Zhou Bian was thinking about Wang Sunman's simplicity, but he heard the Taishi say on the side, "The old man has something to say." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

So everyone turned their attention to the Taishi again.

"A few days ago, the king captured a few captives and came back, and has been detained in the prison, now Gongyi is no longer committed, and there is the protection of Luoyang, my king can be sacrificed to the ancestral temple to comfort the soul of the first king in the sky!"

Hearing this, Zhou Bian patted his head, how could he forget this, there was a ceremony to sacrifice prisoners in ancient times, which was regarded as a major event of the country, and I had already heard what the Taishi said. Hurriedly responded, "Then according to what the Taishi said, the Taishi will support the prisoner sacrifice ceremony tomorrow." ”

Soon another day passed, and the ceremony was scheduled for the early morning of the second day. Zhou Bian covered his mouth that kept yawning, and scolded in his heart why people got up so early in ancient times, and all large-scale ceremonies were arranged in the early morning, which really made modern people uncomfortable. But to the ancestral temple to see, unexpectedly actually came a lot of people to watch, although the sky is not yet bright, but the dense figure can see very clearly, I am afraid that there are many people outside the city of farmers, heard that the sacrifice of prisoners is going to be held, so they came to Chengzhou before the city gate was closed last night, each looking for a place to rest at will after a night just to see the ceremony. This shows the hatred of the soldiers and civilians of Cheng Zhou for the invaders.

The ceremony of sacrificing prisoners is also simple, and with the current strength of the royal family, it is impossible to do it complicated. After a cadre of warriors pushed out the captives, they forcibly pressed them down and knelt on the field in front of the ancestral temple, and then the Taishi blessed the ancestors and the ancestors, and then worshiped the ancestors with three animals. In the end, it was executed before the ancestral temple, before the ancestors, Zhou Bian did not approve of it, and thought that if he didn't let go, it would be good to stay as a coolie, but Taishi and others insisted, Zhou Bian thought about it, anyway, they all had blood on their hands, that is, according to the logic of modern society, they should be hanged if they went to a military court.

Seeing that the execution began, the onlookers of Cheng Zhou suddenly boiled the pot, Da Zhou has not had such a thing for several generations, and he has always been only bullied by others, and it is the first time in a long time to solve the invaders so openly.

When the bronze broadsword with a glittering light was sacrificed, several captives realized what was waiting for them, so they struggled and begged for mercy, shouting for the king's mercy, but they were scolded by the onlookers. Among the captives, one of them was so angry that he scolded him so badly that many onlookers threw stones and tiles at him, and the samurai around the captive also suffered from him. Naturally, this captive also attracted Zhou Bian's attention. Suddenly, a clever guard quietly stepped forward, covered his mouth and told Zhou Bian that this tough man was a Korean soldier, and the guard had a hesitant look on his face, obviously unable to pay attention, for fear of offending South Korea. Zhou Bian only thought about it, and then looked at Taishi and the others, and when he saw that Taishi signaled slightly, he didn't think much about it anymore and nodded deeply. The guards were ordered to retreat, and the execution began.

Naturally, the execution began with the Han soldiers, and the samurai had long looked at him unpleasantly. I saw a bare-necked man, struggling to lift the quaint bronze big knife, and then used all his strength to cut down diagonally, everyone saw a blood spray, actually rushed a foot high, and then looked down, a good head has been on the ground a few times, and the headless body slowly collapsed. At this time, the onlookers reacted and applauded loudly, only to feel that they could see such a lively scene, and it was worth getting up early today.

The Taishi had already gotten up and wanted to block in front of Zhou Bian, after all, the king was still a child, but before he left, he remembered that the king who was still a child had killed more than one person with his own hands and commanded the soldiers to participate in a small battle, so his body eased up, and after a while, he heard the cheers in the crowd, and then looked back at the king, but saw Zhou Bian's eyes calm, not smiling or angry, compared to the rest of the indifferent young master, excited Sima Tu, trembling young master, but I don't know how much better, Taishi secretly admired in his heart, He turned around and sat down. In fact, how can Zhou Bian not fluctuate for a moment in his heart, although he has seen it on TV before, but there is no key shot, it is naturally not as exciting as this live version, but he always thinks about his oath and mission in his heart, and forcibly holds back.

When I looked into the middle of the field again, several of the captives behind me were paralyzed. The samurai didn't care, he just cared about one by one, and in the blink of an eye, he cut a few more, and the shouts of the onlookers were getting lower and lower each time, presumably because the novelty had passed, and there were many timid ones who had already receded. After a while, there was only one captive left, but this person urinated on the ground, and his body trembled like a big worm, which provoked the disdain of the onlookers, and Du Dao was still the first to watch it.

When the captive saw the machete raised, he didn't know where he got the strength, so he shouted anxiously, "The king spares his life, I have something important to report to the king." The voice was so loud, but it was unexpected by those present, so they stopped shouting and scolding, talking and bragging, and turned their heads to look at the king on the high platform in the distance.

Zhou Bian naturally heard it, so he raised his hand to signal to stop, and his own guard shouted to stop the bare-necked man. Zhou Bian looked at the captive for a moment, only to see that the person was still trembling, so he turned his head to look at the accompanying Taishi, "Master Taishi, can you believe what this person says?" ”

"If the king has mercy, it is okay to be here today. But this guy is obviously talking nonsense, what does a small soldier know about what's important? "Taishi is slippery, take a sip first, and then talk about what he thinks.

