The following text
The ominous premonition in Yan Mo's heart indeed came true.
When Zhao Hongrun ordered the Wei soldiers from the Junshui Camp to quickly control the whole city, and personally led the five hundred Wei soldiers to the area where the shouts of killing came from, he was shocked to find that on the road near the center of the city, there were people wearing clothes everywhere. The corpses of ordinary Chu people include old and young, male and female.
Zhao Hongrun frowned and looked at General Hou Bai, who was running over panting, but saw that Hou Bai was stunned for a moment after seeing the corpses on the ground, looking around blankly.
Zhao Hongrun was about to say something when he suddenly heard a burst of screams and cries from a woman not far ahead. He frowned and galloped over.
Not long after, Zhao Hongrun rode his war horse to several houses made of mud bricks. Outside the house, he saw more than a dozen Pingyang soldiers chatting and laughing. When he saw Zhao Hongrun coming towards him, he was so surprised. They were so shocked that they all kowtowed to the ground and saluted.
After all, no one in the Pingyang Army knew who Zhao Hongrun was.
Zhao Hongrun ignored those Pingyang soldiers, got off his horse, came outside a house made of mud bricks, and kicked open the door.
Immediately, the sounds in the room suddenly stopped. Several Pingyang soldiers in the room subconsciously raised their weapons and looked back at the door. When they found that the person who kicked the door was actually His Highness King Su of the Wei Kingdom, they were all shocked. Somewhat at a loss.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun's Zongwei Shen Yu and Zhang Ao, as well as Pingyang Army's Yan Mo and Hou Bai also poured in.
Damn it!
Yan Mo and Hou Bai cursed in their hearts.
Because they saw the body of a man on the ground in the house. Although he had died long ago, his face still clearly showed anger, and on the bed, a woman who had been stripped of her clothes was crying softly in the shabby bedding. , and beside the bed, there were several soldiers of the Pingyang Army standing helplessly, and one of them even took off his clothes in a hurry, and was hiding behind his companions with his head lowered.
These bastards...
Yan Mo gritted his teeth bitterly.
At this moment, he was so ashamed that he wished he could kill all these guys with a knife.
It’s so embarrassing! It’s so embarrassing!
Taking a secret look at the unhappy expression on Zhao Hongrun's face, Yan Mo couldn't help but think of yesterday's incident.
I remember that after conquering Runan yesterday, Zhao Hongrun asked Yan Mo if he had disturbed the people in the city. At that time, Yan Mo didn't think much about it and just said truthfully, "The soldiers and generals in Junshui Camp are very well-behaved."
At that time, Zhao Hongrun's expression was a bit strange.
Yan Mo didn't think much about it at the time, he just felt a little strange. It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized: It turns out that His Highness Prince Su was not worried about the Junshui Camp, but the Pingyang soldiers under his command who were from the Chu army!
Who can guarantee that these Pingyang soldiers who committed crimes of burning, killing, looting, and looting against the people of Wei State will definitely observe military discipline when treating the people of their homeland?
How to deal with this...?
Yan Mo couldn't help but feel a little confused.
I have to say that this issue is a bit tricky.
You must know that the Chu State does not restrict the soldiers from killing and looting in the enemy city after conquering the enemy city. After all, this kind of barbaric looting is the main source of wealth for the poor Chu soldiers. After all, the Chu army only has a "settlement fee" ", but there is no so-called military pay, it all depends on looting after conquering the enemy city. If it is stopped forcibly, it will cause dissatisfaction and backlash among the army's sergeants.
Therefore, the generals of Chu State often turned a blind eye to the killing and looting of their soldiers.
But the problem is that the person in charge now is Zhao Hongrun, King Su of the Wei Dynasty. His Highness, King Su, made his position clear to Yan Mo yesterday: We are soldiers, not bandits!
Thinking of this, Yan Mo couldn't help but look at the two thousand general Hou Bai with hatred.
After noticing Yan Mo's angry look, Hou Bai, a man of two thousand people, couldn't help but feel a little wronged. He said to himself. I never supported these bastards in persecuting the people of my motherland. I just asked them to station here.
But even so, he still understood the hidden meaning in Yan Mo's eyes. He looked stunned for a moment and shouted in a deep voice: "Come here!... Drag out these bastards who corrupt military discipline and chop them down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers from outside the house heard the sound and rushed in. They were all a little surprised by Hou Bai's order, but they did not dare to disobey it.
Seeing this, the few Ping Yang soldiers in the room fell to their knees in fright, crying and begging: "General, have mercy on me! General, have mercy on me!"
Yan Mo and Hou Bai turned their heads in disgust, believing that they must be very angry at these soldiers who persecuted their own people.
They simply had no face to face the Wei soldiers in Junshui Camp.
You must know that although the Chu soldiers killed and plundered many people of the Wei state in the Wei state, after they invaded the Chu state, none of the Wei soldiers retaliated with grievances and never did anything to massacre the people of the Chu state. Things come up.
The army of Wei State has a thorough understanding of the concept of "enemy". On the battlefield, they will never let go of any Chu soldier who still holds a weapon and attempts to resist, but away from the battlefield, they will never let go. To kill those unarmed Chu people.
This is the quality that an elite teacher should possess.
From this perspective, the army of Chu State is simply a bunch of rabble! A bunch of bandits! A bunch of bandits!
