Chapter 210 Nipping the Threat in the Bud (2 in 1)
Chapter 210: Tampering threats in the bud
The Tang army soldiers slowly entered the city, and all the surrendered Xia army soldiers and captives slowly came out of the city. The defense handover in Xingyang City was proceeding in an orderly manner. On April 7, the third year of Wude, the Tang champion general Chen Ying led his troops to conquer Xingyang.
This battle annihilated more than 3,000 enemies and captured more than 14,000 people. From the start of the battle to the end of the battle, it was definitely a beautiful blitzkrieg. The battle was so powerful that this Eastern Palace army led by Chen Ying was shocking. After this battle, the name of the Eastern Palace's strong army resounded throughout the world, and Chen Ying was also a brilliant general in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty.
However, Chen Ying, who won a great victory, was not at all happy in his heart, because he knew very well that this was a war without a winner.
Although the war led by Li Shimin was praised in "Book of Tang" and "Zizhi Tongjian" that was extinct in the world and was rare in the sky, Chen Ying knew very well that the Spring and Autumn style could not conceal the terrible fact that the world was completely ruined and the population of China was reduced by two-thirds. The most tragic thing is that this rebellion was completely avoided, but the aristocratic clans made this war for the distribution of power and interests.
Chen Ying climbed up to the city gate tower, looked at the corpses all over the city gate tower, and looked at the fireworks in Xingyang City, and let out a wild roar: "It's all damn!"
When Chen Ying saw the surviving soldiers of the Beiwei Army, he saw that less than half of the soldiers of the Beiwei Army were as heartbroken as a knife.
"Where is Liu Tong? Where is Xun Xiang?" Chen Ying swept around the Beiwei Army soldiers who survived the city gate tower, but did not find Xun Xiang and Liu Tong. A bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
The soldiers of Beiwei Army also looked at each other, and a Beiwei Army soldier plucked up his courage and said, "Report to the general, I just watched General Xun here..."
Chen Ying roared, "Then why don't you go find it quickly. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find them. You have to see people in your life and corpses in your life!"
The soldiers of the Tang army began to move quickly. They looked around and looked at the corpses everywhere, looking for Zhong Xunxiang and Liu Tong. However, soon after, Liu Tong, covered in blood, came to the city gate tower to report to Chen Ying, but Xunxiang kept checking without a trace.
...
In front of the courtyard of the backyard of Huang Widow in the south of Xingyang City, Xunxiang was covered in blood and came to the gate of the Xiuzhuang with disheveled hair. He was holding a bloody head in one hand. This head was Liu Jintang, so Xunxiang was casually wrapped in a piece of rag. Every time he walked forward, dry blood scabs or blood that had not yet been completely solidified would fall on his body.
At this time, there were still sporadic chaos in the city. Many Xia soldiers who saw no way out and were unwilling to wait for death and the gangsters who wanted to take advantage of the situation, took advantage of the Tang army not fully controlling Xingyang, and they rushed into the homes of many people, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to grab money and women, venting their final madness.
In fact, seeing that the overall situation was settled, Xunxiang did not even meet with Chen Ying, so he rushed to Nancheng. As a member of Liu Wuzhou's rebel army, he knew that the nature of these rebel army was definitely worse than beasts when they became crazy. There was only Widow Huang and his pair of daughters in the embroidery shop. It was impossible for three women to protect themselves in this troubled times.
There were still a hundred steps away from the Xiuxiang Village. Xunxiang heard shrill crying sounds coming from the Xiuxiang Village. Xunxiang couldn't help but be anxious. He ran faster. Even though his lungs were like a bellows, he felt like a needle pricking every time he breathed, but Xunxiang didn't dare to stop because he knew that once he stopped, he would part with Xunhuang, Da Ya, and Er Ya forever.
"Don't come over, don't come over..." As soon as he walked to the gate of the embroidery village, Xunxiang heard Erya's panic screams. Xunxiang didn't have time to think about it, so he pushed the door, but after pushing it, the door didn't move at all.
At this moment, Erya Jiasi's roar came from the room, "Ah...ah! Then, there was a sound of sharp blades entering the flesh, and the sound of blood squirting.
Xunxiang didn't know where he came from and suddenly crashed into the gate.
With a loud "bang!", Xun collided and opened the door and rushed into the room. At this moment, he was stunned.
I saw Da Ya and Xun Huang fell to the ground on the bed, not knowing life or death, especially on Xun Huang's forehead, a large bulging bag appeared, obviously being knocked unconscious by a blunt weapon. As for Da Ya, she looked even more miserable, and half of her underwear was torn off. As for Er Ya, she held the dagger given to her by Xun Xiang with her hands, and stabbed the uninvited guest in the room one by one.
