Chapter 129: Returning Home (3)
Zhao Gu didn't slowly wake up until noon on the second day, and after waking up, he didn't appear in front of everyone again, but just lay on the bed, motionless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a person who crossed over from the earth in the future, Zhao Gu didn't say that he killed people, he had never even seen the scene of killing, but now he cut off the heads of 10,000 Liao people with a wave of his hand, and the contradictions and impacts in Zhao Gu's heart can be imagined.
In this case, he just vomited and convulsed for a while, which was still in good health, but if he met a psychologically fragile person, he was afraid that he would go crazy directly.
But Rao is like this, his mood is still very low now, although he gave the order as a last resort, but just killing 10,000 people, Zhao Gu was still panicked in his heart.
When Mi Dechao left, he only left a thousand soldiers, but this Shuozhou city is so big, a thousand soldiers can patrol every day, once a large army is coming, it will be difficult to resist, if these 10,000 Liao people are allowed to stay in the city, once they see the opportunity to come behind the Song army, it will inevitably give the Song army a heavy blow, making the situation more critical.
For the sake of the stability of Shuozhou City, Zhao Gu could only give the order to massacre the Liao people.
Zhao Gu just lay weak all the time, and he only ate some liquid food when he ate, and after a while, he vomited again, until two days later, Zhang Mao returned to the city with two hundred soldiers.
On the sixth day of the first month of the second year of Chunhua, Zhang Mao returned to Shuozhou City with a total of 10,000 Han people in two counties, and Zhao Gu had to cheer up to meet him and the people.
At this time, the people had heard that Zhao Gu ordered the slaughter of 10,000 Liao people, and they respected and feared Zhao Gu, and Zhao Gu was also very helpless about this.
But Zhao Gu did not regret it, if there was really a Liao army to attack Shuozhou City in the future, it would show that his decision was correct.
Even if the Liao army was directly frightened by the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and did not dare to attack Shuozhou, or did not care about attacking Shuozhou, Zhao Gu did not regret it, which of these Liao people did not have the blood of the Han nationality on his hands, which one did not bully the Han people, and if he killed him, he would kill him, there is nothing to regret, it can only be said that the reincarnation of heaven has its own retribution.
Coupled with the 10,000 people brought by Zhang Mao, as well as the people who came to take refuge in a scattered manner, there were 33,000 people in Shuozhou City at once, and in front of more than 30,000 people, Zhao Gu climbed the high platform specially arranged by Li Danran.
Looking at the more than 30,000 people below, Zhao Gu said loudly: "Fellow citizens, from today onwards, the Liao people will no longer be able to bully you, and this Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will completely belong to you in the future, welcome...... Go home! ”
Hearing the word home, many Han people cried on the spot, how could they have the word home?
In the past, although the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were the places where their ancestors had lived for generations, even they had to be enslaved by the Liao, how could their places be kept?
Therefore, it is not so much that the sixteen states of Yanyun are their common home, it is better to say that they are the common house slaves of the Liao people in the sixteen states of Yanyun!
And now, this common home has finally been recognized, and it will also be protected by the Great Song Dynasty court and the Great Song army in the future.
All of a sudden, there was a cry in Shuozhou City, adults cried, children also cried, adults were happy, children were also happy, and the excitement was indescribable.
Several people who were usually quite prestigious among the people were invited into the City Lord's Mansion by Zhao Gu, and Li Danran had already arranged a banquet here to entertain everyone.
Zhao Gu also ate a little with everyone, but I don't know if it was because there were more people or for some other reason, he didn't feel vomiting anymore.
After being full of wine and food, everyone wanted to ask Zhao Gu to arrange the next things for them, Zhao Gu pondered for a while, and slowly shook his head: "Everyone, Ben Hou is just a member of the army, and he is not familiar with local government affairs, what are you going to do next, Ben Hou really doesn't have any good ideas, you can only watch and do it yourself, but Ben Hou can promise that as long as it is something in Shuozhou City, you can take it if you need it." ”
Everyone nodded, and then said goodbye and left, but Li Danran said at this time: "Brother Zhao, why don't you take advantage of this to help them settle down?" ”
"Why should I help them settle down?" Zhao Gu asked rhetorically.
"Big brother, aren't you worried that the Liao army will come to attack Shuozhou City? If we can get them to their hearts, we can also choose strong men among them to help us defend the city. ”
Zhao Gu smiled: "Are you a Datang now?" The military system of the Great Song Dynasty has an order, and the military generals are not allowed to interfere in local government affairs, and it is already benevolent and righteous for me to send people to gather them, and if I want to help them settle down again, then the Privy Council is afraid that I will soon be called to tea. ”
"As for what you said about letting them help defend the city, it is even more terrible, the ministers do not have the right to temporarily recruit soldiers, this is the matter of the Privy Council and the three ya."
"What if ......." Li sighed indifferently, and stopped talking.
Zhao Gu smiled again: "If the Liao army really presses the border, I can't care about how the people in the city will react in order to protect their homeland, after all, they are not under my control." ”
Li Danran smiled and stopped talking.
In fact, Zhao Gu summoned these people, although he had the intention of protecting them, but he didn't have the intention of using them to protect Shuozhou, since Yi Dechao only left him a thousand soldiers and horses, he naturally had to find another way.
Otherwise, if Shuozhou City is lost at that time, those who know will say that it is Yi Dechao who deliberately rectified Zhao Gu, and those who don't know think that Zhao Gu is incompetent, so he lost the city.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed in a flash.
In the past three days, Zhao Gu is still shrunk in the quilt all day long, only occasionally it doesn't snow in the sky, he gets up to move, as for the others, the situation is not much better, although the scenery of the northern country is beautiful, but it is also really 'moving'.
On this day, the grain and grass brigade of the imperial court arrived to transport grain and grass, and Zhao Gu had to brave the wind and snow to open the door to welcome people.
Welcoming a group of logistics soldiers transporting grain and grass in, Zhao Gu knew that the leader of this team turned out to be Cao Wei.
When the two met in Shuozhou, they naturally had a long talk, and on the second day, Cao Wei left some grain and grass and continued to take people to send grain and grass to Mi Dechao.
It was also on this day that a rumor suddenly spread in Shuozhou City.
The general content of the rumor is that the food and grass sent by the imperial court to the soldiers of the Northern Expedition are insufficient to cope with all the soldiers and civilians, and Zhao Senjun has decided to give up some of the people to protect the army.
