More than 100 miles east from Taoyi, it is within the territory of Lu demarcated by Zhao Wuxian, Zhao Jun traveled all night, walked a full 70 miles on the first day, and walked about the same distance the next day, and arrived at Liqiu in the evening.

Xiaqiu was originally the leader of the Wuya Brigade of the State of Qi, and Zhao Wuxian forcibly occupied it when he entered Lu, and after that, he built this place into a fortress city: he asked the craftsmen to change the backward "two versions of the wall" into the four versions of the Jin State's city building method, and the outer Guo was expanded, and the "Xingcheng" was added to the wall, that is, the horse face of later generations, forming an urn city, and the moat was also deepened and widened. In this way, the city was impregnable in the attack and defense of the fifth century BC, unless there was also a siege master like the Gong Defeat Class in the Qi army.

The Qi army naturally couldn't gnaw on this hard bone, and after Guoxia took 20,000 people to try it a few times, he bypassed Xiaqiu far away. Although the hill was saved, the people around him were lucky, and the people who did not have time to retreat into the city suffered ......

After learning the news of the return of the Zhao army, Liqiu was boiling, and there were countless people who brought pot pulp to greet them, but more of them were complainants with tears in their eyes.

A group of Diqiu people knelt down on one knee where Zhao Jun passed, their tattered clothes had been changed and the blood stains on their bodies had been washed away, but their faces were still engraved with fear and hatred.

Ran Geng, who had a lot of sores on his face and hands, pointed to the people of Xiaqiu who were kneeling on the ground and said sadly: "General Zhao, there are only these people left in the entire Sheephorn Township, and the others are all dead. ”

Ran Gengzi Bo Niu, more than 40 years old, originally followed Confucius to travel around the world, but in the Song Dynasty suffered from leprosy, in the Spring and Autumn Period, this is an incurable disease, Ran Geng said goodbye to Confucius and returned to his hometown to die. Unexpectedly, he was rescued by the Lingque doctor who went to practice medicine in the local area, and since then, Ran Geng's attitude towards the Zhao regime has improved a lot in vain, and even took the initiative to seek entry into the Shi and become the third elder of the city of Xiaqiu.

"What's going on?" Zhao Wuxian frowned, generally speaking, the Spring and Autumn Period would not be so desperate in battle, and the large-scale slaughter of the city would not gradually increase until the Warring States and even Chu and Han.

"The local pavilion chief wanted to defend the land and protect the people, and resisted for a while when the Qi army came, and shot a Qi military official with a crossbow......"

The one who died was a "company commander" of Qi State, a grassroots military officer in charge of 50 soldiers in the Qi army, and the beloved people of Qi Country Township who attacked Yangjiao Township saw that their men were killed, and they immediately jumped like thunder, and began to take revenge after breaking the city.

"Get up." Zhao Wuxian's face was very heavy, he dismounted and helped these people up one by one, "Get up all of them and tell me what happened!" ”

The villagers of Giethoorn Township struggled to get up, a trembling old man with a dove cane had to rely on someone to help him stand up, and another woman with dull eyes was stunned, still maintaining a kneeling posture, looking at Zhao Jun passing by in a daze, looking at their neatly swinging feet and the dust raised, with a look of horror.

In the end, it was the old man who spoke first and told him what happened when the Qi army captured Giethoorn Township.

"The old family is to make wine and open a wine shop for a living, just by the stone bridge in the township, the township party says that the corn wine of the old family is the best in Xiaqiu, and the township community and the sacrifice also use my family's wine ......"

The old man likes to make a short story, and after chattering for a while, he cried sadly: "Now it's all gone, Qi Bing came to my house to eat and drink, and poured all the rest of the wine on the ground, laughing loudly, the old children and grandchildren reasoned with them, but they were all tied to a rope and taken away as labor, and the old wife's wife died of anger, and now there is only one old man left in the family......"

In addition to the old man's sorrow, a stout peasant next to him also said indignantly: "My family is outside the township, and when the Qi army passed through Lilu in the middle of the night, they burned down all the fields and mansions, and anyone who dared to step forward to stop them would die." Not only did they plunder, but they simply vented, and they did not eat the cattle after they had slaughtered them, but just left the carcasses there to feed the flies and ravens. ”

"And crush my disciples to death!" A craftsman who claimed to be a goldsmith with a bruised face muttered: "The Qi people went around arresting craftsmen, and when they caught one, they asked if they could smelt iron and forge it, and whether they would or not, they were all arrested." I tried to escape, but I was chased by Qi people. The Qi soldiers laughed in the car, ran after him, and shot him with arrows, as if they were hunting. My disciple ran all the way and finally fell to the ground, the wheels running straight over his head. ”

"How did you escape?"

