Chapter 129: Acting on behalf of Heaven

Su Xing reached out and scooped, and the three strong men in front holding heavy weapons fell into his hands, and then he rubbed them into a meat ball with a casual rub.

He lifted the meat ball and threw it toward the city wall. With a *slap*, the meat ball exploded into meat sauce, and at least twenty soldiers on the city wall were pierced by the bone shards exploded by the meat sauce, screaming and falling to the ground, dying slowly.

By this point, everyone on the entire battlefield who dared to stand, dared to hold weapons, and dared to try to escape or attack had all died.

The city wall was kicked down by Su Xing, and the city gate was lifted by him and smashed into the city lord's mansion. The entire town was silent, but there was no chaos, because any soldier who dared to set fires, run around, or roar everywhere had all been killed by Su Xing.

The captured barbarians were all kneeling and kowtowing, each calling out to the Eternal Heaven, gods, and the like. Su Xing didn't pay attention to them, just walked to a captive camp, gently pried open the locked cage with his hand, and said to the dozens of people inside, "Besides you, are there any Song people?"

These dozens of people had already been scared to the point of peeing. Each of them was covered in feces and urine. Seeing Su Xing walking toward them, they thought this madman was killing with such excitement that he was going to turn them into meat balls too.

Everyone saw everything that had just happened.

The city lord, who was also the military master of this military town, knew of Su Xing's arrival and immediately led the military and city dignitaries to come. Seeing from afar, he rolled off his horse. This could not be said to be disrespectful, but Su Xing didn't even say half a word to him, raised his hand and directly blew his head off, and then everyone who dared to raise troops, dared to escape, dared to set fires in the chaos, dared to rob, dared to kill indiscriminately, was killed by him on the spot.

Less than a second per hundred meters, he casually slapped and smashed people, horses, and armor directly. He lifted a log with a diameter of several meters outside the city and threw it far away. Above the city wall was a series of meat pancakes. As for closing the city gate, he directly kicked a gap in the city wall, then tore the city gate with both hands and threw it far into the city lord's mansion, blowing up a series of buildings.

This was no longer a battle that mortals should face. Even if someone wanted to escape, wanted to set fires and rob in the chaos, they couldn't even see Su Xing's figure. They were either smashed to death by various things from afar, or they were turned into meat balls and meat mud when Su Xing approached...

A northern heavy town with at least three thousand soldiers, a strong army of northern uprisings that had only joined the Great Song for a short time, had at least a thousand people killed in less than ten minutes. The remaining people were all kneeling and lying on the ground, not daring to escape, not daring to stand, not daring to speak or raise their heads. This had been completely scared out of their wits, and after that, they didn't even dare to go to the battlefield, completely abolished.

Su Xing wasn't angry, and asked again, "Besides you, are there any Song people?"

Among these dozens of people, there were those with slightly more courage. It was a young man, dressed slightly better, only his face and body were embarrassed, with scars. He immediately stepped forward a few steps and said, "We are Song people, originally there were others, but they were all killed..."

Su Xing nodded, signaling these people to walk out of the open-air prison. He didn't dislike them for being dirty and smelly, just approached and asked, "Why were you captured? This is far from the Song Dynasty territory, right?"

These dozens of people looked at each other, and another middle-aged man bowed and said, "The immortal doesn't know, we are a merchant caravan holding the official salt permit..."

In the middle-aged man's description, they were a type of Song Dynasty merchant, carrying a caravan to transport grain to the border areas, sending grain to the border towns and armies, and then obtaining salt shares from the Song Dynasty imperial court's salt production area, and then selling salt to make a profit.

"... This place was not originally our Song Dynasty territory, but recently various places have rebelled, all hanging the Song Dynasty flag, all respecting the official family as emperor, all saying they are Great Song, and the official family and the prime ministers all feel that they cannot chill the hearts of these righteous people. Prime Minister Zong also feels that this matter is feasible, so our merchant caravans sending grain to the border towns have to enter outside the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun."

The young man said hatefully, "But these are barbarians, they don't understand any etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and shame. Seeing our caravan purchase some goods from outside the Great Wall along the way, they immediately had evil thoughts, looted us, and even wanted to kill us. If it weren't for the immortal's arrival, we would have no hope of returning to our hometown!"

Su Xing was silent for a while, and said to these dozens of people, "You go find some horses, ask those soldiers to take back your goods, and return to the Song Dynasty yourself."

Dozens of people were all grateful. Just as they turned to leave, Su Xing looked at the tens of thousands of captives around him, and suddenly asked, "Are there any Han people in here?"

Dozens of people were stunned, and for a while, they didn't understand what Su Xing meant. Su Xing asked solemnly, "Northern Han people, Han people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, are there any in here?"

Many people were still blank. The young man stood out and bowed, "Yes, but immortal... their lives are not good now. The official family... no, the imperial court seems to be hesitating whether to recognize them. Many prime ministers think that they have actually become barbarians. Also, those who enter our Huaxia are Huaxia, and those who go out of our Huaxia are barbarians. Before, I heard that many village elders came from the north, but the prime ministers in the imperial court could not see them..."

