Chapter 722: It's all the persecution of the imperial court

That Zhang Xianzhong escaped from Majia Town with the remaining more than 200 subordinates, it was a lifeless run, and now he doesn't dare to be careless!

When it came out, there were 8,000 troops, but now there are only about 200 people left, and the fool also knows that the general trend has gone, and where can he still hold the border!

But there are still 40,000 or 50,000 family members in Dingbian, could it be that Zhang Xianzhong can't escape with 40,000 or 50,000 old and weak women and children!

This is naturally unrealistic, so Zhang Xianzhong instructed more than 200 people to quietly take their families out of the camp and not to alarm people.

He himself hurriedly returned to the cave next to his hometown and took out the orchid and the little egg, as for Zhang Xianzhong's other women, they didn't care.

In Zhang Xianzhong's view, they are just tools for their own venting, this escape is really troublesome, anyway, there is no shortage of women in these years, a few steamed buns can be exchanged for a mother-in-law, to put it mildly, this year, for men, it is also a good time to catch up, if you can't find anything, then you are not afraid of not finding your mother-in-law!

So Zhang Xianzhong directly took more than 200 subordinates, as well as more than 1,000 of their families, and went to Wanhua.

Not long after Zhang Xianzhong left, Liu Dazhong also came to Dingbian with front and back feet, and rushed to Zhang Xianzhong's camp in Dingbian along the way.

When I arrived at the camp, I found that there were all old and weak women and children, not a single strong man, there were still a lot of these old and weak, a large area of Wuyang and Wuyang, and when I looked at it suddenly, it was also a little scary!

Looking at such a scene, Liu Dazhong and the others were also stunned, they wanted to kill a special kill, but they never thought that this was the situation!

That Wang Dagang couldn't help but say to Liu Dazhong: "General, this ,,, this ,,, can't do it!" ”

Liu Dazhong looked at the frightened, crying and weeping old and weak women and children on the ground, it was also unbearable, in the final analysis, people's hearts are flesh and blood, in the face of the old and weak women and children who have no power to resist, a few people can go down the knife!

If this is an order, his reputation for the rest of his life will be ruined!

"Hey!"

Liu Dazhong sighed helplessly, and said, "Let's wait for the governor to come!" ”

In this way, Liu Dazhong did not embarrass these people, and even turned a blind eye and let them leave on their own.

However, for the money, food and property left by Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Dazhong held it tightly in his hand, waiting for Hong Chengchou's arrival.

In this way, these forty or fifty thousand old and weak women and children are in a bad crime, and when they see the official army coming, they naturally know that Zhang Xianzhong is defeated, and then think of some people who quietly took their relatives out before,

And their own sons and husbands, but they are nowhere to be seen, in this case, even a fool has guessed that his relatives are dead!

When their relatives died, the officers and soldiers grabbed the money and food in their hands, drove them out of the camp again, and didn't care about them!

Thinking about the old, weak, sick and disabled family, suddenly, the pain of losing their loved ones, coupled with the despair of the future, many people just have nothing to love, they have hanged themselves, or hit the wall and died.

Two days later, when Hong Chengchou came to Dingbian, when he saw this scene, he asked Liu Dazhong about the origin of the matter, and then Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh: "The world is like this, crying out in vain!" ”

After speaking, Hong Chengchou ordered his subordinates to clean up and bury the corpses, or burn them.

Afterwards, some people roughly estimated that the number of people who died should be 30,000, which is really a tragedy in the world!

After the matter of Dingbian was over, Hong Chengchou took his men and horses to Yanchuan and joined Cao Wenzhao.

The army was mighty all the way, and at this time, after the sweep of the two armies of Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao, the anti-kings from all walks of life were killed and wounded.

There are those who are not looked at by the officials and soldiers, and they are also extremely up-to-date, they just ran away early, or they scattered the team, went back to their respective homes, and looked for their own mothers, so along the way, Hong Chengchou and they also went extremely smoothly.

When Hong Chengchou and the others rushed to Yanchuan, Cao Wenzhao took You Shijin, Hao Sanbao, and Wang Denglin and they were already waiting thirty miles away from the county seat.

When they got closer, Cao Wenzhao and the others saluted respectfully to Hong Chengchou, and said: "The last general Cao Wenzhao greets the governor!" ”

"The last general, You Shijin, "Hao Sanbao" and "Wang Denglin", welcome the Governor!"

"Hahaha,,,"

Hong Chengchou saw that Cao Wenzhao was full of spirit and full of spirit, so he was also happy, got off the horse, and said: "A few generals, hurry up and be exempt!" ”

As he spoke, Hong Chengchou helped them up one by one, and then said to them: "General Cao, General You, General Hao, General Wang, several generals have been killing thieves for the country these days, and they have made outstanding achievements, and they have shared worries and problems for my son of heaven, and they are really the backbone of the country!" ”

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly was humble, and he didn't dare to be honest, he didn't dare to be.

Then Cao Wenzhao said to Hong Chengchou: "Your Excellency the Governor has worked hard all the way, please go into the city to rest for a day or two, and then it is not too late to discuss military affairs!" ”

"Well, the generals will go into the city with the Governor."

Saying that, Hong Chengchou took Cao Wenzhao and them into Yanchuan County.

As soon as I entered Yanchuan County, I saw that the streets and alleys were empty, and the shops along the street were all closed, except for the officers and soldiers standing guard along the way, I could hardly see a few ordinary people!

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but ask Cao Wenzhao: "General Cao, why is this Yanchuan County so depressed, it is that Dingbian, although it is the lair of thieves, there is no such scene!" Why is that? Does General Cao know? ”

Cao Wenzhao heard Hong Chengchou ask this, for fear that Hong Chengchou would misunderstand him and kill innocents indiscriminately, so that the people fled!

So Cao Wenzhao hurriedly replied: "Don't dare to deceive the adults, this Yanchuan County was like this before the end of the future, as far as the last general knows, it was the anti-thieves who lit the lamp before occupying Yanchuan, and this Yanchuan was already like this!" ”

"Oh!"

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but let out an "oh", and subconsciously looked around again, everywhere he could see, there were officers and soldiers, and at first he could see a few ordinary people, but now he can't see any of them!

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but ask again: "Does General Cao know why this is?" ”

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he was quite hesitant, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

When Hong Chengchou saw this, he said: "General Cao doesn't have to worry too much, if you have anything to say, General Cao can say it, this governor forgives you for your innocence!" ”

Since Hong Chengchou said this, Cao Wenzhao did not hesitate, but replied: "According to the last general's inquiry, there is such a scene in Yanchuan, and it is all forced by the imperial court!" ”
