20. Beiyuan slaughtered
The cruel clearance lasted for ten days, but Gao Yue still refused to give up. He escorted the three thousand foreign soldiers captured by the war in Huating by the Tang army, saying that "the foreign road is still placed on the foreign body." He went southeast and reached the junction of Weishui and Watingchuan.
Through the Wei River, the south bank is Shangqin, the old capital of Qinzhou. Gao Yue asked his soldiers to use horse spears, long swords, swords, etc. to suppress a series of foreign soldiers tied with horse ropes, and shouted that he would ask Shangqin to open the city quickly, otherwise he would escort these foreign soldiers to attack the city.
Shangqi was only sixty miles away from Chengji Palace. Shangjiezan was both hated and afraid when he learned of the tragic situation. After discussing with his deputy Xu Li, he sent Qu Jiazan as an envoy and said to him: "You go and tell Gao Yue that as long as you can treat the three thousand prisoners of Dafan, this ceremony is willing to give up the state to him and return it to the officials of Tang such as Ma Sui, Cui Hanheng, Yuan Tongzhi, and Lu Wen."
When Qu Jizan heard this request, he was shocked and begged Shang Jiezan and said:
In the Xiji Jie Alliance, the Tang family thought that I was the Yuan Conspiracy, because I had negotiated with Ma Sui and even the Emperor of the Tang family before, and then treacherously. Now, you ask me to go to Gaoyue camp to go to the camp of the Great Deed.
Shang Jiezan had no choice but to say to Qu Jiazan: "The troops from Shanzhou and Qinghai City will arrive soon. At that time, this theory will recover the entire area east of Qinzhou. Gao Yue must have known about this and will never dare to do anything rashly. If you go this time, you will ensure that you are worried."
Qu Jizan cried so hard that he was forced to get on his horse by his own people, crossing the gorge of Watingchuan and reaching Gaoyue's camp.
The result was taken for granted. Gao Yue, Hun Yu, Yining, and the soldiers of the Dingwu army saw Qu Jiazan rolling down from the horse and lying in front of the camp army. They all knew what role he was:
First, when the Dingwu Army's predecessor, Baicao Army, fought bloody battles in Anlezhou and intercepted Ma Chongying, it was this one who ran to speak cleverly and confused Hedong Jiedushi Ma Sui, making him unable to move forward, causing the Tang army to lose the great opportunity to wipe out Ma Chongying's men and horses, and now the rebellion of Qiang bees in the area south of Hetao;
Then he betrayed his faith and instigated the Western Fan theory to commit bloody acts of robbing the alliance in Xiji, killing the Tang family and allied officials and soldiers.
Immediately, the Marquis of Zhongyu Guo Zaizhen set up a "punishment stake" in the center of the camp, tied the Qu Qiaozan to it, and let him call him. "I am the minister who came to discuss peace, and I am also the noble Zhonggong theory of Dafan. If you have a sterling silver, you should abide by ethics and do not harm me!"
Gao Yue pointed at Qu Ji and shouted angrily: "Why can't you harm?"
"The Tang family said that the messengers traveled to and from the Tao, and even if the two countries fought, they should not harm them."
"Then what should you do when you wait for the Xifan dog to lose all your conscience and kill the Xiji Alliance?" Gao Yue was furious and immediately let the tooth soldiers beside him take turns to step forward, hitting the slaughter.
Qu Jiazan was beaten to the point of blood and wailing, and he was beaten until his clothes were broken, his head was hanging down and he fainted. Blood and braids were mixed together, and Gao Yue asked someone to pour cold water on his face.
At this time, the Longyou area was already cold and cold. The trauma was stimulated by cold water. The pain made him twist like a worm, his teeth were crushed. When he was breathing, he began to yell and scold in a foreign language.
"Do you want to dig out the heart of this Fanzi?" Cai Fengyuan immediately pulled out the bright dagger and asked Gao Yue.
Gao Yue shook his head and said no, and then sneered, Qu Jizan said he would not kill him, so Ben Yin would not kill him.
