Chapter 704: Pit Killing
Of course, the court did not give up the last glimmer of hope, since the three major factions were not strong, they directly contacted Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming.
At this time, the imperial court almost responded to requests, and the meaning of the words was that the Shang Dynasty Sect could talk about whatever conditions were mentioned.
The reason is very simple, no matter what accounts you have to settle, you must pass this pass first, stabilize the Shang Dynasty Sect first, and then say, if you can't get through it in front of you, what will you talk about in the future.
......
The army finally walked out of the muddy area, and the limbs of Zhang Hu's mount completely turned into mud legs, and he looked back, waiting for the carriage carrying Meng Shanming to come ashore from the mud.
The soldiers who came ashore one after another were also covered in mud, most of them rolled up their trouser legs, and their smelly shoes hung on their shoulders, and they were all tired enough.
Those prisoners with heavy baggage were even more unbearable, the Yan army at least had a full meal, they only drank some soup and water, and their ears were cut off and injured, and now they were carrying heavy loads, and they were exhausted, and some people collapsed on the ground as soon as they came ashore and did not want to move.
This is the reason why Meng Shanming kept them from killing for the time being, it was inconvenient to march in flooded places, and these prisoners were used as labor!
Seeing that some prisoners were lying down, the escorted Yan Jun immediately went up and punched and kicked them, forcing them to get up.
Zhang Hu ignored this scene, and just waited for the carriage to come up and go over to greet him.
Accompanying the carriage to the side to watch the follow-up people go ashore, Zhang Hu tentatively said to Meng Shanming in the car window, "Do these captives really want to be handed over to the imperial court as bargaining chips?"
Meng Shanming said expressionlessly: "Inform all departments, after you go ashore, you will be killed on the spot!"
"Pit killing?" Zhang Hu was taken aback.
Meng Shanming slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking, Zhang Hu understood that he had heard correctly, so he went to carry it out.
What is pit killing? It is to be buried alive!
For Zhang Hu, it is better to kill than to slaughter him directly, I don't understand why Meng Shanming has to use such a terrifying method, but Meng Shanming's words are military orders!
After receiving Meng Shanming's military order, the various units that came out of Qunluo Mountain immediately concentrated the prisoners captured by the various departments, forced these prisoners to dig pits, dug countless large pits, and then forced these prisoners into the pits.
The final scene was horrible, with countless pits and countless captives wailing and begging for mercy.
But everything is under Meng Shanming's control, he was injured, he didn't eat enough, the weight of the muddy ground was consumed, and then they were forced to dig a pit by themselves, and their physical strength was already exhausted, although there were 600,000 people, but these 600,000 elites had already been destroyed by Meng Shanming, even if they gathered together, they had no strength to resist.
The Yan army sergeant can easily send them into the pit with a kick or a gentle push, and it will be difficult for them to climb up if they go down.
A group of Yan soldiers gathered around the pit to shovel and splash soil, and the movement in the pit was terrible, and those who had a little strength to climb up were shot over by the surrounding archers.
The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, and all beings are like ants, indifferent to the tragedy on the earth.
When all the big pits were filled, the world was quiet, the people buried in the ground couldn't make a sound, and the Yan Jun on the ground didn't seem to want to speak after witnessing this scene.
For this group of murderers, this scene will never be forgotten for a lifetime!
Of course, they didn't kill them all, Meng Shanming left a little alive, and let them eat a full meal, let them bring back what they saw and heard to report the news, and let them bring the words back!
These immortal captives almost ran on the ground, and the fright they received will never be forgotten!
......
There were quarrels in the Song Jing court, some were neutral, some were noisy, some were blushing and their necks were thick, because of Meng Shanming's request for a large amount of grain and grass, the situation was not surprising.
Faced with the threat of the Yan army invading the country, Song Guo was going to propose peace talks, but seeing that Yan Jing took the initiative to negotiate, he knew that Luo Zhao's army threatened Yan Jing and had an effect, so he immediately sat on the ground and raised the price, and withdrew his troops with the conditions of disposing of Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming.
Song Guo knew that Yan Guo would not agree, because he knew that it would be difficult for the current Yan State court to do anything to Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming, but because of this, it would increase the weight.
The negotiation was like this, and the lion opened his mouth to sit and wait for a bargain to obtain favorable terms for the two sides to strike.
After all, who withdraws first and how, how far to withdraw first, how to release the prisoners, and how much to release first are all questions, and no one is at ease with the other party.
Who knew that after the additional conditions were put forward here, Meng Shanming's side also attached harsh conditions, exchanging prisoners for a large amount of grain and grass.
The men and horses led by Meng Shanming had already threatened the Song State, and if enough food and grass were given again, once Meng Shanming tore the false veil of peace talks, the consequences would be unimaginable.
I asked how the Song court could easily agree, but if it didn't agree, I was worried that Meng Shanming would take the opportunity to mess up.
Under the dilemma, how can the court of Song Jing not quarrel? The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and the quarrel was endless, and they were arguing about this matter for two days in a row.
At this moment, there was a voice outside: "Report!"
A eunuch came in a hurry like a mourner, and the hall was quiet, only to see the eunuch kneeling down in front of everyone's eyes, holding the report in both hands, crying bitterly and saying: "Your Majesty, the emergency report ahead, Meng Shanming's old thief is ruthless, my Song Dynasty 600,000 sons, except for the release of a hundred messengers, the rest were all killed by the old thief!"
