Chapter 208: One Hundred Thousand Captives
For the death of his second uncle Zhang Bao, Zhang Ning has been fully psychologically prepared.
After all, she really dared to be powerless to return to the sky, and the entire Quyang City was surrounded by the imperial army, so what could she do to save her second uncle? What's more, after meeting the second uncle Zhang Bao, the second uncle had already shown his determination to die and was unwilling to live.
In addition, there are too many things that she can control and change as a woman.
People's hearts are fickle, and the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City is so complicated, and it is not something she can change.
Especially after he followed the bitter cockroach and overheard the private conspiracy of Zhang Niujiao, Huang Long and other Yellow Turban commanders, she had a deep sense of disappointment with the Yellow Turban Army from that time.
Of course, it was also thanks to Liu Xian that she had been vaccinated early, so that she had a new understanding of her Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army. made her still follow Liu Xian's instructions, and after entering Quyang City, she did not immediately openly disclose her identity, but secretly went to see Zhang Bao.
When she saw Zhang Bao this time, what made her happiest was that her relatives were always relatives. This second uncle has never become a disowning parent, and he still cares about her niece.
Because Liu Xian originally told her that even Zhang Bao needed to be careful, lest Zhang Bao be disown by his six relatives because of the Taiping Sutra, what should he do to her. Liu Xian's worries didn't really happen. These made Zhang Ning have a lot of Anwei.
But because of this, even if she was mentally prepared for Zhang Bao's death, it was still difficult to be happy at this time.
She still couldn't hold back her tears.
Liu Xian told her how Zhang Bao died.
Zhang Ning wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said hatefully: "Yan Zheng? I must kill him, don't kill her, avenge my second uncle, and swear not to be a man! ”
"Killing Yan Zheng is just a trivial matter, don't worry, I will also find a way to help you get rid of him." Liu Xian comforted her and said, "Now let's leave Quyang City first...... Well, by the way, you just said that you can't leave Quyang City yet, why? ”
Liu Xian said, remembering that Zhang Ning had just told him that she couldn't leave.
"Brother Xian, in fact, the second uncle has already made arrangements for others. She handed over some ownerless properties in Quyang City to others. Just like the places we have now, they will all belong to others in the future. The capture of Quyang City by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court should not be like to us ordinary residents, right? And the government of Quyang City will also be re-established, and people want to stay and deal with these properties left to me by my second uncle. ”
"Is that so? Are you sure there won't be any problems with these industries? In fact, these houses are not ours, and we can buy them if we want. Liu Xian felt that these housing properties did not belong to Zhang Ning anyway, so there was no need to occupy them.
"There is no problem, these housing industries have long been ownerless properties. It doesn't matter who it was, but after all, it was the second uncle who left it for me, so ......" Zhang Ning said, as if he had thought about it, and then as if he had made a decision, he slowly approached Liu Xian, and then buried himself in Liu Xian's chest, raised his head in Liu Xian's arms and said to Liu Xian: "Brother Xian, will you marry me?" ”
"Of course, we already have a marriage contract, even if we don't, I like you and will marry you." Liu Xian said affirmatively.
"Okay, they'll tell you." Zhang Ning looked at Liu Xian and said: "These properties are the dowry left by the second uncle to me, the real estate is only superficial, and the second uncle has hidden some money in these properties." Of course, in addition to this city, there is also a place outside the city where a large amount of money is hidden, all of which they have looted, and there is no place to spend it, so they are all hidden. ”
"What? Your second uncle Zhang Bao left money? A dowry for you? How many of them should there be? Liu Xian looked shocked.
The Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Bao has robbed a total of how much money, I'm afraid it's really hard to count, anyway, it should be a huge fortune of astronomical security. Now Zhang Bao gave Zhang Ning as her dowry?
