The fire in Yecheng finally did not burn for three days and three nights, and as soon as the New Han army arrived, they immediately took control of the whole city and organized manpower to extinguish the fire in the Yecheng Palace.

However, many things have not been able to unfold, because Yecheng at this moment is mourning again.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 100,000 or 200,000 people were burned to death in the Yecheng Palace. Such a huge death toll is something that Tai Shici and other generals could not imagine. This is a human tragedy, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Shi A and others all blame themselves, and their mood is extremely low.

Xi Zhicai also rushed to Yecheng and launched an investigation into the casualties of more than 100,000 and 200,000 people in Yecheng.

The main reason for the results of the investigation is that after the Yecheng Imperial Palace was breached, because the soldiers of the New Han Army led by Tai Shi Ci were too few, there was no actual regulation and control of all the Yecheng people who rebelled with Tai Shi Ci and the Yuan soldiers who surrendered. Tai Shici's order could no longer become the will of the people and the soldiers of the Yuan army at that time. Those angry people, mixed with those Yuan soldiers who were forced to surrender, rushed into the palace together. Well, at that time, the New Han Army had indeed completely lost control over the people of Yecheng and the Yuan army, and almost all the people and Yuan soldiers surrounding the imperial city saw that they could rush into the palace, perhaps, most people also thought that the palace was a mysterious place, and it was rare to see it once, and it would also follow the crowd to rush into the palace, so that in a short period of time, there were really hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who poured into the imperial city together.

After entering the palace, I saw countless dazzling treasures in the palace, at that time, the people, the soldiers of the Yuan army, faced the chaotic situation in the palace and the temptation of treasures. They were all so greedy that they forgot what their main purpose was in storming the palace. Thus began to scramble for the belongings of the palace.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

Countless treasures. The fight was also quite cruel, and at that time, the entire palace was killed by each other in order to compete for property, and the palace was in chaos.

Although Tai Shi Ci and Shi A and others shouted in time, some of the people and Yuan soldiers stopped and did not kill each other for property. However, a considerable number of people, seeing that Qian is open-minded, where can they listen to Tai Shici's shouting? So. The chaos in the palace continues.

Because of this, this led Yuan Shao to take advantage of it, and Yuan Shao was also prepared. In this way, in the entire imperial palace, almost all the gates of the imperial city were set on fire by Yuan Shao's faction, cutting off all retreats. In addition, Yuan Shao not only ordered people to set fire to the various gates of the palace, but also in the palace. There were also many palaces, which were set on fire by Yuan Shao's people at the same time. The palace pavilions in the palace are stacked on top of each other, and most of them are wooden buildings. Under the deliberate arson, this fire started quickly. It won't be long before the fire spreads throughout the palace. Other than that. At the same time, Yuan Shao also let people set fires and light countless wolf smokes. Toxic smoke rises.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians broke into the palace. If you want to escape danger, you can't do it in a moment. Most of the people were able to escape, and it was because Tai Shi Ci and Shi A were shouting to guide the soldiers and civilians caught in the fire, so that they could escape. But many of them were suffocated by the poisonous smoke and were left in the palace and burned alive.

Xi Zhicai estimated that the casualties in the palace, at the beginning, were one or two hundred thousand people who were chasing Yuan Shao, and the people of Yuan's army, the people of Yecheng, and the people of Yuan's army killed each other. Subsequently, the number of people who killed each other in order to fight for property should be even higher, estimated at 60,000 or 70,000 people.

Well, don't be surprised that the hundreds of thousands of people who poured into the palace died in a short period of time because of looting property, I'm afraid that there are more than that. You must know that at that time, the military and civilians were mixed, and there were also the original palace guards. It's really too easy to rob each other of their belongings and get killed, and to kill people. When Xi Zhicai ordered people to sort out the charred corpses from the palace, he found that many corpses were holding some palace property in their hands, and this part of the people was probably killed when they were fighting for property, and the obvious wounds on these people's bodies are proof.

The rest, who were burned to death, should have been more than 100,000 people.

The casualties in Yecheng were purely man-made accidents, but they were not killed in the war. Xi Zhicai felt that the situation was a bit strict, and immediately sent the situation in Yecheng to Luoyang and Liu Yi to Liu Yi with a flying pigeon.

By the way, there are also the self-blame of Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and other generals, they all think that the people of Yecheng have such a big casualty, and they all have a little responsibility. Especially Tai Shi Ci, he thought that his assassination of Yuan Shao in Yecheng was too hasty, and he failed to estimate that such a big change would happen in Yecheng, so big that he Tai Shi Ci couldn't control it at all, so that it would cause such a large number of casualties among the soldiers and civilians in Yecheng. Tai Shi Ci believes that if he captures the imperial city after he can control the situation, then the situation may be a different result, at least, he will restrain the people who enter the palace, and will not let them see the wealth, fight, and kill each other.

