Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Scourge of the Soldiers

Since the heavy snow came after the winter solstice, Qingyang City was almost covered in heavy snow. [Ran^Text^Library] []

The blue brick houses are covered with snow, but the world is turned into a paved jade. The walls were so crystal clear that even the horses lying in the stables could not bear to disturb the silence of the morning.

Because the heavy snow blocked the mountain road, the merchants who returned from Liaoyang City had to stop for a few days and wait for the officers and soldiers to clear the snow before returning home to reunite with their long-absent wives and children.

Busy for half a winter, but also tired.

In the inn, these northern men were dreaming, and in the dream, they had probably returned to their hometowns, and handed the rouge boxes and candy in their bags to their wives and children.

The fire in the room is booming, but it renders the inn warmer, the wine jug on the side of the table is empty, the core of the food is exhausted, the cups and plates are messy, but I don't know that the East is white.

Everything was so peaceful.

At least that's what the guy at the Qingyang Inn who just got up thinks, since the shopkeeper left the Qingyang Inn, he has become the shopkeeper of this small inn, and he is diligent every day, but his income is not cheap.

With some money, you can muster up the courage to propose marriage to the old gentleman next door, marry his beautiful and virtuous daughter, and give birth to a son to inherit the inn, but it is also beautiful.

Tumbling up from the bed, he yawned with this good wish, then dressed, and carried the toilet towards the thatched house.

The winter in Liaodong was too cold, so the boy put the toilet aside, rubbed his hands, and then picked up the snow flakes under the low eaves, and threw them at the horses in the stables that had just opened their eyes.

The flakes of snow fell to the ground, but instead of flying towards the horses, they slid down their hands and fell to the ground, and then blood gushed out, dyeing the snow on the four walls red, but it was so terrible.

Disturbed by this terrible sight, the horse sprang up from the ground and wanted to neigh, but as far as his eyes met, the scimitar slashed across his head.

The next moment blood surged in the stable, and as the blood sprayed on the horse's skull, the blood flowed out of the stable, staining all the snow around it red.

After doing this series of things, a black-clothed masked man walked up to the sturdy man and whispered, "The entrance and exit are blocked, no one can escape......"

The sturdy man sneered, then bent down to wipe the blood on the young man's neck on his hands, then put it to his mouth and lightly added it, saying, "It's so sweet...... The blood of the Han people actually tastes like this......"

Looking at this scene, the man in black looked at him and shook his body slightly, but he quickly came back to his senses, he stood in place, looked at the sturdy man with a pair of frightened eyes, and said, "Your Excellency, ......"

"Kill them all, not a single one can escape......" The sturdy man immediately interrupted the words of the man in black, and snorted coldly: "Have you forgotten how our people died?" …… It was shot to death by these Han people with bows and arrows. ”

The man in black nodded slightly, and then beckoned dozens of other black-clothed people around him, holding the scimitar that was still stained with blood in his hand, and rushed in all directions.

The quiet town was not quiet at this moment, and there were bursts of screams from the four directions of the south, east, west, and north, there were children, old people, and women, in short, the screams were piercing.

The sturdy man stood on a street in Qingyang Town, took off his cloak slightly, revealing his braided and bare forehead, looking coldly at the Quartet crying and wailing, and smiled.

In an instant, Qingyang City, which was originally peaceful, fell into a dead silence.

The bloody meaning came to the nose, making people dizzy, but the sturdy man seemed to enjoy it very much, gently inhaling the fishy smell in the cold breath, and showing a slight smile.

"Your Excellency...... All solved......"

The sturdy man smiled slightly, then glanced at Liaoyang City in the distance, and said lightly: "Go and send a message to Liaoyang City...... Tell them that we slaughtered Qingyang Town......"

The man in black hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Don't you withdraw ......?" ”

The sturdy man sneered, then licked his chapped lips and smiled, "Li Chengliang is not very powerful...... Over the years, my clan has no place to go, so today I will take Liaoyang City to ......"

"But......" The man in black glanced at the killing intent in the other party's eyes, but he didn't dare to say any more, so he had to leave quickly.

Looking at the man in black who was far away, the sturdy man laughed loudly and muttered to himself, "Li Ruxuan...... See how you compare to Li Chengliang? ”

……

After the winter solstice, Liaoyang City did not have the joy of the festival, but was shrouded in a strong atmosphere of panic and anxiety, and many shopkeepers even closed the door long ago, sat in front of the brazier, and kept asking God to worship the Buddha.

"I heard that everyone in Qingyang Town was killed overnight...... I don't know if it's a ghost asking for your life......"

"What nonsense, where did the ghost come from...... Moreover, there are hundreds of households in Qingyang City...... There is some truth in saying this, otherwise how could so many people die overnight. ”

"Isn't it, a month ago, the officers and soldiers on Erlong Mountain clashed with the Jurchen merchants, and the officers and soldiers shot and killed several merchants...... Presumably these Jurchen ghosts are here to ask for their lives......"

"Don't go to the officers and soldiers...... What are these ordinary people doing......

The gossip in the city is probably like this, every household has all kinds of conjectures about Qingyang Town, and there are even rumors that evil ghosts are going to come to Liaoyang City to ask for their lives in the future.

