"How is it possible? The weather is already so cold..." Out of instinct, Wang Xun immediately retorted. However, he was only halfway through his words, and his voice became lower and lower, until it was almost inaudible.
The smell was indeed corpse odor. He was no stranger to it. It was just that he had been resisting and rejecting it in his heart. He had been unwilling to think about it and had been avoiding it subconsciously. In the past few days, he was like a treasure that had been broken at home.
The naughty boy wanted to put a note on the debris and write "I didn't do it." In fact, it proved that he was inescapably involved in the matter.
Massacres did occur.
On that day, when the princes swarmed up and beat up the drowned dog. Realizing that the situation was over, they all retreated to the battlefield. Baishaer and others decisively abandoned their troops and fled. The entire battle situation instantly lost control.
The heroes vying for the first place were obviously more interested in Zhezhe City than Juche Bishi. Following the footsteps of the defeated troops, they rushed into the city gate. Then, fire started to surge everywhere in the city. Robbery,
Rape and murder were done with ease by everyone, without any sense of shame, and they would not show any mercy to the people in the city.
This is not the result Wang Xun hopes for. He firmly believes that his army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, a teacher of kings. Therefore, he also hopes that all princes can follow the example of his Anxi Army. Even if he cannot do anything to the common people in the city,
, at least you should look better when eating, and your movements should be more graceful. Don't be like a bunch of uncivilized beasts, stripping off your clothes and that of a certain woman on the street.
However, his shouts were drowned in the cheers. No one was willing to listen to him, including Yu Wenzhi and Fang Ziling, who usually obeyed his orders, but they turned a deaf ear to his shouts. Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan were two more
Or even tell him directly, "Don't bother, it's tradition. If we dare to stop them from killing people and setting fires now, they will dare to turn their swords on us immediately. It's not worth it for a group of irrelevant people and offending allies."
!”
"But, but, our Tang Dynasty..." Wang Xun wanted to use his honor as a military general to convince the other party, but his words were so feeble. He only had about two thousand brothers under his command, and nearly half of them were horse thieves.
It was already very difficult to immediately abandon him as the commander and join the robbery team. It was impossible to uphold justice for the people in the city. Moreover, even if the brothers were willing to obey the orders, how could they defeat so many friendly forces who were eager to rob them.
In the event of a large-scale conflagration, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
"Sir, don't be afraid that Yan Guan will talk about this!" Seeing that Wang Xun's face was red, Sha Qianli would be wrong, and he comforted himself with a smile, "We also follow the authority in a hurry. Even if someone wants to pick bones from the eggs,
We cannot be forced to use these few brothers to suppress more than 20,000 friendly troops. Besides, this is also a bonus that the victor deserves. If we can’t get this little benefit, what is the point of everyone working hard to survive?"
"That's right! Sir, you don't need to be soft-hearted!" Huang Wanshan, who has always vented his anger on the same side as Sha Qianli, also chimed in with a smile, "Just think about it, if someone else had broken the city of Datang, wouldn't the result be the same?
?”
The result was indeed the same. According to the previous accounts that Wang Xun had read, those alien races that had the opportunity to invade the Central Plains were all beasts. But in order to avenge the beasts, would he turn into a beast? He couldn't think of this question.
I understand, but I don’t have the energy to think about it. I just feel that the smoke-stained sky is slowly turning red, red, so red that people dare not open their eyes to see it.
At this moment, Cao Zhongjie, the leader of Xicao Kingdom, rushed to his horse and asked him to seek justice.
Not for the conquered, but for all the friendly forces. "Angel, please hurry up and say something. If you don't speak, everyone will start fighting!"
Wang Xun mustered up the courage to look into the city again. He saw several groups of soldiers belonging to different princes at the city gate, fighting over a woman. A little further away, there were two friendly armies from different cities.
, fighting hand to hand for the right to loot a mansion.
Immediately, Wang Xun felt that the blood in his chest was rushing to the top of his head. With a wave of his hand, he rushed to the city gate first, "The Modao team obeys the order. Rush in and chop them up!"
"No!" The Mo Dao team headed by Wei Feng was pulled up by Wang Xun. It was also the only team that could obey orders to the letter at this moment. They all agreed and pushed forward after him.
Sha Qianli failed to stop him after several attempts, so he had no choice but to take his brothers and follow behind the Mo Dao team. Then came Huang Wanshan, Yu Wenzhi, and the former horse thieves who had been itching to wait for a long time.
What Wang Xun didn't expect was that the defection that Sha Qianli and others were worried about did not happen. When he led the Mo Dao team into the city, those guys who were looking for red eyes immediately regained their consciousness.
No one wants to compete head-on with the ever-victorious Modao team.
No one dared to face the wrath of the Hammer King.
Soon, the flags of various princes that had disappeared began to gather towards Wang Xun. The shouts and cries in the city were also silenced for an instant.
"We are incompetent in controlling our subordinates, please forgive me, angel!"
