Great Military Division

Chapter 333 Runan Yuan, the foundation is ruined!Yuan Wei was so angry that he vomited blood!

Yuzhou, Runan, Ruyang.

Outside Yuan's old house.

The flags are flying, and the soldiers are dense.

Sitting on the horse, Bao Xin looked at the manor with the closed gate, and asked in a cold voice: "Master Xi, do you have anything else to say? The entire Yuan's Manor has been surrounded by our army."

"Have!"

Xi Zhicai nodded affirmatively, and said softly: "Your Majesty sent someone to tell you to keep an eye on the movements of the Yuan family. When Yuan Yin was arrested from Wuyang, the Yuan family mobilized a large number of songs, and they might be prepared to fight to the death. "

"Oh?"

Bao Xin frowned, and couldn't help asking curiously: "How many soldiers and horses are there?"

Xi Zhicai made a rough estimate: "No less than 3000 people!"

"3000 people?"

Even Bao Xin couldn't help being surprised: "No wonder Meng De asked me to bring more people over. It seems that Yuan's Manor is still a tough nut to crack."

"Oh, right."

When Cao Cao was mentioned, Xi Zhicai frowned slightly, and was suddenly curious: "Why didn't Meng De come, but instead sent you here? Could it be that he was afraid of offending the Yuan family?"

"It's not."

Bao Xin shook his head bluntly, and said softly: "Meng De has a little friendship with Benchu, Gonglu and others, and they can fight each other on the battlefield, but he is not easy to deal with this kind of thing. "

"But I, Bao Xin, have nothing to do with the Yuan family. Even if the Yuan family is finally caught, I will enforce the law impartially and will not engage in favoritism or fraud. That's why Meng De asked me to come and execute it on my behalf."

Only Xi Zhi knows it in his heart, and he also understands it.

After all, the Cao family is also a wealthy family in Yuzhou, and it is a relatively large one. They have inextricable connections with the Yuan family, and their friendship with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, it is inevitable that they will not feel pity.

"It doesn't matter who executes it, I only look at the results."

Xi Zhicai would not be entangled with the executor, but directly gave the task: "Your Majesty has spoken first, weeding must be done before the roots, otherwise it will cause endless harm, Yuncheng should understand, right?"

"rest assured."

Knowing the consequences, Bao Xin patted his chest and assured: "Although there are three thousand soldiers in Yuan's Manor, in our eyes, they are just mobs, not worth mentioning."

"brothers!"

At that moment, Bao Xin rode his horse forward without any hesitation, and with a clang, he drew his sword out of its sheath: "Your Majesty has a decree that Yuan Yin, the descendant of the Yuan family in Runan, conspired to rebel. .”

"kill-!"

The sword pointed at the manor and gave an order.

However, the black and mighty Cao Jun rushed towards the manor like a tide, and with a loud bang, the siege ballista directly hit the green brick and white tile wall of the manor, and a huge gap suddenly appeared.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
In the next moment, a wave of arrows pierced through the air, and after drawing a perfect arc in the air, it moved towards the manor below, covering it like a downpour, and the sound of wailing followed.

Before Yuan's manor's trilogy could react, the second round of intensive arrow rain attacks followed one after another, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth rounds.
Although the Yuan family had quite a number of plays, they were all left over from Yuan Shu's selection before. Their combat effectiveness was already worrying, but now they encountered the elite under Cao Cao's command.

After several rounds of arrow rain, the Yuan family couldn't even make a decent counterattack. Only a few hundred arrows flew out from the manor, and they couldn't even pierce the leather armor of their own soldiers.

"Humph!"

Bao Xin snorted lightly, his eyes full of disdain.

Originally, he was a little apprehensive about the [-] soldiers and horses in the manor, fearing that it would be difficult to gnaw such a hard bone, but now, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ordered:

"charge!"

"Launch a general attack on me!"

With an order, the golden drum shook the sky instantly.

The sword and shield soldiers in the front, who were moving forward cautiously, suddenly changed their expressions when they heard the drum. They changed from being cautious and defensive to fierce charging. He rushed forward screaming.

How could the high gate compound be compared with the city wall? In the eyes of these elite infantrymen, the Yuan family's manor was useless at all. They didn't even need a ladder, so they easily jumped over the wall and rushed in without any hindrance.

Next, there was a massacre without any suspense. The surrounding soldiers and horses were constantly shrinking the encirclement to ensure that no one from the Yuan clan would slip through the net.

"Playing sheriff."

