31 Commanded to kill the thief

After Xie Yixiang and Yan Sidao finished discussing, they returned to their respective stations, and General Sun had already gathered the remnants of the troops on both sides and the people in the forest according to the plan of De Yizi, and made a unified arrangement and dispatch in the forest, while De Yizi disappeared again, thinking that he would not come out until around evening. Then Yan Sidao summoned a few sergeants and went to the small hill where the three of them had talked last night, but he wanted to prepare a dojo for De Yizi, so that he could perform the Guigu Peerless "Xuanwei Death Technique", so as to wipe out the Japanese in this large forest.

Xie Yixiang didn't know what to do, nor did he know the plan of Deyizi, so he had to help General Sun dispatch the people. As expected, the remaining more than 400 remnants of the imperial court and King Heng were gone, and the more than 1,000 people who accompanied them heard that they were going to be divided into two teams, and as long as they still had the strength to hold a knife, the men and women would be transferred out to Gu Yuncheng, and they didn't want to say anything, even if they died, they would flee to Ninghai County in the north with their families.

I only heard someone among the people sneer: "The Japanese are fierce and brutal, don't say that we and the people, even you officers and soldiers are not opponents." This time, he asked us to turn back and go to Gu Yuncheng, and said that there was some clever plan to destroy the enemy, hmph! It's just nonsense!" Another person asked: "Protecting the family and defending the country, shedding blood and working hard, is the duty of the officers and soldiers, we and other ordinary people only plough the fields and weave mulberry, and they have never paid less than a penny in taxes every year, why should they shed blood and work hard for you?" Some people even said indignantly: "If it weren't for you defeated army to attract the pursuit and killing of the Japanese bandits, how could we have fallen to the point of being displaced and homeless?" This time, let you talk wildly, we will say that we will not go to Gu Yuncheng to die, we will never be separated from our families, and we will die together if we want to die!"

Fortunately, Yan Sidao had anticipated this situation and had already instructed Xie Yixiang. Seeing that the people were making more and more trouble, it was obvious that they had made up their minds, and vowed to advance and retreat together, General Sun and all the sergeants were helpless, and they were almost about to mutiny, Xie Yixiang immediately took a deep breath, stepped forward and said loudly: "What a majesty! Good ability! When the Dongying Japanese Kou were killed in front of them, they didn't see everyone so majestic, one by one, they just ran for their lives, panicked like a lost dog, and now in the face of their compatriots, in the face of the soldiers who have protected you all the way, everyone has grown in ability?" If you really have the ability, you will go to the Japanese to fight, what is the hell like this? Shut up for me!"

Her words carried internal strength, and wherever the words went, the people in front of her were shocked, and they suddenly didn't dare to say more. As Xie Yixiang's words fell, more than 1,000 people shut up in turn from front to back, and the entire forest gradually quieted down.

Seeing that the people have gone through displacement, not only lack food and clothing, but also half of them are injured, although Xie Yixiang can't bear it in his heart, but the plan to get a son has been ordered, and there is no other way to survive at this critical juncture. She had no choice but to harden her heart and say in a deep voice: "Who burned down your village? Who robbed your money and food? Who killed your relatives? Why, so quickly you forgot it? Or you don't remember at all—you don't remember who harmed us like this, you don't remember who is our real enemy, who is our real enemy, our real enemy! This is true of the foreign races of the past dynasties, and the same is true of today's Dongying Japanese Kou, just ask the pigs and dogs who are humiliated, and they still know how to resist at the moment of life and death, but we will only run away in the wilderness. Holding the head of the rat and running around, we will only sit and wait to be killed, we will only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and be willing to be slaves, is this the true character of our Han people? Is it what our ancestors in China have passed down to us for thousands of years?"

You must know that Xie Yixiang was originally born in Jiangmen, and has gone through battlefield battles in the past few days, and the sharpness of the generals has already been cultivated, coupled with the fact that De Yizi and Yan Sidao are exposed to the ears and eyes of the two on weekdays, they preach in public like this, and they are not a problem, and they are ashamed to ask the people, and they are intimidated by her momentum, and no one refutes them for a while. Xie Yixiang continued: "In the past dynasty, the alien race has been chaotic in China for more than 100 years, and the people dare not speak out, it is our dynasty that rose up to resist and finally expelled the Tartars from the country. Or do you want to serve these pirates as you did to the aliens of the previous dynasty?"

