Chapter 231: A Boatload of Prisoners

Yingshui feast, 10,000 glasses of wine, almost empty.

Whether happy or horrible, tangled or knotted. Everyone here is in the sky and night, and they toast a glass of wine that belongs to the souls of the ten thousand dead twelve years ago. Under the high stage, Xia Yuan led Jin Buchang back to his original position. On the high platform, the spilled wine stains gradually dried with the evening breeze, leaving only a viscous slurry, and a faint aroma of wine.

After the wine is toasted, they sit down one after another, and the dryness has calmed down a little. King Yueyang on the high platform gently lowered his hands behind his waist to his legs. looked at Xia Yuan in the audience with deep meaning, and smiled slightly: "Thinking back then, Kyoto was goodbye, you and I haven't seen each other for 20 years. I never thought that now goodbye, your name as the elephant king of Kyushu is better than before. This king is really ashamed of himself, ashamed of himself. ”

"Don't go around, okay?"

spoke on the high platform, although it was vain, but also slightly admired. Under the high stage, Xia Yuan was contemptuous. The dog's tail grass in his mouth shook in the wind, and the two eyeballs of Yiyi spirit narrowed down for three points, Xia Yuan said disdainfully: "Grandpa's time is very precious, don't talk about these empty meanings." I've already put it down, are you a donkey or a horse, the paws that should be bright will be quickly shown for grandpa to see, and when grandpa is finished, I have to go home to sleep, and I don't have time to talk to you!"

"Ahem..."

words, very arrogant.

The taste of irony was like a thick phlegm spit under the nose of King Yueyang. Maybe it was too arrogant, after Xia Yuan finished speaking, King Yueyang on the high platform did not answer immediately, but looked at Xia Yuan with a cough.

Look at each other, look at each other.

Quietly...

There is no word, only the spring breeze blows in the ears, and the slightest coldness is raised.

The confrontation between the two tigers made everyone in the field feel a different kind of coldness. Like the two swordsmen standing on the top of the majestic mountain, the swords have not moved, and the eyes of the two have a cold light. Thousands of words are hidden in the cold light, measuring each other, just as Xia Yuan said, the opening three glasses of toast have passed, and it is time to take out the donkey or the horse. Xia Yuan had already shown a secret hand that had been hidden for many years by the village chief, setting off a stormy wave, which was the first chip he bet on. And then, it will be the turn of the prince on the high platform, showing his hole cards and entering the main topic of tonight.

"Hehe..."

Up and down the high platform, the two looked at each other speechlessly for a long time.

The majestic face suddenly lifted a corner, and King Yueyang first withdrew his gaze, and turned to look at the two largest warships on the south side of the river, and he only glanced at it...

"Wow..."

"Bang Bang..."

Battle flag hunting, white stripes in the waves.

As his eyes met, the flag soldiers on the towers of the two warships tacitly issued several flag orders. The order went out of formation, and then the two warships moved. Thousands of canes fought hard to hit the water, three sails were raised against the wind, and two rolling white waves cut through the long river. The two huge warships stepped like two behemoth beasts in the waves, and lined up along the gap between the banquet halls, treading water and sailing in.

"Swing the sword to break the clouds, and the heroes will return to the south. Only wait for the harsh winter of the coming year, and a hundred flowers will be killed after the cold plum blossoms. There are still days in the harsh winter, and tonight the Lantern Festival, we will toast the ancestors, and the etiquette has been given. But don't forget, in addition to being the Lantern Festival, tonight is also the death anniversary of the thousands of unjust souls of the Tang Dynasty! If you just use wine as a gift, it is really disrespectful to those hundreds of millions of souls who have died unjustly!" The words were like a phoenix roaring, and the warship broke the waves, and King Yueyang's expression was solemn, and he slowed down his words and then continued in a calm manner: "Therefore, this king has begun to prepare a thin gift a few days ago, taking advantage of tonight's auspicious day to pay homage to the heavens with the heroes of the world, and I hope that you will not waste the king's hard work." ”

“......”

King Yueyang's words were already clear.

Wielding a sword and floating clouds, the heroes return to the south, and in the harsh winter of the coming year, a hundred flowers will be killed. Things have developed to this stage, and the two protagonists at the Lantern Festival banquet tonight, what kind of medicine are sold in the gourd, many people may have guessed some clues.

King An set up a banquet and invited the heroes of the Southern Regions to gather together, which was secretly pointing at Chang'an Jinluan. Xia Yuan went south, and the king was punished by heaven to destroy the half-paper covenant, which was the northern expedition of hiding the sword out of the sheath. Between the two, they both have a common purpose, that is, the dragon chair on the Jinluan Palace. If you seek the same, you can go the same way, which is reasonable. Therefore, the things they want tonight will inevitably not be too far apart, and they are all related to building momentum.

The only difference between the two is that the former is hidden, and the latter is open. Previously, Xia Yuan used three glasses of toast as a guide to draw out a terrifying hidden knife that the great strategist in the north had been lying in for decades, and he was afraid of the thousands of people in the rivers and lakes. It won't be long before the news here spreads all over the Tang Dynasty, and the 80 million li imperial land will inevitably tremble for a long time. And now, it is the turn of King Yueyang to fall into the son. In the face of this earth-shattering foreshadowing, if he wanted to put his position back to the same height as Xia Yuan, he would at least have to show a knife that could also shock the world in order to cause a draw.

Otherwise, even if the Tao is the same, it can only be one before the other, not the same as each other.

"Bang Bang..."

The boat crashes against the waves, and the waves crash against the shore.

Honeysuckle on the shore, flowers lala.

