Chapter 340: A stupid and blunt scheme
After Bao Hongde and Wenshuo's army occupied Yuanyang City, they surrounded the entire city, because the generals had died, and the remaining Beidi army surrendered one after another, Bao Hongde ordered all the gates of the entire Yuanyang City to be closed, and expelled all the Beidi soldiers to the city of Yuanyang City, and ordered the city to be slaughtered.
Wen Shuo was stunned for a moment, looked at Bao Hongde and asked, "There are more than 20,000 prisoners of war right now, if you slaughter the city, I'm afraid it will be ......."
Bao Hongde frowned, "If we don't slaughter the city, do we still have to provide them with food and lodging to feed these people who killed many of our soldiers?" ”
Wen Shuo pursed his lips, and he couldn't refute what he said, just like he couldn't refute Zheng Qi's order to slaughter the city back then, so he could only turn his back and say in a low and hoarse voice, "I'll go and repair the book to Jin Bo and ask him to send soldiers and horses to Yuanyang City as soon as possible." ”
Bao Hongde nodded, went up to the city tower, tied up all the prisoners of war, and pressed them in the center of the big city, the combined forces of Bao Hongde and Wen Shuo had already accumulated a breath of anger because of the long-term defeat at this moment, and just waited for Bao Hongde to give an order to let go of the massacre of this group of people who did not share the sky with him. 20,000 people, 20,000 corpses, blood stained the entire Yuanyang City, and all eyes were bloody red, as if even the sky had turned from blue to red.
Yuanyang City was filled with mournful wails, Wen Shuo pinched his sun **, hung his head and held the pen vigorously to write the letter that Yuanyang City had taken away, preparing to send the documents out after some time, and asked Jin Bo to send troops to take over. At this moment, Jin Bo first received a message from the envoy sent by Zheng Qizhi, and the envoy said, "General Zheng asked me to bring a message to Jin Bo!" ”
"What?" Jin Bo asked.
"At present, Bao Hongde is the dictatorship of the merit, and the queen is favored in the court, since this battle has occupied an absolute advantage, Jin Bo might as well take advantage of the beauty of the people to give all the credit to Bao Hongde, don't ask him for credit again!" The envoy said.
This made Jin Bo confused and confused, "What does General Zheng mean by this?" ”
The envoy smiled, took a step forward, and said in Jin Bo's ear, "If Jin Bo sends someone to northern Jin to support the combined forces of Bao Hongde and Wen Shuo at this moment, wouldn't it seem that he wants to take credit from Bao Hongde?" What's more, when the war was tense before, Jin Bo refused to send people there, but now that he has eased up a little, seeing that defeat has turned into victory, Jin Bo just made a move, don't you think it's a little inappropriate? ”
Jin Bo was suddenly shocked in his heart, and took two steps back, "Thank you General Zheng for reminding me, if it weren't for General Zheng's thoughtful thinking, I'm afraid I would have made another mistake in the future." After thanking him, Jin Bo arranged first-class food and lodging for the envoy, specially invited someone to receive the envoy, and asked the envoy to say a few kind words in front of General Zheng after he returned.
The news of the slaughter of Yuanyang City has come out at this moment, Beidi stationed tens of thousands of people to prepare for the war in the spring of the next year, at this moment was slaughtered by Bao Hongde, Beidi's Di Lord is hesitating to send people to go, the anti-war faction in the court said, "If you send troops to go again, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, now fighting against Da Zhou, they won the first battle, this is the moment when people's hearts gather, if we fight again, if we lose again, I'm afraid that Da Zhou wants to take my Beidi without much effort." ”
"How's that to be?" Lord Di Di of Bei asked, his voice was full of anger, which made the rest of the people dare not answer, leaving only the minister who persuaded Lord Di not to attack, thinking carefully, and suddenly thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face, "According to the opinion of the lower officials, anyway, that Yuanyang is not a city of our clan, so it is better to ...... Destroy the city, let the original Yang City and the Great Zhou army and horses end up together! ”
"Destroying the city?" When the Di Lord of Beidi heard this, he immediately became interested, turned his body sideways and looked at the other party and asked, "Are you talking about how to destroy the city?" ”
In the final analysis, Yuanyang is just a city of the Jin Kingdom, this time Beidi has won the confrontation with Jin and Da Zhou, since the city can not be defended, it is better to destroy it, and the soldiers and horses on both sides cannot be obtained, which naturally cannot be counted as a loss for Beidi, but for Jin it cannot but say that it is a big loss. This can be regarded as avenging the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, and the Lord of Beidi Di naturally likes this plan very much.
What Bao Hongde missed was that although the Di Lord of Beidi was unwilling to send troops, he forgot that he was not the Lord of Yuanyang, and he didn't care about this city at all. However, the anger of the tens of thousands of troops dying on the battlefield in Lord Di's heart had no way to swallow it for a while, so he could only lie dormant for the time being and try again in the future.
