Chapter 85 Evacuation
[]
"The Hedong General Commander, Xi, Rouran and other foreign people were suspicious in their appearance, and they had to be interrogated strictly. They must not misplace a Khitan to escape; they all resisted and killed them..."
When Xu Huai and Xu Wuji and Zhou Jing were looking for clues in the yard behind, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the long street outside. When they walked out of Sujin Tower, they saw a messenger riding on the horse, grabbing the reins with one hand and holding the silver medal arrow with the other, and loudly read Ge Boyi's latest military order to the general of Tianxiong Army stationed in front of Sujin Tower.
The messenger quickly rode his horse to read out the military order. Xu Huai frowned slightly, but he didn't expect that Ge Boyi would order another escalation of the search operation so quickly.
And he was also stunningly "I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go."
The foreign people in the border province were originally strong, and it was normal for Ding Zhuang to practice martial arts and carry weapons when he went out of the city and the streets. This time, Ge Boyi wanted to treat the foreign people who carried and privately stored weapons as suspicious of the Khitan. He granted more power to the generals and soldiers responsible for searching, and it was difficult to avoid chaos.
In border prefectures, the conflicts between the foreign and Han people were deeply rooted.
On the one hand, there is indeed a lot of foreign people who are willing to attack cities and plunder villages for the invading Khitan cavalry. They are also cruel to slaughtering Han people. They cannot blame the Han people for their hearts to believe that these foreign people are not our race, and their hearts must be different. On the other hand, the foreign people also feel that they live in the Han area, but are deeply excluded and suppressed, which makes the ethnic groups more united and xenophobic, and the reaction is quite fierce when encountering wind and fire.
At this time, there were more than 300 people in the forbidden wing army that were cleaning up the mess near Sujin Tower, and some were the sword archers of the county lieutenant.
They were also the main force in searching for Khitans in East Street and nearby urban areas, and they were also killed and injured by the French people who were raided from Sujin Tower.
They had already gritted their teeth in their hearts.
At this moment, with a clear military order, the commander of the Tianxiong Army, the leading Tianxiong Army, ordered the Xiang Army and the county magistrate, to continue to stay in Sujin Building to clean up the mess. He personally led the Xiao 200 Tianxiong Army, like a tiger and wolf, to conduct a more severe search of the residences on both sides of the stone street.
If you knock on the door, you will directly knock it open; if you encounter obstacles, you will be treated as a resistance, and you will be combined with swords and guns.
Near Sujin Tower, the place where the foreign people lived the most concentrated, was the most concentrated place. With less than a stick of incense, the thirty or forty foreign people lived along the street, and were all knocked or hit by the doors by Tianxiong soldiers.
Almost all the foreign people hid their knives and weapons. Soon, forty or fifty adult foreign people were tied up and taken to the stone street to be directly taken to the military camp for interrogation. The foreign people were also fierce. Even though there were so many rioters in Sujin Tower and surrounded and killed, there were still people on the left and right to stop and resist, but there were only eight more dead bodies of rebels from the rebels.
Many Han people along the street also enthusiastically helped to break into the courtyard and search the foreign households.
The streets were in a mess, and many women and children from foreign households were dragged to the streets and beaten up, with wailing and screaming everywhere. After the search soldiers broke into the door and searched the house, the sleeves became bulging, which was normal.
Xu Huai was also very kind-hearted. It is not certain that he would say how much sympathize with the foreign people when he saw this scene.
If the troops who attacked Yan were elite enough and had enough control over the situation, and such an iron-blooded and cruel strategy was adopted when entering the enemy territory, it would not be ineffective in dismantling the local people's will to resist.
Throughout history, many famous generals have even intentionally indulged their subordinates in burning, killing, and looting in the enemy territory.
In addition to dismantling the enemy's will to resist, it also gives the generals and soldiers the opportunity to vent the hostility accumulated by hard battles, or as a reward to the winner.
There is never any kindness in war.
The problem is that the most elite personal soldiers of the Tianxiong Army paid such a great price just to eliminate the forty or fifty foreign citizens who were agitating the Khitan to resist with weapons. After entering the Khitan Xijing Dao territory and arousing the general resistance of the local foreign citizens, how much hope can there be to win this war?
However, Xu Huai didn't feel that he still had any ability to curb the spread of chaos at this time.
Wang Bing, Wang Fan did not really suppress Ge Boyi's power and reputation, and it was impossible to stop the chaos.
At this time, two people who looked like yamen runners in the state government led a team of civilians to pull several donkey carts, parked in front of Sujin Tower, and brought all the corpses piled up on the street into donkey carts.
Before Chen Zixiao left, Xu Huai would not observe the subtleties around him too seriously. It was obvious that Xu Wuqi also attracted Chen Zixiao's attention, so he stood in front of Sujin Tower and talked to Xu Wuqi.
After a while, Zhou Jing approached them and whispered: "There are problems with this group of civilians. There are two people who secretly confront Chen Zixiao!"
Xu Huai glanced at the group of people, all of whom were dressed in tatters and unkempt faces.
