In the spacious courtyard, twisted corpses were piled in two piles on the left and right.
The blood that flowed out penetrated deeply into the soil underground.
The green grass on the side was directly suppressed, but it stubbornly wanted to straighten up.
Li Xuan stepped across the green grass. As he walked, he looked at everything around him, with a trace of doubt on his face.
His eyes fell on Yan Tao beside him, and Li Xuan asked with some confusion: "It seems that none of our people were injured, and we have completely killed all the Tianyin bandits. According to legend, Tianyin Aren't the bandits brave enough to die? Why are they so weak this time?"
Li Xuan was really surprised. He had heard from others more than once that the Tianyin cultists were crazy and powerful.
Especially on the battlefield, even an ordinary Tianyin cultist looks like a different person when he picks up a weapon.
Be brave and fearless of death, fearless and painless.
At that time, even the elite soldiers of the government could not gain much advantage in a head-on fight, so they had to find another way.
But now, these people are simply killed, and they look much weaker than before.
"Reporting back to your lord, these people were just soldiers in the city before. Their military skills are not good and their combat power is weak. Even if they are passionate, they will not be able to perform effectively under long-range sniping. Your lord, let's take a look at their weapons. .”
Yan Tao said, stepping aside and pointing at the weapons piled into a pile.
Li Xuan stepped forward and took a closer look. In the flickering firelight, he could clearly see that these weapons were very old, and some had even been curled.
Yan Tao said with some emotion: "There are only some of the most common bladed knives on the market, there are only two or three shields, and there are only five or six bows and crossbows. They were all sniped before they even had time to pull the strings."
Li Xuan nodded clearly. These people were just ordinary soldiers. Even with the support of fanatical beliefs, their combat power was relatively limited. Coupled with the equipment gap between the two sides, they were naturally easily massacred from a distance.
Even because of fanaticism, it also affects my reaction speed.
After understanding this, Li Xuan instantly had a clear understanding of the overall combat power of the Tianyin Sect.
Except for the three thousand elite soldiers who have been carefully trained with weapons and armor, the other Tianyin priests' combat power is not much better than that of ordinary soldiers.
As long as the design is clever, any number of people can be easily killed.
The Tianyin Sect, which originally seemed extremely mysterious, was completely torn off its fig leaf in front of Li Xuan.
The Tianyin Sect's hall masters who are distributed in various states and counties are already the best among the best.
Apart from them and the three thousand elites, the others were just a mob after all.
Even with the blessing of faith, their shortcomings are still too obvious.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xuan's mind already had four or five methods for targeting the Tianyin cultists.
It can be easily killed directly.
The future is still unknown, but now, Li Xuan has completely gained the psychological advantage over the Tianyin Sect.
The overall situation of Wuzhou's future was clearly reflected in his mind.
In an instant, all thoughts were suppressed in my heart.
Li Xuan looked at the weapons on the ground and suddenly said: "There are shields, longbows, and crossbows here. It seems that it is necessary to check which family these shields and crossbows come from."
Li Xuan said one sentence, and everyone present suddenly had different expressions.
The expressions of Yan Tao and Xu Jian changed slightly. Xu Jian couldn't help but stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, 80% of the weapons manufacturing workshops in Wuzhou belong to the Qian family. This needs to be investigated..."
"Of course, we need to investigate. If these investigations are not clear, someone should come to investigate this king." Li Xuan shook her head, looked at Xu Jian with a solemn expression, then looked at the people behind him, and waved her hands. He said: "You may not be clear about the political calculations here. Just follow the rules and do things. I will have a word with Qian Zhe later."
Xu Jian immediately woke up.
These things in front of me are
What you can't see is a rather complex political struggle involved.
Qiu Zhenmu on the side had already lowered his head and said nothing.
He is the one who has been with Li Xuan the longest among the three, and Li Xuan has never hidden some secret calculations from him.
Among the four major families in Wuzhou, except for the Shen family, the other three families were more or less targeted by Li Xuan.
Nowadays, it is rare for someone to have something in his hands, and Li Xuan will not let it go so easily.
Li Xuan's eyes glanced slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't continue to pile up these corpses here, put them on the car, parade them through the streets, and by the way, let the mayors of each neighborhood identify whose children these are." , everything should be handled according to the law."
According to the law of Yonghui, anyone who conspires to rebel or commit great treason will be beheaded regardless of his head; his father and sons over the age of sixteen will be hanged.
Wives and concubines, sons under the age of fifteen, mothers, daughters, sons' wives, concubines, grandsons, grandfathers, brothers and sisters all became official servants.
The family members, servants, property, fields and houses all lost their official positions.
Uncles, uncles, and nephews all live three thousand miles apart, whether they live together or not.
Now these people are ready to assassinate the king and even openly rebel.
Harsh legal punishment is absolutely unavoidable.
"Your Majesty, all my subordinates know these people. I wonder if we can go directly to their homes to arrest them." Yan Tao couldn't help but stood up.
"No, let the chief of the department identify and arrest the person." Li Xuan turned to look at Yan Tao and said with a cold expression: "You also want to go, but your task is to watch the chief and not deliberately admit his mistake. , if he admitted his mistake on purpose, what should you do?"
"My subordinates know." Yan Tao looked slightly stern. He was not stupid, but he was usually not willing to think about these aspects.
From this scene, it is obvious that the King of Nanchang has an ulterior motive.
