Chapter 365: Aftermath
After obtaining Liu Yi's clear instructions, Yecheng's work can be carried out freely.
Xi Zhicai first transferred a group of civil officials to build the new Han Dynasty government in Yecheng, and at the same time, let Tai Shici be responsible for forming the city defense army to cooperate with the work of the government, and in addition, sent Su Cheng back to Maocheng to persuade the Yuan army in Maocheng to surrender or besiege the city and force landing. Zhao Yun, on the other hand, went to Yangping, joined Gongsun Zhan, mobilized the New Han army in Guangping and Yangping, and oppressed the Yuan army in the two places respectively, so that they did not dare to act rashly.
Jizhou has a vast territory, and if the Yuan army of Guangping and Yangping is allowed to leave the city they are guarding and turn into rogues, it will be a little difficult to destroy them again at that time. In particular, it is necessary to guard against them throwing their troops south and crossing the Yellow River to join Cao Cao. Well, although Cao Cao has now compromised with the New Han Dynasty and renegotiated a temporary truce with each other, if the remnants of Yuan's army were allowed to flee to the land of Yanzhou, Cao Cao would naturally be happy to absorb them, thus increasing Cao Cao's troops. There is nothing to say about such a thing, so it is necessary to prevent such a thing from happening.
Of course, judging from the current situation in Jizhou, Yuan Jun in Maocheng, Guangping, and Yangping is already equivalent to a turtle in an urn, and it seems that there is not much to toss. However, the only thing to worry about is that these Yuan Jun, especially the real principals of Yuan Jun now, can't see the shape clearly, and would rather die than surrender.
These are not things that need to be solved urgently, the most important thing is to clean up Yecheng first.
Under the high-pressure control of Xi Zhicai and Tai Shici, the people of Yecheng and the remnants of Yuan Jun and Yuan Shao's army were quiet, and for the time being, even the funeral of the people of Yecheng was put aside. Do a good job of household registration first.
Naturally, on the other hand. Let the people who have done a good job of registering their household register conduct a detailed survey of their family members. Let them identify the bodies of their respective families, solve their affairs one by one, deal with their settlement work block by block, and restore their normal life order first. In this way, soon, every bit of the entire Yecheng was under the control of Xi Zhicai and Tai Shici.
Soon, it was found out that there were many people and Yuan Bing. In the process of the chaos in the Yecheng Palace, some guys who disobeyed Tai Shici's original orders were made. These guys, in the palace, in order to compete for property, attacked the people around them, and many people died at their hands. There are not a few such people, and after they identify each other, no one can escape punishment.
Tai Shi Ci personally supervised the beheading. Nearly 20,000 people were killed outside the city at once. At this moment, it completely deterred all the soldiers and civilians in Yecheng. Although secretly, there will be many people who are panicked or dissatisfied with such behavior of the New Han Army, but. They didn't dare say anything more.
And then, the government issued many policies in a row, and began to formally rule Yecheng. A series of policies related to the future life of the people of Yecheng have made the people in grief and panic finally get the bean dance. In Yecheng, he slowly became a little angry.
Meantime. In Luoyang, in the name of the New Han Dynasty, the official recovery of Yecheng was announced to all parts of the Han Dynasty, and the reason why more than 20,000 people were executed at one time was announced, telling the reason, so that the people of the world could learn from it, and let the people of the world take it as a warning, and do not let such a human tragedy happen like Yecheng again.
The Yecheng Palace was burned down by Yuan Shao in a frenzy, and nearly 200,000 people were burned alive, which really shook the world. On the battlefield, the two sides tore and killed so many people, which is nothing, but the premeditated plot to kill so many people's lives really shocked the people of the world.
Although, there are also their own reasons for those who broke into the palace, but this also made the people of the world angry, which also directly made the Yuan family become a fanatic who lost their conscience in the eyes of the world. It also made the influence of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family on the Han Dynasty drop to the freezing point all of a sudden, and no one will be complacent anymore because they have a little relationship with the Yuan family.
