This cry drew the howls of many young soldiers who had seen such a tragedy for the first time and thought that the "people" under the world should be "people".

Gong Zaoye clenched his fists, his teeth rattled, and he subconsciously touched the sword at his waist, as if only ten steps to kill one person at this time could relieve the anger in his heart.

A flock of crows flew through the sky, and the howling soldier held his musket to his chest and shouted, "Get out!" Get lost! ”

I don't know who fired first, and the crows flapped their wings and flew away.

The sound of ping-pong gunfire was particularly loud in the lonely city.

But in the echo of the gunshots, a woman in the ash pile in front of her who was digging the ashes with her hands seemed to not hear the shocking gunshots at all, and still knelt there, digging the ashes with her hands slowly and weakly.

Gong Zaoye walked to the front and saw that the woman's fingers had been completely worn out, probably exposing the bones, and the blood had congealed the ashes into a ball.

The woman knelt on the ground, her clothes in tatters, and her hands were digging again and again as if they were no longer her own.

With words muttering in his mouth, Gong Zaoye leaned down and heard the woman repeating a sentence there.

"Dead...... All dead. ”

"Dead...... All dead. ”

Sentence after sentence, over and over again.

Several guards leaned forward and pulled the woman away, the woman's body was stiff like a stone, and after being pulled away, the guards let go of their hands, and the woman naturally lay on the ground, her legs apart, her gray eyes motionless like a wood carving.

The guard noticed that the woman's undergarment had been torn apart, and quickly took off her military uniform and covered the woman, but the woman still maintained this wooden posture with her legs apart, and still muttered "Dead, all dead...... Dead, all dead......"

Gong Zaoye sighed, the muscles in his cheeks trembled, and he continued to move forward in silence.

Next to the market in front, a woman with a torn skirt wrapped around her forehead as a sackcloth to wear filial piety lowered her head, looked at the righteous teacher in a strange military uniform in amazement, and suddenly bent down and picked up a stone and rushed over, throwing it at Gongzaoye, who was standing in front.

The woman had evidently not eaten for several days, and her strength was weak, and the woman could not be stoned to hurt her by means of public means, even when she was healthy.

But Gong Zaoye didn't dodge, but let the stone fall in front of him, rolled on the ground a few times, and gently pressed against his boots.

The woman threw the stone and rushed over, but the guard hurriedly stopped the woman, and the woman with a blank face said nothing, just cried there.

He recognized this as the righteous teacher of the Mo family.

Because her son had been torn apart by the nobles here a few months earlier, the last thing he told everyone before he died was that his legs trembled because he was not afraid of death.

Because her husband, father, brothers, and the remaining sons had all been beheaded by the nobles under the walls a few days before, and they dug a big pit and killed them all.

The woman cried frantically until the tears could no longer flow, only a hoarse voice remained, and the movements of the struggle became weaker and weaker, and her legs finally could not support it, and she fell to the ground weakly, saying the first words she had said in the past few days.

"Why are you here? Why did you come? ”

Gong Zaoye's originally angry and strong heart was shattered by this simple question, he knelt on the ground with the etiquette at this time, bowed, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, we're late." ”

The guard let go of the woman, who fell limply and half-knelt on the ground, wailing and crying.

…………

At night, the army had already entered the city and began to organize the remnants of the women to make fires, eat, and dig up corpses, and the originally lonely city let out bursts of earth-shattering cries.

The entry of the righteous teacher into the city was not very smooth, and many women took stones and threw the soldiers of the righteous division, venting their anger.

The righteous teachers had strict rules and could not resist, and the soldiers lowered their heads, knowing that it was just a vent, and there was no malice.

Xu Wan, who came with the army, asked Meng Shengdao, "Now the people are angry, and before those nobles left, they said that they killed the people because of our righteousness......"

Meng Sheng pondered for a long time and said slowly, "This is a good thing. ”

"The people are powerless if they are not organized. The people like to be tolerant of the bad guys, because they think that if they pray for the wicked people, they won't be violent. But they are always harsh on the good ones, because they know that even if they throw stones at the righteous teachers, the righteous teachers will be righteous after all, and they will not take any revenge on them. ”

"They recognized it as a righteous teacher, so they threw stones at us. The people are not ignorant, they can distinguish between good and evil. ”

"The nobles thought that the people were ignorant and tried to deceive the people with these words, but in vain. Go ahead and do what you have to do......"

Xu Miao tasted this sentence carefully, figured out the taste, nodded and left.

In the dying command post, Lu Hua, who accompanied the army to serve as the chief officer of the military doctor of the Ministry of Public Metallurgy this time, cried with red eyes, and said with a hoarse voice that was a suggestion, and a three-point bearing that could not be refuted, "The army cannot be camped in the city, and the living in the city must also camp outside the city." ”

"The dead are plagued, and they must be contagious. The water had to be boiled before it could be drunk, and the army had to camp ten miles away from the city. ”

"Now we need a lot of lime to bury these corpses and clean up the city, and it's summer to prevent the epidemic from spreading."

