The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 326
"These people who were taken away either had blood feuds with the government, or the crimes they committed were too big, or they were the closest relatives. After the conflicts intensified, they also saw it more clearly, contacted them privately, and then they all Assemble. As for the others, they are all discarded." Ah Si said in a deep voice.

Hao Jingcheng pressed his palms together, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "A strong man breaks his wrist...they are still decisive."

Seeing Hao Jingcheng's serious expression, Yang Feiyan couldn't help asking, "Among them, there are still people with two hearts?"

Hao Jingcheng shook his head and said: "There are still spies, but it is difficult to affect the combat power. Firstly, they are die-hard elements, and secondly, if they want to exchange their heads for rewards, they don't have to follow them. Just stay on the island and kill people." , the matter is over."

"In this way, the influence I placed in their hearts can be regarded as being taken out. There are 4000 people, and some of them are probably family members. But after leaving the cottage, it is still a big problem. Let's ignore the people in the cottage. This group of people , we must kill them all... We should prepare to chase after them, and notify 2000 people from Langya Ridge to join us, and notify all states and counties to cooperate." Hao Jingcheng gave the final order.

He thought for a while, and then said to Ah Si: "Ah Si, you take a few people to Zhang Commander's side, let him divide the troops, and you are responsible for contacting the two sides. Tonight, you can watch the play over there. "

Ah Si nodded, seeing Hao Jingcheng's seriousness, he didn't dare to delay, and said, "I'll go right away."

Hao Jingcheng hurriedly stopped him and said: "In addition, no matter whether there are family members or not, on average, more than three people will be taken down on the mountain, and Commander Zhang will detain them all. After this battle, they will either join the army or go with me temporarily. , this group of people cannot be sent back now!"

Seeing the puzzled expression on Ah Si's face, Hao Jingcheng waved his hands and said, "Of course, I don't need to explain this for now, I'll talk about it when I come back!"

After a pause, he added: "Also, once the fighting on the mountain is not so fierce, let Commander Zhang send troops to clean it up. Even if there are no heads, as long as they don't resist, they can all be released. They are the cleanest now. Yes. Killing these people... doesn't make much sense anymore."

"Yes." After Hao Jingcheng made the arrangements, Ah Si nodded. Although there were still many things in his mind that he couldn't understand, he chose to carry out the order unconditionally at this time, leading a few people to ride fast horses, according to Hao Jingcheng's instructions. commanded to do so.

An order was issued here, and the army began to follow the order. Under the moonlight, following the little fires of the imperial army, they pursued the rebels in the distance. Farther away, there were dark mountains and rivers. Outline.On the side of the field of vision, the huge island is still burning and fighting in the dark, and it is unknown when it will stop.

The rebel cottage fell, and only [-] people headed by Li Lei remained at large. The pursuit of them has become a new problem before the eyes of all states, counties and officers and soldiers!
On this day, it was just dawn, and the atmosphere in the states, counties, and villages on the east and north banks of the Shanzhai was uneasy and restless. The states and counties closed the city gates. everything in the dark.

In villages without city walls, stockades, and places where people live together, some Lizheng and Baojia were also awakened from their dreams by messengers. They woke up the villagers and farmers, and came out with weapons.Many people were awakened because of this, they lit up the lights, and then they were urged to blow them out, the lights came on one after another, and then everyone was guarding everything outside in the dark, in the night wind, only dogs barked, and occasionally Come.

The cottage has been broken, and the bandits have started to break up and flee.Such news spread around at the fastest speed in the early hours of the morning.Before this, even the most well-informed people only knew that the local government army had just started attacking the stronghold a few days ago, and within three days, the stronghold was broken.

The distance is too far, and the ordinary villagers around may not fully understand the strength of the rebel army. For most people, it is not surprising to hear the news that the officers and soldiers have returned home. Of course, neither of the two kinds of existence can be measured by themselves.

But at this time, only the bandits who fled after the war are closely related to everyone's life.

In fact, on the stretching mountains and shores of Qinglong Mountain, the defeated cottagers were indeed fleeing in different directions.During this period, there are large groups of forces, as well as relatives and friends who are accompanied by small groups.

Just on the northern slope of Qinglong Mountain, the night wind inspired the fire, and a rebel army that was being chased by officers and soldiers was completely bitten, and then surrendered.

Rain of arrows, javelins, the leading generals and soldiers were killed, and they fought together on the mountain road and among the woods on the bank.On the other side of the cottage, several leaders fought hard, calling for everyone to rush into the woods. Taking advantage of the night, hundreds of people fled towards the surrounding fields, villages, and wild forests.

In some places, some people stopped on the shore full of weeds and rocks in small boats, and helped their wives or family members who were carrying burdens down. They held the knives in their hands, or threw weapons into the In the water, after looking back at the night, he finally left, praying in his heart that he would not be caught on the next road.

On the east side of Qinglong Mountain, the dilapidated small mountain village is still immersed in the darkness of night. A thin girl born in a peasant family has already woken up and went to fetch water from the small river beside the village with a wooden bucket. When the night wind blows, she He squatted there, closed his eyes and took a breath of the cool morning air, and then a strange wave came over.

She opened her eyes wide and looked ahead, but she couldn't see much.Until... a group of people covered in blood appeared. This group of people looked hideous and terrifying, and a strong smell of blood came from their bodies.

The girl was stunned for a moment, turned around and was about to run, and then there was a loud noise, and horses galloped from a distance, breaking the tranquility of the night.

A restless air began to appear in the firelight, and the crowd dismounted from their horses and began to flood the dilapidated small village.

Fires were lit in some of the houses, dogs barked, and arrows shot down, right through the dogs' throats.

The girl fetching water was hit by the rushing horse and her legs were broken, and her whole body was crushed in a piece of broken ruins. While crying, her body was still trembling. Looking at the group of vicious people in front of her, the girl's eyes were full of horror. look.

The man who came down from the horse looked at it, hesitated for a moment, but shook his head. At this time, there is no way to live. He said softly, "Girl, I've set you free."

After saying this, he pulled out the knife and stabbed it into the girl's neck. After the blood spurted out, the girl finally stopped moving.
