Chapter 499 Cleaning
At the fifth hour, a team of strong men rushed towards the East City Gate and opened the East City Gate.◇↓
The people in the row of houses in front of the East City Gate looked at this scene strangely. There were only these strong men left in the Huanzhou City. Of course, Zhong Gu dared to keep them behind to defend the Huanzhou City, so their loyalty should not be questioned.
But this pace is wrong.
It is clear that we should open this city gate, okay?
If there are smart people, they feel that things are a little bit bad, but they don’t know what’s wrong. Then they understand what’s wrong.
In just a while, teams of Song troops broke in from outside the East City Gate. If they had walked for more than ten miles, it would take a while. However, if they were skating, it would not take long. Therefore, the other side continued to kill, and the third battalion of soldiers had been drawn out here and snatched Huanzhou City in advance to prevent any changes.
"Not good," said someone in the row of houses.
However, the Song army had quickly surrounded the house where they were, without saying a word, and even used rockets.
It’s not okay to hide in the house, and the house will immediately burn.
Forced by the Song army, they had to come out to surrender one by one. Someone asked angrily: "Why kill us?"
But before he could finish his words, dozens of arrows flew towards him and shot them into a hedgehog. The rest of them were so scared that their faces looked like earth, and they all lay on the ground and shouted for forgiveness.
Guo Qing then came over and said, "Catch them all and question them severely."
At this time, they still have a way out, and Guo Qing just wanted to get a confession.
One by one, the clerks next to him made records and then signed and stamped. This matter is not small. There must be evidence. Otherwise, the entire Huanqing Road soldiers would be given verbal talk in the future. Buying An Youru is the mainstream, and being tough is wrong!
The sky gradually became brighter and Zhongyi had not yet entered the city. Some people ran fast and ran into the mountains. These people also had to search and wipe out the maximum extent.
However, the news about the Snow Mud Castle reached Huanzhou.
Guo Qing was very sad when he heard this. Both of them were colleagues. They usually had a good relationship, but they didn’t expect that they would have had a drink together in the middle of the night yesterday, and this morning there was a separation of yin and yang.
At this time, the confession was almost recorded. Guo Qing was so sad that he said, "Everything was pushed out to behead him, and his head was hanging on the city gate."
It's not okay to shout for forgiveness.
If it weren't for these people, why did Wei Qingzong and so many Song dynasty soldiers suffer in the snow-milt castle?
The news spread quickly, and the entire Huanzhou vibrated, and then silence.
Not all Murong participates, and it is not necessarily Murong who participates in it. But one common feature is that it is closer to Huai'an Town, Xigu Fort and other villages. Why? Because it is equivalent to being close to the Xixia army.
Some of the people who participated were indeed rebellious, and some were bewitched. The main reason was that the number of Xixia troops was too large. They were persuaded and frightened, thinking that the Song Dynasty would lose Huanqing this time, so they participated. Some were coerced, and I didn't want to, but the elders and clan leaders in the village agreed and they had to participate.
Therefore, there are few people in the rear villages in Huanzhou. But it does not mean that they support the Song Dynasty. Most of the people who truly support the Song Dynasty also obeyed the orders of Qingzhou and retreated to the rear. Therefore, their attitude is "neutral". We do not betray the Song Dynasty, but we will not sit idly by and watch the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers "do whatever they want". In addition, hundreds of thousands of Xia troops on the front are also their confidence.
This silence now is actually a stalemate and a silent protest.
If it weren't for the arrival of the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Battalion of Zhongyi, it might have even caused riots because the officers and soldiers killed so many people.
It was here unknowingly at noon.
Zhang Qi's order also arrived in Huanzhou.
Guo Qing jumped up: "What should I do if Huanzhou?"
It turned out that Zhang Qing's order was to let him take over the 13th Brigade of Wei Qingzong and station in Xiguzhai. If this order was issued in more than ten days, Guo Qing would not reject it, but now Guo Qing is thinking about ending the matter in Huanzhou and immediately return to Qingzhou and join Wang Ju's general offensive plan.
The soldier who sent the order said, "Prime Minister Zhang Tong said again, if General Guo is unwilling, let Xiao pass on another sentence, the right side and the top of Xigu Village, and the top of the top."
In fact, this soldier was confused. What does this mean?
However, Guo Qing's eyes lit up. Xiguzhai was built earlier. This fort was built during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty. Its location is on a circular mountain twilight at the intersection of two small rivers in Yuancheng and rural areas in Huan County. Its area is not large, only more than fifty acres. But what is there in Yuancheng and rural areas? Yuanchengchuan! What is the road in Huanzhou? Yuanchengchuan, Qingzhou Qiaochuan!
However, because this fort is too small and the Yuancheng River is too wide, it cannot strangle the Yuancheng River. This is also the reason why the private salt flooded this road before. It was blocked and could not be killed, so I had to see a private salt prisoner transporting trucks of salt from Yanzhou to the territory of the Song Dynasty.
