The old grandson got up from the bed and knocked on the back that was already slightly hunched. []

"Hey, people are getting old, and they feel less...... "The old grandson kept chattering as he walked towards the courtyard.

Suddenly, the old grandson heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and at the same time, there was the sound of weapons and armor colliding from time to time.

"Ahh At this time, the old grandson suddenly woke up and took a nap.

Lao Sun Tou has lived in Chang'an City since he was a child, and now it has been more than 60 years, and in the past 60 years, Lao Sun Tou has experienced a lot of things, the two disasters of the party when he was young, the rebellion of Dong Zhuo in middle age, and even Cao Cao, Ma, and Liu Bei occupied Chang'an one after another in old age, and Lao Sun Tou has experienced a lot in his life.

In Lao Sun Tou's memory, in the middle of the night, it is not the first time that this kind of footsteps mixed with the collision of weapons outside, such a thing has been experienced too much in Lao Sun Tou's life.

"Could it be that this Chang'an City is going to be chaotic again?" Old. Sun Tou looked at the sky, it was past the ugly time now, but now in this season, the dawn is relatively early, and it won't be long before the sky will dawn.

The old grandson took a deep breath and let himself. After calming down, he ran to the door, moved most of the wood against the door, and then ran into the house, hiding all the valuable things in the house.

After doing all this, the old grandson is finally loose. breathed a sigh of relief, and the footsteps of soldiers walking back and forth outside the door were still heard.

Lao Sun Tou leaned against the wall, looking at the eastern sky gradually becoming transparent, and sighed slightly, according to Lao Sun Tou's experience, I am afraid that there will be a lot more corpses in the mass grave outside the city tomorrow.

This is destined to be a night full of bloody rain and bloody wind, in the Weiyang Palace. At the end of the battle, another battle had just begun.

On this night, Chang'an Duwei and Dali became the busiest people, more than 20,000 Shu troops in the city constantly searched for the remnants of the rebellion, several families who participated in the rebellion have been raided, and the prison in Dali's mansion was full of people in just half an hour.

Noisy footsteps. It kept ringing in the street, mixed with the cries of some women, and from time to time there would be the sound of weapons colliding, which was the encounter of individual resisters.

As the sun slowly rose in the east, the battle in Chang'an City was nearing its end.

The sun rose higher and higher, but there were few people on the streets, and no one dared to go out on the streets at this time.

For the people living in Chang'an City, they just experienced a turmoil last night, and now is not the time to go out. People prefer to wait until it's calm outside.

The originally lively street, at this time became deserted, the doors of the shops on both sides were closed, none of them were open for business, except for the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the avenue, no one dared to come out, the whole Chang'an City was quiet, except for the occasional rooster and dog barking, it seemed that no other sound could be heard.

The city gates on the east and northwest sides were all closed, and as time went by, some merchants and peddlers had gathered outside the city, and the city gates were not opened, and no one could enter the city, and these merchants who stopped outside the city began to speculate about what was going on in the city.

……

Weiyang Palace.

The corpse had long since been cleaned up, but the blood stains on the ground were still there, and the blood stains in some places had not completely dried up, and the puddles of blood on the ground reflected a ruby glow in the sun.

All the people who participated in the night banquet last night gathered in the Weiyang Palace, and since yesterday, no one has left this palace, even if they want to go to the toilet, they will be escorted.

At this time, many people were worried about their families, but the emperor didn't say anything, no one dared to leave the palace, and the pool of blood outside and the pillar that Qian Zhou killed told everyone that it was better to stay in the palace honestly and not go out.

Adou sat in the middle, looking at the people below with a gloomy face, and the ministers below were also affected by Adou, everyone lowered their heads, and they didn't even dare to breathe hard, and the whole hall was quiet and very depressing.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" thought that the older minister finally couldn't bear it anymore and coughed.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and the old man trembled with fright, and then hurriedly knelt down, and said at the same time: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins......"

At this moment, footsteps came from outside, and then, I saw Pang Tong walking briskly from outside.

Pang Tong guarded a thick booklet, came to Adou, and said, "Your Majesty, there is a result." ”

"Huh!" Everyone's eyes focused on the pamphlet in Pang Tong's hand, everyone knew that this was the result of Pang Tong's night, and the names of the people in this roster were probably going to be unlucky.

Adou opened the roster, flipped directly to the last page, glanced at it, and then took a sharp breath of cold air.

"Taifu, make no mistake, 20,000? So much? ”

"Your Majesty, there may be mistakes in them, but the minister thinks that it is better to kill the wrong than to let it go!" Pang Tong said.

"Got it, arrest them all, and then interrogate them, and try not to wronged good people." Adou said, closing the booklet.

"Obey the order......" After Pang Tong finished speaking, he turned around and swept his eyes towards the ministers below.

"Someone!" Pang Tong shouted, and dozens of leather-armored warriors rushed in from outside.

"Anyone I call out, arrest me."

……

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged!"

"Wronged, I really have nothing to do with Zhu Ling!"

