The next morning, we discussed the matter again. This time, the result was soon. In order to facilitate the withdrawal of troops in the future, Lei Ren ordered the local army to transfer the elderly and young people to Qingyuan County. The army made the illusion of a feint attack on Taiyuan Prefecture, confronted the officers and soldiers, and won time for the family to withdraw to Qingyuan.

Even so, there is not much time left for Wang Jiayin and others.

Because in a day, the border troops of Datong Prefecture and Xuanfu will be assembled, and the officers and soldiers will definitely launch a counterattack. With their own combat power, it is really difficult to block the counterattack of the border troops.

Wang Jiayin and Wu Yangui ordered all troops to prepare and make a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers near Taiyuan Prefecture. At this time, Hou Shilu and Man Gui also officially joined forces.

Man Gui looked at the map on the table and said roughly: "At present, the news has been received, the rebels have launched a new round of attacks on Taiyuan Prefecture, and the offensive is very strong."

Hou Shilu pinched his chin and thought for a while, then turned around and asked, "What's the movement in the direction of Qingyuan and Wenshui?"

"There is no news yet. Lao Hou, do you have any other ideas?"

"Well, General Man, do you think the rebels dare to think about Taiyuan Prefecture after we defeated Gao Yingxiang's troops? What can we do if they successfully take down Taiyuan City? At that time, our army besieged the city everywhere, and they can only trap the lonely city."

"So, I see that these bandits want to flee with a fake shot!"

Man Gui couldn't help but smile, rolled his eyes and said, "Escape? Lao Hou, it's not that I look down on those people. They are all young and old. Even if they are asked to escape for two days, we can catch up with them. Escape, hey, I'm still afraid that they won't run away!"

It’s not that Man Gui is too arrogant, but that’s the truth.

If the bandits escape, they will inevitably be chased by the officers and soldiers. But if they don’t escape, it’s unreasonable. Hou Shilu still insists on his judgment, but he can’t figure out what the bandits will do.

.....

Because he did not know the next plan of the bandits, Man Gui and Hou Shilu did not discuss any results, so he could only follow the scheduled plan and slowly advance to the south of Taiyuan Prefecture.

Tie Mo, who was idle, was lying under a big willow tree to cool off, chatting about the situation in Taiyuan Prefecture all at once.

"Old Li, today we are discussing the matter, do you have any ideas?"

Li Jiasheng turned his head, dug his ears, and said disapprovingly: "What do you think? No matter what, you still have to fight. What, what are your opinions on Brother Yunlong?"

Heiyunlong flipped his eyelids and said distressedly: "Of course I know I'm going to hit me. What I asked is how to hit me. Well, it's useless to ask you. Hello, Brother Tie, tell me what you think."

Tie Mo scratched his belly and smiled, "I don't have any idea, but General Hou is right. These thieves obviously want to run away. I'm just surprised that they know that they can't escape quickly, so why do they still do this?"

"But, these seem to have nothing to do with us. As long as we go south with cavalry and camp in Taigu County, we will hold the throat of the bandits going south, it will be enough for the bandits to drink a pot!"

Now Li Jiasheng became interested and turned over and said anxiously: "Brother, what do you mean is that you will have something to do soon?"

"I'm sure I'll be in a position to go down soon."

Sure enough, not long after the three of them finished chatting, Hou Shilu personally issued a general order. He ordered Li Jiasheng's troops to rush to Taigu County as quickly as possible. At the same time, Tie Mo and Heiyunlong's troops held troops in Xugou's generation to prevent the bandits from fleeing southeast when they were defeated.

......

Qingyuan County is located in the southwest of Taiyuan City. It is a small town with a population of only 10,000.

At first, this small town was not cared about. It was nothing big or very good. Wang Jiayin's troops could not be interested in it. However, before that day, a rebel army came to Qingyuan City in a mighty manner.

Ling Man, the magistrate of Qingyuan County, led the yamen runners and the Minzhuang to fight back desperately, but the Qingyuan city wall was short and broken. In less than half an hour, the bandits attacked the city.

When the bandits entered the city, Qingyuan suddenly became a sea of ​​fire. The magistrate Ling Man was shot to death at the gate of the county government, and his family was slaughtered. Perhaps it was because of long-term depression, or perhaps because of successive defeats, the bandits burned, killed and looted after entering the city, especially those women, all suffered.

On this day, Qingyuan City became a hell, filled with the cry of women and the angry curses of the people, but they were greeted with various beastly actions and the brutal killing of the "rebels".

When evening came, Qingyuan City returned to its tranquility. Nine out of ten houses in the city were empty, almost slaughtered, and all the property was looted.

The city gates were wide open, and many men, women, young and old began to slowly enter Qingyuan City, and these people were countless family members of the army.

Lei Ren stood at the top of the city, looking at the crowd that could not be seen at the end, and a complex look crawled between his eyebrows.

He is cruel and inhumane, and never thought that one day, these qualities would become the reason for his reuse.

Night soon came. The county government office had already been occupied by the rebels. An old man was awakened by a mosquito after sleeping halfway through, and he scratched the red envelope on his legs, got up and went to the yard.

I was yawning and estimated the time. Now it is at most ugly time.

I drew some water by the well and rinsed my face, and I felt much more energetic. The old man was about to go back to take care of his grandson, but he heard a strange noise in his ears.

After turning around and patrolling, he saw a few figures slowly moving under the wall to the west. The old man immediately became alert and shouted with courage, "Who is there?"

At this time, an exclaim came from the opposite side, "No, I've been discovered, hurry up, act as planned."

The people rushed over, and under the moonlight, they finally saw their clothes clearly, black armored steel knives, and cloth boots.

The old man's eyes were straight, he turned around and ran inside, shouting loudly as he ran: "Wake up, the officers and soldiers are coming...the officers and soldiers are coming..."

The old man shouted twice, then he was chopped to the ground by a steel knife, and he disappeared in an instant.

Soon, miserable wails sounded in the county yamen, and the houses lit up, and the south wind blew, and the fire became stronger and stronger. Not long after, the wails rang throughout Qingyuan City, and the fire spread, burning the small town to pieces of rubble ashes.

Because the incident happened suddenly, many people were killed, but more people were swallowed by fire in their dreams. When they wanted to escape, they found that there were fires around them, and there were swords and guns everywhere.

A fire and a killing continued from the Chou Times to the beginning of the Mao Times. Faced with the ruthless and raging killing, more than 40,000 young and young and women had no power to resist.

At dawn, less than a thousand people fled outside the city, and the rest were buried in this sad small town.
