Chapter 811: The sin is not as good as the family
The rising morning sun shone on the streets of Shouchun City, and the soldiers of the Qin army hung snow-white linen cloth on the doors of the houses on both sides of the street.
All the streets were hung with strips of linen, and the white linen swayed slightly in the breeze, and the whole Shouchun City was decorated with linen, revealing a heavy gloom.
Every soldier of the Qin army and the new Huainan army were wrapped with white linen cloth on their helmets, and the whole city was wearing linen and filial piety, for Yang Feng, who died here, and for all the Qin soldiers who died on the Huainan battlefield.
Dressed in golden armor, Liu Wei rode a tall horse with a snow-white linen tied to his forehead.
When he wanted to tie up the sackcloth, Chen Gong and others tried their best to dissuade him, saying that Yang Feng could not stand him and wear filial piety in person.
But Liu Wei didn't pay attention to those complicated details at all, and still insisted on personally serving Yang Feng and Dai Xiao, and using Yuan Shu's head to pay tribute to the heroic soul.
Riding a war horse, leading Chen Gong, Lu Bu and others, slowly walking towards the entrance of the market in the city, Liu Wei's face was full of slaughter, and those who saw him from a distance could feel a strong killing intent.
Following behind Liu Bian, Chen Gong and the others would glance at the white linen on Liu Bian's forehead from time to time.
In their opinion, Liu Wei personally served Yang Feng as filial piety, and as a general, Yang Feng categorically could not stand such a high treatment.
By doing this, Liu Wei can tell the world that he regards all the generals and staff under his command as relatives, and there is no dignity and humility in his eyes, but only brotherhood.
For Yang Feng to wear filial piety, it is possible to raise Liu Wei's status in front of the heroes of the world to a higher level, but it is a little unruly to do so.
Chen Gong also dissuaded Liu Wei, but Liu Wei insisted on doing so, and he had no choice but to let Liu Wei do so.
Liu Wei led everyone towards the entrance of the market, and on the other road, Zhao Yunzheng led the tiger guards to escort the prisoner car holding Yuan Shu, and was also heading towards the entrance of the market.
On the street on the side of the road, there were people standing in Shouchun City, and when they saw Yuan Shu's prisoner car coming, the people stretched their necks one by one and looked at Yuan Shu in the prisoner car.
Shouchun used to be under the rule of Yuan Shu, and Shouchun under the governance of Yuan Shu, although it was not very rich, the life of the people in the city was still good.
It is precisely because of this that when Yuan Shu's prisoner car passed by the street, the eyes of many people showed a trace of compassion.
In addition to the people in the city, there were also some Huainan troops on duty, and when they saw Yuan Shu's prisoner car coming, they all bowed their heads one by one.
Leaving the Huainan army officers and soldiers unwilling, there were many Qin troops standing, and seeing that the Huainan army lowered their heads, the Qin army did not step forward to stop them.
The Qin army had already received an order that as long as no one hijacked the prisoner car, neither the Huainan army nor the people in the city would stop any act of mourning.
People sometimes need to vent, as long as they vent their emotions in their hearts and cut off Yuan Shu's head, it won't be long before things will be gradually forgotten.
To stop the Huainan army and the people in the city from mourning Yuan Shu, it is better to simply let them do it, as long as it is not very out of line, Liu Wei will not go to compare with them.
In addition to the team escorting Yuan Shu, another team slowly drove from Shouchun's prison to the entrance of the market.
There were a large number of people in this team, men, women and children, and many of them were escorted by the Qin army towards the entrance of the market, and they were still crying sadly along the way.
The crying people were escorted by the Qin army and walked slowly towards the entrance of the market, and the bursts of sorrow covered the entire team with a thick layer of desolation.
The first to arrive at the entrance of the market happened to be the team escorted by the Qin army.
When they arrived at the entrance of the market, the soldiers of the Qin army pressed the men and women who were bound up, pressed them to the ground and knelt on them.
The nobles who enjoyed all the glory in Shouchun City in the past have now become prisoners who are about to be beheaded.
The onlookers and the soldiers of the Huainan Army saw it, and many of them couldn't bear to turn their faces to the side.
The soldiers of the Qin army pressed all the people to the ground and knelt, and the men who knelt on the ground, although their faces were full of grief before death, did not cry, but those women and children were already crying in human form.
"Your Highness has arrived!" The woman and the children, who were pressed to the ground and kneeling, were crying loudly, and a Qin Jun's shout reached the ears of everyone in the market.
Following the shouts of the Qin army, everyone looked in the direction where Liu Wei came from, and what appeared in their sight was Liu Wei wearing gold armor and riding a tall horse.
led Chen Gong and the others to the entrance of the market on horseback, Liu Wei turned over and jumped off the horse, and strode to the execution platform.
Liu Wei's appearance immediately stopped the frightened women and children from crying.
Everyone's eyes were all focused on Liu Bian's body, and the onlookers were waiting for Liu Bian to announce how to deal with Yuan Shu and others, and the people kneeling on the ground, when they looked at Liu Bian, their eyes were full of fear, and a sense of imminent death arose in their hearts.
