Chapter 57 Detour to Chanzhou

Xu Xian has heard about cannibalism more than once. For example, Huang Chao's men "slayed the living creatures for a day and night" in Chang'an, and the cannibal demon Qin Zongquan even went out of his way to eat people in Henan. The most recent large-scale cannibalism incident occurred in

When Guo Weixi conquered the rebellion.

These soldiers are cruel and easy to kill. Xu Xian doesn't find it strange at all that they cannibalize people when they are extremely hungry, but it is shocking that ordinary people cannibalize too.

Each of them looked so simple and honest. When Murong Yanchao's head fell off, they covered their eyes in horror.

But at the next moment, they were able to find knives and cut off the meat from Murong Yanchao's body in front of Xu Xian. They didn't need to burn or cook it. They even stuffed it into their mouths and swallowed it raw without even adding salt.

They were grinning while chewing, and their eyes were filled with the joy of revenge. Xu Xian could probably understand how much they hated Murong Yanchao. He understood, but he still couldn't stop feeling disgusted.

"Ugh!" Xu Xian has vomited several times and hasn't eaten anything for a whole day.

Zhao Kuangyin patted Xu Xian on the back, "But there is no such big reaction if you eat a person. The people of Bianliang who heard about Du Chongwei's death also divided him and ate him. If I am in Ding, I can take a bite to satisfy my hatred."

Xu Xian turned around and knocked off Zhao Kuangyin's arm, pointed at his nose and said, "You have eaten human flesh too!"

"Oh, I didn't eat. I was not in Bianliang at the time, but in the two or three years I was wandering around, I encountered a lot of cannibalism..."

"If you talk about cannibalism, I will give you a thumbs up!"

Wu Liang trotted over, "Everything is ready, just waiting for your order."

Xu Xian turned around and saw six or seven piles of dry firewood placed in the open space over there. On each pile of dry firewood was a worn-out door panel, and lying on it was the red scarf who died in the battle.

Soldiers of the capital.

They were all young, and some of them still had immature looks on their faces. They were still naughty and mischievous in later generations when they were sixteen or seventeen years old, but they were already killed in battle. Xu Xian couldn't bear to bury their bodies scrawled in a foreign land, so he had to bury them in a foreign land.

They were cremated and brought back to Bianliang.

Xu Xian walked slowly to the firewood pile and sorted out their remains one by one. After removing the armor, the corpses only wore a clean dark blue military uniform, with many shoes and hats. Perhaps they had never been so neatly dressed in their short lives.

Xu Xian personally led the pyre with a torch, bowed and held his hands in his hands, and shouted, "Good go, brothers!" The people behind him lined up neatly and echoed loudly, and then there was a long silence, with only the whirring sound of the flames in his ears.

.

The blazing fire gradually dissipated and turned into a red sunset on the horizon. A few crows flapped their wings and flew by, playing sad music. A few choking sounds could be vaguely heard in the crowd, but Xu Xian was not too disappointed.

Xu Xian pointed to the ceramic jar placed aside and ordered: "Put the ashes of the brothers and bring them back to Bianliang."

Luo Fubang had already carried a jar to Xu Xian, and asked with red eyes: "Du Tou, will this happen if I die in battle one day?"

Everyone wants to be treated with kindness, especially after death. In troubled times, too many people are hastily buried in the ground to be used as fertilizer, not to mention those whose corpses are exposed in the wilderness to be eaten by wild beasts. Compared with such a simple ritual,

It’s already too grand.

"Let me slap you three times before I answer you!"

"Why do you want to hit me..."

Bang bang bang, before he could finish speaking, Xu Xian's hand had already slapped him three times on the face quickly, "You are greedy for success and refuse to obey orders. This matter will not be settled like this. We will wait until you get back."

I will take care of you again in Bianliang."

"Oh!" Luo Fubang responded, hugging the clay pot and leaving.

"Come back!" Xu Xian stopped him and said, "If you die in battle one day, you will be treated the same as them."

Luo Fubang turned around and opened his mouth regardless of his red and swollen cheeks...

Guo Wei entered Yanzhou City, but did not let the army enter the city. He probably did not want the unfortunate Yanzhou people to encounter any bad luck again. After beheading Murong Yanchao in public, he posted a notice to appease the people and exempted Yanzhou from agricultural taxes for three years.

Murong Yanchao saved a large amount of grain, grass, and money for the rebellion, and he also benefited from Guo Wei, keeping part of the grain as military rations, and giving the rest to the people.

As for the large amount of money in the official treasury, after it was looted by the Taining army, there was still a lot of gold and silver left. It was really weird. After looking at it with a knowledgeable person, I realized that it was medicinal gold and silver from the hands of warlocks.

Murong Yanchao used these medicinal gold, medicinal silver and crudely made copper coins mixed with a large amount of lead to pay wages to the generals and soldiers of the Taining Army. No wonder the horse commander turned against him so happily. It is estimated that everyone in the Taining Army hated him to death.

Murong Yan surpassed him. If it weren't for the many elite soldiers in the backyard, he would have been hacked to death in bed. With such a vision and ambition, he still wants to be an emperor. It is really a daydream.

A lot of imperial uniforms were also found in Murong Yanchao's house. What was shocking was that Guo Wei actually said that the clothes fit him perfectly, so he bought them all, saying he was frugal. Xu Xian also got one, as if he was offering a treasure to a Muggle.

When it was given to him, Xu Xian almost peed his pants and quickly asked him to take it out and burn it.

But never heard of it. He wore it and showed off blatantly, and even bumped heads with Guo Wei. What’s more unfortunate is that the two of them still have the same style. The consequences of matching clothes are very serious, and the consequences of matching clothes with the emperor are even more serious, Guo Wei

It's not like he's going to be serious with an idiot. If he really kills a Muggle, a beating is inevitable.

Old Mutou peeled off the Muggle's robe, whipped him hard with a whip, and asked him where it came from. The Muggle rolling on the ground pointed at Xu Xian, "It was Dutou who asked me to take it and burn it."

At that moment, Xu Xian's head was confused. He couldn't explain clearly even though his body was covered with mouths. Fortunately, the Muggle brain didn't have any trouble that day. His head and mouth were connected, and he explained the whole story clearly intermittently.

Otherwise Xu Xian will be dead.

Although Xu Xian was innocent, Guo Wei's lax command erased his first achievement of opening the city gate to capture the rebel general. While others were promoted and made rich because of this battle, he was still just a small leader.

It was originally rumored by Murong Yanchao to abolish the Taining Army. Unexpectedly, Guo Wei actually abolished the Taining Army and recruited its elite to supplement the Forbidden Army. Only a bunch of old, weak and sick remnants were left for the new defense envoy.

The descendants of Yan Hui were selected as governors of Yanzhou.

After doing this, it was already July. Guo Wei could not leave the capital for too long and was preparing to return to the court. Zhao Kuangyin heard the news and quickly asked to see his Majesty, saying that he would return to Chanzhou to resume his duties.
