Chapter 345: Interrogating Yuan Xi
A group of cavalry of the New Han Army directly rushed into the official office where Yuan Xi was, and in front of Yuan Xi's eyes, the soldiers of the Yuan Army who still wanted to resist were ruthlessly killed by the cavalry of the New Han Army.
The snow-bright horse chopping knife can often cut some Yuan soldiers in one or two.
The screams and screams of the servants in the official office directly scared Yuan Xi stupidly, his legs were weak, and he was directly stunned in the hall.
It didn't take long for the official office to be cleared by the cavalry of the New Han Army. All the Yuan soldiers who dared to resist stubbornly were killed directly.
However, the New Han Army is not a murderous army, it seems to be murderous, killing people without blinking, but it is only aimed at those Yuan soldiers who will not surrender. If those Yuan soldiers threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees, the New Han Army would not kill people indiscriminately. For those maids and maids in this official office, the New Han Army basically did not kill them. Of course, a few foolish and loyal maids actually wanted to fight hard with the New Han Army, so they would be destroyed by the soldiers of the New Han Army and directly killed.
In the end, under the identification of those Yuan soldiers who surrendered and some maids in the official office, they learned that the person who fell in the official hall and was pretending to be dead was Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi.
Su Cheng obeyed Zhao Yun's order and directly led an army to kill the official office, although he shouted all the way to capture Yuan Xi alive, but he knew that it was not easy to capture the enemy's main general. Because they generally see the wrong opportunity, they don't run away early. Especially now that it is still late at night, as soon as he escapes from the official office, in this chaotic city, who can find which one is Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi? If Yuan Xi put on the ordinary clothes and armor of the Yuan soldiers and escaped among the Yuan soldiers, as long as he escaped outside the city. The New Han Army also had no way to pursue it.
Hence the heart of Sioux City. knew that it was not easy to capture Yuan Xi alive. If the next day, it's time to clean up the battlefield. Being able to find Yuan Xi's body from those killed Yuan soldiers is a great achievement, and it doesn't have to be captured alive.
However, he didn't expect that Yuan Xi was actually caught by himself. For a while, Sioux City couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The 20,000 cavalry of the New Han Army, at first, was a battalion as a unit, charging and killing the Yuan army in the city, and slowly dispersed the Yuan soldiers. Then divide into a team of Yuan soldiers in the quiet city. After most of the Yuan soldiers fled from the city, they divided a certain amount of troops and occupied the city wall.
However, to completely purge the Yuan soldiers in the city, it is estimated that it will not be until after dawn. When it comes to dawn, you have to show the security notice and so on.
The official office was seized, and Su Cheng also knew that the Yuan army was gone, so he himself was not in a hurry to participate in the purge of the Yuan soldiers in the city. He sent some soldiers to assist other soldiers of the New Han Army in taking control of the city, and he left hundreds of people to guard the official office. I stayed and planned to try Yuan Xi for the first time.
In fact, there is nothing to judge. It's just that Su Cheng has been in the army for so many years, starting from an unknown soldier, and now a general who can command an army. But he really hasn't captured someone with such a high status like Yuan Xi. He really wanted to see what kind of goods the children of the Yuan family, who were usually high, were after becoming captives.
I have to say. The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, famous in the sea. Up to the princes and ministers of the imperial court. Down to the common people, there is really no one who has never heard of the Yuan family.
Like Sioux City. Originally, he was just an ordinary ordinary person, the people of the Yuan family, for him, he was usually some unattainable people who would never have anything to do with him, so to speak, he might not be afraid that he would never see a person from the Yuan family in his life, and he would never be able to have anything to do with the people of the Yuan family.
The people of the Yuan family, in the hearts of ordinary people, are all high, and people dare not look at them.
Now, Su Cheng really wants to see what kind of character the children of the Yuan family are.
Of course, Yuan Xi's image of and urine has plummeted in Su Cheng's mind, and it no longer makes him feel that the people of the Yuan family have anything noble.
Su Cheng sits high in the chief of the official office, high up.
