Chapter Seventy-Three: Letter from Chang'an
Qianwei, Wuyang
When Ye Zhao's pardon order was sent to Ji Ling's army, the entire Qianwei Nine Counties, only one Wuyang was still holding on, and the rest of the counties, even if the Shi clan resisted, but under the absolute soldiers, they could only be crushed in the end.
"General Ji, this is a military order sent by the lord." Zhang Liao handed over the military order in his hand to Ji Ling and bowed.
"Changing generals?" Ji Ling frowned, looked at Zhang Liaodao, and was a little dissatisfied, isn't this equivalent to letting Zhang Liao pick the fruit?
"The general slaughtered too many soldiers this time, and now that the overall situation in Shuzhong has been decided, the lord needs to appease the hearts of the remaining scholars, and he is to send the last general to appease." Zhang Liao saw that Ji Ling's expression was unhappy, and explained in a low voice: "The general will go to Hanzhong to take over the position of General Zilong, after the rumors here, how can the lord forget the general's exploits?" ”
Although Ji Ling was a little dissatisfied, he could only nod and agree, Ye Zhao wanted to suppress the scholars, but he had to use the talents of Shuzhong, now the vitality of the Shu sergeants had been almost killed by Ji Ling, and then it was natural to appease the injured hearts of the remaining scholars, it was impossible to idle Ji Ling, after all, there were only a few Ye Zhao's subordinates who could lead an army alone, and transferring Ji Ling to Hanzhong to guard it had been decided before Ji Ling set out on the expedition, and Ji Ling actually knew this in his heart.
"Then I'll leave it to Wen Yuan, and I'll leave to bid farewell to my lord immediately." Ji Ling sighed, this kind of work is really not easy to do, I only hope that I will take less of this kind of work in the future.
After sending Ji Ling away, Zhang Liao came to the city again with the generals, and now Wuyang has only one breath left, the family in the city, the soldiers who can be taken out, almost all of them are invested in this war, Rao is so, these days, there are also dead and wounded, the garrison in the city is less than two thousand, and the soldiers are panicked all day long, for fear that after the city is broken, they will be bloodbathed by Ye Zhaojun like other scholars, which has supported it until now, otherwise, I am afraid that it would have fallen long ago.
"The hussar general sat down to rebel against Captain Zhang Liao, and was ordered to come to persuade him to surrender." Just when the people in the city were panicking, someone found that the handsome flag representing Ji Ling had been replaced, and then Zhang Liao came to the city with several guards riding horses, looked at the Wuyang warriors on the city wall, and said loudly.
"Zhang Liao!?" Zhao Wei and Ren Qi saw Zhang Liao, it can be said that the enemy was very red when they met, if it weren't for Zhang Liao's life to chase and kill that day, even if they couldn't take Cheng/Du, they wouldn't end up in such a field today, at that moment, Ren Qi would order to shoot Zhang Liao with arrows.
"Slow!" A scholar stretched out his hand to stop Ren Qi, frowned, and said: "We have reached this situation now, if we don't surrender, there is only one way to die, and if I am too guarded, I am equal to death?" ”
"Brother Zhu doesn't know, this thief is the culprit who destroyed our army that day, besides, we took the initiative to surrender but didn't accept it before, and now we are here to surrender, how can it be convincing?" Ren Qi said angrily.
This person is the head of the Zhu family, and when he heard this, he frowned and said, "Then listen to what the other party has to say first?" ”
Ignoring Zhao Wei and Ren Qi at the moment, he went straight to the women's wall, and said loudly: "In Xia Wuyang Zhu Yu, I have seen General Zhang!" ”
"Mr. Zhu is polite." Zhang Liao sat on horseback and bowed slightly.
"Yu has a question, I wonder if the general can answer it?" Zhu Yu looked at Zhang Liao and asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Zhu, please speak." Zhang Liao nodded.
"Previously, we took the initiative to surrender, but General Ji refused, and even suppressed me bloodily for the Shi clan, I don't know why I changed my mind now?" Zhu Yu said in a deep voice.
"This matter, not my lord's intention, my lord originally thought that Qianwei Taishou had surrendered, so he ordered General Ji to come to take over Qianwei, who knew that Zhao Wei and Ren Qi were treacherous, and instigated you to attack Cheng/Du, resulting in heavy casualties among our soldiers, General Ji was angry, before making such an impulsive move, my lord was in Luo County to appease the people, and after hearing the news, he was also shocked, and hurriedly sent the last general to replace General Ji Ling, this battle is only the first evil, as long as you sacrifice the treacherous person, my lord can be lightly punished." Zhang Liaolang said.
"Oh?" When Zhu Yu heard this, he turned his head to look at Zhao Wei and Ren Qi on the side, not only him, but also the eyes of several Wuyang families gathered here looked at the two of them one by one, and their faces were not good.
"Everyone, don't listen to his nonsense!" Zhao Wei and Ren Qi's faces changed, and they subconsciously took a few steps back, and hissed: "This is Ye Zhao's plan to divide the world, don't listen to it!" ”
"Humph!" Zhu Yu snorted coldly and said: "Two, right and wrong, there is no objection to talking about it now, but I just want peace, for the future of my Sergeant Shu, please decide it yourself!" ”
"You ......" Ren Qi said angrily: "Even if I wait for death, do you think that Ye Zhao will let you wait!?" ”
"He doesn't need to lie to me, now there are less than two thousand defenders in the city, and Wuyang is not a strong city." Zhu Yu said indifferently: "As long as Ye Hou is willing, Wuyang can be broken overnight, why bother doing this?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense with him, do it!" A soldier snorted coldly and pounced on everyone with him.
