Chapter 301

Xiangyang is half a day away from Jiangling.

On the same day, Zhang Xiu took Hu Che'er and a few other guards with him, changed horses all the way without changing people, and rushed to Jiangling.

We set off at noon, and when we arrived at Jiangling, it was already sunset on the western mountains.

"My lord, Jiangling City is ahead," Hu Che'er said loudly, pointing to the city in the distance.

Zhang Xiu nodded, and then slapped his crotch to catch up with the wind, and the speed was a little faster.

As he approached, the tip of Zhang Xiu's nose wrinkled slightly.

There was still a little bloody smell in the air, although it had faded for a whole day, he could still smell the bloody smell.

As for the city gate, it stands to reason that as dusk approaches, the people should all return to the city to prepare for rest, but there are many people coming and going at this time.

And none of these people's faces were happy, and even the whole city was filled with depression.

"My lord," Zhao Fan quickly walked up to him.

"How's the situation in the city, people... Have you ever comforted me!" Zhang Xiu said in a solemn voice.

Before he came, Jia Xu told him, but only a few words, and he couldn't understand the situation at that time, and Jia Xu only listened to the report.

"Comfort, Zhongye has been taking people to bury the people since the morning, and has been busy until now." Zhao Fan bowed his head a little depressed.

"Take me to see!"

Immediately, Zhao Fan led the way and led Zhang Xiu straight to the east of the city. There was the burial place arranged by Wenpin for the common people. This time they will all be buried together.

It didn't take long for Zhang Xiu to arrive.

Looking at it from a distance, the sky is full of white paper, with countless plains. In an instant, it seems that the world has lost its color, and there is only compassion.

The crying was loud, and countless people's eyes were red from crying.

Some people have lost their husbands, some have lost their fathers, some have lost their sons, and countless families have been torn apart.

Hundreds of meters apart, Zhang Xiu has no face.

His eyes were bright, and he got off his horse.

"Hu'er, take me with you in plain clothes. Today, I want to see off all the unsung heroes of the great man." Zhang Xiu said with a trembling voice.

He knew that to the superior, how many people died was just a number, but to him, behind this number were countless families.

When Hu Che'er fetched it, Zhang Xiu had no expression on his face, only grief and anger.

Taking off his armor and sword, Zhang Xiu put on hemp and filial piety, and stepped forward.

One step later, he knelt down and kowtowed.

Standing up, taking two steps, he continued to kowtow.

"My lord, you." Zhao Fan's face was tangled, and he wanted to help Zhang Xiu, but was thrown away by Zhang Xiu.

Another step, another kowtow.

Zhang Xiu didn't speak, but his forehead was already red, and there was still some dust on it.

It was hundreds of meters away, according to Zhang Xiu's kowtow method, ordinary people would have to kowtow until their heads were bleeding.

Gradually, the people in the distance also noticed Zhang Xiu, and more and more people looked towards this side, their eyes showed suspicion and astonishment.

But more, it is grief.

They shouted in their hearts, they really want their children, their fathers, and their husbands to see them, and the prime minister has come to see them.

Everyone, gather on both sides.

Wen Pin looked at Zhang Xiu who was approaching step by step, frowned slightly, in awe.With such a master, it is no wonder that the people are willing to die for him.

Even if he, he would die without regrets.

For 42 meters, Zhang Xiu kowtowed [-] times, his forehead was already stained with blood, a little blood mixed with soil, some blackened, flowing through his eye sockets.

Everyone watching this scene was worried.

This scene reassures everyone and makes everyone proud of their lost relatives. Even after a hundred years, their relatives are still heroes.

Another 43 meters, Zhang Xiu kowtowed [-] times.

Blood streaked across his entire cheek, looking a bit hideous.Because of kowtowing again and again, Zhang Xiu was also a little dizzy.

Gritting his teeth, he continued to kowtow.

He is still alive, but these people are dead. In a sense, they died because of him.

No matter what, he will do what he has to do.

It was another hundred meters, and every time Zhang Xiu took a step, his body shook a little.

It wasn't that he was weak, but that the repeated kowtowing caused insufficient blood supply to his brain.

At this time, Zhang Xiu was only more than 100 meters away from them, but every step Zhang Xiu took was not very fast, and even a little strenuous.

"My lord," Wenpin said with concern, "My lord, the common people know what you want. Now that Yuan Shao is going south, your health is very important."

Zhang Xiu ignored him, resolutely, still kowtowed.

"My lord, the common people won't say anything after you've done this, take care of yourself!" Wenpin said again.

Zhang Xiu turned his eyes and glared, looked at Wen Pin and scolded: "Today, there is no lord, no prime minister, and no Zhang Xiu for the common people to see."

