Chapter 157: Huang Xun kills his brother and the whole army surrenders, Hua Yan dies in battle, and his brother is angry
As mentioned last time, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, defeated Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, who invaded his territory, in Yikang County, Dekang County. After that, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, led a large army to the south to attack the rebel army in the fifteen counties of Taide Prefecture.
The first target of his attack was the 600,000-strong rebel army led by Huang Xun in the Thuan An County area in northern Tyde. What Huang Xun never expected was that the rebel army he led had corrupted military discipline and endangered the people, so the people who originally supported them hated them to the core. As a result, the city gate was opened by the people who died together, resulting in the rebel army led by Huang Xun having to retreat.
On May 24, Huang Xun, who had fled from Shun'an City in disarray, was surrounded by an army led by Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, when he fled to the vicinity of Jintang Village, fifty miles southeast of Shun'an County.
As the leader of the rebel army and the self-proclaimed generalissimo of the conquest of the world, Huang Xun looked at his younger brother Huang Xun and said to him: "Huang Xun, my brother originally wanted you to follow your brother to taste the glory and wealth of this world. It's a pity that now the army has been defeated so far. So, brother, brother will try his best to make a bloody path for you, so that you can live a good life with the gold, silver and jewelry we robbed. ”
However, Huang Xun's eyes were filled with a touch of guilt and madness, and he looked at his brother as if he was thinking about a big event. Finally, he seemed to have made up some kind of determination.
At this time, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, who led a large army to surround the 100,000 remnants led by Huang Xun, was listening carefully to the information from the counties and counties of Taide.
And a general named Yang Junchen beside him said to Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an: "Lord Wang, I want to tell you good news, I have just captured the 30,000 thieves who surrendered on their own initiative, and I have killed all of them. Therefore, I came to report the good news to the prince. ”
"Well done, Yang Junchen, you are really a member of the king's command! These thieves deserve to die in their own lives, they take the initiative to surrender, and they will be in great trouble in the future. They must be cut down to the root and severely punished. Only in this way can these foolish people dare to rebel without the guts. Xiahoutai said approvingly.
Huang Xun, who was in the encirclement, saw that his team was already hungry, and he knew that there was not much time left to support it! Therefore, he was ready, even if all the soldiers under his command were sacrificed, he would send his younger brother Huang Xun out.
That night, when Huang Xun and his younger brother Huang Xun drank wine and ate meat, Huang Xun didn't touch a drop of wine, he just sat in place and looked at his brother. When Huang Xun felt that something was wrong, he was already in abdominal pain, and when he looked at his younger brother's guilty look, he didn't know whether he felt ridicule or disappointment, he laughed directly. And Huang Xun was already crazy, he cursed at his brother: "Brother, only by killing you can I live with your head." So, brother, don't you want me to live? Aren't you willing to die for me? So, brother, I'll live well. ”
However, at this time, Huang Xun was too lazy to speak! He just felt that looking at this guy in front of him, he only felt disgusting. Moreover, the younger brother in front of him didn't know that he took his head to surrender, which was tantamount to choosing a dead end. However, since his younger brother has chosen this dead end, he can't say anything?
With a "poof", I saw him spit out a mouthful of blood, and then he fell to the ground. Maybe he never wanted to see this beast in front of him again! After Huang Xun died, his eyes were tightly closed.
Huang Xun saw that his brother was dead, he tried his brother's snort, and after not perceiving the slightest breath, he finally put his mind at ease. He was ruthless, pulled out his brother's sword, and slashed at his neck, blood splashing on his face. Huang Xun's hands holding his various heads were constantly trembling.
When the soldiers under Huang Xun saw Huang Xun's younger brother Huang Xun actually carrying Huang Xun's head, everyone was shocked. Naturally, some of Huang Xun's diehards immediately drew their swords and wanted to avenge Huang Xun. However, only Huang Xun gave an order, and those die-hard loyalists were all killed from behind by Huang Xun.
Huang Xun said loudly to the soldiers: "You all listen to me, now we are desperate, and there is no food and grass." What is the purpose of our rebellion, isn't it just to seal our wives and sons, and to be prosperous and rich? In this case, as long as we surrender to the king of Tai'an, won't we be able to get a stable life? Moreover, the king of Tai'an will definitely treat us well. ”
All the soldiers, there was no cheering, all were as silent as death. However, I don't know who shouted first, "Brothers, what General Huang Xun said is right, let's fight hard and there is only one way to die." Let's surrender directly to the prince of Tai'an, and the prince will definitely treat us well. ”
As this man began, all the rebel soldiers began to cheer one after another. Soon, as Huang Xun sent an envoy, intending to negotiate the terms of surrender with Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, and Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, saw the envoy, looking at the surrender conditions presented by the envoy and Huang Xun's head, he said coldly: "What? You traitors, you still want to negotiate terms with this king. Do not forget that you are in the encirclement of this king. ”
However, the general named Yang Junchen whispered in the ear of Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an. Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, seemed to agree with Yang Junchen's idea, and immediately said to the envoy: "Okay, this king agrees to Huang Xun's surrender conditions, but this king also has conditions, that is, you must eliminate the rebels in Tongyuan County, Tongyi County and Tongren County entrenched at the junction of Guangyi County and Shun'an County, the leader of this group of rebels is named Hua Pu, and the number of rebel troops under his command is around 100,000. If your leader Huang Xun can lead the army and sweep away the traitors of Hua Pu, then this king will definitely make your leader Huang Xun a general. ”
The envoy in front of him was immediately overjoyed, and he hurriedly knelt in front of Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, and slammed his head nine times. Then, he excitedly went back to Huang Xun to return to his life.