Now that the dog Rong has withdrawn and gone to the Qinling line, I heard that the perennial border guards stationed in the Qinling Mountains have now come to the north of Jin, and the Di lord can only hope that the dog Rong's division will help him hold this big enemy! The officials who replied below also carefully speculated on the appearance and expression of Lord Di, and admonished, "As long as the king sends someone to surround Yuanyang City and burn the city, all the soldiers stationed in this city will confess their lives here, and taste this blood debt for my Dadi soldiers!" In the future, if the dog Rong can break through the defense line of the Qin State and step into the pickaxe capital with iron hooves, we can also take advantage of the situation to attack the northern Jin Dynasty here, and then I am afraid that the princes of the Central Plains will be too busy to take care of themselves, and they will no longer have time to take care of the affairs of the neighbors! ”
"Good!" Lord Di clapped his hands, "Good strategy! Just listen to you, you can do this thing, how many people do you need? ”
"No one is needed!" The courtier replied.
"No one?" Lord Di frowned slightly, feeling that this answer was a little too strange, and the courtiers immediately played and said, "You don't need one person below, as long as you ask the king to allow the lower officials to dispatch the soldiers stationed in the new city, you can destroy this Yuanyang City in one day!" ”
"But Xincheng has already taken it, if you ask the soldiers in Xincheng to attack Yuanyang, I'm afraid that Xincheng won't be able to defend it!" Lord Di said, his heart was uneasy.
"My lord, what's the use of leaving a new city in this form at the moment? It's better to call "The soldiers of the new city destroyed the new city and then went to Yuanyang to burn the original Yang City, surrounded by all sides, and the soldiers in the city must not dare to go out of the city, but can only be trapped in the city!"
"Good!" Lord Di nodded, "You can do it!" The widow wants to hear the good news! ”
"Yes, King!" This person replied, retreated, hurriedly returned to his house, called his henchmen to order, detoured to the new city to send a letter, the general in the new city received this order to know that the entire Yuanyang City soldiers had been slaughtered, grief and indignation quickly encroached on the internal organs, this matter passed on, the entire Beidi soldiers were blinded, their eyes were red, their hands were tightly clenched together, and they wanted to dismantle the soldiers of the Great Zhou. Therefore, when the order was given to destroy the city, everyone did not hesitate in the slightest, and the firewood was lit under the city gate, and the smoke billowed and blackened the sky.
That night, the soldiers in Yuanyang City had gone through two battles, and they were already exhausted at the moment, and they all fell into bed and fell into a deep dream after drinking the celebration wine, only Wen Shuo did not sleep soundly, and always felt that this matter would not end so simply. Tossing and turning in the house and unable to sleep.
Beidi's soldiers this night, tens of thousands of soldiers picked up firewood and piled it up outside Yuanyang City, a pile of several miles, poured kerosene on weekdays, threw a fire over, the fire quickly burned the plain, when dawn came, the fire lit up the sky, and the entire Yuanyang City was like daylight within hundreds of miles. At this moment, the digging protrusion in the wounded soldier's tent moved slightly, and then sat up suddenly.
"General?" A soldier shouted as he looked at the dug.
"Where's General Wen?" Digging Turf opened his eyes and saw the soldier and was the first to ask about it.
"General Wen and Dr. Bao have gone to attack the city!" The soldier said, pointing to the city behind him.
"What city?" He frowned slightly, always feeling very uneasy.
"Yuanyang City." The soldier replied.
"Any news coming back?" Dig asked.
The soldier said with an excited expression, "It is said that Yuanyang City has been captured!" ”
"And then?" Dig asked.
"I heard that Dr. Bao ordered the slaughter of the city and slashed the remaining tens of thousands of Beidi soldiers in the city, but unfortunately you and I were seriously injured and couldn't go!" The soldier let out a long sigh, his expression showing a look of great regret, at this moment his mind had already flown to the Yuanyang City next door, and he only hated that he couldn't enjoy the fruits of victory in it.
But what I didn't expect was that the performance of digging suddenly was to slap his bed hard, and said viciously, "Damn! ”
"General Digger?" The soldier asked uncertainly, looking at the dug's appearance.
"You shouldn't have slaughtered the city!" Dutu looked at the soldier and said, clenching his teeth tightly, his expression looked very pale, and the sun suddenly jumped, "If you slaughter the city, you can't stop it!" ”
"What?" The soldier asked, looking at him puzzled.
"The soldiers in the city should be exchanged for Beidi's withdrawal army, and now the city is slaughtered, I'm afraid it's ......" Dutu sighed, "I'm afraid that Beidi will order the destruction of the city, so that my soldiers of Da Zhou and Yuanyang City will be destroyed together!" ”
When he said this, the soldier's face froze, "Probably not, right?" ”
"I hope not!" Dutu's brows were tightly locked together, and as soon as the words fell, someone rushed in from outside the door, "Oh no, no, no!" ”
"What?" The soldier who came in was stunned by these words, looked at the dutu and asked in surprise, "Is the general awake?" ”
Dutu nodded slightly, "What's going on?" ”
"Beidi's soldiers have burned Yuanyang City, the raging fire that ignited outside the city, I don't know ...... General Wen and them" The soldier pointed to the outside of the house, and rushed out, looking up at the skyrocketing fire, the wound was faintly painful, and his heart was as painful as if he was being grabbed, he turned around and returned to the military tent, "How many of us still have us?" ”
"Less than a hundred!" The soldier replied.
He pondered for a moment, looked at the soldier and said, "Withdraw!" ”
"What?" The soldier asked in surprise, barely believing his ears that the ever-invincible Digger would say such irresponsible words at this moment.
