Chapter 574: The Fall of Xiangyang

p

After the Spring Festival, the change in Xiangyang attracted the attention of countless people.

Excited, excited, dismissive, and so on.

And Yu Qian really didn't disappoint Hexi, and turned Jingxiang and Jiangdong upside down.

In addition to Huan Xuan's thunderous jump, Hexi is also paying attention to the final direction of the situation.

A few days later, Yu Bin went and returned, bringing Wei Shuo's latest decision to Han Haoqiang.

As expected, Han Haoqiang was lucky and simply rejected Hexi's conditions.

"Your Highness, Liu Shumi asks to see you."

"Ask him to come in."

After a while, Liu Muzhi hurriedly came to the side hall, bowed down and saluted: "See Your Highness." ”

"No need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

Liu Muzhi sat down at the bottom of his head, and Wei Shuo smiled: "Is Yu Bin back?" ”

"Your Royal Highness is wise, the minister just received Yu Bin, and he personally told the minister that Han Haoqiang decided to defend Xiangyang."

Wei Shuo sneered and said, "I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin!" Even if he was lucky enough to defeat Feng Cai, what could he do? ”

"If you want to fight Huan Xuan in a corner of the world, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream."

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"Don't worry, Han Haoqiang will come to Hexi sooner or later."

"And the later it comes and the more critical the situation is, the more conducive it is for Hexi to force it to comply."

Putting aside the matter of Han Haoqiang for the time being, Wei Shuo pondered for a moment and asked, "How is the Liaodong evacuation plan progressing?" ”

Liu Muzhi immediately briefly introduced the matter of the sailor's ship transporting the fugitives from Liaodong to Wei Shuo.

"At the beginning of January, the minister received news that the fleet stopped at Yuzhou Island to rest on the way south."

"Except for Gao Hu, Fu Mo and others who got off the boat and diverted to Chang'an, most of the rest will continue to take the boat south to Yizhou."

"Well, that's good! With the addition of 20,000 displaced people from Liaodong, the development of Yizhou Island will be greatly accelerated. ”

"If he has time in the future, he will definitely go to Yizhou!"

……

In late January, 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers came to the city of Xiangyang.

Surrounded by more than a dozen generals, the general Feng Gai came to the front of the battle, staring fiercely at Yu Qian and the others at the head of the city.

At the beginning, Yu Qian succeeded in the sneak attack on Xiangyang, which was considered a great shame by Feng Gai.

This time, he swore a poisonous oath that he must defeat Xiangyang and kill Yu Qian with his own hands, so as to be ashamed of himself.

At that moment, Feng should not talk nonsense, and directly ordered the army to attack the city.

He personally beat the war drums, and the sound of the drums inspired the soldiers to rush to kill bravely, and the shouts of killing resounded in the sky.

The defenders of the city continued to shoot arrows and stones downwards in an attempt to stop the Jingzhou army's offensive.

However, under the encouragement of the main general, the Jingzhou army held back their strength, set up ladders, and operated shields, and jumped to the top of the city one after another.

I have to say that Yu Qian and others still overestimated their own strength.

Most of the defenders were improvised and organized, young and strong, and although they were outnumbered, they lacked training and did not have high combat effectiveness.

After only a while, the defenders were somewhat unable to stop the Jingzhou army's offensive.

More and more Jingzhou soldiers jumped onto the city, scattered the defenders, and squeaked open the gates of Xiangyang.

Feng Cai threw the mallet in his hand, picked up the big knife, tore open his throat, and shouted: "Kill!" He took the lead and rushed forward.

When the rest of the Jingzhou army saw that the main general was so brave, their morale was immediately boosted, and they slashed and killed one by one like fierce tigers.

And the defenders were originally overcrowded, but now that the city gate is lost, where is there still the fighting spirit? Directly scattered.

At this time, there was a shout of killing in Xiangyang City, and 20,000 Jingzhou troops entered the city.

The morale of the defenders in the city was low and they surrendered on their knees.

The Jingzhou army began to search for rebels throughout the city, and Feng Keke issued a strict order to catch Yu Qian and other rebels.

This order brought great disaster to the people of Xiangyang, and every household was broken in.

Under the pretext of arresting the rebels, the Jingzhou soldiers began to loot on a large scale, and the city was full of fires and shouts.

After Feng Gai entered the city, he led his army straight to the Assassin's Mansion, and at this time, the battles everywhere were basically over.

"Did you catch Yu Qian?" Feng Cai shouted angrily.

A partial general stepped forward and said: "General Qiyu, Yu Qian, Wei Hua, Deng Xiangzi and others have all disappeared. ”

Feng Cai frowned, and snorted coldly: "Fuck, run fast enough!" ”

At this time, more than 100 soldiers and soldiers came with a group of men, women, and children, about seventy or eighty people, all of whom were trembling with fright.

Feng should glance at it and ask, "Who are they?" ”

"General, they are all local heroes who didn't have time to escape."

