Song Dynasty

Chapter 201
"Son-in-law, are you family?" Wang Shen laughed sarcastically.

He looked at Kong Yanzhou who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and suddenly felt sad for him.Once upon a time, how powerful Kong Yanzhou was.

He was originally a big bandit in Hebei. After the year of Jingkang, he sent troops to the south and joined Zongze's command. He also received a large number of elite troops from the Western Army.After defecting from Tokyo, the Kong family army swept across Henan and Huaihe Rivers, burning, killing and looting all the way. Like locusts, they committed heinous crimes.

In the real history, after this person surrendered to the puppet Qi, he became the vanguard of the Kingdom of Jin to attack the Southern Song Dynasty with Li Cheng and Li Qiong, and he was a well-known fierce general on the battlefield in the early Southern Song Dynasty.

Aside from his despicable character, this man has rules in his use of troops and is a formidable opponent.Later, the Yue family army also spent a lot of effort in eliminating this puppet army.

But just such a representative figure in the battle between Song and Jin in the early Southern Song Dynasty was kneeling humblely in the water at this moment, like a bereaved dog.

"Yes, yes, it's a family!" Kong Yanzhou looked at Wang Shen flatteringly: "General Wang, this old man has some martial arts skills, and I would like to serve under your command. Aren't there Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng on Anlu's side?" They, those people are all my old brothers. You only need a letter to tell them to stop making peace with you. Damn it, those beasts are so silent and dare to come to my son-in-law Bad luck. If not, I would like to send troops to fight and let them know how powerful Kong is."

"Haha, haha!" Wang Shen laughed loudly, looking at Kong Yanzhou with eyes like he was looking crazy.

The other generals of the Sizhou army also laughed.

Hearing this laughter, Kong Yanzhou panicked: "General Wang, General Wang..."

Wang Shendao: "You want to vote for me, hey, what kind of place am I here, and all the rascals are accepted? Kong Yanzhou, although you are a beast, but Wang wants to respect the kind of brave warrior. I thought you You can be regarded as a hero, today you really let me down."

While talking, he lowered his head, put his mouth close to Kong Yanzhou's ear and whispered: "Don't think I don't know about the scandalous things you did to Miss Kong San's daughter, I really didn't expect you to exist in this world." A beast? I must keep you today."

"No, no, no." Kong Yanzhou said anxiously: "Daosi, Daosi, listen to me, my daughter is not my own daughter, her mother gave me a cuckold, and I am also revenge! A man is a big man, if you want to be kind, do you have revenge? wrong?"

"Shameless beast, shameless to your level, it's eye-opening!" Wang Shen said in a low voice again: "To tell you the truth, you sent someone to bring a letter to Zhang Jun asking for security. Previously, Li Heng, the new envoy of Jianghan Ezhou Zhulu and Xiangyang appeasement system, who was traveling with Zhang Xianggong, had arrived, just on the river more than 20 miles away from Qichun City. Zhang Xianggong was going to go to Shaanxi, and Jingchu I don't want to get involved in the war. But..."

He draws out his voice.

Kong Yanzhou couldn't help asking: "But what?" Hearing that Zhang Jun had arrived, he had a longing expression on his face.

Wang Shen: "However, Mr. Li Heng seems to be very interested in you. He wants to recruit you and use your Kong family army as the main force in Jingchu and his central army. Because he has agreed to accept Your envoy. Just before, he had issued a warrant to someone in the name of appeasement envoy. The letter said that he decided to recommend you to the imperial court as envoy of arresting and killing along the river, and he will still allow you to be the seventh-rank military post. Letter Now, he ordered your army to put down their weapons on the spot and wait for him to reorganize. In addition, he ordered our Sizhou army to immediately stop all military operations against Qichun."

While talking, he deliberately sighed: "Hey, it's the order of the top general to crush someone to death at the top of the official rank. Kong Yanzhou, what do you think I should do?"

Hearing Wang Shen's words, Kong Yanzhou was very pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Since it is Li Xianggong's order, let's follow it. Dao Si, let me go quickly, our family will not beat the family."

"Oh, do you think it's possible?" Wang Shen laughed softly: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that Li Heng and Li Xianggong belong to Zhang Xianggong. And I, Wang Shen, was also Zhang Deyuan's disciple before. Go out of Zhangmen and vote under Duke Du. In the court, Duke Du and Prime Minister Zhang are sworn political enemies. Tell me, will I listen to Li Heng's orders? If I let him dictate, in the future if Prime Minister Du knows How should he look at me?"

"Daosi..." Kong Yanzhou felt something was wrong, and he was dripping with cold sweat.

Wang Shen said again: "Besides, you are a hungry wolf. If someone lets you go today, you rely on Li Heng's power, and you may take away Lao Tzu's army and territory. , So-and-so is really dead without a place to die, what would I do if you were me? Not to mention that you and I don’t have any kindness as a son-in-law. idea."

"What idea?" Kong Yanzhou asked.

Wang Shen stood up, took out a knife from the guard's waist, and threw it over with a whoosh.

The hand knife was stuck in front of Kong Yanzhou, and it sank deep into the ground.

