Chapter Three Hundred and Sixtieth Retreat To Advance(1/2)
The huge Luoyi.
Panic-stricken screams and cries came and went.
One after another, the gorgeous and tall vermilion doors were violently broken down from the outside.
One after another, red-coated soldiers, as fierce as wolves and tigers, rushed into it with ferocious looks.
There was no burning or killing.
Only looting.
The red-coated soldiers were so frightened that they rushed into the houses of wealthy families with decayed beams and painted buildings, overthrowing the servants who dared to come up to stop them after being eaten by the bear's heart, and moved everything that could be seen with the naked eye.
All the items that can be moved and taken away are packed out of the gate and packed into the truck quickly!
Including but not limited to bamboo slips, picture albums, gold and silver, cloth, livestock, and some surplus grain...
No one bothers those poor people, who can tell by looking at their faces that their lives are not well off either.
Because just those wealthy families are enough to keep them busy...
The Red Army is a professionally trained army, and generally does not burn, kill, and loot...unless it can't be resisted.
In a sense, the city of Luoyi is really awesome. There has never been a city like Luoyi that can gain the unanimous dislike of the red army from top to bottom, whether it is the children of poor farmers or the
None of the children of the Jishan Family can find any sympathy in this city.
In this city, even the poor families who live in precarious life look at the red-coated soldiers with an indescribable sense of superiority and contempt, as if they didn't break into Luoyang.
The conqueror of the city, but the stinky beggar who entered Luoyi on his knees!
The red-coated troops, who were mostly children of tenant farmers, were particularly sensitive and disgusted with such a condescending look!
Although they can't understand, where do these Luoyi people get their confidence...even your emperor was killed by us, how can you still be so stupid?
Driven by such hostility towards the same enemy, the red-coated soldiers were particularly ruthless. Some who were not bothered even removed the withered fences and windows of wealthy families, loaded them into trucks, and took them away.
, the wealthy families they raided were the real rats, and they all left with tears in their eyes...
Officers at all levels only stick to the bottom line of not harming people's lives. For the rest... they just wish they couldn't do it themselves!
…
"Hey, there are so many bamboo slips in this family!"
A squad leader led three or five Paoze brothers and rushed into the side hall of a large household. When they saw the bamboo slips all over the wall, the squad leader stopped in his tracks as he hurriedly walked.
He thought for a while, turned around and shouted outside the house: "Big head, where are you?"
"Put it here!"
Amidst the rude response, a squad leader, who was as big as a calf, walked quickly from the courtyard into the side hall: "I can't handle any big things, so what use are you?"
The squad leader in the side hall pointed to the bamboo slips on the wall without saying a word. The big-headed man who was barely able to cross the threshold suddenly understood. He turned around and shouted outside the room: "Brothers, take care of the head of this family."
Please come over here!"
After a while, a tall and thick soldier carried a shivering middle-aged man in a blue Confucian shirt like a little chicken into the side hall.
"I asked you to 'invite' me here. Is this how you invite people? You can't even handle big things, so what's the use of you!"
Niu Datou opened his brother's paws, picked up the middle-aged Confucian scholar like a chicken, lifted him into the side hall, stood upright, pointed at the bamboo slips on the wall, squeezed
With a ferocious smile on his face: "Are you a scholar?"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at the bamboo slips on the wall that had been accumulated by generations of people, and then looked at the big face in front of him with a bloody mouth, as if he wanted to eat someone. He didn't dare to admit it, but he had to admit it: "
I have read several volumes of sage books..."
"As long as you are a scholar!"
Niu Datou was so happy that he slapped the middle-aged Confucian scholar on the shoulder, which made the middle-aged Confucian scholar's body shake so hard that he almost slipped to the ground due to the force of his hand.
"Our old cow has a secret to tell you!"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar shook his head hurriedly: "I won't listen!"
Niu Datou raised his eyebrows and said fiercely: "You have to listen even if you don't want to!"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar immediately followed the good advice: "Yes, yes, I listen, I listen!"
Niu Big Head bent down mysteriously and whispered: "Do you know how the little emperor died when the Spring and Autumn Palace was in trouble?"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar suddenly opened his eyes and whispered back: "Didn't the palace collapse and the beams fall down and kill him?"
"Look, are you making a mistake? How could such a big thing go wrong?"
The big cow patted his shoulder happily, and said proudly: "That night it was clearly our horn that rushed into the Spring and Autumn Palace, pushed the little calf into the urine bucket, and drowned him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the squad leader in the side hall who was commanding his subordinate Buzhu Jian put his head over, pointed at his face and said: "There is also Zhang Meng, I personally carried the urine bucket for this guy!"
"And I, Zhang San, the little calf was struggling. I held up his legs and helped Team Leader Niu press his head into the urine and poke him!"
"And I, Wang Er, look at my legs and you can tell that I run fast. I was the one who rushed in first that night and caught that calf!"
As soon as this was mentioned, a group of red-coated soldiers were too lazy to move the bamboo slips. They scrambled to stretch their faces in front of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, pointed at their own faces, and said fiercely!
The middle-aged Confucian scholar stood back in shock and looked at the group of fighting men with an angry look on his face: "I have no enmity with you, why do you want to humiliate my IQ like this?"
