Chapter 92
: Clear the whole city
"Glory belongs to us!"
"Long live the emperor!"
"victory!"
At this time, the city of Liaodong City was filled with cheers from the Sui army. In the slanting wind and drizzle, among the torches of stars, there were joyful and excited Sui soldiers everywhere, as well as those powerful civilians who had just fought a battle with the wind.
Chen Kefu felt relieved. He stood in front of the gate of the Rongliu Palace in the inner city of Liaodong City. At this time, the entire Liaodong City had finally been taken down by him. He hid his inner ecstasy, took off the dazzling white helmet on his head, turned around, and surrounded by soldiers with joy on his face. They hugged and cheered each other, shouting loudly, Long live the Emperor!
He stretched out a hand and pointed to the army that was constantly gathering in the distance, "Clear the whole city!"
With the fingers of his arm, the soldiers and horses that had just gathered scattered away again. Some rode the stolen war horses and ran in groups of three or five. Some of them formed a group of dozens of people and teamed up with bright horizontal swords and began to clean up the whole city like a comb.
As soon as they entered the inner city, Chen Kefu received news that the Liaodong City guardian Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu of Goguryeo, hurriedly fled to the east city with more than a hundred people. At this time, the Liao people were in a position, and the Liaodong City was in control, and he also began to prepare to clear the No. 1 fortress in the Far East.
With his more than a hundred cavalry guards, Chen Kefu and his group rode the Liao war horses they had just snatched and headed to the East City. They rode their horses across the city. When Chen Kefu saw them, there were traces of the melee. The corpses lying on the ground everywhere, and the black bloodstains all showed the battle that the city had just experienced.
Listening to the introduction of the guards beside him, Chen Kefu knew that they suddenly attacked Liaodong City at lightning speed tonight. Although the number of defenders was very small and they were quickly defeated, most of the people in Liaodong City stood on the side of the defenders. Many people in Liaodong City rushed out of their homes with kitchen knives, hunting forks and other objects and started fighting with the Sui army entering the city.
Just a few minutes ago, there were about a hundred residents of Goguryeo Liaodong City in front of me fighting with the Sui army and civilians who entered the city. Although the Liao people were brave, the Sui people who had already been stimulated were not afraid of these Liao people. The new army who rushed into the city and rushed everywhere, massacred all the more than a hundred Liao people who dared to resist in just a few seconds.
Looking at the piles of Liao people's corpses on the ground in front of him, Chen Kefu also understood that the Goguryeo people had been here for more than two hundred years, and in the eyes of these people in Liaodong City, they were plunderers. It would be not so easy for them to accept that the Liaodong City had changed their masters, and it would be difficult for them to be the people of the Great Sui Dynasty.
Chen Kefu originally thought that the residents of Liaodong City would be his future foundation, but now it is obvious that the situation is not the case. Maybe, these 100,000 Liaodong people would be a big disaster for him. Because now, all the people who have seen the people of Liaodong City resisting with various weapons along the way, but they have not seen a Liao people who expressed obedience to the Sui army.
Mao Yi, who was standing beside him, looked at Chen Kefu's expression and hurriedly said, "General, these Liao people should handle it carefully. As far as we know, during the last siege in Liaodong City, there were not many defenders, and in the end they were able to protect the city because the people who could use weapons in the city had to guard the city. It turned out that there were 200,000 people in Liaodong City, but now it is known that there are only about 100,000 people in the city, and most of them are disabled, old and weak. Now we are alone, and this Liaodong City will definitely be our base camp in the future. The 100,000 people in this city who are hostile to me have to consider one or two."
Chen Guang nodded, and he took a vanguard mission to siege tonight. Although he rushed to the inner city at first, there was no way to attack the city because there was no siege equipment. But he finally waited for something like a ladder. He was brave enough to take the lead. He was the first to rush to the inner city and open the city gate. At this time, he was covered in blood and rode his horse behind Chen Kefu. He said in a low voice, "General, although we have hundreds of thousands of people now, the army of war is only tens of thousands. Although we captured the new city and cities last time, the people in the city were all sent to the Central Plains to be slaves. Now the people of Liaodong are the first Liao people we have to face after occupying the city. The general, although Huairen is good, it is better for these aliens to be afraid of their power first."
Hu Hai smiled with a scarred face, and the blood on his face was even more ferocious, "General, we will definitely not be the first city we want to occupy. If these Liao people cannot let the power of our heavenly dynasty feel the power of our heavenly dynasty, I am afraid they will be even more uncontrollable in the future. When it is time to strike a thunder, you must not hesitate. After all those who dare to resist are punished, we can give them kindness. Only by combining kindness and power can we discipline these barbarians well."