Wang Shen shouted: "Kong Yanzhou, what a beast you are, but you are also a hero who has commanded thousands of troops. If you are a real man, don't talk nonsense, just end it yourself!"

Kong Yanzhou was completely desperate. With trembling hands, he drew out the knife and put it on his neck.

Wang Shen turned around and ordered: "After all, he is a big man, so he should be buried with honor."

Before he finished speaking, he heard people around him yelling in unison: "Military envoy be careful!"

Then there was a "dang".

He looked back abruptly, only to see that Feng Changqing had already drawn out the chopping iron knife to brace Kong Yanzhou's hand knife.

It turned out that Kong Yanzhou knew that he was going to die, but before he died, he suddenly launched an attack, and wanted to die with Wang Shen.

After being blocked by Feng Changqing with a knife, Kong Yanzhou had already broken a leg, his body was unstable, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Wang Shen was furious, turned around and shouted: "Cut off Bandit Kong's head and hang it on the Shuixi Gate for public display, and drag the body out to feed the dogs!"

A dense cluster of spears stabbed down and nailed Kong Yanzhou to the ground.

Kong Yanzhou screamed pitifully: "Little thief Wang, even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go!"

Wang Shen sneered: "Your own daughter will not be spared. Even if you are a ghost, you will fall into the boundless Asura Hell forever. Even if you want to come and find me, there is no possibility."

The spear kept stabbing down, and the puffing sound of the spear point piercing the flesh was endless, but Wang Shen didn't bother to look at it again.

This kind of non-human evil ghost, even if you look at it more than once, it will dirty your eyes.

……

The battle was completely over, and the stinking Qichun City was drenched by the torrential rain, and the air suddenly changed.

The heat has completely disappeared, and there is an indescribable comfort.

Riding a horse and walking down the street, the waves in my heart have calmed down, and my mood is indescribably joyful and relaxed.

Except... on the street are the ragged civilians who have been escorted out of the city and have become like skeletons.

On the backs of the common people were rolled up tattered reed mats, with white bones sticking out of them.Under Wang Shen's order, these captives wrapped the bones washed out by the flood in mats and took them out of the city to be buried deep.

A group of Confucian prisoners lined up with their heads bowed. They all hung a white cloth package under their necks, which contained the ashes of their dead comrades.

It's different from the dead people who dug a hole and buried them randomly. If there is no place to bury them, they just randomly throw them into empty houses.The dead soldiers of the Confucian army are usually sent to the incineration field and burned so that their bones can be returned to their hometowns in the future.

The soldiers of the Confucian Army were all formed with the same native place, which was the basic principle of the ancient army formation.The reason is simple. Most of the people in ancient times had never read a book, let alone traveled all over the world.Many people have never been out of the county in their entire lives, so naturally they don't understand Mandarin.When he speaks, others cannot understand his dialect.For the convenience of command, they can only be compiled according to the same native place.

Therefore, ancient armies were named after places.For example, in the Sizhou Army led by Wang Shen, most of the soldiers in the army were refugees from Huaihe River; for example, in Liu Guangshi's Huaixi Army, most of the soldiers were from Huaixi.There are also the Yiwu soldiers of Qi Jiguang in the later Ming Dynasty; and the Tianxiong Army of Lu Xiangsheng.Tianxiong is the title of the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty, which governs Weizhou, Bozhou and Daming in Hebei.

Most of the Confucian soldiers and survivors who died in battle or epidemic were fellow villagers and blood relatives, so it is natural to help them collect their bones and bury them in the soil for safety.

The long line of captives couldn't see the end at a glance, and the eyes were full of white ashes.

Sadness has long since passed, and the long siege has completely numb the soldiers of the Kong family who are still alive.They bowed their heads and walked forward silently, like walking dead.

The street echoed with the sound of scattered footsteps and stepping into stagnant water.

Wang Shen suddenly felt a little heavy. Under such a tragic war, the place was corrupted, and Qi and Huang prefectures were completely unable to raise troops.Although his main force did not suffer any losses, the supply problem of the troops suddenly became serious.So many people died because of Kong Yanzhou, an animal.There are many beasts like him in this world.For example, Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng, and Zhong Xiang, who was so uninhabited in the Dongting Lake area.Another example is the later Liu Yu puppet army, and the brutal Jurchen who occupied Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hebei.

The sword in the hand cannot stop.

All of them must be killed, and a peaceful and prosperous world will come out!

Wang Shen lightly tapped the saddle with his hands, and said in a low voice: "The clouds walk in the rain, and they surpass the Gao of Jiujiang. Looking at the similarities and differences, I am hesitant, and I don't know what to do. After passing by my Jieshi, I feel melancholy about my East China Sea."

"Yellow Emperor, Tang, and Wuxian also used cadres to help the world. "Sima Fa" said: People kill people for their own reasons, and they can be killed. Those who rely on martial arts will perish, and those who rely on literature will perish. This is also the case with Fucha and King Yan. The use of soldiers by sages, series And time moves, use it as a last resort.”

"Yeah, I need to cheer up, I can't. Why can't I be happy after winning a win."

"This was a just war to protect the environment and the people! Too many people died, and many of them were unnecessary sacrifices. This has violated the original intention."
