"Now that you have been captured, what else can you say to kill or chop, listen to it" Yuan Shu sighed faintly, trying his best to maintain the demeanor of a famous person in the world, not to let himself look too embarrassed.
The emperor also did it, and he enjoyed everything that should be enjoyed, and now it's worth it to die Liu Weixing's eyes turned, thinking about how to deal with Yuan Shu in order to get the greatest benefit It is certainly a pleasure to behead the public, and even divide the corpses of the five horses, but Shouchun's Yuan Jun is afraid that he will still resist desperately, after all, Ji Ling has followed Yuan Shu for many years, and he belongs to Yuan Shu's hardcore friend, and that loyal minister is not comparable to ordinary people.
"If Yuan Shu's life is spared, how much benefit will it bring?"
"At least you can take Shouchun without blood, maybe Wancheng can also be at your fingertips" Liu Wei frowned, and asked himself in his heart.
Although it was said before that it was not the best strategy to storm Wancheng, it would even be better to give Nanyang to Cao Cao as a buffer zone.
But the situation on the battlefield is always changing, and it is obviously foolish to limit yourself to the rules and regulations.
A few days ago, Liu Bowen and Xun Yu said that the strong attack on Wancheng is the next policy, which is based on the premise of forcibly attacking the city, with the thick walls of Wancheng and the strong army of Wancheng, if you want to break the city, you will inevitably pay a huge price for casualties But now after Yuan Shu was captured, the situation was completely different, the 30,000 horses in Wancheng were at least Yuan Shu's subordinates, as long as Yuan Shu opened his mouth, he could take Wancheng without blood.
It doesn't take a single soldier to expand the territory, so why not Thinking of this, Liu Wei slowly moved the tip of the spear on Yuan Shu's neck, and said in a deep voice: "You traitor disregards the kindness of the Han family, arrogates the emperor, you should have punished your nine clans, for the sake of your Yuan family's loyalty and goodness for several generations, I can spare you from dying, but you must order the defenders of Shouchun and Wancheng to open the door and surrender."
Yuan Shu sneered: "You think I will easily believe you" Liu Wei put the tip of the gun against the back of Yuan Shu's head again: "Believe it or not, cutting off your head and telling the world is also a good thing to establish my prestige, if you can't exchange Wancheng and Shouchun for your life, I have to choose the former."
As Liu Wei spoke, with a slight force in his hand, blood instantly came out of the back of Yuan Shu's head, and he howled like a pig in pain, "It hurts me, it hurts me."
Liu Wei sneered: "When I take you to Jinling to be cut with a thousand knives, and you will be punished by Ling Chi or divided into five horses, you will know what is really better than death."
After listening to Liu Wei's words, Yuan Shu's face was as pale as earth, and when he thought of the pain of the tortured, he suddenly felt weak and weak.
"Liu argues that you are ruthless, if you want to take Shouchun and Wancheng without blood, you must tell the world, exempt me from responsibility, and do not treat me with any punishment, otherwise you will kill me."
Yuan Shu lay on the horse's back softly, and bargained with Liu weakly.
Although it was already at the end of the road, Yuan Shu still wanted to grasp the last straw.
Liu Wei sneered: "Cao Cao's army is estimated to arrive at Wanxian County at noon tomorrow, and after I announce it to the world, Wancheng will already be Cao Cao's."
"Then you give an edict in front of the soldiers of the three armies, exempt me from my guilt, and I will order Qiao Rui to sacrifice Wancheng" The sharp spear tip was pressed against the back of his head, and the pain was unbearable, so Yuan Shu had to take another step back.
Man is the flesh of the fish, and I am the sword.
No matter how Yuan Shu jumps, he can't jump out of the palm of his hand, as long as he wants, he can end Yuan Shu's life like crushing an ant at any time, violent illness, poisoning, hanging, drowning, falling from a horse, and losing his footing are enough for any reason "I agree to your request, and I will issue an edict to absolve you of your sins in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies."
It was already completely dark, and from time to time there was the mournful cry of war horses and the groans of those who were about to die.
The battle came and ended quickly, from the two armies to the Yuan soldiers scattered and fled, before and after it was only an hour's effort, 3,000 Yuan Shu's personal soldiers killed more than 1,500 people, were captured more than 500 people, and the rest scattered and fled.
