When the last of the courage is lost, human dignity is gone. "Spare your life, Master Jun!" The vanquished knelt in a pool of blood of their comrades and kowtowed like garlic, their faces covered with snot and tears mixed with blood and mud, and they looked unusually cowardly.

But the soldiers and the people who rushed out of the city refused to believe the illusion before them, and just half an hour ago, these trembling lambs on their knees were still showing their sharp teeth. Their swords were stained with the blood of the defenders, and their howls sent tremors down the city. The embers of the sins they have wrought outside the city these days are also clearly recorded that have not yet been extinguished.

Dozens of tuntian sites near Suichang were destroyed, thousands of houses were demolished, and tens of thousands of innocent people were killed. The thatched huts on the south bank of the water were all built by the displaced people under the organization of the Tuntian ambassadors, with a shovel of soil and a handful of sweat. After years of displacement, how can this crime be forgiven when they finally see some hope for peace, but the exiles have destroyed all these hopes?

There was no need to mobilize, as soon as the city gate opened, the middle-aged men of the entire city took the initiative to come out to help. They tied the surrenderers one by one with dirty ropes and tied them in long strings. And those who have no strength to help the old and weak pick up sticks and branches from the battlefield and beat the captives with their heads and faces!

"Tell you to rob my livestock, tell you to tear down the door panel of my house......." The white-haired old men and old ladies counted while beating, "Kill a thousand knives, you spit out my little pig!" Spit out my ducks......."

"Those who have lost their conscience have even stolen the door panels, and you have not yet called people alive. You don't call me alive, and I don't call you alive! The flames of hatred spread everywhere, and the more the people thought about it, the more angry they became, and their eyes were red.

"Spare your life, uncle! I was caught too! The captives were ashamed and afraid, holding their heads and crying for mercy. But the people refused to forgive the saboteurs easily, knocking one group to the ground and then carrying sticks to the next. Pick up the ones with clean clothes and armor, and the stronger the body, the more ruthless.

The neater the clothes and armor, the bigger the official, and the bigger the official, the more sins he will create, so he will not be wronged if he is beaten. The wolf and the sheep were converted in an instant, and the rogues were robbing wantonly before, but now with the Boling army behind them, the people naturally will not stop easily.

Listening to the noisy cries in the four fields, Wang Suba suddenly felt a little unspeakably uncomfortable. What those minions did outside Suichang City, he did without hesitation back then. At that time, he felt that he was doing the way for heaven, but now he looked at it from a different angle, but Huo Ran found that the so-called way of heaven was just an excuse for himself to fool himself. Not only did the scholars scoff at this, but the ordinary people didn't believe it at all. What they need is a peaceful life, not someone who will destroy it based on their own likes and dislikes. They may succumb to obscenity, and they may be respectful to you at the time, and if you are down, they will be beaten like a mad dog in water......

"Kill a thousand knives, a good person doesn't do it, but becomes a bandit!"

"Evil, who is lacking great virtue in the ancestors......." Listening to the scolding one after another, Wang Xuba felt that those sticks were all hitting him, and the pain was unforgettable, and he was ashamed of himself. If I hadn't decided too soon......" he gripped the shaft tightly, his knuckles turning white, and he felt the sun above his head brighten brightly, and the smell of blood around him was almost breathless.......

"General Wang, the marshal ordered you to lead the cavalry of your headquarters to stay behind to help Liu Xianling suppress the prisoners and clean up the battlefield. After our foot soldiers arrive, we will go to Wupu together to meet! The herald's voice exploded in his ears, pulling Wang Suba's mind back from the nightmare to reality.

"Alas! The last will obey! Wang Xuba stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat, and took the arrow from the other party's hand in a panic. According to the established plan, the cavalry would follow the rout after the main force of the enemy. The old general Yang Yichen and his troops and horses are blocking the bank of Hutuo River, which will be the last destination of the invaders.

It would be a massacre without suspense. Wang Xuba knew that Li Xu was taking care of himself, and after picking up the arrow, he glanced at the Chinese army through gratitude. He saw the general raise the lance in his hand and nod to himself with a smile!

"The last general obeys!" Wang Xuba also raised the lance in his hand and responded loudly. Ordinary Li Xu didn't say much, but every time he looked at him, every movement was extremely comfortable.

