I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 220 This world is like this

"Hahaha, the general can kill me. It is best to kill me in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies and in front of thousands of people in Jiangyuan County. Kill me, a powerless scholar!"

The soldiers dragged Takamatsu and others down.

"Only those who are virtuous can be respected in our country. The general has a high position and has great authority. When you come to Jiangyuan, will you only make things difficult for this helpless scholar!"

The soldier asked Takamatsu and others to kneel down and then pulled out their swords.

"General, in today's world, only virtuous people can win. The Prime Minister has always convinced others with his virtue. Now millions of people in Jiangyuan County are looking at this with wide eyes. Does the General really want to put his own reputation at risk?" Don’t you care?”

The soldier started pouring water on the knife.

"General, I have a plan that can help the general put an end to the Jiangyuan rebellion immediately!" Takamatsu began to sweat on his forehead and his teeth began to chatter.

The soldier raised his knife.

"General! If you don't give up, I am willing to follow the example of dogs and horses..."

Click...

Takamatsu's head fell to the ground.

The soldier scolded several other people: "Everyone is kneeling down. If anyone moves, it won't be a matter of one knife."

Several people knelt there in despair, kneeling in a row and already greeting the eighteenth generation of Takamatsu's ancestors.

You say you! Why are you pretending to be cool if you have no ability!

Not long after, six heads were hung neatly on the wooden poles.

Everyone in the city can see it.

"Send people to block all the city gates on all sides." Li Heng ordered, "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

Fu Qian's heart trembled, but he did not hesitate and responded: "Here, I will make arrangements right now."

Lu Zhi on the side glanced at Li Heng, and he felt the change in Li Heng.

When he first met Li Heng, he felt like a gentle and quiet young man.

Smiling gives people a sense of intimacy.

People around him agreed.

But now, Li Heng is completely different.

He didn't know if the experience of the past two years had changed this young man, or was this young man originally like this, but he just hid himself when he was weak?

"General, there are many people in the city, and they are innocent." Lu Zhi reminded him.

"I know some people are innocent." Li Heng's tone was very calm, and he could not hear the joy, anger, sorrow, or joy. "Han, Wei, and Wu fought for decades, and every soldier who died was innocent."

"They are the fathers of their children, sons who have been raised hard by their mothers. Their fathers have high hopes for them. However, many of them will be forcibly recruited to the battlefield when they are teenagers. When they die, they will die quietly. The sound is just like the trampled grass and grass on the roadside."

Having said this, Li Heng glanced at Lu Zhi and asked, "What do you think made them die so meaninglessly?"

Lu Zhi was suddenly asked by Li Heng and didn't know how to answer.

Lu Zhi thought he was well-read in poetry and literature, but he found that he often couldn't answer the general's questions.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Lu Zhi is willing to follow the general.

He felt that this young man was different.

"Let me tell you, what caused all this is the greed of the human heart. When Cao Ah Man was young, he was not afraid of the powerful and killed all the corrupt officials in Qingzhou. He aspired to become a general to conquer the west, but in the end he united with the big families and annexed the north. Is Cao Ah Man greedy? ? I don’t think so, Cao Ah Man may still be the same Cao Ah Man, but he can no longer be the same Cao Ah Man.”

“People are best at concealing their greedy hearts with gorgeous appearance and nice language, so virtue and etiquette are accompanied by plunder and killing throughout history.”

Lu Zhi suddenly asked: "Does the general want to end up in this big turbid dye vat?"

"No, if you want to change the rules that make most people die meaninglessly, you must find a way to eliminate the powerful people who made these rules. These powerful people protect the interests of their own families, such as the Chang family in Jiangyuan County."

"As for it, it is inevitable that more people will die in this process. This road is very long and very painful."

"Can the powerful really be completely eliminated?" This time, Li Heng did not answer Lu Zhi.

The forward army has begun to form a formation, with nearly a thousand people wearing iron armor.

They tested the knives, then put them away and began preparing the ladder.

Hundreds of crossbowmen behind them also formed up.

Seeing this scene, the people at the top of the city knew that the last chance for negotiation was gone.

Some people started to get scared.

But someone at the top of the city shouted: "We defend the city, they can't attack it, let's work together to defend our homeland!"

The morale of the city guards immediately rose in anger.

The Imperial Guards carried ladders and advanced towards the city wall.

The city wall in Jiangyuan County is only more than three meters high, and it is an earthen wall. It is usually used to prevent thieves.

The main function of the city wall is to weaken the offensive power of the attackers.

When people attack from the bottom up, their strength is very weak.

What's more, the city is already crowded with people from Jiangyuan County. Although they don't have iron armor, they all have knives in their hands and stare nervously down.

When the forwards were just dispatched, the crossbowmen behind fired several waves of crossbow arrows towards the city.

A dense rain of arrows hit the city. In the blink of an eye, there were dozens of people among them. Amidst the screams, the city was in chaos.

The Guards' crossbows continued to attack upwards.

Some arrows were stuck on the city wall, some were nailed to people's bodies, and some were over the city's head.

More people were shot and others scurried to the ground.

At this time, the forward was almost close to the city wall, and the crossbowmen behind stopped shooting.

The ladder was set up at the top of the city, and the Imperial Guards began to climb the ladder.

The bows and arrows stopped, and the person above also reappeared, but his momentum was obviously weaker.

Li Heng saw this simple scene, and he found that the Imperial Guards' attack on the city was actually very clumsy, and they were far less agile than the frontier troops in Guanzhong.

It seems that the Imperial Guards have been in the capital for a long time and have been abandoned.

However, it is not a big problem to capture Gangwon County.

After a fight with a stick of incense, some soldiers in the vanguard of the Imperial Guard fell from the ladder, and the others showed horrified expressions when they saw it.

Several siege ladders were defeated, but a few others relied on the protection of iron armor to reach the top of the city.

As soon as the first batch of imperial guards arrived on the city, the one-sided massacre began.

The difference between wearing iron armor and not wearing iron armor is clear at a glance.

More guards climbed up, and the defenders at the top of the city began to fall one by one.

The chaos caused by the screams and hasty escapes made the city seem chaotic.

The only order is to kill.

Li Heng suddenly said to Lu Zhi: "I don't know whether the powerful can be completely eliminated, but there must be a world where the rules are such that most weak people can survive, at least they will not die at any time. However, It’s not that world yet.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the city gate of Jiangyuan County was also blasted open by the imperial guards downstairs.

A large number of Praetorian Guards poured in.
