Chapter 201: Pleasing the People (Chapter 1)

"Down?" was faster than Yun Wei expected.

"It was knocked down an hour ago. Lu Ming said with a smile, "The river god has been defeated, the moat has changed its path, and the people in the city are scattered." ”

The Wei army pressed the border, and the river god admired by the people fled from the wind, and yesterday Yunjie also stirred the power of heaven and earth, and the soldiers and civilians of Jiyuan City thought that they could hold on.

"What about casualties?"

"It's still counting. Lu Ming raised the corners of her mouth, "It's much lighter than before the arrival of the national teacher, whether it's for us or for Jiyuan City." ”

The sooner the fighting ends, the less damage the process will do to the military and civilians. Compared with the siege warfare, which often takes days or even months, taking Jiyuan City overnight can be regarded as a lightning speed.

The Wei army won a great victory, and they stayed in Jiyuan City for a day to rest and recuperate. After all, after a night of fierce fighting, the soldiers were exhausted, and there was still a lot of work to be done.

Jiyuan City is medium-sized, but due to its geographical location, the population is quite dense. Feng Miaojun didn't know how prosperous it was, because when she walked on the streets of Jiyuan City, she saw broken ruins, broken and bloodstained city walls, and depressed and controlled streets.

The guards of the Wei State patrolled back and forth, and there were no idle people on the road. In stark contrast to the Wei army, which entered the city in triumph, the doors of every house were closed, and only suspicious or hateful glances were cast from the windows.

The Wei army rushed the people from their hiding places to gather at various designated places, and read out the edict of the king of Wei, to the effect that it was to appease the people of Jiyuancheng, reiterate that they would not disturb the people or rob the people, and vigorously preach that "those who follow Wei will prosper, and those who oppose Wei will die", and implement a joint sitting system for those who secretly raise rebellion.

The conquest of the Wei State will continue, and naturally he does not want to see the city that has just been defeated planted with the flag of the State of Wei in a blink of an eye. In the next war, Jiyuan City will be an important hub and transfer station.

Jiyuan has turned into a city under high-pressure control, Feng Miaojun only felt that every breath smelled the smell of fire and blood, and he was very uncomfortable, so he simply turned around and walked outside the city. However, when she passed the entrance of the vegetable market, she heard a commotion from far and near.

The place was empty and was requisitioned as a makeshift assembly point, and by this time a large number of people had gathered. Everyone looked sideways, and Feng Miaojun was no exception, only to see a group of Wei soldiers dragging several people over, and the captives were all locked in shackles, including men and women, old and young, all dressed as civilians, all of them were as earth-colored.

A high platform has been erected at the mouth of the vegetable market, a beam has been suspended, and a noose has been erected - this is a gallow!

At the sight of this thing, several of the captives fainted on the spot, and the rest were either crying or scolding in fright. Feng Miaojun understands that the way of the king is to give both grace and might, with the act of pardoning the people in the front, and the killing of chickens and monkeys in the back, so as to deter people's hearts. These poor worms who are about to be executed are just the power that the king of Wei has set up for everyone.

The strange thing is that seeing these captives being dragged into the execution ground, the people present looked indifferent, and occasionally showed compassion, at most, the mothers covered their children's eyes and prevented them from looking directly at the cruel scene, but they did not have the forbearance, anger and dare not speak that Feng Miaojun had seen before.

At this time, the cavalry captain of the Wei army walked up to the high platform and said in a loud voice: "Cao Bing'an, who is too guarded by the city, is corrupt and derelict in his duties, connived at the Cao and Liu families in the fish and meat villages, runs rampant and domineering, and creates many unjust, false and wrongful cases, and the crime is extremely heinous! Now Cao Bing'an has been punished, but before the war, he smuggled his family out of the city to escape through the secret road, and was intercepted by our army from outside the city. ”

Then, he listed the seven crimes of the Cao family and the Liu family one by one.

"My king's trial, Cao Liu ignored hundreds of thousands of people in this city, and his crime should be punished! Immediately executed, thinking that the people were hearing the truth, judging right and wrong, and declaring Qingming!"

After that, he pointed to the wooden pole at the entrance of the vegetable market, and Feng Miaojun found that there was a person's head hanging there, swaying in the wind.

That person is about fifty years old, with a beard under his chin and white temples, thinking that Ji Yuan is too protective of Cao Bing'an as the cavalry captain said.

When the city was broken, Cao Bing'an saw that the general trend had gone, and drew his sword to kill himself. Feng Miaojun originally thought that he had made such a martyrdom in the city, and he also had a good reputation for loyalty and righteousness, but how did he know that the reputation in the city was so bad?

She didn't do much homework about Jiyuan City, but looking at the expressions of the people, she knew that the Cao family was unpopular. As for the Liu family, probably his family's in-laws? Even if the charges mentioned by the cavalry lieutenant were exaggerated, they could be regarded as true. In fact, Cao Bing'an arranged for his family to escape from the secret passage before he was martyred, which is human nature. But when the people know about it, they will be angry, and that is also human nature:

There is a way to escape, and you are only left with your own family!

As for the problem that the leakage of the news of the secret passage will lead to the disintegration of people's hearts and the inability to resist, how can ordinary people pay attention to it?

Seeing this, she also secretly called King Wei that he was able to buy people's hearts in the name of civilian harm. What is the more important factor that unites people than to share common hatred?

Behind Jiyuan City is a large area of hills, connecting several mountain cities, this position can be defended and attacked, and the Wei army must be firmly grasped in order to build a logistics transportation and supply line. Its strategic significance is the reason why the King of Wei was willing to put down his body to please the people.

After the execution was announced, the guards took all the prisoners to the high platform, and did not spare even those who collapsed to the ground and were delirious, and put them on a noose.

Feng Miaojun turned around and left, not wanting to look at it again.

As she passed backstage, a gust of wind blew, blowing the conversation between the lieutenant and his subordinates into her ears: "That little ghost hasn't been caught yet?"

"Nope. ”

"Keep looking, and don't let go of the horns. The Cao family wants no one left, and all of them will be hanged, this is the king's order. ”

When Feng Miaojun heard this, he understood that the Cao family still had children and grandchildren who were on the run and had not been captured. The lieutenant saw her, too, and was about to ask, when his eyes fell and caught a glimpse of the token hanging from her waist, and he immediately stopped his words, and smiled at her kindly.

It was her waist card, the pattern was simple, and only a fiery red auspicious cloud could ensure her unhindered passage in the army. Just because it was a token given by Yun Kui, it represented the most transcendent status of the Wei State.

Feng Miaojun also smiled back and left quickly.

Walking to the west of the city, sure enough, along the way, I saw Wei soldiers rummaging through boxes and cabinets from door to door, thinking that they were hurrying to search for people.

Walking out of Baizhang again, she saw the Taishou Mansion. From tomorrow, there will be a change of owner.

She didn't stop walking and continued to walk forward, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a boy jumping out of the alley opposite the Taishou Mansion.

He was very short, about five or six years old, and he was still holding a tightly covered bamboo basket in his hand, his expression was frightened, and he was full of surprise when he bumped into Feng Miaojun, obviously he didn't expect someone to stand here.

He froze for a moment, then suddenly turned and ran into another alley.

After only a few breaths, several Wei soldiers patrolled in the alley, and after seeing Feng Miaojun's waist card, they asked her politely: "Adults can see a child walking by, about five years old?"
