"Ha ha......"
"Zhang Wei, this idiot, is extremely ignorant. Before, I was worried about how to lure him out of the city. Unexpectedly, a loser like him would come out to die on his own."
"Zhang Lu is asking for death by letting such a loser lead the army."
"Hanzhong must be destroyed!"
As soon as Di Qing took care of Yang Ang and the others, he received a detailed report claiming that Zhang Wei had led his army to rob the camp.
After that, without any hesitation, he ambush ten thousand archers in the forest in front of their camp, waiting for the enemy to invade.
He did not expect that this march into Hanzhong would be so smooth. During the day, he found that Zhang Wei had deployed Yangping Pass like a copper wall. He was also worried about a good strategy to defeat the enemy.
Unexpectedly, there would be such an amazing harvest at night.
He was extremely ecstatic.
At this time, I couldn't help but think of an old saying: One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted.
He also became more and more in awe of marching and fighting.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, soldiers are also deadly weapons.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Sharp arrows shot through the air, and the fifty thousand troops Zhang Wei brought were now in a mess, like headless flies scurrying around. With no one to direct them, they became living targets. People slaughter.
"It's all over."
"Hanzhong is dead."
After being defeated like a mountain, Zhang Wei, facing the current situation, also understood that the situation was over and everything was hopeless.
He discovered Qin Yang, the instigator.
After that, he kicked Qin Yang to the ground.
The knife in his hand pierced the opponent's chest.
"Qin, Qin Yang, it's all because of you, you bastard. It's all because of you who deceived me about killing thieves and seducing me into going out of the city to kill the enemy. That's why our army fell into the trap. I, I'll kill you."
He wished he could tear Qin Yang into pieces.
"General, general, I, I don't understand why Yuan Kejun ambushed here?"
"General Yang Ang and the others clearly succeeded in robbing the camp and setting fire to their supplies. Why...there was still an ambush? Could they have predicted the outcome?"
Qin Yang was also very depressed.
After that, he tilted his head and died.
"Bastard, I'll chop you to death."
Zhang Wei stabbed Qin Yang more than a dozen times with his knife before venting his anger.
Then, he finally wised up for once.
"No, I can't die here...Yes, I can't just sit back and die, I want to break out. As long as I can return to Yangping Pass, I can still make a comeback."
"Yangping Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but with ten thousand people, it can defend against Yuan Ke's army."
He lifted the knife in his hand steadily.
"Xu Changzhi, your troops will cut off the rear. Ma Yiyao, your troops will cover our general's breakout. We will fight back to Yangping Pass."
Afterwards, he sent a message to the armies.
"promise!"
Xu Changzhi took the order.
Although he hated that because of Zhang Wei's recklessness, they fell into an enemy ambush and suffered numerous casualties, he also understood that at this time, they could not act on their own initiative and only a few could survive.
"Brothers, after all, they are dead. Kill them for me. Kill one and you will be enough. Kill two and you will make a profit."
Xu Changzhi stood up and grabbed a war horse. Faced with life and death, he chose to take the initiative.
After that, many Zhang Lujun who were in panic seemed to have a backbone and fought back before death.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Yiyao immediately gathered his troops.
Today, he still has more than 4,000 people on hand.
Under the cover of Xu Changzhi, Ma Yiyao finally covered Zhang Wei to fight his way out of the siege and came to Yangpingguan.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
When Zhang Wei and Ma Yiyao led their men back to Yangping Pass in embarrassment, they were shocked to find that the city wall of Yangping Pass was now replaced with Yuan Kejun's "Ke Zi Flag", which made Zhang Wei dumbfounded again.
My heart said, how is it possible?
who is it?
"Zhang Wei, you guys are late."
"Yang Ping Pass belongs to us."
A general stood on the city wall and shouted loudly to Zhang Wei outside the city.
This person is Helian Ba.
"You, you..."
Zhang Wei was so angry that he coughed up blood.
People also fell from their horses to the ground.
"General, will..."
