Chapter 21: Killed
Yuan Wei's good mood because of the victory over the Jiangdong Army and the killing of Tai Shici did not last long.
In the evening, Yuan Shu's brigade hurried to Xia Cai County, but what made Yuan Wei unbelievable was that there were less than 10,000 people left in the 100,000 army when he came out of Shouchun!
Moreover, the thousands of carts of utensils and property that Yuan Shu brought out from Shouchun were all lost.
What's more, even Yuan Shu himself was disheveled, and the dragon robe on his body was filthy, looking like he had just crawled out of the mud.
"Father......" Yuan Wei walked out of the city gate, ready to say hello to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu rode over directly, without even looking at Yuan No.
Immediately behind Yuan Shu were the queen Feng and the crown prince Yuan Yao, the two of them rode on the same horse, looking the same embarrassed, Feng only glanced at Yuan Nuo coldly, but Yuan Yao made a grimace at Yuan Nuo.
Walking behind Feng and Yuan Yao's mother and son, it was a young couple.
Yuan Wei fused the memories of the two people, and naturally recognized the couple, this woman is his sister Yuan Ji, the man is his brother-in-law, and he is also the captain of the Zhong Dynasty, Huang Yi, at this moment, Huang Yi and Yuan Ji no longer have their usual grace and arrogance, except for embarrassment or embarrassment.
Yuan Ji is still always indifferent to Yuan No.
Before Huang Yi entered the city gate, he turned back and threw an extremely cold glance at Yuan Wei.
Yuan Fu's brows frowned without a trace, what is the situation?
Huang Yi's eyes seem to be full of bitter hatred, Ni Mei, Lao Tzu doesn't seem to provoke you much, as for hating like this?
Immediately behind Yuan Ji and Huang Yi, there were many lords, and what made Yuan Que puzzling was that these lords actually cast hateful glances at him, as if Yuan Might had slept with their mother.
Then there were civil officials such as Yan Xiang and Jin Shang, and they all shook their heads and said nothing when asked.
It wasn't until Ji Ling walked over that Yuan Wei finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that after Sun Ce defeated Zhang Xun's army, he didn't stop, and then defeated Ji Ling's army of 20,000!
Speaking of which, Ji Ling's defeat was actually quite unjust, Ji Ling's ability to command troops was much stronger than Zhang Xun's, and his prestige among the soldiers of the Yuan army was far better than Zhang Xun's.
However, Ji Ling was defeated in the end.
The reason for this is that Yuan Shu was timid at the critical moment of the match and slipped away in advance.
If Yuan Shu honestly stayed in Ji Ling's Chinese army's main formation, then Ji Ling could consume Sun Ce to death, 20,000 people against Sun Ce's 1,000 cavalry, and Yuan's army had an absolute advantage in strength.
Unfortunately, when Sun Ce led the cavalry to launch an assault on Yuan Shu's Chinese army, Yuan Shu was timid, thinking that Sun Ce had once defeated Liu Shu's 100,000 army with less than 100 horsemen in the Niuzhu camp, Yuan Shu was completely frightened, and before Sun Ce rushed to kill him, he jumped off the imperial chariot, took a horse from the eunuch, and ran away on horseback.
Yuan Shu's escape directly shook the morale of Yuan Jun's army, so the army was defeated.
Fortunately, Ji Ling is also a veteran of the battlefield who has experienced a hundred battles, in the face of such a difficult situation, he still tried his best to bring back more than 8,000 people, which is already an excellent result, let's just say that another general of Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun, gave him an army of 80,000 and finally brought back less than 800 people, and the comparison between the two is really superior.
However, what makes people laugh and cry is that before he arrived in Xia Cai, Ji Ling was relieved of his military power, and the remaining more than 8,000 remnants of the soldiers were handed over to Zhang Xun by Yuan Shu.
Yuan really couldn't think of what kind of intention Yuan Shu was doing this?
If it is said that he is worried that Ji Ling has a heavy army in his hands and will have unauthorized power, then now hand over all the soldiers and horses to Zhang Xun, aren't you afraid that Zhang Xun will be able to take power? Therefore, the most reasonable way should be to divide the 8,000 remnants into two and hand them over to Ji Ling and Zhang Xun to be in command in the future, rather than handing them all over to Zhang Xun as they are now.
Seeing that Ji Ling was a little sullen, Yuan Wei said casually: "Don't worry, general, when you see your father, my son will speak for you, and I will never let you be wronged." ”
"Childe, don't do that." Ji Ling was anxious at that time, and said, "Your Majesty's temper should be clearer than the last general, the reason why Your Majesty saw the last general was not angry that the last general lost his troops, but because...... Therefore, the more Gongzi speaks for the last general, the more His Majesty hates the last general. ”
Yuan Wei only reacted at this time, and dared Yuan Shu to seize Ji Ling's military power because Ji Ling did not protect his Luan Driver, causing him to discard so many utensils and property.
As mentioned earlier, Yuan Shu was born in the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third duke, and he has been extremely particular about the quality of life since he was a child, there must be fine meat at every meal, and he must bathe first when he sleeps, and he must get Lan Tang, but now because of Ji Ling's poor protection, he has lost so many necessities of life at once, and the quality of life of Yuan Shu is difficult to guarantee.
Thinking of this, Yuan Nuo couldn't laugh or cry.
