"One two three, one two, three, get up!"
Xu Zongwen, Zhang San and Zhang Si led the soldiers to shout slogans and opened the south gate of Yongqiu City, dredging the water in the city and reducing the water level.
After the nearby Jin army repelled the Qin army that cleared the city, they all followed Xu Zongwen to clear the exits of the city, release the water in Yongqiu City, and treat the trapped people.
Liu Laozhi led two thousand Beifu soldiers to clear out the Qin army guarding the upper reaches of Suishui River. Xie Yan took the opportunity to send people to repair the dam.
Countless chariots, horses and loess were thrown into the Suishui River. Xie Yan ordered the Qin army's siege equipment to be dammed to fill the gap dug by the Qin army. The water situation has been properly controlled and the water volume has been reduced a lot. Yongqiu The water level near the city did not rise any more.
In addition, after Xu Zongwen and Huan Yi eliminated the remaining enemies in Yongqiu City, tens of thousands of defeated Qin troops fled in the direction of Waihuang. Jin troops were rescuing people inside and outside the city.
Under the large and small bamboo rafts were the corpses of Qin soldiers, and above were the Jin troops and the rescued people of Yongqiu City. The floating corpses had begun to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye under Tian Luo's cleaning.
"Okay, the four city gates have been opened, and the water level has dropped two feet. You all go to save people first!" Xu Zongwen dispersed the people, and he and dozens of his own soldiers joined the team to rescue the people.
Let that woman go! What are you doing? "
When Xu Zongwen led people to inspect Yongqiu City, looking at the suffering people and struggling on the line of life and death, Xu Zongwen's heart was as sharp as a knife. As a former soldier of the people, he could no longer tolerate such a miserable situation!
He ordered the accompanying soldiers to rescue the trapped people and move everyone out of the city as soon as possible. Xu Zongwen, who was already feeling extremely guilty about being flooded by the Qin army in Yongqiu, encountered an unsightly thing on the way. Once again, the anger in his heart was completely ignited!
A group of naked strong men gathered around a good-looking woman with fair skin in the corner of a dilapidated house that was washed away by the flood. Jin army armor and torn women's dresses were scattered around.
After careful questioning, Xu Zongwen learned that these people were all soldiers from Beifu. Because they defended Yongqiu City, they had been affected by nervousness for a long time, and they were somewhat abnormal in their hearts. When the Qin army entered Yongqiucheng in counterattack, he met two young and lovely people. The virtuous young woman couldn't bear it anymore and raped two women, committing a scandal and discrediting the Beifu soldiers.
When he captured Pengcheng last year, Xu Zongwen encountered a case of the Jin army raping civilian women. At that time, Xu Zongwen used his military power to chop up those things that were inferior to animals and feed them to the dogs. Unexpectedly, the scene at that time was reproduced in Yongqiu.
"Catch them all and bring them to General Huan," Xu Zongwen waved his hand, and a group of soldiers immediately stepped forward and tied up the dozen Beifu soldiers who raped the civilian girls.
"Thank you, general, thank you so much, general..." The two naked women knelt on the ground and thanked Xu Zongwen. Xu Zongwen quickly asked someone to pick up a few uniforms of Beifu soldiers and throw them over.
"Let's just deal with it first!" Xu Zongwen turned away his eyes and cast a cold gaze on the rapists, "As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, let alone killing a dog? Since you are General Huan's people, Then let you see your master one last time."
"General, spare your life! I was confused for a moment and committed a serious crime. Please forgive us, General, because we have defended the city for a long time and have no credit but hard work!"
The Beifu soldiers who raped two civilian girls knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. They recognized Xu Zongwen as soon as he appeared. If it hadn't been for Xu Zongwen, Huan Yi's breakout Jin army would have been surrounded or even wiped out by the Qin army's pursuit.
They were lucky enough to have met Xu Zongwen once when they were next to Huan Yi, so they recognized Xu Zongwen.
"Okay, general, these beasts, Yongqiu City has suffered a disaster, and the people have lost their homes. These beasts took advantage of people's danger and committed these scandalous things. They are simply crazy. They should all be beheaded to bring justice." Audio-visual!" Zhang San has been with Xu Zongwen for a long time and dares to speak more than Zhang Si and Xu Wen.
Xu Zongwen naturally knew that everyone had the same idea. He also wanted to kill these scum who violated military discipline and sacrifice the flag, so that he could go to Suiyang City to meet with Yanzhou Governor Zhang Chong.
However, Huan Yi and Xie Yan were both high-ranking officials in the Beifu Army. This was not in Xuzhou, so he could not deal with them easily. Moreover, killing these beasts in a corner would not serve as a warning to the monkeys.
If you want to kill these people, you have to deal with them in front of all the Jin troops, so as to shock people!
Xu Zongwen shook his head, "Take him away first. Killing people is not in a hurry. Saving people is the first priority right now."
"No!" Zhang San, Zhang Si, and Xu Wen bowed respectfully and hurried to save people.
After everyone left, Xu Zongwen took out an orb from his pocket and handed it to the two women who had been violated: "I, Xu Xiao, was born in Beifu. Since it was Beifu soldiers who killed you, it can be regarded as my Xu Xiao's fault. This is terrible. The beads should be worth a lot of money. We can’t keep them in Yongqiu City. Go to Xiangyi! Buy a house and find two honest people to take over it. Let’s take care of ourselves in the next life!”
In these troubled times, let alone women, even men don’t know how long they can live!
Men will be captured and sent to the battlefield. Life or death is determined by fate. It is unclear whether they can come back alive after being ordered to do hard labor by the government.
Women are inherently less powerful than men. The powerful, the wealthy, the thieves on the mountain, and the robbers on the road, who do not regard women as items that can be bought, sold and exchanged at will?
Xu Zongwen already had Nie Zhen'er in the camp, and after the news spread, he left him in Linzi.
It's not that he dislikes people losing their innocence, but that the military regulations are strict, and his status in the military is getting higher and higher, so he can no longer give others control.
These two women also have a hard life. If they encounter this incident, they will definitely have a lot of grudges in their hearts in the future. Xu Zongwen doesn't know if giving them a jewel is the best choice, but it is within the scope of his power to give them The best arrangement with these two women.
"You can rest assured that those beasts who harmed your innocence will be killed soon. This is my guarantee to you!"
"Thank you, General!" The two women prostrated themselves on the ground. Xu Zongwen was too embarrassed to step forward to help them up, and just held them up from a distance with his hands.
Xu Zongwen patiently asked: "Okay, put on this armor and wear men's clothes. It will be safer on the way to Xiangyi."
After leaving Yongqiu City, Xu Zongwen escorted the Beifu soldiers who had committed the crime to Huan Yi. Xu Zongwen explained the cause and effect. Before Xu Zongwen could say anything else, Huan Yi ordered the Beifu soldiers and military judges to arrest more than a dozen of those who raped civilian women in public. Beifu soldiers beheaded him in public!
Huan Yi refreshed Xu Zongwen's view of the generals of the Beifu soldiers, but after he thought about it carefully, Huan Yi was not actually a member of the Beifu soldiers. He was from the Xifu soldiers. If it weren't for the Northern Expedition, he would have nothing to do with the Beifu soldiers.