Pressing the hilt of his sword and looking around at the men and women kneeling at the entrance of the market, Liu Wei asked the officers of the Qin army who escorted these people to the entrance of the market, "How did you capture so many people?" How can you even have children? ”
"Your Highness Qiqi, they are all important criminals who rebel against Yuan Shu!" Clenching his fists and bowing, the Qin army officer who was asked answered.
"Going to offend?" Liu Wei smiled slightly, as if talking to himself: "It's just some family members!" ”
These people, who were escorted to the entrance of the market by Qin Jun and were just waiting to cut off their heads, all looked at him with shocked faces when they heard Liu Wei's words.
"Your Highness!" Before Liu Wei's words fell, Chen Gong stepped forward, clasped his fists and said to him: "Yuan Shu is a traitor, rebels against the imperial court, blocks His Highness's army, and kills General Yang Feng on the same day, the crime should be destroyed!" ”
"Extinguish what?" Turning his head to look at Chen Gong, Liu Wei said to him: "The main culprit is cut off, and everyone else is reduced to commoners!" ”
"Investigate clearly!" After saying a word from Chen Gong, Liu Wei said to the Qin army officers present: "Yuan Shu and his adult heirs were all killed, and the rest were reduced to commoners. Officials in the city, investigate, if there was a person who cheated for personal gain, he would be killed! Those who are honest and honest will continue to be appointed. As for the family members, they are all innocent! ”
The whole city was dressed in vegetarian clothes, and when they were escorted to the entrance of the market, all the people captured by the Qin army thought that they would definitely die, but they didn't expect that Liu Wei had just come here, and he would dissolve their charges lightly, and they were stunned for a moment one by one, and then they all fell to the ground and shouted to Liu Wei: "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing!" ”
"Today, this king only kills Yuan Shu and the first offender of the rebellion, except for the former officials who were put in prison for re-investigation, the others are released!" With his hand on the hilt of his sword, looking at the people who were bound up and kneeling on the ground, Liu Wei waved his hand to the soldiers of the Qin army.
Receiving Liu Wei's order, the soldiers stepped forward and first untied all the ropes of the women and children, leaving only the men who were kneeling on the ground.
One by one, the men lowered their heads, and saw that the women and children in the family were loosely bound, and they also sighed in their hearts.
When they arrived at the venue, all the men knelt down, and the soldiers checked one by one, and those who had not been officials were also loosened, and only a small number of those who had been officials under Yuan Shu's tent were still kneeling on the ground.
"Take it back!" Letting most of them go, a Qin officer waved his hand at the soldiers and gave them a command.
Immediately, a group of Qin soldiers stepped forward, picked up the Huainan officials who were still tied up, and escorted them back to the prison, kneeling on the ground, only the main staff members who had played a key role under Yuan Shu's tent remained.
When I came to the entrance of the market, I saw a large group of people kneeling on the ground by the Qin army, and the people and soldiers of the Huainan Army who thought that there would be a river of blood, and when they saw this scene, they were all stunned.
The Qin army attacked Shouchun in order to defeat Yuan Shu and avenge Yang Feng.
According to everyone's thoughts, Liu Wei categorically wanted to kill in order to feel a little relieved.
But Liu Wei's actions were beyond everyone's expectations, this King of Qin had no intention of killing all the captured people at all, but just arrived at the entrance of the market, and released most of them.
"This king has already released you and other family members, what else do you have to say?" When the ordinary officials were escorted away by the Qin army, Liu Wei looked at the more than ten high-ranking officials of Huainan who were kneeling at the entrance of the market and asked them.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing your family, I'll die for love!" The one who answered Liu Wei was Yang Hong, the long history of Yuan Shu, who was tightly bound, kneeling on the ground, looking up at Liu Wei, although there was a little sadness in his words, but there was really a bit of gratitude.
"If the heroes fight each other, you and others are the staff, you can kill or not!" Looking at Yang Hong, Liu Wei shook his head with some regret and said: "But Yuan Shu is the emperor, not only did you not stop it at all, but you rebelled, such a big rebellion is the sin of being beheaded." This king only kills you and one other person, which can be regarded as thinking that God has the virtue of a good life! ”
Liu argued, what he said was reasonable, the high-ranking officials in Huainan who knelt on the ground, although there were still a few people who wanted to beg for mercy, but they didn't know what words to use to persuade him.
"Your Highness, Yuan Shu's heir has arrived!" Looking at Yang Hong and the others, Liu Weizheng's face was compassionate, and a guard ran to him, hugged his fists and bowed down to report.
Knowing that Yuan Shu's heir had arrived, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Lu Bu and asked him in a low voice: "Fengxian, you and Yuan Shu were married earlier, and this king killed your son-in-law today......"
"Your Highness, just kill!" Liu was only halfway through his speech, and Lu Bu hugged his fists and said to him: "Although the last general is married to Yuan Shu, the little girl has never left the cabinet, His Royal Highness killed Yuan Shu's son, and the last general will allow the little girl to others in the future!" ”
Nodding at Lu Bu, Liu Wei didn't dwell on this matter any more, and said to the soldiers who reported the news: "Yuan Shu's heir, kill those over fifteen years old!" Those under the age of fifteen will be demoted to commoners and will never be hired as officials! ”
"No!" The soldier clenched his fists in response, and quickly ran to the team holding Yuan Shu's heirs, and conveyed Liu Wei's order.
