Chapter 244: Infinite Merit (1)
Chapter 244: Infinite Merit (Part 1)
In Yushanguan City, fires soared into the sky, dyeing half of the sky clouds red.
The city was broken, and at this time the city was like the Shura Field.
The rolling iron stream poured in from the thunder, and the sword light and arrow rain covered most of the resistance, and screams were everywhere. Not only were the defenders in the city killed by the Hu people, but the people. It can even be said that all living people are the targets of killing.
The Khan's personal soldiers protected Ascehda.
Aceauda, riding a dark horse, also smiled. This attack on Yushan can be said to be the first battle in the true sense, which is a great victory, which makes him full of confidence in future battles.
At this time, under the protection of his personal soldiers, he entered the Han people's pass.
The houses and streets in the city made Asceao nod continuously after seeing them.
Although he had many contempts on the combat effectiveness of the Han people, Ascetta had to admit that the Han people did have a lot of experience in enjoyment.
Just like these spacious streets, numerous shops, and tall houses, they are much better than on the grassland, not to mention the culture and various technologies of the Han people.
However, even if there were Han people siege the city and finally thunder attack, due to the resolute resistance of the defenders, it is estimated that there were thousands of Hu people who died in battle.
This is a big problem. Ascedes knew very well that the Hu people had only a little capital. One person would lose one if they died, and one person would die thousands of people. In the future, if they were killed, they would die before half of the Han people were captured.
Of course, Asceuda didn't know that the most important thing in the history of the Five Barbarians invading China was that the Han people still had the legacy of the Han Dynasty, and the martial arts were also the Wubao, which led to the Hu people, who were ethnic minorities, constantly consuming their population and strength and had to compromise.
In later generations, with the "de-blood-realization" of the Central Plains nations and their own elimination of the middle class, the cost of the Hu people attacking the Central Plains became lower and lower.
But at this time, Asceao did not prevent him from making wise decisions in his position.
"Send the order and select the craftsmen in the city, kill other Han people! No one left!" Thinking of this, Ascedes said coldly.
In his opinion, apart from craftsmen, the Han people in the city were useless. If the massacre of the city was used, it would give the Han people a huge shock and prevent the Han people from rebelling in the rear.
The Han people will not surrender in the next city, and after attacking, they will still order the city to massacre.
He wants to see how hard the bones of this Han man are!
Besides, Yushan is a hard bone, but Yuyang County is not. There are hidden lines everywhere, especially monks and Taoist priests who lead the way are always ready to open the door.
"Yes, Khan!" After Asceauda issued the order, someone immediately conveyed the order.
In addition to the selected craftsmen, the people, regardless of gender, age, were massacred.
For a moment, the sound of killing in the city shook the sky, and Hu people lit a fire, and dozens of thick smoke suddenly rose, and flames were connected in series, and fireworks rolled up at several miles high.
Yuyang County
"Sir! The Hu army broke through the Yushan Mountain, and the guard general Huo Xida died in battle."
"The Hu army issued an order to massacre the city, and 20,000 soldiers and civilians were killed, and the bodies filled the whole city and were burned by a fire."
"Sir, Hu Han sent an order that he would not descend before dark tomorrow. On the day when the city was broken, he would slaughter the city." One after another, Li Bao fainted.
Just like this, Yushan was captured?
The prefect Li Bao could not imagine that such a level could not be supported for a day and a night.
"Where is Duan Hong? Where is Duan Hong?" Li Bao asked suddenly.
"Sir, I haven't seen Lord Duan just now. Now the news of the loss ahead has been heard. There is a chaos in the city. Sir, don't think too much, hurry up and stabilize the people's hearts!"
"Duan Hong! It was this person who mistook me! If it weren't for him, why didn't the reinforcements come?" The prefect Li Bao's resentment was all over Duan Hong.
This is obviously a revelation, but many superiors are like this. Once they encounter good things, they will seek credit, and once they encounter disasters, they will be pushed to their subordinates.
The prefect Li Bao is no exception.
At this time, Duan Hong hurriedly returned to Duan Mansion.
At this time, the sky is dark and misty like fog, and a cool breeze blows on your face. In normal times, it may be cool, but at this time, it makes people feel cold.
"Madam, the big thing is not good. The fishing mountain has been broken and the enemy is irresistible. It seems that we have to take the risk out." Duan Hong took his wife's hand and walked out.
But after walking out of the hall, he was stopped by a group of people.
"Mr. Duan, where are you going?" A young man in front of him stepped forward and said with a smile.
This young man is wearing a thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a green robe, but he is a guest official.
"Zhang Youzhi?" Duan Hong said with some displeasure: "Can you enter this inner courtyard?"
The person who appeared in front of Duan Hong was a young man introduced by Taoist Master Tongxuan some time ago. Because this person is quite talented and knowledgeable, Duan Hong was very satisfied with his behavior. Therefore, he was treated as a guest official and could recommend it to the prefect if he had the opportunity.
But Zhang Youzhi, who is now in front of him, is like a talented man who was introverted and humble in the past, is like a different person.