Of course, it will not be able to block the Xixia army, but it can stab in the back when it is critical. Besides, what is above Xigu Village? Papaya Castle! What is above Papaya Castle? Cute Gate Sancha!
"But I have few troops," Guo Qing said again.
Originally, Wei Qingzong had only officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion, but the two battalions were almost destroyed in the Xueni Fort, and there were only officers and soldiers of the third battalion in Xigu Village.
The soldiers who sent the order continued: "Prime Minister Zhang Tong also said that Huanzhou was initially determined that some tribes would be shocked. If you make a request at this time, you will definitely get the support of some strong people. At the same time, today is the seventh day after Xixia's emergence in Dashun City, and Xigu Village cannot be delayed."
The messenger naturally didn't know its meaning, but Guo Qing could understand it.
For the time being, Renduolingding didn't know that there was any change in the rear, but he added 10,000 reinforcements to the Snow Mud Fort. He had a good idea. Zhong Gu had not had many troops in his hands, and some troops were divided into each fort on the front line. He rescued Wei Qingzong last night and brought the remaining troops out of Huanzhou City. So if Zhong Yi, the Song army's magic weapon, came to the sky, this morning, Huanzhou would definitely fail. Huanzhou's failure means that the rebels would get a lot of wealth and materials.
With this momentum, the momentum of rebellion will inevitably expand, and the forts and villages in the rear will be in a hurry one by one, and Zhonggu can only return to suppress it. At that time, Zhonggu will only suppress it alone. If more than 10,000 Xixia troops suddenly rushed into Huanzhou, the entire Huanzhou might be captured by Renduolingding.
But it won't be hidden for a long time. In fact, at noon, Rendu Lingding had not received the news yet. He would have doubts. Logically, because the main force of Xixia was in the direction of Dashun City, Rendu Lingding's top priority was Meli Fort, so that the three armies could meet. The next one of Meli Fort was Rouyuan Village, Liyuan Fort, and finally Dashun City. Then the road behind was unobstructed, and the heavy troops in Xixia could launch an attack towards Qingzhou without any worries.
Once Qingzhou is lost, Huanzhou loses its support, and it is lost without attacking. It doesn’t make any sense to divide troops to attack Xigu Village at this time. It’s like attacking Donggu Village. But Xixia has a lot of troops, which is enough for them to divide troops into many places, and Xixia is unwilling to delay the time for too long, so it’s really hard to say.
Therefore, the leader of Xigu Village must be determined and a prestigious and capable general. Who else can be competent except Guo Qing?
Guo Qing handed over the matters in Huanzhou to Parliament Cao Tong and went to Xiguzhai.
In the afternoon, the group came to Huanzhou City and asked when they met: "Prime Minister Cao Tong. What happened last night?"
"They colluded with Xixia and tried to cooperate inside and outside. Last night, when the troops in Huanzhou were empty, they captured Huanzhou City. They echoed the people of Xixia and were suppressed by our officers and soldiers." Cao Tong said.
"But what I heard was that they came to Huanzhou to support the officers and soldiers, not to seize the city."
"no……"
"Prime Minister Cao Tong, don't talk to them anymore. If the court deals with this, you will not accept it. There is a 300,000 army of Xixia. You can gather troops again and come to attack Huanzhou City or other fortresses." Zhong Yi said on the side.
"Who are you?" an old man said angrily.
"He is the younger brother of Zhong Zhijun. This time, the army was placed into the 18th Brigade on the Huanqing Road. General Zhong is also the general of the 10th Brigade. His ranking is still above Zhong Zhijun." Criminal Cao Tong explained.
"But there must be an explanation." The old man's tone softened.
"Whatever you say, whoever has a big fist will have a saying. In the past, you were indulged in lawlessness because you have many tribes and are forced by Xixia. The court is afraid that border affairs will change. But now you dare to rebel, and the court has to fight to the death."
In fact, Zhongyi's attitude is still good. If Guo Qing was here, with his friendship with Wei Qingzong, he might have to kill someone again on the spot. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Qing immediately transferred Guo Qing to Xigu Village. Although he had the same view as Wang Ju, both kindness and power were both kindness and power were the auxiliary. It would be best to end here and not expand it any more.
"By the way, there is a piece of information just sent here. Zhao Pu, the inspector of the Zhenrong Army, led the officers and soldiers of the 10th Battalion, to enter Huanzhou from Xiyao City. At dusk, he could reach various forts in Huanzhou." Zhong Yi said.
However, what Zhao Pu brought were the officers and soldiers of Yuanzhou, not the officers and soldiers of the Zhenrong Army.
However, this news made the people all fear each other.
Huanzhou was not the main attack direction of Xixia. Zhonggu's army was on the front line. In addition, the original subordinates of Wei Qingzong did not seek merit, but wanted no mistakes. They would probably not have any problems in defending several fortresses on the front line.
