How did Cao Ei become so cruel? Anyone in the world can say this about Cao Ei, but only Sun Nian and the Fifth Chang can't say it. Because it was their fault that caused Cao Ei's actions today. How are they qualified to judge Cao Ei's benevolence and righteousness? Moreover, they used to be cruel in the eyes of the world.

However, Sun Nian killed all enemies, and none of them were unarmed people. At this point, he dared to pat his chest and promise that he would never feel guilty even today.

Therefore, Sun Nian and others were very dissatisfied with Cao Ei's indiscriminate killing of innocents among a specific group of people.

"But do you know the reason and purpose of Cao Ei's killing of the student?" Sun Nian sat down and asked a young general who passed on the news.

The young general's face did not move, and he said: "Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates have found out that the students were killed by the pit, and there are 100 deaths." ”

"What? Learn from Qin Shi Huang to burn books and pit Confucianism? That is to say, Cao Rong originally wanted to kill more than a hundred Confucian students? ”

"Yes. Your Majesty. He will kill more than two hundred people. Only half of them were saved by our people......"

The young general paused and continued: "They were killed because they desperately wanted to come to Luoyang to participate in the trial test. Because they consider themselves to be His Majesty's people, they are certainly eligible to participate in His Majesty's first trial. They wanted to come, but they were detained. For a whole year, their captors would send people to act as lobbyists, trying to convince those students to do things for the old Wei Dynasty. ”

As a result, to people's surprise, the student did not agree.

Since they did not agree, Cao Rong, who was embarrassed and angry, made them imprisoned, hoping to polish their ambition and edges, and one day they would be used by him. However, I don't know whose misfortune it was, the students were still iron-clad after being imprisoned for a year, and they were unwilling to follow Cao Rong to fight against Xinjun.

Even if Cao Rong scolded them for abandoning the old country, those people were still willing to be Sun Nian's people, so they were arrogant and just wanted to do things for Sun Nian, and they were unwilling to help Cao Rong restore the country. Because they all know that the ancestors of the Cao family are also usurpers, and they can be regarded as stolen countries, so as long as it is not the people of the Liu family who oppose Sun Nian, the rest of the people are not qualified to say that Sun Nian is a rebellious minister and thief.

Moreover, Sun Nian's series of new policies after ascending the throne can be said to be really for the world and the people, which is much better than the tyrannical king in front of him. Especially today's trial strategy, paving a straight road for them to the clouds. Honor and hope are just around the corner, and they are stupid to follow such a person to do the stupid thing of shaking the tree.

They had no fear to grind with Cao Ei, hoping that one day Cao Ei would not be able to bear Youyou's mouth and let them go. They never thought that Cao Rong would kill the chickens and monkeys in the end, and kill them to deter the rest of the people in Youzhou who were about to move.

Cao Rong stood in front of nearly two hundred students, smiling gloomily, "The first emperor of the Qin Dynasty burned books and pit Confucianism, and I Cao Rong will try it today." "Try what?

The Confucian student standing in front of him was instantly shocked and turned pale. They knew that the lord of the old Wei in front of them was telling the truth.

Is there any need for them to show weakness now? If a man wants to kill them, how can he beg for his life like a dog before him? If so, to live is to die. The soul and dignity are gone, how is it different from dying?

"Good." Cao Rong looked at these students with pale faces, desperate eyes, trembling legs, but still not compromising with him, hatred suddenly surged up, burning him painfully, "Since you have fulfilled my reputation for burning books and pit Confucianism, I am not welcome." ”

Cao Rong first ordered the students' books to be thrown into the pit and burned in front of them, "Let your lovely books wait for you in the pit first." Rest easy, you'll soon be meeting with them. As soon as Cao Rong waved his hand, his subordinates pushed the students down the pit one by one. You see, don't you honor Sun Nian's thief? Why are you in trouble, and you don't see him come to your rescue? Pile of dirt! The word "mound" was gloomy and heavy, almost burying the painful wails of the students.

"Your Majesty! Someone is moving in the city! ”

Cao Rong wanted to stand for a while before returning, but unexpectedly a subordinate came in a panic.

