Chapter Seventy-Four: At the beginning of the war, God has mercy on all beings
"Retreated?"
Looking at the retreating Mongol army in the distance, Jin Meng was a little incredulous, until just now he thought that his army would be completely annihilated by the other party. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
With a long sigh of relief, Wang Shiyi skimmed Jin Meng, seeing his frowning and thoughtful appearance, the plumb hammer that fell in his heart swayed, the expected thing did not happen, is he not a spy?
Thinking about these things in his heart, his eyes dimmed a lot after seeing the remaining soldiers around him: "Although I don't know what happened, it should be." Also, tell our soldiers to collect the corpses of those dead warriors so that they don't become a wilderness. "If the people around you are really as they think in their hearts, I am afraid that all the people here will lie on the ground and be silent.
"Now that there is a shortage of manpower, you two should come over and help!"
In the distance, Yan Wei waved his hand at the two men.
He was wandering among the dead bodies in that place, and regardless of the blood stained in that place, as soon as he found a corpse that was still intact, he would clasp his hand around the neck or heart of the other person.
If he found someone alive, he would immediately open his mouth and call for someone to carry the wounded back so that he could receive adequate treatment.
Born in a medical family, he has already integrated the modern medicine taught by Xiao Feng, and is now in charge of medical affairs in the army. At this moment, he looked at those soldiers who were already tired, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid, if it was a little later, then they would really be wiped out.
And those soldiers were exhausted after a day and night of fierce fighting, and they were in dire need of rest to recuperate.
The rest of the soldiers all responded, looking at the comrades lying on the ground, and couldn't help but feel tears on their cheeks, and they were also helping to tidy up the battlefield and rescue the remaining soldiers.
After a day and night of fighting, they have already paid too much!
............
"I'm sorry, this is your son's pension, I hope you can take it. Holding the heavy bag in his hand, Sun Wuji lowered his head, not daring to look at the old woman in front of him.
However, the old woman was silent, just staring at the clothes in her hand, probably because she was bored, she suddenly turned her face to glare at Sun Wuji, and shouted, "Get out!"
Li Taichen sighed slightly, picked up the bag full of corn casually, and then solemnly placed it on the table, and whispered, "Auntie." I know that you are grieved by the sacrifice of your son, so the Lord has ordered me to give you this food for your future survival. And if you have any questions, you can also come to our Red Phoenix Army in the future to beg, and we will naturally solve it. ”
"Get out!"
However, there was no other reaction than the voice.
The two of them sighed together, and with a heavy heart, they walked out of the house.
They knew that the old woman's son was a soldier of the Red Phoenix Army, but in this war, that person did not escape the enemy's blade and died, leaving only the lonely old man in front of him.
Stepping out of the house, Sun Wuji's color swept around, and his feet were soft and almost fell to the ground.
Blood-colored eyeballs covered the eyes, and there were broken corpses everywhere, and there was a sticky slurry under his feet, which had already penetrated too much blood.
Seeing this hellish scene, Sun Wuji couldn't help but feel frightened, he touched his chest, the heart was beating violently, with thoughts kept flipping, Wu couldn't believe what was in front of him.
"Nothing!"
Taking the first step to help him up, Li Taichen shook his head.
"It's okay, I can barely hold on!" opened his mouth, Sun Wuji suddenly felt a thick substance gushing out of his abdomen, he couldn't control it at all, and immediately "vomited" and vomited out all the things he ate at noon.
It stinks and is rotten, and the smell that gets into the nose is still so bad.
However, in his eyes, Sun Wuji swept over Mu Ran next to him and looked at his people, and couldn't help but feel a little confused, and opened his mouth to ask: "But if this is war, then why should we resist?" There was no more peace on the street when he first came here, and on the contrary, the blood and gunpowder smoke in the sky made him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.
"You don't understand?" His gaze was calm, and Li Taiji just looked at Sun Wuji.
Sun Wuji shook his head and asked in a low voice, "If this is the end of our resistance, then is there any point in our fight?" Feeling the hostile gaze cast by the residents next to him, he couldn't stand it.
He and Li Taichen went to appease the frightened people in the city, but those people were not grateful, in fact, because most of their relatives had died in the war, they were full of resentment against the Red Phoenix army that occupied Taiyuan City.
If the Red Phoenix Army hadn't occupied Taiyuan City, would they still have suffered such a thing?
Thinking about these things, Sun Wuji felt as if he was stuck in a labyrinth of thoughts, and no matter how much he went around, he couldn't figure out why.
"Meaningful!"
Calm answer, but this answer still made Sun Wuji feel incredible after all, he was like looking at a stranger, staring at Li Taichen deadly, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Is this meaningful? Okay, then you tell me, let their families be shattered, let those fresh lives wither, this is the meaning of our existence? Because of us, their houses were destroyed, their food was robbed, their relatives were killed, all this is in front of my eyes, and also in front of yours." ”
His voice was already full of anger, that anger was completely a rebuke of his own powerlessness, and even more with confusion about the future, until this time Sun Wuji still couldn't understand why the lord who claimed to "purify the fire and burn the world and expel the Tartars" did such a thing?
"I don't understand, if it's just to protect the people, then can't it be enough to recapture the city of Luzhou? Why do they have to attack the city everywhere, and even fight here, so that everything for them is destroyed by this war. If that's the consequence, then what is the purpose of our fighting? Is it the same as the Mongols, just to fight for the chassis and manpower? In that case, what is the difference between us and the Mongols?"
"Of course there is a difference!"
Li Taichen opened his mouth and said, and the first rays of morning light had fallen in the distance, and the light scattered dispelled the darkness in the city, feeling the sunlight above his body, he raised his head to look at the rising sun in the distance, as if he could see the distant future: "Do you know how those Mongols treated us?"
