Chapter 210 nips the threat in the bud

The soldiers of the Tang Army slowly entered the city, and all the prisoners of the Xia Army who surrendered slowly came out of the city, and the handover of the defense of Xingyang City was carried out in an orderly manner. On April 7 of the third year of Wude, Chen Ying, the general of Tang Champion, led his troops to conquer Xingyang.

In this battle, more than 3,000 enemies were annihilated and more than 14,000 were captured. From the start of the battle, to the end of the battle. It was only an hour before and after, and it was definitely a beautiful blitzkrieg, and the strength of the East Palace army led by Chen Ying was staggering. After this battle, the name of the strong army of the East Palace resounded all over the world, and Chen Ying was also a brilliant general in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties.

However, Chen Ying, who won a big victory, did not have any joy in his heart, because he knew very well that this was a war with no winners.

Although the war led by Li Shimin is exaggerated in the "Book of Tang" and "Zizhi Tongjian" to the extinction of the earth, which is rare in the sky, no matter how it is whitewashed, Chen Ying knows very well that the Spring and Autumn period penmanship cannot hide the terrible fact that the world has been completely destroyed and the population of China has decreased by two-thirds. The saddest thing is that this rebellion was completely avoidable, but the clan lords made this war for the distribution of power and interests.

Chen Ying climbed the city gate tower, looked at the corpses on the city gate tower, looked at the fireworks Xingyang City, and let out a wild roar: "Damn it!" ”

Chen Ying saw the surviving soldiers of the Beiwei Army, only to see that the soldiers of the Beiwei Army were less than half of the original, and his heart ached like a knife.

"What about Liu Tong? What about looking for phase? Chen Ying swept around the surviving soldiers of the Beiwei Army on the city gate tower, and did not find Xun Xiang and Liu Tong, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

The soldiers of the Beiwei Army also looked at each other, and a soldier of the Beiwei Army said boldly: "General Huiyu, I just watched General Xun ...... here."

Chen Ying roared: "Then don't go and find them quickly, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find them, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!" ”

The officers and soldiers of the Tang Army began to move quickly, and they looked around to look at the corpses everywhere, looking for Zhong Xunxiang and Liu Tong. However, not long after, Liu Tong, who was covered in blood, came to the city gate tower to report his life to Chen Ying, but the search for his appearance has not been found.

……

In front of the patio in the backyard of the Yellow Widow's embroidery village in the south of Xingyang City, Xun Xiang was covered with blood and came to the door of the embroidery village. In his hand he carried a bloody head in one hand, this head was Liu Jintang's, and Xun Xiang was casually wrapped in a rag, and every time he took a step forward, his body would fall dry blood scabs or blood that had not yet fully coagulated.

At this time, there was still sporadic chaos in the city, and many Xia soldiers who saw that there was no way to escape and were unwilling to be tied to death, and the ruffians and hooligans who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, took advantage of the fact that the Tang army did not fully control Xingyang, they rushed into many people's homes, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, robbed money and women, and vented their last madness.

In fact, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Xun Xiang didn't even meet Chen Ying, so he hurried to Nancheng. As a member of Liu Wuzhou's rebel army, he knows very well that the urine nature of these rebels is crazy, and they are definitely inferior to beasts. There are only the Yellow Widow and his daughters in the embroidery village, and it is impossible for the three women to protect themselves in this troubled era.

There are still 100 steps away from the embroidery village, Xunxiang heard a burst of mournful crying in the embroidery village, Xunxiang couldn't help but be in a hurry, he ran faster, even if his lungs were like a bellows, every breath he was like a pinprick pain, but Xunxiang did not dare to stop, because he knew that once he stopped, he and Xun Huang, Da Ya, Er Ya will say goodbye forever.

"Don't come, don't come......" As soon as he walked to the door of the embroidery village, he heard the frightened shouts of the second girl. I didn't have time to think about it, so I pushed the door, but when I pushed it, the door didn't move.

At this moment, there was a roar from the room: "Ah...... Yes! Then, there was the sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh, the sound of blood spurting.

Xunxiang didn't know where the strength came from, and slammed into the door.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, he slammed the door open and rushed into the room. At this time, he was stunned.

I saw the big girl in the house and Xun Huang falling to the bed, I don't know whether they were alive or dead, especially Xun Huang's forehead, there was a big bag that bulged high, obviously smashed unconscious by a blunt object, as for the big girl, the appearance was even more miserable, and half of the profane clothes were torn off. As for Erya, she held the dagger given to her by Xunxiang with a hideous face, and stabbed the uninvited guests in the room one by one.

This is a majestic Xia soldier, his arms are even thicker than Erya's thighs, but at this time he is like a rag doll that has been stabbed into a sieve, spurting blood everywhere.

