Chapter 421: Yuan Xi was defeated and committed suicide
The next day, a rumor spread throughout Jicheng. It was said that Yuan Xi was rampant, which made the people of Jicheng miserable, and some people began to want to cooperate with Liu Jun outside the city to kill Yuan Xi.
And that's not all.
The people also rumored that a certain family had reached an agreement with Liu Jun, and now they were going to make a move on Yuan Xi.
There are many versions, and a certain family covers almost the entire family of Jicheng.
originally thought that Liu Jun would attack Jicheng as usual, but in the end, Liu Jun kept shooting feather arrows into Jicheng. There were also some surrender letters tied to the feather arrows, which claimed that as long as Yuan Xi was eliminated, others would not be punished.
The head of the family was scared, this was clearly Liu Jun's poisonous plan, and in order to prevent Yuan Xi from becoming suspicious, they all came to Yuan Xi's mansion to explain.
And Yuan Xi was looking at the surrender letter on the feather arrow, listening to the report of his soldiers, and his eyes showed a trace of killing intent.
Hearing that all the heads of the families in Jicheng had come to his mansion, Yuan Xi decided to meet him properly.
When the heads of the family saw Yuan Xi holding a feather arrow in his hand, they all felt chills in their hearts.
"What is the matter with you coming to me?" Yuan Xi said while playing with the feather arrow.
One of the Tian family heads said: "Second son, there are all kinds of rumors circulating in Jicheng today, spreading rumors that we have betrayed the second son, please don't believe it." In order to prove our innocence, we came to explain to the second son. ”
"Yes, we are all innocent." Everyone else chimed in.
"Oh, I see. Your sincerity, this son is clear. Yuan Xi said indifferently.
Yuan Xi was a little uneasy about these families, and he was thinking about how to remove the hidden dangers.
The head of the Tian family who spoke first saw the unkindness in Yuan Xi's eyes, and immediately said: "Second son, there are still some family servants in my family, and they are also a waste of grain and grass at home, so it is better to let them join the army, so as to serve the second son." ”
"Oh, does the rest mean the same thing?" Yuan Xi smiled, this is also a good way, as long as all the family servants of each family are added to the army, it can not only increase the number of troops defending the city, but also prevent these families from causing trouble, killing two birds with one stone.
"We are willing to share the worries of the second son." The other family heads were about to scold the Tian family master who spoke first to death, what kind of bad idea did they have, now Yuan Xi wants them to express their position, can they disagree.
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "You are really the pillars of the country, and my son will ask for credit for you on my father's side." My son is busy with state affairs, so I won't send more. ”
All the heads of the family accompanied the smiling faces and retreated.
And after leaving Yuan Xi's mansion, the head of the Tian family gave the other family heads a wild look, and the other family heads understood one after another. They first returned to their respective homes, and then disguised themselves and secretly came to the mansion of the head of the Tian family, and after discussing it, they all left with joy.
"My lord, I have already done as I was told. Ensure that the prince can take Jicheng. The head of the Tian family said respectfully to a man in black.
The man in black said with satisfaction: "Very good, don't worry." What Mr. Gonghe promised you will definitely do, and then your Tian family will be the first family in Youzhou. ”
"I must go to the soup for the prince in the future, and I will not hesitate." The head of the Tian family was busy showing his loyalty.
That's right, all of this was planned by Frustration, and the purpose was to take advantage of the family's resentment towards Yuan Xi to attack Jicheng from the inside.
Yuan Xi didn't know that the family members had abandoned him. He was still glad that he had received so many troops.
In Liu Jun's camp outside Jicheng, Lu Bu asked a little puzzled: "Sir, do you really promise those wall grasses to give them the benefits they want?" ”
"Of course, I promised these things." Frustrated with a smile and nodded.
Lu Bu was a little speechless, and he really didn't know what he thought.
Huang Zhong asked suspiciously: "Mr. Gonghe, the lord has never been very kind to these families, and now that you have agreed to them, I am afraid that the lord guild will not be happy." ”
"It doesn't matter. These families are all wall grass, and they can be solved easily when they break through Jicheng. "A beheading gesture hangs on the wall.
Huang Zhong and Lu Bu were stunned, and this frustration was about to break their promises.
"As long as these families are eradicated, no one will know what I promised." Frustrated with an unchanging face.
Huang Zhong and Lu Bu knew the ruthlessness of the literati for the first time, and it was really decisive enough to turn their faces and deny people.
It doesn't matter how much he is frustrated, he just needs to help Liu Yu capture Jicheng, as for whether anyone mentions this matter in the future, that is a matter for the future, and he only needs to be loyal to Liu Yu.
In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Jun once again launched an attack on Jicheng, and the momentum was greater than any previous one.
If it had been before, Yuan Xi might have worried that he wouldn't be able to hold on. But with the family's servants joining, Yuan Xi had sufficient troops to defend, and the command and dispatch were more handy.
Just when Yuan Xi thought that he could hold it this time, the east gate of the city gates on all sides of Jicheng was opened.
Lu Bu jumped on his horse and whipped his troops into Jicheng.
"Oh no, second son. The east gate was opened. The soldiers hurried back to report.
"Impossible, Jicheng is impregnable, how can it be breached." Yuan Xi was so shocked that he didn't know why.
