The old scholar flew over, but the Qi army's massacre did not stop.
He flew past the hellish 'slaughterhouse'.
Under the cold gazes of a few Qiu Offense Army generals, he flew to the front of Chongxuan Chu Liang.
What he saw from the corner of his eyes was a massacre. All he heard were sorrowful cries.
He looked sorrowful, but in front of Chongxuan Chu Liang, who was in the air, he straightened his back and looked rather dignified.
"Who are you?" Chongxuan Chu Liang asked.
"I am Yang Country's … former Yang Country's Red Tail County Chief, Huang Yixing!" The old scholar bowed and replied.
After bowing slightly, he said anxiously, "Commander, you are a god in commanding troops. Today, you destroyed a country in battle, and you deserve to be famous in the world! However, the two armies fought and killed each other. Killing and surrendering are unknown! Since ancient times, surrenders were spared from death. Commander, why did you order a massacre? I can't bear to see you suffer such a bad reputation, so I risked my life to persuade you! "
"Since you know me, you should know my name." Chongxuan Chu Liang was still holding Yang Jiande's head in his hand. When he heard this, he said calmly, "No matter how evil you are, can you be more evil than the word 'murderer'?"
Huang Yixing instinctively looked at Yang Jiande. Yang Jiande's head was covered in blood, but his round eyes seemed to be looking straight at him.
He instinctively avoided his gaze and said with a trembling voice, "Commander, the heavens are virtuous …"
Chongxuan Chu Liang interrupted him. "The heavens also have the power to kill! These soldiers dared to go against the Heavenly Army. If we don't kill them, how can we uphold the heavens' prestige? "
"Yang Court has been weak for a hundred years, and three generations were revered! In the end, it was the army that invaded the country. General, what's wrong with that? "Huang Yixing could not hide his anger." What's wrong with soldiers protecting their country? On the battlefield, they were just fighting for their own masters. Now that the outcome has been decided, commander! The butcher's knife should stop! "
"You mean that Da Qi is an unrighteous army and invades this place?" Chongxuan Chu Liang's eyes narrowed.
"I don't dare to have such intentions!" Huang Yixing pleaded. "Yang Court is corrupt, and the Yang Lord is immoral. Today, they deserve to die! But the Yang people were innocent! Qi and Yang have been in alliance for several generations, when have the people of Yang ever deviated? "
"You people …" Chongxuan Chu Liang pointed at him, "You've always been arrogant and willful, always thinking that you're rich and noble! It was as if they regarded Qi's honor as their honor, and regarded Qi's strength as their strength. They were just vines that were leeching on Qi's body! Now that the tree is going to get rid of the vines that are obstructing its growth, do you still feel proud? "
Huang Yixing was in a daze for a long time before he finally spoke with difficulty, "Today, the state has been destroyed, the Yang Clan's ancestral temple has no more descendants. This was the will of the heavens! However … "
His voice gradually rose, "Since the Yang Court has been destroyed, this place is now the land of Qi, and the people of Yang are the people of Qi. How can they slaughter their own people? Moreover, Jing Mu was eyeing them covetously in the north, and Xie Xia was in the south, harboring old grudges. There is a strong scenery in the west that looks down on the world! Although Qi is strong, how can he win the hearts of people by killing them? "
Chongxuan's Chu Liang only laughed coldly, "Yang Jiande rashly mobilized his army, using the arrogance of a small country to offend the dignity of a large country. Originally, I was prepared to exterminate this region. It was a young friend who begged for mercy that made me do this troublesome thing. What bullshit reason and conflict of interests are you talking to me about! Would I, Chongxuan's Chu Liang, listen? "
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the young friend he was referring to was naturally Jiang Wang.
As for this plea, it was completely false.
In order to defeat Yang Jiande, Chongxuan's Chu Liang had the determination to kill all the people and soldiers of the Yang Clan, but that was only the worst case scenario. No matter how infamous he was, he wouldn't go so far as to kill everyone in the Jueyang Region when victory was already decided.
Only Chung Geng Sheng knew that this was to raise Jiang Wang's reputation. In essence, it was to use Junggenjia's Qingyang Town as a banner to re-establish order after the war. It was an important step in the "dividing of the pie" segment.
