PS: Soldiers, beasts are also, if you enter the Sheng, you will be lucky, and if you are off the chain, you will be fierce.

Volume II, Chapter 39

Guo Xu gave up the tent to Zhu Lingshi and ran to Xu Zhihao by himself. The hussars will go south with Liu Yizhen tomorrow morning, and Xu Zhihao is busy stir-frying in the camp at the moment. Although Guo Xu stayed behind, as an old chief, he should have stepped forward to restrain the troops at this moment, but he really couldn't face his brothers when they suddenly separated, so he simply hid aside. He lay in Xu Zhihao's tent for a long time, but turned over like a pancake, and finally simply got up, took two personal soldiers, and went out of the camp to walk around the market.

The Jin army's raids did not subside because of the night, but became more turbulent because of the imminent return date. After the first wave of soldiers returned to the camp, they opened their burdens to show off, looking forward to returning home to honor their parents and give them to their wives, and such a low-hanging fruit method stimulated the saliva of the latter wave of soldiers. The daytime looting was caught off guard, and the goods on the surface of the people's homes were swept away; By the time the next wave of soldiers poured into the streets, the people had already hidden all the valuable things, which led the soldiers to dig three feet into the ground and be determined; During the day it is bloodletting, and at night it is for suctioning the marrow; a comb during the day and a grate at night; During the day, the people were ruined, and at night the people went bankrupt, and the result was that the collision between the army and the people became more intense. The local people were originally dissatisfied with the fact that the Beifu soldiers did not continue the Northern Expedition after they conquered Chang'an, but their feelings were still there, and they could still get along peacefully, so they would not regard them as robbers. Tonight, wherever the soldiers went, curses and curses such as "robbers", "bandits", "beasts", "", and "worse than Hu people" sounded. During the day, there are only pushing and tearing, and at night there are knives, guns and clubs. The soldier grabbed the red eye and ran into the tyrannical owner. Inevitably, they will draw their knives against each other, and at first it will be nothing more than intimidation. Later, blood began to see. Someone died, and the perpetrators were terrified. hidden, but later found that no one cared at all, so the next step was even more arrogant. The dead people carried the corpses to the Assassin's Mansion to complain, only to find that it was already a den of thieves, and the stolen goods inside and outside the courtyard gate were piled up. Lord Assassin Shi didn't have time to see them, and the guards were not much more polite than the group of bandits outside. Since the robbery has been menacing, the robbery is inevitable. The top Hua Dan in the brothel has been taken into Liu Yizhen's pocket, and the beautiful and good women who have long been famous in Chang'an have also been brought to the house, and the rest of the girls. As long as it wasn't hidden in the brains of their parents, they were all plagued by bloodshot soldiers tonight, and their helpless and mournful cries were drowned out in the cruel laughter of the soldiers. As far as the Chang'an Jin army was concerned, the city had not yet fallen into the hands of the enemy; For the people of Chang'an, the original defenders had become robbers, and they had already suffered a military disaster before the city changed hands.

Guo Xu walked through this chaotic torrent, his eyes on fire. The only consolation is that the hussars are tightly organized, and no one has done such a hurtful thing. He swore secretly. If one of the hussars attacked the common people, he would smash his head into a rotten persimmon with a mallet. But at the moment, he could do nothing but walk silently through this mess. Walk past a shop facing the street. I couldn't tell what the shop was selling, because it had been looted to the ground. Under the large lantern in front of the door, the shopkeeper covered his head with a handkerchief. Sit on the ground in a daze. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, he looked up. stared at Guo Xu hatefully. Guo Xu didn't dare to look at him, so he lowered his head and walked over. I faintly heard a voice behind me: "A beast who eats people and doesn't do anything!" ”

When I walked to the mouth of an alley, I saw a big willow tree swaying in the night, and I felt that this place was very familiar, and I remembered that the house of the male maternity lady Granny Jin was in the alley. The Jin family is wealthy, and the whole city knows it, so tonight must not be immune to disaster. Beat the horse into the alley, and sure enough, he found that the gate of the Jin family was open, and there was a commotion inside.

