Chapter 257: Liu Yao's End
"Big brother, the king has already called, and the Huns are about to end. According to the news from the brothers, Liu Cong, the son of the Great Khan of the Xiongnu, had been captured by the Jin army. Even Xihe Liu Yao was also beaten by the Jin army, and now he was forced by the Jin army to hide in the stone city and did not dare to move. A young Han man dressed in a Xiongnu costume was talking excitedly.
"Well, Master Wang is finally here, and it is not in vain that the brothers have endured humiliation for so many years. MD, if it weren't for the sake of fighting for the villagers to survive, Lao Tzu would not be willing to work for the Huns! A bearded man said angrily.
This Han general's name is Guo Chao, who is a native of Bingzhou, and when the Huns ravaged and merged the state, he had to entrust all to serve under the Huns in order to protect his family from harm. Over the years, although he has more than 5,000 Han troops in his hands, he has never been valued by the Huns, if it were not for Liu Yuan's intention to win over the Han people, Guo Chao's situation would have been even more unbearable.
This situation lasted until the outbreak of the Great War in the North, especially after the destruction of Liu Cong, and the Huns had to rely on some Han soldiers in order to alleviate the lack of troops. When Liu Yao withdrew to Lishi, he immediately armed the Han people in the city and asked the other party to help him defend the city.
In order to prevent the other party from backlashing, Liu Yao had no choice but to let the families of these soldiers be taken care of. Someone once dissuaded Liu Yao from doing this, but Liu Yao told his subordinates seriously: "The Han emperor just didn't allow us to abuse the Han people, and didn't say that we wouldn't be allowed to recruit the other party into the army. ”
"Big brother. Is there a reply from the Jin army? Now there are only 20,000 Huns in the city, and the Jin army outside the city has more than 30,000 or nearly 40,000 people, and their artillery fire is so fierce, if they want to attack the city, plus we are the internal response, the Huns in the city can not resist at all. A young man asked Guo Chao anxiously, this person is called Guo Yunnai, his brother, and he is also the rising star of the Guo family.
"Rest assured, Lord Gou Xi personally made a promise, as long as we assist the other party to take down Lishi and catch Liu Yao. He agreed that we would join the Jin army. And he is willing to recommend us to study in the Chang'an Army Officer Academy. Everyone should have heard of this school, all the officers in the Great Jin Xiang Army were born there, since Lord Gou Xi is willing to recommend us and others, it shows that the other party is full of sincerity. Guo Chao said with a smile on the corner of his mouth. It can be seen that he is very satisfied with the conditions given by the Jin army.
"Big brother. Are you sure? It's just great! Several young people were also excited when they heard the news.
"Huh. Don't be too happy, the most important thing at the moment is how to help the Jin army outside the city take Lishi City. What advice do you have for this? Let's talk about it all. ”
"Big brother, it's better for me to sneak to the south gate early tomorrow morning, and then approach the city gate in the name of rewarding the defenders, take the city gate while the other party is full of wine and food, and let the Jin army enter the city. And the elder brother led 3,000 elites to attack Liu Cong's base camp, and took the opportunity to create chaos, as long as there was chaos in the city, the strength of the Jin army was definitely not something that the Huns could resist. ”
"Well, okay, that's fine. Recently, those Huns have not had a good life, we send a batch of wine and meat over, and the other party will definitely not take precautions! I also told the brothers not to worry about their families, the current Huns have long been frightened, and they will never dare to tie our family, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor will never let them go. ”
Sure enough, the army was defeated, and more and more people began to abandon the Hu people and prepare to choose another way. On the second day, before dawn, a group of more than a dozen people, carrying a flat shoulder, and the basket wafted out bursts of meat fragrance, and Guo Yun took the lead to the south city gate.
As soon as they approached the city gate, they were stopped by the patrolling Huns.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here? Don't you know that no one is allowed to approach the city gate without a major general's general? A Hun general stepped forward and scolded.
Guo Yun smiled, gave people a sense of cordiality, and stepped forward.
"The younger one is Guo Yun, the captain of the Han camp, Guo Chao's younger brother, doesn't this brother know him? My brother once drank with the general! ”
The leading Huns took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Guo Yun himself, and hurriedly changed his tone and said: "Sure enough, it's General Guo Xiao, I don't know what Your Excellency is going out so early, what's the matter?" ”
At present, the Hu people are in decline, and some flexible Hu generals do not dare to bully the Han people as before, but sometimes need to win over some Han people, and once there is an accident in the future, someone can say a good word for themselves. The Hun general in front of him has such a thought, otherwise he would have greeted him with a knife if he had changed to before, and he would have wasted so many tongues here.
Guo Yun naturally knew it, he smiled, and his eyes suddenly narrowed into a straight line.
"Brothers, in the past few days, everyone has been busy with the war, it is too hard, yesterday my brother specially asked a certain to buy some wine and meat, ready to treat everyone today. I don't dare to do it before you change the guard, my brother asked me to quickly bring these wine and meat, and everyone in the province missed it. General, everyone has worked hard all night, so call everyone over and enjoy it. ”
Recently, the Huns have been working too hard, and they have to endure the fierce artillery attacks of the Jin army every day, and they can no longer bully the Han people for fun. Suddenly smelling the smell of wine and meat, I really couldn't hold it anymore, and a group of people called out one after another.
"Thank you, General Guo."
