Chapter 267: Aftermath
"You and I are our own masters, but Xue doesn't want to see the brothers below kill each other, it's better for you and me to fight and win, if you win, Xue will let you leave safely with your subordinates, okay?"
Du Yuanqiu didn't want to fight with Xue Jian alone, although he hadn't seen Xue Jian's move, but he heard that Xue Jian's martial arts were strong, he was not sure that he would win, he Du Yuanqiu could live until now, that is, he never fought a battle that he was not sure of.

But today, the other side does not seem to give him a chance to retreat.
It is a dilemma to be and not to be.
He suddenly regretted a little, as soon as he heard that Fei Qian had an accident, his mind was hot, and he rushed over, if he had known that Fei Qian had been completely defeated, he should have closed the city gate and asked the imperial capital for help, or simply took his subordinates to leave while the chaos was in chaos.
It's only because he was thinking of Fei Qian's kindness at the time, and he didn't want to be ruthless and unrighteous in front of his subordinates, so he fell into the dilemma he is in today.
Relying on the 30,000 elite soldiers behind him, he was confident that he would fight with the men and horses on the opposite side, as for the other soldiers who remained in the barracks, he didn't believe that they had been subdued by Liu Sheng in this short period of time, and there was still an opportunity to take advantage of it.
didn't expect that as soon as the other party came, he would disturb the morale of the army with words and lose his fighting spirit. Now he is agitated with words, if he does not agree, his subordinates will definitely feel that their commander is greedy for life and afraid of death, and does not care about the life and death of his subordinates, which will make the morale of the army discouraged.
But if you agree, I'm afraid ...... I'm going to stay here today.
"Haha, Du Yuanqiu, are you scared?"
"Yes, Yuanqiu boy, you have always hidden behind people and let others work for you. Brothers, keep your eyes open and see, this is your General Du, except for the insidious calculation of others who hide behind, he doesn't even have the courage to fight with his opponent. ”
Han Shuo and Wei Changsong were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so they laughed and pointed over there.
Du Yuanqiu, who was still groaning, finally couldn't hold his face anymore and lifted the sword in his hand.
"General, don't go, let me come."
"Or ...... General, let's withdraw first. ”
"Yes, General, General Fei...... Why don't we wait until we figure out the situation before we make plans? ”
Except for one of the generals who was willing to come forward, the others were all persuading him to flee, although Du Yuanqiu also thought that fleeing at this time was the best decision, but the ridicule on the other side, the contempt that did not put him in his eyes deeply stimulated him.
If he escapes today, the prestige he has built up in the army for many years will be completely over.
Liu Sheng hunted him down again on the charge of rebellion and rebellion, and he will no longer have a place in the world.
And in the battle with Xue Jian, there is still a glimmer of life.
Thinking of this, Du Yuanqiu also swung his sword and pointed directly at the other party, "Xue Jian, do your words count?" ”
"A man's words, the horse is difficult to chase."
"Okay, let General Ben come and see what you are capable of."
The two of them did not say a word, and each of them beat his horse and rushed towards the other. The dust kicked up by the horses' hooves flew up, as if two hurricanes were whirling and colliding together.
Fu Junyan touched his beard with a smile, with a cunning look on his face that had succeeded in his scheme.
The two horses flew on all fours, and soon arrived in front of their opponents, "clanging", and the two swords exchanged blows at an unknown number of times, and then the two horses staggered past.
On a horse, Xue Jian sat upright, without any expression on his face. On the other horse, Du Yuanqiu suddenly changed color, stroked his chest, and a stream of blood arrows suddenly gushed out from his chest, falling to the ground with the people on the horse.
Just a face, Du Yuanqiu died under Xue Jian's sword.
Although such an ending was expected by Fu Junyan, it was unexpected by everyone, although Du Yuanqiu was not the most brave soldier, he would not be able to parry even a face, this Xue Jian, how powerful should it be.
