Chapter 393: Kill, Leave None Alive

~7 min read 1,360 words

In the eyes of these people of the Great Han Empire, Liu Bian was an omnipotent existence.

It was he who personally propped up the Great Han Empire, which was about to collapse.

Moreover, even these ministers were able to embark on the path of martial arts because of Liu Bian.

If it weren't for Liu Bian, the Great Han Empire at this time would probably have been in a situation of warlords fighting for hegemony.

It was precisely because of Liu Bian's rise that the current warlords were all watching from the sidelines.

As for the strength in Liu Bian's hands, Zhang Liao and the others, who had witnessed this scene with their own eyes, knew it clearly.

And they would never allow anyone to insult Liu Bian, whom they regarded as a god.

Zhang Liao stared at Liu Bao with killing intent and said to him in an icy voice:

"Originally, I intended to let you live a little longer."

"I didn't expect that you would dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty. How could I let you live!"

"The General is right. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to His Majesty shall be executed without mercy!"

At this time, Li Su and Wang Chang and the others also looked at Liu Bao angrily, their faces full of killing intent.

"Hahaha, I really don't understand you all. What is there about that brat Liu Bian that is worth your loyalty and protection?"

At this time, Liu Bao, looking at everyone's reaction, asked with confusion.

"Hmph, His Majesty's ability is not something that a mere foreign tribe person like you can fathom!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao immediately snorted at Liu Bao with sarcasm.

"Someone, take him down and behead him!"

After speaking, Zhang Liao shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him.

Following Zhang Liao's words, the Han soldiers, who had long wanted to kill Liu Bao, immediately stepped forward, tied Liu Bao up, and dragged him toward the door.

"Let go of me, I will walk myself."

Liu Bao, who was tied up, shouted dissatisfiedly at the soldiers escorting him.

However, how would these Han soldiers care about his feelings!

Regardless of his struggle and shouting, they soon dragged him out, and not long after, the guard walked in carrying a bloody head.

Seeing this scene, the Xiongnu soldiers were all scared to the point of trembling.

Those who were cowardly immediately threw away the weapons in their hands, knelt on the ground in terror before Zhang Liao and the others, and shouted with trembling voices:

"Don't... don't kill me! I... I surrender!"

"I also surrender, don't kill me!"

"Please, don't kill me! I surrender!"

Following the surrender of the few leaders, the remaining people, after looking at each other, also chose to surrender.

"We are willing to surrender to the Great Han Empire, please forgive us, General!"

"We are willing to surrender to the Great Han Empire, please forgive us, General!"

Looking at the Xiongnu soldiers who had all surrendered, Wang Chang became anxious and said urgently to Zhang Liao:

"General, the Xiongnu people cannot be forgiven. They have never left any survivors when treating the common people of our Great Han Empire."

"Even if they didn't kill them, they treated them like livestock. The sins they have committed in the Great Han are unforgivable!"

Looking at Li Su and the other three who were looking at him anxiously, Zhang Liao gave them a reassuring look.

"The four generals don't need to be anxious. His Majesty already has an edict; I have the authority to make independent decisions regarding Bing Province."

"Moreover, everyone, don't forget that I, like you, have fought with the Xiongnu before."

"I also know about the crimes the Xiongnu have committed in the Great Han."

"For such people, how could I let them live? So, pass my order!"

Following Zhang Liao's cold voice, Li Su and the other four immediately shook their bodies and responded loudly to Zhang Liao:

"This subordinate is here!"

"The crimes committed by the Xiongnu in the Great Han Empire and the harm done to the people of our Great Han Empire have reached a point where they are too numerous to record."

"For those who dare to violate the heavenly might of our Great Han Empire, execute them without mercy!"

Zhang Liao used a voice full of majesty to issue his military order to the group.

After hearing Zhang Liao's military order, everyone was shocked and shouted excitedly to Zhang Liao:

"This subordinate will strictly follow the General's order!"

"Kill, leave none alive!"

At this time, those Xiongnu soldiers were desperate. They did not understand why these Han troops still wanted to kill them even though they had already surrendered.

In the past, wasn't it that as long as they surrendered, the Han army would not kill them? Why were these Han troops completely different from what they remembered?

Not only was their strength terrifyingly powerful, but they were also merciless when they took action.

"You cannot kill surrendered soldiers; you will go to hell for doing this."

"You are killing surrendered soldiers without authorization; your emperor will not let you off!"

"You cannot do this, I have already surrendered, don't kill me!"

"Please, don't kill me!"

Li Su and the others did not pay attention to the pleas of the Xiongnu soldiers; they could not feel a shred of sympathy for these Xiongnu soldiers.

Among them, there was not a single innocent person; all of them had hands stained with the blood of the Great Han people.

Soon, the five hundred Xiongnu soldiers were beheaded, from then on declaring that the Xiongnu who had occupied the three commanderies of Shuofang had been killed clean.

From then on, these three commanderies occupied by the Xiongnu returned to the hands of the Great Han Empire.

After the soldiers cleaned up the house, Zhang Liao sat in the head seat and said to the group below:

"Zhang Long, Li Le, Ding Li, Zhao Yi!"

After hearing Zhang Liao call their names, the four immediately stood out, cupped their hands, and responded loudly to Zhang Liao:

"This subordinate is here!"

"You four, each lead one thousand people, find the hidden Xiongnu in Linrong City, and you must ensure that not a single Xiongnu can leave Linrong City alive!"

"Especially in the homes of the common people, I estimate that some Xiongnu soldiers will sneak into the homes of the common people to hide."

"I want you to clear out the Xiongnu while ensuring the safety of the Great Han people."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he stared at the four with a solemn expression. This was a major matter concerning the safety of the people and could not have the slightest carelessness.

The four, Zhang Long, were also full of solemnity at this time and promised Zhang Liao loudly:

"Please rest assured, General, we will definitely complete the mission!"

Seeing this, Zhang Liao nodded with satisfaction at the four.

"Go and do it as soon as possible!"

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

After the four cupped their hands to Zhang Liao, they left the hall quickly.

Watching the four leave, Zhang Liao turned his gaze to Li Su and the other four.

Zhang Liao said solemnly to the four:

"Four generals, I will leave the pacification work of the people of Linrong City to you four."

"Still follow our old way; all aristocratic families, apart from leaving the land stipulated by the Imperial Court, will have all other surplus land distributed to the common people in the city."

"If anyone dares to oppose or make trouble, execute them without mercy!"

"This subordinate obeys!"

After the four heard Zhang Liao's military order, they also responded loudly immediately.

"If there are any problems that are difficult to handle, just suppress them for now and wait for the military advisor to come and handle them!"

Seeing that the four were about to turn and leave, Zhang Liao could not help but remind them.

"General, is the military advisor coming soon?"

After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Li Su hurriedly asked Zhang Liao. ===== CHAPTER 394 =====
