Chapter 407: Death
Yuan Shu was carried by Zhang Xun and thrown on the horse, and a group of Yuan troops led by Zhang Xun protected him and rushed desperately towards the inner city.
Lu Bu and Sun Ce had also conquered the north and west gates, and the soldiers and horses from all directions attacked and entered the city from three directions, and the fighting spirit of Yuan Shu's 50,000 soldiers and horses defending the city disappeared and became invisible.
Yuan Shu's tens of thousands of soldiers, today in the battle suddenly met Lu Bu, Sun Ce rebelled, and the people in the city rebelled, and now there is the Jinling army to conquer the south gate, and the morale has long been sluggish.
When those Jinling soldiers were holding their swords and spears high and rushing like a tide of rage, Yuan Shu's soldiers could not stop them for a moment except to flee or surrender.
What does it mean to be defeated?
What does it mean to be miserable?
This battle was even worse than the battle in which Yuan Shu was blocked by the potters with 100,000 people in the Wet Whisker Dock, and he was even more unwilling.
Tao family erector, dare to be like this? A few insults to me!
The iron blue on Yuan Shu's face became clearer and clearer, and the shouts behind him, "Yuan Shu is unkind, the heavens will punish him" came out of the mouths of the soldiers under the command of the pottery merchant.
The shouts, like the magic sound of urging life, hit Yuan Shu's always proud heart hard.
After living for more than 40 years, Yuan Shu has always been high-spirited and pretentious, and he couldn't imagine that he was defeated twice at the hands of the Tao family, and he was chased and insulted by the soldiers of the Jinling Army behind his back!
In the future, what face will you see in the world?
Yuan Shu was filled with grief and anger, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell under the horse, and he didn't know who was going to do it.
"Ming Gong!"
"Save Yuan Gong!"
……
Yuan Shu fell into a coma, thanks to the general Zhang Xun, who tried his best to protect Yuan Shu from the east gate to escape outside the city, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses had no time to care at all, and they all fell into Nanchang City!
Following Yuan Shu's existing troops, there are only 3,000 people, and in this battle, Yuan Lao'er lost all his grain and grass, his arrows were gone, and his swords, guns and armor could not be found in a few complete pieces.
What a losing battle!
The remaining soldiers did not dare to delay time, they protected Yuan Shu and desperately retreated in the direction of Jiujiang County.
Unexpectedly, the potters did not organize a large-scale pursuit, but only a small force of Jinling soldiers would pursue them from the rear, but the Yuan army fought hard and retreated.
Yuan Shu was lying on the stretcher, groggy, his mind was not belonging, his lips were chapped, and he was muttering something indistinctly.
Vaguely, he seemed to always hear someone around him crying or sobbing intermittently.
But none of this has anything to do with him for the time being.
When he started the army, Yuan Shu also thought that he would fail, but he never expected that he would lose so ugly.
In his sleep, Yuan Shu dreamed of the scene of his youth.
He recalled his colorful life in his dreams, and thought that when he was young, he rode his horse and whipped in Luoyang City, and went hand in hand with Yuan Shao.
Even the young Cao Cao, like a little follower, followed him and Yuan Shao all day long.
Every time these eunuchs went to hunt outside the city, the people on both sides of the road all looked sideways, and their eyes were respectful and envious.
After raising filial piety, he was re-elected to important positions such as Henan Yin and Hu Ben Zhonglang! Even after the great general He Jin grasped the power of the court, he was very close to himself, how high-spirited he was!
In the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, he and Wu Kuang raised troops into the palace, burned the Nine Dragon Gate of the South Palace, and forced the Ten Standing Servants to abandon the palace and flee, what a happy revenge!
After raising the army, he was in charge of the army, and even the Jiangdong Tigers like Sun Jian could only obey the command under his hands, and the princes of the world were all afraid, what a prestige they were!
Later, including the Feng family, who is beautiful and fragrant, how many beauties have fallen into their arms, and what kind of male heroes?
The scenes of the past passed by in Yuan Shu's mind, but in the end, they returned to the cruel reality.
Yuan Shu slowly opened his eyes and looked around weakly.
Around him were the remnants of the defeated soldiers, all of them were gray and bloodstained, and they were lying on a stretcher, being carried slowly in the mountain road, like a lost dog.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the potters, Zhang Xun did not even dare to take the main road.
"I didn't expect Yuan to have such an embarrassing moment......" Yuan Shu muttered in a sad tone.
"Ming Gong, are you awake?" Zhang Xun was next to Yuan Shu and hurriedly asked.
Yuan Shu turned his head to look at him, but saw Zhang Xun's bloody face, and his face was extremely tired.
At this critical moment, Yuan Shu felt a trace of guilt for the first time for the generals under him.
"Zhang Xun, the pottery merchant's soldiers and horses, but they are chasing after you?" Yuan Shu asked with difficulty.
Zhang Xun shook his head and sighed: "The soldiers and horses of the brigade have not yet arrived, only a small group of soldiers and horses are constantly attacking, and they have all been repelled by the last general. ”
"Yuan, how long have you been in a coma?"
Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Hui Minggong, it's been three days......"
"Three days?" Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "I was actually slept by the potter's childish coma for three whole days!" It's really sad and lamentable. ”
Yuan Shu closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
When he was young, he saw him exhale a long breath and said, "Zhang Xun, next, what do you say Yuan should do?"
