Sun Ce pulled the man in front of him back, but he was still a step too late, and the man's head was blown open by the mace hammer.
Hua Cun frowned slightly, looked at Sun Ce, and shouted: "Boy, have we met before somewhere?"
Without waiting for Sun Ce's response, Hua Cun lowered his head and looked at the giant anchor-shaped weapon in Sun Ce's hand, and couldn't help but frown.
Sun Ce looked at the man who was so dead that he couldn't help but put the body down.
"I am Jiangdong Sun Ce."
Hua Cun seemed to have remembered something, and just then a long spear was swung at him. Hua Cun raised his eyebrows and slapped it away with a hammer.
"I remember that boy who was defeated by Lu Fengxian in the ring."
Sun Ce frowned.
Hua Cong casually slapped a man to death and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to turn to Yuan Shu, but that's good. Come on, let's have some fun."
Sun Ce looked at Hua Cun warily. Because he was wearing a mask, he didn't know who the person behind the mask was.
But after hearing Hua Cun talk about the arena, he must be a member of the Longshan Army.
Looking at Hua Kun's purple and gold mace, he immediately confirmed his identity, cupped his fists and said: "General Hua, why bother killing them all? They are no longer able to resist, you can definitely persuade them to surrender."
Hua Cun looked around, and sure enough, there were not many of the original five hundred elites left.
Hua Cun laughed, raised the purple and gold mace, and pointed towards the city gate.
"Why do I want to persuade you to surrender? It is clearly written in the war book that either the city gates will be opened or a fight will be fought to the end. Yuan Shu doesn't feel sorry for the lives of his men, but you feel sorry for him?"
"I don't dare, it's just..."
"Okay, it's useless to talk anymore, just say whether to fight or not."
Hua Ji was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so he took off his mask and said in a deep voice: "For the sake of the weapons in your hands, I will give you a chance to survive. As long as you survive thirty moves under my hands, I can save your life.
"
Sun Ce frowned and couldn't help but tighten the giant anchor in his hand.
At this moment, Xu Huang, who was not far away, suddenly shouted: "Listen to the people on the city tower. If you open the city gate now, you can spare their lives."
Hua Cun and Sun Ce looked toward the city gate tower at the same time.
Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Liu Yu, Wang Yun and others, as well as those from aristocratic families who were watching the excitement, all looked pale and lost the confidence and stability they had at the beginning.
Hearing Xu Huang's voice, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei and others stopped their offensive, waiting for Yuan Shu and others' response.
Of the original five hundred elites, only thirty or forty people were dead at this time. There was no point in continuing the fight, because this was simply a one-sided massacre.
Liu Yu looked at Yuan Shu in shock, and said anxiously: "Open the city gate on the highway. There is no point in defending. We cannot resist such a strong army."
Han Fu also shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that the Wei clan would be so powerful. We are all too blind and arrogant. When I think of there being 10,000 such elite soldiers watching Mang Mountain, I, I feel breathless.
Come."
Yuan Shu's face turned green and white. When he heard the two people's voices, his eyes closed unconsciously, and a feeling of despair arose in his heart, covering his whole body in an instant.
Behind the three people, Wang Yun no longer knew what to say.
He gave a wry smile and looked at his son and tribesmen behind him. He knew very well that as soon as the city gate opened, the only thing that would greet them all would be death.
From the current situation, it seems that even if the city gates are not opened, it is only a matter of time before the Wei family takes Luoyang.
Defend the city?
meaningless.
That would only increase casualties. As long as Yuan Shu and the others were not stupid, they would immediately open the city gate and choose to surrender to the Wei family. They might get some benefits. At least they could save their lives and leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood.
But the Wang family couldn't do it. The reason why the Wei family went south was because of him.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Yuan Shu nodded feebly, "Let's open the city gate. I just hope that the Wei family can show mercy."
Liu Yu and Han Fu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They looked at Wang Yun behind them, with no hatred in their eyes, only sympathy.
You said it was not good for you to offend anyone, but you sent someone to assassinate Wei Zhongdao.
Wang Yun was already heartbroken, and he raised his hands and begged: "You three, Wang has a merciless request..."
···
Da da da!
Two hours later.
Wei Cheng sat on the carriage, flanked by seven war gods on both sides, and Shi Shiran entered Luoyang City.
There are strong military guards on both sides of the road. On the left are 5,000 Longshan troops, on the right are 5,000 Hupo troops, and behind them are 10,000 City Guards.
From the Valley Gate in the north of the city to the Xuanwu Gate of the Royal Palace, every fifty meters the carriage traveled, all the soldiers would shout loudly: "Mighty!"
The people in the city did not dare to take a step closer to the streets. They could only hide in alleys and homes and watch from a distance. The uniform pace of the three armies was like drums beating in everyone's heart, which was disturbing.
