Chapter 547 The Destruction of the Yuan Family in Runan
In the current situation, Shi Huan and Zhang He, who rushed into Yuan's mansion, both wanted to capture Yuan Shu and make the greatest contribution, so neither of them would let the other go, and whoever stood in the way would die.
Occasionally, one or two Yuan clan members who were still alive came out with swords in hand and tried to resist, but they were stabbed one by one by two people, letting them know what the end would be like if they faced off against professional generals.
One Yuan clan member was strangled to death by Shi Huan, and another Yuan clan member died after Zhang He broke his neck. The two of them continued to move forward with red eyes, like gods of murder.
The results are self-evident.
The damned ones were all dead. In the last courtyard, more than 300 surviving men, women, and children of the Yuan clan huddled inside. The Han army, led by Shi Huan and Zhang He, surrounded them tightly and charged into the courtyard.
.
The last guards were killed, and now these more than 300 noble Yuan clan members had no power to restrain the chickens, they were just lambs waiting to be killed.
As the current head of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu took the lead and ran into the courtyard, and is now hiding at the back.
They looked at Zhang He and Shi Huan, who were covered in blood, with great panic. Their eyes showed a strong look of fear. They all huddled together, fearfully waiting for their fate to come.
A few days ago, or even yesterday, they didn't think their ending would be like this.
But the fickleness of fate far exceeded their imagination.
Shi Huan and Zhang He looked at each other and smiled.
"We are all newcomers and we all need credit. In this way, we will divide this group of people 50-50, with each person taking half, but Yuan Shu will belong to me."
Shi Huan looked at Zhang He and said with a smile: "And I was the first to rush into the Yuan family's mansion just now, and I was the main attacker. Yuan Shu belongs to me, do you have any objection?"
"Of course I have an opinion."
Zhang He said with a smile: "Nothing on the battlefield is absolute. You said that if you rush in first, he will be yours. I don't agree. If you can capture Yuan Shu, then of course Yuan Shu will be yours. I will not take it from you."
Steal Yuan Shu, but if I catch you, you won’t be able to get it, that’s what I mean, what do you think?”
Shi Huan said "Hey".
"Zhang Junyi, you are a bit too unreasonable, aren't you?"
"Joke, who are you trying to reason with on the battlefield?"
Zhang He said with a smile: "This is what we talk about on the battlefield."
He raised the bloody knife in his hand and wiped the blood on his face, looking horrifying.
"Okay, this is what you said."
Shi Huan raised a knife in his hand and sneered: "These people all have military merits and cannot be killed, so we can only show the truth to the two of us! Who wins and who gets Yuan Shu? What do you think?"
Is that okay?”
"Okay! It just so happens that I've always wanted to try your martial arts skills!"
Zhang He showed an excited smile: "We are all newcomers. If we want to be promoted to a high position, we must rely on our ability! People without ability cannot be promoted to a high position!"
The two of them looked excited, and under the watch of a group of people, they were ready to fight with their knives.
"I remember that there is an article in military law that comrades are not allowed to raise swords at each other. Special wooden knives must be used in daily sparring to prevent comrades from hurting each other."
Liu Bei's voice came from behind the two of them: "And now, you are holding swords at each other, are you going to hurt each other?"
As soon as this voice sounded, Shi Huan and Zhang He felt their whole bodies tremble, and their fighting spirit instantly turned into cholesterol and disappeared.
"Junhou! No! We don't have it!"
"Yes, Junhou, we didn't! We were just talking!"
The two people's bodies were tense and straight, looking forward, not daring to look at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei walked up to the two of them.
"If I hadn't arrived in time, you wouldn't have just talked about it, your military exploits would have become negative teaching material in military regulations!"
Shi Huan and Zhang He both lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"Colleagues in the military are all comrades-in-arms. Small disputes are unavoidable, and major differences are not allowed. We cannot use weapons against each other to damage the feelings of comrades-in-arms. If there is damage, who would dare to betray each other on the battlefield?"
Liu Bei glared at the two of them and said angrily: "Military regulations are strict and do not tolerate personal relationships. When you two go back, write a confession of more than a thousand words and submit it to the Military Law Office. Reflect on your mistakes and then each receive ten military sticks.
Deduction of one month’s military pay, long memory!”
"only……"
"only……"
Shi Huan and Zhang He were as dejected as cocks that had lost a fight and said nothing.
After settling the internal affairs, Liu Bei walked past the two of them and walked up to a group of Yuan clan members, looking at their frightened eyes.
Where is Yuan Shu?
Hiding inside?
"Yuan Gongli, come out. Hiding behind a group of old, weak, women and children is not what a seven-foot-tall man should do. I already look down on you, don't make me look down on you even more."
"Liu!"
Yuan Shu blushed, pushed away the Yuan clan members who were blocking him, rushed to the front, and pointed a knife at Liu Bei.
Shi Huan and Zhang He immediately stood in front of Liu Bei and pointed their swords at Yuan Shu. The surrounding soldiers also gathered around, each raising their swords and the crossbowmen raised their crossbows and pointed them at Yuan Shu.
