The people of Liangzhou hate and fear the Qiang people, but the Qiang people are on the strong side in terms of strength. In this case, the people can only rely on the advantage of the city wall to gain security.
"Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Shanglu City were slaughtered. These counts are too numerous to document. This official will show Chang'an." Zhang Wu said slowly.
Zhao Chong said anxiously: "Prefect, there are four thousand defenders in the city. If they go out of the city to fight, it may not be impossible to repel the Qiang people. If the Qiang people are allowed to wreak havoc in Wudu, more people will suffer. Bad hand."
Zhang Wu clenched his fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were prominent. He didn't want to order a war with the Qiang. However, at this time, the defenders in the city were Wudu's most important defensive force.
"The mood of Zhao Duwei, this official can understand, the Qiang people have nearly 8,000 people, and the attack on Shanglu must have been planned for a long time. If you rush to attack, once you take advantage of the Qiang people, there will be more Han people. Wei Zhao Duwei thought of this when the soldiers and civilians died." Zhang Wu sighed.
Zhao Chong gritted his teeth and said: "If this kind of hatred can't handle the Qiang people, what kind of face does this general claim to be a general under King Jin's command? Lord Li Qiang is just a literati who can still fight to the death when facing the Qiang people. Don’t retreat, this general is a military commander, even if he died in battle, what’s the matter.”
Zhang Wu could feel Zhao Chong's eagerness. Even if the same thing were put on King Jin, it would have the same effect. However, he could not order Zhao Chong to fight. The people of Wudu still need these soldiers to guard. .
"Wei Zhao, are you going to disobey this officer's order?" Zhang Wu said solemnly.
This sentence made Zhao Chong angry and shouted: "Zhang Wu, this general respects you as the prefect of Wudu, but what this general did not expect is that when the Qiang people ravaged Wudu, you turned out to be this. Such a choice, it’s worth noting that you usually claim to be a disciple of the King of Jin. Shouldn’t the disciple of the King of Jin shrink from fighting?"
Zhang Wu’s voice was also a bit angry. In any case, he was the prefect of Wudu. For Zhao Chong's words, there was something unreasonable on his face. Dare to disobey this officer's order?"
The officials in the field understood this and persuaded that when the enemy came, if the most important officials in the city quarreled, it would be extremely detrimental to the situation in Wudu.
"My lord, there is news from Jin Wang's general, Pound, that the army has now entered Wudu. General Taishici already knows what happened in Shanglu City. His preaching commanded Wudu to defend the army and not to fight. After the army arrives, Make the decision again, if there is anyone who violates the order, kill without mercy!" The scout's voice was a little anxious.
The moment Zhao Chong heard the order, instead of being angry, he was surprised. "The King Jin’s army is here, and the King Jin’s army is here. Qiang people, you, etc. will pay the price for the tragedy of Shanglu soldiers and civilians. This general wants to Kill all of you, kill all of you!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Chong actually shed tears.
The civil servants and generals in the field also lowered their heads. No matter what the current state of Wudu, the tragic situation in Shanglu City cannot be remedied by them.
"Duwei Zhao, don't be too sad, and now the defenders in the city have to rely on Duwei Zhao. It was just that the official's words were a little bit fierce." Zhang Wu stepped forward.
The generals in the field looked at Zhang Wu in surprise. He was not only a civil official, but also the prefect of Wudu. In terms of position, he was more prominent than Zhao Chong, and from the news passed by Pound’s orders, he was correct. It is Zhang Wu also.
Zhao Chong solemnly saluted: "The subordinates offended just now, please punish the prefect."
Zhang Wu smiled and said: "I am equivalent to an official of the Jin prince. What kind of punishment is not punishable? Besides, Zhao Duwei was just for the innocent people who died in Wudu."
The eyes of other officials looking at Zhang Wu were full of admiration. Zhang Wu was the prefect, and the most prominent existence in Wudu County today. It is absolutely magnanimous to be able to treat the captains in the city in this way.
Among the army, Tai Shici's expression was a little gloomy, and he wanted to let the army immediately rush to Wudu, and what happened in Shanglu City is now known to the soldiers in the army. The emotions they showed were angry, even marching. The speed is much faster than before. The three thousand prairie cavalrymen who followed Pound are not as excited as the Han army. They are also aliens in the eyes of the Han people. In the past, when the Xianbei people treated the Han people, they did it. It is the same method, perhaps they understand the Qiang people in their behavior.
Since receiving the news, the Xiandeng dead soldiers have been extremely silent. Ju Yi can feel the anger in the hearts of the Xiandeng dead soldiers. This silent silence is an expression of their anger to the extreme.
Isn’t this the case for Ju Yi? Even though the wars between the princes of the Central Plains were endless, it was ultimately a struggle of the Han people. When facing foreigners, they would put all their compassion away, so that the tragic situation in Shanglu City can be seen today. When foreigners treat the Han people , the methods are so cruel. Such enemies cannot be forgiven. Only the blood of the Qiang can wash away the hatred in their hearts.
"Send a scout, and try to explore the wind and grass around 30 miles. If you dare to have a scout slack at this time, Xiu blames the generals for being ruthless, sending the army to Wudu at the fastest speed." Tai Shici ordered, this Fan followed Taishici to fight with 5,000 soldiers. Except for Xianbei cavalry and Xiandeng dead soldiers, the rest were 1,200 foot soldiers.
Jushou could feel Taishici's feelings. Wudu was under the rule of the Jin king, and the Qiang people slaughtered the people of the Han. As a general in the army, it would be unqualified if he could not stop the protection of the people.
"Generals are the chief generals of the army, and these armies are the key to our army's breakthrough in the Tang Dynasty. Although Chang'an now has 20,000 soldiers and horses, it cannot be easily mobilized." Jushou reminded.
Tai Shici nodded slightly, "This general understands that in any case, Bai Ma Qiang and Shen Lang Qiang will have to pay a heavy price for this behavior."
Ju teaches: "If you are not my race, their hearts will be different. Whether they are Qiang, Di, Xianbei, Huns or Wuhuan, they are all coveting the territory of the Han, relying on killing, sometimes although they can To ease the power of the big man, it is difficult to solve the problem fundamentally, just like when the general guards the grassland, after the lord defeats the Xianbei, why not eradicate all the Xianbei?"
"This general understands this truth naturally, but if these Qiang people slaughter the city, if this general cannot avenge the dead soldiers and civilians, what face will he have in the future to return to Chang'an, and what face will he have face to face with King Jin, even if he suffers Infamy, this general will never keep his hands." Tai Shici said slowly.