He wanted Qu Jizan to see with his own eyes how he "remained his mission".
An hour later, in the tent of the Hunyu River Central Army, "What, Gao Yisong wants to kill foreign soldiers and prisoners?" Hunyu, who was reading the prescription, was shocked and jumped up and shouted to Bai Sole, the envoy who came to inform him.
Bai Sole's face was full of distress and nodded, meaning it was almost the same.
After a while, Lu Lun, the chief secretary of Hun Yu, hurried into the tent, "After the festival, Gao Dayin was beating the drum beats and gathering Yining, and the two armies of Dingwu, I am afraid that they will kill prisoners."
Hun Ye's eyes widened.
Because in the past, large-scale killing of prisoners was a very taboo thing. In the short term, it was a bit cruel, and in the short term, it was an act that damaged the good deeds.
"Let's go, stop Yisong!" Hun Yu came out of the tent, quickly turned over and ran towards Gao Yue's camp.
But everything was too late. When Hun Yu arrived at Yining and Dingwu Army camp, Gao Yue had already sent an order: to divide 3,000 Xifan prisoners, including more than 800 Zanpu's imprisonment soldiers into 60 "collision teams". The two armies were divided into 30 and rushed to the north of the Wei River to slaughter them. Pinglong long swords went down like snowflakes. When Hun Yu ran to Beiyuan, he saw headless corpses all over the ground and all their heads rolled into the long trenches dug out in front. Only a group of soldiers standing there covered with iron turrets, trying to dig pits and bury the killed foreign soldiers and prisoners.
The grave head of Beiyuan was as undulating as waves. Qu Qiaozan was tied to a wooden pillar. Below it was a wooden bed with wheels. He looked down at him and witnessed the tragic scene of his captives being executed. He was still shouting freely, and probably was irritated and terrified.
Hun Ye was furious and could not find Gao Yue. Instead, he found Gao Gu in the north of the earth, and cursed angrily, "Huang Cen, you dog-legged thief!"
When Gao Gu saw that he was the old master, he knew why Hun Yu was, so he quickly dismounted and said, "If this foreign soldiers were sent to the court, they would inevitably be blocked by Changliuling after offering a battle in Taimiao, and would not be allowed to return home for life. Moreover, there were many miasma in the south, and most of the foreign soldiers left would not survive for a year or two, and they would only consume food, fodder and clothes..."
Hun Yu was so angry that he rarely hit Gao Gu, who was like his offspring, with the tip of the whip, "Don't pretend to be confused, you know that this handsome guy is not asking this."
At this moment, Gao Gu could only answer according to the truth: "The following statement said that it was to kill prisoners, which shocked the courage of the foreigners and boosted the spirit of our army. Moreover, these three thousand soldiers were captured in battle, not surrendering, so they were killed without harming morality."
Hun Ye sighed to the sky and said to Gao Gu: "Alas, as military generals, you cannot correct your nature of being a good general, and make your good Jinshi become a person like Bai Qi and Xiang Yu. I am afraid that although Gao Yisong was the civil servant to conquer Fengxiang and Xingyuan, the killing of the border affairs could not be eliminated."
In fact, Hun Yen guessed correctly.
After killing three thousand prisoners, Gao Yue let the half-dead Qu Jiazan go, throw him on the donkey and return to Chengji Palace Castle.
In addition, Gao Yue tied a fox tail to Qu Qi Chi Zan's head, and another one was tied behind him.
The fox tail, in the customs of Western Fan, represents the shame of failure and escape. The brave words of the warriors in Western Fan are given tiger and leopard skins, while the cowardly words are tied with fox tails.
Another point is what Gao Yue gave to Shang Jiezan as a "rebate" for him to give the dress and the women's clothes the day before yesterday.
Seeing the fox tail symbolizing shame and the dying Qu Jiazan, he heard that Gao Yue slaughtered three thousand prisoners on the Weishui land on the other side of Shangqian - Shang Jiezan fell ill immediately.
