Chapter 456: Lifting the city and descending

The news of Yuan Shu's escape soon spread all over Shouchun City, Chen Ji and others were no longer afraid, and immediately opened the city to surrender to Liu Ze, last night Zhang Xun went out to fight and took away 30,000 soldiers and horses, Yuan Shu fled and took away 20,000 Imperial Forest Army, and there were only more than 10,000 troops left in Shouchun City, but the ministers and officials were all in the city, and they all went out of the city to surrender to Liu Ze, which was also spectacular.

Liu Ze personally led the troops into the city to accept the surrender, Chen Ji, Zhang Jiong, Li Feng, Liang Gangle, Han Yin, Lu Mian and other generals handed over the surrender book at the gate of the city, more than 10,000 troops and more than 5,000 officials in Shouchun City, and more than 50,000 residents surrendered, but the Shouchun Mansion Treasury was already empty. The first thing Liu Ze did after entering the city was to provide relief to the refugees, take out food to appease the people, and send troops to take over the defense of Shouchun City.

In addition to Yuan Shuqiaorui, who has fled, most of the civil and military officials of the Great Chen Dynasty are still in the city, but it is impossible to stay in office, these officials are the three dukes and nine kings appointed by Yuan Shu, if you talk about rank, it is higher than Liu Ze, the reverse Chen Dynasty has fallen, these official positions are naturally no longer counted, Liu Ze ordered all officials to be cut and waited, and then appointed.

These ministers and officials have long been panicked and unable to stand on their own, the Great Chen State is over, if Liu Ze really wants to investigate their crime of rebellion, none of these three princes and nine ministers will be able to escape, fortunately, Liu Ze did not punish them, but only abolished all the lords of the Chen Dynasty, and did not pursue them for the crime of relying on Yuan Shu. Although they were all pushed to the end, these ministers and doctors were all relaxed. At the very least, they can draw a line with Yuan Shu, and they don't have to be punished by Yuan Shu anymore.

Among the original ministers, most of them went out of the city and surrendered, and a few such as Han Xian and Yang Feng were nowhere to be found, and only Yan Xiang was closed.

All the generals were angry, this Yan elephant was too ignorant of lifting, and wanted to capture and kill him.

Liu Ze shouted: "When Yuan Shu was called the emperor, everyone was vassal, but Yan Xiang Chen gave a strong admonition, how could such an upright person harm his life!" So Liu Ze personally came to visit. Yan Xiang felt his sincerity. It is a descent.

Liu Ze copied the laws of Xuzhou in Huainan and implemented military management, and the situation in Huainan gradually stabilized. Although Huainan has some big families, it is also tossed by Yuan Shu. Their ban on weapons and the criminal code and the imperial examination of Liu Ze were difficult for them to accept. But this is a world where the law of the jungle eats the strong. The rules of the game have always been made by the strong, and if the major scholars do not follow the rules, only the fate of destruction awaits them. Yuan Shu has been wiped out. Naturally, these wealthy families did not have the confidence and strength to fight Liu Ze to the end, so they could only choose to submit.

However, to the peace of mind of the scholars, although Liu Ze entered Huainan as an occupying army, he did not commit any offense against the people, which was completely different from the plundering of the other princes after they conquered the city, and if the major scholars obeyed the law, their property and lives could be guaranteed. Those who know the times are Junjie, these scholars are not fools, and they are not strong enough to fight against Liu Ze, the great warlord who straddles Xu and Yang, so the implementation of the new policy in Huainan has not encountered much resistance.

After Yuan Shu escaped from Huaishui, he checked the soldiers and horses, and there were only three or four thousand people, and after the battle of the Imperial Forest Army brought out by Shouchun, he actually lost seven or eight percent, and Yang Hong was also broken, and he was very sad.

Qiao Rui comforted: "Your Majesty, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's go quickly." ”

Yuan Shu also knew the speed of Liu Ze's archers, and if they were to chase them across the river, he might be able to try to get away with it, so Yuan Shu ordered all the fishing boats that were used as ferries to be burned to prevent them from being used by the Xuzhou army again. Seeing that the fishing boats were engulfed in flames, Yuan Shu ignored the wailing and crying of the owners of the fishing boats, and ordered the remnants of the remaining horses to pack up and go on the road immediately.

This to Qingzhou, the nearest road is to go to Xuzhou, from Langya to Linzi, but if you want to go to Xuzhou, it is Liu Ze's territory, Yuan Shu really wants to take this road, it is equivalent to throwing himself into the net, so in Yang Hong's planning, it is to go through Runan, Liangguo to Taishan to Qingzhou This road, although compared to the first road, it is a long way to detour, but it can avoid Liu Ze's control area, which is relatively safer.

But Runan's Yellow Turban Liu Bigong is rampant, Runan has always been the nest of the Yellow Turban, since the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Riot in Runan has almost never stopped, after the Yellow Turban in various places has been cut off, Liu Pigong of Runan is still holding high the banner of the Yellow Turban, echoing with Zhang Yan of Hebei, and the momentum is unabated. Cao Cao has always started with the extermination of the Yellow Turban, and the blow to the Yellow Turban in Runan has almost never stopped, with Cai Yang as the Taishou of Runan, the garrison on Cai, and many times to suppress Liu Pi Gongdu, but Cao Cao's main force has been fighting on the outside line, and Cai Yang's army alone is not enough to suppress Liu Pi Gongdu, so the Yellow Turban forces in Runan are tenaciously existing in the cracks of the major princes.

