I’m The King Chapter 645: : Blood flows into a river

It wasn't raining, but there was the sound of running water on the streets. Teams of soldiers held swords and spears and walked guardedly between the streets and alleys. There was no joy of victory on their faces, but endless panic and endless rage.

What flows on the ground is not water, but blood. It flows along the slightly sloping street, towards the low-lying places, where it gathers into a pool of blood that is still steaming, and there are more places. However, it has condensed into clusters of purple black. On the ground, on the walls, and on the fortifications in the middle of the street, it is like an evil flower from hell, blooming cruelly and coquettishly.

After stepping on it, Zhao Mu felt a little sticky. Zhao Mu raised his foot, but what he saw was the blood streaks on the boots. A nauseous feeling.

This is Hefeng County, a small town in Dai County, but it was this small town that dragged Zhao Jun for half a month, until finally the soldiers ran out of food and Zhao Jun finally broke into the city and waited. What they wanted was not flowers and cheers to greet Master Wang, but men, women and children to fight back. Barricades had long been built on the streets, and every lane and every house became a trap for killing people.

The unsuspecting Zhao army suffered heavy losses in this city. They only killed or injured more than a thousand people after besieging the city for half a month. , They actually killed more than a thousand people.

Most of them were killed off guard when they first entered the city.

When the Zhao army entered the city, when they were attacking the barricades, they were also searching house by house for the rebels defending the city. Yes, the troops in Daijun are all rebels now. Those women who looked shivering, those old men huddled in corners. Even those boys who are still young will draw swords and spears from the dark when Zhao Jun is unprepared. Stabbed hard into the chests of these soldiers and chopped off their heads.

Zhao Jun's forward general Zhao Shang. The first person who invaded Hefeng County suffered a terrible loss before he experienced the joy of his first victory. Seeing that his elite did not die under the city wall or fall under the swords and guns of the enemy soldiers , but in the end he was killed by the old and weak women and children for no reason, and his eyes were red. Immediately issued an order to massacre the city.

Hefeng County was plunged into a sea of ​​blood. By the time Zhao Mu heard the news and came from the base camp to stop it, there were not many people left in Hefeng.

Walking in a pool of blood, Zhao Mu felt numb, the bright red in front of his eyes seemed to expand without limit, and when he opened his eyes, it seemed that the whole world had turned red, his tall body shook a few times, kissing In the exclamation of soldiers. Almost fell over.

"It's okay, it's okay!" With the support of his own soldiers, Zhao Mu barely stood up straight. Gathered up, "Let's go, go to the county government."

The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and picking up the corpses. Zhao Mu felt a throbbing pain in his heart when each corpse was carried in front of Zhao Mu. These are all the people of Da Zhao. On the battlefield against foreign enemies. Instead of killing each other.

The county government is close at hand, and the buildings there are taller and stronger than elsewhere. Therefore, there is more blood flowing here, in the air. The strong smell of blood is lingering, and every time you step on a step, you will leave a blood-red footprint on the step, and the color of the steps on this platform has long been invisible.

When Zhao Mu stepped into the county government office, the first thing he saw was Zhao Shang kneeling in the courtyard. Similarly, in the courtyard, blood flowed like a river, and corpses were piled on top of each other. It was built like a wall, and there were soldiers from Dai County and ordinary people in ordinary clothes.

Zhao Mu didn't look at Zhao Shang, who was kneeling upright in the yard, and walked straight to the wall of corpses. He reached out and touched a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy. He was holding the spear tightly in one hand, while the other hand was hanging down his head, but he was still holding a knife tightly. Although he was dead, his eyes were still wide open, with pale white eyes. Looking at the front blankly, Zhao Mu read hatred from it.

Zhao Mu shook his body a few times, this time, he didn't hold on, but sat down slowly, in the pool of blood all over the ground, holding his head in his hands, tears streaming down his face.

"Taiwei, you kill me!" Zhao Shang walked over on his knees, knelt down in front of Zhao Mu, and burst into tears, "I have to give this order, because my soldiers are dying, and I can't let my soldiers die." Brothers died here for nothing, it is all my fault, you kill me!"

Zhao Mu raised his head, looked at Zhao Shang, and shook his head slowly.

"Zhao Shang, even if I want to deal with you, it's not me anymore. I have received the order from the king to return to Beijing to report on my duties. Zhao Qi will replace me. He will command you to crusade against Zhao County. You, wait After he comes, please ask him for guilt!" Zhao Mu's voice was barely audible.

"Taiwei!" Zhao Shang's eyes widened.

"Is there anyone alive?" Zhao Mu didn't talk about this topic again, but asked directly.

