The familiar face reveals a completely unfamiliar look.
Unfamiliar, so tremble, so guilty.
There were thirty-seven surviving villagers standing in front of Li Kuo. Most of them were strong men in hardcover, while women, children, young and old died in battle with Hu Bing. Many young and beautiful women were humiliated by Hu Bing before their deaths.
, not even the last trace of dignity was preserved.
Li Kuo tugged his lips slightly but still didn't say anything. What can he say now? I comforted them that the Tang Dynasty court would send troops to Tongguan immediately to fight An Lushan to the death? If the court really had this intention, it would be better to have such strength.
Will you watch An Lushan conquer Luoyang? If the court really made up its mind, why would the regiment training from all over the country be transferred to Guanzhong to defend the court instead of going to Henan Road?
Or comfort them, will His Majesty the Emperor reduce their taxes for several years in the future to compensate?
For them, almost all their relatives around them died after this night. What’s the use of those so-called land even if they are kept? Tax exemption, haha, tax exemption! Now there are no wives and children, grandma,
Is it useless to reduce taxes?
The generals present had a little astringent throat, as if all the comfort was so powerless. Since this is the case, it is better for Mo Yan.
"General, are you from the south?" After a long silence, Lin Erlang took the lead in speaking.
"Well, we received the order from Yangzhou City, Jianghuai Road, and were about to enter Beijing to serve the king." Li Kuo nodded and responded in a deep voice.
Lin Erlang was slightly stunned and obviously was considering where Yangzhou City was. For those of them, who faced the loess and the sky, most of the year were afraid that they would deal with land and crops, so they could take a break around the Chinese New Year.
I went to the county town to buy some New Year's goods.
Yangzhou? What is Yangzhou? This place is too far away for them, distant and vague, and distant without caring about them.
"Then, general, you still have to go west?" Although Lin Erlang didn't know where Yangzhou City was hidden in the Tang Dynasty, he realized an important issue, that is, the place where this army was.
After all, an army of nearly 10,000 people cannot stay in a small village, so where will they go? If they leave the Linghe River Basin, what should they go if there are Hu soldiers who come to forcefully collect grain and rob them?
"Well, His Majesty the Emperor mobilized us to settle in Tongguan to enhance the defense strength of Gyeonggi Province." Li Kuo paused for a moment and continued: "I will be very pleased that you can resist like this."
Li Kuoshi was shocked by the resolute and tenacious bloodiness of these villagers. The Hu army had at least a thousand people. Although they were mercenaries pieced together by some mixed men, they were equipped with armor and weapons.
Faced with Hu soldiers who were several times more numerous than him, these villagers actually raised their hoes and ploughed up to resist, killing many Hu soldiers in one battle.
The Tang Dynasty had such people, which was enough to prove that their people were more martial. Your Majesty was like such subjects, and it was just around the corner to recover the lost territory!
"Oh, I'm forced to the point of death, so I have to fight! To be honest, we didn't know in advance that there was a royal army near Linghe. However, those dog-mother-raising Hu soldiers wanted to kill us as military rations, even if
After that, if the king's army comes to rescue us, we will fight with them!"
Lin Erlang clenched his fists and said word by word. His eyes were red and his voice was hoarse, but he always held his head high, which was quite admirable.
"Hey! These cowards, who dig three feet into the ground to plunder the people's wealth and paste on weekdays, enjoyed the support of the people. When they needed to stand up to resist the enemy, they turned against each other faster than anyone else!"
Pu Dahui stomped his feet heavily and cursed the officials of the prefectures and counties who ate human flesh and drink human blood. It is said that most of the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Tangzhou surrendered before fighting, while the officials of the Yuanzhou and counties were appointed by An Lushan.
The original position. These corrupt officials won the trust of the new master just by bent their knees. Of course, they were happy and comfortable. As for the lives of the people, they certainly would not take them seriously!
"Yes, if they resisted An Lushan, they would not have conquered so quickly. The southern part of Henan Road has always been the granary of my Tang Dynasty, and now it is a waste of money to rebels."
Li Sheng also sighed and said leisurely: "In this way, the rebels will have to concentrate on attacking Tongguan in the next step. Your Majesty really forced himself to a dead end."
"This general, they can't take a single grain!" Lin Erlang clenched his fists and said with red eyes: "Most of the granaries in the county prefectures have been burned, and as for the grain stored in the village, all households are buried.
Under the ground, even if you ask it to get rid of all mold, you won’t give Hu Gou a single pill!”
"In this way, these dog officials have done a good thing." Dou Qing shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
"A bad thing, this granary may be burned by these dog officials!" Wang Xiaochun waved his horse whip and said in a cold voice. These officials were eager to please the new master, so why did they take the initiative to burn the granary?
He saw that this must be something that some conscience in the yamen discovered was so hard to see!
"Don't worry about this, it's good that the rebels didn't get food. In this way, it would be difficult for them to attack Tongguan at least in a short time." Xian Yuyucheng spread his hands and analyzed: "As long as the court is left for time to deploy, An Lu
The chances of winning in the mountain will drop greatly. Once it falls into a stalemate, An Lushan, who has lost all the hearts of the people, will definitely betray his relatives and relatives."
"Hmph, I don't really win the hearts of the people when I look at the emperor!" Wang Xiaochun snorted coldly and turned his head away.
"Xiaochun, don't talk nonsense!" Li Kuo glared at Wang Xiaochun and stopped his chaotic words.
After a moment of pause, Li Kuo said to Lin Erlang: "I wonder what this village party plans for the future?"
Lin Erlang actually knelt down and kowtowed to Li Kuo repeatedly: "I would like to ask General Li to take us in. From today on, we will join the army and join General Li. Not to mention anything else, we will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and kill the Hulu.
I, Lin Erlang, will definitely be ahead of the front."
"Please take us in!"
"Please take us in!"
Seeing this, the other villagers fell to the ground like Lin Erlang, and said with a gaze.
"Hey, why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?" Li Kuo quickly waved his hand and signaled Lin Erlang and other villagers to get up.
"Now our home has been ravaged and destroyed by Hu Gou, and our wife and children have also been slaughtered by Hu Gou. Even if we stay here, we have to be slaves to Hu Gou. Who would have to go to such a day?" After a pause,
Lin Erlang continued: "Instead of watching Hu Gou show off his mighty power, we should join the army and fight Hu Gou to the death! General, look, look, our Yuzhou is a fertile land, now,
What's the point of being ruined by Hu Gou? If this continues, I'm really scared, really scared."
"I just hope General Li can accept us. We can chop wood, cook rice, and kill people. We will do whatever you ask us to do. We will never embarrass you, and we will never embarrass our Tang Dynasty army!"
He Yan's man doesn't cry, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
A line of turbid tears slashed across Lin Erlang's cracked cheeks, and the slightest dripping, melting a piece of floating snow
ps: My promise, my Tang Dynasty, please look forward to it!
