After Zhang Fei roared angrily, Guan Yu also appeared on the long street holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
Two groups of soldiers and horses attacked and repelled the rebel army of Lei Bo, Chen Lan and others. Liu Bei led Gao Shun's army to fight out in time and gradually controlled the surrounding situation. However, Liu Bei only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, but the rebel army had nearly 1,000 soldiers.
Wan, although he controlled some surrounding strongholds, fires broke out everywhere in the city.
After Liu Bei invaded Luoyang, he rescued more than a thousand women and placed them in the city. At this time, the sound of laughter and wailing came from the direction of those women. Guan Yu led hundreds of soldiers and horses to kill them. They were raping and plundering.
More than a hundred rebel soldiers were killed, and the rest dispersed in a hurry.
The sound of killings in the city was loud, and flames rose outside the city. The refugees gathered by Liu Bei were picked up by the rebels and scattered into the darkness. For a whole night, everything inside and outside the city turned into the color of flames and blood.
After dawn, the rebels were finally suppressed. Liu Bei, wearing steel armor, sat on the tower, looking at the black smoke floating into the sky from far and near, his face a little gloomy. Guan Yu strode up, cupped his hands and said: "My lord,
The rebels in the city have been cleared, and more than a thousand people have been arrested. Please tell me how to deal with it, general!"
Liu Bei stood up after hearing this. Without answering, he pointed to the burned hut outside the city and asked, "We gathered more than 2,000 people and placed them there. Does Yun Chang know how many people are left now?"
Guan Yu said solemnly: "Less than three hundred."
Liu Bei's face showed a trace of exhaustion, and he laughed at himself: "In the past, I heard that General Huangfu slaughtered one hundred thousand Yellow Turban surrender soldiers. I thought he killed too much and harmed the peace of the world. Today, it seems that I was too naive!
"
Guan Yu remained silent, and Yan Xiang, who was behind Liu Bei, immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My subordinates are guilty. If Yang Dezu's plan had been used earlier, how could things have happened today? General, please punish me!"
Yang Xiu sneered on the side and said: "Those rebels are already doing all kinds of evil under Yuan Shu, how can they be stopped in a short time? These people are also a disaster if they are kept, it is better to deal with them as soon as possible."
Liu Bei walked over, helped Yan Xiang up, and comforted him: "It's none of your business, sir. Such a thing happened because I was incapable of leading the troops. Gao Shun had already asked before, and it was because of the lack of funds in the Japanese army these days.
, which led to dissatisfaction among the soldiers, and Lei Bo, Chen Lan and others started making noise in the army, thus triggering a rebellion."
Yang Xiu said anxiously from the side: "Ming Gong, you can no longer be kind to women now!"
Before Liu Bei could speak, Guan Yu snorted coldly. Liu Bei waved his hand, pondered for a while, and said, "There should be an explanation for this matter."
He led Guan Yu, Yang Xiu and others to the outside of the city. Zhang Fei was leading thousands of cavalry to guard the rebel soldiers. At this time, the rebel soldiers lost their previous enthusiasm and all looked weak. Seeing Liu Bei's arrival,
Someone shouted: "General, give us something to eat! We haven't eaten anything all day and night!"
Zhang Fei rode over, reversed the handle of his gun, knocked down the man who spoke, and cursed angrily: "My eldest brother was kind and kind, and he divided some from the army rations to feed you. You wolf-hearted people don't want to repay your kindness.
That’s all, you actually dare to cause trouble! Want to eat? No! I only have steel knives and whips for you to eat!"
"Yide stop!"
Liu Bei came forward. Under the protection of the soldiers, he lifted up the wailing soldier on the ground, then patted the dust on his body and said, "You said you haven't eaten anything for a whole day. This is indeed my fault."
.But does it mean that because of this, you can launch a rebellion and kill people indiscriminately?"
The soldier lowered his head in a panic and muttered: "But we are hungry!"
Liu Bei looked at the rioters sitting on the ground. They were all dirty. A sad expression appeared on his face. He turned around and asked, "How much food is left in the army?"
The chief clerk came up and replied: "There are only three days of food and grass left!"
After hearing this, Liu Bei said: "Take some out, cook some meat porridge, and let them eat on the road."
After saying that, he turned and left. Yang Xiu was ordered to stay. First, he cooked some porridge for the rebels, and then ordered them to dig a big hole, saying that he wanted to bury all the people who died in the turmoil last night.
stand up.
After digging for a while, the pit on the ground was already very big, enough to bury a thousand people. However, Yang Xiu felt that it was not enough, so he forced the rebels to jump into the pit and continued to dig the pit deeper. Although the rebels were reluctant, they still
They continued to dig. After digging for a long time, the pit became larger and larger. The rebel soldiers below noticed something was wrong and began to make noises below.
The leader shouted: "Stop digging, brothers, stop digging!"
Then he shouted upwards: "General, the pit has been dug big enough, let us go up!"
Yang Xiu walked to the edge of the pit with a sneer and said, "It's so comfortable down here, why do you come up here? Just stay down there!"
"What? What do you want to do?"
"He wants to trap us! Brothers, fight them!"