"How many people don't know, but what they find in these houses is no less than millions of dollars. Because of this, there was a riot in the city, and some rebels wanted to break in, burn, kill and loot, so they had to take action to send those rebels. In order to make the government admit that these houses belong to other people in the future, they deliberately rescued all the people in the vicinity here, and when the government is rebuilt, these people can also testify to others and prove that these places are people's property. ”
After hearing this, Liu Xian came back to his senses from the shock, nodded silently and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I don't think there should be much of a problem for you to stay here." Now I know Huangfu Song and I have a little friendship. Now you won't have a problem if you don't leave with me. ”
"No, you don't need to do anything with them, when the time comes, even if they are the people of Quyang City, they can just take over these properties. Brother Xian, the people who came with the family at the beginning, there are still about 20 people outside the city, and now I don't know what happened. If it's okay, I'll let them come into the city when the time comes, and I'll be my nursing home first. Or, Brother Xian, you can also send more people. ”
"Yes, I'll leave someone behind to protect you." Liu Xian has no opinion.
"No, it's not for them to protect people. But after the people have handled the registration of these properties, they will quietly take out the money and send it to Liulin Village to you. ”
"Give it to me? What do you want me to do? These are all the money left to you by your second uncle. Liu Xian didn't want to be greedy for Zhang Ning's wealth.
Zhang Ning pinched Liu Xian's waist and said angrily: "Don't you want to marry someone?" What's mine yours? Second uncle, he said that he had given the dowry to others, so it's not the same as yours? What's more, you don't want to take back the throne? Don't want to go to the army to recapture this big Han country? How can you do it without money to recruit troops? These can be regarded as a little bit of support from others. People don't dare to ask for anything, just ask you to treat others well in the future. ”
"Ning'er ......"
Liu Xian couldn't help but be a little moved, such a huge amount of money, she gave it to herself without thinking about it. This is another beautiful kindness that cannot be disappointed.
He couldn't help but hug Zhang Ning hard.
"Don't worry, I won't fail you in this life and in this life. Not only will I not fail you, but I will definitely let you see a truly peaceful world. ”
Liu Xian said this, which can be regarded as a promise to Zhang Ning.
"Well, people remember what you say. In fact, all the money and things that the second uncle gave to others were ill-gotten gains. How can people really ask for it? But it's different for you, at least, you are now doing the work of rescuing and rescuing the people, and the money is in your hands, and in the end it is still acting on the people. Seriously, as long as these ill-gotten gains are used on the people, people's hearts will be at ease. ”
"Okay, then I'll laugh it off. I'll send someone to help you get the money out and send it to Liulin Village. However, this can't be rushed, at least after the imperial army of Huangfu Song and others leaves. In addition, this is also a top-secret matter, and now I can't let anyone know about it except you and me. ”
"People know."
This amount of money, I dare not say that it is rich and rivals the country, but the amount will definitely not be small, if Liu Xian gets it, then many of his plans can be carried out immediately.
However, if it is leaked out and let the officers and soldiers of the imperial court know, then Liu Xian may not want to get this wealth again.
Now that this is the case, it is not good for Liu Xian to continue to stay here.
After Liu Xian briefly talked about how he came to Quyang, he told Zhang Ning again, and then left here with Huang Zhong while there were no officers and soldiers coming to search here.
After leaving this block, Liu Xian wandered around the neighborhood for a while, confirming that there would be no more large-scale Yellow Turban thieves in this area, and after seeing that some major areas of the city had been controlled by officers and soldiers. Only then did Liu Xian leave the city and return to the camp.
After returning to the camp of officers and soldiers outside the city, there was nothing to do.
Of course, the fighting on the battlefield continues.
This war lasted from early morning to noon.
Just like in history, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated and Zhang Bao was killed, as long as a very small part of the Yellow Turban Army broke through from the west of Quyang City. Now there are officers and soldiers in pursuit.
A total of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers were killed by officers and soldiers, and more than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were also captured.
In addition, because the Yellow Turban Army broke through in the early morning, it did have a certain impact on the officers and soldiers, and they were like trapped beasts at the beginning, desperately culling, and later Zhang Bao's death also stimulated those Yellow Turban Army, making them bent on death, and just wanted to follow Zhang Bao together, so they were all afraid of death to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers.
The entire battlefield of Quyang City, from inside the city to outside the city, the battlefield expanded to a radius of tens or hundreds of miles.
Therefore, this war also caused great casualties to Huangfu Song's officers and soldiers.
By noon, the officers and soldiers of the court were in complete control, and there were sporadic battles, which were only chases.
