"Gentlemen, since the alliance, the sea has been turbulent, the atmosphere of righteousness has been high, and the righteous people in the world are all rejoicing! Now, the Dong thief has become discouraged and intends to flee westward. This is a victory for the alliance, a victory for the righteous people all over the world, and a great victory for the Han Dynasty.
The victory is the result of the joint efforts of all of you! This glorious achievement will be etched in history and will be remembered for generations to come!"
As soon as the meeting of princes opened, the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao, delivered a passionate speech, and everyone who heard it was in high spirits. At least, that was true on the surface.
After the recent events, Zhang Miao and others could not fail to hear the implication of Yuan Shao's words, which was nothing more than to weaken Wang Yu's victories and emphasize the role of the alliance.
In a sense, this is true. If the coalition forces had not attacked from all sides and dispersed the strength of the Xiliang Army, Wang Yu would not have been able to win alone. Even if Zhang Miao is more inclined to Wang Kuang, he also agrees with Yuan Shao's statement.
.
After Yuan Shao made another grand speech, he began to get down to business.
"If Dong Zhuo is simply cowardly and wants to flee, in order to save his soldiers from the suffering of fighting and the people from war disasters, we can't help but give him a chance to change his ways. However, Dong Zhuo is a stubborn thief. He didn't escape on his own, but
They are threatening to coerce the imperial court and the people to go together! They are falsely claiming to move the capital! We are deeply favored by the country, how can we let the thieves have their way and the country be destroyed?"
"cannot!"
"Ask the leader of the alliance to send troops and generals to march into Luoyang to capture and kill the national traitors!"
The reaction in the tent was very enthusiastic. Zhang Yang, Yuan Yi and others were all shouting, and the latter was even more indignant and asked to fight.
However, it cannot be said that those who responded were overacting. The words themselves were quite inciting.
Of course, the difficulty of chasing down an enemy who is running away is not the same as that of besieging an enemy who is desperately resisting. The former is about beating a drowned dog, and you can gain a good reputation regardless of whether you hit it; the latter is about beating a hungry wolf, and the wolf is not so easy to kill.
If you don't say it, you might get bitten back. It goes without saying how you choose.
"As the leader of the alliance, I ordered the entire army to attack and send troops to Luoyang! I ordered several prefects of the former army, Gongsun Sun, to leave the border within three days and advance into Luoyang to clear the way for the army. There must be no mistakes!"
"Here!"
Sure enough, it came! Zhang Miao and his brother Zhang Chao looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.
The whole army left the Pass and marched westward, fighting the Xiliang army desperately, leaving the Pass to allies with ulterior motives, so that the latter could take advantage? As long as Gongsun Zan and others were still half sane, they would not do this.
You must know that the Xiliang army has not completely lost its combat effectiveness, as evidenced by the annihilation of the mighty Sun Jian's entire army! Once the advance is unfavorable and the retreat is blocked, Gongsun Zan and others will have no choice but to die.
"In addition, there were a few scoundrels in the imperial court. When they were in the court, they did not care about helping the country. Instead, they succumbed to power and served as a cover for Dong's thieves. They actually came to the camp to persuade a certain group of people to retreat when the situation was good for the war against Dong.
!I have made up my mind. Before sending out troops, I will kill these people to sacrifice the flag to boost morale!"
"Wait a minute!"
Before Yuan Shao finished speaking, Wang Kuang hurriedly came out and dissuaded him loudly: "Alliance leader, please listen to Wang Kuang's words. The kings in the court are not colluding with Dong's thieves. They are either being persecuted or trying to keep the imperial court in peace.
We only want the people to live in peace, and we don’t want Shenjing to suffer a military disaster. Those five are all famous people in the world. If we kill them here, we may hurt the hearts of the people in the world. The leader of the alliance loves the name of talents!"
"This is a big fallacy!" Yuan Shao had heard similar advice many times in the past few days, so how could he take it to heart? He sternly retorted: "Just because you are a famous person, you must be very clear about right and wrong, good and evil.
