Upon hearing this, Wang Huan and others were extremely shocked.

They also saw the appearance of the Western Army.

Extremely strong and strong, filled with murderous intent.

The armor and equipment are also extremely powerful, far superior to their soldiers and horses.

As a result... the famous Mr. Xiaozhong of the Zhong family actually said something inferior to Liang Shanjun in person!

"Do not spread this word outside.

Zhong Shidao said in a deep voice:"We can only report it to the imperial court and see how the imperial court handles it.""

Liangshan agreed to the peace talks and conditionally released nine military envoys and nearly 100,000 troops.

In the eyes of the imperial court, Wang Lun was not tough enough and not ambitious enough.

In this case, first stabilize Liangshan and use the Western Army as the main force. Privy Council Tong Guan was asked to lead the troops and destroy Fang La, who was the greatest threat, with a thunderous force.

Zhong Shidao also knew why the imperial court chose Fang La.

The main reason was to restore order in the two Zhejiang provinces, which is a place with important financial resources.

For example, Zhao Zhao Zhao Gou fled south from Yangzhou. Some people suggested that he go to Huguang and Tanzhou, which is Changsha, so that he can escape to Guangdong and Guangxi more easily.

However, Zhang Jun and others firmly opposed it and asked Zhao Gou to go to Jiankang, which is Nanjing. The land is livable for kings, and it is connected to the two Huaihe Rivers. To defend the river, you must defend the Huaihe River. If the two Huaihe Rivers are there, the Central Plains can be restored at any time. Under the conditions at the time, this was the best choice.

But Zhao Gou was afraid. After Yangzhou, he became a frightened bird. , the closer you are to the Jin people, the less safe it is.

Running to Huguang is indeed a bad idea. It was a newly developed area in the Song Dynasty, and there was no wealth for future generations at all. The population was insufficient to support the imperial court.

Zhejiang and Zhejiang became the best choice.

Firstly, it is far, and secondly, you can enter the sea at any time.

Thirdly, the place is rich.

During the Huizong period, Fang La occupied nearly half of the territory of Liangzhe Road, which was a great threat and would corrupt the place.

It was an important source of wealth.

If Liangshan hadn't suddenly emerged, It was originally supposed to be a crusade against Fang La.

In the real historical time and space, Fang La revolted and occupied Hangzhou and was defeated by the Western Army soon after.

The secondary reason was that Hua Shigang could continue...

Regarding this, Zhong Shidao was quite speechless.

However, the old-school generals adhere to the tradition that military men are not allowed to interfere in politics. No matter how dissatisfied they are with the government, Zhongshidao will not speak out if it does not involve military affairs.

He can only report his judgment on Liangshan's military affairs to the court..

The Liangshan Army is very strong, even ridiculously strong!

The soldiers of the Western Army were extremely arrogant at the beginning. After all, they did not suffer against the Xixia cavalry. Not only did they despise the Liangshan Army, but they also faced the Song Dynasty's Hebei Forbidden Army and Jingying. The Forbidden Army and the Western Army all looked down upon them.

However, after several hours of confrontation with the Liangshan Cavalry a few miles away, it was clear to see that the morale and confidence of the Western Army were declining. The military formation on the opposite side , chilling aura, armor, horses, weapons... almost everything is superior to the Western Army.

The soldiers who have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time still have an accurate basic judgment of the situation.

The enemy is strong or not.

This battle Whether it can be fought or not, and what the winning rate is, you have a good idea of ​​what the victory rate is. Whether a battle can be fought is partly because both sides feel that their side has a chance of winning, but before the war they felt unsure, with low morale and lack of self-confidence, so how could they win?

Wang Huan and others also looked behind them with strange thoughts.

Liangshan's over 10,000 cavalrymen were still in position to supervise the prisoner release operation.

The copper coins, refined iron, and medicinal materials given by the imperial court had long been transported to Liangshan. By the way.

The imperial court is relatively single at this point, and they are not afraid that Wang Lun will collect things and not let them go. After all, Wang Lun now has a big business and has always had an excellent reputation.

The remaining nearly 40,000 people are all sallow and thin, so even so, they have to leave. Their steps were fast, as if there were evil ghosts following them behind them.

In the recent months of war, these ten-jiedu troops have been completely defeated.

Even if they can be reorganized on the surface, they will not be able to do so in the short term. The army was drawn to the battlefield.

If the three armies seize their strength, how can we fight in the future?

At the very least, if these people heard that they were going to attack Liangshan again, they would probably surrender on the battlefield or directly mutiny.

Wang Huan and others have been staring at Liangshan's cavalry array, with complex expressions in their eyes.

If the Liangshan Army is strong as a whole, the cavalry is unprecedentedly powerful!

This cavalry battle also left a deep impression on these veterans and warriors!

Wang Huan and others had no intention of refuting Master Zhong's teachings.

The main reason is that they also have the same view.

The Liangshan Cavalry is indeed the strongest right now!

At least they have seen Liao soldiers, Xixia soldiers, and Song soldiers. No cavalry from any army can suppress the Liangshan cavalry at this time!

……

"The boss has released all the prisoners."

Seeing the last group of prisoners walking toward the Western Army Cavalry, the stern-faced Pei Xuan also held a fist beside Wang Lun and said in a deep voice:"If we go according to the arrangements of the boss, the execution can be carried out now."