Chung Geng Sheng's thinking might be a little simplistic, but he was right about one thing. Junggenjia did indeed need someone of the light, or at least someone who "looked like the light".
Because he was Chongxuan's Chu Liang, there really wasn't anyone suitable to be a banner that could comfort the people's hearts.
Of course, there might be other reasons, but they weren't worth mentioning …
"In my life, I've only knelt before the heavens and the earth, and I've never bowed to anyone!"
Seeing Chongxuan's Chu Liang's attitude, Huang Yixing suddenly knelt down in midair in front of him.
He knocked his knee against the air, "I'm willing to kneel for the common people! I beg the marshal to have mercy on the people of the Yang Clan, please don't kill the innocent! "
The sound of a war blade cutting through a neck and blood spurting out. There were screams, cries of pain, begging for mercy, and strange cries of slaughter …
All the sounds of slaughter seemed to indicate something.
Chongxuan's Chu Liang stared at Huang Yixing for a long time before saying, "Military orders are like mountains. I have no reason to take them back. However, I'm moved by your courage. You're one of the few loyal people in the Yang Clan. For your sake, I'll spare the lives of the people of the Yang Clan, as long as they sincerely submit … Are you willing to pass on this order for me? "
His meaning was that there was no room for negotiation.
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Huang Yixing pressed his hands against the air and bent down. He touched his forehead to the back of his hands and said with tears streaming down his face, "I'm willing!"
Then he turned and shot away, not looking at the battlefield again.
Chongxuan's Chu Liang didn't care about him. He only lifted Yang Jiande's head and looked at it at the same level. He suddenly sighed, "The Yang Clan has lost the hearts of the people. How can you be the only one to blame?"
His personal guard came forward with a jade box.
He put the head back into the jade box, took another look at it, and then closed the lid.
"Send it back to Linzi." He sighed.
In the entire Yang Clan, only Yang Jiande and Ji Cheng had the right to send the heads back to Linzi for praise.
At this time, Chung Geng Sheng walked over with difficulty. His face was full of murderous intent, "Commander, are you really going to kill him?"
Zhongxuan Chu Liang first glanced at him and then said, "On the battlefield, death and life are common."
"Fourteen are not dead!" Chung Geng Sheng said and added, "What I hate are the soldiers under my command. There are only seven hundred left of the five thousand!"
Chongxuan's Chu Liang didn't comment. He only replied to his previous question, "Since he's a traitor, let's give him some reputation!"
Then he turned around and returned to the main camp, no longer looking at the battlefield behind him.
Since Chongxuan's Chu Liang had given the order, the two hundred and ten thousand soldiers of the Yang Clan had to be killed.
Huang Yixing seemed to be loyal and compassionate, but he was the County Chief of Red Tail County. He didn't enter the battlefield before the war and couldn't save the dead Yang Clan. After the war, he rushed out to stop the massacre.
Although there might be some righteousness, it was probably more to save the reputation of the people.
Although it was said that he risked his life to save the people, in reality, under such circumstances, Chongxuan's Chu Liang killing him was worse than killing ten thousand soldiers.
The reason why the Yang Court lost the hearts of the people, other than the King's inaction, was that the officials in the Yang Court all had their own ideas. Whether it was for fame or profit, they were all selfish.
That was why Chongxuan's Chu Liang said that Huang Yixing was a traitor.
He didn't hesitate to trample on the Yang Clan and removed himself from the blame. It was as if he was the only one who was clean when the whole country was in chaos. However, as the County Chief of Red Tail County, he was undoubtedly a high-ranking official in the Yang Court. How could the Yang Court's past decisions not involve him? In the end, this person only cared about his reputation and didn't care about his country!
Even so, he still had to fulfill this person's reputation. It was because of this person's existence that it was convenient for Qi to rule this place.
The more evil the Yang Clan was, the more good the Qi Clan's officials were.
Jiang Wang was a flag in Qingyang Town, which was called a paradise.
Huang Yixing was also a flag in the Yang Clan, which was called bringing order to the chaos.
With these two flags, he didn't have to worry about not being able to win the hearts of the people.
