Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 8 Closing the Net
"Guys, toast!" Adou raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all. []
The courtiers below also raised their wine glasses one after another, and should be killed in harmony.
In the corner, the two invited heads of the family were secretly biting their ears.
"Brother, do you hear the sound outside?"
"Nonsense, can I not hear it......"
"Dude, I think there's something wrong with this!"
"You can see it, this banquet has been more than an hour since the beginning of the hour, you look at Your Majesty like that, it seems that you have just come to the interest, I see, Your Majesty seems to be waiting for something."
"I think it's the same, tonight there will be people on the ground, and blood will flow like a river."
"Hey, brother, be clever for a while, until the last moment, don't speak, see clearly before ......"
"Brother direction, I'll listen to you."
As soon as this person's voice fell, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and I saw Zhang Wei running in quickly, and when he saw Adou, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, a traitor has entered the palace." β
"What a traitor, take your time!"
"Your Majesty, there are about two thousand thieves in a gang. people, suddenly captured the palace gate, and now General Chen Zhi is leading people to block it. As soon as Zhang Wei's words fell, a surprised sigh immediately sounded around him.
Next to Guan Yu was still sitting there with his eyes. Squinted slightly, but he kept paying attention to the performance of the people around him, and Zhang Fei seemed to have sobered up all of a sudden, sat up straight, and waited for his eyes to look at the people below.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you willing to go out with me to investigate. See what? Adou asked.
A few scheming guys, you look at me, I look at you, everyone. I know, this meal has been eaten for more than an hour, and now the show is finally going to be staged.
β¦β¦
Zhu Ling looked at the white-eared elite soldiers standing in a row in front of him, and his heart rose slightly. There was a sense of war. Zhu Ling has been marching and fighting for forty years, and now the momentum emanating from the white-eared elite soldiers in front of him, Zhu Ling can make a judgment that these people in front of him are all elite soldiers of a hundred battles, even if they are no worse than the elite tiger cavalry of the Wei State.
"This is the most elite white-eared elite soldier of the Shu army, and it is really extraordinary!" Zhu Ling sighed slightly.
At this moment, the crowd. Separated from the side, a biao man flashed behind the crowd, the person was less than twenty years old, wearing a black robe and a golden dragon embroidered on it, but he looked very sophisticated in his gestures. And behind this young man, followed by a large number of people, hurriedly swept over at least more than 200 people, both civil and martial, and the more conspicuous ones were Guan Yu, who was more than nine feet tall, and Zhang Fei, who was black-faced, who followed closely behind the young man.
The moment he saw the black dragon robe, Zhu Ling knew that the young man in front of him was Adou, the new little emperor of Shu Han.
"You are Liu Chan?" Zhu Ling asked.
"Yes, I think you should be Zhu Ling!" Adou also asked.
"Hehehe, I'm Zhu Ling!" At this time, Zhu Ling didn't think about why Adou knew him.
Adou sighed slightly: "Zhu Ling, I see that you should be arrested!" This is Chang'an City, it is Weiyang Palace, you can't run. β
"I can't run? Hehehe, Liu Chan, do you know that in a while, this Chang'an City will change its surname to Cao! Zhu Ling laughed.
"Change your surname to Cao? Zhu Ling, don't dream, now that Cao Zhen is still confronting Zhuge Cheng, you don't think that Cao Zhen will be Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's opponent! β
"Hehe, you don't need Cao Zhen to be the governor, you can still take this Chang'an City!" Zhu Ling took a step forward as he spoke, stretched out his finger and pointed to the west, and said: "I think that now that the west gate of Chang'an has been captured, hundreds of thousands of disaster victims are pouring into this Chang'an City, you naively think that with this little bit of people in Chang'an City, you can stop these hundreds of thousands of disaster victims!" β
As soon as Zhu Ling's words came out, the faces of the ministers of civil and military affairs behind Adou changed greatly, and at this time, everyone finally understood why Zhu Ling dared to attack this Weiyang Palace, it turned out that there were such big hole cards.