Granny Jin's house is magnificent, and the golden plaque at the door alone frightened many soldiers during the day, they didn't know who lived inside, for fear of harassing the private house of which general of the army, so several groups of people were discouraged. But thieves also have a way, and if you have a heart, you can do it, and a certain soldier inquired more, and knew that there was a senior midwife who was sleeping on a golden bed. Granny Jin gave birth to dignitaries, and the child weighed a few catties, so she received a few taels of gold. Now that the mystery is gone, breaking into the door is a matter of course. Pity the thousands of family fortunes he had accumulated for decades, which were looted by the wolf-like soldiers and bandits: gold, silver and jade, horses and vehicles, fine ceramics, silk and silk, clothes for men and women, bedding and curtains, pots and pans, live chickens and ducks, bacon and dried food, as long as the soldiers could find a purpose, they were all swept away, only some calligraphy and paintings, and the soldiers did not feel that they were rare, or trampled under their feet, or slanted on the walls, or shattered in the mud and dust. The soldiers who returned ahead took out the fine utensils and tried on the luxurious clothes, so that their comrades salivated and sniffed at the smell. This time it was useless to sweep the floor, so I dug three feet into the ground to find it, but the golden jar was not dug up, but I found a dark room and dragged out the granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law who were hiding in it. The soldier saw that Granny Jin was going crazy, so he told him the conditions, if he was willing to take out the inventory, he would let his grandchildren go, if not, the brothers would not be able to make a fortune tonight, and it would be good to enjoy a round of good fortune.

It was at this time that Guo Xu entered the courtyard. When she followed the cry to find Granny Jin, the latter had already been hanged, her hair was disheveled, her face was covered with dust, and the jade pendant on her clothes belt had long since disappeared. The two girls were torn apart and pressed to the ground, and their bodies were stripped of until their underwear was left.

The first one to try it was a Wu Chang, his pants had faded to his feet and neck, so Guo Xu's high-raised whip just fell on his already erect guy, although it was not a palace punishment, it was already quite like castration, making him cover his body with a scream, shrink into a ball and roll on the ground. This is the soldier in Fu Hongzhi's camp, who had seen Guo Xu's majesty during the battle of Chishui, and at this moment, when he saw him breaking in angrily, he knew that he could not go against it, but dragged the Wu Chang, who was not the first to lose the artifact, and fled with a sigh of smoke.

Guo Xu put down Granny Jin and apologized to him repeatedly. Take the soldiers out of the house and let the two girls change their clothes. Granny Jin came to her senses at this time, recognized Guo Xu, hugged him and cried loudly. All that was left of his house was the empty walls at the moment. The soldier didn't know what to think, so he dismantled the bed and took it away, and it was hard to guess whether he wanted to assemble a huge bed after returning home for the sake of burning wood on the road. Guo Xu estimated that there would be soldiers to harass him tonight. After thinking about it, I could only take the family to the barracks first and spend the night. The evil stars are gone tomorrow morning, and they will all stop as soon as they are gone. He helped Granny Kim onto his horse. Walk to the side with the reins on your own. As she walked, Granny Kim cried again:

"I want to be Jin Chucai, a lifetime of delivery, countless living people, and the accumulation of boundless merits, just want to be peaceful and smooth, who would have expected that when I am old, I will suffer this catastrophe, affecting innocent children and grandchildren. Bodhisattva, what sin do you say I have done in my last life! ”

The family cried.

Guo Xu's face looked like he had been burned with a soldering iron. Although Granny Jin did not rebuke Jin Jun, such a good person was abused by Beifu soldiers, but it was an accusation that was worse than a slap. He knew that for more than a year, waves of infighting had shaken the morale of the army and slackened military discipline, but he never expected that the Beifu soldiers, who had been hanging the people for all these years, would suddenly collapse into a piece of garbage that harmed the people, and he drove away the dream of Yidi and Sangzi Chongguang. He also fell from the clouds into the mire, trampled dirty and broken by the boots of the ruffians.

Suddenly a spirit.

Who is immune to this chaos?

Where the rebels arrive, it is difficult to distinguish the turbidity!

That little courtyard of his. How can you stop such a rampant riot?

asked the soldiers to escort Granny Jin back, asked for a horse himself, and galloped in the direction of his home.

There are rebels everywhere. There were torches everywhere, cries and shouts everywhere. A huge Chang'an, it seems to be the most difficult to find tonight. It's a house without noise.

The closer I got to my street, the more panicked my heart became, filled with all kinds of terrible scenes that I didn't dare to think about and didn't consciously think about.

But he saw a paradise.

The side streets were quiet and showed no signs of being harassed.