Erya didn't seem to see the arrival of Xun Xiang, and still stabbed the corpse that had no life features.

Xunxiang knew that Erya was stimulated, and at this time he was already stunned, and the best way was to let her sleep well. Not to mention that Erya is only a nine-year-old child, I'm afraid that he is an adult, and he will be scared into insanity when he encounters this kind of thing.

Xunxiang stretched out his hand and pressed on Erya's neck, and Erya fell softly into Xunxiang's arms.

Xunxiang pulled up the futon and covered it on the eldest girl, and reached out to pinch the Huang family's people.

After a long time, Xun Huang woke up, found Xun Xiang, threw himself into Xun Xiang's arms and howled and cried. The eldest girl also woke up, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried together.

The eldest girl cried and told Xunxiang the whole story, it turned out that not long after Xunxiang left, the Xia soldier appeared in Xiuzhuang, but they had already closed the door, and the Xia soldier did not rush in. Then there was chaos in the city, and there were cries of killing, and it was here that the soldier suddenly jumped in through the window. Looking for a picture, he turned his head and looked at the window lattice, which had been crumbled into a mess.

The soldier smashed Xun Huang with a whistle stick, and knocked the big girl unconscious, wanting to do wrong. However, he didn't take Erya, a nine-year-old doll, in his eyes.

But it was precisely because of this negligence that he threw his life here.

Looking for a while to comfort Huang's mother and daughter.

The encounter of Huang's mother and daughter is just a microcosm of this era, and the war has left not only the light of the god of war, but also the infinite pain of the people.

Xun Xiang said: "Don't worry, I'm here, you're not afraid, now clean up, throw away what should be thrown, throw away what should be abandoned, you all follow me to Chang'an to live a good life!" ”

……

Liu Xiyao saw that Chen Ying didn't seem to have the intention of recruiting him, he was very disappointed and desperate, the ants were still stealing their lives, let alone alone? However, Liu Xiyao did not beg for mercy like Chen Ying, he said coldly: "The surname Chen, you win, if you want to kill or scrape, whatever you want, please let go of my brothers......"

"Whether you let it go or not, it's not up to you to have the final say, and it's not for me to have the final say!" Chen Ying coldly pointed at Xingyang City, whose eyes were full of devastation, and said: "As long as their hands are not stained with the blood of ordinary people, they will be fine, but if they really kill innocents indiscriminately and bully women, Heavenly King Lao Tzu will not be able to save them." As long as a person does evil, he must be judged by justice......"

"I can give them a fair disposition, Liu is grateful." Liu Xiyao lowered his voice and said: "In the back hall of Xingyang Mansion, there is a cellar, which contains the property we have robbed for more than half a month, about 340,000 yuan, you take it all, don't be cheap those guys." ”

Chen Ying was slightly pleased and said, "Thank you." ”

Liu Xiyao was stunned and said incomprehensibly: "Isn't 300,000 yuan enough to buy my life?" ”

"One yard to one yard!" Chen Ying said calmly: "The money is mine, do you think you can still take it!" ”

Liu Xiyao said: "However, this is what we snatched from the Zheng family!" ”

"Do they dare to ask me?" Chen Ying smiled coldly: "Eat the meat in my mouth, and want me to spit it out again, but there is no door." ”

Liu Xiyao laughed and said, "Okay, good, Liu and General Chen are also fellow believers!" Most of our brothers are from good families, if they can't survive, no one will take this road, if you can spare their lives, don't kill them, Liu is also grateful under Jiuquan. ”

Chen Yingdao: "I remember. ”

Chen Ying looked at Liu Xiyao again, sighed, walked up to him, took off his saber and handed it to both hands: "Please." ”

Liu Xiyao stared at Chen Ying and said very seriously: "Aren't you afraid that I will take you as a hostage and force your subordinates to lay down their weapons?" ”

Chen Yingdao: "As long as you have this ability, you can try it." ”

Liu Xiyao laughed loudly, and casually pulled out a horizontal knife, and a sword light reflected his face. He gently stroked the blade and was full of praise: "Good knife, good knife!" Cutting off the heads of the Turks with it must be enjoyable! ”

Chen Yingdao: "If you like it, I will use this knife to bury you." ”

"Thank you! In this way, I will be able to use this horizontal knife in the underworld to taste the taste of slashing the heads of the Turks! Liu Xiyao laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to untie his clothes, pressed the tip of the knife against his heart, and with a fierce force, the horizontal knife entered the handle, and the hole passed through the chest, and the blood spurted straight out along the blood trough. He staggered, fell to his knees, and his body began to spasm.

Chen Ying quietly summoned Guo Luo and Zhou Qing and asked them to take their own soldiers to Xingyang Mansion.

