After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

Chapter 189

In autumn, there is dew and frost, and in winter, there is snow and mild or severe cold.

The day of "heavy snow" is a day worth celebrating for the Dali Dynasty and its people.

The Di Lu first suffered a major defeat in Bao'an Prefecture and suffered heavy losses. They were then attacked by Cao Wenzhao. They finally took advantage of Gao Qiqian, but ended up suffering another crushing defeat in Shahe.

The loss of troops was not large, only about a thousand people, but what was extremely strange was that all the captains and secretaries of each department were killed in the battle, and Aqi Ge even disappeared mysteriously.

You must know that the 3,000 elite cavalrymen who marched south were all elite soldiers and generals drawn from various tribes.

The Dilu army was immediately thrown into a situation of being leaderless.

After searching for a long time outside Changping City, they found a lame Melezhangjing, who was a deputy general. He was two levels lower than Aqi Ge, the commander of the Western Army.

When Lame Zhang Jing received the news, he was stunned and didn't know whether to retreat or advance.

The bottom line of the mission given by King Di was to plunder enough food, people and livestock, but now the army has only occupied two cities in total.

Baoan Prefecture is a small city with only 30,000 people. If you enter the city without closing your sword, there will be few people left to breathe.

Xuanfu had a larger population, but the young and strong were killed and eaten, so the total number was no more than 20,000.

This number of people is not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth.

There are more than 200,000 people in Changping, but they are separated by the city wall. Gao Qiquan, the turtle bastard, gathered 30,000 people and retreated inside, holding up a banner of no war.

There are not enough people to eat it raw, and it is easy to break your teeth.

Just when the lame Zhang Jing was hesitating, that bastard Cao Wenzhao borrowed two thousand cavalrymen from somewhere and gathered a total of four thousand soldiers to attack.

When they come, they won't confront you head-on, but will harass you everywhere and run over to rub against you from time to time.

If you dare to chase him, Cao Wenzhao will jump out immediately to let you know what the iron fist of a powerful external force master is.

I can't win in a one-on-one fight, and I have no chance in a group fight.

After a few rounds of fighting, Lame Zhang Jing had no choice but to retreat with his group. If he didn't retreat now, he would have no chance once the food ran out.

They were inevitably defeated by Cao Wenzhao on the way, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of people and the burning of a lot of food and grass.

What’s even more infuriating is that Gao Qiquan, that scumbag, actually came out to pick up heads, hanging far behind.

If you take care of him, Cao Wenzhao will easily catch you. If you don't care about him, there are more than 20,000 cavalry and infantry, which is scary.

Lame Zhang Jing was so angry that he screamed and yelled, but he was at a loss as to what to do.

In this way, the Di Lu army retreated to the city of Xuanzhou.

With the help of 20,000 cavalrymen from the Rong tribe heading south, they retreated from the Great Wall in a panic.

Outside Shanhaiguan, King Di, who had gathered 300,000 troops to prepare for an internal and external attack on the pass, had no choice but to withdraw his troops after learning of the military situation.

A tsunami of dynastic change was thus averted.

When the news came, the capital was in an uproar.

From the emperor and his ministers to the common people, everyone was as joyous as if it were a festival.

During the emperor's grand court, Cao Wenzhao fought against the Di invaders and was rewarded with the title of General Guarding the Country and the title of Prince's Guardian for his meritorious service in repelling the enemy.

Wei Zhongliang was rewarded for his contribution in raising food and money, and was promoted to the Prince's Junior Tutor and given a yellow dragon robe by the emperor.

Shen Lian fought bloody battles in Shahe and was rewarded with the title of Left Commander-in-Chief and the Golden Python Belt by the emperor for his meritorious service in defending the capital.

The rest of the generals stationed in the mountains and seas and the civil officials in the city were all rewarded.

Gao Qiqian suffered a great defeat, but considering that he had recovered lost territory and beheaded 7,000 Di people, his merits and demerits offset his faults and he was reinstated in his original position.

This is the court.

The same is true among the people.

The war that had destroyed homes and killed people was over, and the people returned to their homes one after another.

In this turbulent and chaotic world, we have overcome another difficulty.

Even refugees and beggars were running around celebrating.

Why?