It rained a few days ago, and the city was full of warmth, and there were small puddles on the road from time to time. However, although the puddles at this time were no longer pure rain, most of them were a mixture of blood mixed with blood.
Even the air was mixed with bloody pungentness, as well as the chaos, fear, and blood-sucking of war. After a big battle, the fortress that had just been occupied was filled with groups of soldiers and Minzhuang cleaning up the remaining enemies in the city. The screams of three or three were endless.
Although hundreds of thousands of civilians and strong men of the Sui Dynasty were all organized according to military organization, they had no organization at this time. These people flocked in and flocked into the city, they were already scattered. The gangs could not find the team, the brigades, and even the new troops of the Fifth and Sixth Divisions were not much better. Sometimes the people around a battalion commander were not as many as the gang commander, and they were already in chaos.
Fortunately, although the Sui army entered the city was in chaos, most of them strictly abide by Chen Kefu's orders before entering the city and strictly prohibited looting. At this time, they were just wandering around the city like headless flies, and when they saw those who dared to resist, they rushed forward.
Feeling all this, Chen Kefu stopped his horse, stood still, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said coldly, "You are right. The so-called non-my race will have different hearts. Now we are in Liaodong. Although we have won the Liaodong city, we are actually still weak. If we want to firmly grasp the Liaodong, the number one fortress in Liaodong, then how to treat the people in the city is very important."
With a sigh, Chen Kefu said, "The people in the Liaodong city are stubborn and repeatedly resist the power of our Celestial Dynasty. They even help the Goguryeo people with their lives. Now our Celestial Army has to ask for an explanation for the soldiers who fell from the Sui Dynasty based on this city. We will pass on our order that all the people of the Goguryeo, except for children who are taller than the sword and women under the age of 30, will be killed without mercy. The rest of the people of all the tribes in the city, who have been stained with the blood of our Sui Dynasty, will be killed without mercy, and their families will be confiscated as slaves, and their family property will be replaced by troops. In addition, all the nobles and local tyrants in the city, men will be killed, women and children will be replaced by troops. Since they dare to resist the power of heaven, they should accept the thunderous anger of the Celestial Dynasty after they know how to resist."
For Chen Kefu, not killing the entire city was already a ruthless result. Now that they have occupied Liaodong City, he will still gain a foothold here in the future. If he cannot establish a deterrent establishment of the military camp, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold here in the future.
The merciless blow to the nobles, wealthy families in the city is naturally because these people were originally the upper class of Goguryeo and the traditional rulers of Liaodong City. Now that he is here, he must establish his rule. These original ruling classes must have a close relationship with the Goguryeo people. Now he has not yet gained an absolute advantage, and is even at an absolute weakness. At this time, he can only better occupy and rule here by showing strength to the outside world.
The strong show their kindness to the outside world because they have the strength to guarantee it, while the weak can only use iron fist to intimidate those who are dissatisfied.
Hu Hai grinned, "General, why bother with me? I think I'll kill them all. Anyway, these barbarians will not become my people in the Sui Dynasty. My Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, and there were more than one million casualties in the army and people. Now I have taken over Liaodong City and slaughtered them all to shock the Liao people."
"No, killing is not the purpose, killing is just a means. What we want is to gain a long-term foothold in Liaodong, rather than killing all the Liao people. In the future, this will be the territory of our military camp, so killing alone cannot solve the problem. We can't guard an empty city and a scorched earth? Although there are three million people in Goguryeo, there are only one million people, less than one third. There are many people living in this land of all races. In the past, in Goguryeo, the people of the Goguryeo were first-class people, and the nobles and rich people were all of them. Although the other races have a large number of people, most of them are slaves they plundered through war, and most of them are slaves who were slowly transformed into free people many years ago, so we should treat them differently."
When Mao Yi and others heard Chen Kefu say that the Liaodong City will be the territory of the Pojun Camp in the future, they all guessed something. For example, Hu Hai, Shen Guang and others naturally thought that Chen Kefu now occupied Liaodong and would definitely be more willing to be a local emperor here for a while, rather than following him to be a guard general.
But only Mao Yi understood Chen Kefu's plans even more vaguely. Chen Kefu had revealed a little bit of thought when talking to him several times before. Now, when he thought about it, he also guessed that Chen Kefu probably saw the situation of the Sui Dynasty in front of him and had some of his own ideas. Let's look at what they are doing now, and what is really planning to retreat for the next half month for His Majesty the Emperor? Looking at Chen Kefu's thoughts, it was clearly intended to occupy the land of Liaodong. Thinking of this, Mao Yi turned his head to look at Chen Kefu. At this time, Chen Kefu was riding on the horse, staring at the front, and his eyes were filled with bright brilliance.