Only then did he find out that a team of soldiers had set up a card here, and the leader of the team was actually a building owner in the Assassin's Mansion. In the chaos, Mao Xiuzhi couldn't hold down the group, so he immediately sent people to the homes of Chen Song, Guo Xu and other generals who had families in Chang'an, holding Sima Ling flags, strictly prohibiting officers and soldiers from breaking in, and violators could be executed on the spot. He has framed Chen and Guo, and he has gradually become guilty recently, and this move can be regarded as self-redemption.

Guo Xu secretly thanked Mao Xiuzhi for his conscience, comforted the brothers a few words, and hurried to knock on the door. Unexpectedly, it was not Qingyu who answered the door, but Xiaoqiao herself.

Qingyu went out to the market in the afternoon and hasn't come back yet.

Xiao Qiao once wanted to hold the child to find it, but the soldiers at the corner of the street advised her not to take risks in this situation. She sat restlessly at home and waited, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, the more she was afraid, the more she thought about it, and she almost collapsed.

Guo Xu settled down and went out to get on the horse. He first had to go to the Assassin's Mansion to find someone. If Qingyu was in the market, then even if she encountered chaos and was humiliated, as long as she didn't find a short-term view, she should have been home for so long.

The girls were all confined in several large houses, and the captain of the guard knew Guo Xu and said that I was not not not giving Guo Jun deputy face, but that there was an order to assassinate Shi You, and no one was allowed to step into the house without his permission. Guo Xu said I don't have to go in, but can you go in and ask if there is a girl named Qingyu inside.

The lieutenant asked around, and came out and said that there was really no such person.

Guo Xu's heart sank.

He is alone, and finding a girl in the chaotic Chang'an City is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and went straight to Liu Yizhen's bedroom. He pushed away the two pro-soldiers, and the moment he slammed open the door and entered, a girl screamed and woke up Liu Yizhen, who was sleeping next to her.

Guo Xu knelt under the bed on one knee:

"Please give an order to the Assassin Shi to hurry up and restrain the three armies and stop the looting!"

Liu Yizhen sat up wrapped in the quilt, and his two bare legs hung on the edge of the bed:

"Is there really a raid?"

Guo Xu smelled the smell of fat powder all over the room, and held back his anger:

"Not only is it true, but the whole city has suffered a great sin!"

Liu Yizhen covered his mouth and yawned:

"I'm afraid it's not as terrible as you say, that is, the brothers just have an autumn breeze before leaving."

Guo Xu said Lord Assassin Shi, please think about it carefully, a part of our evacuation of Chang'an does not mean that we have to give up Chang'an, and Song Gong did not give such an order. The people haven't left yet, so they have completely offended the people of Chang'an, how will General Zhu Lingshi defend the city next? Even if you don't care about him and just lift your legs and leave, but the people you want to take away will be tossed all night, and tomorrow they will be sluggish and tired, and they will carry so much floating wealth, in case there is a battle, how can such an army meet the enemy?

Liu Yizhen really doesn't care about Zhu Lingshi's life or death in his bones. But when he heard that such an indulgent subordinate might trap himself, he suddenly became nervous.

"So what are you going to do? Such a big city. With so many soldiers let out, they can't hold it for a while? ”

Guo Xu said that as long as Lord Assassin Shi authorized. There will be a way in the end.

Liu Yizhen said that if I give you the authorization, how long will you be able to suppress the riots.

Guo Xu said that as long as I am really given the right to dispose of it, I will ensure that the wind and waves will be calm for an hour.

Liu Yizhen thought about it and said that then I will give you my order flag.

Guo Xu came out with the order flag, immediately galloped back to the camp, invited Zhu Lingshi, and explained the plan to him. The latter is a commanding general, who has always been vigorous and resolute, and immediately mobilized two armies, flying cavalry and hussars. Divided into four battalions, each responsible for a direction of east, west, north and south; Each battalion was divided into ten teams and blocked the exits of each street; Messengers were sent to sound gongs along the streets, and the soldiers were ordered to return to the camp within half an hour. Chen Song, Guo Xu, Mao Xiuzhi, and Kuai En were in charge of the Quartet, and he himself sat in the center of Chang'an City.

At this time, when the time was near, the adultery and plunder had reached their climax, and more than 100 people had died under the swords of the rebels. You can't stop being a soldier. When they heard the sound of gongs all over the streets, and the cavalry sent orders back and forth saying that they would cut off their heads if they did not stop, the timid ones hurriedly slipped back, and the bold ones felt that the law did not blame the people. Those who have enough do not want to put down the fat in their mouths, and those who have not fished feel that it is really unfair, in short, half an hour is up. Less than thirty percent of the soldiers actually returned to the battalion.

