Knowing that the general army had fled, the remaining officers and soldiers knew that Anqing was no longer defendable, and everyone took advantage of the moment before fleeing to grab a fortune.

In the middle of the night, the Han soldiers who heard the sound of the city informed the commander-in-chief Lu Zhao of what had happened in the city.

As soon as Lu Zhao heard that there was chaos in the city, he immediately realized that Liu Liangzuo had run away.

He immediately ordered the whole army to attack the city at once, and the other 2,000 cavalry were excluded to pursue the city in the direction of the north.

The cavalry ran a hundred miles overnight, but they didn't even see Liu Liangzuo's shadow.

On the morning of the 17th, the Han army marched into the city of Anqing, and the banner of the king of Han was erected at the head of the city.

At this time, Anqing Mansion has long lost its former vitality, after a night of war, more than half of the people were killed and injured, and the dead were as many as 10,000 people.

The Han army almost wiped out the defenders in the city, except for the officers and soldiers who died last night, and the officers and soldiers who were captured alive were as many as 10,000.

Lu Zhao walked through the streets and alleys of Anqing City, which were littered with the corpses of ordinary people.

Lu Zhao pushed open a broken door, pushed the door in, and saw a mess inside, and the body of a man was lying on the ground.

Next to the man's body, there were also the bodies of two elderly people, a man and a woman.

The old man was stabbed to death, and when the old man's body was opened, Lu Zhao's personal soldiers actually found a baby under the old man.

The soldier quickly picked up the baby, tried it on the baby's nostrils with his hand, and said in surprise: "The child is still alive!" ”

When Lu Zhao heard this, he hurriedly took the baby and touched the baby's little hand with his hand, which was really hot.

It's just that the child's breath is very weak.

"Quick, find a doctor and save the child!"

The order was given, and the soldier quickly went out to find the doctor.

The soldiers continued to clean the house, lifted the curtain, and the tragic situation in the bedroom instantly came into view.

I saw that on the bed in the house, a naked woman was covered in blood, and she was stabbed three times in the abdomen, and the blood flowed down the side of the bed to the ground.

Seeing such a tragic situation, Lu Zhao took off his cloak and covered the woman's body.

He turned his head to the soldiers and said, "Bury this family!" ”

After a while, the pro-soldier ran in with a young doctor, and the young doctor was dragged by the pro-soldier and ran all the way, which would be tired and out of breath, and the breath was not smooth.

"Doctor, save this child!"

The young doctor stretched out his hand and waved, saying, "Wait for me to catch my breath!" ”

Finally, when the doctor came back in one breath, the soldiers hurriedly urged the doctor to see a doctor for the child.

The doctor took the baby and touched it with his hand, and was shocked, and quickly untied the linen cloth around the child, and said in surprise: "This child has just been born!" ”

"What?" And when they heard this, they were astonished.

The doctor pointed to the child's navel and said, "Look, the umbilical cord has just been cut." ”

After the doctor finished speaking, he touched the child's pulse with his hand again, and when he touched it, he suddenly exclaimed: "It's not good, the child is dying." ”

Lu Zhao on the side saw that the young doctor was clumsy, and couldn't help but shout: "Then you hurry up and save him!" ”

The young doctor wanted to cry without tears and said, "How can I save it, this child is hungry, I'm not, and I don't have milk to feed him!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded, yes, a group of old men, who can breastfeed the child!

"Then you can't watch your child starve to death, can you?" One of the pro-soldiers couldn't help but say.

The young doctor thought for a while, and when he saw the rice bowl in the house, he pointed to the rice bowl and said, "There is a way, cook the rice quickly, and feed the child with rice soup!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately went to lift the lid of the rice jar.

But when I opened the lid, I saw that the rice jar was empty, and there was still half a grain of rice.

"Commander, the rice tank is empty!"

"Then why don't you go find Mi!"

Soon, the soldiers brought rice from the man, and used the children's stove to make a fire to cook rice, and after a pot of gruel was cooked, the rice soup was served in a bowl by the soldiers.

Lu Zhao took the rice soup handed by his own soldiers, carefully blew the rice soup with his mouth, and when the rice soup cooled down, Lu Zhao fed the baby a small half spoon with a spoon.

When the baby's little mouth tasted the taste, he immediately began to pout his little mouth and began to eat, and after a while, he ate a small half bowl of rice soup.

When the soldiers saw Lu Zhao's skillful appearance in taking care of the child, they couldn't help but quip: "Commander, you are so skilled in taking care of the child!" ”

Lu Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

How could he not be familiar, he would have been a father a long time ago, if it weren't for the landlord Yan Zhenchuan in order to take away his family's few acres of good land, his children would have been at the age of going to private school now.

