A few miles away.

According to the prior deployment, Guan Shirong led thirty or fifty people and rushed to the front; Wenhua Kingdom, who responded to the fierce battle inside the city gate, firmly held the city gate without losing it.

Deng She led Brother Huang Donkey, Luo Guoqi, and Monk Li, and the brigade was behind, shouting: "Ah Weiwei! "Tong Guan Shirong made a mistake, and it was like chopping melons and vegetables, crashing into the Yuan army and entering the city.

And Chen Hu, leading a team of 100 people, went around the city. Military order: There is a large group of Yuan troops to disperse, gently let go; All the rich families who fled were stopped.

The silent city, as Deng She and the others entered the city, became frightened. Residents who woke up in their sleep immediately guessed what was happening. Smoke and dust are billowing and chickens are flying and dogs are barking; Children cry, adults are afraid. There was a disturbance, and the lights came on and out. The small family locked the door tightly and watched with a bold probe. The rich and honest jumped up in embarrassment, drove the slaves and the maids, cleaned up the softness, and hid the gold and silver; Clever to catch up with the banner of the people.

At the gate of the city, Deng She caught Wen Huaguo, Zhao Guo, and He Guangxiu. The three of them guided the brigade, and the troops were divided into three routes, all the way to the command of Deng She, and went straight to the garrison camp of the city; All the way, Brother Huang Donkey led the team to the official office of the Lu Mansion, and under the guidance of He Guangxiu, he arrested the officials at home; Along the way, Zhao Guo led the army, exterminated the defenders of another city gate, and captured granaries, warehouses and other places.

Yongping has two city gates, one in the east and one in the west.

The camp was between the two gates, and was alarmed by the commotion in the city. Two teams of infantry, just out of the camp gate. When Wenhuaguo's charge came, he was used to using a sledgehammer, and the saber did not fit in his hand, so he simply discarded it, snatched an iron bone of the Yuan army, and let go of the sweep. He has enough strength, people are tall and horses are big, and everywhere in the Yuan army is turned on his back, and a ghost cries and wolves.

Break down these two teams of Yuan troops in three or two, leaving one team to be killed. The rest, rushed into the camp. The opponent was unprepared, the cavalry did not mount, and many foot soldiers were unarmed.

Half an hour into the battle, it was over. Of the 5,000 Yuan army, more than 1,000 people died, and the rest surrendered. Deng She left Luo Guoqi, along with his headquarters, and gave him two hundred men to guard the prisoners.

This is the handsome brigade and returns to the official office. The east and west gates came one after another: the city gates have fallen into my hands, and none of the tartars guarding the gate have escaped.

The next urgent task was to pacify the city and calm the people. Deng She selected a few old brothers, each with a team of ten people, to gallop back and forth, and read aloud the notice of Anmin pre-drafted by Luo Guoqi. The city gradually became quiet, and there were occasional sounds of weapons fighting, screaming, and begging for mercy, and it was the patrolling soldiers who encountered the traitors who had slipped through the net or taken the opportunity to cause trouble.

Fortunately, Yongping City is not big, there are not many people in Dengshe, and they all act collectively, so there is no disturbance to the people.

The moon sank to the east, sitting in the official hall, Deng She recalled the siege of the city, and couldn't believe that it was so smooth. He couldn't help but be afraid, mixed with joy, relaxation, and thinking about what to do to attack the city, and for a while, he had mixed feelings.

The torches were lit and the lights were bright. The generals in the hall, the red scarves in the hall, the smoke of gunpowder, all smiling, and happy. Looking at Deng She's eyes, he couldn't help but have respect, and no one looked down on him because of his age.

There was a commotion, from far to near.

Brother Huang Donkey caught most of the officials of the road government, and ran away with two or three low-end officials, which was expected to be mixed into the people's houses, and they would be searched in detail until the day. The first one, Yongping Lu Daru Huachi, the highest official position, hung his head down, wore a small coat, the cold wind blew, and he shivered all over.

