Chapter 684: Just Asking for One Death

Siege is a common tactic used in siege warfare, opening a gap for the enemy army in the city, which can put the enemy army in a state of indecision, without making them determined to fight the siege to the death from the beginning, and leaving them in the hesitant choice of defending and breaking through and fleeing.

Earlier, when Cao Hong was in Jiangdu City, this was the case, because Jiangdu City faced the river, so the New Han Army let them leave the city by waterway, but they were limited by conditions and could not leave by waterway. Later, on the land route, the New Han army also deliberately made a gap to allow Cao Hong to escape from Jiangdu City, and then wave the army to attack. In this case, it is much better than storming the city wall directly.

However, in Beihai City, the Xinhan Army did not deliberately open a gap for Yuan Shangjun in Beihai City to flee for his life.

Because of a situation like Yuan Shangjun, let them escape from Beihai City, they couldn't escape, because they had no way to escape.

Facing the sea in the east, the territory in the north has fallen into the hands of Gongsun Zhan, the south is the Gongsun army that was attacked from the sea, and the great vein of Mount Tai in the northwest is the territory of Zang Ba's power, even if they enter the mountain, I am afraid there will not be a good life.

Therefore, as soon as Tai Shici's military horses arrived, they immediately surrounded Beihai City, and there was no intention to let Yuan Shangjun of Beihai City have the possibility of escaping Beihai.

Tai Shi Ci wanted to directly assist the Yuan army in Beihai City to surrender, and if he did not surrender, then he would directly attack Beihai and let them repay the power of the trebuchet of the New Han army again.

Tai Shi Ci went out to fight, but among Yuan Shangjun, hearing Tai Shi Ci's name was like thunder. Where do you dare to fight?

Actually, the people of the city. At this time, I heard that the New Han army had surrounded the city, and it was Tai Shici who led the army to attack. They have already returned to their hearts, and they want to surrender immediately. It's just that the people are moved, but they don't dare to do anything, because the trial has already issued a strict order, and they must desperately defend the city, and they must not surrender. Anyone in the city who talks about surrendering will take it immediately. Beheading.

Under the high pressure of the trial, although the soldiers and civilians of Beihai City feel a little pessimistic and desperate, they are still under the control of the trial for the time being.

But all this is only temporary.

In this life, it is impossible to have another chance to let the judge hold the city for several months.

In any war, if the side on the defensive is only holding on to the fortified city, it will definitely not be able to hold it. Sooner or later, they will fall.

Like Beihai City, there is no foreign aid, and they can only rely on themselves to fight against the army of the New Han Army. And they didn't dare to fight head-on with the New Han army at all. Even the city gates did not dare to come out. Under such circumstances, their long-range attack weapons were not as sophisticated as those of the New Han Army. To talk about the bow and arrow aspect. They were condescending at the head of the city. Or it can barely shoot with the bows and arrows of the New Han army with a long range, forming a situation that is on par. But. What about the siege and killing weapons of the New Han Army? Their bows and arrows could not be fired, and the trebuchets they placed on the city were also not as far as the range of the trebuchets of the New Han Army, and they were completely in a passive situation.

I don't know what the trial thinks, in such a situation, I still want to defend and fight the New Han Army to the end.

The trebuchet of the New Han Army once again recklessly wielded.

The desperate bombardment of Beihai City, which had not stopped for two or three days, bombarded the walls of Beihai City into potholes and crumbling, and it seemed that it might collapse at any time.

At this time, Mo said that he was an ordinary Yuan Jun, even if he was a match, his face was already bloodless.

Yuan Shang could no longer withstand the roar of the trebuchet, and the whole person was in a state of collapse, he no longer wanted to live this kind of fearful life, he proposed to the judge, hoping to negotiate with the New Han Army to see if there was a conditional surrender. At the very least, after surrendering, Yuan Shang had to save his life and keep his freedom. He didn't want to spend his life in the prison of the New Han Dynasty after surrendering.

However, the trial was unmoved, and he didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he would rather die than descend. He has military power in his hands, so he doesn't even need to listen to Yuan Shang's opinion.

This may really have something to do with the character of the match. Or is the so-called loyal minister who does not matter to the two masters, he was indeed deeply favored by Yuan Shao in his early years, so he wanted to keep this last inheritance for Yuan Shao in his death, or he wanted to win the reputation of a loyal martyr for fame and fortune.

