With a "slash", under the swing of the blade, the sound of entering the flesh sounded, and in an instant, the heads of several people fell to the ground.
The severed heads rolled out, the headless corpses twitched and spewed blood from their necks, but the ground was already stained with blood.
Uniformed auxiliaries run to collect the heads in baskets, and the bodies of those who have lost their heads will be carried down, and soon a group of prisoners of war will be brought in by the soldiers.
Most of these prisoners of war were physically disabled or extremely disobedient, and they would be beheaded in front of the crowd to pay tribute to the heroic souls of the Han soldiers.
A number of eliminated prisoners of war were repeatedly killed, and the crowd watching was shouting and cheering.
The bloody scene stimulated most people to blush, either excited or scared, but the scene only showed one thing, using blood and corpses to show the strength of their collective once again.
The ceremony to commemorate the souls of the dead in battle has been held on the second day, the first day is Liu Yan personally reciting the eulogy, and he took the lead in putting the first incense on the souls of the dead in battle, and the second day is to enter the link of killing the prisoners of war.
The real situation is that disabled prisoners of war are really useless, and if they are not killed, they must stay and eat dry food, and then some unruly prisoners of war cannot be left, so they can only be killed.
On the third day, the ritual was peculiar, as the prisoners of war were made to dance in public, which was a way to bring the enemy to their knees.
The problem is that the dance of the enemy chief is actually a ritual of offering captives to the king, usually the enemy chief will be dressed up as bewitching and funny, and the dance will definitely be danced like a clown to please the king's penchant for conquest, and then to entertain the officials and the public, but also to break the enemy's resistance or daring to fight.
On the fourth day, there will be an army rehearsal battle formation, which is to express a kind of spiritual inheritance to the heroic souls who died in battle, and also to show the public that there are still soldiers who will still fight.
From the fifth day onwards, Liu Yan should bathe and wear plain white mourning clothes, and meditate without eating or drinking for three consecutive days, in this way to express his mourning and remembrance for the heroic souls who died in battle.
At this moment, Liu Yan was sitting on the high platform that had been set up in plain white, and he was accompanied by some high-level civil and military officials of the Han Department in the 1st District of Huangdao Island.
Terrace-like shelves were erected around the perimeter of the high platform, which only left some necessary passages, and the remaining space was filled with urns.
Each urn represents a soldier who died in battle, some urns have a name, number plate, and nationality, while others do not.
They have gone from being alive to ashes in jars, and after the memorial service, except for some heroes who have made special contributions, they will be placed in the temple, and the rest will be placed in the open cemetery.
On the ninth day, the relatives and friends of the fallen heroes will accompany them throughout the process until the urn is placed.
The souls of the heroes who died in battle without relatives will be accompanied by the official throughout the whole journey, which can be regarded as accompanying them on the last journey.
Without exception, after being settled, they will follow the crowd to Liu Yan's place and accept Liu Yan's gratitude to them.
The memorial ceremony of the soldiers of the Han army was watched by foreign envoys throughout the ceremony.
These envoys were surprised by Liu Yan's standard treatment of the soldiers who died in battle, which was a kind of mourning that the king had been present, which was tantamount to a funeral like a national soldier.
"It is no wonder that the Han soldiers are willing to fight bloodily, and they are not afraid of death when they fight."
"If there is such treatment, there is no fear of dying in battle" "It's not for nothing that the Han army is strong" Isn't there a saying that "the king treats me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman", people's hearts are flesh and blood, and people with iron hearts are just an example, and more people are emotional animals.
What kind of treatment will be obtained, how much effort will be made, this is also the way of conservation.
"Can our king be like this?"
Li Xian said very sadly, "The roadside is dead and buried on the side of the road, and there is not even a burial." ” Li Xian was an envoy of the Qin State of the Ran clan, and by his side was Xie Ai from the Liang State of the Zhang Clan.
Not only were envoys from the Ran Qin Kingdom and the Zhang Liang Kingdom present, but also Murong Yan Kingdom, the Eastern Jin Dynasty Small Imperial Court, the Li Dynasty Chenghan, the Tuoba Dynasty, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Gaja, Kyushu, Izumo, Buyeo, Quwo, and even the destroyed Yuwen Xianbei were all present.
By the way, Shijie Zhao Guo also sent an envoy over, but they came to redeem Yao Yizhong.
Among them, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Kyushu participated in the mourning as the vassal states of Yoo Yan's side, and some of them were mourned together after the soldiers died in battle, so that after the ceremony began, they participated in the whole process with mixed feelings and pride.
