Chapter 376 Revenge! The Hedong Wei family is destroyed!
Rapid expansion has the benefits of rapid expansion, but it also has shortcomings of one kind or another.
When you enjoy the advantage of increasing the number of troops, you must bear the problems of insufficient training due to the addition of new soldiers. This is normal.
That's true at this time.
Gao Shun is confident that the soldiers from the original trapped camp can completely defend against the opponent's bow and arrow attack, because they all have corresponding point-kill training. However, if the new trapped camp soldiers rush into battle due to lack of experience in dealing with them, they will be sacrificed.
But......
Gao Shun would not ignore the recruits and let them fend for themselves just because they were inexperienced. In his eyes, these three thousand people were all his carefully selected brothers of life and death.
Therefore, even if he takes the risk of letting the opponent go, he must still find a way to protect the newly trapped soldiers. This is Gao Shun's responsibility and responsibility as the commander-in-chief.
Gao Shun looked calm and looked back at Chen Gong: "I'm really sorry. I was stupid and was deceived. I am willing to bear all the consequences on my own."
There is nothing wrong with this, but Chen Gong did not feel the slightest acknowledgment of his mistake from Gao Shun's facial expression. Instead, he felt that he had done it deliberately.
Although Chen Gong didn't quite understand Gao Shun's style, Chen Gong was touched by Gao Shun's courage to take all the blame on himself. He was a good general who loved his soldiers as much as his son.
Although death is unavoidable in war, if it is ignored, then this person will be no different from an animal. The true commander-in-chief of the three armed forces will face this point and strive to win the greatest victory with the least casualties.
Previously, the number of Gao Shun's troops had never exceeded one thousand. Once a death occurred, it would be difficult for his soldiers to be replaced in a short period of time. Therefore, he cherished every soldier extremely.
As a result, Gao Shun has always been strict with training, and based on the principle that he would rather let them get injured during training than allow them to die on the battlefield, he created his own devilish training method.
Today.
He led more than 3,000 troops, but he still maintained this habit. Even if one or two people in the team died, it would be like a piece of flesh being cut out from his heart, which was heartbreaking!
Chen Gong looked at the gray-haired Yellow Turban fleeing, and sighed with regret: "I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful general among the White-Boned Yellow Turban. Could it be this person?"
"Come here."
Chen Gong pointed to the soldiers in front and waved his hand to signal him to come forward.
"military adviser."
The soldier hurriedly came forward to salute, looking a little nervous: "I wonder why the military advisor called the villain?"
Chen Gong frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked forward, and asked tentatively: "Do you know the name of that horseman?"
The soldier sighed and hurriedly raised his hands: "Call me Xu Huang."
"Xu Huang?"
Chen Gong was sure that he had never heard of this name.
His research on Bai Bo and Yellow Turban is currently limited to Yang Feng.
But this time, Chen Gong also became interested in Xu Huang.
"That's right."
The soldier was extremely sure: "It's Xu Huang."
Chen Gong waved his hand: "Okay, I understand, you go and clean the battlefield."
The soldier stepped in and responded: "Here."
The battle at Zhiguanxing Exit ended successfully.
Right direction.
The Guan family gathered together.
Guan Ping and Guan Rui knelt on the ground, stretched out their hands to touch Guan Chen, who had been trampled on long ago, until he merged with the mud, and his flesh and blood molded into a lake. His heart was like a knife, and tears were streaming down his face.
If Guan Chen hadn't risked his life and committed suicide to open a hole, more people in the Guan family would have died, and even if more people died, they might not be able to break through the defense of the Wei family.
It was he who saved the whole clan!
It was he who determined this victory!
Guan Ping and others lived up to their high expectations and successfully allowed the Wei family to be buried with Guan Chen.
At this moment, Guan Yu inquired all the way, galloped over on horseback, and hurriedly rushed to the front: "Sixth brother! Sixth brother!"
Guan Ping heard his father's almost exhausted call, stood up and looked back: "Father, Uncle Six is here."
Guan Yu dismounted and squeezed in from the crowd: "Sixth Brother—!"
I remember that when he left Hedong, his sixth brother was only thirteen years old. They had a very good relationship and often practiced martial arts together. But I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for more than ten years, when they met again, they would be in such a state.
"Father!"
Guan Ping knelt in front of his father and said with tears in his eyes: "It was Uncle Liu who sacrificed himself to tear apart the Wei family's defense array, otherwise we would not have been able to win the battle so quickly."
"Father-!"
Guan Ping's heart was as sharp as a knife: "It was uncle Liu who saved my son!"
