When Lu Bu rushed towards Deng Ji alone, the battlefield next to Jishui seemed to be silent.
Until I saw this horse and one person all falling, Deng Jijun, Cao Caojun, Gao Shun and other remnants, I don't know whether it was excitement, relief, fear, or helplessness, they all spit out a low "oh"!
The sound of these tens of millions of people gathering quickly woke Deng Ji up from the sluggishness of his hairs standing on end, and looked around.
There are only six or seven hundred remnants in the middle, and the leader Lu Bu is dead, and they are just meat on the head of the case, and they can slaughter the chapters of the novel at will. However, the Henan soldiers did not move, and neither did Cao Cao's army.
It seemed that as soon as Lu Bu died, this battle was over.
In the middle of the two strong armies in front and behind, Gao Shun, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and others had slowly stopped their mounts.
Deng Ji and Cao Cao were looking at them, but they were all looking at Lu Bu's body on the ground, at least at this time, Lu Bu was still their lord, the hero they followed.
After several years of following, running around, suffering all kinds of hardships and hardships, cold-eyed ridicule, grievances and sadness, and having a happy and proud life, the scenery is infinite, and at this time it will finally end, I don't know whether to be relaxed or lost.
After all, it was Deng Ji's abrupt shout that woke up everyone in the audience: "Zhang Wenyuan, don't you surrender me?" β
When he let go of his voice, Deng Ji's voice was very loud, and Che Huang gave him the bandit name of "Lei Gong" back then. This sound can barely be heard even by Cao Jun in the front row.
Gao Shun squinted at Zhang Liao on his side, then looked at the knights one by one, and said solemnly: "Whoever you want to surrender, you can decide yourself!" β
The upper reaches of the Jishui River were the Deng Ji Henan Army, and the lower reaches were occupied by Cao Cao's army.
It is known very well on weekdays. Hear the words. Zhang Liao jumped off the horse in a hurry. Kneeling under Gao Shun's mount, he choked up and said: "Although Wen Hou is dead, there may be no hatred!" Why did the general bother to go underground? β
"I came from a humble background, but I was gentle and simple in the ranks, and I was entrusted with reuse!" Looking up at the sky, Gao Shun replied loudly, as if he didn't just say it to Zhang Liao: "If he doesn't think I Gao Shun is vulgar, I won't abandon him Lu Bu impermanence!" When Gao Shun was not famous. The heroes are all spitting on me like a pig; After Gao Shun shows his talents, he should be the princes of the rats! β
Looking back at Lu Bu's corpse, Gao Shun smiled again: "And I am the head of all the generals under Lu Bu's account, under one person!" Deng Ji and Cao Cao will be lowered, can the position be higher than this? β
After speaking, Gao Shun also jumped off the horse, discarded the spear in his hand, walked past Zhang Liao, and walked towards Lu Bu's corpse step by step.
When he entered the range of the bow and arrows, Lu Kuang had to drink the order to release the arrows. was stopped by Tai Shici's outstretched hand.
Although in the end, Zhang Liao's reputation was not as high, but he only blamed him for dying early. Gao Shun is also a good general! Seeing the expression on Gao Shun's face clearly, Deng Ji suddenly remembered the bitter cockroach that died in Yecheng two years ago, and couldn't help but feel sad, and couldn't help but let go of his throat and said: "The dead should be remembered, and life is more expected!" General Gao doesn't need to be so ......"
Gao Shun had said enough, so as if he hadn't heard, he just silently didn't answer him, picked up Lu Bu's body and turned around and walked towards the Jishui River.
One step at a time, without the slightest hesitation.
In a few moments, he stepped through the water and into the mud, which he went deeper and deeper until the mud was buried above his head, completely invisible.
After Gao Shun and Lu Bu completely sank into the Jishui River, Chen Gong sighed softly, and wiped the sword back to his neck, but suddenly stretched out his hand next to him and pressed his wrist holding the sword tightly.
