Chapter 1001: Heading North (7)
Gao Yang, who learned that a large-scale infighting was breaking out in Yecheng through a night reconnaissance plane, ordered the whole army to prepare for combat at that time. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
When the sky was showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, Gao Yang was about to send troops to attack Yecheng, but the gate of Yecheng was suddenly opened. Yecheng surrendered.
Subsequently, Gao Yang learned from the messenger who came to beg for surrender that Yuan Shao had actually died in the fierce battle last night.
"What the hell is going on? In detail. There was a hint of chill in Gao Yang's tone. In his opinion, although Yuan Shao is his opponent, he should not die at the hands of these people.
"Yes, yes, yes." The messenger was a very shrewd and eloquent man, and when he heard it, he immediately uttered the processed words.
Gao Yang's own translation goes like this. A group of leaders of the Gaomen clan who were unwilling to join Yuan Shao in the burial of Yecheng agreed that Yuan Shao would be defeated in Yecheng after some discussion. They were unwilling to die with Yuan Shao, so they staged a mutiny to overthrow Yuan Shao's rule, and then surrendered to Gaoyang outside the city, intending to save their lives.
There were only more than 10,000 defenders in Yecheng, and many of them were the defenders who had been recruited when they drove away Han Fu. The big families who raised troops to deal with Yuan Shao were all high-ranking families who had been rooted in this Hebei land for more than a hundred years, and their roots were extremely profound. The number of their children and servants alone outnumbered the defenders.
Yuan Shao didn't notice it at all.
In fact, he was aware of the group before it was launched. But the constant attacks of Gao Yang outside the city attracted most of his attention. In addition, at this critical moment, he must rely on the help of these gate valves. Most importantly, Yuan Shao believed that Gao Yang's methods of forced land reclamation were intolerable to these gatekeepers, so he did not really believe that these people would rebel.
Yuan Shao believes that the conflict of interest between Gate Valve and Gao Yang cannot be resolved. But he didn't know that conflicts of interest were compromiseable. Especially in times of despair.
Then, the gate lords in Yecheng really rebelled.
There is no suspense in the outcome. Yuan Shao, who had most of his energy on the city wall, was like ashes when he was attacked by a surprise attack, and his whole heart was dead at that time. Yuan Shao knew his own state, and he also knew that there was no hope of survival in this situation. In the end, Yuan Shao personally led the troops to attack the rebels in despair, and was finally killed in the army with Zhang He and others.
The last confidant next to Yuan Shao, Tian Feng, who had previously reminded Yuan Shao that there was an abnormal movement in the gate valve in the city, committed suicide and martyrdom immediately after Yuan Shao's death.
Zhang He, who had not recovered from his injuries, fought desperately to the last moment. He tried to escort Yuan Shao out of the siege and went outside the city, but ultimately failed. Zhang He himself fought unyieldingly. In the end, he was killed by random arrows.
Almost all of Yuan Shao's guards and loyal subordinates were killed in battle. The few who were captured were slaughtered for fear of reprisals.
"Whew~~~" Gao Yang let out a long breath. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he looked at the messenger who was kneeling on the ground with an indifferent expression. The murderous intent in the depths of his eyes flashed away.
Treachery!
But everyone has an instinctive aversion to this kind of thing, and Gao Yang is naturally no exception. It's just that these people's motives are not pure. But after all, there is merit in dedicating the city. Gao Yang didn't just leave with one vote, and he would continue to rule this time and space in the future, and he couldn't clean up these gates at such a time.
Shaking his head slightly, he pondered for a moment, and then looked at the extremely humble messenger with a cold gaze. said in a cold voice, "You guys...... Hand over all the fields. Emancipate all tenants. All the families were split and relocated, and they were never allowed to stay in Hebei forever. ”
Before the panicked messenger could raise his head and say something, Gao Yang suddenly raised his arm to stop him from speaking. Looking at the messenger with a calm gaze, he said in a cold voice word by word, "This is not a request, this is my order." If you dare to pop out of your mouth, you will not be forgiven! ”
No matter what they thought in their hearts, the various gate lords who had already embarked on the road of no return had rebelled and killed Yuan Shao and became the object of contempt for the whole world. They no longer have the ability to offend and disobey Gao Yang's orders.
Once the bottom line in my heart is lowered by itself, it will naturally fall again and again.
For Gao Yang's murderous order, these gate valves could only knock out their teeth and swallow it with blood.
After the Gaoyang army completely controlled Yecheng. Each gate valve honestly arranged the separation of the family according to Gao Yang's order. One by one, the big families were dismantled into a large number of small families, each of them said goodbye in tears and scattered in all directions. The fields and houses they left behind were all redistributed by Gaoyang to the landless people. After the war, Yecheng quickly settled down.
Yuan Shao's body was placed securely, and together with the corpses of his soldiers and soldiers who had died in battle, he was escorted by the captured Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses all the way to the direction of the Bohai Sea. This is Gao Yang's last respect for his opponent. At least, they were all killed in battle.
