Three Kingdoms Eschatology

But no one in the hall immediately responded to Cao Pi's words, and fell into silence.Everyone knows that Cao Pi's request is impossible to realize. Now counting the dispirited generals and remnants in Yecheng, there are only five or six thousand soldiers in total. How can they fight against tens of thousands of Liang troops.Even if you try your best to stick to it, it will be a matter of time before the city is broken.

After a long time, Cheng Yufang sighed and said: "Your Majesty, let's face the reality. This city of Ye cannot be defended, and our Great Wei... also..."

Unexpectedly, Sima Yi, who was still kneeling on the ground and unable to raise his head, said, "Your Majesty, the Liang army outside the city must be just a small group of rangers. Don't panic, but it is indeed impossible for us to hold Yecheng. Will die. The minister still left a way out, I wonder if your majesty still remembers?"

Chapter 700

Cao Pi was taken aback when he heard Sima Yi's words, and then remembered that a few months ago, when Sima Yi decided to gather all the soldiers from all over the world to fight the Liang army in Hebei, he had a private discussion with him under the court.

At that time, Sima Yi encouraged Cao Pi to mobilize almost all the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in Wei State and gather in Yecheng, Hebei, but nearly ten cities were exceptions, and they still maintained enough troops to resist the Liang army for part of the time.This series of cities basically extends eastward in parallel with the Yellow River, until it reaches Binxian County, where the Yellow River enters the sea on the coast of the East China Sea.But Sima Yi didn't say the reason in court at that time, but told Cao Pi the reason for doing so when he met Cao Pi alone.

Before Cao Pi could open his mouth, Cheng Yu sneered and said, "Is there any good way to be a grand master? It turns out that I just want Wei Guo to use what is left of my family to retreat to a corner of Donglai, Qingzhou. Do you really think you can defend the Donglai Peninsula? Haven’t you heard of the strength of Liang Jun’s ocean-going navy? Others can travel thousands of miles and conquer tens of thousands of miles in the Western Ocean. Donglai County can’t do anything about it? The grand master doesn’t need to think too much, the Liang army is already sweeping the world, and no matter where you gather the remaining soldiers and horses and garrison them, it is impossible to reverse this trend.”

At this time, Cao Pi calmed down from his anger, and said to Sima Yi slowly: "The matter has come to this point, and it is meaningless to comment on whose faults. Now we still have to solve the immediate urgent problems. The grand master should get up and talk."

Sima Yi was able to straighten his sore back.As soon as he stood up, he sneered and said to Cheng Yu: "Cheng Yushi, you only guessed half right. Certain and the Holy One did discuss to find a way out to the east, but they didn't retreat to Donglai County. Donglai County can If you can't keep it, how can someone be unaware."

Cao Zhen on the side was surprised and said: "Donglai has already reached the sea, didn't he retreat to Donglai, should he retreat into the sea?"

At this time, it was not Sima Yi who answered, but Cao Pi said: "Of course the grand master meant not to retreat into the sea, but to retreat overseas. The grand master said that there are still vast lands overseas that are suitable for reclamation and development, and there are many places to herd." People. So if our Great Wei cannot gain a foothold in the Central Plains, we can follow the example of Jizi and go to Liaodong to establish a country. Of course, we will not end up going to the land of Sanhan in the south of the four counties of Liaodong, which is too close to the final control area of ​​​​Liang Guo. We are going to Yingzhou."

All the generals were shocked when they heard this.Cao Chun first exclaimed: "Yingzhou, isn't that one of the three fairy mountains in the East China Sea? At that time, Sun Quan sent Wu general Wei Wen to look for it, but Wei Wen only found Yizhou. No one knows about Yingzhou. , how do we get there? Taking ten thousand steps back, even if we can find this Yingzhou, it must be like the Yizhou that Wei Wen found. Wei Wen was very annoyed by this, because that Yizhou brought nothing to the state of Wu, and he lost a lot of manpower and material resources for the visit. Now the grand master wants the surviving ten thousand soldiers of our state of Wei, all civil and military The officials, as well as their tens of thousands of family members, were all taken to this barren place. Can we survive? Even if we survive, our children and grandchildren will be trapped in that barren place, who wants to?"

