He flew over the human hell of a "slaughterhouse."

In the icy gaze of several Qiu Sha Jun commanders, he flew to Chong Xuan Zhu Liang's side.

All that my eyes can see is carnage. All that my ears can hear are cries of sorrow.

The man had a sorrowful expression, but only in front of Chongxuan Zhu Liang who stood aloft, did he stand straight with his spine erect. He looked rather imposing.

“Who are you” Chongxuan asked Zhuliang.

"This old man is from the Yang kingdom... therefore, I am Huang Yixing, the magistrate of Chiwei County in the Yang kingdom!" The elderly scholar bowed in response.

>

After a brief bow, he quickly said: “General, your military prowess is divine! Today’s battle resulted in the annihilation of the enemy nation, a feat worthy of renown throughout the land! However, in warfare, killing and being killed are inevitable. But massacring those who surrender is most unfortunate! Throughout history, surrendering soldiers have been granted clemency, this is the proper way of war. General, why issue an order to slaughter This old man cannot bear to see you tarnished with such a dark name, thus I dare to risk my life and plead with you!”

"Since you know me, you should know my name." Chong Xuan Zhu Liang still held Yang Jiande's head in his hand. Upon hearing this, he simply said indifferently: "Can anything be more wicked than the title 'Butcher'"

Huang Yixing's gaze unconsciously turned to Yang Jiande. Under a head full of blood, Yang Jiande's wide-open eyes seemed to be staring directly at him.

He instinctively avoided eye contact, only stammering, “General, Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life…”

Zhong Xuanchu interrupted him: "Heaven also has the power to kill! These soldiers dare to defy Heavenly troops, how can they not be killed to uphold Heaven's majesty"

“The Yang Court has been weak for a hundred years, three generations have honored each other! In the end, it was met with an invading army. General, what can we do” Huang Yixing couldn't hide his anger: “Soldiers defend their homes and country, what crime have they committed On the battlefield, everyone is just fighting for their own cause, vying for life and death. Now that victory or defeat has been decided, Commander! The butcher knife should be stopped!”

"You mean I, Chongxuan, am an unrighteous leader who invaded this land" Chongxuan narrowed his eyes.

“I would never have such an intention!” Huang Yixing pleaded earnestly: “Yangting has decayed, and Lord Yang has lost his virtue, leading to this day's deserved punishment! But the people of Yang are innocent! For generations, the alliance between Qi and Yang has remained strong, with the people of Yang never straying from their commitment.”

“You people,” Chong Xuan pointed at him with a disdainful flick of his finger. “Have always been arrogant and self-righteous, considering yourselves rich and noble! You think the glory of Qi is your glory, and its strength is your strength. But you are nothing but parasitic vines clinging to the nation of Qi! Now that the great tree is clearing away the vines obstructing its growth, do you still feel honored”

Huang Yixing was stunned for a long time before he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Today, the country has been destroyed, and the Yang clan's ancestral temple is extinct. This may be heaven's will! However..."

His voice rose gradually: “With the fall of the Sun Dynasty, this land becomes Qi territory. The people of the Sun Dynasty become citizens of Qi. Where is the logic in slaughtering one's own people Moreover, to the north lies Jing Mu, with his eyes fixed on us hungrily. To the south, there's the lingering hatred of E Xia. And to the west, stands the powerful King Jing, surveying all under heaven! Even if Qi is strong, can it truly pacify the hearts of its people through killing”

Chong Xuan Chulian just sneered: "Yang Jiande dared to move his troops, with the arrogance of a small country, he dared to offend a great nation's face. Originally, I was prepared to exterminate this region. It was only because a friend pleaded for me that I went to all this trouble. What kind of nonsense about interests and entanglements are you talking to me about! Chong Xuan Chulian would listen"

Though he didn't explicitly say it, the "young friend" he spoke of was naturally Jiang Wang.

And this plea for mercy was actually nothing but a fabrication.

To defeat Yang Jiande, Chongxuan Chulian was willing to drive Yang Guoquan's entire population to their deaths, but that was only his worst-case scenario. No matter how fearsome his reputation was, he wouldn't resort to annihilating the entirety of Yang domain in a situation where victory was still uncertain.

Only Chong Xuan Sheng knew that this was for raising Jiang Wang's reputation. At its core, it was to establish order after the war with Chong Xuan's family Qingyang Town as the banner, an important step in the "dividing the pie" process.