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Bao Xin turned his head and glanced at Xi Zhicai: "It is estimated that in another quarter of an hour, the Yuan family will be slaughtered. At that time, our army will be responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and you will be responsible for the search. Bao will leave a troop protection, and the rest were brought back to the barracks."

Xi Zhicai nodded, "Thank you General."

Bao Xin cupped his hands: "The Sheriff Xi is too polite, we are a family."

*****
Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

State Shepherd House.

A slightly thinner man with deep eye sockets and a trace of sternness in his slightly sad eyes sat on the head with his beard twisted.

His name is Tao Qian.

It's Xuzhou Zhoumu.

On both sides of the lower part of the main hall, there are all civil servants and military generals from Xuzhou, and each face is also full of indignation, but at the same time full of helplessness.

"Your Majesty."

In front of the cowhide map, a hulking man bowed his hands to Tao Qian: "This is the case at present. Cao's [-] elite troops are stationed in Lu State, and the rest of the troops are stationed in Pei State. Xuzhou has already been encircled."

"Although part of the troops of Lu and Pei are likely to deal with the two brothers Liu Dai and Liu Yao, I in Xuzhou should not take it lightly."

"therefore!"

Speaking of this, the man deliberately emphasized: "The general thinks that we should hurry up to recruit soldiers and horses, just in case, if it is half a step late, I am afraid that we will not escape next year."

"General Cao, don't scare me."

Before Tao Qian could give a final answer, a man with a high crown and a belt appeared below him: "His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang has always implemented a benevolent government, so how can he attack me at will?"

"You are recruiting so much that you don't want to protect Xuzhou. Instead, you give the opponent a reason to attack Xuzhou. It is bound to attract Cao Jun's cavalry, so the loss outweighs the gain."

"Your Majesty!"

Speaking of this, the man turned to Tao Qian, bowed deeply and said: "I have been to Nanyang before, and it is true as the rumors say, to promote the kingly way, and the common people do not pick up things on the road, and do not close their houses at night. This is the real Datong world."

"But what about Chang'an?"

The man smiled, with extreme sarcasm written all over his face: "Since Dong Zhuo retreated into Guanzhong, he has continued to recruit soldiers and increase taxes.

"Comparing Chang'an with Nanyang, it's true that a nasty horse is to a unicorn, a gleaming worm is to a bright moon, and a jackdaw is to a phoenix. The two are completely different."

"His Majesty the Emperor Chang'an is Dong Zhuo's puppet. The emperor was abolished and the throne was not upright. How can he be favored by the heavens? However, His Majesty the Emperor Nanyang is the orthodox Han Dynasty, and has his own gods to favor him."

"The envoy is a Han minister, and sooner or later he will face a choice. Now that His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang is gaining momentum, why don't we take this opportunity to submit to His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, so that the people of Xuzhou can live such a prosperous life."

"Zhao Yu!"

Before Tao Qian opened his mouth, Cao Bao on the side couldn't hold back his anger, and shouted back: "You are also a celebrity in Xuzhou, how can you say such disloyal and unjust words?"

Zhao Yu was not taken by Cao Bao's aura at all. Instead, he raised his head and chest, and replied angrily: "What is infidelity? His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang is the first emperor's son, and now he is returning to the palace with Yuxi. He is the real orthodox of the Han Dynasty." .”

"It is true loyalty and righteousness for me to submit to His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang. Is it possible that you want to use the power of the whole state to compete with the iron cavalry of His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang?"

"You know!"

The sound was like a bell, and it sounded like a thunder.

Zhao Yu was nothing more than a Confucian scholar, but he dared to face Cao Bao Huwei directly, but he did not lose the wind: "Cao Jun has a siege ballista in his hand, and we are waiting for the city wall in front of him. We are as weak as eggs. Do you want to fight against such a mighty army?" the enemy, and ignore the people of Xuzhou?"

"I"

Cao Bao was about to speak angrily.

Snapped!
Suddenly there was a shock.

However, Tao Qian slapped the table angrily, his eyes were full of anger, and the old man who was haggard and almost dying turned out to be an angry lion at this moment.

Cao Bao and Zhao Yu all bowed their hands together and kept silent. After a long time, they felt that strong coercion dissipated, and the atmosphere eased a little.

Cao Bao raised his head timidly, wanting to take a look at Tao Qian's expression, but he saw that pair of dry eyes staring at him with sullen expression, and his body subconsciously shuddered:

"The last general."

Just as Cao Bao opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Tao Qian: "Captain Cao, Zhang Miao, and Yuan Shu's [-] troops are no match for Cao Cao. How many troops do you need to beat Cao's army?"