When Cao Chun said this, he turned his head and said to Cao Pi respectfully, "Don't talk about us being courtiers, but Your Majesty, would you like to see your children and grandchildren become aliens?"

When Cao Pi was asked by Cao Chun, he groaned for a long time without expressing a clear attitude.Cao Chun went on to say: "I don't know what your majesty wants, anyway, I would rather die in battle with Liang Jun than be willing to be barbarians for myself and my descendants."

After he finished speaking, many civil servants and military generals of Wei State echoed him one after another, and the voice of discussion became louder and louder.Seeing this, Cao Pi could only wave his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, then cleared his throat and said, "My dear friends, after listening to what the grand master has said, it's not too late to talk about it."

Only then did Sima Yi speak slowly: "Everyone, this Yingzhou is not what you look like, it's just a tiny place the size of a state or even a county. It's also vast in size but small in appearance. It is an island, rather it is an archipelago composed of islands of different sizes. These islands are either complete or connected, and they are archipelagos. Among them, the area of ​​the big island is not necessarily smaller than my state of Middle Earth. The cumulative land area of ​​all the islands is also large. It is not necessarily smaller than the combined land of Qingxuyu, Yanyou and Wuzhou. Of course, most of its land is mountainous and unsuitable for cultivation, but the total area of ​​the remaining arable plains is not a small number. Not only is it difficult to feed the population we brought The problem is, as long as the plains of Yingzhou can be fully opened up, it will be enough to raise millions of troops. The natives of Yingzhou are all uncivilized barbarians at present, and it is easy for our Wei army to conquer them."

When Sima Yi said this, Cheng Yu laughed and said, "We don't even know where Yingzhou is now. Where did the grand master know these things? Could it be from some miscellaneous books?"

Sima Yi continued to speak indifferently: "Not only does someone know where Yingzhou is, but he also sent people out to sea to find out in the early years. This Yingzhou is actually not a rare and hard-to-find place. It is actually where the Japanese gather."

Hua Xin was twirling his whiskers with his hands at this time, and when he heard the word Japanese, he immediately said, "This Japanese man is exactly what is recorded in the Geography of the Han Dynasty" There are Japanese people in Lelanghai, divided into more than a hundred countries, and they are divided into hundreds of countries. When I was old, I came to see the Dongyi named Wo in Yun'?"

Sima Yi replied: "That's right, it's the Japanese people. But they don't live in Lelang Sea, but on the islands located in the southeast of Samhan. These islands are actually called Yingzhou in ancient books. In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu, received an envoy from one of the more than a hundred countries called Wonu, and gave the king a golden seal. This was the first time that the Wa people paid tribute to the emperor. In fact, the name of the Wa people It also came from the Japanese slave country. At present, this Japanese slave country has disappeared, but a few years ago, another Japanese slave country sent an envoy to our Great Wei."

At this moment, Taishi made Huaxin look knowledgeable and continued, "I know this person. He is the envoy from the Yamatai Kingdom, Nanshengmi. To tell you the truth, this Nanshengmi should be contacted by a Fuyu merchant first." , and then recommended by the minister to the late emperor Taizu."

Sima Yi nodded, and said to Cao Pi: "At that time, the minister had not been employed by the court, and he was an idle scholar living in seclusion in Hanoi. However, some of the minister's clansmen served in the court, so they accidentally told the matter to the minister. Coincidentally, when the minister was bored, he became interested in the Yingzhou fairy mountain recorded in some ancient books of the pre-Qin and the former Han. After many studies and deduction, it was determined that there was a large island or A large piece of land, that is Yingzhou, and it is a place where the Japanese live together. So after getting the news, I immediately sent some confidant house slaves to find Nan Shengmi, and went back to the country with him. These confidant house slaves lived in Yingzhou for a year More than enough, after collecting all kinds of local customs, customs and geography, one or two people were selected to cross the sea and return to China more than half a year ago. After reading their reports, I planned a retreat for Your Majesty and Great Wei .”

