On the third day after the defenders dedicated the city, the flags were unfurled next to a large earth pit on the outskirts of the city, and the crowds were crowded, and rows of prisoners were escorted by the soldiers to the front of the torture platform by the pit, lined up in a long line, and some prisoners were escorted to the execution platform, and then they were pressed on their heads and stuck in the notches of the guillotine, and the prisoners kept cursing in their mouths, but in vain.

These people were all men, ranging in age, old and young, most of them with wounds, some were emotional, some were numb.

With the order of the warden and beheader, several burly executioners grasped the long handle of the guillotine, and then pressed it downward, only to hear the click, and the head of Dahao was broken by the knife and rolled into the pit, and his body was then thrown into the pit and "reunited" with the head.

In the earthen pit, there are many heads and headless corpses densely piled up, the scene is infiltrating, the smell of blood is overwhelming, attracting countless flies, and the people waiting to fill the soil on both sides of the pit are all pale and look down at the ground when they see the terrifying scene in front of them.

Of course, at this time, there must be an enthusiastic "crowd of onlookers", and many bold people in Voryang came to watch the beheading, although they were afraid, but they stretched their necks to watch the execution.

The dense onlookers and the buzzing of the discussion made the originally bloody execution ground look like a grass market opened every once in a while, and it was very lively.

Batches of prisoners were escorted to the execution platform by the soldiers, and after the "click" sound, it was the next batch.

"Next batch!"

The warden shouted loudly, and the bloody guillotine opened, welcoming the next group of captives.

The guillotines were limited, and they could only 'handle' ten captives at a time, but since the morning, they have been 'handled' almost completely, so they only need to finish the last ten to fill the pit.

The captives who were escorted to the execution platform had different expressions, some were still scolding, cursing the traitor for not dying well, while others were already paralyzed with fright, their crotch was moist, and a smell of urine came to their nostrils.

After the "click" sound came to an abrupt end, the cursing stopped, and the heads and headless corpses were thrown into the pit, and the pale captives on both sides of the pit began to fill the pit with shovels in their hands.

Captives and captives, of course, are different, and it is precisely because of the difference in identity that determines their fate after being captured: some captives are beheaded, while others save their lives and only need to dig and fill pits.

Five days ago, the eastern and western armies fought a decisive battle in the wilderness between Wuyang and Ruyin, and the eastern army was defeated, and countless soldiers and young men were captured, including the sons of the powerful men of Huaixi Wubao who helped in the battle.

These people have a deep hatred with the Western Army, the dock fort, family property, and fields were seized, and the clansmen were killed, which can be said to be a deep feud in the sea of blood.

During the decisive battle, a large number of these heroic sons died during the charge, and a group of them were killed when they resisted and fled, and after the only remaining people were captured, the Western Army did not intend to laugh and enmity, so these people must die.

Now, their lives have come to an end, and the corpses are separated and piled up in the dirt pit, and as the earth pit is shoveled and filled by other captives, the once powerful forces of Huaixi Wubao have been completely cut down and eradicated.

Of course, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net, but these people are no longer in the climate, at least they can't openly confront the officials and the army, and confront their enemies.

The Yin Shi who supervised the beheading checked the number of people again, and after confirming the doubt, he explained a few words to the military officials, and left the execution ground to return to the city, he had experienced countless battles in the past half a year, and had seen the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, so he would not be frightened by the corpses in this big pit, but he was busy with affairs, and he didn't have so much time to look at the corpses and sigh.

In the past few months since the Yin Shishi followed the King of Xiyang from the Hanging Gourd to the south, he has seen with his own eyes what happened to the heroes of Huaixi Wubao, and today he has witnessed the ending, and he only feels that the right and wrong in the world can be clearly explained.

In all fairness, killing captives is a bit cruel, and the heroes of Huaixi Wubao can be regarded as suffering an unjustified disaster, but this is the reality, the bloody reality.

Since there is a grudge, one party will inevitably have blood revenge, and the other side will inevitably cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and who is right and who is wrong depends on the strength.

Yin Shishi understands that the choice of the King of Xiyang is not wrong, the heroes of Wubao have always been at both ends of the rat, and in the case of their own strength, it is difficult to distinguish whether the other party is an enemy or a friend.

If the king of Xiyang led his troops south to prepare to attack the two Huai, and chose to fight with these Huaixi heroes, probably the whole army is still coiled around Gwangju now, and he never dares to attack with all his might.

