Chapter 356: The gentleman is careful not to bully the dark room
Early next morning.
Before dawn, the 500 cavalrymen of the Snow Region Legion left the camp under the leadership of Lin Zhao and Chu Yu. After Lin Zhaoliang issued the military order, they entered the city one by one. At this time, there were already many cavalrymen of the great merchants in the city.
They were plundering, and they seemed not even willing to wait until dawn. Not far away, a cavalry rode past, raised a long sword and slashed a middle-aged man to the ground. Farther away, a large merchant cavalry
The pawn held a young girl with her hands stretched out on the horse's back. Various gold and silver objects were hung on both sides of the horse's butt, and bloody heads hung under the horse's neck.
In many courtyards, people shouted at the top of their lungs.
"..."
Chu Yu frowned slightly and murmured: "Sir, are we going to the city just for..."
"Do not talk."
Lin Zhao glanced at the distance, where a Wanqi Commander was staring at his group, frowning and said: "Do as I say, get to Zouma Alley as quickly as possible, seal all the entrances to the alley, and there can't be any
Omission!"
"yes!"
…
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, 500 cavalrymen, led by Lin Zhao, arrived at Zouma Alley. This alley is not too long, but it is not short either. According to the household registration book of Dongwu State, there are more than 2,000 households in Zouma Alley, with a total of
With a population of more than 10,000, soon after, under Chu Yu's order, one hundred cavalrymen guarded the east exit of Zuoma Lane, and one hundred cavalrymen guarded the west exit. The rest of the cavalrymen also dispersed one by one, and guarded some of the remaining exits.
They blocked the entrances one after another and sent at least ten cavalrymen to each entrance and exit.
Lin Zhao slowly rode his horse and walked with Chu Yu in the Zouma Alley. The doors and windows of the houses on both sides were closed. Only some ignorant children looked out at some windows. All they saw was a group of armored men.
Some of the soldiers were so frightened that they even screamed and their mouths were immediately covered by their parents. It seemed that everyone knew what was about to happen. Three days ago, the big merchant general Yu Rang threatened to massacre the city after breaking it.
, now, this massacre is really before our eyes.
"Everyone!"
Lin Zhao walked forward slowly, while looking at the houses on both sides, and said in a deep voice: "Don't come out, don't look around, all doors are closed. If you are really short of food and water, come out and talk to the nearest snow-covered Tianchi cavalry."
Just talk, and they will naturally provide you with what you need in life, otherwise, don't show up!"
Almost every household in Zouma Alley heard this voice, and they were filled with doubts. Could it be that the legend of the city massacre was false? Otherwise, why didn't this great merchant's general enter the house and plunder it?
"grown ups."
Chu Yu stepped forward and said: "We found an uninhabited house. It is said that it is the residence of a minister of the Ministry of War of Dongwu Kingdom. He has died in the war and his family has long sent him out of the city. It can be used as a temporary memorial for the adults."
No matter how you live, our Snow Region Legion should have a handsome mansion here, otherwise everyone won’t know where to find you.”
"okay."
Lin Zhao nodded.
He just glanced at the location of the commander's mansion and did not go in at all. Chu Yu planted the Chen Zi Banner of the Chen Dynasty in the courtyard and used it as a temporary command post.
Lin Zhao rode his horse forward. In the distance, he could still clearly hear the screams of civilians and the sound of horse hooves on the street. Massacres were taking place all over the city. What the merchant cavalry wanted was very simple.
, First of all, it is the property. A large amount of property was obtained from these households in Dongwu State, and then sent back to the home of the Shang Dynasty to make the wife, children and children live a better life. Secondly, it is their own needs. The people in the army, Tai
They haven't touched women for a long time, so when the order to massacre the city is issued, they can plunder women in Dongwu Kingdom at will, and even take these women back to the Shang Dynasty, or take them as concubines, or sell them. In troubled times, women's
The situation can be described as extremely miserable.
When Lin Zhao walked to the street, he saw a familiar figure.
Xu Ning, a Qianqi Commander of the Great Shang Cavalry.
"White-coated rule."
Xu Ning came over with a group of cavalry. After saying hello, he looked at the scene of blood on the ground in the distance. He couldn't help shaking his head and asked in a low voice: "Have you killed anyone?"
"not yet."
Lin Zhao shook his head.
Xu Ning smiled slightly: "Everyone else is killed, but you are the only one who won't kill me. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on. You may not know that the civilians in these cities are very cunning. If you don't kill people and establish your authority, they won't be able to kill you."
To hand over the property, even if you kill a few chickens to scare the monkeys, some people just won't shed tears until they see the coffin."
Lin Zhao frowned: "Commander Xu Ning, are you going on a killing spree?"
"Haha~~~"
Xu Ning patted his sword and said with a smile: "My sword is very picky. It only drinks the blood of enemy soldiers and never the blood of civilians. It is true that I did not go on a killing spree, but I did order dozens of people to be killed.
I can't do it without killing, and I won't give out a penny. If I don't get enough money to pay my brothers, do you think these brothers behind me will continue to follow me? I'm afraid, they would have been killed by other battalions.
They were poached."
Lin Zhao lowered his head and remained silent.
"You really don't want to kill?"
Xu Ning tilted her head and looked at him and said with a smile: "What a pity. There is so much money in Zuma Alley. If you don't kill him, someone will definitely kill him for you."
