Listening to the increasingly louder sound of war drums, Yuan Yao's blood was boiling. He suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist and was ready. When the battle started, he would rush forward. Even though he had no official status, There is no such thing as military merit, but he still has the yearning to kill the enemy on the battlefield. However, just when he pulled out his sword, he suddenly found that the soldiers around him had lowered their crossbows again. .
Yuan Yao was confused, and the clerk on the side said: "This is the war drum of the Han army."
You met one of your own, so why are you so solemn?? Yuan Yao cursed in his heart, and withdrew his sword with some embarrassment. Fortunately, everyone ignored him, and as the ship gradually approached, , Yuan Yao finally saw the situation ahead clearly. Hundreds of ships were blocking the channel ahead, and there were people holding flags and waving them in this direction.
Zhou Yu did not give an order, but the big ship changed its direction and turned to the left. A few soldiers waved orders behind them. Gradually, Yuan Yao also saw the land in front of him. It was a port where moored Many ships and soldiers stood on the shore, holding spears, motionless, waiting for Zhou Yu's arrival.
The car and ship stopped at the shore. Immediately someone anchored and someone put down planks. Zhou Yu stepped on the planks and got off the boat. Yuan Yao hurriedly followed him and got off the boat. There were seven or eight generals in front of him, wearing armor. Helmet, with a solemn look on his face, saw Zhou Yu getting off the boat and everyone bowed to him. Zhou Yu nodded in return and asked coldly: "Where's Youtu?"
"General him"
"He was killed"
The general spoke slowly, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red. He was extremely angry. He looked at the long-bearded general beside him and shouted: "Ling Tong!! What do you do for food?!", Yuan Yao was shocked. He had never seen Zhou Yu look so angry. When he heard Zhou Yu's roar, the general named Ling Tong immediately knelt on the ground with one knee, lowered his head, and said, "Please shoot me to punish him!"
He didn't mean to defend himself at all.
"You didn't come to support?!"
"It was never like this. It's just that when Jianning Changdao sent people here, I was patrolling overseas and didn't know the situation here. When I went back, I just found out about Jianning Changdao. I hurriedly brought people here, but it was already too late. Not only General Youtu, but also many officials on Jianning Changdao, none of them survived, but the rebels were hidden among the others, making it difficult to distinguish them."
Zhou Yu sighed. This was not the first time. Since the eleventh year of Yankang, indigenous rebellions have often occurred in these overseas strongholds. Whenever the Han army went out for inspection, they would besiege local officials and brutally kill them. When the Han army came back, they hid among the indigenous people and could not be identified.
"Take me to see the general's body."
Zhou Yu ignored Ling Tong, but spoke to the others, and they left. Yuan Yao looked at Ling Tong, who was still half-kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly followed him. Yuan Yao was sizing him up along the way. Looking around, it can be seen that the big man has put a lot of thought into this place. The size of the port is close to that of Yangzhou Port, and most of it is farmland, but now it seems to have been maliciously burned down, and everywhere ash.
The cultivated land here is denser than that in Yangzhou. Almost as far as the eye can see, everything that comes into view is cultivated land. It is a very large farmland. At this moment, there are actually soldiers patrolling these cultivated lands. Perhaps it is
While arresting the traitors outside, Yuan Yao thought to himself, what a pity, most of the cultivated land of this scale has been burned to ashes, even some residential houses, dark wood, dark
land.
Gradually, the air became foul-smelling, and the ground was still pitch black, which made Yuan Yao feel a little uncomfortable. It seemed that there had been a war here. Only then did Yuan Yao realize that the blackness just now was not just the ashes left by the flames, but also the ashes left by the flames.
The color of blood after coagulation, Yuan Yao felt extremely uncomfortable when he smelled this smell, and almost vomited it out.
Zhou Yu and others, however, did not show any emotion and rushed all the way.
The general on the side kept talking: "While the general was observing the terrain, they destroyed the ships, brought farm tools and attacked the county government office in Jianning Changdao, killing the county magistrate and more than 60 soldiers.
, got the weapons, and then surrounded the general. There were only more than forty people around the general. I don’t know how many people were surrounded. There were more than 500 indigenous corpses left on the ground."
"All the soldiers around the general were killed. Only a few soldiers guarding the ship escaped in two carriages and went to seek support."
Listening to his words, Yuan Yao's heart gradually became heavy.
When they arrived at the ruins of the county government office, Yuan Yao also saw the bodies lying on the ground, covered with white cloth. There were many bodies, and they were all placed in the county government office. The body placed at the front was
It obviously belonged to the general with the strange name. Zhou Yu stepped forward and pulled off the white cloth on his body. At that moment, Yuan Yao's eyes widened.
The general lost his right hand and both legs, and the most terrifying thing was that he had holes all over his body, one after another, with no intact place. Yuan Yao fell into a state of sluggishness.