How could Guan Yu not know the process: "Ping'er, kowtow to your sixth uncle, and then send someone back to inform the clan leader that he is going to take your sixth uncle home and bury him alive without any mistakes."
"Father, what about you?"
Guan Ping asked hurriedly.
"revenge!"
There was a hint of anger in Guan Yu's voice.
What happened back then and how it ends now, old and new grudges, will be repaid twice as much!
"I'll accompany you."
Guan Ping stood up and made a gesture to accompany Guan Yu.
But......
Guan Yu shook his head and said softly: "You should stay with your sixth uncle. Leave the rest to your father. This can be regarded as an explanation for the whole clan."
Guan Ping already knew what happened back then, so he naturally understood his father's thoughts. He nodded affirmatively: "Okay! Ping'er is waiting for news about his father in Jie County."
"Um."
Guan Yu nodded solemnly.
Immediately.
He bowed deeply towards Guan Chen's body and said, "Sixth brother, let's avenge our old and new grudges together. Leave the rest to me. You can watch from heaven."
Without hesitation.
Guan Yu stood up and left, mounted his horse, and headed straight for Anyi.
Since he brought his son and his wife to Xinye, Nanyang, he has heard a lot about what happened back then. Although Hu did not understand the profound meaning of the Guan family, Guan Yu knew it very well.
He never blamed the old patriarch for failing to protect his wife and children, but placed all the blame on the Wei family, which had always been arrogant and unreasonable.
They are like moths, sucking the blood of the Guan family in Hedong. In the end, they will ride on the Guan family's neck, dominate and bully and trample the Guan family like cattle and horses.
In fact, it is not only the Guan family in Hedong, but also the Cheng family, the Hou family, and the Li family. As a small local wealthy family, they have no power to go against the Wei family and can only endure such bullying.
now!
Nanyang Hanting's soldiers and horses fought to the east of Hedong, and were able to break through the deadlock with the power of thunder. This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the small wealthy families in Hedong.
Although they do not have the connections like Guan Yu in Hedong, they have now been recruited by Zhang Liao and they also have the opportunity to serve Nanyang Hanting.
****
Hedong, Anyi.
Wei family old house.
Under the corridor.
Wei Wei clasped his hands behind his back and raised his eyes to look at the clouds in the sky, feeling melancholy.
The longer the battle at Zhi Guanxing dragged on, the more worrying it became. For some reason, even though he had an absolute advantage, Wei Wei was still flustered and found it difficult to calm down.
"Report—!"
At this moment, a hurried announcement sounded not far away.
Wei Wei looked around hurriedly.
But when he saw his attendants trotting over in a hurry, looking extremely flustered, he didn't even bother to salute, so he raised his hand and pointed outside, panting:
"Home...owner..."
"Big things...big things..."
"Take a breath and talk again!"
Wei Wei was so anxious that he interrupted without hesitation: "There is no rush at this moment."
The attendant took a deep breath and said, "Master, something bad has happened. The Guan family in Hedong suddenly turned against us and rushed to the rear of our Wei family. Together with the soldiers and horses coming out of Zhi Guanxing, they wiped out all the Wei family's troops."
"ah?"
Wei Wei was shocked and his eyes were as wide as bells: "The Guan family in Hedong rebelled? They...how could they..."
The attendant immediately explained: "I heard that Liu Bei had two sworn brothers. One of them was in Shaanxi County. He killed three powerful generals one after another, forcing Chang'an Hanting to send Ma Chao and Yan Xing to fight."
"The other one is Guan Yu, who was born in the Guan family in Hedong. He was the same Guan Yu who committed murder and swindled goods more than ten years ago, and was expelled from the Guan family by Guan Ling."
"His son returned to the Guan family this time not for revenge, but to unite with the Guan family and cooperate with Nanyang's troops. We were all fooled."
Boom—!
Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
Wei Wei was so stunned that he was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
He couldn't believe that the small Hedong Guan family could actually be related to Nanyang Hanting.
Guan Yu, who was forced to leave more than ten years ago, actually appeared in Hedong again in such a way.
This mother-in-law is going to die.
"Damn it!"
Wei Wei cursed secretly.
At this moment, his heart suddenly became confused and he didn't know why.
If Zhang Kan is defeated, then the Hedong Wei family will not be able to survive either: "What about the other teams? Will they win?"
The attendant shook his head: "The Baibo Yellow Turbans were defeated by the trapped camp that came out of Zhi Guanxing. The Cheng family, Li family, and Hou family in Hedong were all absorbed by Zhang Liao, and Zhang Kan's team was the first to be defeated by Guan Yu and Zhang Liao.
