Chapter 399 Hatred and Madness
Chapter 398: Hatred and Madness
For Xiang Yu's massacre, Xiang Yu's soldiers seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and they waved their butcher knives at the surrendered Luoyang soldiers and civilians without any hesitation.
After a while, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who kept cursing were killed, and then tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army targeted the people in the city. For a while, the screams for mercy in the west of Luoyang City shook the sky and the earth.
Xiang Yu ignored the cries of the people and said coldly to himself, facing north: "Uncle, Yu'er swears that he will avenge you, I will."
Xiang Yu lost his father when he was young. He was raised by his grandfather Xiang Yan and his uncle Xiang Liang. Xiang Yan was very strict with Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu rarely felt the warmth in Xiang Yan's place, but Xiang Liang completely replaced the kindness in Xiang Yu's heart. The position of the father.
Xiang Liang's death in battle was a fatal blow to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was grieving and constantly blaming himself.
Xiang Yu locked himself up alone and didn't eat or drink for the first three days. He couldn't forgive himself. If he hadn't been too arrogant, his uncle would definitely not have died.
After blaming himself, Xiang Yu was filled with hatred. He hated the generals besieging Xiang Liang, Cao Liusun, Qin Hao as the commander-in-chief, and Yuan Shu who ordered the arrows to be fired.
In the midst of hatred, a voice told Xiang Yu that since the people of Luoyang became an obstacle to his revenge, he might as well kill them all.
So Xiang Yu ordered the massacre.
People were wailing everywhere in the west of Luoyang City. When Yu Shilan, dressed as a bodyguard, arrived, she was shocked when she saw the tragic scene in front of her.
“Shao Yu, you are crazy, they are just ordinary people who are powerless.”
Shi Lan turned around and slapped Xiang Yu in the face, trying to wake him up, but Xiang Yu laughed bloodthirsty instead.
"Luoyang is just the beginning. The Yuan family, the Qin family, and the Liu family. Anyone who disobeys me will die. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed. Uncle, have you seen it? Yu'er has avenged you."
Zhang Liang and Zhang Jiao originally thought that Xiang Liang's death in battle would make Xiang Yu mature, but they did not expect that it would make Xiang Yu fall into hatred. At this time, Xiang Yu had already lost his mind due to hatred.
“Is this the same Shaoyu I know?”
Shi Lan looked at Xiang Yu who was like a murderous god, and his heart seemed to be bleeding. At the same time, he was more determined to cooperate with Qin Hao to prevent Xiang Yu from continuing to harm the people of the world.
Luoyang, East Gate.
"Yang Gun, surrender. There is no point in continuing to fight. It will only cause more casualties. Look at the soldiers around you."
Zhang Jiao personally came to the front of the battle to persuade them to surrender, just to reduce some losses.
Looking at the desperate faces around him, Yang Gun's heart seemed to be constantly being hit hard, and his whole person seemed to be deflated.
Yang Gun walked to the front of the formation, looked at Zhang Jiao, and said: "I can order the surrender, but you must promise to treat the Luoyang soldiers and civilians well. They are all innocent, and they only resisted after being bewitched by me."
“I promise you.” Zhang Jiao nodded.
Yang Gun saw the horizontal knife on his neck. The Han soldiers were shocked when they saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
“Don’t come here.”
Everyone was not convinced at first, and then they saw Yang Gun knelt down and cried bitterly, saying: "My late emperor, I am incompetent. I have seen the great man fall to this point, but there is nothing I can do. I will come down here to apologize to you." ”
Yang Gun was about to commit suicide with a sword, but at this moment, bursts of screams came from the west of the city, making Yang Gun hesitate.
An orderly soldier hurried over and shouted: "The great virtuous master is in trouble, General Xiang Yu has ordered the massacre of the city."
"What? I never gave Xiang Yu such an order, how dare he."
Zhang Jiao's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.
Everyone else at the scene, whether they were the Yellow Turban Army or the Han Army, were all in an uproar after hearing the news. They had only one thought in their minds, that is, Xiang Yu was crazy.
As soon as he heard that Xiang Yu was going to massacre the city, Yang Gun didn't even bother to commit suicide. He roared at Zhang Jiao angrily: "Zhang Jiao, is this what you said about treating the people of Luoyang well?" "I..." Zhang Jiao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to do. how to explain.
"Brothers, the left and right are just dead, fighting against the yellow scarf thieves."
“Yes, eighteen years later, he is a good man again.”
The Han army, which was already preparing to surrender, immediately became agitated after hearing the news about Xiang Yu's massacre of the city, and everyone clamored to die with the Yellow Turbans.
Yang Gun no longer believed Zhang Jue and ordered: "The whole army will obey the order and retreat to the inner city to defend the city."
A huge city like Luoyang is divided into an outer city and an inner city. Although the outer city has been lost, there is still an inner city for Yang Gun to hold on to.
After receiving Yang Gun's order, the thousands of remaining Han troops seemed to have a backbone, fighting and retreating towards the inner city.
“Report, there’s a fire in the grain depot.”
“Reporter, there is also a fire in the equipment warehouse.”
“report…”
Yang Gun had long been prepared not to leave any supplies for the Yellow Turbans. Now that the Yellow Turbans were carrying out massacres again, Yang Gun naturally burned them all.
Looking at the fire not far away and listening to the screams that continued, Zhang Jiao felt that suddenly the whole world was spinning. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he fell to the ground.
“Big brother.”
“Master.”
Zhang Liang and a group of Qu commanders rushed over to help Zhang Jue up, and then heard Zhang Jue weakly say: "Go quickly and ask Duke Yan to stop Xiang Yu."
After saying this, Zhang Jiao completely fainted.
Zhang Liang knew Xiang Yu's abnormal behavior without even thinking about it. He must have not gotten over Xiang Liang's death, but instead got deeper and deeper into it.
Zhang Liang also didn’t expect that Xiang Yu didn’t even have the ability to bear this, and now the only person who can make Xiang Yu sober is Xiang Yu’s grandfather Xiang Yan.
After Xiang Yan got the news, he was shocked and rushed to the west of the city. When he arrived, Xiang Yu had already killed three waves of envoys sent by Zhang Liang.
“Grandpa, you are here.”
Seeing Xiang Yan coming, Xiang Yu went up to him with a smile and said, "Look, my grandson has killed many enemies."
Looking at his already crazy grandson, Xiang Yan didn't say much nonsense, because he knew that even if he said it, Xiang Yu wouldn't be able to listen.
Xiang Yan knocked Xiang Yu unconscious with a blow of his hand knife, and then ordered the massacre to stop. But massacre is like taking drugs, once it starts, it cannot be stopped.
The Yellow Turban soldiers who were robbing and **** would not listen to Xiang Yan after they had tasted the sweetness. Anyway, they were just following orders.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Xiang Yan had no choice but to send out troops to suppress it in order to prevent Sun Tzu's evil deeds from continuing to expand.
Finally, after nearly a thousand thugs were killed, the massacre stopped completely.
According to final and incomplete statistics after the war, nearly 100,000 people, including surrendered troops, died in the massacre from the time Xiang Yu issued the massacre order to the end of the massacre.
In addition, thousands of good girls were raped, and countless others were injured, so the hatred of Luoyang people towards Xiang Yu almost reached the sky.
The second watch is at twelve o'clock and the third watch is at twelve o'clock. Everything happens for a reason, and even a cruel person like Xiang Yu would not issue a massacre order for no reason. And now Xiang Yu's foreshadowing has been almost written, and it's time to end him.