Except for the Tuoba Dynasty, the rest of the countries did not come specifically to participate in the mourning, after all, it was not a world-famous high-level on the Han side who died in battle.
Some of them are here for the second meeting, some are purely to solicit assistance, and some want to improve relations.
Seriously speaking, except for the Han Dynasty, only Rome will collect the bodies of soldiers killed in battle, and there is a very high standard of memorial ceremonies on both sides, and no other country will do this again.
Of course, such memorial ceremonies are rare, and are usually held after important battles, and the king does not always need to preside over them himself.
It's not about fairness or not, in fact, every burial ceremony needs to be presided over by the king, so the king has no spare time to manage the country, so it depends on what level of ceremony is presided over by a special person.
On the Roman side there are temple priests, and on the Han side there are sacrificial wine from Valhalla.
The memorial ceremony lasted for nine days, and Liu Yan, who had not eaten or drunk for three days and three nights, looked a little weak, but after the ceremony, he personally inquired about the intentions of the envoys of various countries, and then ate something and slept for a whole day and two nights.
Liu Yan, who woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes and saw of course the silk on the top, which was part of the bed, and reached out to take the kettle next to the bed, but he saw Tuoba Xiu sitting on the side of the room with a woman who looked dignified but had never seen it, and the two women were talking in a low voice.
This discovery surprised Liu Yan, because under normal circumstances, strangers are not allowed to enter the bedroom at all, especially at night.
Tuoba Xiu, who was talking, saw Liu Yan wake up and immediately got up and approached, she bowed, and first asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Liu Yan nodded more directly, and when he woke up, he felt very hungry.
After nodding, he looked at the unknown woman, and the initial impression was that the woman was estimated to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and from the perspective of temperament, she was well-educated, and she had a distinct smell of books.
The woman saw Liu Yan's gaze, she was slightly embarrassed at first, and then calmed down after being nervous, which was also a blessing, but she didn't speak.
Liu Yan asked confusedly: "Are you?"
"The little girl is Cui's daughter, named Wan."
Cui Wan did not lift the salute posture, and said in a low voice: "The king can call the woman Wan'er." ” This time, Liu Yanke immediately reacted.

He remembered that Ji Chang had been talking about the concubine on Cui's side, so Cui Wan was one of the achievements of the Han army's northward march to Jizhou this time Speaking of which, Liu Yan has always known that it is impossible for Tuoba Xiu or any Hu woman to become the queen of the Han Kingdom after the founding of the country.
That was a politically determined matter, and it was not directly related to Liu Yan's personal preferences.
It can even be said that unless he wants to bury a huge hidden danger and forcibly choose a Hu woman as the queen, he will not even mention it.
"My sister has been here for seven days, and my husband was presiding over the memorial for the fallen soldiers."
Tuoba Xiu said a few words to the outside, it was to prepare food, which was what Liu Yan liked to eat.
She is older than Cui Wan, but she calls Cui Wan sister, and she looks like she is clear about the upcoming results, but she doesn't know if the mentality under the surface is like above the surface.
She smiled and asked Liu Yan, "Does the husband want to freshen up first?"
Liu Yanke didn't have the habit of gargling and grooming and eating, so he got up very naturally and began to put on his clothes, without any intention of avoiding Cui Wan because of his presence.
It's not that he ignores others after he becomes a king, but he knows that Cui Wan is one of the candidates for the queen of Ji Chang and other civil and military forces, so Cui Wan's avoidance will be thought about too much, so it is better to go with the flow like a family.
Not far from the outside, a group of people gathered in the side room to deal with government affairs, Sang Yu saw the maid passing by, turned his head and said to Cai You: "It seems to be good." ” Cai You said with a smile: "At least I was not ostracized." ” Which one in a high position is not a human spirit sounds like a head and tail, but in fact, he has already clarified Liu Yan's reaction to seeing Cui Wan after waking up.
"Recently, there have been a lot of people who have come to discuss marriage."
Sang Yu nagged while dealing with government affairs and had free time: "The royal families of the Ran family, the Zhang family, the Murong family, and the Sima family, and then there are local famous families with surnames, almost all of them are here. ” "Didn't Qin come like this" Cai You did not hide his pride: "In the past, the king of Qin did not have a queen, and all countries in the world competed to marry, the starting point may be different, but the expectations are the same." ” Zhao Shiying's surname Zhengke is a great man, in addition to dominating the world during his reign, he also created glorious deeds that made various countries give away women.