Chapter 701

When Sima Yi said this, he deliberately paused, checked the reactions of Cao Pi and the ministers, and saw that no one was making a sound, and continued: "This Yingzhou is enough to become a place for my great Wei to regain a foothold. Can cross the strait less than [-] miles to attack Sanhan, and then divide the army into two groups, all the way straight into the four counties of Liaodong to take Youzhou Hebei, all the way across the Bohai Sea and directly land in Donglai to take Qingxu Yuyan. Counterattack the Central Plains and restore our great Wei world."

Hearing this, Cao Zhen laughed loudly and said: "When I enter the barren land of the Japanese, I may become a Japanese for generations. How can we talk about competing in the Central Plains again? You said it easy, what are you talking about?" To attack Sanhan across the sea, why divide the troops into two groups, one way to attack Youzhou, and the other to attack Qingxu Yuyan. Isn't this talking in the middle of the day, daydreaming? Others occupy the most affluent Central Plains in the world, and tens of thousands of us go there How long will it take us to develop these barren lands? Even if we can civilize these Japanese people and gather millions of soldiers, it is impossible to counterattack the Central Plains. Rudang Then Feng Yu and Liang Guo both eat dry food, if it is so easy, our Great Wei will not fall to where it is today."

After hearing Cao Zhen's words, the silent officials of Wei State immediately recovered from Sima Yi's "Vision and Prospect" and sighed.Some said: "I don't regret waiting for death. I would rather die for the country than let my children and grandchildren become foreign slaves. Otherwise, how can I be right for my ancestors."

However, Sima Yi sneered twice, ignored the ministers, and just bowed to Cao Pi and said, "Your Majesty, take ten thousand steps back, even if we can no longer enter the Central Plains. We can also try our best to develop the land of several overseas states, then If we can protect the honor of the descendants of the Wei family and grandchildren of the emperor for thousands of generations, the princes and sirs will not lose the meritorious status of princes. On the other hand, if we do not retreat to Yingzhou, our ministers will have only two ways to go, or die for the country with our lives to show Loyalty. Either surrender to the Liang Kingdom and become a traitor of Wei. But you have only one way to go, Your Majesty will not survive the fall of Wei. Even if you survive, the most optimistic thing is to be under house arrest. , I am afraid that the end will not be any better than that of Shanyang Gong Liu Xie."

Cao Pi was shocked when he heard this.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, that is, the end of Shanyang Gong Liu Xie, he knew too well.Liu Xie fell into the water and drowned unclearly, which was originally planned by him after he ascended the throne.

Sima Yi was obviously trying to force Cao Pi to make up his mind as soon as possible, and he continued to say to Cao Pi, in fact, to all his ministers: "Although my minister Sima's family is not the world's top rich and prosperous family, it is also second to none, and can be ranked among the top ten families in the world. As long as His Majesty is determined to hunt Yingzhou in the east, the minister's Sima family will swear by His Majesty to the death, and promise to create a new foundation for His Majesty on that new land for the Great Wei. By doing so, it is a respect for Your Majesty. Loyalty is also based on my confidence in Yingzhou. I hope His Majesty will make a decision early and hunt Yingzhou east."

Sima Yi's previous words had already blocked the mouths of all the ministers. Anyone who objected to retreating to Yingzhou at this time would naturally have the suspicion of intending to surrender Liang, so no one dared to speak rashly.

Cao Pi lowered his head, thought for a quarter of an hour, and then made up his mind: "I will pass on my edict. From now on, the whole country will be evacuated to Yingzhou in accordance with the policy of the Grand Master Sima Yi. The troops should be sent out urgently. Let the guards of the cities along the way prepare for the response, especially the guards of Nabin County, quickly raise ships and prepare to cross the sea."

Seeing that Cao Pi agreed with his suggestion, Sima Yi was overjoyed, and immediately answered, "Your Majesty is wise. I have already ordered the guards of various places along the way to prepare, and the county magistrate of Nabin County should have prepared hundreds of them by now." There are thousands of ships. At the port, there are still servants who have been to Yingzhou and a few Japanese people waiting there."

Cao Pi and Sima Yi were talking and answering each other, but many civil and military officials over there were full of sadness. In fact, many people still didn't want to leave China and go to that unknown land.But now if he explicitly opposes Cao Pi's edict, he will obviously be suspected of disloyalty.

At this time, a high-pitched and thin voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "Your Majesty, I am willing to die for the country, and I request you to stay in Yecheng and fight to the death with Liang Jun!"