As long as Liu Bei gives an order, Yuan Jiujiu can immediately turn into a round hedgehog.
A strong murderous aura rushed towards his face. Yuan Shu could not stand firm and was so frightened that he took a few steps back. The expression on his face was not as ferocious as it was at the beginning.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, was as calm as ever.
"That's right. You dare to stand up. It's a bit brave."
"Liu, if you destroy my family business and kill my family, I will never let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei showed a cheerful smile.
"I thought you would thank me. I helped you kill Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji, and you became the head of the Yuan family. Shouldn't you thank me?"
Yuan Shu was stunned.
The more than 300 Yuan clan members were also stunned and looked at Yuan Shu in surprise.
"What did you help me kill? Tell me clearly! When did I become an accomplice with you?!"
Yuan Shu reacted and was horrified: "Don't talk nonsense! It's ruining my reputation! How could I conspire with a despicable person like you?!"
"You still want me to ruin your reputation?"
Liu Bei rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "I didn't conspire with you, but I know that you have always thought about it. Yuan Wei is dead, Yuan Ji is dead, aren't you the only one left? You are the second son.
, the successor is naturally you, there is nothing to hide.
Although I still beat you to this position in the end, leading the Yuan family during this period is not what you have always wanted to do. Before you die, I made you feel the honor of the head of the Yuan family. You shouldn't thank me.
?”
"I……"
Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment.
He admitted that for a moment, he felt that what Liu Bei said actually made sense, because inheriting the Yuan family business had always been his dream, and he had indeed realized this dream, although the process and results were not very good.
But soon, he reacted.
"You are a thief, you are messing with my will! The fourth and third generation of the Yuan family are what they are today because of you! I wish I could eat your flesh, drink your blood, and sleep on your skin!"
"If you didn't call Bingzhou soldiers to Luoyang, and you didn't have the ambition to fight for the throne, how could you have ended up today?"
Liu Bei sneered and said: "It was never me that brought you to ruin, but your own greed and stupidity. Yuan Gongdao, you won't understand this in this life, so try to understand it in the next life."
As he spoke, Liu Bei suddenly moved.
He moved his steps and rushed forward very quickly. As Yuan Shu stared at him dumbfounded, he punched him in the face. Yuan Shu fell to the ground, his head was buzzing, and his mouth and nose were bleeding.
"Everyone, wait, take them all!"
Liu Bei ordered sternly.
After a short period of astonishment, the subordinates quickly reacted and stepped forward to capture all the more than 300 men, women, and children of the Yuan family.
The whole process was filled with loud cries, but no one from the Yuan family dared to stand up and resist Liu Bei again. They were all arrested and tied up obediently. Everything about the Yuan family was ended by Liu Bei on this day.
The foundation of the Yuan family was thus destroyed by Liu Bei.
On September 28, the sixth year of Zhongping, the rebellion started by Yuan Shu came to an end, but Liu Bei did not stop his actions.
After wiping out Yuan's resistance forces, Liu Bei ordered a search across Runan County for Yuan's disciples, the family of old officials, and the families who helped Yuan when they controlled Runan. Once discovered, they would all be captured and killed.
, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.
Anyone who cooperates with the Yuan family, no matter what the reason, is a rebel and rebellious, and they will all be killed!
Runan County is the deep-rooted home base of the Yuan family. Without purging the scholars and powerful family forces here, all hidden dangers cannot be solved.
When Cao Cao captured Runan County, it was also because Runan County belonged to the Yuan family's home base and had many disciples and former officials, so all the counties rebelled against the city. Finally, Cao Cao sent Man Chong as the prefect and used severe punishments to carry out a purge and solved the problem.
Rebellion in Runan County.
Therefore, Liu Bei did not have any tolerance for the scholars and powerful families in Runan County. As long as they had connections, he would take advantage of the situation and kill them, which was justifiable.
On September 29, Yang Xu led the Nanyang County troops to Pingyu County, where he was received by Liu Bei and presented his trophies and records of meritorious service to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei thanked Yang Xu for leading the troops to cooperate with the court's actions and praised him. Yang Xu was very happy, made a humble statement, and asked Liu Bei how Cai Yong was doing.
After Yangxu arrived, seven people including Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu County, Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang County, and their teams also arrived one after another. Liu Bei held a banquet in Pingyu County.
He took out the confiscated property of Yuan's family, disciples, and old officials' families, and rewarded the soldiers and generals of the eight counties. He gave them enough five baht coins, brocade, and salt, and gave them cattle and wine.
The feast lasted for three consecutive days, and large amounts of fish and meat were served.
Then, he expressed his merits to the governors and prime ministers of the eight counties and held a private banquet to entertain them. He also sang and danced to his heart's content at the banquet. He also wrote poems himself and gave them to the prime ministers and governors of the eight counties, and had a great time with them.
.
The prime ministers and prefects of the Eight Commanderies had a deep affection for Liu Bei for this reason, and swore on the spot that as long as they were in office, they would implement the orders of the Luoyang Court - of course, as long as they conscientiously implemented the orders of the Luoyang Court, and
