Chapter Seventy-Six: The Murderer

The armor-covered army withdrew according to Han Sui's strategy, and there was silence in the Luoyang City market at night. Two armored sergeants with torches on the corner of the street chatted listlessly about the generals in Luoyang Prison.

There are too many topics in Luoyang these days, and the former ghosts on the execution ground in the south of the city have not yet been dispersed, and now new ghosts have been added. In accordance with the law, the auxiliary generals executed those thieves besieging Luoyang at a rate of 100 people a day, and the execution ground was full of blood every day...... These thieves could not save their lives, and could only be executed in batches.

Although the prisoners who escaped from the Montenegrin army were somewhat wronged, the execution of the Montenegrin sergeants was absolutely resentful.

They are the brave men of the Montenegrin army, and if they are given a way to live again, they will become a great disaster. They have even done such things as besieging the imperial city, so what else in this world do they dare not do?

It was a time of cruelty, and the longer Ma lived, the more accustomed he became to this cruelty.

The Han Dynasty seems to be the most civilized country in the world, and a civilized country should not be associated with cruelty. But in this era, it is really cruel, and this cruelty is not the cruelty of people eating each other, but it is more terrible than those pictures.

In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Guangli, the general of the second division, first conquered Dawan, with 6,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of evil boys in each army. Emperor Wu was furious, Li Guangli did not dare to return and stayed in Dunhuang. Xia, the Han Xiongnu army was defeated, Emperor Wu re-attacked Dawan, sent 60,000 troops, and countless people who prepared their own grain and grass armor, this battle was 100,000 cattle, 30,000 horses, countless donkeys and camels, and the momentum was huge.

In this war, there is a little thing, which is only mentioned in the book. There used to be a country called Luntai in the Western Regions, because of the resistance to the army, the country was broken in a moment, followed by the proud anger of the Han army...... Bloodbath.

Thirty years later, the descendants of Luntai Kingdom restored the country on the old site and named it Wulei.

Wulei State was built on the ruins of the Luntai Kingdom, located in the middle of the Western Regions, with 110 households and 1,200 people.

Wulei, without walls.

The cruelty of this era lies in the disregard for life. Whether it is a township or a county, the people who wield the power of the army will easily erase everything from the map because of their madness, and chickens, sheep, cows, horses, from children to the elderly, will be transformed into rivers of blood between the swing and chopping of the sword.

Under the influence of Cai Yong, as the power in his hands became greater and more, and the soldiers and horses under his command increased, Ma Yue became more and more interested in historical books.

Because he knows that his every move will be seen by future generations...... Through the words in the book, those who were born in another familiar and strange era will criticize and evaluate him with a value that is very different from this era. A hundred years later, Ma Junhao turned into dry bones in the grave, and people will guess what kind of person he is based on the few words written by those historians.

Although that wasn't him at all.

But those men who do nothing about cause and effect, and who can talk about their merits and demerits based on what they do, will never have the life of a man in writing, no more the dilemma of wielding a sword, the fear of putting himself in a desperate position to climb the heights of power for the sake of the ideal world in his heart, and the fear of shooting a crossbow at an assassin's knife hand for the first time...... All that's left is just an ambitious man wielding his butcher's knife again and again.

Without mercy, these mercys do not appear in the canon.

Without sympathy, those sympathies would not appear in the canon.

There is no warmth, and there will be no record historian beside him at the moment of warmth.

What was left was only the slaughter of the Yellow Turban Army, before the eunuchs presented their heads to the emperor, and then there was the captain of Changshui who bowed down in the West Garden. Left behind an auxiliary general and the Marquis of Meiyang, who killed the general of the foreign relatives of the dynasty and ascended the throne with a testament to defend the new emperor. Or the heroic state pastor who was driven to the northwest by the coalition of princes, and Taoguang Yanghui finally swept away the entire Liangzhou rebellion with strong troops and horses.

There are no such things as those who lie deep at the desk and are preoccupied.

On the seventh day of the blockade of Luoyang, Ma Yue and his brother Ma Teng were drunk until dusk, and two drunks carried wine jars to wander on the empty streets of Luoyang City, smashed open a wine shop, stole four jars of Du Kang's old wine, and secretly followed the sergeants who guarded behind the two to leave a large amount of money in the dilapidated wine shop...... None of this kind of thing will be recorded in the history books.

Even Ma Yue didn't remember when he woke up, he only remembered that he drank happily with his brother for a day and night, which calmed his brother's pain a little.

Books record, not choices, only results.

Like, those who die after they die...... Except for a few words, there is not the slightest thing left.

What Ma Yue wants is to leave a lot of things in the world after a hundred years, so that people can always think of him and record his existence.

……

Fish, it's time to take the bait.

"General, I caught a few more people today, Captain Gan invites you to go to Luoyang Prison to have a look." The armored sergeant tied the horse in front of the mansion gate, walked all the way to Ma Yue, who was sitting in the courtyard reading, and bowed his hand and said, "It seems that the few people caught today are not simple. ”

"Oh?" Ma Yue did not hesitate when he received the news, and rushed to Luoyang Prison.

