Chapter 133 Casting Into a Jingguan
There was a strong smell of blood outside the city of Changshe, and the corpses of the Yellow Turbans were everywhere. Even the Han soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles could not help but faintly feel nauseous after witnessing this scene in front of them.
But Huangfusong waved his hand: "Take off the head of the Yellow Turban Bandit."
The surrounded officers and soldiers scattered into countless squads, rushed into the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, and cut off the head of the yellow scarf bandit with the ring knife on his waist. This made Liu Ye feel a little puzzled, why do you want the head of the Yellow Turban thief? But since Huangfusong ordered it to come down, just do it.
When Cao Cao on the side saw this scene, he suddenly realized.
"It turns out that Huangfulang is going to build a temple in Beijing."
Xiahou Dun nodded: "General Lang is probably not trying to make a splash in battle, but to frighten the Yellow Turban bandits."
The so-called Jingguan sounds nice, but it is actually a very cruel thing, that is, the heads of dead people are poured together with soil to form a pyramid-shaped tower, which is full of heads of dead people. This is the so-called Jingguan.
Generally speaking, the Jingguan was formed by the generals of the victorious side to show off their illustrious military exploits. However, although there have been generals who have made Jingguan throughout the ages, they are rare. After all, it is ominous to kill prisoners, let alone cut off the heads of defeated soldiers and cast them into Jingguan.
However, Huangfusong made up his mind to cut off the heads of all the yellow turban thieves who surrendered, and also cut off the heads of the yellow turban thieves who died in battle. Except for the more than 10,000 yellow turban thieves who escaped, they got a total of 80,000 Yu first level.
When 80,000 people stand in front of you, you will feel the shock from the bottom of your heart. When 80,000 heads are placed in front of you, no matter how daring you are, you will feel like sitting on pins and needles.
A row of soldiers were nodding their heads, and they were arranged in dozens of piles. After counting the piles, a cavalry rode up to Liu Ye.
"Report to Sima! There are 7,940 yellow scarf heads in the first pile."
"Report to Sima! The second pile of yellow scarf heads is 8,130."
"Report to Sima."
One by one cavalry pawns rushed from the mountains of heads to Liu Ye, reporting the number of heads, while the knife and pen officials on the side stepped up to record, looking at the numbers engraved on the bamboo slips, the upper and lower lips Toss gently. After a while, the swordsman came to Liu Ye's ear, and whispered out a number.
Liu Ye nodded slightly, turned around, and behind him was Huang Fusong with a helmet on and a serious face.
He said loudly: "Report to General Lang, there are more than 84,700 yellow scarf heads in total, please give instructions to General Lang."
Huangfusong nodded slightly, and drew out his long sword: "Make the head of the Yellow Turban Bandit into a Jingguan!"
Thousands of soldiers started working immediately, among them were some craftsmen, who piled up the heads of the yellow turban thieves, and kept pouring the soil that had been excavated before into the heads of the yellow turban thieves to fill their heads. and the space between the head.
Thousands of heads were piled up, and the sand was constantly covering the faces of the Yellow Turban Bandits, as if a pile of heads of terracotta warriors had been stacked together.
The Han army was only responsible for the physical work of throwing the heads, while the craftsmen poured the soil to fill in the gaps between the heads. At the same time, Jingguan gradually took on the shape of a pyramid.
As the Jingguan gradually took shape, Huangfusong ordered: "Bring the thief Shuai Bocai up."
As soon as the words fell, several Han soldiers brought Bocai up. Bocai's hands were tied behind his back with hemp ropes, and the armor on his body had already been stripped off. It was mud, his face was filthy, his lips were pale but there were not many wounds on his body.
"Kneel down!"
The Han army behind him yelled and kicked him on the leg. Bo Cai knelt on the ground with a thud, struggling to stand up, but two big and round Han soldiers pressed his shoulders tightly with both hands, and his knees almost fell. Kneel to pieces.
"Bocai, take a good look!"
Seeing that Bo Cai was not being honest, Huangfu Song sneered and signaled to the Han troops on both sides. A strong man grabbed Bo Cai's chin with one hand and lifted it up.
"ho"
Bo, who resisted violently, saw the scene in front of him, and immediately stopped moving.
Thousands of heads piled up together and were buried by the constantly rising sand, and the eyes of the yellow scarf thief were covered by the sand, forming a rudimentary shape of a pyramid.
"Old thief Huangfu, how dare you use a certain soldier under your command to form a capital, my commander!"
Bo Cai was furious, his face flushed red, he gritted his teeth at Huangfusong, but was interrupted by Huangfusong's loud laugh.
Huangfusong's sneering stopped abruptly, and he stared at Bo Cai with a cold face: "Bo thief, the general will not only use the heads of 80,000 yellow scarf thieves to cast the capital, but also put your head on it."
The main body of the Jingguan is the head of the defeated soldiers, and the head of the leader of the defeated side must be placed at the top, and the top of this Jingguan is naturally Bocai's head.
Bo Cai's eyes were wide open, and the Han soldiers behind him pulled out the ring-shoulders around their waists, pressed Bo Cai's neck and swiped forcefully, his big head fell to the ground immediately, and blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain .
Huangfusong waved his hand lightly, and immediately a personal guard lifted Bocai's head from the ground, and strode towards Jingguan. At this time, the main body of the Jingguan has basically been purchased, and the guard climbed to the top of the Jingguan with both hands and feet, and inserted Bo Cai's head into the top of the Jingguan. He did not rest in peace, there was anger, surprise, and regret in his eyes.
"Falling Monument."
After Jingguan was cast, a mason who had been arranged in advance had already made a stone tablet with engraved characters.
"On the 16th day of the seventh month of the first year of Zhongping, Huang Fusong, the Zuo Zhonglang general of the Han Dynasty, together with other generals, defeated the Yellow Turban bandit army by 100,000 men, and built a Jingguan outside the city of Changshe."
The tall Jingguan stands in the wilderness, and there are countless distorted faces hidden under the loess. Since then, the surrounding area has become very desolate, and even few people pass by. However, after this battle, although later Yellow Turban thieves rose again in the Yuzhou area, but no Yellow Turban army fled to the Changshe area again.
After annihilating all 100,000 yellow scarves under Bocai's command, Huangfusong ordered the whole army to rest in Changshe City. At the same time, he wrote a letter of victory and sent cavalry to report to Luoyang on fast horses.
And Huangfusong even stated in his letter that he wanted to lead his army to Nanyang, join forces with Zhu Jun to attack Wancheng, and wipe out Zhang Mancheng's troops who were rampant.
However, the order from the imperial court came down very quickly, and Huangfusong was caught off guard.
"The Son of Heaven has an order. Dong Zhuo is not effective in suppressing the bandits. He specially ordered Huangfu Song to bring the victorious army and march northward."
