Chapter 334: Who cleared their name
A group of Luoyang officers and soldiers wearing big red armor ran up to the city, tore off the battle flag of the Xiliang Army on the city wall, and tore it into rags.
When all the battle flags of the Xiliang Army were torn apart and thrown on the ground, the battle flags of the Luoyang Army with gold characters on a black background were immediately erected on the city wall, hunting and flying in the wind, making a burst of "hulala" sound.
The streets were littered with Luoyang officers and soldiers in red armor, many of whom pushed open the doors of roadside houses, searching for civilians who might have survived the scuffle the night before.
The Xiliang army fought each other, and the people suffered greatly. That night, many Xiliang soldiers broke into people's houses, and murders, robberies, and rapes of women abounded.
Luoyang officers and soldiers pushed open the door of the house, often see the tragic situation of the people's whole family being killed, even if the surviving people are found, those who are alive are as numb as a stake, and even some women in the door was pushed open by the Luoyang soldiers, take the initiative to take off their clothes, exposing their breasts and buttocks, intending to sacrifice their young bodies, in exchange for the whole family to survive the disaster.
However, a scene that the people in the city never dared to think of soon happened, and the soldiers of the Luoyang Army entered their homes and did not make any outrageous actions as they imagined.
When some women took off their clothes, the officers and soldiers even stepped forward to help them put on their clothes to cover their shame.
Under the persuasion of the officers and soldiers who entered the houses, the people who were still alive in the city also walked out of their homes with trepidation and walked slowly towards the open space where the prisoners of war of the Xiliang Army were held.
In front of the clearing, a group of Luoyang troops wearing big red armor lined up, blocking the people, separating them from Liu Wei and the captured Xiliang army.
The corpses of ordinary people were carried out of the houses by the officers and soldiers, through the crowd of people in the streets, and carried to the open space in the city.
In the open space, tens of thousands of prisoners of war of the Xiliang Army squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, peeking at the corpses that were carried out one by one, and they didn't know whether they were afraid that the same bad luck would fall on their heads or because they felt guilty for doing bad things, and each of their bodies was trembling incessantly.
The corpses of the people were neatly placed in the open space by the officers and soldiers of Luoyang, except for the prisoners of war who were guarded by the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who had served Liu Wei in advance, not far from the place where the corpses were placed, there were dozens of generals of the Xiliang Army wearing scaly armor who were tied up like zongzi, lined up in a row, kneeling straight.
Liu Wei pressed the hilt of his sword, paced back and forth behind these generals of the Xiliang Army, and waited until the corpses of the two Luoyang Army generals were properly placed, Liu Wei walked around in front of this group of Xiliang Army generals, turned his back to the corpses, raised his hand and pointed back, and asked the generals of the Xiliang Army who knelt in a straight line: "Who can tell this king how these people died?" ”
The corpses of ordinary people placed in the open space are thousands, to say the least. The corpses lay straight across the clearing, and from the scars on their bodies, it can be seen that they were definitely not less tortured while they were alive.
Dozens of generals of the Xiliang Army, including Hu Chi'er and Dong Xian, all bowed their heads and knelt on the ground, not even daring to speak, for fear of saying the wrong thing and angering Liu Wei, so they immediately let them behead in different places.
Standing in front of this group of generals of the Xiliang Army, Liu Wei did not intend to get the answers he wanted from them. Seeing that the generals of the Xiliang Army did not speak, he clenched his fists tightly, and then said to them: "Dong Zhuo is in trouble, the world's heroes and powers are fighting each other, and the Han Dynasty has shed enough blood. This king does not want to see any more bloodshed, but if there is no blood today, who will pay for the death? Who can give them justice? ”
Before Liu Wei spoke, the people in the city had been persuaded by the officers and soldiers of Luoyang to go out of their homes and gather around the open space.
"King!" The scene was silent for a moment, a young woman suddenly knelt on the ground with a "poof", passed between the legs of the two Luoyang soldiers who were blocking in front of her, and knelt in front of the two Luoyang soldiers facing Liu Wei, she pulled the placket with both hands, ripped off her shirt, and cried and shouted to Liu Wei: "They are not people!" They abused the women and killed all their husbands and children......"
Before she could finish speaking, the young woman was already crying, lying on the ground, crying bitterly, and her delicate body that had ripped off her shirt trembled violently.
The moment the young woman ripped open the collar, Liu Wei had already seen that there were still two shocking blood marks left on her not too tall breasts.
But when she knelt down, revealing at a glance that she had been beaten and left patches of black green back, the two blood marks on her breasts were already so inconspicuous.
The woman fell to her knees and wept, and immediately more people knelt down, wailing about the inhuman cruelty they had suffered the night before.
More and more people knelt down, but in an instant, the open space was already full of kneeling people, and even the street behind was kneeling down with a black pressure on a group of civilians with no end in sight, and all the people kneeling on the ground were crying and complaining to Liu about the crimes of the Xiliang army.
