Chapter 181: The Mandate of Heaven is in Han (2)
"God, I don't accept it!"
Relying on the decision to kill, Liu Bao is constantly breaking through the limit of life, but the price paid is also very much, at this time, the big defeat, the depression and resentment that have accumulated for more than ten years, like the tide of opening the floodgates, poured out in the poignant cry.
This is not Liu Bao's depression, but the depression of the Huns, seeing that the Central Plains is about to decline, there are heroes born.
After Qin, there was Han, the two Han continued, and finally the Huns were almost extinct, and then there was Wei, the Three Kingdoms so far, the Yan and Han Dynasty have risen again, and this time, the Huns are really going to perish!
Several relatives looked at each other, but at this time, they did not persuade, Liu Bao cried for a moment, and suddenly saw the performance of these people, and his heart was cold.
What a character he was, he immediately felt the danger keenly, among these people, there were Huns, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qiang, and more Han.
It's just that Liu Bao has the righteousness of the Jin Dynasty, so that these people can obey the order, but now that the Han Dynasty is here, they still don't recognize the Jin Dynasty, which is not necessarily.
Liu Bao said immediately: "Everyone is tired, I am also very tired, I remember that there is a village house in front of us, and we will camp when we arrive." ”
But I didn't want to run back to the city overnight, and Taiyuan County didn't know what the situation was at this time.
At this time, the people around them responded and moved forward together.
Although the army was in front of him, Liu Bao lay down on his horse, looking at the generals and soldiers behind him from time to time, and the anger in his heart was mixed with a trace of fear.
Liu Bao knew in his heart that he could hold the big position, relying on the decision to kill and accumulate prestige, rarely had real grace at all, and was not a Xiongnu Shan Yu, and there was no real loyal guard, and now he was defeated, and there was the advance of the Han army, I was afraid that all the generals would think about it.
But now, you can't just find a reason to kill people like before.
At this time, the army's heart was already in turmoil, and then they were forced to fight each other with swords like this, they had to mutiny, and the cold light rain kept hitting their faces, but they didn't realize it at all, their faces were gloomy, and their hearts were both uneasy and fearful.
It was quiet inside and out, but the blood and corpses made this night look particularly cold and bleak.
It was only after rectification that he entered Taiyuan County, and as soon as he entered, he killed some people and maintained the crumbling situation.
The city was dark, and only a few houses had lights.
The Han army camp outside the city was full of firelight, and the sky was red.
In contrast, the difference is even more obvious.
Liu Bao stood on the city, looking at all this, his heart was desolate.
A few days ago, after the Han army burned the pass with thunder fire, the Han army did not advance on the first day, and only set out on the second day, but it attacked the surrounding area first, and only surrounded the county town today.
It is said that the Han army also collected and buried all the corpses that were burned, and won countless praises, praising this is what the heavenly army did, which made Liu Bao's heart even more sad, burning so many people, just one burial, it has the name of benevolence and righteousness?
Liu Bao sneered, but his heart became more and more sad, if he did it himself, I was afraid that the hat of being mean and easy to kill would have been buckled up a long time ago, right?
Liu Bao never understood why there was such a difference, could it be that because he was born in the Huns, he changed his surname to Liu, and he is also Han!
But he didn't want to, a few months ago, he wantonly used the Huns as officials to force the Han people to take the throne, and he also had the heart of becoming a Hun alone.
However, at this time, he only thinks about himself, can fight well, and he has come to the present step by step, thinking that even if he is a Huns, his talent and hard work, and self-confidence are not inferior to those emperors of Wei and now the emperors of Jin.
can be the emperor, why can't I sit alone?
It's just that for the moment it's just a failure, and everything that was before was in vain!
Of course, in the past few days, he was also given a chance, and after he went back, because there were still some Huns in the county, they fought hard, so they finally suppressed the unstable military spirit.
But as soon as the Han army arrived, Liu Bao immediately felt that the pressure of the bullet was unstable.
At this point, he turned around and walked down.
Walking through the corridor, there are soldiers with weapons guarding a group of civilians.
These people, men and women, were under the watchful eye of the soldiers, and did not dare to make a sound, but they were the people who were strictly ordered to pull them up and carry the stones.
Without looking at the frightened expressions of those people, Liu Bao had a gloomy face and went down the stone steps to a mansion next to the city tower.
This place has become a temporary resting place for Liu Bao, and as soon as he sat down on the chair, someone came to the door.
"The big marshal, the young marshal asks to see you." The guard was talking outside in a report.
Liu Yuan, who was originally a proton, was friendly with Sima Yan and was Sima Yan's confidant, but in the Han and Wei wars, Sima Yan was defeated twice, his prestige was lost, and he was deprived of his position by Sima Zhao, and it was also the families of the Jin Kingdom who dismissed him.