Suicide failed, and when he turned his head to look, it was Wei Xu who made a move, and Chen Gong asked coldly, "What do you mean?" β
Over there, Hou Cheng also leaned in, unloaded the sword in Chen Gong's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be annoyed by the public platform, since you have decided to die, why don't you help me wait for one or two!" β
Chen Gongxian frowned, and then asked, "You want to vote for Cao Cao, and you want me to be the step of advancement?" β
Wei Xu nodded: "Yes, we have a mortal enmity with Deng Mu'an, and we should go to Cao Gong!" β
"Yes!" Unexpectedly, after Chen Gong thought about it, he actually agreed, gave up resistance completely, and said to them: "Hurry up and tie up!" β
Gao Shun in the river has sunk out of sight, Zhang Liao turned around, found this scene, and immediately became furious, hurriedly stepped forward with a gun, and shouted to the two: "Are you waiting to die?" β
Wei Xu put his sword on Chen's neck and said to him coldly: "Wen waits for Fang to die, Wen Yuan is going to meet us and other soldiers?" β
"I deserve to die, Wen Yuan doesn't have to save me!" Chen Gong also spoke out to prevent Zhang Liao from acting: "If you go to Henan with your feet, my name will not exist in the scholars!" I and Zhang Mengzhuo invited Lu Bu to enter Yanzhou to chase Cao Cao, and I didn't want to lose today. I wanted to save Yanzhou from the chaos, so I should be damned! Now that he is poor, wouldn't it be good to send Cao Cao to vent his hatred in order to reduce the sins of his family? You will save it, and I should also follow Zhang Mengzhuo's example and die now! β
Zhang Liao had no choice but to watch Chen Gong being taken to Cao Cao's army by Hou Cheng and Wei Xu, and almost all the remaining surviving generals left, leaving only 400 horsemen in the same place, and went to Deng Ji's banner with Zhang Liao to surrender.
Deng Ji finally got Zhang Liao to defect to allegiance, and this time he promised to send troops to the alliance with Cao Cao, and it would be perfect for the labor division to go to Yanzhou to fight against Lu Bu.
When Zhang Liao and others were merged into the army, when Deng Ji looked at Cao's army again, he had already prevented the Henan soldiers from suddenly attacking, and the whole army was ready to fight.
Deng Ji was governor of the matter, and after sending an envoy to Cao Cao, he led the army to find Hao Zhao and others first, and then returned to Henan.
Among Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and Cao Cao are friends, and they have known each other for many years, and they are much closer. And Zhang Miao's clan is big, although Zhang Miao, the leader of the party, is dead, the Zhang family under the leadership of Zhang Chao can follow his aspirations, and there are many party affiliations in Yanzhou, and killing him can avoid many future troubles.
However, at this time, Cao Cao had gradually understood that he had been brutal and excessive, and there were still many doubts among the people of Yanzhou, and he could not fully accept it.
Chen Gong replied: "What a fool! If you tell the world about what you want to avoid my death today, wait for me to die, and take good care of my family, you should show the benevolence and righteousness of the public, and those who doubt it can disappear by themselves! β
Cao Cao laughed, took pity on Chen Gong's talent, and persuaded him to surrender, Chen Gong scolded: "Crazy and cruel, Chen Gongtai can be in you again!" β
Chen Gong was bent on death, Cao Cao had no choice but to behead it, and then collect the body and bury it, and according to Chen Gong's dying words, he took care of his family members, and ordered this matter to be spread all over the state, but he wanted to avoid his sin and could not get it, so the people of Yanzhou gradually became peaceful.
When Deng Ji led the army back to Henan, it was the beginning of June of the second year of Xingping.
At this time, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, had defeated Liu Xuan, and ordered to exempt Liu Xuan's subordinates from the crime and pacify the counties; He also ordered the people to be exempted from military service at home, and more than 20,000 troops were gathered in more than ten days, shocking Jiangdong. Except for Yuan Shu, there are no strong neighbors around him, and his rise is unstoppable.
