Chapter 618 The Whole Country Is Shocked
On the banks of the Heyin River, Ma Su stood in front of the battle array in full armor, reading out the ten major crimes of the Luoyang officials in a serious manner.
After reading out, Ma Su confidently read out their death sentences amid the astonishment of the officials.
Below, five thousand Han soldiers who had been waiting for a long time surrounded the group of people.
These five thousand Han soldiers were all Ma Su's trusted followers. They don't care whether you are from a high-ranking general family or a wealthy and prestigious family.
As long as the general says you deserve to die, they will kill you without hesitation.
Several officials relied on their prominent family background and planned to force their way out. As a result, they were immediately chopped to the ground as soon as they approached the Han soldiers.
Blood spurted out, and the air of the entire Heyin began to be filled with a faint smell of blood. This further increased the tension in the hearts of all officials, and fear began to spread.
Ma Su, it seems serious!
But these nobles couldn't believe this result. They couldn't imagine that Ma Su had the courage to kill them!
They were officials appointed by the court! They were local nobles! They were noble scholars!
Are you really going to die, Ma Su?
However, they still underestimated Ma Su's courage. As a person who dared to kill surrendered officials, there was no one in the world that Ma Su dared not kill.
After reading out the crimes of this group of nobles, Ma Su ordered without hesitation.
"Drive them into the Yellow River! Let these villains who harmed the Later Han Dynasty roll into the water to feed the fish!"
It was spring and summer, and the Yellow River was in its flood season. With such a wide river, it was easy to drown more than a thousand pampered nobles.
At this time, some of these officials reacted and looked at Ma Su with anger. Especially those who were ordered to respond to Ma Su's uprising were even more indignant.
How dare you, Ma Su, say that to us? Didn't we come here to respond to your rebellion at your invitation? You, an ambitious person who wants to rebel, what qualifications do you have to blame us?
However, Ma Su obviously did not intend to explain to them. He coldly issued the execution order of the death penalty despite the abuse of this group of big families.
This group of big families who lived in luxury were forced to jump into the Yellow River under the threat of weapons from fully armed Han soldiers. Most of them could only struggle desperately until they ran out of strength and finally drowned in the Yellow River.
As for the remaining part, they drowned as soon as they fell into the water...
In just half an hour, corpses were floating everywhere on the surface of the Yellow River. They were all important big family heads in Luoyang, and many of them were powerful people around them.
But now, they have all turned into floating corpses on the Yellow River and buried in the belly of fish.
It turns out that these gentlemen are not good at swimming...
And Ma Su also stood by the Yellow River, watching the corpses of these bureaucrats who hated him so much drowned in the rolling Yellow River. Faced with such a spectacular scene, Ma Su only thought of a suitable sentence,
"Time flies, day and night!"
"Sir, the General Zhenbei and the General Zhengxi have been ordered to enter Luoyang. The prince has also been staying in the East Palace at your request." Ma Su's confidant arched his hands and reported seriously.
"So far, everything is normal!"
"Very good." Ma Su nodded slightly.
This time, Ma Su did not let the prince participate in the Heyin diving party, and he was the sole organizer. After all, Ma Su was not willing to share such a big reputation with others.
It would be best if all the big families in the world remembered my name, Ma Su, just like Erzhu Rong in history. It would be great if Ma Su could also experience Erzhu Rong's fate.
"Everyone, get ready. If this gets out, the whole world will be shaken. The pressure will not be small!"

While Ma Su was holding the Heyin diving competition, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai each led 20,000 troops and entered Luoyang with the general's order. Then the army followed the list of rebels given by Ma Su and began to exterminate the clans according to the household registration book.
Ma Su's goal was not to kill a few people for fun from the beginning. What he wanted was to kill a gap in the watertight Luoyang officialdom, so that the central government could project power to Guandong.
So this time, Ma Su's goal was to use fishing enforcement to directly clean up a group of local clans in Luoyang.
This Heyin incident lasted for several days, and the whole Luoyang was plunged into a bloody storm. Dozens of clans were surrounded by the elite of the Han army, and all the families except women and children were slaughtered.
At the same time, Chang'an also received news from Guandong.
The first thing they received was the tip-off from the big families who wanted to bet on both sides. For a time, the news that Ma Su was going to rebel spread throughout the court of Ji Han, and panic spread instantly.
"Your Majesty! I ask you to quickly call the prime minister back to the court and order General Wei to lead troops to occupy Hongnong to warn the rebels!" Yang Zhun was very nervous and said to Liu Chan at the first time.
"Whether this is a rumor or true, it is better to be careful!"
"Your Majesty! I guarantee with my life that Ma Su has no intention of rebelling!" Before Yang Zhun finished speaking, Jiang Wan stepped forward and reported to Liu Chan in a trembling voice.
"The current situation in Guandong is complicated. This is definitely a misunderstanding. I ask your majesty to send an envoy to question it!"
After Jiang Wan finished speaking, Fei Yi and other old ministers also stepped forward and did not hesitate to guarantee with their lives that Ma Su had no intention of rebelling.
After all, they are all from the Jingzhou faction, so they naturally have to protect Ma Su at this time. Moreover, the current situation is chaotic. If Ma Su is forced to rebel, I am afraid that the fate of the Han Dynasty will be interrupted.
At this critical moment, Liu Chan's attitude is very important.
"I believe in the general, he will not do such an irrational thing!" Liu Chan shook his head gently and expressed his position personally.
"Send someone to Luoyang to comfort the general and resolve the misunderstanding!"
I don't believe that the general recommended by my father would have the idea of rebellion!
Liu Chan didn't say this last sentence, but this is his most critical confidence.
He believes in the vision of his father Zhuge Liang, just as his father believed in his morality back then!
Just when Liu Chan overcame all objections, issued an edict to believe in Ma Su, and sent an envoy to Luoyang to clarify the misunderstanding, Luoyang also sent an envoy.
Seeing that Ma Su took the initiative to send someone to explain, the entire Shangshutai breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Chan relaxed again, and a smile returned to his face.
"I knew that the general would not let me down..." As he spoke, Liu Chan opened the letter that Ma Su had given him.
Then, Liu Chan's smile froze, and there was a bit of disbelief in his eyes. After a while, Liu Chan finally reacted, and then he suddenly stood up and shouted,
"Quick, send someone to Jingzhou to ask the prime minister to come back!"
