Chapter Eighty-Five: The Massacre
Sichuan County Pingchen, Fuzhou Prefecture. \。 qВ5, c0М\\ Tong County 4, 11,000 households.
Linchuan was formerly located in Linchuan County. Pingchen, the county was abolished, and the county was restored in three years. There are copper mountains and yellow mountains. There is dream water. There are five chapter mountains in the south city. Chongren Liang placed Bashan County, leading Dafeng, Xin'an, Bashan, Xinjian, Xingping, Fengcheng, Xining seven counties. Pingchen, the county and the county were abolished, and the county was placed. Shao Wu opened the emperor for 12 years.
"Boom, boom!" a series of earth-shattering loud noises, and trebuchets roared up. The front row of the army began to move like a tidal wave, advancing towards the city walls.
The two sides attacked each other with arrows and firearms, and the other side guarded very tenaciously, condescendingly, with sufficient arrows and stones, and the siege of the city lasted for 19 days, and the Tang army had suffered more than 9,000 casualties, of which at least 4,000 were permanently damaged.
Yang Tang has occupied nine counties with 150,000 troops, and this time the army led by Yang Xuanning alone has reached 50,000, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.
Among the generals of the Yang and Tang courts, Luo Shixin wanted to take Jiangxia, while Zhou Feng and Feng Yuanding guarded their key points, Ding Xingbang followed as a trusted general, and Lin Baohu, Miao Haichao, and Cao Yinglong, the head of the original four, also went to war.
I thought that there was only one Linchuan County, and there were only 11,000 households, just a small county, and it should have surrendered without a fight, but this county would rather die than surrender, desperately resisting, until this moment, Yang Xuanning still couldn't understand why the other party resisted like this - this Ning Zhi was hopeless and had no strategic significance.
By the nineteenth day of the day, all the divisions had already fought a real fire, and in the face of heavy casualties, the moat had finally been leveled, and one of the walls of the city that had been concentrated on the attack was under the giant trees and trebuchets. Also crumbling.
Even so, under the enemy's stone rolling, bows and arrows, boiling water, and boiling oil, after half a day, hundreds of people were wounded or killed and withdrew from the battlefield, so that Yang Xuanning really felt that he was in the war. How little is the power of the individual.
If it weren't for the fact that it was not of strategic significance at all, he would have to wonder if it was a conspiracy, but no matter how well prepared the city was, it was a county town after all, and now the boulders, bows and arrows, boiling water, and boiling oil in the city were about to dry up, and the nearly 10,000 troops in the city also suffered more than half of the casualties.
The city is just around the corner. Yang Xuanning heard the report, and under the heavy protection of the guards, he personally galloped to a high platform to observe. But I saw several officials above, shouting hoarsely.
"Your Majesty, we have learned that this is Deng Nanyang. Our army came and ordered him to take refuge, Deng Nanyang told the generals about the situation, and at this time, the sixth general who had contacted us thought that the situation was not good. Heartbeat. said: The enemy is strong and I am weak. The disparity between the outnumbered is too great to win. It's better to drop early. Ding Xingbang said solemnly.
"Well, what about in the future?" Yang Xuanning said calmly.
Deng Nanyang pretended to promise and promised to discuss it again tomorrow. The next day, Deng Nanyang hung a portrait of the Son of Heaven in the lobby, led the soldiers to worship, and solemnly swore an oath to live and die with the lonely city. At this moment, Deng Nanyang suddenly ordered the six generals to kneel in front of the portrait of the Son of Heaven, and then announced their surrender. The crowd was outraged and denounced their shameless acts. Deng Nanyang immediately ordered the six people to be pushed out and beheaded to stabilize the morale of the army. ”
Hearing this, Yang Xuanning suddenly remembered Zhang Xun in the history of the Tang Dynasty, this person guarded the > to resist the rebellious army, held the lonely city for nearly a year, there was no food in the city, killed his wife and concubine for meat, and gave it to the soldiers.
However, Yang Xuanning was not a rebel at that time, he had weapons and enough troops, Yang Xuanning would never give this person this opportunity, and after observing it for a long time, he smiled coldly: "Since you want to be a dead minister, you can't do it if you are a widow." The order will go down, from now on, there will be no surrender, the city will be washed overnight, and the woman will take it!"