Seeing Liu Xiyao fall to the ground softly, Li Xiuning said, "Are you interested in him?" Why don't you surrender him, we will each have his own master! ”

"Surrender him!" Chen Ying gave up after just flashing this thought, and when he learned that Liu Jintang and Liu Xiyao were both Liu Heimin's clansmen, Chen Ying made up his mind and would not spare him. His purpose is very clear, that is, to make Liu Heimin crazy.

As the saying goes, if you want your enemy to perish, let them go crazy first. If Liu Heimin fought a decisive battle with Chen Ying at this time, it was exactly what he couldn't ask for, because Liu Heimin was too dangerous, he recovered all the states and counties under Dou Jiande in just half a year, defeated Li Shimin, and almost overthrew the Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is that after Liu Heimin's rebellion, almost all the young and strong people in Hebei died, and until the Yonghui period, Hebei did not recover its vitality.

As long as Liu Heimin jumps out now, Chen Ying is absolutely sure that he will kill Liu Heimin and nip in the bud this rebellion that almost shook the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

In the cellar in the backyard of Xingyang Mansion, boxes of large boxes of nanmu were slowly lifted out of the cellar, Rao is Li Xiuning had no concept of money, but looking at the hundreds of large boxes piled up now, he was still dumbfounded: "A lot of money!" ”

A large silver ball weighing more than 300 catties. There are fifty-three. Gorgeous and exquisite, brilliant gold ornaments and wine utensils, there are more than 10 boxes, the most strange thing is that there are as many as several thousand catties of brass cast copper columns, boxes of jewelry, jade, gemstones......

"Good boy!" It's bigger than the treasury! It took Luo Shixin a long time to recover from his dizziness, stroking a giant silver winter melon, and sighed: "It's unimaginable, just in Xingyang City, Xia Jun has looted so many treasures!" ”

Chen Yingdao: "This is actually only a part, when Dou Jiande retreated, someone saw him receive more than 1,000 cars of valuables from Xingyang City, and he could use Dou Jiande's Yulin Army to go out, but he didn't think it was ordinary!" ”

Luo Shixin said: "How much money do you say this Zheng family has?" ”

Chen Ying smiled: "This is my money, what does it have to do with them!" ”

Li Xiuning's little heart fluttered and fluttered, like a deer crashing inside, she looked at the mountain of gold, silver and jewelry, and said dryly: "This is not appropriate, right?" These are ......"

"These are my ...... Of course, ours too! Chen Ying smiled slightly, and instructed Guo Luo: "Hurry up and count it, and see how much money there is!" ”

Guo Luo said excitedly: "Humble understand! ”

After a day and a night of counting and counting, the numbers came out. There are 250,000 taels of silver, 130,000 taels of gold, 60,000 catties of brass, more than 600 pearls, and there are countless valuables such as silk, jade, porcelain, and mahogany furniture.

Chen Yingchong Guo Luo said: "Hurry up and transport these belongings to the forest, don't stop for a moment!" ”

Guo Luo said he understood.

Guo Luo solicited the big carts in Xingyang City, of course, Guo Luo was also very smart, he didn't transport these belongings out of Xingyang directly, after all, these many belongings need hundreds of carts to transport away, and it is definitely very difficult to hide people's eyes and ears.

Although the Zheng family suffered heavy losses, the Zheng family couldn't help Chen Ying now, but once it was in front of the crown princess Zheng Guanyin, Chen Ying explained for a while.

Chen Ying was afraid of trouble, so when Guo Luo was transporting his belongings, he put two large boxes underneath, spread straw or reed mats on the big boxes, and then put the mutilated corpses on them.

……

When the news of the defeat of Xingyang, the death of Liu Jintang and the suicide of Liu Xiyao, and the annihilation of nearly 20,000 horses under his command reached Dou Jiande's hands, Dou Jiande's hand trembled involuntarily, and knocked over the boiling tea, until the tea soup made him scream.

After a while, Dou Jiande forcibly calmed himself down, rushed to the sand table, looked at the sand table, and gasped for cool air, not knowing whether Dou Jiande was hot or scared.

If you lose Xingyang, you are not afraid, and the loss of 20,000 soldiers and horses is not fatal, the most troublesome thing is, how can he tell Liu Heimin about this. With Liu Heimin's short-term temperament, once he learns that Chen Ying has killed his nephew and cousin, I am afraid that Liu Heimin will immediately go crazy.

As soon as he thought of this, Dou Jiande's temples jumped suddenly, his blood pressure soared, his wheezing became heavier and heavier, his teeth became more and more itchy, and his eyes became more and more red.

It was at this time that another piece of news came. This news is definitely bad news for Dou Jiande.

Because Li Jiancheng came to Hedong.

PS: I'm a little unwell, I've been fighting too hard lately, and my body is a little unbearable, so let's rest first!
