"It's not light or heavy!" Pei Lin said to Yuan Sui with an indifferent face: "Tell the account room to take a hundred yuan and give it to Guo Dalang, which will be counted as the cost of soup and medicine!" โ€

Guo Chunwang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't seem to care about being beaten by Pei Lianmen, and even his finger bones were broken, but he left with a thousand thanks.

Lawyer Pei didn't understand why Pei Lian wanted to give Guo Chunwang a hundred yuan, Pei Lin smiled: "Is it expensive to bury a nail next to Liu Wenjing for one hundred yuan?" โ€

Lawyer Pei was speechless.

At this moment, Pei Yuanfu went and returned. This time, though, he was holding a purple lacquer box in his hand. Pei Yuanfu handed the lacquer box to Pei Lian, Pei Lin did not open it, but asked lightly: "There is a rumor that Chen Ying is Chen Shubao's son, has this matter been confirmed?" โ€

Pei Yuanfu bowed down and said: "Back to Linggong, the subordinates have specially bought Chen Shuda's doormen, and I learned from Chen Shuda's doormen that Chen Ying is not from the Wuxing Chen family. โ€

Pei Lin said: "Then as rumored, Chen Ying was born in the Chen family in Luoyang? Or Yingchuan Chen?

"Neither!" Pei Yuanfu shook his head and said, "Chen Ying was actually born in Guanzhong. โ€

Pei Lin said in surprise: "Then he is the Jingzhao Chen clan?" โ€

Pei Yuanfu said: "Actually, Chen Yingben is not surnamed Chen, he should be surnamed Hou Mochen?" โ€

Pei Lin sighed and said, "So, Chen Ying is also a famous family?" What is Hou Mo Chen Chong? โ€

Pei Yuanfu nodded and said: "Hou Mo Chen Chong is Chen Ying's grandfather, Chen Ying's father is the eldest son of Hou Mo Chen Chong, Shangzhu Guo, Liang Guogong Grand Sima Hou Mo Chen Rui, Hou Mo Chen Rui has five sons, the eldest son is a concubine and died young. His son Shanren, the third son Shanxin, the fourth son Shanzhi, the fifth son Shanshi, the great cause for three years, Chen Rui was convicted for the incident, and was matched by Yang Guangliu with Lingnan, when the fifth son was three years old, frail and sickly. Hou Mo Chen Rui was worried that his young son would not be able to bear the bumps in the distance, so he bribed the supervisor and sent him to his uncle Yang Jishan's house to raise him. In the ninth year of the great cause, Yang Xuangan was involved in the rebellion, and Yang Jishan was involved, and then committed suicide after defeat. Hou Mo Chen Shanshi was redeemed by Zuo Guanglu's doctor Su Wei Cong, renamed Chen Ying, and his son Su Hu was accepted as a scholar who served in ink! โ€

Pei Lin frowned tightly and said, "Hou Mo Chen, Hou Mo Chen!" โ€

Slaughter. In every place in Shuozhou, it came like thunder. Because Li Jiancheng led Xu Shiji, Wei Zheng and others to storm Huzhou, it attracted most of the energy of the Turks and Liu Wuzhou. Nearly 30,000 men and horses from the 17 Zhichong Prefectures in the Lingwu Left Army, the Lingwu Right Army, and the Dingyuan Army, with each Zhichong Prefecture as a separate combat force, advanced and swept towards all counties, villages, and towns, and every place where the Tianxing army with Turks or Liu Wuzhou invaded, and those who stood in front of the road were ruthlessly killed by Chen Ying. Often, bows and arrows are shot at each other, followed by warhorses.

Liu Wuzhou did not have the original soldiers and horses, but only more than 14,000 people, with the breakthrough of Taiyuan, Liu Wuzhou's troops also expanded rapidly. These local troops under the banner of Liu Wuzhou were actually just peasants who had just laid down their hoes. In fact, most of the Turkic troops in Shuozhou headquarters were the old, weak, sick and disabled Turks.

