At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

The person who led the team to rush here was Cao Xiu. Seeing that Han Yin and the man beside him were dressed in extraordinary clothes and official uniforms, he immediately realized that they were two officials.

So Cao Xiu ordered his deputy to continue to lead the team forward, while he stopped for a while, and ordered the soldiers to arrest the two together.

"Who are you?"

Cao Xiu asked sharply.

"How can a thief deserve to hear my name!"

Han Yin clenched his teeth and jumped out word by word.

"The mouth is still quite hard, okay, come here, tie it up, and take it out!"

Cao Xiu waved his hand: "That's right, stop the bleeding for him, this is a big fish, don't let him die!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, Cao Xiu's personal soldiers handled the matter for Cao Xiu.

Afterwards, Cao Xiu immediately led his troops and continued to charge forward.

He knew very well that now all the generals were vying for the credit for being the first to capture Yuan Shu, as long as he could be the first to capture Yuan Shu and offer it to Guo Peng, then the credit would naturally go without saying.

To be in the forefront, this credit must be in the forefront to grab it to be the best!

The credit is taken!

Among other things, Cao Xiu ran so fast that he really deserved to go all the way from Yangzhou to Qingzhou to join Guo Peng. .

Chapter 445. 440 The kings of the four subjugated countries dare to speak wild words?

Yuan Shu did not know at this time that the resistance of his last loyal subjects was over.

The guards scattered like birds and beasts, and now besides some servants and maids, there are only concubines by his side.

A group of women and children, not even one who can resist with a weapon.

The shouts of Guo Jun's soldiers were right in front of his eyes, but he was helpless.

Yuan Shu didn't want to experience this feeling anyway.

Hearing the sound of killing, the women in the palace turned pale with fright and hid behind Yuan Shu's throne. Only those men who were not considered men were left in the whole hall.

But at this time, it was these men who were not considered men who stood up.

"Your Majesty has shown great kindness to us. He fed us well and gave us warm clothes. The villains have nothing to repay His Majesty, except for one humble life. I would like to repay Your Majesty's kindness with one humble life."

Yuan Shu's close eunuch rushed out of the hall with more than 30 servants armed with knives, and intercepted Cao Xiu's troops who were the first to rush into the hall at the entrance of the hall.

"The guards are all gone, is it your turn to resist?"

Cao Xiu sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the two rows of crossbowmen took a step forward, the front row squatted down, and the back row stood up.

"put!"

Two rows of crossbow arrows were fired immediately, more than half of the more than 30 servants fell down in an instant, and then the second round of volleys, all the servants fell down, and only Yuan Shu's close eunuch was left half-kneeling with a knife , forced not to fall.

Cao Xiu looked at this eunuch who was still standing upright with arrows in his body, he was a little surprised.

So he said to the soldiers beside him: "Some people don't lack in everything physically, but they are soft-headed, and they are terribly cowardly. Although some people are physically incomplete, their courage is enough to make up for their physical defects. Although Yuan Shu is A big man's traitor, but there are always one or two courageous people around him."

So Cao Xiu went straight forward, raised his saber and pointed it at the eunuch.

"I am Cao Xiu, Cao Wenlie, the Jiande school lieutenant under General Guo. I will kill you personally. You should be content."

After all, Cao Xiu slashed down with his knife and beheaded the great eunuch, but he couldn't say a single word from the beginning to the end.

The last line of defense was destroyed, Cao Xiu decisively led his men into the palace, followed by hundreds of soldiers, rushed into the palace in a hurry, skipped the luxurious decorations, and went straight to the core.

When Cao Xiu broke into the palace, Yuan Shu was still dreaming.

I feel that I still have someone to protect me, someone who can kill the enemy for me, stop the enemy army, and I can still be the emperor for a while, but Feng seems to have expected something.

So Feng knelt down in front of Yuan Shu.

"Your Majesty, as the Queen of Chen, your Majesty's wife will never be captured by the enemy. In order to damage His Majesty's reputation, I am determined to die. Your Majesty, see you in the next life!"

After finishing speaking, Feng resolutely raised a short knife and wiped his neck, and fell down at Yuan Shu's feet, blood gradually spreading under his body.

The women screamed one after another, Yuan Shu didn't say a word, his body trembled slightly, he closed his eyes after a while, and shed two drops of tears.

"As expected of Yuan Gonglu's wife!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu opened his eyes, wiped away his tears, stood up with strength, took the dagger from Feng's hand, then turned his head and looked at the women hiding behind his emperor's throne.

There are nobles who serve him, palace ladies who have been favored or not, and underage sons and daughters.

"Have you seen the queen's feat?"

Yuan Shu asked like this.

No one answered her, and everyone looked at Yuan Shu with fearful eyes, as if they realized something.

"You are the women, children, and servants of Emperor Chen. You are the closest people to Emperor Chen. When Chen is dead, you are all subjugated slaves! You will be humiliated, humiliated, and your life will be worse than death. The queen knows that Such an ending, so I chose to commit suicide to preserve my dignity, and you, don’t you want to preserve your own dignity?"

Yuan Shu's complexion gradually became serious, and the knife in his hand was tightly gripped.

Everyone trembled in fear, their faces changed drastically, and they kept stepping back.

Facing Yuan Shu's pressing force, they all realized what Yuan Shu wanted to do.

That would be a very scary thing.

"Do you want to join the enemy and survive?"

"You, as a lonely nobleman, do you want to cling to the enemy who destroys the country, and make fun of yourself to survive?"

"A Tao! You are Gu's son, don't you want to die with Gu?"

Yuan Shuhong looked at the group of people closest to him, his breathing gradually became rapid, his chest heaved violently, and he didn't know where the strength came from. Suddenly, he rushed in front of the most favored nobleman in the past, and stabbed her ribcage.

