Deng City, Youzhou.
This was a county town on the edge of Youzhou, just like Xiang County.
This city had been breached two days ago.
The streets of the city were filled with the corpses of the Han people.
The blood dyed the ground red, then dried under the sun, turning it dark brown.
Flies were flying everywhere in the city.
From time to time, vultures would circle in the sky, trying to eat the flesh of the corpses.
There were dogs running around on the street.
Their eyes were red because they had eaten human flesh.
Originally, these dogs were all raised by the people of the county town. It was impossible for them to eat human flesh.
But one of the ways the Turkic soldiers enjoyed themselves was to kill all the owners of dogs in front of the dogs, then place the dogs and their corpses in the same room.
The dog had no food and was starving, so it could only eat its master.
After they had eaten, the Turks opened the gates and let them eat as much as they wanted on the streets.
It just so happened that there were too many corpses and flies flying around, which would easily lead to an epidemic.
The problem would be solved if the dogs ate them.
Deng County had already been massacred.
The remaining commoners in the city were all young and strong. They were treated as spoils of war and prisoners, and were imprisoned in the county government prison.
They were the slaves of the Turks.
......
The best residence in the county, other than the rich merchants, was the county magistrate's residence.
The county magistrate of Deng City and County Magistrate Yu of Xiang County could be said to be two completely different kinds of people.
The county magistrate's surname was Cui, and it was said that he was a descendant of the Cui family of Qinghe who lived far away.
Usually, he was very keen to call himself a disciple of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.
However, everyone knew that if he was really a descendant of an aristocratic family, he would not have been assigned to the cold and bitter land of Youzhou as a county magistrate.
County Magistrate Cui's residence had become the residence of the Turkic soldiers.
The courtyard in his residence was also an excellent place to kill.
On both sides of the courtyard were well-kept flowerbeds. Whenever the Turkic soldiers captured commoners and killed them for fun, County Magistrate Cui would personally drag the bodies of the dead commoners into the flowerbeds and order the servants to dig holes and fill them with soil.
At this moment, there were more than ten tied up commoners kneeling on the ground in the courtyard.
After each head was chopped off, County Magistrate Cui diligently handed over a washed handkerchief for the Turkic soldiers to wipe the scimitars clean.
"Sir, this lowly peasant's body is really good fertilizer!”
His fat face was already oozing with sweat under the scorching sun, but he didn't seem to notice it as he smiled and chatted with the Turks.
"This lowly official has been burying them in the flowerbed these past few days. The growth of these flowers has improved a lot!”
Hearing County Magistrate Cui's flattering words, the commander of the Turkic soldiers couldn't help but laugh.
"You Han are really interesting! Aren't you afraid that you'll be killed by us one day?”
County Magistrate Cui hurriedly knelt down and said,"
"This lowly official is truly loyal to the Turks and is willing to do anything for them.”
"Bah!"
Before the officer could speak, a woman among the kneeling civilians spat.
Everyone's gaze turned over.
The woman sneered,
"If he can help you kill the people of the Great Tang for his own life today, he can kill you for his own life in the future. Do you dare to use such a person?!”
County Magistrate Cui was furious. He picked up a scimitar from the ground and rushed over, pressing it against the woman's neck.
The Turkic commander pulled his hand that was about to exert strength.
"Sigh, County Magistrate Cui, don't be anxious. It would be a pity if we don't have a taste of such an interesting woman.”
County Magistrate Cui knew what he wanted to do when he heard this. He quickly smiled and said,
"Yes, yes, yes, this lowly official was reckless. This lowly official will send her to a room for you to enjoy.”
The woman was obviously from a well-off family. She had a delicate appearance and spoke in an orderly manner.
Upon hearing this, her face revealed a hint of disdain.
"You, a rough man, dare to covet me? My family of more than 40 people were all killed by you barbarians because this dog official colluded with the enemy and secretly opened the city gate! My last words in this world are to make your Turks and this dog official die a horrible death!!!”
After saying that, she stretched her neck.
He had actually stretched his neck out to be killed by County Magistrate Cui's blade!
County Magistrate Cui hurriedly threw away the knife in his hand as if he was afraid of being tainted by bad luck.
The Turkic commander then turned his gaze to the servant girl beside the woman.
His eyes were filled with desire.
This servant girl was obviously following her young miss and had an extremely tough temper.
"Pah! You lowly people dare to look at us Han women?”
The Turkic officer's face froze as he raised his leg and kicked!
This kick used 100% of her strength. The maidservant was kicked half to death, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"My young miss is right. You Turks and this dog official will all suffer retribution!”
She struggled to finish this sentence and then closed her eyes and lay on the ground.
He didn't move anymore.
All the Turks and County Magistrate Cui wore mocking smiles.
At this moment!
On the walls, the bugle horns of the Turkic soldiers sounded!
In the distance, a flag with the words "Li Yi" was raised!