The Yuan family has lost its influence on the people of the world, which is almost equivalent to completely cutting off the possibility of their Yuan family digging up again. At this time, if Yuan Shao's sons dared to throw themselves into Cao Cao's forces, I believe that Cao Cao would not dare to risk the world's condemnation to let go of Yuan Shao's descendants.
And the New Han Army, in the casualty accident in Yecheng, was almost completely left out. At least, the world will not misunderstand and accuse the Xinhan military director of such a human tragedy. After the New Han Army obtained the control of Yecheng, it immediately investigated and found out that the people who seized treasures and killed people in the palace immediately dealt with them, and they also won the praise of the world, thinking that this was done right. It proves that in this world, under the rule of the New Han Dynasty, no one can do evil and still be free. This also made the people of the Han Dynasty more recognized by the New Han Dynasty.
The work of Yecheng is in full swing. The families of the former Yuan generals in Yuecheng were also sent back to Yecheng, allowing them to regain their freedom, and at the same time, allowing them to reunite with those Yuan generals who had already submitted to the New Han Dynasty. In this way, soon, the loyal surrender of those Yuan generals was obtained.
Seeing the situation in Yecheng, Tai Shi Ci slowly got on the right track, and he began to send people together with Qin Jie to collect the southeastern area of Jizhou. Now Yuan Shao is dead, and Yuan Shao's sons are in Guangping and Yangping, and they are completely unbinding. As soon as Tai Shici and Qin Jie led the army to arrive, especially after taking the generals and children of those places to meet with them, most of the cities and towns were in despair. I believe that it will not be long before the southeast of Jizhou, Hanoi and other places fall into the hands of the New Han Army.
At this time, Liu Yi was in the backyard of Liu's Mansion in Luoyang, and he was a little helpless against Mrs. Zhang's Zhang, who was crying silently.
The rest of the women around him all retreated, leaving Liu Yi and Zhang alone.
"Alas......" Liu Yi didn't know how to comfort Mrs. Zhang, so he sighed and said: "Madam, my husband knows that you still can't let go of Yuan Tan in your heart, no matter how unscrupulous Yuan Tan is, but after all, they are your own flesh and blood." But...... Have you ever wondered about this. It's not that I, Liu Yi, can't tolerate him Yuan Tan, but Yuan Tan...... Well. You are also aware of the situation. I don't need to say more. Think about it, if I really kid him up and come to Luoyang to see you, how will you get along with him in the future? We're not going to put him under house arrest, are we? In this way, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it even more, and he will be even more resentful of you, the mother. ”
"It's, even if it's under house arrest...... It's better than dead......" Mrs. Zhang knelt in front of Liu Yi and said weakly.
"Y-Why are you doing this? is under house arrest Yuan Tan, he is afraid that life is worse than death, and you see your son so unbearable. It will only increase the melancholy, and the long pain is better than the short pain. He doesn't even recognize you as a mother......"
"Husband...... It's not that people don't understand the truth, but, but...... After all, he is someone's own flesh and blood, no matter how bad things he does, he is still my flesh and blood...... No matter how he treated me, how could a mother ignore her flesh and blood because of this? ”
"Hmph, mothers are so defeated, that's the mentality of women like you. will cause so many unscrupulous children in this world, this kind of thing must not happen in my Liu family, and I will have children under my Liu Yi's knees. They must not be allowed to develop the bad habits of the second ancestor, good people can't do it, but they must not be evil people. At least. To let them understand the truth of being a human being, they must not be spoiled everywhere. This. I've told you not only Madame, but other ladies. Liu Yi really couldn't understand the attitude of these women towards their own flesh and blood. A person, bad has become like that, at the beginning, I also told Mrs. Zhang well, but now, Yuan Shao is defeated and Yuan Tan is trapped in Guangping, so she comes to entangle again, begging herself to let Yuan Tan go. This matter, Liu Yi is really not easy to do. The most important thing, for the time being, my big family is still quite harmonious and beautiful, and among the women, there is not much selfishness, if Yuan Tan is brought to this Luoyang, I really don't know how troublesome it will be in the future. Liu Yi always believed that Yuan Tan's character had been formed, and he was definitely not a peaceful person, and in Liu Yi's heart, he really didn't want to bring this unstable element to Luoyang.
