Chapter 132

I was neatly dressed, armed with a fierce gun, and a group of personal soldiers, went straight to the general's mansion, just in time for Zhang Nan to be on duty.There was a sound of clattering copper plates on the armor, and Zhang Nan led a group of personal soldiers to meet him: "Second son, the last general has been waiting for a long time. The eldest son is drunk and is going to rest in the room. My people are all around here. , Peng An has gone home and slept soundly."

I nodded solemnly and waved: "Follow me."

The clanging footsteps and the sound of the sword being unsheathed, the rattling of the wooden doors and windows of the mansion, the killing breath turned into tangible sharp blades and pierced into the eardrums of people, cutting off your nerves, making you feel like you are holding ice cubes in your arms a feeling of.Stimulated by this feeling, Yuan Tan regained a sense of sobriety, his heavy head temporarily escaped from the anesthesia of alcohol, and lifted up from the pile of beautiful arms and legs; "Who is making a loud noise, guards, pull it out and chop it."

"Kang..." The two thick and hollow mahogany doors were pushed open violently, making the sound of falling apart.

Yuan Tan was furious: "Bold, who is it?" He wanted to stand up, but his body was wrapped around his body like an octopus with at least three or four bare, crystal-like jade arms like mountain vines, and he couldn't get up all at once.Waiting for him to shake off these arms angrily.The owner of the arm was also awakened, screamed, covered his body with his clothes, and escaped.Yuan Tan lay on his stomach and saw dozens of pairs of feet wearing black combat boots, some of which were stained with blood, full of fishy smell. It seemed that he had just killed someone not long ago.

Yuan Tan jumped up angrily: "You guys—big—bold——" Yuan Tan looked at me dumbly, and two turbid air waves with a strong smell of alcohol came out of his nose; "So it's you, Second brother, is there anything important to come in so late? You are too unruly, and you still brought someone—"

The sallowness on Yuan Tan's face turned pale, and his voice became smaller and smaller; "What do you mean?" Suddenly there was a muffled thunder, and the light rain turned into a heavy rain, and he jumped up: "You want to rebel, Yuan Xi, you want to rebel Is it?" Yuan Tan's eyes were staring like copper bells, his lips and the corners of his eyes were dancing chaotically.

"That's right, I just want to rebel, how about it?" I didn't give in to his eyes, which were bigger than his stare.

Sure enough, Yuan Tan was defeated. At that moment, he was like a defeated rooster, and he also wanted the beleaguered Xiang Yu.

"You poisoned your father, disregarded the life and death of the people, levied heavy taxes and carried out large-scale construction projects, leaving corpses everywhere, thousands of miles of barrenness, so you can't bear to gamble. The foundation of the Yuan family cannot be defeated by you, and father cannot die in vain. I want to abolish You." I said quietly.

"Abandon me, it's up to you guys. Zhang Nan, get the hell out of here. What are you? You feed an unfamiliar dead dog. Yuan Xi, you think I'm afraid of you, but I'm not." Yuan Tan Hysterical, yet smug.

"Aren't you afraid, are you not afraid of your father's wronged soul? Are you not afraid of the dark and cold prison? Are you not afraid of the light of the knife that cuts your neck? You are still in the dark, you have already betrayed all relatives, Zhang Fei's city defenders I have already solved it. You don’t have a single soldier anymore.” “Fart, the [-] or hundreds of people you brought can defeat the [-] to [-] elite soldiers in the city. Who are you scaring?”

I sneered and said, "Big brother, I will call you big brother one last time. Let me tell you the truth, Feng Li betrayed you a long time ago. He opened the city gate to let my people in. His ten thousand soldiers also surrendered to me." That's it, you're done."

Yuan Tan gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Mr. Feng Lipi, I should have killed him long ago, but I only hate that I was not cruel enough to kill all of Yuan Shang's old minions, leaving future troubles behind, which is why today's disaster happened. Villains, you are all villains, Yuan Xi, you are even more disloyal and unfilial, you are a villain. No one in the world will obey you. If you can't hold a high position for a few days, you will fall down. Just watch, watch. I shook my head and said, "You are still obsessed with your obsession. Let me tell you that your failure was not because you killed too few people. On the contrary, it was because you killed too many people, so all the people in the world turned against you!"

"They all turned against me. You are talking nonsense. There are still loyal ministers in Jizhou, but you are just a few shameless black sheep. If you don't believe me, call them to ask. If everyone turns against me, I will willingly give up the position of general. You do it." Yuan Tan was angry and pointed at my forehead trembling.

"Eldest son, second son, the officials of Jizhou City are asking to see you outside the door." A soldier in charge of sentry ran in.