It's not just the Warring States, the surrounding Hu people and alien races, regardless of whether it is a country or not, or a tribal state, anyway, the first thought of a beautiful woman is to send it to the palace of King Qin.
Hmm, it must be said that there was no Goryeo in the pre-Qin period, so the broken affair between Meng Yi and Princess Goryeo did not exist.
The "big brother" filmed after he got old was very unparticular, after the pre-Qin "built" a Goryeo, there were oolongs in the follow-up, for example, the capital of the Western Regions Protectorate was actually smaller than the official position and rank of a county, and then it was not even clear that the Western Regions were not outside Yanmen Pass.
Liu Yan is now also facing the general situation of Zhao's winning surname, and various countries and forces are scrambling to send beautiful women, but they don't know whether to stare at the vacant position of the queen, or to use beauty to decay.
"Fortunately, Tuoba Daiguo is in that situation now, otherwise" Sang Yu smiled sheepishly, as if he felt that something was wrong and didn't say anything after all, and changed the topic: "The reward statistics will probably be sorted out at dawn, do you want to submit it at the right time?"
Lu Yi, who had been buried in the desk, finally raised his head, and said: "The sooner you deal with it, the better." ” After the war, there must be rewards, and it is one thing to boost morale, and it is another thing to reward and punish strictly, the main thing is not to let the wait turn into impatience, and if it drags on for a long time, it will not only be chilling, but also draining the spirit.
There was no need for them to wait, it didn't take long for Liu Yan to appear in this side room, and the first thing he came over was to ask about the credit counting process.
"It's almost fine."
Sang Yu looked Liu Yan up and down, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency's spirit is good."
It is not the first time that Liu Yan has been teased by Sang Yu, and he doesn't have any angry thoughts in his heart, but he thinks that Sang Yu is very interesting.
As a king, being respected has become a norm, and when everyone is restrained in the face of themselves, it's actually good to have a brave guy who can joke.
Naturally, Sang Yu didn't want to position himself as Dongfang Shuo's role, he was purely out of character, and he also found that Liu Yan enjoyed this kind of joke very much, as long as he controlled it to a certain extent, it was actually conducive to the communication between the monarch and the minister.
Cai You and Lu Yi had smiles on their faces, the two of them were actually very envious of Sang Yu in their hearts, but it was something they couldn't learn, and the consequences of doing it were unpredictable.
"It's all rushing back," Liu Yan was drinking the porridge brought by the maid, "hehe" said with a smile: "This is the first time to reward you in a big way." ” "The founding of the country is also imminent, Your Majesty."
Sang Yu held a small bowl, and took small bites with temperament and grace, but the speed was extremely fast.
He asked the person waiting next to him to add another bowl, and he was satisfied with eating the food, and then he said seriously: "The founding ceremony must be present at the time." ” Yes, there can be a few more times for the founding of the country, even if the war is tight ahead, the people who should be present must be there, and that is related to personal honor and political status after the founding of the country.
In order to be able to catch up with the presence of the founding ceremony, the commanders on all fronts are working hard, and the phenomenon is that the recent offensive of the Han army is extremely fierce, and the Zhao army of Yanzhou and Yuzhou Shijie, Sun Fu, who were unable to withstand it, were directly beaten by Huan Wen and Xie An to collapse, and Liu Min and Lu Yong on the Yuzhou side also had to retreat.
In the direction of Jizhou, the Han army entered Zhangwu County but a major war broke out, and it was the Shijie Zhao army in the direction of Sizhou to go north to reinforce, and at the same time, Shi Bin also divided his troops to ensure his own back road.
The founding ceremony was about to begin, and Lu Tai and Ji Chang originally wanted to attack more violently, but they received a direct order from Liu Yan to let the two of them arrange a battle line along Zhangwu County, and after the arrangements were made, the two of them would come back to participate in the founding ceremony.
Of course, Liu Yan would do that not purely out of taking care of the civil and military forces on the Jizhou battlefield, but Shijie Zhao Guo's reaction was very fierce, and Murong Yanjun's side also seemed to have a tendency to take advantage, so what if the Han army stopped for the time being.
"Your Majesty."
Sang Yu said with a smile: "On the side of the small court and the Yan Kingdom, both sides want to marry the princess, whether we accept it or not."
Liu Yan heard this, but remembered other things, and asked: "Is Tuoba Daiguo bad?"
For a while, no one could answer, and at the same time they made eye contact, their hearts were not good, and Tuoba Xiu's concession should not make Liu Yan feel any debt.
Dividing line Tragically, the timed release failed.
In addition, the honor will be adjusted, and it will resume at least two chapters a day after the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar
