PS: It's just that the stall left by the predecessors of the Great Jin Dynasty is too bad, there are too many tigers and wolves in the north, and such a glorious victory of the Northern Expedition is just a seat with the right to roll the dice at the Central Plains gambling table where gambling sticks gather.

Liu Yu looked at the map, and a feeling of exhaustion after relaxation hit his whole body, and he suddenly felt old.

Chang'an has been taken, and Yao Qin, a Qiang man who has been passed down for three generations, is now considered to have no eggs under the nest. Since the Yongjia Rebellion, the Great Jin Dynasty has ancestors first, and then Huan Wen, all of whom have been soldiers pointing north, shaking for a while, but they all have a beginning and an end, and they are all anticlimactic. Able to break Bashu, Pingqingyan, take Guanlong, Dangping the Central Plains, return to the old capital, let the Yellow River north of the land re-pursue the Great Jin Zhengshuo, the common people wear Han clothes, Jie Jieran Liu Yu alone. He used his eyes to draw a virtual border line of the new country of the Great Jin Dynasty on the map, knowing that within this line, he would become a great hero known to women and children in the government and the opposition, and pass it on to future generations in this capacity.

It's just that the stall left by the predecessors of the Great Jin Dynasty is too bad, there are too many tigers and wolves in the north, and such a glorious victory of the Northern Expedition is just a seat with the right to roll the dice on the Central Plains gambling table where gambling sticks gather.

As soon as Chang'an was lost, the movements of the Qin defenders who were originally blocking Rouran on the stable line of the northern boundary of Guanzhong can be seen that they can neither turn the tide and defeat the Jin army, nor are they willing to surrender to the southern barbarians, nor can they pass through Guanzhong to defect to Xianbei, and it seems that the best strategy is to open the door to Rouran and use their iron horses to avenge the lost country.

As for those officials and generals who refused to submit to Rouran and refused to bow to the southern army, and of course, there were a large number of old and young people of the Sima family and the Huan family who took refuge in the Qin State because of the internal strife of the Jin Dynasty, there was only one way left. That is to defect to the Great Wei and deal with the aggressive political enemies of the south side by side with the Xianbei people. And fantasized that there was a chance to be able to kill back and revive the foundation of the Sima family.

In this way, this part of the newly incorporated Great Jin Dynasty was related to Chinese territory. It was sandwiched between the two strong enemies of the Rouran people's Great Xia and the Xianbei people's Great Wei. They were on the side of the couch, and the horses' hooves came as they spoke. The Great Jin Dynasty was fundamentally in the south of the Yangtze River, and the boat division had to connect several rivers in order to send reinforcements to the northwest. It must be stupid to fight on two fronts, and Dawei has been completely offended, and there is no possibility of maneuvering, so Guanzhong is still fighting, and Liu Yu has already written a personal letter to Helian Bobo, the lord of Great Xia, and he is about brothers. The latter found someone to write a reply. He memorized it, and then spoke to the messenger in a good voice. The messenger wrote it down on the spot and brought it back to Liu Yu for his life. After reading it, Liu Yu was ashamed of his writings, and he was impressed by this barbarian leader, and at the same time knew in his heart that Helian was scheming and would never sit back and watch the southerners swallow Guanzhong alone.

All these frontal enemies need to be dealt with with by the brains of the car bucket and the surging blood of the rivers, and these Liu Yu are not lacking in self-confidence. He really needs to be careful about the enemies he needs to watch out for. It is the Great Jin Dynasty itself, which is currently behind it. This dynasty is like a qiē dynasty in history, once the rivers begin to decline, not only do they have no ability, but they also can't see others have the ability. Very good at devouring the brave and wise who are loyal to it. Huan Wen is ambitious, and in the end it will be finished, which is another matter. But if he didn't have ambitions, I'm afraid he would be killed earlier. Zu Ti has no ambitions. Cross the river to the north empty-handed and hit the middle stream. An iron army fought the people of the Qiang tribe to lose their souls, but behind them they were wiped out, thanks to a friend with a liver and lungs like iron, only to rescue a daughter, save a little blood and bones.