In the tile urns that store water in the small courtyard in the city, the water waves ripple back and forth rhythmically, and the sound of footsteps actually causes a resonance effect.
Outside the Xuanwu Gate, Wang Yun and his tribe had been kneeling on the ground waiting for a long time.
As the carriage approached, Wang Yun slowly raised his head and looked at the former young man.
Wang Yun's first wife, Wang Wei, who was born in the Wei family of Hedong, looked at Wei Cheng in the carriage with a sad expression.
"Uncle, we meet again."
Wei Cheng didn't get out of the car, and he didn't even open the door curtain.
Wang Yun trembled, smiled lonely, and said: "Wei Shijun has been exalted. Mr. Wang is not worthy of your title."
Wang Wei quickly begged for mercy: "Cheng'er, aunt, please let Gaier and Chang'er go. They are both innocent brothers and sisters."
Wang Gai, who was kneeling behind his father, raised his head, pulled a girl next to him, kowtowed to the carriage, and shouted: "Wang Gai, please show me your noble hand and leave some incense for me, the Wang family."
"Brother, wuwuwu..." The girl next to Wang Gai burst into tears and looked at the carriage in confusion.
Wei Cheng did not respond. Through the gap in the door curtain, he naturally saw the expressions of Wang Yun and others. When he saw the girl, he hesitated for a moment and finally closed his eyes, "General Xu, detain them temporarily.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xu Huang clasped his fists and waved his hand.
Wei Teng showed no expression on his face and signaled Hao Zhao to continue moving forward.
Passed Xuanwu Gate.
It's the so-called Nangong.
There is a palace here, which is the place where the emperor and officials discuss matters. In this era, there was not so much emphasis. When discussing national affairs, the emperor and officials would sit on the floor.
It's just that the emperor sat on a low stool, which was actually a bed without legs. It was engraved with various totems and auspicious clouds, which was regarded as a dragon chair.
As soon as they entered the palace, Wei Min and Wei Yan took one of Wei Cheng's hands at the same time and forcibly pulled Wei Cheng to this position to sit down.
Tian Feng, Jia Xu, and Xu Ding stood on the left, while generals such as Lu Bu, Xu Huang, and Zhang Fei stood on the right.
In the hall were Yuan Shu, Liu Yu, Han Fu, and officials from various aristocratic families, including his father-in-law Cai Yong.
Seeing Wei Cheng sitting on the dragon chair, no one showed any extreme emotions, but some people were inevitably unhappy.
After all, Wei Cheng was not of Han Dynasty blood like Liu Yu, so if this man sat on him, he would naturally not be able to convince the public.
Different from them, the expressions of Wei Min, Wei Zhuo, Xu Ding, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Hua Ju and others were much more exciting.
They have been looking forward to this day for too long!
When Wei Qing sat down, Tian Feng took a step forward, faced Yuan Shu and others, and said loudly: "My lord has given orders, everything in the city remains as usual. Except for the Wang family and others, everyone still performs their duties. First, appease the people in the city.
There must be no mistakes.”
Many officials were startled when they heard this, and then their faces became overjoyed.
Yuan Shu, Han Fu, and Liu Yu looked at each other, as if they had made a big decision, and they took a step forward at the same time.
Liu Yu held up a seal with both hands and said: "This is the jade seal passed down by my great Han Dynasty. I ask you to appoint a new king."
"New king?"
Wei Min sneered, stepped forward and said: "Liu Boyan (characterized by Liu Yu), don't think that I don't know what your plan is, and I'm not afraid to tell you that the position of the new king belongs to whoever it is. If any of you are dissatisfied,
You can stand up now."
Liu Yu's face was startled and he asked in surprise: "Don't the Wei family make King Chenliu the emperor?"
Wei Min laughed and said, "What's going on?"
"this……"
All the officials looked at each other in disbelief, and discussions broke out in the hall.
Wei Cheng frowned at the noise and looked at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu held Fang Tian's painted halberd and shouted loudly: "Quiet, anyone who makes trouble again will be killed without mercy!"
There was an old minister in the hall who seemed not to be afraid of death. He walked up to the front and yelled loudly: "My son Wei, are you still trying to usurp the throne?"
Wei Cheng frowned slightly and looked at this person.
Wei Yan, who was standing next to him, immediately introduced him: "Shisun Rui, who is worshiped as a minister, Pu She, is also a virtuous minister."
Wei Qing nodded slightly, looked at the scholar Sun Rui, and asked: "If I can lead the Han Dynasty to expand the territory and the people have enough food and clothing, then I am plotting to usurp the throne. What should you do?"
Scholar Sun Rui frowned and was stunned for a moment, then said: "But the Liu family is the orthodox member of the Han Dynasty."
Wei Cheng smiled.
"When Emperor Ling was in power, the ten ministers monopolized the power, brought chaos to the court, and made the people miserable. Where is the orthodoxy?"
