Chapter 247: Anti-Guest-oriented
【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.
There was silence in the big tent, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it was breathless.
Li Meng, Fan Chou and others sat in the tent, their heads bowed, and no one dared to speak. Within a few days, the situation changed dramatically. Li Meng and Fan Chou hesitated, missed the great fighter plane that attacked Sun Ce, and watched Sun Ce seize Xi County. After entering the county, Sun Ce quickly moved westward, Wang Fang fled without a fight, Wuguan had been re-controlled by Sun Ce, and they were cut off from the back road and had become a lone army.
"Someone, push Wang Fang out and behead the public, so as to show military law."
Xu Rong shouted lowly, like an angry tiger, although the voice was not loud, but the momentum contained in it made people tremble, and he couldn't help but shiver. Wang Fang suddenly softened, collapsed on the ground, and couldn't say a complete sentence, just kowtowed again and again.
The two guards rushed over, picked up the king and walked out. Wang Fang's legs were weak, and he couldn't stand on his feet at all, so he could only drag on the ground. He burst into tears, looking helplessly at Li Meng and the others, his lips trembling, and he couldn't stop crying.
"Yuan Qi, save me-"
Li Meng gritted his teeth, his face pale. He and Wang Fang were good friends, but at this moment, Xu Rong was furious, and he didn't dare to speak easily. The reason why Wang Fang lost was inseparable from their failure to attack Sun Ce. If they hadn't delayed the fighter planes at that time and the attack was successful, there would have been no such thing as now.
"Drink!" There was a loud shout outside the tent, and someone brought the wine and asked Wang Fang to drink a bowl of severed head wine. Wang Fang held the wine bowl, his hands trembled, but he couldn't send it to his mouth, but spilled more than half of it. The guards who executed him looked at him coldly, their eyes were sarcastic, these Xiliang people were usually arrogant, and they didn't even pay attention to Xu Rong, but now they are cowardly when they die.
"Hurry up! If you don't drink it again, you will spill it all. One of the guards shouted sharply, and slowly drew his long knife, the blade scraping the scabbard and swallowing it, making a piercing grinding sound. Wang Fang was shocked, suddenly woke up, threw the wine bowl, turned around and threw himself into the big tent, and rushed to Xu Rong with a roll, tightly holding the table in front of Xu Rong.
"General, general, this responsibility is not mine." Wang Fang hurriedly said: "How did I know that Sun Ce would enter Wuguan Dao, you ...... Why haven't you taken Xixian for so long, why, why? ”
Xu Rong snorted, sneered silently, and swept his gaze over the faces of the generals in the tent.
Li Meng and the others were red-faced, embarrassed, and did not dare to look at Xu Rong, let alone Wang Fang. Only Zhang Liao was calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water. It wasn't until this moment that he understood a little bit of Xu Rong's intentions. If it weren't for making such a big mistake, let alone killing Wang Fang, even if it was scolding Wang Fang, these Xiliang people would not give up. At this moment, they are in a desperate situation, they feel the threat of death, and they no longer dare to be arrogant.
Xu Rong sneered: "Wang Fang, I killed you, not because you were not Sun Ce's opponent, but because you left without a fight and failed to buy time for us to recapture Xi County." Wuguandao is lost, you should understand the consequences, don't talk about you alone, even if all of us together can't afford it. The consequences are so serious, if you don't kill you, how can you convince the public? ”
"General, since that's the case, then I ask the general to give me a chance." Wang Fang was in a hurry, his face was red and white for a while, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and white saliva piled up at the corners of his mouth. "Please let me make meritorious service and join the daredevils. I'd rather die on the battlefield than die so unclear. ”
Xu Rong was silent, his expression a little loose.
Seeing this, Li Meng hurriedly stood up and saluted. "Please be gracious to the general and give the king a chance, I, Li Meng, am willing to vouch for the king with my life." As he spoke, he glanced at Fan Chou and the others, signaling them to come and intercede for Wang Fang. Fan Chou and the others had no choice but to get up one after another and beg Xu Rong for mercy.
Xu Rong's face turned cold. "Don't you know the situation yet? It's all at this time, and you still treat military orders as nothing? If you had listened to my commands, why would you be where you are today? Now that Wuguandao is cut off, we have become a lone army, the grain and grass are cut off, and the destruction of the whole army is just around the corner. When the time comes, not only Wang Fang will die, but all of us will die soon, and none of us will be able to escape. He leaned back and sighed: "It's ridiculous to think about it, a year ago, we broke Sun Jian, but a year later, we were cornered by Sun Jian's son." ”
Li Meng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and immediately said loudly: "What the general said is very true, we have broken Cao Cao and Sun Jian under the command of the general, and we are invincible, how can Sun Ce be the general's opponent?" In the past, we were proud to underestimate the enemy and let down the general, but now we understand and are willing to listen to the general's command. I beg the general to give me another chance to wait, and lead us to defeat Sun Ce and behead him. ”
Fan Chou and others also reacted. At this moment, if you don't listen to Xu Rong's order, everyone will die, and it is definitely not Wang Fang's business alone.
"I am willing to listen to the general's command."
Xu Rong's thick eyebrows shrugged slightly, and slowly flattened again. "Since you say so, I'll give it a try. First of all, I would like to reiterate the military order, from now on, those who violate our military order will be killed. ”
"Whoa!"
"Come, pull the king out, and take twenty rods heavily. Dismissed from military service, serving in front of the account. ”
Wang Fang was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, didn't need a personal guard to pull it, and took the initiative to walk out of the big tent to be punished. Listening to the military stick hitting Wang Fang's body, Li Meng and the others twitched their cheeks, but no one dared to squeak. After the execution, Wang Fang was already unconscious. Xu Rong immediately ordered that Wang Fang's subordinates be incorporated into the Chinese army, and he personally commanded them. From now on, the whole army will attack Nanxiang and Shunyang, and those who violate the order will be beheaded for public display.
The generals agreed.
Two days later, Xu Rong broke through Nanxiang and slaughtered the city. Five days later, Shunyang was broken again and the city was slaughtered.
Successive attacks were successful, the Xiliang army captured a large amount of food and money, temporarily solved the supply crisis, and the bloody killing also aroused their morale. At the same time, Xu Rong passed on the nearby counties and was ordered to quell the rebellion, and those who surrendered were spared death, and those who resisted were regarded as rebels.
A few days later, Xu Rong surrounded the champion and sent cavalry to the vicinity of Qicheng and Anzhong to plunder and forcibly recruit the people.
For a time, the people of Nanyang were panicked, and the people of the champion and the city were worried about being slaughtered by the Xiliang army, so they fled with their families, some fled to the nearest county seat or the powerful manor, some fled north to Wancheng, and some simply fled to the south and fled to Xiangyang.
In the face of the cruel Xiliang Army, the family Haoqiang, who had been indifferent, felt the threat of death. While reinforcing the manor's defenses, they sent people to Wancheng for help, while the closest champion to Licheng, Suixian, sent an envoy directly to Licheng, begging Sun Ce to send troops to support. As early as when Duan Xuan was attacking the two counties, they received news that this Xiliang general surnamed Duan had just been defeated by Sun Ce in Licheng not long ago, and he was defeated.
Sun Ce rushed back from Wuguan and was waiting for Xu Rong to attack in Xixian County, but he didn't expect to wait for the messengers from various counties to ask for help. After listening to the messengers' cries, Sun Ce suddenly felt his scalp tingle.
