Chapter 196: The Battle of Yecheng
Yuan Shang calculated the soldiers and horses led by him and the reinforcements requisitioned from all over the country, and divided them into three parts, the first part was led by Lu Lingqi to rush into Cheng, fight with the rebels in the city, and strive to rescue the relatives in Yuan's mansion in the shortest possible time.
The second route, led by Wang Shuang, coordinated all the reinforcements outside the city to block the 11th route rebels led by rebellious officials from all over the city from entering the city.
The third route was led by himself, and there were not many soldiers and horses on this road, so he walked to the nearest west gate of Yecheng and went straight to the mansion where Yuan Tan was imprisoned.
Because Yuan Shangzhi said that although the main persons in charge of planning the rebellion this time were Cao Cao and Xin Ping, Cao Cao's army was in Liyang and his main force was opposite, and it was difficult to divide the excess troops to reinforce the battle of Yecheng, so he could only hand over everything to Xin Ping, and Xin Ping himself was not strong enough, and the rebel forces he used this time were basically all Yuan Tan's old team hidden in the past.
Guo Tu said that he would persuade Yuan Tan to surrender, but Yuan Shang was not too optimistic about him, not that he was not optimistic about Guo Tu's eloquence and ability, Guo Tu, as one of the masterminds of Hebei in the past, naturally had his uniqueness and superiority.
But Yuan Shangzhi said that Yuan Tan's heart and his hatred for himself, if he didn't go to the scene, he was afraid that Guo Tu's mouth alone might not be able to settle Yuan Tan.
After the plan was decided, Yuan Shang, Lu Lingqi, and Wang Shuang began to act separately, and Yuan Shang led his guards and a small number of people from the headquarters to run to the west gate of Ye City, trying to go to Yuan Tan's mansion.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the city, but the gate of the West City was tightly closed, Yuan Shang was worried. I don't know whose hands the city gate of the west city of Ludao is in the hands at the moment, and I was hesitating to use what identity to open the city gate, but I suddenly heard a rather arrogant and extremely conceited voice faintly coming from the sky above the city.
"The soldiers and horses under the city, but the strength of the eldest prince of Yuan Tan who came to reinforce it? I am Xin Bi, the brother of Xin Ping Xin, and I have been here to welcome you for a long time! ”
The Yuan army led by Yuan Shang was stunned when they heard this.
"Huh? Why don't you speak, are you here to reinforce Grand Prince Yuan Tan? It's not that I don't open the gates! There have been too many scammers these days. If you're not careful, it's easy to be fooled."
Yuan Shang came back to his senses, raised his hand and shook the whip fiercely, and said loudly: "Who said it wasn't?" Thankfully, we're not scammers. We are the descendants who received the summons of the eldest prince's blood letter, and we were ordered to come to help the eldest prince attack Yecheng tonight, and we will open the city gate as soon as possible. It's okay for me to wait in and help out! ”
The people in the city didn't answer, but just ordered someone to open the city gate with a grunt and let Yuan Shang and the others enter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses entered, they immediately showed their fierce original form, and his soldiers wielded swords and long ge, and flew to the head of the city, killing all these rebels who were in charge of the West City Gate, and capturing the thieves alive, regaining control of the West City Gate.
This person in charge of greeting the rebels at the West Gate was none other than him. It was the mastermind of this rebellion, Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Bi! He was ordered to sit at the west gate, open and close the gate for the rebels who came to Yecheng from all walks of life, and lead the way into the city, and the rebels who did not want to reinforce themselves had not yet arrived. However, it attracted Yuan Shang's personal reinforcements
I forgot to look at the yellow calendar when I went out.
Grizzled and dirty was escorted to Yuan Shang, Xin Bi had a deceived expression of resentment, looked up at Yuan Shang who was sitting on a horse and smiling at him, and two lines of tears slowly slipped down his cheeks unconsciously.
"Liar, you are really liars, in vain I believe you so much to open the door for you!"
Xin Bi whimpered in a voice that was obviously pathetic.
Yuan Shang patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "As the saying goes, soldiers don't get tired of cheating. If you want to blame, blame yourself for reporting your identity and purpose too early, remember well, people with cheap mouths generally don't end well! ”…,
After that, he turned his head and instructed the person behind him: "Since this person is Xin Ping's younger brother, his status is naturally special, come here, tie me up, take him as a hostage!" At the critical moment, it will be of great use! ”
"No——!"
Yecheng, the trial of the mansion.