Those poor village leaders are in trouble.
"Your Majesty, do you want to screen all the people in the city?" Qiu Zhenmu stepped forward, cupped his hands, and looked at Li Xuan cautiously.
In the beginning, they were able to completely quell the Tianyin Sect rebellion in Dongyang because of this method of killing people's hearts.
Now as long as this method is implemented in Wuzhou, it will be difficult for Tianyin Sect to make any achievements in Wuzhou.
"No, this method is not feasible in Zhoucheng." Li Xuan stopped Qiu Zhenmu directly, and at the same time said with a serious look: "Brother Qiu, that method is just a way for us to understand the situation when we first arrived in Wuzhou. Not familiar with it, coupled with the small number of people in Dongyang and the small number of Tianyin followers, this can only be done reluctantly. However, this method cannot be easily implemented in a big city like Wuzhou."
Qiu Zhenmu frowned, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Li Xuan turned to look at the others and said politely: "The population of Zhoucheng is at least five times that of Dongyang. Most of the people who immigrated from Muzhou were concentrated in Zhoucheng. This means that, The Tianyin Sect has at least five times as many followers in Zhoucheng as there are in Dongyang, and even every household has relatives and friends who are followers of the Tianyin Goddess."
Seeing Li Xuan's eyes looking over, the faces of many Wuzhou officers and soldiers present instantly became embarrassed.
"There are few people in Dongyang. Even if there is an accident, we can control it by force. But there are many people in Zhoucheng. If we are not careful, it will lead to chaos." Li Xuan finally looked at Qiu Zhenmu and said seriously: "If there is a When you have a choice, you must not act haphazardly.”
"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone present, no matter what, rushed forward to compliment him at this time.
Most people have heard of Li Xuan's methods in Dongyang.
Seeing that this method might be used directly on themselves, they were naturally worried.
Now that they heard Li Xuan say that he didn't plan to do this, everyone immediately relaxed a little. At the same time, they also stepped forward to compliment Li Xuan, hoping to finalize these matters.
Li Xuan waved her hands to stop everyone's compliments, and then said: "Although we say we don't plan to do this, it does not prevent others from thinking that we will do so... So, Xu Canjun, please let the news out. It always makes some people nervous."
"Here!" Xu Jian immediately stepped forward and accepted the promise without any hesitation.
Qiu Zhenmu's eyebrows twitched involuntarily at the side.
This method of using rumors to unsettle people's hearts is not much less effective than direct identification.
Their King of Nanchang has become more and more sophisticated in calculating people's hearts.
"Also, for the Tianyin believers who died here today, after the land in their homes is confiscated, they will also be distributed as this land grant, and the wind will be released. As long as there is no Tianyin believer in the family, they can apply for this grant. Tian." Li Xuan threw out one sentence and continued to move forward.
Among the crowd, only Li Zhu and Xu Jian followed. The others couldn't help but stood there in a daze.
Chills all over.
Groups of soldiers walked past Li Xuan, carrying corpses one by one, towards the door.
The entire courtyard has been thoroughly cleaned. Except for Li Xuan's men, there is almost no one alive here.
Standing at the entrance to the second courtyard, Li Xuan said with some emotion: "Cao Mengde once said in a poem: The armor is infested with lice, and all the people will die; the bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles."
Looking at the corpses all over the courtyard, Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Of course, after the battle in Muzhou, I'm afraid this will be the case. I just hope that this time, the tragic battle situation of the past will not be repeated."
"Your Majesty, have mercy!" Everyone present raised their hands at the same time, with a trace of sadness flashing in their eyes.
In the final analysis, they are just warriors on the battlefield, and the real power to kill has never been in their hands.
"Okay, let's go." Li Xuan turned around and walked outside. After taking only two steps, he subconsciously stopped.
Several soldiers in front were carrying corpses from a small mountain of corpses. Each of these corpses had several crossbow arrows inserted into them, like little hedgehogs.
Yan Tao took a step forward and explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, these people persisted until the end. When they were in the army, they were all top-notch warriors. Somehow, they fell into Tianyin's plan. "
Li Xuan nodded slightly, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
[Fang Yunxiu, the leader of Wuzhou Hall of Tianyin Sect, under the command of General Manager Wen Fu, has a sinister mind, and has an innate talent for perfection (slight injury)]
"You have to pay more attention to this kind of thing in the future. The Tianyin Sect's ability to confuse people's hearts is too strong. If you don't pay attention, your family will be destroyed." Li Xuan said while looking at Li Zhu on the side. Chinese website
Li Zhu's brows raised in an instant. At this time, he heard Li Xuan continue: "I have invited Buddhist and Taoist schools to come to discuss and eliminate the belief in Tianyin Goddess..."
A cold blade light suddenly appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes. While Li Xuan spoke, he turned his body and his hand was directly behind the blade light. Then he turned around, and the blade light had already stabbed fiercely into the pile of corpses.
Everyone present did not react at all, and then they saw Li Xuan stabbing hard into the gap between the corpses.
The next moment, the pile of corpses that had been piled together suddenly exploded.
With a "bang", a figure burst out from among the corpses, pushing back at half the speed of lightning.
But at this moment, a sharp blade light seemed to ignore the time.
It appeared in everyone's eyes very clearly, and then it disappeared into that person's body very clearly.
Blood bursts.
