Du Ming had already asked people to clean it, but half a day was not enough to clean up the governor's mansion.
When Xu Yin walked in, he could still see the blood stains and damaged furniture that had not been washed away.
She sighed in her heart that it had only been a few days since Xingtong was breached, and the originally majestic Governor's Mansion had become a bit dilapidated.
Du Ming reported: "At the end of the day, there were still many corpses in the governor's mansion. Now that the weather is getting hotter, rotting corpses are prone to diseases, so the general ordered people to collect the corpses according to their clothes."
Xu Yin nodded and called Miss Qi to identify the body.
Miss Qi thanked her and went to arrange the funeral arrangements for her family with tears in her eyes.
Governor Qi died when Xingtong City was destroyed. Miss Yu counted the remaining corpses and found that most of them were there. The few who were not there were all disguised and fled like her. If they are still alive, you know
Xingtong has been recaptured, and he will definitely come to surrender. If there is no movement in the past few days, then he will really be dead.
Then deal with the rebels.
Du Ming reported: "In this battle, we have wiped out more than 2,000 enemies, captured more than 1,000, and about a thousand more escaped enemies. The general has been ordered by the third lady, and has sent out all the battalions to attack, trying to clear them all. Now there are
Half of it is in return, the other half is on the way.”
Xu Yin nodded: "Where is the thief leader?"
Du Ming waved his hand and escorted the person up.
"This is the leader of the rebels. He was originally stationed in Pingcang."
Xu Yin looked at the bruised and brutally treated General Liu and understood: "Oh, Yan Er chased him away."
Du Ming showed a smile: "Exactly."
General Liu's hands and feet were tied and his mouth was blocked. He was struggling desperately and kept shouting "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".
"Miss, he seems to have something to say." Xiao Sang said.
Xu Yin asked: "Did he say anything when you caught him?"
Du Ming replied: "Begging for mercy, he said that all the treasures he collected would be given to the general so that he could let him live. He also said that he was willing to surrender and become a soldier under the general's command."
Wei Jun sneered: "He really thinks highly of himself. We in Nanyuan don't accept this kind of garbage. Not only is it useless, it's also poisonous!"
"That's right." Xu Yin waved his hand nonchalantly, "Kill him!"
General Liu struggled even more fiercely, with fear in his eyes.
He didn't want to die! He finally escaped from Yan Ershu, but why was he caught by Miss Xu San? He couldn't escape this family no matter how hard he came, did he owe them anything in his previous life?
"Third Miss, don't you want a trial?" Du Ming asked.
Xu Yin said calmly: "There is nothing to judge. He was a defeated general who gathered the remaining soldiers to massacre the city. There is no humanity at all. He pulled him down and killed him, and hung his head on the city gate. Anyone who participated in the massacre will be punished.
They will all be killed, and a temple will be built outside the city gate to be displayed to the public for three days."
This time it was a formal order, and Du Ming responded solemnly: "Yes."
General Liu was dragged down, and soon screams came from outside, and everything fell silent.
Miss Qi, who had just finished identifying the body, followed her and saw her enemy's blood splattered on the spot. She burst into tears and knelt down and cried: "Father, mother, grandmother, uncles... The great revenge has been avenged, and your souls in heaven can rest in peace."
The so-called building of Jingguan means piling up corpses to show off military exploits.
But Xu Yin's intention was not this. Xingtong experienced a massacre, and many people were destroyed and their families were wiped out. How sad was the living people?
This grief needs to be vented, otherwise life cannot return to normal.
The corpses were dragged outside the city one after another and piled into a hill. The prisoners were also escorted over, and the swords were slashed hard on the necks, causing blood to flow into rivers.
The common people were moved upon hearing the news, and those who were still alive helped the elderly and children to come and watch.
Murder is a bloody scene, but seeing the villains who bullied them the past few days being executed, I could only feel happy.
At first they were restrained, but then some people couldn't help but cursed, but the military lords ignored them, so the people no longer suppressed their emotions. Some paid homage to their ancestors on the spot, and some cried and cursed the thieves.
Feng Chuncao also brought his mother over, and said bitterly: "It's an advantage for them to die like this!"
Xiaomei cried and said: "Mom, dad, grandma, have you seen it? The person who killed you has been punished!"
This matter lasted for three days. During these three days, green smoke was floating everywhere in Xingtong City. Every family with living people was burning paper money to worship their dead relatives. They could also find corpses to collect and bury.
All I can do is set up a memorial tablet and do my best.
Three days later, the body was set on fire, with black smoke billowing into the sky.
Zhoucheng, which is relatively close to Xingtong, saw this black smoke.
The ground shook.
At the Governor's Mansion in Yingzhong, the Xin soldiers rushed over and entered the courtyard.
"Report! Xingtong is broken!"
The governor of Yingzhong, whose surname was Cheng, was very old and his reaction was a bit slow. He asked in confusion: "Didn't Xingtong be defeated long ago? Let the defeated soldiers take advantage of the chaos to attack."
Changshi accepted the letter and replied: "Sir, have you forgotten? Nanyuan has sent troops!"
Governor Cheng remembered it and couldn't help but wonder: "It's only been a few days? Isn't it too soon?"
Chang Shi was also shocked and handed over the letter: "Yes..."
Governor Cheng opened the letter and saw that it was written that Miss Xu San captured Xingtong in just three days, and there were almost no casualties on the Nanyuan side. Afterwards, all the defeated soldiers were killed, and the corpses were built into the Jingguan...
The writer of the letter has excellent literary talent. He vividly describes how powerful the Nanyuan army is, how spectacular the capital is, and how the people cry and curse.
Governor Cheng took a deep breath and could not recover for a long time.
Chang Shi felt itchy and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, how are you doing?"
Governor Cheng handed over the letter and said in a complicated tone: "The situation in Chu is about to change."
Chang Shi read it several times and was shocked: "This, this..."
To be honest, Xingtong was unjustly defeated in the first round. Although the rebels were ferocious, there were tens of thousands of troops stationed in Xingtong! Who knew that the mountain people were causing trouble and were taken advantage of by the rebels.
The garrison troops were sent out to quell the chaos, but halfway through, the rebels had already taken a shortcut and attacked in the east and west. Now it was better, there were not many soldiers left in Xingtong, and these rebels were desperadoes, so they were captured like this
.
If we really want to fight head-on, Xingtong may not necessarily lose.
However, it is easier to defend the city than to attack it. Since Xingtong has fallen into the hands of the rebels, it will take some effort to recapture it. They never doubted that the Xu family would win, but it was a bit scary to win so easily.
"Sir, should we send someone to congratulate you?" Chang Shi asked.
Governor Cheng sighed and said, "I'm afraid congratulations will suffice this time."
Chang Shi was stunned for a moment: "You mean..."
Governor Cheng nodded slowly, with a solemn expression: "Seize Xingtong, kill the rebels, build the capital, and the common people are angry. It is true that heroes emerge from youth, and the Chu land will be unified."
The last time we captured Yongcheng, Miss Xu San could be said to have taken it by surprise, and everyone admired her but were not afraid. But this time she led her troops to capture it openly, which was different.
Since we can capture Xingtong, we can also capture other state capitals, right?
