231 Birthday Celebration

Yuan Shu, who was tied up with five flowers, was pushed over, and at this time, he was still wearing a dragon robe, wearing a crown, and his mouth was tightly stuffed.

It's just that Yuan Shu, who has been reduced to a prisoner, no longer has the spirit of the past, and the dragon robe on his body is also torn and tattered because of the chaos, and there is still some mud on his body, which looks extremely embarrassing.

"Yuan Highway! We meet again! Zhang Yan personally took out the thing that blocked Yuan Shu's mouth and said with a smile.

After Yuan Shu saw Zhang Yan, he didn't say anything, and was unusually silent.

"What? Dumb? Zhang Yan saw that Yuan Shu was silent, so he asked.

Yuan Shu said coldly: "You are dumb, I have become a prisoner, what else is there to say, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" ”

It was not the first time that Zhang Yan and Yuan Shu had met, but at this time, Yuan Shu's words made him feel that Yuan Shu was quite imposing, so he asked, "Are you not afraid of death?" ”

Yuan Shu said: "Anyway, I am also the person who has been the emperor for a few days, if I am afraid of this and that, how can I be the emperor?" Since I was captured by you, I never thought I would survive! ”

"That's right! There are no two lords of the country, when the son is still in Pengcheng today, you dare to openly claim the emperor, and your ambition is not small. You are guilty of great rebellion, and everyone in the world will be punished! Death is inevitable, the key depends on how to die! Zhang Yan said.

Yuan Shu sneered: "I know my sin, it is nothing more than the fate of Ling Chi and the car cracking. However, I'm not reconciled, is that little kid surnamed Liu so worthy of your life for him? The Han dynasty has already collapsed, and since Dong Zhuo took power, the Han has existed in name only. Now the heroes are divided. Who doesn't want to be the king and dominate. It's just that. I dare to be the first in the world, I don't want to hide it, although I failed to claim the emperor, but there will inevitably be many people in my footsteps in the future! Then again, when you got Liu Xie to Pengcheng, did you really want to assist him? I don't think so, right? Don't you want to be an emperor? ”

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I don't want to be the emperor, that's my business." Besides, you can't see it either. But at this stage, this world is still the world surnamed Liu, at least Liu Xie is still recognized as the Son of Heaven, even if the heroes are all divided into one side, they don't have the courage to openly claim the emperor. You dare to be the first in the world, but it is quite admirable. It's just a pity that your army is so vulnerable that I didn't bother at all. I'll beat you. However, you made the emperor for a few days. It's worth it in this life, at least you will leave a strong mark in history, although it is in the biography of the thief...... Okay, I won't say more, what to do with you depends on what the Son of Heaven means! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan said to Xu Huang: "Order someone to escort Yuan Shu and others to Pengcheng and hand them over to the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Whoa!" Xu Huang hugged his fists.

Xu Huang called his subordinates and escorted Yuan Shu, Yang Hong, Han Yin, Yuan Yin, and many family members of the thieves away, and sent people to escort them to Pengcheng.

"Lord, our army has seized a lot of gold, silver and jewelry from Yuan Shu, I don't know what to do with it?" Xu Huang asked with his fists clenched.

Zhang Yan said: "How many?" ”

"A whole thousand boxes!" Xu Huang replied.

Zhang Yan didn't think about it, so he said: "Let people transport it back to Shouchun first, and after the value is assessed, all the three armies will be rewarded!" ”

When Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals heard this, they were all very happy, and they hugged their fists together and said: "The last general and other generals of the whole army thank the lord for the reward!" ”

Zhang Yan smiled, and then ordered the army to return to Shouchun, and he also sent scouts to let all the armies gather in Shouchun, and he and Zhang Liao took the lead in returning to Shouchun with cavalry.

At this time, Shouchun had been occupied by Zhang Yan's army, and Jia Xu's army arrived at the foot of Shouchun City.

Jia Xu asked Mi Fang to lead an army of 10,000 into the city, and the rest of the army, all under the management of Chen Ying and Li Dian, were stationed outside the city.

After the army entered the city, there was no offense with Minqiu, and Jia Xu asked Mi Fang to lead the rapid occupation of important places such as granaries, arsenals, and city gates in the city.

At about noon, Zhang Yan and Zhang Liao and others returned to Shouchun, Jia Xu led the civil and military to meet them, Zhang Yan learned that Jia Xu and Minqiu had no crime, and occupied Shouchun City, and Jia Xu's handling was very agreeable.

Subsequently, Xu Chu, Liu Xun, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun arrived in Shouchun with a large army, and Zhang Yan asked them to station all their troops outside Shouchun City, and set aside a special area for stationing, so that the armies of He Yi, Liu Pi, and He Man were stationed in the north of the city, Liu Xun's troops were stationed in the south of the city, and the armies of Xu Huang and Gao Shun were stationed in the west of the city.

For a time, inside and outside Shouchun City, an army of nearly 200,000 people gathered, which was an unprecedented scale.

In the evening, Zhang Yan ordered the generals to be summoned to Shouchun, and asked the Shouchun county commander to take out wine and meat from the city, reward the three armies, and let the army drink happily all night.

Zhang Yan and everyone are in the palace built by Yuan Shu, in the hall, Zhang Yangao sits in the first position, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Lu Su, Gu Yong, Yang Xiu and others sit on the left, and Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Chen Ying, Li Dian, Mi Fang, Liu Xun, He Yi, Liu Bi, He Man, Mei Cheng and others all sit on the right side of the hall.