Bursts of shouts of grievances resounded over Weiyang Palace, and fierce soldiers dragged gorgeously dressed people out of Weiyang Palace.

Three days later.

Next to Weishui in the north of Chang'an City.

At this time, tens of thousands of people gathered on the banks of Weishui, including civilians, soldiers, and prisoners in prison clothes.

A platoon of prisoners was pushed to the shore of Weishui, and a shirtless executioner stepped forward.

"Execution!" With a shout from the warden, the executioner raised his knife and fell, and dozens of heads fell to the ground.

With a wave of his hand, a group of soldiers rushed up from both sides and carried away the corpses, followed by a group of soldiers carrying a line of prisoners. Then he repeated the action he had just done.

This scene lasted until the afternoon, and the corpses next to Weishui had been piled up into a small mountain, and Weishui near here had also been stained red with blood.

On this day, the Shu army killed more than 5,000 people, and more than 10,000 people were exiled.

……

Weiyang Palace, inner sanctum.

"Your Majesty, it's all done." Pang Tong said respectfully.

"Killed?" Adou asked.

"Yes, they were all killed, five thousand three hundred and eight in all."

"Got it." Adou nodded slightly and did not continue to speak.

"Your Majesty, these people dare to rebel, the crime is extremely heinous, and not killing is not enough to calm the hearts of the people. Now that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, people's hearts are unstable, and they just need to use this killing to stabilize people's hearts. Pang Tong saw the trace of unbearability in Adou's heart, and opened his mouth to comfort.

"Teacher, I just thought there might be a mistake in this......"

"Your Majesty, it's not possible, it's definitely there!" Pang Tong said with certainty: "Your Majesty, as long as you are human, you will make mistakes, and many of the nearly 20,000 people who have been exiled must have been wronged. However, the minister thought that only a very small number of people were wronged. ”

Adou nodded, no, still not speaking. killed more than 5,000 people at once, and Adou felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now that Zhu Ling has failed, Cao Zhen in the east is no longer a problem, but now it is Liangzhou in the west, which is very worrying." Pang Tong continued.

"Liangzhou? Didn't the prime minister send Jiang Wei to support, and I heard that Jiang Wei had recovered Jincheng. And Guzang is still in our hands, as long as General Ma can hold Guzang, Liangzhou will be fine. ”

"What Your Majesty said is, but half an hour ago, the minister just received the news that the reinforcements of the Qiang people have arrived outside Guzang City, and the person who led the troops is named Midang!"

……

Outside the city of Guzang, the Qiang people camped.

The Qiang king Cheriji is putting on a feast to entertain the newcomers.

Mi Dang is Cherrigi's brother-in-law, and he is also a Qiang person, but he lives in a relatively remote area, but he manages a lot of tribes.

This time, he heard that Cherry Ji had been attacking Guzang for a long time, so he personally brought 50,000 troops to help. At the same time, he also brought all four generals under him.

The four generals under Mi Dang are all very brave and good at fighting, and they are warriors among the Qiang people. The names of the four people are Ohhe, Burn Ge, Vatong, and Mothsai.

With the 50,000 troops brought by Midang, Cherrigie's confidence suddenly became several copies, but Cherrigi still didn't dare to blindly attack the city, after all, there were horses on the opposite side of Guzang City.

At this time, the situation of the horses in Guzang City was not very good.

For more than a year, Ma tried his best to defend Guzang City, and repelled the attacks of the Qiang people several times. Ma originally thought that the reinforcements would arrive soon, but he waited left and right, but he didn't wait for the reinforcements.

Jiang Wei obeyed Zhuge Liang's order, and when he reached Jincheng, he would not move forward, leaving the horse to face the army of Cheriji alone. And Cheriji has occupied most of Liangzhou, leaving only this Guzang City and the difficult bone of the horse, and Cheriji is not in a hurry to attack the city, as for the horse, it has been besieged by the Qiang people, and there has been no news from the outside for more than a year. The enemy situation is unknown, and the horse will not break through without permission.

The two sides held each other in Guzang City in this way, but this kind of stalemate was always unfavorable to the Ma side, after all, the grain and grass in the city had a day to be eaten, while the Qiang people outside the city had a supply of grain and grass.

……

Drinking and having fun, getting drunk and dreaming of death, has now become Cherrigi's main task.

On this day, Cherrigi was sitting in the tent, with a beautiful woman on his left and right, and in front of Cherrigi, a dozen or so women wearing only a few thin cloths were dancing.

An attendant walked in, cautiously walked around to Cherrigi, and said in a low voice, "King, the Wei State has sent an envoy. ”

"An envoy of the State of Wei?" Cherrigi burped slightly, waved his hand, motioned for the women to go down, and then straightened up his appearance, and sat down before he said, "Please come up, messenger." ”

Not long after, a young man who looked to be only twenty-five or sixteen years old walked in, and when he saw Cherrigi, he immediately bowed and said, "Deng Ai, the captain of the Wei Che Riding School, has seen the ...... King of Qiang."