"Second son, the east gate was not opened by Liu Jun. It was opened by those domestic servants who joined our army, and they took advantage of our army's inattention to kill behind their backs, and the east gate was lost! The enemy general Lu Bu has already entered Jicheng. "The soldiers were about to cry.
"These gang of wall-headed grasses actually dare to betray their sons. Evacuate now! Yuan Xi knew that Jicheng could no longer be defended, and he had to leave immediately.
Yuan Xi walked down the city wall with his own soldiers, in fact, he didn't know where to run, Jicheng was already surrounded on all sides, and he couldn't run away at all.
"Catch Yuan Xi! Bounty! The rebels in the city kept shouting.
"Yuan Xi is there!" One of the rebels saw Yuan Xi.
"Kill them!" Yuan Xi was not easy to bully, and rushed over with the troops.
These rebels were all composed of the family's house slaves and guards, and they were not Yuan Xi's opponents at all, and Yuan Xi quickly killed all of them.
After killing this rebel army, the captain of the personal army asked, "Second son, what should we do?" ”
Yuan Xi was grief-stricken and indignant, he was betrayed in Jicheng before and was caught by Liu Yu and tortured. Now that he has been betrayed again, he can't escape at the same time, if he is caught by Liu Yu again, the end will definitely be worse than before.
"Since these people don't give Ben Gongzi a way to live, Ben Gongzi doesn't have to be polite to them. Let's go, let's go and slaughter those noble families together! Yuan Xi didn't stop doing anything, and raised the butcher's knife to the Jicheng family.
Of course, the pro-soldiers would not object, if Yuan Xi died, they would also be finished, so they had to follow Yuan Xi all the way to the dark.
Yuan Xi ignored Liu Jun in the city, but slaughtered into the mansions of various wealthy families, and carried out inhumane massacres inside. Both men, women, and children were slaughtered by Yuan Xi.
After killing this family, he ran to another, and the killing was constantly staged in the family of the big family, Yuan Xi had fallen into madness, and blood had already stained his whole body.
The family of the head of the Tian family was also slaughtered by Yuan Xi, and he found Lu Bu in grief and indignation, hoping that he could avenge him.
"You're the one who opened the east gate this time?" Lu Bu asked.
"Yes, the general is wise! Yuan Xi led the thieves into the villain's house, and the poor villain's men, women and children were all killed by Yuan Xi, please ask the general to avenge the villain. The head of the Tian family wept bitterly.
Lu Bu smiled slightly, Yuan Xi did this, but it saved him a lot of things. Lu Bu stabbed to death the Tian family master who was kneeling on the ground with a halberd, and the Tian family master didn't understand why Liu Jun killed him until the moment he died, but he had made a great contribution.
"Don't worry about Yuan Xi, I'll go and open the other three city gates as soon as possible to welcome the army into the city!" Lu Bu led his troops to the other three city gates.
The three city gates were opened by Lu Bu one after another, and Liu Jun continued to enter Jicheng. The Yuan army, who was defending the city, saw that there was nothing to do, and they abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Liu Jun did not embarrass these surrendered soldiers and gathered them in one place to take care of them.
After Yuan Xi killed all the families, he returned to his mansion and took a few personal soldiers to make the last resistance. Yuan Xi took off all the obligations of his body, ordered his subordinates to boil a large bucket of water for himself, and then Yuan Xi washed his whole body.
Yuan Xi's mansion was soon surrounded.
The rebels in Jicheng wanted to rush in and kill Yuan Xi because their families were all killed by Yuan Xi.
Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, and Fu Zhu came to this mansion.
Suddenly, the gate was opened, and Yuan Xi, dressed in gorgeous armor, wearing a golden helmet on his head, and holding a sword, walked out with the support of his own soldiers.
"Yuan Xianyi, surrender! Ben will spare you from dying! Huang Zhong shouted.
"Haha! Don't waste your efforts. I will not surrender! Yuan Xi looked up to the sky and roared.
"Father-in-law, don't talk nonsense with them, let the son-in-law lead someone to rush up and kill them!" Lu Buyang glanced at the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and said with a bloodthirsty face.
Yuan Xi's personal soldiers suddenly launched, and they killed Liu Jun. However, a rain of arrows killed them.
Yuan Xi looked at the pro-soldiers lying on the ground with pity, he knew what these pro-soldiers meant, they didn't want to see Yuan Xi die in front of them.
Just now, Yuan Xi let these soldiers leave in the mansion, and he had the will to die, so there was no need to let his subordinates die together. But the soldiers were willing to follow Yuan Xi, no matter whether they lived or died. Yuan Xi finally agreed to them and prepared to go to Huangquan with this group of soldiers. Unexpectedly, they were one step ahead of themselves.
Yuan Xi walked up to a pro-soldier who had not yet died, and squeezed the hand of the pro-soldier.
"Second son, I'll go first." The pro-soldier took his last breath.
Yuan Xi smiled, he was proud to have such a loyal personal soldier arrive.
Liu Jun around looked at Yuan Xi with fierce eyes, but Yuan Xi did not react. He was a man ready to die, and that hostility was nothing to him.
Yuan Xi pulled out his sword and roared angrily: "Children of the Yuan family, never surrender!" ”
After speaking, Yuan Xi killed himself with a horizontal sword!