Cao Pi looked up, and it turned out that the speaker was Taishi Ling Huaxin.No matter who Cao Pi was, he blinked a few times and understood Hua Xin's thoughts.But he didn't say anything, just opened his mouth and said to the ministers: "This time I am hunting Yingzhou in the east. If you are willing to go with me, you can take your family with me. If you don't want to go, I will not force you. Stay Those who come down, Jiang Liang will still fight to the death with the Liang army, it is up to you."

The ministers were silent for a while, and then dozens of people stood up, and bowed to Cao Pi in unison: "I am willing to defend Yecheng with Tai Shiling and die for the country!"

Cao Pi glanced at the group of people and found that there were very few generals from the Cao family and the Xiahou family. He said two words expressionlessly: "Very good!"

At this time, another servant in command entered the palace and said: "Your Majesty, the Liang army outside the city is indeed just a small group of Liang army cavalry. They made a tentative attack on the city, and they have been repelled by the soldiers commanded by General Xiahou Dun." Now, Liang Jun is nowhere to be seen outside Yecheng."

Sima Yi immediately said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, we need to prepare overnight, and we will evacuate at dawn tomorrow, otherwise we will have long nights and dreams. After all, the main force of the Liang army is at Wocangang, dozens of miles away, and we can reach the city of Ye in a few hours. "

Cao Pi flicked his sleeves and responded: "Just do as the Grand Master said. Those who want to go with me among the ministers should go back to the mansion and prepare. They will leave early tomorrow morning."

Only then did the crowd recede amidst the shouts of long live.

……

In fact, Sima Yi's worries were completely unnecessary.At the moment, Liang Jun is also in a state of desperation, in a hurry, and it is impossible to drive the main force to the city of Yecheng immediately.The reason for Liang Jun's situation is that the countless Wei Jun surrendered.

Feng Yu stopped on the watchtower of a certain camp of the Wei Army that had been captured by the Liang Army, and looked down.The wilderness is full of groups of Liang Jun infantry, escorting strands of Wei Jun's surrendered troops back.In the barracks, the officers in the army were busy registering the names of these prisoners, assigning camps, and distributing dry food.In this battle, apart from the 4 to 15 people directly killed by the Liang army, another [-] to [-] fled away on their own, and the rest were captured.There are at least [-].It is not an easy task to settle and deal with so many captives, it will take quite a long time and a lot of energy.

In addition, the commanders of quite a few nearby counties and counties, the local wealthy families had already received the news of the battle, and immediately sent envoys to contact the surrendering Liang army, begging Daliang to send troops and appoint officials to take over these counties and counties in various ways.Therefore, it is impossible for Feng Yu to send a large number of troops to attack Yecheng immediately.

Chapter 702 Meeting Ceremony

In the early morning, the top of Yecheng was covered with a faint layer of sunlight.Today is a rare fine weather in recent days, but there are a lot fewer defenders at the top of the city than yesterday.

The gate of the city, which had been closed all night, suddenly opened. Xiahoudun and forty or fifty tiger and leopard riders were the first to leave the city. They lined up on both sides of the gate.Afterwards, a large number of horses and horses flowed out of Yecheng.Except those civil and military officials of Wei who were willing to follow Cao Pi to Yingzhou.Cao Pi, the Wei family, and the concubines in the harem were naturally all in it, but Cao Pi did not put on the emperor's honor guard just to deceive people.The carriages and sedan chairs used are the most common objects.

But such a huge troop still attracted the attention of others. In a forest not far from the city gate, five or six heads poked out to look here.These people were the first few of Liang Jun Qingqi who arrived at the foot of Yecheng yesterday.Yesterday, these Qingqi made a tentative attack on Yecheng, but they were quickly repelled by Xiahou Dun.These more than a thousand Qingqi Feiyu didn't go far. After discussing with each other, the two captains parked their troops twenty miles southwest of Yecheng and waited to move. Ye sneaked into the vicinity of Yecheng and monitored Yecheng.

At this time, the five or six Liang Jun scouts began to whisper. "Why are there so many people coming out of the city, and it seems that many of them are not soldiers at all. I am afraid that the entire Wei court will be evacuated?"