Liu Bao is also the same as the Taiyuan Wang family, he chose Sima You, which can be regarded as a work from the dragon, after Sima You ascended the throne, Liu Yuan's proton was allowed to go back, and Liu Bao was old and asked again.
Before, it was Liu Yuan who was guarding the county to stabilize the situation and let Liu Bao enter the city with confidence.
When Liu Bao heard that it was him who had arrived, he said, "Let him in." ”
"Yes, Marshal."
After a while, an emaciated man walked in from outside, and even at this moment, he was still a little dashing, but his eyes were bloodshot and dull.
As soon as he came in, Liu Yuan first saluted respectfully to Liu Bao who was sitting on the seat, and said with a sad face: "Father, the city has been trapped by the Han army, I heard that the defenders in the city are in turmoil, but last night, more than 100 people fled, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the army's heart will be in turmoil, father, you should make a decision earlier." ”
"Oh? Is the army in turmoil? Liu Bao repeated this sentence, raised his head and stared at Liu Yuan, and looked at it for a while.
He couldn't believe it anymore, it was this son, who loved him before, but now he didn't know if this son would sell him and learn the tricks of those Han people.
At this moment, seeing Liu Yuan's cold sweat, Liu Bao retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Then according to what the child said, how can we turn the situation around?" ”
Liu Yuan hesitated and persuaded: "Father, according to the child's opinion, this battle cannot be fought anymore."
The child once heard: Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood.
At this time, it is hibernating, in fact, it is nothing, now all parts of the county are already under the control of the Han army, only this county city, can not be held for a few days, if it is consumed again, not only the people in the city are afraid of rebellion, but the Han army under the city will no longer tolerate your father.
From a child's point of view, it is better for the father to pretend to surrender first, and slowly recover his strength secretly, so that he will have a chance in the future, and it will not be too late to make a comeback......"
"Do you mean to persuade me to surrender?" Liu Bao stared at Xu Jin coldly.
Liu Yuan hurriedly said: "Father, it's just a pretending to surrender, one day when the time comes, you can still make a comeback!" ”
Liu Bao obviously didn't want to listen to it anymore, so he stood up abruptly and scolded: "Who are you listening to? ”
Liu Yuan was silent, but a scribe behind him raised his head slightly.
Liu Bao glanced at it, and also saw the scribe, and immediately rushed outside and shouted: "Someone." ”
"Dashuai!" Hearing the commotion, several heavily armed guards came in from outside.
Liu Bao pointed at the scribe behind Liu Yuan and shouted, "Drag him out and behead!" ”
"Yes, Dashuai!" Several of the guards could not help but say, and they came up and dragged the scribe out.
"Father, you can't do this! He has been by my side for all these years, and he has worked hard without credit!
Father, please spare his life! Father ...... "Global."
After the scribe was dragged out, Liu Yuan kept pleading, but until the man disappeared, the miserable voice could no longer be heard, and Liu Bao sat down again with a gloomy face.
Liu Yuan also stopped at this time, and turned around directly and walked out of this hall, he also had his own deployment, even if he turned his face with Liu Bao, Liu Bao couldn't kill him.
When he returned to his hall, he picked up the teacup, and as soon as he took a sip, he couldn't help but throw it to the ground.
"Young marshal!" When they heard the sound of the noise, they immediately entered, and saw the Lord sitting there with a gloomy face.
"Stand down." Liu Yuan raised his eyes to look at the guards who came in and said.
"No." Seeing that Liu Yuan was fine, the man respectfully stepped back.
"Wait a minute, pick up Brother Wang Ji to see me here." Liu Yuan said suddenly, this is the son-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family, the son of Wang Hun, the general of the Jin Dynasty, how is this county, half of it is to see Liu Bao, and half is to see the Wang family.
"Yes, young marshal." When the guards heard this, they retreated.
After a while, a white-clothed scribe stepped in from outside, but his walk seemed to be a little swaying, obviously he had drunk a lot, and stopped at the door: "Brother, do you want to see me?" ”
"Brother Wang, can you go to the city with me to have a look?" Liu Yuan stood up, walked outside, and asked as he passed by Wang Ji's side.
"Let's go, then." Wang Ji didn't care, turned around and left, Liu Yuan respectfully followed him towards the city.
When he came to the city and looked at the army below, Liu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, and then sighed secretly.
For the unstable people in the city, he is actually like watching the fire, which is exactly the same as when Guanzhong was in the beginning, the Han army is pressed by the general trend, and it can't be defeated, there is no escape, there is only a dead end.
Liu Bao, the commander, was defeated and almost died, although he fled back to the city, but the general trend was gone, even if he had the pressure of his own soldiers, it would be useless.