This was tantamount to allowing the slaughter of the city, and allowing the majority of the county's population to be in the countryside at this time, but there were also 20,000 people in the city, which was a cruel order.
Hearing Yang Xuanning's words, Lin Baohu, Miao Haichao, and Cao Yinglong, who were originally thieves, suddenly replied, but Ding Xingbang was immediately shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is not possible, the king has always been benevolent and righteous since he started his army, so he can be a hero." If the city is slaughtered now, it may damage the benevolence of the king. ”
Yang Xuanning heard this, and first said softly: "Enter this direct advice, what a widow of the country." ”
This is to appease it.
But in the blink of an eye, he asked: "Is the widow a big deal now?"
"The king rose to the south, and he would lead nine counties, with tens of thousands of soldiers, all of whom were elite soldiers, of course, heavy. ”
"Is it mean for a widow to treat his subordinates?"
"The king has always been generous, and the ministers have been granted official positions one by one, although there is a change, without losing his wealth, and giving him land and residences, the ancient lord, it is difficult to have this grace!"
"Is the widow a thin name?"
"The king's grandfather is the king of Chu, after Yang Sugong, his father is also heroic, and his family background is even more family, how can it not be expensive? ”
"Have you plundered and wounded the people since the widows raised their armies?"
"The king has raised his army, strictly restrained his troops, never plundered his troops, and if he takes a land, he will appoint a county to appoint officials, appease the exiles, and renovate the farms
Persuasion, the people are happy, this is the royal road. ”
"In this case, the widow is powerful, the widow is gracious, the widow is famous, and the widow is right, why does this person want to stop our army. When he said this, his tone became more and more intense, fast and urgent: "Those who want to win the world must do the king and hegemony, and if the widow takes a county and a place, he must attack with a large army and fight again and again, is this still necessary?"
"Although there are millions of soldiers, it is not allowed to be consumed like this, thinking that when the Hu people invaded, where the victorious army towards, although there are a few battles, the county will fall to the wind. Whenever there is resistance, they will be slaughtered, and although the widows will never follow such tyranny, they can also follow the example of one or two, so that these county officials will not feel that the widows can be bullied. ”
"Do you really think that if you resist the widow first, you will be happy if you win, and you can also be exempted from the crime if you lose?" The widow will slaughter this city and warn the people of the world that if our army dares to resist, it will be destroyed immediately!" Speaking of this, he was already fierce, and looked at Ding Xingbang, revealing a murderous intent: "Moreover, our army was blocked here, with nearly 10,000 casualties. The morale of the soldiers is already low, if this strategy is not followed, how can they fight in the future?"
Ding Xingbang was silent, and then responded: "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”
Yang Xuanning saw that he agreed, and his heart was relieved. Although this will be rare, if you dare to disobey, you can only pull him down immediately and behead him.
The king's will has been decided, and whether it is right or wrong, there can be no doubt.
Since the order has been given to slaughter the city, there is naturally no need for scruples, and there is not much time, and all the trebuchets have arrived. And a large number of nearby people were driven here, and the people were on fire. All collected.
"Stone-throwing!"
An order was given, facing the city wall, dozens of oil bombs flew out, and suddenly. Inside and outside the city, dozens of thick puffs of smoke rose up, and there was not much time for the faint flames to rise up, straight into the air within dozens of miles.
When the smoke arrived, the enemy screamed. The boulder fell to the city. The roar continued. However, the enemy is stubborn. At this moment, the Tang army was still stubbornly resisting and blocking the tide pouring in.
Cao Yinglong was overjoyed at this time, the atmosphere in front of him was so familiar, he was wearing the armor of a general, holding a long knife, his eyes quickly swept over more than a dozen personal soldiers on the left and right, his eyes flashed with blood, and he shouted: "Listen, the king ordered the slaughter of the city, you wait to follow me into the city first, and take the wealth of women." ”
The surrounding generals and soldiers are all accustomed to this, and they are full of promises, and their morale is high.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, and a boulder with flames was falling on the city gate, which was strong enough to stand this, and immediately exploded into a large hole.
The Tang army was overjoyed and began to move inward like a tide, advancing towards the city gate.
There was not much time, the city was already in chaos, shouting and killing, the screams of the wounded, and the smell of burning corpses, the whole scene was like hell, many new soldiers had seen such a scene, they vomited, but under the leadership of the veterans, they threw themselves into every room, killed men, plundered women, and so on, and most of them slashed and killed for fun.
Suddenly, the sound of battle gradually died down, and the screams of women and children rose loudly.
This is a situation that has not been uncommon since ancient times, no matter which side, even if it is the so-called ancient kings, there are many, and it is not uncommon.
However, in the end, the Tang army strictly trained the goblin soldiers, even if it was such a massacre, there were a large number of people who inspected the city and sealed all their belongings, especially some household registration materials of the Taishou Mansion, etc., and almost at the same time, the fire extinguishing team also worked hard to extinguish the fire.
Stepping on the top of the city, Yang Xuanning stood outstanding, such people and others, there is no need to pity at all, if you pity it today, there will be several times more people who will die tomorrow.
Just standing on the wall, seeing the screams below, I can't help but feel a little pity.
Calm down, he saw the thousands of miles of wilderness under the city, the spring of May, and said with a smile at the moment: "These lands, fertile for thousands of miles, but unfortunately not developed, the widow has sent people, go south to seek rice seeds, don't look at this inconspicuous, this kind of rice seeds, especially suitable for the south, such as boiling paddy fields, when a bumper harvest, this is the widow's future kingship." ”
The generals didn't know anything about this nature, and they all looked at each other.
By the early morning of the next day, the fire had finally been extinguished, and at the end of the night, the soldiers who had washed the city were also exhausted, and hundreds of soldiers who were still excited were killed, and the teams returned to camp.
Deng Nanyang and others, together with his family and some personal generals and soldiers, were pulled to the field together. This person wanted to commit suicide, but was captured by the Tang army, and after the identification of the captive, it was indeed this person.
These hundreds of people sat there, knowing that they would definitely end up dead, the reason was very simple, because since even the city was slaughtered, it was impossible for them to live, of course, but they were not tied up, Deng Nanyang got up, in the tiger's eyes, walked a few steps around, looked into the distance, everyone saw him get up, and also got up, many people cried, Deng Nanyang said: "Don't be afraid, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the saint, death, life!"
These words also immediately reached Yang Xuanning's ears, and all the generals were moved, this kind of person who sees death as home, no one is not admirable, even in the hostile camp, it is the same.
Yang Xuanning was unmoved, and waved his hand.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of people had to step forward, kill the people in the city, gather them together, and slowly build them up, during which each layer was covered with loess.
into a large pile of corpses tens of meters above sea level.
This is the Jingguan, in order to show off the martial arts, gather the corpses of the enemy, seal the soil and form a high mound.
After defeating the enemy, he should leave a memorial to his children and grandchildren, so that they will not forget his martial arts, Yang Xuanning is deeply impressed, he has always believed that not only for his own war dead, but also to establish Valhalla. It is also necessary to establish Jingguan throughout the country to show the great achievements of the conquered land.
Tens of thousands of people worked together, and it was not completed until the afternoon, and suddenly, Tang Bing stepped forward and pulled out Deng Nanyang's family. Hundreds of people cried and shouted, and were pulled up to a pile of corpses fifty meters high, and when they got to it, the loess poured straight at them, and at first, they were still crying, and after waiting for a while, there was no sound, only the loess. You can also see the struggle inside.
Deng Nanyang even pulled it up directly, right on the loess, and buried his body in it. Waiting for Yang Xuan to go up, only the head was exposed, you know, although the head was exposed. But when a person is in the soil, it is impossible to breathe, and it is extremely painful to slowly hold his breath and die.
At this time, he was not dead, and he could no longer speak, but he looked at it angrily. Orbital tear. The blood was all shed.
The generals trembled. Even Cao Yinglong, he has always been tyrannical. There have been countless killings, but nothing like this has ever happened.
