Chapter 273: Leave No Ones
The big tent was discussed, and when it came to the scattered tent, Liu Yuan didn't mention the matter of Li Dao's remnants in Zheng County. The situation had already been reported by Xu Bu Chiyi, and as far as Liu Yuan was concerned, Zheng County's backhand could be broken, and Li Dao's head level was desirable. It's not worth his effort, but it's worth thinking about how to take Zheng County, settle in Chang'an, and control Sanfu, how to digest this huge victory.
At this time, in Zheng County, Li Dao's remnant army was not very good, especially after the arrival of Liu Yuan's army. In the face of Xia Jun's 100,000 troops, no one felt that there was still a chance to turn defeat into victory.
A rather gorgeous mansion, but it is full of soldiers, this is the mansion of the leading clan in Zheng County, but now, this clan has been removed. There are a lot of soldiers inside, and they are in disarray, and Li Jun has entered the city to loot and kill people in various ways, how can such a mansion not be patronized.
This place is spacious enough, and after the slaughter, Li Dao directly occupied it. On the extravagantly decorated hall, Li Dao was in a very bad state, his face was gloomy, his face was tired, and his eyes were bloodshot. There were some guards around, but all of them drooped their heads, exuding a kind of twilight.
A sound of footsteps sounded, alarming Li Wei, who was sitting dry. When he opened his tired eyes, he saw that the group of people who came to the hall were all Li clan generals, Li Wei, Li Shi, Li Li, Li Jin, and Hu Feng.
"Brother (father, uncle)!"
"How's it going?" Li Dao's voice was full of decadence.
"The Xia army of 100,000 besieged the city and besieged Zheng County, which is not good. The morale of the army has been dispersed, and many soldiers tried to escape in vain, but we led our own soldiers to kill and suppress them! With panic on his face, Li Wei said to Li Wei: "Brother, strong measures can't suppress the sergeant for long." We have to find a way to break the situation, otherwise the Xia army will attack the city, and we won't be able to resist its blow at all! ”
"Ben didn't know!" Li Dao's voice was a little louder, and he roared directly: "There are enemies on all sides, what else can I do!" ”
"Brother, why don't we descend!" Li Wei's eyes flashed, he looked at Li Dao, and said tentatively.
Hearing this, he slammed the table case, and Li Dao shouted angrily: "If you fall, can you save your life?" ”
Li Wei had a premonition that even if he fell, it would be difficult for him to survive. After all, he is not like Li Meng and Wang Fang, just an ordinary warlord, he is a man who has been a "powerful minister", and he coerces the Son of Heaven to hold the "power of the world", Liu Yuan should not let him go. Moreover, even if the Xia army is surrendered and he survives, what future does he have for Li Dao.
Without hesitation, rejecting Li Wei's proposal, Li Wei said fiercely: "If you weren't for you as my brother, I would have killed you!" The order goes down to deal with the Xia army, the general would rather die than surrender, not fight to the last soldier, and vow not to give up! Step aside! ”
Li Dao's is already a little like a madman, very stubborn, and in his vicious tone, he seems to be extremely lacking in confidence.
"No!" Facing Li Wei's cold gaze, Li Wei couldn't help but shudder, and replied.
Several other people are juniors, and when they saw that Li Wei's suggestion was scolded, even if they had a desire to surrender, they didn't dare to show it at this time.
Levi's face was gloomy, and when he thought of the current situation, he panicked in his heart. I've always had an idea in my head, but I'm still a little uncertain about it.
After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and secretly summoned a person.
"General Lee! What's the matter with calling the villain? A little colonel with a rough face but occasionally a little cunning in his eyes came in and asked Li Weidao.
"The Xia army is besieging the city, our army is in danger, but the general still has to resist stubbornly, intending to fight the trapped beasts. I think that if this continues, the city will be ruined, and I can't follow the general to die, so I want to send people out of the city to contact the Xia army, sacrifice the city, and just want to live! Li Wei stared at the man and said in a deep voice: "Hu Chi'er, are you willing to be this messenger for me?" ”
Hearing Li Wei's words, Hu Chi'er's eyes were obviously moved, and he didn't hesitate at all, and directly said: "The villain is willing to go!" ”
"Tell Xia Jun that I will guard the northern city, and when the Xia soldiers are dispatched, I will welcome the army into the city!"
Under the cover of Li Wei's cronies, Hu Chi'er hung the rope and rushed to the summer camp to deliver the message. Hu Chi'er, as a member of Yuezhi Hu, turned to Dong Zhuo and had been under Niu Fu before. Dong Zhuo was killed the previous time, Niu Fu abandoned the army and fled, killed the lord and took his head, dedicated it to Chang'an, and took refuge in Wang Yun. After receiving the reward, before he could get away with it for long, Li Guo came, and decisively instigated a rebellion to welcome Li Guo into Chang'an. In the end, he didn't get much benefit and was attached to Levi.