These days, a few people will be caught every day, since the soldiers and horses on the street were withdrawn and only the secret posts and a few clear posts were left, people have become bolder, some of them are out of the house to buy things due to lack of food, some are out to deliver messages, and the most, it is still those who are greedy for people's wealth and left behind when the Montenegrin army attacked the palace gate...... Most of these wicked people were caught in the south of the city, and the armor army that captured them followed them to the place where they lived, and they often saw the tragedy of the slaughterer. It is also the easiest to treat this kind of person, and send them directly to the south of the city to let them reunite with the robe.

Before sending it to be beheaded, it may be ruthlessly cleaned up by the armored sergeant, this kind of thing is very happy, and Ma Yue, Gan Ning and other generals will turn a blind eye.

Neither approve nor criticize.

Although they have also harmed civilians when wars have gone uncontrollable, it has been war. Even if everyone knows that war has nothing to do with the people, it is inevitable that it will affect the fish in the pond. But at least, they know it's wrong.

All the way to the horse, today's Luoyang market is very empty, even if there are people are his Ma Yue's descendant army, there is nothing to fear, the horse galloped on the street, straight to Luoyang Prison.

Seeing Ma Yue coming, Gan Ning quickly took two steps forward to take the reins of Ma Yue, and said while tying the horse to the pile: "General, I caught three people last night, and Hou said that one of them was next to Hou Xuan and the other was next to Que Xuan, and later the two of them had a conflict, which led to Hou Xuan's death and the four armies fighting. ”

"Found someone?" Ma Yue ignored the sergeant next to Luoyang Prison when he heard this, and walked into the prison quickly, "Where is it!" ”

Gan Ning glanced at Ma Yue, and obviously felt that the lord had waited for this result for too long, and hurriedly walked in front to explain the situation of the three of them clearly, and led the way: "Those few people began to be stubborn, and they were cleaned up to be honest, it was the two of them who provoked the fight, which was intended to confuse the four armies." But the other seemed to be very clean, and the letter felt that it would not be so simple, so he did not let it go. ”

Ma Yue knew that these three people were called Wei Yuanjin, Lu Weihuang, and Han Juzi.

"Don't let it go well, with these two people, this person will definitely not be able to do anything."

Pushing open the cell, Ma Yue saw the three people who were tied up by five flowers, frowned, Ma Yue pointed to one of them and said, "Leave this person, and the remaining two will be detained separately." ”

"Who is your name? What did you commit? ”

"Yuanjin, Yuanjin." Wei Yuanjin was beaten to the point that he was already getting more air and less breathing, squinting at Ma Yue and saying, "You are Ma Yue?" ”

'Bang', the armored army on his side wore an iron gauntlet and slapped it on Wei Yuanjin's face, Ma Yue raised his hand and said, "I asked, you answer, understand?" ”

"What is the relationship between you and Que Xuan, which of those two people is Lu Weihuang and which is Han Juzi?"

"Don't ask me, I won't say anything!" Although Wei Yuanjin was beaten half to death by the armored army, he still maintained the courage and responsibility of a man at this time, and said with a stiff neck: "Anyway, Lao Tzu is dead on the left and right, you can kill me!" Kill me! ”

Ma Yue glanced at Wei Yuanjin with some surprise, this man was a man, although he had always wanted his enemies to be instigated, but he always encountered all kinds of admirable opponents...... Too many enemies to be respected, and many times it can be a headache.

"Heh, kill you?" Ma Yue waved his hand and smiled: "I won't kill you, in fact, even if you don't say it, I know that it is nothing more than Yuan Benchu instructing you to provoke a war between the four armies, and it is best to push the armored army into a situation of no return, so that he can continue to live in the court." I don't care about this, I just want to know who killed my nephew, so if you tell me who it is, I won't kill you, and I'll let you live...... How is it? ”

"Hehe, will you let me go?" Wei Yuanjin smiled, pretended to look left and right mysteriously, and smiled at Ma Yue: "You come here, I'll tell you." ”

Ma Yue was a little suspicious, he admired this person's toughness, but now he regrets it just because of a way to live? He slowly leaned over and listened to Yuan Jin say, "Let me tell you, your nephew is ...... I don't care about you! ”

Suddenly heard the change of tone of Wei Yuanjin, Ma Yue hurriedly jumped back, and then saw Wei Yuanjin stiffen his head, he actually wanted to hit Ma Yue with his head, fortunately Ma Yue dodged quickly, otherwise I was afraid that he would really hit him. Ma Yue shook his head and said with an angry smile: "Okay, let you say that you don't say it, even if you don't say it, I know, the three of you divide the labor, you and Lu Weihuang provoked the melee between Liangzhou and Xuzhou, Han Juzi has thick arms, and at first glance he is a good hand at making a crossbow, and he shoots Xiu'er to death with a dark arrow, right or not!" ”

Ma Yue said this quickly and quickly, and in an instant, he saw the angry Wei Yuanjin's eyes widen in surprise, and he blurted out: "How do you know? ”

After speaking, he found that Ma Yue looked at him with a smile...... Hit the trick!
