my wife is mulan

Guo Yi said: "

The subordinates also feel puzzled, but this news is absolutely true, it was reported secretly by insiders in the palace, and the subordinates have already obtained verification from the people around Zhu Xiuzhi! "

"This is so strange!" Zhao Junsheng was puzzled, "Has Zhu Xiuzhi's loyalty to the emperor and Wei Guo reached the point where he can betray his confidant? Or could it be said that he did this because he was worried about being implicated by Xu Zhuo?" ?”

At midnight, there was a lot of noise and commotion from the other side of the Yunzhong military camp, and countless soldiers held up torches to illuminate the entire camp inside and outside.

Soon, the commotion stopped and the gate of the camp was opened. Zhu Xiuzhi left his deputy general Xing Huaiming to guard over a thousand soldiers who had already disarmed.

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and other generals and important officials in the army rushed to the palace after receiving the imperial edict.

Xu Zhuo was tied up and pushed to the middle of the main hall and knelt down facing the emperor Tuoba Jian. Behind him stood two thick and thick armored soldiers. Zhu Xiuzhi stood on one side and clasped his fists at Tuoba Jian and said, "Your Majesty, betray Xu Zhuo and gather more than a thousand generals. I was about to launch a rebellion, but I was disarmed on the spot, and now the thousand soldiers will be guarded in the camp, Xu Zhuo has been brought here, please send me down!"

Tuoba Jian looked at Xu Zhuo, "Xu Zhuo, do you have something to say?"

Xu Zhuo's face was indifferent, and he seemed to have the will to die, he said: "There is nothing to say, if you want to kill, you can listen to the respect!"

Tuoba Jian had a murderous look on his face, "I will marry the children of the clan to you, give you a mansion in Pingcheng, and give you three thousand acres for two days, three thousand head of cattle and sheep, silk and satin, countless jewels and jade. Don't be mean to you, why did you betray me?"

"Hahaha..." Xu Zhuo laughed loudly, pointing to Zhu Xiuzhi and other Han generals and Han officials who surrendered and said, "These people are Han people, and their blood is flowing in their bodies, but they are treated by small favors and small favors." Buying, I have already forgotten my ancestors, and I will definitely be accused by my ex-husband, and will be stigmatized for thousands of years! As the saying goes, a loyal minister does not serve two masters, let alone serve you, the barbarian chief of a foreign country! I, Xu Zhuo, do not read much, but I also know that I must never forget my ancestors. , is to die for the family and the country, and it is worthy of death!"

Tuoba Jian heard the veins on his forehead bulge, and flew into a rage, "Bold! Someone, take him down, and in the morning, he will be quartered in front of the battle! Kill all the soldiers who participated in the rebellion without leaving a single moment!"

Xu Zhuo was detained, and Zhao Junsheng watched the whole process with suspicion. Is all this true?Has Zhu Xiuzhi become so shameless and vicious?

"Why do I always feel that there is something wrong here?" Zhao Junsheng looked at Zhu Xiuzhi's relieved expression, and couldn't help asking himself in his heart.

Chapter 532

In the early morning, mist hung over the camp. ----Update fast, no anti-theft--

In the mist, a large group of soldiers were digging a big pit with hoes and shovels. These people were all soldiers in the cloud under Zhu Xiuzhi's command. They were all captured with Zhu Xiuzhi and surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

No one spoke, the diggers dug the soil silently, and the soil pickers picked up the baskets full of soil to the side of the big pit and piled them up in silence.

This big pit was prepared by them for their former comrades. Those more than 1000 comrades participated in the rebellion last night. The emperor ordered to kill these people. The entire Eastern Expedition Army was tens of thousands of horses. Asking those peasants to dig a hole, but let them, their former colleagues, dig a hole, no matter how stupid people are, they will know what's going on.

No one knows why the military commander Xu Zhuo and those thousands of colleagues rebelled, no one knows what is going on, even if those former colleagues really wanted to rebel, the emperor asked them to dig a hole in their chests. Stab!

Zhu Xiuzhi stood aside and watched the soldiers dig the pit. They dug very slowly, but no matter how slow they dug, they would finish digging. He gritted his teeth and kept a straight face, but he couldn't stop the tears from streaming down his face.

"General, General Zhao and General Hua are here!" Deputy General Xing Huaiming reminded from the side.

Hearing this, Zhu Xiuzhi hurriedly turned his head, raised his arms to wipe away his tears, then turned around to meet Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, clasped his fists with a smile on his face, and said, "Brother Zhao, General Hua, I told you to watch a joke, it's all about Zhu People are not strict enough to let those more than a thousand brothers end up like this!"

Hua Mulan looked at him with a little sarcasm: "Since that's the case, why did General Zhu betray his brother and the thousand soldiers under his command so cruelly? Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of other soldiers?"

Zhu Xiuzhi said seriously: "Although Xu Zhuo and the thousands of soldiers under his command are brothers of Zhu, they conspired to launch a rebellion for the purpose of betrayal and disloyalty! Since ancient times it has been said that 'loyalty cannot be equal', if I am righteous to my brothers and soldiers , is to be disloyal to His Majesty and Wei. They started a rebellion without telling me, and they don’t treat me as a brother, so they are not worthy of being my brother. I will kill my relatives in righteousness! General Hua, what would you do ?”

This question made Hua Mulan unable to answer. She asked herself, if she were Zhu Xiuzhi, what would she do?she does not know!

Zhao Junsheng saw that Hua Mulan was stabilized, and the atmosphere seemed awkward and cold. He took over the topic and said, "Looking at Brother Zhu's red eyes, it seems..." He didn't say what he said later, but everyone present knew what it was .

