Chapter 654: Slaughter of the City, I
"Slaughter the city?!" Zhang Hao was also shocked by these two words.
To say, in an environment similar to ancient warfare, such a thing as slaughtering a city is really inevitable. Although such cruel things are difficult for normal people to accept, they are not uncommon.
Back in the day, when the Ocean Group and the Kingdom of Qixia besieged the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Yanyun, they accidentally came to slaughter the city - although there was a blood demon that time.
For the imperial capital, the slaughter of the city was not only a means of deterrence, but also a political means, which could erase the influence of the previous regime to the greatest extent possible.
Zhang Hao was stunned for a while, and then gradually reacted, it was only six days, and the country of Canglan was killed.
Then, Zhang Hao, like everyone, gradually focused his attention on Huang Jiye.
However, compared with others, Zhang Hao's gaze is even more strange: how did the representatives of the Carefree faction 'assume' come to the meeting before the negotiation?
Let's say "our direct contact with the Ocean Group is broken", well, now it's really broken. It took six days for the Xuanzhen Sect to destroy the country of Canglan and cut off the direct connection between the Xiaoyao faction and the Ocean Group and the country of Qixia on land.
Huang Jiye was stunned for a long time, then suddenly let out a wow, turned around and rushed towards the outside of the negotiation hall.
Zhang Hao hesitated, got up slowly, and said to everyone: "In the Neutrality Rules, the Ocean Group and the Country of Qixia need to take care of ordinary people under the Qi Refining Period. Perhaps, we need to do something about it. ”
Saying that, Zhang Hao looked at Zhengyuanzi and said slowly: "Zhengyuanzi Daoyou, war really has nothing to do with ordinary people, I hope that this time to slaughter the city, the Xuanzhen Sect can show mercy to ordinary people." ”
After Zhengyuanzi heard the five words 'Zhengyuanzi Daoyou', his face flashed gloomy. Zhang Hao no longer calls himself 'senior brother'. The simple five words of 'Zhengyuanzi Daoyou' show the attitude of Zhang Hao and Dayang Group, which is really benevolent.
But Zhengyuanzi was silent for only a moment, and then said slowly: "I think that although the Ocean Group needs to do its best, war is closely related to everyone. There are no innocents in a large-scale war in a country or in a holy place!
Mr. Zhang's so-called ordinary people also provide taxes, food, and even industrial and commercial products for the country.
Of course, the Xuanzhen Sect is not an executioner who kills people without blinking, and we will not endanger ordinary people. ”
Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly, "Everyone, the Ocean Group and the Country of Qixia will organize a rescue team to set off as soon as possible to try to implement the provisions of the Neutrality Rules." ”
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he walked out of the hall, and at this time, Huang Jiye had become a small black dot in the sky. Zhang Hao really wanted to call him back, now that the country of Canglan has fallen, even if he returns, how much help he can have, it is just to send him to death.
It's better to stay here in the Ocean Group or the Country of Qixia, maybe you can form a government in exile or something, and learn the Flame Snow Mountain Sect. At the very least, I can gather my compatriots and so on, and keep a little hope.
However, Zhang Hao thought about it and still didn't speak. Forget it, more things are better than less things, although the Dayang Group and the Xuanzhen Sect are separated by grace, there is no need to disgust each other. In the previous robbery, everyone was acting together, each taking what he wanted, which was essentially a political transaction without any hatred.
It would be a bit too much to take the initiative to leave Huang Jiye and make an organization similar to the government-in-exile. The Flame Snow Mountain Sect took the initiative to come over, not the Ocean Group took the initiative to invite, these are two concepts.
Zhang Hao shook his head slightly, and came to the military department of the Dayang Group, and saw Li Shu, the only female general of the Dayang Group, who was staying here.
At present, Li Shu is mainly responsible for logistics, supply, rescue, communications, and some military intelligence work. Now, of course, I'm starting to take charge of more things.
But coming over today, Zhang Hao wanted Li Shu to be the 'Charity Ambassador of Dayang Group'.
Li Shu has a good image and is a woman, and as a charity ambassador, affinity and other natural advantages are available. In addition, she is also a general, and her commanding ability, adaptability, etc., are very within the reach of others.
Zhang Hao has talked to Li Shu several times in the past few days, but Li Shu has not given a positive answer. Today, Zhang Hao decided to 'catch ducks on the shelves'!
As soon as Zhang Hao knocked on the door, the door opened by itself. Li Shu sat behind the desk, and a female warrior who had just opened the door for Zhang Hao snapped and saluted, and then stood straight.
There is no doubt that such a concise and excellent military salute was of course pointed out by Zhang Hao's golden finger.
Li Shu sat upright, didn't get up, and looked at Zhang Hao with an unhappy expression: "I want to command the army, I don't want to be a charity ambassador! Why can you men fight, I have to take care of children!"
