Chapter 478: Dingwolf City
It was a cold winter, and Liang Xiao ordered Tibai and others to put on specially prepared civilian costumes of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At this moment, Tibai only hopes that the whole clan will be safe, how can he still take care of the dignity of the king, and after getting dressed, he will kneel down again to apologize.
Liang Xiao asked them to get up and asked, "Can the messenger tell the truth?" ”
"Hui Da Sima: After surrendering, those who have no major crimes will be exempted from death, and those who have committed major crimes will be assigned hard labor, and in the future, all the people of the desert will be integrated into the Great Zhou and become members of the Great Zhou, but in the future, they must no longer adhere to the customs of Beihu, and at the same time, they must accept all reasonable labor arrangements and guardianship of the imperial court for the place of residence, until we become the real people of the Great Zhou. All this, we, as sinners, are all arranged by the court......"
Tibai, the king of Beihu Zuoxian, as the son of Emperor Feng, his attitude of surrender and confession was extremely sincere, and the Great Zhou was quite satisfied.
Liang Xiao ordered someone to give him a portion of food and wine as a reward, and at the same time led his troops north, leaving 10,000 men to guard the bones.
There were scouts and vanguard troops in front of the guard, and the soldiers did not worry about the enemy's fraudulent surrender.
Except for Zuoxian Wang Tibai, the other Beihu courtiers who surrendered with him were temporarily tied up and did not dare to move.
Tibai sat in the carriage in front of him, and together with the other Beihu people, he was questioned in detail by Liang Xiao.
The Beihu captives who were in charge of leading the way had previously identified the "Wanshou Pit", and now with the affirmation of Tibai and others, Liang Xiao finally confirmed that after the Great Zhou soldiers were beheaded, their heads were abandoned here.
In the logistics troops, the skulls of the heroes and martyrs were carefully collected, and the grit was removed, and even the broken bones the size of a fingernail did not dare to give up.
The army marched north to the south gate of the Wolf City, and at this time all the Beihu soldiers disarmed their troops and surrendered on their knees.
The eyes of all the Great Zhou soldiers were focused on the city gate.
There was a cage encased in fine barbed wire, and the bones of Bai Sensen were faintly visible in the cage.
"Marshal ......"
The generals looked grieved.
Lei Hong took the lead in climbing the ladder, carefully removed the cage, brought it to Liang Xiao, and offered it with both hands.
Taking over the cage, Liang Xiao's gaze passed through the wire and saw it clearly.
Liang Xun's skull had long since been weathered and shattered, unrecognizable, and the broken parts were covered by the barbed wire below.
In an instant, Liang Xiao burst into tears.
Even though he had already been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but grieve in the face of this situation.
This man, obviously calmly retreating to protect himself, going back to accompany his wife and son, and even groveling to the great family, but he chose to treat death as home, and even took the crime of defeating the army alone.
In both lives, he never saw his parents.
According to the old man, he is very much like his father and grandfather.
When the old man saw him, it was like seeing Liang Xun, and the old Lanling Marquis, his clan brother, his third brother.
Now, he is a continuation of the spirit of three generations of Lanling Marquis.
Zhuge Ding was afraid that Liang Xiao would treat everyone equally, so he integrated Liang Xun's skull into the bones of other heroes, and hurriedly reminded him.
"Marshal, Your Majesty has reminded you that Ling Zun's remains should be protected separately and brought back for a grand burial......"
Liang Xiao understood and handed Liang Xun's skull to Xuan Wei.
After the wire cage was unraveled, Xuan Wei carefully stored it in a special urn with a solemn expression.
Everyone is well aware of the significance of this urn.
His father was martyred, and his son inherited his father's will, defended the country, took revenge, and brought unprecedented stability to the Great Zhou.
A state funeral is a must.
After the Great Zhou soldiers saved the skulls of the martyrs, the hatred for the Beihu army in their hearts had long been deep.
Especially the culprits, Emperor Feng and Hu Yanche.
Liang Xiao had already informed in advance that ordinary people in Beihu should be escorted to China to accept hard labor.
