Chapter 150, Xiahou Yuan, the general of the expedition to the west
"The Yang family is clearly guilty and has deceived the good people for a long time. The pine and cypress of the Yang family were originally reused by Zhang Gong, but they were rebellious and ungrateful. Such unkindness and injustice deserve to be punished. ”
"Today, on the orders of my lord Uncle Liu Huang, there are 300 people in Yangjiakou. Kill all men over the age of 16 and under the age of 50! ”
The rest of the men were slaves, and the women were prostitutes. The Yang family's real estate is divided into the people to comfort the people. ”
"Kill!"
On a vacant lot in Nanzheng City, there were more than 100 people kneeling together, all of whom were the main members of the Yang family's main family.
With a "killing" sound, rolling heads flew to the ground......
Last night, Zhang Lu died at the hands of Yang Bai in front of everyone's eyes, and then Yang Bai was killed by the doorman of the house. The civil strife in Hanzhong was even worse, and Liu Bei took the opportunity to seize the city, but Hanzhong went down in two hours.
Yang Ang, the general of Hanzhong, died a miserable death. Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, and Wei Yan all wanted to take the merits of the generals, and they were all Yang Ang, who beat the horses and took a bright general's armor.
At the same time that Zhang Fei pierced a hole with a snake spear, Ma Chao's spear also arrived at the same time. Wei Yan used the knife more slowly, but cut it in half.
Romance
But in the end, the cause of death was the feather arrow on the door of the head. Fighters and shooters grabbed heads, and fighters were still slower.
Huang Zhong: The arrow is fast at a hundred paces, and the arrow is accurate and fast within a hundred steps.
Zhang Lu's brother Zhang Wei was captured by Zhao Yunsheng, and Liu Bei decided to go to the court to let Zhang Wei inherit his brother's title in order to invite people to buy people's hearts.
The strategist Yan Pu was nowhere to be found, but Hanzhong was harmless by a small staff.
Zhang Lu couldn't die at his own hands, and using the Yang family as a scapegoat was Liu Xian's plan early on.
The Yang family was originally the first family in Hanzhong, and the land under its name was more than 10,000 hectares. Fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, which can not only carry the blame, but also buy the hearts of the people and replenish the government treasury.
I can't find this kind of good thing to hit the lantern a few times, good guy!
As for whether it will kill innocents? These tyrants run rampant, annexing land and imprisoning population. There may be good people, but the vast majority of crimes are too numerous to mention.
According to the idea of Fazheng, it is natural to directly slaughter the family and exterminate the old and young. But Liu Bei still couldn't be ruthless, and in the end only killed adult men over the age of sixteen.
"My lord, do you want to kill him and keep him in trouble?"
"Filial piety, the old and the young can't bear it."
Throughout Lao Liu's life, he pretended to be benevolent, but this person must not be regarded as a woman's benevolence.
In the Confucian system, benevolence means to promote oneself and others, and to treat others with oneself.
It is to treat others the way you treat yourself. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is the embodiment of this benevolence.
What you don't like yourself, don't impose on others.
As for the explanation that the camp prostitution is a fee, it will not be shown here.
"Lord, the Yang family's execution has been completed."
"Okay, stand down."
In the palace of Hanzhong, Liu Bei waved his hand and signaled to retreat when Liu Bei got the news.
"Yeping, now Hanzhong is fine, what should I do next?"
With the conquest of Nanzheng, the battle of Hanzhong was basically over, and Yangping Pass in the north was waiting to be received.
Liu Bei naturally consulted about the deployment later.
"My lord, Xian expected that Cao Cao's army would arrive soon, and his troops would never be less than 100,000."
"Eliminate the weak and keep the place. Today, our army still has more than 20,000 foot soldiers, 30,000 iron cavalry, and nearly 80,000 25,000 Wudang flying troops. ”
"Now that the new soldiers in Hanzhong have not been attached, our army can be safeguarded when they gather in the city. As for the offensive, it is difficult to do it due to the lack of logistics. ”
Liu Xian analyzed the problem slightly, and the Hanzhong treasury had some grain in stock, but it was still stretched thin to feed the army for war consumption.
"What does that mean karma?" When Liu Bei heard this, he asked.
"Cao Cao's side may have strong troops, but it is also more than enough to rule, and not enough to attack."