"Isn't it Sun Nian's person? Is he finally coming to attack Youzhou? After Cao Rong finished speaking, he immediately led people to leave quickly. Leave only a pit where a hundred people are buried, and let the wailing inside penetrate the earth, and a trace of it can be heard.

Are they all going to die?

No, less than a quarter of an hour after Cao Rong left, twenty men dressed in gray shorts, carrying crossbows and short knives, and holding hoes, hurried in, leaving only one to stand guard on the hill. Each person also carried a long wooden stake, which was long enough to cross the mouth of the pit, and the size was as thick as the mouth of the sea bowl, and he was not afraid that he could not carry the weight of a few people.

I saw that they put all the nineteen wooden stakes side by side on the mouth of the pit, and then everyone sat on the stakes to dig the pit to prevent the pit from being loose, for fear that the brothers would fall or that the people above would press the earth more tightly.

"Quick! Brothers, dig up! It doesn't matter if it hurts anyone! "It's better to hurt people than to suffocate them.

Sure enough, as soon as someone went down with a hoe, he saw blood, and he was so frightened that he immediately threw away the hoe and struggled to dig the bloody place. At this time, the two people next to him also came, and all of a sudden, the three of them struggled to plan, and the dirt flew all over the sky.

At the same time, a hand suddenly stretched out in the soil below the leader!

"Plow the soil by hand!" Since there are people in such a high place, it is not possible to use a hoe.

"Yes!"

After a while, the soil was dug up and the two were rescued like a turnip!

"There's one more down there!"

"They're still angry!"

hurriedly placed the rescued people in the shade of a tree, fed some water, and went to save people again.

In this way, these gray-clothed men dug out a hundred and five people with their bare hands and later supplemented by scabbards, and the five rescued in the end were no longer breathing.

And their hands were also drenched in blood, all of which were the blood of the gray-clothed men themselves, cut and wounded by digging the soil.

But in the face of the people below who have no life at all, they forget their pain. For the sake of His Majesty's reputation, they shed blood, and the unarmed Confucian scholars at the bottom of the pit lost their lives because they cared for His Majesty......

There are still more than 100 people who have not been saved.

They didn't expect Cao Rong to be so frustrated, and he would kill more than 200 people.

"Chief, here comes the one who answers."

"Good. Ready, let's hurry and take the people away. The leader looked at the pit in front of him, closed his eyes, and said, "Bury the pit again." And the five who died, let them be their companions. ”

"Yes." The crowd silently filled the pit and waited for the answerer to come.

Those who were brought out, who came to their senses, broke down and cried bitterly after asking clearly that these gray-clothed people were Sun Nian's people.

"Why didn't Your Majesty recover Youzhou earlier?"

"Your Majesty, why did your majesty let Cao Rong escape?

"Why are you here?"

"Come sooner they wouldn't have died."

"Is Your Majesty here?"

"Will Your Majesty be pleased? We have not disgraced Your Majesty. ”

"Can we still go to the audition this year?" Unbeknownst to them, the test has been set to be held every three years.

"Can we take our family to Luoyang?"

"Will the murderer kill our loved ones?"

.......

None of the leaders could answer these questions, but they only promised them that they would take them out of Youzhou, first settle down in Jizhou, and then wait for His Majesty's arrangement.

In the city, "Your Majesty! Be careful! "Cao Rong was really attacked. This is Sun Nian's subordinates who are worried that Cao Rong will know that he has been deceived, and then go back to the place where he killed Confucianism. At that time, there will be unnecessary trouble.

Since this is the case, the play is all over.

Looking at the burned temporary palace in front of him, Cao Rong hated itchy, "Sun Nian! One day, I will surely take revenge on you by the sword! ”

Cao Rong was so angry that he was angry, but Sun Nian was very happy. Especially when I learned that half of the students were saved.

"It seems that Cao Rong, he can't stay any longer." Sun Nian sighed. It's also fortunate that Cao Rong was seriously ill last year and didn't have the energy to make trouble, otherwise, these students would have died a year ago, where would they survive until today? Now that Cao Rong has become an unscrupulous and indiscriminate killing of innocents in order to achieve witnessing, he no longer hesitates to let it go.
