Chapter 176: Becoming a King and Defeating a Villain
There is only one step away from surrendering Zhao Yun, don't say one condition, that is, ten hundred and hundred, Yuan Mai will agree without hesitation!
"Brother, please speak, the younger brother listens, as long as he can, he will do his best!" Yuan Mai bowed his hand to Zhao Yun and agreed.
Zhao Yun said with a gloomy expression: "Childe, don't worry, my conditions are just a gesture for you, and I won't make you embarrassed." I have followed Gongsun Chan with my brother for many years, and I have been gracious, and I also asked Gongzi to say to Yuan Gong and bury General Gongsun! ”
After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Yuan Mai was relieved, and he didn't know if the bones of Gongsun Zhan could be found under the raging fire? But since Zhao Yun made a request, he promised him that he would not give Yuan Shao, a cheap father, a little face!
Although he was unjustly imprisoned, his brother still did not forget the kindness of his old master, and this loyalty is admirable. My brother is relieved that when I see my father, I will bring this matter up to him! ”
Yuan Mai smiled, agreed to Zhao Yun's conditions, paused, and said: "Ah Zhi and I are husband and wife, and my brother must no longer be called 'son', so won't it hurt the younger brother?" My brother just called me 'Xianyong'! ”
Seeing the sincerity of what Yuan Mai said, Zhao Yun bowed his head slightly and shouted: "Xianyong!" In that case, please foolish brother! ”
The fighting lasted for most of the night, more than 30,000 Gongsun troops outside the city, more than 15,000 people were killed, more than 10,000 surrendered, only more than 8,000 remnants outside the city were defeated, under the leadership of Shan Jing and Gongsun Fan, fled westward in panic. went to Taihang Mountain to join Zhang Yan, Yi Jing Suiping!
At dawn, Yuan Shao took Feng Ji, Xu You, Fu Zhu, Chen Lin and other staff members into the city to calm the people, patrol the people, strictly prohibit the army from disturbing the people, and if there is any violation, military law will deal with it.
Hearing that Yuan Shao had entered Yijing, Yuan Mai immediately came to visit him and asked for a thick burial for Gongsun Zhan.
"Gongsun Chan has been against me for many years, and my father can't wait to crush his bones and scatter ashes. to relieve the hatred in my heart. How can you bury him? After listening to his son's words, Yuan Shao did not immediately agree, looked at Yuan Mai in confusion, and asked.
On the way to see Yuan Shao. Yuan Mai had already thought of the wording. Naturally, it cannot be said that this is a condition for Zhao Yun's surrender. He knows that Zhao Yun is a rare talent, but Yuan Shao knows who Zhao Yun is? If you want to convince Yuan Shao, you must use a little trickery.
"Father. Gongsun Chan is dead, even if you crush him to ashes, he doesn't know under Jiuquan. It is better to bury him alive, in this way, it can not only calm the hearts of the people of Yijing, but also let the people of the world know that his father is broad-minded and can tolerate what the world can't, and even the enemy can be buried thickly, what else can't be tolerated? When the news spreads, people with lofty ideals from all over the world will inevitably come to vote like a carp crossing the river, so why worry about the uncertainty of the world at that time? ”
After listening to Yuan Mai's words, Fu Zhu also stood up and agreed: "Lord, what the buyer said is extremely true, it is really far-sighted, the lord should bury Gongsun Zan thickly, it is the best policy!" ”
After listening to his son and Fu Zhu's singing and harmony, Yuan Shao thought for a moment and felt that it made sense.
Gongsun Chan is already a corpse, even if he is burned to ashes, he doesn't know, it is better to use this to establish a positive image of himself, even if he can't attract talents, it is also a good result to win a good reputation for himself!
"Xianyong's words are reasonable, this matter is according to what you said, and the matter of burying Gongsun Chan will be handed over to Gongsun Zhan to handle it!"
Frustrated and bowed down to receive the order: "Although the lord is relieved, the minister will definitely live up to the trust!" ”
After the people were settled, Yuan Shao also went to the city to reward the three armies. After besieging Yijing City for more than 20 days, the military spirit has been exhausted, and it is time to reward the governor to calm the army's heart. took Xu You, Feng Ji and others out of the city, leaving some people to follow Fu Zhu and hold a funeral for Gongsun Zhan.
"When I was in Langya a few days ago, thanks to Gongzi, if it weren't for Gongzi's generosity, he exchanged horses for the life of the child's frustration, I'm afraid that our father and son have said goodbye forever, and the grace of saving lives is unforgettable!" After Yuan Shao and the others left, he bowed to Yuan Mai and thanked Yuan Mai for saving his son's life.
Yuan Mai hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Gong and Mr. don't need to be polite, the punishment of the son by his brother is caused by Yuan Mai, and naturally it should be resolved by me." Frustrated Hu has the talent to govern the country in Anbang, and I have appointed him as the Taishou of Pingyang County, and finally I have not treated Ling Gongzi badly! ”
Fu Zhu already knew that Fu Hu was appointed as the Taishou of Pingyang County, which could be regarded as adding glory to the Fu family and shining the lintel. At this moment, I heard Yuan Mai mention it, and thanked him again: "Thank you Gongzi for your support, I know the ability of the dog, and I really can't bear the heavy responsibility." At most, you can make a county order! ”
"Huh...... Mr. Gong and Mr. are modest, so that Gongzi has great talents, and sooner or later he will make a difference! Yuan Maiwan smiled and praised Frustrated Hu insincerely.
