Chapter Seventy-Five: Hell on Earth


The scene became weird, and after a while, Zhu Jun suddenly laughed loudly, looked at the messenger and said, "Tell me quickly, what is Your Majesty's will?"

"Back to the general, Your Majesty said, the first evil Li Dao and Guo Yan have been ambushed, and the rest are evil, although it is a crime to help evil, but the virtue of a good life is born in heaven, and it is not the original intention of the generals to follow the evil, it is to be lightly punished, officers and officers at all levels are demoted by one level, fined for one year, and train soldiers diligently, and do not cause trouble for no reason and harm the people." took out a roll of silk cloth from his arms and handed it to Zhu Jun.

"Okay" Zhu Jun took the silk cloth, and after confirming it, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Although Your Majesty is young, he already has a bit of a Ming Jun, which is really the luck of the Han Dynasty, and the luck of the world This general has been offended a lot before." ” "No problem."

The person who came hurriedly shook his head and looked at the three people: "Your Majesty should still have a will, and it should have been sent to General Zhang Ji's camp at this moment, and the last general still has military affairs in his body, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he will leave." ” Zhu Jun nodded, and ordered someone to change a good horse for him, Li Dao and Guo Yan have been ambushed, and the overall situation of Chang'an has been controlled by Liu Xie.

Zhu Jun has been in officialdom for many years, and he naturally knows this truth, although he has the intention to return to Chang'an immediately and return to the court, he also knows that at this moment, what he should do more is to help His Majesty control the military power, and not to make these Xiliang troops turbulent again.

He doesn't think that these Xiliang troops will honestly accept Liu Xie's power, although Chang'an is pacified, but the Xiliang army is scattered in Guanzhong, once the chaos starts, the blow to the people's livelihood in Guanzhong is disastrous, he stays here, just to suppress the rebellion at any time, and clear the way for His Majesty to return to power.

At the moment, he ordered Zhang Ji to leave the soldiers he brought, and he returned to the camp to preside over military affairs, and trained the troops diligently, but Zhang Xiu was left behind, and he was very fond of this brave and extraordinary, and he was very fond of the young general who was quite strategic, and wanted to stay in the army to train one or two, and he would not be a good general of the Han Dynasty in the future, it was better than being protected under Zhang Ji's wings.

At the same time, he sent someone to Hongnong, and informed Huangfu Song of the news, the two have known each other for many years, although they are different, but they have the same temperament, and now the revitalization of the Han Dynasty is expected, such a happy event, and should be shared with old friends.

However, the chaos of the Xiliang army, did not wait, Liu Xie sent people to pass the edict to all parts of the Guanzhong at the same time, with Xu Huang, Fan Chou two troops also went out at the same time, to recover the military power in various places, in less than half a month of effort, with the fall of Li Dao, Guo Yan The two banners, and Fan Chou, such as the Xiliang fierce generals, were loyal, plus Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, these veterans waved their flags and shouted for Liu Xie, and the garrisons around the country were quickly surrendered by the troops sent by the imperial court.

At the same time, the military power in various places was also divided by Liu Xie, during the non-war period, the army commanders under the command of the troops shall not exceed 10,000 people, after Liu Xie took power, the first thing is to firmly grasp the military power in his hands, the army commanders have too much power, it is definitely not a good thing for Liu Xie, of course, Liu Xie also knows that if you want to hurry, you will not reach, so the commander of the army is still those Xiliang generals, but in the system, changes have been made, and the record of military merits will be listed separately, responsible for reviewing the merits and promotions of the officers and men of each army.

Although it is no different from before, but with the passage of time, although the main generals in the army remain unchanged, the grassroots generals are equivalent to Liu Xie's direct promotion, and the army's sense of belonging to the imperial court will be greatly enhanced, and at the same time, it will also weaken the generals' possession of the army.

Of course, these things need time to ferment, at least for now, the control of military power has not yet reached the height in Liu Xie's mind, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step, after taking power, Liu Xie did not immediately take any action against the Kwantung princes, but not long after Liu Xie's order was conveyed to all parts of Guanzhong, Zhu Jun, who had not yet returned to the court, had a new problem.

Hongnong, an unknown village.

Several thick black plumes of smoke had begun to fade, and the air was filled with a thick fishy smell that could be smelled from afar, and anyone who had experience in the battlefield knew that it was the smell of a corpse after many days of decomposing.

Zhang Xiu looked at the outline of the village from afar, perhaps it could no longer be called a village, but now it had turned into a ruin, and the deathly silence made people feel no trace of life in this village.

"General, it's gone."

A sentry came to Zhang Xiu's side with a gloomy face.

"Let's go, let's see."

Zhang Xiu frowned, patted the horse under his crotch, and the war horse let out a low neigh, and trotted forward.

"The general still doesn't want to go."

The sentinel smiled bitterly and followed Zhang Xiu's side.

"Why," Zhang Xiu said expressionlessly.

"It's a bit of a scene," the sentinel shook his head and smiled wryly, but he didn't know how to say it any further.

Zhang Xiu didn't answer, but he didn't stop, with a team of soldiers and horses, not long after, he had already arrived outside the village, looking at the ruins in front of him, Zhang Xiu's face turned pale, and a strong desire to vomit was suppressed by him.

The village is not large, and the radius is only about 500 steps, and looking at the traces that have not been completely burned out, I think that it is not a few days before the disaster comes.

The corpses of the horizontal and vertical, the old man who was nailed to the ground by a wooden stake, naked, obviously experienced a tragic encounter before his death, and he could not find a trace of intact skin on his body, and he could not even see the humanoid woman, Zhang Xiu couldn't think about what kind of painful torture he had suffered in his life.

Even, he found the bones of a human in a cauldron that was erected, and looked at the bones and laughed, it was clearly the bones of a young child.

Rao is Zhang Xiu was used to killing, but the tragic scene in front of him still made his heart blocked, and after a long time, he turned his head to look at the few veterans beside him: "Do you know, who are these people who do it, it doesn't look like a mountain bandit." ” Thieves also have a way, although the bandits and thieves of this era have fallen into the grass, but the basic principles of being a man are still there, and they are not as vicious as imagined, at least some of the bandits and bandits that Zhang Xiu has seen are far from being so inhumane.

"It seems that the Hu people from the north are coming."

A veteran turned over to Rome and after checking the surroundings before returning to Zhang Xiu's side and said with a wry smile.

"Huns" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows: "How could they go straight to Guanzhong" The veteran said: "The general doesn't know, in order to resist the Huns, the first emperor built a road until, which can be reached directly from the Hetao area, and the cavalry can arrive in less than ten days. ” Zhang Xiu's eyebrows jumped, took a deep breath, and turned the horse's head: "Go, go back, this matter should be reported to the court immediately" t1706231537:
