Chapter 3 Blood Debts
Emperor Shaoshang ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, aspiring to hegemony, led the seven armies of the Xia Dynasty to destroy the four kingdoms......
My two sons are the leaders of the Yong'an Forbidden Army, not to mention how majestic they are. ”
"Hmph. He Ming couldn't help but interject next to him: "As far as your child is good, my youngest son is the commander of a thousand people of the Black Tiger Army, and he became a thousand commanders after only two years of enlistment, which of the Black Tiger Army does not know the name of my child." That's a little bit of accumulation of real combat exploits. ”
When the coalition forces surrounded Yong'an, all the forbidden troops were good men, and which one would be worse than the other four armies! You must know that you are an old man, or the Yong'an Forbidden Army can save you, don't scold your mother if you get cheap!"
Xia Hai said and said, almost rolled up his sleeves and He Ming, He Ming hurriedly smiled bitterly and pressed Xia Hai's shoulder, "Alas, how could I have that meaning." So old, and so grumpy. ”
Xia Yu's two sons are also heroic, fighting bloodily until the last moment, the poor family is obviously close at hand, but they haven't seen each other for a few years, and they are separated by yin and yang. He Ming's youngest son, Zhao Qi, also recognized that He Lei, the only one of the 1,000-person generals surnamed He in the Black Tiger Army, was only seventeen years old.
This tossed for a long time, and Zhao Qi spoke out to dissuade him a few times, and only then did he finish listening to the modern history of the Xia Dynasty (Xia Hai and He Ming versions) in the evening.
After the destruction of the Imperial City, the Four-Nation Alliance met with Yong'an to discuss how to divide the territory of Great Xia equally. Because of the divine decree and the hints of the three sects, no one dares to touch the land of eternal peace. But the four countries will not stop there, and after sending off the three helpers, they privately decided to plunder Yong'an City.
Most of the coalition forces were prisoners under the Seventh Army of Great Xia, and while they were working hard to loot the people's fat and ointment, they released all the fears and resentments in their hearts against the Seven Armies of Great Xia on the people as if they were starting a competition. If it weren't for the iron law set by Wu Zhi, the famous general of Shu State, and killed several groups of soldiers, he would have been able to curb the atrocities of slaughtering the people.
Within seven days of stationing in Yong'an City, the allied troops dug three feet into the ground and even smashed open the walls, and Yong'an City passed through like a locust plague. The coalition forces also have no barracks, they all live in the homes of the people, and they act as a prestige every day, bully men and women, and draw swords against each other if they neglect each other......
When they left, the wealth plundered by the four countries was more than rich, and the carriage like a long dragon drove from the four city gates into the distance. Each soldier wore gold and silver, carried a beautiful woman in his arm, and even carried dozens of necklaces on his spear. Many of the officers were followed by rows of Yong'an Zhuangding carrying treasures, and they rode on tall horses to talk and laugh on their return journey, and only need to hold a hemp rope in their hands to bring the wealth of several generations back to their hometowns......
After the catastrophe, there were only more than 100,000 old and young women and children left in the millions of Yong'an people, and less than half of them were captured as slaves, but more fell at home forever......
Wu Zhi witnessed all this tragedy, but he could not do anything, as did the soldiers of other countries, and his weak orders would only cause dissatisfaction and even mutiny among the soldiers. When he left Yong'an City, Wu Zhi had no property, the only sword was a mar, and after bowing to Yong'an City three times, he said to his deputy:
"When the army is defeated, the figure is hooked.
bullying the people, but like a tiger and wolf.
It's chilling. You and the Seventh Army of the Xia Dynasty are incomparable.
When I return, I will return to my hometown, and I will be ashamed to be with you......"
The royal families of the four kingdoms who returned to the dynasty in triumph jointly issued a wanted notice, and chased and killed the fleeing Daxia officers all over the mainland, promising heavy benefits. Although the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty can't kill them all, the Four Kingdoms won't let them have a good time, bring shackles, and serve forever.