"This"

"Ah, this"

Cao Bao didn't dare to be sure, he was too timid to answer.

He asked himself, the kind of ballista that can destroy the city wall is simply too invincible, which is equivalent to completely settling their city defense advantage.

As for fighting in the wilderness, Xuzhou is located on a plain, and cavalry is always the king. Although there are some cavalry among the soldiers and horses, they are definitely not opponents of leopard cavalry and wolf cavalry.

Let Cao Bao lead his troops to fight against such an opponent, seven or eight out of ten will be a dead end, even if he resists steadily, he may not last for a year or a half.

"Captain Cao!"

This angered Tao Qian: "If you don't have the ability to fight against Nanyang, then don't say a few words. Could it be that you want all the people in Xuzhou to become soldiers and rise up to resist?"

Cao Bao bowed his head and bowed his head, how dare he speak again.

instead.

Tao Qian turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yu: "Yuan Da, you have been to Nanyang once, is there any way to contact the Emperor of Nanyang?"

Zhao Yu frowned and shook his head slowly: "This subordinate really has no connections."

"Report—!"

At this moment, there was a long sound of report outside the hall.

Tao Qian looked up.

But seeing, his own guard hurriedly turned into the hall, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "Master, Nanyang Hanting sent envoys to come, saying that they brought His Majesty's imperial edict."

Nanyang Hanting?

edict?

Tao Qian was ecstatic.

He was worried that he would not have a way to meet him, and he never thought that the other party would come to the door on his own initiative. As long as he accepted the edict from His Majesty Nanyang Emperor, he would naturally belong to His Majesty Nanyang Emperor.

"quick!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Tao Qianteng got up, bypassed Chang'an, turned into the hall, and waved his hand: "Your lords, follow me and come out of the mansion to meet your majesty's edict."

Whoops!

All the civil and military officials in the palace followed behind Tao Qian, and hurried to the outside of the mansion, ready to receive the imperial edict.

With a creaking sound, the door of the mansion opened slowly, and Tao Qian stepped out to welcome him, and bowed respectfully to Lu Su: "My minister, Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou, welcome the angel."

Governor of Xuzhou?

One must know that Dong Zhuo of Chang'an promoted Tao Qian to Xuzhou Mu. He did not call himself Xuzhou Mu, but Xuzhou Inspector, which proved his closeness.

Although this is a good start for Lu Su, it is definitely not an easy condition for Tao Qian to take action against the Yuan family in Guangling.

Therefore, Lu Su was not at all fortunate, and still had his usual mentality: "Tao Shijun, get up quickly, your majesty's edict is here, we might as well enter the hall and read it."

Tao Qian nodded, "Very good."

Immediately.

He bowed to make way for Lu Su to go first.

Lu Su represents the face of the royal family, so he did his part and walked forward.

Tao Qian hurriedly followed behind, and Xuzhou civil and military officials followed into the main hall just now, and they lined up neatly, waiting for the reading.

Lu Su turned to face Xuzhou Wenwu, unfolded the imperial edict, and read aloud: "Runan and Guangling Yuan family have received the emperor's kindness and love from the late emperor, but they don't want to repay it. Yuan Yin and Yuan Sui, the descendants of the family, intend The evidence of treason in the Winter Festival Worship Ceremony is conclusive."

"Yuan ignored the emperor's favor and did not know how to repent. His crimes belonged to the barbarians. I still have a tolerant heart and cannot bear to punish him. However, the laws of the country cannot be tolerated, the hatred of the people is hard to disappear, and the crime cannot be pardoned. I will punish him with pain and rectify the laws of the country. .”

quiet!
Quiet!

Deathly quiet!

The entire hall was completely silent, and a needle could be heard falling.

Lu Su's hand holding the edict stopped in the air for a long time, but Tao Qian didn't dare to take it, and he didn't even dare to lift his head.

Not to mention Tao Qian, even the civil servants and generals in the hall were equally horrified, and they all bowed their bodies, not daring to raise their heads.

Especially Zhao Yu, a well-known scholar in Xuzhou, originally thought that the door was coming, but he never thought that what His Majesty the Emperor Nanyang handed over was actually an edict to exterminate the three Yuan clans in Guangling.

Although the Guangling Yuan family is not too powerful among the entire Xuzhou gentry, but with the blessing of the Runan Yuan family behind him, he also has a pivotal position in Xuzhou.

Even if he borrowed Tao Qian's 1 courage to take action against a wealthy family with such a background, he would never dare. His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang didn't give him a way, but handed him a knife!

"Tao Shijun, accept the order."