Seeing this, Ma Yiyao got off his horse and went to check Zhang Wei's injury. At this moment, thousands of soldiers and horses were killed on both sides, but they were the elite infantry of the Longxiang Battalion.
"kill!"
Another unilateral killing.
The battle lasted for several hours, and it was only at dawn that the battle between the two sides ended.
The 50,000 Zhang Lu army was nearly wiped out. Zhang Wei was so angry that he died in a heart attack. Ma Yiyao was killed by the rebels, and Xu Changzhi was killed by random arrows while charging.
"Enter the customs!"
Yangping Pass has changed hands.
.......
Shiyuan County Government!
Yuan Ke led his army to settle in, and 30,000 soldiers and horses took over the military and political affairs of the city.
As soon as he entered the city, Yuan Ke sent people to issue a notice to calm the people, announcing to the people in the city that this campaign was based on the emperor's edict to kill the rebel Zhang Lu. At the same time, he announced Zhang Lu's crime and ordered Qiu not to commit any crime.
Anyone who robs people of their property will be killed.
Anyone who insults women will be killed.
Anyone who oppresses the people will be killed.
...
Because of his military orders, the battle did not affect the people of Shiyuan County. Even the soldiers guarding the city lost more than 300 people, and the rest were surrendered.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
A captain trotted in quickly.
"Report!"
"My lord, the county government's treasury has been sealed."
"The arsenal in the city has also been sealed."
"The two granaries in Shixian County have also been sealed."
"All the detailed figures have been registered."
The captain reported the truth truthfully.
After that, he handed the booklet to Yuan Ke.
Yuan Ke opened the book. Not to mention, although Shiyuan County is small, there is a lot of money and wealth in this place.
It can also be seen from this that the magistrate of Shiyuan County is a capable person.
“Where is the magistrate of Ishihara County now?”
he asks.
"Returning to the Lord, when we first entered the city, General Jing took everyone into prison."
This captain is Cao Xiong, the leader of the fifth banner of Menghu Camp.
"Let's go and follow this commander to meet the county magistrate."
Yuan Ke said.
"yes!"
Afterwards, they came to the prison.
As soon as he entered the prison, the prison was full of officials from Shiyuan County. He had just entered, and these people were still wearing official robes.
"My lord, this person is the magistrate of Shiyuan County, Xu Shimin."
Cao Xiong took Yuan Ke outside a cell and immediately introduced the people in the cell to Yuan Ke.
"Xu Shimin?"
"People of the world, people of the world, help the world and bring peace to the people!"
"Good name!"
Yuan Ke commented.
Afterwards, he had chairs brought in. He wanted to have a good chat with this Xu Shimin.
It should also be regarded as a test of the other party's talents.
Judging from the statistics just collected, Shiyuan County's various wealth and income are all top-notch, especially its grain and grass storage is extremely rich, which can feed at least 200,000 people for two years.
With such political achievements, it can be seen that this county magistrate is extremely capable.
He should make great use of such talents in internal affairs.
"Let me introduce myself first, I am..."
Cao Xiong personally moved the chair. He couldn't pass this opportunity to show courtesy to others.
As soon as Yuan Ke opened his mouth, Xu Shimin spoke.
"I know you. Aren't you Yuan Ke, the traitor who stole the country? You violated our Hanzhong and killed our sergeants. All the common people and officials in Hanzhong want to kill you and then hurry up."
"Really? It turns out that I am already so famous."
"It's just that I am quite confused, and I would like you to answer my questions."
"In the Han Dynasty, the royal family is in decline and the princes are fighting for hegemony. There is no one else but Zhang Lu. He killed Su Gu and stood on his own. This brought disaster to Hanzhong. Why do you still work for him?"
"Is it possible that you think Zhang Lu is a hero?"
"I, Yuan Ke, am not talented. I raised a righteous army and killed the national traitor Dong Zhuo. I wanted to calm the world, end this troubled world, and let the people have a peaceful life. Am I now a traitor?"
Yuan Ke's words were like a sharp sword, hitting Xu Shimin's weak spot.
"You, you...this is sophistry, absurdity, and perverse reasoning."
"I won't argue with you."
