Chapter 29: The Day of Retreat V
Thousands of miles away from Guangchuan Kingdom (near Guangchuan Town, Jingxian County, Hebei Province) to Shangyong (now Zhushan County, Shiyan City, Hubei), Liu Qu and Queen Zhaoxin sat in a simple carriage, his son and his subordinates walked, and a group of men and horses were guarded by 100 soldiers, all the way through Qinghe County, Dong County, Chenliu County, Yingchuan County, Nanyang County, and it was already afternoon when they reached the upstream river where the south water of Hanzhong County poured into the Han River. The soldiers who were nervous along the way finally became a little sleepy and relaxed their supervision of Liu Qu. While waiting for the boat to cross the river, Liu Qu, who was unguarded, jumped into the Han water with rolling waves. By the time the soldiers on the shore reacted, Liu Qu had already disappeared. His wife Zhaoxin and his sons cried and cried on the shore, and the soldiers hurriedly found the boatmen to rescue and salvage, and only found one of Liu Qu's shoes for half a day.
The commander who escorted Liu had to order the crossing of the river and sent a messenger to report to the imperial court. At nightfall, the group marched to a village on the edge of the mountain pass and camped, and the captain counted the people and horses, and from then on they would enter the vast Qinling Mountains. In the middle of the night, while everyone was asleep, a terrible scream came from the woods not far away, and the screams were so miserable that they penetrated the marrow of people. The villagers and the people stationed in the village all felt furry in their hearts.
In the woods, Ouyang Xuan led five Yulin soldiers and sat on the stump. There was a bonfire, and Liu Jin, who had just jumped into the river in the afternoon, was tied to the shelf on it. There were more than 30 people tied to the tree next to it. Ouyang Xuan said with a smile while carrying the fire: "What a trick to hide from the world, if it weren't for the ability of my subordinates, I wouldn't have been able to say that I would have waited for you." Don't you like to abuse and kill, haha, that's just pediatrics. Today I will give you a taste of the real torture. Someone will increase the ignition". The position of the fire is exactly at the position of Liu Jin's calf, and the fire head is about one meter away from the calf. Wrapped in a wet cloth on his legs, a famous Yulin guard carried a bucket of water and kept sprinkling water on the wet cloth. The scorching temperature made Liu Jin scream again and again, and finally he didn't even have the strength to scream. can only beg for mercy in a low voice: "King Xia, you bypass and enter, come in and be a cow and a horse to repay King Xia." "Spare you? Will the people you kill spare you? The evil things you have done, people and gods are angry, how can I spare you? Keep increasing the heat and roast me." These Yulin Army have been cultivated by Ouyang Xuan for so many years, and they have a strong quality in their hearts, they are used to seeing all kinds of scenes, and it is the first time they have seen roasted people, so they naturally have a heart of exploration and strictly implement every step of Ouyang Xuan. The watering is non-stop, and the fire is still carefully observing. "Mom 1, you group of killers, you still study a fart, pull people back, you don't look at the legs and feet, it's almost baked. Our King of Guangchuan has not moved?" "No!" , The Yulin Army who was on the torture hurriedly moved the shelf, just roasting the big 1 leg, and the Yulin soldier who was watering hurriedly shouted: "The fire is small, and the wet cloth has not been wrapped yet."
At this time, Liu Jin let out an inhuman scream again, accompanied by the smell of barbecue. "Why don't you hurry up and wrap a wet cloth? I don't want this beast to die so happily." Several Yulin soldiers hurriedly wrapped the wet cloth around their thighs, and Buick and Guli were greedily smelling the smell of barbecue. It was gone all of a sudden, naturally unhappy, and howled twice at Liu Jin, and the loud wolf howl could be heard clearly in the village a few miles away. The commander of the army immediately gathered his soldiers, sent men to guard the prisoners, and led more than 30 people to the place where the wolf howl was issued. At the edge of the woods, the vigilant Yulin Army found that without much fighting, these thirty or so people were brought to Ouyang Xuan. "They are the soldiers who escorted the king of Guangchuan, how to deal with it, please show your majesty?" Let them go, let them see how to burn the living without dying. Show me my sign and edict to the lieutenant." Saying that, he took out the gold medal and silk cloth edict from his pocket and handed it to Yulin Junhou, after reading the gold medal and edict, the lieutenant knew who this person who claimed to be me, Yulin Jun loosened the tie for them, and quickly knelt down on one knee in front of Ouyang Xuan to salute, and returned the gold medal and edict. "Get up, just stand by and take a look. You also know what this beast looks like, and I am just doing the right thing for heaven." Ouyang Xuan pointed to Liu Jin, who was still howling miserably on the fire, and said. These Han soldiers did not speak, and after Ouyang Xuan finished speaking, he immediately retreated to the side and watched Yu Linjun punish Liu.
