Shang Kexi raised his bloody knife and commanded his officers and soldiers: "Kill all these traitors who have defected to the enemy!" ”

These squires who survived under the butcher's knife of Jiannu hurriedly ran downstairs when they heard this.

But by this time it was already too late.

The surviving civilians did not know all this, and they were now lining up to receive food and silver from the mighty army.

"Mother, there is meat! There's meat in this meal! It's still a chunk of fat! ”

A child happily brought a bowl of meat to his mother.

Her mother smiled happily too.

Zhou Gou'er smiled when he saw this scene, and then began to do ideological work for these people: "Fellow villagers, Jinzhou City is gone, and it was destroyed by Jiannu, and now I ask you, do you want to have your own new home?!" ”

When the people heard that Jinju City was gone and destroyed by Jiannu, their faces showed grief, and when they heard that there was a new home, they all showed anticipation.

Zhou Gou'er took advantage of this to continue the mobilization work.

For a while, the attention of the people was attracted by the blueprint for a better life in the future drawn by Zhou Gou'er.

As for the screams that came from time to time in the city, the people naturally ignored them, just as these squires kept saying that they were asking for their lives and ignored them.

An hour later, Shang Kexi executed all the gentry in Jinju City.

Then, Lu Yuan began to formally accept Shang Kexi's surrender, and asked Shang Kexi's surrendered officers and soldiers to clean Jinzhou City, sprinkle lime, and bury the corpses.

The mighty army rested in Jinju Fortress.

The people were allowed to enter the city after sprinkling lime in Jinju City, but the people did not know what was happening in the city, they only knew that Jiannu slaughtered the city and destroyed their homes, some of them received the passage money and prepared to go to relatives and friends, some were ready to go south to Qingshui Town Fort in Shandong, and some decided to stay in Jinju City.

Lu Yuan also asked Liu Yuliang to immediately inform him that he had recovered Jinzhou, and at the same time came to the state government and met Chen Hongxu.

"Chen Zhizhou, why haven't you committed suicide yet?"

Lu Yuan has never treated Chen Hongxu well, because he knows that the current Chen Hongxu can only be a dead end, after all, the fall of Jinzhou City into the hands of Jiannu, he can't say clearly, his only ending can only be suicide or waiting to be punished by the imperial court, so Lu Yuan is leaving Chen Hongxu a chance to commit suicide.

"Lu Yuan, you!"

Chen Hongxu looked at Lu Yuan with some annoyance, and pointed at Lu Yuan angrily, but he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

"What's wrong with me?"

Lu Yuan asked with a smile.

Chen Hongxu snorted, didn't say anything, only turned his face away, he didn't want to see Lu Yuan's face that seemed to be laughing at his incompetence.

"Chen Zhizhou, do you think you are very incompetent? Nuo is a big Jinju city, you didn't hurt a single soldier, and you let Jiannu enter the city, can it be said that you also surrendered to the enemy? ”

Lu Yuan asked as he said at this time.

"This official has not surrendered to the enemy, you have to slander!"

Chen Hongxu yelled.

"Since you didn't surrender to the enemy, then why did Jiannu enter the city without spending a single soldier, and why did the flag of Jianju Dorobele Yueto suddenly appear at the head of Jinju City! You rest and quibble, there are tens of thousands of people in Jinju City to testify! There are still gratifying witnesses! Even if you are clever and eloquent, you can't change the fact that you let Jinju City fall! ”

Lu Yuan also shouted loudly.

"This official was killed by these squires who defected to the enemy."

Chen Hongxu replied.

"Since you were trapped, why didn't you explain it in advance, but instead united with these squires to ask for money and grain, this official burned the grain and grass of Jiannu, but you want to let this official pay these squires, are you my Ming official, or his Jiannu official?"

Lu Yuan continued to ask as he spoke.

"This official, this official, this official is just ......"

Chen Hongxu stuttered for a while, he really didn't know how to explain, and finally couldn't help but be discouraged, and said: "The official has nothing to say, you just kill me." ”

"You are an official of the court, or a civil official, how can this official and a military minister have the right to kill you."

Lu Yuan said.

Chen Hongxu did not speak.

Lu Yuan continued: "Chen Zhizhou, you are a smart person, you don't need me to say more, you should know what the imperial court will think once it knows that you are not dead after Jiannu broke the city, will it think that you have taken refuge in Jiannu during this period, you said why you no longer Jiannu committed suicide after entering the city, how good is that, it can be regarded as a festival and death!" ”

Chen Hongxu finally collapsed, only pursed his mouth, looking like he was about to cry, and said, "I don't want to die!" ”

"Don't want to die? But you only have a dead end! There are still a few more sins to die in the capital, you should know, when today's son is not necessarily very lenient to the Wenchen who did not observe the festival, does Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Jiliao, remember, he just failed to stop the Jiannu siege of the Beijing Division, and he ended up with a Ling Chi, what is the consequence of you who are still alive after Jiannu entered the city? ”

Lu Yuan asked.

"General Lu, help me, help me, I really don't want to die!"

Chen Hongxu suddenly pleaded with Lu Yuan.

"I can't help you, where can I, a guerrilla general, help you with this", Lu Yuan shook his head and said.

Chen Hongxu stood up a little lost: "Then please ask the general to kill me." ”

"No, I don't have the right to kill you, the only thing you can do is kill yourself", Lu Yuan said, and let people put three things: poisoned wine, rope, and knife, and said: "Chen Zhizhou, you can choose one for yourself as a tool for self-destruction." ”

Chen Hongxu looked at the poisonous wine and hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm afraid of bitterness!" ”

Chen Hongxu looked at the rope again, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't like the feeling of my neck being strangled by the rope." ”

Chen Hongxu then looked at the knife again, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm afraid of pain!" ”

"Then what should I do, Chen Zhizhou?"

Lu Yuan asked.

Chen Hongxu suddenly said: "Let me go to the city tower, I will jump down on the city tower to thank the people of Jinzhou City!" ”

"Send Chen Zhizhou to the city tower!"

Lu Yuan immediately commanded.

Half an hour later, Chen Hongxu came to the city tower and was unwilling to jump down, and couldn't help but say: "Here, the wind is too cold, General Lu, let's go back to the state office." ”

"Yes, I remember that there is a well in the inner courtyard of the state government that has not been used for many years, right, I saw it yesterday, and the well water is still very deep."

Lu Yuan said a word, and really took Chen Hongxu to the wellhead.

"General Lu, this well water is too cold!"

Chen Hongxu was a little trembling.

Lu Yuan looked at Chen Hongxu speechlessly, and couldn't help sighing: "Go and call Shang Kexi and let him accompany this Chen Zhizhou to play another play." ”

Seeing this, Chen Hongxu couldn't help but panic: "General Lu, Lu Guerrilla, what do you mean by this, Chen really doesn't want to die!" ”

Lu Yuan ignored Chen Hongxu, he really didn't want to waste too much time on this Zhizhou, but it was impossible for him to let Chen Zhizhou leave Jinzhou City alive, after all, who knows if this Chen Hongxu would say something after entering Beijing.