Ji Ling said again: "It's you, son, you have to be careful." ”
Yuan Wei remembered the hostility of Huang Yi and those lords to him just now, so his heart was agitated, and he asked Ji Ling in a low voice: "When the captain of the horse and a group of lords entered the city just now, their opinions on me seemed to be quite big, but I really can't remember where I offended them, I don't know if the general knows the reason?" ”
Ji Ling looked around at no one on the left and right, and whispered: "It's not because of Gongzi that you stopped the convoy of the lords and nobles from leaving the city, you have to let the people of Shouchun go out of the city first, because of this, all the property of these lords and nobles has fallen into the hands of the Jiangdong army, Gongzi, you say, can the captain of the horse and those lords and nobles not hate you?" ”
"Huh?" Yuan was speechless for a moment.
(Dividing Line)
Like Yuan No, Sun Ce's mood was originally quite good.
defeated Yuan Shu's army with 1,000 elite cavalry in a row, captured nearly 100,000 strong men, not to mention, and seized countless utensils and property, how could Sun Ce's mood be bad?
Sun Ce's mood was so good that he didn't really want to hunt down Yuan Shu.
Of course, the premise is that Yuan Shu must return the jade seal of the country.
However, as the news of Tai Shici's death came back, Sun Ce's good mood immediately disappeared.
"What did you say?" Sun Ce grabbed the breastplate of the remnant soldier who came to report the news, lifted him up in the air, and then his hair was open, gritting his teeth and saying, "What did you say?" ”
The remnants of the soldiers were full of panic, but they still stubbornly said: "Lord, our army has been defeated, and General Taishi has also been killed. ”
"No, it can't be! This is categorically impossible! Sun Ce smashed the remnants to the ground with his hand, and shouted loudly, "Ziyi's martial arts are not under a certain level, who can be his opponent under Yuan Shu's puppet account?" There is no one, no one under Yuan Shu's account is his opponent at all, who can kill Ziyi, who can kill Ziyi? ”
Generals Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Song Qian, and Jia Hua were also shocked.
How high Tai Shi Ci's martial arts are, they know better than anyone that they can fight with the lord for half a day without winning or losing, looking at the entire Jiangdong, they are afraid that there is only Tai Shi Ci! Although Zhou Tai and Zhou Youping are also brave generals, in terms of martial arts alone, they are slightly inferior to the lord and Tai Shici, there is no doubt about it.
But now, Tai Shi Ci is actually killed!
In Yuan Shu's army, there is still someone who can kill Tai Shici?
Doesn't it mean that this person's martial arts are higher than the lord's?
At that moment, Huang Gai stepped forward and asked, "You, have you ever seen clearly, who beheaded General Tai Shici?" ”
The remnant soldier turned over and knelt on the ground, and said in a panic: "General Huiyu, yes yes, yes, yes or no." ”
"What do you say? Yuan No?! Sun Ce's tiger eyes were round for a moment, and his eyes were almost bigger than a copper bell.
It's so shocking, it's too unbelievable, Yuan is that waste, he can actually kill Tai Shici?
Sun Ce has been under Yuan Shu's account for three years, and of course he knows Yuan No, the eldest son of the Yuan family, in Sun Ce's impression, although Yuan Que is from a wealthy family, he is a waste at all, and he may not be able to make a fart with three sticks.
But I haven't seen it for two years, but this waste is like a changed person, first led the troops out of the water gate to counterattack the Cao army, so that the Cao army's siege of the city failed, and then went out alone to Cao Ying, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Bei and he played him around, and he almost turned his face with Cao Cao, and now, this waste is even more killed Tai Shici.
Is this true? How does it feel so unreal?
This is so ridiculous, Yuan didn't actually behead Tai Shici with this waste, is there anything more ridiculous than this?
Huang Gai also asked the remnant soldier: "Did you see Yuan kill General Tai Shici with your own eyes?" Say, have you ever seen it with your own eyes? ”
"The villain didn't see it with his own eyes." The remnant soldier shook his head and said, "But the villain did see whether Gongzi was carrying General Tai Shici's people to the city. ”
Huang Gai asked again: "What you see, is it really the head of General Tai Shi Ci?" ”
"I guess so." The remnant soldier was also not sure, saying, "The distance is a bit far, and the flesh and blood are blurry, and the villain actually doesn't see it very really." ”
Sun Ce laughed out loud and said to Huang Gai and the others: "The two old generals, as well as Song Qian and Jia Hua, you heard it, this guy actually didn't see it with his own eyes, so he said, with Ziyi's bravery, how could he be folded under Yuan Xiao'er?" It must be wrong, it must be wrong, Ziyi must not have died. ”
Huang Gai waved his hand and ordered the remnants to withdraw from the tent.
Huang Gai knew that although Sun Ce said he didn't believe it, he actually believed it.
The reason is very simple, according to the remnants of the soldiers, Tai Shi Ci was first entered into the city by Yuan Wei by fraud, and then lowered the thousand jin gate to cut the Jiangdong army into two, and then Tai Shi Ci and the more than 200 Jiangdong cavalry who entered the city never came out, if Tai Shi Ci had not died in battle, he would have come back a long time ago.
At that moment, Huang Gai said: "My lord, no matter whether General Tai Shi Ci is dead or alive, one thing is very clear, that is, General Tai Shi Ci is indeed defeated, and the 2,000 cavalry led by him is also six out of ten. ”
Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said: "A certain is to chase to the ends of the earth, and also vow to recapture the jade seal!" ”
After speaking, Sun Ce pulled out a knife and cut off a corner of the table, gritted his teeth and said: "There is also Yuan Wei Xiao'er, insulting a certain first, killing a certain son is second, and a certain is chased to the ends of the earth, and he also swears to take his life!" ”
