Chapter 320: Jizhou Mu
"Second brother, uh, King Yan, I have found Yuan Ding's hiding place, and I have asked the brothers to block all the retreats. www.biquge.info"With an excited look, Ma Yue rode over and said to Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi groaned slightly, turned his head to Huang Yong and said, "Old general, I bother you and the two generals Xu Sheng and Chen Wu to clean up the mess here and collect the surrendered troops and materials. Huang Yong is old and careful, and his mind is more detailed, let him clean up the mess, and Yuan Qi is more at ease. Huang Yong knew Yuan Qi's thoughts, nodded and agreed.
"The rest come with the king. Yuan Qi beckoned, led a group of generals, and under the leadership of Ma Yue, rushed to Yuan Ding's hiding place.
Coming to a wide alley, Yuan Qi's gaze crossed the ground to Gui Lux and looked inside. The golden helmet on his head had already been shot down by the shrapnel scattered by the Heavenly Maiden, and the hair that had lost the shackles of the helmet had been scattered and had long since lost its former luster, covering half of Yuan Ding's face; the other half of his face was covered with traces of gunpowder smoke and a trace of blood; the luxurious gold armor on his body was already scattered, and even the cloak behind him was only half of it, how embarrassed and embarrassed it was.
Yuan Qi came out of the crowd, not afraid of the generals and guards guarding Yuan Ding's side, rode his horse to a place only ten steps away from Yuan Ding, and said loudly: "Brother Ding, don't come to harm?"
Looking at the bright image of Yuan Qi's white horse golden armor, the corners of Yuan Ding's mouth flashed a trace of bitterness, at this moment, in front of Yuan Qi, Yuan Ding seemed to be a flower child, compared with Yuan Qi, the judgment was like a cloud. With a sour tone. Yuan Ding opened his mouth and said: "Yuan Qi, you won this battle. There will be only one request, let go of so-and-so's son, and so-and-so will be at your disposal. ”
Yuan Qi smiled lightly, glanced around left and right, and said teasingly: "Yuan Ding, this king doesn't understand what you're saying."
Yuan Ding's eyes radiated a pride from the heart, "Even if you defeat so-and-so, your soldiers are just a bunch of untouchables!"
"Untouchable?" Yuan Qi chuckled and said, "What is honor? What is lowliness? Dignity and lowliness are all prescribed by people. And the person who has the right to make dignity and humility will only be the victor! The winner is the king, and the loser is the villain. Today. If this king defeats you, this king can revise this rule, but you, Yuan Ding, do not have this qualification! You open your eyes and see clearly, there are many foreign warriors in this king's army, most of the sergeants are from poor backgrounds, they are all untouchables in your mouth, but it is they who defeated the invincible Yuan Ding! Why?! Because you and your subordinates will only lie on comfortable beds, sucking the wealth created by the poor people, and you have degenerated into the moths of this world, do not forget that your life of fine clothes and food is created by them little by little, and without the hard work of the vast number of poor people, where would you get the fine clothes and food? I'm afraid you can't even make a fire and cook!"
Yuan Qi's words, Yuan Ding was speechless, but Yuan Shang, who was hiding behind Yuan Ding, couldn't listen to it anymore, and couldn't help but stand up and say: "It is a matter of course for untouchables to serve noble people, it has been like this since ancient times, and it is understandable!"
Yuan Shang's words made Yuan Qi laugh angrily, turned his head to look at Yuan Shang, Yuan Qi sneered: "Understandable? Justified? Funny, in this way, a person with a high status can order someone with a lower status than him at will? That's good, this king is the king of Yan who is personally appointed by the Son of Heaven, and his status is three levels higher than your father, a chariot general, and this king now makes your father kneel on his knees and make a meal for this king to eat, which is also a natural and understandable thing?"
Yuan Shang's face was flushed by Yuan Qi's words, and he pointed at Yuan Qi and said angrily: "Yuan Qi, don't be too arrogant, you just took shit luck and got the favor of the Son of Heaven, how can you compare with my Yuan family, the fourth and third dukes, why do you command my father?"