"How can the descendants of the descendants, who are not born in the countryside, dismiss virtuous ministers at will at the slightest disagreement? Where is the orthodoxy?"
"When Dong Zhuo was dictating the government, killing emperors and empresses, and fornicating in the harem, what was the so-called orthodoxy you said about him?"
Wei Cheng has never been an aggressive person, but he still has to say something to some pedantic people.
If the people of the Liu family could govern the world well, Wei Cheng would not want to sit in this position. Even now, he was just pushed up by his two uncles to sit for a while. He has not yet decided whether to usurp the throne or not.
But he thinks that if he takes this position, he must be more qualified than all the people who have sat here before.
For no reason, just because I am also a Han and a descendant of the Han Dynasty. All I want in my heart is to strengthen the Han Dynasty.
Seeing that Shi Sun Rui's old face was red from holding back, Wei Wei was afraid that he would say something again that would offend Wei Cheng, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother Junrong, please be patient. It doesn't matter whether I, the Wei family, want to plot something." To usurp the throne, I only want to ask you one question, and if you can answer it, we will leave immediately."
Sun Rui, a scholar, knew Wei Zhuo. After all, the Wei family had many officials in the court before, but they offended He Jin, so Wei Zhuo and others were deposed.
"You ask."
Wei Yao bowed his hands in front of him and asked with a smile: "In the past, Emperor Yao was in the Zen position of Yu and Shun, and Shun also ordered Yu. The destiny of heaven is not constant, but it can only be virtuous. How can we explain it?"
Shi Sunrui's expression changed greatly. Wei Zhuo's question directly denied Liu's orthodoxy, saying that the world must be filled with virtuous people.
Wei Yan added: "The people have been tired of chaos for a long time. Brother Junrong has been an official in the court for twenty years. Can't you see that your so-called orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty has faded away?"
Scholar Sun Rui frowned. He didn't know how to answer. Wei Zhao was asking him to choose between the common people of the world and the Liu family.
As a wise minister, his loyalty should not be to the emperor, but to the people of this world.
If he chooses the Liu family, then he is not a wise minister.
If he chooses the people, wouldn’t his just-mentioned remarks be ridiculous?
Seeing that it was almost done, Wei Zhu stepped forward and helped Sun Rui up, and said harmoniously: "Although you have lived in Luodu for a long time, you should have heard a lot about the current situation in Hedong. You can think about it, if this Han Dynasty in the world is like Hedong It would be great to be rich."
Everyone looked at each other, and some officials who often paid attention to Hedong County lowered their heads in thought.
Even Sun Rui, a scholar, looked constipated. He had suggested more than once that Sinong follow Hedong County’s example and develop a farming contract system.
In fact, in his heart, he also recognized the rise of the Wei family.
It's just that for a while, he found it difficult to accept Wei Cheng's taking the throne.
"Okay, that's all. You should think carefully when you go back. If you want to stay, your positions will remain unchanged and you will be more likely to be reused. Of course, you can also choose to leave. I hereby promise that I will never I’m not going to embarrass you in the slightest.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! All the officials looked at each other, some sighed, some closed their eyes and thought deeply, and some were still filled with indignation.
Not long after, Wei Cheng and his party were the only ones left in the hall.
Oh, Cai Yong also stayed. After all, he was half of the Wei family, and he was Wei Cheng's father-in-law.
Wei Min placed the imperial seal in front of Wei Cheng.
"Hahaha, Cheng'er, this seat is quite comfortable, isn't it?"
Wei Cheng leaned back angrily, raised his head and said, "Second uncle, you are really good. On the way, I felt that you and fifth uncle were hiding something from me. This is the relationship."
At that time, Wei Cheng heard what the two of them said about the palace, and thought they wanted to experience what it was like to live in the palace. Unexpectedly, they turned the idea on her.
Wei Min smiled, with a proud look on his face, as long as Wei Qing was willing to sit in this position, nothing else mattered.
Cai Yong was a little excited, after all, the person sitting in this seat was his son-in-law.
"Cheng'er, what are you going to do with Yuan Jiujiu and others next?"
Wei Cheng stood up and saluted Cai Yong, shook his head and said: "The three of them still have some backbone, but not much. If they are more honest, I have a good job here that can make them easier."
"oh?"
After hearing this, everyone looked at Wei Cheng, curious about what he meant by a good thing.
Wei Qing did not give in and said with a smile: "There is a Japanese country in the northeast of Youzhou. Yuan Shu's navy is quite strong. I plan to let him and Liu Yu go to defeat the Japanese country. There is a silver mountain there, so it cannot be cheap.
Devil."
By the way, Youzhou during the Eastern Han Dynasty included today's Korean Peninsula. If you are interested, you can find out how vast the territory of the Han Dynasty was.