To be honest, Yuan Mai already has a general understanding of Frustrated Hu's ability, this is a talent that can be used, but there is no outstanding advantage in him, in short, it can be said that he can do anything, but he is not good at anything.
Frustrated Hu can command the army, but the ability to lead the army is not as good as Tian Chou; can govern the country, but the political ability is far inferior to the lead; can make plans, but his intelligence is not as good as Zhuge Jin; On the whole, this frustrated hu is a mediocre talent, frustrated that he can only be a county commander is modest, Yuan Mai praised him for being a big compliment, according to his heart, frustrated hu is also the talent of a county guard.
The reason why Yuan Mai praised Frustration was completely to have a good relationship with Frustration. After Tian Feng and Ko Yi supported themselves, the most outstanding article and martial arts of the Yuan Group were frustrated with Zhang He, and the relationship between Zhang He and Yuan Mai is now like a fish in water, as long as Yuan Mai can receive the frustration under his command again, then the leaders of the Hebei Army will belong to Yuan Mai, so as to lay the most solid foundation for the world!
Listening to Yuan Mai's politeness, and he also attached great importance to his son Frustration, Frustrated was secretly happy in his heart, glad that his son had made the right choice and chose Yuan Tan instead.
This fourth son, who was unknown a year ago, is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and in just one year, he has made great achievements, and was played by Yuan Shao as "General Pingxi", supervising Hanoi and Pingyang two counties, and the future is limitless!
His son was praised by Yuan Mai, and in return, he also praised Yuan Mai. Finally, he suddenly remembered an important thing, and motioned to Yuan Mai with his eyes: "If it is convenient for the child, please move around with me?" ”
Yuan Mai understood, pointed to the city tower in front of him and said: "I have this intention, you and I can go up to the city tower, check the post-war situation in Yijing, and properly settle the people!" ”
"Childe first, please!" Seeing that Yuan Mai would understand, he was happy in his heart, and stretched out his hand to signal that Yuan Mai was first, and he was second.
Yuan Mai glanced back at Zhou Cang: "My husband and I climbed the city wall to see the disaster in Yijing, you hold the stairs, no one is allowed to go upstairs without my call!" ”
"No!" Zhou Cangxiong agreed, and guarded the steps of the city tower with a big knife in his hand, with the momentum of "one husband is closed".
It's late March, and the weather is getting warmer under the sun.
The weeds outside the city have sprouted green, clumps of them, adding a bit of vitality to the withered yellow field.
However, the city of Yijing looks like the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and there are houses that have been burned black by the fire everywhere, and ruins and broken walls can be seen everywhere. The frightened people closed their doors, apparently terrified of the war.
In the streets and alleys, the corpses of soldiers killed in battle lay horizontally, stumps and severed arms could be seen everywhere, and dried blood stains were clumpy, like a mottled and gloomy ink painting. The officers and soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield were in a hurry, busy disposing of corpses and sweeping the streets.
Located in the center of Yijing, the large-scale "Gongsun Mansion" has been burned to only a pile of rubble and ashes by the raging fire, there are hundreds of officers and soldiers are searching for Gongsun Zhan's body, hoping to find it and be buried in the future, I don't know if the corpse of a generation of famous generals can still be preserved in this sky-high fire, or has it been burned to nothing?
Facing the messy Yi Jing, how can this situation not make people sigh?
Fu Zhu took the lead in speaking: "I think that Gongsun Zhan was also famous back then, occupying Youzhou, invading Qingzhou in the east, and forming the 'White Horse Yicong' to kill the Xianbei and Huns, who were terrified, and they were also a generation of heroes, but in the end they were reduced to a pile of ashes, which is really emotional!" ”
"Becoming a king and defeating a thief, the truth of the ages!"
Yuan Mai let the spring breeze blow his hair, echoed with emotion, and turned his words to the point: "Mr. Gong and Mr. summoned me to the top of the city tower, I don't know what to teach?" ”
"Huh...... I can't talk about teaching, but I want to talk about something with my son. Frustrated with his hands behind his back, he let the cold spring breeze blow his clothes fluttering, and said softly.
"Listen up, sir!"
Frustrated eyes, he quickly glanced around the city, made sure that there was no one around, and then spoke: "Childe, have you ever thought that your opportunity has come?" ”
"What chance?" Yuan Mai was stunned, he was busy planning the siege of the city in the past few days, and he hadn't calmed down to think about other things, and he didn't know what this opportunity was referring to?
Fu Zhu smiled slightly, and said: "Qingzhou has the eldest son in charge, Jizhou is Shang Gongzi's territory, and the state is controlled by senior cadres, and the three of them each hold a state of land, and the buyer has a strategy, but there is no territory, if you want to compete with them, it is really difficult." And now, Youzhou is in hand, and your opportunity to buy a son has come......"
Listening to the frustrated words, Yuan Mai's eyes suddenly radiated light.
I have been so busy with the siege of the city these days that I forgot about it. Now that Yi Jing has fought down, seventy percent of the land in Youzhou is in the hands of the Yuan family, and this vast land is now borderless land, isn't this his chance?
Under his command are Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Zhuge Jin, Fu Hu, Sima Fu, Tian Yu, Wang Ling and other ministers, as well as Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Liyi, Gao Shun, Hao Zhao, Xu Sheng, Wang Shuang, Zhaozhao, Zhou Cang's generals, if you sit on the land of a state and recuperate, why worry about the hegemony?