The Yuchi clan is powerful, even if it suffers the defeat of Shaoling and the defeat of Guangling, it is still a force worthy of action for the heroes in the land of Lianghuai, and the presence of the Yuwen clan in Lianghuai is very weak, and it is simply delusional to want these heroes to sincerely serve.

So, do you choose to eat a bowl of raw rice and spend a lot of time sitting and digesting it slowly, or do you pour the rice and recook a bowl and pick up a knife to fight when you are full?

The King of Xiyang chose the latter, and the effect was really good, and the Yin Shishi also saw the other side of the King of Xiyang's decisiveness.

In such a large-scale killing, there will inevitably be different voices in the court, and the heroes of Huaixi Wubao must have clansmen, children, or various in-laws and brothers-in-law, and these people may be thrown into the court in the future, and the scum will inevitably rise when the time is right.

This kind of hidden danger, the king of Xiyang is aware, but he did not hesitate to make a choice, Yin Shishi thinks that if it is replaced by himself, he is afraid that he will look forward and backward, hesitate, and can't make up his mind.

He rode his horse to the city gate, only to see a large number of scattered teams lining up to be inspected by the soldiers guarding the gate, waiting to enter the city.

These people saw the Yin Shi Shi and his party in military uniforms, and hurriedly saluted and stepped aside, the attitude of respect made the Yin Shi quite surprised, looking at these people in cloth clothes but riding horses with bows and arrows, he probably had a number in his heart.

The gatekeeper recognized the Yin Shi Master, so he and his party entered the city smoothly and went straight to the official office.

The official office of Voryang is now the marching marshal, and at the door of the official office, many people also gathered, lining up to be inspected and registered by the soldiers in turn, and they can only enter after they are completed.

At the beginning, when he was hanging the gourd, the Son of Heaven ordered officials from all over the country to raise troops and serve the king, but almost no one responded; Later, the king of Xiyang led his troops south, and was about to use troops against Lianghuai, and also called on the heroes and powers from all over the country to actively raise troops and support the official army to rebel, but there were still few responders.

Those Wubao heroes in Huaixi just sent someone to send some grain and grass to talk about their hearts, but in fact, they still wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and they didn't take the king of Xiyang seriously.

The consequences of this have been seen by everyone, and after the king of Xiyang "cleansed" Huaixi, coupled with the new defeat of the army of Wei Chi and the surrender of the defenders of Voryang without a fight, the king of Xiyang, who did not wait to enter the city, sent envoys to various places, and the powerful people from all over the country immediately came uninvited and sent their sons-in-law to Voryang to "wait for dispatch".

If you want people or food, it's no problem!

The main reason why the Haoqiang in the neighboring areas of Qiaozhou is so 'enthusiastic' is that Yu Chi Youqi was defeated, and Huaibei has no field strength of the Wei Chi clan, and the fate of the Haoqiang in Huaixi Wubao is in the eyes of these Haoqiang.

Facing the King of Xiyang, who is sharpening his knife, who doesn't have a cold neck?

The king of Xiyang still dared to attack Huaixi Haoqiang when Wei Chi Youqi's army was still there, so in the current situation, he would not be merciful to the disobedient people, and the Yin Shishi felt that if he couldn't even understand this situation, there was really no need to keep it.

Therefore, the people who were waiting in line to enter the city, and the people who are waiting to enter the official office now are all sons in law or cronies sent by powerful people from all over the country, who want to enter the city to listen to the teachings of the king of Xiyang, and see what opportunities they can serve for the official army.

This kind of scene is like a market, a few months ago, the Yin Shishi didn't dare to imagine, he felt that how to deal with the powerful people in various places and get the sincere support of the other party was a headache, and now the Xiyang King easily did this, it was really a means.

Walking into the office, the Yin Shishi saw a crowd of people in front of the council hall from a distance, it was the people waiting for the Xiyang King to summon them, anxiously waiting for the critical moment to come.

The Netherworld Master was not going to the council chamber, he walked along the corridor, and just turned to the other side, he saw several cloth-clad men whispering under the corridor.

When those people saw the Yin Master in military uniforms coming over, they saluted respectfully, and the Yin Master immediately stopped and nodded to one of them as a return salute.

These merchants, even if they are from Huangzhou, are not worthy of the return of the court officials, and the reason why the Yin Shishi wants to nod to one of them is because the other party is Wang Yue, the big shopkeeper of the King of Xiyang, and he wants to give some face.

After a few words of greeting, the Yin Shishi reminded Wang Yue: "Shopkeeper Wang, the king has to meet many guests, and I am afraid that you will have to wait for a long time." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, the grass people and others are here waiting for the king's summons."