Yang Xuanning raised the whip in his hand, pointed to the head, and said with a smile: "You guys are thinking, it's too cruel, isn't it?"
All the generals were startled, and hurriedly said: "I don't dare to wait, only by acting like this can the people of the world know that those who disobey the king's army will be killed." ”
Yang Xuanning sneered, remembering in his heart that the past generations had acted like this, and they were all victorious.
This idea is worth thinking about, in history, is it true that all those who slaughter cities can win a great victory? Although this may not be, it does have a high percentage of victories.
The invasion of the Hu people, to the Tang, Jin, Mongol, Yuan, and Qing dynasties in the future, seems to be the same, and it must be carefully considered.
It's just that at this time, of course, he can't think about it, he just smiled and said to Deng Nanyang's head: "You ask for benevolence, and what grievances do you have, you have already made up your mind to break your family to resist me, and at this time, you should be full of joy when you receive this result!"
He also said, "Plant trees in this Jingguan to postpone future generations." ”
Then he turned around and ordered: "The historian wrote down today's events for me, and remembered this - I Huaxia, since the Yan Huang and rising, cutting thorns and thorns, crusading against the Quartet, only to get the world today, every foot and inch, are all bloody battles, not cultural merits, today the widow is mandated by heaven, since the ancient road, to warn future generations, this is the civil war of the Beijing view, not enough to win, the future of the frontier thousands of miles, if you can build more of this Beijing view, it means that our army is victorious, our clan is prosperous, and the widow should be very happy." ”
In less than five days, news came, and the nearby counties heard the news of this massacre, and they were shocked, and the nearby counties and counties sent people to surrender, and sure enough, the two counties were won without a fight.
Luling County Pingchen, Jizhou. Tong county four, 28,000 households.
Luling was formerly located in Luling County. Flat and old, the beginning of the great cause of relocation. Tai Heping Chen, called Xichang. In the eleventh year, the province of Dongchang entered and changed its name. Ancheng County was restored. Pingchen, the county was abolished, and the county was changed to Ancheng. Eighteen years later, it was said to be peaceful. There are Gengsheng Mountain and Changling. There is a new jade mountain.
Nankang County was opened in the ninth year of the emperor's reign. There are four counties and 12,000 households.
The old name was Nankang, and it was placed in Nankang County. Pingchen, the county is abolished. At the beginning of Daye, the county was renamed Yan and the county was found. There is a storage mountain. There is water. The old is called Ningdu, and the name is changed in the eighteenth year of the emperor. There is Shigu Mountain. It's all old and wasted, and it's on display. There are Jinji Mountain and Jun Mountain. Nankang used to say, and the name was changed at the beginning of the great cause. There are mountains, Shangluo Mountain, and mountains.
After getting the news, Yang Xuanning specially went up to the city wall, at this time, although a few days had passed, the city was still lifeless, and seeing this, an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
Suddenly, the past occupied all his thoughts, and he seemed to have changed back to the patient in his previous life, and back to the gangster on the streets of Yangzhou in the past, meager at that time, but full of longing and expectation for the future.
Maybe it was a demon, but he didn't care at all, just carefully savored this confusion and loss.
If there is no remorse, it is impossible, at that time, in the anger, he gave this order, and after calming down, he also felt impulsive, but if he did it again, he would still choose this way.
Without the prestige of slaughtering cities and exterminating the clan, how can you win the world?
Fighting for the world, he should have lost a lot of precious things, and if he really acts, he must naturally have no regrets, he couldn't help whispering:
What does the severed head mean today?
Starting a business is difficult and there are many battles.
This goes to Quantai to recruit the old department,
100,000 banners to kill Yama.
The northern country is ten years old,
This head must be hung at the gate of the country.
After the death of the kings of hard work,
Good news flies to be used as paper money!
A sound of horses' hooves urgently recalled his mind to reality, he lowered his head, looked down at the whole earth, and smiled, he had read before, the poems of those great generals in history, and felt that they revealed a pale and awe-inspiring meaning, which was by no means a simple experience that could be achieved.
Come on, I know, but that's it.