Zhang Xun comforted Yuan Shu and said: "Duke Ming doesn't have to be so annoyed, the so-called victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and we still have 50,000 horses under the command of Liu Xun in Lujiang County!" After the Ming Gong returned to Shouchun, he worked hard, cultivated and raised the people, and fought the potters again in the future to avenge this! You're sure to win! ”
"Revenge?"
Yuan Shu laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "This time is different from the last time, the potter will not give Yuan a chance, neither will Lu Bu, nor will Sun Ce...... As Yuan expected, after they settled the affairs of Yuzhang County, they would raise troops to attack Lujiang County, and the people who fell into the well at that time were only afraid that there would be Cao Cao of Xu County and Liu Biao of Xiangyang...... The two of them are not idle, and they will definitely not let go of this great opportunity to carve up Yuan's territory. ”
Zhang Xun was anxious when he heard this: "Lord! So what about this, this? ”
So far, Yuan can only admit defeat...... Zhang Xun! You immediately send an envoy to Yecheng, Hebei, with Yuan's token, and ask the envoy to be sure to marry Yuan Shao...... Tell the original ...... I admit defeat, I am willing to be his subordinate, lead the people to take refuge, and worship him as the real master of the Yuan family. ”
"Ming Gong!" Zhang Xun roared, and he was about to shed tears: "Ming Gong, you have been arrogant for half your life, and you have been competing with that Yuan Shao for more than ten years, how can you bow to Yuan Shao because of a small defeat?!" ”
Yuan Shu closed his eyes, his face was full of pain, and sighed: "Zhang Xun, you listen to me, Yuan's body is only afraid that it is dying, you and Qiao Rui, Liang Gang and others are all capable generals, Yuan Shao is recruiting troops and horses, eager to expand his power, he will accept you, and after returning to Lujiang County, you will be the governor of all the troops and horses, let Liu Xun protect my son, and go to Qingzhou as fast as possible to the north coast, Yuan Tan will send troops to the plain, and want to map Tian Kai and Kong Rong, as long as Yuan Shao nods, Yuan Tan will send troops to meet you, And protect you! ”
Yuan Shu's words are "you, you", and when he hears this meaning, it doesn't seem to include himself.
Zhang Xun heard Yuan Shu say this, and he was anxious: "Ming Gong! What do you mean by that? Won't you come with us? ”
Yuan Shu laughed and said, "Yuan can feel it, after this battle, I am afraid that I will hurt my internal organs in a fit of anger, and I am afraid that I will not be able to survive for long...... Even if I can survive, I don't want to go to Yecheng, I have been fighting with Yuan Benchu for half my life, do I still have to succumb to him in the end? …… A letter of forgiveness is already Yuan's limit, if it weren't for the sake of leaving this bit of my blood and bones, I wouldn't even write this letter! Yuan is unwilling! Unwilling! ”
When Yuan Shu said this, his teeth bit his lip tightly, and his dry lips were almost bitten out of blood.
Zhang Xun looked extremely sad.
For such an arrogant person to finally make such a decision, this is even more uncomfortable for him than killing him.
"Lord, you have a good rest, the situation may not be as you think, the last general will immediately send someone to Hebei to deliver a letter and meet Yuan Shao...... Ming Gong, you haven't eaten rice grains for a few days, what do you want to eat? ”
Yuan Shu shook his head weakly and said, "I can't eat, I can't eat...... Is there honey syrup? I want to drink some honey syrup. ”
Zhang Xun turned his head and shouted, "Someone! Come! Do we still have honey syrup? Call the cook! ”
In a moment, the cook arrived.
"Is there still honey in the army?" Zhang Xun looked at him and asked.
The cooks in the army had faces covered in blood and dirt, and their armor was tattered, as if they had just been pulled out of a pile of dead men.
Hearing Zhang Xun's question, Cook couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The general forgives his sins!" There's really no honey syrup......"
Zhang Xun frowned, he had only been concerned about fighting and guarding against the pursuing soldiers recently, and he really didn't care about what food was left in the army.
"What else do we have in the army?"
The chief chef sighed: "Back to General Zhang, we only have 30 wheat crumbs left, which is the forage for feeding the horses, and we should use it for hunger at the moment." ”
Yuan Shu was lying on the stretcher, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but start convulsing.
He was punched in the heart again!
He Yuan Shu would have failed so miserably!?
50,000 soldiers and horses, from Shouchun to here, hundreds of thousands of stones and grass pulled out, after a few months of fighting, they came back with 3,000 remnants of soldiers, and 30 wheat crumbs......
Yuan Shu suddenly gasped like a bull's roar, and the sound of this wheezing became more and more urgent.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan Shu's face, which had just been somewhat softened, turned iron blue again.
Not only his face, but also his neck and chest were red, and he was faintly purple.
Zhang Xun was taken aback when he saw this: "Ming Gong! What's wrong with you? Ming Gong! ”
Yuan Shu's expression was extremely terrifying, and one of his eyes protruded outwards like copper bells, faintly, and even covered with bloodshots.
He suddenly shouted: "The sky is thin on me! Not even honey syrup! I hate it! ”
As he spoke, he saw his head tilted, and blood gushed out of his mouth.
Yuan Shu, because he didn't get the honey milk, died.