Before the expedition, the imperial court had already named Liu Yu as a lieutenant. After this great victory, Liu Yu could figure out with his left foot that the imperial court would take out the duke to reward him. He can also use his left foot to think that some people will crawl at the feet of the emperor, crying and crying that Liu Yu's wolf ambition is obvious, such as blindly pretending to be powerful, taking charge of the government and politics, without restraint, I am afraid that there will be something undeniable. Liu Yu can also use his left foot to figure out that the emperor, who is fat and white, his bones are as soft as reeds, and his brain is as messy as paste, and he doesn't do anything except fuck the little eunuch's ass, there is no way but to cry stupidly.

However, the premise of this qiē is that he put two ballast stones on the ship of the Great Jin Dynasty. One is the Beifu soldier who is the only one who looks forward, and the other is the Wenchen who is stuck in a key position in the court. Now the main force of the Beifu soldiers is in Guanzhong, and the important affairs of Jiangnan are all in the hands of his henchman Liu Mu. If Liu Muzhi makes a mistake, the Sima family will have a chance to fight back. Of course, Liu Muzhi is not easy to make mistakes. He is the kind of person who looks at the complaint with ten lines of eyes, writes letters with a pen in his hand, listens to the report with small ears, and greets warmly and warmly in his mouth, but does not delay everything, and everything is never mixed and entangled. The hidden worry is that although he is smart, he is too tired to shoulder everything. Zhang Shao, the senator of the Chinese army, once reminded Liu Yu, saying that you have a big business now, and you can't help but have a backhand, in case Liu Muzhi is tired, who will take care of the important affairs of the military state for you? But Liu Yu pulled over and over, but he couldn't find a suitable successor. If things go wrong, there is a vacuum in the court, and the army is beyond the reach of the whip, as long as the Sima family has one or two sober and decisive iron rods, it is enough to block the country and throw Liu Yu in the hostile north.

Fortunately, at least the next qiē is under control.

He is about to hold a grand ceremony to enter Chang'an.

Since the destruction of Murong Yan, it has been a long time since he has enjoyed such a huge victory.

He turned around and slowly walked out of the tent.

In front of him, a person knelt down, and a large area knelt behind him.

Guo Xu, the leader of the hussars who escorted them here, stood under the sun with all his armor, his face was covered with sweat, but he was still solemn, waiting for the order of the captain.

It had been a while since Yao Hong arrived at Liu Yu's camp, and Liu Yu deliberately asked him to kneel for a while. Several seals of the Emperor of the Great Qin State, wrapped in brocade, were placed on a black wooden square plate on the ground in front of Yao Hong. Yao Hong himself was dressed in white, kneeling on the ground with his eyes closed, his hands loosely tied symbolically behind his back, and the concubines and princes behind him were sobbing lowly.

In August, it was still very hot during the day, and many of the people kneeling on the ground had already passed out from the sun. In their ignorant ears, on the trees inside and outside the barracks, the known cries sounded like "kill-kill-kill".

Hearing Liu Yu's footsteps walking out of the big tent, Yao Hong opened his eyes, and it happened that Liu Yu was also watching him. The eyes of the two men met.

The eyes that Yao Hong saw were similar to those of Emperor Wuzhao Yao Chang. Although one Han and one Qiang. The face is different, but this opponent in front of him. But he has the same sharp and cold eyes as his grandfather, and when he turns his eyes, he is like a white blade.

Liu Yu's eyes were pure and clear, with a hint of sadness, purely not like a son of heaven who was in charge of the country, life and death, blood on his hands, and full of scheming, but more like a leisurely scholar who wandered in poetry and scriptures. Such a look is often seen by Liu Yu in the eyes of those talents under the scenes. Thinking that this person is actually not a great evil, in terms of talent and mind. It is a million times better than the stupid emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, but he was born at the wrong time, and nominally he still has to be the prisoner of the stupid emperor, Liu Yu can't help but sigh in his heart.

sighed silently, beckoned, and motioned for Yao Hong to stand up and enter the tent to speak.

At the same time, he smiled and beckoned to Guo Xu, asking him to follow up.

Yao Hong got up slowly, waited for Jin Bing to untie his rope, and stepped into the tent. Get on your knees again:

"Yao Hong, the minister who died in the country and treated the crime, is ambushed with an axe, and knocks to see the captain!"

