The county government had been burned to the ground, Chen Shitang found a house without a roof, ordered someone to bring a stone to sit in the middle, asked his subordinates to escort the three people over, and asked, "Where do you live?" ”

The three pigtailed men were so frightened that they didn't speak. Chen Shitang was furious when he saw this, and raised his horsewhip and threw it on a man's face, and suddenly there was a blood mark, and the man covered his face and screamed in pain.

"You, tell me where you live!"

The beaten man was frightened, and just as he was about to speak, the cheeky man in the middle hurriedly muttered a few words. Chen Shitang scolded: "Damn, I don't understand what I said!" Besides, the bird language plucked your skin! ”

A general next to him smiled: "I guess he is trying to dissuade him, for fear of sitting on his family." ”

"If you don't give a little bit of power, I think we're all soft eggs!" Chen Shitang immediately ordered the sergeant to find a bamboo strip and fix it on the ground, and asked the sergeant to strip off all the clothes of the man in the middle, tie his hands and feet and pull it on the bamboo strip. The screams suddenly rose from the roofless head to the sky, and the people were terrified when they heard it.

The skin and flesh on the man's back were quickly scraped off piece by piece, and the flesh and blood were all over the ground, and people were panicked, and even the white bones were faintly visible. At this time, Chen Shitang ordered it to be flipped over, and let him lie on the bamboo strip and continue to drag, and after a while, the man passed out and did not call for change. I don't know if I'm dead, and even if I don't bleed too much, I won't be able to live for a while.

The room was full of blood, and Chen Shitang turned his face coldly to look at another person without changing his color: "Do you want to taste it?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "The general spares his life, I said I ......."

Chen Shitang said: "There are few places in Langzhou where Gaochang people live, even if you don't say it, Lao Tzu can find it." ”

He then tied up the remaining two, asked them to lead the way, and left Dahua County with the third regiment of his headquarters, without asking for instructions. When the soldiers guarding at the city gate saw that they were their own people, they thought that they had been ordered to go out of the city to do business, and they did not stop them.

At this time, Cheng Qianli at the head of the city saw smoke and dust rising from the north, and a group of cavalry went north, which was from Dahua City, and it must be the Tang army. He turned his head and asked Xue Chongxun, "Did the Duke of Wei send them out?" ”

Xue Chongxun said: "Haven't I been with Manager Cheng all the time, when have you ever given an order?" ”

Cheng Qianli said: "It is definitely not my subordinates, it must be Shanzhou soldiers." He called the general who was guarding the north gate and asked, and sure enough, it was Chen Shitang.

Xue Chongxun thought for a moment, and then said in amazement: "This guy must have gone to Gaochang to vent his anger." ”

Cheng Qianli said angrily: "Chen Shitang is a subordinate of Wei Guogong, how do you control your subordinates?" ”

Xue Chongxun was unhappy, but what Cheng Qianli said was quite reasonable, and my mother didn't ask me for advice, so I used Lao Tzu as an ornament? At that moment, he sent two horsemen of the Flying Tiger Regiment to chase after him, and ordered Chen Shitang to come back and be punished.

But the camp usually dragged its feet, and it was very fast, and it didn't bring any baggage, and it galloped away on light horse, and the herald chased for a long time without catching up. When he caught up with them, Chen Shitang was upright and willing to listen, and only said: "It's not far ahead, wait for me to kill these Gaochang people, and go back to kill them or listen to them." ”

The army marched to a place called Sanyangyuan, and sure enough, there were dozens of tents living on the grassland. Chen Shitang didn't say much, and immediately commanded the cavalry to surround the herd camp. At this time, I saw a few Gaochang people with weapons coming out of the fence, escorting an old man and coming out this way.

One of the generals shouted, "Put down your weapons." ”

The men didn't listen, and walked straight this way. At this time, only a "bang" was heard, and an arrow hit the old man's forehead, and he immediately planted his horse, and several other people shouted loudly, and let go of the horse after a few arrows. After a while, a herd of horses came out of the tents.

Chen Tuanlian immediately ordered: "Resist the officers and soldiers, and there will be no mercy!" Destroy them first! ”

"The last general is willing to be a striker!"

A general wearing bright light armor then led the left and right two brigades to form a battle formation, divided into four columns of lancers and charged up, and instantly smashed those fences into wooden and bamboo fragments, and rushed straight in. The Tang army formed a dense formation, holding spears about two zhang long to launch an attack, where those herdsmen could resist, they were simply crushed at the touch, and they were chopped into meat and mud after a while.

