Crashing into the room of the post house, the situation inside was unbearable, the tables and round stools and other decorations were in a mess, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground horizontally, and the walls and the ground were stained with blood. Who killed someone and locked the door? The doors and windows were all closed, and when Guo Shao walked to the door, he smelled a very unpleasant strong mixed smell, just like the person who was hanged under the eaves in front of him, not only the smell of blood but also the stench of excrement. Even if a person is killed by a knife or gun, it is not so beautiful, and it seems that because the muscles are out of control, the filth in the body will flow out.

Guo Shao's heart was cold...... Qingxu was killed as spies along with these nuns? Died in filth?

He stepped over the threshold, removed the scabbard and lifted the lying corpses over one by one. He had never seen Qingxu, but he had heard the description of the woman who had a pointed chin and single eyelids, and was fourteen or fifteen years old. And Qingxu is not a nun, she has hair.

He walked very carefully, of course, he would not step on the body of the deceased directly with his foot, but when he inadvertently turned around, he found a string of footprints and blood stains on the floor tiles, and inevitably stepped on the blood that was dripping everywhere on the floor tiles.

"We didn't kill these people...... the official at the gate said tremblingly.

Guo Shao turned around and asked, "All the people you arrested are here?" ”

The official suddenly said: "There is still one locked up over there, it is a little lady, who claims to be a disciple of Fuyao Zi Chen Tong." ”

"Are you still alive? Take me there right away! Guo Shao threw away the scabbard and turned to leave.

The crowd quickly left the scene of the tragic massacre and went to another room. This time, Guo Shao didn't have to do it himself, Luo Mengzi, who was heavier, suddenly rushed up, slammed into the door with the iron armor on his body, and knocked the door panel over, and suddenly there was a scream from the frightened girl inside.

Guo Shao ran up with an arrow after hearing this, and under the small window in the innermost part of the room, there was indeed a little girl standing, who was not tall and looked a little thin, with single eyelids and a pointed chin. She took a hairpin in her hand and said in a thick local voice: "What do you want to do, my master is a fuyaozi, and my master is very powerful!" Don't come here......"

I saw that there were thick wooden mullions in the small window behind, one of which had a notch, and some wood chips on the ground below. Dare to love her before holding a hairpin and trying to grind the wood off?

When Guo Shao heard this, he suddenly felt that a big stone in his heart had landed, he looked at Qingxu carefully, and said: "Of course I don't want to do anything to you, I'm here to save you, you don't even know that I can't even take care of my life in order to save you......"

"You're so weird! Do I know you......" Qingxu leaned her back against the wall, and she seemed a little uncomfortable when she was looked at by Guo Shao's gaze. From time to time, I also looked at Guo Shao, the two of you look at me, I look at you, and their behavior is very weird.

was originally a person who had nothing to do with her, but Guo Shao cared so much about her...... Of course, he knew what the reason was, but it still felt very mysterious, and this was the chance they were talking about?

The two men and women looked at each other for a while, Guo Shao finally came back to his senses, turned his head and asked, "What about Jing Niang?" Ask Jing Niang to come over. ”

After a while, Jing Niang came over coldly, her face was pale, but she didn't say anything. When she walked to the door, she saw Qingxu, and finally spoke: "Qingxu, do you remember me?" ”

"Daoist Yuzhen?" Qingxu's face was happy. In the end, it's a teenage girl, no matter whose disciple it is, you can always feel safer when you see acquaintances, and you can't avoid vulgarity.

Seeing this, Guo Shao silently withdrew from the room. Shen Sheng said to the two pro-soldiers beside him: "Look at them, don't let Qingxu get lost." ”

Qingxu and Jing Niang said a few words when they saw each other, and when they looked up, the strange young military general just now had disappeared.

Guo Shao walked to the courtyard of the post house, turned around and asked the official who led the way just now: "Who killed the person?" ”

"Humble ...... I don't know what to do. The official said busily.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of "bell", and as soon as the knife flashed, Luo Yanhuan drew his knife and swung it, slamming it on the official's neck, and a trace of blood flowed onto the knife. The official was so frightened that he fell to the ground in fright.

The official trembled and said: "Zhao, Zhao Chongtao's order ......"

"What about people?" Guo Shao asked again.

Guan'er said: "The rout in front came to the post house, and Zhao Chongtao learned that he was defeated, and went up to Qingniling with General Li and others. ”

At this moment, he rode to the gate of the post house and walked in to report: "The commander of the Shu army is called Li Tingqi, and he asks to treat the captured subordinates well, and surrender as long as we agree." ”

Luo Yanhuan smiled and said, "At this time, can you still talk about conditions?" ”

Guo Shao waved his hand and said: "Order Wang Zhang, agree to Li Tingqi's conditions, solve it as soon as possible, and save trouble." ”

Guo Shao sent people again, and asked Li Dazhu and the other two commanders stationed at the head of Baishui Road to assemble on the North Road. Then he divided his troops to escort the surrendered Shu soldiers to the north of Qingniling...... Guo Shao discussed with Li Chuyun and others, planning to abandon the post house, only occupy the Qingniling Heights, and then return to the north with the main force.

In the evening, the generals and officials of the Shu army were tied with ropes and escorted to the post house. Guo Shao led the crowd to meet him in the lobby. As soon as Li Tingqi and the others walked into the lobby, they found that the eyes of the generals of the Zhou army were very strange, not angry or kind, but as if Li Tingqi and the others were pieces of wheat cakes, or piles of gold and silver...... There is that delusion.