Zhu Lingshi was unrelenting, and immediately ordered to drive away. The cavalry formed two columns, armed with wooden sticks. When he saw the soldiers, he drank them and told them to return to the camp. If you don't obey, you will knock on your head and cover your face. As soon as the stragglers saw this formation, they knew that Shangfeng was really moving, and they slipped into the camp one after another. In a moment, the street was empty. But there are still many people in the house, unaware that the outside has begun to clear. Zhu Lingshi ordered the cavalry to dismount and enter the house to drive people out. The officers and men of the hussars and flying cavalry were tightly restrained, and nothing was achieved in this riot, but they still had to come out in the middle of the night to do hard work, and they were angry in their hearts, and they were ruthless when they attacked. But listening to the voices of crying fathers and mothers, the scattered divisions were like broken flowers and willows, and the people scattered in the people's homes were quickly emptied. When an hour came, Zhu Lingshi asked people to pull the net one last time, and as a result, about a dozen soldiers fell drunk in a hotel because they were drinking while grabbing, and they were dragged to Zhu Lingshi's horse at this time, and their heads fell off in a daze.

Chang'an suddenly cleared up.

Everyone knows that the purge came too late and was no longer enough to win back the hearts and minds of the people.

Zhu Lingshi looked at the dozen or so headless corpses on the ground, and his grief was irrepressible. The army is actually a beast of prey, harmless if chained, and evil once it breaks free from its cage. This iron chain, of course, is military discipline, but what is behind military discipline? It is the cultivation and will of the commander-in-chief. If the commander takes the lead in looting the people's wealth and robbing the people's daughters, even if he has the military discipline made of steel, he will still not be able to restrain the minions of the fierce beast of the army. In such a situation, the three armies will not only work up and down, but will also despise the commander-in-chief in their bones, and will disobey the commander-in-chief, until the commander-in-chief is overthrown. Without him, the awe in my heart is gone, and anything can be done. These dozen brothers, in fact, are all veterans who fought all the way from Jiangdong to Guanzhong, all of them have scars, and all of them have military exploits, but now they are in such a shameful place, with a disgraceful charge. And their commander, at the moment, is lying in the arms of a beautiful girl, and inside and outside the palace gate is a carload of ill-gotten gains.

In this world, there is really no such thing as fairness.

As for himself, he will have to wipe Liu Yizhen's ass from tomorrow. The people of the city were plundered, their wives and daughters were raped, and some people lost their lives, which was like a sea of hatred, enough to drown any mighty army. It stands to reason that it is not difficult to find out who is the murderer and who raped the people's daughter, and if all these murderers can be brought to justice, maybe they can eliminate a little resentment, but now there is no time, and there can be no more trouble. He couldn't hold this city anymore, and when he finished covering the retreat, he had to think about how he could get out.

At the beginning of the operation, Guo Xu had already greeted the officers and soldiers of the hussars and flying horses, told them about Qingyu's appearance and clothing, and asked them to pay attention to it. At this time, the brothers talked back and forth, saying that they had not seen the girl.

Guo Xu was anxious. In a few hours, he will lead the team out of the city to fight, and he has no time to find someone, and he doesn't know what happened to this girl who has been raising her sister. Just as he was about to look for it again, a soldier came and said that he had found a female corpse in the Liuhou Temple and asked Guo Xu to see if it was the person he was looking for. After hearing this, Guo Xu wanted to get on the horse immediately, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't get on the stirrups. Even in a vicious battle with thousands of dead and wounded on both sides, he never did this. The soldiers helped him onto the horse, rode close to him on the left and right, and arrived at the Liuhou Temple in a blink of an eye.

In the woods behind the shrine, a girl hung from a tree, her long hair scattered, but it could only cover her face, not enough to hide her naked body. Beneath his body was a stake of wood, which had fallen to the ground at this point. The shoes are missing, and there are traces of incontinence on the ground.

Not far on the ground was a blanket with jars, bowls, gnawed bones, vomit next to it, punctures from knives stuck in the blanket, and shredded women's clothes.

More than one person drank here to share the spoils.

There was more than one person who was violent against the girl.

Some of the soldiers hugged the girl's body, and some lifted up a stake to cut the rope, which was a clothing belt to be exact.

Guo Xu suppressed the wild beat in his heart and walked over slowly. At this time, the girl had been laid flat on the ground, and the long hair that had covered her face was scattered.

Guo Xu only glanced at her face and fell down. (To be continued......)
