Chapter 1463 Public Indignation

When they were in Puzi, they heard the news that the Huns were massacred. At that time, all the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were very indignant, but after all, hearing it was false and seeing it was true. At this time, they saw the bodies of many Han people, which immediately aroused the anger of the soldiers of the Zuoweiying camp. These corpses included men, women, elderly and children. They all became the targets of the Huns' slaughter for no reason. How could the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army not be angry as soldiers?

There must be casualties on the battlefield, but that is war and cannot be avoided. But when attacking unarmed civilians, how different are these people and beasts?

If the Bingzhou army had not been subject to military discipline, many Bingzhou soldiers would have cut off the heads of the Huns, allowing them to taste the consequences of killing innocent people indiscriminately. These people were completely injustice!

The Bingzhou army was afraid to kill prisoners without any chance, but it became common to vent their anger by punching and kicking them, especially for those Xiongnu who were slow and did not obey orders, the Bingzhou soldiers beat them to death, which made them bruised and bruised.

The Huns have always been barbaric and arrogant. They regarded the Han people as grass and killed them at will. At this moment, they were beaten by the Bingzhou army, and some people rose up to resist. The Bingzhou army was really worried that they could not find an excuse. As long as they dared to resist, the Bingzhou army would naturally suppress and kill them mercilessly.

After some of the Huns who took the lead were killed, the remaining Huns were naturally much more honest. They would rather be beaten than resist any more.

However, the mass pit outside Lishi City was soon discovered by the Bingzhou army. This mass pit was specially used by the Huns to bury the corpses of the mass civilians in Lishi that were massacred. Since the Huns had not transported all the bodies in the city, the mass pit had not yet been buried. The huge pit several feet deep was densely covered with Han corpses. Just looking at this scene was enough to make people feel numb. Many Bingzhou soldiers who witnessed this tragic situation could not help but burst into tears on the spot.

These Huns are really worse than beasts!

Many Bingzhou soldiers angrily pulled out their swords and rushed into the city, shouting blood debts and blood compensation. Even if they were punished for violating military discipline, they would still kill several Huns to vent their anger.

At this time, Qian Hong had just entered the city and saw these Bingzhou soldiers rushing into the city like crazy tigers. His face darkened and he shouted: "What are you going to do? Is it a mutiny? Take all the people here!"

A military sergeant came forward to report: "Qi reported to the general that they were angry when they saw the scene of the Huns massacred civilians, so they wanted to seek revenge on the Huns."

Qian Hong said in a deep voice: "No matter what the reason is, those who violate military discipline will never be forgiven easily. They will be handed over to the Military Law Department and punished according to the law, and they shall not be favored."

These soldiers were quickly arrested. The Bingzhou Army had strict military discipline. Anyone who violated military discipline would not be forgiven even if Qian Hong himself had violated it.

However, these soldiers had not had time to kill prisoners of war, and the military discipline they violated was relatively minor, and the punishment they received was generally not too great. If they really had to kill people, it would be hard to say the result. According to the law, they would be severely punished.

But the mass grave was spread, and the people in the Zuowei Camp were extremely angry and asked Qian Hong and Geng Biao to punish these Xiongnu prisoners of war. The best way was to bury them all alive in the mass grave to comfort the unjustly dead souls.

Geng Biao said to Qian Hong with some concern: "The soldiers are very excited now. These Hun soldiers are so cruel that they will not be able to calm the public's anger if they do not kill them. If the general continues to suppress them, they will probably complain."

Qian Hong said in a deep voice: "Military discipline is military discipline. Even if you and I are not allowed to disobey, everyone's mood is understandable, but any violation of military discipline will be severely punished. Someone will report this matter to the lord and he will decide. If the order is passed on, all the Hun prisoners of war will be detained. Before the lord's order is issued, no one will be allowed to kill one person without permission. Those who violate the violation will be severely punished! Where is the former military captain?"

He Xing immediately stepped forward and said, "I am in a humble position.

"I ordered you to lead your troops to the Yellow River Ferry immediately, take down the ferry and block it. Even if it is a bird, you must not let him fly across the Yellow River!" Qian Hong ordered.

He Xing took the order and immediately led his troops to rush to the Yellow River Ferry dozens of miles away.

In Cao Liang's plan, capturing Lishicheng and the Yellow River Ferry was an extremely important link. Only by cutting off the return of the Huns could it be possible to wipe them out in Bingzhou. Once Liu Yuan escaped back to Shuofang, it would be a mud bull into the sea and there was no trace to be found. Cao Liang wanted to wipe him out again, but he still didn't know how much effort it would take.

Therefore, whether to kill the Huns or not is a small matter. Cutting off the Xiongnu's way back is a big matter. Qian Hong naturally knew very well that it was impossible to lose the foundation and go to the end.

After sending He Xing to the Yellow River Ferry, Qian Hong ordered Geng Biao to comprehensively strengthen Li Shi's defense. If the news of Li Shi City's loss reached Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan would definitely fight to retake Li Shi City. There would inevitably be a fierce battle at that time. After Qian Hong entered the city, he ordered the Zuowei Camp to strengthen his vigilance and respond to the counterattack of the Huns at any time.

……………………………………………………………………

After Cao Liang sent out three groups of troops, he still had 5,000 people directly under the Left Army, but most of these 5,000 people were in the logistics support system, and there were not too many combatants. Cao Liang had already arrived at the junction of Pingyang County and Xihe County, not far from Shicheng.

Pei Xiu was the only adviser to follow Cao Liang back to Bingzhou this time. After receiving Qian Hong's report, he immediately reported to Cao Liang: "Lord, General Qian has successfully taken Li Shi, but the soldiers of the Zuowei Camp were indignant when they saw the tragic situation of the Huns massacred the people of Li Shi, and they asked for the punishment of these Xiongnu prisoners of war. General Qian was unable to make a decision, so they asked the lord to decide."

Cao Liang said lightly: "Although the atrocities of the Huns are full of grievances, they are bitten by a dog. Can we bite the dog? Tell Qian Hong that everything is handled according to military discipline and cannot be carried out in excess of power. The army must have military discipline, and no one can surpass military discipline."

Cao Liang was completely understandable about the soldiers of the Zuowei camp. The Huns' atrocities had already angered all the soldiers of Bingzhou. The calls for their blood debts to be paid for their blood are very high, but the military disciplines set by Cao Liang himself cannot be violated, not to mention that this is the first wave. After defeating Liu Yuan in the future, the Huns will only have more prisoners of war. Will they be killed?