If Zhang Kan hadn't escaped quickly, he might have died long ago."
"Right now, we should be cleaning up the battlefield for the battle at Zhiguanxing Exit. It won't be long before Zhang Liao will send troops to sweep across Hedong and come towards us."
Now, the Wei family in Hedong has contributed all the pieces. At present, the family is basically an empty box. If it were just Zhang Liao, maybe the Wei family could still survive, but there is Guan Yu!
With old and new grudges settled together, how can the Wei family survive?
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
Wei Wei cannot have such illusions.
At that moment, he did not hesitate and gave a sonorous order: "Quick! Inform the Wei family and flee quickly without any mistakes."
The attendant was stunned for a moment: "Master, are you going to..."
Wei Wei didn't bother to explain: "I asked you to give the order, so you give the order. Distribute my clothes to the servants, let them put them on, and run away for their lives. By the way, each of them will be given a sling of money. Go quickly."
Have to admit it.
Wei Wei is not a fuel-efficient person either.
He knew very well that Guan Yu would never give up this opportunity for revenge. If he were Guan Yu, he would rush to Anyi with lightning speed and massacre all the Wei family in Hedong.
Therefore, Wei Wei must also use the fastest speed to confuse the public and take advantage of the situation to escape. As for his ancestral business, nothing is more important than his own life.
With a wave of his hand, Wei Wei dismissed his attendants and hurried to the front yard. He casually took a servant's clothes from the clothes drying rack and hurriedly put them on, not caring whether they fit or not, and walked to the back door.
When passing by the counting house, he hurriedly rushed in: "Quick, fill this up, I want to take it away."
The accountant was still wondering at first, which stupid servant dared to break into the important area of the accountant, but when he saw that it was the head of his family, he immediately got up, picked up his backpack, and put money in it:
"Master, do you need horseshoe gold? There happen to be two on the cabinet."
"Hurry up and put whatever is valuable inside."
"good!"
The accountant didn't dare to ask any more questions and just kept putting the money in.
Seeing that it was almost done, Wei Wei hurriedly grabbed the backpack from the cashier's hand, put it on his shoulder and left.
But before he left the Wei family's old house, he heard a quick call again:
"Master!"
"Master-!"
No need to ask more, it must be Guan Yu who came to kill him.
Wei Wei originally wanted to find a carriage, but in the end it was too late, so he ran to the back door with the money on his back.
After exiting the back door and heading west, as long as Guan Yu can enter the mountains and forests, even if Guan Yu has the ability to fight again, he will not be able to catch him.
"Quickly, surround the Wei family, kill Wei Wei, and reward him with a thousand gold coins!"
"Don't let anyone go. Surround them all."
"Come in and kill Wei Wei!"
"kill-!"
A strong cry of death rang out.
The Wei family was surrounded, and hundreds of soldiers rushed in and started killing.
After a long time, Guan Yu glanced at the dozens of survivors angrily: "Where is the head of the Wei family?"
A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the attendant below, and he bravely replied: "This hero, our head of the family ran away long ago. It was the letter reported by Xiao Liuzi, and we are completely victims."
"Which one is Xiao Liuzi?"
"Killed by your soldiers."
"So..."
Guan Yu's stern gaze swept over everyone: "There is no evidence to prove it, right?"
Everyone below was trembling with fear and lowered their heads: "General, everything we said is true. The head of the family really ran away."
Guan Yu waved his hand: "Here comes someone."
"General."
"Find two ordinary people and ask them to correct me."
"Here."
Not long after.
The two common people identified all the living and dead ones, and indeed there was no head of the Wei family.
Guan Yu didn't believe in evil, so he killed him as fast as he could. Could the other party still escape?
So, he changed two groups of people, but the result remained the same. There was no head of the Wei family among them.
"Damn it!"
Guan Yu cursed secretly, and then said: "Whoever among you can provide clues, I will reward you with a drop of money, and let bygones be bygones."
An attendant bravely replied: "General, you can go to the mountains to the west and take a look. If my guess is correct, the master of the house must have fled to the mountains, so that his whereabouts can be hidden."
"In the mountains?"
Guan Yu thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed possible.
Immediately, he called the soldiers and made a plan to rush straight out of the city and into the mountains.
But before he left the city, someone came out and said, "Guan Qiong, my dear, may I ask the general if he is Guan Yu?"
Guan Yu frowned: "Guan Qiong? Are you... from the Lao Wu family?"
Guan Qiong nodded quickly in excitement: "Second uncle, it's me!"
