Liu Cong looked up and down at Yuan Yan, who was tied up, and originally planned to laugh at it, and then drag down the five horses to split the corpse.

But he suddenly found that his wrists had been bandaged simply, and his hands were hanging down abnormally.

This made Liu Cong glance at Liu Tai curiously, and said, "You broke his hands?" ”

"He tried to kidnap me and escape, and then his hands were dislocated!" Liu Taiyun said the result lightly.

When Liu Cong heard this, he couldn't help but touch his wrist, obviously his hand had already been healed, but now when he heard Liu Tai's words, he didn't know why he still felt a little faint pain.

Liu Cong looked at Yuan Yan who was tied up again, unconsciously felt a little empathy, and sneered:

"Yuan Taishou, you pretended to surrender that day and attacked our army at night, did you ever think that it would fall into my hands today!"

"Thought!" Yuan Yan faced Liu Cong and said calmly, "That day and night attack on the Han army, but I was driven to the city of Yiyang, I already thought that if the Han army came again, I am afraid that it will be the end of my life!" ”

"Humph!" Liu Cong looked at Yuan Yan and admitted calmly, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, "Since you know, you still continue to resist Wang Shi, you really don't know the number of days, and you deserve to die!" ”

"I am Yiyang Taishou, since I accept the appointment and dismissal of the imperial court, then I should fulfill my duties, if I can't even do this basic duty, then I haven't eaten the Jin Court's more than ten years in vain!" Yuan Yan said calmly.

"Taishou is loyal to the Jin Court!" Liu Cong snorted coldly when he heard Yuan Yan's words, pulled out the matching sword from his waist, and walked towards Yuan Yan step by step.

Liu Tai saw this scene and didn't think of stopping it.

After all, he caught the living Yuanyan in front of Liu Cong, which was to let Liu Cong decide his own life and death.

Although I also feel that Yuan Yan is more or less a talent, after all, whether it is the calmness of the army during the night attack, or even in a desperate situation, he wants to hold his desire to survive hostage, which shows that this is a special talent who is more or less calm in adversity.

But this guy deceived Liu Cong, and his behavior can be described as extremely bad, in this case, even if Liu Cong wants to dismantle him, Liu Tai can understand it.

After all, between people, the most important thing is trust, and between Yuan Yan and Liu Cong, there is no such foundation as trust!

So naturally, no one will jump out without long eyes and say that they are going to release Yuanyan.

At this moment, Liu Cong came behind Yuan Yan, and most of the people present were curious to see that Liu Cong would cut off Yuan Yan's head with his own hands.

As for Yuan Yan himself, at this moment, Liu Tai also saw that huge beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead.

The long sword in Liu Cong's hand was suddenly raised, and at this moment, Yuan Yan suddenly said, "Wait a minute! ”

"Oh?" Liu Cong stood behind Yuan Yan and said jokingly, "Oh, Yuan Taishou still has something to say?" ”

Yuan Yan said calmly: "I am worthy of the Jin Court in this life, and now that Yiyang is broken, it is even more providence for this body to be bound."

It's just that I am ashamed of my wife and children, so that my wife is widowed, and my young son is less and lonely, and I also ask the king of Chu to let me die facing the east, and I hope that my soul will return to my hometown to be with my wife and children! ”

"Yes!" Liu Cong smiled calmly when he heard Yuan Yan's words, and decisively agreed.

Yuan Yan didn't say much, his bound body adjusted slightly, turned to the direction of the rising sun, and closed his eyes.

What should be said, or what can be said, Yuan Yan has also made it clear, whether he can survive depends on Liu Cong's mind!

And Liu Cong raised the sword in his hand at this moment and cut it down directly.

In an instant, the rope tied to Yuan Yan's body was directly cut by Liu Cong, and Yuan Yan's clothes were not scarred.

At this time, Liu Cong came to Yuan Yan and said arrogantly, "The Yuan Yan who ate the Jin Dynasty has been beheaded by me with a sword."

Now can you eat my big man's money! ”

Yuan Yan looked at Liu Cong's appearance, but his heart was also full of emotion, and he hesitated slightly, as if after struggling from the heart, he saluted Liu Cong seriously:

"The king of Chu is magnanimous and does not think of a certain despicable, how can Yan be indifferent, and Yan is willing to be the master of the king of Chu!"

"Haha! I have to be too guarded, and I will be like a fish in water! When Liu Cong heard Yuan Yan's words, he decisively went over and held Yuan Yan with both hands.

At least how his father Liu Yuan treats talents, then how Liu Cong treats talents.

And Liu Tai watched silently from the side, and couldn't help but sigh at Yuan Yan's ability to calm down the more crisis.

As long as you don't want to be stared at by some reckless man, you will cut off your head when you meet, and you can live for a long time in troubled times!

