By the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the city, the Cao Wei military flag that had been flying at the top of Dongjun City for decades was no longer there, replaced by golden western flags.
Qin army flag!
In the Weihou Mansion located in the city, countless Western Qin troops searched the house and turned the Weihou Mansion, which was originally the most noble place in Cao Wei, into a mess! Finally, the military discipline of the Western Qin Army was still very good, and there was no robbery or robbery.
In the meeting hall of the Marquis of Wei Mansion, the former high-ranking Cao family members were all tied up and kneeling down. Cao Ang and Cao Zhen, who were kneeling at the front, still wanted to struggle, but they could not resist the Western Qin sergeant behind them.
!
The top seat was empty, while Song Xian and Wei Xu were sitting on the left and right respectively, looking down at Cao Ang and Cao Zhen who were still struggling, and smiling coldly at the same time. On the other side, Zang Ba, Xiao Ni and a group of heads of aristocratic families.
They all stood aside with laughter, but Zang Ba was a soldier after all, and his posture was somewhat better. He clasped his fists at Song Xian and Wei Xu and said, "Two generals! There are a total of one hundred and seventy-eight descendants of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.
Capture them all! In addition, the rebel comrade Mao Jie and Man Chong resisted stubbornly and were killed by the last general. Liu Ye was captured. These are waiting for the two generals to deal with them!"
"Oh?" Song Xian raised his eyebrows and said with a serious face: "The Cao family and the Xiahou family are the common surnames of Cao Wei. They have been operating in Dongjun for so many years, how come there are only such a few people? Are you sure that all the Cao family and Xiahou family
Have all his children been captured?"
Zang Ba immediately replied: "Return to the general! There are indeed many children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, but the recent wars have been continuous. Many of the Cao family and Xiahou family's children were sent out to fight, resulting in many casualties! Yesterday, Cao Zhang led most of the people in the city
The young sons of the Cao family and the Xiahou family went out to fight against the generals, but all of them died under the power of the two generals! Although most of those left behind are old, weak, sick and disabled, they are indeed Cao family and Xiahou family
All the descendants of!"
"Bah!" At this time, Cao Zhen couldn't bear it any longer. He spat directly on Zang Ba's face and shouted loudly: "Bitch thief! Mr. Cao has been so kind to you, and you can do the same."
Such an ungrateful thing! How dare you face Duke Cao’s spirit in heaven? I can’t kill you to vent my anger, but I will turn you into a ghost and I will never let you go!”
"Hmph!" Wei Xu on the side couldn't help but sneered when he heard Cao Zhen's words, and said: "Now that you are prisoners, you want to die? I'm afraid it will be difficult! Someone, please escort them all.
Go to Chang'an and wait for the Lord to be punished!" The other prisoners were easy to handle, but Cao Ang, Cao Zhen and others were important figures in the Cao family, and Song Xian and Wei Xu did not dare to handle them well, so they decided to escort them all to Chang'an.
Wait until Luo Yang handles it.
"Zang Ba! You don't have to die well! You don't have to die well! Ah——! Even if I die, I can't spare you! I can't spare you!" Cao Zhen was dragged away by the sergeants, and he didn't forget to shout loudly as he walked.
scolded Zang Ba. As for Cao Ang, he had given up struggling at this moment. His face was lifeless. He was like a marionette. He was escorted down by the sergeants. The remaining children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family were also
in this way.
After so many prisoners were taken away, the entire meeting hall became much wider. Song Xian and Wei Xu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Regardless of the process, now Dongjun has been captured, and Cao Ang and others have all been arrested. Cao Wei has arrived.
Now, it can be considered completely over! At this time, Zang Ba, Xiao Ni and others looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, Zang Ba took a step forward, clasped his fists at Song Xian and Wei Xu and said, "Two
General! The last general of Dongjun City has been dedicated to the general, so what should our army do with it?"
When Song Xian and Wei Xu heard what Zang Ba said, a cold light flashed in their eyes at the same time. Needless to say, Zang Ba meant to ask for benefits from them! If they follow Song Xian and Wei
With Xu's previous temper, he would have immediately scolded Zang Ba and others and then kicked them out! But after following Zhao Yun and others for so many years, Song Xian and Wei Xu had learned a lot, and Song Xian immediately laughed.
Said: "General Zang, Mr. Xiao and others have worked hard and achieved great results! I will tell the truth to the lord! Let the lord ask the emperor for rewards for you! As for General Zang's troops and horses, they naturally belong to General Zang! I just hope that General Zang can restrain them.
My own subordinates, after all, the first military rule of the Western Qin Army is to have no offense with the common people! Now that General Zang has joined our Western Qin, this rule must be abided by!"
"That's it! That's it!" Hearing that Song Xian and Wei Xu had no intention of taking away his military power, Zang Ba felt happy. Even though he only had a few hundred people under his command, it was all Zang Ba's hard work over the years!
Zang Ba has been used to it for so many years. If he doesn't have military power, how can he be practical? Besides, since the other party does not take away his military power, it means that the other party has no ill intentions. This is what Zang Ba, Xiao Ni and others are most concerned about.
question!
