Chapter 574 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
It was a beautiful day on the day of the execution. The sky was clear and cloudless.
The golden grass danced in the wind, seeming to be celebrating this event happily.
Tens of thousands of Yuezhi people formed a huge overlapping circle outside this grassland, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes looked at the scene in the middle of the grassland with fear.
The two people who were cut in half were known to some Yuezhi nobles.
It was the Wushiluo father and son who were the largest merchants in the northwest of Qin State and were doing business between Qin and Rong.
They were great businessmen of the Qin State who were "higher than the feudal lords" and guests of the Yuezhi. They gave them a lot of information during this war, but their current outcome was not very good.
Two sturdy executioners strode forward. The hands and feet of Wu Shiluo and his son were tied and placed on a wooden chopping board to fix them.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to be cut in half."
"Whoever dares to betray Xiao Qin, you will chop off my head first and offer it to the general!
Although it was autumn, it was like the twelfth lunar month in the cold winter, making every Yuezhi person tremble when they saw the tragic scene.
As expected, the Yuezhi people under the grassland were severely shocked.
Xiao Chao will defeat the Xiongnu and regain the homeland of the Xia within two months!
The translator beside me translated it into Yuezhi language, held a large copper trumpet, and whispered it to the surrounding Yuezhi people.
Wu Shiluo looked at his frightened son and cried out, "I want to ride a galloping horse with you again, lead a yellow dog, and go into Jitou Mountain to chase cunning rabbits. How can I do that?"
A pair of loving eyes stared at the Yuezhi people. The Qin soldiers held broken crossbow arrows in their hands, and the sharp arrows shone brightly in the sun.
The nearby Marquis Shuangmixi also had his legs trembling and almost knelt on the ground.
In the distant grassland, the Qin army stood under the chariot, looking at the execution sites, and could hear the sounds carried by the wind.
And the longer time passes, the less likely it is that my plan to destroy the Huns will be exposed.
The Yuezhi people thought that those were cruel, but they didn't know that the Qin people didn't have such terrible punishments.
I will only obey him if he is weak.
Could it be that the Qin people want to massacre us all over there?
The translator followed with a low growl.
"It's very bad. The emperor of Xiao Qin hates betrayers the most. Those of you here today who have not betrayed will be punished like Chen Pingluo and his son. The entire clan will be cut in half!"
You know it's the Qin people demonstrating and intimidating.
Generally, Zhao Tuo also gathered the Yuezhi people to form a cavalry, relying on the strength of the Yuezhi people to deal with the Huns.
Nowadays, the Wushi still need to rely on us to deal with the Xiongnu. This is not proof that the Qin people's cavalry is powerful.
"Chen Pingluo and his son betrayed the emperor's trust. As small businessmen of the Qin State, they committed treason with the enemy. This is a small crime and they should be cut in half!"
The screams were shrill and shrill. There was no wind blowing under the grassland.
"Before today, there will be no more tens of thousands of Yuezhi people who dare to betray you, Xiao Qin. They will definitely not do it. I'm afraid if they do, they will be reported by their own clansmen."
After saying this, both father and son cried bitterly, regretting that they had betrayed Qin for the sake of profit because they were obsessed with wealth.
The executioner's face was as white as coal. He raised the ax again and cut Wu Thi Fang completely into two pieces.
When the Wushi defeated the Guishan tribe in Helan, they did not kill them randomly, but treated them with kindness. They pardoned all the surrenderers and retained part of the herdsmen's property. This approach was better than treating the victors on the grassland.
The punishment for the loser is less merciful.
Tens of thousands of Yuezhi people immediately looked at their fellow tribesmen around them with caution. At the same time, many people shouted in low voices, once again expressing their loyalty to Xiao Qin.
"Behead in half, split the chariot, and exterminate the Yi tribe!"
The executioner grinned at them, showing his yellowed teeth, and the heavy ax in his hand gleamed in the autumn sunshine.
As the translator spread the word.
Zhao Tuo stood under a temporarily repaired earth platform and announced to the tens of thousands of Yueshi people around him.
Chen Pingluo was chopped into two pieces on the spot, his intestines were scattered on the ground, and he howled a few times before dying.
Wu Shifang shouted and kept twisting her body.
Xiao Chao scolded him sternly, and then announced a new policy.
In the grasslands of that era, due to metal smelting problems, executions were often used as punishment.
"If you don't have any thoughts of betrayal, I'll let you be tied up under the grassland and let the sun burn you to death!
"It's too terrible, the Qin people are too cruel." After receiving the order, the two executioners raised their light giant axes and shouted. The axes fell heavily and struck hard at Chen Pingluo and his son who were lying under the chopping block.
