As Gao Yuan entered Xiapi City, Yuan Xi was captured, and the power of the Yuan family could be said to have been annihilated.

Gao Yuan was angry at what the Yuan clan had done to the people and wanted to kill Yuan Xi.

The military advisers persuaded for a while, claiming that with Yuan Xi here, the states of the Central Plains could go down without a fight.

In order to survive, Yuan Xi also volunteered.

However, Gao Yuan had other ideas, so he said to the military advisor: "The Yuan clan has been destroyed, and the puppet dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty has no leader, if you say that you are persuaded to surrender, those who want to surrender will surrender without Yuan Xi, and those who do not want to surrender will not surrender if Yuan Xi does not surrender." He pointed at Yuan Xi again and said: "It seems that such a cannibal thief, if you don't kill him, how can you deter the world from being small." Not only to kill, but also to kill! ”

All the military advisors felt that what Gao Yuan said made sense, if anyone surrendered, it would be the same with Yuan Xi or not.

So, Gao Yuan used the memories of later generations to make a whole ten tortures in the Eastern Han Dynasty, all of which were used by Yuan Xi, and finally the corpse was placed on a small cart, lit a sky lantern, and spread to all directions. The world was shocked, and for a while, the fourth and third princes were spurned by the world, becoming the most brutal and unscrupulous family in history.

Gao Yuan did not stop the military operation, and the next day, he first sent envoys to take the lead and persuade the counties of Gunzhou and Yuzhou to surrender. The troops were divided into two routes, Gao Yuan led the generals to lead 100,000 troops into Gunzhou, and ordered Zhang Liao to lead Yu Ban, Li Dian, and Le Jin to lead 100,000 troops to Hefei. He also left Xu Shu, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong to rectify Xu Shu, and then slowly advanced to pacify the counties.

It is said that Han Hao, Liang Xi, and Dong Zhao, who led troops out from Gunzhou and were about to enter Xuzhou, surrendered as soon as they knew that Yuan Xi was killed. Gao Yuan gathered and surrendered his troops, and the 150,000 troops marched into the area of Wanghu Prison and Guandu.

And Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Cen Bi who came out of Xuchang, Song Xian and Wei Xu did not dare to surrender, and rushed back to Xuchang with 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Suizhou. Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Cui Yan, Wang Xiu, Jiang Gan, and Jiao Touch, who escaped from Xiapi City, fled to Xuchang.

Xuchang, the palace, in a large hall, there was a quarrel.

"Guo Tu, if you want to be the emperor, there is no door!" Xin Ping jumped to his feet and scolded.

in this great hall. Only Xin Ping and Guo Tu, when the news of Yuan Xi's death came, Guo Tu said that the country could not be without a king for a day, and the highest qualification was himself, so he wanted to be the emperor. This is a very tempting thing to be an emperor, even in a dilapidated country, there are too many people to fight and rob. But eligible. Not much.

Although the Great Zhou established by Yuan Shao was on the verge of extinction, Guo Tu could not resist the temptation to become emperor.

However, Xin Ping also wanted to be emperor.

"Why are you emperor?"

"Why are you?"

After Yuan Xi's death, too many people ran out of ideas and relied on Guo Tu and Xin Ping to get ideas, so both of them had military power.

I don't know when. The two men fought. Although he is a literati, he is also ruthless. Hit each other's noses and swollen faces. In the end, they all fell to the ground, panting and unable to move.

However, after a beating, it was opened. Guo Tu found that if Xin Ping stopped him, he would not be able to be the emperor. If the fight continues, the last resistance will be exhausted.

As a result, Guo Tu put forward another proposition, no one should be the emperor, and a puppet emperor should be supported. Finally, he said: "You and me, let's talk about it after repelling Gao Mengyan." ”

Xin Ping felt that the best way now is like this.

So the two discussed.

A quarter of an hour later, the palace Deyang Palace, that is, the main hall of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in Xuchang. Because it is a serious 800 Han Dynasty hall, it has all five organs, very large, with thousands of square meters.

At this time, the city of Xuchang was like a city under the white terror in later generations, shrouded in an indescribable atmosphere. The Yuan army was in a panic all day long, and the people were lifeless on the surface, but secretly happy, waiting for Gao Yuan to come over.