"Many of those women have contracted the disease and must be isolated and treated. A large amount of liquor and lime had to be brought in, and many of the corpses in the city were too rotten to be cleaned up, and they had to be burned all at once. ”

"This is the request of our medical department. As for how to persuade, how to arrange, how to transport spirits and lime, you have to do it well. ”

Gong Zaoye was still sitting there angrily, and Meng Sheng continued, "You decide this matter, and we will carry it out." Summer plagues must be prevented. ”

"In addition, the city also needs food and cloth, which need to be planned and calculated, and the total amount of lime, spirits, and cotton cloth that you need over there will be gathered and reported together, and you must not sleep tonight, and the number must be set before tomorrow morning."

Lu Hua sighed, nodded, said no more, and arranged it herself.

Meng Sheng walked to Gong Zaoye's side and couldn't help but say, "You have to take a look at the letter over there." Don't chase after you angrily, while being ambushed. ”

He was very firm, and he also supported the issuance of the Decree of Injustice. This matter cannot be rushed ......"

Since the afternoon, Meng Sheng has noticed that Gongzaoye has been in anger, just like when he was a ranger when he heard about injustices, which was what Meng Sheng was worried about.

If Gongzaoye insists on sending troops to pursue, Meng Sheng will initiate a meeting of the front committee to veto the opinions of Gongzaoye, he has this power and this obligation.

The silent Gong Zaoye nodded slowly, "I know the severity. It's just that I kind of regret it......"

Meng Sheng said: "This can't be blamed on you after all." At that time, Tian Qing's army was here, and the main forces of our army were in Jishui, and we may not be able to win the field battle and siege in this field......

He thought that Gongzaoye was guilty of being late, and Gongzaoye shook his head and said, "I'm not regretting this." Animals can be killed, do you need to talk about the power of natural people to kill birds and beasts? I regret a little that I expressed my support for Sishang, who voted to abolish the five punishments, corporal punishment, car splitting, hanging, and beheading, and I didn't expect to face beasts one day. ”

"Now that we have captured Tian Qing, Tian Wu, and those Fei nobles who have fled, it is just a matter of shooting...... I hate it. ”

"Forty years ago, I killed a wicked man and took off his head. On that day, Mozi met me, saw me using human heads to drink, and praised me after asking that this was a righteous act. ”

"I ripped off the flesh of the wicked man, and his head smelled of blood in wine, but it was the most pleasant I ever drunk. The forty armor soldiers of the Chu people grabbed me, I wounded the forty armor soldiers, threw the head of the wicked man to the ground and chopped it to pieces, and laughed away, and that was happy. ”

"If you are not a human being, why should you enjoy the power of the Emperor of Heaven?"

"If you depend on me, you should catch these people, tie them up in the martial city, and let the living people in the city eat their flesh, then you will be happy!"

Meng Sheng got up and said, "Gongzao, don't be carried away by anger." My Mo family has the biggest rules, although I am not happy, but only the rules can benefit the world. ”

"After Zi Mozi died, your swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, but if you want to calm the world's injustices, how many of you are there?"

Gong Zaoye raised his head and took a long breath, and said with a wry smile, "I know, I understand, I understand." But I'm just not happy. ”

Meng Sheng said softly: "There will always be an explanation for this matter. You've also read the appropriate letter. If we can't capture Tian Qing Tian Wu in the battle, and the unjust order is issued, even if Tian Qing Tian Wu flees to a small island in the East China Sea, we will definitely capture him. ”

"Although Linzi is big, sweating like rain, and the city wall is several feet, but in the eyes of us, it is not unbreakable!"

"The first thing that matters now is what Luhua said about moving the army, pacifying the women, transporting lime, liquor, grain, and cotton cloth. You are still in charge of this matter, and you must not be angry and abolish. ”

"Zi Mozi has his own responsibilities and good at his strengths. Shi also said, specializing in the art industry. Lu Hua has been adapting for a long time, and she has learned from Changsangjun, and she must listen to her about the epidemic. ”

Gong Zaoye nodded and said, "You're right. But I still have to lead a division tomorrow and go straight to Qufu. Take the big road, send scouts widely, and don't chase Tian Qing. ”

Meng Sheng nodded, indicating that he understood, Gongzaoye was preparing to lead the troops to take another road and go straight to Qufu, forcing Lu Hou not to lend grain to Tian Qing's army, this matter Pengcheng had already sent people on the road, but the army must bring the power of the Nanjishui victory and the tragic slaughter of Wucheng to Qufu, so that Lu Hou could express a position.

What Meng Sheng was most afraid of was that the heroic spirit in Gongzaoye's heart outweighed the discipline valued by the Mo family over the years, seeing Gongzaoye say this, although he agreed with this approach, he still said, "This matter is feasible." But in this matter, I want to lead the army. You should stay here. If you disagree, I will convene a meeting to force a resolution on this matter, and I am afraid that your anger will spoil the matter. ”
