29. Regret
……
"Open the door! Open the door! Hear no! Open the door! ”
Outside a civilian house, a group of Chu soldiers, led by an officer, banged heavily on the closed door.
Behind the door, a family of five shrunk under the table and kept shaking, and the man looked at the shaking door bolt, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
After slamming the door to no avail, the officer of the Chu army became angry and yelled at his subordinates behind him: "Smash the door open for me!" ”
The next moment, several soldiers rolled up their sleeves and immediately began to slam on the door, and before long, the closed door was kicked open and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, the man hurriedly crawled out from under the table, knelt in front of the officer and begged: "The military master is angry, the military master is angry~"
The officer of the Chu army looked at him, grabbed the man's hair, lifted him from the ground, slapped him in the face without saying a word, and roared: "Damn, you opened the door and became deaf, didn't you?" Master Jun has been waiting outside the door for so long, wanting to die! ”
The man covered his swollen cheeks and begged for mercy vaguely: "Master Jun, the little one is scared......"
"Hmph......" The officer snorted coldly, then pushed him to the ground and waved his big hand: "Remove all the valuable things, and smash all the things that can't be moved!" ”
The subordinates who received the order immediately smiled and began to destroy all the visible objects in the house, and some of the other Chu soldiers did not even let go of pots and pans, and all moved them outside.
The man sat on the ground, not daring to resist at all, in the face of this group of robbers, he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and he was content with the safety of his own life.
After pacing in the room for a while, the officer suddenly caught a glimpse of someone under the table, frowned, and stepped forward to overturn the table.
"Mother!"
A girl who had just turned fifteen years old was frightened and immediately threw herself into her mother's arms and began to cry.
"Yo-hee, hey-hey-hey......"
When the officer saw the girl's appearance, he couldn't help but smile cruelly, looked back at the male host, and quipped: "This is your daughter?" ”
When the man heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of the officer, and begged bitterly: "Master Jun, you can dispose of the things at home casually, can you let go of the little family?" ”
The officer kicked the man over and scolded: "Are you negotiating terms with the military master? Hmph, it's hard to march all the way, and it's a blessing for the military master to let your daughter serve, don't know what to do! ”
After saying that, he went to catch the girl with a wicked smile.
"Mother, save me!"
"Let my daughter go!"
The mother grabbed her daughter's hand and didn't let her leave her side, but the difference in strength was too great, and the girl was finally taken away by the officer, and walked out of the house with a lewd smile on her shoulder.
"No, no, let go of my daughter! Let go of my daughter! ”
Seeing that his flesh and blood were about to suffer, the man pounced desperately and hugged the officer's leg.
"Damn, let go, let you let go and hear it!"
The officer's movement was blocked, and he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted at the male owner at his feet.
But the man gritted his teeth and hugged the officer's thigh, and the two moved all the way to the street.
"Toast without eating and drinking! Come! Give him a hard beating! ”
The officer was furious, and with a loud roar, four Chu soldiers rushed up in an instant and beat the man at the officer's feet.
In the end, the man's face was covered with blood, and he let go of his hand weakly, and watched his daughter be taken away by the officer, and disappear at the end of the street amid her constant struggle and shouting.
The same scene happened in all corners of Yongzhou City, because there was a saying in advance, all the looted materials in the city, ninety percent must be handed over, and one percent can be kept by oneself.
This rule really turned this group of tigers and wolves into beasts, and began to raid all over the city with impunity.
Among them, the most miserable are those female dependents, who have become the objects of the Chu army's long-accumulated resentment.
In the Chu army, which is generally illiterate, all courtesy, righteousness, shame, and family and country feelings have been left behind, and some are only the most primitive beasts since the birth of mankind.
The women in the city were escorted to the "laundry camp" in the barracks, and were used as military tricks for the group of Chu soldiers to vent to their heart's content.
Zhang Ting looked at the countless women imprisoned in the laundry camp, and felt very uncomfortable, no matter how you say it, these women are all fellow villagers.
"That's it, that's the way of the world, let's take care of our own affairs."
After trying to convince himself, Zhang Ting stopped paying attention to them and planned to go to other camps to take a breather.
"Husband! Is that your husband? ”
At this moment, a familiar shout echoed in Zhang Ting's ears, and he was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly looked back, his eyes widened.
I saw a woman and child about twenty-five or sixteen years old in the barracks not far away, unkempt and unkempt lying at the entrance of the barracks, shouting loudly to herself.
Isn't this his wife?
Seeing this, Zhang Ting hurriedly rushed to the barracks and shouted, "Why are you here?" Go back! ”
The women and children cried: "These soldiers rushed into my house indiscriminately, and dragged me here without saying a word. ”
But when he rushed to the entrance of the camp, he was stopped by two guards with knives: "Bold, dare to break into the barracks, do you want to die!" ”
Zhang Ting hurriedly flattered: "Two military masters, that's my lady, all this is a misunderstanding, please let her go?" ”
When the two guards heard this, they didn't pay attention to it at all: "Presumptuous, no matter who it is, you can't violate military regulations, even if it's your lady!" ”
Zhang Ting begged bitterly: "Master Jun, General Qin promised us that he would not hurt my family, she is really my wife, let her go quickly." ”
"Get out of here!" A guard brutally pushed Zhang Ting to the ground and shouted loudly, "No one is allowed to approach without General Qin's permission, otherwise there will be no mercy!" ”
When Zhang Ting heard this, he struggled to get up from the ground and shouted at his wife: "You wait a while, I'll go and beg General Qin to let you go, wait a minute, I'll go and go back!" ”
He trotted all the way, asking around where Qin Zongquan was now, and finally found Qin Zongquan who was drinking in a wine shop at the gate of the city.
After listening to Zhang Ting's words, Qin Zongquan sneered and said to him seriously: "General Ben said that he would not hurt your family,
But I didn't say that I wouldn't pull her as a military trick, not to mention that it was an order from the prime minister, I had to follow the order, don't worry, wait for this battle to be over,
General Ben will find you a good girl again, your yellow-faced woman, don't care about her, go down and rest. ”
When Zhang Ting heard this, he said loudly: "General Qin, why did you go back on your word? How did you promise us in the first place, only to forget it all in just one day? ”
When Qin Zongquan heard this, he got up directly and smashed a fist into Zhang Ting's lower abdomen, so painful that he couldn't stand up.
", what do you think you are? It's just a group of untouchables, why should Lao Tzu talk to you about credit, don't you just play with your woman?
What do you have to be dissatisfied with? If you dare to talk to me like this again, Lao Tzu will cut you with a knife, come on! Throw him out of here, ruined fun! ”
At this time, Zhang Ting regretted it, he really didn't expect that he would take the initiative to surrender to Cheng in exchange for such a result, if he listened to Zhu Xuan's words yesterday and fought to the death with the enemy, even if he died in battle, he would have fulfilled his duty to protect his family.
But it was too late, Zhang Ting opened his mouth wide, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he roared silently......