The beautiful nobleman looked at Yuan Shu's ferocious face in disbelief, vomited a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground dead.

As she fell, the screams sounded again, one after another, very ear-piercing.

Yuan Shu was overwhelmed by the disturbance, holding a short knife, slashing and thrusting repeatedly, killing five or six nobles and palace maids who had served him in a row, blood spattered all over his body and face.

This was not enough, Yuan Shu killed his two little daughters again with red eyes, looking at the last youngest son who cried to the point of collapse because of fear, Yuan Shu cried out hoarsely, raised his dagger, and chopped himself to death youngest son.

"If you want to blame, blame you for being Yuan Gonggong's woman! You are Yuan Gonggong's child! If you want to blame, blame Guo Zifeng! He killed you! Remember to seek revenge from Guo Zifeng in the next life! Seek revenge from Guo Zifeng!!"

Yuan Shu was close to the brink of collapse, raised his dagger and stabbed it into the chest of a fallen nobleman, killing her.

The other nobles and court ladies who were lucky enough to survive escaped everywhere, panicked and ran into the army led by Cao Xiu when they fled.

Seeing the woman running out of the palace, Cao Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then ordered decisively.

"Catch them all and tie them up! Don't hurt your life!"

"Yes!"

Excitedly, the soldiers knocked down these women one by one, and then tied them up.

Cao Xiu continued to charge forward with the remaining soldiers and horses, turned a corner, and rushed into a hall.

There was no one standing in the hall, only a man in a yellow robe with disheveled hair and blood all over his body sat on the big seat directly in front of the hall.

The man had messy white hair and couldn't see his face clearly, but his identity was almost revealed.

Cao Xiu led his soldiers and horses forward slowly, and when he got closer, he saw this man staring at them.

"Who is coming?!"

Yuan Shu roared loudly.

"Cao Xiu, Captain of Jiande under the command of General Guo Zifeng of the Peking University!"

Cao Xiu reported his name.

"Surnamed Cao, Cao Mengde's clansman, it seems that Guo Zifeng is very important, hahaha, yes, yes, after the thief who betrayed his master is used as an eunuch, it's just right, just right, hahahahahahahahaha!"

Yuan Shu raised his head and laughed, mocking Guo Peng as a traitor and Cao Xiu as an eunuch.

Cao Xiu's complexion changed, and with a wave of his hand, three or five soldiers rushed forward and captured Yuan Shu.

"Let go of me! I am the Emperor Chen! I am the Emperor! What are you guys! How dare you catch me! How dare you catch me!!!"

Yuan Shu roared with red face.

Cao Xiu stepped forward and punched Yuan Shu in the face.

"what!"

Yuan Shu let out a cry of pain, his nose bleeding.

"The subjugated king still dares to speak wild words? Bind! Wait for the general to come, and hand it over to the general!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Shu continued to roar, but this did not prevent the soldiers from tying him up.

After Cao Xiu looked at Yuan Shu's throne, he saw more than a dozen dead people.

There were women and children, and they frowned, feeling that these might be Yuan Shu's concubines and children.

This was also true, but Cao Xiu didn't find it strange.

This couldn't be more normal.

Chapter 446. 440 five everything will be different from the past

Knowing that the country is going to be destroyed, and worried about being humiliated, so she killed her own women and children in advance. This is the standard in ancient and modern times, and it is not surprising at all.

In a sense, this is also one of the risks that the royal family needs to take.

Before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, if they belonged to the royal family of the orthodox dynasty, they might receive certain preferential treatment. This is to show the tolerance and generosity of the new dynasty and the orthodoxy of the throne, one of the three ke.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu was not the founder of the orthodox dynasty, but a rebel, a fool who wanted to be the emperor and wanted to be crazy.

His close family members will not receive any pardon and will all be beheaded.

From this point of view, Yuan Shu still has a bit of a head, knowing that he can relieve the pain of his family members. If these people are still alive, they will inevitably be executed after receiving unimaginable punishment.

It is not an exaggeration to be wiped out of the clan for committing such a serious crime. If they are killed completely, there is no place to justify it.

They all committed their own deaths, so who could be blamed?

After Cao Xiu captured Yuan Shu, he sent someone to guard Yuan Shu in the palace, and then led the soldiers to guard outside.

He also tied up the women who had been captured before, and made them kneel at the gate of the palace, waiting to welcome Guo Peng, and by the way show his credit.

Cao Xiu stood proudly at the gate of the palace, listening to the more intense shouts of killing in his ears, his face was full of smug smiles.

After a while, Cao Hong rushed over anxiously, his face was covered with blood, and his eyes were red. When he rushed to see Cao Xiu standing here calmly, he was very annoyed.

With the last glimmer of hope in mind, Cao Hong stepped forward to ask Cao Xiu.

"Wen Lie, Yuan Gonglu..."

"It's inside, I've already caught it, Captain Cao, I'm sorry, I've already made it to the top!"

Cao Xiu looked at his uncle terrified.

"Alas!"

Cao Hong was dejected, facing his nephew, he was really embarrassed to take credit with his nephew, but he was going crazy thinking about making meritorious deeds, walking around, feeling so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to commit suicide.

Cao Xiu really couldn't bear Cao Hong's appearance, and thought that he was his uncle after all, so he had no choice but to offer to give half of the credit to Cao Hong, saying that the two of them got the first credit together.

"Really? Wen Lie, are you not lying to me?"

"Of course it's true, uncle, how could I lie to uncle?"

Cao Xiu looked sincere.

Cao Hong was so moved that tears were about to fall, he really wanted the credit too much, and now half of the credit for capturing Yuan Shu alive was given to him, and he immediately saw the hope of reinstatement.