Tai Shici pleaded guilty to Liu Yi and asked Liu Yi to transfer someone to take his place and lead his military horses, and he would rather go back to Luoyang and follow Liu Yi's side.

After reading Yecheng's intelligence, Liu Yi was a little surprised to see that the number of military and civilian casualties in Yecheng was indeed a bit large. However, Liu Yi didn't think that such a casualty figure would have much to do with his New Han Dynasty, the New Han Army, as well as Tai Shici and Zhao Yun.

As for Tai Shi Ci wanting to ask for a crime or something, Liu Yi didn't think that Tai Shi Ci had any crimes. This, it may be that they saw so many people dead at the scene, and, in the situation at that time, it seems that they were also people who voted for the New Han Army and felt hurt and blamed themselves.

Well, Liu Yi believes that even if Yecheng has more than 100,000 or 200,000 casualties, its tragic situation is afraid that it can't be compared with the scene of mourning in the city when he was in Longyou City.

Now, Yuan Shao has been defeated, and the entire Jizhou can be said to have been recovered by the New Han Dynasty. It's a good thing, a happy event.

It is conceivable that if the New Han army finally forcibly attacked Yecheng, and now Yuan Shao fought a big battle in Yecheng, then this casualty figure will definitely not be only these more than 100,200,000 people. When the time comes, there will certainly be more people who will die.

In a situation like the one now, Lewis thinks it's already the best.

What's more, Liu Yi believes that at that time, since the soldiers and civilians of Yecheng had already voted for Tai Shi Ci, the New Han Army, and the New Han Dynasty, they must have that kind of consciousness and obey Tai Shi Ci's orders. However, if they don't, then they can't be regarded as people of the New Han Dynasty and the New Han Army. In this way, to die is to die. Although it is sad and sad, Lewy does not think that this is anything unacceptable.

For this reason, Liu Yi immediately gave instructions to Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici.

First, let them not blame themselves too much for recovering Yecheng and killing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yecheng, and not because of this incident affecting their normal mentality and what they should do.

Second, we should not be constrained because of the mourning of Yecheng, and think that the work is difficult to carry out. They must immediately strictly control Yecheng and control the entry and exit of people in Yecheng, and at the same time, immediately start the work of household registration in Yecheng. Only in this way can it be possible to find out the specific casualty figures of Yecheng. Only in this way can it be possible to do the following work well. For example, even if you want to care for them, you have to know their real situation, right?

Third, that is, Tai Shici believes that his shouting in the palace is correct, and that there must be a strict investigation of the competition for property in the palace. Especially those who surrendered to the Yuan army. If those who are lucky enough to escape from the fire of the palace and kill people in the palace for looting property, they must not be tolerated. If they can't figure it out, they can tell them clearly, because they, whether the people of Yecheng or Yuan Shao's army, are not considered to be from the New Han Dynasty at all, they are not their own people, if they are not satisfied, they will be taken down directly and disposed of as prisoners.

Liu Yi believes that this Yecheng incident has sounded a wake-up call for himself, as well as for the Xinhan Army and the entire Han Dynasty.

You know, what is captured now is only the palace of Yecheng, so what about the future? To defeat Cao Cao's palace in Xudu, but also the palace of Liu Zhang in Lizhou, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and, if there is an expedition in the future, how many palaces will be conquered in Fanbang?

If there is a break into the palace every time to grab property, then what else will Liu Yi fight?

This Yecheng incident, Liu Yi believes that it must be dealt with severely, whether they are ordinary people or Yuan Jun's troops, as long as they are found to have problems, they will not be tolerated.

If you don't use a tough code to deter the people of the world, it will not play a deterrent role.

Since Leo Yi came to this era, because some people rebelled and eventually became thieves? Looking at today's Han Dynasty, in addition to the territory of the power ruled by the New Han Dynasty, there are also some Yellow Turban soldiers left over from the Yellow Turban Rebellion that have become bandits and robbers. At the moment, they should still be doing evil.

Thieves are also the people first, and if they are not given sufficient deterrence, those who seem to be pure will also become thieves.

Regarding the situation in Yecheng, Liu Yi felt pity and pathetic in his heart, but he would not think that the soldiers and civilians of Yecheng were pitiful. The main reason for the death of so many people is that they did not obey Tai Shici's orders, and they took the blame on themselves.

Liu Yi's instructions were soon sent to Yecheng.

When Xi Zhicai saw it, he felt that this was really the reason, and it was impossible for them to delay their work because of the tragic situation in Yecheng, and they all had to act in accordance with the basic national law of the New Han Dynasty. (To be continued......)
