Chapter 147: Centrifugal Feast
The eight words of beheading the faint king and beheading the ministers are like eight boulders, which weigh heavily on everyone's hearts, and they can't breathe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuan Qi raised the Red Heaven Divine Sword high and said loudly: "The Red Heaven Divine Sword can behead the faint monarch and behead the ministers! Princes, since you have conquered the tiger prison and repelled the Xiliang army, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and sit here to drink and have fun? Yuan Qi dares to ask you, are you loyal or not?"
Yuan Qi's words frightened the princes, including Yuan Bai, all of them were shocked. Once Yuan Qi fastened the hat of the minister on his head, then, I am afraid that in the next moment, the Red Sky Divine Sword raised high will fall on the top of his head.
Yuan Ding is the leader of these princes, and not going to pursue the Xiliang army is also Yuan Ding's strong advocacy, after hearing Yuan Qi's words, the look on his face instantly changed several times, and finally he mustered up the courage to stand up, and said in a calmer tone as much as possible: "Alliance leader, the alliance leader was not in the army just now, I don't know the situation of the Xiliang army, although the Xiliang army was defeated, but it was not panicked when retreating, I am afraid that there will be a backhand, and this is ......."
Without waiting for Yuan Ding to finish speaking, Yuan Qi said angrily: "The only barrier of the Xiliang Army is the Tiger Prison Heavenly Danger, now that the Tiger Prison Pass has fallen into our hands, the Xiliang Army has no barrier to rely on, does Ding think that my coalition army of 200,000 can't withstand the tens of thousands of remnants of the Xiliang Army?"
Yuan Ding was speechless when asked. In fact, in this matter, not only Yuan Ding was unwilling to pursue, but most of the princes present also did not want to pursue. First, Qi Tian's courage is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although he was stabbed in the left shoulder by Yuan Qi, but it is always the biggest uneasy factor in the hearts of all princes; second, if he really catches up, there will inevitably be a tragic hand-to-hand encounter, and it is not easy for the big guys to save some people and horses, and no one wants to consume their own men and horses like this; third, even if they catch up and defeat the Xiliang army, in the end, all their reputations, The benefits will all fall on the head of Yuan Qi, the leader of the coalition forces, and the other princes will at most get a piece of the pie, such a thankless task, who is willing to do it? Only three or four people, including Unomiya Terulie, Sun Jian, and Gongsun Ruyun, are willing to do such a stupid thing.
Although he had a clear plan in his heart, after all, he couldn't say it on the surface, especially not to Yuan Qi, Yuan Ding and the others were silent.
A rush of footsteps shattered the temporary silence in the hall.
Everyone turned his head to look and saw Unomiya Terulie walking in from outside the mansion with an unkempt face and covered in blood. Unomiya Terulie scattered his hair, looked around the hall, took in everyone's expressions, and with a little calculation in his heart, he had already guessed what had just happened.
Walking to the table, picking up an unused wine glass, pouring a full glass of wine, Unomiya Terulie smiled sadly, and then raised his glass and drank it all. Swallowing the last drop of wine in the cup, Unomiya Terulie suddenly roared angrily, slammed the wine glass on the ground, and shouted loudly: "The vertical is not enough!"
When Yuan Ding saw Ugong Zhaolie's appearance, he knew that Ugong Zhaolie must have lost the battle, and he couldn't help but stiffen his waist again, and smiled at Ugong Zhaolie: "Brother Zhaolie, but you cut off the head of Qi Tian and returned with a complete victory?"
Ugong Terulie laughed, stretched out his hands, and showed the already somewhat torn clothes on his body in front of Yuan Ding to the greatest extent after the war, and said: "Where did you see that a certain victory has been won?
As soon as the words changed, Ugong Terulie continued: "But, why did you suffer such a fiasco? It's you! It's you who are greedy for life and afraid of death! You support your own troops, are greedy for life and fear of death, and refuse to send troops to pursue the Xiliang army, and a certain lonely palm is difficult to sing, so you have today's fiasco!"
Yuan Bai had already been shattered by Yuan Qi's Chitian Divine Sword, who expected that the peak would turn around, and Ugong Zhaolie would be defeated and returned, which proved that it was correct for the princes from all walks of life to stand still, so he smiled happily: "Brother Zhaolie, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, why be so annoyed? It's too bad to be a general." ”
Yuan Qi said coldly: "Shut up all of them, immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses, chase and kill the Xiliang army, and be sure to eliminate this force before the Xiliang army retreats into the capital." ”
Yuan Bai said with compassion: "Yuan Junhou is so majestic, although you are the leader of the alliance and have the Red Heaven Divine Sword in your hand, you can't joke with the lives of 200,000 soldiers of my coalition army!
