The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 89 Yang Huan decides to make the final fight and Wang Tuo swears to defend Jicheng to the death
Speaking of which, in the Ye Palace, Shi Jian, the former Emperor Zhao, is now Li Jian, the lord of the guard, although he is allowed to live in the Ye Palace.However, one cannot serve the ancestral temple, and the other cannot meet the officials. He is almost like a walking corpse, and only eats poor meals every day. King Wei also intends to humiliate him.

Unexpectedly, Li Jian didn't care about it, he just accepted it happily, and kowtowed to thank King Wei for long live.How can Ran Min be so easy to deceive? After a long time, after many times of testing, he saw that Li Jian just sat in the palace, respectful and humble, without a trace of temper, indeed he was no longer a threat to him, and Ran Min was no longer Agreeing to Princess Shi Yun's request, the wedding is imminent, and if she does more harm, it may hurt her peace.Then he gradually relaxed his guard, and allowed him to move freely in the palace except that Miyagi was not allowed to go out.The former servants around him, such as Yang Huan, can also take care of Shi Jian's daily life.

"Dinner is ready, dinner is ready." Outside the gate of the palace, a guard delivered the meal.

Shi Jian remained silent, just like the previous days, but this time a pair of pale hands picked up the food box and brought it to Li Jian. Li Jian looked up and it was Yang Huan.

When the eyes of the master and the servant met, Li Jian's eyes only showed deep hatred, which flashed away for a moment, and Li Jian only smiled and said, "It's been a long time, Mr. Yang, are you here?"

"Your Majesty," Yang Huan said respectfully, "please have a meal."

"Bang" the door of the palace was closed, just for a moment, Li Jian couldn't hold back, just snatched the food box and threw it at Yang Huan, Yang Huan fell to the ground in an instant.Li Jian still couldn't help but kicked violently with his feet, cursing in a suppressed voice: "My country, Zhao, and Jiangshan have all been harmed by your lowly slave." The kicks and punches were like a storm pouring on Yang Huandao's body. .

Perhaps Li Jian was also tired from the beating, so he sat slumped on the ground, looked at Yang Huan who was crawling on the ground bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and panted and said, "Get up, I am a lost dog after all, and I have no one to take care of me. Rulai, what do you think?" comfort."

Hearing this, Yang Huan only cleaned off the filth on his body, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said: "Your Majesty, the old servant is really useless, let Your Majesty suffer such a great shame and humiliation."

"It's a shame, ha, ha." Li Jian only smiled bitterly, "The Shi family's foundation has been completely destroyed in my hands. If I had known this earlier, I would have slaughtered it so I wouldn't be humiliated by that Han boy."

Yang Huan only looked at Li Jian, and said peacefully: "Your Majesty, you can bear the humiliation and defilement, which is beyond the reach of the late emperor's sons. If it weren't for this, how could this old servant serve Your Majesty again."

Li Jian just wandered around in the hall in a daze, "Live, live, what face do I have to live in the world, miss our master and servant, you go."

Seeing Yang Huanhui kneeling on the ground, Li Jian asked in bewilderment, "Why are you still here? Nowadays, everyone is afraid to avoid you. Why don't you go quickly?"

Yang Huan just got up and approached, although his voice was low, his words were firm, "Now that the world is still uncertain, Your Majesty has the opportunity to overcome the situation, and this old servant wishes His Majesty a helping hand."

"Recovering the country?!" Li Jian's body trembled a little, and then he took a few steps back, looking at him suspiciously, "What are you trying to do by lying to me, I can't give you anything here, you go, go quickly."

"It seems that your majesty was finally frightened by Ran Min, and Li Tekang entrusted him with no one." Yang Huan turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" Li Jian just called him to stop.

Yang Huan only said firmly: "That's right, it's the boy Li Tekang next to Princess Shi Yun."

It was already late at night, and in a secluded place in Dongming Temple, Li Tekang saw that there was no one in private, and after flashing into a rockery, he was only captured by Yao Yi. Zhang Chen, the leader, scolded angrily: "You actually It is a disgrace to us to commit ourselves to the Han bandits, how dare you invite me and others."