"Hey, why do we care so much, it's business to report as soon as possible."

……

The brigade of people walked for a whole hour before they fully drove out of Yecheng.Xiahou Dun entered the city again with a cold face, and said coldly, "Close the city gate!"

As soon as the city gate was closed, a fast horse galloped towards Xiahou Dun, and soon he was stopped by Xiahou Dun's personal soldiers.The man shouted at Xiahou Dun at the top of his voice: "General Xiahou, someone is a member of Lord Hua Xin's house. Your Excellency has something important to ask Lord Xiahou to discuss."

Xiahou Dun's expression changed slightly, and he whispered a few words to the soldiers behind him, and then he led a dozen tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers and galloped towards Hua Xin's mansion.

When they came to the gate of Huaxin's mansion, the servants led the way and welcomed Xiahou Dun into the mansion, but most of his soldiers were stopped.The head butler and the head of the family Ding said to Xiahou Dun with a smile on their faces: "General Xiahou is here. My master has been waiting for the general for a long time. It's just that my house is cramped and there is no room for so many military masters in front of the hall. Please let these military masters stand in front of you." Rest in the courtyard."

Xiahou Dun made a gesture indifferently, causing most of these soldiers to stay in the front yard, but there were still two captain-level lieutenants following him from left to right and striding inward.Only then did Xiahoudun realize that there was still a very long corridor to go from the front yard to the hall of the mansion.

Xiahou Dun stepped into the hall, only to find that the hall was already full of people, and these people were still whispering to each other.Hua Xin had already greeted him with a smile all over his face, and said to Xiahou Dun, "General Xiahou is finally here. I have been waiting for General Xiahou for a long time."

Only then did Xiahoudun use his single eye to scan the crowd one by one, and found that most of these people were Wei Chen who voluntarily asked to stay and fight to the death with Liang Jun in order to die for the country.With a sneer on the corner of Xiahou Dun's mouth, he clasped his fists and said to everyone: "It turns out that the adults are all gathered here. I don't know why you made an appointment here?"

Without waiting for the others to speak, Hua Xin said first, "Oh, General, what else can we do if we invite you here now. We just want to ask questions about Yecheng."

A trace of disdain appeared on Xiahou Dun's face, and he said: "The city defense of Ye City, the Holy Majesty has entrusted someone to take full control of it. You all heard this clearly at yesterday's court meeting, so you don't have to worry about it. If you As you have sworn, if you want to live and die with the Great Wei, you can also organize family members and slaves to personally hold weapons and follow someone to the top of the city to defend the city."

In the hall, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down and became silent.Hua Xin's face changed slightly, but he still said calmly when he got there: "General Xiahou, let's open the skylight and speak plainly. The Holy Majesty is already going to Dongshou Yingzhou. You have garrisoned the city of Ye with one or two thousand remnants How long will it last? Therefore, I suggest that General Xiahou join us in surrendering the Liang, so that we can save our lives, and at the same time, if we have the opportunity in the future, we can also contribute to the Great Wei."

Xiahou Dun laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "You finally said what you wanted to say. You are obviously greedy for life and afraid of death, but you still express your loyalty to the Holy One with duplicity. However, the Holy Majesty also said something first. If you want to stay, you can stay. If you surrender, you will surrender. Your Majesty will not force you to be difficult, and will not force you to be loyal ministers. If you want to surrender, you can ask the soldiers to open the gate and let you leave quickly."

The corners of Hua Xin's mouth twitched twice, and his face suddenly changed: "General Xiahou, you misunderstood what we said. We are not asking you to let us go out of the city, but to surrender the Liang army with us and sacrifice Yecheng."

Xiahou Dun stared at him with one eye, and continued to laugh wildly: "So you want to use Yecheng as a gift for Feng Yu!"

Hua Xin also wiped his face completely at this time and said: "General Xiahou is right. I went to surrender Liang empty-handed. Earlier, the Liang Lord might have been willing to accept him. Now that Liang Guoding Dingding has become a major trend in the world, I will serve Liang Guo later. , can only be seen by the Lord Liang as an act of stealing life. Even if we reluctantly accept our surrender, I am afraid that we will be reduced to common people. Therefore, we must prepare a meeting gift for Lord Liang. If General Xiahou is not willing to sacrifice with us Yecheng, all I have to do is take off your head and give it to Feng Yu along with this Yecheng!"

