"You can travel around the world with the help of the earth, and you can be friends with the wind and the rain." Xunzi wrote.
After Gan Ning and others organized their troops and left the tent, Lou Fa, Shen Mi and others led their troops and horses back to the city gate in an attempt to separate the old soldiers in the city from the old soldiers outside. Gan Ning and Wang Yue led the most powerful men. Eight hundred elite children went straight to the Prefectural Mufu to kill them.
At this time, corpses of the Wu clan were lying everywhere in the streets and alleys near the Prefectural Mufu. The old men guarding the area were also the bravest. Gan Ning took the lead and led the children to charge forward one by one. , they stand side by side, supporting each other and attacking alternately. Just like they were crossing the river and killing people brutally, they have a deep friendship with each other and a tacit understanding between offense and defense.
The Qiang and Di old people were almost no match. They quickly fled behind the hastily constructed antler wall at the entrance of the alley, trying to use the narrow terrain to continue their resistance. A child passenger running in front saw this and immediately stopped at the entrance of the alley. He squatted down where he was walking, straining his body with all his strength, while another boy who was following him rushed over, stepped on his shoulder, jumped into the air, and swung his knife in the air. chop.
This knife hit an old man's neck accurately, splitting off his head. Pillars of blood spurted out from his neck, and a smelly rain of blood suddenly fell in the narrow alley.
More and more children are jumping over the low walls built by old people with tables and chairs in this way. Their killing methods are even more brutal than these old people. Soon, the old people guarding here are frightened. Dare to risk their lives, they turned around and ran away.
Gan Ning held his sword and looked around through the bloody water. Now dozens of people were guarding him. He walked leisurely among the dead corpses, with an imposing manner like a general who broke out from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. Wang Yue, on the other hand, He followed Gan Ning closely. Although he was old and frail, he still killed many old soldiers with his skilled swordsmanship. This made Gan Ning secretly frightened and couldn't help but doubt what his opponent started to say. It is said that it is difficult to defeat the soldiers in the battle formation.
At this time, a messenger with nimble legs and familiarity with the road conditions came from the shortcut. He said that the most important north gate had been taken, and Sun Zhao's camp was in the north of the city. When they discovered something strange in the city and wanted to enter the city, , it would take more time to take a detour into the city. After Wang Yue heard this, he knew that this time was enough to capture all the city gates, so he said to Gan Ning: "There should be no resistance in front, we might as well withdraw our troops while we wait." Gather together and make noise to move forward."
Gan Ning looked surprised and said: "Why, the house is in danger, shouldn't we march quickly now?"
Wang Yue suddenly looked at Gan Ning with a strange look, and said coldly: "Don't worry, Sun Zhao can't escape. If those celebrities are really determined to die heroically and refuse to be attached to the traitors, the court will not treat them badly." them."
Gan Ning immediately felt something strange. In the current situation, if he didn't know that they had already started a counterattack, there might be some people who would take advantage of the situation and risk their lives to submit to Liu Mao's force. But even so, as long as they obey the court afterwards, there would be no problem. It is a vain attempt to compromise. In order to stabilize the newly attached state, the imperial court may not liquidate them...
Thinking of this, he suddenly froze. Even though the light rain could not bring any chill to this strong and powerful man, he still inevitably shuddered. At present, the city gates everywhere were blocked, and Sun Zhao and others are already the turtle in the urn, but if it continues at this time, there is no guarantee that Sun Zhao will not jump over the wall in a hurry, and those powerful and famous people in the Prefectural Mufu will also...
"Do you know where I just came from?" Wang Yue did not look at him, but said to himself: "I just came from the north on horseback. According to the latest battle situation, the commander of the White Water Army, Yang Huai, has led
Guan surrendered, and Duke Pei's army is now rushing towards Jiameng and Jiange. Do you think Sun Zhao, Zhang Lu, and Zhao Wei still have a chance? The army has passed by, and even if Yizhou is in chaos, it will not be able to get anywhere.
What we have to do is to return a clean Yizhou to the imperial court."
Gan Ning swallowed. If what Wang Yue said was true, he could not refuse at this time. He could only act according to his words. On the way to gather his followers and go to the Prefecture Mufu, he suddenly remembered the first time he met him.
When it came to Pei Jun, although Pei Jun was very scheming, he was still young and his nature was not so cruel. Moreover, his mission was to reduce the resistance of the imperial court to conquer Shu and allow the Yizhou regime to be handed over smoothly and safely. Like Wang Yue
The sudden plan was not in Pei Jun's interests.