At this moment, the trial mansion has been surrounded by soldiers and horses led by Xin Ping and the rebels, and the rebels are holding swords and ladders frantically attacking their mansions, and in the trial and matching mansion, a group of guards led by the trial and matching are occupying the commanding heights everywhere, desperately supporting the rebels' offensive with swords, guns, stones, and shields. Difficult to self-sustain.
Outside the mansion, Xin Ping's face turned blue and red as he watched his soldiers and horses being repelled by the guards in the palace again and again, and the muscles on his face continued to twitch!
According to Xin Ping's thoughts, his plan should be seamless, and if he is unprepared, he will be hit by his own momentum, which will be difficult to resist, and he should have been awarded the head in front of him!
Unexpectedly, his own side attacked the trial mansion at night, but he got strong desperate resistance from the other party.
Xin Ping is not an ordinary person, just looking at the other party's arrangement and troop preparedness, you can see that if the other party is not well guarded, it is beyond human imagination, that is, it has already prepared for today's battle!
The enemy has been prepared for a long time?
As soon as he thought of this, Xin Ping's body unconsciously trembled, and his face was also gloomy and terrifying!
What if you're prepared?
The fact that there are not enough troops in Yecheng is there, and it is the so-called ten meetings of one force! No matter how well you prepare, under such a tough offensive as mine, you will support for an extra hour, and there is no reason to be spared! How can I be afraid of you?
Thinking of this, he saw Xin Ping raise his hand and beckoned his subordinates to retreat temporarily, and then stepped forward, rushed to the door, let go of his voice and shouted.
"Matching! I know that you are inside, come out and answer with me~~! ”
For a while, it was still bloody. In front of the gate of the trial mansion with constant shouts and killings, it was suddenly quiet as if no one was there, as if a needle could be heard, only the echo of Xin Ping's mournful cry slowly shook in the sky of Yecheng, like a life-urging talisman, which could not be dispersed for a long time.
It wasn't until a long time later that I heard the voice of the trial slowly coming from the mansion. The voice is upright, impassioned and powerful.
"Traitor! So far, what else do I have to say to you? Have the ability to let the horse come. Even if you fight to the point where only one soldier remains, you will never let the foundation of Hebei be ruined in the hands of you! ”
Xin Ping sneered and said, "Matching." You are dedicated to Yuan Shang's little horseman, why bother? What medicine did he give you to be so faithful to him? It's just a shaft, is it worth following like this? Surrender, with your talent, if you come under Cao Sikong, the future will be limitless, why bother insisting on this? ”
"Haha~~~~!"
The judge's angry laughter faintly came out of the house: "You brute, you are also worthy of talking to me about the future, I will ask you." Over the years, the Yuan family has treated you at all, and everything you have now, which one was not given by the Yuan family? You pat your conscience and say, what are you against? Why are you opposed? If you can convince me. Judging directly drew his sword and killed himself in front of your Xin Ping! ”
Xin Ping had a calm face and said angrily: "The old lord is in Japan, how rich and powerful Hebei is!" I was treated favorably by the old lord, and I should have served the lord loyally, from the beginning to the end. How can Yuan Shang Xiaoer, not respect the king, do not respect the ancestors, since he ascended the throne, he has dismissed the heroes, forcibly promoted the lineage, was rigid and self-serving, rotten the national policy, attacked his brother, coerced the squires and the people, caused the four states of Hebei to fall apart, the people are miserable, and the land of the four states today has long ceased to be the peak of the year. Although I am sorry for the Yuan family, I am worthy of the orthodoxy of the Han family, the people of the world, and the foundation of these four states! Imagine the people who gave up Yuan Shang to save the four continents of Hebei, why not do it? ”…,
"You, you're a fart! Words are not chosen! "Although the judge is talented, how can the kung fu committee on his lips not be as good as Xin Ping, seeing this shameless Han family, all the people of Hebei have moved out, and almost died of a hiccup.
It's no wonder that although Xin Ping's Taoism is all dry goods that are not related to the wind and horses and cows, and the donkey's lips are not the same as the horse's mouth, how can the things he said occupy the righteousness, and the judge can't literally refute him anything, so he has to sulk in the yard.