Guan Yu hurriedly dismounted: "Xiannephew, why are you here?"
"The master of the family asked me to come here to find you."
"oh?"
Guan Yu was stunned: "Clan leader? Where are the others?"
Guan Qiong said softly: "The head of the family is outside the city, and we captured the head of the Wei family."
hiss-!
Guan Yu was shocked and gasped: "What did you say? You captured the head of the Wei family?"
Guan Qiong nodded: "Well, that's right! The patriarch said that if the imperial court succeeds, the head of the Wei family will definitely go into the mountains to escape, so he sent me to guard each mountain pass."
"If the imperial court falls, the Guan family will have to take refuge in the mountains. We happened to have no time to lose. As a result, we happened to find the head of the Wei family at the mountain pass and arrested him."
"Very good!"
Guan Yu was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
He waved his hand and said loudly: "Let's go, take me to see the clan leader."
Guan Qiong leaned forward and held up her hands: "Here."
The group of people headed straight out of the city.
Not far.
Then I saw the old patriarch leading his men to escort Wei Wei back to Anyi.
Old Guan Yu looked far ahead and hurriedly approached him, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Guan Yu, the unfilial son, has met the clan leader."
Guan Ling stepped forward and helped Guan Yu up with his own hands: "Yun Chang, get up quickly. You are now a general of the imperial court. It is not good for outsiders to see you."
Guan Yu didn't care about that, and kowtowed three times to Guan Ling: "No matter when, where, or what identity Guan is, in front of you, the clan leader, Guan will always be a junior."
"Get up."
Guan Ling helped Guan Yu up with his own hands: "I have failed to take good care of Ping'er and her son these years. It is my dereliction of duty as the clan leader. I hope Yun Chang won't take care of me."
"How dare you."
Guan Yu hurriedly spoke: "It is Guan who has put the family head in a difficult situation. They don't quite understand the deep meaning of the patriarch's move, but how can they hide it from me? Guan is well aware of the patriarch's care for Guan's wife and is extremely grateful.
"
Guan Ling smiled indifferently, as if he didn't take it to heart at all: "Remember, we are a family, and we don't have to speak two different languages. It is the right thing to take care of Ping'er, mother and son."
"But......"
Guan Yu looked hard and said: "I failed to take good care of my sixth brother, he... he did it for..."
Guan Ling was startled: "Yun Chang, Chen'er, could it be..."
Guan Yu nodded heavily: "Well, in order to break through the Wei family's defense line, he forced his way into the formation and used his own body to clear a path for the army. Only then was he able to kill Wei Jian and eliminate the Wei family's tribe."
"Clan leader!"
Guan Yu handed over his hand again and said regretfully: "I failed to take good care of my sixth brother."
Guan Ling was Guan Chen's father. When he heard the news, his heart was as sharp as a knife, but he still managed to hold it back: "As expected of my son Guan Ling, Chen'er deserves to die."
"Yun Chang, this is not your fault. Chen'er voluntarily signed up to lead the team to Jiang County. In fact, he was already prepared to die. You don't have to blame yourself too much."
Turn around.
Guan Ling stared at Wei Wei who was tied up by Wu Hua Da: "I will take this thief's head to pay homage to my son's heroic spirit in heaven."
****
Nanyang, Wancheng.
Emperor's palace.
Hall of Wende.
In front of the giant sand table, Liu Bian stared at the intertwined forces above. Just a second ago, Guo Jia planted a military flag belonging to Yuan Shao in the direction of Hanoi:
"Who is the leader of the army?"
"Chun Yuqiong!"
Guo Jia bowed and cupped his hands.
"Chun Yuqiong?"
Liu Bian raised his eyes to look at Guo Jia and smiled: "Is this Chunyu Qiong who was the eighth captain of Xiyuan together with Yuan Shao?"
Guo Jia nodded affirmatively: "That's right! It's this person."
Chunyu Qiong!
The wine bag and rice bag are Chunyu Qiong?
If it were before, Liu Bian would naturally think so.
But now, after being introduced by experts from the Military Advisor Alliance, he will not underestimate anyone, but proactively asks Guo Jia for his impression of this person:
"Fengxiao, what do you think of this person?"
Guo Jia bowed his head and seemed to have expected that His Majesty the Emperor would ask such a question. He said softly: "This man is from the Chunyu family of Yingchuan. He is also proficient in the art of war and has won the trust of Yuan Shao."
"but......"
Guo Jia pinched a wisp of beard under his chin and frowned slightly as he said: "He is a bit conceited and knowledgeable, but in fact, the knowledge in his belly is nothing more than this, which is insignificant."