Counting the victories before and after, the Great Zhou soldiers killed no less than 200,000 people, and they barely put away their hatred.
The Great Zhou army began to take over the Wolf City, preparing to relocate the Beihu people here and bring them back to China to serve as laborers.
Fortunately, the Wu Emperor of the Wu Dynasty fought in the south and the north, and the achievements of the world were in the world, and the nomads of the desert even gave up the original language and went all out to learn the language of the Wu Dynasty.
The Great Zhou inherited the orthodoxy of the Wu Dynasty and followed the script of the Wu Dynasty, so it was not difficult to communicate with the Beihu people, and they could annex, absorb and disperse these Beihu people as soon as possible.
Almost all of these Beihu people have lost their adult males in their families, and they are no longer able to resist, making it easier for them to accept resettlement.
As the royal court of Beihu, the wolf city is located in the south of the desert, the water and grass are fertile, but it still does not have the scale of the Great Zhou City, there is only a simple fence on the periphery, and the inner layer is dominated by tents, and the palace is the exclusive property of the Northern Hu monarchs and magnates.
The Beihu soldiers and civilians in Wolf City faced the soldiers of the Great Zhou, and everyone was terrified.
Most of the people who stayed here were old, weak, women and children, but all the men who could ride horses and shoot arrows followed Emperor Feng south this year.
According to their cognition, as the family members of these Beihu soldiers, they may sit together.
No one was distressed by the death of a male in their family on the battlefield, even the children, who were repeatedly warned by their elders not to cry.
These days, the name of the Marquis of Lanling of the Great Zhou Dynasty has become a nightmare for the Beihu people.
A crying child will immediately cover his mouth when he hears his mother mention this name, and there is only fear in his eyes.
Now, Nightmare is in Wolf City!
The haze of fear hangs over the hearts of every Beihu people.
Until the Great Zhou soldiers rode horses to spread the message everywhere.
"Marshal Lanling Marquis issued an order: The people of Beihu, those who obey the order will not die!"
The military order spread, and the Beihu people in the city were still terrified.
They all know the stories of their men and the older generation.
War, how can there be a city that is not slaughtered?
Even if the commander really promised not to slaughter the city, after the army entered the city, the soldiers had the means to deal with the people who had no power to resist.
Exploitation, obscenity, looting...... He even forced the people in the city to rebel, and then used this as an excuse to carry out the actual slaughter and cleansing of the city.
These things, the Beihu people have a precedent for the cities of that land.
When the land was in turmoil, there were also troops who did the same.
It is undoubtedly the most foolish to hope for the mercy of the enemy.
And now, the Beihu people can only wait to be killed.
When some residents found the Great Zhou soldiers approaching, they hurriedly offered to donate all the surplus food and meat at home, just begging them to give them a way out.
But soon, they discovered the anomaly.
These Great Zhou soldiers who passed by didn't take a penny, just asked them to go back and wait for the arrangement, not to run around, and then went to the next area to inspect.
"They really didn't commit any crimes!"
Looking at the Great Zhou soldiers with gloomy faces but strict military discipline, the men, women and children of Beihu were relieved.
Countless people hugged each other and cried at home, with mixed emotions.
"In comparison, our Shan Yu and the Generalissimo are simply ......"
The Great Zhou army did not commit any crimes against the Beihu Renqiu who remained behind, and made a judgment with Emperor Feng, Hu Yanche and others, and slowly gained their trust.
In less than two days, almost no one resented Liang Xiao and the Great Zhou soldiers, and instead hated the Northern Hu monarchs headed by Emperor Feng.
"Why do you have to invade Da Zhou......
"If they don't lead troops to invade Da Zhou, our father, husband, son, and brother will not die!"
……
Liang Xiao personally counted the materials, and Tibai and the Beihu officials who were in charge of the inventory reported truthfully.
At noon, the Great Zhou scouts in the north came back to report.
"Marshal! Our army patrolled Guyan Mountain and Wolf Juxu Mountain in the north, but found no trace of the enemy! ”