Zhu Xiuzhi sighed: "People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? After all, Zhu has been brothers with them for so many years, and now he wants to send them on the road in person, it is unavoidable to be sad and sad! It's just that it is inevitable in Zhu's heart My heart is chilling, I think Zhu Gongzu has never been half-hearted since he joined the Great Wei and his Majesty, and he has never slack off in military affairs! When Zhu found out that his brothers were trying to plot a rebellion, he hesitated whether to report to the emperor, but in the end I They still reported their crimes without hesitation, but the emperor asked Zhu and his soldiers to dig a hole to send them on the road. This is a stab in the heart of me, Zhu and thousands of brothers!"

Zhao Junsheng carefully observed Zhu Xiuzhi, trying to see something from his face, but found nothing, so he could only comfort him: "Brother Zhu, I think you have misinterpreted the meaning of the emperor. It's not that the emperor doesn't trust you!"

"Oh? Then... what does the emperor mean by doing this? I, Zhu, am stupid, so I asked Brother Zhao to explain it to me!" Zhu Xiuzhi hurriedly clasped his fists and said. ---- Fast update, no anti-theft ---

Zhao Junsheng looked at Hua Mulan, he and Hua Mulan came from the emperor just now, they came to express condolences to Zhu Xiuzhi on behalf of the emperor, and said with a smile: "The emperor wants to make a clean break between you and the past, just to help you make up your mind !"

Zhu Xiuzhi was stunned for a moment, as if he understood the emperor's good intentions, and turned to

He bowed in the direction of the palace and shouted: "Your Majesty is holy!"

The big pit was finally dug, with a depth of one foot and five feet. All the soldiers who dug the pit climbed up and retreated to the surrounding area of ​​the big pit with shovels and baskets of hoes.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" With several consecutive yells, the Yunzhong soldier holding a shovel on the left side made a way for them.

Two columns of cavalry ran over to separate the soldiers with shovels from the passage, and forbidding anyone to approach the passage.

Yuan He personally led the team, and a large number of cavalry escorted more than a thousand soldiers who participated in the rebellion through the passage to the side of the big pit.

"Get down! I'll let you jump down, jump!" A cavalry soldier shouted at the soldiers who participated in the rebellion at the front of the passage with a spear.

The cavalry responsible for the escort began to drive away the soldiers who participated in the rebellion with weapons and bows and arrows.

Faced with the threat of swords, spears, bows and arrows, the soldiers who participated in the rebellion had to jump into the big pit one by one, like dumplings.

These people were yelling and yelling in the pit, and some tried to climb up from other positions, but the cavalry brought by Yuan He quickly took over the surrounding area of ​​the pit, and stabbed all the people who tried to climb up, no matter whether they lived or died, As long as you climb up, you can move your sword and open your bow.

More than a thousand rebels were all driven into the big pit. The depth of the big pit was close to five meters. How could these people climb up so easily?

Cursing, crying mixed together.

"Bows and arrows ready—" Yuan He raised his hand and shouted, and the cavalry around the pit raised their bows and arrows at the rebels in the pit.

"Arrows——" With Yuan He's roar, countless arrows shot into the big pit non-stop, and the soldiers in the pit fell down or screamed miserably one by one.

Zhu Xiuzhi closed his eyes and turned his head away, not daring to look at the scene. No one noticed that his whole body was trembling slightly.

Killing, not burying alive!How can the living be willing to stand still and be buried?Unless he is tied up.Since the beginning of history, there have been almost all dynasties' records of killing in the history books. For example, it is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Yuan Shao that Cao Cao narrowly won the battle of Guandu and "destroyed" a Yuan army that was forced to surrender. This surrendered army killed all of them, gathered the corpses and dug a big pit to bury them.

Some people think that the killing of corpses is just to collect the corpses and not bury them, so as to form a deterrent effect.Why is it called pit killing? There must be a pit. What is called pit killing without digging a pit?

After several waves of arrows were shot, everyone in the pit fell down, and many people were even shot like hedgehogs.

Zhao Junsheng is extremely opposed to and shameless against this kind of centralized massacre. What do these ordinary soldiers know?They are just following orders or being bewitched, the real culprit is the leader!

But this is the emperor's will, the king is angry, lay down millions of corpses!However, the meaning of this sentence does not mean that the emperor directly ordered mass slaughter, but that the king's anger will cause many deaths, whether directly or indirectly, in short, many people will suffer.

An emperor actually ordered a large-scale massacre, which changed Zhao Junsheng's view of Tuoba Jian. In any case, this kind of thing should not happen to an emperor. The emperor's prestige in the world does not depend on the shock of massacres Without power, the massacre will only expose the cruelty in the person's heart.

"Fill the soil!" Zhu Xiuzhi yelled while holding back his grief.

The soldiers took their shovels and passed through the gaps between the cavalry and began to fill in the soil, and a pile of soil was thrown into the pit.

At this time, the eunuchs next to the emperor came to convey the will, and announced that the generals of all the armies would go to the palace to discuss matters.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan knew that the emperor was about to order the attack on the city. As for where the soldiers and horses would come to attack the city, it depended on the emperor's plan.

Tuoba Jian sat on the throne and looked at the civil servants and generals and said: "I sent someone to give Feng Hong an ultimatum to lead the army and people in the city to surrender. Three days have passed, and Feng Hong has not sent anyone to discuss the matter of surrender. This shows that He has already decided to defend Dragon City to the death, I can't wait any longer!"

"The siege equipment has been built, and I will start the siege today. Where is Daqian?"

General Zheng Bei Daqian stood up and clasped his fists: "The minister is here!"

"I order you to lead the Wangshi Army, the Zongzi Army, and the Habayashi Army to attack the city!"
