Chapter 434: He's Coming
Before today, Qin Ke had never thought that the situation would be so tense. Tang Guo, Canghai, and Mo family, although these three families have fought a lot of battles, there is almost no such thing as slaughtering the city in normal times, after all, the three families were also of the same root back then.
Tang was a prince canonized by the previous dynasty, and he has retained this huge foundation for many years, so there is no need to say more.
The Mo family inherited the mantle of the previous dynasty, the last emperor of the Ji Dynasty was only fifteen years old when he ascended the throne, and when he saw the disputes among the princes in the world, he was alone in the palace of Jicheng shivering, terrified, and simply abdicated. The Mo family tycoon refused to be the emperor on the grounds that "the minister must not commit any offense", but instead made a system similar to the "Zen concession system", and still used the Mo family tycoon to lead the court affairs.
Although his grandfather was one of the three princes of the previous dynasty, the Ji Dynasty at that time was already in decline, and the court was chaotic.
And in his father's generation, something went wrong somehow, the family fell into the middle, the family was destitute overnight, and the old father also died of illness on the bed.
Cao Meng had nothing, but by virtue of his knowledge and ambitions, he made a lot of like-minded people, and then took advantage of the time of the dispute, he went all the way north, recognized the northern county as his father-in-law, and married him, his father-in-law had no children under his knees in his life, Cao Meng sent him to the end of his old age, and after fulfilling all the responsibilities of a son of man, he suddenly swept through the major barbarians in the north within a year, and made contributions and established a career in the troubled times of the group of heroes......
Therefore, these three families all have the style of the world in their hearts, for fear that the common people will not know that they are the supreme of the world who can protect the people after the unification. Therefore, he has always exercised restraint and never done anything that would lose the hearts of the people.
But Xiang Chu's actions completely violated the consistent tacit understanding of the three families, like a reckless man, holding a board axe and trying to smash the rules to pieces.
But in Qin Ke's opinion, since Xiang Chu could see through Zhao Kuan's strategy and lead the troops to defeat the Mo family's reinforcements in a battle, he shouldn't be an unreasonable and reckless man.
But the current situation is exactly like this, this Xiang Chu is completely unreasonable, perhaps...... This is where he is called the overlord of the overlord?
Qin Ke was silent, in fact, his heart was already in chaos, in terms of fear of death and laziness, he was only afraid that it would be worse than Gao Yishui, but if he couldn't get the Five Elements Sinan, he was really unwilling, and he had come over with all the hardships, and now he was only one step away.
But he looked at Cai Yan and said firmly: "You ......"
"I'm not leaving. Cai Yan spoke first, and blocked Qin Ke back with one sentence, "You promised to take me around the world, you promised! Last time I asked you again on the roof, you said you didn't forget, now you want to regret it?"
"No! no, it's ...... It's not the same. Qin Ke argued, "As long as I can protect you, I can go anywhere, but now Jinzhou is very dangerous, and I may not be able to get out if I stay, let alone you?"
"I'm not afraid. Cai Yan looked very calm, "After getting along for so long, do you expect me to leave you behind and walk away by myself? Then I won't be guilty for the rest of my life." When the time comes, your soul will wander in my dreams every day, saying that it is so cold and cold underground, and you want me to send you bed cotton, and there is no money to spend underground, so you want me to send you some silver...... Where am I going to deliver it? ”
She stuck out her tongue and continued: "Then you can only wait until Qingming every year to burn paper money for you, how troublesome." ”
"This ......" Qin Ke couldn't cry or laugh, "what a mess." And if I die, you're going to burn some paper money? You're not such a pickyman, are you?"
Cai Yan squinted at him, and there seemed to be flowing water in his beautiful eyes: "I'm just so stingy! You only knew me on the first day?"
Qin Ke was speechless, I have to say that although Cai Yan is from a famous family, he does things in a lot of times with everyone's demeanor and is very understanding, but sometimes it is really helpless to play a little temperament, for example, if he has to spend a few copper coins to exchange for the sugar gourd that the child has eaten, Qin Ke said to buy her a new one, she was stunned and unwilling, as if the sugar gourd that the child had gnawed was extraordinarily sweet.