"Yeah?"
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Whoever wants to kill my people must ask me first."
Xu Ning couldn't help but smile, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Let's go, I have to go back to my territory. I'll torture him to extract a confession and see if I can squeeze out some more money. It's better than just cutting him off with a knife."
"Um."
Lin Zhao nodded.
At this moment, a group of cavalry drove hundreds of women passing by. Among the crowd of cavalry, a Qianqi Commander chatted with Lin Zhao for a few words in the handsome tent. He immediately raised his hand and said with a smile: "Young knight in white, are you there?"
This way..."
"Um."
Lin Zhao looked at the people he was driving away. Most of them were young women, but everyone was in a mess. Some had bright red fingerprints on their faces, some had their arms cut by sword blades, and some had scratches all over their bodies.
They all had traces of injuries, their hands were tied up with ropes, and they were driven away line by line. There is no doubt that these are the spoils of this Thousand Cavalry Battalion.
Lin Zhao frowned and looked at each woman. He really wanted to save them, but he couldn't. If he saved them at this time, he would definitely arouse public outrage and attract tens of thousands of merchant cavalry to besiege him. Not only would he not be able to save anyone,
Even the walking horse lane behind him will suffer along with it. He is no longer a young boy, and he must carefully consider every decision he makes.
"Tsk tsk..."
Qianqi Commander looked at Lin Zhao's eyes and couldn't help laughing, and said heartily: "Oh... you really don't have a young and beautiful girl in Zoumaxiang. Do you want... I will give you a few,
Let you live a happy and carefree life for a few days?"
"OK……"
Lin Zhao smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, Chu Yu behind her was slightly startled, but she soon figured it out, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips. She knew that Lin Zhao must not be that kind of person.
"I really want it..."
The Qianqi Commander couldn't help laughing: "Come on, brothers, pick 7 young and beautiful ones for the young heroes in white to keep. Remember, they must be young, beautiful and slim. The young heroes in white are not like us."
Ordinary people, please be more demanding."
Lin Zhao smiled and clasped his fists: "Thank you...but there are only seven? Wang Tongzhi, do you want to make more concessions..."
"Hahahaha~~~"
Qianqi Chang laughed loudly: "Young man, you are so greedy, but for the sake of Miss Chu Yu's punching so hard, here, I will give you seven more. Is it enough to sleep on two every day? It's enough for you.
There will be new ones every day for seven days~~”
Lin Zhao cupped his fists again and thanked him. He could only save fourteen of them. No matter how many more he saved, I'm afraid the thousand cavalry commanders would really be reluctant to part with them.
"Come on, come on!"
Qianqi Chang narrowed his eyes, looked at Lin Zhao's appearance, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the young knight in white is still a young boy, right? Come on, I'll do my best and send these women to the young knight's mansion.
They were all peeled off by me, we can’t let the young hero in white do it himself!”
"you……"
Lin Zhao frowned.
"Don't be embarrassed!"
Qian Qichang raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. He seemed to have noticed Lin Zhao's intention. Is it because a woman can't bear to kill people and wants to heroically save the beauty under her own eyes? It doesn't matter. I'll strip these women naked and send them to your bed. You
You young man in white clothes, full of blood, how can you endure it? I respect you in white clothes for daring to go into battle to kill the enemy, but you can't bully me into being a fool, right?
Soon after, a group of merchant cavalry sent fourteen women to the commander's residence, and all of them took off their clothes before leaving.
…
Lin Zhao returned to the commander's house and watched everyone leave before entering the back hall. A group of women were half-clothed and looking at Lin Zhao with miserable faces. Several of them were indeed pretty and had excellent figures. They looked like they might be
The daughter of a wealthy family in Yecheng, however, at this time, under the iron hoofs of the merchant cavalry, she was as humble as clay.
Chu Yu stood far outside the courtyard. She would not investigate or ask anything that happened in the courtyard. If Lin Zhao really wanted to do something, she would not stop her. There was no need to stop her.
It's just common sense.
"Give them clothes."
Lin Zhao frowned and turned away.
"yes!"
Chu Yu smiled and nodded.
Lin Zhao was sitting alone on the roof of the commander's mansion. He simply lay down and put his hands behind his head. Just as the Qianqi Commander thought, he, Lin Zhao, was also a strong-blooded man. Just now, a group of very beautiful women were half-clothed.
His appearance indeed moved his heart. Can that young man bear such a scene?
He closed his eyes and calmed down his mind.
Self-restraint, these two words are hung in the main hall of Mr. Qin's bookstore. The biggest enemy in a person's life can only be himself. Control his own innate desires. This is what scholars should do throughout their lives, even if there are no other people.
Now, he must not touch that group of women around him, not even a finger. After all, he can deceive everyone in the world, but he cannot deceive himself.
…
On the distant mountain, the old man who was warming himself by the fire gnawed a piece of crispy pancake, and then looked at the young man lying on the roof in the distance. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and said with a smile: "What a good student taught by Suihan, he is really good..."
A gentleman should be careful in his independence and not bully the darkroom. His disciple Qin Suihan should have this ability and not make mistakes. It's great...it's great..."
He couldn't help it anymore, so he unscrewed the stopper of the wine gourd and took a small sip. This situation made him want to celebrate!