Xin Ping had a lewd smile on the villain's power, and shouted at the trial in the mansion: "How is it? Matching, there's nothing to say, right? And still not fulfill your promise to come out and judge myself before me? Do you not believe in your words? ”
The judge gritted his teeth in anger, spat fiercely in the yard, and opened his mouth to scold: "Phew! Traitor, let me kill myself? I kill your ancestors! ”
"Hey! Isn't it messing around? You can't get out? ”
"Phew! Out of your ancestors! ”
Xin Ping frowned, and said angrily: "Okay, the surname is judged, you don't fulfill what you say, don't blame me for not remembering the friendship of colleagues!" ”
"Phew! I have a friendship with your ancestors! ”
"Good! The surname is judged, you cow! You see that if I don't smash your mansion today, and send you to kowtow to my ancestors, I won't be surnamed Xin! Attack! ”
"Kill!"
In Yecheng, the battles in various provinces and streets were in full swing, and Yuan Shang was not idle on this side, leading a group of guards to raid left and right, and finally came to Yuan Tan's mansion.
At this time, Yuan Tan's mansion was already controlled by Guo Tu, and he wanted to persuade Yuan Tan, but Yuan Tan was ready to burn the jade!
Yuan Tan prepared a pile of firewood and piled it up in his study, not listening to any of Guo Tu's bitter advice, only saying that if anyone dared to persecute him, he would light the fire and never be soft.
Guo Tu was ordered to persuade Yuan Tan to surrender, thinking that he was bound to win, but he never expected that Yuan Tan would be so strong that he would not be dissuaded by a word, and even commit suicide?
This frightened Guo Tu, he didn't dare to enter the door of Yuan Tan's study, but ordered someone to surround Yuan Tan's mansion, and he was anxiously rubbing his hands outside, waiting for his own soldiers and horses to come to reinforcements.
Until Yuan Shang arrived, Guo Tu still didn't step into Yuan Tan's study door for half a step, and gritted his teeth and stared anxiously.
"Lord!" Seeing Yuan Shang in person, Guo Tu hurriedly leaned over and fell to the ground, bowing to Yuan Shang, snot and crying with tears: "Lord! Guo Tu is incompetent, he can't persuade Yuan Tan to turn back, he has a serious crime, and he hopes that the lord will punish him! ”
Yuan Shang didn't care, and helped Guo Tu up with a smile and said: "What did Mr. Gongze say, if there is no you as the internal response this time, I am afraid that Yecheng has already been captured by Cao Cao and Xin Ping's plot, and you saved the whole of Hebei, I thank you too late, how can I blame you?" In the past, I snubbed you, and from now on, you Guo Tu will be my Yuan Shang's confidant and mastermind, and our master will be the two of them in the same stream, embarrassed and treacherous, and join hands to bring disaster to the world together."
"Ah——?h Guo Tu was shocked when he heard this, obviously frightened by Yuan Shang's words.
"Ahem, ahem, I mean, our master and slave share the blessings and hardships, and save the world together!" Yuan Shang looked embarrassed and hurriedly changed his words to correct it.
Guo Tu stroked his chest, sighed and said: "Guo swears to follow the princess to the death, what you just said scared me to death, there is no spectrum, I thought I followed a beast, next time I won't bring such a conditioner~~~!" It's so annoying~~~~! ”
Yuan Shang: ""
Between the two, there was silence for a while, and suddenly Yuan Shangchang sighed, got up and pointed to Yuan Tan's mansion and said, "What's the situation inside now?" ”
Guo Tu looked embarrassed, and then he led his cronies to control Yuan Tan's mansion, and how Yuan Tan arranged firewood in the study, and he persuaded Yuan Tan to be driven out by him without a few words, and threatened himself, so that he couldn't advance or retreat now, so he could only guard the place and be in a dry hurry.
Yuan Shang's face gradually became gloomy, and said: "In other words, the study where Yuan Tan is staying now is already full of fire-starters, and he is still dancing with torches, and we are not allowed to step into half a step, otherwise he will?" ”
Guo Tu's face was heavy, and he nodded helplessly: "Yes!" ”
"Mr. Guo, the smart man was confused for a while, he thought, let's let our subordinates prepare some water to wait, he has a little fire, can we put it out at any time?"
Guo Tu shook his head and sighed: "Yuan Tan's preparation this time is very secretive, not only blocked all the water sources in the mansion in advance, but also smashed the pots and pots and other water-absorbing things, this entire mansion, let alone a basin, can't even find a night pot, how can you extinguish the fire in a hurry?" ”
Yuan Shang gasped: "You are so fierce to yourself? Big brother's trick is too amazing! ”
Guo Tu glanced at Yuan Shang sadly, and said, "Lord, what should we do now?" The battle in Yecheng is urgent, and time waits for no one. ”
Yuan Shang thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had an understanding, and suddenly turned his head and asked Guo Tu.
"Mr. Guo, do you have urine now?" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