This was a magnificent Xia army soldier, his arms were even thicker than Erya's thighs. However, at this time he was like a rag doll poked into a sieve, and blood was spraying everywhere.
Erya seemed to have not seen the arrival of searching for her, and still stabbed the corpse that had no life characteristics.
Xunxiang knew that Erya was stimulated and was already crazy at this time. The best way to let her have a good sleep. Not to mention that Erya is a nine-year-old child, she is probably an adult, and she will be frightened and mentally ill when encountering such a thing.
Xunxiang reached out and pressed his hand on Erya's neck, and Erya fell softly into Xunxiang's arms.
Xunxiang pulled up the quilt and covered it with Da Ya's body, and reached out to pinch the people who were Xun Huang.
After a long time, Huang woke up slowly and found Xunxiang, he rushed into Xunxiang's arms and howled and cried. The big girl also woke up, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried again.
Da Ya was crying and telling Xunxiang the whole story. It turned out that shortly after Xunxiang left, the Xia soldier appeared in the embroidery shop, but they had already put the door on the door, so the Xia soldier did not rush in. Later, the city was in chaos, and there was a shout of killing. It was here that the soldier suddenly jumped in from the window. Xunxiang turned his head and looked at the already rotten window frame.
The soldier knocked Huang with a whistle stick and knocked Da Ya out of the way, trying to do something wrong. However, he did not take Er Ya, the nine-year-old doll, seriously.
But it is precisely because of this negligence that I have left my life here.
I found a time to comfort the Huang family's mother and daughter.
The experience of the Huang family mother and daughter is just a microcosm of this era. The war left behind not only the light of the god of war, but also the infinite pain of the people.
Xunxiang said, "Don't worry, I'm here, you are not afraid. Now clean up and throw away what should be thrown away, and give up what should be abandoned. You all follow me to Chang'an to live a good life!"
...
Liu Xiyao saw that Chen Ying had no intention of recruiting him. He was very disappointed and desperate. Even the ants were alive, let alone a person? However, Liu Xiyao was not as begging for mercy as Chen Ying. He said coldly: "If you win, you will kill and shave. Please let my brothers go..."
"You can't decide whether to let go or not, nor do I have the final say!" Chen Ying coldly pointed to the devastated Xingyang City and said, "As long as they are not stained with the blood of ordinary people, they will be fine. But if they really kill innocent people and bully women, the king of heaven cannot save them. As long as people do evil, they must accept justice..."
"Liu is grateful to give them a fair treatment." Liu Xiyao lowered his voice and said, "There is a cellar in the back hall of Xingyang Prefecture, which contains the property we have robbed in the past half month, about 340,000 yuan. You can take it all, don't take those guys."
Chen Yingwei was happy and said, "Thank you."
Liu Xiyao was stunned and said incomprehensible: "Is 300,000 guan of money not enough to buy my life?"
"This code is the same!" Chen Ying said calmly: "That money is mine, you think you can still take it away!"
Liu Xiyao said: "But, this was something we snatched from Zheng!"
"Do they dare to ask me if I want it?" Chen Ying smiled coldly: "I ate the meat in my mouth and wanted me to spit it out again, but there was no door."
Liu Xiyao laughed and said, "Okay, okay, Liu and General Chen are also fellows! Most of our brothers are good families. If we really can't live, no one will go this way. If we can save their lives, don't kill them all. Liu is also grateful to him in the underworld."
Chen Ying said: "I remember."
Chen Ying looked at Liu Xiyao again, sighed, walked to him, took off his sword and handed it on his hands: "Please."
Liu Xiyao stared at Chen Ying and said very seriously: "Are you not afraid that I will take you as a hostage and force your subordinates to put down their weapons?"
Chen Ying said: "As long as you have this ability, you can try it."
Liu Xiyao laughed loudly and pulled out the horizontal knife, and a pool of sword light illuminated his face. He gently stroked the blade and praised him: "Good knife, good knife! It will definitely be enjoyable to use it to chop the heads of Turkic people!"
Chen Ying said: "If you like it, I will use this knife to bury you with."
"Thank you! In this way, I can use this horizontal knife to taste the taste of slashing the Turkic head in the underworld!" Liu Xiyao laughed loudly, reached out and untied his clothes, pressed his heart with the tip of the knife, and used a force to the horizontal knife into the handle, and passed by the hole in his chest. Blood spurted out straight along the blood groove. He staggered, fell to the ground, and his body began to spasm.
Chen Ying calmly attracted Guo Luo and Zhou Qing and asked them to take their personal soldiers to the Xingyang Prefecture Office.