"Rong Chen said something inappropriate. If it weren't for family connections and the support of the Yuan family, how could Chunyu Qiong become the right captain, but ended up following Yuan Shao."
Xun Yu, who was also from Yingchuan, said next: "Yes, although the Chunyu family is not well-known in Yingchuan, it is because of the family's involvement with the Yuan family that he can become the eighth captain of Xiyuan."
"Just talking about his personal ability..."
Xun You put it more euphemistically, but still said firmly: "I think it is at a medium level at best. If it is placed in our Nanyang, it can be used as a partial general."
"Wenhe, what about you?"
Liu Bian turned his head and glanced at Jia Xu, who was hanging his head.
This guy...
Even when he comes to participate in political discussions, he always says, "If you don't take the initiative to ask, I will never take the initiative to answer." He is truly a man who has implemented Gou Tao to his bones.
At this moment, Liu Bian deliberately pointed at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu bowed his head and said: "I agree with the filial piety. Wen Ruo concluded that Chunyu Qiong has some abilities, but that's all."
"Um."
Liu Bian nodded and reminded: "This is discussing politics. Don't just bring your ears, but also your mouth. Do you understand?"
Jia Xu looked slightly embarrassed: "I will bear this in mind."
Liu Bian said softly: "Okay, I'll let you talk about recent events."
"Here."
Jia Xu stepped in and obeyed the order, but he could only bite the bullet and step forward: "At present, the situation in Hedong is almost clear. The trapped camp has joined. I believe that good news will come soon."
"but......"
"But we cannot take it lightly."
Speaking of this, Jia Xu's eyes fell on Jizhou and the boundary of Youzhou: "Although the battle between Yuan Shao and Liu Yu has not yet ended, Yuan Shao has already sent people to try to rush to Hedong from Bingzhou and Hanoi."
"But it is a pity that in the direction of Bingzhou, Daijun Wuhuan has already reached the vicinity of Yanmen Pass, and in the direction of Hanoi, the wolf cavalry, leopard cavalry and tiger cavalry are also a big problem."
"Yes!"
Jia Xu emphasized: "Yuan Shao has not been able to rush to Hedong for the time being, but according to my speculation, Liu Yu is already on his last legs. While Yuan Shao led troops to attack Liu Yu, he still instigated Gongsun Zan to attack Liu Yu."
"If Liu Yu had not been a virtuous man and had the help of the people and Wuhuan's cavalry, he would not have been able to persist until now. But in any case, Liu Yu helped us and contained most of Yuan Shao's troops."
Liu Bian was still very clear about this. He tried to ask: "Do you think Wen He might win over Liu Yu? Judging from these things, Liu Yu still has a good impression of Nanyang."
"His Majesty."
Jia Xu hurriedly bowed his head and said softly: "You can't disbelieve Liu Yu, but you can't believe him completely."
Liu Bian frowned: "Oh? What does Wen He mean?"
"Your Majesty, please do not misunderstand."
Jia Xu hurriedly explained to His Majesty the Emperor: "Liu Yu is naturally loyal to the Han Dynasty, but his eldest son Liu He is a servant in Chang'an, so he is always controlled by Chang'an."
"This is one of the reasons why he has always dared not attack Yuan Shao. Otherwise, when Yuan Shao first settled in Jizhou and forcibly made Liu Yu his enemy, Liu Yu could have defeated him."
"But..."
Jia Xu shook his head and sighed: "Every time, Liu Yu only used five points of his strength. If he could defeat, he would defeat. Otherwise, it would be a stalemate, and he would always take a defensive stance."
"That's right!"
Guo Jia on the side also followed up and said: "Liu Yu does have some abilities. Under his governance, although Youzhou is not as good as our Nanyang, the people's livelihood is stable and Hu and Han are harmonious. Therefore, the Wuhuan ministries are willing to help Liu Yu.
"
"But equally..."
Guo Jia commented unceremoniously: "Liu Yu loves his son so much that he cannot ignore it. Although your Majesty intends to win over his son who is a servant in Chang'an, if the matter is not resolved, I'm afraid Liu Yu will not be able to do it."
I dare not agree."
Liu Bian nodded slowly: "Yes, it is true."
Actually.
When the military advisor alliance formulated an escape plan, they considered going to Liu Yu's place in Youzhou.
But it was precisely because Liu Yu had a son in the hands of Dong Zhuo that the military advisor alliance gave up.
Looking at it now, the original decision of the Military Advisor Alliance was very wise.
