Sure enough, I was fooled!

When Jerush realized this, his bowels turned blue.

Soon, more than a dozen Xuanyuan clan warriors quickly entered the account and lined up, and the leader fell on one knee and clasped his fists and replied: "Your Excellency the God of War, all the generals of the barbarian clan have been taken care of, and all the clan soldiers have been controlled, and there has been no mutiny. ”

"Ye Gucheng, you are so ruthless... You... Yelu Bao's face was as pale as earth in an instant, and he pointed at Ye Gucheng and was speechless.

At this point, Ye Gucheng was completely relieved, he didn't even look at Yelu Wrap, and with a wave of his big hand, the soldiers quickly detained all the barbarians in the field and removed them from the tent.

Faced with the change, a general of the Zhang family hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency the God of War, what's going on?"

The overall situation has been decided, and there is no need for Ye Gucheng to continue to sell Guanzi and tell the truth.

It turned out that when Ye Gucheng learned that the barbarians were plotting to rebel, he began to pay attention to the secret deployment and observation, and found that the barbarians released carrier pigeons, and checked the contents of the letter after shooting them in time, but it was difficult at that time, and it was difficult to convict the real people behind the scenes.

In order to lure the snake out of the hole and annihilate it in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles, he quietly grabbed the original carrier pigeon from the carrier pigeon training ground and released it, and at the same time deliberately pretended to give a reply from the Black Mountain Clan, of course, the connection with Yeluqi is naturally the ambush Xuanyuan Wuji, in this way, the human and material evidence is complete, and he is not afraid of Yeluqi getting away with it, after all, he can order Yeluqi to act, and only Yeluqi, who is the elder of the clan!

Of course, in order to prevent the dog from jumping over the wall and mutiny, he sent the Xuanyuan warriors to control all the generals living outside as soon as he entered the account, and the generals of the barbarian tribe who left the tent and wanted to transfer troops were no exception. In particular, most of the barbarian soldiers did not receive orders in advance and worked, and they were easily controlled by the Xuanyuan tribe and the subordinate tribesmen, and from beginning to end, he did not use a single soldier of the Zhang family of the barbarian tribe.

After listening to the whole process, Zhang Tao smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty the God of War, you are too much of an outsider! Such a big matter, you should tell me in advance, no matter how ignorant Zhang Tao is, he will not shield the traitors and destroy the great plan of coexistence between our two clans!"

"I'm sorry! Because the stakes are very high, I'm afraid of leaking the news, so I can only hide it from Head Zhang, I hope you can understand. "Ye Gucheng should apologize for being reasonable.

"I don't know, who did the God of War know about such a secret thing?"

Zhang Tao is not the only one who is curious, in fact, everyone here is very curious, but most of them choose to remain silent.

"Speaking of which, I'm also quite strange, according to the Xuanyuan warrior, it seems that an old man from the affiliated tribe unintentionally mentioned it, although I want to check afterwards, this leaker died unexpectedly while working the next day. "Ye Gucheng is telling the truth.

If it weren't for the sudden death of the leaker the next day, Ye Gucheng would not have paid too much attention to it, at least, at first glance, he was dissatisfied with the behavior of the barbarians and deliberately spread rumors, but when the leaker died, the nature would have become completely different!

At dusk, when the last rays of the sunset disappeared on the horizon, Xuanyuan Wuji led hundreds of Xuanyuan iron horsemen to escort Yeluqi back.

Yeluqi had long lost his previous publicity, his hair was scattered, his hands were tied behind his back, and the hundred horsemen he brought with him were also killed and wounded.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the barbarian tribe who were imprisoned on the side looked blank, knowing that the general trend had gone.

All the perpetrators are in place, and the interrogation and evidence collection will begin, of course, this is only a superficial process, and the result is already predestined.

A few days later, there was no wind and it was cloudy.

Ye Gucheng stood quietly on the execution platform, with the main members of the Zhang family on the left and the Xuanyuan clan on the right.

Because of the large number of people sentenced this time, he chose to use local materials, and temporarily nailed rows of wooden stakes in the open space, each of which was tied to a person, facing the torture platform, and a Xuanyuan warrior holding a chopping knife stood neatly next to the wooden stakes.

A general clenched his fist on one knee and replied: "There are a total of thirty-five main criminals of the barbarian clan, all of them are in place. ”

Ye Gucheng heard the report and felt sorry in his heart. According to his original intention, he only wanted to hold the mastermind and participants accountable, in fact, more than half of the more than 30 generals did not know about the rebellion of the clansmen, however, Zhang Tao and Xuanyuan Zhuoyu had different ideas, both glory and loss, a clan committed crimes, how can they be innocent, staying will be a disaster, advocating killing them is related to the safety of more than 100,000 lives, and he is not easy to insist.

Perhaps it was the first time to see such a large formation, the people of the two tribes and the affiliated tribes, from the elderly to the children, all looked forward to watching, because of the limited space, many people were crowded and could not get the best position, so they chose to stand on a high place and watch.

On the left side of the open field, a huge wooden circular fence was temporarily erected, the fence was about 1.5 meters high, and the barbarian tribes, men and women, old and young, were all guarded here, and the fence was surrounded by swordsmen, armor and archers, looking at the form, it was not optimistic! Some children may have been affected by the atmosphere and cried one after another, while the adults were calm.

According to the regulations issued by Ye Gucheng, the reader began to read out a series of crimes of the barbarians.

