Chapter 272: Burning Hearts and Destroying Thousands of Armies

There is no moon in the sky tonight, and the night sky is deep and dark, but the entire Yangzhou city is full of fire.

Zhao Yu and Zhao Min stood side by side on the eaves of a pavilion, and on the street not far from their feet, countless people roared back and forth. Once the people like lambs break out, the destructive power that bursts out is like a huge wave and flood, and no one can stop it.

It has been two hours since Zhao Yu led the Haisha Gang to loot all the big households in Yangzhou City. Because of the Miao army's siege of the city, so far Yangzhou city government has not organized effective containment means, with the gradual spread of the riots, the entire city is almost completely paralyzed, the news can not be transmitted at all, not to mention, even the government has been broken by some ulterior motives of the people, many officials of the government office or see the opportunity to hide early, or die in the chaos of the people.

With no one in charge of the overall situation, the riots spread. The rioters broke through the deep mansion compounds everywhere, and vented the many dissatisfaction and ** accumulated in this life in the burning and looting all the way, and only acted on the instinct of greed, completely lost their minds, and the crazy and terrifying appearance, even if it was Zhao Yu, the initiator, felt awe-inspiring in his heart.

Several people dragged a man with a sly smile on his face to run on the street, the man couldn't help wailing, it seemed that he had been dragged a long distance, the skin and flesh were ground by the rough ground and the flesh was blurred, revealing the beating white muscles, leaving a long blood mark everywhere. In the other direction, two seventeen or eighteen-year-old young men smashed the back door of a mansion with an axe, and one of them grabbed a screaming flower girl and dragged her into a dark corner. The cracking sound sounded, and the woman's screams became more and more frightened.

Such tragedies are staged everywhere in Yangzhou City, which is unbearable.

Zhao Yu closed his eyes, as if to convince himself, and said softly: "In the era of changes and turbulence of the sun and the moon, no matter how loud and bright the slogan is, there are very few ordinary people who can benefit. Human life is as cheap as a mustard, and they have no future. Even if you are lucky enough to survive this catastrophe and survive. And then you will be exploited by the profiteers!"

Zhao Min listened to Zhao Yu's deep voice and said: "In this case, what is the difference between those in power, whether they are Han or Mongolian? Why do they have to shed so many blood and tears in vain because of those illusory national righteousness?"

"It's not the same. After all, there is a difference. ”

Zhao Yu shook his head. said: "No matter what a beautiful rich family. You can tolerate a ruined son who does not keep his family business, but he will never allow outsiders to come and snoop on him! You Mongolians are outsiders, don't say that the monarch is mediocre. Even the wise emperor is sitting in the country, but there is still no way to defend this Shenzhou Middle Earth. Rather than enemies, this is my bottom line. Therefore, even if I cut off the possibility of plotting against the country, as long as I am famous, I will definitely expel you Mongols from Middle-earth!"

"For this reason, even if the corpses are all over the field and the blood is flowing and the pestle is flowing, don't you care?"

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "The issues related to the bottom line of principles can no longer be weighed by the benefits and disadvantages of gains and losses. Minmin, come and take a look, this prosperous Yangzhou is built by my Han people brick by brick, tile, grass and tree, but who enjoys all this? When I was a child, I visited your house for the first time, and when I saw those Han people living like rats on the streets of Dadu, my heart was like a thousand insects. This piece of land, we grew up in Sri Lanka and managed it with heart, but the prosperous scenery has nothing to do with us. I can't bear this pain anymore!"

Listening to Zhao Yu's deep voice, Zhao Min unconsciously recalled the memorable madness and stubbornness of the young man when he first met Zhao Yu, and fell silent for a while.

The two of them were in the midst of this noisy and chaotic city, but they were relatively silent. After a while, Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where to go?"

"Let's find a place to live for the time being, and then find an opportunity to kill Yang Wan. Zhao Yu laughed and said: "Although I am happy to face you every day, if things drag on for a long time, my Chuzhou will not be good." ”

Zhao Min nodded, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he walked to a secluded place with Zhao Yu.

The two walked through the chaos, and Zhao Yu was also taking the opportunity to observe carefully.

At this time, the chaos in the city was everywhere, and the rioting people fought with the slaves of the major households, and fought with the Miao army, which had long been dispersed. The Miao army fought in a different place, which can be regarded as a rare force in the world, but now it is overwhelmed by the flood-like riot people, and there is no resistance to it. The lucky ones can get out, and the unlucky ones are torn to pieces by the angry crowd, and they die without a whole body, paying a terrible price for the sins they have created in the past.

In the past, when Zhao Yu read history books, he often saw that the righteous army was so powerful that it easily defeated several times his own counterinsurgency, and he was always suspicious. No matter how unbearable the men and horses of the court are, they are always a real army, how can they be no match for a group of farmers who have just put down their hoes and picked up arms, with incomplete armor and no experience?

It wasn't until he saw the scene of Yangzhou City that Zhao Yu had an answer to this question in his heart. There is no invincible division in the world, even if the elite of a hundred battles with strict formations and skilled skills may not be able to be sure that the enemy will be able to defeat a group of ordinary people who are burned red by the fire of **. The so-called morale is nothing but the burning desire and unwillingness in people's hearts. If there is a reason to fight, there will be a war that will be won!