In the land east of the river in Guanzhong, after Li Dao and Guo Yan reconciled, they joined forces to chase the Son of Heaven, but Yang Feng could not stop it, but recruited old friends from the white wave thieves to help. When Han Siam and other leaders arrived, the Son of Heaven was rewarded with official positions.
Youzhou Gongsun Zan is still alone in the city of Yicheng, where the grain is high, Yuan Shao can't take it, but the green and secluded places have been occupied by Yuan Shao, and his family has annexed the land of Youzhou, You, Hebei, and Qing, and the princes are still the first in strength. Frustrated to persuade him to send a teacher to welcome the Son of Heaven from the state, Guo Tu whispered and obstructed: "Gongxiong is in the north, if you welcome the Son of Heaven, everything has an order, and you can't obey it, and if you don't obey, you will be infamy!" β
Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Yuan Shu sent troops to attack it, and the two armies could only hold each other.
When Sun Ce borrowed troops to go south, he used the jade seal as a hostage, and after Yuan Shu got it, he studied the words of "those who represent the Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao" every day, and Zhang Xiao, a native of Hanoi, divined the hexagram for him, saying that he had the emperor's life in his body, and his dissent had risen.
Liu Biao of Jingzhou sent troops to fight Zhang Ji, but they were all unsuccessful, so he had to gradually acquiesce that Wancheng was owned by Zhang Ji, and sent troops to guard the counties south of Wancheng.
When Deng Ji returned this time, Tian Feng was also anxious to find it, and said: "Although you have obtained the correct name of the Deng family and are called the descendants of the Yuan Marquis, but you are from the thieves, and Henan is jealous of the scholars, so the princes are light, and the people are hard to believe!" Today, the son is humiliated and trapped in Hedong, and the two thieves Li Dao and Guo Yan can be harmed every day! Mu An is not only a Hanchen, but also a minister in the world, and when he sends a teacher to welcome the Son of Heaven back to the old capital of Luoyang, his reputation is self-reliant! β
Deng Ji could only smile bitterly and said, "Master Tian doesn't know? Non-disciples are unwilling to welcome the Son of Heaven, it is really difficult to do it! This expedition to LΓΌ Bu only wanted to take the displaced people and thieves of Yanyu and Xu Sanzhou to Shihanoi. However, in the great calamity of the last year, thieves were rampant, and the farming was ruined, and the land where our army went was full of food, and there were many people who would return with them! In the past few months, more than 100,000 refugees have come to vote outside Hangu Pass! Today, Hanoi is not yet available, I only use one county to feed millions of people, and the shortage of grain is very large, and it is difficult to wait for the autumn grain to be put into storage! Even if the autumn grain is ripe this year, it will be insufficient in the coming year! β
Tian Feng naturally knew that he was telling the truth: before Deng Ji set out on the expedition, there were still 600,000 stone grain in the Central Plains of Henan Guancang, and the people in several counties near Luoyang had all the grain in stock, and they could also receive some more after buying with wealth or paying taxes in the next two years. Nowadays, to feed these many people, the daily consumption of food is more than 10,000 stones, which is still the cost of reducing the food ration.
In addition to the huge food shortage, Hanoi County is also unable to accommodate so many people, and there is not enough land. The source of the new influx of people is complicated, and there are many homeless people and thieves, who cause trouble every day, and the two counties have long been insufficient.
Unless these people are driven out again, it is impossible for the current Deng Ji to greet the Son of Heaven or do anything else. The two counties of Henan and Hanoi suddenly had such a population influx, but on the contrary, they were the weakest, if any princes came to attack, or if there was a sudden civil disaster, it would be dangerous.
Of course, if he can survive this period, Deng Ji will also be able to increase his strength.
The top priority of the two counties is to solve these many problems and digest these many people, not to pick up the Son of Heaven.
It's just that he knows that Tian Feng is still a little uneasy in his heart. (To be continued......)
