Chapter 647: Pacifying Hebei
Wang Xuanshu and Wang Xuanying led nearly two thousand people from the civil and military ministers out of the city and surrendered in front of the Yan army's formation.
Qin Hu personally led his troops and horses to wait outside. When he saw them coming out, he hurriedly dismounted and knelt down in front of Wang Shichong's body: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is here to see you off."
Qin Hu kowtowed four times in front of Wang Shichong, knelt on the ground and said: "Father-in-law, when things have reached this point, I, Qin Hu, can't do anything about it. Your mistake is that you shouldn't have killed the emperor, which makes me want to save you."
It can’t be saved. That’s all. I hope we won’t live in troubled times in the next life.”
Brother Wang Xuanshu burst into tears immediately.
Qin Hu said: "I will fulfill my promise yesterday. Let the Wang family forget its past and return to Chang'an with me. You don't have to worry too much."
"Where is Su Dingfang?"
"The end will be here."
Qin Hu ordered: "I order you and Commander Lai Yuan to enter the city with 10,000 troops, seal the treasury and seize property, maintain public order in the streets, and do not allow rioters to take advantage of the opportunity to rob the downtown area. Soldiers are prohibited from taking advantage of the fire to rob. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy."
"The general will obey his orders."
Su Dingfang's army entered the city, and Qin Hu ordered again: "Zhang Xutuo listens to the order."
Zhang Xutuo jumped out of the horse and said: "The end will be here."
Qin Hu said: "Press Duan Da, Pang Yu, Huo Shiju, Wang Long, Zhang Gongjin and Yang Wang over here."
The few people Qin Hu named were all former officials of the Yu Dynasty, and several of them had participated in the rebellion with Wang Shichong, and even participated in the killing of Yang Tong. These people must not be let go.
Zhang Xutuo led people to surround them, picked out the people named by Qin Hu one by one, and made them kneel down in front of Qin Hu's horse.
Qin Hu first said to Yang Wang: "You are a relative of the emperor and the country, and you should serve the country loyally. I didn't expect you to be shameless. Wang Shichong killed your relatives, but you knelt down to him. What is the difference between this and recognizing a thief as your father? I should have
You were cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, and people all over the world will regard you as an example."
"However, for the sake of the late emperor and Princess Chang'an, I will spare your life and demote you to a commoner from today on, and return to Chang'an with the army."
"Thank you, King Yan."
Qin Hu pointed at Duan Da with his riding whip: "Brother Zhang, throw this thief who has forgotten his ancestors, betrayed his country and betrayed his friends into the cavalry formation, and let the soldiers trample him to death to see who else is in his family.
, let’s clarify the canonical punishment together to serve as a warning to others.”
"As commanded."
Duan Da didn't expect Qin Hu to deal with him like this. He heard from the eldest grandson Anshi that Qin Hu didn't touch any of Dou Jiande's civil servants. Why was it different when he got here?
He also didn't think about it, Dou Jiande still had many counties in Hebei, and what else did Wang Shichong have now. Moreover, Dou Jiande's reputation had always been better than Wang Shichong's.
"King Yan, please spare your life, King Yan, please spare your life."
Zhang Xutuo didn't care about this, he just pulled him onto the horseback, whizzed away, and threw him into the cavalry formation of the Xiaoguo Army. The Xiaoguo Army's horse hooves flew and they trampled him into a pulp in no time.
"Pang Yu, Huo Shiju, Wang Long, and Zhang Gongjin." Qin Hu said with a sneer: "You are all people trusted by the late emperor. The late emperor entrusted you with the mission of rescuing Luoyang. You have no ability to deal with Li Mi, but Wang Shichong launched the plan together.
You rebelled and killed the loyal Lord Lu Chu. Today, you are full of evil and retribution has come. What else can you say?"
Pang Yu and Huo Shiju still wanted to argue, saying: "Your Highness, King Yan, when the world was in chaos and weapons broke out, it was Yu Shiji's responsibility and it had nothing to do with us. It had nothing to do with us. Wang Shichong rebelled, and we were also deceived by him. As for killing Yang Tong, we If you didn’t participate at all, your sin will not lead to death.”
Wang Long said: "Please show mercy to King Yan. At worst, we will be demoted to common people."
"You don't have this chance anymore. You traitors and traitors are making excuses and making excuses. This is even more shameful. If you come, drag them down and behead them in front of the army."
Immediately afterwards, the four men were pulled before the military formation and their heads were chopped off.
Qin Hu looked at the rest of the people and said, "Don't panic. All the people this king killed were rebellious officials and traitors. Let the rest of the people be forgotten. As long as you mend your ways, you will still be able to marry and marry in the future. Later, someone will Arrange your daily life, and when I finish arranging it, I will take you back to Guanzhong."
Qin Hu led the army back to the military camp without entering the city. Afterwards, he issued a proclamation to the whole world, announcing that Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande had been defeated. He urged all the princes in the world to quickly disarm and surrender to the imperial court.
He also gave orders to Qin Shubao, Qian Jie, Shen Guang, Mai Zhongcai, and Lei Yongji, ordering five of their troops to quickly assemble to Yecheng and sweep all Dou Jiande's territory. Those who surrendered would be given preferential treatment, and those who refused to surrender would be killed.
After finishing the matter, Qin Hu summoned Dou Jiande.
Dou Jiande was brought in tied up. Qin Hu asked him to see Wang Shichong's body: "King Xia, for the sake of the world, I even killed my father-in-law. Now that I let you die, you won't blame me anymore."
"I blame you for what you do when you become a king or lose a bandit." Dou Jiande, as the majestic leader of a country, has fallen to this point where even a small soldier can bully him. He has long since given up on living.
"It's just that, your majestic King Yan, you can't spare a meal and a meal before I, Dou Jiande, die. Ordinary people will die, and there will be a banquet of wine."
"That's natural. Come, bring the banquet."
Since Dou Jiande did not beg for mercy, Qin Hu admired him as a man and immediately ordered all the food and wine to be served, allowing Dou Jiande to drink as much as he wanted.
Dou Jiande was very drunk, and Qin Hu said: "King Xia, I respect you as a man, so I will leave you a whole body and wait for someone to come with a bowstring."
The soldiers brought a long bow, Qin Hu waved his hand, and several soldiers strangled Dou Jiande's neck with the bowstring. After a while, the kung fu man ran out of energy.
"Send an order to send the bodies of Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong back to Luoyang for burial."
The next day, the flag officer reported:
On May 8, Qin Hu entered Hulao Pass.
On May 13th, Zhou Faming, the commander-in-chief of Anlu County, Huangmei County and other four counties in Hubei Province, who claimed to be the King of Chu, surrendered to the Yan State and handed over all his troops to the command of Xu Shao and Pei Ju.
On May 18th, Qi Shanxing, the left prime minister of the Xia army who escaped, announced that he would dedicate Leshou County, Yecheng County, and Daming County to the Yan State and swore allegiance. Qin Hu ordered Lei Yongji to take over the delivery.
The remaining counties and counties in Hebei also announced their surrender one after another, and few resisted. Even if they did, they were quickly eliminated by Qin Shubao and others.
The key lies in Qi Shanxing's surrender. After his surrender, all the fleeing generals had no intention of fighting. Gao Yaxian, Liu Ya, Wang Xiaohu and others all abandoned their troops and fled.
On May 20th, Xu Shiji reported that Han Donggong Liu Heitai had disbanded his army and his whereabouts were unknown.
At this point, the entire territory of Hebei was basically peaceful.