In this way, the two sides can only confront it and stalemate, and wait for Cao Cao to retreat. Hanzhong is stable, and after the grain of Yizhou is in Hanzhong, it can be carried out to fight Yongliang. ”
"At present, the first priority is to immediately send troops to seize Yangping Pass. Yangping Pass is the gateway to Hanzhong, and it must not be lost," Liu Xian continued.
Zhang Lu withdrew all the soldiers and horses to Hanzhong, and only then did he know about the defeat of Nanzheng.
This means that there are no defenders at Yangping Pass at present, and if Cao Cao takes advantage of this to occupy it, his own side will be extremely passive.
Without the protection of Yangping Pass, the land of Hanzhong is a girl who is ravaged by others.
Outside Yangping Pass, Qishan Road.
"Drive! Drive! ”
"The whole army is in a hurry, don't delay!"
A mighty general rode first, followed by an army of 50,000 behind him.
Xiahou Yuan, the word is wonderful.
After the battle of Cao Cao and Ma Chao in Weinan, Xiahou Yuan led the army to exterminate the remnants of Han Sui and the Qiang and Di tribes in the Guanlong region.
Weizhen Pass right area, and by virtue of meritorious service to move to the west general, by virtue of the Bochang Pavilion Marquis.
He is the more capable of fighting among the clan generals under Cao Cao, and his combat ability is much higher than that of his brother Xiahoudun.
Xiahou Yuan was originally far away in Xiping and Jincheng in Liangzhou to suppress bandits, and immediately led his troops to hurry after receiving Cao Cao's letter. Traveling nearly 100 miles a day is terrifying, and he even arrived before Cao Cao.
"Leader of the strong end, please inform your brothers and rush to Yangping Pass early. At that time, everyone will be rewarded with 100 coins, and each department will have 100 stones! ”
At this time, Xiahou Yuan found that the march was a little slow, and many people slowed down. Hurried to the team, found a leader dressed as a barbarian, and said to him.
This time, he brought a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, and 30,000 of them were barbarian horsemen.
And the reason why the Di barbarian cavalry was willing to send troops was because he was invited by Xiahou Yuan.
The Di people live in Wudu and Yinping counties in Longnan. It belongs to a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural people, with a very high degree of sinicization.
There are four more powerful leaders in contemporary times: they are Qiang Duan, the leader of the Di tribe in Yinping County, Lei Ding, the leader of the Di tribe in Wudu, Agui of the Di tribe in Xingguo, and Yang Qian, the king of Baiqing (Qiu Chi).
was able to pacify Yongliang in Xiahou Yuan, and most of the Di tribe chose to surrender to Cao Cao except for the leader of Wudu.
"Haha, good! The general will see. ”
"Erlang, cheer up! When we get to Yangpingguan, we can rest, and the salt of the white flowers! ”
When Qiang Duan heard Xiahou Yuan's words, he was immediately so happy that he hurriedly shouted and encouraged his subordinates.
As a clan that has not yet broken away from nomadism, salt is a "strategic" commodity.
Not far from Yangping Pass, a soldier suddenly came to report.
"General, our scouts found a group of suspicious people in front."
"If you are a suspicious person, what can you torture?"
"General, that person said that he was a staff member under Zhang Lu. Now Hanzhong has been occupied by Liu Bei! ”
"What, bring someone up quickly."
Xiahou Yuan originally thought that he was an unimportant spy, and he didn't want to get the news of the fall of Hanzhong.
"Who are you?"
When the person brought it to the horse, Xiahou Yuan immediately asked.
"The general is Xiahou Yuan? In Xia Yanpu, he was originally Zhang Shijun's staff. ”
Yan Pu has been in turmoil in Hanzhong since Zhang Lu's death, and the governor cannot do anything. He took the opportunity to grab a fast horse and brought more than a dozen soldiers to the north, intending to join Cao Cao's army.
"Come on, this person is also in the world, and drag this person down and behead him!"
To Yan Pu's surprise, Xiahou Yuan suddenly ordered to the soldiers on the left and right.
"General, this, why is this?"
"I don't know you, and my department has never stopped rushing all the way. Where did you know my name? Isn't it what is it? ”
"The general came from the north, and the soldiers were tired all the way, and they must be in a hurry. Cao Gong's subordinates can do this, but there is no general Xiahou Yuan in the west. ”
Yan Pu was busy explaining, as a strategist, use his brain to guess who the master will be, isn't this a basic operation?
Good guy, I almost got killed for shaking my wit.
"Yishan, look."
Unexpectedly, Xiahou Yuan no longer paid attention to Yan Pu, but turned his head to look at the scribe beside him.
