Chapter 675: Wanting to kill Yan Yan
Meng Da saw that Xu Huang had seized the city gate, and Liu Pi led his troops to kill him in the city, and he was immediately shocked. After seeing Qin Mi jump to his death, his face was even more pale.
He thought about it, Xu Huang must have seen through his intentions a long time ago, so he planned to lure Yan Yan out of the city.
secretly thought that Xu Huang would never let go of himself, so Meng Da rolled his eyes and wanted to run away.
Meng Da was just about to escape, but he was cut to the ground by a guard on the city wall, and he shouted loudly: "If it weren't for you, the thief, to lure the wolf into the house, how would Jiangzhou have fallen?" ”
After speaking, the adjutant general shouted loudly: "I can't defend Jiangzhou for the lord, so what face can I live in the world?" ”
A snow-white sword light flashed, and the deputy general who killed Meng Dana immediately killed himself.
Many loyal and righteous people, seeing that the destruction of the city had become a foregone conclusion, screamed sadly, and killed themselves in the city.
The remaining Jiangzhou defenders also had no fighting spirit and no determination to die in the city, so they hurriedly threw away their weapons and surrendered.
I'm afraid that even Meng Da himself didn't expect that he, who left a reputation in history, would die at the hands of an unknown deputy general.
Liu Pi led the army into the city, and Xu Huang immediately led a team of men and horses to rush to the city wall.
When he saw the deputy general of Jiangzhou and many loyal and righteous people, since the martyrdom of the city, he sighed quite embarrassedly: "In the land of Bashu, there are so many loyal and righteous people, but unfortunately Liu Zhang is not the master after all, and he can't use people." ”
"If the lord can seize the land of Yizhou and make the heroes of Bashu fall in love, why worry about big things?"
Jiangzhou City was captured without the slightest difficulty, Xu Huang called Hugh to kill the people, put out the list of people, and ordered those who killed themselves in the city to be buried thickly.
Then, he looked at Meng Da's corpse with a rather complicated face, with both disdain and a sense of relief.
Xu Huang knew that his father-in-law didn't like this person, but Meng Danai was a friend of Fazheng and Zhang Song, both of whom were resourceful and resourceful, and they were the key figures in Wen Zhao's capture of Yizhou.
If Meng Da is really captured, it will be difficult to calm the anger of the people without killing him, and he will not be able to give Wen Zhao an explanation. If Meng Da is killed, it is difficult to ensure that Fazheng and Zhang Song will not be disgruntled and miss the great cause of the Guanzhong army's southern expedition.
Therefore, for Xu Huang, Meng Da was killed by the deputy general of Jiangzhou, but it was a better situation.
A deputy general looked at Xu Huang staring at Meng Da's corpse, and immediately said: "General, this person is so vicious, he wants to kill me." ”
"If it weren't for the general's discernment, I'm afraid our army would definitely lose troops in Jiangzhou. Such a two-faced person, why didn't the general divide his body to vent his hatred? ”
Xu Huang shook his head and said: "Although this person conspired with Yan Yan and wanted to get us to enter the city, there was a reason for it after all. The deceased is the greatest, and since he is dead, we don't need to hold him accountable for his past mistakes. ”
"Pass the order and bury it!"
Although the deputy general was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, out of respect for Xu Huang, he didn't say anything, so he let Meng Da be buried thickly.
After Xu Huang had the corpses on the city wall cleaned up and imprisoned all the surrendered Jiangzhou soldiers together, he was about to lead the troops to inspect the city, when he suddenly saw a soldier running over in a hurry.
"General, general, something is wrong!"
Xu Huang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to you, why are you so panicked?" ”
The soldier said: "When General Liu Pi heard that General Gong Du had been killed, he was furious, and rushed to the cell with a group of men and horses, wanting to kill Yan Yan to avenge General Gong Du!" ”
Xu Huang's face changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Take me quickly!" ”
Liu Pi and Gong Du have been inseparable since the Yellow Turban Uprising, although they are not brothers, they are better than brothers.
On the battlefield today, because Liu Pi was not too close to Gong Du, he did not get the news of Gong Du's death.
After the battle was over, Liu Pi learned that Gong Du was killed by Yan Yan's arrow, and immediately his heart was like a knife, and he vowed to kill Yan Yan to avenge his hatred.
Xu Huang admired Yan Yan as a person, so although he was angry that he killed Gong Du on the battlefield, he still captured him alive and did not harm his life.
Not only that, Xu Huang also asked people to entertain Yan Yan in the prison cell, so as not to let this respectable veteran suffer.
As far as the public is concerned, Yan Yan is a famous general of Bashu, and he has a lot of prestige in Yizhou, if he can be persuaded to surrender, it will definitely be of great benefit to Wen Zhao to pacify Yizhou.
Privately, Yan Yan killed Gong Du, a close confidant of Wen Zhao, and in order to give an explanation to his father-in-law, Xu Huang couldn't let Yan Yan die now.
Therefore, after learning that Liu Bi was going to kill Yan Yan to take revenge, he hurriedly led a team of armor soldiers and rushed to the cell.
said that Liu Bi ran to the cell with red eyes and murderous spirit, but was stopped outside by the guards guarding Yan Yan.
Liu Pi was eager for revenge, and when he saw that the way was blocked, he immediately became furious and ordered his soldiers to take down all the people guarding the cell.
Although those soldiers were elite, they also knew that Liu Bunai was a general in Guanzhong, but they didn't dare to really use the sword soldiers, so they had to be handed over by Liu Pi's own soldiers.
After Liu Pi rushed into the cell in a rage, he saw Yan Yan lying on the clean and soft bed, and he was even more angry in his heart, and he wanted to humiliate Yan Yan.
He said to the soldiers behind him: "Take him here!" ”
The soldiers pulled Yan Yan with sharp knives in their hands, came to Liu Pi's side, and made Yan Yan kneel to the ground. Yan Yan held his head high, his face full of disdain.
Liu Bi stood in front, and when he saw that Yan Yan was not only willing to kneel, but also had such a posture, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "The general of the defeated army, the prisoner of the ranks, dare to be so arrogant?" ”
"The general is here, why don't you kneel?"
Yan Yan was not afraid, and replied to Liu Bi: "The man kneels to the sky and kneels to his parents, who are you, and dare to let me kneel?" ”
Liu Pi was even more angry in his heart, but he secretly thought: "This fight has killed my brother, if you kill this person just like this, wouldn't it be too cheap for him?" ”
"I first said that I would descend to this place, and then scolded him for not knowing his loyalty, and beheaded him, wouldn't it make this person's reputation ruined?"
Thinking of this, Liu Pi shouted instead: "We are waiting for the Son of Heaven to conquer injustice, and where the heavenly soldiers have passed, why don't you open the city and surrender early?" ”
"Today, your army is defeated and captured, if you are willing to surrender again, I will definitely try my best to save your life in front of the lord."
But he didn't want to, Yan Yan suddenly changed color, and scolded: "You are unjust, invade our state and county, there are only decapitated generals, no generals!" ”
Liu Pi was furious, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and he drank left and right.
Yan Yan's face remained unchanged, and he scolded loudly: "The thief, if you cut off your head, why are you angry?" If it weren't for Xu Huang's strategy, with a role like yours, what would it matter if there were ten? ”
"If the thief wants to kill, he will kill, if he frowns, he will not be a son of man!"
When Liu Bi heard this, new hatred and old hatred came to his heart together.
He suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted: "The general of the defeated army also dares to show the power of his tongue." Today, I'm going to kill you, an old horseman, to avenge General Gong Du!" ”
