Chapter 235: Sacrifice of Prisoners

An invisible crisis was flexibly resolved.

Before that, when everyone looked at those noble ladies and concubines and princesses, they always looked salivating, but now, they have become a little playful and appreciative.

Sooner or later, you can get it, so what's the matter if you wait a few more days?

However, the five non-commissioned officers who violated military discipline had no good luck, and the military law was like a mountain, and they were dragged down and beheaded mercilessly.

As for the five women who were abused, they only thought they were unlucky, and Wei Zhongquan didn't have the time to waste time on them, compared to the cruelty of the war, they suffered much lighter, and the reason why it was difficult to accept it was only because there were moral constraints in their hearts.

Can chastity be eaten for food?

These generals, especially Wei Zhongquan, know very well that these women can't escape the fate of being slaves and maids, after all, there are nearly 7,000 women, and it is impossible to support them.

It can be said that they are an alternative kind of item, a captive sacrifice to the queen of heaven, some of which will be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor to meritorious officials, and the rest will be sold as goods, and if the market is good, maybe they can be sold for a good price.

The loss of virginity is a doomed thing, but these five women are just ahead of schedule.

Perhaps, they can be a blessing in disguise, and they have received a rough baptism in advance, and when they are humiliated in the future, they will be more psychologically acceptable and live a life.

"Order the whole army to speed up early tomorrow morning, and must return to the country within three days, and all prisoners who cannot hold on will be executed on the spot!" Wei Zhong was completely expressionless and gave the order.

"Yes!"

Soon, the results of this incident were conveyed to the whole army along with the order, and the captives also knew what they were about to face and their fate, especially the women, all of whom wept and pleaded.

At night, it's a bit noisy.

The reason is that some of the captured princes and nobles moved out of the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners by the Cang army, shouting non-stop, wanting both food and drink, and having no fear.

The impatient Cang soldiers, after slaughtering a group of them, suddenly became much quieter.

The soldiers of the Cang army are very clear, why should they treat prisoners preferentially?

Isn't it to win more support, to set an example, and to make the war smoother in the future?

This group of captives, because of the reason that the country was destroyed by the Cang army, fell from the top privileged class to be worse than slaves, and the hatred in their hearts can be imagined, it is impossible to return to the country in this life, so those so-called preferential treatments only need to be done.

On the seventh day of the ninth month, the sun was shining, and the mighty team of class teachers and prisoners arrived in the territory of Cangguo.

At this time, Yang Mu had already returned to the palace from Leyuan City, after breaking through the Cave Kingdom, Leyuan City had become an inner county in Cangguo, and there was no need to garrison troops at all, and the 30,000 Qilin Army also led the army into the territory of Shengguo.

That's right, Cangguo is carrying out a two-front operation.

Since the end of July, the two major armies of Suzaku and Xuanwu have been actively organizing soldiers to go north to crusade, because the main force of the Dong army was completely annihilated, and the monarchs and ministers of Sheng Guo no longer had the intention of marching south, and the frightened Deng Zhi led the whole army to shrink urgently, and turned to the border to deploy defenses.

At the same time, the Emperor Min Lei of Shengguo sent the crown prince to envoy Cangguo, pleading for reconciliation between the two countries, and paid tribute to a large number of goods.

For the sake of safety, Yang Mu did not order the two major armies of Suzaku and Xuanwu to attack the city strongly, and temporarily agreed to Emperor Shengguo's request for peace, and instead asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of War to start a war and negotiation with it.

With the deliberate delay of the Cangguo, the negotiations reached an impasse.

Sheng Guo was reluctant to cede a large amount of land, and Cangguo was not in a hurry to cease fighting, and after several rounds of confrontation, the border between the two countries was temporarily stable, and there was no too large-scale war.

It is also in this context that Cangguo does not have to worry about the instability of the rear, which creates good conditions for the two major armies of Qinglong and White Tiger to drive straight into the cave country.

On September 13, the Blue Dragon Legion escorted the captives and entered the imperial city of Cangguo.

Nearly 20,000 captives, more than 3,000 died of weakness and disease during the twenty-day journey, and were left behind along the way.

Along the way, in order to prevent escape and facilitate management, both men and women were tied with their hands and necks, especially those important people, such as the emperor of the cave country and several princes, etc., who were directly tied to the horseback when they slept at night, so when they were untied from the rope in Cangcheng, there were deep strangulation marks on their wrists and bodies, and blisters were grinded.

Those women with fine skin and tender meat are even more unbearable, and when they entered Cangcheng, many people were dragged directly, and they collapsed to the ground as soon as they untied the rope.

This scene happened to be seen by the people in the city, and the streets on both sides were full of onlookers, among whom there were naturally envoys from Shengguo.

"It's over, Sheng Guo is going to be finished!"

Min Shanyi, the crown prince of Shengguo, came out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and saw this scene with his own eyes, and only felt a chill down his spine.

Those gorgeously dressed nobles of the cave country were unkempt, as if they hadn't eaten for a few days, and they lifted their feet weakly, like a thoughtless doll.

What exactly did they go through?

Sheng Guo, isn't it coming soon?

The fear that rose from the bottom of his heart made him subconsciously want to speed up the negotiations and reconcile the two countries as soon as possible.

More than 15,000 people were sent to prisons and guild halls in the city to be taken into custody, and after a day of freshening up, they finally looked like people, and there was no longer a sour smell on their bodies.

The Ministry of Rites set up a huge prisoner sacrifice platform outside the city, and all the captives, whether men, women, children, princes and nobles, were escorted to the prisoner sacrifice platform and knelt in a neat line.

Many people still have memories of this place, the last time more than 2,000 people were executed here, including the rebels of King Ze and King Yi, and were sentenced to extremely cruel punishments.

Many people who have seen it with their own eyes still talk about the change of color, and they don't want to remember that there are few people in this area on weekdays.

Yang Mu carried the sword, and slowly climbed onto the dragon chair amid the sound of the mountain shouting and tsunami of worship.

Unlike the last time, this time the queen was also in the entourage.

After three years in the palace, this is also the first time that the queen has left the palace and appeared in front of the world.

Of course, separated from ordinary people and officials, no one could see her true face except for the servant girls around her, and perhaps it was for this reason that she agreed to come together.

The grand event of destroying the country, no matter which country it is placed in, is a thing worth publicizing, even if it is the previous generation of emperors of the Jin Kingdom, who is eloquent and strategic, has destroyed a total of more than a dozen surrounding countries, and after each annihilation, a huge ceremony of sacrifice of prisoners must be carried out.

This time, the royal family and top magnates of the Cave Country can almost be said to have been served in one pot.

After the queen is a country, the mother of all the people, should also participate. ()
