Chapter 49: Childe is not ruthless enough
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he said goodbye to Cao Pi, and then disappeared, and after a while, the curtain of the Chinese army's tent was lifted again, and Cao Cao walked out surrounded by two generals in bright light armor and ten sergeants of the Tiger Guard Battalion, Cao Pi hurriedly saluted and said: "Father." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Cao Cao smiled at Cao Pi and then left in a hurry. But at this glance, Cao Pi had already seen the faces of the two generals wearing Mingguang armor behind Cao Cao, one of whom was Xu Chu with a big waist and a round waist. The other person is Cao Ren, who has not been seen for a long time.
Cao Ren.... It's back! I thought he was ambushing Anzhong as a surprise attack force, but it didn't seem to be the case. Cao Pi now can't understand Cao Cao's intentions, or Guo Jia's intentions.
The sound of the drums didn't last long before it quieted down. Cao Pi knew that a thousand dead soldiers were absolutely dead now, maybe they didn't even touch the city wall. Now Cao Jun's military camp is only a thousand steps away from the city, and with the depth of the barracks, Cao Pi's location is at most 1,500 steps away from the city wall. He believed that soon he would hear the cheers of the soldiers at the head of the city.
Really...... Within twenty seconds of the drumbeat stopping, there was a strange scream and cheer from the other side of the city. That kind of wolf-like strange howl knew that it was Xiliang people as soon as I heard it.
A thousand people died like this.
Cao Pi shook his head, and said in his heart that he should go and see it in the evening. He then returned to his tent, which was spacious, and Cao Pi did some simple physical exercises such as push-ups and planks in it, and then a sergeant brought corn and dried meat. After eating, Cao Pi continued to exercise, and took a nap when he was tired. Towards evening, Cao Pi walked out of the tent, only to find a five-person group of Tiger Guard Battalion sergeants waiting outside the tent.
But I heard the captain Wu ask: "Childe is going out of the camp?" β
"Exactly."
"The sacrificial wine has been waiting outside the camp for a long time. The servant escorted Childe there. Commander Wu said that he took four sergeants to escort Cao Pi out of the camp.
On the way, Cao Pi suddenly found that this captain was a little special, and the general sergeants would call themselves "me, me" and the like, because most of the sergeants were vulgar and unliterate, and the most common titles for the officers were me, me, and me. This Wu Chang claimed to be a little servant, which meant that he had read some books, so Cao Pi opened his mouth and asked, "This warrior, I don't know your surname?" Where is home? β
"The little servant's surname is Ren, and he is a native of Yin Zhongmu, Henan." The captain replied.
"Oh~ You talk like a person who reads. Why did you come to the army on an errand? "In these years, people who can read and write can actually listen to noble people, and no matter how bad they are, they can be officials, and they can't come to the army to live and die. Those who are in chaos and can read are intellectuals. So this person made Cao Pi a little curious.
"Without him, Xin Muwei, Huo Zhifeng Yi'er."
Wei and Huo refer to Wei Qing and Huo Quai, Cao Pi nodded and smiled when he heard this: "Respectable, respectable." "The person in front of him is definitely not more than twenty years old, and he is definitely a hot-blooded teenager.
During the conversation, Cao Pi had already left the barracks, and there was a trace of fishy smell in the spring breeze, which was the bloody smell coming from the side of the city. The terrain where Cao Jun camped was slightly lower than that of the city, so now Cao Pi could not see the corpses under the city walls, but it was normal for the bloody air to come downwind.
A thousand people died below, and it was strange that there was no taste.
Wu Chang surnamed Ren took Cao Pi to a high post full of tender grass, the slope of this high post is not large, it is easy to climb, Guo Jia wearing a robe is sitting alone above, the wind blows the scarf and robe on the head, quite the artistic conception of riding the wind.
Cao Pi waved his hand to Wu Chang, surnamed Ren, climbed up the high post, came to Guo Jia and sat down, looked forward, but saw a pile of corpses lying in a distance of two hundred steps from the fifty trails outside the city. The young grass in that land had turned into a black-green color, apparently soaked in blood.
Turning his eyes, Cao Pi found that there were people standing on many high posts, they were Cao Jun's people, but this group of people was not a sergeant wearing armor, but a man wrapped in thick linen, and there were as few as ten people on each high post, and as many as thirty people, and I didn't know what they were standing on.
Cao Pi was about to ask Guo Jia beside him, but Guo Jia stretched out his hand and pointed to the left. Cao Pi looked in the direction of Guo Jia's finger, but saw Cao Ren, who was dressed in bright light armor, come out first, and behind him, a group of Cao Jun wearing armor pressed a group of ragged men and women from behind a relatively tall hill.
The escort was made up of women and the elderly, not a single child or a man in the prime of life. However, he saw that Cao Ren led the sergeants to escort this group of people to a place 400 steps below the city, less than 200 steps away from the corpse of the nearest besieger. There were about a hundred of them.
"Who are these people...?" Cao Pi asked.
"It is the family of the Xiliang Army under Zhang Xiu. The old ones came from Yongzhou and Liangzhou to find their sons and nephews, and the few ones were the wives of the Liangzhou soldiers who were looking for them here. This year is the second year that Zhang Xiu has been in Jingzhou, and many of his soldiers have already found women. β
"General Zixiao left halfway, just to search for these people?" Cao Pi remembered that Cao Ren disappeared halfway, and then asked.