Treason is a capital offense, it's an iron law!

Surprisingly, all the spectators were silent, not knowing whether it was because of excessive shock or because they saw the horrific scene of the punishment for the first time.

Ye Gucheng took a deep breath and raised his voice: "Yelu Bao, do you still have something to say?"

"Ye Gucheng, I hate to act rashly at the beginning, my clan suffered this catastrophe of extermination, all thanks to you, I will not let you go as a ghost. And you, Zhang Tao, your Zhang family is treacherous, and you will definitely not die well in the future. "Yelu Bao really hated, when the alliance was in place, he didn't stick to the bottom line, so that the whole clan was destroyed.

Zhang Tao's expression was cold, the killing intent in his eyes increased greatly, and with a wave of his big hand, he shouted: "Slash!"

Thirty-five slashers, like the scythe of death, slashed through the air in an arc, and blood splattered everywhere.

Ye Gucheng looked at the bloody and tragic execution ground, his face suddenly became a little pale, although he had experienced several wars and had killed a person with his own hands, he still couldn't adapt to such a scene! Especially knowing that most of these dead people did not die for their crimes, his conscience was uneasy!

Zhang Hao did not forget his duty, after witnessing the barbarian general's subjugation, his eyes turned, stared coldly at the more than 10,000 Tubarian people in the fence, raised his hand and shouted: "Archer, prepare." ”

Tens of thousands of archers took two steps forward, bent their bodies, and pulled their bows to full strings.

Although the barbarians knew their fate well, they still couldn't stop shrinking back in fear, but the space was too small and seamless to squeeze, and many children were squeezed and cried loudly.

In the land of the Northern Barbarians, the extermination of the tribe is a common thing, and in this regard, the people and horses of all ethnic groups who were present to watch the punishment have long been numb.

On the contrary, Ye Gucheng's expression changed suddenly, and he roared: "Stop!"

Zhang Hao was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but glance at the leader.

Zhang Tao was also surprised, and didn't seem to know why Ye Gucheng stopped the execution, and immediately, he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency the God of War, you must cut the grass to the roots." ”

"They are people, living people, not grass, don't you see, there are children in them?"

After all, Ye Gucheng grew up in a civilized and legal society, although in this era, killing people is inevitable! But he is not a cold-blooded animal, he will never be able to do the heinous massacre of people at will, he has experienced the extermination of the Que Yue clan, and he also realizes the cruelty contained in the word 'extermination'.

Zhang Tao frowned slightly, took two steps forward, stared deeply at Ye Gucheng and reminded: "They are all barbarians, alive, they will always be a threat. ”

"Commander Zhang, what is our original intention? It is to coexist peacefully, not to kill innocent people; if our so-called peace is based on this kind of bloody killing that does not distinguish between right and wrong, I, Ye Gucheng, would rather not. Ye Gucheng held back the surging anger in his heart, turned his gaze, stared at Zhang Hao tightly and said, "Commander Zhang Hao, I order you to let the archers retreat immediately." ”

Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Tao, who was blue with an iron face, hesitated slightly, and had no choice but to obey Ye Gucheng's order, and waved his hand: "Archer, withdraw!"

For a time, the archers returned to their original positions.

The sudden change caused an uproar in the crowd, as if they had never imagined that the crime of treason would be forgiven. The barbarian people, in particular, opened their eyes in disbelief, and their eyes were full of ecstasy for the rest of their lives.

"Your Majesty the God of War, this is a wrong decision, the sin of treason is equivalent to betraying the gods, it cannot be forgiven, and it cannot be tolerated. This time, Xuanyuan Zhuo chose to unite with Zhang Tao, and the betrayal of the Tuoba clan was his heart disease, and he would never be able to forgive this behavior.

If he is an ordinary person, in the face of pressure from both clans at the same time, and he is isolated, he will definitely compromise, after all, no matter what he wants to do, the premise is to save his life! Moreover, most generals do not recognize the kindness of a woman like him.

Ye Gucheng is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart! He does not know that the current situation is extremely unfavorable to him, perhaps, in a few decades, he will make a wiser choice, but not now! Now he is very young, eighteen years old, strong in blood, some things, some principles, some persistence, more important than life!

"Patriarch Xuanyuan, maybe you're right, but I don't regret it!" Ye Gucheng didn't look at Xuanyuan Zhuo, as if he didn't pay attention to Zhang Tao's expression.

Looking around at the crowd of people in the audience, passing by faces with different expressions, and finally, he stopped at a young child of the barbarian tribe, which was a pair of eyes that were not deeply involved in the world and full of innocence, in these eyes, he saw courage!

The audience instantly became silent again.

"In order to live, to live better, to live in peace and stability! But what kind of peace and stability? to kill and kill, to fight violence with violence, and to kill all that may threaten one's own safety, is peace and stability?" Ye Gucheng didn't mind asking and answering himself, at this moment, he just wanted to release all the depression in his heart. His expression was solemn, and he said in a loud voice: "It's not like this! Life, it shouldn't be like this! This is not life, this is killing, this is burying humanity and burying conscience, we are human beings, not beasts, you tell me, these children, do they know what a traitor is? Have they participated in it? Some of them, they can't even walk, can such children threaten you?"

As if it was said to their hearts, the barbarians wept silently.

Zhang Tao and Xuanyuan's faces became more and more ugly.
