Chapter 809: Differential Treatment
With such a decision, the evacuation operation was naturally put on the agenda, all the valuable things in the palace were collected, and the valuable things in the homes of the Khotanese ministers were also packed, and it only took one day, from Li Yuanchang to the small soldiers guarding the gate outside, everyone was ready to evacuate.
This shows how great the potential of human beings is when lives are threatened.
Three days later, the three armies of the Western Regions Army gathered outside the city of Khotan, but they were faced with a city with its gates wide open, the people fleeing in all directions, and the city was full of smoke.
"What's going on?" Yu Chi Baolin looked at this empty city with no garrison from afar, and asked suspiciously.
"General, the officials in the city have fled, swept away everything of value, and the direction should be the direction of the Western Turks." The 'Fangs' spy, who had already figured out the situation, reported back.
"Escaped?" Yu Chi Baolin smacked his lips and pointed his hand at the Khotanese people who were fleeing: "Arrest all these escapees, and gather those who have not fled in the city." ”
"Whoa!" The spy said yes and went down to give the order, and soon the second cavalry team led by Tumidu scattered in all directions, driving away the fleeing crowd with the longbow in his hand.
"Don't kill us, save you, let our family go!" When all the people who had fled outside the city were driven together, the cries and cries were already in unison.
"Kill!" Listening to the ears of those who were surrounded by Khotanese people, it was like a horn for life, and countless people opened their mouths in surprise, and even forgot to cry.
That's thousands, how can you say kill and kill? Doesn't it mean that the Tang Heavenly Army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness? In the battle of Shache City, the Tang army did not commit any crimes against the people, why did they come here but it was such a result.
However, all the confusion has stopped here, after several bloody battles, these alien soldiers belonging to the Tang Dynasty army have already killed the red eyes, where do they care who they kill.
With the order of Tu Midu, the swords in the hands of the countless Hui soldiers of the Second Cavalry Brigade had already been waved out.......
"Run, Run......"
"Don't kill us ......"
"I'm not from Khotan......"
The crowd of people who were gathered together scurried around with all kinds of terrible screams.
But how could they run over a four-legged war horse with two legs, and in the frenzied escape, people kept being killed, and people were constantly pushed down and trampled by their companions, and everyone hated why their parents only gave birth to two legs, and how good it would be if they had a few more legs.
"Pauling, let's go too." Gao Zhan and Dong Jiansen watched the blood of the Second Cavalry Brigade on the side, and bursts of blood began to appear in their eyes, and they kept gently ****ing their lips.
"It's good to let them go for this kind of thing, my Datang people don't have the blood of the people on their hands." Without waiting for Wei Chi Baolin to answer, Wang Xuance said faintly.
"But ......, I'm really unwilling!" Although Gao Zhan and Dong Jiansen were a little funny, they knew that Wang Xuance was saying good things, and they also knew that if these brothers under their command could not touch the blood of ordinary people, it was best not to touch it.
"If you are unwilling, when you turn around and meet the Western Turks, you will have a good fight, and what kind of ability is it to be angry with ordinary people." Xi Er was stunned and took over the conversation.
This guy was stunned, but he was full of a sense of justice in his bones, he likes to fight and kill, but he doesn't like to vent these desires on ordinary people, even if these people are not the people of Datang.
The massacre lasted for most of the hour, until it was almost dark, and the night was completely lost.
"Why kill them all? General Tumidu, I need an explanation. Seeing Tumidu come back with people, Wang Xuance asked without joy or anger.
"That's why." With a "dang bang", a gold plate was thrown to the ground by Tumidu: "They are thugs, not people, is my explanation qualified?" ”
"Well done!" Wang Xuance, who was sitting on the horse, looked condescendingly at the gold plate that should belong to the palace, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"I'm not a murderer, and I won't do it to ordinary people, but I don't have any mercy for some thugs who take advantage of the fire to rob." Tu Midu's eyes were a little confused, and I don't know if I remembered some unpleasant past.
Wei Chi Baolin waved his hand, signaling Wang Xuance and Tumidu not to worry about such a trivial matter, and at the same time said: "Okay, take your soldiers back to rest, remember, collect all the captured things, and count them and seal them early tomorrow morning." ”
"Whoa!" Tumidu bowed on his horse, and then turned around with his guard.
All seizures must be returned to the public, which is not a practice only in modern times, and in ancient times, the same was true of the more stern armies. Otherwise, Hou Junji would not have been impeached for secretly possessing the spoils, and Li Jing would not have been terrified by giving his subordinates the spoils privately!
Therefore, Tumidu said to Wei Chi Baolin that there was no objection to collecting the seized things, because this was military discipline, and it was not that Wei Chi deliberately embarrassed him.
"General Wei Chi, do you want to enter the city?" The commander of the third cavalry team saw that the matter outside the city had been dealt with, and urged the horse to come to Wei Chi Baolin's side and asked.
"Set up camp outside the city tonight, and you will bring people into the city early tomorrow morning, and everything will go as usual." Yu Chi Baolin looked at the sky, hesitated for a moment and said.
The sky has begun to darken, and now is not a good time to enter the city, it is not good to be attacked by someone, and it is easy to cause unnecessary losses.
There was no word all night, and as soon as the next day got up, more than a dozen people from the gate of the main city of Khotan opened cautiously walked out of it, and shrank towards the main camp of the Western Regions Army.
"Stop!" Before they got close to the camp five hundred paces, a patrolling knight rode over and stopped a few people: "Who are you?" Why trespass into the camp? ”
"Honorable General Datang." Among the dozen or so Khotanese people, an old guy about sixty years old walked out tremblingly: "We are here to surrender and report the news, hoping to meet the commander of your army." ”
The old guy didn't know what to call the patrolling knight, so he could only summarize it as a general, facing a group of Qiu Ba, this was the most direct and offending way the old man could think of.
"Who the hell are you? What is the identity, make it clear! "Being called a general makes the patrol knight's face look a little better, after all, even if he is not a general, at least this is a good sign.
