Chapter eight hundred and eighty third heart
In the western section of Yunling, this mountain range surrounded by three-quarters of Yunzhong Province, swept into the sky with clouds and mist. Yunling is so steep that it is far more rugged than the Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains may be able to cross the mountain to hide the sky by relying on the green sponge to hide the sky, but Yunling is absolutely impossible. The steep altitude of thousands of meters, snowing, avalanches, storms, etc. are common all seasons. Not to mention human soldiers, even gods are unwilling to face this severe natural power.
Tongyun Pass, a ten-mile pass, is located between two mountains in Yunling, and is also the largest passage between the Qihai Province and Yunzhong Province. However, after the war, Tongyun Pass was locked and the city gates were refused to travel to and from business trips and refugees. However, Yunzhong Province had fallen, and countless people who were lingering in the fertile land of Tongyun Pass were still gathered in the eastern fertile fields of Tongyun Pass.
Every day, people die of hunger and bodies are left unburied, and the plague has begun to rage.
...
At the city gate, Tang Xiaoxi wore a red dress and looked at the refugee camp in the east from afar and said, "Are we really not going to come up with any ideas?"
On the side, Chen Xiaoli clasped his fists and said, "Princess, you really can't open the city gate. No one knows if there are soldiers from the Tianji Empire among the refugees. Once they sneak in and open the city gate, Tongyun Pass will be out of protection. Behind Tongyun Pass are 40 million imperial people from the Qihai Province..."
Tang Xiaoxi remained silent.
After a while, she raised her head, her bright eyes were particularly cold: "In the afternoon, I sent my cavalry team out of seclusion and brought food and water to appease the people. They were all people of the empire. What if we win this war without regard for their lives or death."
"But the princess..."
"Stop talking. If Mu Mu and Feng Jixing were here, they would do this."
"I..." Chen Xiaoli was speechless. As a professional soldier, he knew what to do and what not to do. At this time, Tang Xiaoxi's approach did not conform to the method of military strategy, but it was in line with the way of the king, so Chen Xiaoli was a little confused and didn't know what to do.
Ouyang Yan pursed her red lips and said, "A plague called evil is spreading outside the city. Once infected, she will die of ulceration and will not be cured at all. Three out of the ten people outside the city have this plague. Princess Xi, are you sure you want to bring them into the city?"
"But Sister Chu Yao is not here, otherwise she will definitely have a way to cure this plague." Tang Xiaoxi frowned: "But I can't watch them die outside the city, Ouyang, do you have any good solutions?"
Ouyang Yan was stunned: "Use my method."
"Um."
"This is simple. They burned them with fire, and they were all over."
"Do you think I didn't ask."
“…”
In the afternoon, the gate of Tongyun Pass opened, and Tang Xiaoxi led a hundred cavalry out of the city. Behind him was a transportation team, bringing supplies from the Qihai Province into the jungle. When the princess of the auxiliary country appeared in the crowd, the people were stunned. Many of them were covered in rotten sores and pus, but they did not expect to see the nobles of the empire before they died.
"It's Princess Xi... it's Princess Xi. She brought us food. The Empire did not give up on us."
I don’t know who shouted, and everyone knelt down one after another and shouted: “Long live Princess Xi, long live Princess Xi.”
Tang Xiaoxi led the war horses and walked slowly through the crowd. Looking at the faces that longed to live, she felt extremely uncomfortable. The war brought so much pain to people, but it was not something she could control. It would be great if the war could end earlier... It was also at this time that people would feel how cute and respectful the soldiers who charged for the empire were.
“No need.”
Tang Xiaoxi shook her head: "The Qin family needs the will of the people and the world needs the long mouth to save the Qin Dynasty. I can't do some things, go back."
"Um."
On the city, Chen Xiaoli watched everything that happened from a distance without saying a word. After a while, he said to the two deputy generals behind him: "I will help him with what Princess Xi cannot do, and I will prepare for it. I will prepare for it after midnight today."
"Yes, Master Commander."
...
The night general, when the night came, the city gates opened wide, and a group of elite cavalry in Qihai City rushed out, holding torches, and the butts of the horse behind him were heavy bags, each of which was filled with golden coins.
Chen Xiaoli rushed forward with a spear, broke into the refugee camp, and began to sprinkle gold coins into the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Take the money, go to Muyu City to find a way out. Don't stay here. With this money, you can live. If you continue to stay here, you can only wait for death."
The crowd was in chaos and the people were scrambling for gold coins.
Chen Xiaoli brought nearly a thousand cavalry out of the city, and each person's mouth and nose were covered with cloth, and gold coins were scattered everywhere. When every citizen got a lot of gold coins, Chen Xiaoli immediately raised his spear and shouted: "Go, leave, kill all those who don't leave."
Many people in the refugee crowd made opposition.
"Dangdangdang..."
The sharp knife was unscathed, and the cavalry quickly slashed dozens of stubborn people. The blood on the blade was still dripping, and the refugees were shocked. They did not expect that Chen Xiaoli would really dare to take action.
"Get out, if you don't get out, you will be a ghost under my sword."
Chen Xiaoli was decisive in killing and raised his spear, which was quite a bit of a style of success.
The cavalry drove away, and the people left the refugee camp one after another and headed straight for the direction of Muyu City.
...
The next morning, Tang Xiaoxi was furious after receiving the news of the chaos outside the city last night. In the guard's mansion, Chen Xiaoli had been tied up by many flowers, and he knelt in the hall with two deputy generals.
"What the hell is going on?" Tang Xiaoxi was so angry that her face turned red: "Chen Xiaoli, how dare you use swords and weapons against the people? Do you still have me as the princess in your eyes?"
"have."
Chen Xiaoli knelt on the ground, his eyes flushed and said, "Princess Xi, I, Chen Xiaoli, was originally a general of Qihai City. I was promoted by His Highness Xin after my father died. I, Chen Xiaoli, is a general of the Tang family, and I would never want to see Princess Xi be so humiliated. I have driven out a group of ungrateful wolves outside the city, but I sent them golden coins so that they would not starve to death on the road. Moreover... If they brought the plague to Muyu City, it would also be transmitted to more than 100,000 Longji Corps and Wolf soldiers in Muyu City. Why don't we do it?"
"What about the millions of people in Muyu City."
Tang Xiaoxi said lightly: "Who will take care of their life or death?"
Chen Xiaoli raised his head, his proud face full of smiles: "There is nothing in the world that can be the best of both worlds. He wants to defeat his opponents and save the people. This kind of thing has never happened since ancient times. Princess Xi, behead me, use my head to pay tribute to the dead, and use my blood to wash the stains I brought to the Qin family."
"You really dare to say it." Tang Xiaoxi slapped the table: "Pull it out and cut it."
Everyone was shocked and trembled so hard that they dared not speak.
Ouyang Yan raised her lips: "You generals are all fools, don't you know how to plead with mercy?"
A group of generals hurriedly knelt together and shouted for mercy.
...
"For the sake of so many people pleading for your life."
Tang Xiaoxi didn't want to kill Chen Xiaoli, otherwise who would guard the city and lead the troops? Her eyes cold and she said lightly: "The official was demoted to one level, and the salary was fined for half a year, and it would be delayed for one day."
"yes."
