Another stream of saliva dripped from the corner of Sima Dezong's mouth, and he suddenly made a few babbling sounds.

Sima Dewen nodded and said: "Your Majesty has decreed that no one from the Huan clan, old or young, will be pardoned. All the Huan clan in the city, from Huan Sheng on down, will be executed in Jiangling Market, and their heads will be hung in Nan."

The door is open to the public, and from now on, the world will be amnesty, Jiangling City will have a three-day carnival, and Jingzhou will be exempted from taxes for one year!"

A uniform cry resounded from the court hall again: "My emperor's kindness is deeply engraved in the hearts of the fathers of Jingzhou!"

Huan Sheng's cry gradually faded away: "I am King Yuzhang, you can't kill me, I, I don't want to die!"

Mao Xiuzhi slowly closed his eyes and sighed.

Sima Dewen's eyes fell on Mao Xiuzhi and Feng Qian: "Captain Mao, Governor Feng, you have worked hard. Your Majesty and I already know your contribution. After returning to Jiankang, you will be rewarded for this victory."

Of all the meritorious officers and soldiers of Huan Chu's conspiracy, you will definitely be ranked at the top. You worked hard in yesterday's battle, so go down and have a good rest."

Mao Xiuzhi and Feng Qian looked at each other, bowed and were about to leave. Feng Qian turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he couldn't help but said something, so he turned around and saluted: "I have something to do with your Majesty and the King."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Sima Dewen's face, but he still said, "Is there anything else wrong with Governor Feng? But it doesn't matter."

Feng Qian said seriously: "Since I entered the city this time, I have found that the troops in Jiangling City are really too empty. In such a big city, there are hardly many defenders. On the city wall, there is only one sergeant guarding more than ten steps away. Now Huan

Although Xuan was executed, Huan Xuan has been operating in Jingzhou for many years. There are probably many of his gang members in Jiangling City alone. If he takes the opportunity to attack, I am afraid that both your majesty and the king will be in danger. In addition, Huan Zhen of Xiling, Wang Zhihui of Baling,

The remnants of the Huan clan, including Bian Fanzhi, Huan Qian, Huan Wei and others who are missing, are still on the run, or there are still troops separatist to one side. Your Majesty hastily ordered the Western Expeditionary Army under General Liu Yi to come to Jiangling. As soon as the army arrives,

Not only will His Majesty be safe, but the people of Jingzhou will also be completely reassured."

Sima Dewen said coldly: "This is a matter for public discussion among the courtiers. You two, although you are the heroes who killed Huan Xuan, your rank is not suitable to discuss such military and national affairs now. Governor Feng, you

I already know the proposal. Your loyalty is very good, but you need to clarify your status and make remarks that suit your status. Can you understand what I said?"

Feng Qian's face turned red. Sima Dewen was openly humiliating him. He gritted his teeth and gave a military salute, then turned around and strode away without looking back. Mao Xiuzhi followed suit.

go.

Wang Kangchan said bitterly: "These two soldiers are so arrogant about their merits that they dare to be rude in front of His Majesty. It is so infuriating. Please Your Majesty and the King punish them severely. This trend must not increase!"

"

Sima Dewen waved his hand: "Forget it, he only mentioned it out of good intentions. However, Jiangling City is so big now, and there are only more than a thousand sergeants. It is indeed insufficient in force. Wang Biejia, the edict you gave Liu Guanjun,

Hasn’t it been delivered yet?”

A hint of helplessness flashed across Wang Kangchan's face: "I sent it out two days ago, but I haven't seen a reply yet. I don't know what Liu Guanjun thinks. Tan Ma also reported back, and they have been staying in the Zhengrongzhou area.

It means moving forward.”

Sima Dewen curled up his lips and said, "Then, please don't bother me to prepare another edict, saying that Huan Xuan has been crowned, Lieutenant General Jiangling will hold a grand entrance ceremony and celebration meeting, and your majesty will reward the meritorious soldiers in this battle. Please

He comes quickly."

Wang Kangchan's face showed joy: "I will take care of it immediately."

Sima Dezong suddenly shouted a few more times, and Sima Dewen smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is a little hungry. Today's court meeting will end here. General Wang, the execution of Huan Sheng and others will fall on you.

Yes, remember, you must not make any mistakes!"

Wang Tengzhi quickly performed a military salute: "I have the order!"

Several chamberlains lifted Sima Dezong's dragon bed and turned it back. Sima Dewen also stretched his waist and followed behind. As he walked, he murmured: "Liu Yi, what are you thinking about?"

.If you don’t show your loyalty at this time, how can you fight with Liu Yu?”

Zhengrongzhou, the camp of the Western Expeditionary Army.

With a smile on his face, Liu Yi held an edict in his hand and said to the generals and commanders in the tent: "Everyone, this is great news. The Mao family in Yizhou is still loyal to the Jin Dynasty. They intercepted and killed those who were fleeing from Jiangling on the way.

The heads of Huan Xuan, together with the heads of Huan Shikang and Yu Yizhi, as well as Huan Xuan's youngest son Huan Sheng, the pseudo-Chu official minister Cao Jingzhi and hundreds of other comrades, are now hanging at the gate of Jiangling City. This time

We have eliminated Huan Chu without us taking action, so we are done!"

There were cheers in the tent, and there was still a trace of unwillingness on He Wuji's face: "It's a pity that the last blow to kill Huan Xuan was made possible by Mao Xiuzhi, and Feng Qian, who was killed all those years ago.

It was a blacksmith in our Beifu Army who actually killed Huan Xuan and became famous all over the world. We have been here for so long and fought bloody battles, but in the end we made wedding clothes for others."

Liu Daogui smiled and said: "Brother Wuji, even if we fight Huanxuan, you may not be able to take off Huanxuan's head yourself. This is actually quite good. We won the battle and the Mao brothers obtained Huanxuan."

Everyone has contributed and contributed. In addition, the Wang Tengzhi who protected His Majesty in Jiangling City was also sent by Lu Zongzhi, the governor of Yongzhou. This means that they also have merit and the feudal towns in various places can also be appeased.

"

Wei Yongzhi rolled his lips habitually: "However, this may not be a good thing. If these weak vassals have contributed, there is no reason to transfer them or abolish them. Originally, according to our idea, by eliminating Huan Xuan, we can also

If we take over places like Yizhou, Yongzhou, Guangzhou, and Jiaozhou and hand them over to our Beifu brothers, then we can truly unify and command the world since the Jin Dynasty moved south."

Liu Daogui said sternly: "Destroy Huanxuan and capture the big states of Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Jiangzhou, and Jingzhou. We have almost taken over all the core areas of the world. The remaining outlying states and counties must also be considered.

Others will occupy some of it, otherwise it will all be our Beifu Army's territory, and others will be jealous. Brother Xile, the top priority is to march to Jiangling as soon as possible according to the edict, and accept your majesty's reward."

Liu Yi smiled and waved his hand: "No, the top priority now is to let our brothers from the Beifu Army get the rewards they deserve. We have to abide by the rules and traditions of the Old Beifu. Do you think you agree?
