I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 365: People call on the heavens to open their eyes, Qiu Liju goes to prison and shocks Youzhou
No one is left alive?!
Su Yao's words shocked many people present again, not only because of his firm determination and will.

What was even more unexpected was that this prince, who seemed reckless and only knew how to kill, could come up with a thorough plan in such a short time.

They knew very well that in order to truly stabilize the Liaoxi Corridor and ensure peace on the Han border, it was not enough to simply behead Qiuliju, but they also needed to fundamentally undermine the resistance will of the Wuhuan tribe.

Killing their king and dividing their land is a more far-sighted approach than simply killing them.

Qian Zhao and Tian Chou glanced at each other, both revealing a look of admiration.

This Lord Su doesn't look like a simple reckless man or warrior.

Thinking of this, Qian Zhao became more motivated. After he loudly responded, he immediately proposed:
"Since Lord Su wants to use the execution of Qiu Liju to intimidate the tribes, I have another plan that may be able to strike them again."

"Oh? Zijing, please tell us quickly." Su Yao said.

Qian Zhao suggested postponing Qiu Liju's execution and transferring him to Youzhou City before carrying out the canonical execution.

First, it can boost the morale of the military and civilians in Youzhou. The local officers, soldiers and civilians were repeatedly abused by Qiu Liju, Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and others, and they had a deep blood feud.

The second was to spread the word before escorting them away, in order to lure the Wuhuan people into attacking and rescuing their king.

Qian Zhao's suggestion made Su Yao's eyes light up, and others also agreed:
"Zi Jing, this is a brilliant plan!"

"In this way, we can not only take this opportunity to severely damage the morale of the Wuhuan, but also further demonstrate the majesty and determination of our Han Dynasty."

"More importantly, through this action, we can find out the strength and reactions of the various Wuhuan tribes and be fully prepared for the next action."

"It really kills two birds with one stone."

Even Gongsun Zan nodded, but he still asked the question:

"But the question is whether the Wuhuan people will fall into the trap and take action."

"Lord Su has won battle after battle, beheaded generals, captured flags, and captured kings single-handedly. This is truly a great reputation."

"These Wuhuan people just suffered a great defeat. I'm afraid they won't fall for our trick easily, and they don't have the courage and ability to attack."

After Gongsun Zan said this, many people came back to their senses and nodded in agreement.

Gongsun Zan's doubts were not without reason, but Qian Zhao had obviously considered this:
"What the Cavalry Commander said is absolutely right. I cannot guarantee that they will fall into the trap, but this is also an open conspiracy."

"It would be better if they came, but if they don't, it will certainly be a huge blow to the prestige of their successors."

"A successor who can only sit back and watch the leader being captured and executed without doing anything will obviously not be supported by the people."

At this, Gongsun Zan nodded in approval.

Since it is the icing on the cake, there is no harm in giving it a try, but just don't have too high expectations.

However, Su Yao's eyes gradually lit up:

"We can think of a way to add some ingredients, so that if they still can't help but not make a move, I will admit that they are stupid!"

"what?!"

"How can Lord Su be so cruel and resolute?!"

A few days later, at the governor's residence in Youzhou City - Jicheng, Liu Yu was so shocked that he stood up after receiving the message from a fast horse.

Su Yao planned to parade Qiu Liju through the streets and behead him, and then send the news of his head to the border as a warning to others. This news even overshadowed the good news of his glorious victory and the relief of Guanzi City, shocking Liu Yu.

He thought he was used to the war and killing on the border, but the decisiveness and courage shown by Su Yao still made him feel unbelievable.

Parade through the streets?

Send the head to the frontier? This was something he had never heard of.

Just by listening to the wording, he could feel how humiliating it was.

To impose such a punishment on a Wuhuan king who had enjoyed great prestige in recent decades, he knew very well how great a shock this would cause in the Wuhuan tribe, and it might even provoke stronger resistance.

This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the peace of Youzhou border.

Now that we have won a great victory and captured the bandit leader, we should start negotiations and practice benevolence and righteousness to put an end to the war.

How could you add fuel to the fire and humiliate the king like this?

"This is simply nonsense!"

However, in contrast to Liu Yu's confusion and anger, the people of Youzhou burst into cheers.

"Have you heard? Have you heard?"

"The government has issued an order that Wuhuan King Qiuliju has been captured by Marquis Su and will be paraded through the streets to be executed in Youzhou City!"

"Oh my god, God is really open-minded!"

Such news made the people excited.

They had long suffered from the invasions of the Wuhuan people, their homes had been destroyed, their loved ones had been killed, and the pent-up anger and grief in their hearts found an outlet at this moment.

On the streets and alleys, people came out of their homes and told each other this exciting news.

Their faces were filled with long-lost smiles and their eyes were shining with anticipation. They were all looking forward to the arrival of this day.

Compared with the people in the cities inside the Great Wall, the people in Guanzi City and Gouzi City outside the Great Wall are much luckier. They can be the first to participate in this event.

At the gate of Gouzi City, people gathered early, holding rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs in their hands, and some even prepared small stones, ready to vent their anger at the Wuhuan King Qiuliju who was about to be paraded through the streets.

"Here they come! Here they come!" With an excited shout from the crowd, dust was flying in the distance, and a team of soldiers escorting Qiu Liju slowly walked towards them.

Qiu Liju was tied up, and the once majestic king now looked miserable, with his face covered with dust and scars.

Looking at his appearance, many people shed tears of excitement.

They lost too much in this war.

Parents, lovers, children, friends.

In this Gouzi city where only one in ten people are left, no one standing here has a complete family.

Therefore, they also work particularly hard to vent.

They were filled with indignation, some shouting Su Yao's name, some cursing Qiu Liju, and throwing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in their hands at the Wuhuan King.

Qiuliju's head was broken and bleeding, but the soldiers were not moved at all and just silently escorted him forward.

After touring the city, they will rest here for a day and then continue on their journey to Lulongsai.

This scene made Liu Bei, who was temporarily serving as the commander of the city, feel complicated.

The emotions of the captives in the city were even more mixed.

When the city was in chaos and turmoil, a clever prisoner noticed that the guards around him were particularly lax, so he suddenly had an idea, stole a horse and escaped from the city.

Such an atrocity, such a humiliation, the tribe must be informed of it!