"The Yuan family is finished, and there is no force in Hebei that can stop the progress of the lord." Jia Xu, who looked relaxed, put down the chess pieces in his hand and said with a smile.
Gao Yang, who was sitting opposite him, turned dark, pursed the corners of his mouth vigorously, and his nose quickly fanned a few times. Suddenly, he was extremely irritable and threw all the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, causing a crisp sound.
Gao Yang, who was huffing, said unhappily, "Don't play anymore." It's not interesting at all. ”
Facing Gao Yang, who was cheating, Jia Xu just smiled and said nothing, and packed up the chessboard with a smile.
Gao Yang's Go skills cannot be compared with Jia Xu in any way. And Jia Xu doesn't have the slightest intention of releasing water, and killing the chess pieces is called a neat one. Gao Yang didn't see the kind of thing that was said above so that the lord couldn't see how to win.
After losing more than a dozen games in a row. No matter how thick Gao Yang's skin is, he can't play anymore.
Gao Yang lit a cigarette, and after swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog, he still said a little unwillingly, "Next time we play flying chess, I don't believe that you can still win me?" ”
Jia Xu, who had a light expression on his face, shook his head with a chuckle, and said with a smile, "Lord, chess skills are just cultivating sentiments. Why take it so seriously? ”
Gao Yang waved his hand, smiled, and responded, "Forget it, don't talk about this." This Hebei just took a Yecheng, how can I say that no one can stop me? Although Yuan Shao is dead, he still has a lot of legacy, and his three sons will still cause me trouble if they don't surrender. Also, in Youzhou, Gongsun Chan has already defeated Liu Yu, and his strength is also very strong. The road to sweeping the north of the river looks like it is still a long one. ”
After inhaling the cigarette vigorously and spitting out a large circle, Gao Yang continued thoughtfully, "Yanzhou, Yuzhou is unstable. Cao Cao and others are aggressively expanding their troops and horses. And Qingzhou is entrenched in hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army. Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places are also divided. These are all hidden dangers. ”
"The lord is too worried." Jia Xu waved his hand and said with a smile, "As soon as Yuan Shao dies, none of his sons will be successful." The soldiers and horses left behind by Yuan Shao were enough for them to fight a good game on their own. After they fought hard and exhausted all their confidence, the lord's army went north, and these dogs had to be captured obediently? ”
"It's really a tiger father and a dog." Gao Yang couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard Jia Xu's description. Compared with Yuan Shao's eloquence and personality charm, his sons really can't be brought to the table.
Yuan Shao's extremely gorgeous think tank and military generals were almost wiped out under the double blow of Gao Yang and the family lords. After losing the assistance of these talents, Yuan Shao's sons will toss Yuan Shao's last inheritance faster and clean.
"As for Gongsun Boju." When it came to Gongsun Zhan, Jia Xu's face showed a look of disdain. said lightly: "Originally, after fighting to the death with Liu Yu, it was already a big injury. At this time, I didn't want to lick my wounds to recuperate, but I hurriedly stretched my hand into the land of Hebei, taking advantage of the time when our army was fighting with Yuan Shao. Although some territory was occupied, the soldiers and horses were not rested, the newly acquired territory was not properly settled, and the reserves of materials were extremely depleted. What qualifications does he have to stop the Lord's steps in dominating the world? ”
"Where's Lu Bu?" Gao Yang's eyes froze slightly, and he said loudly, "He is still entangled with Zhang Yan now?" If he goes north to attack Gongsun Zhan, seize his territory and strength. With Li Ru by his side, he can cause more trouble than Gongsun Zhan. ”
"What the lord said is very true." Jia Xu nodded in agreement, and said in response, "If Li Ru is not here, Lu Bu may go and rob the Yuan family of those dogs." Thus forcing these infighting brothers to join forces to resist, and then both sides died together. But Li Ru must be able to see that robbing the Yuan family now is far inferior to robbing Gongsun Zhan, who is already at the end of the crossbow. It's just that. Speaking of this, Jia Xu laughed out loud with a strange expression, "Whether it is the Yuan family or Gongsun Zhan, they have been operating in this riverside land for many years, where can Lu Bu, who has just arrived, eat?" A certain believes that in the end, after the scuffle, no one will be able to help anyone. When the lord sends out his troops, the overall situation will naturally be decided. ”
"So you say, I've been here all this time and looking at the scenery?" Gao Yang frowned slightly and asked out loud.
Gao Yang had little patience for this classical form of warfare. He was not willing to waste too much time on the war. After all, it occupies an absolute advantage in strength, and Gao Yang hopes to quickly flatten the world.
"My lord." Jia Xu said with a smile: "Didn't the lord say that Yanyu and other places were unstable before? The Lord can take advantage of this good opportunity to pacify Yanyu and other places first, and at the same time give those people in the north a chance to bite each other. With the lord in Yecheng, they don't dare to do anything. ”
Gao Yang narrowed his eyes, snuffed out his cigarette casually, and stretched out his fingers to tap lightly on the chessboard. After a while, as if he suddenly thought of something funny, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly, "It's okay." (To be continued.) )