If the scholars who set an example for the world are vague about big issues involving the state, what will the people of the world think?"
He raised his hands high above his head and said with a solemn face: "What is more important, national affairs or personal reputation and friendship? I, Yuan Shi, have sacrificed hundreds of lives for the country and the people, how can I do it again?"
Do you care about a little reputation?"
As a concubine, Yuan Shao was able to surpass Yuan Shu as his legitimate son in terms of reputation. The most important factor was his appearance and demeanor. In this era, there was a strong trend of judging people based on their appearance. The reason why Mi Heng has always been disliked by others is that his personality was different from his.
That foul mouth is certainly an important factor, but the flaw of being ugly cannot be ignored.
Yuan Shao's eloquence was also good, and with his solemn expression, his righteous speech directly rendered Wang Kuang speechless.
Zhang Miao and others who wanted to smooth things over also backed down.
Yuan Shao had already spoken to this extent, and if he tried to persuade him again, it would be easy to turn the official matter into a personal feud. Wang Kuang had relatives here, so he had to step forward, but the others only had friendship with those few, and there was no reason to force himself to step forward.
If killing those celebrities can maintain the unity of the alliance, then the price is worth it.
The people trying to smooth things over retreated, Wang Kuang was alone and seemed to be at a loss for words, and Yuan Shao's momentum surged.
Without his signal, Zhang Yang and others had already started to add fuel to the flames.
"There is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan": destroying relatives for the sake of justice, that's what it means! In public affairs, you have been loyal to the emperor and the country all your life, and you have always moved forward unswervingly. Why do you behave like a woman when it comes to personal affairs?"
Kong Niao has a normal friendship with Yuan Shao, but he has always been happy to make sarcastic remarks. Wang Kuang gave birth to a good son, and his eyes were red with jealousy. If there was an opportunity to add insult to injury, how could he easily let it go?
?
"How about this. Gongjie is the role model for loyal ministers and righteous men in the world. How about Gongjie personally executes the execution, kills relatives with justice, and leaves a good story for the people of the world with his integrity?"
"This is a very good idea. Hu Jiyou is on an envoy this time and has brought his two sons. To kill his father for state affairs and to have his son for family reasons is the way to achieve both loyalty and righteousness."
"In the face of justice, there is no room for ambiguity and hesitation. Wang Shijun, you must think clearly!"
Yuan Shao had many party members, and with Kong Niao and others adding fuel to the flames, the momentum grew and Wang Kuang was immediately cornered.
Lao Wang Kuang was trembling all over, looking miserable, and his faith began to waver.
Whether or not to kill my brother-in-law should be a trivial matter. How could it involve the issue of loyalty?
No one mentions the hard work and struggle of his father and son, so what are those big wins? It has nothing to do with loyalty?
If this is the case, then what is the purpose of forming this alliance? What is the thing that I have always believed in?
Also, what about the friendship between myself and everyone present?
Wang Kuanglao was in tears and despaired of all thoughts, "At first, I was thinking about the friendship between you and me..."
"In the face of great justice, how can we tolerate personal friendships? Come, pull the guilty officials out of the camp and kill them all!" Yuan Shaoji said sternly, completely unmoved: "Also, the king is tired, so go and take a few people with him.
Go down and rest.”
"Here!" Yuan Shao's soldiers on both sides responded.
Great things are done!
For a time, Yuan Shao was also very satisfied. By killing Hu Muban and others, he could establish his authority and warn Wang Yu. At present, no one could compete with him, so he took the opportunity to take Wang Kuang hostage.
With these quick and slow hands, there is no need to worry about Wang Yu not obeying orders obediently. This son is brave and good at fighting, so he can be used as a pioneer. Even if he cannot defeat the Xiliang army, he can also greatly consume the strength of the Xiliang army.
When the time comes, if I take advantage of the opportunity and step in, will I still worry about whether something big will happen?