It is said that it is to turn Liaoyang City into a second Qingyang City, and slaughter all the old and young in the city.

Liaoyang City, regimental training ground.

Li Ruxuan looked at the thousands of soldiers in front of him, and under the black armor, there was a group of soldiers who were a little immature, but still full of indignation. Under this cold winter, it is extremely solemn.

Now these young soldiers are already full of grief and indignation. The so-called evil ghosts kill people are nothing more than rumors, but the real murderers are a group of villains.

These people rose between the white mountains and black waters, colluded with the Mongols, and in recent years, the area of Liaodong has also been extremely rampant.

For a long time, the Ming Dynasty often sent troops to exterminate, especially Li Chengliang, who repeatedly attacked and defeated the Jurchen tribe, but it made this group of tribal chiefs miserable, and they were always suppressed to shepherd sheep outside Liaodong.

Now these people have come to the realm of Daming like this, slaughtering hundreds of people in Daming, how can they bear it?

Rao is a Confucian general like Li Ruxuan, and he couldn't stand a few scoldings in his heart, and then he saw the guards come to report the news, and then he regained his look.

"It's clear that it's indeed some Jurchens...... However, there are not many people, about sixty or seventy people...... And now I am still staying in Qingyang Town......"

"Good ......" Li Ruxuan said coldly: "So arrogant, dare to stay there and wait for death after killing someone......"

After speaking softly, Li Ruxuan swept over thousands of soldiers and said loudly: "Three days ago, hundreds of innocent people of my Ming Dynasty were slaughtered by a group of Jurchens in Qingyang Town for no reason...... There may be relatives and friends in this, or acquaintances...... They are all my Ming people, and the duty of my Ming border army is to protect them, and now we are derelict in our duties......"

The voice was a little heavy, but just as Li Ruxuan said this, thousands of young border soldiers were already indignant, and they were all gearing up, eager to rush to Liaoyang City at this time and slaughter all the barbarians to comfort the dead people.

Li Ruxuan paused for a moment and shouted angrily: "This group of ignorant barbarians, slaughtering my compatriots, is it tolerable...... Soldiers, do you dare to fight with it? ”

As soon as the words fell, thousands of border soldiers shouted in unison, each raising their spears in their hands, and shouting in their mouths: "Swear to die and fight ......."

After the cheering stopped, Li Ruxuan snorted coldly and said loudly: "Okay, I'll take the lead in the charge......"

As soon as the words fell, a person walked out of the crowd, the man's face was heavy, and he hated the person who was slaughtered, he hugged his fist towards Li Ruxuan, and said: "The reason why the Jurchens dare to do this is because there is Mongolia behind them...... If General Li rashly sends troops, he may fall for the Mongols' ......"

"So what?" Li Ruxuan can also think of this, but how can he be willing to let those people go like this, and how can he calm the anger of these thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty.

"Wu Zhiyuan, you stay in Liaoyang, and I'll talk about the next things when I come back......

Wu Zhiyuan, as a thousand households in Liaoyang City, was naturally qualified to talk to Li Ruxuan about this, but the other party did not accept it, and even crossed the horse and went away, his heart suddenly sank, and then he caught up with the sturdy horse and shouted: "General, be careful...... If the Jurchens dare to take no more than 100 people to stay in Qingyang City, there will definitely be an ambush...... The general must pay attention to ......"

Li Ruxuan snorted lightly, glanced back at the timid scholar with disdain, and said coldly: "Stay in Qingyang City." ”

……

Wake up the backyard of the Bake Tea House.

The snowflakes fluttered in the air, and with the place where Shen Wuyan's blade passed, it turned into a lonely, and a few plum blossoms in the corner of the wall exuded a faint fragrance, but it made this snowy day even more cold.

Shen Wuyan's eyes were slightly closed, his brows were tightly locked, and when the katana in his hand turned around, it was full of murderous aura.

It's been a long time since I've had such anger, and I probably still want to suppress it so as not to explode and do something bad, but how to suppress it.

"Zhuang is determined to drink Hulu meat, laugh and drink the blood of the Huns, and drink the blood ...... the Huns" muttered softly, but it made the ancestor standing on the side a little helpless.

He glanced at the lonely sky and said softly, "Hit ...... Don't hit ......"

The blade in Shen Wuyan's hand was still flickering, but he didn't answer his words, and he didn't put the knife away until a rush of footsteps came.

Looking at Wu Zhiyuan, who was coming quickly, Shen Wuyan said softly: "What's the matter......

"General Li has sent troops......" Wu Zhiyuan's expression was not good-looking, obviously he had been extremely consumed by him all the way.

Shen Wuyan didn't care about it so much, and continued to ask, "It's all some rookie eggs...... Alas, the old ancestor...... Rectify the manpower and be ready to go to Qingyang Town at any time......"

"The general personally led the troops to ......" Wu Zhiyuan gasped and said in a deep voice.

Shen Wuyan's face changed suddenly, and then he ran towards the outside of the courtyard, and said loudly: "Mr. Wu took your people to seal the city gate and arrested all the Mongolian merchants......