When the captive heard this, he immediately panicked, and when the machete stopped, he saw hope, and his desire to survive suddenly soared unprecedentedly, how could he give up now? "My lord, the younger one has a brother who is a centurion, and he grew up together, and once he was drunk and he said a lot." In fact, there was also a centurion who came to Cheng Zhou this time, but he was killed.

Taishi hurriedly asked, "What did he say?" "Apparently intrigued.

The captive was silent, looking up at the machete, and the Taishi turned his head to look at Zhou Bian in understanding. Zhou Bian thought about it, "Why didn't you say it earlier, you have to cut off your head today?" ”

"Since I was arrested by the king since I was a child, I have been locked up in a prison, and no one asks the little one? In fact, when I saw the king Shenyong that day, I wanted to defect to the king for a long time, but I never had the opportunity. The captive was also depressed, I used to hear others say that King Wu recruited a lot of enemy soldiers after breaking the Shang Dynasty, but I didn't think that the royal family was not interested in this set now.

Everyone was embarrassed when they heard it, a few days ago, they were worried that Gongyi would come to invade the realm, and they had been busy preparing for war, how could they have the strength to take care of them, although in the eyes of the Taishi, they would not surrender, but they didn't even pay attention to others, and after being locked up for a few days, they were directly dragged out today. "Then the king will let you live for the time being. If you dare to deceive this king, this king will immediately take your life. And not with today's broadsword, but with a broadsword that has not been opened, cut continuously, and then slowly cut, until it is cut. Zhou Bian couldn't hold back the embarrassment in his heart, but he still couldn't help but scare him.

The captive was frightened at first, but then he kowtowed and thanked him. The Taishi turned to face the onlookers of the Chengzhou people, "Fellow villagers, my king remembers that God has the virtue of a good life, and the spirit of my great Zhou Dynasty ancestors in heaven is enough to comfort and pardon this last Gongyi captive, so as to show that my king's virtue is as glorious as martial arts." That's it for today's prisoner dedication. ”

When everyone heard this, they knelt down in unison, and the mountain shouted, "Long live the king, the king is brave!" At the praise of these hundreds of people, Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, and when he was about to shake his hand at everyone and say a few words, he was hugged by the Taishi and others and retreated to the palace, leaving no time at all. Zhou Bian had an epiphany in his heart, it turned out that in ancient times, like in modern times, leaders had to retreat first, and they retreated faster.

After entering the palace and taking his seat in the council chamber, the lucky captive was escorted by the guards. Taishi and the others interrogated first, it turned out that this person's name was Li An, who lived in Gongyi, and his ancestors moved east with King Ping, which can be regarded as a royal feat, but now he is against the royal family, which is really emotional.

"Your Majesty, Master Taishi. What I want to say is that the reason why the Gongyi soldiers are better at fighting than when the Tai Ping clan was in the past is actually because there are Han soldiers to help train. This time, we led a Han soldier, who was cut down by the king just now. ”

"We know this, if you use this to perfunctory this king, then you can try this king's unopened knife." Zhou Bian was a little displeased.

"Yes, yes, villain, this is from the beginning. There were about a few dozen Han soldiers who came to help the Eastern Zhou Jun train the soldiers and maintain his rule. They looked down on my Gongyi soldiers, and often scolded and even beat people when they met, and many people were dissatisfied with them, but they were forced to be oppressed by the Korean soldiers by force, and there was the strong pressure of the Eastern Zhou Jun, so they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction in person. After my brother was drunk, he scolded these Han soldiers, and said that if he had the opportunity, he would lead the crowd to surrender to the king. "This Eastern Zhou Jun is the honorific title of the villagers to Ji Ban.

When Zhou Bian heard this, he immediately sat up straight and looked at the Taishi. Taishi shook his head slightly, "King, this matter cannot be used now, this Gongyi and Han Border are only separated by a Luoshui, if South Korea wants to intervene, the large army can come in the morning and evening." Or do what Dr. Manman says. ”

Zhou Bian nodded, wrote down this matter, if it can be used, it is indispensable to write down a credit for Li An in front of him, thought about it and said, "Then didn't Han Bing send out a thousand people when he helped Gongyi before, why are there only a few dozen people left now?" ”

Li An thought for a while and said, "King, firstly, I can't afford to raise so many uncles in Gongyi, and secondly," Li An suddenly looked around, lowered his body and said carefully, "The little one also listened to what my brother said, there are rumors that the Chu State will invade the Central Plains next year, and Han Hou has already transferred troops to the south a year ago, and there will be a big war between Han and Chu after the beginning of the year." ”

No wonder Han Bing hurriedly borrowed the border a few months ago, but this is also an opportunity to take advantage of, just see how to use it, Zhou Bian thought about it and looked at Taishi, who nodded slightly, I am afraid that I also thought of this.

When asked again, Li An couldn't say anything valuable, and seeing that he had said so many things, Zhou Bian let him out and worked as a handyman in the palace for the time being. Then Li An saw that Zhou Bian really didn't mention the matter of the blunt knife again, so he calmed down at this time, and only left after thanking him a thousand times.

After Li Anhuan left, Zhou Bian discussed with Taishi and others for a long time, but he couldn't get the essentials, so he had to decide that if there was a big war in the coming year, he would make plans according to his situation, otherwise, the royal family could not act rashly.

As he spoke, a guard came in to report that Shen was lawless and asked to see him. Could it be that he wanted to report on the progress of the BMW car, he had been busy for many days, and he didn't bother to ask about it, thinking of this, Zhou Bian motioned for the guards to let him in.