"The general believes me, I'm not a bandit anymore, no!" He told himself with relief. Then, with the assistance of Fang Yannian, he led the three hundred iron cavalry of the headquarters to break away from the brigade and form a formation in the center of the battlefield to prepare for battle. "Spit out my little pig! Spit out my ducks! The scolding around is still the same, and it is no longer embarrassing to listen to people's ears, but it adds a bit of cordiality.

"When I settle down, I'll go back to the Laishui River to raise a few pigs." While vigilantly monitoring the movements of the vanquished, Wang Suba fantasized at the same time. As a reward for a military general of his level, the Boling army allocated 120 acres of water to Wang Xuba by the Laishui River. The fields are now being cleared by his own uncle and a few hired tenants, and will be ready for planting after the beginning of spring next year. The yield of 120 acres of fertile land, except for a few people in the family to chew and wrap, can leave enough surplus grain to feed some livestock. Let the whole day be better, and let the women in the family have a happy smile on their faces every day.

That dream was so close that whoever wanted to destroy it would draw his sword with him. Thinking of these, he felt that there was a warm current in his heart, and the autumn light in front of him suddenly became gorgeous.

It wasn't until the sun set that Guo Xuan and Zhao Ziming divided their troops and led the Zhuojun soldiers and Boling soldiers to rush to the outside of Suichang City. Knowing that the champion general had led the cavalry to chase the north, several generals refused the invitation to enter the city for a while, and decided to lead the brothers over overnight so that they could serve as the main force in the battle against Wupu.

"We can't give all the feats to the cavalry, we always follow the horse's ass and eat dirt!" Guo Xuan, the general guard of Zhuo County, couldn't wait to propose, "After joining up with General Yang, not counting the waste of cleaning up Sun Hemp, it will take at least a whole day for the general to cross the Hutuo River." Let's catch up overnight, just in time to take advantage of the pontoon bridge left by the brothers! ”

"Yes, the general is righteous to us, and we can't disgrace him. Chase through the Hutuo River and let Yang Yichen see what kind of army can be called elite! Liu Yi, who had just been promoted to General Guide, echoed loudly. He, Lu Qin and several other officers who came from the Xiongwu Battalion have always been highly regarded in the Boling Army, and while they are grateful, they always want to do something to repay Li Xu's kindness.

"Since there are not many rogues who have escaped nearby, there is no need to leave too many brothers behind to restore local order!" Zhao Ziming, the military Sima with a stiff face, thought about it, and was also inclined to rush to the next battlefield overnight, "Order the man to add a whole meat meal to the brothers at night, and tell everyone to hurry up after they have eaten their stomachs." If we can block Gao Shida and Liu Badao between Raoyang and Wupu, within two years, no bandits will dare to enter our six counties! ”

"Yes, let them know that one is afraid!" Other generals also agreed. With the might of a hundred battles, they did not think that there were other soldiers and horses in the world who were the opponents of the Boling army. "This group of rogues is not small, in fact, they are a group of inferior goods who can't be on the table, they go home early to pick up their children after picking them up, so they don't have to run outside when winter comes!"

"However, there are only 1,000 Xiangyong left in this county, and there are more than 16,000 prisoners in the school yard outside the city!" Wang Jiude, the commander of Suichang County, who had not had a chance to intervene for a long time, heard that everyone was about to make the decision to pull out the camp overnight, and reminded with a pale face. In the afternoon, as soon as the Boling Elite Cavalry left, a slightly more daring captive tried to stir up trouble! Thanks to Wang Suba, he immediately made a decision and led three hundred iron horsemen to directly hack the leader to death, so that another disaster was avoided.

"Have they let them go, and they won't go?" Zhao Ziming's brows shrugged, and his eyes suddenly released a cold light. After the Boling army treated the Liukou as prisoners, they ordered them to go home to Tuntian after a little lesson. And most of the rogues in the six counties around Boling did live a peaceful life again, and they no longer came out to mess around. There are very few defeated people like Wang Jiude said, after receiving forgiveness, they are not grateful.

