At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 279 Controlling the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion
"do not fight."

Xie Xuanli shook his head.

"Rumble"

"Rumble"

The earth was shaking. Above, in the night, lightning and thunder were flashing, and a brown light was coming from outside the city.

It's the Iron Cavalry.

There were densely packed cavalrymen, almost all of them were injured, with broken armor, and their number was about two thousand. A large black banner appeared in the eyes of Xie Xuanli and Xiao Han.

On the big banner, there is a word "Xiao" written in iron and silver.

It is the big banner with the word "Xiao" on it.

A large banner with the word "Xiao" on it appeared in front of the Marquis Zhenbei's mansion.

This was the first time this happened after the Xie Wang flag was raised in Jizhou, and it was also the last time.

"boom!"

Hu Chi, covered in blood, held a bloody saber in his hand and cut down the big banner with the word "Xie" outside the marquis' mansion.

The huge flag collapsed with a loud bang and fell into the dust and blood. The two thousand blood-stained Xiliang cavalry stopped in front of the marquis' mansion.

The murderous aura was overwhelming and the evil spirit was running rampant, just like a group of ferocious beasts with bloody mouths opened, ready to swallow the Marquis of Zhenbei at any time.

Hu Chi stood on his horse, the long knife in his hand dragging on the ground, his scarlet eyes staring at the old man in the ruins.

Xie Xuanli slowly stood up, patted the dirt off his body, glanced at the two thousand Xiliang cavalry, and praised: "They are indeed one in a million brave warriors."

Ten thousand versus forty thousand.

The final outcome was a great victory for the Xiliang cavalry, who dispersed the 40,000 cavalry of Jizhou at the cost of 8,000 casualties.

The gloomy night was swaying, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the earth and the sky were shaking, and countless slaves and maids in the palace were fleeing in panic.

"Prepare."

Hu Chi slowly raised the long sword in his hand, and the two thousand Xiliang cavalrymen behind him raised their swords and spears, tightened the reins, and even the war horses under his crotch were extremely excited.

Be ready to charge at any time and raze the entire Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to the ground, leaving no one alive.

Throughout history, every victor has chosen to do so, firstly to eradicate the roots, and secondly to deter the enemy.

According to convention, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion should be littered with corpses tonight.

"bring it on.

Xie Xuanli clapped his hands and said calmly: "Being defeated by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I have no regrets in my death.

There were still many loyal guards and servants in the palace. They picked up their weapons, rushed out of the ruins, holding torches, and swarmed in, wanting to make a final resistance.

But when they saw the two thousand Xiliang cavalry who seemed to have walked out of hell, they couldn't help but gasp.

Xie Xuanli did not beg for mercy, nor did he ask for a chance to survive for the people in the mansion.

He just watched quietly with his eyes closed.

Hu Chi and the two thousand Xiliang cavalry all looked at the man behind Xie Xuanli, the burly armored soldier. As long as their lord gave the order, the two thousand cavalry would charge.

however.

Xiao Han just pressed his palm and looked at Xie Xuanli, "The battle of Xiliang and Jizhou should end here."

"I will not massacre the people of Jizhou City, nor will I kill the Marquis."

He shook his head: "On the contrary, I will live out my life for you, my Lord."

Then he turned around, looked at the frightened servants and guards, and shouted, "Let's go."

"There will no longer be a Zhenbei Marquis Mansion in the future."

"this?"

They looked at each other, hesitating. Xiao Han's fierce power was known to everyone in Jizhou.

But tonight, such an executioner did not massacre the city, and was even willing to let them go. This was truly the first time in history.

No one left because they were afraid, afraid that it was Xiao Han's conspiracy.

"roll."

Hu Chi roared with his eyes wide open, just like an angry tiger. The people in the mansion were so scared that their limbs were shaking and their legs were trembling.

They walked out in twos and threes.

Only after confirming that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were not chasing them did these people breathe a sigh of relief and couldn't help but quicken their pace.

"Hu Chi, you take your people to control the entire Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. People can leave, but all the gold, silver, jade, silk and satin cannot be lost."

Xiao Han said: "Anyone who dares to hide it or take it out of the city will be killed without mercy."

"promise."

Two thousand Xiliang cavalrymen led by Hu Chi entered the mansion and quickly took control of all the courtyards.

"My Lord, come back to Xiliang with me."

He looked at Xie Xuanli and said in a deep voice: "After the war is over, I will report to the court and strip you of your title. From now on, there will be no more Zhenbei Marquis in this world, only the King of Xiliang."

"The grain-sucking machine is integrated into one. As for the Xie Xiao family, I will not kill the Marquis, nor will I massacre the children of the Xie family, including the prince. You can let them go."

"Xiao Han, you won't even give me a last chance?"

Xie Xuanli was really helpless.

"No."

Xiao Han smiled and said, "If I kill the Marquis and massacre the Xie family, although I can quickly control Jizhou and Yongzhou in a short period of time, it will plant many hidden dangers in the future."

"I know that the Marquis wants to use his death to exchange for the breakup of Jizhou and Xiliang, but I won't do that."

Why not kill Xie Xuanli?
The first was that he was accused of killing his old superior, which was unfilial. Xiao Han's reputation in the world was already bad. Over the years, he pacified the miscellaneous Hu tribes, expanded the territory, resisted the Northern Wei, and worked hard to govern the country and manage Xiliang, only then did he slightly restore some of his good reputation.

If he killed Xie Xuanli at this time, his reputation would plummet.

Second
He already had many Jizhou soldiers under his command, and in the three states of Youzhou, Yongzhou and Jizhou, there were countless people who were loyal to Xie Xuanli.

Xiao Han's prestige in the Jizhou army is unmatched, but it is not as high as Xie Xuanli, the Marquis of Zhenbei.

If Xie Xuanli were killed, it would chill the hearts of the people in the three states, and would also chill the hearts of the soldiers in Jizhou.

You know, in addition to the more than 100,000 troops under the command of Ah Hong on the city wall, and the 100,000 troops heading to Yongcheng, the soldiers from various counties in Jizhou and Jubei City add up to about 100,000.

It was impossible for him to stop and kill these 300,000 cavalrymen in one breath, so he had to persuade them to surrender in the end.

Killed Xie Xuanli,

These 300,000 Jizhou cavalrymen would not be used by Xiao Han and would only benefit the prince.

If he raises his arms and calls out, countless people will follow him.

Therefore, Xie Xuanli could not be killed.

Not only can he not be killed, but he must also be fed and served well, so that he can live out his days in peace. First, a memorial should be submitted to deprive him of his title, and then a memorial should be submitted to make a request.

In this way, the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Jizhou can be won, and pacifying Jizhou will be easy. Even if there are some die-hard fans of the Xie family, they will not be a threat.

After all, this means that the banner with the character Xiao on it will normally take over the banner of the three states of Jizhou from Xie Xuanli.

As for the prince, his ability is totally inadequate to shake Xiao Han's prestige and status.

Besides, with Xie Xuanli's physical condition, even if he is not stupid now, he will not live for many years. After taking him back to Xiliang, I will set up a yard for him in Shuiyun Mountain.

When he is buried in the western district, he will be buried with great ceremony, which will not only enhance Xiao Han's reputation for loyalty and filial piety, but also enhance the reputation of loyalty and filial piety of all the people in the three states of Jizhou.

"You kid, you won't take any loss at all!"

Xie Xuanli curled his lips and said helplessly.
