Turbulent Times Chapter 15: Entering the city and cruelty
King Bo Duo patted Mi Qinchi on the top of his head, with a sacred expression on his face, and said in a way similar to singing: "The Dharma King Tianzun can feel your perseverance in faith, as long as you defeat the people of the Sui Dynasty, let the glory of the Dharma King Tianzun shine On the body of tens of thousands of Sui people, you will become a general under the throne of the Dharma King."
Mi Qinchi suddenly trembled with excitement, tears streaming down his face. The bald man next to him looked envious, but there was a strange light flickering in the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, a goshawk flew from the south, lingered on the top of the city for a while, then swooped down and landed on the shoulder of King Boduo. He pecked the shoulder of King Boduofa.
There is a small copper pipe tied to the goshawk's leg. King Boduo took out a note from it, glanced at it, and said: "In five days at most, our army will break through Jincheng County, take Jincheng, Longxi The two counties are connected as one, and when the time comes, the army will go south, capture Tianshui County, occupy the entire Yongzhou, and go straight to Guanzhong. Let my teaching shine on the entire Sui Dynasty."
…
Wang Junlin has excellent eyesight, so he stood in front of the city gate, and could clearly see the goshawk landed on the shoulder of a monk at the head of the city from a distance, and there was a person kneeling at the monk's feet. I wondered if this monk was the Bodo Dharma King that the Godot scout who was captured last time said. He had a vague feeling that this monk might bring him a lot of trouble.
Suddenly, Wang Junlin felt that the blood jade pendant hanging close to his chest became colder and colder, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling astonished. So far, Wang Junlin has not found anything special about this heart-shaped blood jade pendant, but because it exudes a faint sense of coldness, it is the hottest time of the day, but he can't wear short sleeves and underpants like the later generations. On the contrary, he was wearing clothes inside and out, plus armor, so hot that he was dying, so Wang Junlin kept hanging the blood jade pendant on his chest to cool off the heat. It was strange to say, since he hung the jade pendant on his chest, he felt very refreshed. Wang Junlin couldn't bear to take it off anymore.
The Qiang people have the same skin, hair, and eyes as the Han people. The reason why they can be distinguished at a glance is mainly due to their clothing and some habitual body language. With Wang Junlin, a master of dressing up from later generations, and Jiang Mulang, a pure Qiang, after dressing up, the group changed from a team of Sui army scouts into a team of Qiang warriors.
In addition, more than a dozen Han captives were tied with ropes. All the way to the gate of Longnan City, they encountered several teams of Qiang and Turkic patrolling soldiers, but they were not suspected at all.
"Which tribe do you belong to? I don't know that there are many slaves in the city, and you bring Han dogs into the city. Don't you think that there is a lot of food in the city!" The little chief said with a sarcasm on his face.
Jiang Muling immediately laughed and said in Qiang language: "Oh! Look at my brain, it's still the same as before, but I forgot that the more than 100,000 Han dogs in Longxi City are already slaves of our Qiang people. I should have known about the Han village on the way. No looting."
"You have plundered the Han village, let us see what you have gained." The little leader of the Na Ge Dao Department's eyes lit up and said.
Jiang Muling took out a piece of jewelry and two pieces of gold from the cloth bag on his back, handed them to the little leader of the Ge Dao Department, and said, "Brother, where is there a better place to live in the city, please help me." Brothers, find one."
The little leader of the Ge Dao Department collected the things with a greedy expression on his face. He was already smiling, but he had forgotten to interrogate and check, and said: "There is a man named Liu in the west of the city. You can settle down there first. Come down. Later, our patriarch will make unified arrangements."
Jiang Muling said with a happy face: "Thank you, brother, I will treat you to a drink some other day."
The little leader waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Let's go quickly, that house might be turned into a horse pen by those Turkic dogs again."
"Let's go." Jiang Mulang waved his hand and led the people to the west of the city.
As soon as Wang Junlin and his party entered the city, two knights from the sword department galloped towards them, and a knight with red eyes shouted in the distance: "The Sui army captured our tribal stronghold and stayed in the stronghold. Thirty thousand women, children, old and young were all beheaded by the Sui army."
When the news spread, all Gedao tribesmen in Longxi City immediately cursed and clamored that they must take revenge. On the night when the Turks and Qiang broke through the city, they killed nearly 30,000 soldiers and civilians in the city. Except for some of the remaining Han people who saw the opportunity, they surrendered voluntarily and gave half of their property. In those days, all other Han Chinese became slaves of the Turks and the Ge Dao Department, living a life worse than pigs and dogs.
However, when Wang Junlin came all the way, Jiang Mulang yelled twice in the Qiang language, and the others also yelled a few words indiscriminately, expressing the same hatred with the Qiang people.
