Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 139
"Oh!" Seeing Li Hui's confused expression, Peng Yi knew that Li Hui must have misunderstood his words, so he explained: "It is the Great Qin State in Haixi, not the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

"Haixi!" Li Hui understood immediately and understood the country Peng Yi was referring to as the Great Qin Kingdom.

It is said that the Great Qin State was a large country in the far west, and it was no less generous than the Han Dynasty. The Great Qin State was also known as Plough, because it was in the west of Haixi, which is also the Haixi Kingdom.The area is thousands of miles away and there are more than [-] cities.

In the past, during the reign of Emperor He, Banchao, the Protector of the Western Regions, sent his subordinate Gan Ying as envoy to the Great Qin Kingdom. Gan Ying led the envoy and his delegation set off from Qiuci, traveled westward to Shule, crossed Congling, passed through Dayuan and Dayuezhi to the capital of Anxi and Xi'an. Chucheng was followed by Aman, Sibin, and Yuluo, and when it arrived at Tiaozhi, it was very close to the Great Qin State. However, due to some reasons, it did not reach the Great Qin State in the end.

Therefore, the world only knew the name of the Great Qin State, but did not know the actual situation, but they never thought that Liu Zhang actually knew something about the Great Qin State in the far west, which made Li Hui admire him a little.

Hearing Li Hui say the word Haixi, Peng Yi knew that Li Hui had understood the country that Da Qin was referring to.

He continued, talking about the purpose of Liu Zhang's construction of the guillotine: "There are thousands of Sou and Yi people captured this time. According to the law, the crime of rebellion is against the three Yi tribes, and all these Yi people will be killed... But Ming Gongxin Benevolence, I plan to spare the women and children of Soyi, and only execute more than a thousand of the strong soldiers among Soyi."

"Although the number of executions is smaller, it is still too cumbersome to arrange for the axe-hands to behead one by one. The ax blade will probably break hundreds of handles, and it will also be too tiring for the axe-hands... So Ming Gong We borrowed the guillotine from the Great Qin State in Haixi to save manpower and material resources and avoid wasting swords and axes. Making swords and axes is quite expensive."

"Where is the Yong family? How does Duke Ming want to deal with the Yong family." Li Hui asked about Liu Zhang's handling of the Yong family. In the past few days, he had been serving as the commander of Qiongdu City and was busy handling the affairs of Qiongdu City, expelling and detaining residents who lived in Qiongdu City. The Yi people in Qiongdu City also resettled the Han people who were originally driven away from Qiongdu City by the Yi King Gaoyuan to live in Qiongdu City.

Therefore, Li Hui, who was too busy to touch the ground, was not very clear about the news in the Chinese army's tent in the past few days. He did not know the use of the "guillotine" or Liu Zhang's handling of the rebellious Soyi and Yong clan.

Speaking of the Yong clan, Peng Yi had a teasing look on his face unnaturally. He said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Does Li Jun know that when the two captains Shen Mi and Lou Fa attacked Qiongdu City, Yong Mian, the head of the Yong clan? He happened to kill the Yi King Gaoyuan and decided to surrender to Duke Ming."

"Oh, there is such a thing." Li Hui said in surprise. Regarding Yong Mian, he knew that he was shot by Lou Fa, but he didn't know about Yong Mian's determination to surrender.

"Then why did Yong Mian shoot him for Lieutenant Lou? He just decided to surrender, so there is no need to kill him."

"Who said Yong Mian's life was bad?" Peng Yi sneered, with some pleasure, wantonly mocking Yong Mian who had rebelled and died: "Under my divorce plan, the Yong family and Gao Yuan really broke out. King Gao Yuan of Yi killed Yong Mian's son Yong Kai in front of Yong Mian, and led his troops to attack each other. Then Gao Yuan accidentally shot an arrow in his left eye and was killed by Yong Mian."

"At that time, Yong Mian was holding the head of Yi Wang Gaoyuan and was about to shout out words of surrender to the two captains Shen Mi and Lou Fa. Unfortunately, he did not speak fast enough and was not as fast as Captain Lou's arrow. He did not finish his words. , he was shot in the neck by Captain Lou with an arrow, but he had no time to surrender."

"This information was obtained by interrogating Yong Mian's personal guards on behalf of Duke Ming. It has not yet been compiled into a document and communicated to you, so Li Jun is unknown."

Here Peng Yi stated Liu Zhang's final judgment on the Yong family: "As for the Yong family's rebellion, Ming Gong planned to execute some important figures in the Yong family, as well as the Yong family's children who had done evil and harmed Yizhou County. What others said, Split it up and relocate it to different counties.”

"Ming Gong said, after all, the Yong family is a Han son, and there are signs of evil anyway, so there is no need to kill all the strong men like the Yi people, leaving only the women and children as slaves."

"Ming Gong is benevolent." Li Hui sighed with emotion. The crimes of rebellion are usually committed by the Yi tribe, and few people can escape. However, it is rare for Liu Zhang to be so magnanimous. "Ming Gong handles everything properly, but his heart is a bit soft." Peng Yi blurted out, but after finishing speaking, he felt something was wrong, so he added: "As Li Jun said, Ming Gong has a benevolent heart."

He added an example: "As for killing these rebellious people, I advised Minggong to use the heads of these rebellious people to build a palace to deter the barbarians in Yueqi County and prevent the barbarians from harboring rebellious intentions... But But Ming Gong said that everyone is dead, so there is no need to do extra things, and there will be no need to go to Jingguan and other places. After the rebels are killed later, a big hole will be dug to bury the corpses of these rebels together."

Yueqi County, Qiongdu City County Temple Prison.

After finishing a sumptuous meal, Gao Ding, the son of Yi King Gaoyuan, heard footsteps coming from the prison door. Someone was coming.

Not long after, the visitor came to the door of Gao Ding's cell. Gao Ding looked up and saw a young official in green clothes in front of him.

But I heard this young official in green say: "Mr. Gao, I have a request for you."

Here it comes, here it comes, Liu Zhang indeed sent someone to summon him. It seems that his life should not be cut off. He has a chance to survive. Gao Ding suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, trying not to let the joy show on his face, and put on a turbulent expression. Not surprised.

He cupped his hands and said to the young official in green: "No."

The young official in green clothes was not the only one who came. Behind this young official in green clothes were two strong men.

The young official in Tsing Yi knew that Gao Ding had been hit by an arrow in his knee and had difficulty with his legs and feet. He waved his hand and two tall and strong men stepped forward, one on the left and the other on the right to support Gao Ding, almost lifting him up. Couture brings out the prison.

Gao Ding, who had just been released from prison, had been in a dark cell for a long time. Facing the bright and blazing sun above his head, his eyes stung a little and it was difficult to open them. He couldn't help but blink his eyes, and it took him a while to get used to it. .

Gao Ding, who was waiting to adapt to the environment outside the prison, opened his eyes and looked in front of him, only to see that a group of them had arrived at the gate of the county temple, and a carriage was waiting for their arrival.

"Huh?" Gao Ding couldn't help but wonder why Liu Zhang didn't meet him at the county temple, but had prepared a carriage and seemed to be meeting him somewhere else.

He pointed at the carriage and tentatively asked the young man in green: "I dare to ask you, I don't know where you are going."

Hearing this, the young official in green looked cheerful, and answered Gao Ding's doubts with a smile: "Your Majesty is currently playing in a floating boat in Qiongchi, and is not in the county temple. I need Gaojun to come to Qiongchi to see you."

"Thank you for informing me, but I don't know your name." Gao Ding smiled back and asked the green-robed official's name at the same time.
