111 Take the lead
In this fight, South Vietnam and the Western Song Dynasty took the lead. First of all, the reinforcements sent by the king of South Vietnam arrived and strengthened the troops again. Secondly, Xue Xijian made a plan to burn the other party's grain and fodder, making the Northern Qi army in trouble because of the lack of food and fodder. Another point is that the newly replaced general of the Northern Qi is actually not the same level as Du Feiqing. On the one hand, he has no plan, and on the other hand, he lacks a march to fight. The experience.
After several battles, the army of the Northern Qi Dynasty retreated one after another. The soldiers and horses of Southern Vietnam and the Western Song Dynasty bypassed Qilian Mountain, forced into the border of Northern Qi, and captured a state and occupied the city.
Murong Xueyan can't influence Xue Xijian's decision, and it is impossible for her to get rid of it, let alone Zhao Chen's behavior and thoughts. Seeing that Zhao Chen occupied the city, she ordered to rob all the rich people's gold and silver treasures in the city. Some of the scum and fish people among the soldiers in South Vietnam, and even treacherous, ** women, made her very angry. Her opinion on robbing the rich is not big, because nine out of ten rich people in this era are rich and bullying the people. Their money itself is an unjust wealth, and it's nothing to rob them. However, what she despises most in her life is the man who bullies women, but she is angry that Zhao Chen's hands are full of such scum!
When Murong Xueyan and Xue Xijian changed their casual clothes and wandered around the city, they encountered several incidents such as soldiers trying to rob good women or girls and even underage little girls. When they could see and do what they could, they helped those who could help and sent those evil soldiers to Zhao Chen. However, she also knows that the same thing may have happened where they can't take care of... Every day, humiliated women die in the city, and the number of bodies on mass graves has increased in vain.
"Your Majesty, if the South Vietnamese soldiers go on like this, this city will become a dead city!" Murong Xueyan said anxiously.
In only three days, the city has become like this. God knows that at this time, she hopes that she has a good martial art like Duran Ruo, can fly around the eaves, fight against the unevenness, and clean up these arbitrary ** women's scum!
"I have persuaded the king of South Vietnam several times, and he also promised to take good care of his generals. But..." Xue Xijian sighed helplessly.
Have those people in the "barbarian land" always been more ferocious than the people of the Central Plains? Murong Xueyan looked around, but saw that the city was starving everywhere, and even some women who had been humiliated were stabbed to death on the ground in their clothes...
Murong Xueyan continued to walk in the city with Xue Xijian, saying that it was walking, but in fact, it was a patrol to see if there was anyone they could help.
In the alley next to the road they were walking, several South Vietnamese soldiers were dragging a young woman.
"Master, my husband has been killed by you the day before yesterday. Please do well, and I still want to take care of the children..." The woman pleaded repeatedly.
"Less chattering, the military master has a fancy to you, and he praises you. You take good care of the military, don't worry about the rest!" A tall and thin soldier said rudely.
"Master Jun, my daughter is only a few years old, and she can't live without her mother..." The woman still begged, looking reluctantly at her daughter who had been scared to hide outside the door and crying.
"I like you. Who cares about your daughter?"
Several soldiers couldn't help dragging her away.
"I... I fought with you!" The woman said angrily and bit her fiercely on the hand of a soldier who pulled her.
"Ah! You woman, how dare you bite me!" A soldier tore open her skirt, and the big red belly pocket inside the coat was exposed to everyone's sight.
"Take it off again! Take it off again!" Several other soldiers coaxed.
Seeing that she was no longer lucky, the woman suddenly grabbed the long gun from the hand of a soldier beside her. Everyone only said that she wanted to attack and took out her own weapons for defense. Unexpectedly, she returned the gun and stabbed her chest.
The long gun pierced the flesh, and the blood splashed the faces of the soldiers standing closest to each other.
"Mother! Mother!" The little girl hiding behind the door ran desperately to her mother's body and bent down and cried.
The two people said "disappointing" and raised their guns and stabbed the child in the back...
" Stop it!" Murong Xueyan and Xue Xijian came too late after all, and the child had been poisoned.
"Beast!" The scene in front of him made Xue Xijian furious. He recalled the scene when his wife and children were killed by the Shangguan Mo family. The person in front of him seemed to have become the hateful Shangguan family. He jumped on his feet, pulled out his sword, and killed it desperately.
The cold light suddenly rose, and the sword spirit was scattered. Xue Xijian was shrouded in a rain of blood, which was indescribably terrible.
When the long sword was returned to its sheath, all six soldiers who had just participated were killed.
"Your Majesty..." Murong Xueyan was shocked.
At the corner of the street, several other soldiers from South Vietnam saw the scene just now. If the matter spreads to Zhao Chen, I'm afraid it will be another disturbance.
"These people are really hateful!" Xue Xijian calmed down.
