He watched as more and more tiger soldiers gathered behind Chen Kun, with ferocious expressions on their faces that he wanted to eat them alive.

He once went to Liang Jing as Privy Council, and the faces of these people were more or less familiar to him. It can be seen that the Huben selected by Chen Kun to attack the city were all former soldiers of the Liang army who had a deep hatred for him, so they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives in the city.

They kept chasing him all the way, so he never had a chance to escape from the east city gate and the north city gate.

However, after such an elite group entered the city, more than half of them fell in a pool of blood forever, but the remaining tiger soldiers still killed the elite Yajun soldiers around Liang Shixiong with fear and chills.

Liang Shixiong looked up at the city wall behind him. Two groups of Liang Jun generals quickly marched from the west along the north city wall, and from the south along the east wall to march north, crushing the small-scale defeated troops on the city wall who had nowhere to escape.

We are launching an attack on the last tower on the northeast corner of the city wall.

Liang Shixiong looked behind him again. He was too confident and did not move hundreds of women and children of the Liang family out in advance before the Yuhe River was blocked. He watched them trembling under the protection of the Ya army.

Liang Shixiong knew that he was at the end of his rope today, and shouted: "Chen Kun, I might as well use this mortal body to fulfill your name today, but the Liang family's women and children are all suffering from me, so I guess you don't dare to

Disobeying the strict order of the leader of the Liang Kingdom not to kill prisoners and surrender..."

After Liang Shixiong said this, he took out the last sword from his waist, which was decorated with practical uses. He placed it across his neck and pulled it diagonally to the back, and a line of blood spurted out.

"If you shoot the enemy chieftain with a crossbow, you will not be spared!" Chen Kun ordered ferociously with his eyes red.

The strings collapsed like thunder, and the crossbow arrows were like swarms of locusts, densely covering the corners of the city wall.

The sound of arrows drilling through flesh and blood and being fired one after another echoed in the corners of Xingyang City, as if the sound of heaven and earth overriding the screams of women and children was clearer - more than a hundred Wei Boya soldiers had been killed, and even the soldiers were exhausted.

It was difficult to lift the sword and bow in his hand. Chen Kun did not give them a chance to surrender. They fell down one after another, lying in a pool of blood. Next came the turn of the family members who had moved to Xingyang with Liang Shixiong in the past few years.

Women and children became dead souls under the arrows at an even faster speed.

At this moment, the last corner of Xingyang City was completely soaked in blood.

At this time, the generals on the city wall also captured the last tower, and cheers shook the sky and the earth from up and down the city wall.

Chen Kun, however, seemed to have lost his strength, sitting down in the corner of the city wall, guarding a pile of dead enemy corpses. A girl's corpse rolled over, with the fear of death still on her young face.

Chen Kun took off his helmet and put it aside on the blood-stained mud, holding his war spear across his knees, like an old monk in meditation.

Zhao Wuji rode over, looked at the dead bodies on the ground, and got off his horse.

Chen Kun took off the tiger talisman and seal from his waist and said: "These women and children were shot and killed by me in violation of your Majesty's strict order. I have no shame to see you. I also ask Commander Zhao to return this tiger talisman and seal to you on your behalf."

, but if there is any punishment, Chen Kun will bear it with all his strength, and the other generals will have no fault."

"Help General Chen return to the barracks to bandage his wounds." Zhao Wuji motioned to the guards around Chen Kun to send him to recuperate first.

Except for the Minfu Xiangyong who assisted in the siege, the elites of various tribes rushed to capture Xingyang before the Yu River froze. No more than 10,000 people died in the battle. It can be said that the generals were red-eyed in the end.

When the supervising team enters the city, they will probably not even keep the last two thousand prisoners, and they will kill them all.

In the eyes of Chen Kun and other old generals of the Liang Army, Liang Shixiong was the primary culprit of the sudden change in Heshuo. They believed that if Liang Shixiong had not been instigating the plot behind the scenes, Zhu Rang would have neither the courage nor the ability to contact the Mongol people to rebel.

It was also the hatred that had accumulated in his chest for many years. In the end, Chen Kun did not even leave any women or children alive in the Liang family.

Zhao Wuji can understand the hatred in Chen Kun's heart, but he will not decide how to deal with it without authorization. His most important thing now is to clean up the mess after the victory.