The people and horses on both sides were stunned, everyone looked at the middle, under the dazzling sun, Du Yuanqiu's body was lying there alone, only the horse that had lost its owner gathered around him, digging hooves, and couldn't stop wailing.
It was a sunny day, but there was a sense of desolation in the desert dusk for no reason......
Xue Jian fought alone to the front of the 30,000 elite soldiers, took out the token that Liu Sheng gave him, and shouted, "Your Majesty personally gave the imperial decree here, and you still don't bow down?" ”
The 30,000 elite soldiers, look at me, I look at you, finally someone knelt down, and then slowly, everyone knelt down.
The soldiers were bloodless, so they took down this elite soldier, and Xue Jian's eyes also showed a knowing smile.
Although the overall situation has been decided, there are still many things to be done to deal with the aftermath, such as how to resettle those generals who have surrendered, whether to stay in their original positions, change to other places, or detain them. These are very headaches, and if they are not handled well, they will leave troubles, and even disturb the morale of the army, so that the morale of the army that has not been completely subdued will be turbulent again.
There are also rewards for those who have meritorious soldiers, and they must also be implemented as soon as possible, and those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have faults will be punished, and the rewards and punishments will be clear, so that others can continue to work hard.
There is also the rearrangement of the army, the appointment of generals at all levels, etc., etc., all of which are very brain-consuming things, but fortunately, Fu Junyan is here, so Liu Sheng does not have a headache alone.
The people above were busy, and the people below were not idle, and they were quietly discussing, why did General Fei suddenly lose, could it be that General Fei really rebelled?
Everything was like a dream on this day, but when I woke up, everyone felt incredible.
In fact, Fei Qian's defeat to Liu Sheng is not wronged.
First of all, Fei Qian made a preconceived mistake and did not know the enemy's situation.
Liu Sheng used to protect himself, never showed his head in the court, and always acted in a low-key manner, so he was naturally cowardly and incompetent in the eyes of some people, and after he came to Liangzhou, he behaved arrogantly and unreasonably, and did not put everyone in his eyes, which gave everyone the illusion that this son was useless.
If he treated Corporal Fei Qian with courtesy, it would cause Fei Qian and Du Yuanqiu to be vigilant, but he pretended to be extremely arrogant, which made Fei Qian despise him, because of contempt, he didn't pay much attention to his behavior.
But Liu Sheng is different, he sent Fu Junyan to the army a few months ago, it can be said that he knows Fei Qian well in the army, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, can not be defeated in a hundred battles, in this move, Liu Sheng took the lead.
Then there is strategy, in this battle where the weak defeat the strong, every step Liu Sheng took was planned in detail, and every word he said was also profound, including Qin Tai's appearance, and the people who appeared around Fei Qian's cronies and generals were all planned in advance, and even Du Yuanqiu's death was one of the strategies.
Therefore, in addition to the absolute advantage, strategy is the key to victory.
Of course, there are two important reasons, which are also unexpected surprises for Fei Qian, one is that the emperor actually gave Liu Sheng a token.
Fei Qian dared to be so careless because he recognized Liu Sheng and didn't dare to kill him. He is a dignified three-rank military general in the court, a general appointed by the emperor himself, without the emperor's imperial decree, no one can kill him privately, even if he is guilty, he must be escorted to the imperial capital for trial before the verdict can be announced.
The state-owned state has its own rules, and no one dares to disobey this regulation.
But he didn't expect Liu Sheng to have the imperial token in his hand that could be cut first and then played.
Not only is there a token, but there is also a convincing excuse that the emperor will not pursue, and that is everything that the Master of Repentance has told.
The assassination of the last year patrol street is 100% sure of the Jin family's conspiracy, and the assassins all have Liangzhou accents, so isn't it logical to involve Fei Qian with it? Even if Liu Sheng doesn't say it, I'm afraid that the emperor himself will guess like this in his heart. (To be continued.) )