The Taoist, the Buddha...... This is what you have promised, one person will do things, and one person will be responsible for deception! Where is your conscience when hundreds of millions of people in Daxia have suffered? Hypocrites of sanctimonious manners!
Listening quietly, Zhao Qi waited by the side until sunset, then said goodbye to the two old men, and walked back briskly along the road he came. Zhao Qi clenched his hands, for fear that the blood would drip out, but he didn't go far, the blood seeped out of his fingers, and in a corner where there was no one, Zhao Qi threw the blood in his palm on the wall and rushed home.
The biggest impact on Zhao Qi's heart was not the blood debt, not the old man's ability to see through the red dust, but when the old man talked about Emperor Shaoshang, he was bound to praise him. They are powerless poor people, they can't hate anyone, they can only be open-minded, but they should be fearless of the dead, Zhao Qi thought that the people of Yongan scolded him endlessly, but he didn't expect that there was only regret and regret.
At the door of the house, Zhao Yuxin held a book in her left hand, and held a burning stick in her right hand to practice calligraphy on the stone slab.
"Little beggar, you have the ability! Now you dare not go home for dinner, where is the lunch solved?"
Although she didn't expect Zhao Qi to say anything, Zhao Yuxin still asked first, and then prepared to do it, after all, it is not a woman's style to make a move without finding fault.
"Imperial City!"
Zhao Qi walked solemnly, and went into the house without looking back, and only when he entered the door did a childish voice float out.
"Huh?"
Zhao Yuxin was so shocked that her mouth became O-shaped, did I hallucinate? The little beggar talked to me. Zhao Yuxin, who reacted, threw the burning stick and ran into the house.
"Mother-in-law, I'm back. Thanks to her mother-in-law for taking care of her over the years, Qi'er has nothing to repay, please accept Qi'er's three worships. ”
I saw Zhao Qi respectfully kneeling in front of Granny Lan, and kowtowed three times meticulously, Granny Lan's lips trembled excitedly, and she didn't know how to speak, so she had to step forward and hug Zhao Qi, and the hot tears rolled down.
"It's good if you're not stupid! You child, you are your mother-in-law's child, what do you want to thank, get up quickly, the ground is cold. ”
After speaking, he gently picked up Zhao Qi, wiped his forehead for Zhao Qi distressedly, and patted Zhao Qi's shoulder with great relief.
"Little beggar, why do you speak? Come here, call my sister to listen. ”
Before Zhao Yuxin could tilt her head, she was slapped aside by Granny Lan, "Go and go, call another day, don't scare your brother." ”
At dinner, Zhao Yuxin couldn't hold back her words, "Little beggar, why do you suddenly speak?"
Although Granny Lan spoke out to stop the reckless Zhao Yuxin, there was still a trace of worry in her eyes, seeing this, Zhao Qi said with a smile:
"Mother-in-law, Sister Xin'er, I could have spoken, but I didn't want to say it before. I passed out today by a fruit, and when I woke up, I was able to speak. ”
"Hehe, I didn't want to talk before, you used to be really stupid, you don't need to put gold on yourself, you can't wash it in vain. What kind of fruit do you eat, and do you have two for your sister. ”
"Look at you, what do you look like, you have forgotten all the rules I taught you?"
Granny Lan knocked on Zhao Yuxin's head with chopsticks, "Qi'er, don't listen to your sister's nonsense, do you feel unwell now?" You can't eat anything indiscriminately!"
Listening to Granny Lan's words, Zhao Qi's heart warmed, ignoring Zhao Yuxin, who was pretending to be a grimace, and looked at Granny Lan with sincere eyes, "Mother-in-law, I'm fine." That fruit, it should... There should be no side effects. ”
"Well, if you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell your mother-in-law!"
At night, hearing that the mother-in-law next door and Zhao Yuxin were asleep, Zhao Qicai slowly got up and put on a long robe and came to the courtyard, this is a habit he has developed over the years, in the years of marching and fighting, whenever he needs to make a major decision, he always has to walk around in the big tent, and the old man will consciously let him think alone, and he will go to drink and fight with the soldiers.
