Chapter 223: Xiongjin City
Chapter 223: Xiongjin City
On June 2 of the fourth year of Qianning, Zhen Xuan fled to Tianze City, which was only thirty miles away from Xiongjin City, and was shocked to hear the news that Xiongjin City was broken. Zhen Xuan came from the bottom of her heart, and cried in the direction of Xiongjin City: "Since ancient times, there are no two masters of the people, since the sky has given birth to the king of Korea, how can he be widowed!" With that, he pulled out the sword at his waist and killed himself in grief and anger.
Zhen Xuan's entourage was afraid that Zhen Xuan's body would be discovered by the enemy, so they used it to vent their anger and threw Zhen Xuan's body into the sea for burial. Zhen Xuan rose in the sea and died in the sea. It can be regarded as in line with the fate of Zhen Xuan's life.
June 7 of the fourth year of Qianning
Li Cunhuan rode the angry lion, and under the protection of a group of soldiers, he rode his horse and prepared to enter Xiongjin City. At the gate of the city, Zhen Jingang, the fourth son of Zhen Xuan, the prince of Baekje, tied his hands, ** his upper body, knelt down on his knees at the city gate, and pleaded guilty to Li Cunhuan.
Li Cunhuan looked at Zhen Jingang condescendingly on horseback, and couldn't help but sigh infinitely in his heart. Zhen Jingang is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, but he is still pushed out, hoping to gain his own forgiveness and pity with the lowest posture, this is war. does not pay attention to benevolence, nor does it pay attention to morality, only the difference between success and defeat.
Li Cunhuan rode his horse to Zhen Jingang, turned over and dismounted, and looked down at Zhen Jingang with cold eyes.
"Zhen Jingang, the criminal minister of the Yi Kingdom, knocked on the general and begged the general to whip him to punish the guilty minister's crimes." Zhen Jingang's voice was a little stumbling, and it could be heard that he was very nervous.
Ah Cilong, who was on the side, hurriedly took advantage of the situation to come out, holding a scroll in both hands, and said respectfully: "The king of Baekje has lost his morality, and the prince deeply feels that his own talent is insufficient, so he begs the general to represent Baekje and give Baekje two million Li people a petition to enter the Tang Dynasty!" The prince sent a map of Baekje and begged the general to forgive the people of Baekje. ”
Li Cunhuan nodded noncommittally, glanced at Ah Cilong, but quickly focused on Zhen Jingang, who was in a nervous mood, and suddenly Li Cunhuan pulled out a thorn from Zhen Jingang's back, this is a real thorn, the barb on it pulled out a blood mark behind Zhen Jingang, and Zhen Jingang screamed involuntarily in pain.
Without waiting for Zhen Jingang to make any moves, the two Iron Eagle soldiers behind Li Cunhuan quickly clamped up left and right, and one pressed Zhen Jingang's shoulder with one hand. Even if Zhen Jingang had the intention to avoid Li Cunhuan, there was no way.
"General! Please stop! Ah Cilong couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Cunhuan glanced at Ah Cilong coldly, and said coldly, "Isn't this what you asked?" Guilty of pleading is not a formality. ”
Ah Cilong couldn't help it, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he was refuted by Li Cunhuan's words. also panicked because he had angered Li Cunhuan.
To be honest, let alone A Cilong, even a few henchmen behind Li Cunhuan, Zhou Dewei, Yelu Abaoji, Gao Siji and others couldn't imagine that Li Cunhuan would really whip Zhen Jingang.
Generally speaking, anyone who surrenders will be lenient, not only to gain a reputation for mercy, but also to appease the people and surrender generals. Even if you have any scruples about this lord, you don't have to whip the other party in public, and after a few days, add some ingredients to the lord's meal, in the history books, isn't it that the lord of a certain country died violently at home in a certain year and month.
Even if it's doubt, it's also doubt. But Li Cunhuan looks like this......
"Although you have not ascended the throne, as a prince and as the son of Zhen Xuan, you have the responsibility of acting as a father. Ben will punish the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in this generation. After Li Cunhuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhen Jingang, who was trembling at his feet, and said coldly: "This whip is disloyal!" As a courtier, he does not think about serving the king, and he does not think about the suffering caused by the war to the people, it is disloyal! ”
As soon as Li Cunhuan's words fell, the thorns in his hands slammed down, "Smack!" A long blood mark was pulled out on Zhen Jingang's back.
"The sinner knows his mistake! The sinner knows his mistake! Please spare your life, the General! Please spare your life, the General! Zhen Jingang is no longer just screaming, he has not suffered any crimes, his tears and snot have already come out, and his voice is full of crying.
"This is your father's fault, and it is unrighteous to kill his boss!" After Li Cunhuan finished speaking, he was whipped again.
"Poor soldiers! It is unkind to make the people live in misery! After Li Cunhuan finished speaking, he was whipped again.
However, these whippings were not only on Zhen Jingang, but also on the hearts of all Baekje ministers. Li Cunhuan said that he was disloyal, unkind, and unjust, and they have nothing to do with them as courtiers? What's more, many of them were originally former ministers of Silla, but now they have become Zhen Xuan's courtiers.
"Ben will come on behalf of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, not only is you slack, but you also welcome the soldiers, which is disrespectful!" Li Cunhuan is another whip. The pampered Zhen Jingang had suffered this kind of suffering, and his throat was already hoarse, but he didn't know whether to moan or scream in a low voice.
"Detain it in the dungeon, return to Datang, and play the Son of Heaven to discuss the crime again!" Li Cunhuan threw the already bloody thorns in his hand back and roared.
I don't know why, although it was just a low roar from Li Cunhuan, all the subordinates, including A Cilong, couldn't help but tremble.
"Into town!" Li Cunhuan turned over his horse and glanced at A Cilong coldly. Acilong embarrassed and frightened, lowered his head and put away the album in his hand, and led the way in front with his head down.
On both sides of the bluestone paved road in Xiongjin City, there are all people. However, their eyes were glazed, and they just stood indifferently on both sides of the road, if it wasn't for the fact that they scratched it from time to time, and those who didn't know would have said who had placed the dummy here.
But Li Cunhuan didn't care, he came today to Liwei, and he wanted to bring North Korea under his control. And the forces here are very chaotic or readable. Today's Korea is like the medieval era in Europe, the Warring States period in Japan, and the Spring and Autumn period in China. The city lords in various places have a very big surname, so Li Cunhuan will take such a strong attitude, and he doesn't have time to Huairou.
But this does not mean that Li Cunhuan will not win over old ministers, such as Ah Cilong, Li Cunhuan entered the Baekje Palace to rest, and the first person to meet was Ah Cilong. Ah Cilong is a smart person, and Li Cunhuan believes that smart people know what to do. In addition, Juntian Ling also issued the same tough attitude as Li Cunhuan.
Although it was not implemented immediately, it was mainly because of the cumbersome things such as measuring the fields and dealing with the field registers and household registers. But everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before Lee Cun-hwan wins the hearts and minds of the people of Baekje.
