Vol 3 Chapter 2275: The Return of the Soul of Zhengrongzhou


One day later, Zheng Rongzhou.
The river was full of warships on fire, and the floating corpses of the Chu army were all over the river. On one side of the river, a big wave hit, and hundreds of thousands of Chu army corpses washed up on the tidal flats along the river. There were nearly 10,000 prisoners of the Chu Army in single clothes. They were with a string of ropes with their heads down. They were escorted by the arrogant Beifu sergeants, and walked towards the Beifu army camp in the distance. Above the river, there are everywhere. The boats with the flag of the Beifu Army patrolled back and forth and lassoed the Chu soldiers who were still struggling to survive on the river. While pulling up the boat, they were directly tied with these nooses, and some of them were already caught. The unlucky ghosts like dead fish were simply chopped off their heads and thrown into the piles of heads on the decks of these warships. They became the new military trophies of these Northern Sergeants. The entire battlefield was filled with Wu language and The arrogant screams of Jiangnan accent and Jingxiang’s begging for mercy, accompanied by the surging river and the fire on the burned warship, resounded across dozens of miles.
On a small hill by the river, Liu Yizhi was proud, standing with a sword standing on the head of the hill, while Liu Fan behind him, holding a white hair head, was Feng Ge, He smiled and said, "Big Brother, Feng Gai's head is here. This should be the highest-ranking general that Chu army was beheaded this time."
Liu Cui on one side followed and said, "Yes, Feng Ge is a veteran who has followed Huan Wen for many years. Back then, Qin Puppet Emperor Fu Pi was also beaten by him. It can be described as a famous general in the Jing Chu army. Today's battle, the Chu army started from the beginning. The whole line broke apart, only he was the one who continued to command and resist, and finally was besieged and killed by dozens of battleships of our army, which is considered to be doing his duty as a soldier."
Liu Yi said indifferently, "As an enemy, you deserve respect, but the enemy is the enemy. The order is to hang his head at the gate and show it to the public for three days, so that all the prisoners of the Chu army and the soldiers of Jingzhou who come and return can see it. Also, The officers above the leader of the Chu army who were beheaded in this battle, the first level also hangs up with Feng Gai's. Let everyone see clearly!"
He Wuji's brows frowned slightly, "Xile, this is not so good, it is against the benevolent style of our army. Jinu said before we set off this time, this battle is better than killing the enemy."
Liu Yi smiled faintly. "I'm just attacking the heart. Is it only like Zhuge Liang's seven captures and seven verticals, and Meng Huo. Feng Ge desperately resisted, you can see that even at this point, Huan Xuan still has many members and a lot of diehard loyalties. In this battle, we eliminated the best friends like Feng Ge and his subordinates, but it was not enough. There were still tens of thousands of Chu. The army has escaped, and in the future, they may continue to make trouble and become an enemy against us while our army is away. Therefore, we must let them see what it is like to oppose us!"
Liu Daogui sighed softly, "It's just that Brother Xi Le doesn't worry. If this happens, will many Jingzhou sergeants hate us? The thousands of Chu troops we killed today, dozens of middle and high-level military academies, their relatives Friends, if they see their heads hanging outside the camp gate in the end, will they really convince us?"
Wei Yongzhi’s voice rang from the post.
So, after the first three days, Xiao Xiao should still return these heads to their families, allowing them to be buried well, and even give them a coffin. Three days later, arrange a memorial service to worship these. Undead, in this way, I am afraid that the people of Jingchu will no longer resent us."
Everyone turned their heads to look at the off-duty, only to see Wei Yongzhi slightly squinted, dressed in official uniforms, step by step, Wei Shunzhi brought more than a hundred guards and stood behind him.
Liu Yi stepped forward with a smile, and gave Wei Yongzhi a hug, "Rabbit, don't you stay in Yuzhou, what are you doing here?"
Wei Yongzhi smiled and took Liu Yi's hand. "There is nothing wrong in the north anyway. After Qin has lost the momentum for expansion in the past few years, Nan Yan has also been sent back to the slaves. As for the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is temporarily unable to invade south. I am in Yuzhou. Zhangmin’s defense was handed over to Changmin and the others, who had taken turns back to rest, and then sent a letter to the court to help you. Although I didn’t bring any soldiers and horses, after all, I spent a while under Yin Zhongkan’s hands. I was concerned about the situation in Jingzhou. Civil and military generals still have some understanding, hoping to help the army, reduce unnecessary bloodshed, and calm the land of Jingchu early."
He Wuji laughed and patted Wei Yongzhi on the shoulder. "You dead rabbit, I almost forgot to mention it. You used to stay here for a long time. Just now you said that Feng Gai’s first level was three days later. Return it to their family, can it really resolve the hatred?"
Wei Yongzhi said indifferently, "The people of Chu are fierce. Since the pre-Qin period, everyone has been warlike, but superstitious of ghosts and gods, and light death. For foreign enemies, you can be killed on the battlefield, but you can't insult them. Life and death are inevitable, but if you humiliate the corpse after death, or do things like Duijing, the soul of the deceased will be uneasy and will be transformed into a ghost. We must calm the Chu land in the future. Victory on the battlefield is not enough, we still have to win people’s hearts. At the same time they defeated them militarily, they should be treated with benevolence and righteousness, like sending slaves to Luoluoqiao and burying the emperor righteously. This practice is worthy of our promotion."
An unpleasant color flashed across Liu Yi's face, and then disappeared. He turned to smile and said, "The rabbit said so well, I have forgotten that Chu people believe in ghosts and gods, um~EbookFREE.me~that At the same time that Feng Gai’s first class was shown to the public, an announcement was also issued that three days later, their family members should come to collect the corpses, order the heavy camp, and prepare the corresponding coffins to help them be buried."
Liu Daogui's brows wrinkled slightly, "Brother Xi Le, my little brother, in my humble opinion, compared to these things, should we hurry up and kill Huan Xuan?"
Liu Yi waved his hand. "In this battle, Huan Xuan has lost everything. The first battle in Huankou Sangluozhou, and the two places in Yuzhou and Jiangzhou were still loyal to his troops. They almost died in the first battle. Today, when he returns to Jingzhou, he can get together. Yes, all the troops who were still willing to follow him on the battlefield were also wiped out. Now he is a real cycling steward, the emperor of grass head, and the guards around him don’t know if there are two hundred, if we kill Huan Xuan now. , Maybe someone will use this to incite hatred in the future and make chaos again when the army returns. And if we temporarily retreat to wait and see, there must be people who want to change the court and kill Huan Xuan as a meeting ceremony and proof of loyalty."
Speaking of this, Liu Yi smiled and pointed to Feng Ge’s deadly head. "Just like Feng Ge, when he killed Pi Pi, didn’t he also want to give himself a credit? Yesterday Feng Ge killed the pseudo-Qin Emperor. What will happen to Huanxuan, the pseudo-Emperor of Chu today? You guys, might as well garrison here for a few days to see which Jingchu hero will be, and give us the head of Huanxuan."
The generals agreed in unison, "Yes!"
