Chapter 702

Of course, Chaotang did not give up the last glimmer of hope. Since the three major factions were not strong enough, they directly contacted Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming.

At this time, the imperial court was almost responsive to every request, and the implication was that Shang Chaozong could not hesitate to ask for any conditions, and he could talk about anything.

The reason is very simple, no matter what accounts to settle, you must pass this level first, stabilize the Shang Dynasty first, and then talk about it.

...

The army finally walked out of the muddy area. Zhang Hu's mount had completely turned into mud legs. He reined in his horse and looked back, waiting for the carriage carrying Meng Shanming to come ashore from the mud.

The soldiers who came ashore one after another were also covered in mud, most of them had their trouser legs rolled up, and their stinky shoes were hanging on their shoulders. They were all exhausted.

Those captives with luggage were even more unbearable. At least the Yan army was full. They only drank some soup and water, and their ears were cut and injured. Now they are carrying heavy loads, and they are exhausted. , Some people collapsed on the ground as soon as they landed, not wanting to move.

This is the reason why Meng Shanming temporarily kept them from killing them. It is inconvenient to march in flooded places, so he used these captives as labor labor!

Seeing that some prisoners were lying down, the escorting Yan Jun immediately went up to punch and kick them, forcing them to get up.

Zhang Hu turned a blind eye to this scene, and just waited for the carriage to come up and go to greet him.

Accompanying the carriage to the side to watch the follow-up people come ashore, Zhang Hu tested Meng Shanming in the window, "Are these captives really going to be handed over to the imperial court as bargaining chips?"

Meng Shanming said expressionlessly: "Notify all departments, after landing, kill them on the spot!"

"Killed?" Zhang Hu was taken aback.

Meng Shanming slowly closed his eyes, and stopped talking, Zhang Hu understood, he heard right, so he went to execute it.

What is a murder? It is buried alive!

For Zhang Hu, it is better to kill him directly than to kill him. He does not understand why Meng Shanming insists on using such a terrifying method, but Meng Shanming's words are military orders!

After receiving the military order from Meng Shanming, the ministries from Qunluo Mountain immediately gathered the captives captured by the ministries and forced these captives to dig pits. They dug countless large pits, and then forced these captives into the pits.

The final scene was horrific. In countless pits, countless captives were wailing and begging for mercy.

But everything is under the control of Meng Shanming, injured, not given enough to eat, the weight of the muddy ground is exhausted, and they are forced to dig holes by themselves, and their physical strength has long been exhausted. Although there are 600,000 people, the 600,000 elite Meng Shanming has already collapsed, even if they gather together, they don't have any resistance.

A sergeant of the Yan Army could easily send them into the pit with a kick or a light push, but it was difficult for them to climb up after going down.

A group of Yan soldiers shoveled soil around the big pit, and the crying and shouting in the pit was horrific, and those who climbed up with a little strength were shot down by the surrounding archers.

The sky is bright and clear, and the bright sun that shines brightly regards all beings as ants, and is indifferent to the tragedies on the earth.

When all the big pits were completely filled, the world was quiet, the people buried in the ground could not make a sound, and Yan Jun on the ground didn't seem to want to speak after witnessing this scene.

For these murderers, this scene will never be forgotten!

Of course, they didn't kill them all, Meng Shanming kept a little alive, and let them have a full meal, let them take back what they saw and heard, and let them take the news back!

These captives who survived the catastrophe almost ran away, and the fright they received will never be forgotten!

...

There were quarrels in the court of Song Jing, some were neutral, some were quarreling, some were blushing and thick-necked, because of Meng Shanming's request for a large number of food and grass, the situation was as expected.

Faced with the threat of the Yan army's invasion of the country, Song Guo originally proposed peace talks, but Yanjing proposed negotiations on his own initiative. Knowing that Luo Zhao's army's threat to Yanjing had had an effect, he immediately sat on the ground and raised the price. conditions of.

Song Guo knew that Yan Guo would not agree, because he knew that the current Yan Guo court would not do anything to Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming, but it was because of this that he increased the weight.

Negotiations were like this, and the lion opened his mouth and waited for a counter-offer to obtain favorable conditions for the two parties to stop.

After all, how to withdraw first, how far to withdraw first, how to release the prisoners, and how much to release first are all questions, and no one is at ease with the other party.

Unexpectedly, after the additional conditions were put forward here, Meng Shanming also imposed harsh conditions, exchanging prisoners for a large amount of food and grass.

The people led by Meng Shanming had already threatened the State of Song. If they were given enough food and grass, once Meng Shanming tore away the false veil of the peace talks, the consequences would be disastrous.

May I ask how the court of the Song Dynasty can easily agree, but if they don't agree, they are worried that Meng Shanming will take the opportunity to mess up.

In a dilemma, how can Song Jingchao not quarrel? The husband said that the father was right, and the wife said that the mother was right, and they quarreled endlessly, arguing about this matter for two days in a row.

Just at this moment, a sound came from outside: "Report!"

An eunuch rushed over like a concubine, and the hall fell silent. The eunuch knelt down in full view, holding the report in both hands, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report ahead, old thief Meng Shanming With a vicious hand, I have six hundred thousand sons in the Song Dynasty, except for the release of a hundred messengers, the rest were all murdered by the old thief!"

As soon as this report came out, everyone in the hall changed expression, and they all showed expressions of horror, murder? Meng Shanming actually killed the 600,000 elites of the Song Dynasty?