Zhenxuan's ideas might be a little simplistic, but there's one thing he gets right: the Zhenxuan family does need someone who appears bright and upright, or at least "seems" that way.

Because the perpetrator was a powerful figure like Xuan Chu Liang, and there wasn't a suitable candidate to comfort the people.

Of course, perhaps there are other reasons as well, but they are not something that should be spoken of...

Throughout his life, Huang only knelt before heaven, earth, his ruler, and his parents. He would never bend to anyone else!

Seeing the profound respect and sincerity in Xuanchu Liang's attitude, Huang Yixing suddenly knelt down with a resounding thud before him.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

With his knees striking the ground, a resounding boom echoed: "I am willing to kneel for all living beings! I beg the great general to show mercy to the people of Yang Guo, and please cease killing innocents!"

The sound of a battle-knife slicing through a neck, blood spurting. Screams of agony, shouts of pain, pleas for mercy, and the monstrous roars of those reveling in slaughter...

All the sounds of slaughter are commenting on something.

Zhong Xuanzhu watched Huang Yixing for a long time before saying: "Military orders are like mountains, this commander has no reason to retract the order. However, your courage moved me. You are one of the few honest and loyal people in Yang Guo. For your sake, this commander can spare the lives of the people of Yang Guo, as long as they sincerely surrender... Will you deliver this order for this commander

There is no room for further compromise.

Upon seeing this, Huang Yi-xing clasped his hands together in the air and bowed low. He touched his forehead to his back and wept, saying: “I am willing to go!”

Then the man turned and dashed away, never looking back at the battlefield.

Zhong Xuan and Zhu Liang ignored him. Zhong Xuan simply lifted Yang Jiande's head with his hand, gazing at it eye to eye, and suddenly sighed: "Yang Ting has lost the hearts of the people; this is not the fault of just one person."

His own bodyguard came forward, carrying a jade box.

He placed the skull in a jade box, glanced at it one more time, then closed the lid.

“Send him back to Linzi.” He sighed.

Throughout all of Yang State, only Yang Jiande and Ji Cheng were worthy of being sent back to Linzi as trophies.

At this moment, Chongxuan walked over with heavy steps, his face full of murderous intent: "General, are you really going to give him such a name"

Zhong Xuan Zhu Liang first glanced at him, only nodding once: "On the battlefield, life and death are commonplace."

"Fourteen is still alive!" Chong Xuan said, then added, "I hate my subordinates, five thousand are left with only seven hundred!"

Zhong Xuan and Chu Liang remained silent. Regarding his previous question, Zhong Xuan simply replied, "If he is a traitor selling out his country for fame, then give him some fame!"

And then he turned back and went to his own camp, without looking back at the battlefield.

Since Chong Xuanzhu Liang had issued the military order, these 210,000 soldiers of the Yang Kingdom were bound to be exterminated.

Huang Yixing appeared loyal and compassionate, yet as the magistrate of Chiwei County, he did not join the battlefield before the war, could not save his lord and country during the conflict, and only emerged after the war to dissuade the massacre.

Although there may be some justice involved, it's probably mostly for the sake of public image.

It is said that he was sacrificing himself to save the people, but in this situation, Chong Xuan's killing of Liang would have consequences even worse than slaughtering ten thousand soldiers.

The loss of the people's hearts in Yangting is due to two main reasons: firstly, the ruler is inactive, and secondly, these bureaucrats all have their own selfish motives, some seeking fame, some seeking profit, each acting for private gain.

Therefore, Chongxuan Zhuliang said that Huang Yixing was a group of people who sold their country for fame.

He trampled on Yang Jun and Yang Ting, making himself spotless while pretending to be the only one pure in a corrupt nation. But as the magistrate of Chiwei County, he was undoubtedly a high-ranking official in Yang Ting. How could past decisions made by Yang Ting not involve him In the end, this person only cared about his reputation and didn't care about his country!

But despite this, he still had to fulfill this person's reputation. Because with someone like this existing, it was easier for the state of Qi to govern here.

The worse a rogue is in the State of Yang, the better a minister he is in the State of Qi.

Jiang Wangyu Qinyang Town is a flag, known as the Paradise of Peach Blossoms.

Huang Yixing's journey to Yang Guo was also a banner, known as restoring order and upholding righteousness.

With these two flags, there is no need to worry about not winning over the hearts and minds of the people under the sun.Jiang Wang said excitedly. "It's an authentic copy! When Yang Feng went on campaign nine years ago, he didn't return. When he finally came back, he saw that the trees in his courtyard were shaking and...