And whether Yuan Yan really surrendered or faked surrender, at least after this surrender, he really did his best work.

immediately brought his wife into the army, and then the counties north of the Yellow River, under the persuasion of Yuan Yan, also chose to surrender to Liu Cong.

At this time, Liu Cong was still very sober, or when Liu Yuan was alive, many of Liu Cong's performances were impeccable.

He forgave Yuan Yan, naturally he was not moved by anything, but found from Yuan Yan's words that Yuan Yan had weaknesses to grasp, rather than purely relying on his own morality to maintain his loyalty.

And after having the prerequisites for forgiving Yuanyan, then there is the practical value of forgiving Yuanyan.

First of all, Yuan Yan defeated himself, so he had considerable influence in the prefecture and county north of the Yellow River.

Now he has accepted his surrender, and he has made the counties north of the Yellow River almost surrender.

After all, Yuan Yan, who offended Liu Cong so badly, has a good treatment, so if he votes directly, wouldn't the treatment be better!

In addition, Yuan Yan is willing to work and take the initiative to lobby the counties north of the Yellow River, it can be said that the counties north of the Yellow River do not say that they will surrender to the wind, but as long as the army of the Han Dynasty is driven over, it is basically a pot pulp to welcome the king.

is still the same sentence, the Great Jin itself is not right, and he does not dare to be loyal.

Usually trade with the family family to benefit the family, so the family family is particularly extravagant, and they are collaborators with the Great Jin.

This model is naturally nothing when the Jin court family is dominant, after all, maintaining the rule of the Jin court is to safeguard the interests of these families.

But when there is an interest that can threaten their lives, these children of the family will not have any loyalty to the Jin Court at all, or in other words, as the son of the family, you are loyal to the Jin Court, what are you trying to do!

Under such circumstances, with Yuan Yan's appearance, almost all the Taishou or county orders on the north bank of the Yellow River no longer have any resistance to the Xiongnu Han State.

And Liu Cong crossed the Yellow River by the way, and really entered the power of Luoyang.

This time it is completely different from the last time because someone reported the city defense around Luoyang, and directly broke into the vicinity of Luoyang.

At this time, the Xiongnu Han State had completely taken the power on the north bank of the Yellow River into its own hands.

The entry of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom into Luoyang naturally had a considerable impact on the entire Jin court.

Whether it was Sima Yue or Wang Yan, they didn't expect the Xiongnu Han Kingdom to be so fast, and in a blink of an eye, they had already seized the north bank of the Yellow River, and now they had landed in Luoyang's sphere of influence.

And if the upper echelons of the Jin court let them fight for power and profit, it would definitely be a good hand, but let them send troops to conquer the Xiongnu Han State, to be honest, even Wang Yan, who defeated Wang Mi, did not dare to stand up and say that he could defeat Liu Cong of the Xiongnu Han State.

Just when the upper echelons of the Jin court passed the buck to each other and couldn't come up with an idea, Beigong Chun, who belonged to Xiliang Zhang Rail, stood up.

Beigong Chun opened his mouth and said, "The pseudo-Han is just a group of people who sell their heads, so I will lead my Xiliang Iron Horse to take it lightly!" ”

Beigong Chun and his Xiliang Iron Rider came to send Xiliang this year's tribute and taxes.

Now although the Jin Court is still the nominal master of the world on the surface, but really speaking, only Xiliang Zhang Liang is still submissive to the Jin Court, like a tax tribute or something.

As for the other princes, Wang Jun was playing by himself in Youzhou, Gou Xi was losing his temper in Qingzhou, and Sima Rui was still solving the successive rebellions in Jiangnan, all in all, the Jin court looked powerful, but in fact it was already a mess, and there was no way to coordinate the strength of the entire country through organization.

And Xiliang has Zhang Liang, which can only be said to be the luck of Jin Ting.

When Sima Yue heard this, he immediately became energetic and said, "I don't know how many people the general needs?" ”

Beigong Chun patted his chest and said, "Xiliang Iron Cavalry, invincible, there are 1,000 troops, and they can reach 10,000 troops!" ”

Sima Yue looked at Beigong Chun's posture, and always felt that he wanted to send him to death, but he didn't stop it.

At least in Sima Yue's opinion, Beigong Chun only needs to stop Liu Cong's march speed a little, and suddenly said:

"I personally poured wine and marched for the general!"

Sima Yue naturally didn't count on Beigong Chun, but calculated the reinforcements around Luoyang, and decisively wrote to Li Hun, Bo Sheng and others from the beggar army, asking them to come to the rescue.

Tian Yu, Li Hun, Bo Sheng and others were originally working together in the begging army.

At the beginning, the beggar army had a meritorious service in breaking Jisang and wanted to be the Taishou of Wei County, but Sima Yue did not allow it, sent an army to crusade, and directly drove Tian Yu to the south of the Yellow River.