"Zhang Xiu has not been in Jingzhou for a long time, these women are given to Zhang Xiujun by some wealthy families in Nanyang County, used to flatter Zhang Xiu, in order to be safe, and some are to give their daughters to Zhang Xiujun's generals, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the situation, no matter what, these people have long been despised by the local clan in Nanyang, and now Zhang Xiu is in a deep crisis, General Cao has led the army everywhere, and those who are at odds with Zhang Xiu will naturally send out this group of people who have collusion with the Liangzhou soldiers."
As soon as Guo Jia's voice fell, suddenly dozens of people on a hill suddenly shouted, "Kill my sergeant, and fill the life of your family!" Then the people of the hills shouted in unison:
"Kill my sergeant, and my family will fill in their lives!"
"Kill my sergeant, and my family will fill in their lives!"
At the sound of the shout, Cao Ren waved his hand, and the escort soldiers immediately raised their spears and stabbed at the old men and women. Because of the loud voices of the people, the screams of the more than 100 people could not be heard at all.
Cao Pi's scalp was a little numb. Indiscriminate killing of innocents, he is a little difficult to accept.
At this time, the drums sounded, and piles of Cao troops turned out from the various hills, neatly lined up behind Cao Ren, and in a moment, there were 10,000 soldiers in a row. These sergeants were naturally ready to prevent Zhang Xiu from leaving the city to obstruct Cao's army.
Then ten passages were divided into dense formations, and one after another old men and women were pushed in front of Cao's army, this group, there were five hundred people.
Cao Pi's eyelids jumped when he saw it, and he tried to keep his voice calm: "This is the way to make Zhang Xiu angry?" β
"NOW AS LONG AS LIU BIAO ARRIVES IN ANZHONG, NO MATTER HOW JIA XU ADVISES, ZHANG XIU WILL PURSUE WITH ALL HIS MIGHT, EVEN IF ZHANG XIU DOES NOT CHASE YU, THEN HIS SOLDIERS WILL CHASE AFTER HIM DESPERATELY. There are a lot of their favorite concubines in this. Guo Jia said with a smile, the smile matched his pale face, which looked a little hideous.
"After two years here, someone should have given birth to a child, why don't you see a baby?" Cao Pi felt that his voice was a little unstable.
Cao Ren waved his hand, and in the sound of the people's eight characters, five hundred unarmed people fell, and blood soaked the grass and the land.
"Baby? To those Nanyang clans whose hearts are empty, these children have grown up, men can be slaves, women can be maids, fatherless and motherless people, and there is no resentment in their hearts. β
"How many people has General Zixiao arrested?" Cao Pi watched another group of people being pushed out and asked.
"There are less than 2,000, and there are still many people who have slipped through the net, and most of these people live in the counties near Wancheng and Anzhong, which are very scattered and difficult to search...."
Another five hundred people fell .... Then someone else was pushed out.
At this moment, Cao Pi didn't know what kind of mood he was in, and it was indeed extremely cruel to slaughter unarmed people. But it was enough to make Zhang Xiu's army, who witnessed the atrocities of Cao's army, angry.
Yu perishes and drives people crazy. Cruel and prudent means.
"Sir, good means...."Cao Pi held back for a long time, and said this sentence with a complicated mood.
"Hmm. That's exactly what I'm doing. Cao Pi listened to the explosion of his scalp, his fists clenched, he really wanted to give Guo Jia a look.
Since the day of the crossing, the two memories have fused, it is not that he has never seen a dead person, on the contrary, in the memory of that "Cao Pi", he has seen too many times. It's not that he doesn't know the cruelty of war. But he never imagined that war had such a vile, dirty, and filthy side.
He thought that the compromises, concessions, and deals in the political struggle were dirty enough, but compared to the scene in front of him, it was like a child's play.
Cao Pi, Cao Tiansheng, have you seen it? This is your weakness, Liu Ye can see things with your eyes and govern people, but he can't give him a murderous knife, and he can kill a few bullies.
These defenseless people in front of him, Liu Ye may not be able to do it here! He is decisive, but not cold-blooded! Only the ghost in front of him, Guo Fengxiao, can! This is the knife that kills! Cold-blooded knives! Precise knives!
These people, if they die, they will die, and they will also win the applause of the Nanyang County clan.
Slaughter the people, anger the opponents, curry favor with the squires, kill three birds with one stone!
How cold-blooded to be able to come up with such a scheme! What a pervert! How cheap!
What a genius!
Cao Pi roared in his heart, suppressing his anger towards Guo Jia, Guo Jia was bent on helping Cao Cao, as Cao Cao's son, there was no reason to be angry, not to mention, this may be the way to survive in troubled times.
At the same time, he lamented the loss of life, but a smile appeared on his face: "Admire, admire." β
Guo Jia has been paying attention to Cao Pi's eyes and expressions, watching him go from compassion to anger, from anger to anger, from clarity to calmness, and from calm to smiling. These changes are just a few breaths away.
In the year of the total horn, this kind of mind... Guo Jia also smiled: "Childe... It's still not ruthless enough! β
Without waiting for Cao Pi to speak, Guo Jia got up spontaneously, patted the hem, and walked down the hill without making a fuss, and the clear voice came into Cao Pi's ears
"The troubled times are not ruthless, but they harm others and themselves......."
At this time, the last of the old men and women also collapsed in a pool of blood.......
Boom City... In the afterglow of the evening, it seems to be dyed with a layer of blood.