Mrs. Zhang knelt and crawled to Liu Yi's feet, wanting to bow to Liu Yi, and said: "Husband, this, this is the only request of the slave family, I, I really can't let go of Tan'er, and I ask my husband to fulfill ......"
"Ma'am, it doesn't have to be like that." Liu Yi bent down and hugged Mrs. Zhang.
"Madam, you and I have come together since we met, until now, this process is not easy, Madame's heart. I can understand it, not to mention, between our husband and wife, there is no need to do such face-to-face work, if I can satisfy you, I will definitely follow your wishes. Why don't you let me think about it? Liu Yi couldn't bear to say anything and coaxed him.
"No, I want my husband to agree to the slave family now." Mrs. Zhang raised her dignified and sacred jade face, and looked at Liu Yidao with a little persistent eyes: "Husband, please believe in others, Tan Er's nature is not bad, give the slave family time, I, I will definitely let him change, he will definitely realize his mistakes, and he will definitely listen to and listen to others." Not to mention ......"
When Mrs. Zhang said this, she lowered her head as if she was a little dodgy, and whispered, "Husband...... The Yuan family is also equivalent to the destruction of the whole family, Tan, Tan Er, he ...... He is also a disciple of the Yuan family, sparing his life can be regarded as leaving a seed for the Yuan family......"
"Huh?" Liu Yi frowned.
"Uh, husband, don't be angry, the slave family doesn't still have any thoughts about Yuan Shao or the Yuan family, for the Yuan family, the slave family has long lost a good impression in their hearts, they want to ...... Didn't the husband say that he wanted to destroy the Yuan family? Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover Liu Yi's mouth and asked anxiously.
"That's right, back then, in Yihong Mansion, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers were unreasonable and prevented the redemption of my eldest brother Gao Shun for his goodness, at that time, I was just a penniless soldier, and I had no capital qualifications to confront the Yuan family, so I could only make things bigger, so that they could cherish the reputation of the Yuan family, and they would not fight with a little person like me on the spot, so I said that I was an enemy of the Yuan family and said that I would destroy the Yuan family. However, this was also a helpless move at the beginning, at that time, in the eyes of the world, I was just a man of wild words, and now that I think about it, I was indeed too impulsive and arrogant at that time. However, after that, the Yuan family really looked down on me Liu, and conspiracy to assassinate or murder me many times, and almost killed me Liu Yi several times. Leo Yi nodded.
"Husband, have you ever thought that you did that back then. And did not do anything wrong, after all. At that time, the husband did not have the strength to destroy the Yuan family. However, this is no longer the case. Husband, you now have such ability and strength, and in terms of Husband's current power, it is really a shame to destroy the Yuan family. People are not wrong about this, right? Mrs. Zhang said.
"Now, well, I don't object, the current Yuan clan, it is impossible for them to threaten me Liu Yi."
"But. Husband, have you ever thought about it? Although the Yuan family was destroyed by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, in this world, the direct descendants of the Yuan family are only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers. Yuan Shu died in the hands of Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao died in the hands of her husband, right? Then, next, if Fujun destroys all the descendants of Yuan Shao, then no matter what. This can be regarded as a confirmation of what the husband said back then, right? The Yuan family is full of doors, although all of them were destroyed by the husband, but the last root of the Yuan family. But he died at the hands of his husband, then, the future descendants. will inevitably attribute the demise of the Yuan family to her husband. On the contrary, Dong Zhuo's thief destroyed the Yuan family. On the contrary, it will make people forget. ”
"Oh? Hehe, so what? How can I, Liu Yi, be afraid of what future generations will say about me? Liu Yi saw Mrs. Zhang talking to herself about these things with a serious face, and shook her head disapprovingly and smiled.