"Liu Chan, I advise you not to resist obediently, honestly go back to Xu Du with me, when the time comes, Your Majesty will be able to spare your life, if your luck is better, you can also mix a peaceful marquis, if you are stubborn and stubborn, today you will blame me Zhu Ling's ruthlessness!"
Adou snorted coldly and was speechless, while Zhu Ling continued: "Everyone, now that Chang'an City is in danger, if you surrender early, I, Zhu Ling, hereby promise that I will never hurt a single hair of your hair!" β
Zhu Ling's words caused a slight commotion among the courtiers behind Adou. Greed for life and fear of death is to recognize nature, especially a few of them, who are already eager to stand up and surrender.
Adou looked to the sides slightly, which made the people behind him quiet a little, and then Adou said in a slightly low voice: "What do you think Aiqing should do now?" β
"Your Majesty, now that the city gate has been lost, and the victims outside the city have poured into the city, this Chang'an City is in danger, and the minister thinks that it is better to surrender to Wei......" A voice came from behind, Adou turned his head to look, and it was Du Qiong who spoke.
Du Qiong is a native of Chengdu, but also a great Confucian in Shu, this year is more than 50 years old, when Liu Zhang era, Du Qiong was engaged in Liu Zhang's hands, and later Liu Bei was the Yizhou pastor, and Du Qiong was promoted to Cao Cao, the day before yesterday when Adou ascended the throne, Du Qiong was born as a doctor.
"Descending Wei?" A smile appeared on Adou's face.
"What Your Majesty said is that now the Cao family rules the world, it is the will of heaven, and the ancient official position does not speak of Cao; Since the Han Dynasty has come, the famous officials have said Cao, so that the words belong to Cao, and the pawns serve Cao, which is also the will of heaven. Du Qiong continued.
Du Qiong means that there is no word "Cao" in the names of ancient officials, but in the Han Dynasty, the name of the official has the word "Cao", such as the four Shangshu set up in the Han Dynasty, the so-called "four Cao" were scored, and later "Sangong Cao" was added.
Adou smiled slightly, this sour Confucian can really talk nonsense, with the word "Cao" among the officials, he said that the world should belong to the Cao family, I really don't know how he thought of it.
But Adou is not in a hurry, Adou is now luring the snake out of the hole, not only to lure out the spies hidden in Chang'an City, but also to lure out those officials in the court who are interested in Cao Wei. So Adou is happy to let these people show their feet.
Adou deliberately showed a hesitant expression on his face, but the corner of his eye kept peeking at the performance of the people around him, and all those who seemed eager to try, Adou silently remembered it in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Du Qiong said is very true, at this time, Your Majesty might as well surrender to Wei. Lord Wei is merciful, and he will inevitably tear the soil to seal His Majesty, so that he can defend the temple by himself, and he can protect the people of Li, may His Majesty think about ......it" Another person stood up, Adou looked up, this person was eight feet long, and his body was simple, it was Guanglu Doctor Zhou.
Qian Zhou is a native of Xichong, Brazil, and a famous Confucian in Shu, even if it is placed in the entire Han Dynasty, it can be counted. It is worth mentioning that Qian Zhou is the teacher of Chen Shou, the author of the Three Kingdoms.
Adou then smiled, but there was a faint hint of killing intent in the laughter, in history, Deng Aibing entered Chengdu, there were still 30,000 troops in Chengdu, there was enough food and grass, and it could last for a long time, Jiang Wei's army was also rushing back to Chengdu, and the reinforcements of Dongwu had also set off, but it was this Zhou Zhou who persuaded the queen at that time to surrender. However, the main ears were soft, so he listened to Zhou Zhou's wishes, and Kaicheng surrendered to Deng Ai. It can be said that if it weren't for Qian Zhou, Shu would at least be able to hold out for a while longer.
Now Zhuge Liang's army is not far from Chang'an, and there are many soldiers in the city who can fight, and there are also many soldiers in the rear of Lizhou, who can fight in a roundabout way, and the Shu army has the capital to fight against the Wei army, but this Qian Zhou actually ran out to persuade him to surrender. Adou couldn't help but laugh angrily.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he lured the snake out of the hole, he came up and brought out two big fish, especially Qian Zhou, who was a great Confucian and had a very high reputation.