Seeing this, Ren Qi was furious, drew his sword in his hand and said: "Wait for these ungrateful people, forget who was in the hands of Liu Yan in the past?" ”
Zhao Wei sighed, glanced at the black and oppressive army under the city, closed his eyes in pain, fought here from Baishui Pass, and calculated in every way, but he didn't expect that it would be such a result in the end, even if Ye Zhao let go, with the attitude of the current Shu sergeant, no one dares to be an enemy of Ye Zhao anymore, and his position as the lord of Shu can no longer be shaken.
It's a pity that he was bent on planning for the Shu people, and he didn't hesitate to betray the old master, but in the end it was like this!
"Puff~"
Just when Zhao Wei sighed, then Ren Qi had been stabbed through the body with a weapon, his eyes were wide, looking at these people deadly, blood continued to seep out from between his teeth, at the last moment of his life, Ren Qi was stunned and did not scream, perhaps, for him, this is the best ending.
Seeing that everyone was forcing him, Zhao Wei sighed, drew his sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Don't work for you to do it, Yun will take the first step, I hope that I, Sergeant Shu, will have the opportunity to regain control of Shuzhong!" ”
After speaking, he wiped the sword to his neck, his eyes widened, and then he fell to the ground and died of anger.
Zhu Yu and the others looked at the corpses of the two, and were silent for a while, and after a long time, Zhu Yu waved his hand and said: "Kaecheng surrenders, please General Zhang enter the city!" ”
……
Chengdu/Du, after agreeing to Jia Long's request, Ye Zhao got up and went to Chengdu/Du, now the three counties have basically been pacified, the next thing is to appease the people and seek development, in the next few years, Ye Zhao will connect Shuzhong and Hanzhong into one, and become his most stable rear.
"I don't want you and I to work together in Youzhou in the past, although we haven't met, but the name of the hussar was already a famous earthquake back then, this should be the first time you and I have met, but this is the case." In the state pastor's mansion, Liu Yan seems to be many times older, and at this moment, he looks like a kind old man, how could he have thought that before January, he was a prince who held a state land?
In this era of melee warfare, before the world presented a situation of division of princes, such as Liu Yan was able to hold a state in his hands, and he was already a top prince.
"Uncle Huang forgives his sins." Ye Zhao poured a cup of tea for Liu Yan with a smile and said: "Mr. Zhao thinks that you and I should be the same kind of talents, Zhao can have a lot of luck today, and the loss of Yizhou is not necessarily a bad thing for the old emperor." ”
"Then I don't know what Ye Hou wants to do with me?" Liu Yan didn't answer, just looked at Ye Zhao with an indifference that saw through life and death.
"Before Zhao came here, Mrs. and Teacher interceded for the old imperial uncle, the old imperial uncle is Zongzheng, Zhao does not dare to be embarrassed, if the old imperial uncle is willing, he can choose a place in Hanzhong to live for a long time, Zhao can promise, as long as Zhao is in one day, he can protect the old imperial uncle for three generations of wealth, and the blood is endless."
"In this way, from the very beginning, Wan Nian and Bo Ji didn't think that the old man would win!" Liu Yan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "However, Ye Hou's ability to use soldiers, the old man is indeed inferior, but Hanzhong will not go." ”
"That ......" Ye Zhao frowned, if Liu Yan stayed in Chengdu/Du, it would always be an unstable factor for Ye Zhao,
"The old man wants to go to Chang'an." Liu Yan said with a smile: "Since you can't do Guangwu, you will be a member of the Han clan to protect Your Majesty, and the old man still has two sons who are still in Chang'an, and this time I will go to reunite father and son." ”
When Ye Zhao heard this, he nodded: "But it is also human nature, later, I will send someone to escort the old emperor's family to Hanzhong, and it will be faster to go out of Yangping Pass." ”
"Then there is Lao Yehou." Liu Yan didn't refuse, Shu Land had been lost, he continued to stay here, even if he had other thoughts, it would be very difficult to do anything under Ye Zhao's nose, it was better to go to Chang'an, maybe he could help Liu Xie.
"Lord, Chang'an urgent!" Just as Ye Zhao was about to get up to send him off, Dian Wei came in from outside the door, handed Ye Zhao an urgent report, and said to Ye Zhao.
"Chang'an?" Ye Zhao took the letterhead and spread it out to read.
"What happened?" Liu Yan frowned and asked.
"Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu turned against each other because of a woman, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu two months ago, and the prince served as Situ." Ye Zhao handed the letterhead to Liu Yan and said, "But this is the battle report from two months ago, and I don't know what the situation in Chang'an is now." ”
What surprised him was that there was no Diao Chan, but Wang Yun still used the beauty trick, but the protagonist of this story had something to do with Ye Zhao, and it was Luo Yan, one of the four beauties of the Drunken Immortal Building cultivated by Ye Zhao at the beginning.
When Luoyang was in turmoil, the other three people of Chang'an Simei died in the war, only Luoyan was robbed by Wang Yun, who thought it would be sent to Yuan Shao, who thought that it would stay in the end, Dong Zhuo was taken to Chang'an by Wang Yun when he moved west, and it also became a weapon for Wang Yun to instigate the relationship between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.
Turning his head to look at Liu Yan, Ye Zhao said: "Whether Uncle Huang stayed in Hanzhong for a few days first, and what the situation is in Chang'an now, no one can say." ”
"Not necessarily!" Liu Yan got up and said with a smile: "At this time, it is the time for my generation to be loyal, how can I delay, the old man got up here." ”
"Ye Zhaogong sends Uncle Huang!" Ye Zhao also got up and said.