"They died for me, for Jingzhou. I just want them to know that I, Zhang Xiu, will do my best to make them feel at ease and see them off."

"From today onwards, I will replace them, become them, become thousands of them, take care of their parents, take care of their wives and children."

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking sonorously, he continued to kowtow step by step. Even though his head fainted, he still bit the tip of his tongue and persisted.

As for his words, Wen Pin was stunned on the spot.He smiled, looked at Zhang Xiu's not-so-majestic back, and murmured softly:

"My lord, my lord, in this life, Wenpin will shed blood on the battlefield for you, expand the territory, and even die nine times without regret."

He showed a firm look, and he admitted that he was far from Zhang Xiu's pattern.

As for the surrounding people, hearing those sonorous and forceful words, their hearts trembled, although their husbands, children, and fathers were dead.

But they have no regrets,
If they do it again, they will do the same.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu's footsteps were a bit vain, and they were only more than 20 meters away, an old man with white hair came out and said with concern:
"Prime Minister, although my son died, he sacrificed his life for the country and died defending his country. He died well. Although the old man is heartbroken, he will not stop him if he comes back again."

"And the prime minister's health is important. They have spirits in the sky, and they will definitely remember the prime minister's kindness, and will bless the big man and bless the prime minister to defeat the enemy as soon as possible."

"Prime Minister, don't kneel."

"Prime Minister!" Everyone lowered their heads and shouted in unison.

Zhang Xiu paused, a smile appeared on his blood-soaked face, and he said softly, "It's okay, they are strong and strong, I can only kowtow to see them, otherwise there will be no face."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu insisted.

All the generals followed after a few steps.

once again
His body is getting more and more wobbly.

Zhang Xiu not only gave an explanation to their relatives, but also an explanation to himself, because these people died for him.

After a long time, Zhang Xiu approached the tomb.

He straightened his spine, bowed and bowed, and at the same time he shouted: "I am late, you wait for me, after the world is settled and the people are benefited, when I return to Jiuquan, I will find you to have fun with wine."

"But before that, I will take good care of your wives, children, and children. As long as Zhang Xiu eats everything I eat, I will never let them go hungry."

Zhang Xiu's voice was sonorous and powerful, shaking the world.

Everyone heard it clearly, and some were moved to tears.

"Wenpin, I want you to build a tomb of heroes here, so that Jiangling and Jingzhou's descendants will remember them and make them immortal."

Zhang Xiu turned around and shouted solemnly.

"No! The general will send someone to do it." Wen Pin responded, but when he raised his head, Zhang Xiuzheng fell down slowly.

It's not that he pretended, he was really dizzy.

As for his ears, all kinds of calling voices gradually became illusory.

When I woke up, it was already late at night.

Zhang Xiu struggled to open his eyes, watching the flickering candles in the room, he frowned slightly, as for his bedside, Zhang Ning had already fallen asleep on his stomach at some point.

Touching the white cloth wrapped around her forehead, Zhang Xiu shook her head and smiled, she was really a little bit brave sometimes.

Obviously, he only needs to walk over and have a bit of voice and emotion, but he forced himself to be like this, but if he does it again, he might still be like this.

"Prime Minister, you're awake." Zhang Ning woke up leisurely, looked at Zhang Xiu with joy in her beautiful eyes, and hurriedly said with concern.

She was there before, and seeing Zhang Xiu's persistence, she finally understood why this kind of person could make the people of Jiangling fight to the death for him.

If her father could be like Zhang Xiu back then, he might have destroyed the big man long ago.

The original intention of the Yellow Turbans was good, but without restraint, they released more natures, which eventually led to their mixed good and bad, and their failure was inevitable.

"I'll get you hot porridge." Zhang Ning said hastily.

"No, I'm not hungry." Zhang Xiu grabbed Zhang Ning, who couldn't eat. "What about General Wen and the others?"

"General Wenpin and the others went back in the middle of the night, and let me take care of the prime minister here." Zhang Ning explained with his heart beating faster, bowing his head.

"Hehe, I have nothing to look after, go down and rest!" Zhang Xiu smiled helplessly, and whispered softly.

"No, I have to be here." Zhang Ning said strongly.

"Heh, don't you want to take this opportunity to sleep with me?" Zhang Xiu teased, "Hey, I'll give you a chance to come up and warm my bed, it's quite cold."

Zhang Xiu pursed his lips, indicating that there was still a seat next to him.

Of course, he was just teasing her.

It's just that Zhang Ning lowered his head, a little shy, showing a very embarrassing expression, as if he was struggling.

After a while, she got up and blew out the candle.

Zhang Xiu: "???"

Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, Zhang Xiu swallowed stiffly, because under the moonlight, he could faintly see an extremely perfect thing.

Fuck, sloppy!

Then, the beautiful thing got into his bed, warm jade into his arms, who can resist this!

However, in Zhang Ning's eyes, Zhang Xiu is a great hero, a hero who stands up to the heaven and earth, and Zhang Ning just wants to complete his words.

As long as Zhang Xiu thinks about it, let alone warming the bed, he can do anything!

Tired all night, early the next morning.

Zhang Xiu was originally an injured patient, and this night's disturbance made his injuries even worse. It's uncomfortable, it's too bullying an honest person.

Just kidding myself, this girl took it seriously.

It seems that I can't make jokes in the future. These days, people's hearts are not old, and they like to take advantage too much.

Get up and get dressed.

Today he has something important to do, ransack the house!
Wenpin had arrested all the families involved in the incident yesterday. Some of these people have been sentenced to death, and the other part is being escorted to Xiangyang.

Zhang Xiu wanted to sacrifice the blood of these people to the flag.

He wanted to let the world know what would happen if he resisted.

It was also a wake-up call for Yuan Shao, letting him know that Jingzhou had no one he could use.

Home raids, physical labor.

On that day, Zhang Xiu ransacked the house but was very busy.

All kinds of gold and silver treasures, good land and jade, and countless grains were all confiscated.It is estimated that nearly [-]% of the fertile land in various places fell into his hands.

This ratio shocked Zhang Xiu.

With so much land, Zhang Xiu can completely abolish the tenant farmers, redistribute the land, distribute it according to Ding, and expand food production.

However, while abolishing the tenant farming system, Zhang Xiu needs to promulgate some decrees first, such as decrees to curb land mergers.

At present, the most effective way to curb land mergers should be the land state. Now that there is no resistance from the aristocratic family, it should not be difficult for him to promote this.

Of course, these also need to be aggregated.

There is no need to launch it in a short time, and I will talk about it after Yuan Shao is defeated.

All the money of the aristocratic family was loaded into the car. Some of these have decades or hundreds of years of experience, and some have 30 or [-] years of background. In short, they are all good.

But they were all caught by Zhang Xiu.

It is estimated that thousands of carts are filled with gold and silver treasures, not only from Jiangling, but also county magistrates from all over the country are responsible for exterminating them.

To punish the nine clans, Zhang Xiu directly wiped out the power of the aristocratic family.

All kinds of in-laws and families, whoever is dishonest, will be eradicated.

As for the sacrificed people, Zhang Xiu couldn't go door-to-door to greet them, but he also arranged for local officials to do so one by one.

And the compensation money and benefits are enough for half their lives.

For three days in a row, Zhang Xiu wiped out all the hostile family forces, and even those who were a little bit on the table were cleaned up, and some small fish and shrimps were in fear all day long.

After this cleansing, let alone treason, they dare not even take a breath.Moreover, these aristocratic families died unjustly, and they were directly labeled as anti-thieves, punishing the nine clans.

Even if the world's aristocratic families are dissatisfied with Zhang Xiu's behavior, they can only swallow their anger and criticize with words, which is painless.

At this time, Zhang Xiu escorted thousands of carts back to Xiang.

The news of Zhang Xiu's return to Jing also spread like wildfire, and the people rushed to tell each other. Coupled with the release of the Emperor's Edict, it proved that the Jingzhou family was purged.

Among them, some Yangzhou officials were the most frightened.

At first they were also waiting and watching, but when they knew the end of Jingzhou's side, this group of people wished they could get rid of any relationship now.

surrender?nonexistent!
United with Yuan Shao?Combine a hammer.

They don't want to be ransacked and wiped out, wouldn't it be good to follow Zhang Xiu?Have to think about it?And if you work with Zhang Xiu, although you can't be greedy anymore, your salary is okay.

In short, isn't life good?
Xiangyang, beside the Han River outside the city.

At this time, there was a high platform, Zhang Xiu climbed up and shouted, plausibly speaking, all of them wanted to conquer Yuan Shao, listening to the sonorous and powerful voice, everyone was full of passion.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu yelled loudly again: "Headed by the Kuai family, a total of 85 aristocratic families joined forces to treason the country, colluded with the enemy in secret, and intended to destroy our great Han rivers and mountains. This crime will not be forgiven."

"Today, according to the emperor's edict, the death penalty is imposed, and the general flag is sacrificed to reassure the people."

"cut!"

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, the knife and ax who had been waiting for a long time slashed with force.

Thirty rounds, [-] rounds in a row, the swordsmen have changed a group of turns, countless cries, confessions, and finally annihilation.

Heads roll off one by one,

The blood merged into a stream and flowed into the Han River.