Originally, Feng Gaizheng was annoyed that he didn't catch Yu Qian, but now he couldn't help but be extremely angry when he saw Yu Qian's 'same party'.

Then he raised his horsewhip, pointed at everyone and shouted: "Pull them all down and cut them down!" ”

When they heard that they were going to be beheaded, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

It's a pity that Feng should look at everyone and let the soldiers drag them down.

Feng Gaiyu was still angry, gritted his teeth and said: "I have to set foot in Nanyang!" ”

Next, he reported to Shi Huan Shi Kang, the assassin of Jingzhou, and asked to send someone to take over Xiangyang.

On the other side, he personally led the people of his headquarters to Nanyang in the north, preparing to wipe out Yu Qian and others.

……

When the news of Feng Gai's order to slaughter the heroes of the Han family came, it suddenly made all the children of the surviving family feel cold.

Han Haoqiang, who was hiding in Wancheng, packed his bags one after another, preparing to help the old and young flee to Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

The change in the Haoqiang family caused panic inside and outside Wancheng, and ordinary people also joined the flow of refugees.

The road from Wancheng to Guanzhong was crowded with dense crowds, stretching for miles, and all kinds of cries, shouts, and curses were intertwined.

In the Taishou Mansion, Wei Hua, Yu Qian, Deng Xiangzi, Yang Daohu and others no longer have their former looks, and they are all like mourners.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded at the gate of the mansion, and I saw a scout turn over and dismount, and run quickly towards everyone.

"Report! Feng Gaizheng, the general of Jingzhou, led his headquarters to kill Wancheng. ”

"It's over, it's over, it's all over!"

"Repent! knew that today, he should not have rejected King Yong in the first place. ”

"Well, now the Jingzhou army will be killed immediately, and we have no power to fight back."

"It's all to blame for Yu Taishou, why don't you accept Hexi's conditions?"

"If I had promised King Yong, how could I be here today?"

In the face of everyone's unanimous accusations, Yu Qian and Wei Hua couldn't say anything.

In the end, Wei Hua looked at Yu Qian and asked, "Yu Taishou, what should we do now?" ”

At this moment, Yu Qian was also sweating profusely in a hurry, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to talk more, so the old man will send someone to ask King Yong for help."

"No matter what the blame of King Yong, the old man will bear it, and he must invite the Hexi Army to save everyone's lives."

Seeing that Yu Qian had a big package, it was not good for everyone to continue to accuse him.

In fact, if you really talk about it, you can't blame Yu Qian for this.

When Yu Qian said that he wanted to rely on Xiangyang to be punctual, most of them agreed.

Now that he has failed, it is unfair to put the blame on Yu Qian alone.

In the final analysis, it is still Han Haoqiang who is unwilling to lose his privileges, and no one wants to go to Hexi to be a rich man unless he has to.

……

In Wuguan, Yu Bin looked a little restless.

Originally, he was going to Chang'an to meet King Yong, but he was intercepted by the defenders just after passing Wuguan.

It turned out that King Yong was inspecting Guanzhong Pass everywhere recently, and it happened that he was also in Wuguan.

On the way to King Yong's temporary tent by the guards, Yu Bin was very nervous and scared.

He was afraid that King Yong would hold the Han family responsible, and was unwilling to send troops to rescue Nanyang.

Just when he was not thinking, he saw the door curtain move, and the tall figure of King Yong immediately came into view.

Yu Bin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "See His Royal Highness King Yong." ”

"Why did Yu join the army come back again?" Wei Shuo said with a smile.

Seeing Wei Shuo's smile, Yu Bin felt a little relieved, and hurriedly said: "I have come to ask His Highness for my guilt." ”

"Please?"

Wei Shuo looked at Yu Bin with some playfulness, and asked pretending not to know, "I don't know what your crime is?" ”

When he heard this, Yu Bin was so frightened that he was at a loss and didn't know how to reply.

Wei Shuo didn't seem to see Yu Bin's embarrassment, and stretched out his hand in a good voice and said, "Please sit down and talk." ”

Waiting for Yu Bin to sit down, Wei Shuo let the guards serve tea again, and then said: "Listen to the Tao and preach, the Yu family is a powerful family in the Han Dynasty, and your uncle Yu Gong has a very high prestige. ”

"Last time, the condition that Gu put forward was because of Yu Gong's opposition, so it was not settled, is that so?"

Yu Qian's face was ugly, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "Yes!" Yes, yes...... But I waited until I had a hard time to make this decision. ”

Wei Shuo waved his hand, stopped Yu Qian's words that he wanted to justify, and said directly: "I don't care about what you are worried about. ”

"I only know that when you get to Hexi, you have to abide by the rules of Lonely, otherwise you will be left to fend for yourself, and it has nothing to do with Hexi."

"So Gu wants to confirm again, does it mean that you are ready to accept Hexi's conditions in their entirety when you come here this time?