Li Tekang was firmly handcuffed, but he said neither humble nor overbearing: "Uncle, my son knows that his parents died tragically at the hands of Hu people, but now it is a last resort to commit himself to Shi Yuncheng."

I saw Zhang Chen pushing Li Tekang away violently, but the two people behind him pressed their sabers, but they were worried about him.

"Shi Yun, if it weren't for her, I, a barbarian, would not be in the trouble I am today. Not killing her is not enough to solve the hatred in my heart."

Li Tekang said anxiously: "Uncle, no! This matter has nothing to do with Shi Yun."

At this time, Yao Ruo, who was behind the two of them, pushed Zhang Chen and Yao Yi away, looked directly at Li Tekang, and questioned him: "Everyone knows the old story of Hualinyuan, but you actually defended her. This woman is the culprit, and if you don't get rid of it So, it’s hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart.”

Li Tekang rubbed his shoulders and said, "Yao Wu General Yao Yi and Wu Wei General Yao Ruo, if it weren't for Shi Yun's persuasion, under the order to kill Hu, you two would not be here today. You are not generals in Ye Palace now. Yet?"

The two were silent for a while, and the elder Yao Yi said first: "If my two brothers hadn't been trapped in Yecheng, how could they have served under Ran Min, a Han man? In addition, my father Yao Yizhong was in command of the army, and Ran Min would definitely I have scruples, and now I can't become a matter of hatred."

Yao Ruo on the side said: "I want to escape in the next few days, Li Tekang, how about you and I go out together?"

"Hahaha" Li Tekang only let out a mocking smile, "After talking for a long time, it turns out that you only care about your own well-being, and I misunderstood you."

Everyone was ashamed when they were mocked by the little Li Tekang.

Zhang Chen finally asked him, "The last general has served your father for many years, knowing that you have great ambitions at such a young age, what do you want my uncle to do, just tell me."

Li Tekang only looked around and saw that there were no other people around, and said, "Shi Yun has promised to marry Ran Min, the traitor, and Ran Min is very careful when he travels, only on the wedding day..."

Yao Ruo said excitedly: "Yes, everyone at the wedding was extremely happy, and lax defense is the last chance to strike."

Seeing his younger brother Yao Ruo's excited expression, Yao Yi didn't feel much joy, and asked Li Tekang: "But even so, Ran Min's thief will definitely let his confidants arrange it, and if things are not kept secret, I'm afraid... "

The moonlight shone on Li Tekang's thin figure, but on the contrary, he had a pair of big eyes and two scarlet cloud-like eyebrows. Hanguang is only not commensurate with his age.Li Tekang said slowly: "At the wedding, I will be Princess Shi Yun's personal attendant. If I can get something, I will definitely inform you secretly." At the end he added, "Who would notice a What about the boy? Only one can't hurt Shi Yun."

"Shi Yun?" Yao Yi was suspicious, "Why?"

Li Tekang had killing intent in his eyes, and said, "I just said it. Don't hurt Shi Yun."

At this moment, a voice outside came to mind, and it was the voice calling for Li Tekang.Seeing this, Yao Ruo and Yao Yi hurriedly left.

It turned out to be Princess Shi Yun's maid, Xiao Qiu, who finally found the rockery. When she saw Li Tekang, she complained, "You can make it easier for me to find you. The princess calls you, go quickly."

In the room, there was only an oil lamp in front of the window sill, dragging the figure of Princess Shi Yun to the elders.

"Zhi..." the door finally opened, and Li Tekang came into the room quietly.

"Why did you do this?" Shi Yun looked at him quietly and said slowly, then suddenly slapped the table angrily, "You don't know, Ran Min has stopped now, if you kill again, it will only increase blood ".

"Princess." Li Tekang kowtowed deeply, kowtowed, and said for a long time, "Now that the Han people have taken over the power of Yecheng, all my Hus have been killed and injured. The princess really wants to see my Hus perish..."

"Shut up!" Shi Yun was sullen for a moment, and then wept, "You have escaped from the tiger's mouth, and the king of Wei will spare you, why are you still like this, can Hu Han really not..."

"The princess's Shi family is now all surnamed 'Li' because of a prophecy, what a shame." Li Tekang only saw the handkerchief in front of the table, only angry, but also with a hint of jealousy, stepped forward , just want to tear it off.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yun rushed forward and snatched it away.

