Chapter 668: Taishou is willing to be killed
"Envoy Yan, King Yong has come to visit you personally!"
Knowing that King Yong planned to persuade Yan Jingzhi to surrender, his attitude towards him as a military official was much better. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But Yan Jingzhi didn't even raise his eyelids after hearing this, and hung his head half-leaning and half-sitting. It wasn't until the military officer shouted three times in a row that he barely raised his head, his eyes were like fire, and after making eye contact with him, Li Lan felt that he was burned.
"Yan's legs are broken, please forgive me for not getting up and saluting!"
Yan Jingzhi's voice was hard, but his words were finally polite, and he didn't scold others like that.
Li Lan knew that the more loyal this kind of person was, the more difficult it was to tame, so he patiently appeased. He saw that Yan Jingzhi's legs were indeed covered with a linen mattress that could not be seen in its true color, so he leaned over and lifted it, and the rancid smell suddenly hit his nose, almost fainting him, and he was startled again when he looked at it.
I saw that the trousers on Yan Jingzhi's legs had already been torn, the flesh and blood on them were blurred, and there was a wound that was even deep to the bone, and the flies in the cell smelled blood and pounced on it.
Li Lan couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve, he planned to order someone to dispose of Yan Jingzhi's wound, but when he looked at it again, he found that there were milky white maggots wriggling in the wound that had gradually rotted, and finally couldn't help it anymore, turned his head and vomited.
It was only at this time that a trace of complexity crossed Yan Jingzhi's stiff face. The literati officials all have extremely strong self-esteem, and now they are in such a miserable situation that they are not even as good as beggars, and the resentment and embarrassment in their hearts can be imagined.
"Yan is already crippled and dying, so why should King Yong frighten himself?"
After a long time, Li Lan regained his composure, wiped his mouth with a delicate silk handkerchief, and said in a heart-wrenching tone:
"This king never expected that Yan Envoy Jun's injury would be so serious, and this king will definitely ask the best wounded doctor to heal Jun's injured leg...... However, if you have great talents, why can't you calm the northern captives with this king and create immortal achievements?"
Yan Jingzhi seemed thoughtful, and suddenly said:
"King Yong fell in love with Yan by mistake, if Yan really has the ability to mess up, why did he end up like this?"
Li Lan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer, he also felt that Yan Jingzhi's words had some truth, if this person really had the ability, even if he couldn't defend Danyang, it would be more than enough to save his life and escape! At this time, he remembered Li Xiyan, the Taishou of Wujun who had escaped with his life again, and couldn't help but secretly say, it seems that this person is a capable person, worthy of being the great-grandson of Gaozu.
After being stunned for a moment, Li Ling overheard Yan Jingzhi asking him to speak closer, so he subconsciously leaned over. Suddenly, Yan Jingzhi jumped up violently, and his arms strangled Li Luan's neck.
"Rebellious ministers and thieves, disloyal and unfilial, even if Yan is rotten into rotten flesh inch by inch, he will not surrender to you!"
"You, you...... Come on, come on, save ......"
Li Ling was suddenly frightened, and he couldn't even speak, only feeling that Yan Jingzhi's hands were like iron tongs, pinching his neck, and it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe.
At this time, the entourage and military officials who followed Li Lan rushed up, and they wanted to drag Yan Jingzhi, who suddenly went crazy, off Li Lan's body, but Yan Jingzhi may have burst out with all his strength, and a group of people failed to get rid of him. In the end, the jailer in charge of guarding was ruthless, picked up the military stick with a thin wrist and smashed it towards Yan Jingzhi's north.
Yan Jingzhi's eyes were about to run out, so he opened his mouth to show Bai Sensen's teeth, and bit down on Li Ling's neck.
Yes!
The pig-like howl almost lifted the roof of the cell, but fortunately, Yan Jingzhi was already unconscious after the third blow to the baton. Looking at Yongwang Li Lan's neck has long been dripping with blood.
Everyone was frightened by the sudden change, and saw that Li Luan was half covered in blood, and he didn't know the severity of his injury, if Yan Jingzhi's bite broke the blood vessel, I was afraid that the person would be hopeless.
After some examination, it was found that Li Lan was fine, but he bit off a piece of meat the size of an egg on his neck.
Although there was no danger to his life, pain was inevitable, and the pain made Li Lan's snot and tears all over his face.
Yan Jingzhi did not repent of his death, resisted to the end, and attacked and injured King Yong, so naturally there was no reason to live, and he was sentenced to beheading. Li Hao, the king of Xiangcheng, personally supervised the execution, and the execution site was set up in the east city of the city, and the onlookers became mountains and seas. The Taishou of this county was sentenced to beheading, and it was in the name of rebellion, which was more of a curiosity for the people of Jiangnan.
They did not feel the horror and lethality of war. After all, King Yong takes the management of Jiangnan as the first priority, and he has no offense against the people.
The so-called punishment of beheading is that the executioner uses a sharp axe to cut the victim in two, and the victim cannot die for a while, watching his intestines and internal organs slide out, and endure the torture of the ghosts and gods screaming for it. If the executioner's hand is unfamiliar, or the axe is not sharp enough, and he fails to cut it once, he will have to cut it two or three times, which is a torture that ordinary people can never imagine. Historically, the famous minister Chao Cuo of the former Han Dynasty Emperor Jing was punished by this punishment and died.
