Chapter 434: The King Humiliates His Ministers and Dies
Zhang Yan's death was something that Lu Buwan did not expect. Even though he had thought about assassinating Zhang Yan, when this result really happened, Lu Bu felt a little dreamy.
With Zhang Yan's death, hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children in the Luo City Valley had no intention of resisting. In fact, the situation in this Luoshi Valley has also reached the most critical moment, not to mention that Zhang Yan is dead, even if he is not dead, after some time, he will not be able to suppress those people who have no food and no clothes.
After the army entered Luoshi Valley, Lu Bu led everyone into Zhang Yan's residence as soon as possible. This so-called dwelling is nothing more than a small attic. If this is placed outside, let alone the residence of a general, even the mansions of some big families are afraid that it is not as good.
According to Sun Qing, most of the thief chieftains in the Taihang Mountains are fond of gold and silver treasures, and they are officials and beauties. But only Zhang Yan didn't take these things into account. He eats and eats frugally. Zhang Yan would always give all the spoils of war after each plunder, and it was precisely for this reason that Zhang Yan could win the hearts of the people and even the army.
"Love soldiers like sons, this is quite the style of ancient famous generals!"
Lu Bu nodded slightly.
Walking into the mourning hall, a black coffin was placed on it. On the mourning hall, dozens of people were wearing filial piety clothes and were crying heartbreakingly. When he saw Lu Bu and the others appear, a woman in filial piety clothes walked forward with a child, and hurriedly bowed down to Lu Bu. And the many mourners in this hall also stopped the cry and knelt down towards Lu Bu.
Knock, knock, knock.
Lu Bu walked straight through the middle of these people, and under everyone's gaze, Lu Bu approached the black coffin and saw Zhang Yan's body placed inside. The corpse was lying there quietly, but there was no head.
"Evil comes!"
Lu Bu called.
"In!"
Dian Wei walked up with a black box in his arms, opened the black box, and Lu Bu gently took out Zhang Yan's head from it and placed it in the coffin. Then he turned around and walked in front of Zhang Yan's widow Huang, "Madam, please get up!" When people die like lights go out, these past grievances will be written off. ”
"Xie Junhou is magnanimous!"
Huang Shi looked at Lu Bu, and the pear blossom with rain on his face barely squeezed out a smile.
"Xie Junhou is magnanimous!"
After Huang finished speaking, all the people wearing filial piety in this mourning hall also knelt down to thank him.
Seeing this scene, Sun Qing's eyes turned a little red again. also bowed to Lu Bu, "Yan Shuai Quanxia has knowledge, and he will definitely thank the prince for his magnanimity!" ”
Glancing at everyone, Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "Even if Zhang Yan is my enemy!" But Zhang Yan is also a general in the peace and hardship pardoned by Emperor Ling. Now that he is dead, I will still bury him according to this ritual system! ”
Sun Qing didn't say much, and bowed gratefully!
Here, after Lu Bu also worshiped Zhang Yan, he ordered, "Zhang Yan is dead, and this war should be over." In the Luoshi Valley, although hundreds of thousands of thieves rebelled against Zhang Yan, most of them were innocent people, so I don't want to hold them accountable for their crimes. From now on, the thieves in this Luoshi Valley and all the large and small valleys in the Taihang Mountains have all returned to their hometowns to cultivate because of their migration down the mountain. If there are still those who resist, there will be no forgiveness! Have you ever understood? ”
"No!"
Not only Sun Qing, but all the thief chiefs in this hall who wore linen and filial piety for Zhang Yan also agreed.
Such an ending is also the best result!
After the worship, Lu Bu's tent and Wu also went through a scene. Most people didn't have anything to do with Zhang Yan, only Yang Feng couldn't help the grief in his heart when he worshiped Zhang Yan! Before this day, Zhang Yan swore to him that he would open the gate and surrender, but now it is yin and yang! As soon as he remembered some of the words that Zhang Yan had said to him before, Yang Feng was quite sad! looked at the Huang family and Zhang Fang, the orphan and widow, and secretly swore that he would definitely fulfill Zhang Yandi's entrustment.
"This Zhang Yan is by no means an ordinary person!"
After walking out of the mourning hall, Dong Zhao, the chief bookkeeper, said to Lu Bu, "I think that not only those thieves and chieftains in this mourning hall, even those old and weak women and children in the valley we saw, also have sad faces, which shows that the hearts of this Zhang Yan among the millions of Taihang thieves have really reached a shocking point. ”
Dong Zhao's words made Lu Bu a little contemplative.
In fact, the scene in this mourning hall also touched him very much! Half of the reason why he made such an attitude was out of sincerity, and half of it was probably not to win over the hearts of these surrendered thief chieftains. Fortunately, this Zhang Yan is dead, he doesn't have to be afraid of anything, now only this orphan and widow is left, the Huang family, even though she is Zhang Yan's wife, but she has no prestige, and Zhang Yan's son Zhang Fang is too young, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but think of the moment he saw Zhang Yan's head. At that time, Li Ru informed him that Guo Daniu, who was arranged by the secret division to be around Zhang Yan, assassinated Zhang Yan, and his people also committed suicide and martyrdom after assassinating Zhang Yan.
In this world, there has never been a shortage of those who are loyal. Now this is just one Zhang Yan, who can make so many people willing to die. Those heroes in history, such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and others, if one day, he Lu Bu defeated them and killed them, then how many loyal and righteous people were martyred for them?
"Zhang Yan, it's really not an ordinary thief chief."
Lu Bu sighed lightly, "But if he can get such a heart, why isn't it what he does on weekdays?" The king treats him as a countryman, and the minister repays him as a countryman! This Zhang Yan made me understand that I didn't do well enough! Now that this Zhang Yan is dead, Sun Qing and others have also surrendered. If I treat them as soldiers, how can they not be of the same service to me? ”
Dong Zhao's face immediately became solemn.
And after listening to Lu Bu's words, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Li Ru, Xun Youcheng, Lian Wei Yue and others around Lu Bu were also thoughtful!
During the two Han dynasties, loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness and shame were highly valued. Even in this troubled era, loyal and righteous people are emerging in endlessly. All this is because the ideological trend of this era is like this.
Today's such a thing does not only include one Zhang Yan, but also other people. It's like one day now that Lu Bu is defeated and trapped in a dangerous city, but the loyal and righteous people who die for Lu Bu will definitely have a lot more than in their previous lives. Why is that? Naturally, many people have received Lu Bu's favor, so whether it is emotional or logical, they can't get by!