Hua Xin took two steps back as he spoke, apparently to guard against Xiahou Dun's sudden attack.Although Xiahou Dun stopped laughing wildly at this time, he still had a strange smile on his face and said something that Hua Xin and everyone present did not understand: "Sure enough, His Majesty can justifiably let you die."

At this time, Hua Xin didn't have time to think about what Xiahou Dun's words meant, and hurriedly threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground, and shouted: "Where is the sword and axe?".As the teacup was smashed on the bluestone floor, there was a crisp sound, and behind the screen, a large group of Ding's slaves from the Huaxin Mansion armed with sharp knives and axes rushed out from outside the hall gate, roaring towards Xiahou Dun and the three of them. .

But at the same time, Xiahoudun had drawn his sword from his waist, and his two lieutenants also had their weapons in their hands, one of them was holding a hand crossbow.They retreated to the hall gate, until they reached a wall adjacent to the corridor outside the gate, where they were surrounded by Hua Xin's slaves.Xiahou Dun's lieutenant, who was good at crossbows, suddenly shot a short arrow into the air.The short arrow made a sharp whistling sound.

Chapter 703

Xiahoudun's lieutenant general had just shot a loud arrow when a knife stabbed towards him with the sound of piercing through the air, and it would be too late for him to pull out the weapon at his waist.But Xiahou Dun's broad sword had already been swung out, and the sword light flashed, and a hand that was still holding the first knife was chopped off.The owner of the knife, Hua Xin's servant, was already gripping his wrist and howling in pain.

When Hua Xin saw someone firing arrows, he immediately realized that Xiahou Dun had been prepared, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly kill these three people, I will reward you very much!"

His servants and slaves had already been besieging and killing Xiahou Dun and the other three with their guns and knives.The three of them were already armed with their own weapons, fighting each other back to back under the wall.In the blink of an eye, four or five of Hua Xin's family slaves were beheaded.

The dozen tiger and leopard riders staying in the front yard were also besieged by servants who swarmed out from all directions.It's a pity that their horses have been taken away by the people of Huaxin's mansion to take care of them, so they can only fight on foot.Although these tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers were prepared, they could only parry under the siege of Hua Xin's family, who was well equipped and not weak in combat power.

A tiger and leopard knight blocked a servant's steel knife with his knife, and sent the first knife in his hand into the opponent's chest, but at the same time, three spears pierced his armor almost simultaneously. , Picked him to the ground.

Another tiger and leopard cavalry hacked and stabbed three servants one after another, but several sharp arrows shot at him, two hit his torso and one hit his helmet.These arrows were shot from close range with the heavy crossbow, and they were so powerful that even the armor of the tiger and leopard cavalry could not defend against them.The tiger and leopard knight fell straight to the floor.

Hua Xin's servants rushed forward one after another, with cold arrows from the heavy crossbow interspersed among them.The tiger and leopard knights turned into corpses one by one.In less than a moment, there were only four or five of these tiger and leopard knights left.

Seeing that they were all about to be strangled.Suddenly there were several loud crashes from the gate, and the gate of the mansion was knocked open.There were also a few tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers standing outside the door, holding logs as thick as bowls in their hands. Seeing that the gate of Huaxin's mansion was knocked open, they dropped the logs and retreated, followed by dozens of tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers. He rode his horse and rushed into the courtyard.

With a bang, a tiger and leopard cavalry spear stabbed out suddenly, piercing through three servants standing on the same line in an instant, and the three of them were paralyzed to the ground without a sound. , The iron hooves of the tigers and leopards have trampled over them one after another.In the front yard, more servants and servants were forced to the ground by the warriors, trampled to death.The tiger and leopard riders stabbed randomly with their lances at first, but then felt that in the limited space of the front yard, the efficiency of lances to kill people was too low, so they simply threw away their lances, took out their sabers, and started slashing and killing.