Everyone sat on the ground, and there were several cases in front of them, and on the tables, there were sumptuous drinks and dishes.

From Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor to Yuan Shu's capture, there were only seven short days, which can be said to be a miracle. Moreover, Zhang Yan's soldiers and horses, in this war, the number of casualties is only a handful, which can also be said to be a great miracle.

Zhang Yan raised the wine lord full of wine, held it high above his head, and said with a smile: "You have all contributed a lot to quelling the rebellion. Tonight's celebration, although you drink heartily, you must not get drunk and do not return. Come, this mansion will give you a cup first, if it weren't for your hard work, this mansion would not have captured Yuan Shu so smoothly. This house does it first for respect! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan drank it all, and everyone in the hall raised their glasses and drank happily.

Then, Zhang Yan clapped his hands, and a group of dancing girls came from outside the hall, and the musicians sitting on both sides of the hall also began to play music.

Tonight, the entire Shouchun City and beyond. They were all immersed in joy. The people were captured because of Yuan Shu. And cheering and dancing, the soldiers were very happy because they captured Yuan Shu, and the entire Shouchun City became a paradise on earth with laughter and laughter.

That night, Zhang Yan drank two more glasses of wine because he was happy, and he was slightly drunk, and he was very happy to see all the generals. My heart is even happier.

After destroying Yuan Shu, his worries can be solved.

Now that Sun Ce has not occupied Jiangdong, the situation in Jiangdong is still scattered, and Chen Deng is sitting in Jinling, which is enough to deter the thieves in Jiangdong. And the Jiangdong thieves are all independent and not subordinate to each other, and they can't form a liliang that can compete with them. Even if Sun Ce gradually rises, it will take a few years to fully possess Jiangdong. In this way, Jiangdong will not pose a threat to him.

Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou are both divided from one side, both of them are relatives of the Han family. Therefore, he still maintains an intimate attitude towards the imperial court, and Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are self-guarded. Zhang Yan didn't take them seriously at all.

In addition, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou, and Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Duan Xuan, who are still entrenched in Guanzhong, although they are all based on one side, their strength is not enough to compete with them, and the location is remote, and there is no direct conflict with his Shili range, so Zhang Yan did not take them seriously at all.

And the real enemy is Yuan Shao, who is dominant in Jizhou.

Yuan Shao has already occupied Bingzhou, and it is reported that he is now preparing to start an attack on Gongsun Zhan, once Gongsun Chan is destroyed, Youzhou will become Yuan Shao's territory. In this way, Yuan Shao will dominate Hebei. Then in the next step, Yuan Shao will lead the army south and compete with Zhang Yan for hegemony in the Central Plains.

Zhang Yan's psychology is very clear, Yuan Shao is not Yuan Shu, it is not so easy to defeat, and at this time, Yuan Shao has incorporated Cao Cao, which is even more difficult to deal with. Unless he had enough strength, Zhang Yan would definitely not rush into war with Yuan Shao.

After three rounds of drinking, a person suddenly walked over from outside, and then whispered something in Jia Xu's ear.

After Jia Xu heard this, his face did not change, he just nodded lightly, and let the person leave.

At this time, Jia Xu stood up, walked straight to Zhang Yan's side, and whispered something in Zhang Yan's ear. After hearing this, Zhang Yan frowned and hurriedly asked, "Is this serious?" ”

"It's true!"

"Wait for me in the council chamber, I'll be there in a moment!"

"Whoa!"

Jia Xu quietly left the hall, and all the generals were drinking happily, and no one noticed.

After a while, Zhang Yan suddenly stood up, pretended to be drunk, and immediately said to everyone: "Everyone, this mansion is not strong enough to drink, you can't drink anymore, you drink slowly here, and this mansion will go to rest first!" ”

"Congratulations to the General!" Everyone said in unison.

Zhang Yan left the hall in full view of everyone, walked quickly to the meeting hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked Jia Xu, who was already in the hall, "Who is the person who hijacked the prisoner car?" ”

Jia Xu hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, the robbers are all dressed in black and masked, all of them are strong in martial arts, and it was a sudden attack, the soldiers who escorted Yuan Shu were defenseless, and they were killed, so they ran back to report!" As for who it is, they can't say why. ”

Zhang Yan said angrily: "Damn! It's so hateful! Who was so bold that he dared to rob Yuan Shu? ”

"The subordinates have ordered the scouts to investigate, please rest assured, tomorrow morning, there will be results."

"Well, when you find the robbers, tell me immediately!"

"Yes, my lord." Jia Xu hugged his fist respectfully, and then said, "Lord, there is another matter under my subordinates, I don't know if I should talk about it?" ”

"Say it!"

Jia Xu said: "Liu Xun, when he was under Yuan Shu's account, was a general, and his ability was no less than that of Ji Ling and Zhang Xun. But this person is pampered and arrogant, and often has a bad intention. If he can rebel against Yuan Shu today, he will rebel against the lord tomorrow. And Lujiang is located in a key position, if he is still stationed here, over time, I am afraid that there will be disasters, it is better to take advantage of Liu Xun in the city, kill him, take away his army, in order to prevent future troubles! ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yan thought for a moment and asked: "What the military advisor said is very reasonable, but Liu Xun has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light before the war. In the future, who will dare to take refuge in me? ”

Jia Xu said: "Don't worry, the lord has a plan that is enough to put Liu Xun to death, and it will not damage the reputation of the lord." ”

"Oh? If there is really such a plan, then Liu Xun can be killed. Strategist, you might as well talk about this plan! ”

"Whoa!" (To be continued......)