Lu Su's calm words were like a sledgehammer, hitting Tao Qian's heart hard.

He was startled and terrified, his soul was shattered, and he tried to reach out, but his arm was filled with lead water, and he couldn't reach out.

"This"

Tao Qian's voice was a little trembling, and when he slowly raised his head, his forehead was covered with fine sweat: "Angel, the Yuan family has been loyal and good for generations, is there a misunderstanding in this?"

"Humph!"

Fortunately, Lu Su was well prepared.

He immediately took out the evidence prepared in advance from the cloth bag next to him: "This is the confession of Zhang Chao, Zang Hong, and Yuan Sui. He personally admitted that he was going to commit treason at the Winter Festival Ceremony. Fake?"

"what?"

Tao Qian was stunned for a moment, took the criminal evidence in disbelief, and began to browse.

as predicted!

There were even Yuan Sui's signature and signature on it, as well as many evidences of Zhang Chao and Zang Hong.

Although these criminal evidences cannot guarantee Yuan Yin's participation in it, they have proved Yuan Sui's criminal evidence. According to the law, the three Yuan clans with Yuan Sui as the core must be killed.

Have to admit.

Indeed, the evidence is overwhelming.

Moreover, Yuan Sui's confession has become irrefutable evidence.

The other party made it clear that they had accepted the consequences of the conspiracy to destroy the three clans.

Lu Su stared at Tao Qian who hadn't responded for a long time, and handed the imperial edict to him again: "Why, is Tao Shijun going to disobey His Majesty's will because of the Guangling Yuan family?"

"How dare the minister!"

Tao Qian hastily bowed and saluted.

As a last resort, he could only accept the imperial edict: "My minister Tao Qian, accept the edict."

Lu Su smiled lightly, and turned to say: "Mr. Tao, don't worry, this is His Majesty's personal edict. Even if the Yuan family has a grudge, His Majesty will take care of it. What has it to do with you?"

Although it was Tao Qian who did it, it was the emperor's public edict after all. Even if it aroused the dissatisfaction of the people in the world, it is natural that there is a wrong and a debt, and Tao Qian is actually not very responsible.

"veteran"

Even so, Tao Qian's mouth was still dry and he didn't know what to do.

Lu Su didn't care so much, and turned to say: "Since Mr. Tao has received the edict, I don't know when to send troops to Guangling. Lu is still waiting to report to His Majesty."

"This"

Tao Qian thought for a moment, then said softly, "Leave early tomorrow morning."

Lu Su nodded affirmatively: "Yes! I'll wait for you."

Say it.

Lu Su stepped forward without hesitation.

Looking at Lu Su's disappearing back, Tao Qian held the imperial edict and glanced at the ministers: "Wait, who is willing to lead troops to Guangling?"

Everyone was silent and bowed their heads in silence.

After a long time, Zhao Yu took a step forward, clasped his hands and clasped his fists: "My lord, my subordinates are willing."

Tao Qian's eyes brightened, "Is Yuan Da fearless?"

Zhao Yu clanged: "I hold the edict of the Son of Heaven, so why not be afraid of it!"

"it is good!"

Tao Qian was overwhelmed with emotion, and handed the edict to Zhao Yu himself: "In that case, tomorrow morning, you will personally lead the troops to Guangling for execution."

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yu received the imperial edict, but bowed his head and handed over his hands: "Since it has been decided, I'm afraid it won't be good to delay until tomorrow. My subordinates are willing to lead troops to Guangling today, so that the emperor can know my intentions in Xuzhou."

Tao Qian was greatly shocked, and kept nodding his head: "Okay! I will allow you five thousand Danyang soldiers to go straight to Guangling."

Zhao Yu cupped his hands: "Here."

"Take the angel with you."

"Reassure you."

******
Sili, Chang'an.

Taifu's house.

Side hall.

When Yuan Kai was holding a scroll and reading, his right eyelid twitched like a conditioned reflex, no matter how much he blinked, it was always difficult to recover.

Maybe it was because he was too tired, so Yuan Kai put down the scroll, closed his eyes and rested his mind, trying to relieve his fatigue.

But for some reason, this inexplicable panic rose in my heart, and it became more and more serious.

A gust of cool wind blowing in from outside the hall, could not help but make Yuan Kai feel chilly.

"Shiji?"

Yuan Kai closed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "But there is news from Nanyang?"

a long time.

No sound came.

Yuan Kai suddenly felt bad, so he hurriedly opened his eyes and looked up.

However, Yuan Ji stood in front of him with his head down, his body trembling subconsciously, as if trying to hide something.