At this moment, he really felt a little satisfied, and never thought that he would be able to sit in a high position one day and interrogate people who are usually high. This feeling is very refreshing.
Yuan Xi, this guy, was so frightened that he was in a deep coma, and the Xinhan Army was in the official office, tossing for so long, and this guy hadn't woken up yet.
Su Cheng didn't call someone to tie up Yuan Xi, but asked someone to bring a plate of cold water and splash it directly on Yuan Xi's head.
With a bang, Yuan Xi was splashed with cold water and woke up directly.
This guy, who had been in a coma after being frightened, was suddenly woken up by cold water, and he didn't realize his situation for a while.
Even, he may have forgotten for a moment that he was killed by the cavalry of the New Han Army, the fierce appearance of the New Han Army when he saw the murder, and the fact that he was stunned when he saw those bloody scenes.
As soon as he woke up, he hit a spirit, and then jumped up directly, looking at the action, it seemed to have been practiced, but it was very neat.
As soon as he jumped up, he didn't see the situation in front of him clearly at all, so he scolded, "Straight thief! Who, who dares to pour cold water on this son? Damn, I'll kill you later! ā
He scolded while shaking his clothes, as if he wanted to shake off the water stains on his body.
"Huh?" He trembled, as if he felt that his lower body was not very comfortable, wet, and seemed to feel a little mushy, and he also stretched out his mouth and sniffed, a little confused: "It's weird, why is it so stinky?" Bastard! It can't be a feces splash on me, right? Who! See if I don't kill you! ā
With a poof, Su Cheng, who was sitting on the official case, didn't know it when he saw Su Cheng making such a fool, and couldn't help laughing.
Su Cheng's laughter attracted Yuan Xi's eyes that were still a little confused, and when he saw that there was actually a person sitting in his seat, and this person dared to laugh at him, he couldn't help but get angry all of a sudden. Almost jumped and scolded: "You mix it up for me, is that seat where you sit?" That's the seat of my son Yuan Xi! ā
"Bold!"
Some of the soldiers of the New Han Army who were standing on the side, seeing that this Yuan Xi actually dared to scold their general, couldn't help but laugh for a while, and shouted in unison with a tiger face.
The sergeant's loud shout startled Yuan Xi, and he found out. There were many soldiers in this official hall. Moreover, these soldiers. But none of them were the people he was familiar with, and even the armor of these soldiers was not the armor of his own guards that he was familiar with.
He shivered mercilessly, and everything that had happened before he was stunned suddenly became clear.
As soon as he remembered it, he was so frightened that his whole body jumped, and the whole person trembled again, and he stammered a little: "Xin, Xinhan Army...... You, you are the ...... of the New Han Army"
With a bang, Su Cheng slapped the official case and made a loud noise. He said in a deep voice: "You are Yuan Xi?" Yuan Shao's second son? ā
"Yes, yes...... Ah, isn't it ......" Yuan Xi responded a little timidly, but he seemed to be very alert all of a sudden, hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, and denied it again and again.
This guy has no other strengths, but he doesn't know how he learned his kung fu, but he is also a little alert. Look. He is not too stupid, he should have thought of it at this moment, if he admitted his identity, I am afraid that his fate will be miserable. So, I actually want to fool the past.
However, this is also a bit too bad. He just said that he said that it was Yuan Xi, and then he changed his words. dare to deny it, it's really speechless.
Sioux City didn't break it all at once. He looked at him a little sarcastically and said, "Oh? You say you're not Yuan Xi? So who do you say you are? ā
"I, I ......" Yuan Xi's handsome face, which was originally a little handsome, looked a little panicked at the moment, and he was so scared that he was terribly afraid, but he didn't want to die, so he couldn't help but turn his eyes and bones, and made up: "My real surname is Liu, a relative of the Han family, my name is Gang, and I have a common enmity with the Yuan family, I have mixed into the Yuan family, won Yuan Xi's trust, and prepared to assassinate him." By the way, you're the New Han Army, right? Great, we're our own people. ā
The soldiers of the New Han Army, who were listening, were almost not overwhelmed by Yuan Xi's words. Who are these people? I can tell nonsense with my eyes open. Well, if Liu Yi is there, I'm afraid he will be overwhelmed by this guy's fabrication.
