Chapter Eighty-Nine: Canstia
Wei Yan clasped his neck with both hands, as if trying to stop the blood from gushing out.
However, to no avail.
Eventually, the body fell heavily to the ground.
A general of the Han Dynasty, Wei Yan died in battle!
"General Wei Yan!"
When several generals saw Wei Yan dead, they immediately let out a cry of grief and were about to rush over.
But after a long battle, where did they have the strength to stop Zhang Xun.
Within a few rounds, they were all slashed under the horse.
Looking at the corpses of the Jingzhou soldiers who fell to the ground, Zhang Xun suddenly laughed.
Nanyang County has finally been breached!
And he even killed Wei Yan with his own hands, you must know that this is a long-famous general!
Yuan Yao's reward is absolutely indispensable!
Although on the surface, Yuan Yao is subject to Yuan Shang, and he will not act rashly within two years.
But this does not mean that Yuan Yao will not send people to secretly come out to support the forces.
As long as half of Jingzhou's land can be annexed, the supply of grain and grass for Yuan Yao's army will be much better at that time.
It was not only Zhang Xun, except for Ji Ling, who was in Yuan Yao's camp, almost all the other generals were sent out.
In order to encroach on Jingzhou by various forces.
The news of Wei Yan's death soon spread to Changsha County, Jingzhou, and Liu Biao's ears.
When the latter learned that Wei Yan had been killed, he was immediately overwhelmed with grief and almost fainted several times from crying.
I don't know whether to cry for Wei Yan or cry for my own miserable experience.
Liu Biao, who originally owned the seven counties of Jingzhou, has now been lost to the land of the four counties, leaving only Guiyang County, Wuling County and now Changsha County.
If it weren't for the constant infighting between these princes' forces in order to seize and carve up the land of Jingzhou, Liu Biao might not have lasted for a month.
But if there are no more reinforcements, it is estimated that within three months, all the seven counties of Jingzhou will fall into the pockets of others.
At that time, there will be only a dead end to greet Liu Biao.
A few days later.
Inside Chang'an City.
Wei Yan had been gone for more than ten days and there was still no news, and everyone couldn't help but worry about the other party's comfort.
Jingzhou is in chaos, even if Wei Yan is strong in martial arts, he may not be safe.
Just as Liu Bei was opening the morning court, a herald recklessly rushed into the tent, still holding a small box in his hand.
"Didn't the general say that the emperor is deliberating, and you dare to come in, and you are not afraid of killing your head?"
Cao Cao, who was on the side, immediately drew his long sword and put it on the herald's neck.
However, looking at the other party's actions is just for show, and there is no killing intent.
"The Emperor... Your Majesty, Generals, we have received news from General Wei Yan..."
The herald said with a trembling voice.
"Huh?"
"Come on, how is General Wei Yan?"
Cao Cao continued to question.
Hearing this, the herald swallowed a mouthful of spit and cried out while holding the small box in his arms.
"General Wei Yan died in battle!"
"The anti-thief Chen Liutaishou is even worse than General Wei Yan... The head was sent back. ”
What?
Wei Yan died in battle?
When everyone heard this, they all looked incredulous.
Among them, Lu Bu was the most shocked.
He snapped to his feet, snatched the small box from the herald's hand, and opened it.
The next moment.
Lu Bu trembled, and his hands accidentally let go.
The locket fell to the ground, and a head rolled out.
I saw Wei Yan's eyes wide with anger, and his expression was full of anger and unwillingness.
Obviously, until the last moment, Wei Yan didn't want to believe that he would die like this.
"Chen Liutai guarded...... I will tear you to pieces!" ”
Lu Bu suddenly shouted, and his armor rattled.
Although he and Wei Yan have always been at odds, and they quarrel constantly on weekdays, the comradeship between the two is very deep.
I don't know how many times I blocked a deadly attack for the opponent.
Lu Bu even married Wei Yan as brothers with different surnames.
And yet, now... Wei Yan died.
"Your Majesty! The last general, Lu Bu, implored the emperor to allocate troops to kill Chen Liutaishou and avenge General Wei Yan! ”
Lu Bu suddenly fell to his knees and shouted loudly.
He hoped that Liu Bei would give him a large army to avenge Wei Yan.
Hearing this, Liu Bei hesitated, and then shook his head helplessly.
"General Lu Bu, although I also want to avenge General Wei Yan, but now I ......"
Liu Bei sighed slightly.
"If there is no news from the emperor after three months, I will lead my troops to the battle."
Hearing Liu Bei's words, the tent suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Everyone knew what Liu Bei's words meant.
In fact, there are not many people who have hope in their hearts now.
Only Duan Xuan and He Jin were convinced that Liu Hong would definitely come back.
Although they also saw that Zhang Jiao, the Qintian Prisoner, had changed from a man in the prime of life to a dying old man, they also believed that the other party had changed his life for Liu Hong.
But so much time has passed.
I'm afraid that even if Liu Hong survives, it will be difficult to return to Dahan in the future, right?
And it only said that he survived, but he did not say how to survive.
Maybe... Liu Hong has become a vegetative person.
"The last general... Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
Lu Bu forced a sentence out of his teeth.
He also knew that this was Liu Bei's biggest compromise concession.
……
Severus dynasty.
The royal city of Rome.
Gaita looked at the musketeers who were being trained by Liu Hong, and a look of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
For more than a month, these musketeers have been training here every day.
"Master Guoshi, training soldiers shouldn't be... Train their armies and attack? ”
"Why do you just train them to carry weights and tie up?"
Geta asked, pointing to the hundreds of musketeers, confused.
The drills of these musketeers were very different from the ones he had seen on a daily basis.
They are only trained to run with weights, running back and forth with a large piece of stake on their backs.
Hearing this, Liu Hong smiled, but did not answer Gaita's words.
The purpose of training the musketeers' weight-bearing capacity was to cope with long and rapid marches and improve their mobility.
In this era, the musketeer's musket combined with its flexible mobility can inflict maximum damage on the enemy.
Not to mention the fact that both musket projectiles and gunpowder have a very large mass.
If you don't do special training, it won't be long before you are exhausted.
And most importantly.
Liu Hong wanted to turn these musketeers into a modern special forces.
Weight-bearing fitness is just the first step in his training.
Next, he will carry out a series of special training, including but not limited to stealth, assassination, survival, etc.
Liu Hong believed that he would definitely develop bolt-operated weapons and even semi-automatic weapons in the future.
When the time comes, the special forces with the newly developed weapons will definitely be a sharp weapon that will sweep the world.
"By the way, Your Majesty, have there been any Pathian movements lately?"
Liu Hong said.
Counting the time, there was just over a month left before the fleet of ships looking for sweet potatoes and corn returned.
Even if the fleet did not return, Liu Hong had to set off to return to Dahan.
Therefore, he intended to completely eliminate the hidden danger of Geta's rule before leaving the Severus dynasty.
Although Geta had musketeers and dragon thunderbolts at his disposal, he lacked experience.
Liu Hong feared that after he left, Geta would likely fall for the Parthians' schemes.
