Chapter 331: Loyal Ministers and Officials, Virtuous Ministers and Princes (Second Update)
"The state capital is really not as good as others, the atmosphere is majestic, the city is tall and thick, although it is not as good as Yecheng, but it is also a blessed land" Jiao Feng appreciated.
"What the general said is extremely true, when Emperor Wu canonized his second son Liu Hong as the king of Qi, Linzi is the royal capital of Qi, which shows that he has excellent feng shui" Sima Yi nodded.
"General, give the last general 5,000 people, and you can take Linzi in one fell swoop" Hearing this, Cheng Erhu asked for war in a sharp tone.
Hua Yan on the side suddenly showed a trace of worry on his face, and said with his fists clenched: "General, now Linzi is a lonely city, and there is nothing to do, please go to persuade the general to surrender and avoid using the sword."
Sima Yi smiled and said: "General, what General Hua Yan said is very true, go up to the army to fight, then to fight the enemy, and then to plan the army, this way, all over the city are open and surrendered, which shows that the officials and soldiers of Qingzhou still respect the king, but they are just confused for a while."
Jiao Feng nodded, looked at Hua Yan and said gently: "Ziping, then I will work hard for you again, tell them that as long as they put down their weapons and sincerely surrender, they will not be blamed for the past."
"Thank you, general" Hua Yan's face showed a trace of gratitude, and he hurriedly rode his horse out, but when he was halfway there, the wide gate of Linzi City suddenly opened, and he saw a tall, rugged face, a beard on his cheeks, his eyes were red and silky, and the general with a long scar on his left face held a big knife and rushed out with hundreds of cavalry.
"Mengyi," Hua Yan shouted excitedly.
After "Hua Yan" came to see Hua Yan, anger instantly rose in his red eyes, and he killed him with a big knife in his hand, shouting: "I beheaded you traitor"
Hua Yan was startled, and immediately grabbed it to block it, and with a bang, the official united battle was slashed on the barrel of the gun.
"Mengyi, you listen to my explanation" Hua Yan said with bitterness as he blocked the big knife that was pressed down with difficulty.
"You take refuge in Yuan Xi and betray the eldest prince, what else can you say" Lai Jiang raised his big knife again and slashed angrily.
The two fought together in an instant, Cheng Erhu looked at the powerful official, and said solemnly: "General, General Huayan is not the opponent of this reckless man."
Jiao Touch also saw that Hua Yan's own martial arts were average, and after adding guilt, he fell behind for a long time, and shouted: "General Hua Yan is back"
Hua Yan's eyes froze, and after a shot widened the distance slightly, he rode back into the army.
"A certain is the commander under the command of the eldest prince, who dares me to fight" The commander shouted loudly in the face of the mighty army.
Jiao was stunned for a moment, and then admired: "Ziping, who is this, Cheng Hu will also"
"General Yu, this person's name is Guan Tong, he is the eldest prince's favorite general, originally stationed in Le'an, but don't drive him back in order to stabilize Linzi, he is also the most loyal to the eldest prince" Hua Yan said helplessly.
"In this case, then there is no need to stay, general, let someone go and kill him" Hearing this, Cheng Erhu immediately said excitedly, in addition to the water army camp, this road is all about Kaecheng surrender, his big axe has long been hungry and thirsty, and the official martial arts are extraordinary, so it is really enjoyable.
Jiao Touch shook his head, looked at the management with a hideous face, and laughed loudly: "General Guan, you are only a few hundred people, why bother to use your mantis arm as a car, as long as you put down your weapon, you will be able to represent the king, and you will be not guilty."
"Less nonsense, a certain prince who only knows the eldest prince, but who does not know what the king" Guan Tong's face was full of madness.
"It's just looking for death" Seeing this scene, Cheng Erhu immediately held a big axe in his hand and prepared to rush up and kill this arrogant man.
"Fierce Righteousness"
At this time, a hurried shout sounded, and I saw a middle-aged man with a long beard and a calm temperament rushing out with many officials.
"Shuzhi?" After Hua Yan saw it clearly, a trace of excitement crossed his face, the person who came was really Qingzhou Don't drive, Yuan Tan's first minister, Wang Xuan.
After looking back, Guan Tong shouted unwillingly: "Don't drive, Tong will not surrender"
"Bastard, do you want to harm the people in the audience and the eldest son?" Wang Xuan said angrily.
Guan Tongzhen held the big knife tightly, and his face was full of grievances.
"Don't come back yet," Wang Xuan ordered solemnly.
Guan Tong gritted his teeth and shouted frantically, and then rode his horse back.
After seeing that the management was back, Wang Xuan glanced sideways, and immediately led the officials to Jiao Touch's salute and said: "The criminal minister Wang Xuan led the civil and military forces of Qingzhou to meet the general."
A trace of surprise flashed on Jiao Touch's face, originally he thought that Wang Xuan was so talented, at least he would hold on, but he didn't expect to surrender in this way.
Sima Yi smiled slightly, a hint of appreciation on his face.
After Jiao Touch took the people over, he got off the horse, looked at the arrogant ruler who was still full of hostility not far away, shook his head and smiled, and said softly to Wang Yu, who bowed his head and surrendered.
"Really," replied Wang.
Jiao touched the open city gate, and wondered: "Don't drive with such a heart, why do you want to block our army on the side of the Shang River?"
Wang Xuan slowly raised his head and said with a bitter face: "As a minister, I am reasonable and reasonable, I must do something for the history of assassination!" From the Lord's testament to the present, I have been waiting for nearly two months."
"Then why did you surrender now?" Jiao Touch continued.