"The wood of the hug is born in the end of the millennium. The fourth generation and third duke of your Yuan family also started from the first generation of ancestors, and your Yuan family can be the fourth generation and third duke, why can't we do it in the Yuan clan of Youzhou? Don't forget, the starting point of this king is much higher than the ancestors of your Yuan family. On the other hand, are your Yuan family inherently noble? Before the Fourth and Third Dukes, weren't you the same as facing the loess with your back to the sky and working in the farmland? As the descendants of the Yuan family, you did not think about the hard work of your predecessors and created a great foundation, but instead acted as a prestige and made a fortune and destroyed the foundation founded by your ancestors, what face did you have to argue in front of this king? Who gave you the cheekiness to shout that you were the Fourth and Third Dukes? Are you not afraid of dishonoring your ancestors? Yuan Qi reprimanded Yuan Shang violently, saying that Yuan Shang was the same as his father Yuan Ding, speechless.
Yuan Ding's proud look, under Yuan Qi's reprimand, gradually dispersed, with a little shame and loneliness, sighed and said: "What King Yan said is right, the wealth is empty, after all, it is just a dream of Nanke." ”
Yuan Qi stretched out his hand and pulled out the Red Sky Divine Sword, threw it in the direction of Yuan Ding, and the Red Sky flew to Yuan Ding's feet like lightning, and just rubbed Yuan Ding's boots impartially, and inserted it into the ground at his feet. At the same time, Yuan Qi's voice sounded again: "Originally, this king wanted to cut off your head with his own hands to avenge the brothers who died in the first battle of Shaxian. ”
Yuan Ding Muran pulled out the Chitian Divine Sword, stretched out his hand and stroked the Red Sky Red Sword Body, and muttered to himself: "Chitian Divine Sword, behead the faint monarch above, behead the minister, hahaha, fuck your champion Hou, Lao Tzu never needs to see you again"
As he spoke, Yuan Ding lifted Chitian and wiped it on his neck, and the sharp blade of the sword immediately cut through Yuan Ding's flesh and blood vessels, and then with a splash of blood, he fell down holding Chitian. The sunset hanging on the horizon is like a spectator waiting for the ending, and at the moment when Yuan Ding killed himself, it also fell into the sky with the end of the curtain. All that was left was a golden-red afterglow.
"Father!" Yuan Shang's heart-rending cry sounded. But there was no response. Those generals and guards who were guarding Yuan Ding's side had fallen into confusion and didn't know what they should do next.
Five days later, Yuan Qiduan sat in the governor's mansion in Yecheng. Looking at the map on the table in front of him. Since Yuan Ding's death. His army of 250,000 fell apart. There was no obstacle in front of the Yan army, and they were able to drive straight into Jizhou and capture the city. The four elites led by Qi Tian, Zhao Hu, Ma Yue and Gan Jing are the mainstay. Supplemented by a certain number of ordinary sergeants, they marched in different directions at the same time, and in three days, they conquered Anping, Julu, Qinghe and Yecheng one after another, and took most of Jizhou into their pockets, and only Wei County fell into the hands of Yugong Zhaolie.
The reason why Yan Jun went so smoothly was also thanks to the careerist Taishan. According to Yuan Qi's original plan, Zhuge Liang spread a lot of news in Jingzhou in the south shortly before Yugong Zhaolie defeated the trial, falsely claiming that after Yugong Zhaolie won the trial, he would march into Jingxiang, and then include Jingzhou in the territory. Originally, Zhuge Liang had two sets of plans, spreading rumors was only one of them, because Zhuge Liang knew Pang Tong's ability, and knew that Pang Tong would never be easily fooled, who expected that since he got half of Jingzhou, Taishan's ambition rose sharply, and it became intolerable, and it was often difficult to listen to the advice, especially after a conflict broke out with Pang Tong, the trust and dependence on Pang Tong dropped significantly, and he turned a deaf ear to Pang Tong's loyalty, and blatantly sent Guan Wei to lead 50,000 Jingxiang troops to raid the three counties of Jingzhou controlled by Ugong Zhaolie, Guan Wei did not live up to Taishan's high hopes, and in Nanjun and the general of the Ugong Army, Xiahou Dun, who was stationed there, had a hard-fought duelIn the chaos of the battle, Xiahoudun was shot in the left eye by a stray arrow, turned into a one-eyed dragon, and was seriously injured, Xiahoudun was unable to control the situation and sent a signal for help to Yanzhou.