"The generals may not know it, but they are all a group of habitual bandits, different from the local refugees who were recruited in the summer!" Wang Jiude, the county commander, secretly glanced at Wang Xuba, and reported with a bitter face. "Our local homeless people were forced to go up the mountain because of the situation. The folks in the township, no matter what, they all read their feelings! He chose as many words as he could, so as not to touch the pain in Wang Suba's heart. But this group of people came all the way to rob, and they let them go home without getting any benefits, and they were naturally unwilling. Look at what they have ruined Sui Chang these days, except for the stones that lay the foundation, they can't move away, and there is no slag left in other things that can be moved! ”

"That's what happened. All the tuntian points outside the city were destroyed by them, and the thatched houses that the general had just ordered the county to build by the people were all burned down by these immoral things! "County Lieutenant Du Da'an is a veteran who retired due to injury, and he hasn't read any books, so he speaks straightforwardly." If we release them without pursuing them, they will definitely come to rob them next time. Anyway, getting a vote is a vote, and if you are caught, you can go home safely if you surrender! ”

"Just let them go, and the people in the county won't agree!" Several master books gossip. Their Zhuangzi were all outside the city, and although most of the supplies were withdrawn to the city in time, the family's losses were still not small.

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Wang Xuba's face looked a little blue. He sympathized with the captives, but could not deny that the accusations of the prefectural order and the prefectural lieutenant were true. At that time, the Great Yan Army under his command was also very ruthless in looting the people, but it was far from the point where even the door panels and window frames had to be demolished. After the war, pots, bowls, scoops, and basins accounted for more than half of the materials collected from the bandit camp, and the greed of the bandits made him, a former rogue, feel ashamed.

"They tried to make trouble again in the afternoon! Thanks to General Wang's presence, nothing happened. If a few generals insist on leaving, they will take these rogues away! "The county commander Wang Jiude arched his hand and waved at several main generals." Otherwise, if they make trouble again, everyone in the county will be wiped out! ”

"That's not easy, let's take the captives to the river after dinner! One by one, send it directly back to your hometown! Lu Qin was furious when he heard this, and he pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and said loudly.

"yes, if you don't give them some color, maybe they'll come back next time!" Guo Xuan responded loudly. He didn't advocate blindly being gentle in the first place, but today he saw that someone had put forward a proposal to kill people before him, and he wished to turn it into reality immediately.

"If you succeed, you will be rich. If you are defeated, you can still get dry food to eat on the way home. There is no such cheap thing in the world. If we really let them go, these white-eyed wolves don't know how many accomplices they can recruit next time! Zhang Fengcheng, Zhou Kang and other masters and soldiers from the imperial examination also suggested. The six counties of Boling are their hometown, and in order to avoid another catastrophe for their homeland, they do not mind taking some extraordinary measures against the enemy.

"But the general has never killed a prisoner!" Seeing that most of the people had begun to respond to the suggestion to kill all the captives, Wang Xuba anxiously asked for help from the military Sima Zhao Ziming. The other party has a very high status in the Boling army, and if he says a word, it is worth Lu Qin and others to say more than a dozen words.

"Zi said, repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue." To Wang Xuba's great disappointment, Zhao Ziming, who had never disobeyed the general's orders, also changed his mind today, and actually said something with a cold face that made him seem to understand or not, but his heart was extremely cold.

"When the general finds out, I'm afraid he will be furious!" Changshi Fang Yannian understood the meaning of Zhao Ziming's words, hesitated, and reminded in a low voice.

"The general doesn't know the news from Luoyang yet!" Zhao Ziming sighed and said quietly. Before crossing the water, he had not returned to Boling for nearly a month, and received an urgent report from Zhang Gongyi, the county guard. After opening the emergency report, all the generals present gasped in shock.

This is also one of the primary reasons why the generals are murderous tonight. The old general Zhang Xutuo, who has always been merciful to the rogue Kou, was killed in battle more than a month ago, and his head was hung on the flagpole of the cottage by the Wagang army, and the official army has not been able to recover it so far.

If the general knew that General Zhang had died at the hands of the rogue, would he have shown mercy to the enemy? Zhao Ziming didn't dare to guarantee what Li Xu would do, but what he had to guarantee was that even if the general poured the elite of the six counties south to take revenge, in a short period of time, no one would dare to spy on his lair.

This is the common home of everyone, and whoever invades it must pay the price.