Su Xing's face was angry, his hair was a bit upright, but he still said warmly to the young man, "Help me point out which of these are Northern Han people, thank you for your hard work, little brother."

The young man was shocked and bowed repeatedly, but he didn't dare to admit it at all.

The clerks and stewards he brought were quite familiar with the north, and immediately began to take people to distinguish the Han people among the captives.

At this time, the young man respectfully said to Su Xing, "The immortal went to the far north, and hasn't heard any news for several days."

Su Xing replied casually, "Went to hunt down the remnants of the Jin people... Let's not talk about this, I ask you, where is Zong Ze now? Is he in Bianliang?"

The young man looked around and said in a low voice, "Prime Minister Zong is naturally in Bianliang... It's just that Bianliang is unstable, and party strife has arisen in the imperial court. This is not something we small people can talk about much."

Su Xing nodded silently. Soon, as some people distinguished, some could speak Chinese, and some were identified by yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair, Su Xing could only generally confirm that some people were Han people. Whether there were any barbarians pretending to be them, he couldn't care less. He immediately found a good place, concentrated these two thousand Han men, women, old and young together, and said loudly, "Now, I set you free."

"You can decide your destination at will. If you want to occupy this city, I will leave it to you. If you want to return to your original mountains and villages, you can leave. If you stay, the weapons, city walls, and various facilities in this city belong to you. I don't understand anything else, and I can't manage much, but I can only promise you that I will let the Song Dynasty give you national treatment as soon as possible. Whether in the north or south, as long as they are Han people, they are all the same!"

Su Xing thought he didn't have much culture, and wasn't the material for politics. After saying all this, he thought for a while, turned and came to the town, walked to the high place of the city wall and shouted angrily, "All soldiers of this town, assemble in the school grounds! I give you five minutes, no more!"

This voice echoed through the town, but for a while, no one dared to move. Su Xing naturally didn't care, just pried off city wall rocks on the city wall, lifted them and threw them at the places where there were many kneeling and lying soldiers. Suddenly, there was a ghost crying and wolf howling, and soon, these soldiers were all trembling and concentrated on the school grounds.

Su Xing jumped to the front of the school grounds in a few steps, and said loudly, "You still have more than two thousand people. I am leaving immediately, so I can't manage it later. I am afraid you will kill all the Han people here to vent your anger, so I give you two choices. First, you can attack me collectively now, and I will kill you all, once and for all."

"Second, now in your own team, draw one out of five, and those drawn will be killed. You do it yourself. After killing, I will let the rest go."

"I give you ten seconds, choose!"

A while later, Su Xing left the blood-stained school grounds. The remaining barbarian soldiers were no longer a concern.

There were more than two thousand Northern Han people. They were extremely brave to be able to live in this northern region, and their bones were not soft. With Su Xing's slaughter and promise, these Han people organized quickly in units of families, then villages as a collective, and several nearby villages as a township group, led by the remaining village elders.

However, Su Xing didn't know what happened next. He took the scared Daphne, with Jiu Jiu standing on his shoulder, and strode south overnight.

!

Now the entire north had become the territory of the Song Dynasty in name.

But Su Xing discovered along the way that it was only in name. There were remnants of the Jin people, but not many. Liao nobles were the most restored, changing a banner and still acting as blessings, and even grassland barbarians took the opportunity to kill into the north, occupying cities and also hitting the Song Dynasty flag, and actually gained the recognition of the imperial court.

The key was that this recognition also sent grain and goods. From the words of a state official Su Xing killed, those who brought troops to "rebel," a thousand people were a grade, given how much silver and grain, five thousand people were a grade, ten thousand people were a grade. To this step, besides money and grain, there were even other official positions and titles, county masters, and even princesses could be married...

All this really made Su Xing's lungs explode.

I desperately killed the northern giant demon, reversed your mother's Jingkang shame, how many people died in Bianliang, how many loyal soldiers died, originally thought there was at least a new future, but the result was to change a statement, change a form, and continue to offer, continue to give money, give grain, give women!?"

No way, I am not the material for politics, military, and culture, and I don't know how to solve this mess in the north, so only one method is feasible...

Kill!

Only kill!

Starting from the border of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the north, Su Xing killed all the way!

Those who enslave, plunder, and rob Song people and Han people, kill!

Those who are not Song people, not Han people, and at the same time declare themselves local rulers, kill!

Those who send money and grain to the barbarians of the Great Song side, not people but officials, kill!

In just two days, the entire north collapsed, and a large number of barbarians abandoned everything and fled into the grassland, the far north forest, the desert...

And at this moment, I don't know where Su Xing got a white big flag, on which four characters were written in blood, and he drove straight to Bianliang from the official road blatantly.

"Acting on behalf of Heaven!"