Guo Yun saw that the Huns were scheming, and hurriedly asked his entourage to put down the flat basket on his shoulders, but he took out a plate of wine and meat to eat and distributed it to everyone. After eating and drinking, after the three rounds, the Huns all began to be a little dizzy, boasting about how brave they were and how many Jin soldiers they killed.
Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, Guo Yun shouted, "Do it." More than a dozen people quickly pulled out the weapons in the basket to kill the Huns, the Huns were drunk and the Huns soldiers could not resist at all, and died unconsciously and unconsciously, after cleaning up the scene, Guo Yun quietly opened the city gate, and at the same time sent a subordinate to report the news.
On April 21, early in the morning, outside the south gate of Shicheng, a kilometer away from the city wall, Gou Xi, the commander of the left side of the Jin army, was anxiously waiting for news from inside the city. A total of two hundred and sixty guns were lined up in two rows at the back of the entire camp, waiting for the order to open fire. In addition, there are also four-compartment cavalry troops ready to intercept and flee the enemy, and the 20,000 Jin army infantry has already moved to a place less than five hundred meters away from the gift box city, ready to attack the city at any time.
When the sky was bright, a sturdy figure left the stone city gate and quickly ran towards the Jin army camp outside the city. Soon the Jin army outside the city received the news that the city gates had been opened.
"My lord, the whole army is ready, can you attack?" The army came to ask for instructions.
"Let's attack!" Gou Xi looked up at the sky.
"Yes, sir!" After joining the army and saluting. Immediately the order was given to start the offensive.
"Boom!" A cannonball landed accurately on the walls of Lishi City. Subsequently, the final commissioning of all artillery guns began according to this coordinates. It didn't take long for more than 200 artillery pieces of all kinds to start a fierce bombardment, and the entire Lishi City was completely filled with gunsmoke. The strange thing is that as soon as the Jin army began to shell, the Hun soldiers on the city wall withdrew one after another. It seems that the artillery of the Jin army brought a lot of psychological damage to the Huns.
Meanwhile. Inside West River City. A troop of 3,000 men was rushing towards Liu Cong's residence, all of them with their left arms exposed, which was a sign of an appointment with the Jin army. Anyone who meets such a person. The Jin army will not take the initiative to attack. Guo Chao was very nervous, and his palms were full of sweat, but in order to catch Liu Yao, he could only let go.
Liu Yao, who had already received the news that the Jin army had begun to attack the city, was hurriedly commanding his subordinates to resist, and he never expected that someone would raid his residence.
"Quick, tell those soldiers that if they want to survive, they must block the attack of the Han people, otherwise, once the Jin army enters the city, everyone will not want to have a good life."
At this moment, "Boom! A thunderous sound came from afar, and then, the cavalry of the brigade appeared in the eyes of these Liu Yao.
"Ahh Isn't this the Han cavalry? If they don't resist the enemy's attack, what are they doing here? The guards in Liu Yao's mansion suddenly saw a large number of cavalry coming straight towards them, and they immediately panicked because they couldn't understand the purpose of the other party.
"What's the panic, they are also the army of the Han Kingdom, what's so scary?! Go! Let Guo Chao come to see General Ben! Liu Yao looked at the Han soldiers who surrounded him, and was furious and scolded fiercely. Soon, the cavalry approached, and there were thousands of people in the dark.
"Who are you? Want to rebel? Don't you know that this is the mansion of Major General Liu Yao? One of the guards stepped forward and asked.
"MD, what about Guo Chao? Hurry up and get here, where's your general? I haven't seen this official yet! Liu Yao, who couldn't bear it for a long time, couldn't help but reprimand.
"The lowly Guo Chao has seen the young general!" Guo Chao, who had already taken refuge in the Great Jin Dynasty, came to Liu Yao without changing his face.
"General Guo, what are you doing here?! I, the Xiongnu and the Han Kingdom, have not treated you badly, do you want to betray us? Don't forget, your family is still in the hands of the Huns, and Ben will advise you to get lost as soon as possible, and Ben will be able to assure you that as long as you lay down your arms, Ben will not be guilty of the past! "When it comes to this person, if Liu Yao still can't see the other party's purpose, then it is impossible for him to be dominant in history.
"Haha! At this point, you're still making a lot of nonsense! Lao Tzu is a Han man who has already joined the Jin army, who will follow you Hu people all the way to the black. Today, Lao Tzu might as well tell you that we have opened the city gate long ago, and the Jin army may have entered the city at this time, do you think you still have a chance to live? Guo Chao laughed.
"What? You guys, you've joined the Jin Army! Liu Yao was shocked.
"Haha! I am worried that I didn't have a meeting gift to see Jin Jun, and I took your head, which happened to be a gift! Guo Chao laughed loudly, and with a bang, the saber was already in his hand.
"Bold! This general is the prince of the Han Kingdom, you dare to kill this palace? Liu Yao scolded with a pale face.
"Fuck you Hun dog thief, Lao Tzu killed you!"
A Han man dressed in Xiongnu costume laughed loudly while waving the snowy horizontal knife in his hand and slashed down, only to see a head with angry eyes rising to the sky, and a stream of blood spurted out of his neck and splashed on the ground around him.
With a "bang", the head fell to the ground, covered with mud and sand. The two eyes, which had lost their lustre, widened as if they couldn't believe what was happening.
There was silence all around, and Liu Yuan's son, the commander of the Han State with an army of nearly 100,000, was killed like this! All the Huns looked at all this in a daze, and they didn't dare to take a breath. (To be continued......)