When Niu Datou saw this, he slapped the middle-aged Confucian scholar on the shoulder again with a tigerish face: "Do you hear it clearly? Say it again and let us listen!"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at Niu Datou with a grimace. Niu Datou glared at his bell-sized eyes, and he could only say aggrievedly: "In the second year of the king's reign, on the 25th day of the seventh lunar month, the Han general Li
Xin led 30,000 red-coated troops to conquer Luoyi. There was Niu Jiao, the Han military commander, who led Zhang Meng, Zhang San, Wang Er and others to set fire to the Spring and Autumn Palace, broke into the palace at night, Wang Er arrested the young emperor, and Zhang Meng searched for a drowning bucket.
, Zhang San hugged the emperor's feet, the horns of the bull drowned the young emperor in the drowning bucket, and the young emperor collapsed."
“What a literary talent!”
Niu Datou actually didn't quite understand why he was called "Drowning Bucket" one moment and "Drowning Young Emperor" the next, but he heard this guy arrange the names of their brothers in order, one after the other.
I thought it was extremely reliable: "We are optimistic about you. If I write a book in the future, I have to do it like this. We have remembered your family name. If you dare to write anything, I will burn your yard when I come back next time!"
"
Zhang Meng, Zhang San, Wang Er: "Yes, I lit your yard!"
The middle-aged scribe nodded in confusion.
Niu Datou patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and left him out of the side hall: "Okay, go and do your work! For the sake of your understanding, I will only take the household items and not tear down your home...
…Hey, Li Ergou, don’t tear down the damn windows, there’s almost no room for them in the car!”
A disdainful response came from the "ping ping ping ping ping" sound of demolition in that compartment: "If you can't put it down, it will crack open. If it doesn't work anymore, you can still use it as firewood. What kind of house is this? Such good wood."
Even look down upon..."
Niu Jiao helplessly spread his hands to the middle-aged Confucian scholar who still looked confused: "You saw that we spoke, but they didn't listen!"
After saying that, he stopped talking to this guy, turned around and walked back to the side hall, urging the brothers who were moving: "Please be quick with your hands and feet. There are still several houses waiting for us on this street. We can't let people go."
We’ve been waiting for a long time, Mengzi, we’re thinking about getting a few more bullock carts, but these five carts are not enough no matter what!”
"There are no bullock carts in this area. The bandits from the second and third battalions have already robbed them all. Let me tell you, our battalion commander is too coward. Why doesn't he dare to slap the table with the regimental commander?
If our battalion wraps up this area, how can there be such nonsense? He is so scared. When he went to Jixia Academy, the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander were still marching forward!"
"That's right, he's just a coward. If he can't get back the main attack mission, he can't get back the main attack mission. As a result, we men can only drink water every time!"
"By the way, Niu Big Head, can we also say something to you? Last time, I said that our men strangled the little emperor to death with our own hands. Now you said that he drowned in the urine bucket, but don't get it wrong.
It’s over!”
"We are both good at rhetoric. We have 70,000 to 80,000 brothers in four divisions. Do you know what they say?"
"That's right... Mr. Liu, you are so pissy!"
"There's nothing wrong with you, Mr. Liu is peeing!"
"Sixth Master is peeing!"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar listened to the cooing sounds in his study with a dazed look on his face, as if he was mentally retarded, repeating over and over again: "A war brings disaster to a tiger, a war brings a disaster to a tiger..."
That night.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar picked up the carving knife with grief and anger, and blatantly robbed the historian of his work. He wrote: "In the second year of King Wang's reign, on July 25th, Han general Li Xin led an army of 30,000 to attack Luoyi. There was Niu Jiao, the Han military commander."
, led Zhang Meng, Zhang San, Wang Er and others to help Han King Chen Sheng burn the Spring and Autumn Palace, and broke into the palace at night. Wang Er arrested the young emperor, Zhang Meng looked for a drowning bucket, Zhang San hugged the emperor's feet, and the horns helped the Han king drown the young emperor.
Bucket, the young emperor collapsed...'
'Don't you just want to be infamy for eternity?'
'The Lord will satisfy you!'
'Let you know how powerful we scholars are!'
'Here comes the carving knife...'
…
Such a picture is not that of a family of middle-aged Confucian scholars.
There were bamboo slips in every home in Luoyi City, or there were scholars dressed as scribes with high crowns, and they all received "prompts" either overtly or covertly, with courtesy, or with physical persuasion from the looting red-coated soldiers!
That night, countless scholars, either with bruises or faces, or living in poverty, picked up their knives like the middle-aged Confucian scholar, blatantly stole the historian's job, and wrote down the whole story of the Red Army's attack on Luoyi, leaving behind a legacy in the vast history books.
He has given countless names such as "Niujiao, Zhang Meng, Zhang San, Wang Er" that should have faded into obscurity at the end of autumn!
Inadvertently, two eternal mysteries were created!
First, who conquered Luoyi?
Countless bamboo slips unearthed from this period clearly record that Li Xin led the army to conquer Luoyi, and Li Xin's subsequent official promotion also proves this. However, the name of Han Wang Chen Sheng appears frequently.
On the day Li Xin captured Luoyi.
According to the management of the Venerable's first achievement, if Li Xin conquered Luoyi, King Chen Sheng of Han was in the army, then the victory of conquering Luoyi should not fall on Li Xin no matter what!
Moreover, during the same period, there are other historical data that can prove that when the Han general Li Xin conquered Luoyi, the Han king Chen Shengzheng led another main force of the Han army to fight against the Zhou general Wang Jian in Guancheng...
