Upon hearing this, the captured soldiers of Qi and Zhou immediately reacted and quickly begged for mercy.
But Zhao Kang had already made his decision and how could he change it? He immediately dismounted and kicked a man into the pit, shouting "Bury!"
Brother Diao immediately subconsciously grabbed someone and threw him into the pit.
These prisoners had their hands tied with ropes and had no power to resist.
Seeing Zhao Kang, Brother Diao and others throwing the soldiers into the pit one by one, Zhou Long reacted, "The White Tiger Army Xuanwu Army obeys the order!"
The surrounding Qianguo soldiers cheered up one after another.
Zhou Long shouted, "Execute the military order!"
He also joined the procession of burying people.
Yu Chenggong also understood now.
Why did Zhao Kang want to single out Brother Diao and others before? Because what Zhao Kang did at this time was considered by those Confucianists to be harmful to the harmony of heaven and contrary to the laws of nature!
There is rarely any act of killing or surrendering between countries, unless there is some deep hatred.
Once word of this gets out, scholars all over the world will criticize him verbally and writingly.
Even if he is Zhao Kang, he has won the first place in the Four Kingdoms Literary Society and is known as the world's top literary person.
He will still be criticized by scholars!
Those books where scholars kill people with their pens
Things are more powerful than a warrior's sword!
And those who follow Zhao Kang to do this will also be punished by them.
So Zhao Kang only named the people he trusted most, Brother Diao and others, and at the same time he was also protecting people like him, Duke Cheng.
I, Zhao Kang, will avenge Jing Guo for you!
Gao Yuan rushed forward, grabbed a soldier and threw it into the pit. He lowered his head and burst into tears.
He looked at Zhao Kang from time to time, obviously he had figured it out just like Yu Chenggong.
Hua Fengyuan smiled and said, "The Qian Kingdom has killed nearly 100,000 people in our battle, and now we have to bear the infamy! I won't agree to this! Shenwu Army, execute Commander Zhao's military order!"
In one day, nearly 70,000 surrendered troops were buried alive, making it impossible for them to even escape.
Many soldiers looked pale. After all, not everyone could accept this kind of thing.
Only Zhao Kang looked as usual, his heart was very calm, and he was determined to defeat all enemies for Her Majesty the Empress in the future.
This is nothing.
"See King Zhao!"
Yu Chenggong was the first to clasp his fists and knelt down, followed by Gao Yuan, Hua Fengyuan, and all the Jingguo soldiers who had avenged their great revenge, knelt down.
King Zhao affirmed him every time.
Zhao Kang smiled and rode back to the city without saying anything.
Subsequent historical records.
This day is the day when Rentu Zhao Kang was born.
Compared to his subsequent atrocities, these nearly 70,000 dead souls are just a drop in the ocean.
Xuzhou.
On top of Cangshan Mountain.
The rocks were stained with blood and the surrounding trees were crushed. This was a scene caused by the fighting between warriors.
One hand gently touched the blood-stained stone. She closed her eyes as if she was feeling something.
What.
It seems that I can see the scene of two almost beastly people fighting for life and death here that day.
There was another person next to her holding paper money and incense candles. It was really hard for him to find these things in Xuzhou, which is now flooded.
"Is this your custom?"
Wanyanjin opened her eyes and looked at the incense candle paper money handed over by the slave.
Nu nodded sadly, and the next moment Wanyanjin snatched the wax paper money and threw it out. ??
She turned around and no longer looked at the Fenyang water that reached the foot of the mountain and sank the heroes of the troubled times, and left step by step.
"In our Kingdom of Jin, the best sacrifice is the head of the enemy! One day, I, Wan Yanjin, will kill the four northern kingdoms and Zhao Kang! I will bury him!"
Nu looked at the woman's back, listened to her firm words, and followed her silently. What Xiao Feiyu said before sounded in his mind.
"If I still can't get what I want this time, she may be able to avenge me in the future."
…
In the wilderness.
A group of remnants of defeated generals, with their heads hanging down, looked like eggplants beaten by frost. They were Zhou soldiers who had escaped from Huajing City, and among them were many bewildered Qi soldiers.
Deputy General Yuan walked over with his head hanging down and weakly called out, "Commander."
This time it was completely over. An army of 300,000 people went out to fight, but now there are only a pitiful 50,000 people, and some of them are from the Qi army.
This time when I return to my country, if I were the emperor, I would have to kill people too!
Therefore, Deputy General Yuan was very panicked now. He felt that his life was definitely in danger.
Compared to him, Wu Xiong seemed very calm, "If you lose, you lose. There is no shame in losing to him, Zhao Kang."
Vice General Yuan subconsciously said, "What should we do next?"
"The entire army will return home and report the news of the defeat truthfully."
Lieutenant General Yuan: “Isn’t that a sure death?”
I originally thought the commander was looking for a scapegoat.
Wu Xiong said calmly, "You can't die."
He glanced at the remnants of the defeated generals behind him. The battles between the various countries were really miserable this time. Zhou and Qi only had so few troops.
The combined total of Jingguo and Qianguo was probably less than 200,000. Under such circumstances, Wu Xiong was sure that Li Muyi would not kill him.
Because they lost so miserably, someone needs to defend themselves against the subsequent revenge of Qian Guo and Jing Guo.
And he, Wu Xiong, is already one of the few current generals in the Zhou Kingdom who can take advantage of him.
Wu Xiong is still useful, so he can still live, so he is very relaxed now.
Having truly experienced how powerful Zhao Kang's cannon is, Wu Xiong has completely understood it.
With that kind of weapon, no one can be Zhao Kang's opponent!
If so? Maybe that day will come soon.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Wu Xiong thought to himself.
Jinlin Pass.
Yuan Mingqing, the reserve army general stationed here, looked respectfully at the woman in front of him.
The other party calls herself the wife of the Imperial Master.
In the room, Wu Tianhu, who had lost one of his hands, was feeling depressed, and Wu Guanhai was taking good care of him.
Li Long walked in, looked at Wu Tianhu and sighed.
Previously, he led 10,000 troops to attract the enemy's attention. After the city was broken, the enemy began to encircle and suppress him.
It lasted five days, if Wu Tianhu hadn't come out in the end and used his tyrannical strength to kill the enemy general.
I'm afraid his 10,000 people will have to answer, but the price is that Wu Tianhu was trapped in a tight siege and was seriously injured. In the end, he fought to the death to drive back the enemy troops, so that they did not dare to pursue them anymore.
"Your Highness, Mr. Ye, I plan to go back to Jingguo to investigate the situation. Anyway, the Imperial Master is still there."