In the main hall, there are only Song Xian, Wei Xu, Cen Bi, Cui Yan, Wang Xiu, Jiang Gan, Jiao Touch, and more than a dozen eunuchs who have been left here.

The eunuchs trembled, but their hearts were rare.

"There is even a Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"There is such a dynasty!"

An old eunuch said, "I once escaped from Chang'an with the Emperor of Han, and at that time, there was no such Great Zhou Dynasty. The emperor is gone, the bloodline of the succession cannot be found, and I don't know who will be the emperor in the end. ”

A little eunuch said, "Maybe it will be disbanded." ”

The old eunuch hurriedly waved his hand, looking like you were inexperienced, and said, "If you don't understand, someone will definitely be the emperor." ”

The eunuchs were whispering here, and Jiang Gan and the others were anxious. The few of them who are still here have their own thoughts. There are those who are afraid of being killed by Gao Yuan, such as Wei Xu and Song Xian. or there is still Yuan's good in his heart, such as Wang Xiu and Cui Yan. Or at a loss, such as Cen Bi and Jiao Touch. or those who are lucky and gamble, such as Xin Ping and Guo Tu. The rest is the one who has a ghost idea in his heart, that is, Jiang Gan.

I saw Jiang Gan's eyes roll, and he said anxiously: "Oh, I don't know if Guo Tu and Xin Ping have discussed it, who will be the emperor?" ”

Cen Bi and Jiao Touch thought that it must not be themselves.

Cui Yan and Wang Xiu stomped their feet vigorously, sighed Yuan, and didn't think about being the emperor themselves.

And Song Xian said: "I think it's Master Guo Tu." ”

Wei Xu said: "Master Xin Ping may succeed to the throne. ”

The eunuchs on the side trembled, and the old eunuch said: "I have served three generations of Han Dynasty emperors, and I have never seen such a succession." ”

The little eunuchs are also heartbroken, and they say that today can be regarded as an eye-opener, the emperor's family is gone, and the minister comes to succeed to the throne, which is really rare for eternity.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked behind them, and saw Xin Ping and Guo Tu walking out together.

Jiang Gan and the others were startled when they saw it.

Jiang Gan said, "Oh, two adults, why is your face swollen?" After saying that, I was secretly happy in my heart, this must be a battle for position. He thought about it again, and said in his heart that when others compete for the position, they all send generals and soldiers to fight, and these two are good, and they will do it in person face to face.

Wang Xiu said anxiously: "Two adults, come up with an idea, choose one to inherit the will of the Yuan family, we here, together with Luoyang, and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, must avenge the Yuan family!" ”

Guo Tu and Xin Ping glanced at each other, and Xin commented: "We already have a candidate to succeed us." ”

Guo Tu said: "Everyone must do their best to assist him, support our Great Zhou Dynasty, defeat Gao Mengyan, and avenge the Yuan family!" ”

Song Xian and Wei Xu were worried about their future, they became impatient, and said that there is another candidate, it must be one of you, pretending to be anything, and doing their best to assist, you just hurry up and say who it is.

Cui Yan hurriedly said, "Who is that?" ”

Guo Tu and Xin Ping groaned for a while, and when everyone was looking at it, the two of them said: "It's just Jiao Touch!" ”

Wei Xu and Song Xian were shocked, and said in their hearts, could we have thought wrong? Xin Ping and Guo Tu have such good intentions.

Cui Yan and Wang Xiu just wanted to have an object of allegiance, so they immediately became respectful to the Jiao Touch beside them.

Jiao Touch thought it was either Guo Tu or Xin Ping, but when he heard his name, he was thundered at that time. I trembled with excitement, my mouth and eyes were crooked, and my saliva and nose were all dripping. My heart said that I could even be an emperor. He looked at Guo Tu and Xin Ping with sure eyes, and at this time, Xin Ping and the others bowed: "Long live my emperor, please lead us to defeat Gao Mengyan and avenge the Yuan family!" ”

Jiao touched his nose and spit, and then he knew that it was true, and his heart said that I really became the emperor. Excited and unable to control himself, he shed tears, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Mother, my son is the emperor, you are the queen mother." Vomit~! ”

only heard a loud sound, and the fifth emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty fainted with excitement at that time. (To be continued......)