Zhou Yu was the same, looking at the body, he fell silent.
"The general was so brave that he charged several times. The natives we captured said that even after his legs were cut off, he still refused to give in. He sat on the ground, brandished his sword with one hand, and killed many more rebels. The rebels
He was afraid and did not dare to get close, so he picked up the soldiers' powerful crossbows and shot General Youtu to death."
"Alas", Zhou Yu sighed. Yuan Yao could see clearly that there were tears in Zhou Yu's eyes. Yuan Yao did not speak, but just looked at the miserable general on the ground. He could imagine that a lost general
There was a picture of the general who had lost his legs and his right hand, holding a long sword, crawling and charging towards the enemy. He slowly stepped forward, picked up the white cloth, and helped the general lay it on him.
Zhou Yu stood for a long time. Suddenly, he asked coldly: "How is the situation with the traitors?"
"They abandoned their weapons and hid among the people. We only found a few injured people, and they also confessed a few people. However, the ones they confessed were all dead. We have been investigating for ten days, and only
More than 60 people suspected of participating in the rebellion were arrested.”
"How many indigenous people are there on the island?"
"There are more than 8,000 people."
"Well, there are more than 8,000 people." Zhou Yu nodded, not knowing what he was thinking. He turned around, looked at Yuan Yao, and said, "Yao'er, go to the four-eight carriages and ships just now and give orders.
The soldiers left behind will carry the food and grass here." Yuan Yao was stunned, nodded, and hurriedly left here. Only then did Zhou Yu look at the other generals.
"What is the crime for rebellion and rebellion?"
"To be punished."
"What is the crime for killing a Han general?"
"To be punished."
"Those who harbor traitors are undoubtedly traitors to the Party."
"But these eight thousand"
"What's the crime for anyone who resists an order?"
"Sincerely!!"
Zhou Yu looked at the many generals in front of him, nodded, and said: "Then I'll leave it to you." After giving orders to many generals, when everyone left, Zhou Yu sat next to You Tu's body.
When I arrived in Yangzhou, I had many disagreements with Youtu, because he had little education, spoke barbaric words, and often relied on his qualifications to look down on Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu once hated this arrogant and unreasonable barbarian, but when he saw You Tu's body and heard the tragic battle situation, he still shed tears. He sat next to the barbarian's body and whispered.
He said: "You Manzi, what you said before was right, but I was wrong. If I had listened to you a long time ago and let them feel fear in their hearts, you would not have died in battle."
"I was too immature and couldn't listen to you. I'm sorry."
"But don't worry, I will listen to your instructions during your lifetime, and I will avenge you for nine generations." Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out. At this moment, Yuan Yao
Panting, he rushed into the county government office, "Brother!! I have given the order!!" As he said that, he saw Zhou Yu sitting on the ground and walked to his side.
"Brother, where are the generals?" Yuan Yao asked with some confusion as he saw Zhou Yu sitting here alone.
"They went to enforce Han law."
"What Han law?"
"Destroy the traitors."
"Ah? I want to go too, where are they?" Yuan Yao asked enthusiastically. Zhou Yu stood up, pulled Yuan Yao, and walked out of the county office, pointing to the residential houses in the distance. Yuan Yao was overjoyed.
He hurriedly said goodbye and left. Zhou Yu didn't say anything. He just watched him draw out his long sword and left here happily. Zhou Yu was waiting here.
After just waiting for a moment, he saw Yuan Yao running back quickly. Yuan Yao was particularly flustered, with a look of horror on his face. He trembled and ran to Zhou Yu, "Brother! Brother! It's not good, those people."
They are all crazy, they kill everyone they see, no matter women, children, old or young, they are all crazy and can't stop them!!" Yuan Yao's voice was trembling and his face was pale.
He had never seen such a scene before, with corpses everywhere, the soldiers grinning ferociously, and chopped off the heads of those begging for mercy with one sword.
"I gave the order."
"Ah??Brother??But why? Thousands of people?"
"Eight thousand people."
"Brother?!" Yuan Yao was about to speak when Zhou Yu stretched out his hand, grabbed his shoulders and threw him to the ground. He pointed to the body in the distance and asked: "Go and ask them if they should
Should be killed??”
"I"
"The revenge of the ninth generation can especially be avenged! The crimes of harboring traitors and killing officials are enough to punish them with death! Since you dare to kill officials, you must be prepared to be killed. Today, I am going to make them
The people in these strongholds know the consequences of rebellion. If you still think that you are the son of General Yuan, then raise your sword to me and avenge them!"
"If you don't even have the courage to avenge them, you are not worthy of being his son!"
Yuan Yao's eyes were red, and he struggled to break free from Zhou Yu's suppression. He suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist and rushed in the direction just now.