"I don't know!"
"Good. Then let me tell you, in the eyes of those Mongols, we Han people are not even human slaves, just equivalent to those mules, horses, and donkeys, who have to bear the whipping of whips every day and night, and the only value is only to produce enough food, cloth, iron tools, and a series of other things for them, even if they die, no one cares, and the dead corpses will be refined into oil to make fire candles, which are used to play the last bit of value. Of course, human skins are also stripped off, and human hair is collected and used to be offered to the Tibetan tantras so that they can be made into delicate ritual vessels. ”
The words were quite calm, but when Sun Wuji listened slowly, he felt a tingling in his scalp, which made him uneasy to sleep.
He didn't realize the things described by Li Taijian, but when he listened carefully at the moment, he felt the creepy facts from them.
With the ferocity of the Mongols, these things are true.
"Will it be so miserable?"
"Of course, it's actually more brutal. But we are different, we will make sure that every Hermes-Epitek has their own farmland to cultivate, they will be guaranteed to survive, no one will scold them, no one will beat them, and no one will kill them. This is what we are trying to achieve, what we are trying to maintain, and what the Mongols lack. But just as before dawn is always the darkest, there will be many sacrifices to achieve this. Including us, including them, and everyone, it is inevitable that they will be sacrificed for this, otherwise this future will always remain just a conjecture on paper, and no one will go back to realize it. But as long as this goal can be achieved, then this war is meaningful!"
The jaw head replied, Li Taichen looked at the sun rising high in the distance in a daze, this sun is like a god who saves the world, dispelling the darkness that once covered Taiyuan City, and the once rich blood seems to be much duller, even the smoke that envelops the entire city has begun to dissipate, everything has gradually calmed down, and the people in the city have also begun to move, they help each other, and begin to rebuild the once destroyed family.
The traces of war remain, but people have begun to recover.
Is this the world I aspire to?
Mrs. Li doesn't know, only here to do and watch, just to see how far that person can go!
............
Probably because the battle was too fierce, the government of Taiyuan City in the past was also damaged to a considerable extent, and it was no longer able to bear its function as the administrative center of Taiyuan City.
Forced to be helpless, Xiao Feng had no choice but to find a simple square, and set up a tent on the square, while she stayed here and continued what she should do as a qualified lord. Beside her, Zhang Bangyi was presenting one document after another, so that she could give instructions in time, and then instruct the officials and soldiers to complete those things, so as not to cause more harassment.
By the time the instructions are completed, it will already be three poles in the sun.
It was only at this time that Xiao Feng took a little time to rest, but when she thought of what happened last night, she was extremely annoyed, and immediately asked, "What about Feng Lingzi?" If it weren't for this guy secretly contacting the Mongolian army and coming up with such a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, how could such a thing happen in Taiyuan City?
"He's already escaped!" Zhang Bangyi said slowly.
Xiao Feng snorted coldly and said angrily: "The ear in the wind is worthy of its reputation. It seems that he should have been prepared for a long time! Send me an order that if anyone captures and kills this person, he will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. By the way, do you know that the Mongols have also planted those spies in our army?"
After all, in Xiao Feng's mind, Zhang Bangyi's image has always been bad, and he is simply on the number one list of spies.
And in this time of crisis, he did not flee?
In this regard, although Xiao Feng was surprised, he was also a little proud, being able to suppress this person can be regarded as his outstanding ability.
Zhang Bangyi bowed his head and said: "According to what Wang Dong said, that Chen Ji once planned to coerce his soldiers into rebellion, but he discovered it in time, so he did not cause much chaos in the city. At present, Wang Dong is waiting outside the tent, I wonder if you are close?"
"Chen Sleepy?Wang Dong?" After chanting the names of the two people, Xiao Feng's mind immediately appeared in the appearance of the two people: "Are those two rebels who led the people to surrender when they were in Yushe City?" "When they were in Yushe City, if it weren't for these two people turning against each other, even if their Red Phoenix Army defeated the Mongols, they were afraid that the losses they would suffer would be much more serious.
Zhang Bangyi immediately responded: "That's right, it's the two of them!"
"In that case, let the king in. Dropping the file in his hand, Xiao Feng nodded.
So Zhang Bangyi immediately bowed his head and left, and after waiting for a while, Wang Dong walked into the account camp, carrying a box in his hand. At the edge of the box, several drops of bright red blood oozed out, and the blood was falling to the ground drop by drop, adding a bit of blood to the military tent out of thin air.
"Is it Chen's head?"
Staring at the wooden box, Xiao Feng asked.
Wang Dong's mouth opened and closed: "Exactly!"
"You killed it?"
"That's right!"
After all, he couldn't help but come, Xiao Feng was already a little sneering: "I heard that you have a very good relationship with him in private, why would you actually do such an act? Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you as a greedy person who is afraid of death?
Hearing this, Wang Dong's face trembled, and he immediately knelt on the ground with a "bang", and begged in a loud voice: "The subordinates have surrendered to the lord, so naturally they are the head of the lord and the horse, how dare they dare to violate the reason in the slightest? This thing is really damned, and I ask the lord to forgive me!"
His body trembled, and he was obviously terrified.
"Well, I know you've been wronged. Xiao Feng was a little impatient, but after waving his hand to open the box, he resealed it, and said, "As for this head, you should take it away and bury it well." Although he has violated the discipline of our army, the death is greater, and as for your negligence, it will be spared. Remember, don't do it again, you know?"
Hearing the disgust in the words, Wang Dong quickly got up, picked up the wooden box, and stepped out of the tent.
However, his face was already pale, almost indistinguishable from lime, whether it was to mourn the tragic end of his friend, or to mourn his inability to break free.