Thinking of his tragic child, Lu Zhao saw the baby in front of him, and immediately felt that this was given to him by God.

He said to his own soldiers: "From this day forward, this child will be my son." ”

When the soldiers below heard this, they couldn't help but tease: "Commander, you don't know if he is still a boy or a girl, how can you save him and know that it is a son?" ”

When Lu Zhao heard this, his old face immediately turned red, he reached out and tore open the child's file cloth, and when he saw the extra piece of stuff in the crotch of his pants, Lu Zhao suddenly laughed and said: "After the end of my Lu family, my Lu Zhao has a son!" ”

Since the rebellion, Lu Zhao has followed Mo Qian to fight in the east and west, and his meritorious service can be described as the most and greatest.

Originally, according to his status today, the first general under the throne of the dignified Han, it is not too simple for him to ask for a wife and a son to inherit the lineage.

But because of his appearance, the bright scar on his forehead, as long as a woman sees it, she will hide away because she is afraid.

Lu Zhao didn't think about renewing the house and having a pair of children in another family, but he couldn't find a good match for a long time.

And he himself is busy with the military, people stay in the army all day long, and he has no chance to contact women, there are many girls in the Huan Washing House in the army, but Lu Zhao thought that he was the master of the army, how could he marry a woman in the Huan Washing House because he couldn't get a wife.

What is the background of the women in the washroom, they are all good prostitutes in the brothel, marry them, whether they can have children or not, not to mention this reputation, Lu Zhao felt that he was too much of a loss.

So for marriage and family, Lu Zhao has not been able to take care of it all these years, and now he is happy to have a son, not to mention how happy Lu Zhao is in his heart.

He held the baby in his arms and racked his brains to choose a good name for the child.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhao suddenly felt that the ink in his stomach was not enough.

He asked the soldiers around him, "What do you say, what should be the name of this child?" ”

The pro-soldiers are a group of big bosses, where do they understand this kind of dance and ink thing.

A personal soldier said with a smile: "Commander, it's not easy to choose a name, go back to Wuchang, you can take the little commander to the king, and ask the king to take the cloth." ”

"This is a good way, then let the king take it."

Lu Zhao was overjoyed to have a son, and he ordered the soldiers to look for a wet nurse in the city, and after looking for a whole day, he finally found a wet nurse in a large family.

The work of the big family was looted by the officials and soldiers, and the family basically died, and the nurse hid in the well in the backyard because she was afraid, so she escaped.

Lu Zhaozai inspected the city of Anqing, looking at the tragic deaths of the people in the city, Lu Zhao couldn't help but feel anger rising from the soles of his feet.

He turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "Pass my order, the officers and soldiers who participated in the burning and looting last night will all be killed!" ”

When the soldiers heard this order, they were dumbfounded.

A bold soldier stepped forward and persuaded: "Commander, that's tens of thousands!" ”

Lu Zhao glared and said, "What's wrong with 10,000 people?" Don't say 10,000, it's 100,000, this commander is also killed, what are you still doing in a daze, don't you go to pass my orders! ”

Seeing that Lu Zhao had made up his mind, the soldiers knew that the matter could not be turned back, so they could only pass the word to the below, preparing to kill all the more than 10,000 soldiers.

This order caused an uproar in the army, and several generals who went out with the army advised Lu Zhao that it was too cruel to kill the pawns, and tens of thousands of people would be killed in one kill, and if they were killed, they would not be happy with the King of Han.

Lu Zhao couldn't control this, he forced all the troops to surrender, and within a day, the heads of people outside Anqing City were rolling, the Yangtze River was dyed red, and the corpses went down the river and floated directly outside Nanjing.

The officials of the six departments of Nanjing City were shocked to see the corpses of officers and soldiers floating on the river.

Shi Kefa, the imperial historian of the upper reaches of Nanjing, saw the corpses of the officers and soldiers drifting on the river, and quickly guessed that something happened to Anqing Mansion.

Shi Kefa sent scouts to Anqing to investigate, only to learn that Wangjiang County was breached, Anqing Mansion also fell yesterday, and the general soldier Liu Liangzuo had already disappeared.

Shi Kefa was furious, and as the imperial capital of the imperial court, he had great power.

He was responsible for the patrol of Anqing, Luzhou, Chizhou, Taiping, as well as the eight prefectures of Gwangju, Guangshan, Gushi, and Luotian.

was in charge of the military and political power of the Eight Mansions, and knowing that such a big thing had happened in Xia, Shi Kefa suddenly panicked.

The news that Mo Qian of Wuchang, Huguang, had established himself as the king of Han reached Shi Kefa's ears a few days ago.

