Chapter 324. The king and the eunuch beheaded the officials
Yuan Shang only took less than 10,000 remnants, first fled to Daiguo, and then completely untenable, all the way to Youzhou, in December captured Yecheng, including a large area of Henan, Hebei, Shanxi in later generations, the huge Jizhou counties watched the wall head grass county officials are impatient to send people to surrender, express their loyalty to Cao Zong, every day on the official road all kinds of horses galloping to the family officials almost blocked the city gate.
The fall of Yecheng marked the complete collapse of Yuan's rule in Jizhou.
And in the remaining ten days of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, the new owner of this land, also seized the time to make his debut.
The first major thing is to uproot those opposition forces that are too closely related to the Yuan family.
I have to admit that although the farsighted trial was defeated by other strategists, such as the abolition of Chang Liyou, which caused the split of the Yuan family, he was really a cadre and a loyal minister, not to mention anything else, with more than 10,000 county soldiers, he held Yecheng for more than half a year, even after Yuan Shang was defeated, he was not broken by Cao Cao, so that Wang Hou had to think about crooked ways.
Then even if the city was broken, he would not surrender to the death, and persuaded him to surrender for a long time, and Mr. Cao had no choice but to order him to be executed!
Today is the day of the execution of the captives!
Just like what was staged on TV, the prisoner cars were stuffed with prisoners, the first few such as the trial match, Zhao He, Cao An and other figures under Yuan Shao's command in Yecheng could also enjoy a prisoner car alone, and the remaining hundreds of people who were implicated and exterminated were just like the Indian trains in later generations, which could be stuffed as many as they could, and they were pulled to the execution ground in an extremely crowded manner.
Twenty-four hours ago, these people were still the people of Yecheng's population of two or three hundred thousand people, lords, the upper class, but now they are fame and fortune, and they are inevitably the doom of the execution field, I don't know if at this time, they will envy those civilians who are so poor that they can't eat, but they can easily surrender and live.
I think so! In the first dozen or so prison cars, there were crying and crying everywhere, not to mention the women who were implicated in the execution ground, even the pampered son-in-law was crying pear blossoms with rain, crying with a little white face, and all of them were miserable and bitter.
However, there was no trace of sympathy, no joy, no anger on the faces of the Yecheng citizens who saw them trembling out of the house, and the only thing on their numb faces was perhaps only fear.
Before Yuan Shao implemented benevolent government, he did gain a lot of people's hearts among the civilians of Hebei, but people died like lights out, Yuan Shao died, and half of this kindness was dispersed, and as soon as Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi succeeded to the throne, they endlessly requisitioned grain, competing with each other for the position, and the scraping of the sky was three feet higher than Wang Tiangao, and it was the last bit of afterglow.
In the more than six months of besieging Yecheng, more than 400 families in the prisoner car are still fat and strong! But Yecheng's original population of more than 300,000 is now only 1780,000!
The big guy doesn't care if it's surnamed Yuan or Cao on the top of his head at this time, go over early, and he will have a peaceful birthday!
The execution field, Wang Hou is also here.
I really don't know if Cao is always a bad taste or superstition, like Han Xin, the only one who survived from his old scumbag broken headline was Wang Hou, so this time he was named and sent as this prison officer, saying that he was pressed by his luck, and the province would come to keep people under the knife or something.
So, he could only come to a big villain, like the big villain or the big miscellaneous fish in the TV series, dressed in official robes and covered with green steel plate armor, sitting firmly on the execution ground on the cross street as a prison officer.
As he waited lazily on his elbows, he marched around the city, and the prisoner wagons were finally escorted to the place of execution.
Thinking about it, he Wang Hou is really quite similar to Han Xin, he escaped death in a flicker on the guillotine, and Han Xin leveled the country of Qi and sealed the king of Qi, he is now this Qingzhou Mu is also Qidi, but I don't know what his ending will be, it is estimated that he is 108,000 miles stronger than Han Xin!