If Wang Yue did not do this temporarily, but had a plan, then there might be someone else behind Wang Yue.
And who is this person? As Gan Ning thought, he began to worry that he might be dragged into a situation involving interests by Wang Yue.
In the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, two brothers, Wu Ban and Wu Yi, were stabbed and captured one after another. Several tough old men tied them to pillars, while Lai Min was held captive and pinned down in front of Liu Yanling.
.
The panic in the mourning hall was quickly stopped. Liu Hao paced slowly. The stormy scene all over the city, as well as the faint shouts of murder coming from the floating rain curtain, gave him a poetic pleasure.
.I remember that in order to enter Shu, he and his father Liu Yan even lost their shoes on the slippery mountain road. The father and son came to Yizhou barefoot. On such a rainy day, Liu Yan was also unable to kill him.
Don't dare to despise the authority of the state pastor.
At that time, my father was standing under the rainy verandah. He must have had the same feeling as him, right?
After Sun Zhao's old soldiers and Qing Qiang wiped out the powerful tribes who followed Lai Min and resisted in the city, Liu Mao could repeat Liu Yan's path and secure his position by stepping on the corpses of these people.
He was thinking contentedly, when suddenly there was a person in the crowd who looked miserable. He could no longer hold on to such a depressing and tense atmosphere. He squeezed out of the crowd, fell to the ground with a bang, and buried his head deeply.
After he went down, he begged in a pitiful voice: "I would like to make you the lord of Yizhou! Yizhou is in chaos, and only capable people can't do it. You are both a talented man and the son of Liu Gong. Only you can stabilize it."
This state. Please take care of the people of Yizhou and never refuse!"
Liu Mao was stunned, and suddenly felt happy. He turned his eyes and saw that the man was Que Yi, the son of the former governor of Yizhou, Que Jian. This man had also come forward to fight against Yizhou when Liu Yan was seriously ill.
Later, he alerted Liu Yan and asked Meng Guang to step in and stabilize the situation. Now Chu Yi knows that his hope is slim. Instead of holding on to unrealistic fantasies, it is better to hug Liu Hao's thigh tightly. Maybe he can still do it in the future.
Survive.
"Okay, okay." Liu Hao knew in his heart that it was Sun Zhao who secretly stirred up Qu Yi's ambition. Otherwise, Liu Yan would not have worried about whether his son could successfully succeed to the throne in the future and released Liu Hao from the house in advance.
. He knew that Queyi was a mediocre and hopeless person, so he didn't take him seriously. Now he just jumped out to speak for him, which was exactly what he wanted: "If it is for the sake of Yizhou's livelihood, I will do my best!"
Queyi's face lit up, and then, under his leadership, several weak scholars quickly stood up and expressed their support for Liu Hao to succeed Yizhou Mu. Liu Hao also changed his smile and talked nicely with others. When others saw this, they were also a little eager to give it a try.
Du Qiong snorted coldly with a livid face, and turned his back to express his refusal to cooperate. Meng Guang sighed heavily. After all, Liu Hao was also his student. The student became like this, and he did this. The teacher also felt that his face was shameless. Gao Yu, who looked like an old Confucian scholar, was watching all this with a calm expression, and would look at Lai Min on the ground from time to time.
Lai Min was pinned down on the cold floor. Seeing this, he spat fiercely and said, "Shameless guy! The imperial court is going south soon. I want to see how many days you can be happy!"
The faces of Que Yi and others suddenly stiffened, and the atmosphere became subtle again. Liu Hao saw that some celebrities from high-ranking families still did not express their opinions, and he believed in his heart that this was the influence of Lai Min's daily collusion.
He drew his sword and walked closer to Lai Min. Firstly, to boost the confidence of these people, and secondly, to make Lai Min and others give up completely. He said loudly: "Stop your delusions here, Hanzhong The prefect Zhang Lu has now waved his army at the sword pavilion, and Duke Zhao of Jiangzhou has also responded. Zhang Lu said that the imperial court was short of food and grass, and the Qiang people in Wudu were revolting and blocking the food road. The imperial court would retreat within a few days. You are still dead. Have a heart!"
Just as he was saying this, he was about to kill Lai Min first as a warning to others. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door to the confinement was suddenly knocked open, and a crisp sound of bells was heard coming from the rain.