The Han army only paid the price of 200 casualties, and the strong combat effectiveness still made the captured Yuan soldiers still feel uneasy.
After a short period of effort, Ma Zhong returned with an ambush and escorted back more than 300 captives, including Yuan Shu's strategist Yan Xiang, Yuan Lian, Han Yin and others Liu Wei sent someone to quickly recruit Liu Bowen, told the conversation with Yuan Shu just now, and proposed to immediately order Qin Qiong to lead his troops to march to Wancheng overnight, and the two armies would meet under Wancheng and enter Wancheng before Cao's army "The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, Your Majesty's words are the best policy, just march overnight to take Wancheng before Cao Cao" Liu Bowen cranked his feather fan and expressed his deep approval of Liu Bian's decision.
Liu Wei immediately summoned an envoy and ordered him to carry his own token and hurry to Anyang sixty miles away from himNote 1, and ordered Qin Qiong to lead his troops to march to Wancheng overnight, striving to meet the two armies under Wancheng before dawn.
After the envoy left, Yuan Shu immediately shouted loudly: "If you don't give an edict in front of the soldiers of the three armies, I will never call you to open the city gate."
Liu Wei happily satisfied Yuan Shu's request, and said loudly: "I hereby declare in the name of the Son of Heaven that Yuan Shu will be exempted from the crime of trespassing, and as long as he can make the defenders of Wancheng and Shouchun open the door and surrender, I will no longer hold him accountable."
After Liu Wei finished the edict, he ordered Ma Zhong to lead his troops to guard Yuan Shu's father and son and a cadre of his staff, and follow the team to Wancheng overnight.
Strive to arrive at Wanxian before the siege of the Cao army, if the city is besieged by the Cao army, and then want to take Wancheng without blood, I am afraid that it will not be so easy.
In order to prevent the carriage from slowing down the march, Liu Wei selected a centurion and asked him to lead a hundred horsemen to escort Yue Yun's mother and son back to Runan Zhizhi Pingyu overnight, and escorted all the captured Yuan Shu's female dependents back to Runan.
When they returned to Jiangdong, they sent someone to inform them.
At first, Yue Yun shouted that he wanted to follow the army to Wancheng, but Liu Wei pulled down his face and reprimanded him, and warned him: "If you don't listen to my orders, I won't cast a golden hammer for you, you should continue to use this pair of wheels."
Yue Yun begged in vain, and was afraid that the Son of Heaven would really not make a sledgehammer for himself, so he had to go north in the team returning to Runan, looking back in three steps, with all kinds of attachment and reluctance.
"The whole army accelerated and rushed to Wancheng overnight" Liu Wei waved his horsewhip and took the lead to the west.
The high-morale Imperial Forest Army escorted Yuan Shu and other prisoners, galloped on horseback, and followed closely behind the Son of Heaven's horse.
A night of madness.
Four hours later, the men and horses led by Liu Wei were less than ten miles away from Wancheng, and they met the four thousand advance cavalry led by Qin Qiong at the fork in the road.
The more than 10,000 infantry in the back, led by the adjutant general, were marching towards Wancheng, but they were still thrown away by the light cavalry for nearly forty miles.
The two joined forces together, and the morale of the army was suddenly greatly excited.
With the help of the fierce general Qin Qiong, Liu Wei suddenly had confidence, with Qin Qiong in the presence of thousands of troops, even if there was a conflict with Cao Bing, there was no need to worry "The last general, Qin Shubao, pays a visit to His Majesty" Qin Qiong came to the front and turned over and dismounted, and saluted to the Son of Heaven on the horse.
After getting up, he grinned: "I heard that His Majesty said that His Majesty slashed dozens of Yuan soldiers and captured Yuan Shu, a national thief, which is really an admirable martial art, although Han Wu and Guangwu are not as good as it."
Qin Qiong finished praising the Son of Heaven, and strode in front of Yuan Shu and rewarded him with a slap: "Haha, with your pig brain, you dare to call the emperor the emperor was captured by a certain person in the Tiger Prison Pass before, and this time he was captured by His Majesty, it seems that you were born to be captured alive."
"You are also a descendant of the Yuan family, after the fourth generation and the third duke, you dare to bully me even if you are a martial artist" Yuan Shu hugged the hot cheeks and refuted Qin Qiong unwillingly.