"When the city is broken, I can't be buried with it." He thought to himself.
At this time, Liu Bao was even more annoyed when he saw that Liu Yuan didn't listen to him and was rebellious.
"Liu He." For a moment, Liu Bao drank.
"The end will be."
"Everything you prepared a few days ago, but are you ready?" Liu Bao looked at the henchman beside him and asked.
"My lord, it's ready." That Liu He was also a Huns, his face changed slightly, but he replied respectfully.
Liu Bao nodded, his face gloomy and uncertain: "Okay, at midnight today, according to what I ordered before." ”
"But, my lord, now that the city is still there, ...... do this" Hearing this, Liu He's face changed greatly.
"Why, I've been defeated so much, and even you have to betray me?" Liu Bao sank his face and said.
Liu He immediately knelt on the ground: "The last general will not dare." ”
"Then do as I tell you." Liu Bao said sharply.
“…… Promise! ”
Outside the city, there are large camps, and it is spectacular.
By this time the night was deep, and the oil lamps had been extinguished in the tents.
Only in the main tent, the lights are bright, the table is full of documents, and there are a few books placed in front of the collapse.
However, I was not in good spirits, and after only looking at it for a while, I felt sleepy, so I put it aside, lay down, and closed my eyes a little to recuperate.
At this time, a guard brought him dinner, and Guan Yi looked at the few meals on the ground, and lost his appetite.
"Just these two!" Guan Yi only left two of the meats, and let the attendants take the rest out.
Reluctantly eat the food, you can't eat it, your physical strength must be preserved, no matter how you don't want to eat, you have to eat meat, the guards came in and cleaned up, Guan Yi got up and walked out of the camp.
"Dashuai!" When the people outside saw him come out, they saluted respectfully.
Guan Yi waved his hand, so that they did not have to be restrained and did their own thing.
And he stood in front of the account, looking at the direction of the county, slightly distracted, three days have passed since the last battle, and now this Taiyuan County has basically fallen into his hands.
Although there are still enemy troops in the city, according to intelligence, this is already vulnerable, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hold out for a day if I attack tomorrow.
If you don't want to get the city more completely, you can use the city-breaking car to attack it today.
"How's it going?" At this time, a figure came to Guan Yi, and Guan Yi asked lightly.
"Marshal, persuasion has failed." The dark shadow replied.
"Then act according to the plan and let Liu Yuan surrender the city." Guan Yi said.
"No." The shadow quietly retreated.
However, when Guan Yi thought for a moment and looked in the direction of the county town again, his eyes widened suddenly, only to see a sudden fire rising in the city, rising to the sky.
"Hahahaha......" Taishou's mansion suddenly caught fire, Liu Bao stood in a small building in the mansion, looking at the scene of the fire, laughing desolately.
"Liu He, even you betrayed me!" Seeing that there was no scheduled fire in the city, especially in the granary, Liu Bao laughed wildly: "But I can at least burn this mansion." ”
Liu Bao laughed and strode into the sea of fire, and suddenly, the flames rose and lit him, like a burning man, but this person didn't feel any pain, and still laughed in the fire until he became a charred bone.
The mansion was burned, and the surrounding houses were even more chaotic, with continuous cries and screams, and people running and fleeing everywhere, as well as soldiers who took advantage of the opportunity to plunder.
The fire is soaring into the sky, like hell on earth.
Liu He closed his eyes and sighed: "Dashuai, it's not that I don't go with you, this is really ridiculous, there are still tens of thousands of people in the city, I ...... I still want to live! ”
Not to mention burning the city, even if all the granaries are burned, none of the people who execute them will survive, but this granary concentrates most of the grain in this state.
As for burning the entire city, Liu Bao is really crazy, it is impossible for anyone, to this point, and with this control, no one can do it, not to mention that Liu Yuan also betrayed him.
At this point, I can only burn myself.
Liu Yuan watched this scene silently, turned his face to the generals waiting beside him and said, "Go and open the city gate and welcome the Han army into the city!" ”
Guan Yi had been watching the changes in the city at this time, and after a moment of time, he received the news.
"What? Liu Bao self-immolated? Liu Yuan led his troops out of the city to surrender? ”
This change occurred in the city, and it was a good time for the Han army to enter the city.
At that moment, Guan Yi no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Order Zhong Yi to lead his troops into the city, order the generals to cooperate, control the city, do not plunder, and extinguish the fire first." ”
Guan Yi himself, as well as the army, will not enter the city.
It is too dangerous to enter the city at night, and it is possible to camp in an instant, and only by waiting for tomorrow morning is the time to enter the city.
However, Liu Yuan actually grasped this line of vitality, and the emperor had already ordered that if he could, let Liu Yuan and the Huns be buried together.