There were four to five hundred rebel soldiers at the bottom of the pit. They struggled to climb up, but were easily killed by the soldiers guarding above with spears and bows and arrows. Screams sounded from the bottom of the pit and above at the same time. They had been digging for a long time,
The rebel soldiers who were put to rest were surrounded by thousands of infantry, stabbed randomly with spears, and soon turned into corpses on the ground.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
One corpse after another was thrown into the pit, and the corpses fell from above one after another, scaring the surviving rebel soldiers at the bottom of the pit to scream. After all their comrades were thrown down, the dead in the turmoil last night
They were all thrown into the pit. Some women were still naked and were just thrown down by the soldiers.
Gao Shun commanded the soldiers with an expressionless face, threw all the corpses down, and then began to fill the pit with soil.
Those rebel soldiers who were lucky enough to be alive at the bottom of the pit could no longer hide. They climbed onto the pile of corpses and shouted crazily at the top, "Spare your life, spare your life!"
"General, spare your life, we will never dare again!"
"Spare your life, spare your life!"
The surrounding soldiers were oblivious, and they silently filled the pit with soil. The corpses were gradually buried in the sand, and the soldiers who were waving their arms wildly gradually became silent. The pit was filled, and they were never seen again.
Not to mention the horrific sights at the bottom.
Yang Xiu's face showed a happy look. He walked slowly over and stepped on the filled soil, feeling very satisfied.
A smile bloomed from the corners of his mouth, and laughter burst out uncontrollably from his chest.
"Hehe, haha, hahahaha!"
Yang Xiu first chuckled, then laughed, and finally laughed wildly. After laughing for a long time, he finally stopped, and then rode back to the city. When he arrived at Liu Bei's residence, he ignored Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Yan Xiang.
The others bowed longly to Liu Bei, then straightened up and said: "Ming Gong, my subordinates are fortunate to have fulfilled their orders and have dealt with those rebels!"
Liu Bei nodded slightly and said: "Yun Chang will stay behind with five hundred soldiers and horses. The others will continue to pursue Yuan Shu eastward with me tomorrow! Even if he runs to the end of the world, he must get the punishment he deserves!"
As he spoke, Liu Bei's body was full of murderous aura, as if he had already undergone many changes in just one night.
But it is said that after Yuan Shu fled hastily from Luoyang City, he took all the civil and military officials and beauties in the harem and rushed to his hometown in Runan. Only halfway, he heard that Liu Yao, Liu Biao, Tao Qian, Cao Cao and others had already invaded Yuzhou.
And all the counties were divided up.
After learning the news, the accompanying 10,000 soldiers and horses were in a panic. At this time, Xia Houyuan arrived with 8,000 cavalry, and Yuan Shu's army collapsed at the first touch. The arrogant and arrogant Yuan Gongli abandoned his civil and military ministers, and abandoned Qianjiaobaimei.
The beauties from the harem made a U-turn in the carriage and fled north.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?"
At this time, the only ones who continued to follow Yuan Shu were the three to four hundred cavalry led by General Ji Ling.
Yuan Shu shouted on the carriage: "Go to Hebei! Yuan Benchu and I both come from the Yuan family in Runan. He will never ignore me! The worst... I will just give him the position of emperor."
!”
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are both descendants of the Yuan family and originally had no grudges. However, in order to compete for the title of direct lineage of the Yuan family and to obtain the political resources of the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family, they have been fighting openly and secretly for more than ten years. Recently, they have openly fought against each other.
Yuan Shu supported Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan in attacking Hebei, while Yuan Shao sent Zhou Ang to lead troops to attack Yangcheng.
At that time, both Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao regarded each other as the biggest enemy on the road ahead. But in just half a year, things changed. Yuan Shao had repelled Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan and stabilized the situation in Hebei. His
Ally Cao Cao also established a foothold in the Central Plains, not only controlling the entire Yanzhou, but also extending his power to the south of the Huaihe River.
And Yuan Shu first defeated the general Sun Jian, and then lost his hometown of Runan. He was also hunted down like a lost dog, and fled in a hurry. Now the whole world is full of people who want to kill Yuan Shu, and Yuan Jiuji, a fierce ghost on the road, raises his eyes.
Looking around, he had no choice but to seek refuge with Yuan Benchu, whom he once ridiculed as "a little slave."
From Henan to Hebei, one must either pass through Yanzhou, which is controlled by Cao Cao, or Hanoi, which is occupied by Zhang Yang. Yuan Shu was repeatedly beaten and defeated by Cao Cao. He had already developed a psychological shadow and did not dare to pass by Yanzhou. So he found a ferry and took a boat.
He crossed the Yellow River and prepared to pass through the Hanoi governor's territory and go to Yuan Shao.
He thought very clearly that he was a direct descendant of the Yuan family after all. Even after proclaiming himself emperor, many of his disciples and old officials would still support him. As long as he bowed his head to Yuan Shao, there would be no problem in keeping his glory and wealth.
Yuan Shu knew that Yuan Benchu also had the ambition to become emperor, and Yuan Shao would definitely be satisfied if he could get the support of people like him!
Three to four hundred cavalrymen surrounded Yuan Shu and fled to Hebei. They were discovered by soldiers and civilians along the way in Hanoi. Soon, Zhang Yang mobilized thousands of troops and horses, preparing to intercept and kill Yuan Shu. The emperor of Chang'an had ordered that no matter who could get the
Yuan Shu's head will be rewarded with "a thousand pieces of gold and ten thousand households"!