There is no qualification to call it an army!
Perhaps because Yan Mo and Hou Bai ignored them, the Ping Yang soldiers in the room cried and begged Zhao Hongrun.
"Your Highness King Su, we all sincerely submit to you and to the Wei Dynasty... We, yes, we have long regarded ourselves as Wei people, so... these Chu people are our enemies, don't you think so? ?”
Can you say this?
Yan Mo's eyes showed strong disgust.
But he didn't say anything more, he just turned to look at Zhao Hongrun. As long as Zhao Hongrun said the word "kill" in his mouth, I believe he would draw his sword and kill all these shameless bastards without saying a word.
In his opinion, these bastards are not worthy of being Wei people, let alone Chu people!
Under Yan Mo's close attention, Zhao Hongrun thought deeply for a moment and sighed: "Yes, I have said that I will treat all the Chu soldiers who surrender to me equally, but... I want what I want We are soldiers, not bandits!" After that, he glanced at the desperate Pingyang soldiers and said in a deep voice: "After you surrendered to me and helped Qu Cheng capture this city, you should You will be recorded as a meritorious deed, but the evil deeds you and others have done today will not be tolerated by this king... The merits and demerits are equal to each other. I will not kill you, but you are no longer soldiers of the Pingyang Army. You go. Go ahead, take the dirty things you looted, leave this city, and go back to your hometown!"
"His Royal Highness King Su..."
Zhao Hongrun suddenly raised his hand to interrupt the pleadings of the Pingyang soldiers, and said coldly: "This is already my king's bottom line... If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave."
What a clear reward and punishment...
Yan Mo, Hou Bai and the other Ping Yang soldiers in the room were all in awe after hearing this.
They were shocked by Zhao Hongrun's resolute attitude towards not harming civilians. They were also moved by the fact that Zhao Hongrun was so clear about rewards and punishments that he spared these Chu soldiers who were regarded as mere scraps in their eyes because of their merits.
"Get out of here!" Yan Mo bared his teeth and shouted sternly.
Those Pingyang soldiers, no, it should be said that they were the former Chu soldiers who had been dismissed from the Pingyang army. They glanced at Zhao Hongrun in horror, especially Yan Mo, who had a murderous face next to him, lowered his head and wore a looting belt. The acquired property was left in a hurry.
Looking at the woman on the couch in the room who was still sobbing, and then at the dead Chu Min who fell on the ground, Zhao Hongrun took a long breath and called out in a deep voice: "Yan Mo."
"The end is here!"
"In the name of my king, you send an order to the Pingyang army: I have decided to give Pingyang soldiers a military salary. The amount is comparable to that of the Yanling soldiers, and the property seized from the big clan will be rewarded accordingly when I reward the three armies after the war. Give rewards to the entire army. However, from now on, the Pingyang army will no longer kill and plunder needlessly. If I happen to see you again, I will definitely kill you without mercy!"
"As you command!"
Yan Mo sighed inwardly and answered with cupped fists.
"Hou Bai."
"The end will be here."
"Reorganize the sergeants. This city will be taken over by the Junshui Battalion. If there are any sergeants who have committed evil acts of killing, looting, and robbery during this period, they will be removed from the Pingyang Army and asked to return to their hometown with their filth."
"Follow the order!"
Half an hour later, the two thousand Pingyang soldiers who remained in the city learned of the latest order from King Su Zhao Hongrun.
It is undeniable that most people are very happy. After all, Zhao Hongrun decided to give them military pay, and the amount was comparable to that of the Yanling soldiers, not to mention Zhao Hongrun's promise that after the war, he would also reward them with part of the captured wealth of the big clan.
This greatly enhanced Zhao Hongrun's prestige among the Pingyang army.
However, the second half of Zhao Hongrun's order made most of Pingyang's soldiers look at each other in confusion.
What? Killing and plundering the people of Chu? The soldiers of their Pingyang army killed and plundered the people of Chu?
This...how is this possible?
You must know that the soldiers of the Pingyang Army are all Chu people. Since they are Chu people, how could they commit such evil acts as rape, humiliation, robbery, and murder in the Chu Kingdom?
However, the result of the inquiry made most of Pingyang's soldiers look at each other: It turns out that among the Chu people, there really are those damned bastards.
It was simply hard for them to accept that the Wei people had never persecuted the people of Chu, but instead it was their compatriots who did such ugly and shameless things regardless of their feelings for their homeland.
This undoubtedly made their mood very complicated.
After this episode, the Wei soldiers from Junshui Camp quickly took over the entire Pengcheng. At this time, the Peng family had already surrendered. Zhao Hongrun did not kill them, but gave them a share and ordered them to move to Ru immediately. South.
For the other nine parts, Zhao Hongrun asked the Yanling soldiers who were driving the carriages to quickly load the carriages and transport them back to Runan, where they would be transported to the Wei Dynasty in the future.
As for the domestic slaves and farmers of the Peng family, Zhao Hongrun announced that the previous contracts were invalid and asked these people to move to Runan.
But it is undeniable that due to some shameful things done by some Pingyang soldiers in Pengcheng, the Chu people in this city did not trust this army that was a mixture of Chu and Wei people.
By this time, Qu Cheng had already conquered a small city built by a big clan.
It is said to be a large clan called Lu. (To be continued.)
