Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-One South to the Early Sun
Shi Wei said in a deep voice: "General, nearly a thousand people were captured and surrendered at night. I don't know what to do with them?"
Li Luowei pondered for a moment, the number of nearly a thousand is really too much, and there may be hidden dangers in staying in the big shopping mall.? ? ??
Fu Xiushu said coldly: "Everyone can punish these thieves. If they kill them, they will be thrown into prison. I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future."
The generals nodded again and again, as if it was normal.
Li Luo was stunned, when did the generals in the army become so indifferent to human life? Maybe it was because he was too murderous, and what he heard and saw made other generals in the army do the same.
Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have any good ideas at the moment, so he said softly: "There is no need to kill all these bandits and reduce them to soldiers. Leave more than a hundred people in jail in the city. They may be useful in the future."
"The general will obey." After receiving the order at the critical moment, although he didn't know what the use of leaving a hundred people was, he didn't ask any more questions. He ordered the soldiers under the command to surrender the bandits. It seemed that some of the most powerful people were left behind, and the rest were punished on the spot.
The chaotic vigor of the rogue bandits in the East can also calm some of the people's dissatisfaction.
"General Shi, go check out the actual situation of the rogue bandits. Can you find out any clues as to why they violated the border this time? Just do it in an easy way."
"I will finally understand." Shi Wei bowed, turned around and left the hall.
By the time Ni Qing led his troops back to the mall, it was almost dusk.
The property that was used to lure the enemy in the small mall was also brought back by Ni Qing. The fire was raging, but the gold and silver items were still intact, but the silk brocade had turned into fly ash. Less than half of the more than ten carts of property were brought back to the big mall. This time
Yan suffered a calamity, and the people's vitality was indeed damaged.
Li Luo ordered all the battalions to rest as early as possible, and after noon the next day, they would take advantage of the cooler weather to start their troops and march south to Chuyang Prefecture, making sure to intercept the remaining bandits before they went out to sea.
Now that troops are being sent to Chuyang Prefecture, everyone in Chuyang Clan is even more willing to help Mu Tianlang's army to defeat Chuyang's enemies.
Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong discussed secretly, intending to drive the Chuyang Prefecture bandits to the vicinity of Cang'er Prefecture.
Cang'er is currently within the Song family's sphere of influence. According to rumors, although it is not heavily guarded, there must be some warriors hidden in the state capital.
In this way, one can rely on the Song family's military strength. If the rogue bandits cannot take care of both, they can naturally win in one battle. The other can also test whether the Song family has any relationship with these rogue bandits.
It's just that Shen Xiangdong was born in Cang'er, so this plan was to disturb the people of Cang'er no matter what. Li Luo was afraid that Shen Xiangdong had a grudge in his heart, and if Shen Xiangdong didn't like it, he wouldn't do it.
After hearing this, Shen Xiangdong sighed slightly and responded. The Cang'er Prefecture at this moment is no longer the Cang'er Prefecture when Qianlong was in charge. The Cang'er Salt Gang has disappeared for many years. Times have changed, and if it is to quell the chaos, there is nothing to be reluctant to do.
.
Before Mu Tianlang's army left the city, Shi Jie ordered the soldiers to surrender the bandits who had already killed half of them. He originally wanted to execute them in the bustling city, but was dissuaded by Li Luo. He just killed them in prison without spreading the news to the whole city.
Shi Wei was tortured repeatedly, but this time the bandit who surrendered was very tough and would rather die than tell the truth. This was very different from the bandits that Shi Wei met when he first arrived in Dongyan, which surprised Shi Wei.
The information I got was just about the origin. As for the cause of the disaster in the two prefectures of Gandong Prefecture, whether there was any advice from others behind it, maybe I really didn't know. I just couldn't tell.
Being tortured was of no use, and since there was not much free time, the crisis was dismissed and he was thrown into prison and ignored.
The entire army was lightly armed and the soldiers were flawless. All the belongings left by the bandits when they fled were placed in the big mall for future use in Dongyan Province. The belongings obtained by Shi Wei and Helian Chengxian were also reported to Li Luo. After that, he ordered the lieutenants of the army to search again.
The army moved southward to Chuyang Prefecture at lightning speed, and the generals no longer concealed their whereabouts. They headed south along the coast with only one quick word.
It's just that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. Less than an hour after Mu Tianlang's army advanced, the detective horse reported back that the Dagan garrison that had previously fled to Huizhou moved to Chuyang Prefecture. However, the two state government offices were in chaos, waiting for the news to reach Mu Tianlang. The news in the army was already five days ago.
Li Luo was stunned for a moment when he heard the report of the scouting horse. Shen Xiangdong's face darkened and he scolded: "You ignorant villain has ruined my big job."
The hearts of all the generals sank. The Chuyang bandits were now frightened. If there was any disturbance, they would definitely flee to the sea. If the Dagan soldiers were not seen, they might be able to stay in Chuyang Prefecture for a few more days.
Mu Tianlang walked down quickly. As long as he could pass the fleeing bandits in Dongyan Prefecture, he would be sure to stop the bandits before they entered the sea. However, if there was such a big movement from the defenders of Daganzhou Prefecture, the bandits might not know about it. The news about Dongyan Province will send the boat out to sea.
Calculating the time, Mu Tianlang was already more than three days late. Li Luo, Shen Xiangdong and Helian Chengxian led the Yueqi battalion and half of the Shesheng battalion to march day and night. They took the lead and Shi Wei and the remaining generals followed. Rush to Chuyang Prefecture.
Seven days later, I went to Chuyangzhou to watch the tide crossing.
Li Luo looked at Guanchao Ferry quietly, all the generals behind him were furious, their eyes were bursting with hatred, and they were filled with hatred that could not be dissipated for a long time.
Not far away, on the shore of the ferry, there were originally many sails and masts, with boats and boats connected to each other, and thousands of sails competing. But now, except for a few broken pieces of shipwrecks floating in the sea water, rising and falling with the gentle waves, There was not a sail or an oar in sight, and it was so quiet that it seemed like it had lost its voice.
Nearby, on the rocks and in the water, there is a red color like cinnabar. If you are in the sea, you will not see it very clearly. As soon as the waves hit the rocks and the waves recede, you will see the sea water leaving a blood-red color.
Before the eye-catching red color could leave its color on the stone, another wave swept over, wet the rock, washed away the original red color, and left a trail of traces, which came back again and again.
Dozens or hundreds of seabirds were flying up and down the shore, making violent calls from time to time. On the beach, in the shallow water, and in the piles of rocks, there were countless dead bodies scattered everywhere, dyeing all the sea water into Dark red.
There are men and women, old and young, some have broken limbs, some have no heads, and they are floating in the sea. When the waves push them, these intertwined and attached corpses will move, like some bloated maggots. I want to vomit, but I can't.
Helian Chengxian's face turned pale and he screamed loudly: "It would be a shame to die for these evil thieves!"
Li Luo got off his horse and walked forward slowly. He couldn't tell whether it was the smell of sea water in the wind or the smell of blood from corpses.
The waves washed here tirelessly, and white foam piled up around the corpse.
Li Luo leaned over and sat down, turning over a corpse. There were three stab wounds on the body. The most severe stab wound was on the neck, cutting off the bones and flesh, leaving only a trace of skin barely connecting the head and body.
As soon as Li Luo moved, the connected skin and flesh lost the last trace of tenacity and broke suddenly, making a small but extremely weird sound. With the sound, the head rolled down with a muffled sound, without even a splash of water. (To be continued.) .)