Brother Huang Donkey ordered these twenty or thirty yuan officials to stand in line. Seeing that Deng Shejia in the hall was still bloody, the swords and swords on both sides were shining, and there was a murderous aura, and his timid legs were weak, and he knelt down in a large area.

"Deng Baihu, what should the dog officials do?" He didn't want to call it an adult, he disdained to call Brother She, and he couldn't call it by name, so Brother Huang Donkey made a compromise and called Deng She's official position.

Although Daru Huachi is back, he has a Mongolian hairstyle. The top of the head is shaved, revealing a bright and shaky scalp; Two small pigtails, wilted and hanging behind the ears. Deng She waved his hand in disgust: "Pull it down, cut it." The head is kept, and the suspension rod is displayed to the public. ”

Daru Huachi did not understand Chinese, and guessed the meaning from Deng She's expressions and movements, his nose was runny and paralyzed, and he shouted some Mongolian that he did not understand. A couple of red scarves dragged him down the hall.

The other officials, except for two or three people, all trembled and fell to their knees. Hula again, lying on his stomach in a large area, wailing and begging for mercy. Deng She looked up and down at the two or three people who were standing proudly, stood up, and arched his hand: "Excuse me, which one is Manager Liu?" ”

He heard He Guangxiu praise the manager of Yongping Road for being called the blue sky, and he expected that he must be a person with backbone,—— the name of the manager was also learned from He Guangxiu. Sure enough, one of them snorted and said, "This official is." ”

Deng Sheer ordered a chair to be brought and invited to sit down with him and two other people who were standing without kneeling. None of the three paid any attention to him. On the left, a man with a long white beard, dressed as a Confucian priest, shouted: "If you want to kill, you have to cut it, come quickly." Sitting on your red scarf thief's chair, you have stained the old man's buttocks in vain! ”

"Bold, get on your knees!" The red scarf on one side shouted.

The man scolded, "My knees are like iron, how can I kneel down to a thief!" ”

Wen Huaguo, who was sitting on the side, was furious, jumped over, stretched out his palm, and started work left and right. After two slaps, the man's nose bleeded, he couldn't stand it, he fell to the ground, his mouth was swollen, he whimpered, and his mouth cursed incessantly.

Deng She waved his hand and didn't ask him about his official position: "Give him a good time." ”

The man was dragged out, and soon, there was no sound. Outside the hall, Daru Huachi, who was tied to the pillar, screamed louder and louder.

The person on the right of Mr. Liu, his face turned white, peeked at Deng She, and then at Mr. Liu. Deng She saw it in his eyes, but he ignored it, and only said to Mr. Liu gently: "I have heard the name of the chief manager for a long time, and the people of Yongping are all praised by Qingtian." After thinking about it often, I finally got what I wanted today. ”

Manager Liu sighed: "Although you have a good name, if you fall into the ears of thieves such as you, you will not be defiled." ”

Deng She was not angry, stopped the angry shouting and intimidation of Wen Huaguo and others, and said: "You and I are both Han people, and now my lord is King Xiaoming of the Song Dynasty and a descendant of Huizong, and he should be the lord of China." You have read the sage's article, and the truth of Huayi's distinction must be very clear. Why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, embrace my orthodoxy, and don't be in vain to be a saint protégé and become a famous believer. ”

Manager Liu sneered: "Milky children, also talk about Huayi." Amusing. Do you know that using Chinese law to govern Chinese affairs is China. He slowed down his voice, "Before the founding of the Song and Jin dynasties, the Great Yuan Dynasty had a country, and there was a country instead of the Song and Jin. If it is orthodox, Dayuan is orthodox. He in turn advised Deng She, "You are still young, and you have made a mistake for a while, so it is not too late to turn back." As long as you are willing to submit, I will play the court, and I will be able to pardon you without sin. ”

Citing the example of Zhang Shicheng's surrender the year before last, he said: "I think you must also know that Zhang Shicheng in the south of the Yangtze River is thousands of miles away and millions of people, and he still knows where the destiny of heaven is, and once he will surrender to my great yuan." Today, he is tolerant, not without sin, but with the official of the ether captain. I listen to you and know a lot about poetry and books, so why not follow it? When we are employing people, the talents of civil and military affairs will be of great use. ”

Deng She listened, and was silent.

