"General Qi, we captured an enemy detective."
"Bring me up!"
A few days after the Han army retreated, there was indeed a probing horse coming out of Zhenjiang City. Among them, the probing horse heading towards the east gate was immediately caught by the ambushed Han army soldiers and brought to Lu Yi.
As soon as Tan Ma saw Lu Yi, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "General, please spare your life, General, please spare your life."
Lu Yi waved his hand to signal everyone to leave, then walked up to him and asked, "What is your name? What is your current position in the army?"
"Reporting to the general, the villain Hou San is a scout in the army."
"Scout in the army? Where are you going when you leave the city?"
"The villain dare not deceive the general. There is insufficient food and grass in the city. I followed the general's order to go to the cities in Wusong to borrow food."
"Oh, that's how it is?"
Lu Yi paced back and forth in a serious manner for a while, and then his tone changed: "Hou San, I will give you a share of wealth, do you dare to ask for it?"
When Hou San heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "Oh, General, I'm just making a living in the army and can't accomplish anything big. General, please forgive me for the sake of my sincerity and sincerity!" "
Lu Yi smiled and helped him up: "Hey, Hou San, don't worry, I won't let you do those people's things. I just want to ask you some questions."
When Hou San heard this, he felt relieved, but he still said: "General, a villain is nothing in the army. A villain can't make up any major military affairs even if he wants to."
Lu Yi said: "Don't worry, you will definitely know about some small things. By the way, Hou San, are you a local?"
Hou San nodded: "Yes, the villain is a local Zhenjiang person."
Lu Yi: "Are all the defenders in the city locals?"
Hou San shook his head: "How is that possible? We only have a few locals who are familiar with the terrain to serve as messengers, and the rest of the officers and soldiers are recruited from other places."
Lu Yi: "Then you must know the people in the city?"
Hou San: "I don't say that I know everyone, but I know a few of the local people."
Lu Yi: "Well, let me ask you, do those people who were thrown off the city by Hai Ling have family members who are in the army?"
Hou San nodded: "That's natural, but they are not in the city and were thrown away by Hai Ling to join the army."
Lu Yi nodded: "Okay, then tell me where the sons of the common people in the city will join the army?"
Hou San immediately said: "I don't know the specific location, but most of the local officers and soldiers have been transferred to the city near Wusong. General Hai felt that they were not worthy of reuse, so he asked them to do some work of transporting baggage."
After saying that, Hou San told the addresses of the men from common people's families who joined the army one by one.
After Hou San finished speaking, Lu Yi immediately shouted: "Here comes someone!"
"Here!"
Soon two burly Han soldiers entered the account.
Hou San was startled and cried: "General, I have said everything I should say. If you are not satisfied with anything, just ask, this, this..."
Lu Yi didn't want to think about it but said: "Take him down to rest and take good care of him. Hou San, you can stay in the army for the next few days. When the war is over, I will give you a sum of money to live a good life."
"Thank you, General. Thank you, General."
"Let's go."
After Hou San left, Gan Ziba, who was hiding behind the screen, immediately stepped out and said, "Wonderful, as you expected, the soldiers in the city are not locals."
Lu Yi smiled and said: "How can a local sergeant not be in chaos when he hears that the people are suffering? This is just my subordinate's experience."
Gan Ziba: “Then what’s next.”
Lu Yi said: "We can act according to the plan and send people to send the corpse to the cities mentioned by Hou San so that the officers and soldiers in the city can identify it carefully."
…
In front of Ezhou City, a large group of officers and soldiers surrounded several corpses and kept pointing.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
At this time, a group of officers and soldiers strode through the crowd and looked at the corpse.
Suddenly, one of them quickly ran to a female corpse, knelt on the ground with a thud, grabbed the corpse's face and looked at it carefully for a while.
Then...
"No~~Mother~~Mother~~"
The soldier hugged the body and cried loudly. This scene was confusing.
Soon, several more soldiers recognized that the corpses were their own relatives, and they rushed forward one by one in disbelief.
For a moment, the cries were deafening, echoing under the sky.
"Who did this!"
"My daughter is only fourteen!!"
"What's going on? Dad was still in good health before I left, why is this happening~~"
A wailing soldier suddenly stood up and grabbed the man who brought the corpse by his clothes, and put a knife on his neck: "Tell me! How did they die? If you dare to lie to them even a word, I will send you to accompany them!"
Facing the ferocious faces, the Han officers and soldiers who delivered the corpse also had a worried look on their faces: "Brother, put down the knife, we did not kill the person."
"Then how could they do this!" the Jin Army soldier said angrily, "how did they die!"
Han Army Major: "Brother, to tell you the truth, you have also seen the military uniforms on us. We are the Han Army from the Central Plains. You should have heard of what we do. We will never hurt the common people. "
"It turns out it's Dongyi, and he still dares to come here to quibble, so I'll give him a punch!"
Before the Han army commander could finish his words, a Jin army soldier punched him in the face, causing his cheek to swell slightly.
"Lao Zhang, stop it!"
The Jin officers and soldiers next to him immediately stepped forward to grab him.
"Listen to what he says first!"
"Do you still have to ask? Dongyi killed him!"
"Calm down!"
"My mother is dead, how can you tell me to calm down! Let me go, I will kill him!"
Holding his nose, Du Hanjun Primary School heard this and stopped his companion who was about to draw the sword behind him and said: "Brother! I understand your mother's death, but take a closer look at how she died? Was she thrown alive? dead!
Zhenjiang City has not been destroyed, how can we go in and kill your mother? They were forced by Hai Ling to retreat and use your mother's life as a human shield! "
"What did you say?"
There was silence all around.
The Han army's primary school told them the reason for the incident in detail, and specifically said that the Han army had to retreat thirty miles to continue negotiating with Hai Ling for the sake of the people in the city.
After saying this, the anger in the crowd was more intense than expected, because this had completely touched their bottom line.
They had no complaints about the poor treatment they received in the military and were subjected to all kinds of bullying, but touching their families was completely inhumane.
Jin Bing, who was also from Zhenjiang, was in the crowd. Although there were no corpses of his relatives in front of him, if the Han army continued to attack the city and Hai Ling threatened the people in the city again...
no! Absolutely don't allow this to happen!
Suddenly, a person in the crowd climbed up and shouted: "Young and old men of Zhenjiang City! You have also seen that Hai Ling, this local dog, does not regard us as human beings at all!
Normally we would be fine with a little grievance, but they actually want to bury our family members with them! Can this be tolerated?
He is a man with three legs. Who knows how they bully our family when we are not in the city? They should just rebel and fight back to Zhenjiang City! "
"Fight back to Zhenjiang City!"
"Fight back to Zhenjiang City!"
"Fight back to Zhenjiang City!"
Dozens of Zhenjiang people shouted in unison.
The same scene was staged in various cities in Wusong. Soon, more than 6,000 young men from Zhenjiang or the villages and countryside near Zhenjiang came to Zhenjiang City in an aggressive manner!
