Chapter 419 Death is like a lamp going out


    ?The sun has climbed into the sky, spreading light all over the earth. The darkness and bloodshed last night seemed to have passed, and hope and beauty returned to the world again.


    ??South of Yong''an City, on the side of the Fen River, Zhang Lie had just finished fighting an ambush, but immediately received a message from the scouts and was about to have an encounter.


    Zhang Lie found it a bit tricky.


    Fortunately, we still saw the smoke. The army coming from the south of the city did not directly reach twenty miles away, but it should not be far away. Twenty miles is about half a day, and with the smoke and dust seen starting from this time in the early morning, it is predicted that this army plans to rush to Yong''an County today...


    Zhang Lie''s head started to spin rapidly, and he ordered the scouts to investigate again. At the same time, he also told the operation to be more secretive so as not to be discovered. Then he arranged for personnel to go to Yong''an to report the news.


    Zhang Lie looked around and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and clean up these corpses!" The remains of the White Wave Army on the road need to be cleaned up, but what is a bit troublesome is the strong smell of blood...


    "Hey! Don''t throw it into the river! You idiot!" Zhang Lie turned his head and saw someone dragging the body and was about to throw it into the river. He quickly stopped him, "use your brain! Throw it down like this, and it will flow downstream. If we go, won’t all our work in one night be in vain? Drag it to the back and dig a hole and bury it!”


    Zhang Lie rubbed the blood stain that had seeped into the ground with his feet. He found that the blood stain had been combined with the loess and could not be cleaned up at all. He grabbed a handful of loess nearby and covered it, but found that there was less loess cover. The dampness shows up, and it covers a lot, but a large piece bulges out, making it even more unsightly...


    Tsk tsk, oops!


    What should we do about this?


    ××××××××××××××××


    ??In Yong''an City, the overall situation has basically been decided. Some of the remaining Baibo troops have become insignificant. They are gradually culled under the house-to-house searches brought by Fei Qian''s troops.


    Some of the surviving people in Yong''an City spontaneously followed Fei Qian''s soldiers carrying some wooden sticks and kitchen knives. Some Baibo soldiers tore off the yellow cloth strips on their heads and took off their armor in an attempt to fool them. They passed the test, but they were all recognized by these people one by one, and then they were beaten to death with random sticks...


    ??The first thing Fei Qian did when he entered the city was to go to the Yong''an warehouse, but what he saw made Fei Qian very disappointed. The grain storage in the public treasury is basically empty. There were originally four granaries, but now three are empty. The other one is not full, and a lot has been taken away. It is estimated that if the Baibo Army hadn''t left some grains here, These people guard the retreat to Luliang Mountain, and this granary will be moved to nothing.


    All the money was looted, and not a single weapon or armor was left. They must have been taken away by the white waves heading south.


    Even some of the stored ropes, barrels and the like were taken away, leaving only some large pieces of wood, green bricks, tiles, iron blocks and other construction materials, which had no direct use for the White Wave Army, or Those that were of no use for a while were left in the public treasury.


    Fei Qian walked around in the public treasury and shook his head. It was like locusts passing through the border...


    "Send some people to seal it. There are still many places that need to be used. It would be good to have some left." Fei Qian sighed and said to Huang Cheng.


    ? Huang Cheng nodded silently, without saying anything, and summoned a few soldiers to guard the public treasury. Perhaps seeing the scene in front of him and remembering the Yellow Turban that brought trouble to Jingxiang, Huang Cheng''s expression was very heavy.


    A little further south along the street of Gongku is the county government office of Yongan County.


    As soon as he walked to the county government office, Fei Qian felt the "enthusiasm" of Bai Bojun. The area near the county government office was covered with gifts left by Bai Bojun for Fei Qian. The walls, steps, and thresholds were covered with gifts. A pile here, a pile of "yellow and white stuff" there.


    I don’t know what kind of psychology these Baibo troops came from. Maybe they are the same as those who visited and traveled in later generations. In any case, they had to carve the words "so-and-so came here" in a prominent place...


    Most of the Baibo Army can’t write, but that doesn’t stop these guys from coming here to urinate and leave their mark in the solemn place that should have been the state power...


    ?Perhaps this kind of behavior is the only way these people can prove that they have resisted the regime of this country and that they have survived in this world?


    ??The gate of the county government office has been damaged long ago, and it hangs slantly, like a broken door curtain.


    Fei Qian avoided the dense minefield at the door and just walked into the county government compound with a frown on his face. He was immediately hit by a more pungent rotten smell.


    Even though it was still cold in spring, the corpse had not been collected for many days and gradually began to rot, emitting a disgusting smell.


    In the county government office, some naked soldiers died in the hall as if they were guarding them. They should have had some clothes and armor on their bodies, but they were probably stripped off immediately. Their skin was exposed, and there were large pieces of black corpses. Spots appeared, swarms of flies hovered over them, and maggots crawled in and out of the rotting wounds. Fei subconsciously wanted to raise his sleeve to cover his mouth and nose, but he put down his hand halfway, shook his head, held back his breath, and walked into the lobby.


    ??The county government lobby was originally used for making announcements, hearing cases, and handling political affairs. It was the place that best reflected the dignity of the court, but now in the lobby...


    It’s terrible.


    Several corpses of young and old were lying on one side. A middle-aged man was tied to a pillar in the lobby and his throat was cut. A young woman died naked beside the stone steps...


    This is a family...


    “Is this the Yong’an County Magistrate?” Fei Qian was unsure.


    Huang Cheng also frowned: "...I don''t know, but judging from the situation, it''s probably the case."


    Fei Qian remained silent for a long time before saying, "Let me bury him generously."


    Huang Cheng responded.


    A person''s death is like a lamp going out, and all the glory and wealth are in vain. Perhaps this county magistrate once thought of doing something great and achieving great fame, but now he has become a piece of carrion without even leaving his name.


    A soldier ran in from the outside and accidentally stepped on a gift left by the Baibo Army. He subconsciously wanted to kick it away, but when he saw Fei Qian coming, he couldn''t do anything too big. action, he had no choice but to endure the report: "The captain of Zhang County in the south of the city sent someone to report that all the Baibo bandits who fled south from Yong''an were killed, and none of them escaped the net! It was also said that a group of about 800 soldiers was found twenty miles away, heading towards Come here!”


    Eight hundred, less than a thousand people...


    ??White Wave Army?


    What are you doing here?


    The late Lord ordered his chamberlain to help Kong Ming up. He covered his tears with one hand and held his hand with the other, saying, "I am dead now. I have a confidant to tell you."


    Kong Ming asked: “What is the holy edict?”


    The late Lord wept and said: "If you are ten times as talented as Cao Pi, you will definitely be able to stabilize the country and determine major events. If your heir can assist you, then assist him; if he is not talented, you can be the master of Chengdu."


    …


    …


    …


    This is the last time Liu Daer cried...


    …


    …


    OK, here comes the question:


    Excuse me...


    1. Did Big Er really cry that time?


    2. Did Zhuge really believe it that time?


    …


    …I’ll talk about it after I think about it…