Liu Yu motioned for him to get up, pointed to a hu bed and asked him to sit down, Yao Hong said that the guilty minister did not dare to sit. Liu Yu said that if you want to sit, you will sit. Not in front of His Majesty the Emperor. After Yao Hong sat down, Liu Yu carefully looked at his face again before speaking:

"I heard that one of your sons committed suicide. Only 11 years old? ”

Yao Hong was silent, tears rolling in his eyes. Slowly lower your head.

"Your Yao family, there are too few people who are so loyal in their bones. If it weren't for the infighting among your brothers. To be honest, my Great Jin Dynasty didn't have a chance to get in. ”

The rebellion of Yao Bi and Yao Hui really hurt Daqin's vitality, damaged his muscles and bones, and broke the fence. Yao Hong himself has already reflected on this meaning. But the first time it comes out of the opponent's mouth, it's still heartbreaking.

"I have heard in Jiangnan that you Yao Hong is a good emperor, tolerant of his subordinates, and knows how to let the people recuperate. But in my opinion, this only shows that you are a good person, not that you are a good emperor. As the emperor, you are too soft to support this piece of country passed on to you by your grandfather and father! ”

This is also what the officials and people of Qin State have been saying for a long time, and now it is said by a hard-nosed person, which is like a counter-evidence, which makes Yao Hong even more frustrated. Liu Yu saw that his face was full of sorrow, both disdain and unbearable, so he stopped the topic:

"Are you hungry?"

Yao Hong hadn't eaten for more than ten hours, but suddenly he had this question, he couldn't beg for food from the enemy, and he couldn't insist that he wasn't hungry, so he didn't know how to answer. As if to cope with the scene for him, his stomach actually rumbled at this time.

Liu Yu smiled, called a personal soldier, and asked them to take Yao Hong to another tent for dinner. At the same time, he ordered to prepare a few other dishes for Empress Gao.

Yao Hong stood up mechanically and pointed to the outside of the big tent, meaning what about those people? Liu Yu said that you don't have to worry about this.

After Yao Hong left, Liu Yu glanced at the surrender roster on the table. There are two copies of the roster, one is all the concubines, princes and royal relatives brought by Yao Hong, and the other is his own relatives brought by Yao Hong.

Liu Yu pointed to the roster and smiled at Guo Xu:

"If I authorized you to dispose of these people and allowed you to kill whoever you wanted, what would you kill?"

Guo Xu was stunned, he didn't think about such a question:

"They all surrendered, why do you want to kill?"

Liu Yu was also stunned, he didn't expect Guo Xu to answer like this:

"You are really a dead brain of iron, you have been a soldier for so long, and you don't know how not to ask your boss! Straight to the questions! ”

Guo Xu thought for a while:

"If you have to kill, find out who has done a lot of bad things, bullied the common people, or harmed loyal ministers."

"Why?"

"Kill such a person and vent your anger for the people of Qin State, they will support us even more!"

Liu Yu laughed and shook his head:

"You, you, you're still a blacksmith after all. You're half right. Kill the bad people of the Qin State, and the good people of the Qin State will like us. But if you want me to choose, I want to kill, one is the bad guy of Qin, and the other is the loyal minister of Qin! If you don't kill the former, you can't win the hearts and minds of the people; If you don't kill the latter kind of people, you can't stand firm. The former type of person has no discipline, and if he has milk, he is a mother, easy to buy, and the threat is not great; The latter kind of people are difficult to use the treasure official position to entrap them, they are always thinking about rebuilding the Qin State, and as long as they have the opportunity, they will fight back. Instead of using ten times the strength to calm down in the future, it is better to spend the power of an executioner to extinguish it now! ”

Guo Xu had already understood that Liu Yu was going to kill. In the battle to destroy the Yan Kingdom, Liu Yu killed more than 3,000 members of the Murong family, and Guo Xu had not yet joined the army at that time. Heard about it afterwards. Now I see Liu Yu's murderous aura faintly in his voice, not only with a chill on his back:

"This Yao Hong is also going to be killed?"

