Chapter 3 Ups and downs (seven beats) Yuan Wuben slowly stood up straight, everything was over. Just as the opponent's general said, he lost, completely lost this so-called "according to destiny, liberating the people"
The act of rebellion was a farce from the beginning. He brought an army of thirty thousand, but was defeated by four thousand disheveled cavalry in less than an hour by an unknown boy with an unknown origin and a rank of no more than fifth rank. Considering this ratio,
, Chu Gong’s command is said to be 300,000 people, how can it be compared to the opponent’s tens of thousands of troops?
After people are extremely desperate, they often show some kind of unusual calmness. Now Yuan Wu was like this. He no longer tried to commit suicide, nor did he think about how to avenge his nephew. Instead, he politely asked Xu Zi
He cupped his hands and asked politely like a friend meeting him for the first time: "Can you tell me where the general is from?"
Li Xu was stunned by Yuan Wuben's weird behavior. Before he could reply, Li Mengchang had already rushed over, pointed the tip of his knife at Yuan Wuben's face, and cursed loudly: "This man came from thousands of miles away from Liaodong."
We’ve come all this way, but if you clowns hadn’t made such a fuss, I would have wiped out Goguryeo long ago!”
"Liaodong?" Yuan Wuben asked in surprise. The only reason why he dared to lead the army to fight today was that he thought that the people coming were just improvised by nearby states and counties, trying to take advantage of the main force of the army to besiege Luoyang to come and pick up cheap places to seize troops this morning.
To make a detailed report, the soldiers and horses rushing back from Liaodong are still 700 miles away, and there is no way they can rush to Liyang City so quickly.
"Yuan has already admitted defeat, why would the general lie to me, a dying man?" Yuan Wuben didn't want to believe what Li Mengchang said, so he sneered and protested.
"We are indeed coming from Liaodong!" Seeing that Yuan Wuben no longer tried to resist, Li Xu put away his bow and politely replied that Liyang City was still in the hands of the rebels, and Yuan Wuben was the key figure in capturing Liyang, so Xu
After finishing his reply, he called the chief officer Zhao Ziming and the captain Cui Qian, and ordered them to restrain the soldiers and not allow them to harm the surrendered soldiers who had laid down their weapons, and those who had fled far away.
If the army is defeated, don't continue to pursue them. Let them fend for themselves.
Yuan Wuben watched quietly as Li Xu arranged everything. This result was exactly what he wanted to negotiate with the other party for his own rebellion. The crime was nothing more than death, but the farmers and boatmen who were bound by the agreement were not guilty. The officers and soldiers of the imperial court should not
After driving them all to death and seeing that the other party would fulfill his last wish without having to ask for it, he felt a little relieved, smiled sadly, and asked: "Since the general does not allow Yuan to commit suicide to thank the world, what are you going to do with Yuan?
"
"Liyang City is still in your hands. I don't want any more people to die!" Li Xu was stunned again and hastily replied that in his imagination, most of the rebels should be extremely vicious, so that they can be worthy of him along the way.
Yuan Wuben's wisdom and frankness were somewhat beyond his expectations for the atrocities he had witnessed. Even when he had just given the order not to harm the prisoners, the other party seemed to have guessed all his thoughts.
Dealing with people who are too smart is a headache. Xuzi knew that he might not be able to convince Yuan Wuben with his eloquence. Just when he was thinking about his next words, Yuan Wuben spoke first, "Lang
Your Majesty, I would like to ask Yuan to dedicate the city, but I would like to ask, what benefit will this bring to Yuan?"
"Benefits?" Li Xu's eyes widened instantly. He didn't want to attack Liyang City. The number of brothers in the Xiongwu Camp was limited, and Liyang City had always existed as the granary of the Sui Dynasty. The city wall must not be too thin, but it would prevent the lives of people from continuing to suffer.
The rhetoric obviously failed to impress Yuan Wuben. According to the laws of the Sui Dynasty, Yuan Wuben, as the backbone of the anti-thieves, would definitely have his family confiscated and exterminated. When a person knew that his whole family was going to be killed, someone tried to persuade him to be kind to the people.
Is this not seeking the skin of a tiger?
"Son of a bitch, you're so arrogant!" Li Mengchang roared, jumped off his horse, and landed a few old punches on the prisoner's place. I've never seen such an arrogant prisoner today if he didn't beat him all over the ground and find his teeth.
He wrote the word "Li" backwards for three or five times, and his fist couldn't hit him anymore. Yuan Wuben put on a calm look, not hiding, not dodging, not begging for mercy, not moaning, as if the person being beaten was not someone at all.
he himself
"Stop! Don't hurt Mr. Yuan!" Li Xu quickly shouted to stop the captain Li Mengchang. The force of his fists was not small. Once Yuan Wuben was killed, everyone would have to spend more time attacking the city.
Li Mengchang groaned angrily and stood aside, his eyes constantly wandering over Yuan Wuben. This man was so strange, he almost didn't look like a prisoner. Since they were defeated, the other rebel soldiers were kneeling on the ground in darkness, but this person was not allowed to take office.
I have been a "county officer" for two months, but my behavior can be described in four words: calm and composed.
