Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 419 Death is like a lamp going out

  The sun has climbed up into the sky and spread its light all over the earth. The darkness and bloodshed of last night seemed to have passed, and hope and beauty returned to the world.

  In the south of Yongan City, on the side of Fenshui, Zhang Lie had just finished an ambush, but immediately received a message from the scouts, and an encounter battle was about to begin.

  Zhang Lie felt a little tricky.

   Fortunately, there was still smoke and dust. The army from the south of the city did not go directly twenty miles away, but it should not be far away. Twenty miles is about half a day, and the smoke and dust can be seen from this time in the morning. It is predicted that this army intends to rush to Yong'an County today...

  Zhang Lie turned his head quickly, ordered the scouts to investigate again, and at the same time explained that the operation should be more secretive, so as not to be discovered, and then arranged personnel to report to Yong'an.

  Zhang Lie looked around and yelled loudly: "Hurry up, clean up these corpses!" The wreckage of the Baibo army on the road needs to be cleaned up, but the troublesome thing is the strong smell of blood...

"Hey! Don't throw it into the river! You idiot!" Zhang Lie turned his head and saw someone dragging the corpse and was about to throw it into the river. If we go, then what we did all night will be for nothing? Drag it to the back, dig a hole and bury it!"

Zhang Lie rubbed the blood that had seeped into the ground with his feet, and found that the blood had been combined with the loess, and it was impossible to clean it up. The dampness appeared, it was covered more, but a large piece was raised, which was even more unsightly...

   Tsk tsk, oops!

  What should I do?

  ××××××××××××××××××

  In Yong'an City, basically the overall situation has been decided, and some remaining Baibo troops have become useless, and they are gradually culled and killed under the house-to-house search by soldiers and horses brought by Fei Qian.

Some surviving people in Yong'an City also spontaneously followed Feiqian's soldiers with wooden sticks and kitchen knives. Some Baibo soldiers tore off the yellow cloth strips on their heads and took off their armor in an attempt to fool Passed the test, but they were all recognized by these people one by one, and then beaten to death with random sticks...

  The first thing Feiqian did when he entered the city was to go to the Yongan warehouse, but what he saw made Feiqian very disappointed. In the public warehouse, the grain storage is basically empty. There should have been four granaries, but now three are empty. If these people guarded the back road to Luliang Mountain, this granary would be moved to nothing.

   All the money was looted, and there was not a single thing left, such as weapons and armor. They should have been taken away by Baibo who went south.

Even some reserved ropes and wooden barrels were taken away, only some large pieces of wood, green bricks, tiles, iron blocks and other construction materials were of no direct use to the Baibo army, or Those that are not useful for a while are kept in the public treasury.

  Fei sneaked around in the treasury and shook his head. It was really like locusts crossing the border...

   "Send some people to seal it. There are still many places that need to be spent. It's good to have some left." Fei Qian sighed and said to Huang Cheng.

  Huang Cheng nodded silently, without saying anything, and recruited a few soldiers to guard the public treasury. Perhaps seeing the scene in front of him, Huang Cheng's expression was very heavy when he remembered the yellow scarf that caused Jing Xiang's disaster back then.

  A little further south along the street of the public library is the county government office in Yong'an County.

As soon as he walked to the county office, Fei Qian felt the "enthusiasm" of the Baibo army. The vicinity of the county office was full of gifts left by the Baibo army to Fei Qian. A lump here, a pile of "yellow and white things" over there.

  I don’t know what kind of mentality these Baibo soldiers came from, maybe it might be the same as those tourists in later generations who would engrave the words "so and so came here for a visit" in a prominent place no matter what...

   Most of the Baibo army can't write, but it doesn't prevent these guys from running here, excreting in the solemn place that should be the state power, and leaving their own marks...

  Perhaps this kind of behavior is the only way for these people to prove that they have resisted the regime of this country and that they have survived in this world?

  The gate of the county government has been smashed long ago, and it hangs obliquely, like a broken curtain.

  Fei Qian avoided the dense minefield at the entrance, frowning, just walked into the county government compound, and was immediately suffocated by a more pungent rotten smell.

  Even though it was still cold in spring, the corpses had not been collected for many days, and they gradually began to rot, exuding a disgusting smell.

In the county government office, some naked soldiers died in the hall as guards. They should have some armor or something on their bodies, but they were probably stripped off immediately. The skin was exposed, and there were large black corpses. Spots emerged, swarms of flies hovered over them, and some maggots crawled in and out of the rotting wounds.

  Fei subconsciously wanted to raise his sleeve to cover his mouth and nose, but he put down his hand half way through, shook his head, held back his breath, and walked into the lobby.

  The lobby of the county government office was originally used for announcements, hearing cases, and handling political affairs. It is a place that best reflects the dignity of the court, but now in the lobby...

   Horrible.

   Several old and young corpses lay on one side, a middle-aged man was tied to a pillar in the lobby, his throat was cut, and a young woman died naked beside the stone steps...

  This is a family...

   "Is this the county magistrate of Yong'an?" Fei Qian was not sure.

  Huang Cheng also frowned: "...I don't know, but judging from the situation, it probably is."

  Fei Qian was silent, and after a long time he said, "It's a burial, let's bury it."

  Huang Cheng should go down.

  When a person dies like a lamp goes out, all the glory and wealth are gone. Perhaps this county magistrate once thought about making a career and achieving fame, but now he has become a piece of carrion, without even leaving his name.

A soldier ran in from the outside, and accidentally stepped on a gift left by the Baibo army before. Subconsciously, he wanted to kick it off, but he saw Fei Qian in the field, and he couldn't do anything too big He had no choice but to bear with his actions and report: "The captain of Zhangxian County in the south of the city sent someone to report that all the thieves who fled to Baibo in Yong'an south were killed, and none of them slipped through the net! It was also said that a group of soldiers, about 800, were found about 20 miles away. Come here!"

  Eight hundred, little thousand people...

  Bai Bojun?

  What are you doing here?

   The former master ordered his servant to help Kong Ming up, hid his tears with one hand, and held his hand with the other, saying: "I am dead now, and I have something to tell you."

   Kong Ming said: "What is the sacred edict?"

   The First Lord wept and said: "Your talent is ten times that of Cao Pi, and you will surely be able to stabilize the country and decide major events. If your heir can assist you, then he will assist you; if he is not talented, you can be the master of Chengdu."

   …

   …

   …

   This is the last time Liu Daer cried...

   …

   …

   Well, here comes the question:

   Excuse me...

   1. Did Big Ear really cry that time?

   2. Did Zhuge really believe that time?

   …

   ...Let's talk after thinking about it...
