Chapter 1522 Seeing death as home

When Sima Lun entered the city, the weather was rarely clear. The long-lost sunshine shone down from the thick clouds, sweeping away the haze for many days. It was a rare and good weather.

The battle in the city has basically ended, and there are Huainan soldiers escorted out of the city with dejected heads everywhere. Because the battle last night happened very suddenly, many Huainan soldiers were awakened by the sudden shouts of killing in their dreams. When they got up from the barracks, they saw that all the Sima soldiers were coming from all directions. As long as the Huainan army resisted a little or even threw their weapons slowly, they would be dismembered by the Sima army who rushed over.

The Sima Army's attack was organized and orderly, but when the Huainan soldiers woke up from their sleep, they were still confused. The soldiers did not see the generals, and the generals did not see the soldiers. No one came to command them to deal with such emergencies, and they could only run around like headless flies.

But Shouchun's city was so big. After Sima's army entered the city, under the leadership of Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi, they quickly seized almost all the key places in the city and most of the main streets. The Huainan army in Shouchun City was completely in a state of being divided and surrounded. In this state, they had almost no ability to resist. If they wanted to avoid the fate of being slaughtered, they had to put down their weapons and raise their hands to surrender early.

In fact, under the shock of Sima's attack tactics, the morale of the Huainan Army had long been disintegrated, and the morale had fallen to an unprecedented level. Tens of thousands of Huainan soldiers fled. In recent days, there were as many as hundreds of deserters who were caught and executed. This made many Huainan soldiers who wanted to escape but were afraid of being killed hesitated and hesitated. Although they had not yet made up their minds to leave Shouchun City, they were already absent-minded. How could they still have any fighting spirit?

What's more, in this chaotic situation, the lack of unified command made the Huainan army a mess. Everyone only wanted to protect themselves, and they could not care about the lives and deaths of others. Therefore, under the general trend, there were many people who surrendered. Although the Huainan army claimed to have 40,000 people, the street fighting in the entire Shouchun City almost showed a one-sided trend. The Sima army controlled Shouchun City almost without any effort. By dawn, the battle was over.

"Have you ever captured Zhuge Dan?" Simalun did not ask about the battle situation in detail, but asked several generals who were waiting for him to enter the city about Zhuge Dan's whereabouts. Compared to annihilation of how many people the enemy captured, Simalun was more concerned about whether Zhuge Dan was taken down.

A side general immediately reported: "Reported to the Grand Governor, General Wang surrounded Zhuge Dan's mansion. After entering the mansion, he found that Zhuge Dan had committed suicide and captured hundreds of Zhuge Dan's personal soldiers on the spot. However, these people were very stubborn and refused to surrender. What should we do? General Wang asked the Grand Governor to decide."

Zhuge Dan's mansion was the first target Wang Chang attacked. Under the guidance of Jiang Ban, Wang Chang personally led his troops to surround Zhuge's mansion to prevent Zhuge Dan from escaping in the chaos. However, Wang Chang was not sure whether he could block it. He could only be as fast as possible.

Capturing the thief first, as long as Zhuge Dan can be defeated, the remaining battle will be easily resolved.

When attacking Zhuge Mansion, Sima's army encountered the most tenacious resistance. Wang Chang took a lot of effort to break through the gate of Zhuge Mansion.

However, after entering the lobby, Sima Jun suddenly found Zhuge Dan's body, with a clear sword mark on his neck. Zhuge Dan was holding a long sword in his hand, with blood stains on the sword. Based on the situation at the scene, Wang Chang concluded that Zhuge Dan committed suicide.

Obviously, Zhuge Dan was unwilling to be captured and humiliated when the situation was over, so he chose to stop himself.

Wang Chang ordered Zhuge Dan's body to be buried. According to convention, a rebel like Zhuge Dan would not be able to get peace after death. The court would whip his body and expose him to the wilderness to be respectful.

As for those captured Zhuge Dan's personal soldiers, Wang Chang, in accordance with Sima Lun's decree, was punished by the evil ones, and never asked them to surrender. He ordered people to surrender. As long as they were willing to surrender, they could avoid death.

But unexpectedly, these soldiers refused to surrender without exception. Zhuge Dan was said to be dead, and even if these soldiers were loyal to him, it would be useless. However, these personal soldiers insisted on not surrendering and all looked at death. Wang Chang could only send someone to report to Sima Lun and let him deal with it.

"Oh, there are really people who are not afraid of death?" Sima Lun exclaimed slightly, then rode his horse straight to Zhuge Mansion.

As soon as he entered the gate, Sima Lun saw Zhuge Dan's body placed flat on the ground. Zhuge Dan was the culprit of the rebellion in Huainan. Although he was unable to capture him alive, he was able to get Zhuge Dan's head, which was enough for Sima Lun to return to his post to report.

As for the hundreds of prisoners, they were already tied up and escorted aside, waiting for Sima Lun's punishment.

Sima Lun ordered the leader to be escorted over and said, "Zhuge Dan is already dead, what's the use of you being so stupid and loyal? Now I'll give you the last chance. Those who wish to surrender will be spared from death, and those who refuse to surrender will be killed without mercy. You can choose one yourself!"

The head of the personal soldier said calmly: "Die for Zhuge Gong, don't hate me!" After that, he raised his arrogant head, closed his eyes and spoke without saying a word, and was waiting for death.

Sima Lun nodded slightly and said with a hint of praise: "Yes, it's a man. If I torture you, it will humiliate you. Come and behead him, and he will behead him in full!"

The sword and axe driver had been waiting behind him. When he heard Sima Lun's order, he immediately took the knife and cut off the head of the personal soldier. His head rolled several feet away, and a cavity of blood gushed out. The scene was extremely bloody and terrifying.

The timid person had already been scared to death at this moment, but Sima Lun looked calm and calm, and said lightly: "Next."

The team of hundreds of people lined up in a long row. Every time the Sima army killed one person, they would recruit one person, but everyone was ready to die. Until the last person was killed, none of them surrendered and were beheaded.

Sima Lun sighed: "These people are really dead soldiers. Unfortunately, Zhuge Dan has no power, so he makes them die worthless."

Subsequently, Sima Lun asked about the whereabouts of Zhuge Dan's son Zhuge Liang, but no trace of Zhuge Liang was found in the city. Someone reported it. When Sima's army entered the city, Zhuge Liang and general Wu Gang led their troops to break through the west gate and disappeared.

Sima Lun concluded that after Zhuge Liang escaped, the only place to join Bingzhou was Bingzhou, so Sima Lun ordered the prefectures and counties along the way to capture Wu Gang and Zhuge Liang, and make sure that they would not miss the net.