"You are so reluctant to part with that Han child. I am a barbarian and I am not as good as that Ran Min." Li Tekang said with a trace of jealousy.

At this moment, Xiao Qiu came in and said, "Why do you talk like that, kid?" Seeing the jealousy on his face, he smiled involuntarily, "You little brat, I don't know what's on your mind."

Li Tekang was only a little embarrassed by what he said, and suddenly he yelled: "I am not incompatible with Hu and Han." Then he escaped outside as if he was trying to find his way.

Outside Ye City, Ran Min and the invading army faced each other.

After all, Ran Min was right as he had expected. Outside of Yecheng, Ruyin Wang Shikun, Zhang Ju, Wang Lang and others led a large number of troops, but they were all patched up troops. warplane.

Ran Min took the lead, holding a spear in his hand, and the red dragon horse under his crotch was as fierce as fire. The three thousand cavalry he led were unstoppable, and he only killed the coalition army and beheaded more than three thousand.

Stepping on the corpses of the enemy soldiers in the wilderness, Ran Min climbed to the high platform and shouted: "Soldiers, in our country of Zhao, no one can bully our Han people. The country of Zhao will be our Han people."

"The general is mighty! The general is mighty!" All the soldiers below cheered loudly.

Suddenly a person in the team uttered, "The general has such outstanding achievements, he should be the emperor, and we all support the general as the Lord of Zhao."

For a moment, the sergeant fell into a calm state, and then he shouted, "Long live the great general, long live the great general."

After hearing this, Ran Min wanted to stop him, the accompanying generals knelt down on the ground, couldn't get up for a long time, and said: "The general puts on a strong and persistent sword, and won a place for the Han people in the Zhao Kingdom. Now that the Jie people have lost their power, the general should go one step further."

Ran Min said: "Nowadays the world is not settled, the barbarians are not attached, and Shi Jian is not wrong. I want to follow Cao Cao's story, and discuss it after the world is settled."

One of them held up Ran Min's lapel busily and said, "It is not as good as the death of Huaxia to have a king in Yidi. The Zhengshuo of the world should return to our Han people. Now the Jie people have no way, and the Jie people in Yecheng have been slaughtered. At this time, the general should be Conform to the sentiment of the masses and go to the Ninth Five-Year Plan.”

Ran Min still wanted to refuse, but at this moment an envoy from the city arrived in front of Ran Min's army.

I saw the envoy walked up to Ran Min and said, "I follow your Majesty's instructions."

King Wei didn't move at all, and the rest of the begging army were also solemn and silent. The envoy had expected this situation and didn't panic. Sir, loyal to defending the country, my heart is very comforted, and now I specially give the royal wine in the palace to the king of Wei to congratulate."

The envoy only signaled that the waiter would present the giant wine vessel to King Wei.King Wei just held the wine glass and looked at the cloudy liquid, but he didn't drink it for a long time.The envoy just looked at King Wei quietly, not in a hurry.

At this moment, Dong Run snatched it away and drank it all. He did not forget to thank the messenger and said, "The king of Wei is too strong to drink, so let's drink with the last general for now." Finally, he said to the messenger, "Go back and tell you Li. Jian said, the king of Wei has made great achievements again, and the main reason for you princess is not to marry the king of Wei, so how can we protect your majesty's foundation?"

The envoy only took a step back and bowed and said: "The general said it is true, the envoy will definitely bring it."

"Long live, long live." There was a shout in the army.

The messenger left in a hurry, only to see Ran Min slap Dong Run on the shoulder fiercely, and said, "You boy, you are overstepping."

"Haha, King Wei, I don't regret my life. If something happens to the body of King Wei's daughter, I beg the living army to rely on it, so take care of it."

After a while, seeing that Dong Run was fine, Zhang Ai said: "It seems that Li Jian has surrendered to King Wei."

Wang Tai looked at the city of Ye in the distance, and said leisurely: "If it wasn't for the begging army stationed in the city, and the 38 members of the Li clan are all in my hands, don't you know what Li Jian will do?"

