Chapter 83: Foreshadowing
Only one day later, Wen Ping led the army to break through the county town of Liling, where the Su Dynasty was entrenched, captured the Su Dynasty alive, and surrendered all of them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć However, Huang Zhong and Xu Huang encountered a little trouble when attacking Changsha City.
Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, was only fifteen years old, but he was extremely brave, and he fought with Huang Zhong for more than 30 years. Huang Zhong saw that it was difficult to win, so he sold a flaw and turned his horse away. Sun Ce didn't know what the plan was, coupled with his youth and vigor, he chased after him, and was shot in the shoulder socket by Huang Zhong with a reflexive arrow, and fell off the horse. The sergeants rushed up and captured him.
Xu Huang took the opportunity to wave his army to cover up the killing, and rushed straight into Changsha City. The soldiers in the city were outnumbered and could not resist, and they were finally conquered by the Xiangyang army. Sun Jian, his subordinate generals, and Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing, who remained in the city, were all taken prisoner.
At the same time, clan leaders from all over Jingzhou also led their troops to Xiangyang one after another. Sure enough, as Kuai Yue expected, these clan leaders were greedy by nature, and when they heard that Wei Xuan would promise them high-ranking officials, they came one after another, without the slightest suspicion. Wei Xuan was not idle, he inquired from all sides, and knew that the so-called prestige of these clan leaders was actually oppressive with power, and most of the villagers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. And these clan leaders took the opportunity to run rampant in the township, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil.
At this point, Wei Xuan finally made up his mind, set up a banquet in the Assassin's Mansion, and invited the clan leaders to come to the banquet, a total of fifty-five came. Wei Xuan pre-laid the ambush soldiers, and killed them all by throwing cups during the banquet. He also incorporated all the militia brought by these clan leaders, and there were more than 20,000 people.
On the second day after Wei Xuan killed the clan leader, Wen Ping escorted Su Dai and Xu Huang escorted Sun Jian's family and returned to Xiangyang respectively, while Huang Zhong stayed in Changsha City. Wei Xuan ordered Su Dai and Sun Jing to be beheaded in the city of Cao, and the audience was like a cloud for a while. Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other family members were imprisoned in the Assassin's Mansion.
Before Wei Xuan could deal with these family members, he overheard the city gate guard, and a general surnamed Fan asked to bring troops into the city.
It turned out that Fan Chou received Dong Zhuo's order to go to Qian County to capture Cao Cao's family, and he didn't want to return to the country, the Kwantung princes had already raised troops, and the road was blocked, so he couldn't go back to Luoyang for a while, so he could only go west. I heard that Wei Xuan had made the history of Jingzhou Thorn, so he rushed to defect.
Wei Xuan was still nominally on Dong Zhuo's side, so naturally it was not easy to turn Fan Chou away, so he went to greet him in person. When they arrived outside the east gate, they saw thousands of military horses surrounded by more than a dozen prisoner carts, but the people in the carts were all women, and they couldn't help but wonder: "Where are Cao Cao's father, brothers and sons?"
Fan Chou sighed and said: "The thief is strong, Fan is afraid that the remnants of the thief will be robbed by the thief, so he has to kill his father Cao Song, younger brother Cao De, eldest son Cao Ang, and second son Cao Pi on the road.
Wei Xuan asked in surprise, "How old is Cao Cao's second son?"
Fan Chou said: "Cao Ang is nine years old, and Cao Pi is three years old. ā
Wei Xuan said unhappily: "It's just two children, what are you doing to kill them, how can you do it!"
Fan Chou said nonchalantly: "Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, it has been like this since ancient times!"
Of course, Wei Xuan understood this truth, but if he was asked to kill a child under the age of ten, he would not be able to do it anyway. What's more, this is a mirrored space-time, a virtual world, and there are less than nine years left for him. In nine years, these children are far from becoming adults, let alone threatening him.