In the midst of his thoughts, more than a dozen jailers pushed the trial and finally landed on the execution ground, the old guy was dry and thin, it is estimated that he has been besieged these days, I don't know how much hard work he has worked on, a pair of eyes are red and swollen like a panda, and his beard is also messy like withered grass, but don't look at the old guy is dry and thin, this year, the scholar clan is not separated from the civil and military, the two Cao Jun pressed his shoulders and made him kneel on the ground, this old guy actually slammed his shoulder, shook off the executioner's clamps, turned around to face Wang Hou, and shouted loudly.
"I am loyal to the judge, when is my luck bad, betrayed for the villain, defeated by your hands, into the last wish, my king is in the north, please face the north and die! Soul chasing my master! ”
During the Three Kingdoms, it was actually very common for generals to surrender to ministers, just like Jia Xu, who successively changed four masters, Zhang He was also a descendant of Hebei, and he still became a good general of the five sons, and even surrendered to Guan Yu at a great age, although he did not end well later.
It is rare to be loyal to the end like the trial.
And Mr. Cao also secretly explained that he must be physically eliminated as a diehard, but the elimination of this matter can be publicized by everyone, encouraging his subordinates to be so loyal, and return to China to be spiritual, Wang Hou nodded expressionlessly.
"You are allowed to die facing north!"
The old guy nodded with satisfaction, but he didn't thank Wang Hou, he just snorted coldly and knelt down in his direction.
Followed by the escort who knelt down, as well as his two sons, five grandsons, and a large family, listening to the sound of his frightened breathing behind him, the old guy was finally slightly moved, but only a little moved, raised his head, closed his eyes, and said no more words.
Watching Wang Hou take out the arrow from the box on the table, and throw it on the ground with a click, the executioner raised the machete high, only to hear the click, judging the three generations of ancestors and more than a dozen people, the head fell like a watermelon.
When I watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I pushed out a sentence when I killed someone, and then I got back a fake prop that could no longer be faked and handed it over, but this time, it happened alive in front of me, especially when I was still facing myself, looking at the appearance of blood splattering, Wang Hou couldn't help but jump in horror, seeing that the executioner came over with the bloody head of the trial and asked him to inspect it, Wang Hou simply waved his hand and asked him to withdraw, and at the same time handed a look to the other end, after the city of Yecheng was broken, The governor of Ji who surrendered made Zhang Ziyi.
Looking at the corpse of the interrogator who fell to the ground, the old guy was full of joy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he reached out and took the head of the interrogator with some pride, and walked to the edge of the execution ground with the feeling of villain's triumph, holding his hair high, and arrogantly shouting at the people of the Jizhou clan who were watching the execution in the three layers inside and three layers outside.
"Death from the thief! Those with bad intentions will wipe out the three tribes! Take this as a warning! ”
As soon as his words changed, he shouted in an even higher voice.
"But the prime minister is benevolent! Although someone is obsessed, his loyalty is commendable, and he is allowed to be buried in the north! Come on! Collect the corpse and send it down! ”
The first act of the political image show is complete! Seeing the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army carrying down, Wang Hou, who was lying on the case with his chin on his chin, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could slow down, the grinning cry and shouting suddenly came.
"Prime Minister spare your life! Xia Guan is in Yuan Ying's heart in Han! I have admired the prestige of the prime minister for a long time, but I really am not a sworn friend of Yuan Thief, so I ask the prime minister for mercy! ”
Snot and tears flowed down, and while being pressed to the execution ground by the sergeant, Zhao He, the official of Jizhou, was grinning and jumping up and down and begging for mercy.
In the end, the loyal ministers and good generals are still admirable, this is a bit unappetizing, Wang Hou is broken a little impatient and waved his palm, those Cao soldiers who were in charge of the execution were also sensible, and directly pushed this Zhao He family, pressed on the ground and knelt down, and then in the grinning begging for mercy of the big hao clan in the river meander, he picked up the beheading knife and cut it down.
Listening to the clicking sound, Wang Hou, who was lazily lying on the table with his chin on his chin half-laid, didn't realize that this feeling of mastering life and death and taking power, vaguely, actually made him enjoy it!
