152. The fall of the hero
Liu Bei came to the mansion, Yan Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Liu Bei leaned over and helped him up. opened his mouth and said: "The name of Mr. Yan Xiang, I have admired it for a long time!" ”
Yan Xiang waved his hand again and again: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!" As he spoke, he let Liu Bei and a few others into the lobby. Entering the lobby, Yan Xiang immediately asked Liu Bei to take a seat, while he himself was in the guest seat.
It has reached this point, Liu Bei no longer conceals his intentions, he groaned a little and then said: "Mr. Yan has always been talented, and now the pearl is secretly invested!" I intend to recruit Mr. Yan to come to my command, I don't know what Mr. wants? ”
Yan Xiang smiled bitterly, and immediately got up and saluted: "The lord will not give up, I am willing to serve the dogs and horses!" ”
"Hahaha, good! In this case, Mr. can pack up his home first, and then return to Qingzhou with the army! Liu Bei laughed.
"It's all at the command of the Lord!" At this time, Yan Xiang also accepted his fate, but surrendering Liu Bei was not bad, it was better than being killed by Yang Hong's villain!
Liu Bei's goal was achieved, and he no longer left a few soldiers to help Yan Xiang pack up his things, and then took a few people behind him out and went straight to the palace, at this time the battle in the palace was still going on! Yuan Yin, under Yuan Shu, with the remnants of the army, still stuck to the palace wall, and at this time Cao Cao ordered the army to stop attacking! He rode to the gate of the palace and shouted with his head high: "Yuan Highway, I am Cao Mengde!" Come out to see me quickly! ”
On the palace wall, Yuan Yin frowned, but he immediately sighed and ordered his subordinates to report to Yuan Shu as soon as possible. At this time, Yuan Shu was wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown! He sat alone on top of the main hall, accompanied by only a personal eunuch.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and a soldier ran in, covered in blood. As soon as he entered the main hall, he knelt down on his knees and said: "Your Majesty, there is Cao Mengde outside the palace gate, I invite you to go and see it!" ”
"Cao Mengde! Hahaha! He's just a eunuch! As soon as Yuan Shu heard that it was Cao Cao, he immediately laughed. But then he thought of something, his face became gloomy, and then he stood up and said, "That's it, I'll go see him!" ”
After speaking, Yuan Shu strode out, and the personal eunuch followed closely behind him! Yuan Shu came to the palace wall and looked out, only to see the army outside, surrounded by swords and guns! Before the army, there was a person who rode alone and stood with his head held high, not Cao Cao or who!
Yuan Shu was immediately furious when he saw Cao Cao, and pointed with his hand: "Cao Mengde, why don't you worship when you see Lone!" ”
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shu, who looked like a mad dog, and sneered: "Yuan Highway, you are still daydreaming to this day!" You are just a false emperor, how dare you be worshiped by me! ”
"Cao Mengde! You are just a eunuch, how dare you be presumptuous! I, the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, I should sit in the world of the Han Dynasty, why are you not convinced! Yuan Shu roared.
"Hahaha! Yuan Highway! Yuan Highway! Now you think you're at the end of your rope! Don't wake up yet to bring more waiting! Cao Mengde looked up to the sky and laughed.
Yuan Shu looked at Cao Cao in a daze, and suddenly covered his heart with his hand, and with a shock and colic, he spurted out a mouthful of blood! After vomiting blood, Yuan Shu's momentum on his body decreased sharply, and he looked up to the sky and sighed. "The lonely destiny returns, but the sky has no eyes! Let the shaft dominate! ”
Cao Cao was under the city, and when he looked at Yuan Shu, he felt pity in his heart! He immediately spoke: "Yuan Highway, you have descended!" I can play the emperor and spare your life! ”
Yuan Shu laughed and said, "Cao Mengdegu, thank you for your kindness!" I know that you want the heirloom jade seal! You give Lone two hours, and after two hours, the palace door will open itself, and Lone will give you an explanation! ”
After speaking, he ignored Cao Cao and turned around and left, Cao Cao sighed and immediately ordered: "The whole army stops attacking, just surround this place!" ”
Liu Bei had already joined Guan Yu at this time, and they had witnessed the conversation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu throughout the whole process. At this time, Liu Bei also sighed with emotion: "Zicong, do you know what Yuan Shu is going to do in two hours?" ”
Han Fei knew it in his heart, but he deliberately shook his head and pretended not to know. Liu Bei sighed and explained: "He already has a will to die in his heart, if what I expected is not bad!" Then Yuan Shu must be going to bathe and change clothes, and then drink doves and kill himself! This person deserves to be a hero! There's nothing going on here, let's go back! ”
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he took the lead in turning the horse's head and looking out, Han Fei and Guan Yu glanced at each other and followed together! Liu Bei left without mentioning it, and then talked about Yuan Shu!
As Liu Bei said, after returning to the palace, he first bathed and changed his clothes, and then returned to the main hall! Yuan Shu looked at the dragon chair on the main hall and suddenly laughed wildly! "Hahaha! Lone is the emperor of Zhongguo! The proud son of the Yuan family! The world is lonely! This position can only be taken by the lonely! Then he strode to the front of the seat and sat down!
Then he looked at the empty hall and imagined that countless civil and military forces below were worshipping! Yuan Shu neatly dressed and said to the bottom: "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" At this time, the personal eunuch quickly came to Yuan Shu's side with a tray, and there were two items on the tray, one was the heirloom jade seal wrapped in yellow silk! The other is a porcelain bottle containing poison that seals the throat with blood!
"Your Majesty, the things are here!" The personal eunuch said in a trembling voice.
"Bring it to Lone!" Yuan Shu said.
The eunuch didn't dare to disobey and presented the tray to Yuan Shu's eyes. Yuan Shu first put the jade seal in his hand, he opened the yellow silk, and looked at the jade seal engraved with "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity", consciously ironic! Unconsciously said to himself: "Since you live alone in the sky, why can't you dominate the world!" Heaven is unfair! Heaven is unfair! ”
After that, he casually threw the jade seal aside, and picked up the porcelain bottle in the tray! Open the lid and drain the bottle in one gulp! Yuan Shu only felt a colicic pain in his abdomen, and the porcelain bottle in his hand couldn't hold it, and fell to the ground and shattered. In just a few breaths, Yuan Shu bled to death in seven holes! A generation of heroes has fallen.
When the personal eunuch saw Yuan Shu dead, he immediately hit his head against the pillar and followed Yuan Shu. Two hours later, sure enough, the palace gate was opened, and Yuan Yin led the remnants of the army to completely disarm and surrender! The Yuan Shu group was thus annihilated by Liu Bei and Cao Cao.
After Sun Ce learned that Yuan Shu was dead, he could send troops to attack Yuhang Xu Shao. Xu Shao was defeated and finally destroyed by Sun Ce, so far there is no one in the south except Liu Xuan who is Sun Ce's opponent!
After Yuan Shu's death, Liu Bei's army returned to Qingzhou, and Runan and Shouchun City fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's strength increased greatly, and then surpassed Liu Bei to become the first prince of the Central Plains. However, Liu Bei's trip was also very fruitful, Shangcai City was included in his pocket and not to mention, Yan Xiang and Qiao Rui were also the biggest gains of his trip!
Liu Bei did not follow the army, it turned out that when the army returned, Liu Bei received a letter from home! Mrs. Gan found out that there was joy, and Liu Bei was overjoyed at the moment and took Dian Wei Han Fei to leave the brigade and go to Changyi City!