…
"This **** galloped all the way, and the old man chased him so hard. When we find this bastard, we must tear him apart and torture him to death, so that the old man's heart will be relieved." Long Xi Outside the city, in the mountains and forests to the south, where Wang Junlin and his party were resting during the day, the old man in a gold silk Taoist robe appeared, his face was pale and his figure was slightly embarrassed. Wang Junlin and his party alternated between two horses and traveled more than a hundred miles a day with almost no rest. The old Taoist was worried that he would lose his senses if the distance was too far away, so he used light kung fu and physical skills all the way to catch up, which consumed a lot of energy, but he was exhausted.
After sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath for a stick of incense, the old Taoist unfolded his posture and rushed towards Longxi City. In the night, his figure flickered like a ghost.
…
…
In the middle of the night, the night was dark, and the sound of desperate weeping faintly echoed in Longxi City, occasionally mixed with shrill screams. That is the Turkic people and the people of the Ge Dao Department are torturing and humiliating the Han slaves they assigned respectively. Especially today, the old nest of the Ge Dao Department was destroyed by the Sui army. These Ge Dao soldiers who lost their relatives vented their hatred on the Han people in the city . Apparently, it was destined that there would be thousands more corpses of Han Chinese in Longxi city tonight.
Inner Chengmen Street in the west of the city, Jiang Mulang and Zhou Hu, who were dressed as Qiang warriors, hurried across the main street, entered an alley, and came to a house with a plaque on the door of "Liu House". Zhou Hu knocked rhythmically After ten times, the door creaked open.
The people inside let him in, looked around, and closed the door again without paying attention.
The two walked all the way to the living room, where Wang Junlin, Wu San, Wu Si, Zhou Hu and other 18 scouts were among them.
For Wang Junlin, things like going deep into the enemy's lair were commonplace in later generations. The nineteen scouts also did a lot of similar things. They are all elite soldiers. Wu San and Wu Si simply put their lives aside Dead man, so everyone can't see how nervous at this time.
Wang Junlin was talking to Wu San and Wu Si. These two guys were simply wooden people. They never said a word if Wang Junlin didn't ask them questions. Even if they asked questions, their answers were extremely simple. This made Wang Junlin, who wanted to inquire about some things about the Dugu family through the two of them, quite speechless.
Zhou Hu and Jiang Mu came in, Wang Junlin nodded slightly to them, and they clasped their fists together to salute, Zhou Hu said, "Chief Huo, we have already found out, Chief Dugu is locked up in the prefect's mansion, where exactly is he locked up?" Haven't found out yet."
After these few days of contact, especially when Wang Junlin sneaked into Longxi City with more than 20 people easily, coupled with the fact that Wang Junlin is much stronger than him, Zhou Hu has initially recognized Wang Junlin and secretly admired him heart, let alone others.
Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Any more news?"
Zhou Hu sighed, with indignation and murderous intent on his face, and said: "Huo Chang, the Han people in the city are too miserable, the Turkic people in the city and the Ge Dao people treat the people in the city like animals, and kill them if they want. Not to mention women, as young as ten years old and as old as forty years old, they were all ordered to strip naked, and they were raped and prostituted by Turkic people and animals from the Ge Dao Department at any time. In just four days, they heard that they could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide There were more than 2,000 women, and as many as nearly 10,000 men were killed because their women and relatives were humiliated."
When Wang Junlin heard this, his expression became extremely gloomy, and the other scouts also cursed.
"Shut up! Do you want someone to discover our identities?" Wang Junlin shouted, and all the scouts immediately shut up, but they all looked angry, and the murderous intent in their hearts was beyond words.
Until now, Wang Junlin did not understand why Yu Juluo ordered to kill all the more than 30,000 Qiang people who were left by the Ge Dao Department in the old lair of the village. Because he already knew what would happen after the Ge Dao Department and the Turkic army broke through the city.
Wang Junlin found that he still far underestimated the cruelty of ancient wars between different races. However, he immediately remembered modern history, the war of aggression launched by the Japanese country against China, isn't it the same?
It seems that since ancient times, wars between different races have been more cruel and inhumane than wars between the same race.
"Any more news?" Wang Junlin asked.
This time Jiang Mulang said: "The Turkic cavalry only has three thousand, but they are arrogant and unruly, and occupy the best mansions and women in the city, and more than half of the property, especially the Turkic people occupy the county government grain depot and weapons. Ku, only gave the Ge Dao Department a small amount of food, not even a single weapon and armor, the Ge Dao Department was extremely dissatisfied with this, and only tolerated it because of King Podo."
Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Yes, this information is very important, and it may be useful later."
After a pause, Wang Junlin continued: "The Prefect's Mansion covers an area of over 100 mu, and there are many buildings in it. It is extremely troublesome to find, let alone save people. Therefore, we must find out where Chief Dugu is being held. "
Zhou Hu thought for a while, and said, "Huo Chang, this subordinate will grab your tongue and ask questions!"