The man pointed to his leg: "I jumped out of the car while crossing the river, and I was shot in the leg by an arrow, but I picked up a life, and I didn't have to die in a foreign land." ”

Zhao Wuxian set his eyes on the girl again, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her face was withered and terrified, needless to say, she knew that she must have been destroyed by Qi Bing.

In the end, Ran Geng took over the conversation: "The same is true of the nearby Lixiang Township, where the villagers hid in the sentry tower to resist, and the Qi people found firewood and burned them alive inside. When someone opened the door and fled from the fire, they opened their bows and shot them, even the woman with the baby in her arms...... The people of Liqiu were also under the control of Qi five years ago, and their language was the same, and their customs were no different, but those Qi soldiers ignored it, looting and killing people everywhere, alas......"

He looked up at Zhao Wuxian: "It's like, it's like revenge ......"

"Revenge for my breaking of the Qiu back then, revenge for the people of the Qiu Qiu who think they are the people of the Zhao family, don't they regard themselves as Qi people? Or revenge for the Battle of the Snow Plains a few years ago, where I buried many of the Qi people's fathers and brothers in this land? “

Zhao Wuxian's anger was accumulating, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who is the Qi general who attacked Xiaqiu?" “

"It's Yangsheng, the son of Qi State, and there is a villager named Lu Qiuming."

"Yangsheng ......" Zhao Wuxian said this familiar name coldly, "It is indeed possible for him to do this, this person was captured by me, he was a hostage in the Jin Kingdom for several years, and he was only released by Zhibo last year, I am afraid that he did it because he was angry and killed the people under my rule, in order to avenge the shame of being captured." ”

Zhao Wuxian grabbed a passing chariot, and regardless of the surprise and joy of the soldiers above, he climbed up directly, and condescendingly said to those people who came to greet and complain: "Qi people cross the border and kill my people, this act is like killing my children, Wuxian is one step late, ashamed of the father and elder of Xiaqiu, you should be the master of your and others, take revenge, if not, it will be like this!" ”

At the end of the words, the cadre sword moved, and a strand of black hair fell to the ground, although the hair was as light as a feather, but in the eyes of the people of Xiaqiu, this meaning was heavier than Mount Tai!

……

In Xiaqiu, Zhao Wuxian cut off a strand of hair, but it was the same as the last time he asked Zhang Mengtan to burn the city's righteousness in this city, which not only caused the whole city to be shocked, but also inspired their feelings of hatred and hatred. On that day, there were countless young men in Liqiu City who raised their arms and shouted, willing to join the army to find the Qi army for revenge.

"We have also trained several times with Yi Sima and Pavilion Chief on weekdays, and we are willing to serve the Lord and avenge the township party!"

Of course, Zhao Wuxian couldn't wait for them, but he just asked them to be given weapons, and according to the township party and the Xiaqiu guards who were transferred to the rear army, they also gathered more than 1,000 people.

Subsequently, the Zhao army continued to march eastward, and Zhao Wuxian was worried that the plague had been affected like this, and what would happen to the areas further east?

Thinking like this, from Zhao Wuxian to the ordinary soldiers of Lu nationality, they couldn't help but speed up their pace.

As expected, as far as Zhao Wuxian could see, many areas had been trampled upside down, and many of the villages they passed through were empty and in ruins, regardless of farmland, townships, lilu, and pavilions.

They devastated the land like a swarm of locusts, and even set fire to the fields and mulberry forests on which the locals depended for their livelihood. Fortunately, it was midsummer when the leaves of the mulberry trees were still green, and it had rained recently, so the fire did not spread.

Looking at it all the way, Zhao Wuxian's heart was dripping blood.

Zhen, Liqiu and other places were the first territories he controlled, and Wuxian tried to change the system in this land, and personally ran many places in the past few years, pouring a lot of effort, but the Qi army was crazy to turn this place into scorched earth and destroy everything he bothered to build!

They couldn't conquer Ludi, so they wanted to destroy the prosperity here, after all, Qi and Lu had been at war for a hundred years, and resentment had accumulated for a hundred years, and Zhao Wuxian was even more out of control after entering Lu. In the battle of the snowfield, nearly 10,000 Qi people died, and Linzi was full of Sumin, and it is not surprising that the Qi people will retaliate frantically when they come again.

However, according to Ran Geng's description, the military discipline of the Guoxia Department is acceptable, and the Yangsheng Department, the son of the Qi Army, is the culprit. After the news of Zhao Wuxian's breaking of Emperor Qiuwaiguo came, Guoxia began to lead the army to evacuate Xilu, and he put Yangsheng in charge of the rear army, so Gongzi Yangsheng was able to issue an order to let the Qi army plunder at will, whether it was goods, livestock or women, rob what you like, and burn what you don't like, all of this happened about ten days ago......

"I'll make Guoxia and Yangsheng regret it." After Zhao Wuxian said this in silence, he silently walked east.

His anger finally reached its peak when he passed through Gaoyuyi!