"Haha!" Looking at Duan Hong frowned, Zhang Youzhi couldn't help laughing. After a while, he said, "Mr. Duan, if you say this, you will be unaware of the current affairs."
"I'll come today, but I'll save you. As long as you cooperate with Kaicheng and go to see Dahan with me, you can not only survive, but also gain wealth. If you refuse, I'm afraid this place will be your burial place!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Hong burst into a cold sweat, his face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "You have surrendered to Hu Gou. Are you not afraid of not being able to face your ancestors after death!"
When Zhang Youzhi heard this, he was not angry and said in a leisurely manner: "You are wrong. I have great merits!"
Seeing Duan Hong being stunned, the man glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone in the city knows the breaking of Yushan Pass. Of course, this is also thanks to Lord Duan for his appreciation. If it were not for the Duan Mansion's power, the whole city would not have known it in a short time."
"But that's not what I said. The Yushan Pass was broken, and 20,000 soldiers and civilians were killed. The 20,000 soldiers and civilians were killed, and the 20,000 people who attacked the city were 40,000. The Hu people were tyrannical and had no way to keep their lives. When our real person saw this, he was very compassionate!"
"First, we persuade Hu Khan to kill less, which will save countless people and have immeasurable merits. Secondly, if Yuyang County continues to resist, the Hu people will drive the people outside the city to attack the city. After the city is broken, they will be massacred. This is the lives of more than 100,000 people!"
"We can lead the way to open the city, and we can save more than 100,000 people without fighting. This is not merit, what is it?"
"The Brahma God has great compassion and great vows to save the world with the hell. Why don't our real people do this? Betray the scolding of the world and save thousands of people. This is really a way to get great benevolence and get great righteousness through small benevolence."
Speaking of this, Zhang Youzhi looked at everyone meaningfully, couldn't help but smile, and said, "The big swallow lost its deer, and the whole world chased it. At this time, it was about to help it with force. The Hu people entered the pass, which was a powerful medicine for the world. Although it was bitter for a moment, it was beneficial to the people of the world!"
"You beast, you dare to talk nonsense like this!" Unexpectedly, there was a man in his family who was doing it carefully, and Duan Hong couldn't help but curse.
"If you can't tell the truth, just curse me? You're a villain in the world, and you don't know yet, right? If it weren't for your wife's cooperation, I wouldn't have done it so easily. Speaking of which, you have made great contributions!"
"What he said is the truth?" Duan Hong's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he turned to look at the wife behind him.
Under Duan Hong's vicious gaze, a hint of panic appeared on Mrs. Duan's soft face. Then she shook Duan Hong's hand hard, retreated backwards, and said, "I'm not intentional, I'm just... just..."
Zhang Youzhi said proudly from the opposite side: "But she is my person for a long time, so she will naturally be on my side!"
Duan Hong was almost disbelief and turned his head to see Mrs. Duan again, but saw that she was silent and did not refute the other party's words.
Duan Hong couldn't help but be furious: "You bitch!"
He pulled out the long sword and was about to slash it, but it was rushed up and tied up.
Even though he was tied up, Duan Hong couldn't stop cursing.
Although he is slick in his daily life, he still has the integrity of a literati at this time.
"You guys! You must die a good death!"
"If I refuse to surrender to the Khan, I must do this little kindness and small matter and cause all the people to suffer? Then I can only offend more for the sake of great benevolence and righteousness, for the people of the world."
"Come on, cut off his head and give it to the Khan for reward!" Zhang Youzhi suddenly sneered and ordered.
Duan Hong was not killed immediately, because he had to be a guest minister in Duan's mansion for a period of time in order to lurk in Yuyang City. This shame made Zhang Youzhi vent his life.
Secondly, the other party was an influential official in Yuyang, and it was a great achievement to let Duan Hong surrender to the Khan.
However, although Duan Hong was a civil servant, he was very tough and could only chop his head to receive the reward.
As the sword light flashed, Duan Hong's head fell to the ground, blood splattered, and before his death, he still opened his eyes angrily.
As Duan Hong's head fell to the ground, there were crying sounds in the side yard and thick smoke rolling.
Zhang Youzhi's expression was calm, but his eyes flashed and he extinguished in an instant, and he chanted loudly: "Mr. Wuliang Daozun, Lord Duan, if you die, you will benefit all the people, and you will definitely have the blessing of the underworld!"
Almost at the same time, a Hu cavalry appeared outside Bingzhou at this time, less than thirty miles away.
"The fourth prince, Bingzhou is ahead. There are three levels on the Bingzhou border. If you want to enter Bingzhou, you must first defeat these three levels." The Taoist who was familiar with this situation said to Huerbo.
Hurboel held the reins and waved his hand to the back, and the team slowly stopped.
Standing here, you can see the first level from afar, a small town.
Hurbo asked: "How is the defense of the level? Do you know?"
"Fourth Prince, according to the information we have received, there are only three thousand soldiers here, but the city is still quite stable."
Huerbo asked again: "Are all the people lurking in there ready?"
"Fourth Prince, our people are all ready. As long as we start siege, our people will find an opportunity to open the city gate."
"Very good." Hurbo looked ahead, raised his hand high, and ordered: "Kill here!"
