The land of Guanzhong is fertile, the water source is widely distributed, and the descendants have the so-called eight rivers around Chang'an, and among the eight waters, the first place is the Wei River.

The Wei River passes through the side of Chencang County, surging and suddenly flows into the Yellow River, Chencang stands beside the Wei River, in the early years, the water of this river was led as a moat, and the sanitation of the county town is not large. But by the unification of Great Qin, the world's soldiers stopped, and this moat no longer drained and had long since dried up, so Zhang Han's attack could succeed in one fell swoop.

To the east of Chencang, outside the moat, is a large field, after the army of the five counties controlled the situation in Chencang, except for a small number of people who stayed to maintain law and order, most of them have been evacuated and set up barracks here.

At this time, outside the camp, thousands of Qin soldiers stood with spears up, surrounding a large square area, and dozens of swords stood in the center with broad-backed broadswords.

With Zhang Han's order, under the constant urging of the soldiers, all the people of Chencang mobilized and came to the wilderness one by one.

These people are all yellow-skinned and thin-eyed, and their lives are obviously extremely difficult. Looking at such a big scene, they didn't know what Zhang Han was going to do, and they all looked panicked, so they could only stand in place with both strands of war.

After a while, the soldiers led the officials of each county straight through the crowd and came to the center of the venue. Looking at these officials who rushed in, there were some people in Chen Cang who knew a little about government affairs, and they were already speechless in shock.

Although he didn't know most of these officials, he was in Yi County, Hu County, Yu County, Huang County, and Yong County...... These counties in the western part of the internal history that were reluctant to respond to Zhang Han at the beginning, at this moment, the county commanders are all there, and there are a large number of officials, and it seems that they are all going to show loyalty to King Yong.

In addition to these people, plus the officials of the five counties who came here with Zhang Han before, this time it can be said that the heads of all counties in Guanzhong are there, and no one knows what Zhang Han wants to do when he lets them come to this city gate at this time.

Although the sun had risen to the middle of the day, the light was bleak and dim, giving people a sense of coldness out of thin air.

"Hu County Order, which one is King Yong singing? With such a big scene, it can't be done to us, right? ”

Looking at the crowded crowd in front of him, the county magistrate of Wangxian couldn't help but sweat, he touched his forehead, and asked Hu Xiang, the indifferent magistrate of Yongxian County.

Huang County and Yong County are not far from each other, both are west of Chencang, so the communication with Fan Xu is also closer, Zhang Han is so in battle, no wonder he is timid.

"No, it won't! He didn't dare. "Hu Xiang has seen the wind and waves, and he is not as flustered as the officials around him. A trace of confidence appeared on his face, and he comforted the county order of Wangxian County: "Don't worry, if you don't obey the king's orders, in addition to our Yongxian County and Huang County, how can these county orders of Wugong County get involved." As the saying goes: The law does not blame the public, now King Yong's internal and external troubles, if he punishes us, tomorrow Yongdi will be in a mess, I Hu Xiang take the head to guarantee, everyone will be fine. ”

Hearing Hu Xiang say this, the officials beside him finally put a little at ease, Hu Xiang said well, now that the king of Han Zhai and King Saiwang are eyeing him, Zhang Han naturally does not dare to take down all the real power factions in each county at once, so if he is smart, he will definitely not choose this time to do it.

After a while, there was a lot of noise in the city, and Zhang Han took the lead and came out of Chencang County. Behind him were hundreds of heavily armed soldiers, all of whom lined up like a torrent of steel, following the octopus fish. The bleak sunlight shone on the armor, flashing with a cold light, making everyone present feel a chill in their hearts.

When Zhang Han went straight to the open space outside the city and was about to go up to the temporary high platform, there was another commotion at the city gate, and Chen Cangyuan's officials were escorted out of the city gate one after another.

One by one, they were escorted to the middle by the soldiers who had no sick faces. At this moment, the people who were originally very suspicious exploded, and they didn't know the commanders of other counties, but the officials of Chen Cang, big and small, were known to everyone in the local area.