Seeing Liu Xiyao lying softly on the ground, Li Xiuning said, "Are you interested in him? Why don't you surrender him? We each have their own masters!"
"Surrender him!" Chen Ying gave up just by flashing this idea. When he learned that Liu Jintang and Liu Xiyao were both members of Liu Heita's tribe, Chen Ying made up his mind and never let him go. His purpose was to make Liu Heita crazy.
As the saying goes, if you want to destroy the enemy, you will first make it crazy. If Liu Heita fights Chen Ying at this time, it is exactly what he wants, because Liu Heita is really too dangerous. He recovered all the prefectures and counties under Dou Jiande in just half a year, defeated Li Shimin, and almost subverted the Tang Dynasty. The most important thing is that after the Liu Heita rebellion, almost all the young and strong Hebei died, and until the Yonghui period, Hebei did not recover its vitality.
As long as Liu Heita jumps out now, Chen Ying will be absolutely sure to kill Liu Heita and eliminate this rebellion that almost shaking the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in its infancy.
In the cellar in the backyard of Xingyang Mansion, boxes of large nanmu boxes were slowly lifted out of the cellar. Even though Li Xiuning had no idea about money, he looked at the piles of hundreds of large boxes and said in a daze: "So much money!"
The large silver ball weighing more than 300 kilograms has fifty-three. The gorgeous and exquisite gold jewelry and wine utensils have more than ten boxes. The most bizarre thing is that there are copper columns cast by as many as thousands of kilograms of brass, boxes of jewelry, jade, and gems...
"Good!" This place is even wider than the national treasury! After a long time, Luo Shixin came back from his dizziness and stroked a giant silver winter melon, not without emotion: "It is hard to imagine that the Xia army has plundered so many treasures in Xingyang City alone!"
Chen Ying said: "This is actually just a part. When Dou Jiande retreated, someone had seen him pick up more than a thousand cars of valuable items from Xingyang City. He could use Dou Jiande's Yulin Army to take action. It seems that it is not an ordinary thing!"
Luo Shixin said: "How much money do you think Zheng's family has?"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "This is my money, what does it have to do with them!"
Li Xiuning's little heart was jumping around, like a deer pounding inside. She looked at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, and said dryly: "Isn't this right? These are all..."
"These are mine...of course, they are ours!" Chen Ying smiled slightly and ordered Guo Luo: "Hurry up and count them and see how much money is!"
Guo Luo said excitedly: "I understand it in a humble way!"
After a day and night counting, the numbers came out. There were 250,000 taels of silver, 130,000 taels of gold, 60,000 kilograms of brass, and more than 600 pearls. In addition, there were countless valuable things like silk, jade, porcelain, mahogany furniture.
Chen Ying said to Guo Luo: "Hurry up and transport these property to Changqing Forest, don't stop for a moment!"
Guo Luo expressed his understanding.
Guo Luo collected large carts from Xingyang City. Of course, Guo Luo was also very smart. He did not transport these property directly out of Xingyang. After all, these wealthy property require hundreds of large carts to be transported away. It is absolutely difficult to cover up the eyes and ears.
Although Zheng's losses were heavy, Zheng could not do anything to Chen Ying now, but once the trouble came to the Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin, Chen Ying would explain for a while.
Chen Ying was afraid of trouble, so when Guo Luo was transporting property, he placed two large boxes underneath, laying straw or reed mats on the big boxes, and then placed incomplete corpses on it. These large trucks carrying corpses slowly left Xingyang City, but no one dared to approach the large truck carrying "corpses".
...
When the news that nearly 20,000 troops under his command were wiped out in Xingyang, when Liu Jintang was killed, Liu Xiyao committed suicide, and the news that nearly 20,000 troops under his command were wiped out to Dou Jiande's hands, Dou Jiande's hand trembled involuntarily, knocking over the hot tea until the tea soup made him scream.
After a while, Dou Jiande forced himself to calm down, rushed to the sand table, looked at the sand table, and kept sucking the air. He didn't know if Dou Jiande was hot or scared.
He is not afraid of losing Xingyang, and losing 20,000 troops is not fatal. The most troublesome thing is how he told Liu Heita about this. With Liu Heita's nature of protecting the situation, once he learned that Chen Ying had killed his nephew and cousin, Liu Heita would probably go crazy immediately.
When he thought of this, Dou Jiande's temples thundered, his blood pressure surged, his breathing became heavier, his teeth became itchy, and his eyes became redder. He really wanted to swing a knife and chop Chen Ying with one knife.
At this moment, another news came. This news was definitely bad news for Dou Jiande.
Because Li Jiancheng came to Hedong.
