Chapter three hundred and twenty four.
Yuan Shang only fled to Dai Kingdom with less than 10,000 remnants, and then completely lost his foothold. He fled to Youzhou in a panic. The Yecheng captured in mid-December, including a large area of Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, and the huge counties of Jizhou, who were watching the huge counties of Jizhou, were impatient to send people to surrender to express their loyalty to General Cao. Every day, the princes and officials of aristocratic families who were racing on horseback on the official road almost blocked the city gates.
The fall of Yecheng marked the complete fall of Yuan's rule in Jizhou.
In the past ten days of the nine years of Jian'an, Cao Cao, the new owner of this land, seized the time to make a comeback.
The first major thing is to pull out the opposition forces that have too deep relations with the Yuan family.
It has to be admitted that although the Foresight Shangshen Pei lost to other strategists, such as the deposed eldest son and young master, it caused the division of Yuan's family, he was really a cadre and a loyal minister. Not to mention anything else, with more than 10,000 county and state soldiers, he held Yecheng for more than half a year without falling. Even after Yuan Shang was defeated, he was not defeated by Cao Cao, so that Wang Hou had to think of evil ways.
Then even if the city was broken, he would not surrender. After persuading him to surrender for a long time, Mr. Cao had no choice but to order him to execute him!
Today is the day to execute the prisoners!
Just like on TV, prison vans were filled with prisoners. The first few cars were like Shen Pei, Zhao He, Cao An and other well-known figures under Yuan Shao's command in Yecheng could also enjoy a prison van. The remaining hundreds of people were implicated and destroyed. Just like the Indian trains in later generations, they could be stuffed as much as they could, and were extremely crowded and pulled to the execution ground.
The success and the defeat of the king are reflected here at a moment. Twenty-four hours ago, these people were still superiors among the 200,000 to 300,000 people in Yecheng. Master and the upper class are now in vain, and they are inseparable from fame and fortune, and they are inseparable from the execution ground. I wonder if they will envy those civilians who are so poor that they cannot eat enough, but can easily surrender and continue to live.
It should be! There were crying everywhere in the dozen prison cars behind. Not to mention the women implicated in the execution ground, even the young master who was pampered and lived in a state of tears, and he cried with a little white face, and the whole line was full of bitter wind and rain.
However, there was no sympathy, no joy, or anger on the faces of the Yecheng people who watched them come out of the house tremblingly. The only thing they had on their numb faces was perhaps the only emotion of fear.
Before, Yuan Shao implemented benevolent politics, and indeed gained a lot of people's hearts among the common people in Hebei. However, when people died, half of this kindness was dispersed. Moreover, as soon as Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi succeeded to the throne, they collected grain endlessly and competed for each other's throne, and plundered three feet higher than Wang Tian, which even delivered the last bit of afterglow.
After siege of Yecheng for more than six months, the more than 400 aristocratic tribes in the prison car are still fat and strong! But the original population of Yecheng is more than 300,000, but now there are only 170,000 to 180,000!
At this time, everyone didn’t care whether the surname was Yuan or Cao above their heads. If you go there early, you can have a peaceful life!
Wang Hou is also here for the execution of the court.
I really don’t know whether Cao always has a bad taste or a superstitious person. Like Han Xin, the only one who survived from the scumbag was Wang Hou. So this time he named him as the prison officer, saying that he was using his luck to suppress him and save him another knife to keep people.
So he had to do a big cross-dress, like the big villain or a big fish in the TV series, wearing an official robe and a green steel plate armor, and sat steadily on the execution ground on the crossroads as a prison officer.
While he was waiting with his elbow, he marched in the city for a long time, and these prison vans were finally escorted to the execution ground.
If you think about it carefully, Wang Hou is really similar to Han Xin. He was fooled on the guillotine and survived. Moreover, Han Xin was a country of Qi and was granted the title of King of Qi. Now the governor of Qingzhou is also Qi. He just doesn’t know what the outcome will be. He probably will be better than Han Xin!