Guo Dian also controlled Quyang City, but he had the heart to send a personal soldier to invite Liu Xian and them into the city.
Liu Xian was still a little worried about Zhang Ning's situation in the city, and was thinking of finding an excuse to enter the city, Guo Dian's invitation was naturally in line with Liu Xian's wishes.
In addition, Liu Xian also noticed that hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban captives were escorted together. Crowded a clearing in the northeast corner of Quyang City.
If history remains unchanged, then Huangfu Song will soon order the killing of prisoners, and these more than 100,000 Yellow Turban captives will all be killed.
Historically, there have been many massacres of captives. Huang Fu Song's killing of prisoners seems to have the slightest impact among the many prisoner killings in history.
Basically, killing these 100,000 Yellow Turban captives did not have any impact on the overall situation, and even on the reputation of Huangfu Song himself, in fact, it did not have much impact. Even later historical commentaries did not specifically criticize Huangfu Song on this killing incident.
Everything seems to be a small thing.
In fact, there is a reason for this. One, this war between the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turban Army has many differences from other wars.
First of all, this is not a war between countries.
Secondly, in general righteousness, the Yellow Turban Army is indeed a rebel army and a thief army.
Don't say anything about the princely general Xiangning has a kind of something. The Yellow Turban Uprising also has some essential differences from the original uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
The biggest difference is that the Yellow Turban Army has indeed become a thief army, and it has indeed caused great harm to the majority of the people.
As a result, it is difficult for these Yellow Turbans to gain the sympathy of the world. Let's just say that, basically, when people in later generations talk about the Yellow Turban Uprising, nine times out of ten, they regard the Yellow Turban Army as a thief army, a negative and evil representative.
Therefore, Huangfu Song killed 100,000 prisoners, at this time, not only would he not be criticized by the Han court or ordinary people, but he would be praised.
To be honest, it is difficult for Liu Xian to have sympathy and pity for these Yellow Turban Army now.
This, what Liu Xian saw after entering the city, also made Liu Xian feel disgusted with these Yellow Turban Army.
Even if they can't defeat the officers and soldiers, after the defeat of this army, they actually kill people and set fire to the city in a frenzy, which is an unforgivable thing.
But God has the virtue of a good life. And Liu Xian is indeed in great need of some productivity.
Therefore, Liu Xian wanted to meet Huang Fu Song, hoping to prevent Huang Fu Song from killing prisoners.
100,000 captives 100,000 productivity. Liu Xian felt that it was a pity to really kill him.
Even if he can't completely stop it, Liu Xian hopes to save part of it.
After Guo Dian took control of Quyang City, he immediately cleaned up the official office of Quyang City.
As soon as Guo Dian attacked the city, he led the army to control the official office in the city as soon as possible, which did not cause much damage to the official office. Of course, it is certain that it has been ransacked, and it does not mean that it has not suffered much damage, but it means that it has not been burned.
After Liu Xian entered the city, he also rushed to the official office with Huang Zhong as soon as possible.
In the official office, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Guo Dian, as well as a large and small group of court officers and generals, gathered together.
Huangfu Song's expression was awe-inspiring, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
"General Ben has made up his mind, in order to deter the remnants of the Yellow Turbans even more, the more than 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves we captured today will be beheaded and beheaded, and not a single one will be left!"
Well, Zhu also agreed. The Yellow Turban Army's generals of heaven, earth, and people have died, and the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City is the last main force of the Yellow Turban Army. But there are still so many Yellow Turban thieves in various parts of the world, if you can't give them a deterrent, I'm afraid they will keep raising troops. This time, we have to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, so that those Yellow Turban thieves will never dare to shout about killing officials and eating big families when they hear that our officers and soldiers have heard the news from now on. ”
Zhu Jun also agreed with Huang Fusong's decision with a murderous face at this time.
In fact, he was haunted by the fact that a part of the Yellow Turban Army had broken through from the west of the city he was guarding, and he hated to kill all those Yellow Turban Army.
"These Yellow Turbans are abominable! Killable! General Huangfu, we Guo Dian will personally carry out the punishment of beheading! ”
Guo Dian also hated those Yellow Turban Army.
