Chapter 338: Yuan Tan surrenders
Handan City, Yuan Shang's temporary residence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Shang was hiding here, waiting all day for the news of the retreat of the thieves.
Suddenly, I heard a report from the soldiers: "Lord Qi, Qin Wu, a personal soldier beside Mr. Xian, asks to see him, holding a document in his hand, it is said that the thief soldiers have retreated, please return to Yecheng......"
"Oh? This, is this true? When Yuan Shang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite Qin Wu, the personal soldier who was judged, in, and then personally asked for details.
Qin Wu handed the document to Yuan Shang and said at the same time: "The thief soldiers have indeed retreated, but ......"
"And yet what?" Yuan Shang saw Qin Wu stumbling, and couldn't help but have a hint of ominous meaning flashing in his heart, and hurriedly asked in a deep voice.
"My family's Langjun is clearly written in the paperwork, so the lord should read it for himself." Qin Wu didn't dare to say more, and directly asked Yuan Shang to read the paperwork.
Yuan Shang knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly flipped through the documents and read them, and he was immediately furious when he saw it: "Good thief, you actually robbed all my treasury, this is simply my life, Liu and thief, I am inseparable from you!" ”
Then Yuan Shangtong led the army back to Yecheng, but before returning to Yecheng, he moved all the treasury in Handan, not only that, but even the people were also unlucky, and Yuan Shang almost scraped the ground, resulting in the people living poorly, the people complained, and many people couldn't stand this kind of oppression and fled one after another.
After Yuan Shang returned to Yecheng, he immediately scolded Liu He, saying that Liu He had treacherously ransacked his treasury and cornered him, and at the same time discussed with the trial to unite Cao Cao and Yuan Tan to deal with Liu He.
But he saw that the judge said: "The lord's words are wrong, the lower officials think that this matter is definitely not Liu He's doing, his army is now in the plain, ready to take the plain in one go, there is no need to suddenly return to Yecheng at this time, and loot our treasury, if he is just greedy for this kind of goods, it is estimated that Yecheng has been looted a long time ago, and he can't wait for today." And on the other hand, Xia Guan thinks that at this time, we should not consider cooperating with Cao Cao, because this matter is actually done by Cao Cao, please think about it, now Cao Cao is in Liyang, much closer than Liu Heke, he led the army to pretend to be Liu He, ransack my Yecheng treasury, and then blame Liu He, isn't it reasonable? And who is Cao Cao? The lord should know better than the lower officials, if it wasn't for him in the first place, would it be necessary for us to repair the relationship with Liu He? If it weren't for him, would the Old Lord Guild just die? He is not only the father-killing enemy of the lord, but also conspires to sack our Yecheng, cooperating with him is tantamount to conspiring with the tiger to hide ah, it is estimated that the lord will not even have bones left at that time, and Liu He is relatively benevolent, as long as the lord chooses to surrender, he can still save a life, and I think life will definitely make you worry-free, so, compared to cooperating with Cao Cao, the lord might as well surrender Liu He ......"
"Shut up! Judging Zhengnan, I always thought that you were an upright and loyal person, but I didn't expect you to be a shameless villain who ate inside and out, and actually took advantage of the weakness of our army to persuade me to surrender, I finally know your true face, hehe, what kind of benefits did Liu He Xiao'er give you? Why did you try so hard to persuade me to surrender? ”
"This ...... What are you talking about, this ....... lord? Xia Guan was wronged, Xia Guan did not accept anyone's benefits, and he did not advocate surrendering Liu He, but just talked about the matter...... "I didn't expect that I would work so hard to plan a way out for Yuan Shang, but I was so misunderstood by him, and my heart was suddenly cold, but I still opened my mouth to defend myself.
However, Yuan Shang didn't listen to the explanation of the judge at all, but sneered loudly and said: "What is on the matter, are you really stupid for me?" Don't you know that when Liu He came to mourn his father, you begged him to perform immortal magic on your wife behind my back? It must be because you are grateful to him for doing things for you, so you joined Liu He to trap me together, first cooperated with Liu He to ransack my Yecheng treasury, and then took advantage of the situation to persuade me to surrender, this drama you performed together is really wonderful. Come, drag this unfaithful and unrighteous thing out of the gate for me, and behead it for public use. ”
After the generals begged bitterly, Yuan Shang finally agreed to spare the trial and matching, but the death penalty could be avoided, and the living crime was unforgivable, so he took off all official positions and let the trial go home to retire.
When the judge heard this, his heart was cold, and then he packed up and silently returned to his hometown of Yin'an County, Wei County.
And before leaving, the judge heard that Yuan Shang was discussing the matter of cooperating with Cao Cao, and immediately said angrily: "Obviously Cao Cao ransacked his treasury, but he still has to take the initiative to cooperate with Cao Cao, and he doesn't inquire about who Cao Cao is?" It's just opening the door and stealing the wolf into the room, I really haven't seen such a stupid person, alas, Yuan's qi is exhausted, and I can't wait to return to the sky. ”
And almost at the same time, Liu He's army is launching a strong and fierce offensive on the plains, under the influence of the characteristics of Koji Yi's "breaking the city", the combat power of the whole army has been bonus, which makes Yuan Tan even more panicked, and in the end, seeing Liu He's army attack the city, Yuan Tan ordered the whole army to stop resisting immediately, and opened the city gate, holding a white flag, with a seal ribbon around his neck, naked body, carrying a thorn on his back to surrender to Liu He.
Liu He dismounted, came to Yuan Tan, and reprimanded with a straight face: "You and Yuan Shang are brothers, the so-called brothers, they should have been outside the wall to resist their insults, you are good, the first brother has just passed away, the bones are not cold, you actually started an internal fight, are you worthy of the original brother?" Of course, because the first brother was confused when he was dying, he even ignored the patriarchal system and set up Yuan Shang as the heir, but after all, this is the last order of the first brother, no matter what, you should obey it, even if you really don't want to obey in your heart, but you have to wait for you to work together to drive away Cao Cao, but you are good, you even ignore the hatred of the family and the country, and secretly unite with Cao Cao, this is really hateful, so I will break through your city on behalf of the first brother and punish you, the son of unfilial piety. But after all, you are the eldest son of my first brother, and he is indeed a little unfair to you, so I will try my best to keep your life safe and sound, so let's go to Chang'an with me in the future, and when the time comes, I will go to the court and give you an idle official position, and live your own rich life, wouldn't it be good? ”
"Everything is only the order of the general", although Yuan Tan knew that Liu He was full of nonsense, but now that his life was hanging in the hands of others, he had to bow his head and admit his mistake in order to save his life.
"Although your subordinates are full of talents, they don't know how to use people, resulting in talented people not being reused, and untalented traitors and villains turn the clouds and rain instead, covering the sky with one hand, how can they be undefeated?"
Liu He glanced at the civil and military forces beside Yuan Tan, and then said: "For example, the strategists Xin Ping and the Xin Bi brothers, and your other driver Wang Xiu, are all upright people, when you insisted on uniting with Cao Cao, Wang Xiu had been persuaded hard, right?" But you don't listen, this is me coming, if I don't come, Cao Cao will definitely annex your territory, and even your life will not be left behind. For example, how many bad ideas did Guo Tu have? During the battle of Guandu, if he hadn't advocated what siege Wei and saved Zhao, how could you fail? But you don't accept the lesson, but continue to reuse this person, it can be said that you have no eyesight, come to someone, pull out Guo Tu, a traitorous villain, and behead him! ”