Pei Xuan, as always, had an iron complexion. When he spoke to Wang Lun, he did not force himself to show any respectful expression, nor did he deliberately flatter, joke, or apologize.

Even many generals were more reserved and polite in front of Wang Lun. , or even a little flattery.

But Pei Xuan remained as usual, and for this alone, he was highly praised by many heroes in Liangshan.

Pei Xuan, who usually has little sense of presence, after all, no one wants to deal with him.

Wang Lun is the most satisfied with the arrangement that the Military Justice Department is in the hands of Pei Xuan.

This person is really selfless, and he is not the kind of self-righteous self-righteous person. Some people are indeed iron, but not selfless, but kind-hearted. Like iron.

Judgments and decisions are based entirely on subjective impressions. It is really not good to fall into the hands of such people.

Because corrupt officials still collect money anyway, this kind of people believe in justice and have an iron heart. If they are self-righteous and careless in investigating the case, then It is extremely easy to cause unjust, false and wrong cases.

Pei Xuan is not like that. The iron face is the iron face, and the investigation and handling of the case also follows the process set by Wang Lun. The iron face is only discussed after verifying the facts. Only in this way can everyone truly respect him.

Just a ruthless person At best, he can only be regarded as a cruel official.

The officers and soldiers who were captured before were screened by people led by Pei Xuan.

After more than 20 days of checking, a list of prisoners with less than a thousand people to be executed was finalized. More than 10,000 people were sentenced to hard labor.

Most of them were on the list of people to be released.

The detention of more than 10,000 people was notified to the court in advance, so it was not a big deal.

For the court , these small soldiers were originally just cannon fodder.

However, it didn’t cost much to redeem them into an organized army of more than 100,000 people. In addition, due to the issue of face, the peace talks were concluded quite quickly. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

If less than a thousand people are executed, and ten thousand people serve hard labor, they can be regarded as invisible in the eyes of the court.

"Pei Tiju, it’s time to take action."

"Yes, the boss!"

Pei Xuan looked solemn and was not proud of enforcing the law in front of more than 100,000 soldiers.

After all, he was facing nearly a thousand lives, and the attitude of the military judge should be humble and cautious.

After Wang Lun gave the order, the execution began.

As Pei The order was given.

The gallows stakes were erected one after another, like large bushes suddenly appearing in the plains.

Short ropes hung down, and the knotted rope loops made people shudder.

The brigade was sentenced to death. The prisoners were dragged over in groups of two.

These people were crying, screaming, begging for mercy, with tears streaming down their faces and trembling all over. Few of them could walk on their own.

No one sympathized with them.

This was the case when officers and soldiers were crossing the border. People are the most hateful.

They are extremely vicious and bully men and dominate women.[]

Looting people's wealth is no longer a trivial matter.

Insulting women and killing innocent people, most of these people have lives on hand, or they have kidnapped people for ransom, burned people's houses, or insulted women.

They are all extremely sinful.

Even if no one is killed, what he did should be punished by death!

……

".What is the other side doing?"

Zhongshidao, Wang Yuan, Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong and others were all surprised.

Wang Huan turned around and looked at it and said:"This is a criminal soldier who was convicted after being captured. He said he committed burning, killing and looting. Did he do it? They were less evil, and they were sentenced to death after the Liangshan trial."

All the Jiedu envoys looked ugly.

This was what Liangshan had done intentionally.

If he brings troops next time and fails to enforce military discipline, he will be sentenced to death.

This was the announcement made by Liangshan when they left the country. Jiedushi all heard it. He didn't take it seriously at first.

At this time, he saw a large number of gallows erected.

The cries of many prisoners were loud, and everyone was shocked.

Zhong Shidao was calm.

The salary of the Forbidden Army is not low. , the troops of the Western Army come from their own hometown, and military discipline has always been good.

However, it is inevitable to seize the opportunity, and the faces of many officers and soldiers of the Western Army have become ugly.

By this time, one by one, the prisoners who were about to be executed (by King Li) He was still dragged to the gallows like a dead dog.

Hanging was also a common punishment in the Song Dynasty. There were basically two types of death penalty, beheading or hanging.

Hangings in the Song Dynasty also had gallows, usually in the shape of a cross or a triangle. , I’m afraid many people don’t know this.

In the Sui Dynasty, the imperial law established hanging, and after beheading became two normal forms of death penalty, hanging was carried out with this instrument of torture. The person was fixed on the rack, with his hands horizontally, and a rope The feet are tied securely, and some are tied to their feet, while others are flailed to death. In addition, someone is holding them down to prevent the prisoner from struggling desperately.

The hanging method uses a rope to wrap around the neck, tie the slip knot, and then pull hard, so that the carotid artery is strangled more and more. Tight until the prisoner holds his breath.

This method is more labor-intensive, so later on, a slip knot was often used to tie the neck, and then a long wooden stick was used to spin in circles until the prisoner was strangled to death.

This method was much more labor-saving.

In the Qing Dynasty, The method is to hang the prisoner with a bow string, or to fix the prisoner, and pull the rope on both sides to hang him to death. It is quite unscrupulous.

Here in Liangshan, long poles and rope nooses are set up, and the prisoner is hanged to death.

In comparison, the time is much longer. , and Duojun was in pain.

At this time, not only the armies on both sides were watching, but the wilderness, river embankments, and river beaches on both sides were already filled with people from nearby states and counties.

Many of them were victims who had been tortured by these officers and soldiers. At this time, he was waiting with a look of anticipation on his face.