Of course, Wei Xuan didn't bother to reason with Fan Chou, but said lightly: "Nanyang Yuan Shu, Chen Liu, and Zhang Miao have rebelled, and General Fan wants to return to Luoyang, so he can only leave all the soldiers and horses here, and only lead more than ten followers to sneak in disguise." ā
Fan Chou was suddenly puzzled: "I'm only afraid that Lord Taiwei will blame." ā
Wei Xuan sneered: "In this case, Wei can't help it." In addition, all the money and grain in Xiangyang City were plundered by Sun Jian, and General Fan was asked to raise them by himself, but Wei was unable to do anything. ā
Fan Chou walked all the way here from Qian County, and the money and food he carried had long been exhausted. Now, Wei Xuan neither provided him with food and grass, nor allowed him to disturb the people, clearly deliberately making things difficult for him. But people can't help but bow their heads under the low eaves. Fan Chou had no choice but to say: "Fan followed Lord Wei's words, but also asked Lord Wei to help him with some entanglement." ā
Wei Xuan laughed at this time and said, "It's good to say, Wei should give a hundred taels of silver." However, General Fan was also asked to leave the heads of Cao Ang and Cao Pi behind. ā
He knew that with Dong Zhuo's temperament, if these heads were sent to Luoyang, they would definitely be humiliated, so that people would not be able to live in peace even if they died. The others are just that, but the two children Cao Ang and Cao Pi are a little innocent.
Fan Chou heard that there were 100 taels of silver as a gift, so he didn't care about the heads of the two children, so he immediately agreed. He was afraid that Wei Xuan would regret it, and after handing over the soldiers and horses, he led more than a dozen henchmen and took the heads of Cao Song and Cao De to Luoyang. Of course, before leaving, he also got the news that Wei Xuan captured Changsha and captured Sun Jian's family.
After Fan Chou left, Wei Xuan looked at the two bloody packages, shook his head secretly, and instructed left and right: "Please ask a few skilled carpenters, carve your body, choose a good place, and bury it properly." He also ordered: "Cao Cao's wife Ding, concubines Liu, Bian, Cao Song, and Cao De's wives and concubines will be taken into custody in the palace first, and then sent down." ā
Left and right gave up their promises and went their separate ways. When the prisoner car passed by Wei Xuan, one of the beautiful women in their thirties suddenly bowed to Wei Xuan and said softly, "Thank you, sir." ā
Wei Xuan saw that the woman had a sad face, but he was a little relieved, obviously thanking Wei Xuan for what he had done for Cao Ang and Cao Pi, the two children who died tragically. Being able to remain calm in this situation and not forgetting to say thank you, this woman is also a strange woman. Among Cao Cao's wives and concubines, I am afraid that the only one who can do this is Cao Pi's biological mother, Mrs. Bian, who was born in a family.
For Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who were powerful figures in the Three Kingdoms era, Wei Xuan still has some admiration in his heart. Now, the families of these two people have fallen into the hands of Wei Xuan, and how to deal with them makes him a little difficult.
At this time, Jia Xu and Dian Wei came back from Nanyang. Wei Xuan put aside the distracting thoughts for the time being, calmed down a little, and asked, "Wenhe, evil, how is the situation in Nanyang?"
Dian Wei grinned and said: "Yuan Shu has already led troops to the Tiger Prison Pass to join Yuan Shao, and now only Ji Ling, a puppet, is left in Wancheng, and the city is empty." The lord, please give his subordinates a military horse, Wancheng can be broken overnight!"
Wei Xuan frowned and said: "Ji Ling is a famous general under Yuan Shu, and he must not be taken lightly when he is evil. ā
In his impression, Ji Ling should be the first general under Yuan Shu, who can fight Guan Yu for more than 30 rounds. And Yuan Shu sent troops to recruit Dong Zhuo, but left Ji Ling behind, obviously with the intention of preserving his strength. In fact, it was not only Yuan Shu who had this thought, Yuan Shao also did not bring the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou. The Kwantung princes refused to do their best, and it was no wonder that Dong Zhuo could not be defeated.
Just as Wei Xuan was sighing, he saw Jia Xu smiling and saying, "What General Dian said is not bad, but the lord is too worried." With the foreshadowing laid by the lord in advance, Wancheng is at your fingertips!"