"Who else thinks I should surrender?" Adou asked with a calm face.
Three more officials stood up and persuaded Adou to surrender, and some people began to praise Cao Pi in their words, and they couldn't wait to flatter Cao Pi.
Adou's face became more and more gloomy, and a murderous aura gradually emanated from Adou's body, so that those who were closer to Adou felt that the temperature around them seemed to have dropped several degrees suddenly, but the officials were still talking about their so-called "providence" and "great truth".
Several families have secretly retreated to the rear.
"Brother, look at Your Majesty's face, it's hard to see that, Qian Zhou's gang is still saying, are they idiots?"
"Brother, Qian Zhou, Du Qiong and others are just some sour Confucians, what do they know, look at it, they are going to be unlucky! In the near future, stay away from those sour people, so as not to implicate us...... But then again, if Your Majesty doesn't have a backhand, we'll have to be clever in a while. β
"I'll kill you!" A loud shout suddenly sounded, which shook the minds of everyone present, and then, I saw Zhang Fei suddenly rush up, buckle Qian Zhou's collar, lift Qian Zhou alive, and throw it at the pillar in the distance.
"Bang!" Qian Zhou's head hit the bead just right, and his brain burst out after being hit, and Qian Zhou twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
But Zhang Fei didn't stop, and then pounced on Du Qiong next to him.
Du Qiong had already been frightened stupid by this sudden change, and when Zhang Fei pounced, Du Qiong couldn't even move his steps to escape.
"Give me death!" Zhang Fei stretched out his big hand to Du Qiong and lifted Du Qiong up.
"Third brother, stop!" Guan Yu's voice came from outside, and Zhang Fei finally sobered up when he heard Guan Yu's voice. Zhang Fei snorted coldly, slammed Du Qiong to the ground, and turned back angrily.
β¦β¦
Zhu Ling didn't have much emotion about Chen Zhou's death, and Zhu Ling didn't like a sour Confucian like Qian Zhou.
Zhu Ling took a few steps forward and shouted loudly: "Liu Chan, I advise you to surrender early to avoid the scourge of swords!" β
"Humph!" Adou snorted coldly, just now Zhang Fei killed Qian Zhou, so that the individual ministers who were originally a little abnormal settled down, at this time, no one dared to touch Zhang Fei, the god-killing mold, even if they wanted to persuade Adou to surrender, under the pressure of Zhang Fei, they didn't dare to speak out.
Adou knew that Zhang Fei was so troubled that the plan to lure the snake out of the hole had to be terminated in advance, but the ministers who were eager to try just now were all remembered by Adou.
It's time to close the net!
Thinking of this, Adou took a slight breath to calm himself down, and Adou's movements happened to be captured by Zhu Ling on the other side.
"It's not right!" At this time, Zhu Ling suddenly appeared, and the generals on the opposite side, whether it was Adou or Guan Zhang, did not panic at all, but seemed calm and relaxed.
"Zhu Ling, I advise you to let go of surrender and stop fighting senselessly!" Although Adou's voice was not loud, it clearly entered Zhu Ling's ears.
"Hahahaha......" Wang Shuang suddenly got up, pointed at Adou in front of him with a knife, and said loudly: "I said Liu Chan, are you scared and confused, now you are fish and meat, we are the swordsmen, and you are the one who is dying!" β
"Zhang Wei, press Xiahou Zijiang up!" Adou said suddenly.
"Yes!" Zhang Wei said, waved his hand, and said, "Come on, bring Xiahou Zijiang up."
Several white-eared elite soldiers immediately flashed out of the crowd behind, and the white-eared elite soldiers also carried a person, and Zhu Ling fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xiahou Zijiang.
With a "", Zhu Ling's face suddenly turned pale. At this time, Zhu Ling had already realized that the hundreds of thousands of victims outside the city might not have entered the city.
"No, maybe it's a coincidence!" At this time, Zhu Ling still had a little luck in his heart, maybe it was just a coincidence that Xiahou Zijiang was caught, and maybe Du Sheng could still succeed.
"Zhu Ling, you don't have to wait, there are no disaster victims outside the West Gate at all, Shamoke is leading more than 5,000 people to block there......" Adou's words hit Zhu Ling again.