At the beginning, these officials were in charge of Chencang, what a majesty it was, and the small people did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for them. But look at it now, the old men who were powerful and blessed at the beginning are like dead dogs, and they have no backbone. At this moment, the people had a deeper understanding of Zhang Han's power.

Although these people of Chencang did not know what was happening, they could also guess one or two from the scene at this time, and the officials of Chencang defected to Liu Bang and took the lead in the rebellion. I'm afraid that Zhang Han is going to make a move on them. All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion and confusion in the audience.

Chen Cang's county commanders, county lieutenants, county officials, as well as Gong Cao, Ling Shi, rafter prison, Wen Wuwu, stables, warehouse officials, etc., there were more than 20 officials, more than a dozen rebel leaders, and hundreds of rebel prisoners were detained in one place, there were two or three hundred people.

Zhang Han, under the protection of the generals, walked to the high platform with his sword in hand, and the chief officials of the five counties stood under the stage with a serious face. Han Tan stood on the first step, and at this moment he clenched his palms, although Zhang Han had already told him how to do it, until now, he still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Han's gourd.

When everyone arrived, the noise of the audience gradually subsided, and all eyes were focused on Zhang Han's body, waiting for him to speak.

Zhang Han sat down in his seat, but he was not in a hurry to speak, but looked at the county officials under the stage, and a cold look appeared on his face, as if he was completely dissatisfied with them.

Staring for a moment, Zhang Han nodded towards Han Tan in front of him.

Han Tan took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and read it out loud to 10,000 people: "The people are the state, the law is the heavy weapon, this king is the king of Yongdi, and the only thing that matters is the people and the law." Today, there are Chen Cang officials who collude with foreign enemies, incite rebellion, and destroy the society. ”

The more than 20 officials of Chen Cang were already trembling, and when they heard this, their legs were even weaker, and if it weren't for the support of soldiers behind them, I am afraid that they would have collapsed to the ground.

The people present couldn't help but whisper, but the county officials standing on the side were expressionless and watched this scene calmly.

They had thought of this scene before they came, since the Chen Cang rebels were defeated, the people who led the rebellion would inevitably die after all. This is not only Zhang Han's move to deter the people, but also the intention of killing chickens and monkeys against county officials.

The corners of Hu Xiang's mouth showed a little curvature, and Zhang Han's hands were all in his expectation, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys? I'm too young.

Zhang Han looked at Han Tan, nodded at him, and motioned to continue. Han Tan did not hesitate and kept reading it to the end.

"Yongdi Yi County, Hu County, Yu County, Huang County, Yong County, Wugong, Meiyang, Duyang Eight Counties, do not obey the king's orders, refuse to send troops, the county orders long beard"

"The King forgives sins."

The county officials knelt down together and apologized to Zhang Han for their sins and begged for mercy. There were two or three hundred officials from the eight counties, and they knelt down together at this moment, and the momentum was amazing.

A trace of solemnity appeared on Han Tan's face, he knew that this was also a demonstration to Zhang Han by the officials of the eight counties, and if Zhang Han punished all the officials of the eight counties at this moment, it would inevitably cause chaos.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Han's body, and the lives of so many officials present were all in Zhang Han's words. Will Zhang Han choose to endure humiliation and bear the burden, or be angry and punish the crime regardless of the aftermath?

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Han walked down the high platform step by step and came to the kneeling crowd: "Are you really repentant?" ”

"I regret not being at the beginning, apologize for my sins, and ask the king to know it."

When everyone heard this, there was a step down, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and defended one after another.

When Zhang Han heard this, a smile of interest appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Okay, if the officials in the counties know their mistakes and repent, they will be exempted from your capital crimes." ”

"Thank you, King!" "King Xie."

When the officials of the eight counties heard Zhang Han's words, the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground all of a sudden, and it seemed that Zhang Han was still ready to let them go. However, their laughter had not yet dissipated, and they were immediately shocked by Zhang Han's next sentence.

"The death penalty may be forgiven, but you must prove your resolve. Now there are more than 20 generals of the Han army present, and the county commanders are invited to personally slash the spies to prove their innocence! ”