Xun You, who stayed in Yanzhou, hurriedly mobilized tens of thousands of troops, handed them over to Yu Ban, and asked Yu Ban to lead troops to Nanjun to rescue Xiahou Dan, who expected Guan Wei to use the terrain on the way to Ban, and stored a large amount of stagnant water in advance, and waited until Yu Ban entered the garrison, Guan Wei ordered to let go of Shuiti, and came to a good show of flooding the Seventh Army, drowned all the tens of thousands of troops in Yu Ban, and also captured Yu Ban alive.
Two big victories in a row made Guan Wei Wei earthquake in the Central Plains, so scared that Ugong Zhaolie did not dare to stay in Jizhou anymore, lest Guan Wei take advantage of the emptiness of his old nest and attack Yanzhou. Only Yugong Hong was left to guard Wei County, and he rushed back to Yanzhou with other soldiers, and then rushed to Nanjun non-stop, which repelled Guan Wei and kept the three counties he owned in Jingzhou.
When Ugong Terulie stabilized the situation in the south and looked back to the north, he suddenly found that except for the southernmost Wei County, the rest of the Jizhou counties had fallen into the hands of Yuan Qi. And Yuan Qi also wrote to Yuan Xie, asking Yuan Xie to seal Zhuge Liang as the new Jizhou pastor, Yuan Xie was not ambiguous, and immediately approved Yuan Qi's request, although the official appointment letter has not yet arrived in Jizhou, but it is only a matter of time. After Zhuge Liang officially took office, he could justifiably order Yugong Hong to withdraw from Wei County and let the Yan army take full control of Jizhou.
Unomiya Terulie is not a fool, things have developed to this extent, he has come to his senses, Taishan is making trouble behind him, it must be Yuan Qi who is making trouble in secret, he can only swallow this breath. However, Ugong Terulie did not gain nothing in this joint battle to exterminate Yuan Ding, harvested half of Qingzhou in Yuan Ding's hands, and won the northernmost three counties in Jingzhou, which can also be said to be a lot of gains.
Compared with Ugong Zhaolie, Taishan is much more pitiful, because after listening to the rumors, he rushed to send troops, not only did he not get any practical benefits, but also set up such a strong enemy as Ugong Zhaolie, I believe that after a year or two of recuperation and rectification, he will definitely point his troops to Jingzhou. Thinking of this, Taishan hated the root of his teeth, and Ugong Teruje, he also saw that the people who spread rumors must be the people of Yuanqi, but unfortunately Taishan had no way to take Yuanqi, who made himself stupid, and fell into Yuanqi's dang? After this incident, Taishan respected Pang Tong again, and was more obedient than before, because Taishan knew that if he wanted to survive in adversity, he could only rely on Pang Tong's wisdom.
And Pang Tong did not disappoint Taishan, he proposed a new direction: to march into Yizhou. Yizhou is fertile for thousands of miles, the country is rich and the people are rich, but it is a treasure land. And Yizhou Mu Yuanzhang is mediocre and weak, and he has been imprisoned by the neighboring Zhang Lu for many years, and his majesty has been lost, which is a good time for Taishan to take the opportunity to seize Yizhou. At this time, I don't know what the reason is, Yuan Zhang actually sent someone to send a letter to Taishan, asking Taishan to see the affection of the same clan and send troops to help him resist Zhang Lu. Faced with the fat delivered to the door, Taishan of course readily agreed, and immediately reorganized the military horses and prepared to send troops on a certain day.