Before those officers and men could finish their fun, they lit a fire with a fire sickle, lit torches and set a fire on the tent, and suddenly the grassland was full of fire, smoke, sheep ran everywhere, and the dogs watching the sheep also barked. The herdsmen had no choice but to run out of their tents, seeing that the belongings they relied on were burning, some women were crying, and some men were trampled by the Tang cavalry, holding the corpses and weeping bitterly, and the camp was in chaos.

Chen Shitang led the troops in, looked back at the troops and said: "Look at those sheep and don't run away, they will be roasted and eaten in a while, and the food will be improved." The soldiers were overjoyed, and hurriedly divided their troops to drive the flock.

Another group of soldiers and horses went to drive the herdsmen to the clearing, and some of them refused to leave with their corpses, so they were cut down with a knife. After the army sees blood, there is nothing to pay attention to, it is really a murder without blinking.

Chen Shitang called for the two criminals to be escorted and asked, "There were originally four of you, which ones are they?" Give it to find out. ”

When those two people saw this group of fierce officers and soldiers killing people without blinking, where were they willing to say? Chen Shitang then pointed at a woman in front of him with a horsewhip and said, "Come on, cut it!" ”

Rushing out of the side, he pulled out the horizontal knife with a "swish", the shining blade drew an arc in the air, and saw a stream of blood coming out, and a human head rolled down on the grass, very sharp, and her body staggered before falling to the ground.

Chen Shitang said: "If I count twice, I will cut one person." ”

Apparently the woman who had been hacked to death was not from the criminal's family, but the two of them remained silent. Chen Shitang counted twice, and the knight in front didn't need to give an order, it was another knife.

Seeing this, the other herdsmen squeezed inside, and those behind were willing to give in, clinging to each other to prevent them from squeezing in. At that moment, an old woman said in a nonsensical Chinese: "I know them." ”

Perhaps the old woman felt that she had betrayed her people and was shameless, so she explained: "These two unscrupulous people are dedicated to evil things, and don't let them trouble everyone anymore." Then she identified five or six young and old.

Chen Shitang saw three old men, two young women, and a boy in his teens. He pointed at a young woman with a horsewhip and said, "What does she have to do with these two?" ”

The old woman who identified the person said, "It's his sister." ”

Chen Shitang said "ha", as if he was very interested, and looked back at the army: "Come and don't be rude, whoever wants her will be rewarded to play." ”

The army was silent, and no one wanted to ...... Most of the border troops have families and rooms in the local area, and there is no pressure to kill people when they are ordered, but they don't like to hear about this kind of thing back home.

At this time, the two officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Regiment who came with him said angrily: "Chen Tuanlian, Xue Lang has just exempted you from the death penalty, and it is impossible for you to escape the death penalty if you act like this!" If you have the gas to go out of the country and go to the enemy territory, these attached Gaochang people have returned to the Tang Dynasty, what is the point of you tossing them? ”

Chen Shitang ignored it, still wanted to do evil things, and ordered the sergeant to take an awl and roast it dark red on the fire, and poked it at the arm of the Gaochang man.

He also led his troops to surround the families of the two criminals in the middle, raised his horse whip and beat the others all over their bodies, and only after they were exhausted did they order them to be killed.

This killed the whole family, and his subordinates asked him if he wanted to withdraw the army, Chen Shitang looked at the many corpses on the ground, and his heart was broken, and he simply ordered: "All of them will be executed!" ”

When the army received the order, they surrounded and hacked to death all the herdsmen, men, women, and children, and the corpses of the horses that had been slaughtered by the cavalry were moved together and piled up into a small knoll. Chen Shitang was blown by the cool breeze at this time, and when he found out that he had done the evil thing, he couldn't help but turn pale, so he ordered the troops to bring firewood and burn the corpse, wanting to destroy the traces.

The general asked, "Can the lord spare us when he goes back?" ”

"It's all my order, you're all right......" Chen Shitang said.

The subordinate general said in a low voice: "Actually, these herdsmen are not of my clan, and if they die, they will die, and the lord should not treat you with capital crimes...... But if you don't say hello before you go out, don't you just don't have the lord in your eyes, this is the strictest zhòng. I told you to say something, but you didn't listen, how can you excuse yourself now? ”

Chen Shitang said depressedly: "If you say it, can you still come out?" ”G
