Guangyang County was located at the border between Summer Province and Qinzhou Province. It was the dividing line between the Great Tang and Daliang.
The Eighteen Rebel Kings were either destroyed by the Great Sui or executed by the Great Tang. However, there was still one person alive among the Eighteen Rebel Kings. He ruled the entire Summer State and called himself the King of Liang, Liang Shidu.
Liang Shidu is backed by the Turks, and although the Great Tang has just been established, it has many things to do. Thus, we do not have the ability to deal with the Turks.
As the lackeys of the Turks, Liang Shidu of the Summer Prefecture didn't have the energy to deal with them.
At the border between Summer Province and Qinzhou Province, two horses, one red and one white, were galloping on the official road.
On the fiery red horse, a man squinted his eyes. His face was red like dates, and his long beard was like a waterfall. He looked extremely fierce. This man was none other than Guan Yunzhang.
On the other white horse, a white robe was fluttering in the wind. Although he was not as mighty as Guan Yunzhang, he gave off a valiant feeling.
This person was none other than the leader of Autumn Wind Stronghold, Ye Qiu.
Because the compensation agreement with the Great Tang had been signed, and less than two days after Wei Zheng left, a steady stream of silver was transported from Long Nan Road to Autumn Wind Stronghold.
Therefore, Ye Qiu and Guan Yunzhang rushed to Guangyang County.
After all, when he had subdued Guan Yunzhang, he had promised Guan Yunzhang that he would seek justice for him and the 30,000 souls in Guangyang County. Since the matter over there had been settled, it was time to settle the matter here.
"My lord, this is the border of Guangyang County. If you walk another mile, you will reach the Summer Prefecture. When I was still a vanguard officer in Guangyang County, I saw the tyranny of King Guangyang here.”
Guan Yu opened his eyes and looked at the scorched earth in front of him. His eyes were filled with sorrow.
This place was barren, and the sky on both sides of the dirt road was also in a mess. It was supposed to be harvest season, but there was no sign of human habitation at this time.
In front of them was a village. To be precise, it was a village that had been abandoned for a long time. The village was in a mess and dilapidated. The land in the village was covered in dark red marks.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was the mark of dried blood.
" My lord, although this was originally the border, there were many people in the village. Ever since the massacre, no one was left in the village within a radius of ten miles. Now, it has become like this..."
Before he could finish, Guan Yu could not help but sigh.
After all, he was also a general under Lord Guangyang. Although he did not participate in the massacre, he had witnessed the inhumane massacre with his own eyes.
"That King Guangyang is inhumane. In order to gain more military merits, he killed 30,000 innocent people at the border. 30,000 innocent people were said to be 30,000 traitors of the Summer State and brought to the imperial court to claim credit.”
Guan Yu got off his horse and knelt in front of Ye Qiu.
"Lord, please seek justice for the 30,000 innocent souls at the border.
His words were sincere, completely unlike the peerless general who usually had a murderous aura.
At this moment, Guan Yu looked like an ordinary person who had no place to seek justice.
Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Ye Qiu could not help but clench his fists.
Although he did not see the tragic scene of the massacre of 30,000 people, from the abandoned village in front of him and the bloody smell that could not be dispersed even after such a long time, the scene of 30,000 innocent people screaming and begging for mercy naturally appeared in his mind.
"This Li Hancheng, I must kill him.”Ye Qiu said coldly.
The two of them continued to move forward. After about ten miles, they suddenly heard a battle cry coming from ahead.
"Kill, kill all these lowly people and use their heads to exchange for wine.”A burst of violent laughter rang out from the front.
The two of them hurriedly rode their horses over. Before they could go far, they saw two people covered in blood running out from ahead.
It was a young couple, both in their twenties. Both of them were dressed as farmers. The young farmer held a fork in his hand, and two arrows pierced his back. The arrows pierced through his chest, dyeing his entire body red.
Even though he had suffered a fatal injury, the young farmer had always firmly protected his wife under his body, using his back to block the killing move behind her.
"Run, run!"
The young farmer spat out blood as he spoke weakly.
Although the wife in his arms was covered in blood, there were actually no wounds on her body. The blood on her body was all from her husband.
The young woman's face was covered in tears, but her eyes were filled with determination. She hugged her child tightly in her arms. Only then did she realize that there was a child in her arms.
At this moment, perhaps due to excessive bleeding, the young farmer could not hold on any longer. He fell to his knees with a thud. Even so, he still firmly protected his wife and children in his arms.
"Xiao Cui, protect Wei 'er. He's the last person left in our Yang Family Village.”
The young farmer said incoherently and turned around to look behind him.
Da da da da…
The sound of horse hooves gradually rose, and a black line slowly drew closer behind them. It was a team of cavalrymen in the uniform of the Tang army. On both sides of each horse were all kinds of unbelievable bloody heads.
"Run, run, the hope of our Yang Family Village is on you.”
As he spoke, the young farmer stood up, trembling, and placed the rusted fork that he usually used to fork the grass across his chest. Then, he staggered with each step and walked towards the charging cavalry with a determined expression.
"Demons, I will fight you to the death."
The young farmer shouted.
"I didn't expect this bastard to be so good at running. Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily.”
The leader of the cavalrymen revealed a bitter smile, and the saber in his hand was already raised high.
The horse was getting closer and closer, and the determination on the young farmer's face became even stronger.
At this moment, a red warhorse and a sharp Guan Dao suddenly appeared like a gust of wind or fire.
