Chapter 449: Li Zicheng Goes
Meng Weili cut off Zhang Xianzhong's head and wrapped it in a cloth coat, which was to be sent to Jingshi. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and the oppressive smell of death.
Qin Shuhuai looked at Li Zicheng again, and said, "King Li Chuang, my father will give you two choices." First, my father sent someone to bind you into Beijing and wait for the emperor to send you. Second, my father can let you kill yourself and protect you from a whole corpse at the same time. ”
Li Zicheng was slightly stunned, and was silent for a second before he said, "Grandpa Guo, why do you want to be so merciful to Li? Hehe, it makes Li ashamed. ”
Qin Shuhuai said, "In the eyes of this duke, among all the rogues, only King Li Chuang can be regarded as a generation of heroes. My father told you that if you didn't have it, you might be able to do something else, but it's a pity that you were born at the wrong time. In any case, my father respects you as a man. It's up to you to choose which of these two paths to go from. ”
"Hehe, hahaha!" Li Zicheng looked up to the sky and smiled, his laughter was poignant and heroic, "Grandpa Guo, Li has not had any merits worthy of words in his life, but everyone says that Li Zicheng is an ungrateful and murderous thing for glory, but he doesn't want to be so evaluated by Grandpa Guo before he dies! Li is worth it!"
Qin Shuhuai said in his heart, that just didn't give you a chance. If you are given the opportunity, you can fight the Forbidden City.
Li Zicheng smiled, pointed to the greenery outside the cave and said, "Grandpa Guo, you see that the mountains here are extended, the green shade is everywhere, and it is quiet and secluded, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, but it is a good place to sleep?"
Qin Shuhuai nodded, "It's really good." ”
"Then, Li has slept here for eighteen years! Eighteen years later, Li is still a good man, how about coming to join the command of Grandpa Guo at that time and repay Grandpa Guo's kindness today?"
"Hehe, if there is a day, my father will be happy. After Qin Shuhuai finished speaking, he said to everyone, "Give King Chuang some dignity, and the whole army will take a hundred steps back." ”
"No need!" Li Zicheng laughed three times, and then shouted to Qin Shuhuai, "Grandpa Guo, Li Zicheng is gone!"
With that, he took out the dagger he had with him and plunged it into his heart.
After a brief moment of convulsion, he finally closed his eyes.
There was no distortion or pain on his face, and even a slight smile in the calm.
Seeing this, the remaining rogues threw down their weapons one after another.
The coalition soldiers marched up and took them all.
The trilateral bandits have finally been completely quelled.
One of the three major abscesses on the empire's body has finally been completely healed.
Qin Shuhuai said to Meng Wei, "Old Meng, find someone to dig a pit and bury Li Zicheng." ”
Although Meng Wei didn't know why Qin Shuhuai treated Li Zicheng so favorably, he still said without hesitation, "My subordinates obey orders." ”
The army counted the prisoners, cleaned up the battlefield, and pursued another wave of fish that slipped through the net.
After dark, the troops were withdrawn.
There may be a few rogues who escaped, but now that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are dead, and the people on the three sides have no intention of joining the bandits, it doesn't hurt to let them go.
Meng Wei came to report that he had captured more than 4,000 prisoners in total and asked what to do.
Qin Shuhuai said without thinking, "The old way." ”
Meng Wei asked again, "Which old way?"
There are two kinds of old methods, the early "old method" is a method that does not leave the unification and orthodoxy, and the later "old method" is to only kill the leader, and then the strong ordinary rogues are co-opted, as for the old and weak soldiers and those with slippery faces, they will either be buried alive or left to fend for themselves. Meng Wei couldn't tell which Qin Shuhuai was referring to, so he asked.
Qin Shuhuai said, "Kill the leader, stay strong, and give them a ride for the rest." ”
"Okay! My subordinates know. ”
It's dark.
In order not to enter the city and disturb the people, the army camped in place and prepared to spend the night here.
Qin Shuhuai, Zhiren, Wang Datong and others had nothing to do, sitting on a boulder at the foot of the mountain to enjoy the coolness.
Underneath the boulder, one by one the rogues were escorted out. Most of these people are people who are going to be executed.
Zhiren looked at these people and said to Qin Shuhuai, "Brother Qin, the world is decided, and it is better to be Huairen." ”
Wang Datong smiled and said, "Master Zhiren is really a bodhisattva, worthy of being a Shaolin monk." ”
Qin Shuhuai knew that Zhiren actually didn't like to kill people, when he went down to Jiangnan with him, except for the killing rings against the big traitors like the Shifting Flower Palace and the Dark Cloud Sect, he basically didn't kill anyone else.
However, now he has blood on his hands, after all, he is on the battlefield.
Now that the world has been decided, it seems that he doesn't want to kill anymore.
Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai said with a smile, "What about the master? What if they go back and kill people, those who have been rogues don't take human life seriously." ”
"Grandpa Guo has to kill them?"
"It's not that I'm going to kill them, it's that if they don't die, a lot of innocent people will die. Many of these people are big and small leaders among the rogues, and if they return to the village, they will become bullies. ”
Wang Datong nodded and said, "What Grandpa Guo said is right. Lao Zhaohua felt that instead of letting them go back to oppress the good people, it was better to kill them, which was also to punish the strong and help the weak, without losing chivalry. ”
Zhiren thought for a moment and asked, "You want to rectify the Fa...... How many people are there?"
"About two thousand. What's the matter, Brother Zhiren wants to take them back to Shaolin and educate them kindly? Yes, I'll sell my brother's face. ”
Zhiren smiled bitterly, "How can Shaolin have such a big place to raise these people." Hey, that's a pity. ”
"Brother Zhiren, I found that your ideological realm has improved a lot since you retreated. Qin Shuhuai thought for a while and said, "In this way, among the two thousand people, I can let the old and weak soldiers go, so that there are probably three or four hundred leaders and vicious and slippery people left." If you want to save them, you can bring them back to Shaolin. Of course, that will have to wait until I accompany me into Sichuan to kill Zhou Yanru. ”
Lao Tzu, oh no, after the poor monk takes them back, he will discipline them strictly, and if there is any more person who does not listen to the teachings, he will return it to the elder brother and let the elder brother dispose of it. ”
Qin Shuhuai said with a smile, "Brother is merciful, very good!
In fact, Qin Shuhuai didn't want to let these prisoners go. Especially those leaders, which one didn't climb up by killing people?
But Jiren's face, he wants to give. What's more, Shaolin will definitely not be able to do anything big if he accepts these people, why doesn't he do this favor?
After that, he said to Li Jingting, who was on duty not far away, "Jingting, go and call General Meng." ”
Meng Wei soon came.
Qin Shuhuai briefly told him what he meant, and Meng Wei quickly complied.
So the group of prisoners of war was taken back.
But at this time, a prisoner of war scolded, "Dogs, what are you doing here, don't you want to give Lao Tzu a good time? Where is Qin Shuhuai, Lao Tzu wants to see him!"
A coalition soldier kicked him in the ass and scolded, "What's your name, our alliance leader is what you want to see?"