With a lot of thoughts, more than a dozen jailmen pushed Shen Pei and finally got on the execution ground. The old man was fucked and thin. I guess he had worked hard for the days he was besieged. His eyes were red and swollen like pandas, and his beard was messy and like a dead grass. But don’t look at the old man being fucked and thin, the gentry and civil and military are not separated these days. The two Cao soldiers pressed his shoulders and let him kneel on the ground. The old man actually stumbled his shoulders, shook the executioner's clamp, turned around and faced Wang Hou, and shouted loudly.
"I am loyal and loyal, but when I am not lucky, I betrayed the villain and defeated you. I only have the last wish. I am in the north, please die in the north! My soul pursues my master!"
During the Three Kingdoms, surrendering generals and ministers were actually very common. Just like Jia Xu, he changed four masters one after another. Zhang He was also a surrendered from Hebei, and he still became a good general of five sons. He even surrendered to Guan Yu at a very old age, although he did not end up well later.
It is rare to be loyal to Shen Pei.
Moreover, Mr. Cao had already secretly explained that he had to physically eliminate such a stern and hard-working member, but the elimination of this can be promoted by everyone and encourage his subordinates to be loyal to him. When he returned to his country, Wang Hou nodded with a blank expression.
"You are allowed to die in the north!"
The old guy nodded with satisfaction, but he would not thank Wang Hou before. He just snorted coldly and knelt down in his direction.
The two sons, five grandsons, and a whole family were followed by the escort. Listening to the trembling sound of his fearful breathing behind him, the old guy was finally moved a little, but he was just moved a little, raised his head and closed his eyes, and Shen Pei stopped saying anything more.
Seeing Wang Hou pulling out the arrow from the box on the table and throwing it on the ground, the executioner raised the machete high, and heard a click, Shen Pei's grandparents and grandchildren fell down like a watermelon.
When I watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I killed someone and slashed it out, and then took back a fake prop that could not be fake and handed it over. But at this moment, it happened alive in front of me, especially when I was still facing me. Seeing the blood splashing, Wang Hou couldn't help but thrilled. Seeing the executioner coming over with Shen Pei's bloody head, Wang Hou simply waved his hand and asked him to retreat directly. At the same time, a look was passed to the other end. After the Yecheng City was broken, the surrendered governor Zhang Ziyi.
Looking at the corpses of the Shen family who fell all over the ground, the old guy was full of gratitude, and while pride, he reached over Shen Pei's head with a little complacent feeling. He strided to the edge of the execution ground with great strides. He held his hair high and arrogantly shouted at the Jizhou aristocratic people who were watching the punishment in the three layers below.
"Those who follow the thief die! Those who have bad intentions will destroy the three tribes! You can take it as a warning!"
As soon as the verbal tip turned, he shouted louder again.
"But the Prime Minister is kind! Although Shen is stubborn, his loyalty is commendable. He is allowed to be buried in the north! Come on! Take the corpse and send it down!"
The first act of political image display is over! Seeing the Qingzhou Army soldiers lifting down, Wang Hou, who was leaning on the case with his chin, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could recover, the grinning cry suddenly came.
"Prime Minister, please spare me! The lower-ranking official is in Yuan's camp and his heart is in Han! He has long admired the prime minister's reputation for a long time. He is really not a close friend of Yuan's thief. Please beg the Prime Minister to be kind to you!"
The snot and tears flowed down. While the soldiers were pressed to the execution ground, the Jizhou Langguan Zhao He was grinning and jumping up and down begging for mercy...
After all, loyal ministers and good generals are still admirable, which is a bit disgusting. Wang Houbo waved his slap impatiently. The Cao army soldiers who were responsible for the execution were also sensible. They pushed Zhao He's family directly and pressed them hard to kneel down. Then, amid the grinning sound of the Hequ family begging for mercy, they swung the beheading sword and slashed down.
Listening to the sound of clicking, Wang Hou, who was lazily leaning on the table with his chin, did not notice that the feeling of mastering life and death and holding power was vaguely enjoyed!
