Mysterious Tribulation

After two days.

Although Hemen County resisted very resolutely, the city still fell.

The county magistrate set fire to himself in the county government office, and there was no one left alive.

County government.

Among the pitch-black charcoal ruins, there are still green smoke curling up.

Tang Xun was drenched in blood, watched corpses being carried out from the county office, and sighed, Why bother?

It's just a stubborn resistance. Such foolish and loyal people have been indispensable in all dynasties...

Aaron sneered and asked, How is our battle damage?

Reporting to the Prime Minister, we have killed 800 enemies and lost more than 2,000 ourselves...

Not bad, not bad. With an average exchange ratio of 1 to 5 for defending the city, this is really a good fight. Aaron couldn't help but be quite satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the Six Armored Divine Soldiers.

Tang Xun, on the other hand, sucked in a breath of cold air: Just a small county town, let the army lose 20%?

Thousands of people attacked the city, and two thousand people were killed or injured, which is already very serious.

If it weren't for the saying that the Liujia soldiers had no morale, maybe even deserters would appear at this time!

Prime Minister, we must not go on like this.

Tang Xun said awe-inspiringly: Shuanghua Prefecture has five counties, and Xuzhou has six Prefectures. This is more than 30 counties. If we continue to fight like this, our 50,000 people will be wiped out!

Yeah! You can't fight like this...

Aaron yawned, looking a little bored, and waved Xiaoyu back who was digging a hole next to him.

So... the massacre of the city should be ordered!

Slaughter... Slaughter the city?

In the land of Xuzhou, the influence of famous religion is deeply rooted, and it can even incite the people to rebel and fight against us...It is very difficult to calm down.

Aaron sighed: The massacre of the city now can scare the people... and the big landlords are nothing without the people of the vassals. Afterwards, it will be easier to destroy the city. This is actually a bit of my kindness.

Although the reputation of massacring cities is very bad, the effect at the beginning was really good. Not to mention Man Qing, even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, had done a lot of massacring cities.

The expression on Tang Xun's face couldn't hold back anymore.

So the massacre is kindness?

According to my original idea... it is to incite the three religions to continue to fight against me crazily, to attract more opponents to join the confrontation, and then slaughter cities one by one... After this, Xuzhou will be wiped clean.

Aaron sighed, with pity in his eyes: But if the city is massacred now, the city will fall in the wind, and it will be a little bit unclean... It will be more difficult to govern in the future... This is easy before difficult and difficult first. Easy difference.

This...can kill all? Tang Xun was dumbfounded.

As long as you are willing to pick up the butcher's knife, and you are not afraid of being notorious, how can you not kill everyone?

Aaron smiled: After killing them all, refugees from other states will be relocated and distributed directly to fields, houses, tools, and grain... Liang Jun will immediately become a Buddha of thousands of families!

While discussing, there was a loud eagle cry in the sky.

A falcon landed with letter paper tied to its leg.

Aaron saw it, and a sneer immediately appeared on his face: The rebellion of the three southern provinces... It seems that there are three religions instigating behind the scenes... You guys are going to play a big game with me. If this is the case, then pass the order and don't massacre the city. Already!

Tang Xun shivered, knowing that the prime minister had chosen the path of difficulty first and then ease.

Instead, the county officials, big households, wealthy businessmen, landlords... all of them will be pitted! There are also temples and Taoist temples that have helped defend the city... Immediately destroy the gates, and kill everyone, regardless of gender, age or age! Aaron sneered .

Is the prime minister not going to withdraw his troops? Tang Xun asked.

Naturally, if we don't withdraw, the 50,000 troops in the south are enough to suppress everything. If it's not enough to keep the gold and stones, it will be enough... This prime minister will wipe out Xuzhou within this year!

Aaron waved his hand.

Accompanied by his order, countless Liujia soldiers rushed into the slightly more eye-catching mansions in the county town, and dragged out the owners one by one.

Even temples and Taoist temples were unlucky.

Help!

No, spare me!

Tang Xun passed by a rich family and saw an old man being dragged out. The gold beads he was about to bribe were scattered all over the ground, but it was useless. Liujia Shenbing was not moved at all.

In addition, in this kind of mansion, there are many singers, dancers, and even ladies of officials, who are all stunning...but they don't even look at them.

The military discipline of the Six Armies Divine Army is too good...

Tang Xun thought that the prime minister likes to use retired soldiers as yamen servants and inspectors, and these people are often completely different from the previous small officials. Not only are they very clean and self-sufficient, but they also like to report their colleagues for taking bribes, so they are deeply hated by the subordinates, who say they are dead Brains, iron-clad heads.

But the prime minister liked it very much, and planned to use them as the main force to set up an anti-corruption department, which would be responsible for prosecuting and dealing with corrupt and bribery officials.

It's really rare to have such rules in such a grandiose way...

Tang Xun knew that such a one-size-fits-all approach would inevitably lead to accidental injury, but so what?

Under the sweeping dragon energy, no matter how many lonely ghosts there are, they can only be reduced to dust!

It's just that, the three religions will definitely counterattack crazily, and the next cities will be more difficult to fight than the other...

Tang Xun felt a toothache when he thought of the siege battle in the future.

Although many people were killed, the city was not massacred after all. This deterrence is not enough, and it is really not qualified to make those people fear.

At the end of the development, if it is not done well, it will become that the people are not afraid of death, but why are they afraid of death.

'Kill all...'

At this time, the prime minister's previous words seemed to echo in his ears again, causing Tang Xun to tremble coldly.

...

The first year of Kaiping.

October.

Daqu Mansion.

This is also the last mansion in Xuzhou.

In the past year, Xuzhou has been fighting continuously, and the prefectures and counties have vowed not to surrender. Liang Jun is like a fool who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, gnawing hard one after another.

The casualties in every siege battle are extremely tragic, and there must be street fighting after the city is broken.

Up to now, Liang Jun's reputation in Xuzhou is no different from that of evil spirits.

But Tang Xun felt a subtle change.

That is, people are not machines after all, and their will cannot explode infinitely.

After a certain threshold was passed, the next city became easy to fight again.

Of course, the most important thing is that the prime minister has continued to supplement. The 40,000 army has now become 80,000!

The 80,000 troops besieged the city of Daqufu, and one could faintly see the noise and fear of the soldiers above...

After all, Liang Jun broke down when he encountered a city, and his casualties were extremely miserable. He was especially famous for killing big and powerful families the most.

On the contrary, the people with almost no property and fields have come to think of it, and even secretly expect Liang Jun to break through the city. After all, they have nothing to lose. , is too fragile...

Changjin Temple was burned down by Lianshan, and monk Xuxin died in battle... Layman Plum Blossom escaped...

On the city wall, Zhang Haoran, who was already at the end of his life, looked at the army below, and couldn't help crying: Why is it that martial arts are always rampant in this world, but why can't there be a wise master?
