At night, Qin Qiong led 20,000 Mo Saber Guards to hold the line while Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin led 5,000 Dragon Cavalry Guards to break into the camp of the Heaven Festival Army.
Very soon, the Heavenly Festival Army's camp was filled with bloodbath. The soldiers and civilians of Youzhou woke up from their sleep in fear.
The next day, a notice was posted on every street.
The prefect Luo Yi and the governor Liu Yunde embezzled the materials transported by the imperial court to Youzhou to relieve the people and embezzled the military funds allocated. This is a capital crime!
The garrison outside Youzhou watched the Turks burn, kill and plunder, afraid of death and did not dare to fight. He also pretended to be a Turkic, killing good people and taking credit. There were 3,800 soldiers who had committed the crime. Last night, 800 were arrested and killed. The rest were beheaded in front of the Tiance Mansion and executed today at 3:45 p. m.
Fifteen of the chief criminals were beheaded!
The governor Liu Yunde was also cut in half!
The Tianjie Army committed such a great crime, this is the responsibility of the general! The prefect Luo Yi also committed the crime of negligence. He was punished for both crimes and split into pieces to intimidate the three armies.
When the people heard this, they were all shocked! They lived in the city and did not know that the Youzhou garrison had committed such a terrible crime.
In the southern part of the city, a white-haired old man was holding a child's hand. When he heard the literate person read the words on the notice, two lines of tears silently flowed down his face, but a carefree smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
He threw his head back and laughed loudly." The Youzhou soldiers were afraid of death, and they watched as the 363 families of my Song Manor were slaughtered by the Turks. The heavens have eyes, the heavens have eyes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another old man said with tears streaming down his face,"A month ago, the Youzhou army disguised themselves as Turks and wantonly plundered our Gu Clan Village. If the villagers dared to resist, they would all be slaughtered. The old man and the young girl were even raped to death by those beasts!
In the past month, the old man and the villagers of the Gu Family Village had been running around, complaining to the Prefect and Provincial Governor's Office just to seek justice. In the end, they did not expect that they would gang up and execute all the villagers of the Gu Family Village! If this old man had not been bedridden that day, how could he have lived to this day!”
Under the notice board, there were people crying.
Only then did the surrounding commoners know that the Youzhou garrison had committed such a heinous crime.
The citizens were all filled with righteous indignation and anger. They flocked to the Heavenly Policy Manor to witness the execution of the chief culprit and the soldiers who had committed the crime!
……
At noon, in a huge square outside the Heavenly Policy Manor.
Luo Yi, Liu Yunde, and the 3,000 Tianjie soldiers were kneeling on the bluestone slab with their hands tied.
The Dragon Cavalry Guards spread out and opened up a cordon to guard against any sudden incidents.
The commoners who saw the notice and heard the news came over. They surrounded the execution ground in three layers and three layers.
From time to time, cries, curses, and cheers could be heard from the crowd.
When the citizens were enraged and surrounded the 3,000 soldiers to curse and curse, the gate of the Heavenly Policy Manor opened.
Li Changqing was wearing armor, and the sword at his waist walked out.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong followed him.
Behind him, a team of elite bodyguards spread out to both sides.
Li Changqing stood on the bluestone steps and glanced around."Dear citizens of Youzhou, I am His Majesty's sixth son, Heavenly Strategy General Li Changqing.
I've been ordered by my father to guard Youzhou and defend against the Turks. But I never thought that the internal problems of the Great Tang would be far greater than the problems of the Outsiders!
The Governor of Youzhou, the general of the Tianjie Army, Luo Yi, embezzled military supplies and abused his trusted aides. His soldiers even pretended to be Turks and plundered the people! The atmosphere of the upper and lower levels is not right, causing the soldiers to be afraid of war and death. They ignore the life and death of the people at the border and watch the Turks slaughter villages and kill people.
Such evil deeds should be punished!"
Li Changqing suddenly shouted, his voice like thunder.
"Pass on my orders! Luo Yi committed the crime of embezzling relief supplies for the people, embezzling military funds and neglecting his duties. The three crimes were added together and sentenced to the punishment of breaking the car.”
"As the Imperial Court's Provincial Governor, Liu Yun De disregarded His Majesty's trust and colluded with Luo Yi.”
"The fifteen leaders of the Tianjie Army will be cut in half!”
"3,000 soldiers who fear death and war and pretend to be Turks will be beheaded!”
"Today, I will sacrifice the blood of 3,000 traitors to the souls of the people at the border!”
Li Changqing gave the order, and over a thousand dragon cavalry soldiers agreed in unison.
Five of the Dragon Cavalry Guards rode tall horses to Luo Yi's side and tied his limbs and head with hemp ropes before putting them on the horses.
Luo Yi was scared out of his wits. His entire body trembled as he continuously kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Li Changqing looked at him coldly, unmoved.
Luo Yi knew that he was going to die, so he became bolder and shouted angrily,
"Little Li Changqing, it's true that I embezzled resources and embezzled military funds, but my crime doesn't warrant the punishment of being torn apart by a car! If you use me to establish your might, I'll turn into a malicious ghost after I die and pester you every night!”
Li Changqing snorted coldly and said,"The general has failed to observe. He's useless!" It is a great sin for the generals at the border to be incompetent! Cut!
You're right, I'm using you to establish my might.
From today onwards, all incompetent people in high positions will be beheaded! If the soldiers under his command make mistakes, the general will bear the responsibility. Any general who fails to observe and cannot restrain his soldiers will be beheaded! Anyone who is afraid of battle and refuses to fight will be beheaded!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
The surrounding commoners were shocked and in disbelief.
"General Tian Ce is so strict with his army!”
"I've long heard that the White Robe Army is the best in the world and doesn't offend the people. Today, after seeing how strict the Heavenly Strategy General was, he knew that this was not a baseless rumor.”
"With such a great general guarding Youzhou, there will be no need to worry! This is a blessing for the people at the border!"
Compared to the excitement of the commoners, the generals of Youzhou were all terrified.
Those who are incompetent shall be beheaded, those who are negligent shall be beheaded, and those who are afraid of war shall be beheaded. With these three orders, the generals of the Youzhou Army would definitely be on tenterhooks. During normal times, they strictly restrained the soldiers and urged them to fight bravely during wartime.
"Execution!"
With a wave of Li Changqing's hand, the five Dragon Riders slapped the backs of their horses, and the five horses galloped in five different directions!
These five horses were all tall and handsome. With a single step, they could break the ribs of an adult!
The next moment, Luo Yi let out a ferocious howl. His face became distorted because of the intense pain.
It would take a lot of effort to chop off a person's limbs and head with a sword, let alone pulling them.
One could imagine the suffering of the tortured!
When his body was split into six pieces and he died, he didn't feel any pain.
The real pain was when he was pulling. The head and limbs were forcefully pulled off from the body. The pain was no less than walking through a mountain of blades and a sea of flames.
Luo Yi's blood-curdling scream was like the roar of a demon from hell. The surrounding commoners were shocked when they heard this!
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Luo Yi's final miserable scream was heard. His body suddenly spurted out five puffs of blood as he was forcefully torn into six pieces!
The punishment of breaking the body by car and dismembering the body by five horses is a cruel punishment!
