Dezu led the remaining less than 5,000 remnant troops and retreated to Langzhou, preparing to defend the city and wait for Gewa to send troops to rescue them. However, what greeted them was an endless rain of arrows.

The flag of the Jin Dynasty was fluttering in the wind. De Zui was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood. He could only lead his troops to retreat towards Shanzhou.

Li Xun left Zhao Wei and Yu Yanhui to clean the battlefield and make statistics of the battle, and then led the remaining four thousand main cavalry to kill Langzhou City.

Everyone knows that taking advantage of your illness can kill you.

I originally thought that there would be another fierce fight, but when I arrived at the foot of Langzhou City, I saw at a glance that the four thousand cavalry sent by Yuanhe to chase Dezu and others were waiting outside the city.

Li Xun arrived, the city gate opened, and hundreds of cavalry rushed out. The leading officer came near, got off his horse, knelt down and clasped his fists, and said loudly: "The last general Hu Xian, please see the Commander-in-Chief."

Li Xun was a little dazed, Hu Xian? In the eleven prefectures of Longyou, Li Xun may not have seen all the officers above Zhonglang general and civil servants above Sima, but they all knew their names. Hu Xian

The name is extremely unfamiliar.

"How is this going?"

Li Xun got off his horse, helped Hu Xian up, and asked in a deep voice.

"Jie Shuai, this is what happened."

Hu Xian did not hide anything and explained the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, Li Xun was in a daze again. After a long time, he sighed and patted Hu Xian on the shoulder: "A hero comes from a young age. You have done an amazing thing!"

"It's so handsome."

Hu Xian said politely and looked at Li Xun with an indescribably weird look. A hero comes from a young age? It seems that I am that much older than you, right? Compared with you, I am really a late bloomer.

.

At the same time, Hu Xian was also very curious about Li Xun. Li Xun's name may not be a big deal in the whole world, but in the city of Fengjing, it is very famous. Of course, this fame is more of an infamy.

, Three people become tigers, Hu Xian's impression of Li Xun, at first he thought that this person was ridiculed and insulted by so many people, even if it was a bit exaggerated, it was not much different, but when he saw it today, Li Xun's image,

But it was beyond Hu Xian's expectation. He looked calm and composed. A life-and-death battle had just ended, but he still seemed calm and calm. What's more, in this difficult situation, Li Xun did not flinch, but faced it.

It is a sharp contrast to Zhao Feidu, who has always put his family background and achievements in his mouth.

Seeing the strange look on Hu Xian's face, Li Xun guessed something, smiled, and said softly: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in the city."

"Commander please."

Hu Xian turned sideways to greet him, his attitude was respectful, but neither condescending nor overbearing.

Walking under the city gate, Li Xun looked up and saw hundreds of human heads hanging high on the top of the city. The one in the middle was still there with his eyes open.

"Xue Wang?"

Li Xun was surprised.

Hu Xian said silently: "It was Xue Wang, the governor of Langzhou. Zhao Feidu abandoned the city and fled. Mr. Xue did not leave, but stayed to direct the people to evacuate, and was eventually captured by Tubo."

Li Xun closed his eyes, this is a good official.

This was the second time Li Xun saw Xue Wang, and it was also the last time. He didn't expect that it would be in this way.

Xue Wang was the imperial examination champion in the 15th year of Guangyuan, which was the year when the White Turban Rebellion was at its worst and Li Xun fled to Fengjing and met his aunt Li Yi.

That year, Xue Wang was the top scholar in high school and paraded through the streets to receive congratulations from the people in the capital. Li Xun joined in the fun and went there. From a distance, he saw Xue Wang for the first time. At that time, Xue Wang was so full of vitality.

Brilliant.

Ten years have passed.

I remember that at the beginning of the year, when the world situation was relatively stable, Zhao Xun once intended to win over Xue Wang with his high position as the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, but was ultimately rejected. I still remember that when he and Zhao Xun were drinking, Zhao Xun mentioned Xue Wang very much.

He sighed and said, Xue Wang has no great ambitions, but he is a blessing to the people of this place.

Faced with Zhao Xun's attempts to win over him, Xue Wang acted extremely coldly. He was born into a poor family, and being able to become an official at the provincial level in this life has been his blessing for several generations. It was also his biggest dream and ambition. He just wanted to stay away from political battles.

, to serve as a parent and official for one party and to benefit the people of one party, nothing more.

"Find Xue Wang's body and give him a good burial."

Li Xun opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Hu Xian nodded and said nothing.

Walking into the city, there were many soldiers standing on both sides, all of them were Hu Xian's subordinates. Apart from that, the entire city was filled with no joy and celebration of being recaptured, but a deathly silence.

Beyond the ranks of soldiers, a strong smell of blood came. Li Xun turned his head and looked, his stomach suddenly turned, and his eyes closed again.

In a small square not far to the left, tens of thousands of people's heads accumulated together, forming a terrifying sight in Beijing.

Hu Xian sighed in a low voice: "There were more than 37,000 people in the city, but only a thousand people escaped from the city under the cover and command of Governor Xue. The remaining people, 5,000 women and 2,000 mature men, were robbed and left."

Go, the last nearly 30,000 people were all massacred."

Li Xun opened his eyes, frowned and said: "There were many wars between Tubo and the Jin Dynasty. Many of them were attacking cities and plundering and massacring them, but they were all relative. They would not go too far and massacre all the people in the city. Tubo

Never done it before.”

"It's the Qiubai tribe."

Although Hu Xian's voice was low, he could not conceal his anger: "The Qiubai tribe is a very powerful tribe on the northwest border of Tubo. The tribesmen are brave and good at fighting, but they are also cruel and ruthless. They regard the number of their heads as their military merit. Except for young women and a small number of

Except for the males, no prisoners should be taken, but all will be slaughtered.”

After hearing this, Li Xun remained silent, as if he was thinking about something and hesitating about some kind of decision.

At this time, Shanqiu finished inventorying the battlefield and entered the city. When he saw the huge Jingguan in the distance, a strong look of anger suddenly appeared on his face.

Li Xun looked at Shan Qiu and asked quietly: "How is the situation?"

Shan Qiu said: "Three thousand dead, two thousand injured."

Li Xun breathed out. The 10,000 Tubo infantry who came later had very weak combat effectiveness. When Yuan He led the army, he almost annihilated them all with little loss. However, the 10,000 cavalry of the Qiu Bai tribe were...

The fighting power is extremely strong. When faced with enemies several times his own, the number of casualties was equal, and the fight was a draw. In the end, he was able to calmly break out of the encirclement and was unstoppable.

"How many prisoners do the Qiubai tribe have?"

"A little over two thousand."

Li Xun said in a deep voice: "Inform the entire army that from now on, we will not accept surrender or prisoners from the Qiubai tribe."

Hu Xian looked at Li Xun in shock, while Shan Qiu said in a daze: "What about the Qiu Bai soldiers captured this time?"

Li Xun said coldly: "I said that I will not accept the surrender or capture of the Qiubai tribe."

"But"

The Jin Dynasty has always claimed to be a sovereign state. Things like killing prisoners and slaughtering cities are against moral principles and will never be allowed. Of course, things are all relative. Killing dozens or even hundreds is not a big problem, but

, this is more than 2,000 people. Once they are all killed and the news is spread back to Fengjing, Li Xun will probably be impeached by many ministers.

"cut!"

Li Xun's face was hard and unquestionable. He interrupted all Shan Qiu's words with the word "Zhan".
