"Do you want the whole city to be buried with people?"

Sun Guangxian's words made the civil and military officials in the hall shudder.

The massacre of the city, which often happened after the Anshi Rebellion, made the officials feel frightened from the bottom of their hearts. Most of them were well-read in poetry and books, and they couldn't help but think of the profound massacre of the city.

The troubled times came, but Huang Chao was still open.

After conquering Guangzhou, Huang Chao created a bloody murder, looted wealth, massacred 120,000 Muslims, Christians, Jews and civilians (some say more than 200,000), which is very far from all officials.

Later, after plundering Lingnan supplies, Huang Chao led his troops to capture Chang'an and proclaimed himself emperor. A few months later, a grain shortage occurred and the city of Chang'an was in chaos. A small group of Tang troops took advantage of the chaos to attack the city. Huang Chao was very weak and immediately fled out of the city with a few followers. After the Tang army entered the city, he was welcomed by the people of Chang'an. Huang Chao calmed down outside the city and found that there were very few Tang soldiers entering the city, so he counterattacked the city. Huang Chao, who reentered Chang'an, hated the people's welcome to the Tang army and ordered the bloody slaughter of Chang'an. Chang'an, the largest city with the largest population at that time, was cut off and became an empty city.

Even a hero like Guo Rong, who was admired by the nations, could not help but have a bad record of massacre of the city:

On the 23rd day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Xiande (958), Chai Rong led the main troops to the city of Chuzhou and immediately ordered the siege. This battle in Chuzhou was the most difficult battle in Huainan. The battle process was extremely fierce. The Chu army's defense envoy Zhang Yanqing was so hard that he swears to never surrender. The imperial guards died too much, and Guo Rong was finally forced to massacre the city and dispel the imperial guards' hostility.

For Nanping Kingdom and Gao's family, it was impossible for them to die.

The reason why the Nanping Kingdom has a large population is that it is because there are few wars and the literati soldiers who have been avoided simply stayed. It was just to survive and let them die. Isn’t this just forcing the stone girl to sell herself, and the Song Confucians expanded their territory, which was impossible.

"Shut up, if the Tang envoy is destroyed, how can Jiangling survive?" Gao Baoxu was also very smart and immediately scolded. He sat in this position to enjoy wealth and glory, not for power. He was not as good as the governor of the Central Plains!

"Let the soldiers from Xiazhou and Guizhou gather in Jiangling and defend Jiangling is important! Xiangzhou is only one day away from Jiangling, and the Tang army will definitely not be able to defeat him within one day!"

"No——" The shogunate officials obeyed.

At this afternoon, before the sun set, hundreds of large ships swept across Jiangling. The merchants in the city who were still lucky had no doubts anymore. They shrank in the city and did not dare to step out of the city. They could only pray in their hearts that they could save their lives.

Li Jia stood on the deck, Jiang Feng was reincarnated, and the left and right were Pan Chongche, Li Xin, Zhang Wanghai and other generals, each standing on both sides according to their official positions, holding their breath, looking at the emperor without saying a word.

"Is this Jiangling City? It's really majestic!" Li Jia sighed.

"Report to Your Majesty, Jiangling City has been built for more than 100,000 people. It is a first-class city. Gao's family has been living in the country for decades!" Wu Qing, who was standing beside him, said.

The generals around him were speechless. Even if they were the famous actors of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the Sound of the

"Commander Ma, how do you think Jiangling City should be taken down?" Li Jia glanced at the silent generals. His eyes slowly moved back and saw a man with a red face. His horse was stout and famous in the Huainan army. He followed Li Chong in and out of Huainan and fought in a strong city like Haozhou and Chuzhou.

"Can Jiangling be comparable to Shouzhou City?" Li Jia asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, although Shouzhou is tall, it is not as good as Jiangling, and its food, supplies are even more difficult to compare. But there is one thing. Liu Renzhan, the garrison of Shouzhou City, was tenacious, and Emperor Shizong was tempted in all kinds of temptations, but he was not moved. Even Shizong was wearing a catapult on the ship called a cannon boat, but it was still difficult to capture for several months. The stubbornness of the day was simply unbelievable!"

Ma Dong recalled the battle situation at that time and couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning: "At that time, Liu Renzhan passed away, dozens of generals and soldiers committed suicide and came to bury him for his death! The whole city was crying, which was terrifying!"

"It's a pity that Jiangling City is not Shouzhou, nor does it have Liu Renzhan!" Li Jia said with a smile:

"The entire Jiangling City is only tens of thousands of soldiers and has not been through war for a long time. I sent a battalion of soldiers before, but it made Jiangling so messy and unable to live in peace. Thousands of troops can't do anything. They are really a bunch of waste!"

Everyone laughed loudly when they heard this, and their fear of this strong city disappeared.

"Bring him up! Let's meet this warrior!"

So Hou Peng came to the boat with trembling fear and saw the emperor he had never met before and some senior generals. He was happy, but his body was uncontrollably timid, so he stiffened and bowed.

"It's true that a man is a man with only 500 people disturbing the hearts of the army and the people in Jiangling!" Li Jia took a few steps closer and looked at the dark man, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"I heard that you have killed thousands of Jiangling soldiers. Let me tell you about the soldiers in Jiangling?"

"Report to your Majesty, after we arrived at Jiangling City, we just attacked and killed some manors, and then we met Jiangling soldiers. You thought it was a fierce battle, but who knew it was a group of people like this!"

Hou Peng had some courage at this time and said with his neck straight:

"No one of these Jiangling soldiers could use them, and they were timid and afraid of death. They killed several people. The soldiers of the capital ran away. They have been surrounding us for many days. We are not afraid of him. Instead, they change into their clothes and kill faster and lose trust between each other. Only the personal soldiers of the King of Nanping are powerful, but not many, only a few thousand. They are the treasures of the King of Nanping, and they don't need to come out easily..."

After hearing this explanation, the generals instantly felt a clear mind. War does not just have a city wall, but also requires a group of strong soldiers and generals who are not afraid of death.

Obviously, Jiangling City did not. In this way, there was naturally a sense of fighting and everyone wanted to make a contribution.

"Report to Your Majesty, I will follow the instructions and seize some manors. Many of the grains are hidden, all of which are the newly harvested autumn, about 5,000 stones!" Hou Peng said carefully.

"Five thousand stones? Very good!" Li Jia looked at the powerful general with great interest, and the more he looked, he became more and more happy. He said:

"You have disrupted the morale of Jiangling's army, explored the truth and found the truth, and obtained food and supplies for the army. The contribution is really great. After the war, you will never give me any rewards! But today, if you have military achievements, you have to reward them. Now I will give you this sword!"

As he said that, Li Jia took off the sword on his body and gave it to Hou Peng directly, which shocked the man and his eyes were slightly red.