"Forget it." Ran Min only let out a long sigh, "If the Li family does not fail me, I will not fail. Now that the enemy is in front of us and the land of thistle is empty, after the civil disturbance is quelled, quickly fight against the Murong family. All the troops are in charge .”

Youzhou Jicheng
Most of the defenders of Jicheng were transferred away because of Yecheng. At this time, the defense in the city was weak and could not withstand the front of the Yan army.

Youzhou Inspector Wang Wu and Deng Heng have decided to let the city stay and preserve their strength.Jicheng, the strong city built by Zhao Guo for many generations, has become an abandoned child.

In the early morning of that day, after counting the last batch of supplies and soldiers, Wang Wu led the soldiers to prepare to leave the city.

"Where's my brother Wang Tuo?" Wang Wu asked the entourage beside him.

"I haven't seen it since yesterday, I should go back to rectify the soldiers and horses."

"The forward of the Yan army is approaching, and the situation is critical now, forget it, let's go quickly."

At this time, the mist in winter shrouded the whole Jicheng, Wang Wu was leading a group of soldiers to go out of the south gate, but he saw a dark area in front of him, which looked like soldiers.I couldn't help feeling nervous, so I just walked forward. At this moment, the mist cleared and the dawn dawned. It turned out that Wang Tuo, Wang Wu's younger brother, was standing at the gate of the city with his troops.

"My brother pays homage to Lord Inspector." Wang Tuo bowed directly when he saw Wang Wu.

"Brother, what do you mean at this time?" Wang Wu hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked.

"Have you heard about Yecheng?" Wang Tuo asked Wang Wu slowly.

Wang Wu was also sad, "I heard that the Hu and Han disputes, this country of Zhao will not live long."

"Brother, now that the world is in chaos, where can we go? The wives and children of these soldiers are all here. If the army leaves, how can Jicheng defend it?"

Hearing this, Wang Wu hastily pulled his younger brother aside, and said in a low voice, "Brother, listen to my advice. The world is no longer comparable to Shi Le and Shi Hu in the past. Yecheng, Xiangguo, and Zhaoguo are in chaos. These people are just trying to survive. I don't want to abandon them, but now there are no reinforcements outside Jicheng, no food and grass inside, what is there to rely on? The royal family of the Shi clan ignores us, let us find our own way out."

Wang Tuo just stood in the cold winter wind, with the fringe flowers on his armor fluttering in the wind. He said slowly for a long time, "Brother, I have the duty to defend the land and resist the enemy. If you flee today, you will die, and if you defend the city, you will die anyway. My younger brother is willing to defend Jicheng with all the soldiers." Wang Tuo patted his elder brother on the shoulder and said, "Now that the Jie people in Zhao State have been slaughtered, where are we going? .”

Seeing this, Wang Wu wanted to persuade him, but Wang Tuo said: "I am not defending this city for the Shi family. I have long heard that the Yan army has strong bows and crossbows, and horses and swords that are unparalleled in the world. My brother has long thought about it for a while. "Wang Tuo looked at an elder in the team and said to Wang Wu, "I am not the only one who has this kind of heart. Prefect Li Chan and general Mu Jian also have this kind of heart."

As soon as Li Chan stepped forward, he made a generous statement to Wang Wu and Deng Huan, "When a husband receives a salary from others, he should share his safety. If you give up this festival to save yourself, what will the righteous people say about me!"

But Mu Jian said indifferently: "The final general will receive the great kindness of Shi's family. Since ancient times, he cannibalize people's salary and be loyal to the emperor. It is old for Shi's family to rule Jicheng. Now that the enemy country is about to invade, there must be some people who will die."

Immediately, Wang Tuo turned around and said to the soldiers: "I will swear to defend Jicheng to the death, who will follow me?"

I saw Wang Tuo's subordinates knelt down in unison: "The last general is willing to follow the general to the death."

Deng Heng had been waiting beside Wang Wu for a long time, then he stepped forward and said to Wang Wu: "Loyalty and bravery are commendable, and you are well trained. It's a pity that Wang Tuo didn't meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. If so, he will have made great achievements in the world."

Knowing that Wang Wu would not be persuaded, he bowed deeply to Wang Tuo, and led the Jicheng army to disappear into the forest in the southern suburbs of Jicheng.