"You are Yuan Xi, if you talk nonsense, be careful that I will kill you now!" Su Cheng couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that Yuan Xi didn't even dare to recognize his ancestor, and simply changed his surname with his ancestor.
"Definitely not ......"
"Huh? Do you dare to say that it's not Yuan Xi again? In the official office, there are countless subordinate maids, as well as your subordinate soldiers, do you want to bring them up for identification? Su Cheng didn't want to entangle his identity with Yuan Xi, so he just waved his hand and asked people to come forward to identify him.
Yuan Xi was taken aback, he just thought that all the people in his official office had been killed by the New Han Army, and there was no proof of his death, and if he didn't admit that he was Yuan Xi, he might still be able to live, but now it is impossible to hide his identity anymore.
However, when he heard that there were still people in the official office who would survive, he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, at least, it could prove that these New Han soldiers were not all murderous people, and maybe they might spare his life.
"General......" Yuan Xi seemed to be a little anxious, knelt down all of a sudden, and said profusely: "I, I am Yuan Xi, there is no need to call someone to identify me...... However, although I, my Yuan Xi is the son of Yuan Shao, but, our father and son are not in harmony, I, I have read the sage book since I was a child, and I know the truth of the heaven and earth monarch and teacher, and I have always come, I have to, the Yuan family has always been a minister of the Han family, and now, the New Han Dynasty is the orthodox court of the Han Dynasty, I think that the Yuan family should not be against the New Han Dynasty, but should be submitted to the New Han Dynasty as soon as possible. This, this is really my Yuan Xi's heart, I, I actually, I yearn for the New Han Dynasty very much, and I have always wanted to serve the New Han Dynasty......"
Su Cheng and a group of soldiers of the New Han Army were stunned again, yes, I really didn't expect that Yuan Xi had no backbone to this point, so greedy for life and afraid of death that he didn't even want to recognize his father.
If Liu Yi was also here, he would also sigh greatly, lamenting that the Yuan family was really in decline. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's generation, they still have the unique style of the big lord of the family, and they have their proud side. At least, they would rather die than lose the pride in their hearts, but when it comes to Yuan Shao's son's generation, they don't even have this pride anymore, and they have become undoubted like ordinary villains. No wonder the Yuan family was defeated so quickly.
"Hmph, you want to play for the New Han Dynasty?" Su Cheng pouted disdainfully.
"Really, I, Yuan Xi, want to serve the New Han Dynasty, but, it's just that I can't leave ...... for a while."
"You still want to play for the New Han Dynasty? Are you qualified? Su Cheng sneered: "You say, what can you do for my New Han Dynasty?" Leading the army to fight? Or do you want to govern the people of a place? Do you know how to fight wars and how to govern the people? ā
"This ......" Yuan Xi said cheekily, "If you don't understand, you can learn it." IāI'm still young, when I'm studying. ā
"Shut up!" Su Cheng swept his eyes coldly. "Now, I'm not talking to you about this. Now, it is time to judge you, and if you don't deserve to die, or you can be spared, but if you are guilty of heinous crimes, the general will behead you, hang your head on the head of the city, and expose you to the public for three days! ā
"Huh?" Yuan Xi was so frightened that his body went limp. The whole person was limp and paralyzed to the ground.
In his life, he did so many evil things that he couldn't even remember how many. Don't look at him now, he doesn't seem to be very old, but since he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he has known how to play with women, and slowly, he is not satisfied with the maidservants in his own family. began to extend the hand of sin to the common people. He was powerful and powerful, and at that time, he was deeply favored by Yuan Shao, what kind of woman did he want. It's just a matter of one sentence, he has a crush on a woman from a certain family, as long as he opens his mouth. And they were brought to him for his pleasure.
So. Now when he heard that the general of the New Han Army was going to judge him, he thought of the evil things he had done. They all scared themselves stupid.