If it weren't for the wrong occasion and the city was deep enough, Yuan Shao would have almost laughed out loud with pride.
Everyone under the tent had different expressions.
Wang Kuang hugged his two nephews and cried loudly. Several soldiers gathered around him, and another group of soldiers vaguely surrounded Wang Kuang's guards.
Yu Jin tried hard to persuade Wang Kuang not to attend the meeting, but to no avail, so he simply stayed in the camp. He was not good at martial arts, so there was little point in following him. On the contrary, if he controlled the military power, he would have a chance to counterattack.
After seeing the scene just now, Hu Muban no longer resented Wang Kuang. Looking at the three people hugging each other and crying, he just shook his head and sighed.
Other princes from all walks of life either showed pity in their eyes, or turned away and couldn't bear to see him again, or sneered on their faces. There were also many people who looked blank, that is, no one planned to stand up for Wang Kuang.
If this continues, Wang Yu will take all the credit for the fight against Dong, and won't everyone's trip be in vain? Since his father and son do not know how to advance or retreat, it would be better to use Yuan Benchu's hand to dampen their spirit.
Anyway, Dong Zhuo is already preparing to escape. King Qin’s great achievements are already within reach. The main theme is to divide the victory and distribute the credit.
"Wang Shijun, please come now." The leading soldier urged Wang Kuang impatiently.
Mr. Yuan Tu had explained in advance that the leader of the Taishan soldiers was not an ordinary character, and he had to beware of long nights and many dreams.
As the saying goes, fellow envoys look down upon each other. Han Rong, the leader of the envoys, was also from Yingchuan, and his reputation was always higher than that of Kong Niao. He had long held a grudge. At this moment, seeing the embarrassed looks of the prisoners, Kong Niao also sneered.
: "Since you have become a thief, you must have the consciousness of death. Since ancient times, there is good and evil..."
He was interrupted only mid-sentence, and there was a burst of noise outside the tent.
At first, someone yelled and roared; then, there was a loud clash of weapons and screams; before the princes could shout angrily, people went outside to check, and the sound of chaotic fighting had already approached the Chinese military tent!
Just by listening to the sound, everyone could already imagine the scene outside. Someone was breaking into the camp! And the attack was extremely fierce and determined, which can be described as overwhelming.
Combined with the current situation and a little more imagination, the identity of the camp intruder is already apparent!
"Here comes..." Yuan Shao's expression suddenly changed and he stood up in shock.
"Boom!" As soon as he raised his hand, there was a loud bang from the tent door.
"Crash..." When Yuan Shao looked anxiously, he saw a soldier breaking through the tent door and rolling on the ground. The armor leaves rubbed against the ground, making a harsh noise. Obviously, he was thrown in.
.
When the human sandbags finally stopped rolling, Yuan Shao saw the other party's face clearly. When he saw it, he was also shocked and angry. This soldier who didn't know whether he was alive or dead was his personal guard commander Su You!
"Who dares..."
"Who..." Before Yuan Shao could finish his question, he was interrupted by an angry shout from outside the tent.
That voice is quite young, but no one dares to ignore the anger contained in it. It cannot be explained by the sentence "young people act recklessly"...
The anger of an ordinary man can only cause blood to splash for five steps; the anger of a tyrant cannot be eliminated without bloodshed for thousands of miles!
"Tear, tear!" One knife and one spear pierced the military tent, and he pulled it to the left and right, completely tearing the tent door apart.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Immediately, there was a rapid sound of loose strings, the sound of breaking wind rose loudly, and the powerful crossbow arrows accurately pointed at the several soldiers surrounding Wang Kuang!
"Ah!" screamed repeatedly, blood splattered!
"Who wants to imprison my father? Kill my uncle?"
There was a rumbling roar, and a heroic young man entered the tent proudly, with a majestic appearance and a look that was full of domineering.
"Wang Yu is here, whoever dares to be presumptuous may as well draw his sword and fight to determine the winner of life and death!"