Seeing the flattery of Zang Ba, Xiao Ni and others, Song Xian and Wei Xu also smiled and catered to them, but they secretly snorted in their hearts. They should stabilize these people first. When the time comes, someone will naturally come.
Get rid of them!
————————————————The dividing line————————————————————Far to the north of Xuzhou, we have just occupied Xia
Pi's cavalry, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, were rushing towards Pengcheng at night! After dividing their troops from Shanghe City and Wei Yan, Zhao Yun led 20,000 cavalry all the way south, first occupying it in one fell swoop
Linzi. Zhuge Jin, who was stationed in Linzi, jumped off the city and committed suicide on the day the city was broken. However, the news of the Western Qin army's sneak attack on Qingzhou had already been spread by Zhuge Jin! In order to seize the opportunity as soon as possible, Zhao Yun almost never stopped along the way.
Pass!
Fortunately, in order to hold back the Western Qin Army, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sent out the garrison troops stationed in various cities. Apart from encountering some resistance that collapsed at the first touch in a few big cities, it can be said that everything was smooth sailing.
! Xiaopei, which was just captured, only had more than a hundred soldiers. After seeing the power of Zhao Yun's 20,000 cavalry, those soldiers immediately left the city and surrendered! After capturing Xiaopei, Zhao Yun did not stop.
Meaning, but immediately move towards the next goal, which is Pengcheng!
Maoben Qingqi is worthy of being the best light cavalry in the world. In terms of speed, no army can compare with Maobin Qingqi! From Xiaopei to Pengcheng, if it were an ordinary army, it would take at least three days to march.
If it were an ordinary cavalry team, it would take a day and a night! But now, even one night has not passed, and the Mao Blade Qingqi is almost arriving at Pengcheng!
"General! Look! It's Pengcheng!" Zhao Yun and others were immersed in marching. Suddenly, a deputy general beside him shouted loudly. Zhao Yun subconsciously looked up, but his eyes couldn't help but light up. He saw the night sky in the distance.
, I don’t know when a burst of fire suddenly appeared, and the direction of the fire was exactly where Pengcheng was!
With such a strong fire, something unusual must have happened. Zhao Yun even felt that the fire looked familiar! Immediately, Zhao Yun shouted to the Qingqian soldiers behind him: "Speed up! Impact!"
"Here!" Twenty thousand swordsmen and light cavalry soldiers sang in unison, and their speed actually increased a few points! Figures quickly passed through the official road and rushed towards Pengcheng! Zhao Yun took the lead and ran for nearly a full mile.
After a long time, I could finally see Pengcheng clearly in front of me! As soon as I saw Pengcheng's current appearance, Zhao Yun immediately reined in the reins and subconsciously stopped his mount! The Qingqian soldiers behind him stopped when they saw Zhao Yun.
, they all followed suit and stopped. This action was not difficult for these soldiers with superb riding skills!
Zhao Yun looked at Pengcheng in front of him in astonishment, and finally understood why the fire looked so familiar when he just looked at it! So at this moment, the whole Pengcheng was already in a sea of fire! Zhao Yun captured Youzhou that day, and the previous section
When Guan Yu withdrew from the Bohai Sea, the scene of fire engulfing the city was exactly the same as before!
"What's going on?" Zhao Yun couldn't help but be surprised. Even if Zhuge Jin sent a messenger to inform Liu Bei, there was no need for Liu Bei to burn Pengcheng to the ground? It should be noted that Pengcheng was the place where Liu Bei made his fortune and the source of all Liu Bei's power.
The fire burned like this, but it didn't cost Zhao Yun anything at all. Didn't he lose the whole Pengcheng in vain? What's more, what surprised Zhao Yun was that in the fire in Pengcheng, there were bursts of screams and calls for help.
There were also many people running out of the city at the city gate! In other words, when the fire broke out, Liu Bei did not disperse the people in the city at all! This is completely inconsistent with Liu Bei's previous image of loving the people like his own son!
"General? What should I do?" The deputy general beside Zhao Yun was at a loss for a moment. He looked at Zhao Yun and waited for Zhao Yun's order to act.
Zhao Yun frowned and looked at the people who were hurriedly escaping from the fire in the city. He frowned and didn't care to think about Liu Bei's intention of doing this. He directly ordered the soldiers behind him: "Don't worry about anything else!
Save these people first!"
With Zhao Yun's order, the soldiers of the Maobian Qingqi also rushed towards the city in a swarm. The soldiers of the Maobian Qingqi were good at fighting, and they were also good at putting out fires and rescuing people. The soldiers even relied on their own riding skills.
, rushed into the burning houses in the city, rescued the trapped people on their horses, and then took them to escape from the city! With the help of the swordsman Qingqi, most of the people in the city were
They were rescued, and the fire gradually began to be extinguished. After dawn, the fire was completely extinguished, but most of the residences in the city were completely burned down, and the people were displaced!