"He won't be able to kill me. He was the emperor. It is going to be sent to Jiankang, just like Murong Chao did back then. Let's be honest. I would like the Emperor to pardon him. After all, he is a scholar, and he can't make any waves if he stays. But the nobles who had no ability to fight in the court had enough courage to kill the tiger, and they would not let him go, and would only hang his head on the pillars of the Suzaku Bridge to show off the majesty of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

Guo Xu had already heard the sarcasm in Liu Yu's tone:

"Then the rest of the people, do you want to pick some out and kill them?"

Liu Yu shook his head:

"The so-called good guys and bad guys just now are just reasoning. In fact, how can I have the time to screen them one by one? The court in the rear killed Yao Hong, but I left people under the knife in front to buy people's hearts. Isn't that a problem for yourself? There's nothing to say, as long as you fall into the net, if you get a Yao character, you won't leave anything behind, and you will kill them all. Brother, don't think we're murderous. When the emperor has the ability to enrich the country and strengthen the army, he will submit to the world and live a good life; If you don't have the ability to defend the country, your head will fall to the ground and your family will suffer. It's the rule, there's nothing soft about it. Having said that, you should have heard of how the Hu people fought against the Han royal family when they entered Chang'an! ”

Rao is so. Guo Xu thought that the kneeling women and children outside would be stabbed in two instants, and he was still full of unbearable:

"With these two volumes, can't you find a person who can stay?"

Liu Yu wanted to scold. Say how did you pay back your mother-in-law. Suddenly, my heart moved, and I thought of someone. He called one of his staff and told him to read the names one by one. When he read about a man, he stopped.

Xiahou Yan.

The surviving of Yao Shao, the martyred general of Great Qin, and the aunt of Emperor Yao Hong.

Xiahou Yan was dressed in plain clothes, and she came in, not kneeling or sitting, with her head held high.

Liu Yu was not reluctant, and carefully looked at this woman who was neither humble nor arrogant:

"General Yao Shao is loyal and brave to the country and is an opponent worthy of our respect. Yao Qin has already died, and the woman doesn't have to be buried with her, so go home. ”

Xiahou Yan's face was expressionless and motionless.

"Madame, do you have anything else to say?"

Xiahou Yan originally held her head high and looked at the top of the tent, but at this time she glanced at Liu Yu coldly:

"Does Taiwei Liu want Xiahou Yan to be cursed by her in-laws' relatives and scolded by the officials and people of the Qin State?"

Liu Yu stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, a little embarrassed:

"Liu Yu is kind, don't misunderstand, madam."

Xiahou Yan sneered:

"Taiwei killed a family, but left me alone, Xiahou Yan was clumsy, and she couldn't see what kind of kindness this was. If you really have good intentions, you might as well let go of these people who have surrendered, and don't rely on cutting off their heads to establish their authority! ”

Guo Xu looked at this beautiful woman with a frosty face, and couldn't help but be in awe. Thinking of Yao Hong's queen Gao's crying and crying along the way, with a handful of snot and tears, I suddenly understood what a real lady looks like.

Liu Yu's original intention was to open the net, but when he was poured with cold water by this, he was not only angry and laughing, but he thought about doing good things to the end, and he couldn't fight with the woman for righteousness:

"Madame can say whatever she wants, but Liu Yu has already decided not to kill Madame, if you don't leave, I can only let my subordinates carry you away."

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, two guards came over, ready to take Xiahou Yan out. Xiahou Yan's beautiful and clear eyes suddenly widened, and she shouted Don't touch me!

There was a commotion outside the door. Guo Xu was about to go out to see, when two white shadows slammed into the big tent, pushed away the two guards, and hugged Xiahou Yan tightly.

It was two boys, about fifteen or sixteen years old. Their faces were sweating profusely, and their eyes were wide with rage:

"Don't touch my mother!"

Only then did Liu Yu realize that Yao Shao's two sons, Yao Hong's cousins, were also on the list. Yao Shao had three sons, the eldest son was killed in battle with Rouran, and now if these two are also killed, it will be equivalent to the end.

Xia Houyan hugged the two children:

"Pheasant, Hua'er, don't be afraid, remember what your mother said, and don't show weakness in front of the field!"

Liu Yu looked at the faces of the two children, thinking of his children who were almost the same age, their fatherhood was budding, and he didn't even feel his voice softened:

"Don't be afraid, child, I'm just telling your mother about your father, he's good."