Liu Qu's screams gradually weakened, "Let King Guangchuan be spiritual." Just roast the skin on the body, don't hurt the internal organs, let him die". "Don't worry, Your Majesty, just watch the show," replied a well-informed soldier. asked people to turn down the heat, smeared some heat conduction oil on Liu Qu's upper body, wrapped it with a damp cloth, and moved the shelf, so that the fire head just roasted the lower abdomen. Liu Qu's heart-rending howl began again, this time it was even more tragic, and the Han army watching from the side was all hiding their faces and blocking their ears. After roasting for a while, Ouyang Xuan held a golden short knife glowing with a penetrating blue light in one hand and patted it on the other. leaned into Liu Qu's ear and said, "King Guangchuan, how does it taste?" Do you know what kind of sin it is for those who have been tortured to death by you? βγβ King Xia, go and know that you are wrong, please raise your noble hand and give it a good time." "Haha, happy, when you tortured and killed others, did you ever want to give people a good time?" , Ouyang Xuan said fiercely. He turned his head and said to the Yulin soldiers: "Roast me well, and you won't be killed before your head arrives." "No!". Screams, as the grill turns and moves, one after another. After a full hour, the skin on Liu Qu's upper body was completely a tight brown-red, and every breath was accompanied by Liu Qu's miserable scream. Ouyang Xuan ordered someone to remove the half-dead Liu Qu and lay it flat on the cold stone. "Someone will bring the steward of the palace and me, and then roast it." "No!" In a moment, two Yulin soldiers came to the fire with the steward who was already paralyzed with fright. A fishy smell hit their faces, and Buick and Guli shrugged their noses and turned their heads. "Go and wash him, don't pollute the air."
The two Yulin soldiers removed this guy's clothes and pants, poured two buckets of water directly on his head, and rinsed off the filth on his body. Tied to the pole of the grill, and Liu went to the shelf to roast, as the screams sounded, Ouyang Xuan said angrily: "A slave is actually more ruthless than the master, bullying men and women, except for personnel, dare to do anything, and roast with me." "Your Majesty is at ease, let's watch the show", or the Yulin soldier replied. This time, the guy actually cut the leg muscles first, sprinkled them with salt, wrapped them in a damp cloth, and roasted them on the fire amid the terrible screams of the steward. It took two hours to roast the steward who was already half dead and put it off the shelf. His pain was far greater than that of Liu Qu, and his voice had already burst out. At this time, a Yulin soldier came to report: "Your Majesty, Queen Guangchuan and the third son of King Guangchuan have been brought here, and they have killed 100 rangers in the village who tried to rescue the family of King Guangchuan." "Bring them up and behead them before the king of Hirokawa." "No!" The prince was ordered to retreat. Ouyang Xuan patted the knife and paced in front of the dying Liu Qu, and ordered someone to take a basin of cold water and pour it on Liu Qu's head, "Liu Go, the cycle of heaven is not happy." Torture, killing, and robbing tombs, all of them are done. Today, I will punish you on behalf of the heavens, even if you are a person who does no evil, your soul must also be a pickled thing, and I will destroy your soul." As he spoke, he took a blue stone disc with no energy from the hands of the Yulin guards and placed it under Liu Qu's head. The steward also put a piece under his head. After a while, the three sons of King Guangchuan, the queen and the steward's family members had been brought to the two of them, and as Ouyang Xuan's hand fell, first the steward's two sons and his wife were beheaded in the steward's howl, and the spurted blood sprayed the steward's body, Ouyang Xuan took off the crossbow, wound it, raised his hand and shot an arrow, right in the forehead. After a while, the stone dish under the head faintly emitted blue fluorescence, and ordered someone to take out the stone saucer, the blue stone dish flashed with a faint fluorescence, the temperature of the stone dish rose a lot, and there was a clear feeling of warming his hands, and he ordered someone to replace the stone dish under Liu Qu's head. In front of Liu Qu and the queen, Ouyang Xuan paced in front of the queen, looked at the queen who was still in her forties, and said, "Zhaoxin, are you guilty?" βγβ I believe that I know that I am guilty of a lot, and I ask King Xia to give me a good time." "I think you are a woman, and I don't want to be tortured and killed. Even if I instigated King Guangchuan to torture and kill others, I couldn't let him go so easily. And they gave thee fire, and they bound the stone saucer to their head, and set it on fire." "No!". Two Yulin soldiers stepped forward to lift Zhaoxin, tied the stone dish under Liu Qu's head to Zhaoxin's head with iron wire, and then tied it to a temporary pile, laid it flat on the ground, and returned to the flying saucer not far away to find a white 1 phosphorus, 1 burn, 1 burn 1 bomb, dismantled the warhead, hung it above its body, made a detonation mechanism, and everyone hid in the distance. As soon as a prince pulled the rope, the warhead was instantly detonated. The dazzling white light flashed, and a terrible scream followed, the pain of white 1 phosphorus entering the flesh was not something ordinary people could bear, and the blue fireflies and the scorching ointment covered all parts of Zhaoxin's body except for his head, and the fire followed.