"The general of the defeated army, if you want to kill, you will kill!" Li Tingqi raised his head and said angrily.

Guo Shao asked, "Who is Zhao Chongtao?" ”

A Shu army general behind Li Tingqi said: "I am." ”

Guo Shao said: "Pull it out and peel the skin." ”

Li Tingqi was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "Who promised Lao Tzu not to kill prisoners, he should fart when he speaks?" Ben will be defeated, and it is not a pity to die, there is a kind of cutting me down! ”

Guo Shao said coldly: "You don't have to resist your life to kill your opponent in the battle array, you have to resist your life if you kill an unarmed person, and it is natural to kill someone to pay for your life." With that, he waved his hand, "The rest are imprisoned." ”

At this time, Zuo You, who was sitting at the table next to him, didn't know where to find the magnet, and leaned over to a pile of coins on the table, and suddenly the coins were stained with magnets. Zuo You said: "It's really iron money." Shu lacks copper, and iron casts money...... It's not good for us to get this money back. ”

Guo Shao got up quietly, neither courteous to the generals of the Shu army, nor did he say that he wanted to kill them, so he only disposed of one person. He came out of the back door of the lobby, beckoned Luo Yanhuan to step forward, and said in a deep voice: "You take people to coerce those Shu army generals and ask them to send people back to get money to redeem their lives...... Don't use iron money, use it for birds! gold, silver, precious stones, silk; Let Zuo You do this with you, so that he can calculate how much it costs at what level, and there is no deception at the real price. ”

Luo Yanhuan said: "This Shu army is a forbidden soldier, and the forbidden soldiers of Shu are not poor, and they are often rewarded by the emperor of Shu." Thousands of captives, one person squeezed a little bit is not a lot. ”

"Okay, you and Zuo You are solely responsible for this matter." Guo Shaodao.

Li Chuyun said: "If the people of Shu really use money to ransom people, let's just let it go?" Especially if you don't say a word, let go of the general of the Shu army and stab him in the court, it's hard to say......"

Guo Shao pondered for a while: "What Brother Li said is extremely true. I've seen two days of sending people to Tokyo to give a lecture on how to treat prisoners of war...... First go to Fengxiang and tell the provincial envoy Zan Jurun, there is no need to hide it, just say that he has squeezed the money, and he also has a share. ”

Li Chuyun said: "The Shu soldiers should be fine, but those generals, if the official family orders to arrest and return to Tokyo...... So we collected the money but didn't follow the rules? It is said that the green forest mountain bandits will abide by the rules. ”

"Zan Jurun will report the blackmail in the army. And we have already asked for the decree first, and the official family and the court should push the boat with the water; If you want to be arrested, then you will be arrested and brought back, but you can't even be a mountain bandit...... It's unruly. Guo Shao said, "I extorted money, got rid of the 'loss' in the chaos, and handed over some when the time came." ”

Li Chuyun sighed: "Before the war, I had promised the soldiers to share the money, but for today's plan, this is the only way." Why didn't the lord leave this matter to the last general, how could the people sent by my sect talk to Zan Jurun. ”

Guo Shao simply nodded and said, "Then Brother Li will do it." ”

Li Chuyun found an acquaintance in the guards, and told him to go to Fengxiang to see Zan Jurun first, and repeatedly advised: "The rest of the Shu army is besieged in Qingniling, and the generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are willing to surrender only if they ask for money to redeem their lives." Our generals were afraid that the lone army would go deep into the belly and then be attacked by Shu reinforcements, and they intended to fight a quick battle, so they reluctantly agreed. ”

A group of horsemen took the seal letter of Guo Shaogai of the Hujie Army, and the next morning they turned over the Qingniling and went straight to Fengxiang.

Zan Jurun asked the news in detail, thought about it in the post house for a long time, and sure enough, he began to write a small report on the secret music. In order to explain things thoroughly, he also wrote about Wang Jingbu and Xiang Xunbu's plundering of goods in Qin Fengchengjie City, and then discussed that the forbidden army did not occupy the city, so he extorted reinforcements from the Shu army; As for what the soldiers of the forbidden army said, it was the Shu army that took the initiative to ask for money to ransom people, which is quite strange.

After writing the secret recital to the Privy Council, Jun Zangju sealed it with lacquer, and sent a messenger to deliver it directly to Tokyo.

At this time, the monarchs and ministers of the Zhou Dynasty in Tokyo were celebrating the success of the battle against Shu...... If Wang Jing and the other troops continued to stalemate in Qinfeng, the Zhou army would not be able to easily start a war against the Southern Tang Dynasty for a while; Only after the battle situation is clear can the Southern Tang Dynasty be used to avoid high-intensity battles on two fronts.

The privy envoy Wei Renpu didn't think that the army did some looting and blackmailing at all, as long as he won the Shu State, other things could be avoided and lightened, and the emperor's suggestion was: The surrender of the Shu army in Qingniling was handled by the left wing of the Hujie army; Qin Feng's ordinary Shu army surrendered troops, and they were still left behind, and those who were willing to leave were let go, so as to win the hearts of the generals and officials and people in the Qinfeng area. The emperor thought so, immediately approved, and then asked the civil official to write an edict to appease Qin Feng to surrender his troops.

Wei Renpu also suggested that regardless of Wang Jingbu's plundering of Qinzhou and others, he should send people to reward him, and ordered Wang Jingxi to deploy both Qinzhou and the western edge. The things that the privy envoy Wei Renpu said were very appropriate and were quickly implemented.