Therefore, the current rear is equivalent to the number of soldiers of the Ninth Battalion who have become more friendly and friendly out of thin air. In addition, the officers and soldiers of the Tenth Battalion in Yuanzhou have become soldiers of the Ninth Battalion. Whoever dares to move, whoever moves will seek death.
The old man's tone softened again and said, "But many of the soldiers in the village were shot dead by the officers and soldiers. What should I do in the future?"
"I will only say one thing. In the winter of the second year of Zhiping, twenty miles west of Weirong Fort on the border of the Deshun Army, there was a Tongjia Fort, where thousands of foreign households lived. Because the Western Xia had heavy taxes, the people of Tongjia Fort had the intention of following our dynasty, but the late emperor never accepted the peace between the two countries. However, after the Xixia people learned about this news, they immediately sent troops to Tongjia Fort and massacred thousands of people of Tongjia Fort, regardless of men, women, old and young. In the end, there were only a few dozen households left. They had not publicly rebelled against Xixia, nor did they betray the rear at the critical moment of Xixia. What do you think we should do in the dynasty?"
"Also, why is General Guo Qing so angry? If these people hadn't rebelled, why did our dynasty soldiers stay in the snow-mile castle? After fighting in the past two days, countless officers and soldiers died, including General Wei Qingzong, who also died on the battlefield. What do you think we should do?"
If the little soldier died, he would die, but Wei Qingzong was a senior general of the court.
"China is a benevolent country."
"You also know that China is a country of Ren, but how do you repay China?"
"Those villages are very pitiful now," said another old man.
"Pity? Then let me ask again. When they insisted on rebelling, these people were their parents and wives. Why didn't they persuade them? Furthermore, if they succeed, how many people and soldiers would suffer in Huanzhou? They are humans, but others are not humans. Or if you are humans, the Han family is not humans, and other tribes are not humans?"
Everyone was speechless together.
Zhong Yi said again: "But our dynasty is still kind. When we were discussing arrangements, we planned to hand over the people of these villages to Xixia. Anyway, don't they want to join Xixia?"
"It's not right." Several old men exclaimed together.
If they succeed and get Huanzhou City, they will get countless wealth. If they get Huanzhou City, Xixia will definitely take Huanzhou, and with such achievements, they can be promoted and made a fortune. But now they have not succeeded, and more than half of the Ding Zhuang died. There were so many officers and soldiers in the Song Dynasty, and the villages and villages lacked the Ding Zhuang to resist. Then the Song army would be allowed to quickly expel them from the villages and villages and quickly deliver them to the Xixia people. But what do the Xixia people want these women, young and old, to do?
At that time, there will be only one result, the property is left, the woman is left, and even the children are left. In the future, as a population reserve, but the elderly can only seek death. However, those women and children may not have a good end. These are hundreds of thousands of Xia Jun, and one person is unbearable. What good end can women have at that time? Children will serve as a population reserve, but they are also slaves!
It turned out that he really planned to make this arrangement, but in the end Wang Ju rejected it. If he really did, it would be too controversial.
Zhong Yi said again: "What's wrong? The people of Xixia can do it. Don't you want to join the Xixia? Our Song Dynasty learned from the people of Xixia."
"We did not seek refuge in Xixia, we just came to ask."
"Seriously, if we don't have these troops in our hands, you might not have asked."
"No, no."
"No, then why don't you send a single strong man? The officers and soldiers are fighting bloody battles, not only defending their homes for the Song Dynasty, but also defending their homes for you. If you say Xixia is good, you will join us now, and we will never object." Zhong Yi slapped the table and shouted.
The most important symbol of a country's governance is not only garrisoning troops, but also the most important thing. The people will pay taxes or serve, which is what the ancients call the corvette. Only then can they form a reciprocal relationship. When the people pay taxes or corvettes to strengthen the country, the country must be seriously governed to give the people a better life. This equal relationship is formed and governance can be stable. Otherwise, this rule will be shaken. The Tang Dynasty did not charge taxes and labor for the Turks, but eventually lost the desert. The Song Dynasty did not charge taxes and labor for Nong Zhigao and allowed it to become an independent kingdom. As a result, Nong Zhigao gave the Song Dynasty the most brutal knife. The Heavenly Dynasty did not charge taxes and labor for the stinky port, resulting in a large amount of chancanism.
What have many tribes in Huanzhou become today? What is the difference between them and Nong Zhigao?
"Muen also has kindness to the court."
"Muen is not called being kind to the court, it is called being aware of the matter. If it weren't for Muen's sake, the court gave preferential policies, how could your Murong clan grow up healthily? How could it become the current situation of being too big to lose!"
The group looked at each other, and they heard Zhong Yi's murderous aura. Not only will the court not surrender this time, but it may be even tougher in the future. If they do not know each other again, then after the war, the court may have to attack their village.