Since persuasion couldn't be made for a while, he could only put his eyes on Gao Yishui and Abu for help, but Gao Yishui squinted and smiled: "Don't look at me, I think about the same as her." ”
Abu stepped forward and patted Qin Ke on the shoulder: "I won't leave either, when I came out of Jingwu, I promised my husband to advance and retreat with you, and he has always taught me the principle of sacrificing my life for righteousness." I'll stay with you!"
Qin Ke rolled his eyes, thinking that he might not be able to do the things that Zhuge Wanling taught you, after all, how could a smart person like him stupidly accompany others to die?
However, this was not easy to say bluntly in front of Abu, and he was a little sullen for a while.
Soon, bad news came from the Gongchu Cha: the Tang army blocked all the main roads outside Jinzhou, and as long as anyone approached, they cut and killed like butchers, and even threw the corpses of the common people and wealthy families who were preparing to flee Jinzhou at night to the city as a deterrent.
"It's okay now, I can't leave if I want to. Don't blame me for being served by a litter when the time comes. After Qin Ke heard this, like a deflated ball, he sat down on the stool.
Cai Yan reached out and poured him a cup of tea on the table, and laughed quietly: "After a nest is served, you can go down to be a companion, Yin Cao Difu...... It can also be one of the experiences of traveling the world, right?"
At the same time, in the camp of the Tang Army, Xiang Chu sat on a wide chair covered with tiger skin, slowly wiping the sword in his hand, and the general next to him had not had time to take off his armor, and reported to him clearly in his voice.
"There are about 1,000 people who fled out of the city at night, but there are not many people, mainly those big families, who dragged their families with their mouths, loaded with several carts of gold and silver treasures, and we intercepted them, as for the people...... We were all killed, and as the general commanded, we were thrown back into the city. ”
Xiang Chu took advantage of the candle flame to lift the sword in front of him, and went down the hilt, the blade of the sword was like a straight line: "Very good." And the silver and the gold were divided among the brethren. Tell them that if the city is broken, there will be more good things waiting for them to grab. ”
"Yes. The general hesitated and tentatively said, "General, the last general said something that should not be said, do this...... Isn't that a bit too much?"
Of course, he didn't mean to separate the gold and silver from the soldiers, in his opinion, this was Xiang Chu's merit, proving that he loved the soldiers like a son, and the rewards and punishments were clear.
It's just this slaughter...... It really made him a little puzzled.
"After the order to slaughter the city, the general did not allow Jinzhou to surrender, wouldn't this make the people of the entire Jinzhou scold the general for being cruel? Moreover, in this way, the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou know that they will not be spared, and they will inevitably resist desperately, and it will not be even more difficult for our army to take Jinzhou?"
Xiang Chu nodded, and continued to put the war sword on the grinding stone to polish it, and under the fire candle, the streamer on the edge flashed: "You're right." Doing so will inevitably make Jinzhou fight against the odds and do its best...... But who said my purpose was only in Jinzhou?"
"General......
"Li Yu. Xiang Chu directly interrupted the general, looked at him, and said, "I use soldiers, when will it be your turn to ask the east and the west?"
Li Yu's cheeks twitched, and he immediately took a step back, and said respectfully: "The general forgives the sin, and the general has said more." ”
Xiang Chu waved his hand: "That's it, you don't understand, I don't blame you." You go and have someone send a message to Longju, and ask him to station the 50,000 troops in the Great Hidden Mountain and block all the passages between Xingzhou and Jinzhou. ”
"Yes. Li Yu nodded, opened the big tent and walked out.
"Next...... It's up to Cao Meng to do it. Xiang Chu sat alone and pondered for a moment," Wang Xuanwei ...... What about you? What will you do? Is it to stand by coldly and wait until the Mo family is turned upside down...... Or are you going to ...... What more to do?"
What he didn't know was that in Jinzhou City, someone wearing a heavy black robe slowly walked into the gate of the public loser, and suddenly, the radius of his place seemed to be shrouded in a night.
And on the man's shoulder, rests a bean-sized, dark golden beetle......