Looking at the people who were crying loudly, Liu Wei's brows tightened.
Everyone was talking, and they weren't talking about the same thing, but Liu Wei knew that although the people were telling each other about the misfortunes they had suffered, it was the dozens of Xiliang generals and the Xiliang officers and soldiers under their command who knelt in front of them.
Turning his head to look at the prisoners of the Xiliang Army who had been controlled and were squatting with their heads in their hands. Liu Wei took a deep breath and pressed his hands twice at the people who were crying and complaining to him.
Civilians are not soldiers after all, and they do not have a strong sense of discipline. Liu Weixu pressed his hand twice, although most people gradually stopped crying, but there were still some people who were chattering and crying, wanting to explain the misfortune that had happened to them.
"Silence!" Seeing that the people who were still chattering were crying, they didn't pay any attention to Liu Weixu's action of pressing his palm, and a Luoyang Army officer standing on the side was a little unhappy, and shouted to those people: "If Your Highness wants to avenge you, close your beak!" ”
This sentence is very polite, and it is also a bit insulting to people. But in the current situation, if you want to suppress those chattering civilians, this is the only way to be most effective.
Hearing the officer's scolding, Liu Wei knew that the officer was angry because some people ignored his actions, so he didn't blame the officer, but just glanced at him lightly.
Seeing that Liu Wei glanced at him, the officer knew that what he had just said was a little heavy, so he hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed towards Liu Wei, his expression revealing a little uneasiness.
When the people all shut their mouths and looked at him with their faces up, Liu Biancai knelt on the ground towards the black, and the people who couldn't see the end at a glance raised their hands and said to them: "When this king enters Zheng County, he will not let the murderer escape, folks, get up!" ”
Because he was scolded by the officers before, this time the people did not dare to disobey Liu Bian's intentions, and Liu Bian's voice fell, so they stood up one by one, looked at Liu Bian, and waited for the king of Luoyang to clear their grievances.
"See?" Seeing that the people stood up one after another, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the dozens of Xiliang generals kneeling in front of him, raised his hand and pointed to the people who were stopped behind by a team of soldiers, and asked the Xiliang generals: "You tell this king, who should they find to avenge their revenge?" ”
"If the king is defeated, if the army is defeated today, our lives will be in the hands of the king!" Before Liu Wei's words fell, a member of the General Xiliang raised his head, glared at him and said: "The eldest husband does things, and he does it, so why are you afraid of death?" The generals under the command of this general did kill some people, and the general took it for them and cut off this head, but the bowl was a big scar, and the king only had to do it, if the general frowned, he would not be a Xiliang man! ”
"Good!" Looking at General Xiliang who was speaking, Liu Wei nodded, praised it, hugged his fists and arched his hand at General Xiliang, who was tied with hemp rope tied to his body and kneeling on the ground straight, and said to him: "The general is generous to death, and this king will give you a good time!" ”
"Someone! Serve! After speaking, Liu Wei waved behind him, and immediately a soldier ran behind him with a wine jar in his arms and a wine bowl.
After pouring a bowl of wine with his own hands, Liu Wei handed the wine jar back to the soldier, held the wine bowl in both hands and put it on General Na Xiliang's lips, and said to him: "General, please drink this bowl, and the Huangquan Road is also a good road!" ”
"King Xie!" General Na Xiliang knew that he would die, but he was calm in his heart, first thanked Liu Wei, and then put his lips to the mouth of the bowl, and drank the wine in the bowl with a "Gu Dong Gu Dong".
"Leave a whole corpse for the general!" When General Xiliang finished drinking the wine in the bowl, Liu Wei threw the wine bowl to the side and shouted to the soldiers behind him.
As soon as his shout fell, two soldiers of the Luoyang Army ran up with a white silk horse, and the two wrapped the white silk around General Xiliang's neck, nodded to each other, and each pulled hard to both sides.
Bai Aya strangled his neck, but in an instant, General Na Xiliang's face turned purple-black, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was wide open.
After strangling General Na Xiliang, Liu Wei glanced down at the corpse, waved his hand to the two soldiers who strangled General Xiliang with white silk and said, "Good life and burial, don't harass your family!" ”
Two soldiers answered, and one dragged one of General Xiliang's legs and dragged the body aside.
When General Xiliang was executed, all the onlookers widened their eyes, and it was not until General Xiliang was strangled to death and the body was dragged aside, that the crowd erupted into a burst of applause.
Hearing the applause from the crowd, Liu Wei's mood was unusually heavy. Plundering is something that generals from all walks of life will do, and the Xiliang general who was just executed by him dares to bear the responsibility for his crimes, and he can be regarded as a man.
Killing him, out of his own heart, Liu Wei was indeed a little unbearable. But now, it was the time when he was deterring the Xiliang army from capturing and buying people's hearts, even if he couldn't bear it in his heart, he had to order this person to be killed.
"What else do you have to say?" Looking around at the remaining Xiliang generals, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked them another question.