Murong Xueyan also hates these people very much and thinks that these people should be severely punished. However, Xue Xijian executed these people without passing through Zhao Chen. He thought that Zhao Chen's temper would never give up.

When Xue Xijian and Murong Xueyan returned to the camp at noon, they saw Zhao Chen sitting there waiting for them, but their faces were not obvious, and the atmosphere looked very strange.
Xue Xijian and Murong Xueyan had discussed in advance. If Zhao Chen did not take the initiative to mention it, they would not know.
On this day, there was another banquet for lunch, and Xue Xijian and Murong Xueyan sat down. Xue Xijian formally greeted Zhao Chen and went to ask Qin Huan about the military situation of the Northern Qi army, and his face was calm.
"King Song, I have something to ask you." After all, Zhao Chen couldn't sit still.
Xue Xijian and Murong Xueyan looked at each other and knew what he was talking about.
"King Yue, please speak." Xue Xijian smiled politely, and his face did not change.
"I heard the report from my soldiers that King Song killed six of my soldiers on the street today." Zhao Chen's thick eyebrows were entangled in one place, and the fierce light appeared in his eyes. "I really want to hear it. What is the explanation of the King of Song?"
This person really looks like a righteous word! Murong Xueyan felt disgusted. If it were her, she would not even pay attention to this person.
"The king of Yue wants me to tell him, and I will tell him the truth. When I was the prince of the Western Song Dynasty, my wife and children were killed by thieves, and the whole family had no life except me. I hate rape and plunder the most, and this morning I saw that the six soldiers were bullying a woman, and I didn't even let go of the woman's daughter who was less than three years old!" Xue Xijian said, and he couldn't help but be a little moved. He asked generously, "Everyone, who has no parents and who has no wife and children?" This city is already in our military bag, so why do you need to insult it so much?
Zhao Chen couldn't answer this statement, and the generals of South Vietnam were speechless. Zhao Chen was about to say a few words to make things clear, but Xue Xijian opened his mouth again.
"King of Yue, I think that the battle between the two armies and the number of soldiers and horses is a prerequisite, but the heart of the army and the heart of the people are equally important. The king of Yue allowed his soldiers to do wrong like this, which not only disturbed the heart of the army, but also disturbed the hearts of the people!"
"What King Song said is reasonable. I'm going to control my soldiers." Zhao Chen was so guilty that he had to reluctantly blame him.
"It's very easy to control the soldiers. Just show the bodies of the six people who were cut by my hand yesterday on the street, and order the people and soldiers to look at them together. It is strictly forbidden for the officers and soldiers to disturb the people again. If there is any violation, his crime should be killed!" Xue Xijian said, " Since everyone is here now, it's okay to eat later, just do what I said!"
"King of Song..." Zhao Chen's face was very ugly.
Xue Xijian turned a blind eye and went out to take the horn used to gather soldiers and sounded the horn.
s
In a short time, almost all the soldiers arrived. Xue Xijian was too lazy to ask Zhao Chen and directly ordered the soldiers to stand in line on the largest street in the city.
There were so many soldiers on the street in vain, and the people were so scared that they closed the doors and avoided them.
When Xue Xijian saw that the people had arrived, he ordered Qin Huan to inform the people, and then moved the bodies of the six people to show them on the street.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, since our army entered the city, many soldiers have harassed the people because the military discipline is unknown. I would like to thank you for your apologies! These six people bullied women and Confucianism in the south of the city yesterday, and I was right on the ground. I promised everyone that if this happened again, no matter who did it, just like these six people, on the ground, the law!"
In this speech, the words are sonorous, and there is a sound on the ground, and everyone is convinced. Xue Xijian took another long arrow, broke it with his strength in front of everyone, and shouted, "If there is a violation, it should be such an arrow!"
Murong Xueyan stood aside and looked at it, and also admired Xue Xijian's impulsiveness.
After lunch, Xue Xijian ordered his soldiers to step up patrols and strictly prohibit them from disturbing the people. Looking at what the South Vietnamese soldiers did, he was also much more afraid.
On the wall, Xue Xijian looked far away, and Murong Xueyan stood beside him.
"Your Majesty, did the king of South Vietnam say when to leave?"
"What he means is that he is still resting at present," Xue Xijian's eyes were anxious, "I'm worried... Beiqi will change the general again this time."
Change the general again? So, is it possible for him to be arranged to go on an expedition? In the past, she never thought that there might be a day of reunion with Nangong Yi, but if they want to meet again on the battlefield in this way--
It's better not to see each other again.
This night, Murong Xueyan had a dream. She dreamed of Nangong Yi. His appearance is as cold as in those years, and his martial arts skills are as superb as those years. On the battlefield, he is single-handed and brave...
"Nangong Yi!" She suddenly woke up and was soaked in cold sweat.
What's the matter? Are you still worried about him? Hasn't he had nothing to do with her for a long time?
The night was cold and the sky was not clear, but Murong Xueyan could no longer sleep.