Zhu Ling took a deep breath, then slowly twitched his long sword, and said: "Brothers, now we have no way to retreat, there are only a few hundred people in front of us, only by catching Liu Chan, we can have a way to live, if we want to live, we will fight with me!" β
"The general is right! Brothers, go up! Behind Wang Shuang, a young man in his twenties suddenly shouted, and then rushed forward.
"Yes, rush with me and capture Liu Chan!" Wang Shuang said, dragging the big knife and rushing forward.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a roar suddenly reached Wang Shuang's ears, and then, Wang Shuang only felt that his head "boomed", as if he had been hit by something.
Wang Shuang looked back in a daze, and now the young man in his twenties who had just shouted was looking at him, and the blade in his hand had been raised, aiming at Wang Shuang's forehead was a blow.
"Huh......" A black shadow swept by, Wang Shuang didn't have time to resist at all, in the panic, Wang Shuang could only tell that the blade that attacked him was a weapon similar to a whip, but this weapon was quadrangular.
"Such a strange blade!" Wang Shuang's mind flashed with middle age, and then he lost consciousness.
The young man's blade was already stained with Wang Shuang's brain, but the young man did not have the slightest fear, but pointed at Zhu Ling with his blood-stained blade, and said, "Zhu Ling rebel, if you don't surrender, when will you stay?" β
"Who the hell are you?" Zhu Ling asked.
"My name is Fu Yan!" The young man said proudly.
β¦β¦
Chen Zhi gently pushed Fu Tong beside him, and whispered: "Old Fu, if it is really a tiger father without a dog, this time your son really showed his face, he killed Wang Shuang!" β
Fu Tong also showed a relieved smile on his face, but he said: "This little rabbit cub is really useless, you have to use two Janes to kill a Wang Shuang!"
Fu Tong was Liu Bei's Chinese army guard back then, responsible for guarding Liu Bei's Chinese army, and was under the jurisdiction of Chen Zhi. This Fu Tong is a native of Yiyang, and he is also a white-eared elite soldier, who followed Liu Bei very early and was loyal to Liu Bei.
Fu Tong has a family heirloom blade, named Sileng Tiejian, the so-called "Jane" is actually "Gong", but this kind of blade was not popular during the Three Kingdoms, so the Gong at this time was more like an iron whip. And Fu Tong's father and son both use this kind of blade.
β¦β¦
"Damn it......" Zhu Ling's eyes showed a hint of hatred: "How did you get in?" β
"Hehe, it's not easy to get in!" Fu Yan said, pointing behind Zhu Ling, and then said: "Look at your group, all of them are wearing black clothes, when I was at the city gate just now, I just found a black coat to put on my body, and I followed you in." Fu Yan said, tearing the black clothes on his body hard, revealing the inner armor inside.
Today, Fu He was ordered to guard the gate of Weiyang Palace, and Fu He had already received Adou's instructions before, and when he encountered a thief, he pretended to be invincible and put the thief into the palace. And Fu Yan was born a calf and was not afraid of tigers, and after putting Zhu Ling into the palace, he also found a black dress to put on his body, mixed into Zhu Ling's army, and seized this opportunity to sneak attack and kill Wang Shuang.
"Fu Yan, come back! This time you killed Wang Shuang, I will remember your work! Adou beckoned to Fu Dou, and Fu He hurriedly rode on the war horse left by Wang Shuang and ran in the direction of Adou.
Wang Shuang was at the forefront just now, so Fu Yi was not hindered by the enemy when he went back.
Looking at Zhu Ling's decadent expression, Adou then spoke: "Zhu Ling, Wang Shuang is dead, I see that you still don't have to resist!" β
"Hmph, Liu Chan, don't be complacent, you only have this little person by your side, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer!"
"Since you're still obsessed, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Adou said, shouting at Chen Zhi next to him: "Chen Dao, let go of the arrow!" β
Chen Zhi waved his hand, only to see more than 100 white-eared elite soldiers rushing out of the back row, but each of these white-eared elite soldiers was carrying a Zhuge crossbow.