Early the next morning, Yan Jingzhi's head was cut off and hung on a high pole on the wharf by the Yangtze River. Passing ships on the river, as well as pedestrians on the shore, can be seen from afar.
The soldiers guarding the shore didn't know that the people on a small boat in the center of the river were looking at the blackened and smelly heads on the high pole from a distance, and their eyes were about to split. Soon, there was no difference between the boat and the boat on the river, and it hurried upstream, and about half a day later, it entered a water village next to Yangzijin.
This is the place where Huainan interviewed Li Chengshi's troops, and fled here after the defeat of Jiangdu. Before learning that Yan Jingzhi was captured and tortured, he had already sent his generals to divide his troops into two ways to garrison Yaojin to delay time and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court. Among them, the infantry army made Pei Rong garrison Guabu Prefecture, and Li Shenqing led the horse army to attack Jinling County and Wu County to clamp down on Li Luan's army in Danyang.
"The heroism of Yan Envoy Jun's death will go down in history and be immortal through the ages, don't be sad, grit your teeth and hold on, the reinforcements of the imperial court are coming!"
Yan Jingzhi's death dealt a deep blow to Li Chengshi's troops, and their morale plummeted, and deserters appeared every day. However, the misfortune is not a single line, the blessing is incomparable, and soon another bad news came back to Yangzijin, Li Shenqing led the horse army to surrender to the Yongwang Li Lan. Moreover, who surrendered with Li Shenqing, there was also Yuan Jingyao, the general of Wu County's Taishou Li Xiyan.
All of a sudden, the two strongest forces in the Jiangnan East Province against King Yong had the momentum of complete collapse. However, Li Chengshi's side is locked with only more than 2,000 troops, and it is difficult to guarantee self-protection, let alone take the initiative. The envoy sent to Chang'an has already been on the road three times, and he doesn't know when he can expect to hear back.
At this time, Chang'an City has gradually restored the atmosphere before the war, including the traces left after the war outside the city. From Tongguan to Chang'an, hundreds of destroyed beacons were also repaired one by one. This beacon that stretches for hundreds of miles is the key means to warn Chang'an.
It is different from the ordinary beacon fire warning and ignition, it is used to report peace. Every day after sunset, the defenders of Tongguan would light beacons on the beacons, and then the beacons would be lit west along the beacons until Chang'an.
This kind of beacon fire is called Ping'an fire, which has not been extinguished in the Tang Dynasty for more than 100 years, and it was extinguished for the first time in last year. At that time, Li Longji also found that the peace fire was not lit, so he secretly escaped from Chang'an City overnight with his cronies and ministers.
After Qin Jin inspected a few beacons, he couldn't help but sigh:
"The first time this thing came in handy, it was actually used as a warning means to escape, if the founder of the original establishment of the beacon fire to report peace has knowledge, how should he feel?"
Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan has always traveled with Qin Jin to inspect, and when he saw that Qin Jin actually mentioned the Emperor Taishang, he kindly reminded:
"Doctor say carefully, now the emperor doesn't even dare to say whether the emperor has merit or not, let alone those of us who are courtiers?"
Qin Jin smiled and changed the topic:
"I'm wondering if there is another way to enhance the communication between Tongguan and Chang'an, so that the communication speed is much faster than this time-consuming and laborious Fengsui!"
Beacon communication is already the fastest, most effective, and most stable way in this era, and there is no other way, but Cui Guangyuan knows that Qin Jin has always had wonderful ideas, and he thought that he had thought of some good ideas.
"Is there a better way to communicate with the doctor?"
Qin Jin did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically:
"If I say that there is a tool that can transmit messages thousands of miles or even thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye, and can send feedback back instantly, can Da Yin believe it?"
"This, this...... Can there really be such a thing in the world? I'm afraid the gods in the sky can't do it......"
Cui Guangyuan blinked in disbelief, for the first time he felt that Qin Jin was whimsical, what could transmit sound for thousands of miles in an instant? This kind of thing is not something that even the legendary immortals can do.
Qin Jin was in a burst of interest for a while, and said:
"Not only in terms of sound transmission, even if you communicate with people thousands of miles away, you can communicate with each other, just like you and I are communicating between you and me here. ”
Cui Guangyuan couldn't understand this kind of statement that was contrary to common sense, but when he saw that what Qin Jin said was serious, he didn't mean to joke at all, and he couldn't help but contemplate.
Qin Jin suddenly sighed lightly:
"Da Yin thinks that it is difficult for immortals to do it, but in that world, for an ordinary person, it is also an ordinary thing......"
Cui Guangyuan raised his eyes to look at Qin Jin, feeling that this person seemed to be forever covered with a veil, as if there were many secrets. Although there is no basis, he has always been confident and intuitive, and he has not missed anything. However, after a few turns of thought, I suddenly realized that if everyone in the future can communicate so conveniently, can there still be secrets in this world?
For example, the secret news in the palace does not need to be taken out at all, but only needs to be transmitted by the method of instant messaging.
"Even if there is such a method of instant communication in the world that the doctor said, the court there will definitely restrict it, otherwise, it will not be easy for the rebels to do something?"