Zhang Hao rubbed his brows and sighed a little: "General Li Shu, Sister Li, how likely do you think it is that war will break out in the Ocean Group now?"
"But if I don't command the army, I won't have a chance to participate in a war!"
Zhang Hao rubbed his brows again, why do you say that you just want to fight! After thinking about it, Zhang Hao suddenly said: "Actually, have you ever thought that being a charity ambassador now will actually clash with local forces, with military and political personnel from all sides, and even with the army, which will be a test of your ability.
Of course, you can also train soldiers, recognize people, and screen the people and talents around you little by little in the process.
I want to be a charity ambassador for three to five years, and you will definitely gather a group of real military talents around you.
After three or five years, when there is a replacement, you will come back and continue to be your general. At that time, I asked you to lead a real elite, and you have the final say in the construction of the army. ”
"Really?" At this moment, Li Shu's whole person bloomed, with a look of pride and excitement.
Zhang Hao: ...... Acting and acting. But at this time, I can only nod.
Li Shu excitedly dragged out a box from under the desk, "Let's go, I've been ready for a long time, the personnel have been selected, this is the list." Hmph, saving the people who drifted with the tide in the chaos of war, it's handsome to think about!"
............
Li Shu directly took the two thousand people he selected, with some basic supplies, took the train, and rushed to the imperial capital of the Canglan Country.
When the train enters the land of the waves, it stops and checks again. The people of the Xuanzhen Sect had already controlled this place, and after determining Li Shu's identity and purpose, they let him go.
The train continued to move forward, but after entering the land of the waves, the speed of the train was reduced from 250 kilometers to 200 kilometers, and it roared again for half a day. The train finally arrived at Guijiang City, the imperial capital of the country of Canglan.
Before it was close, to be exact, there were still about 50 kilometers away, and Li Shu's face became solemn. The desolate atmosphere of war had already overwhelmed her.
She has also experienced wars, mainly when the country of Qixia unified the West. But at that time, the country of Qixia mainly attacked the royal family, nobles, etc., and there was no excesses against the people, and even the Ocean Group and the country of Qixia still strongly supported the people.
But it's different here!
Here, a horrific massacre has just taken place!
The secretary next to him pulled out a newspaper issue: "Before the Spring Festival last year, the emperor of the Canglan Kingdom made a statistic that the number of people in the city has exceeded 1 million, and the population of the entire Guijiang City has exceeded 2.2 million!"
If you slaughter the city, how many people will you kill......"
Li Shu didn't speak, she looked at the miserable world outside the train, but a faint sympathy and pity emerged in her heart.
At this time, it has been more than two days, almost three days, since the Xuanzhen Sect occupied Guijiang City. During these times, I wonder if the massacre continues?
Just looking at the wandering crowd on both sides of the track, Li Shu was full of worry about the city that was already faintly visible.
The train began to slow down, and the tracks ahead were full of debris. The front of the train opened the formation of clearing debris and moved forward firmly.
A city that seemed awkward to Li Shu slowly appeared in sight.
The city still retains its walls, but outside the walls, a number of tall buildings have been built, but none of them have exceeded the height of the walls.
The walls are 100 feet high and are made entirely of huge rocks. The highest floor around is only 200 meters high, and most of them are tens of meters high.
Today, many buildings are damaged, and even the tall city walls have collapsed.
When the distance was closer, I could already see the army of the Xuanzhen Sect, I could see the tall new artillery, I could see the transformation period of the sky patrol, and I could see the sword light that flashed from time to time, and brought a scream of despair.
The train slowly stopped outside the city wall, and a general from the Xuanzhen Sect came to inspect and hand over. The last god transformation master came to Li Shu and said coldly:
"General Li Shu, you are only allowed to help ordinary people who have not yet reached the foundation building period, not including the nobles. ”
Li Shu nodded slowly: "Don't worry." I am clear about the terms and will act in accordance with them. ”
"Okay. I will be by the general's side in the future and will be responsible for mediating various matters until the general leaves here. ”
Li Shu nodded, no longer talking to Zheng Binzi, but began to command his team, move the supplies on the train, and station them on the spot. You are not prepared to enter the city, just rescue outside the city.
The flag of the Ocean Group fluttered, only below it there was a smaller flag that read:
【Dayang Group】
【Charitable Relief】
Two lines, eight words.
On the ground, there are various small flags, about 1.8 meters high, which are easy for pedestrians to see, and some volunteers from all walks of life and even students of Dayang Group began to shout around:
"Dayang Group charity assistance, all ordinary people who are not in the foundation building period and are not military and political aristocrats, whether old or young, can come to rest and eat for free.
Dayang Group will assist you to resume production and rebuild your family's business. ”
The slogan was shouted for a long time, but no one responded to it. In this environment of slaughtering the city, what kind of charity relief suddenly popped up, no matter how you look at it, it feels like a horror movie.