But it's a pity. In history, in the face of Cao Cao's months of siege, even if the heart of the match is like a chime stone and has the integrity of not surrendering to the enemy, his subordinates are unwilling to die with him.

It is already obvious that there is no point in Beihai City to defend it any longer, and it is enough to passively defend the city at the head of the city every day, and pray every day that the stone bullets flying from the sky will not fall on him.

Therefore, after the generals of the trial and match learned that even Yuan Shang wanted to surrender, but the trial was unwilling to surrender, several generals met in private, and felt that now in addition to surrendering, there is only one way to die, once they really wait for the New Han army to enter the city, even if they do not die, they will become the slaves of the New Han army. After all, they also all knew that most of the people captured by the New Han Army had become laborers and had toiled all their lives.

In this way, instead of waiting for the Xinhan army to break through Beihai City and kill it, they should take the initiative and take the initiative to surrender to the Xinhan army.

Among them, even the nephew of the family who was judged was judged, and he couldn't stand such a torment and participated in the generals' dedication to the city.

This, not long ago, because of the panic and depression in his heart, he drank a little wine in private, and missed the matter of patrolling and defending the city, and as a result, he was reprimanded by the judge, and in order to strictly enforce military discipline, the judge beat the judge with ten rods. This, similar to history, is because of some things that make Xian Rong hold a grudge.

On the night of three days after the official siege of the city by the New Han Army, Feng Chu first betrayed the judge, who had followed the judge for many years and was the most relied on and trusted general of the trial. However, it was the person he trusted the most who was the first to open the gate of Beihai City and led Yuan Shangjun out of the city to beg for surrender.

Then, the guards of several gates also opened the gates and surrendered almost at the same time.

And Jurong is even more with Ma Yan and other Yuan Shang's subordinate generals, who bind Jurong to Ju Ji. And together with Yuan Shang, he was sent outside the city. It was handed over to Tai Shici, Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang and other generals of the New Han Army.

The trial has a personal relationship with Feng Ji, and Feng Ji also talked to Tai Shici.

Therefore. In the big tent of the Chinese army of the New Han Army, Tai Shici looked at the trial who was escorted to the front, and said indifferently: "General of the trial, why bother? Now, the general trend of the world is the same, your Yuan family has long been in decline, and it is impossible to make a comeback. Is the Yuan family still worthy of your loyalty? Mr. Sei Ji once talked to a certain person, saying that you have a strong personality and are a loyal person. Moreover, he can be literate and martial, and he is good at using soldiers. Our new Han Dynasty also needs to judge talents like you, a general. Just listen to Tai Shi Ci's advice, those who know affairs are Junjie, and they will submit to our new Han Dynasty. ”

"Phew! Judging a traitor who would rather die than surrender and kill my lord. Now that I have been betrayed and captured, I have nothing to say. Don't say more, loyal ministers don't care about the two masters. The trial is only for quick death. ”

"Humph! I don't know what to do! Don't think that so-and-so won't dare to kill you! "Gongsun Kang is young and vigorous, and when he saw that the trial match was caught, he dared to be so tough. I couldn't help but draw my sword to kill him.

"Haha, come on, the old man can't ask for it! Immortal. The trial is sorry for the lord under Jiuquan. Kill the old man, so that the old man can go to the Lord. The judge laughed fearlessly.

"Judge the general. Why bother? The so-called dead are gone, the living. You have to live well. What's more, if you keep a useful body, you can also contribute to the revitalization of our Han Dynasty, which is what you have to consider when judging the general. Tai Shi Ci waved his hand, telling Gongsun Kang not to be impulsive, and to persuade him patiently.

"Yes, the old man only hates that he failed to keep his useful body and avenge the Lord!" The judge said to Tai Shi Ci with a cold expression: "It's best, you still kill the judge, otherwise, as long as the judge has a breath, he will definitely fight with you to the end!" ”

"Uh......" Tai Shi Ci really hasn't met someone like Judge Match, and he doesn't know how to persuade him for a while. If he made up his mind to be an enemy of the New Han Dynasty, it would not be good if he was allowed to do something harmful to the New Han Dynasty.

"General Tai Shici, you don't have to be embarrassed, the old man begged for death, he just wanted to have a good name. To die at your hands is not an insult to the old man's name. So, come on, the old man's life was given by the original Lord, and now, returning it to him can be regarded as having a beginning and an end. ”

"This ......" Tai Shi Ci looked at Gongsun Du and wanted to ask Gongsun Du's opinion.