Mr. Liu's Huayi distinction and orthodoxy are very popular in the Yuan generation. They believe that the concepts of race and country are far less than cultural identity. As long as Meng Yuan was willing to rule the country with China, they would support the regime. They believe that the culture of Huayi is actually the same, and Hua can degenerate into Yi, and Yi can evolve into Hua.

Is it inclusive, or hateful.

Dunshe didn't know what to say. He believes that these ancients cannot be required by the mature concept of nation and state that has only been formed in China in modern times. But whether it is tolerant or hateful, in the face of the trampling of Meng Yuan Tieqi by his compatriots, instead of chasing him, he is proud of it. This, damn it.

Deng She didn't want to talk to people like Mr. Liu anymore, so he waved his hand for the third time: "Pull it down and leave a whole corpse." stripped naked, hung on the city tower, and wrote the four characters of non-my race on his body. Set an example. ”

The person on Mr. Liu's right finally couldn't stand and fell to the ground softly.

Deng She just didn't see it, and one by one, the people who wore Mongolian hairstyles and Mongolian clothes among the officials, regardless of whether they were Mongolian or Han, were dragged out and killed on the spot. After it was over, he no longer interrogated other officials, and handed them all over to Chen Hu, who had just returned to the city.

Chen Hu didn't leave, and asked, "I heard that more than 3,000 Tatars were captured, my lord, what are your plans?" In front of everyone, he always called Deng She an adult.

"Collect your weapons and confine them in the camp. I have asked Luo Baihu to guard it. ”

"There are only hundreds of people in our department, and it is a fluke to get Yongping City." Chen Hu disagreed with Deng She's plan, he said in a deep voice, "The night is panicked, and the Tartars don't know my details. Wait until tomorrow, both inside and outside the city will know that our army is small, my lord, once the cunning people collude inside and outside, and the whole city is in turmoil, how can 200 people watch 3,000 people? Immediately in danger of overturning! ”

Deng She muttered: "I want to wait for the dawn to choose those who wish to surrender to join the army." ”

"What if a thousand would surrender? What if all three thousand would surrender? If you choose some of them, then both those who accept and those who do not accept will be suspicious. Chen Hu shook his head and said, "If everyone accepts it, the guest will be strong and the host will be weak, and it will become elbows and armpits." ”

Deng She understood Chen Hu's intentions, and he had to admit that Chen Hu was very thoughtful and said well. At the sound of an order, three thousand heads fell to the ground. He hesitated.

When he rushed to the camp, he noticed that the Yuan army was only about 1,000 people, and most of them were green troops. As far as his heart is concerned, he can still understand these young soldiers who are aiming at self-preservation. Everywhere the Yuan army and the red scarf went, the people of the time commented that they were "like locusts", if there were no more green troops who protected the territory, the people would not have a day to live.

But if you don't kill it, it's really a problem to raise a tiger. Which is more important? That's it, in the eyes of the full house, Deng She made a difficult choice: "Huang Qianhu, you work hard again." Lead your headquarters and assist Luo Baihu to avoid chaos. ”

Everyone knew that he had made a choice in his heart. In his eyes, he killed decisively, quietly killed three officials in three ways, and did not hesitate to kill the order, in addition to respect, add a little fear.

However, compared to Chen Hu, he is still a small thing. Chen Hu chopped off people's heads and ate human flesh, leaving a deep impression on everyone; Now that the killing of prisoners is mentioned for the first time, many people muttered in their hearts: "Dog's day is worthy of being a butcher." ”
