The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 322 Chaos
After a little questioning, I found out how many of the hundreds of people who gathered at Jiangjun Ridge were released. The murderer Zheng Xiu couldn't count, but what he did was right. People, still can only be isolated temporarily.

Now, what worries Xi Maijun and others the most is what the other party did to these prisoners.Having said that, they are no longer taking it lightly, and hastily summoned a few captives brought to the island to make the most detailed inquiries about the whole situation.

There was still a vast rain curtain outside the meeting hall. The inquiry continued for several hours. In the afternoon, soldiers came to report that someone was riding a fast horse back in the heavy rain and was stopped by the soldiers in the cottage. Next, the other party also said that he had something to report to the leaders.

When that person was brought up, the questioning in the meeting hall was still going on, and everyone's spirits began to be a little numb. When this person was asked to answer, this person was also released. A fast horse came back immediately to report the whole thing.

The people have questioned the other people several times, including the release of more than 1000 captives, all the interrogation procedures, and what Hao Jingcheng said.Several soldiers were still hesitant to say these words at first, until Xi Maijun and others lost their temper, they finally said these words exactly, and Xi Maijun and others were able to understand the weight of those words.

"I killed it, can you catch it?"

It can almost be said that the terrifying image of the other party, along with these words, almost turned into an entity and appeared in front of everyone face to face.Because they can almost see the seriousness in the words and the possible consequences.

Among the more than 1000 people, there are more than 500 people who have been caught twice by the opponent, plus the opponent's record of taking the rebels from the peak state in three days, how many people will feel the opponent this time? The threat is beyond estimation.

Xi Maijun's voice was dry, and at this moment, he remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Let the village be on guard, check... find out how many people are still going back to the mountain under the heavy rain..."

After asking a little more, Li Lei got up and walked out of the meeting room without a word. When the rain came from the eaves, he walked forward while holding on to the wall.

Li Lei murmured in the sound of the rain: "In a certain life, I was honest and upright. I didn't do anything to offend my conscience. I treated all my brothers as my own brothers. Why did I become like this..."

"This is to... This is to kill people!" Li Lei suppressed his throat and growled in a low voice angrily. He originally thought that he could restore the Great Tang. As a descendant of Li and Tang, this has always been his dream. , But now it seems that this dream seems to be very far away.

The moonlight shines on the earth, and the rebel's stronghold is like a city trapped by a huge water swamp at this time. People's hearts are flowing, and more than a thousand people released from the barracks are also surrounding the city, making their own choices. A person who returned to Shuize by night was intercepted, or was investigated and cleared out, and many people have already hidden in the darkness of the cottage, infecting maliciousness bit by bit.

This time, it's not just a few cracks on the ice. If someone can see the whole situation, they will feel that this fortress belonging to the rebels has been destroyed from this moment, before it is attacked. Because these cracks are gradually splitting, peeling off, and collapsing.

The collapse of the entire rebel army was like an undercurrent hidden in the bottom of the water at first, and then expanded rapidly. The whole process did not last for a long time, and even before many people fully understood the truth of the situation, the cruel The reality has been pushed to everyone's eyes.

This afternoon, Xi Maijun and others learned what the other side was doing. Rumors had already spread quietly above the rebels, secretly eroding the dark side of people's hearts, just sneaking up on the rebels at night More than a dozen people were intercepted, and it is impossible to estimate the number of those who were not intercepted, or who had sneaked into the cottage through various connections.

The whole story of the battle at Langya Ridge, the reasons why the opponent came here, the fearful means and the determination of will, spread uncontrollably among the rebels in the next few days.

In the Battle of Langya Ridge, the more than 500 people who were released chose to wait and see at most, but this time, more than half of the people who really chose to stand in line because of fear in their hearts may have already reached more than half.

Those who went to Jiangjunling and chose to be frank or self-exposed were only a minority of these people.

In these years, those who can hang out in the green forest, or travel thousands of miles to find a job, among most ordinary people, belong to the category of active minds. Concealing one's identity is the perfect strategy for advancing, attacking, retreating and defending.

The opponent broke the siege of Langya Ridge in three days. If they really came to attack the rebels, could they really run to fight to the end?
These people who choose to wait and see are actually a breeding ground for betrayal, and as a weak individual, they can only sneak back to the rebel army first, even if they don't do anything bad, they can arrange their families in advance.

And once they were intercepted, they realized that the higher-ups might take them under the knife, and these people could only desperately cry for grievances, and at the same time exaggerate the course of the Battle of Langya Ridge, the horror of the opponent, and the helplessness of their own intentions.

"We didn't betray the rebels, we just wanted to come back early. It's true over there. We don't want to be suspected, so we have to come back secretly, otherwise there is no other way..."

These people all have relatives and friends in the rebel army. When it comes to the whole situation, friends and brothers can't let them go, but in a sense, they can only understand their actions.

On the second day, it was said that there were more brothers who sneaked back, but fewer people were intercepted.

It is said that there are some mid-level leaders who feel compassionate and secretly let them go.

Among the more than 1000 people who were released, those who had carefully considered in advance and chose their positions, after returning to the rebels and seeing this situation, they understood more clearly that only when the situation was more chaotic could they have a way out. , The frequency of talking about things and rumors in private with people around is gradually increasing.

In the first two or three days, the troubles did not stop there.

In the Jiangjunling area, the rebel soldiers who had been gathered because they were left behind were mixed with the captives who had been released. After realizing the fact that they were separated, people's hearts began to be shaken.

Many of them are still loyal to the rebels and took the initiative to explain the situation, but their family members are also on the rebels. If they are isolated and suspected, what is it?