Miles of water were panting, and miles of people were trembling. As the two huge warships sailed into the banquet, the people in the rivers and lakes who were implicitly apprehensive couldn't help but clench their hands, and someone had already gathered up their anger in the faint way.

On the Canshui River, the warship is a repeater warship.

The hull is hundreds of zhang long and more than 100 zhang wide. There are eight arrow towers, which are divided into the front and rear ends of the warship. More than a dozen sails danced in the wind, and nearly 10,000 chain mail sergeants stood on the edge of the ship with swords and bows. From the word "An" engraved on the breastplates of these sergeants, it can be seen that these people are the personal guards of the prince on the high platform. In the middle of both ships, there is a cabin that occupies nearly half of the hull. The outside of the cabin is covered by a large red curtain, so outsiders cannot see what is going on inside. However, the faint breath has made many people guess what it is...

"Bang dang..."

The waves were white, and the sound rang out.

Two warships sailed into the center of the feast almost at the same time. As the flags on the top of the ship changed, the thousands of canes under the ship came to a halt. A heavy anchor was dropped on the board, and the hull came to a halt. Hunting in the long wind, the officers and soldiers slowly put away the sails, only the red cloth covering the cabin was flying in the wind, just like the red cloth covering the high platform before the banquet began. These two red cloths are also red and bloody, so red that people panic...

After the two warships were berthed, King Yueyang on the high platform said lightly again: "Open." ”

“......”

"Knock knock!!"

At the sound of the order, hundreds of "tiger-skin war drums" on both sides of the strait, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly beat in unison! For a moment, the drums were beating like the sound of ten thousand beasts in unison, and the surging river trembled with shock. As one of the two warships sailed into the room, with the sound of drums, the flag on the top of the ship was raised upward, and a flag was raised! With a "bang," hundreds of sergeants who had been preparing to be in the four corners of the cabin at the same time grabbed the corner of the red cloth and vigorously pulled it around! The red cloth covering the cabin was instantly torn from the roof of the cabin and rolled up on all sides. And the "cabin" that was covered also revealed his true face...

"Shhhhh

The cool air gasps in the middle of the field.

But the cabin under the red cloth is not a cabin in the real sense. It was an iron cage of length and width, welded by dozens of thick iron pillars! Each iron cage contained a person who had been tied up by a large number of flowers, and when he looked at it from afar, there were thousands of iron cages, thousands of prisoners, or fear, or anger, or numbness, and the way they were restrained was also different, some were tied hand and foot, some were gagged with rags, and some were even hung in the cage by two huge iron cables through the shoulder blades on both sides. The only thing they have in common is that they are all dying, and I am afraid they will not live long.

The gasping cold air was just panic, and the appearance of thousands of prisoners did not bring much surprise to the audience. After all, before this, the prince on the high platform had threatened to do so. It's just that no one knows how far he will go in this matter, and at this time, Master Hu, who quietly retreated, walked back to the high platform again. Holding a bright yellow roll in his hand, he spread out the roll with both hands, and he shouted loudly!

"Jiangzhen Governor Luo Ya, embezzled military salaries and tampered with military aircraft. Qi Yang Taishou Shi Wancheng dereliction of duty and careless of human life. Admiral Shi Kaifu abused his power and disrupted military discipline. Shake the mountain too shou, Ankang Yue conspires to be rebellious and evil, "The content ......of Master Hu's recitation does not have too much novelty, but it is just a simple remark of the official list that was newly posted a few days ago. Anyone can see that this is just the prince on the high platform, walking a high-sounding scene.

"The city lord of Blackwater City, Alikamu, robbed the people's daughters, tyrannized and disturbed the people..."

It took a long time for Master Hu to repeat the contents of the scroll. With that, he quietly stepped aside again. On the high platform, King Yue Yang straightened the cuffs of his hands and looked at the warship that had uncovered the red cloth. He shouted again in a calm voice: "If one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven." How can chickens, dogs, animals, and those who have no virtue or talent benefit one side? Can any of you recognize the thousands of prisoners on this ship?"

“......”

When the words were asked, the voice was quiet, and no one answered.

It's a knowingly question, and it's okay not to answer. Even the arrogant Xia Yuan didn't answer, but there seemed to be a shallow ruthlessness in the playfulness on his face, and there was no more action. After waiting for a while, seeing that no one answered, King Yueyang continued to shout: "Do you recognize or dare not recognize? The people of the Southern Regions have been poor for twenty years, the fertile land is barren, thousands of miles of hunger and death, and thousands of miles of hunger are recommended, all because of these corpses and vegetarians, you may not recognize them? You don't recognize them, this king can recognize them clearly..."

As he spoke, King Yueyang suddenly looked fierce, his voice was ruthless, and he said quickly: "Luo Ya, the former deputy governor of Jiangzhen, committed the following crimes twelve years ago to murder Shangguan, tampered with military aircraft without permission, led troops to cross the border into Jiangnan, and killed more than 30,000 innocent people in Lingguan County. Shi Wancheng, the former Qiyang guard. The fornication thief army, the north and south gates were opened, and the thieves invaded the south, and the first merit in the southern region was none other than this person. The dove condition, the original thorn pass will be. Jingshan pretended to pass the holy decree in the first battle, and privately dispatched the defenders to attack Lingbo City at night, slaughtering the city and killing 100,000 people in seven days. Pile up corpses, create a great epidemic, and destroy Lingbo for thousands of miles! These people are all famous and famous, and they have made great achievements in war, who doesn't know them?"

“......”

The river is surging and the long boat is swinging.

The cold wind is miserable, and the candles are lit up.