Then a thought popped up:

"Madam, even if you care about your reputation, you still have to save a little blood for General Yao Shao. In my opinion, you don't want to stay in Guanzhong, just go to Jiangnan, where no one will guide you. When the child grows up, he will do things in the court, and he will be equally successful in the future! ”

Xiahou Yan's gaze was only slightly warm, and then instantly returned to coldness:

"Taiwei, put away your bodhisattva heart, kill it if you want to, and my whole family will never shrink their necks. If I send the flesh and blood of my general's body to Jiangnan, steal my life under the protection of the enemies who destroyed my temple, and serve the Nanban who killed their father, how can I have the face to reunite with him after death? How can the two children still have the face to put on the incense table to worship their ancestors? I'd rather destroy the general's blood than stain it!" Pheasant, birch, you have a word! ”

Pheasant is elder brother, stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Yu:

"I can't kill you alive, and if I die, I will be a ghost to avenge Daqin and my father!"

Hua'er saw that her brother was ruthless enough, but she didn't say a word, and spat on the ground fiercely.

The family held hands and went out without looking back!

Liu Yu looked at the empty tent door, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly:

"It's a pity!"

Then he made a gesture.

The guards went out to give orders.

On the beach of the Wei River outside the camp, the noble relatives of Yao Qin who had surrendered, all the concubines in the palace except for Queen Gao, all the princes except Yao Fonian, who had committed suicide, and all the relatives outside the palace, including Yao Shan, the Duke of Dongping, a total of more than 300 people, were all killed.

Guo Xu deliberately left Xiahou Yan and the two children to the end, wanting them to eat something, but all three of them refused. Dressed in white, they lined up at the end of the line and walked forward slowly, listening to the clatter of knives and axes slashing their necks, the cries of men and women, and the merciless clatter of the Wei River.

Suddenly, Xiahou Yan sang beautifully and melodiously:

My home is Weibinxi, and the water is a mirror.

The face is like a peach blossom, eighteen years old.

Childe dismounted, see me wet.

Gold brocade, matchmakers.

Whispering with Jun Yue, swearing and whispering.

The three grow and guard, and the children are full of children.

Heaven and earth are unkind, take away my husband.

The falling flowers are godless, and they will never be able to do it again.

The loss of home and country, the smoke is everywhere.

The poems and books are scattered, and there is no rest.

The white jade is shattered, and he would rather die than be humiliated.

The general walked slowly, and the concubine accompanied him.

The family is reunited, and there is a lot of laughter.

Born as a noble, died as a god.

Guo Xu listened blankly, tears flowing. One of the results of the war was to kill such a beautiful, intelligent and strong woman, which made him feel a heart-wrenching pain. He watched Xiahou Yan's mother and son gradually approach the river, and when he heard the executioners shouting and kneeling, he couldn't sit back and watch the knife and axe fall, but he was full of tears, turned around and strode away.

Yao Hongwei was eating with wax, not knowing that the execution was already taking place by the Wei River. After eating, he was taken out of the tent and put on two carriages with Empress Gao, and they were to be sent to the Wei River boat and taken by water to Jiangnan. He expected this, and closed his eyes all the way to chant the Buddha. I was just a little surprised, I don't know where all the relatives who were still kneeling in Liu Yuda's camp just now have gone. The car was moving along the banks of the Wei River, when suddenly he heard Gao Shi in the latter car let out an exclamation, and then broke out crying. He lifted the curtain on the carriage and looked out, and after only one look, he passed out on it.

He hasn't said a word since.

More than a month later, he and Gao arrived in Jiankang.

Some high-ranking monks in the Southern Dynasty pleaded with the center of the Jin Dynasty, hoping to spare Yao Hong's life and let him spend the rest of his life in the temple for the sake of Yao Hong's lack of tyranny and worship the Buddha for goodness.

The Jin dynasty refused.

They were publicly executed, and their heads were hung on the pillars of the Suzaku Bridge for public display.

Maybe it was because it was too dry that year, or maybe it was some other indescribable reason, and the grass and trees in a radius of more than ten miles where he was buried died. (To be continued......)