Few people in the city are willing to collect corpses. The yamen epidemic often drives hungry people who live on the streets and refugees to do so. This is indeed the easiest way to block their original faces, so that people cannot see any abnormalities.
Xu Huai calmly called the two leading yamen runners over and asked, "Where are these corpses to be transported to deal with?"
"First send it to the manager's office for inspection, and then drag it to Hei Songgang outside the East City to bury it." Two yamen runners stood in front of Xu Huai and replied.
Xu Huai and Xu Wuji and Zhou Jing took a look.
The British people were strictly prohibited from entering the city gate in the morning. Now further searches and escalation are escalating. Considering the hatred of the British people, the confrontation will intensify. If the Khitans still lurk in the city, the risk of exposure will also increase, but it will also become extremely difficult to enter and exit the British people.
However, the corpse transport team organized by the state yamen will obviously not attract the attention of the city gate defenders.
"Xu Dujiang, why are you interested in these corpses?" Chen Zixiao noticed that Xu Huai and the others were staring at the pile of corpses in Sujin Tower and walked over and asked.
"I heard from the king's grandson that the Khitans were used to cutting off the heads of powerful enemies, using them as urinals at night and as wine vessels during the day. Why do you think the Khitans are so stupid? You don't feel embarrassed?" Xu Huai narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Zixiao and said, "As far as I tell you, you have to pick two good heads to cut them off, and use them as urinals separately. The wine vessel is decent enough!"
As Xu Huai spoke, he turned around and walked to the donkey carts filled with corpses, and picked them up like picking melons and vegetables.
The Khitans and Xi people and Xianbei people have little difference in appearance, and it is not ruled out that the Khitans will select Xi people in their country and Xianbei people will train, but they can still see the difference if they do not ride and archery for a long time. Xu Huai quickly found two corpses and said to Chen Zixiao: "These two corpses look good. The muscles and bones are thick and strong, and the skulls are also round. Chen Zixiao, do you want to cut two heads back to pee and drink?"
Chen Zixiao's forehead twitched slightly and said with a smile: "If we cut off our heads without authorization, these corpses will be incomplete when they are sent to the Manager's Court. I'm afraid these two masters will not be able to hand over the wrong ones..."
The two yamen runners were also afraid that Xu Huai would destroy the body at this time, so they asked them to go to the supervisor's office to make a deal, so they all came up to agree to the begging.
"It's so noisy. When the manager's office has inspected and found that these corpses are to be transported to Hei Songgang to cover them, you rushed to Nanyu Lane Zhufeng Hall and said, "I can cut off a few heads to play - if you have the courage, be careful to call me to bump into me next time, and try the iron fist that is big!" Xu Huai stared at the two yamen runners, raised his fists and said viciously.
When Niu Er led the horse, Xu Huai turned over and rode on the horse, and rushed to Nanyu Lane with Xu Wuji and the others.
"There must be weapons hidden in the mezzanine of the donkey cart. When you were choosing a corpse, a tall and thin civil servant reached under the car board for a while. It was obvious that your words were very exciting to him; Chen Zixiao deliberately blocked your and Mr. Shi's vision," in front of Han Qi and Niu Er, Zhou Jing also called Mr. Shi as Mr. Shi, and drove to Xu Huai and asked, "Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on the civil servant here?"
"There is no need to watch the whole process for the time being, as it is easy to show off. Let's arrange for one person to guard the gate of the East City to see if they will indeed transport the bodies to Hei Songgang." Xu Huai said.
Chen Zixiao lurked to Guo Zhongxiong and Yue Hailou. Once they contacted the core secrets and needed to be passed on in time, they could not easily give up this channel that could enter and exit Guilan City.
Even if they have to keep an eye on this group of civilians, they have to make more careful arrangements.
The chaos could not be stopped, but after leaving East Street, he saw more generals and soldiers of Tianxiong Army walking out of the barracks and participating in the search, which was a rare opportunity to see the whole picture of Tianxiong Army. Xu Huai and Xu Wuji did not rush to return to Nanyu Lane, but walked around the city several times before returning.
As soon as I arrived in Nanyu Lane, I saw Su Laochang accompanying two doctors into Dongqianyuan and asked: "What's going on? Who is in good health in Dongqianyuan?"
"The imperial guards searched the enemy in a large number of shocks. The prince was afraid that the soldiers would not restrain themselves, which aroused the rebellion of the foreign people, and only increased the resistance of the northern expedition, so he went to Ge Boyi to advise him," Su Laochang shrugged and said, "But Master Lu came back with him, so he ordered us to find the doctor immediately, and told us to prescribe a few doses of heart-sporting medicines and come back..."
Wang Bing could see such chaos that it would be harmful to the northern expedition to Yan, but with his reputation, he could not persuade Ge Boyi at all, and he would still be angry and Xu Huai didn't know what to say.
Xu Wuji and Zhou Jing also looked at each other.
They had previously advocated that Chen Zixiao would be exposed, but now they believed what Xu Huai said before. Even if they exposed that Chen Zixiao was a matter between the Khitan enemy, there would be no substantial help...