If it is really Tai Shici who is in charge of himself, thinking that it is better to keep his life first and escort him back to the New Han Dynasty, when the time comes, let Feng Ji and the lord Liu Yi persuade him, he really doesn't want to surrender, then it is not too late to kill. However, the Qingzhou battlefield is the main battlefield of Gongsun Du, and Tai Shici only came to support, so we have to see what Gongsun Du means.

"General Taishi, after the unification of our Han Dynasty, it will be the time of great governance, and when the time comes, what our Han needs most is peace and stability. An enemy general like the trial general, who would rather die than surrender, will definitely cause trouble in the place once he is given the opportunity. Gongsun believes that the Yuan family is one family, the fourth generation and the third duke, and its protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world. Now, there may not be anyone who will do anything, but in the future, it is inevitable that some people will miss the kindness of the Yuan family, and with the help of people with hearts, it is inevitable that some rebellions will occur. So ......"

Gongsun Du said in front of the judge: "General Judge, since you are bent on death, we have no choice but to be all your name, and a person's life will be a hundred, and you can avoid a lot of trouble in the future, do you say so?" ”

"Hehe, it's General Gongsun Du who understands this truth. To tell you the truth, in your court, there were also many courtiers who had a lot of relationships with the Yuan family back then, but now the New Han Dynasty is huge, and no one dares to do anything, but when the Taiping period comes, there will definitely be some courtiers who will think of the Yuan family's kindness and will do something for the Yuan family. Therefore, killing Juan is indeed the best choice. ”

"That's it, come on! Escort the interrogator down! ”

Tai Shici did not persuade again, and ordered people to come in and take the trial down.

Tai Shici didn't have a deep impression of the trial, and he didn't think it mattered much whether he killed or not. It's just that most people in ancient times paid more attention to their honors and didn't have sand in their eyes, so killing him might be the best treatment for him.

Gongsun Du also nodded in agreement with Tai Shici's way of dealing with it, a general of the Yuan army is just a general, kill it, it's not a big deal.

In fact, killing the trial match also made the generals of the Yuan army who surrendered feel at ease. Because they are all worried that in case the trial match agrees to surrender, then with the reputation and talent of the trial, it is estimated that it will really be reused by the New Han Dynasty in the end. If so, they're in trouble.

According to some practices of the New Han Army, these people, who are also generals of the Yuan Army, are estimated to still be judged and commanded. In this case, how to deal with them in the future, even if they are killed, they will have no place to redress their grievances.

Therefore, the biggest advantage of cutting the trial is that it can make these Yuan soldiers who surrendered to the New Han Army feel at ease.

After disposing of the trial match who was bent on death, Tai Shici let the trial be buried again, which can be regarded as his integrity.

Then, it was Yuan Shang's turn to dispose of Yuan Shang, who had been frightened into a puddle of soft mud.

"Don't kill me...... Don't kill me...... I am the son of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, you can't kill me......"

Yuan Shang already looked a little delirious, and only knew how to kneel on the ground, and kept thinking about forgiveness.

"Humph! Father! General Taishi, the remnants of the Yuan family, leave it to me to deal with, wait for the child to cut off his bird's head, send his bird's head to Uncle Gongsun Zhan, and let Uncle Gongsun Chan also let out a bad breath of defeat by Yuan Shao back then. ”

Gongsun Kang looked at this descendant who was originally high up, and the third prince of the Yuan family knelt down in front of him to ask for mercy, and his heart was very happy. Seriously, before Yuan Shao was defeated, in those decades, the Yuan family made people feel a bit lofty. Now that he can solve the descendants of the Yuan family with his own hands, Gongsun Kang feels happy.

Even the trial who was loyal to the Yuan family had already been killed, so Yuan Shang, who was originally a disciple of the Yuan family, naturally had to stay. Keep him, who knows what he will do in the future that is not conducive to the New Han Dynasty?

Tai Shi Ci didn't have any opinions, anyway, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao's own sons, had already been killed, killing one was killing, and killing another one didn't feel anything. Originally, the Yuan family was an enemy, and Tai Shici and Gongsun Du didn't think about leaving a queen for the Yuan family.

Gongsun Kang saw that Tai Shici and his father Gongsun Du didn't seem to have any opinions, so he stepped forward and pulled Yuan Shang, who was crying in panic, and wanted to pull out the noon gate to be executed and beheaded.

But at this moment, a snow-white carrier pigeon, Pu Teng, flew to the door of the Chinese army's tent. (To be continued.) )
