The officials of the eight counties were originally lucky, and they didn't dare to deal with their ideas at the same time, but they didn't expect Zhang Han to break them one by one like this. Seeing the fate of Hu Xiang, where did the rest of the officials still have any confidence.

"Li County Order, are you willing to kill someone?"

Yongxian and Wangxian are close to each other, and the exchanges between the two counties and Fan Xu are also closer.

"I'm willing to kill! I'm willing to kill ......"

Li Xiang, the county magistrate of Huangxian County, was already frightened by Hu Xiang's death, and almost didn't think about it, and immediately responded.

"So very well, right and right, with his weapons." A smile appeared on Zhang Han's face, as if he was satisfied with his response.

Hearing Zhang Han's order, the guards on the side hurriedly stepped forward and threw a big knife in front of the county commander Li Xiang, Li County Ling looked at the sharp blade in front of him, and then looked at the smiling Zhang Han standing in front of him, and the beads of sweat on his head flowed uncontrollably.

He looked at the other county orders behind him as if asking for help, only to find that these people were deliberately bowing their heads and keeping a distance from themselves.

Seeing that no one was willing to stand up for himself, Li Xiang couldn't help but laugh angrily.

That's it, that's it, do these people present think that they can escape in this way, his surname is Li is the first, and none of the county orders present can escape!

Thinking of this, the county magistrate of Wangxian no longer hesitated, picked up the sharp blade in front of him, stood up, and walked towards the bound captives not far away.

These prisoners of war knelt in three rows along the Wei River, and those in the first row were naturally rebellious officials of Chen Cang or prisoners of the Han army.

Li Xiang trembled and came to the front of the first row, stood in front of the leader, and slowly raised the butcher knife in his hand.

The person who was kneeling was also a tough person, and at this moment of life and death, there was no trace of cowardice on his face, but his eyes were round, and he looked at Li Xiang angrily, his eyes were full of hatred.

The county commander of Huangxian County closed his eyes, forced himself not to think about anything, gritted his teeth, raised his knife and slashed at the prisoner's neck......

"Wait!"

Just as the captives were about to be separated and blood splattered on the spot, a shout suddenly came, making Li Xiang's trembling hands stiffen in the air and unable to move.

This time the incident happened suddenly, not only Li Xiang, but everyone present was stunned, and after a while, everyone reacted, it turned out that the person who stopped drinking was none other than Zhang Han, who had been watching him coldly.

Li Xiang slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Han in disbelief, and then a burst of joy suddenly surged in his heart, Zhang Han interrupted himself, it seemed that he was going to change his mind and not let himself kill anyone.

In addition to Li Xiang, the other officials present were also relieved, as long as Zhang Han didn't let them kill, it would be the best result.

But it's a pity that things are not as they expected, Zhang Han's next move made everyone stunned, only to see him slowly walked to him, pointed to the prisoner of war in front of Li Xiang and said: "Before Li County's order moves, this king still has something to say, and it is not too late to make a decision after listening to this." Li County Ling didn't know, after the king's all-night interrogation, this person was a general under the account of Pei Gong, and he was also the ancestor of Pei County, and the king of Han had the friendship of the township party, and won the trust of the king of Han on weekdays. The task of plotting against Chen Cang this time, except for the main general Fan Xu, is his highest official position. If you want to kill him, I am afraid that the king of Han will hold a grudge, and I hope to think about it carefully, whether he is still willing to do it? ”

Everyone didn't expect that Zhang Han asked Li Xiang to stop, just to say these few words. Although everyone had long known that this messenger was going to offend Liu Bang, they couldn't help but feel cold when they heard Zhang Han's explanation at this moment.

Li Xiang's face was originally extremely pale, but after listening to Zhang Han's words at this moment, he couldn't help but turn red.

Willing, unwilling. Do you have a choice? Instead of worrying about offending Liu Bang, it is more practical to consider your own life.

As soon as he thought of this, he no longer hesitated, nor did he answer Zhang Han's question, but his heart hardened, and he swung the sharp blade in his hand towards the neck of the captive in front of him.

At the moment of swinging the knife, his determination was beyond his expectations. Lee Sang suddenly found that when he let go of all these worries and decided to completely switch to one side, the pressure he was under became lighter.

The Han Wang's fellow townsman didn't snort, and immediately fell in a pool of blood, while the county magistrate of Wangxian County threw the blade in his hand aside casually, and knelt down towards Zhang Han with a plop.