Immediately afterwards, a group of Shu troops also climbed up behind the palace walls on both sides, there were not many people, and there were only more than a hundred people on each side, but they were also carrying Zhuge crossbows.
"Shoot the arrows!" Chen Zhi shouted, and the white-eared elite soldier immediately pressed the tension spring, and the eight-inch-long crossbow arrow cut through the night and went straight to the enemy in front.
"Protect the General!" A soldier immediately blocked Zhu Ling's body, and then he was pierced by a crossbow arrow.
Crossbow arrows came from all directions, and in this open area, there was no place to hide from them. Moreover, the shooting of Zhuge repeaters is faster than ordinary bows and arrows, and the power is also a few points greater, although there are only a few hundred repeaters, but in this special terrain, the people brought by Zhu Ling are only shot in vain.
Only some of the people brought by Zhu Ling were regular soldiers, and the rest were all found by Du Sheng, some were from some families who opposed the Shu army, some were some spies who had been lurking in Chang'an for a long time, and even some ruffians and hooligans. It's okay for these people to fight with the wind, but when they encounter such a blow, they can't organize themselves to resist at all, and they quickly fall into chaos.
Sharp arrows flew from all directions, constantly hitting people's hearts, watching the people around them fall one after another, some people finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore, and began to flee in a panic, and the crowd began to become more and more chaotic.
In this kind of empty terrain, it is condescending, the hit rate of Zhuge Lian's crossbow is still good, when a round of crossbow arrows is fired, the ground is full of corpses, and the sound of wailing keeps coming from all around, and Zhu Ling's side, there are less than five hundred people left, and many people are also full of arrows.
"Zhu Ling, you are also a general, why bother?" Adou sighed, and then said: "I heard that Cao Cao didn't like you back then, I think you might as well surrender to me, how about it?" β
"Surrender you? Hahahaha......" Zhu Ling suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, his laughter was full of a hint of desolation, which made people feel that the general had reached the point of despair, and after a long time, Zhu Ling slowly stopped laughing: "Liu Chan, thank you for your kindness, but I, Zhu Ling, will not descend!" Although the first emperor didn't like me back then, but now my family is in Xudu, if I surrender, none of my family can live, my Zhu Ling is sixty years old, I can't live for a few years, do you think I will surrender to you? β
After Zhu Ling finished speaking, he took a deep breath and said, "Liu Chan, this Chang'an is yours!" I hope you will be kind to the people outside the city......"
Immediately after, Zhu Ling suddenly drew his saber and wiped it towards his neck.
A cloud of blood spurted out of Zhu Ling's throat and landed on the ground, splattering into a bright red flower......
β¦β¦
Guan Yu took a breath lightly and said with a little sadness: "This Zhu Ling is really a righteous man, much better than the guy who surrendered in front of Yu Ban!" I also hope that Your Majesty can be buried thickly. β
"Second uncle, don't worry, I will definitely bury General Zhu Ling." Adou said, glancing at the people who were still standing in the field.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with these people?"
"None of them will be left!" Adou said, and pointed to the ministers who persuaded him to surrender just now: "There are still these people, all of them will be arrested for me." β
"Your Majesty, what are these disloyal and unrighteous people keeping for, just kill them!" Zhang Fei encouraged from the side.
Adou looked at it, many of those who persuaded him to surrender were some great Confucians, these people may not have any skills in military and political affairs, but there are many protΓ©gΓ©s, and they are very prestigious among the scholars. This group of sour Confucians, they can't command the army when they go into battle, they can't participate in decision-making in the court, and they can't govern the place if they put it in the locality, except for studying and studying the scriptures, these people are useless, and keeping them won't cause much harm to Adou, but killing these people will bring trouble to Adou.
Since Emperor Wu deposed the Confucianism of the hundred schools, the status of Confucianism is irreplaceable, killing these sour Confucianism, may be refreshing for a while, but in the future, the leisurely mouth of the world's scholars can not stand it, you must know that the mouth of the people is more than the mouth of the Sichuan.
"Hey......" Adou sighed, looked at the group of sour Confucians below, and said, "Let's take them down first, and then fall later." β
