Chapter 227: Yuan Shu's Death
As he was talking, a soldier inadvertently kicked over the treasure box that Yuan Shu was holding just now, and piles of treasures were scattered inside, flashing with various lusters, red, green, gold and silver, which made people dizzy and salivating.
But that's it, none of Zang Ba's soldiers stepped forward to pick it up, and Zang Ba was also shocked by this expensive treasure, and hurriedly asked people to wrap it in red silk, and ordered the messenger to give these things to Cao Cao in Xuchang along with the head.
In this easy encirclement, the Xuzhou soldiers did not suffer any casualties at all, but killed many of Yuan Shu's men. Those soldiers with yellow faces and thin muscles, weak strength, and serious injuries were powerless to resist at all, and after Yuan Shu's death, they fell to their knees one after another, holding their heads in their hands and begging for mercy.
Zang Ba and Chen Deng walked over and asked them, "Why are you so thin?" ”
Yuan Shu's soldiers said: "After the defeat of Shouchun, I haven't eaten a single meal, how can I not be thin?" The military rations have been exhausted, and the military salaries are even more unable to buy a steamed bun, so we are really hungry! ”
After Zang Ba heard this, he asked his soldiers to bring food for these people to eat, and prepared to compile them into the household registration of Xuzhou, so that they could become ordinary people. Chen Deng was sighing and lamenting Yuan Shu's mediocrity.
But it is useless to sigh, the self-proclaimed fourth and third dukes, or the family's descendant Yuan Shu, Yuan Highway, one of the former princes of the Eighteen Roads in Kanto, died in the mountains of Xuzhou.
Before he died, there was no bitter fighting, nor did he make any majestic remarks, until the moment he died, he took fame and fortune for what he was pursuing, and he lost his life, which was indeed deserved.
The general trend of the world, a few people gain power, and a few people lose power. Yuan Shu was strong in Huainan, with a huge amount of private wealth, but he refused to give a fortune to the people, so Sun Ce came to fight, and the people refused to attach themselves, but the people's hearts were towards Sun Bofu, so that he ended up with a lost dog.
After the defeat, Yuan Shu's soldiers were hungry and sickly, but the treasures in his hands were still enough to form elite troops and make a comeback, but he didn't know how to save money, didn't give up a salary, didn't give up a grain, so that he ended up in a different place, and there was no possibility of turning the tables.
It is said that Zhao Yue has come to the city gate of Xuchang City, Cao Cao did not hesitate to identify, led all the generals under his command out of the city to greet him, when he saw that Zhao Yue was sitting in the car, not riding a horse, many of Cao Cao's generals revealed a burst of disdain in their eyes.
Cao Cao also frowned slightly, after all, he had already seen the fiery red red rabbit horse among Zhao Yue's people.
After Zhao Yue got out of the car, Cao Cao stroked his hand and smiled: "Haha, Zhao Changjiao, don't come unharmed, you are still so young and promising, which makes Cao Mengde feel old!" ”
Zhao Yue smiled lightly and said politely: "Brother Meng De, you have a good reputation, this time I came to Xuchang, and I have a glimpse of your current appearance in Xuchang, which really makes Zhao Yue admire, how many people in the world can have such a talent for governing the world, except for Meng De, how many people are there, huh?" ”
After saying this, Cao Cao and Zhao Yue couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, Cao Cao didn't forget to ask with concern: "Little brother Changjiao, you still remember your majestic posture when you were in Kuangting, why did you come this time, not riding a horse, but riding a car, is it because you are unwell?" ”
Zhao Yue secretly said in her heart: In the battle of Kuangting, I led my team to attack Yuan Shu's Wushan granary, and you contained Yuan Shu's army on the front line, how could you see my majestic posture, you can't see it, how can you remember......
I thought so, but Zhao Yue still spoke: "Meng De doesn't know, Zhao Yue has not fought for a long time, and the art of the horse is slightly negligent, so I am afraid that I will be embarrassed in front of Meng De, so I came by car this time." ”
After Cao Cao heard this, he only echoed and laughed a few times, nodded, and didn't say anything, and directly ordered his subordinates to let Zhao Yue and his party enter the city.
Cao Cao and Zhao Yue walked into the city gate side by side, while the civil and military generals under him were on both sides of the city gate, not daring to move, just waiting for the palace to enter the city.
Because after Kuangting, Cao Cao's army added a lot of strategists or generals, most of them have never seen Zhao Yue's appearance, but they heard that this is the descendant of Qin Shi Huang, and from a small soldier to a monarch, so they can't help but look at it a few more times at this moment.
In their eyes, whether Zhao Yue is the descendant of Qin Shi Huang is still up for debate, after all, at this time, as long as it is a person who occupies one side, he will declare that he is a celebrity, and the royal family, they have long been accustomed to it, and it is not strange, but for these people, they have seen a lot of those who claim to be relatives of the Han family, but it is really the first time to see those who claim to be the royal relatives of the previous dynasty, so they are even more curious.
Zhao Yue knew that many people on both sides were looking at him, but he was smiling, walking calmly, and asked Cao Cao from time to time who was the strategist who seemed to be polite, or who was the military general who looked upright in the distance.
Yu Ban smiled, thinking that Zhao Yue would glance at him when he passed by his side, but as a result, Zhao Yue walked over without squinting at all, which made his smile freeze, and he was embarrassed in his heart, so he couldn't help but whisper to Xiahou Yuan on the side: "Miaocai, I think this Zhao Yue is negligent in the art of horse control, I'm afraid he can't ride ......a horse at all."
Coincidentally, Zhao Yun, as Zhao Yue's personal guard, followed Zhao Yue into the city on foot, and when Yu Ban said this, Zhao Yun happened to pass by and heard it.
Before Xiahou Yuan could speak, he saw the silver armor and silver spear in front of him, and a majestic general swept towards this side with an extremely cold gaze, which made people shudder.
Yu Ban was suppressed by this momentum, and quickly cleared his throat and closed his mouth.
In the queue of civil officials opposite, Guo Jia, who was watching this scene, couldn't help frowning.
Walking behind Zhao Yun was Jia Xu, who kept an eye on Cao Cao's strategists as he walked. To be honest, he can almost recognize who these people are, and when he saw that Guo Jia was also there, he was still stunned in his heart, but an unknown smile appeared on his face.
Before they knew it, the group had entered the city, and Cao Cao's generals began to return to the city in order.
Xiahoudun and Xu Huang led their troops to the barracks together, and only the three hundred guards led by Zhao Yun entered the city with Zhao Yue.
The reception dinner was scheduled for the evening of the next day, and Zhao Yue and his entourage were placed in the Xuchang Post House, and Cao Cao seemed to value their safety, and the people sent to the post house could almost see that the post house was surrounded by three floors inside and three layers outside.
At this time, Shouchun, Sun Quan was constantly walking back and forth on the city tower, blue-eyed and purple-haired, he was born with a strong body, not thin, but even so, it was still difficult to hide the sorrow in his heart.
Looking at the southeast, Sun Quan could vaguely smell the damp breath of the river, "Alas, the eldest brother asked me to defend the city, but the other party is Cao Cao, how can I win?" (To be continued.) )