"Is it that the direction of Nanyang is not smooth?"

"Didn't succeed?"

Yuan Kai tried to ask, but there was no surprise on his face.

Because, if His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor really died, there would be no need for information at all, and Chang'an would be shaken.

But after such a long time, there was no movement at all.

Actually!
Yuan Kui had already realized that the winter festival sacrifice to the heavens had probably failed.

However, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and Yuan Kai will never be depressed by it.

After all, the layout for several years has not been successful, so why is it a temporary idea?
"If you don't succeed, you don't succeed. It's okay."

Yuan Kai got up slowly, bypassed the long case, and turned into the hall.

He came to Yuan Ji, and said softly: "Don't be sad, there will be many opportunities for revenge in the future, and the development is very good at the beginning, and he has successfully become a Jizhou shepherd, and his strength is even stronger."

"As long as you can pull yourself together, and our uncles and nephews help Benchu ​​together, you will be able to develop and grow in less than two years. It is still unknown who will win and who will lose. This matter has to be taken slowly."

In a sense, Yuan Wei didn't care about the success or failure of the assassination at all. The reason why he did this was just to cheer Yuan Ji up and stop indulging in sadness.

Therefore, even if the news of the failure came, Yuan Kai could still maintain absolute calm, and there was not even a trace of worry on his face, but he seemed to be a normal person.

"Head up."

Yuan Kai stood in front of Yuan Ji, with his hands on the other's shoulders, a pair of dry eyes burst out with indisputable resentment, and his voice was suddenly sharp:

"How do I usually educate you? As the head of the family, you must not change your face before Mount Tai collapses, and you must have the style of a general. Look at you, how will you inherit the position of the head of the family in the future?"

"hurry up!"

Yuan Kai shook Yuan Ji's body violently: "Raise your head and wipe away your tears. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. It's nothing but two deaths."

"uncle-!"

Only then did Yuan Ji straighten up and look up at Yuan Kai: "Is it really nothing to die for two people? Even if he is my relative?"

Yuan Kui thought that Yuan Ji was still talking about Yuan Shu, so his heart burst into flames, and he said loudly: "He chose the path himself, and he should bear the consequences of what happens."

"Life and death, no less!"

Yuan Kai stared at the other party, his voice was gentle, but it was sonorous and powerful, resounding: "Not to mention the road, even if it is you, it is Yuan Chu, and anyone in our Yuan family should have this kind of awareness."

"kindness!"

Yuan Ji gritted his teeth and nodded affirmatively: "My nephew can feel at ease if my uncle thinks so!"

Yuan Kai felt that something was wrong, but he didn't realize it for a while, and he was preaching as usual: "This person, no matter when, he always has to look forward, and he can't just be silent in grief, understand?"

"My nephew understands."

Yuan Ji felt at ease, and immediately took out a letter from his bosom: "Uncle, this is a letter sent back from Runan. The assassination at the Winter Festival Ceremony of Worshiping Heaven failed. Yuan Sui, Yuan Yin, Zhang Chao, and Zang Hong were killed. Catch, the Runan and Guangling Yuan clans were brutally exterminated."

Boom—!
At this moment, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

It turned Yuan Kai into a black charcoal, his dry eyes were wide open, the pupils were extremely dilated, filled with fear and panic, and the thunder in his heart continued one after another.

"This"

Yuan Kui's throat rolled, and cold sweat dripped all over his body.

He tried his best to suppress his panic, stretched out his trembling hand, and caught the letter that was handed over: "Runan, Guangling and Yuan's family were wiped out by the emperor."

Yuan Jien nodded, keeping his tone as calm as possible, without any irritating words: "The matter was exposed, Zhang Chao rebelled, and took out the correspondence with Brother Yin, implicating the Yuan family in Runan."

Yuan Kai was impatient, hurriedly took out the letterhead, opened it, his eyeballs rolled up and down, the anger in his heart rushed into his throat, and he opened his mouth to curse:

"Zhang Chao, you harmed my whole family!"

"Yin'er—!"

This sound screamed up to the sky.

It seemed to be able to lift the entire roof, and the sound went straight to the sky, shocking the world.

Yuan Kai was full of anger, and kept hitting his internal organs, and with a puff, he spurted out a mouthful of 40-year-old blood.

Then, his eyes went dark, and he collapsed to the ground, falling into Yuan Ji's arms.

"uncle-!"

"uncle-!"

"Wake up, uncle!"

"Doctor, come in quickly, don't be dazed!"

"Uncle, wake up, didn't you say that the Yuan family should have this awareness?"

"uncle-!"