"Yeah, those bastards have never seen the world. I'll kill them when I turn around!"
Axilanda took the lead, and Helusosuo followed closely, scrambling to plead guilty to Wang Xun. Then, several princes began to express their merits, "Lord Angel, I have strictly ordered my brothers not to approach the Dawan Palace.
Those nearby streets.”
"I just walked around the outside. The most prosperous area in the center of the city is reserved for you, the angel!"
"Yes, yes. Xiao Wang specially sent his most skilled brothers to block several gates leading to the inner city. My subordinates ordered that before getting your order, no matter who dares to enter without authorization,
Kill them all without mercy!"
"You..." Wang Xun could no longer remember what he said at that time, only the final result. Under the hints of Sha Qianli, Yu Wenzhi and others, he chose to compromise.
No looting is allowed within two miles of the palace, where the inner city is located. The looters who have sneaked into the inner city must withdraw immediately, otherwise they will be killed on the spot by the Tang army. The rest of the city will be divided equally among the princes
.Each family is responsible for disposing of the lot they have been assigned. They are not allowed to cross the boundary, are not allowed to exchange knives with each other, are not allowed to set fire randomly, and are not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately. If there is any violation, the Tang army will immediately attack and destroy them.
This order satisfied everyone. At least, it avoided the danger of large-scale conflicts among the heroes. As for the actual execution of the order by the heroes, no one was aware of how many overt and covert violations of the order not to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
We can dig deeper. Anyway, it was not until the afternoon of the next day that the crying in the city gradually became quieter. After this disaster in Zhezhe City, most of the areas had turned into ghosts.
The last area controlled by the Tang army was the Dawan Palace and the inner city where the nobles usually lived. It was the only place that still looked like the human world. In order to appease his soldiers and prevent them from becoming jealous of other people's gains, Wang Xun, Sha Qianli and others
A workaround was discussed. A specific amount of labor was given and the nobles were ordered to pay it all before dark. The Tang army protected them and their families from the rebels. If anyone was unwilling to part with their wealth, they would be removed from the inner city.
They were driven out and left to fend for themselves.
After the order was issued, a positive response was quickly received. Those nobles who had no time to escape, while praising the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty King, took out their savings for many years with both hands. And some people living near the inner city
When the common people saw that there was no smoke rising from the inner city, they dropped all their belongings and rushed towards this place with all their strength. In order to please their superiors, Wan Qiyu Xie, Wang Shisan and others who were responsible for holding the city gate made this choice.
Turning a blind eye. As a result, because of this kind thought, countless people avoided the fate of having their heads dismembered. So many years later, when the disaster of that day was mentioned, the people would never forget to add,
"The big general guarding the east gate of the inner city and the short man guarding the north gate are both good people! If it weren't for him, I would have been chopped into pieces!"
But the people hated Wang Xun, the man who defeated Juchebishi and indulged the coalition forces in looting. They prayed to the sky every day, hoping that he would soon be joined by the Buddha, the God of Light, the God of Fire, and all possible gods.
Punishment. However, there are also a few quick-thinking people who know that Juchebishi and Baishaer are dead. After calming down for a while, they take the initiative to offer a generous gift in order to please the new master of Dayuan Kingdom. In the palace
Find a place to stand in.
The father of the two female assassins, Melzud, the former tax collector of the Dawan Kingdom, is also one of the quick-thinking people. Wang Xun is preparing to use the hands of these active collaborators to control the entire Dawan Kingdom as soon as possible, so he half-pushed and half-stopped.
I gave the other party a thank you gift.
When he was young and strong, he hadn't touched a woman for several months, so he immediately became agitated at night. But he didn't expect that the two sisters were so willing to welcome her last night, for fear that they would not be well-served and would not be able to enjoy themselves to the fullest. Today he is going to have a shower
After taking a bath, she immediately turned against her and actually murdered her husband.
Looking at the resentful faces of the two sisters, Wang Xun felt a mixture of emotions in his heart. Anger, disappointment, and even a trace of undeniable admiration and guilt were tormenting his heart and his eyes.
Massacring a city is definitely not a just act, even if the party being massacred is a foreigner. Although Wang Xun has not read many books, he always despises the benevolence of women among corrupt scholars. However, deep down in his heart, he cannot really get rid of this moral restraint.
His kindness to fellow humans, his tolerance for different civilizations, his integrity, kindness, and generosity have long since become a part of his life. They are deeply embedded in his bones. They are hard to find at ordinary times, but they always influence his thinking.
and action.
It's not a woman's kindness.
This is the difference between barbarism and civilization.
This is also the difference between Huaxia and Yidi.
Wang Xun simply had no strength to deny, reject, or obliterate.
After pondering for a long time, he finally murmured another sentence, "It was Juche Bishi who took the initiative to attack me. He brought the disaster on himself. No one else is to blame, I..."
"Juchebishi is guilty. But have the people in the city offended you?" As if she had discovered the weakness in Wang Xun's heart, the older female assassin stared at him without blinking.