"Haha, let me see how you, a rebellious minister and thief, explain to everyone and convince everyone." Yuan Tan shouted proudly.

Jia Xu rushed in with a large group of civil servants and generals, and fell to their knees.Yuan Tan said angrily, "Liu Xun, quickly call your men in, tie up Yuan Xi, drag him out and behead him, he dares to rebel."

Liu Xun took out a bundle of bamboo slips from his bosom, and waved his hand with the smell of ink, obviously it was just written, and raised it above his head; "Xun has a memorial form, and I want to participate in the performance of the traitor."

Yuan Tan was overjoyed; "Okay, read it quickly, read it quickly, let everyone listen to the virtues of this treacherous minister." He thought, Yuan Xi, let me see how you step down.Rebel against me, you are finished.

Liu Xun; "Yes." He opened the bamboo slips and read aloud; "Subordinate Liu Xun, the handsome general who participated in the performance of the great general Yuan Tan, is domineering, unsympathetic to the common people, brutal and bloodthirsty, disregarding loyalty and traitors, insulting laws and regulations, murdering respected fathers, Great rebellion is contrary to human relations. There are five major crimes today, and I respectfully ask the general to abdicate.

A murder of one's father is considered unfilial

Second, levying heavy taxes and carrying out large-scale construction projects will cause the people to be displaced, starving and starving people will fill the city, which is regarded as inhumane.

Three, it is considered unjust to massacre countless ministers on trumped-up charges.

Four presumptuous self-esteem, stepping on the red bird on the corridor, suspected of committing chaos, considered disloyal.

Withholding military rations for five grams, filling one's own pockets, drinking and partying every day, conniving soldiers to kill the people in the city, committing suicide is considered unjust.

How can the general have the five major crimes, and he can still honor the family background of the ancestral temple.I can't wait to ask the young master to make way. "Liu Xun's tone was tough and resentful, and he stood up as he spoke.

Yuan Tan's anger burst out from the top of his head, and he pointed at Juhu, Chen Lin, Peng An, Hedong prefect Wang Yi, Shen Rong, chief secretary Li Fu, and Zhonglang general Fan Xian Yuzhou governor Yin Kuidao behind Liu Xun. ;"Do you all think so?" I thought how good I was to you, but you actually rebelled.

Yin Kui was the first to stand up and said: "I am your old department, the eldest son has always been good to me, but Yin can't watch Jizhou be destroyed by your hands, can't watch Li people suffer, you kill your father and brother , can never be the master.”

Shen Rong said: "That's right, these days, the people in the city seem to be living in hell. They don't know where a knife flies and they cut off their heads. Female. These things were ordered by you."

Yuan Tan said: "I didn't do it, you are talking nonsense, I just told them to maintain law and order, and I didn't let them rape women. They killed innocent people indiscriminately. The people they killed were all traitors, and they deserved to die."

Chen Lin said angrily: "Then what about the people outside the city? They are not traitors, so why should they die? Do you know that Jizhou's household registration has dropped from 100 million to less than 30. It's all empty, and you caused it all by yourself, do you still have the face to be a general at this moment?"

Yuan Tan refused to accept it. He felt that these people beat the dogs in the water again, and looked at them with contempt: "Peng An, why are you rebelling against me? I will give you rich clothes and food, and let you be a high-ranking official with a rich salary. Isn't that enough?"

Peng An sighed, and cried: "No matter how much you give, it is not as much as General Yuan Shao gave. Your act of killing your father is truly outraged by heaven and man, and cannot be forgiven."

"Who said I killed my father, I didn't, my father died of worry, it's none of my business."

"Nonsense, you are talking nonsense. I can prove that Master Hou was indeed killed by this traitor." The voice from outside the door was soft and filled with resentment, and the resentment was somewhat unbearable. It was the mother.

Supported by Lan Xiang, the mother walked in stooped, snatched her, and slapped Yuan Tan across the face. "Nizi, your father was fine before he died, but he started to vomit blood after taking a dose of medicine made by Aunt Tian. Aunt Tian was afraid that you would harm me afterwards, so she wrote a letter secretly and handed it to the servant girl. Do you want me to show you the letter? You read it." The mother's hands trembled, her bent waist suddenly straightened up, and she cried, "I gave birth to a child and didn't teach it. I didn't expect you to murder your own father for the sake of power and position. You, you have to pay with your life."

"Mother, don't listen to Aunt Tian's nonsense, she, she hates the child, she is fabricated, she is nonsense, please don't believe him." Yuan Tan prostrated himself on the ground, hugging his mother's leg and screaming for grievances.He thought to himself that it would be best if Liu Bei and Guan Yu's rescuers arrived, and they would be saved.