"After receiving the Taiwei's order, our army stopped massacring the city, but there were not many people left. Everyone in the city was arrested, but the resistance in the county government was the strongest. , the last general personally directed the attack, and finally captured a dozen people alive, including Lin Sen, the county magistrate of Hefeng County. He failed to commit suicide and was captured by our army."

"Bring him up, I want to ask him, why? Why did you do this?" Zhao Mu almost burst out these few words from his throat.

Lin Sen was almost dragged in without touching the ground, Zhao Jun's hatred for him seemed quite strong, the thick hemp rope was deeply strung into his flesh, protruding more and more from his chest The blood dripping from his body and the somewhat shocking wound, the scar is on the heart, but the flesh is very shallow. His clothes were ripped apart, revealing his thin body, which was **** so tightly at the moment, that his ribs stood out.

Zhao Mu looked at this frail scholar. He had been stationed in Dai County for many years, and had met this county magistrate once. Zhao Mu had a very good memory. Forget, at this moment, when he looked at the blood-stained captive, his eyes were full of disgust.

"Taiwei Zhao!" Lin Sen blurted out.

"Kneel down!" The soldier who dragged him over shouted sharply.

When Lin Sen saw Zhao Mu, he was in a daze for a short while, but after hearing the soldiers shouting loudly, he raised his head and laughed loudly: "Kneel, why do you kneel, the Taiwei is no longer the Taiwei I was waiting for, It's our enemy, I, Lin Sen, will die if I die, how can I kneel down to my enemy."

Zhao Shang was furious, and he smashed the scabbard into Lin Sen's knee. As soon as Lin Sen bent his knee, he was about to kneel to the ground. On the ground, his forehead was on the ground, and he saw blood immediately, but he did not kneel down in front of Zhao Mu.

Looking at such a strong scholar, Zhao Mu was moved even though he was disgusted, and waved his hand, "Help him up."

Two soldiers held Lin Sen up.

"Why?" Zhao Mu looked straight into Lin Sen's eyes, pointed at the corpses all over the yard, and pointed at the boy who died in death, "Why did you do this? You have been a county magistrate in Hefeng for more than ten years, and I know you Love the people like a child, and the people in Hefeng have a high reputation. If you hadn’t organized and incited these people, would they have died like this? You are also the people of Da Zhao! You killed them all.”

Lin Sen looked at Zhao Mu, but suddenly burst into a ghostly laugh: "The people of Da Zhao? Taiwei, do you think so? Okay, then let me ask you, twenty years A few years ago, when I was just a boy in his teens, Daijun encountered a severe drought that was rare in a century, with thousands of miles of barren land and no food harvest, yet I still had to support your tens of thousands of troops stationed in Daijun. At that time, The imperial court can give Dai County a grain of relief!"

Zhao Mu closed his eyes, of course he would not forget the severe drought that year.

"Ten years ago, a plague of locusts severely affected Dai County, but there was no shortage of food for the army. Do you know how many people starved to death in Dai County that year? That year, I am already the county magistrate of Hefeng, and let me tell you that in the county of Hefeng alone, 1,548 people starved to death. Where was the court at that time?"

"Dazhao's standing army is hundreds of thousands, all of which are supported by the court. Why does Daijun want to support your tens of thousands of troops with the power of a county?" He suddenly turned his head and pointed at Zhao Shang and the soldiers around him, "You , you, which one has not drank the blood of my Daijun people?"

Zhao Mu let out a long breath, only to feel a wave of dryness rising in his heart, "I want to resist the Huns, that's all I can do."

Lin Sen laughed endlessly, "Yes, you have to resist the Huns, no matter how poor or poor you are, our Daijun people also recognize it~IndoMTL.com~ I starved to death, died of poverty, but there is no shortage I paid you a piece of grain and a penny of money, but five years ago, when the Huns came, where were you? When the Huns swept through our Dai County, where were you?"

Lin Sen's appearance at this time was horrific, he was struggling desperately, his eyes were wide open, and the two soldiers tried their best to hold him down, "Zhao Mu, in the past few decades, if it weren't for Princess Zilan In the drought twenty years ago, Princess Zilan lost all her wealth. In the locust plague ten years ago, Princess Zilan starved to death of a son. Now, you have killed another son. His eldest son, you still want to kill him, let me tell you, we don’t allow it, and the Daijun people don’t allow it.”

Zhao Mu fell silent, not only him, even Zhao Shang fell silent, the courtyard was deadly silent.

After a while, Zhao Mu waved his hand, "Let him go!"

Zhao Shang was startled, "Taiwei, this man is like a lunatic."

"He's just a frail scholar, how could he do anything to me?" Zhao Mu said coldly, "Lin Sen, I'll let you go and give Zilan a sentence for me."

"This sentence is, Zilan, is this what you want?" (to be continued)
