Chapter 238: The Bloodstained Road

"Let me ......, be typical?" Zuo Shaoyang didn't come back to his senses for a while.

"Yes!" Team Fu Zhengle laughed and said, "This is the top priority. Therefore, the general ordered me to bring these two bags of rice, pork, and duck eggs, and one of these bags of rice, as well as pork and duck eggs, was given to you by the general. - Don't worry, it's not within your ration limit. Another bag of grain is for you to pretend to be your grain and sell it to the officers and soldiers, and I will lead a team to dress you in red and hang colors, beat gongs and drums to send you there, and the general's plaque will also be carried and paraded through the streets. After going around the city, it was almost noon, and the grain was delivered to the Yamen Square in the state capital, where there was a grain collection point, and the grain was sold to them, and the money from the sale of grain would of course belong to you. It is also a reward for the great general. Zuo Gongzi, what do you think? ”

Zuo Shaoyang understands that the general is a typical one who spends money to buy. If you insist on putting Miao Peilan's heroic deeds on your head before, Miao Peilan is her godsister, and she is still reliable, and now she directly takes food to herself, and then sells herself to the army, so as to set up a model of supporting the army in response to the general's call, it is purely fake.

However, many exemplary models need to be shaped and processed in order to become brilliant and great. This has been the case since ancient times.

Just as Fu Team Zheng said just now, the general now needs a model of supporting the army, and he has chosen himself, and he must make this model more brilliant in order to play the appeal of the example.

It's a well-known and profitable job, so why not do it. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly smiled and said: "This ......, hehe, the villain resolutely obeys the general's orders." ”

"Excellent! Let's go! ”

So saying, he stepped out of the door, and ordered the soldiers to go in and carry out a bag of rice, and put it on the horse and tie it, and several soldiers took out the red silk, and soon put the bag of rice on the back of the war horse in red and color. Even the horse's head was hung with a big red flower.

Team Fu was standing at the door of the pharmacy, looked left and right, and said loudly: "Who is in charge of this piece of grain?" ”

He is the general's personal guard, that is the general's heart and liver Douban can be filled, and several officers in charge of this grain collection task have followed them all the way, listening to them, they don't dare to get closer, just wait from afar. Hearing the call, he quickly ran over.

Team Fu was pouting and looking up and down: "Are you in charge of collecting grain on this street?" ”

"Yes, the little one is the one who sees the team."

"Well," Team Fu pointed to the plaque of Guizhitang with a whip, and then pointed to the plaque held by several soldiers, and said: "The little man of Guizhitang has tried his best to treat the wounded soldiers of our army many times, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and killed twenty-eight enemy soldiers by himself!" Now, he has taken out ten more buckets of surplus grain and sold them to our army. The general praised Zuo Gongzi as a 'model for supporting the army'! Now, Ben is going to accompany Zuo Gongzi to sell grain, and promote Zuo Gongzi's military deeds along the way......"

The officers listened as they sent a flattering smile to Zuo Shaoyang.

Team Fu continued: "You are responsible for the collection of grain in this area, and you must be responsible for protecting the safety and integrity of Guizhitang, if something goes wrong, hehe, you can go to the general with your head raised!" Do you hear me? ”

"Yes, yes!" Several officers nodded and hurriedly agreed, "The team is assured, we will definitely protect Guizhitang, and we promise with our heads that there will be absolutely no mistakes!" ”

"That's good!" Team Fu turned to Zuo Shaoyang and said, "If there is anything in your hall in the future, just tell a few of them." ”

"Don't dare!" Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly arched his hand.

"As it should be!" The officers nodded vigorously at Zuo Shaoyang, "If there is anything, Zuo Gongzi should command." Hehehe"

Team Fu was instructing the entourage soldiers to put on Zuo Shaoyang and hang red colors, and brought a war horse, which was also dressed in red and color, and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Get on the horse!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang felt that he was following the groom's officer, anyway, there were soldiers leading the horse, and he was not worried, but he had an injury on his leg, and it was not easy to work hard, so he slowly got on the horse, grabbed the saddle beam, and looked sideways, only to see his father, Miao Peilan, and Bai Zhihan all looking at him with a smile at the door. Especially Miao Peilan smiled the most, so she made a grimace at her.

Team Fu also turned over on his horse, waved his whip, and the drum music sounded loudly again. The one who carried the plaque walked in the front, and Zuo Shaoyang was behind, and the Fu team was deliberately dragging a distance behind the horse's body to make him stand out more.

Behind the Fu team, two soldiers with loud voices rode horses, whenever the team marched to the street, many people came out to watch, the sound of gongs and drums stopped, and these two people began to loudly preach Zuo Shaoyang's advanced deeds.

The onlookers heard that he had killed twenty-eight enemy soldiers by himself, and his eyes widened in surprise. Seeing that he transported ten buckets of rice and sold it to the officers and soldiers, they all talked about it again.