It was only after a quarter of an hour that Queen ShΕshin gradually stopped screaming, and finally died in agony. The fire was still burning and was not extinguished until half an hour later. The Yulin soldiers shoveled some soil to cover the corpse, and with thick gloves, they took off the stone dish from the burned and deformed head, and the iron wire had been corroded by white 1 phosphorus, and it broke when it was pulled. But the stone dish is intact, wipe off the dirt, the blue fluorescence is a little stronger than just now, and the temperature is difficult to judge now because it has just been burned by fire. After putting it in the water to cool, it was put back under the head of Liu Qu, who was already dying. Ouyang Xuan took out his sword, walked to Liu, ordered someone to pour another basin of cold water, and said slowly: "King Guangchuan, after reading that you are Emperor Jing, I am not embarrassed with you, so I will send you on the road." After speaking, he flicked his wrist, and the sharp blade of the sword passed through the neck of Liu Qu, who had no resistance, and at the moment of death, Liu Qu had a relieved expression. Taking out the stone saucer, the fluorescence was a little better, and the temperature already felt hot, which not only reminded Ouyang Xuan of the piece of energy substance that the people of Muwei gave to Liu Qi back then. Hurriedly ordered someone to find a lead box, wrapped it in silk cloth, and put it in. At this time, the sky was bright, and he ordered people to execute all the more than 30 rangers who were tied up. By the light of the torches, he wrote a letter, buckled his own print, and ordered the heads of Liu Qu, Queen Zhaoxin, and Liu Qu's three sons to be put into a box and handed over to the leading lieutenant. He ordered him to hand over the letter and his head to Liu Aiji, and inform him of what he had done today. The commander of the army was already frightened, and hurriedly said yes.
At the moment before the sun came out, Ouyang Xuan disappeared from the sight of the escort Han Jun with the Yulin Army and the White Wolf brother and sister. The commander of the army immediately ordered the scene to be cleaned up, and then returned to the village where he was stationed, and piled up the corpses of hundreds of rangers in a clearing not far from the entrance of the village. According to the words of the soldiers left behind in the village, it turned out that after the lieutenant led some people to the woods to check, hundreds of rangers broke into the village, killed and injured several soldiers, and rescued Liu Qu and his henchmen's families. Du Wei was also sweating after hearing this, and now he is also grateful to Ouyang Xuan, if it weren't for Ouyang Xuan's action, Liu Qu's plan to secretly Chen Cang was enough to allow Du Wei and the escort soldiers to raid their homes and destroy the door. Hurriedly sent a fast cavalry to inform the Taishou and Du Wei of Hanzhong County that the matter here was not something he could afford. When the Taishou of Hanzhong County came with the commander and led the troops, it was already two days later, after inspecting the field, he read Ouyang Xuan's letter again, and wrote a letter to report to the imperial court with the first level. The commander of the army took the escort soldiers and rushed back to Chang'an overnight through the arrangement of the Taishou of Hanzhong County. The tragic death of Liu Qu's whole family and Ouyang Xuan's ghostly spirit did not make the kings of the Han Court feel like a thorn in the back, and they were always on guard, and their behavior and deeds were restrained a lot.
Ouyang Xuan, who was in Dawan's base, drank tea while listening to General Yulin's Linghu Zhang's report on the situation in various places. After Linghu Zhang's report, Ouyang Xuan put down the teacup and said, "Prepare enough food, tents, and relief materials for all bases, and go to Shandong with me for rescue." "Your Majesty, the movement of Shandong is a matter of the Han Court, and if you go rashly, it may cause war." "It's okay, I have the Martial Emperor Gold Medal. Immediately contacted the Zhongnanshan base and sent an envoy, saying that I wanted to lead the troops to Shandong to rescue the ground movement, and I was responsible for the grain and grass. Ling contacted Xia Gu, and in the name of me, asked Li Shangshu to send food and building materials out of Shanggu on his behalf, and rescued the people of Shandong in the name of the country, and sent an envoy to contact the Han Court, and asked the Han Court to facilitate it in the name of the country." "No!" Linghu Zhang was ordered to leave the palace.
A day later, news came from all sides that Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty had overwhelmed Huo Guang and the courtiers, agreed to Ouyang Xuan's plan, and joined Ju Yongguan to meet the Chinese aid materials, and at the same time agreed that King Xia would lead the army to rescue him, and he could only carry his own defensive weapons. Although the prince on Xia Gu's side had some objections, he couldn't stand the motion of the emperor and the courtiers, so he had to obey.
Although the earthquake that occurred on the Shandong Peninsula has been recorded in history, the magnitude of the earthquake is unknown. Especially in Beihai County and Langxi County, to the landslide, the destruction of the city, the destruction of the temple, which shows the strength of the earthquake magnitude. The base in Zhongnanshan simply reported the Shandong earthquake and did not describe it in detail, but Shanggu and Beiping counties reported in great detail. Due to the distance, many houses and the walls of the Great Wall were destroyed. Ouyang Xuan planned to take a look, and by the way, he also showed his presence in Han Land.