Speaking of this, Xie Yixiang became angry, and couldn't help but raise her voice and sneered: "This time, the four thousand people of the entire 'Ping Yu Coalition Army' have fought against the Japanese Invaders all the way to the present, and there are less than five hundred survivors, but they have never been defeated, and they still want to break through Gu Yuncheng and wipe out the enemy who has invaded the realm. This is not only our duty, but also to take revenge -- to avenge those fallen soldiers! And because of the separation of the wives of the Japanese and the destruction of the Japanese family, so that the blood and hatred are so deep, could it be that we are not able to do it? If you ask about the slight quarrels in the countryside on weekdays, everyone still holds a grudge and is bent on revenge, how can it be that when they meet the Japanese in the East, they completely lose their temper and dare not even think about it? Could it be that we Han people are inherently inferior? Could it be that those ferocious Dongying beasts are the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, your ancestors, and they should be worshiped by everyone with money and life?"

After a long time, a gray-haired old man boldly said, "It's not that I don't want revenge, but I ...... But the Japanese are too powerful, I will rush to Ninghai County in the north as soon as possible, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, if you want to ...... If I want to go to Gu Yuncheng with you, isn't that a way to kill myself?" The people around also echoed, saying: "Now that the matter is over, life or death, this last period of time is better to reunite our families, don't send us to fight Gu Yuncheng." Some people even said: "Miss Xie San is good, your father General Xie is a good person, and you must also be a good person...... Old woman, I'm getting old, don't let my daughter-in-law go to death, otherwise the old woman won't even have anyone to send her to death......"

In the face of the pleas of the people, Xie Yixiang was also extremely uncomfortable in her heart, although she didn't know what the arrangements for the so-called "Four Saints" to break the enemy were made, but from Fang Cai's scheduling, it was speculated that the "White Tiger" composed of the people and the remnants of the army that General Sun was going to lead was indeed going to Gu Yuncheng to die, so that the 1,000 reinforcements of King Heng would be stationed in Sanmen County and attack Gu Yuncheng in one fell swoop in the name of "Qinglong". It's just that the bureau of the heirs of Guigu has been set, and his own words have been said to this point, there is no doubt that he is ready to send an arrow and has to be sent, no matter how unbearable Xie Yixiang is in his heart, he can only be ruthless at this moment.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang gritted her teeth, squeezed out a smile on her face, and pretended to be relaxed: "Who told you that going to Gu Yuncheng will be sent to death? Everyone went this time to cooperate with the 100,000 troops newly sent by the imperial court to exterminate the Japanese invaders, and to take them by surprise and take advantage of the situation to kill all the Japanese in Gu Yun City! Hmph, this is a secret of the imperial court, since it is said that it is said that there is no need to hide it from you. How did Sun Xinwei, one of the 'Twelve Heavenly Kings' under the command of the rebel Heng King, lead everyone to death? General Sun, do you say yes or no?"

Hearing Xie Yixiang ask this, General Sun on the side could really be said to be burned in all his breath and had mixed feelings. Seeing the inquiring eyes of all the people, he had to sigh secretly and nodded with a wry smile. Xie Yixiang didn't wait for everyone to ask again, she immediately reached into her arms, took out the scroll that Yan Sidao had just handed over to her, held it above her head with both hands, and said loudly: "The emperor's holy purpose is here, everyone kneels down to receive the order!"

As soon as these words came out, not only the people present, but even General Sun and a cadre of sergeants were shocked. When he saw clearly what Xie Yixiang was holding in his hand, it was clearly an apricot yellow brocade, silk as the face, white jade as the shaft, and the auspicious clouds and cranes were secretly embroidered. In less than a stick of incense, thousands of people in the entire forest knelt on the ground in the dark, one by one, silent, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of air.

Xie Yixiang unfolded the holy decree in his hand with trembling hands, forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and read in a long voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, Zhao said: My 100,000 army is already on the way, and if I see a wolf, I will kill them, and not a single one will be left alive! Tell the people, prepare the knives, these guys are coming, kill them!"

When the words fell, the whole forest was silent, so quiet that even the sound of falling leaves could be heard. After a while, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Can't be wrong! Can't be wrong......! This is indeed the Emperor's decree, I recognize the tone...... It is the Emperor's decree! Long live - long live - long live!"

Immediately after that, a dozen people cheered, and gradually hundreds or thousands of people cheered together, all with tears in their eyes and smiles on their faces, dancing with joy, and then shouting in unison: "Hurrah—hooray—" and the morale was unprecedentedly high, filling the entire universe.