"This Captain is so strong!" Yuan Wuben straightened up again, wiped the blood from his face, and said proudly. After a pause, he extended his hand to Li Xu again, "Thank you, General, for showing mercy, Yuan Wuben."
It’s so unforgettable!”
"How offended!" Li Xu had to repay the other person's generosity with courtesy. His courage had already won his respect. If a person is not afraid of death, no one can do anything to him.
Yu Wenshiji ended his pursuit of the rebels and hurried over. Far away, he saw this strange scene. With his intuition, he guessed that Li Xu captured Yuan Wuben alive in order to capture the Liyang Dan scholar-bureaucrat without any blood.
Xu Zi obviously didn't understand the game they were playing. Yuan Wu was arrogant in front of him. In contrast, Li Xu, Li Mengchang and others were sullen, as if they had just lost a battle.
Yuwenshiji jumped off his horse, walked towards Yuanwuben with a smile, stood five feet in front of the opponent, clasped his fists, bowed to his heart, and bowed with the courtesy of an ordinary person, "Yuwenshiji and Yuanshiji have heard the name of Lord Yuan for a long time.
It’s an honor to meet you.”
"I've heard of you for a long time, I'm glad to meet you, I'm glad to meet you!" Yuan Wuben turned half sideways and bowed flatly, saying that he had heard of Yuwen Shiji's name and knew the importance of the Yuwen family. Think about it, today he is in a big position.
In the hands of the Sui Dynasty Prince Consort, I felt more and more at ease.
If someone happened to pass by at this moment, they would not believe that Yuan Wuben and Yu Wenshi, who were life and death rivals before half a stick of incense, politely greeted each other, politely greeted each other, and politely lamented that fate has tricked people.
When they met on the battlefield, they politely treated Li Xu and the others in Xiongwu Camp as puppets.
The soldiers who went to chase the enemy came back and handed over orders to the general to take care of the wounded. The soldiers who counted the number of dead also completed their tasks. They were holding a stack of names of people and were waiting for the general and the supervisor to check and take in the prisoners.
, the soldiers who collected the trophies had almost completed their mission. They stepped forward and asked for advice on how to deal with the aftermath. Seeing Lord Yuwen chatting lively with the enemy general, they stood beside Li Xu in stunned silence.
"Now that the outcome has been decided, why bother dragging the whole city to be buried with you?" Yu Wenshiji and Yuan Wuben lamented that they were fed up with their fate, and slowly turned the conversation to the main topic.
"Yuan Mou has already admitted defeat. Yuan Mou just asked, if Yuan Mou offers the city, how will the generals reward each other?" Yuan Wuben put away his smile, showed an indifferent look again, and answered
This attitude angered many generals, and they all gathered around, wanting to teach this man a lesson, but Yu Wenshiji waved his hands to stop everyone from taking further actions, "After taking Li Yang, I will behead you and show it to your family."
, both old and young, will all become the private slaves of the Yuwen family!" He thought for a while and said solemnly as if he had just reached a deal with Yuan Wuben.
Everyone, including Li Xu, was stunned again. Before using a person, he told him that he was going to kill him and turn his family into slaves. This kind of "reward" condition could only be imagined by Yu Wenshiji.
You have to figure it out! But Yuan Wu didn't accept this trick at all. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then walked up to Yu Wenshi and the horse, knelt down and knelt down to thank the Prime Minister.
"Thank you so much, Yuan, General Yuwen!" Yuan Wuben touched his hands to his forehead, bowed his head deeply, and bowed again, and three times!
In the astonished eyes of everyone, Yuwen Shiji bowed to Yuan Wuben three times and then helped him up with both hands. "The general's name is too obvious, so I can only do this!" He explained politely, his tone full of helplessness.
Yuan Wuben shook his head slightly and stepped back a few steps. The general of the Yuwen family brought another horse over and helped Yuan Wuben climb up.
"May I ask the two generals, what are you going to do with these two reduced soldiers?" Yuan Wuben, who climbed up behind the horse, resumed his aloof posture and asked proudly.
"This?" Li Xu looked at Yuwen Shiji, hoping that the other party could find a suitable plan. Just now, Zhao Ziming and He Cuiqian had conveyed his general orders. Except for a few soldiers who ran too far, most of them
The soldiers have all galloped back. At present, there are only more than 4,000 soldiers in the Xiongwu camp, but there are more than 20,000 prisoners kneeling on the ground waiting to be dealt with! With the entire battle situation unclear, so many prisoners are being kept around,
It is definitely a burden. Once the prisoners suddenly bomb the camp during a battle with the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Please give me some advice, Master Yuan!" Yu Wenshiji gave Yuan Wuben the opportunity to make suggestions without hesitation.
"The food stored in Liyang is enough to consume an army of 100,000 for at least five years! They" Yuan Wuben sneered and pointed at the trembling captives kneeling on the ground, "Do you think they know what they are doing?"
"They know, they just have no choice!" Before Yu Wenshi could reply, Li Xu added coldly. He suddenly felt very regretful, regretting that he didn't take action to beat Yuan himself just now. His right hand was on the handle of the knife.
He heard his knuckles crack