Yuan Shu also marched into Runan and Chen in his heyday, Liu Pi and Gong were very slippery, as soon as they saw the army coming, they immediately abandoned the city and fled, hid in the deep mountains and old forests to play guerrilla warfare, the enemy advanced and I retreated, the enemy retreated and I advanced, and then attacked the city and plundered the land after the army was gone. Yuan Shu didn't pay attention to these little shrimps at that time, and since he couldn't fight it, he simply ignored it. Later, after Yuan Shu was defeated in the battle between Chen and Cao Cao, he could only retreat to Huainan and could no longer get his hands on Runan. Liu Pigong was in the wind again, and then attacked the city and plundered the county.

This time, Yuan Shu came to Runan again, but he didn't have the scenery of the last time, like a lost dog, how could he dare to provoke these Yellow Turban Overlords again, he could only take a detour and have as little contact with the Yellow Turban Army as possible.

But I don't offend people, people may not offend me, Yuan Shu didn't dare to find trouble with the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Pigong was a little unrelenting, although it was completely impossible to eat Yuan Shu's three or four thousand regular troops with tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rabble, but the means of harassing and sneaking attacks still made Yuan Shu suffer a lot, along the way, the people and horses suffered a lot, and the baggage was also robbed a lot, which made Yuan Shu sigh and sigh What is called a dragon sleepy shallow pool, what is a tiger falling in Pingyang.

The harassment of the Yellow Turban Army made Yuan Jun miserable, sleeping in the open all the way, lack of food and grass, and made many sergeants have the idea of escaping.

Many of the soldiers were so exhausted that they could not walk, so they simply sat down on the ground and rested.

Qiao Rui was furious, strode forward, waved his whip and whipped over, beating and scolding, and was furious.

Yuan Shu saw it in the car, waved his hand weakly, and said: "Qiao Aiqing, forget it, I've been on the road for days, and the soldiers are tired, let them rest and rest before leaving." ”

The scorching sun in May is like fire, people can be roasted under the sun, Qiao Rui shook his head helplessly, and said to Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty, this place is not suitable for a long time, the yellow thieves keep disturbing, Liu Ze's pursuers are behind, and after Runan, it is not far from Qingzhou, and it is not too late to rest." ”

Yuan Shu lamented gloomily: "I think I, Yuan Shu, am also a hero, and I have fallen to such a point, sad!" Whew! ”

While he was talking, he saw the person in front of him shouting Ma Ming, a biao people and horses came in a mighty way, a handsome apricot yellow flag with a capital "Guan" word, a general under it, burly, face like a heavy jujube, silkworm eyebrows lying down, phoenix eyes slightly open, the green dragon Yanyue knife in the palm, the red rabbit under the crotch, who is not Guan Yu?

Guan Yu rushed to the front, grabbed the reins, looked at Yuan Shu from afar, stroked his hair and sneered: "Yuan Shu is a traitor, Guan has been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

It turned out that after Yuan Shu fled to the north, Guan Hai immediately asked Liu Ze whether to send troops to pursue him. If you want to cross the Huai River, you can't do it without a boat, the ferries were burned by Yuan Shu, and it is obviously too late to raise a large number of ferries for a while, even if you send the boat bridge troops over and want to build a pontoon bridge, it is impossible to complete it in a short time, so Liu Ze ordered Guan Hai not to pursue.

Yuan Shu went north to Yuan Shao, recently went to Qingzhou, and wanted to go to Qingzhou is nothing more than two roads, one to Xuzhou and the other to Runan, Yuan Shu is impossible to go to Xuzhou to kill himself anyway, so he will definitely choose to take the road of Runan. No matter how fast Yuan Shu runs, can he outrun the carrier pigeons? Liu Ze immediately sent a message to Guan Yufeige, who was in Xiapi, asking him to lead his troops to Runan to intercept Yuan Shu.

After Guan Yu received the letter, he immediately led the three thousand light cavalry of the Second Cavalry Division to Runan, and set up an ambush in Chengfu County, the only way for Yuan Shu to go north, and waited for a few days, only to find that Yuan Shu's men and horses rushed over, and Guan Yu naturally ambushed his troops and intercepted Yuan Shu's way.

As soon as Yuan Shu saw that Guan Yu had been killed, the three souls immediately lost two souls, and his eyes were so frightened that he was at a loss.

Qiao Rui immediately turned over and got on his horse, ordered the soldiers who were resting on the ground to get up to meet the enemy, jumped on his horse and speared, blocked in front of Yuan Shu's car, and shouted: "Emperor Da Chen is here, and the enemy general is rampant!" ”

Guan Yuling laughed and said: "Yuan Shu is a traitor, he is so down-and-out, he can still put on such a big score!" Rebels against the country and traitors will be punished by everyone, and today is the day you will die! ”

Qiao Rui was furious, and took Guan Yu directly with a gun, Guan Yu just glanced at him contemptuously, and urged the red rabbit horse, the red rabbit horse was like a dragon in the clouds, an arrow from the string, galloping, Qiao Rui only felt that there was a gust of wind in front of him, Guan Yu had rushed to the front, and couldn't help but be shocked, before he could react, Guan Yu raised the knife and fell, and he had been cut under the horse.

Guan Yu immediately crossed the knife, forced his eyes at Yuan Shu, and shouted: "Yuan Shu! Don't get out of the car and get dropped! (To be continued......)