King Xu Tianen of Zhongshan wrote to the emperor, saying that Dali had won a great victory over the Di Lu and the whole country was celebrating. However, there were many victims in the capital and countless people were starving and freezing. He requested to raise low-quality grain and provide porridge as relief.

Perhaps the emperor was in a good mood and was free from suspicion, so he made an exception and issued an order allowing Xu Tianen to distribute porridge to relieve the disaster.

As a result, many porridge stalls appeared on the streets and alleys.

Homeless beggars line up for food.

Qin He ran over to take a look. The porridge was thin and a lot of bran had been added to it. The color was not white at all, but dark yellow, like manure soup.

But even so, there were three layers of refugees and beggars queuing up for food in each porridge stall.

In the dead of winter with heavy snow, anything that can be eaten and produces feces is a lifesaver.

No one dislikes it.

Those who are disliked are those who have food and drink.

Some local people also sneaked in to try to get some food, but after taking a bite, they left cursing.

Qin He sensed Xu Tianen's location and found that he had actually run into the palace. He didn't know whether he was hiding or what.

The porridge provided obviously did not meet the requirements, but considering that the victims could eat it and the effect was good, we put up with it.

Let’s see what happens next. If Xu Tianen dares to play any tricks again, he will know why the flowers are so red in a minute.

The dock quickly returned to its former bustle.

Merchants with a keen sense of smell returned north with fully loaded goods, tank ships resumed their passage, and merchants came and went in a constant stream.

All the major venues at the Beijing docks were packed with people, who continued to play the flute, twist their waists, and dance.

But some are happy while others are sad; when some are happy, some are unlucky.

Who?

The prefect of Hejian, Liang Shijie.

How unlucky is it?

The emperor decreed that the entire family be executed!

Hey, retribution comes so quickly and so violently.

Speaking of which, Liang Shijie is also very unlucky.

Liang Shijie was reinstated and appointed as the prefect of Hejian again.

Hejian Prefecture is located in the south of Yan territory, a hundred miles away from the capital, and has nothing to do with the Dilu raid on the grasslands this time.

But unfortunately, Liang Shijie did not go directly to Hejian to resume his post, but went north to Huairou to visit his mentor, Donglin leader Xu Yanqing. After the visit, he passed through Shunyi County on his way back.

The situation in the west took a sharp turn for the worse because of Gao Qiqian's crushing defeat.

The news did not spread so quickly. By the time the news reached Shunyi County, the Di Lu had surrounded Changping, and Shunyi County was on the verge of collapse.

To make matters worse, the position of Shunyi County Magistrate is vacant and the new official has not yet taken office.

The gentry and common people in the city were leaderless. At this time, they looked and saw that Liang Shijie, the governor of Hejian, was resting in the county.

Well, they are all officials. No matter who they are, just catch one and let him take charge of the important matters first.

When Liang Shijie heard that the Di Lu had reached Changping, he dared not stay in Shunyi, as the Di Lu's scattered soldiers were already wandering outside the city.

Once the city is surrounded, this small county town will be finished.

So Liang Shijie said to everyone not to worry, saying that he was there for everything, but he secretly sent people to explore the way and slipped away under the cover of night.

It is not known whether the people of Shunyi were so angry that they reported the incident, or whether Wei Zhongxian heard something.

Wei Zhongxian, who had gained power due to his great achievement in raising grain, instructed the eunuch party's mouthpiece to jointly report Liang Shijie.

Oh my god, this is going to cost your life.

When Wei Zhongliang was raising grain, he often complained to the emperor that the Donglin Party and the powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River jointly resisted the grain collection, causing the grain collection to be delayed again and again.

The emperor had been patient again and again because of the impending war, but when the Di Lu retreated, the emperor could no longer tolerate it.

He directly issued an order to execute the entire family of Liang Shijie and canceled the trial by the three judicial departments.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the Feiyu Guards were dispatched and all the more than 30 members of the Liang family were taken to the West Market Gate.

The onlookers were very excited and shouted in unison: "Behead! Behead! Behead~" Stones, rotten vegetables, and dog shit rained down on Liang Shijie.

Liang Shijie's hair was disheveled and his face was ashen. At the moment when his head was about to fall to the ground, he saw Lai Fu kneeling in the distance with tears in his eyes.

The guillotine fell, and in the moment when the scene rotated, he thought of Huang Chengren again - the hard-working yellow-skinned man.

I realized at the end of my life that all this was retribution.