In the front yard of the mansion, there were nearly a hundred of Hua Xin's family servants, but in just a few minutes, most of them were killed or injured, and the rest of them had already lost their souls and fled in all directions.These tiger and leopard riders immediately jumped off their horses and charged towards the lobby deep in the mansion with their weapons in hand.More Wei army infantry rushed in from outside the gate, and followed these tigers and leopards to kill the mansion.In fact, these soldiers and horses followed Xiahoudun far away from the beginning, and only waited for the signal of the arrow to sound, and then rushed into Huaxin's mansion.

Under the wall of the corridor outside the hall, the three of Xia Houdun were still fighting hard against Hua Xin's servant who was attacking from three sides.There were two or three layers of corpses piled up under their feet, but all three of them were covered in blood, and each of them still had a few arrows stuck in their bodies.Especially the two lieutenants seemed to be about to run out of energy.

Fortunately, as generals, their armor was far more sophisticated than that of ordinary tiger and leopard knights, so these arrows did not shoot deep but only wounded the skin.The guards and servants were frightened by the bravery of the other party, they didn't dare to rush forward, they all retreated a few steps away, waving their weapons at the three of them.

Hua Xin yelled angrily from the side: "Go, give me all, kill Xiahou Dun, each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels, and those who kill Xiahou Dun with their own hands will be rewarded with a thousand taels. !" All the servants of the Ding family shouted in unison, and rushed forward again.Under the chaos of guns, knives and arrows, a lieutenant was stabbed and fell to the ground without paying attention. He was immediately pierced into a hornet's nest by the random guns.Suddenly one of the three was missing, and the stalemate was about to be broken.Just when Xiahou Dun was about to die at the hands of these family servants, there were loud shouts of fighting from the corridor. It turned out that tiger and leopard knights and a large number of Wei army infantry swarmed in.

There were only two or three hundred members of Hua Xin's family, but these were regular soldiers who were superior to him in terms of combat power and numbers.In less than half a quarter of an hour, most of these servants and servants had dispersed and fled, and those loyal servants quickly fell to the ground, turning into cold corpses.

Hua Xin's face had already turned pale. He was ready to run away, but he had nowhere to go. After turning around a few times, he found Xiahou Dun's subordinates at every possible exit.Like him, the officials in Hua Xin's mansion were running around like headless chickens.Several people tried to sneak out while the scuffle was not over yet, but were quickly beheaded on the spot.

Finally, when there was no living servant in the hall and the corridor outside the hall, Xiahoudun and his soldiers broke into the hall and surrounded the trembling officials.Some of them were so frightened that they lost control of their bladder and bowels, and some shouted for mercy: "General Xiahou, this is all the old man Hua Xin's idea, and we have nothing to do with it."

"Yeah, we just want to survive, we don't want to harm the general."

Hua Xin squirmed her pale lips and said incoherently, "Nonsense, it's all nonsense..."

Xiahou Dun laughed again, and said: "Actually, yesterday you decided not to follow the saint, and you are doomed to your fate today, regardless of whether you murdered our family or not. But the grand master asked me to bear it first and said that I would wait until it was right." All of you will be beheaded and exterminated!"

When he spoke, he had already picked up Hua Xin's collar and cut off his head with the knife in his hand.The rest of the tiger and leopard knights also stepped forward one after another, and cut off the heads of all the officials in the midst of begging for mercy like a knife cutting tofu.

Then under the leadership of Xiahou Dun, the soldiers rushed to the inner mansion again, and soon the screams of men, the cries of children, and the screams of women came from the depths of the mansion...

……

The Liang Army Qingqi appeared under the city of Yecheng again. It turned out that after receiving the news from the scouts, the two captains of the battalion dispatched Kuaiqi to pass the news to Feng Yu. People and horses drove all the way directly to the city of Yecheng to check for news.

The captain looked up to the top of the city, only to find that there was no guard at the top of the city.When he was wondering, the city gate suddenly opened dozens of battles away, and a Wei cavalry rushed out, which surprised him, and hurriedly ordered the five or six hundred cavalry under his command to prepare to evacuate.