"Wang Shi has crossed the Shang River, thousands of miles of Pingchuan, Qingzhou has no owner, will have no ambition, no soldiers, it is impossible to stop, if it is not for the fierce loyalty, the warriors have long been tied up, as a merit to the general, now the army is coming to the city, the general trend is gone, and why sacrifice the soldiers in vain, do useless work, all the fault is the fault of one person, and other people have nothing to do with it, and please ask the general to be aware of it" Wang Xuan asked for the guilty road again.
"Don't drive like this, the king has an order, as long as you are sincerely obedient, everything will not be pursued" Jiao Touch said softly.
"Thank you," Wang Yu thanked him.
"Shuzhi, I'm really afraid that you will hold on" Hua Yan also walked over and said with a wry smile.
"Ziping, I've worked hard for you, everything we have done has been right, this is the will of God, not human" Wang Xuan sighed.
"Haha, don't drive, you are really Sima Yi's admiration" Sima Yi stood up and gave a salute with a sigh.
"The general is serious," Wang Yu hurriedly returned the salute.
"It's not serious, don't drive it, in two months, Qingzhou is dominated by you, you could have done a lot of things, but your official uniform is still sewn" Sima Yi suddenly pointed to a vague place under Wang's armpit, only to see that there was indeed a patch pasted with gauze, if you didn't look carefully, you almost ignored it.
"This" Jiao Touch was shocked instantly, Wang Xuan is a dignified driver! In addition to Yuan Tan, the governor of a state.
"The two generals, I don't know, don't be upright, fair and selfless, restrain the strong, reward and punish clearly, except for Yu Lu, I don't go a penny, and I am deeply loved by the people" I saw an official behind Wang Yu, standing up and saying.
"Yes! Let's just say that during this time, many scholars tried to take advantage of the ownerless situation in Qingzhou, filled their own pockets, wantonly encroached on land, and bribed Bei Jie with countless amounts of money, but they were all rejected by Bei Jie one by one, and they also fell back to the general to stabilize the situation and prevent the people from being harmed" Another official also admired.
"It's rare, it's rare, don't be a generation of virtuous ministers" Sima Yi shook his head with a sigh, virtuous ministers not only have strict requirements for themselves, but also do things that are beneficial to the country, the king, and the people, while loyal ministers only do what they think is right, a dynasty needs loyal ministers, but it needs virtuous ministers even more.
The official commander is a loyal minister, he only thinks about Yuan Tan, and Wang Xuan is a virtuous minister, on the basis of struggle, he also cares about the well-being of the people, the life and death of the soldiers, and he does not care about his own interests, but also cares about others.
"General, everyone, you are too awarded, this is just the duty of an official," Wang Xuan said modestly.
"Haha, how many officials can really do this duty, don't drive the king, the king will definitely reuse you" Sima Yi said with certainty.
Hearing this, the other officials immediately showed joy, and Wang Yu shook his head lightly, and said with a suddenly tired face: "Thank you General Sima, but if you can get the king's forgiveness, you just want to return to the fields, and work with books, this official is too tired."
"What" was shocked, Wang Yu actually wanted to go into hiding, and just when he was about to persuade, suddenly a violent quarrel sounded from the side.
I saw Cheng Erhu looking down at the official commander, and the eyes of both of them flashed with anger.
"A certain will cripple you" Cheng Erhu said coldly, his angry hair was like an iron brush, as if the lion king had been violated by his majesty.
"Come on, you will cut off your children and grandchildren if you are beaten" Although the official commander looked up, his momentum was not weak at all.
"Bastard, what are you doing" Seeing this scene, Jiao said angrily.
"General, this guy is very arrogant, the last general has to clean him up today, otherwise something will definitely happen" After Cheng Erhu finished speaking, he said coldly: "If you have the ability, you will come with so-and-so, fight alone, don't let the soldiers be harmed"
"Come on"
After finishing speaking, the two immediately got on their respective war horses, holding weapons in their hands, Cheng Erhu said, "You can find a place!" ”
The "good" officials reined in and reversed course.
The soldier behind the "general" officer said anxiously.
"Don't follow me, don't drive what you said is good, the general trend has gone, from today onwards, you are all soldiers of the future Dayan, and you have nothing to do with my official command, so be loyal to Yuan Xi" Although the official commander was resolute and disrespectful, his tone was indeed full of concern.
"Mengyi" Hearing this, Wang Yu shouted anxiously.
"Don't drive, please let the last general do the last thing for the eldest prince!" After the official commander hugged his fist sadly, he rode away directly.
The corners of Cheng Erhu's mouth raised, and he immediately followed.
"These two bastards" Jiao Touch was just about to give the order to have someone bring them back, when Sima Yi suddenly smiled and said, "General, don't worry, let them go!" The eldest brother of the second tiger seems to be impulsive, but he actually understands the general situation very well, although the official general is a little stupid, but he also understands the general trend, the military general is in the competition to produce friendship, there will be no worries about life, just send someone to follow"
After Jiao Touch sighed, he said angrily: "When they come back, we must clean them up"
"Haha, general, let's go into the city to see the situation in Linzi first!" Sima Yi said with a smile.
After Jiao Touch nodded, he suddenly grabbed Wang Xuan's wrist and said seriously: "Don't drive, the king won't let you go, and the king won't allow you to be so talented, so he will go into hiding, the touch is a rough man and can't speak, but he will also pull you back to Yecheng."
After finishing speaking, he directly pulled Wang Yu towards the city.
"General, general" Wang Xuan's little strength, how could he resist Jiao Touch, and he was suddenly pulled into the city with a helpless face.
Sima Yi smiled appreciatively, looked at the tall Linzi City, and muttered: "So Qingzhou is determined."
