Hearing this, Xiao Yan closed his eyes for a while, sighed heavily, and then opened his eyes. "I don't know how Beichen will deal with it. Let me tell you a story about our Southern Xiao Taizu!
At that time, the people of the Yong Dynasty were in dire straits and corrupt officials were rampant, which led to constant peasant uprisings. Our Taizu saw the right opportunity and started an uprising in Xunyang. Together with the then Xunyang County Magistrate and County Lieutenant, he established the Southern Xiao Kingdom. Everyone should know this. And everyone should also know that my Taizu was able to secure the throne and defeat other Qianlong who were in trouble, thanks to a great talent. Yes, that person was the King of Han who was known as "the more troops, the better". Of course, everyone also knows the ending of the King of Han. He was directly killed by his great-grandmother in the harem courtyard. I don’t want to say more about him. What I want to say is the generals under King Han’s throne. The eight generals of Han Wang are all brave and good at fighting, and have made great contributions to our Nanxiao. But does everyone know their fate? " At this time, the female apprentice named Xiao Liu suddenly spoke up. "After the death of King Han, all eight generals will be destroyed!"
Every word in his voice revealed unspeakable sadness. Hearing this, Xiao Yan also sighed, "That's right! Not long after the death of King Han, the eight generals under him were relieved of their positions. Not long after that, they were involved in a rebellion case and all of them were arrested. Kill!" As soon as these words came out, Zhou Chen's body shook wildly. In fact, he knew all this history, and had even studied it carefully, and felt sorry for the King of Han. But now it seems that this is his ending, and the ending of his disciples. Yes, when the King of Han commanded the world's troops and horses, he was so unstoppable that even Nan Xiao Taizu sometimes dared to challenge him. In the end, it turned out that the whole family was not dead?
And he was even worse than the King of Han. Eight hundred thousand troops, this is easy to say, but in fact it is almost all of their troops in Beichen. How could the royal family tolerate such power and let him get away with it? After he was executed, how could the other side allow his disciples to continue to lead? There is no need to guess this result, it is almost inevitable!
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen suddenly panicked. Could it be said that in order to save those ministers, these disciples should be allowed to die?
This seems very unreasonable, right?
But Zhou Chen can't help it, now the facts are like this! What's more, he also hoped to use his death to awaken the emperor and awaken the benevolence and righteousness in the emperor's heart. Seeing his firm eyes, his disciples didn't say anything, it was just about life and death. As early as the moment they were taken in by their master, they had already surrendered all their wealth and lives to the master's injury. Now that I can die with my master, I have fulfilled my wish. The only concern is... "What about the troops? Where are the people? How are they?" In fact, the answers to these questions are recorded in history books, but they still want to ask, and want to know if there is any hidden secret in it. Xiao Yan sighed and said: "Not long after the eight generals were killed, all officials in the army, large and small, were investigated. It was reported that more than 300 people were involved in the rebellion, and their entire families were beheaded.
More than a thousand other officials, large and small, were also demoted. From then on, the army of King Han was completely controlled by my Taizu. As for the people? According to my royal secret history, in the second year after King Han's death, the tax revenue in King Han's territory increased by more than 10%. In terms of appointment and dismissal of court officials, almost all those who came from Han had no chance of getting ahead. It was not until several decades later that Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne that Han was pardoned. " Zhou Chen was inexplicably relieved when he heard that the people did not suffer much casualties. It's just that taxes have increased and there is no future. It is really difficult, but I finally saved my life, which can be considered a blessing among misfortunes. More importantly, he believed that under his persuasion, the current emperor would definitely not be as cruel as that Nan Xiao Taizu. After all, Taizu Taizu of Nanxiao was already old at that time, and his three views had been settled. His little emperor of Beichen still had the foundation of education. In short, Zhou Chen can still accept the consequences of being killed. All for the people!
In response, Qingxuan shook his head. "You are still too optimistic!" After sighing, he waved his hand and deduced Beichen's future and displayed it in front of several people. The initial scene was indeed in line with their expectations. There was indeed no way for Zhou Chen to survive. But contrary to everyone's expectations, the young emperor of Beichen actually hated Zhou Chen, his uncle, and directly gave him the punishment of eviscerating his bones. Everyone who watched this was filled with sadness. But there was no fear on Zhou Chen's face. It was just evisceration, he could bear it. However, the next scene made him lose his temper. The apprentice he was optimistic about jumped directly from the city and committed suicide. Died for him. Seeing this, Zhou Chen subconsciously shouted the word "Eleven", but finally closed his eyes silently. There were only two lines of tears left in the corners of his eyes. At this time, Qingxuan who was standing next to him saw that the other party didn't even have any regrets, so he nodded silently, "He is indeed a righteous person! It's just a pity..." The plot continued to unfold, but soon, Zhou Chen's expression began to collapse. I saw that all his other disciples were directly killed, and their entire family was killed. The one who was an orphan directly slaughtered the village where he first appeared. For a time, blood flowed all over the ground. The subsequent army exchange scene was even more cruel. All officers above centurion were transferred from their original positions, put aside for a period of time and then executed. And they are still being punished. Seeing this, Zhou Chen was extremely sad.
These were all heroes from Beichen, and yet they were killed like this. Looking at the hysterical emperor in the palace, he regretted it. With the opponent's relentless attitude, his 800,000-strong army may not exist for long. And sure enough, not long after, the other party actually started an undeclared war with Nan Xiao. Since the army had just been replaced, and the new officials did not know how to lead troops, his 800,000-strong army was directly wiped out and buried in a foreign land. For a moment, everyone present was confused. They knew that things might not be what they imagined, but they didn't expect that it would happen like this. The 800,000-strong army and their glory for generations were buried in this way and completely disappeared in the long river of history. They don't have to think about what will happen next. It will inevitably involve the destruction of the country and the death of the people. And sure enough, after their 800,000-strong army in the north was wiped out by the floods in the south, the four surrounding countries all sent troops to carve them up. In this way, in less than three years, Beichen was completely extinct and became a part of the long history. As for Xizhou, which Zhou Chen originally protected, the tragic situation of "white bones exposed in the wild and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles" reappeared. You know, it turns out that in Xizhou, there is no smoke for a hundred miles, and there is constant smoke for thousands of miles. In response to this, Zhou Chen could no longer bear it and cried bitterly. You must know that these are the people he wants to protect, the people he wants to save at the risk of his life. As a result, just after he died, the people were all killed. How does this make him think? How does this make him think? At this time, I saw the immortal leader in front of me asking again: "So, do you still feel that you are not worthy of the world?" Zhou Chen was panicked when he heard this. Yes, he claimed to live up to the world and take the world as his own responsibility. However, because he was willing to die, he allowed the people of Beichen to create such a catastrophe that no one in ten could survive. How can this be called worthy of the world? How can we call it serving the country and the people?
God knows how desperate and sad Zhou Chen felt when he saw his people in Xizhou dying under the enemy's butcher's knife. However, all of this was actually because of him, because he had expectations and illusions about that faint king. For a moment, Zhou Chen blamed himself with his hammer on his chest. "I should have thought of it! I should have thought of it!" Yes, as the commander-in-chief of an army, as a general who has been fighting for many years, as a young man who is familiar with history books, how could he not know the principle of "killing the donkey and eradicating the root". But he never expected that his nephew would do something so extraordinary, that he would go out of his way to retaliate against him and kill all the people in Xizhou.
"Liu Xing! Liu Xing! I shouldn't believe you! I shouldn't believe you!" Suddenly, his words turned into strong murderous intent. "Liu Xing! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