But that Wei Qi didn't run towards them, but looked at them as if they were nothing, and went away to the east, and the suspension bridge of the city gate was never closed and lifted again.At the same time, the rangers he sent to the four gates of Ye City brought back news that the other gates of the city were also opened, and many young men dressed as civilians ran out.Ranger caught a few of them, and after interrogation, he found out that they were deserters from Yecheng, and found gold, silver and other objects in their packages.According to these captives, the Cao Wei court had already withdrawn from Yecheng. One or two hours before that, the guard Xia Houdun suddenly led his troops to loot the residences of the dignitaries who stayed behind, and then withdrew from Yecheng with his own cavalry. The infantry also fled in all directions with the looted gold and silver.

Lieutenant Liang Jun was skeptical after hearing this, but he finally decided to take a gamble.A moment later, this Liang army Qingqi galloped into Yecheng...

……

In the middle of the night, after a busy day, Feng Yu rested his head on the desk, feeling drowsy.He woke up with a shout: "Report! Your Majesty, our army conquered Yecheng! Wei Ting fled eastward!"

After Feng Yu listened carefully to all the military reports, he knew that now, he had unified the "world" in the traditional sense and became the only person whose true destiny belonged.

Half a month later.An hour after the last ship in the mighty Wei army fleet left Binxian port, Liang Jun's heavy cavalry was galloping along the main road of the county. The land of Daliang.

Chapter 704

"Adjoining Jieshi in the east, you can see the sea.

Water and water, mountain island.

The trees are overgrown and the grass is lush.

The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.

The journey of the sun and the moon, if out of it.

The stars are brilliant, if they are out of it.

Fortunately, even zai, the song to Yongzhi. "

On the cliff by the sea, stands a bright yellow canopy.The large open space behind the canopy was completely occupied by a group of dark people, surrounded by warriors in distinctive armor.A man in a yellow robe with five-clawed golden dragons was standing under the canopy. He watched the rough sea water hitting the dark brown reef at the bottom of the cliff, and impromptuly recited this song composed by Wei Taizu Cao Cao. poetry.

This person is naturally Feng Yu, the current emperor of Daliang.Now it is April of the ninth year of Xiuwu, and the thirteen prefectures in the world have been completely pacified.Even the occasional rebellion of some wealthy families in some places half a year ago is no longer happening now.Since Feng Yu is the one whose destiny belongs to him, it is natural for him to climb Mount Tai to enshrine Zen according to the tradition of the past dynasties when the four seas return to one.

So at the beginning of April of this year, a large number of people surrounded the royal guard of honor and set off from the capital Luoyang to Taishan County, Yanzhou.The civil and military officials of Daliang who followed did not expect that Feng Yu did not return to Luoyang immediately after offering sacrifices to heaven on Mount Tai. Instead, he continued to drive eastward and entered Qingzhou.Finally, I came to the easternmost end of the Dongnae County Peninsula, where I watched the sea.

In fact, there were still a few ministers, such as Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Xun You and others, who immediately understood Feng Yu's intentions.In the Qingxu area, local officials and aristocratic families were basically accepted by Daliang in the form of offering surrender forms to the Luoyang Daliang court.

Liang Jun didn't even show up in some counties and counties in Qingxu.The officials of the counties and counties just changed their official robes, and the local soldiers of the yamen changed their uniforms, making these counties and counties under the rule of Daliang.This somewhat made Feng Yu a little uneasy, so he took advantage of this opportunity to continue his east tour.One is to show their strength to these local forces, so that they will not dare to rebel before the exchange of scientific officials in Daliang.The second is that Feng Yu really wanted to personally investigate the customs of officials and officials in Qingxu Erzhou.

Cao Cao's poems are naturally known to many of the ministers behind Feng Yu who have read the scriptures.They all showed surprise on their faces.Feng Yu seemed to know what they were thinking, and said with a smile: "Misters, do you think it's inappropriate for me to recite the poems of Cao Cao, the old master of Wei? But I don't think there is anything inappropriate. Although Cao Mengde is not the destiny The man who confronted me several times ended up dying and the country perishing. But he is also a generation of heroes in troubled times, and this poem he wrote is also magnificent. Under the circumstances, I recite this poem. I can express my feelings!"

When Feng Yu said this, there was an immature child in the crowd, but his face was obviously moved.It just so happened that Feng Yu glanced across his face.This person was Cao Chong who had surrendered to Daliang earlier.Feng Yu waved his hand and said to Cao Chong, "King Wei, come out."