Huang Xun was also elated after hearing the envoy's reply. He immediately personally led the whole army and surrendered to Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an.
After that, Huang Xun led the army under his command and went to conquer Hua Pu. And Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, was so active when he saw Huang Xun, who had surrendered to him. Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, said to Yang Junchen beside him: "Yang Junchen, what you said is very right, the generals are available! However, remember, when this traitor Huang Xun led his own subordinates to sweep away Hua Pu, he killed all the remnants of the traitor led by Huang Xun. ”
If, at this time, Huang Xun knew that he was still a traitor in the eyes of Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, and Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, also ordered that after he fought with Hua Pu, he would still kill himself and the army under his command. I don't know if he will regret it.
On May 28, Huang Xun led an army of 100,000 and suddenly attacked Songshan Pass, the gate in the northern part of Tongyuan County, which was controlled by Huapu's army. The Songshan guard was named Xue Erhu, who was originally a blacksmith from Tongyuan County and did not have much experience in leading troops. As a result, although he led 3,000 men under his command, he fought a fierce battle with Huang Xun's army at Songshan Pass. It's a pity that Xue Erhu didn't have the slightest command talent, so he couldn't win the battle and was defeated and captured.
Huang Xun naturally would not leave prisoners, he ordered that all the captives including Xue Erhu and hundreds of other captives be killed.
Huang Xun left 3,000 men to garrison Songshan Pass, and he continued to lead the army to attack Tongyuan County, where the north gate was wide open. Due to the disrepair of the city wall of Tongyuan County, although there are 20,000 Hua Pu's subordinates stationed in the city, the commander of these 20,000 Hua Pu's subordinates is Hua Pu's third brother Hua Yan, Hua Yan is a full person who talks on paper and has great ambitions and talents, and he doesn't know how to fight at all.
When the army led by Huang Xun besieged Tongyuan County, Hua Yan was in chaos. However, although he has no command talents, he is also heroic. He stuck to the dilapidated city wall of Tongyuan County and fought a fierce battle with the army led by Huang Xun. The offensive and defensive sides fought fiercely for three days and three nights.
In order to prevent Hua Pu from sending reinforcements, Huang Xun ordered a part of the army to defend near Cangsong Mountain in the south of Tongyuan County.
And when Hua Pu learned that his younger brother Hua Yan was besieged by the army led by Huang Xun in the county seat of Tongyuan County, he naturally immediately sent soldiers and horses to help Tongyuan County. However, the reinforcements he sent were blocked near Cangsong Mountain, which led to Tongyuan County. Due to the steepness of Cangsong Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the reinforcements sent by Huapu are simply unable to conquer Cangsong Mountain in a short period of time.
And Hua Yan, who held the county seat of Tongyuan County, was attacked by Huang Xun's army, and the county seat of Tongyuan County was broken, and Hua Yan was also defeated and killed. Huang Xun's army looted for a day and a night in the county seat of Tongyuan County, and finally Huang Xun also ordered a fire to burn the county seat of Tongyuan County.
Hua Pu, who learned of his brother's death, was grief-stricken with his second brother Hua Jie and fourth brother Hua Ying. Suddenly, he remembered Fang Tao, the benefactor who had saved him. However, Fang Tao is a scholar who has studied all over the world, and now he doesn't know where Fang Tao is? Just when he was at a loss, Fang Tao suddenly took the initiative to contact him.
After Hua Pu saw his benefactor Fang Tao, the three brothers knelt directly in front of Fang Tao and said in unison: "Mr. Fang, our brother Hua Yan died in battle, we want to take revenge, but there is no way. Please sir come up with an idea for us. As long as we can take revenge, our three brothers will definitely go to the soup for you, sir, and we will not give up. ”
Fang Tao hurriedly helped them up and said, "Hua Pu, Hua Jie and Hua Ying, you are all good brothers of my Fang Tao. How can I be embarrassed by your begging of me? Rest assured, I have the means to destroy this brutal enemy. ”
Immediately afterwards, Fang Tao took out a map and said to the three brothers, "You see, this is Datong Mountain, which is the north gate of Tongyi County and Tongren County. The enemy army must attack Odori Mountain. However, this Huang Xun is a ruthless and unrighteous person who killed his brother for the sake of glory and wealth. Although he has some strategy, he is only a little learned. This time, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, sent him to attack the three county towns occupied by your three brothers, just to make you both lose. So, we can't fight hard. You see, the army led by Huang Xun must go through Niuxugou if it wants to pass through Datong Mountain. Let's lure the enemy to Niuxugou, and when all the troops led by Huang Xun enter Niuxugou, we will close the door and fight the dogs, and we will definitely be able to achieve victory. ”
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