"Say! Are you confessing yourself, or do you want us to be punished? Or do you want me to gather evidence of what you have done? "Su Cheng has already seen through the essence of this Yuan family's disciple, and there is no merit at all. I didn't bother to ask him anything, originally, I wanted to ask him about Yuan Shao's current defensive line layout, but when he saw Yuan Xi's nest, he felt that this guy might not know too much about Yuan Shao's arrangement.
"No, don't kill me, I, I say, I confess......" Yuan Xi was really scared to death at this moment, because he knew that if he fell into the hands of the New Han Army, he was afraid that he would really die. However, as long as there is the slightest chance, he doesn't want to die. He is also a little clever, knowing that if the New Han Army is allowed to investigate, I am afraid that he really doesn't know how many evil things he will be found out, don't say anything else, just say that in this Handan City, if you ask someone casually, he will already be a capital crime.
So, he wanted to confess, only some of the crimes that were not fatal.
"Well, then you can talk about it, but I will explain to you here that our New Han Army is fair and fair. Although you are the son of Yuan Shao, if it can be proved that you have not done too many evil deeds and are not guilty of death, then our New Han Army is not a person who kills in vain. Including the soldiers who surrendered to our army, as long as they are verified by our Xinhan army, they have indeed not done too many things that hurt nature and reason, we will generally let them go and will not kill people indiscriminately. So, you have to think about it. Of course, if we verify that what you say is not true, then what awaits you will be the end of being executed by Ling Chi. Su Cheng said with a stern face.
The New Han army is indeed different from ordinary princes for capture. If it is proved that those soldiers who have not done evil things to the people, after education and reform, they will be freed, and if they are good, they will also be treated as official civilians of the New Han Dynasty. Naturally, if they want to join the New Han Army, they can. Generally speaking, the more captured soldiers eventually became soldiers of the New Han Army.
But there is one point, which is also relatively different, that is, when the two armies fight, each has its own master, and they kill the soldiers of the New Han Army on the battlefield, which is not counted among them. What the New Han Army wanted to find out was just the evil things they did to the Han people. To put it bluntly, it is actually necessary to investigate the character of the captured enemy soldiers. If those guys are already rotten in their bones, the New Han Dynasty will never let them go.
Because Liu Yi also believes that even if they are enemies, because of the relationship between each other, it is nothing to be enemies of each other, but even if they are enemies, there are people with good hearts, some people who are truly upright, and some people who really think about the people of the Han Dynasty.
For example, Liu Yi wanted to subdue Xun You and Cheng Yu under Cao Cao's account, don't look at their advice for Cao Cao, which brought many disadvantages to the New Han Dynasty, but Liu Yi knew that these two strategists, in their hearts, were all dedicated to the sake of the Han Dynasty. Liu Yi values their character, and of course, he also likes their talents, so he wants to subdue them and let them be used for themselves.
Su Cheng wanted to try Yuan Xi, but in fact, he didn't have to kill him. If Yuan Xi is not considered a heinous crime, then he will still spare Yuan Xi's life. After all, Su Cheng also knew something related to Liu Yi, and knew that one of Liu Yi's wives was Yuan Shao's wife, and he also had a son with Yuan Shao, and Liu Yi once wanted to take Yuan Shao's son away. It's just that Yuan Shao's son is too unbearable, and he actually wants to kill Liu Yi, and even his biological mother wants to kill him.
But even so, Liu Yi didn't say anything to these generals about this matter, but, like Zhao Yun and other generals of the unified army, they talked to them in private, if anyone met Yuan Tan, if he had little impact on his own army and there was no damage, but let him live, this was because they didn't want Liu Yi to do it. You know, if Yuan Tan really died and was killed by his own army, then how would he explain to that lady? As long as the person is not dead, then anything is possible, and if he is really dead, the lady will be blamed if she doesn't blame Liu Yi.
Therefore, now that Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi has been caught, Su Cheng wants to see what kind of guy this Yuan Xi is, and what is the difference between Yuan Tan and that Yuan Tan.
However, Yuan Xi was afraid that he had disappointed Su Cheng. (To be continued......)
