Just two hundred meters away from the tribe's military defense, Lin Feng and his group didn't seem to notice these subtle changes at the city gate at all, and they gathered around to eat and chat very easily.

Lin Feng took a bowl of porridge, squatted on the ground silently, and ate with Peng Shihui and Wu Hong, who were silent. It wasn't until he was about to get up after eating that Lin Feng said a word: "As long as the two of you surrender to my Tang Dynasty, how many soldiers can you gather, I dare to be a big official for you!" ”

Lin Feng had chatted with Yang Di before, and learned that there were at least 8,000 guards before Tanzhou City was broken. Even if you remove those who were allowed to run away and those who died in battle, at least there should be thousands of original Tanzhou soldiers who escaped the limelight after the city was broken and scattered and hid in Tanzhou City.

Peng Shihui and Wu Hong, who had been silent, glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads again. Yang Yi, who had long been extremely impatient by the silence of the two people, didn't care what they thought, and commanded the two guards to bring over a carriage that had just been searched, carried the two people to the carriage and lay on their stomachs, reported to Lin Fengyi, and led his brother to take a taxi to find and collect the rout.

Lin Feng sent the three generals away, and found dozens of "righteous soldiers" such as Zhang Longxing, and presented each of them with a knife and twenty yuan as Xie Yi who drew a knife to help, and then patted his chest and said: "We are comrades-in-arms who have been on the battlefield together, naturally we are all brothers, as long as Lin stays in Chu State, you can come to me at any time for anything, Lin Mou swept the stairs to greet you!" This promise is as effective as if Lin returns to Datang! ”

Zhang Longxing and the others were naturally grateful, and left after thanking them repeatedly.

Lin Feng looked around left and right, and found that everyone had finished eating, and said loudly: "Brothers, work harder, clean up the stump of the coiling dragon!" ”

The brothers agreed and got up to fight.

At this time, the last few tribal soldiers who had been keeping an eye on the movement in this direction were like frightened rabbits, and immediately jumped up, retreating sharply while lighting the pyre in front of them. By the breeze of the autumn morning, the fire spread rapidly, surrounding the entire city gate.

Lin Feng commanded his brothers to rush up to the castle tower from the slope ladders on both sides, and they all rushed to the battlements and shot arrows at the city.

The enemy had long since run away, leaving only a small boat on the east bank of the Xiang River, ready to pick up the brothers who had been left behind. Outside the range of the arrow, the last few tribal soldiers hurriedly boarded the boat and rowed quickly to the opposite bank.

On the other side of the Xiangjiang River, the makeshift tribal camp had become a mess, and soldiers were constantly rushing out of the camp with large bags of belongings and hurriedly merging into the ranks fleeing north.

Lin Feng called out to Ge Chang and whispered a few words, Ge Chang immediately called out more than one hundred and seventy excited guards and fifty elites of the Wuchang Army, everyone shouted loudly, ran along the city wall to the other city gates, and began their easy pursuit journey.

The big thing was finally over, Lin Feng couldn't help but stretch his waist, turned around, faced the brothers who also looked relaxed, and said loudly: "Copper head, iron waist, our overall action of being besieged and pursuing this time is just one leopard tail!" Hold on a little longer and help me get an easier job! ”

Subsequently, Lin Feng explained their respective tasks to the forty-one cavalry and one hundred and forty Wuchang elites on the scene. Everyone's first reaction was surprise, but they all smiled and took the order.

Lin Feng looked at the bloodshot eyes of several children, patted them lovingly, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the Chu Wang's Mansion to make up for a morning sleep, and then watch the excitement together after lunch!" ”

Just when Lin Feng and a few children were sleeping soundly in the empty Chu Palace, there was another lively scene in Tanzhou City.

For the residents of Tanzhou City, the past day and night were very difficult for more than a dozen hours.

Langzhou soldiers are already worried about the city, many smart people are afraid that Tanzhou City will be besieged for a long time, and they have rushed to buy food and food from their families in advance, but early in the morning of the sixth day, they heard the sound of killing on the streets, and everyone is speculating that Tanzhou City is broken, so they naturally hide at home, praying that the rebels will not look at their homes; As a result, from the morning of the 6th until noon, although the shouting outside was chaotic and noisy, it was calm. After noon, there were already rebels running around, but they were always small;

In the early morning of the 7th, when many families thought that they had survived the city safely, the late catastrophe began, and the retreating tribal soldiers began to rob and burn fiercely, and many families were suddenly killed in their sleep, and many families in Tanzhou City suddenly fell into a nightmare.

However, this period did not last long, and another group of soldiers began to sweep and loot, and the city was immediately much quieter.

When many people thought that the matter was over, someone knocked on the door again and passed a strange order: everyone went to the gate of the Chu Wang's Mansion to participate in the public trial meeting from time to time (one o'clock at noon), and the Tang army would openly try the murderers who participated in the robbery.

That's new! A public trial of the murderer? What is the Tang Army? What about the Langzhou army?

After that, the whole city of Tanzhou was quiet again, and many bold people began to go to the street to investigate the situation, and found that there were only soldiers running around occasionally on the street, and when they saw them, they didn't pay attention to them at all, and people became even more bold, and began to go to the street in twos and threes to inquire about each other's situation.

The more everyone discussed, the thicker the fog in their brains. It was driven by this curiosity that after noon (eleven o'clock), some people had already rushed to the Tiance Mansion one after another, and found that a simple high platform was being built here. A row of tall wooden poles were erected on each side of the stage; In front of the stage, rows of heavily armed soldiers guarded the kneeling kidnapping captives, and from time to time, the captives were escorted here and knelt down one by one.

"I know him, the one who killed my parents!" A man suddenly shouted and pounced on a Tujia captive who had just been escorted.

However, the man was immediately stopped by a soldier in a black military uniform next to him, who smiled and said to him: "Please don't worry, you can take revenge on the spot later!" ”

The man burst into tears, cursed bitterly, and his eyes fixed on the murderer. The arrogant murderer was wounded and looked depressed, and he didn't dare to look up at the man at all.

As time passed, on the right side of the platform, rows of soldiers began to gather, all of whom were wearing the brown uniforms of the Tanzhou Army.

At this time, more and more prisoners were escorted to the stage, and naturally more prisoners were recognized, and the families of the victims with excited expressions scolded angrily across the blockade line of the soldiers.

However, only about 200 prisoners were taken to the front of the stage. This was also something that Lin Feng felt strange in the background just now, but after listening to Ma Jiwei's explanation, Lin Feng smiled.

It turned out that when these soldiers went to various places in the city to extract the captured tribal soldiers and the Tanzhou army and Tanzhou villains who had robbed in the chaos, they found that many of the captives who had been tied up there had either been hacked to death or beaten to death, and of course, all the people who appeared at the scene swore in unison that they had not seen the perpetrators.

Before the time came, when the energetic Lin Feng stood on the high platform in a Xingyun military uniform, the scene immediately fell silent.

In the crowd, an old man in cloth raised his head and stared closely at Lin Feng on the stage, who was Tuoba Heng, who had once represented Tanzhou as an envoy to Yiyang City.

Behind Tuoba Heng, several young men in cloth clothes dispersed, pretending to inadvertently convey an astonishing message to the people around him.