Whether it is Liu Wuzhou's Tianxing army or the Turks. Their resistance was weak, and although occasionally some Turks resisted desperately, the difference in strength was really far from the same.

In particular, the newly cast sword of the Dingyuan Army began to be tempered for the first time on the land of Hedong. The Han people everywhere were subjected to varying degrees of abuse and massacre. This made Chen Ying not hesitate at all about cruelty.

Killing to stop killing, and blood for blood, can stimulate the national consciousness as a whole. These are all things that come naturally.

Chen Ying advanced to Hedong, and what he wanted most was actually to obtain an environment where he could develop. From the bottom of his heart, Chen Ying didn't want to fight, and it was best to live a life of Nongfu Spring and a little field. This kind of day is the most comfortable for Chen Ying.

With the cavalry of the Lingwu Army and the Dingyuan Army forming a local pressure of fighting more and fighting less, the situation in Shuozhou stabilized in the shortest possible time.

The blood in front of me is just an introduction.

The afternoon sun shone down unobstructed. In the scorching heat, everything looks listless, and even the flies on the street that smell blood and are excited inexplicably look lazy. Chen Ying rode on horseback and looked forward, the mountains in front of him were floating because of the heat.

However, the most excited are the men, women and children who follow Chen Ying all the way, even if the sun is like fire, they seem to have inexhaustible strength. Since entering Shuozhou, the Lingwu Army has successively eliminated seventeen Turkic tribes, large and small, and Chen Ying distributed the property of the tribal leaders and nobles to the soldiers of the Lingwu Army, surprisingly this time he did not show mercy to those ordinary herdsmen.

In fact, as long as the Turks entered Hedong, from the gray-haired old man to the eleven or twelve-year-old boy, there was not a single hand whose hands were not stained with blood. If you kill them all, there may be those who are wronged, but most of them are innocent.

But Chen Ying wanted not to keep the prisoners anymore, not only Liu Tong and Xu Jingzong were unwilling, but even Yu Guni, Chen Jinyong, and Ashina Simo all opposed it. If Chen Ying continues to kill indiscriminately, the world is so big, he will definitely no longer have a place for Chen Ying.

Faced with as many as six or seven thousand captives, Chen Ying began to have a headache. In fact, Chen Ying didn't have a headache, he just didn't want to let go of these murderers whose hands were stained with the blood of the people of Hedong.

Seeing that Chen Ying was embarrassed, Xu Jingzong said: "General, why don't you let me come!" โ€

"You're coming?" Chen Ying looked at Xu Jingzong in surprise and said, "What are you going to do?" โ€

Xu Jingzong smiled slightly: "Please wait and see, General!" โ€

Xu Jingzong pretended to walk mysteriously towards the captives, Xu Jingzong pulled Ashina Simo as an interpreter, and confided in those Turkic captives with a smile: "Kill any leader to avoid death!" โ€

When Ashnasmo's words fell into the ears of the captives, the captives suddenly boiled, and everyone quickly picked up weapons from the ground without thinking, and used their fists without weapons to frantically beat or slash the leaders and nobles, and those nobles and leaders also desperately slashed and killed for self-protection, and the six or seven thousand people who were alive were killed indiscriminately, and the soldiers of the Lingwu Army and the Dingyuan Army were standing next to them, but none of the Turks would find the soldiers of the Lingwu Army or the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army to fight hard.

There was a bloody infighting, and all the leaders of the Turks were killed by their former subordinates, and many of them died, and less than a thousand people were alive.

Letting the Tang army directly slaughter the prisoners is not Xu Jingzong's style; It is his logic to provoke prisoners to fight among themselves, to kill their own people, to let them fully expose the dark side of human nature, and to bite and kill each other like dogs in front of them.

Xu Jingzong was very satisfied with his masterpiece, he tilted his head and said: "Tie up all these people, send them to the Lingzhou mine, put them in shackles, and do hard labor for the rest of their lives." โ€