In any case, they walked around the streets of the city, and the appeal was really obvious, and the number of people who came out to sell grain suddenly increased. The power of true example is endless.

Came to the yamen of the state capital, there were already a lot of people watching the excitement here, pointing and saying, Zuo Shaoyang got off the horse with the support of the soldiers, and some soldiers had already carried the bag of grain down, Zuo Shaoyang pretended to grab the corner of the bag, and then sent the grain to the front of the grain collection point.

The people at the grain collection point had already been notified and prepared hot tea, and they were very enthusiastic. After weighing, it was exactly ten buckets, a total of two dollars. took a brand new purse and put it on Zuo Shaoyang's saddle.

After finishing this, Fu and his party sent him back to Guizhi Hall with the plaque, because the deadline for selling grain had passed, and the soldiers on the streets began to search for grain from house to house.

The soldiers who were in charge of propaganda had already changed the content of their preaching to those who voluntarily handed over the grain, and were only whipped twenty times, and the grain was confiscated, but their heads were not beheaded. If they are found, they will be beheaded and beheaded in accordance with the previous statement.

Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, this general is to minimize the impact area, and after noon, he is allowed to turn himself in, and he will be punished lightly, but he will be fined confiscated food and beaten with twenty whips, and only those who stubbornly resist to the end and hide it privately will be executed.

After walking for less than two streets, I saw the first "Diao Min" who was beheaded on the street!

When they crossed this street, the execution had already been completed, there was a large pool of blood on the snow, and a headless old woman was curled up in the snow, and the head was gone. I can't help but shudder.

Further on, there were beheadings in almost every street, some had already been executed, some had not, and when they had passed, they stayed aside and waited for them to pass before they were executed.

As soon as they saw that the officers and soldiers were in earnest, and that there was the inspiration of an advanced figure like Zuo Shaoyang, who had been commended by the general for supporting the army, some people who were lucky enough to carry the grain and surrendered themselves, and the grain was immediately taken away by the officers and soldiers, and all the families who handed over the grain were whipped on the street, except for the children. Everywhere you saw people kneeling on the ground and being whipped. When I went, the drums sounded in unison, and all I heard on the way back were terrible screams and wails, as well as pools of blood and headless corpses.

It seems that there are really people who are not afraid of death and want to get away with it, and this general really does what he says.

When he was about to arrive at the street of Guizhitang, Zuo Shaoyang saw that all five members of the family were killed on the street, and one child was only a few years old. The soldiers were carrying food out of a cellar dug in his lobby. Piled up in the doorway like a hill.

Zuo Shaoyang is even more frightened, the family also dug the cellar and buried the grain in the ground, if he did not get the protection of the general to set up a model, and he was lucky not to transfer the grain to Qingfeng Temple, then he was afraid that he would be dug up like this family, and the whole family would be executed.

Back on the street of Guizhitang, the soldiers searched from both ends to the middle, several families donated food to surrender, and the whole family knelt in the snow and was whipped by the soldiers, and the screams resounded throughout the street. There is also a family that was executed on the street because they were found to have excess food.

Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, this general is too cruel, just search for food, it's a big deal to beat him, how can he kill his head? originally had a good impression of the general, but the tragic scenes he saw along the way made the good feelings in his heart disappear.

Team Fu saw that he was originally arrogant and full of ambition, but he was depressed, so he came up immediately, walked side by side with him, and asked lightly, "What's wrong with Zuo Gongzi?" Haven't you seen these bloody scenes before, and you're a little unaccustomed to them? ”

"Yes," Zuo Shaoyang smiled reluctantly.

"You guys shouldn't be afraid of blood, right?"

"Hehe, it's just blood, it's true that you won't be afraid, but the person who was alive just now, as soon as the knife goes down, the corpse is separated, this ......, I really haven't seen it much, so it's a little ......"

Team Fu nodded: "These Diao people, resisting the general's orders, what is the difference between collaborating with the enemy?" Since it is an enemy, of course you can't be polite! To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself! ”

Zuo Shaoyang didn't say anything.

Team Fu looked at him sideways: "What? Does Zuo Gongzi have any different opinions on Fu's words? ”

Zuo Shaoyang is also a newborn calf, and under extreme depression and even grief and indignation, he blurted out: "I just think that these people did not hand over the surplus food to the officials and soldiers, and did not work together to fight the rebels, it is indeed wrong. However, the so-called law does not blame the public, and along the way, we have seen that there are not 100 but 80 people killed, and we have just started to search, and we don't know how many people will be killed. Especially when the whole family was killed, the parents also returned, the elderly, women and children were killed, and the children of a few years old were headless, and it was really miserable to watch! These are the people in the city, isn't the purpose of our army coming to Hezhou to exterminate the rebels and protect the people? If you continue to kill like this, I am afraid that it will make the people feel cold, and once the people are provoked, the consequences will be unimaginable! ――I'm just a little man, I don't stand tall and can't see far, I'm short-sighted, and I ask for forgiveness if I say something wrong! ”