As soon as this report came out, everyone in the hall changed color, and they all showed extremely shocked expressions.
Song Huang Mu Zhuozhen, who was sitting on the top, turned pale in an instant, stood up tremblingly, and asked with difficulty, "What did you say?"
The chief eunuch Mo Gao hurriedly came down and took the report from the eunuch and returned.
The eunuch who was kneeling on the ground raised his head and said with tears streaming down: "Your Majesty, my 600,000 sons of the Great Song Dynasty were killed by the old thief Mengshanming! The old thief Mengshanming said that he had received the news that we were arguing about grain and grass in the court, and he didn't plan to give it to him at all. The old thief also said that the Song army was still approaching Yanjing, and there was no sincerity in negotiating at all, saying that he was fooling him, saying that since he wanted to fight, he would accompany him, and said that since Song Guo did not care about the life and death of his own children, he did not need to be polite, so he ordered my 600,000 sons to be buried alive and killed!"
This is naturally Meng Shanming's excuse, Meng Shanming obeyed Niu Youdao's reminder, but the excuse that the Song army was approaching Yanjing was added by Meng Shanming himself.
After Meng Shanming received the news that Song Jun was still approaching Yanjing, how could he be a vegetarian, so he immediately thought of adding this article, clearly accusing Song Jun of being untrustworthy and accusing Song Guo of not being sincere in negotiation, but in fact, he was deducting basins on Luo Zhao's head.
Meng Shanming believes that the Song court and the emperor of the Song State will not take this responsibility, and can only be borne by Luo Zhao!
Luo Zhao had a good calculation, and wanted to use Yanjing as a bargaining chip, how could Meng Shanming fight with him.
They are all generals who fight in the unified army, so they naturally know what is most harmful, and they are afraid that the army will be unstable!
Luo Zhao is the commander of the Song Army, and the hat of 600,000 Song Army children is buttoned up to Luo Zhao, and the consequences can be imagined!
The two countries are at war, unscrupulous, Meng Shanming will not be polite, he is also putting Luo Zhao to death!
"Your Majesty, Luo Zhao has misled the country! He has long asked him to withdraw his troops to help, he resists the decree and does not respect it, he holds the military power in his hands, and insists on going his own way, and now 600,000 elites of the Great Song Dynasty have been killed, Luo Zhao is a thief who has misled the country!" Someone shouted sadly, this is the first to suggest that Luo Zhao withdraw his troops to help, and now he has finally found an opportunity to prove that he is right.
A military attache at the scene immediately angrily reprimanded, "Nonsense! This is clearly Meng Shanming's excuse, how can he be fooled!"
There was immediately another quarrel in the court.
Mu Zhuozhen, who was standing in front of the throne, held the report with both hands, his face was ugly, his hands trembled, and he suddenly raised his eyes and shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
The court instantly fell silent, and after a period of silence, Prime Minister Zi Pingxiu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, whether it is an excuse or something, Meng Shanming's move is undoubtedly ignoring the negotiations between the two countries, what he wants to do is already obvious, immediately call Luo Zhao to withdraw his troops and return to help!"
Mu Zhuozhen's cheeks twitched for a while, and he said sharply: "Break through Yanjing, slaughter the city!"
As soon as the word was spoken, the clapper made the final decision, first slaughtering Yanjing and then withdrawing the army!
At this point, the war provoked by the Song State suffered a big loss, 600,000 elites were killed, which is appalling, and the Song State did not bring back some results, so how did the Song State look at him as an emperor?
......
A convoy of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages of Yan Guo marched on the official road with more than 100 large boxes, and flags demanding talks were planted on the cars.
When they marched through the mountain, several Song monks who were in charge of patrolling flashed out of the mountain forest.
Although this place is far away from the main force of the Song army attacking Yan, it is impossible for the Song army not to arrange spies in the rear to prevent a surprise attack by the enemy.
Seeing the interview flag, the Song State Inspector showed up and stopped the carriage.
After confirming the identities of both parties, the leader of the Yan army, who was in charge of the escort, took out a letter and gave it to the other party, "The previous time the Governor of Luo gave us a gift to Meng Shuai, and I will give a heavy gift to the Governor of Luo on the order of Meng Shuai! ”
After the handover between the two sides, several monks did not embarrass these people who escorted the gifts, and there was no need for that, the two armies fought without killing the envoys, and let these people go.
It's just that this gift with more than a dozen cartloads of boxes made several monks curious, and they didn't know what the hell they were sent, and they could smell the stench, so they immediately opened the boxes and checked them.
Untied the rope from the carriage, and as soon as he loosened one of the buckles, he heard a "bang", and the lid of the box popped open on its own, startling several monks into alert.
I saw a bunch of things gushing out of the box like a spring, and it was all over the place, and there was a smoky stench.
What came out of the box was something like fungus, what kind of thing? After a few people looked at it clearly, "Vomit!" Someone couldn't help but cover their mouths and retch.
Ears! It's all human ears!
The ears that filled the box were already rotting and swollen during transportation, so they came out of the box on their own as soon as the box was opened.
The dense ears were terrifying, and even if they were monks, it was the first time they had seen such a disgusting scene.
I couldn't put all the ears back into the box.
After finally getting used to it for a while, several monks looked at the more than 100 boxes on the carriage, and looked at each other again, with questions in their eyes, could it be that these more than 100 boxes were all filled with human ears?
Thinking about it carefully, several people were already covered with goosebumps, and their hairs stood up.