That scene caused tens of thousands of Yuezhi people to explode immediately, and everyone screamed in fear.
"We surrender to Xiao Qin and will never dare to rebel for the rest of our lives!
The man was cut into two pieces at the waist. The prisoner who was cut in half was still alive and could still wail and struggle on the ground.
"You must betray Xiao Qin, then let ten thousand eagles peck you!
The shrill screams, the intestines and the severed corpses scattered all over the ground, stimulated the eyes of those Yuezhi people, making us fearful, trembling, and feeling hot all over our bodies.
"Don't move. If you chop it crookedly and fail to cut it off, you have to use another axe."
At this time, Zhao Tuo, who was in charge of presiding over the matter, finished reading out the charges against Chen Pingluo and his son.
Zhao Tuo, who was under the platform, had hot eyes and whispered to those people: "Is there anyone among you who is lying to Chen Ping and wants to betray your Qin country?"
Even closer, there were no Wushi cavalry galloping. Qin Jun nodded and said: "In this attack on the Xiongnu, the Guiyi Yuezhi will play a very small role. Problems are definitely allowed to occur and must be eliminated to ensure stability."
factor.
"How dare you betray Xiao Qin!" Wu Shifang trembled even more.
"Take Chen Pingluo and his son as an example to show the appearance of betrayers. Then they used weak bows and powerful crossbows to intimidate the tens of thousands of Yuezhi people, and then used the reward for reporting as bait and betrayal of the Yi people as a deterrent to completely eliminate those Yuezhi people.
The traitorous heart of the people."
And what happened today was that the Qin people were not showing our cruelty.
A man's voice immediately sounded.
As Sujiasha took the lead, the Marquis of Guishuang and Shuangmixi immediately followed, followed by the tens of thousands of Yuezhi people, either using poor Qin dialect or Yuezhi language, shouting in low voices.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In that case, who would dare to rebel against Qin? The voice of the Marquis of Guishuang was trembling.
Perhaps the Yuezhi people were too immersed in watching the scene of Xiao Chaoluo and his son being chopped in half. When we were about 100 meters away, a group of Wushi people wearing white armor and fully armed suddenly surrounded us.
Now that I haven't completely conquered the hearts of the Yuezhi people, the war to defeat the Xiongnu will be put on the agenda soon.
But Wu Thi Fang knew that it was because I twisted around when the ax fell, causing it to cut crookedly. Or maybe I was weak because of my age. The ax hit me completely, and most of my body was not stuck together.
With.
After that, not many Shaoyue people felt that they were capable again. Secretly, they thought that the reason why they were defeated by the Wushi was because their equipment was like this, and the other was because they fell into the Wushi's cunning plan. Did they expect that the Qin people would
We were caught off guard when we attacked Helan. Otherwise, how could we, tens of thousands of Yuezhi cavalry, lose so slowly in a head-on battle.
We came armed, but were surrounded by Xiao Chao.
"If no one accuses you of betraying Xiao Qin, once it is verified, you will get the property that the traitor has lost and will be rewarded with ten oxen and horses! If there is no false accusation, he will be punished instead!
The tens of thousands of Yuezhi people swore and swore, and each one screamed excitedly, expressing their loyalty to Qin.
There is nothing special about the grassland people except that they are extremely afraid of the weak.
Therefore, the Qin army must seize the time. "Those who rebel against Qin will die!"
Young executioners on the grassland use flogging, caning and the like. The cruelest ones include tying the prisoner with a rope in front of a horse, dragging the prisoner to death, or letting a group of horses trample him to death.
.
The bright red blood stirred up the golden weeds in the ground, and the shrill screams broke the beautiful autumn scenery.
Li Shiqi chuckled: "The general is worried this time.
As he said that, Qin Jun raised his eyes and looked around, surrounded by a golden grassland.
It was just when the Yuezhi people were most frightened.
Xiao Chao'e, who was broken into two halves, had not yet breathed her last. She struggled and howled for a long time on the ground with the lower half of her body, and then she gradually regained consciousness.
"That's not to betray you, Xiao Qin!"
Sugatha stood in the crowd and watched the scene with enthusiasm.
Not to mention the Qin soldiers, who were holding halberds and swords, stood with their heads held high, ready to attack at any time.
The time has come to April.
In two months' time, that grassland will retreat into the hot and cold winter, which is a season suitable for fighting.
Being pointed at by Qin Nu, pointed at by swords and halberds, in the middle of the ground, Chen Pingluo and his son had not just been cut in half to death.
With that kind of thinking, some people became more stable and wondered if Xiao Chao was actually that scary.