Song Huang Mu Zhuozhen, who was sitting high on the top, turned pale instantly, stood up tremblingly, and asked with difficulty: "What did you say?"

The chief eunuch Mo Gao hurried down to take the report from the eunuch and returned.

The eunuch who was kneeling on the ground raised his head and said in tears: "Your Majesty, I, the 600,000-year-old son of the Great Song Dynasty, was murdered by the old thief Meng Shanming! The old thief Meng Shanming said that he had received news that we were arguing about food and grass in the court. He didn't intend to give it to him at all. The old thief also said that Song Jun was still approaching Yanjing, and he had no sincerity in negotiating. He didn't need to be polite, so he ordered my 600,000 sons to be buried alive!"

Naturally, this is all Meng Shanming's excuse, Meng Shanming complied with Niu Youdao's reminder, but Meng Shanming added the excuse that the Song army approached Yanjing.

After Meng Shanming received the news that Song Jun was still approaching Yanjing, how could he be a vegetarian? He immediately thought of adding this article, and explicitly accused Song Jun of being untrustworthy and Song Guo for not being sincere in negotiating. Luo Zhao put a bowl of shit on his head.

Meng Shanming believed that the court of Song Dynasty and the emperor of Song Dynasty would not take this responsibility, only Luo Zhao could take it!

Luo Zhao had a good plan, and wanted to use Yanjing as a bargaining chip. How could it be easier for Meng Shanming to fight against him.

They are all generals who lead the army in battle, so they naturally know what is the most harmful, and they are afraid that the army's morale will be unstable!

Luo Zhao, as the commander-in-chief of the Song Army, put on Luo Zhao the hat of disregarding the life and death of 600,000 Song Army children, and the consequences can be imagined!

The two countries are at war, and Meng Shanming will not be polite, he is also punishing Luo Zhao to death!

"Your Majesty, Luo Zhao has wronged the country! He was asked to withdraw his troops and return to aid a long time ago. He resisted the order and did not respect it. He relied on his military power and insisted on going his own way. Now he has caused the 600,000 elites of the Song Dynasty to be murdered. Luo Zhao is a thief who wronged the country. Ah!" Someone yelled sadly, this person was the first to suggest that Luo Zhao withdraw his troops and return to aid, and now he finally found a chance to prove himself right.

The military officer at the scene immediately scolded, "Nonsense! This is clearly Meng Shanming's excuse, how can he be fooled!"

Immediately there was another commotion in the courtroom.

Standing in front of the throne, Mu Zhuozhen held the report with both hands to check it, his face was ugly, his hands trembled, and he suddenly raised his eyes and shouted angrily: "Shut up, everyone!"

The hall fell silent for a moment, and after a while, Prime Minister Zi Pingxiu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, no matter if it's an excuse or what, Meng Shanming's move is undoubtedly ignoring the negotiations between the two countries. It is obvious what he wants to do. Immediately summon Luo Zhao to withdraw his troops and come back for help!"

Mu Zhuozhen's cheeks twitched for a while, and he said sharply: "Break Yanjing, massacre the city! Take revenge for me, Da Song Erlang!"

With one word out, the final decision was made, to slaughter Yanjing first and then withdraw the troops!

At this point, the war that Song Guo first provoked suffered a big loss, and 600,000 elites were killed. It was appalling. If Song Guo didn't come back with some results, what would Song Guo think of him as the emperor?

...

The Yan State convoy of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages pulled more than a hundred large boxes on the official road, and the flags demanding talks were planted on the carriages.

When they were on the way through the mountains, several monks from the Song Dynasty who were in charge of patrolling appeared in the forest.

Although this place is far away from the main forces of the Song army to attack Yan, it is impossible for the Song army not to deploy spies in the rear to guard against surprise attacks by the enemy.

Seeing the interview flag, the inspecting monks of Song Dynasty showed up and stopped the carriage.

After confirming the identities of both parties, the leader of the Yan army who was in charge of the escort took out a letter to the other party, "The former governor of Fanluo gave us a gift to Mengshuai, and I will return the gift to Governor Luo under the order of Mengshuai! Shuai wrote the letter himself, and I hope to pass it on to the governor."

After the handover between the two sides, the monks did not embarrass the escorts, and there was no need for them. The two armies fought without killing them, and let these people go.

It's just that the gift, which was filled with more than a dozen carts, made several monks curious. They didn't know what the hell they were giving, and they could smell the stench, so they immediately opened the box to check.

He untied the rope on the carriage and just unfastened the buckle of a box, when he heard a "bang", the box lid popped open by itself, scaring several monks to be alert.

I saw a pile of things gushing out of the box like a spring, dripping all over the ground, and there was a suffocating stench.

What came out of the box was something like fungus, what the hell? After several people looked at what it was, "vomit!" Some people couldn't help covering their mouths and retching.

ear! They are all human ears!

The ears had swelled and rotted during shipping in a full box, so they popped out of the box as soon as they were opened.

Those densely packed ears looked creepy, even though they were monks, it was the first time they had seen such a disgusting scene.

There was no way to put all the ears that had dripped all over the place back into the box.

After finally getting used to it for a while, the monks looked at the hundreds of boxes on the carriage, and then looked at each other with doubts in their eyes. Could it be that the hundreds of boxes are filled with human ears?

Thinking about it carefully, I was terrified, they were already covered in goose bumps, and their hairs were standing on end.
