Chapter 447: The Army's Morale Is Weakened
Now it's Yuan Shang's turn to be dumbfounded, how could things turn out like this. The collusion with foreigners was actually known by Liu Yu, and the whole world knew about it.
And Liu Yu has now killed him with a large army, and he really has no choice.
Yuan Shang called Lu Yi over and scolded loudly: "Lu Yi, how do you do things? Well, now the whole world knows about it! Now I'm just being called a traitor. ”
As if he had absolute confidence, he said, "Lord, don't worry. The so-called success and defeat of the king, as long as he wins, he will not say anything. Liu Yu was annoyed and embarrassed and sent troops, his border defense must be empty, and those Hu people will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. When the Hu people of all ethnic groups send troops, then Liu Yu has to return to the army to defend. When the time comes, our army will take the opportunity to counterattack, then Liu Yu will definitely be defeated. ”
Here comes the thing that can be slapped in the face. One of the envoys sent by Koji to contact the foreign Hu people returned, and it should be said that only one person came back alive, or he was scarred all over his body.
The Hu people are all forgetful of their righteousness, and they believe that a big fist is the truth. Now Liu Yu has the biggest fist, and he also made cruel words, and also wiped out a tribe of the Southern Xiongnu, killing chickens and monkeys. The Hu people were worried that they were being remembered by Liu Yu, so they wanted to show Liu Yu that they had no intention of going south, and the best way to prove it was undoubtedly the heads of these messengers who came to lobby. Therefore, Hu Ren, who was originally smiling and receiving Yuan Shang's envoy with good wine and food, quickly changed his face and picked up the butcher's knife and killed the envoy in the tribe.
The surviving messenger was more clever and left before the Hu people could start their movements, but in the end they were chased and killed by the Hu people, and they were seriously injured, and finally fled back to the Han realm.
The surviving messenger informed Yuan Shang and Lu Yi of everything that happened on the grassland, and after he finished speaking, he died of his injuries.
This situation shows one thing, that is, the Hu people's side is no longer reliable, and they will not send troops.
Yuan Shang sat on the ground weakly, and he now regretted why he had listened to Ko Yi in the first place. Koji Yi's face was also flushed, and this slap was really loud.
Xin Ping and Xin Bi even came directly to question Yuan Shang.
"Lord, why are you colluding with the Hu people?" Xin Ping looked angry.
Xin Bi even scolded: "Traitor! I, Xinbi, am a Han Chinese. Shame on you! ”
Koji Yi said with an unkind face: "You two, you want to know your identity. And pay attention to what you say, or don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
"What can you do with me?! Kind of kill me! "Simbik has a fiery temper and has a seizure on the spot.
Koji's broadsword was pulled out directly.
Yuan Shang suddenly stopped them and said, "Okay, the matter has come to this, don't kill each other." ”
Seeing this, Lu Yi put the big knife back, and Xin Ping arched his hand to Yuan Shang and said, "Lord, the two brothers and I have come to ask the lord to resign today!" ”
Yuan Shang looked at Xin Ping blankly, and his heart was full of taste, this was a precursor to the centrifugation of soldiers.
"Why are you like that?" Yuan Shang said helplessly.
When Xin Bi was about to scold Yuan Shang for colluding with Hu Ren, Xin Ping stopped him and said, "Lord, there are some things we don't have to say. Please let me wait for my brother to leave. ”
Xin Ping's words kept cutting Yuan Shang's heart like a knife, and Yuan Shang finally agreed, saying, "Okay, you can leave if you want." ”
"Farewell!" Xin Ping quickly left the place with Xin Bi.
"Lord, these two people will definitely take refuge in Liu Yu. Can't let them leave alive! Koji Yi said anxiously.
Yuan Shang looked at Lu Yi with blank eyes, and said, "What's the use of killing them now, can you get anything back?" Let's let them go. ”
Why did Yuan Shang have such a decision, the main reason is that he is already disheartened. He didn't nod, no matter how arrogant Koyi was, he wouldn't dare to kill Xin Ping and Xin Bi, so there would be problems.
It didn't take long for Gao Ran to rush in in a panic and said, "The lord is not good, the soldiers heard that the lord colluded with the Hu people, and many of them chose to leave Nanpi, and some even caused a mutiny. The last general really can't stop it. ”
"What!" Yuan Shang stood up directly in fright. If it is said that the departure of Xin Ping and Xin Bi did not have much impact on Yuan Shang, this mutiny is a very dangerous thing.
Although many of the soldiers under Yuan Shang's command were illiterate and illiterate, and they all served as soldiers for a bite to eat, they had a belief that they were Han people, and if they were Han people, they should protect the Han people from foreign invasion. Now their leader, Yuan Shang, is colluding with the Hu people for his own selfish interests, and they would rather not eat this bowl of rice than serve such a person. There were also many soldiers who felt that they had been deceived, and spontaneously picked up their weapons to ask Yuan Shang for clarification. Gao Ran couldn't stop it, so he could only come and ask Yuan Shang how to deal with it.
"These people are trying to rebel! General Gao, you still don't send troops to suppress it! Koji jumped up.
Gao Ran ignored Lu Yi and said to Yuan Shang: "Lord, what should I do in the end?" ”
Yuan Shang's mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do now.
Just when Yuan Shang hesitated, a scout rushed in like crazy, knelt down in front of Yuan Shang and said, "Lord, Liu Yu's vanguard generals Lu Bu and Zhao Yun have broken through the defense line outside Nanpi County. Many soldiers of our army defected, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun are now going straight to Nanpi City, and Liu Yu's army is also following in the future! ”
Yuan Shang vomited blood, which really killed him.
"Lord, the last general will lead the army to resist Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, please make a quick decision!" Gao Ran knew that the situation was urgent, and he had to stabilize people's hearts, otherwise he would not be able to hold it at all.
"Please, General Gao." Yuan Shang hurriedly agreed to Gao Lan.
After Gao Ran went out, Yuan Shang said to Ko Yi: "General Koji, you go down to arrange, you can't let Nanpi cause chaos, you can act cheaply." ”
"The last will understand." Koji went down happily, and acting cheaply is the greatest right. Koji kills whoever he wants.
Gao Ran took his troops and horses to kill in the direction of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun.
Halfway through, his lieutenant Wang Men said, "General, the last general has something to say. ”
"What?" Gao Ran stopped.
"Now that Yuan Shang is gone, he is colluding with the Hu people, if we follow Yuan Shang, we will be traitors and sinners who have been scolded through the ages. Why don't the generals lead us to surrender to King Zhao? We really don't want to help the abuse. Wang Men said sincerely.
"You..." Gao Ran was shocked, and his subordinates actually had the intention of betraying Yuan Shang. But Gao Ran looked at the other soldiers as if they were also like Wang Men's expressions, and he hesitated a little in his heart.
Wang Men continued: "General, we shouldn't do anything to betray the master, but Yuan Shang violated the bottom line of being a Han person. Is the general willing to see our soldiers shed their blood and sacrifice for such people?! ”
Gao Ran struggled, he didn't want to be a traitor, but he couldn't do it.
Seeing Gao Ran's tangled expression, the other soldiers all knelt down and said, "Please think twice, general!" ”
Looking at his subordinates kneeling on the ground, Gao Ran sighed and said, "Okay, I would have been born and died for the Yuan family for many years, and it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of my acquaintance." Anyway, Ben will lead you to join King Zhao. ”
"The general is wise!" Wang Men and the others shouted excitedly.
After Gao Ran finished speaking, he felt that his heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and it seemed that he had made the right decision.
