"Li Xun, you traitor!" Xin Yongda felt dead in his heart. Of course he knew that he was in doom today. It was obvious that everything was planned by the Han army.
He cursed Li Xun with his mouth, but in his heart he cursed not only Li Xun, but also Wang Long and others.
These traitors really deserve to die!
Li Xun smiled and said: "The general trend of the world is that those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Now that my great Han Majesty is known to the world for his sage, wisdom and martial prowess, why should the worthy brother of the Xin family continue to resist and fight with birds and beasts?"
Xin Yongda said coldly: "Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. The heroes of the Xin family in the past generations will not be ministers of both ends."
"Then why did Brother Xin Xian go out of the city instead of fighting to the death to martyr his country?" Li Xun raised the whip in his hand, his words laced with joking.
Xin Yongda was speechless for a moment.
Why, needless to say, because I am actually afraid.
If he had known that he was in such an embarrassing situation and was laughed at by Li Xun, he should have died in the city without mercy.
"Who dares to capture this beast for me!" Li Xun shouted.
Wei Yuancheng couldn't hold himself back for a long time, and straightened up the horse in his hand: "I will serve as a general and catch thieves!"
Xin Yongda looked at the Han soldiers around him who were looking at him eagerly, but he didn't have much fighting spirit. He rushed to leave in a hurry, but the Han soldiers behind him also charged forward with their guns.
He yelled and slashed with his knife, but spears and spears were not that easy to deal with. Rows of spears stabbed him, forcing Xin Yongda to retreat.
Wei Yuancheng had already pounced on him from behind. Xin Yongda could barely block the guy's swing, and turned around to leave, but he was too late. Wei Yuancheng had long expected that he would not be willing to fight, and kept holding the knife with his other hand.
On the handle, the horizontal sword suddenly came out of its sheath, drew an arc, and chopped off Xin Yongda's head.
Blood spurted out, and the head rolled to the ground, with a complicated look on his face.
There was shock, fear, and reluctance.
Wei Yuancheng picked up the head with a horse spear and returned to Li Xun: "General, luckily you have not disgraced your order!"
Li Xun said helplessly: "I want you to be captured alive."
Wei Yuancheng smiled awkwardly and couldn't help scratching his head. He was so excited that he forgot.
Several friends next to him who also came from the general family burst out laughing.
This kid has always been irritable and aggressive, and it's normal for him to be quick at times.
And Li Xun ordered his people to accept the head and give credit to Wei Yuancheng. The Xin family in Hebei is certainly not a small family, especially since Xin Wei has been a general. It should have been the target of contact and traction with the northern generals like them. Looking at it now
It's a bit difficult, but on the battlefield, swords don't have eyesight, and there is no need for Li Xun to gamble with the lives of his own soldiers. If Xin Yongda dies, he will die.
At this time, there was a commotion at the city gate, and Huang Wan had already rushed over with his people. When he saw Li Xun, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xin Yongda did not run away, which was good.
What is more worrying now is the news that the Taiyuan Wang family has defected to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Huang Wan counted the prisoners as soon as he entered the city. However, the biggest mouthpiece is naturally Xin Yongda. If Xin Yongda cannot be captured, the Taiyuan Wang family is very likely to
very dangerous.
This time, in order to deceive Xin Yongda into opening the door, Wang Long did not hesitate to expose himself, so the big man could not treat Wang badly.
However, Huang Wan was also very depressed. Although the Yingyang Army and Baipao should be equally responsible for the destruction of the city, they still did not have full credit. Xin Yongda did not want to risk his life, but chose to escape, either because he was timid or because of
It was because I felt that the news of the Taiyuan Wang family's betrayal of the Zhou Dynasty was really shocking and had to be spread out as soon as possible, but it happened to be ambushed by Li Xun.
Even if he is unlucky, he is also unlucky. Huang Wan can only feel this way.
"Congratulations, General."
Huang Wan stepped forward on his horse, and Li Xun also handed over his hand. The two of them almost spoke in unison.
The two looked at each other in surprise, and then laughed.
No matter how the credit is distributed, Puzhou is considered to have been won, and the door to Hedong is opened. There will be more credit in the future!
Yecheng.
In the past, Pei Mansion was bustling with traffic and an endless stream of visitors.
But since the Battle of Hedong began, Pei Mansion has become increasingly deserted.
Of course, part of the reason is that Pei Ju has already dismissed most of the people in the mansion, but in name only, it is actually for the purpose of allowing them to sneak out of Yecheng and return to Hedong. The imperial court has not yet taken action against the Hedong family.
Pei Ju had to make preparations.
Another part of the reason is naturally that Pei Ju resigned from most of his actual positions of power, leaving only a dispensable knight standing on his head. As we all know, regardless of north or south, this is just an honorary title.
Without power, naturally no one would come to visit.
Pei Ju was happy to be at ease.
There are already dark clouds outside and undercurrents are surging, but in my yard, I only feel that a beam of light is still shining.
Sitting opposite Pei Ju at this time was Chen Yu, the man in charge of the white robe.
If Yu Wenxian saw the man in front of him, he would probably want to send someone to cut him into pieces immediately.
How much information was stolen by this guy, and how many soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty died in battle because of the leaked information, they can no longer be counted. And the culprit of all these losses is this man who seems to have been living in the dark.
The white-robed commander of the Han Dynasty, Chen Yu.
Pei Ju didn't know how much power Chen Yu held in his hands, but he knew that since Chen Yu had the ability to sit opposite him, sitting in the Pei Mansion at the feet of the emperor, naturally the power in his hands was greater than his own.
Imagine.
The white robe of the Han Dynasty has been developing silently for so many years, just like a spider weaving a web, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the prey in this web. It depends on when the spider is willing to eat.
Pei Ju whispered: "I heard that the Han Dynasty is making good progress in Hedong?"
Chen Yu said calmly: "Fenglingdu has been destroyed, and Puzhou should be recovered in the near future. Hedong will return to the Han family, probably at the beginning of the year."
"Is the army so confident in taking Puzhou?" Pei Ju couldn't help but ask.
His heart was a little complicated. As a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty for so many years, it was impossible to say that he didn't have any sense of belonging in his heart. The interests of the family were important, but people also had emotions and desires, and they had real emotions. Let him abandon the feeling of belonging.
Northern Zhou's emotions were not an easy thing to do in the first place, not to mention that it was also related to the life and death of his family, which made him walk on thin ice and even did not dare to take the next step at all.
But looking at it now, it is inevitable for the Han Dynasty to occupy Hedong. If Pei Ju doesn't show anything at this time, I'm afraid that
Therefore, he asked this question: If the Han Dynasty cannot capture Puzhou quickly, then Hedong will still be the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he has to weigh it up.
Chen Yu glanced at him, but his voice was still calm: "Wang Long, the governor of Hebei County, was at Fenglingdu at that time. He had surrendered to the Han Dynasty and was willing to cheat to leave Puzhou. Therefore, taking Puzhou is nothing more than a matter of nearby affairs."
Pei Ju, who was holding the tea cup and blowing the tea leaves to cover up his inner anxiety, shook his hands violently, and the hot water spilled directly on his sleeves and hands, but he didn't notice it at all.