But Li Hun, Bo Sheng and others chose to surrender to Sima Yue, and Sima Yue naturally accepted it with open hands, and now he is under Sima Yue's command.

After all, those people under the beggar army, there are scholars and people, Sima Yue can't control it if he wants to, and he can't destroy it if he wants to.

Especially in terms of combat effectiveness, the beggar army is even stronger than the current Jin army itself.

It's just that the combat effectiveness of the beggar army is quite unstable, sometimes high and sometimes low, basically their combat effectiveness is directly proportional to the hunger of the soldiers under their command, but if they really starve to death, then they really can't count on any combat effectiveness.

But it is undeniable that at this time, as long as you are willing to take out food, the beggar army is still very willing to give yourself your life!

Therefore, Sima Yue decisively formulated a strategy of sticking to Luoyang and waiting for King Qin's army to come over to crusade against the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms.

To be honest, this kind of thing is okay once, because every time it consumes the prestige of the central court.

However, Sima Yue didn't care about Jin Ting's prestige, anyway, as long as he lived well, Jin Ting was just a tool.

And Beigong Chun naturally didn't know that in Sima Yue's eyes, he was just going to die to delay time.

And Liu Cong chose to accept Yuan Yan's surrender, which not only made the wealthy families on the north bank of the Yellow River choose to surrender, but also even on the south bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Yan still played the role of being the Taishou of Yiyang.

After all, Yiyang is the northern gate of Luoyang, and it has dealings with various local forces in the north of Luoyang, what kind of people should be found to win over, which family should be found for food, and where should auxiliary soldiers be found, Yuanyan has completely become an unparalleled lubricant.

It can be said that after Yuan Yan chose to take refuge in Liu Cong, it was really a dedication to work, and Liu Cong really felt more or less like a fish in water for Yuan Yan.

Of course, this kind of behavior is more or less delicious for Liu Yao, Liu Jing, Hu Yanyi, and even Wang Mi.

After all, as generals, they need to be able to fight in the end, to have their own merits in battle, and to loot by attacking cities, but now that they have come over, all the surrounding forces have taken the initiative to surrender, and these forces that have taken the initiative to surrender cannot be looted.

For the four people at the top, there is naturally less merit, and for the soldiers at the bottom, it is less wealth.

Although some soldiers feel that it is a good thing that they can survive without fighting, there are also people who feel that they can't fight, and they can't take the opportunity to loot, so there will be some complaints, and this information will inevitably converge to the top.

Of course, this kind of resentment has not yet become a climate, because there is still a city of Luoyang in front of the soldiers.

All the soldiers thought that no matter how powerful Yuan Yan was, it would be impossible to persuade Luoyang to surrender.

As long as Luoyang is attacked, there are military merits for the upper-level generals and wealth for the lower-level soldiers, it can be said that the soldiers of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms are very red at the moment, and their will to fight is quite positive.

Just when there was a little impetuousness in the entire barracks, Liu Taian calmly trained the soldiers in his barracks.

He captured Yuan Yan alive and gave it to Liu Cong, instead of directly giving Yuan Yan's head to Liu Cong, as Yuan Yan behaved wonderfully these days, it made Liu Tai's decision quite fruitful.

Liu Cong also vaguely expressed to Wang Mi that he would not let Liu Tai's army belong to Liu Cong, which Wang Mi refused.

Liu Cong is not annoyed, but there are rewards given to Liu Tai from time to time these days to bring Liu Tai closer.

And Liu Tai looked at the gold, silver and jewelry that Liu Cong rewarded and accepted it unceremoniously, and such a cheerful attitude made Liu Cong even more satisfied.

Of course, because of Liu Cong's attitude, the estrangement between him and Liu Yao is even deeper.

Because in Liu Yao's opinion, these rewards should have been his own, but now they have been snatched away by Liu Tai, a guy who robs the merits.

And under the influence of Liu Yao, at least the forces on the Xiongnu side will naturally not have a good face for Liu Tai.

Although they will not participate in the siege of Liu Tai, they will more or less isolate Liu Tai and let everyone see that Liu Tai is being squeezed out by the Huns.

And the Xiongnu Han State, in the end, was a country created by the Huns, and the attitude they showed at this moment not only affected the Huns and other ethnic minorities who followed the Huns, but most importantly, even the Han generals did not dare to get close to Liu Tai.

The reason is very simple, now the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms are in full swing, and the ethnic contradictions are overshadowed by the vigorous development of national fortunes.

Although Liu Tai was favored by Liu Cong, Liu Cong was not Liu Yuan in the end, not the emperor of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom.

Therefore, when Liu Tai was vaguely resisted by the entire Xiongnu class, although the Han side would not fall into the ground, it would not take the initiative to get close to Liu Tai.

"You may not be as comfortable as me!" Yuan Yan came to Liu Tai's military camp and said with a little sigh.