Before the attack on the city, the defenders had 20,000 elite Weibo soldiers. In the end, only more than 2,000 soldiers were captured, and the remaining nearly 18,000 soldiers were all killed. Among the civilian households in the city, the elite who were forced to participate in the defense of the city and died, and in the sea of ​​​​fire in the city,

As many as 20,000 civilians were buried.

"..."

In order to give Zhao Wuji, Li Xiu, Chen Kun and Han Donghu the greatest command power and room to exert themselves, when the war in Xingyang was at its fiercest, Han Qian resisted the urge to go to Hulao Pass to supervise the battle and stayed in Luoyang from beginning to end.

The news of the great victory in Xingyang was also delivered to Shangyang Garden by fast cavalry one day later.

Han Daoming, Zhu Juezhong, Gu Qian, Feng Liao, Gao Shao, Jing Hao, Han Yuanqi, Chen Youjian, Zhou Daoyuan and other ministers and generals were sitting on both sides of the hall.

Xingyang won a great victory, but Chen Kun and more than two hundred generals brutally shot and killed more than a hundred women and children in the Liang Mansion, which was also put on Han Qian's desk.

As long as a soldier and horse can strictly observe military discipline and practice diligently, their combat effectiveness will not be bad. After a few more fierce battles, it is possible to temper them into an elite soldier in a hundred battles. However, an elite soldier and horse can be corroded and destroyed from the inside.

It's enough to simply follow the law but not be strict, and be lax in discipline.

In addition to the previous edicts strictly prohibiting the killing of prisoners, torture of prisoners, and the killing of women and children, before the attack and defense of Xingyang, Han Qian also officially promulgated a national edict to abolish the punishment of clan killings, the punishment of sitting and waiting, and the abolition of other limited death sentences such as hanging, poisoning, and killing with a stick.

torture.

Chen Kun, as a person at the level of the Zhendu Commander-in-Chief, shot and killed Liang Shixiong's entire family of women and children in full public view. Chen Youjian, who replaced Zhu Juezhong and entered the Supervisory Office as the right governor, did not dare to protect Chen Kun. He took advantage of today's court meeting to attack Chen Kun.

Kun and others' decision was submitted to Han Qian's court case.

Han Qian looked at the decision of the Supervisory Office, sighed lightly, picked up a pen and dipped ink, and wrote the approval directly on the memorial letter from the Supervisory Office, saying:

"Zhao Wuji led his troops back to Chenzhou and served as the envoy of Yingxi. He removed Chen Kun from the Hulao Pass capital control and the post of capital commander and envoy. He abolished the Hulao Pass camp and set up another Xingyang camp to control Changge, Xinzheng, Mi County, and Hulao.

Guan all the troops and horses, Han Donghu was appointed as the capital commander, and Xingyang was appointed as the envoy. Since Chen Kun has no face to see me, Yichuan County lacks a boss, let him take office directly. In addition, all the generals who participated in shooting women and children,

He was sent back to the local area, and his achievements in the attack on Xingyang were not mentioned. He was relocated to the local area as appropriate and no longer used..."

Chen Kun, who used to be one of the commander-generals of the Nine Major Towns, was now directly demoted to the rank of Lord Bo of the Nine-Rank County. The other generals who participated in the shooting of the women and children of the Liang Mansion were also decommissioned.

Even though Han Qian asked the local government to take them in and properly resettle them, Han Qian's approval of "no more reuse" directly blocked their future career in military and political affairs.

Everyone was silent. Han Yuanqi, Gu Qian, and Jing Hao were all inconvenient to plead for Chen Kun. The punishment proposed by the Supervisory Office was not much lighter than this, and Chen Youjian was responsible for proposing it.

"The casualties during the siege were too heavy. In the end, all the soldiers were killed in a rage. General Zuo Wei was also impulsive. And considering Liang Shixiong's crime of treason, according to precedent, killing the nine tribes was not enough to equalize the hatred of the generals." Others.

Even though it was inconvenient to plead for Chen Kun, Feng Liao stepped forward and said.

Han Qian ignored Feng Liao's words and directly put the approved memorial aside. Then he told Gu Qian, Zhu Juezhong and others: "Brother Zhu Yu does not want to be buried in a big way. The coffin is still under the ground.

Xi Temple. I have seen the magnificent scenery of Wolong Ridge in Yichuan. I want to come under Brother Zhu Yu's Nine Springs. I also hope to see the prosperous times when boats on the two rivers of Yiluo were like trees. I intend to build a mausoleum in Wolong Ridge to bury Brother Zhu Yu.

Let’s ask Chen Kun to take care of the errands as well.”