The other princes who were of the same heart as the Yuan brothers also said: "Yes, Marquis Yuan, is it too hasty to send troops now?" "It can be seen from the defeat of Ugong Zhaolie that the Xiliang army must have been prepared for a long time, and this pursuit, don't mention it." "It's true that Yuan Junhou is the leader of the alliance, and it is not false that the Chitian Divine Sword is the Taizu Holy Weapon, but these are not enough for our army to take a huge risk to carry out Yuan Junhou's wrong orders, and that is related to the lives of more than 200,000 allied soldiers." ”
Seeing that there were many people, in line with the principle that the law does not blame the people, he openly disrespected the order, and Yuan Qi's face turned pale. If it were a family of two princes, Yuan Qi could still use strong means to suppress different voices, but now, more than a dozen princes have united to resist him, and the situation is a little bad.
At this moment, Yuan Qi truly realized that he had been ignoring a big problem all along, that is, the problem of his attitude towards the noble class. Youzhou is in the northernmost part, where there have been Xinman, Thorn Tower and Xianbei invasion for many years, and years of fighting have made a large number of scholars who originally lived in Youzhou have moved to the Central Plains, so Youzhou is the place with the smallest number of scholars and the weakest influence, which also led to Yuan Qi's lack of understanding of the power of the scholars, thus seriously underestimating the influence of the scholars.
Take the matter in front of him as an example, when the princes of all walks of life who are scholars unite to resist Yuan Qi together, Yuan Qi has no way to control the situation at all, if it is in Youzhou, the influence of the Shi clan is not so great, Yuan Qi only needs to be ruthless, one sword at a time, and kill all the people who oppose him in front of him. But in the Central Plains, this method obviously does not work, others don't say it, just talking about the Yuan brothers, it is not something that Yuan Qi can easily handle. Yuan Ding, Yuan Bai and Yuan Yi, the three children of the Yuan family, behind them are the entire Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, and the protégés are all over the world, once they can't bear this breath and kill them, I am afraid that they will be difficult in the future, and they will be resisted by the Yuan family everywhere. The most important point is that although the relationship between the scholars is not too harmonious, once there is a threat from an external force, the local scholars will definitely work together to unswervingly fight against this external force until this force is completely wiped out. Now Yuan Qi is facing almost half of the world's scholar power, and when these scholars twist into a rope, their strength is far beyond the limit that Yuan Qi can withstand at present.
The scene fell silent again. Yuan Qi held the Red Sky Divine Sword, but he couldn't slash the Red Sky towards the head of anyone in the field. After all, the Chitian Divine Sword is a dead thing, but the power of the scholar clan is composed of living people, and in front of many princes from the scholar clan, the Chitian Divine Sword has lost its due power.
Unomiya Terulie laughed, took two steps forward, grabbed Yuan Qi's arm and walked out. Behind him, Yuan Ding's pretended retention: "Prince, Zhaolie, what are you doing, come back quickly and discuss the plan!"
Ugong Zhaolie stopped, turned back to Yuan Ding and said, "A certain and Yuan Junhou are determined to go to hunt down and kill the Xiliang Army, do you want to come together?"
Yuan Ding smiled and said teasingly: "Still chasing and killing, don't you think you lost badly enough?"
Yuan Qi inserted the Chitian Divine Sword back into the scabbard, glanced at Yuan Ding coldly, and said loudly: "Although Zhaolie was defeated, his courage and courage are comparable to the sun and the moon. Wait, a bunch of scruples. The Xiliang army has been defeated, and his heart must be relaxed, and he never imagined that there would be chasing soldiers after the chasing soldiers. At this time, those who are not afraid of death can go with Ben Hou!"
Gongsun Ruyun didn't say a word, strode to Yuan Qi's side, and made his position clear. Wang Kuang hesitated slightly, then strengthened his mind and walked to Yuan Qi's side. With the exception of these two, the rest of the princes stood still, without moving a single step under their feet.
Unomiya Terulie watched coldly, and said to the people who were standing still: "At the time of parting, there is a word to tell you. Unomiya Terulie was born between heaven and earth, and he was worthy of the sky and the earth. I thought I could participate in the grand event with you, but who expected to end up like this today, Unomiya Terulie is ashamed to be with you again, and I will say goodbye today, you can do it yourself. ”
After speaking, Unomiya Terulie walked out without looking back. Yuan Qi sighed, didn't even bother to say anything about the scene, waved his hand to Gongsun Ruyun and Wang Kuang, and walked out of the hall with the footsteps of Ugong Terulie.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei fell behind, the two of them had a tiger face, each stretched out their thick middle fingers, and compared with Yuan Ding and the others, the disdain on their faces was overflowing, and then they also turned away.