"The king, his subordinates know that they are wrong, Li Xiang will definitely swear allegiance to the death in the future, saddle the horse before and after, and let the king gallop. If you break this oath, you will teach me to renounce both men and gods! ”

Things have come to this point, Li Xiang knows that everything is difficult to change, and it really doesn't make any sense to be stubborn.

Zhang Han can calculate everyone to this point, which means that he is not a mediocre master, since he has decided to hand over Liu Bang, it is okay to work for him. So Li Xiang simply gave up the hostility completely and threw himself into Zhang Han.

"Good, good." Zhang Han looked at Li Xiang's relieved face, naturally understood what he was thinking, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face.

He turned to the other side and asked the other kneeling magistrates, "What about you?" What do you guys say? ”

The county magistrates who originally lowered their heads, but when they saw the performance of Li county magistrates at this moment, they all raised their heads thoughtfully, obviously, they all understood what the best choice was at this moment.

Finally, one of the big men with tiger-eyed eyes stood up, picked up the sharp blade that Li Xian ordered to fall to the ground without saying a word, went straight to the captive, and cut down the second Han prisoner who had fallen to the ground with fright.

After doing all this, he turned to Zhang Han and knelt down respectfully, knelt in a row with Li County Order, and said in a rough voice: "Yixian County Commander Jiang Yuan is willing to serve the king!" ”

With Jiang Yuan taking the lead, other county orders no longer hesitated, as well as other officials below the eight county county orders, many of them had experience in the army in the early years, so it was natural to kill someone.

The same knife was thrown down and picked up, and its edge was stained with red blood. The Han captives, kneeling in a row, fell one by one, and the blood stained the ground beneath them blood-red.

Not all captives were as hardened as the first, and for a moment, the cries for mercy, the cries of pain, and the scolding rang out, and before they died, they vented their last emotions about the world.

But their venting did not have the slightest effect, and none of the officials who went up hesitated, turned a deaf ear to all kinds of noises, and only carried out the killing.

The people gathered on the side were already silent, they were frightened by this bloody scene, many people covered their mouths, but many more covered their eyes - since the unification of Great Qin and the end of the fighting, when have they seen such a large-scale execution.

The rolling Wei River kept flowing, as if it was playing a sad song for this massacre, and in this tragic and silent atmosphere, in addition to Jiang Yuan, five people knelt down beside Li Xiang.

So far, in addition to the previous Yongxian county order Hu Xiang was killed, the county orders of the other seven counties have all killed the Han army prisoner Mingzhi, expressing their complete allegiance to Zhang Han.

And behind these seven people, kneeling full of officials from the seven counties, they didn't say a word, just looked at Zhang Han and buckled their heads deeply on the ground.

Zhang Han sat back in his seat and watched this scene silently, he finally felt a little like the king of Yongdi until now.

Before, their prestige was seriously insufficient, even if it was these small county orders, they dared to take the opportunity to argue with themselves, but after this deterrence, they must have known their own strength.

On Zhang Han's side, Han Tan was also full of feelings. At the beginning, he was worried that Zhang Han's killing of chickens and monkeys would not be able to scare the county orders, but now seeing the performance of the officials of the eight counties, he has finally let go of the heart that he has been hanging.

At the same time, his admiration for Zhang Han in his heart became stronger and stronger, whether it was the previous raid on Chen Cang, or the current allegiance of the officials, Zhang Han's approach was unexpected, but it achieved excellent results, so that he had to sigh secretly and have to be convinced.

I don't know how long it took, the killing finally stopped, no one dared to oppose King Yong, everyone chose to be loyal to Zhang Han, and knelt in several rows in unison.

On the other hand, on the captive's side, it is a hell on earth. The corpses of hundreds of people fell horizontally on the riverbank, and the blood coagulated together, converging into a small river into the Wei River, dyeing the surface of the Wei River a faint red.

The few Han captives had been slaughtered, and the leaders of the Chencang rebels had also been beheaded, leaving only a few dozen crumbling rebel soldiers begging for mercy in despair.

At this time, not only the officials of the eight counties, but also all the soldiers under Zhang Han, the commanders of the five counties who were originally with the army, and all the people of Chen Cang, all of them knelt on the ground, facing the middle of the crowd, Zhang Han, who was like a god, showing their loyalty with the most respectful attitude.

"Boom!"

Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and the weather that was originally shining with the sun had become gloomy at some point.

But it's the beginning of summer, and it's time for thunder. With this thunder, it also announced that Yongwang Zhanghan's control of Guanzhong had finally reached an unprecedented height.
