After seeing the suffering of the Han people in Shuozhou, they couldn't help but ask themselves in their hearts, as a soldier, did I really do my duty?

With guilt in his heart, the 200 soldiers hurried faster and faster, eager to pick up all the Han people at once. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At night, Zhang Mao and others found a mountain village where the Han people lived, and also told the people what they said.

When the people heard this, the reaction was exactly the same as that of the people in the first mountain village, and many people cried loudly, and as soon as the suppressed emotions were released, they could not be calmed down for a long time.

Subsequently, Zhang Mao still asked them to take refuge in Shuozhou City, and the people did as they were told, so Zhang Mao and others stayed in the mountain village for one night at the invitation of the villagers.

On the second day, Zhang Mao and the others got up to say goodbye and walked towards the next mountain village.

In this way, by the evening of this day, Zhang Mao and others had already encountered more than ten small mountain villages, the situation of these mountain villages was no different, all of them were bullied by the Liao people, many mountain villages that originally had a population of about 200 people, now there are only seventy or eighty people left, and more than half of the people who were persecuted and died.

Finally, Zhang Mao and others came to a small county town.

This county is now gloomy, Zhang Mao and others inquired, and learned that this is because Yi Dechao's army had attacked and conquered here, and they only left this morning.

Zhang Mao couldn't help but admire in his heart, joining the army was really worthy of joining the army, and even the route of the general's expedition was not bad.

In fact, although Zhang Mao is only a commander of a thousand people, after all, he was born in the forbidden army, and he still has some connections, and he has also heard about Mi Dechao's snubbing of Zhao Gu, and he knows that Mi Dechao will not tell Zhao Gu the route of the march.

After entering the county seat, Zhang Mao and two hundred soldiers quickly gathered the Han people in the city, they were easy to find, where the house was the most dilapidated, they must live there, where the work was the hardest, they must do things, so it only took an hour for Zhang Mao to gather all the Han people in the county.

Compared with those people in small mountain villages, these people already knew about the entry of the Great Song army into the city, and they all saw it with their own eyes on the day of the siege of the city, and now they were not surprised to hear what Zhang Mao brought, and they regained their calm after a little alarm.

And those Liao people who were left in the county by Mi Dechao are not so lucky, before Mi Dechao was in a hurry to grab the credit, so he didn't have time to deal with them, but Zhang Mao and his party had time, so they let the Han people find out all the Liao people who had bullied them, and then take revenge in front of all the Liao people.

The Liao people in the city still accounted for the majority at this time, but in the face of the two hundred heavily armed Great Song forbidden troops, they still did not dare to move, and could only let the Han untouchables who had been trampled under their feet trample them back again.

The Han people who took revenge were naturally grateful to Zhang Mao and others, and then they tidied up and went straight to Shuozhou City out of the city.

Seeing the people leaving, Zhang Mao turned his head and glared at the remaining Liao people viciously, and asked, "What should I do with these people?" Do you have any ideas? ”

"Commander, is there no order to join the army?" A centurion asked.

Zhang Mao shook his head, and the centurion said: "I have heard of Zhao Joinjun a long time ago, it is said that he suppressed bandits twice, but basically none of our brothers died in battle, it can be described as a bloodless soldier, people say that he is a last resort, how to deal with the Liao people, he should not be negligent, right?" ”

"You're right." Zhang Mao lowered his head and pondered: "Oh, I understand, the reason why Zhao Senjun didn't count these Liao people into account means that he didn't treat them as human beings, so what kind of politeness do we have to tell them?" Just kill it. ”

"Killed? They are not cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, how can they say that they will be killed? The centurion asked.

Zhang Mao smiled coldly: "It's not a human thing, isn't it just a cow, sheep, pig and dog?" Why can't you kill it? ”

The centurion was speechless, and Zhang Mao immediately ordered that all the Liao people in the city be beheaded for public display.

So, rows of big knives were waved, and the heads of the Liao people suddenly rolled to the ground, and the smell of blood permeated the entire city, and they felt sick when they smelled it.

Under this order, more than 1,000 Liao people fell to the ground, and this was because some Liao people saw that the wind was wrong and fled in advance, otherwise in this small county alone, there would be 5,000 Liao people who would be ghosts under the knife.

After dealing with the affairs of the county seat, Zhang Mao gathered two hundred soldiers and said: "Now there is one day left before the time stipulated by Zhao to join the army, let's go north for another day, and notify as many people as we can." ”

"Yes."

――――――――――

On the other side, outside Shuozhou City, what Zhao Gu was doing was no different from Zhang Mao.

With a wave of Zhao Gu's hand, nearly 10,000 Liao soldiers and ordinary Liao names were cut off their heads, and the corpses were piled up several meters high, densely surrounding Shuozhou City.

"Set it on fire." Taking a deep breath, Zhao Gu ordered.

"Yes."

After a while, more than a dozen thick smoke rose from behind Zhao Gu, and then there was a stench, which was the smell of the corpse being burned.

Nowadays, although the snow is heavy again, it can't stand such a burn, so on the sky outside Shuozhou City, the snowflakes suddenly became smaller, and then rain fell, which was the product of the snowflakes melting at high temperatures.

Zhao Gu stepped down the city wall, and at the same time left the city wall with him more than 20,000 Han people in Shuozhou City, these people were the group of people who had been enslaved, and now the revenge has been avenged, many people have left tears of joy, and silently say goodbye to their relatives in heaven in their hearts.

It was also at this moment that more than 20,000 Han people looked at Zhao Gu's departing figure, and suddenly knelt down towards him silently, kowtowing three heads silently.

Zhao Gu, Ergouzi, and Li Danran returned to the small courtyard, and suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

Ergouzi and Li Danran hurriedly went to help him, but saw that Zhao Gu was already lying there vomiting vigorously, the corners of his eyes were full of tears, his limbs were weak, and his convulsions were not good.

The two hurriedly helped him up, followed Ergouzi to invite a doctor, the doctor came over to take a look, and sighed: "Marquis Zhao is in a state of anger, and his mood is irritable and causes vomiting, so I'll prescribe a prescription for him." ”

At the end, the doctor whispered: "Yes, no matter who orders the beheading of 10,000 people at once, he will not feel better, he fell ill for the sake of the people of Shuozhou." ”

His whisper, Er Gouzi and Li Danran didn't hear it clearly, but they could also figure out the reason, the two of them stood aside and watched 10,000 Liao people being beheaded, they would be shocked, not to mention Zhao Gu, who personally ordered it!