There is a slum in the northeast of Yangzhou City, where simple plank houses made of wood and thatch leak everywhere, and the rooms are extremely messy, mostly with gaps in clay pots and broken bowls, and there is nothing decent at all. The cramped alleyway sewage flowed sideways, and there was an unbearable stench. Or maybe it was because it was full of destitute people, and there was nothing attractive about it, but this place was saved from the turmoil of the city, and there were no red-eyed mobs who came to loot and destroy.

Zhao Yu and Zhao Min walked over, they had been around the city for most of the week, and they only found this quiet place.

Standing in front of the alleyway and smelling the pervasive stench, Zhao Yu frowned and turned his head to look at Zhao Min. The corners of Zhao Min's mouth twitched, and he said: "Don't underestimate me, although I am used to living in a luxurious manor, I can also stand the barren land." When the rebel party was exterminated in Liaodong, he lived in a worse environment than this. If the supplies can't be delivered on time, even the voles dug out of the dirt will eat a few of them!"

When Zhao Yu heard this, after smiling, he didn't say anything more, and walked into the alley first.

Although the houses were cramped and cramped, they were not noisy, and even strangely quiet, and perhaps the destitute people who lived here had already joined the ranks of the homeless people who burned and looted. Zhao Yu and Zhao Min tiptoed into the depths of the dark alley, Zhao Min followed closely behind Zhao Yu, although she was so resolute before, but the woman was ** clean, and she always couldn't stand such a dirty environment. It's just that she doesn't want to show her cowardice in front of Zhao Yu, so she can't bear it.

When he was walking, Zhao Min suddenly bumped into Zhao Yu's back, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground, and couldn't help but say coquettishly: "Walk well, what do you stop doing!"

Zhao Yu didn't speak, just pointed ahead, Zhao Min looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a figure standing in the corner in the dark. It wasn't until I listened carefully that I heard a hint of rapid breathing.

"It's nothing, it's just a kid. ”

Zhao Yu observed for a moment, continued to walk forward, and only when he got close did he see the child's appearance clearly.

The child was ragged and his face was black, but his eyes were shining with vigilance. He clutched a sharpened wooden thorn in his hand, and there were still traces of blood on the wooden thorn, and the cat seemed to be ready to pounce at any moment.

Zhao Yu took a few steps forward and said softly: "Little brother, don't be nervous, we are just passing by, and there is no malicious ......."

Before he finished speaking, the young man suddenly roared and rushed forward, like an offended little beast, and the wooden thorn stabbed Zhao Yu in the chest. Zhao Yu was annoyed by the cruelty of this young man, and suddenly slashed out a palm, only to hear a snap, and the young man fell into the sewage.

Zhao Yu was about to leave with Zhao Min, but the young man did not relent, jumped up from the sewage again, and was about to rush towards Zhao Yu again. With a stretch of his arm, he casually crushed the wooden thorn that the young man poked at the door in front of him, and said coldly: "I have explained clearly, you young man still refuses to give up, the methods are ruthless, and you can't find death?"

"Phew......"

The young man looked resentful and glared at Zhao Yu angrily.

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows, his palm was about to wave, and he was about to split it, but he heard a weak voice in the darkness: "Hero, forgive me, my son is young and ignorant, and he offended your old man......"

"Dad, don't speak!" the boy finally spoke, shouting into the darkness.

Zhao Yu turned his head to look and saw only a person crawling out of the darkness. The man seemed to have broken his leg, so he could only hold the ground with both hands, crawled to Zhao Yu's feet with a panicked face, and kowtowed again and again: "The hero forgives the sin, the hero forgives the sin!"

"Forget it, just a poor father and son. Zhao Min gently tugged at Zhao Yu's sleeve on the side and said in a low voice.

Zhao Yu put down the young man and said coldly: "Now that the city is chaotic, you have such a violent temperament, be careful that there will be trouble." ”

When the man with the broken leg heard this, his face suddenly showed gratitude and joy, and he said in a low voice: "The hero doesn't know, my son found me a little food outside, and I was afraid that you would come to fight for it, so I blocked the way." But he couldn't see that you two were well-dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, so how could you care about that little bit of wine and meat. ”

The young man hurriedly stepped forward to help his father up, looking at Zhao Yu's eyes still with a hint of vigilance, he only nodded and said, "Thank you for sparing me." ”

Hearing this explanation, Zhao Yu's face turned slightly pale, and he waved his hand to the father and son: "Go back." ”

The young man's father thanked Zhao Yu again and again, and then walked back with the help of his son.

Zhao Yu looked at the back of the father and son, and felt a lot in his heart, he had been running around outside all these years, but he had no time and opportunity to fulfill his filial piety under his father's knees. Such a filial young man really made him ashamed.

The father and son walked into a board room a few zhang away, Zhao Yu was about to leave, his eyes glanced at a thing by the door, his face suddenly changed, beckoned to Zhao Min, and walked forward quickly. (To be continued.) )