At this time, there was another heavy and chaotic footsteps outside the door, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Feng Li hurried in from outside.Feng Li panicked and said, "It's not good, the second son, the last general is incompetent, then Liu Bei ran away after hearing the wind."

I was surprised, this is broken!Endless troubles.But it's no wonder Feng Li, Liu Bei's escaping skills are unprecedented, and he has a habit of abandoning his wife when he runs away.

Sure enough, Feng Li continued: "We only captured his youngest, Mi Zhu and Jian Yong."

Not bad, at least, Liu Bei's two arms were eliminated.

Yuan Tan still hoped for a miracle to happen.A soldier came in from the outside and reported: "General Zhang Xiu, Guo Tu has been slaughtered all over the house, now send troops to blockade the whole city, waiting for your son's instructions."

I said: "Let the general beware of troubles caused by the people in the city, tell him to restrain his subordinates, and anyone who dares to take the opportunity to loot the houses will be killed without mercy."

Jia Xu coughed and said, "Your Majesty, please hand over the gold booklet of Marquis Ye of the Great General."

Yuan Tan refused, and said sharply: "I see who of you dares to take my seal ribbon." Turning around, he pulled out the treasure from the wall, and threatened, "I will kill you." Although his words were fierce, everyone could see the truth. Serious on the inside, weak on the inside, strong on the outside, but dry in the middle, bluffing, he has lost his vigor and fighting spirit.

Zhang He and Feng Li stepped forward to dodge the sword, and two soldiers came over, tied their heads and faces with a hemp rope, and threw them in the corner.

Zhang He walked around the luxurious sandalwood-scented mahogany treasure couch with a saber in his hand, split open the one-person-high mahogany vermilion lacquer cabinet next to the couch, and took out the general's seal ribbon and gold book from it.Jia Xu was overjoyed and said loudly, "My lord, please raise your account and receive the seal and ribbon of the general."

This voice, Lord, is calling me.

All the civil and military ministers in Jizhou City gathered in the hall. Except for those who died in battle and were killed by Yuan Tan, there were less than 100 people left.Jia Xu, Liu Xun, and Yin Kui announced Yuan Tan's crimes. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and awe-inspiring righteousness, showing signs of condemnation.Of course, there are many who beat the dogs in the water.The problem is that Cai Yong cried and worshiped Dong Zhuo when he fell. There are many loyal people in Hebei, such as Wang Xiu and Guan Tong Yin Kui.These people did not give Yuan Tan the slightest sympathy.Instead, this coup was praised as great as King Wu of Zhou's defeat of Zhou, and some flattering officials came up to flatter me, saying that I want to be famous in history.

I disdain the fact that the name goes down in history. Is the matter of brothers killing each other worthy of being admired by future generations? If I had a choice, I would never take this step.

I succeeded as a general, but Yuan Tan was thrown into prison and placed under house arrest. I really couldn't bear to kill him, and my mother couldn't bear such a blow.

The generals were busy all night, the civil servants came forward to put up notices to the people, the military generals cleaned the battlefield to maintain law and order, and beware of spies taking the opportunity to make trouble.I comforted her in my mother's room for a long time, and when I came out, the east was already dawning.When the people in the city heard Yuan Tan's abdication and downfall, they rushed to tell each other happily, and they were so happy that they could finally live a few days of life.But the virtues of the newly-introduced person still need to be verified. What if he is the same as Yuan Tan.In short, the people inside and outside the city have lost confidence in the Yuan family.

Early in the morning, I hurriedly raised my account and explained the most important things to the officials. The most important thing was to stop the construction of Tongque Terrace and let all the craftsmen go home.Then the warehouses were opened to increase the volume. The food in Jizhou was not enough, so it was shipped from Huainan, and the situation there was much better than here.When Xun Yu got the news of the coup, the first thing he did was to kill Mr. Wang Zhao, the governor of Yangzhou.Another thing is to dig a well when there is no farmer to plant at this moment.Jia Xu said: "The population of Jizhou and Qingzhou and Bingzhou has dropped sharply, and many of the former lands have become unowned fields. It is recommended to implement military and civilian settlements like Huainan, and to drill a well every ten mu of land to prepare for future droughts. Get ready." I thought to myself that Jia Xu should be promoted, and said, "Mr. Wen He, you will be the chief secretary of the General's Mansion, responsible for the internal affairs of the four continents. You can handle all the specific matters. But you must think carefully." Jia Xu bowed and said, "Yes."