Shi Kefa was a little scoffed at the beginning when he heard the news, feeling that he couldn't shake the foundation of the imperial court if he didn't ask a single question.

But now Shi Kefa doesn't see it that way, this anti-king army has defeated Anqing, so wouldn't it be about to enter Nanjing.

Anqing has been the gateway to Nanjing since ancient times, and there is no danger to defend, and now Anqing, the Han army will definitely use troops against Nanjing.

Shi Kefa immediately began to prepare, he urgently ordered the officers and troops of Chizhou, Luzhou, and Taiping to immediately assemble in Chizhou Mansion east of Anqing, and ordered the repair of the Chizhou city wall, preparing to block the eastward advance of the Han army in Chizhou.

On the 28th, Mo Qian received Lu Zhao's urging for military rations on the front foot, and received a letter from the general on the back foot, saying that Lu Zhao had killed more than 10,000 people in Anqing.

Mo Qian was shocked, he didn't expect Lu Zhao to be so bold and dare to kill tens of thousands of soldiers without a military order, this is unimaginable.

Mo Qian immediately summoned Li Banghua and Mei Zhihuan to discuss.

When the two heard the news that tens of thousands of soldiers had been killed, they were also taken aback.

Mei Zhihuan even proposed: "King, since ancient times, although pit killing is a common thing, but the killing is unknown, recently a pit killing and surrendering as many as 10,000 people, if this news spreads, it will have an irreparable impact on the reputation of the Han King and the righteous army, Weichen believes that the king should immediately order, immediately remove all positions of Lu Zhao, at least he should be demoted three levels in a row, and then punished, so as to suppress the atmosphere of killing and surrendering."

If the king doesn't deal with this, then the other generals will follow suit, and everyone will start to kill and surrender, so that there will be all kinds of harm and no benefit! ”

Li Banghua also echoed on the side: "King, what Father Bin said is reasonable, although it is said that the king is defeated, but the Anqing official army has surrendered, if it is not good to be treated well, just blindly kill it, I am afraid that no one will be willing to surrender in the future!" ”

Mo Qian listened to the words of the two ministers, and couldn't help but nod in deep understanding.

He had already read the letter from the army, and knew that Lu Zhao had killed and surrendered because the official army had burned, killed, and looted in Anqing City, and did all kinds of evil.

But now the situation is different, not to mention that as a modern person, he can't accept this kind of thing, even in the eyes of Li Banghua and others who are in the dynasty, they also feel that killing and surrendering is an extremely unlucky thing.

Even after defeating the enemy, our army will not use the method of killing and surrendering.

Guilt can be tried later, but blindly killing is not the best way to deal with it.

After some discussion, Mo Qian decided to remove Lu Zhaohu from the post of commander of Guangguang, and demoted him by three levels in a row and demoted him to the position of general.

For the time being, the commander of Huguang will be held by himself personally.

In view of the fact that the battle in Anqing was too smooth, Mo Qian decided to expand the results of this battle, and he ordered that the front-line commander should be Peng Jinhong, and the original front-line commander Lu Zhao was demoted to a staff general and immediately transferred back to Wuchang.

When the will reached Anqing Mansion, Lu Zhao didn't say anything, and accepted the order to be demoted very calmly.

He took his adopted child, only ten personal soldiers, and returned to Wuchang with the soldiers who came to give orders.

As soon as Lu Zhao left, the Anqing battle situation was taken over by the general soldier Peng Jinhong, who turned around and ordered the whole army to prepare to attack Chizhou Mansion after sending off his old watch at the dock.

Chizhou Mansion, just east of Anqing, crossed the river and entered the boundary of Chizhou Mansion.

After crossing the river, I walked dozens of miles to Guichi, the capital of Chizhou Prefecture.

At this time, in Guichi City, Shi Kefa had already been waiting for the arrival of the Han army with 14,000 men and horses.

On 23 February, Peng Jinhong personally led an army of 32,000 people by waterway, plus 50,000 people who accompanied the army, a total of 100,000 horses, and marched across the river to the east.

On 14 February, the army reached the river outside Guizhou.

The Eight Governors of the Eight Prefectures wanted to see the lineup of the rebels, and when Shi Kefa saw 500 warships on the river, everyone was shocked.

He muttered: "I didn't expect this thief to have such a large army, Chizhou is in danger, Nanjing is in danger!" "The Eight Governors Shi Kefa indulged in seeing the lineup of the rebels, and when Shi Kefa saw five hundred warships on the river, everyone was shocked.

Peng Jinhong took over as the commander-in-chief of the front, and he was full of spirit, looking at the heavily guarded and large number of people in Guichi City, he knew that the officers and troops had been prepared.

Peng Jinhong immediately ordered, and the sailor fired at the city wall!