In this troubled world, it is really not easy for Hu Chi'er to ask for a life and fight for wealth. Receiving Li Wei's order to send a message to the summer camp, naturally he will not be loyal to Li Wei, but completely for the sake of his own life. With a little expectation in my heart, I am also a Hu person, and in the Xia army, I may be able to mix better.
When Hu Chi'er came, Liu Yuan was not much surprised, but raised his interest and met him in person. After listening to his message, looking at Hu Chi'er who was kneeling on the ground, the tiger stared at him and lowered his head: "Since Li Wei knows the current affairs, he is willing to take refuge, so as not to suffer from the lone soldier attacking the city, and Lone will naturally accept it." Go back and tell Levi that as long as you welcome the army into the city, you will be spared death!" ”
When Hu Chi'er bowed and left, Liu Yuan's evil taste came up, and he couldn't help asking, "Hu Chi'er, you and Hu Che'er are brothers?" ”
Hu Chi'er turned her head and looked at Liu Yuan suspiciously: "King Xia, who is Hu Che'er?" The villain doesn't know! ”
"Alright, there you go!"
With the surrender of Li Wei, the Xia army easily broke into the city of Zheng County, and encountered almost no resistance, and the army in the city, as soon as they encountered the Xia army, all disarmed and surrendered.
But Li Dao, as he said, will fight to the last soldier, with more than 100 pro-army dead soldiers, nest in the hall and fight to the death. The Xia army didn't talk much nonsense, and only one lieutenant led hundreds of soldiers to break it. Li Dao, at the last moment, was still afraid of death and wanted to surrender, but was slashed and killed by the commander of the Xia army. For Xia Shu, there is no difference between the dead Li Dao and the living Li Dao, both are credits.
All the surrendered troops were moved to guard outside the city, the Xia army was stationed, and Liu Yuan personally walked to the courtyard of Li Dao's mansion, and there were soldiers who presented Li Dao's head. After just a slight glance, Liu Yuan waved his hand and ordered: "Li Dao has caused chaos in the world, invaded the people, and done a lot of evil, so he sent a cavalry army to spread his head in Sanfu County!" ”
"No!"
Li Shi, Li Li, Li Jin, and Hu Feng were bound and escorted up, and only Li Wei took the initiative to surrender without ropes. Looking at Liu Yuan, Li Wei knelt down directly: "King Xia, before that, we all wanted to surrender, but Li Wei was stubborn and was coerced by him to resist the army. Please also ask King Xia to bypass our lives! ”
Li Li, Li Jin, and Hu Feng also kowtowed, only Li Shi glared at Liu Yuan, he was Li Wei's own son, and he didn't think Liu Yuan would let him go.
Liu Yuan smiled, his eyes narrowed, and he commanded with a smile: "Come on, Li clansmen, don't leave a single one!" ”
As soon as the laughter began, the voice was cold and terrifying.
Li Wei's face changed greatly, the Li clan, which can include him, looked at Liu Yuan with some horror: "King Xia, you promised to spare the last general's life!" ”
Liu Yuan still smiled: "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, do you know the meaning?" ”
"King Xia spares his life!" Levi begged for mercy loudly. As soon as the words fell, Hu Chi'er, who was on the side, stabbed Li Wei's body from behind, and only had time to turn his head, staring at Hu Chi'er fiercely, and then fell to the ground and was silent.
The rest of the Li clan generals, Liu Yuan didn't have the heart to care, and ordered the guards to pull down and behead, struggling, but after all, he couldn't avoid death.
Liu Yuan turned his head and looked at Hu Chi'er playfully: "Hu Chi'er, you killed Niu Fu before, and Li Wei today, do you think Lone should spare your life?" ”
Hearing that Liu Yuan's tone was wrong, Hu Chi'er immediately knelt down and bowed down: "What the villain did, he just wanted to ask for his life and get rich." Ask the king to spare his life, the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse, drive for the king, and dare not have any dissent, the villain is willing to swear by the gods! After speaking, he took the knife and cut off the little finger of his left hand and swore a blood oath.
Seeing his performance, Liu Yuan stared at him for a long time and did not speak. Hu Chi'er was uneasy, life and death were between Liu Yuan's thoughts.
"Okay, let's temporarily join the army as a lieutenant!" Finally heard Liu Yuan's fluttering words, Hu Chi'er's body was paralyzed, and his heart was wet with sweat.
Hu Chi'er, it's just a small role, whether to kill or not to kill, it all depends on the mood. Liu Yuan was in a good mood today, so he spared his life.