"Husband......" Mrs. Zhang didn't seem to be still twisting her body in Liu Yi's arms, and said in a thoughtful manner: "Think about it, Husband has always had the name of benevolence and righteousness in our Han Dynasty, and is deeply loved by the people of the Han Dynasty, and the Yuan family has now become a rat that everyone shouts and beats in the Han Dynasty, which is not worth mentioning." However, the Yuan family, in the Han Dynasty for more than 100 years, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, and it has indeed done some feats that cannot be erased by the world. Now, the survival of the Yuan family is just a matter of your husband's words, if you can keep a trace of incense for the Yuan family, maybe, the people of the world will love the husband more and praise the husband for your magnanimity, do you say? ”
"Uh......" Liu Yi looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms, and said a little speechlessly: "I can't see it, Mrs. Zhang, you are still a good lobbyist." Hmmm......"
Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "Seriously, in fact, I don't have to destroy the Yuan family, but I also want the Yuan family to be the last one." I actually didn't care about what happened back then, it's just that Yuan Shao and I, Liu Yi, have a deep grudge, and he himself would rather die than return to the New Han Dynasty. This one...... Okay, I can spare Yuan Tan's life for the time being, but I will only give you two or three years to give your wife, and you must let Yuan Tan reform himself, and he is not allowed to have the previous cruelty. ”
"Huh? Husband, are you approved? When Mrs. Zhang heard that Liu Yi had agreed to her, she jumped down from Liu Yi's arms with joy like a bird.
"Well, you've got it all to say, can I still not promise you?" Liu Yi really smiled a little against his will.
"Report ......"
At this time, a report came from outside.
"What?" Leo looked up.
saw Yin Xiao walking in with a piece of rice paper with a strange expression, and seemed to look at Mrs. Zhang a little unbearably.
"Sister Zhang, otherwise, you go out first, and I'll tell my husband something." Yin Xiao did not report to Liu Yi first, but asked Mrs. Zhang to go out first.
"Sister Yin Xiao, is there anything I can't know? It can't be related to me, right? Mrs. Zhang was happy because Liu Yi had just agreed to her, and she didn't pay too much attention to Yin Xiao's expression for a while, and when she heard Yin Xiao say this, she happily teased Yin Xiao.
"This ......" Yin Xiao hesitated for a moment.
"Does it really have anything to do with me? So, can I hear what this is? Mrs. Zhang looked at Liu Yi a little sensitively.
"Well, what's the matter, let's talk about it." When Liu Yi usually does something, he doesn't deliberately avoid the women around him, and nodded to Yinxiao.
"Uh, that's it...... Okay, Sister Zhang, please, please mourn ......" Yin Xiao said with a look of concern for Mrs. Zhang.
"Condolences? What am I mourning? Sister Yin Xiao, do you mean Yuan Shao's death? I won't be sad for him, people have nothing to do with him for a long time. Mrs. Zhang was stunned, and there was a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, but she shook her head disapprovingly.
"Alas, husband, Yuan Tan in Guangping has been, has been, has ...... ...... dead," Yin Xiao handed the information in his hand to Liu Yi and said silently.
"What?" Liu Yi and Mrs. Zhang were both taken aback at the same time.
"It's true, Yuan Tan is dead." Yin Xiao said affirmatively.
"No...... How so? How could Tan'er die? Son......" Mrs. Zhang seemed to be unable to stand the impact of this news for a while, and her expression was mournful for a while, and she rolled her eyes with a little excitement, and she fainted.
Liu Yi hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Zhang.
didn't have time to read the information carefully, and hurriedly carried her back to the room.
Yin Xiao also hurriedly called someone to take care of Mrs. Zhang.
Many women in the family also rushed over when they heard about the situation, paying attention to Zhang's situation with concern.
Mrs. Zhang was woken up by Liu Yi, but as soon as she woke up, she couldn't help crying, and the whole person seemed to be a little lost and depressed, with a painful face.
How could Yuan Tan die? Liu Yi saw that he couldn't persuade Mrs. Zhang for a while, so he had to let the woman in the family comfort her first, go out by himself, and while reading the information, he called Yin Xiao to explain the detailed situation. (To be continued......)