"Whew" Qin Qiong spat Yuan Shu and spit on Xingzi: "If your ancestor knows that you are arrogant and the emperor, I am afraid that I will jump out of the tomb and smoke your big mouth, and if I can't open the city gate later, see how Qin Ye tortures you."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Qiong turned over and got on the horse, holding a gold stove gun, and the thunder flickered under his crotch, leading the way.
The two armies merged in one place, nearly 6,000 cavalry, and marched towards Wancheng.

At this moment, it is already the fourth watch, and the east is slightly bright.
The autumn breeze blows in the early morning, making people feel cool.
After walking forward for five or six miles, the scout rode a fast horse and reported: "The vanguard of Cao's army has set up camp in the north of Wancheng twenty miles, and it seems that they are waiting for the arrival of the main army, and they have not yet arrived in the city.
And the main force led by Cao Cao is marching overnight, and it has already passed Bowang County, and it is estimated that the army will be able to come to the city at noon."
After listening to the scout's words, Liu Wei and Liu Bowen's hanging hearts finally landed, and the most worrying thing was that Cao Jun besieged Wancheng.
And now, at last, we can get into the city first After another walk of incense, six thousand cavalry arrived at the city of Wanxian.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves and the flying dust had already alarmed the bridges defending the city.
And the scouts of the Cao army also detected the traces of the Han cavalry, and quickly reported to the Cao army's forward general Xiahoudun.
Liu Wei sent several envoys to follow Yan Xiang to the moat, conveyed the news of the capture of Yuan Shu to Qiao Rui, and told him that as long as he opened the door and surrendered, he would definitely be given the position of general Yuan Shu himself led the strategists to slip away, Qiao Rui had no intention of fighting, and couldn't sleep all night, thinking over and over again whether he should open the door and surrender to Cao Cao.
At this moment, listening to the words of Yan Xiang and the messenger of the Son of Heaven, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Open the door, open the door for me, I was going to take refuge in the Son of Heaven" With the order of the bridge, the south gate of Wanxian County was opened and the suspension bridge was put down.
Qiao Rui led the partial generals and captains in the city to pay homage to the holy car, and knelt down in front of the Son of Heaven to ask for guilt: "The criminal minister Qiao Rui visited the Son of Heaven, and hoped that His Majesty would cross the grand scale and spare the life of the guilty minister."
There are still 30,000 horses in the city, so Liu Wei naturally wants to be appeased, and he also wants Ji Ling to see how he treats the generals.
At that moment, he personally dismounted and lifted up Qiao Rui, and announced: "The sin of the past lies in Yuan Shu, not in waiting for these civil and military staff, tonight you can repent and open the city gate, not only can you be exempted, but I will also crown you as the general of Fengyi."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity" Qiao Rui cried bitterly and knelt on the ground to thank him, and the generals and lieutenants behind him also followed suit.
If you change the son of heaven, you can still keep the position of general, and you are lucky.
In the noisy atmosphere, Liu Wei gained more than 20 pleasure points, but the situation was urgent, and he ignored the system for the time being.
He immediately ordered the whole army to enter the city, and ordered Qin Qiong to take over the defense of Wancheng.
The whole army went to the top of the city to stand guard, strictly preventing Cao soldiers from attacking, and there must be no carelessness.
Twenty miles away from the Cao army camp.
After listening to the report, the pioneer general Xiahoudun was shocked into a cold sweat: "What Yuan Shu actually opened the door and surrendered to the Son of Heaven in Jiangdong, what is going on?"
Dian Wei, who was burly and fierce like the evil of the ancients, and Wang Yanzhang, who was a tiger's back, stomped his feet and scolded at the same time: "This dog emperor is really hateful, we fought all the way to the death, but he came to pick ready-made fruits, it is unbearable It is better to take advantage of the fact that the Jiangdong army has just entered the city and has not yet gained a stable foothold, let's rush into the city in one go, and arrest Yuan Shu and Liu Wei together."
Note 1 This Anyang is the county seat under the jurisdiction of Runan County in the late Han Dynasty, in the east direction of Wancheng, not the current Anyang City, about 120 miles away from Wancheng, the seat of Nanyang. t1706231537:
