"Set off!"
Thirty thousand troops set out and marched toward Jianmen Pass in a mighty manner.
Vigorous and high-spirited...
This time, Cheng Yaojin served as the general of the former army, and Yuan Ke was in charge of the central army. Although they were now in Hanzhong County, they were still extremely careful during this march to prevent accidents.
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
In a carriage, Yuan Ke was talking to Xu Miaoyun. After his arrow injury healed, he slept with Xu Miaoyun. Now the two of them are called a man and a concubine, and they are very happy.
"Husband, come and eat a grape!"
Xu Miaoyun's jade-like hands peeled the grapes for Yuan Ke, and then fed them to Yuan Ke himself.
The two of them are so in love.
"good!"
"Miaoyun, come on, let me kiss you first."
Yuan Ke started to misbehave again.
"Husband, this is not good. If everyone sees it, it will damage your prestige."
Xu Miaoyun shook his head.
She understood what Yuan Ke was thinking, but she also knew that she was on the march and couldn't mess around.
"good!"
"My husband, I will listen to you. After the Yizhou Army is defeated, Miaoyun, you have to stay with me well, okay?"
Yuan Ke said.
"Okay, everyone listens to their husbands."
Xu Miaoyun said very shyly.
The two of them didn't mess around anymore, they just showed off their affection to each other and acted like shit.
Not long after, the army arrived in Guangyuan.
As soon as I entered Guangyuan, my butt was not yet firmly seated, but military reports rushed over.
"Report!"
"My lord, urgent military report from the front line."
"Shuai Di personally led the main force to land at Liujiawan and killed tens of thousands of enemies. Now our army has successfully surrounded Zitong."
A scout raised his hand to report.
"good!"
"good!"
"good!"
"Tell Di Qing that I am personally leading an army of 30,000 to come to our aid and let him fight."
"We must capture this old thief Zhang Ren alive."
Yuan Ke was overjoyed when he heard this.
After defeating Zhang Renjun, the next thing they have to face now is to besiege Chengdu.
"yes!"
.......
"kill!"
The next day, early in the morning, Yuan Ke personally led an army of 30,000 people across Jianmen Pass, crossed the Fulishui River, and rushed to aid Di Qing.
As soon as the 30,000-strong army arrived, there was a loud noise.
boom!
There was a loud noise and the roar of the cannon, which immediately destroyed half of the wall of Zitong City.
Afterwards, countless soldiers and horses entered the city.
A melee broke out between the two sides.
The army fought for half a day, and many people died.
Zhang Renjun was defeated.
Di Qing sent troops to personally capture Zhang Ren alive.
After that, he was taken to Yuan Ke's army.
"Zhang Ren, are you willing to surrender?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"You thief Yuan Ke, if I, Zhang Renning, refuse to surrender, please kill me."
Zhang Ren was extremely harsh.
"That's fine!"
"I will fulfill your name of loyalty."
"Give me poisonous wine!"
"Kill with poison!"
Hearing this, Yuan Ke couldn't help but say.
"yes!"
Zhang Ren, died.
"Di Qing, have you discovered Wu Yi? He is my brother-in-law and cannot be killed. Can you explain it to me?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"Your Majesty, General Wu Yi, we have found him, but he and his men are guarding the arsenal in the city. They would rather die than surrender. We cannot break the arsenal for a while."
"Do you see this?"
Di Qing asked for instructions.
"I will go and see for myself."
Yuan Ke said.
Nothing happened to Wu Yi, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain it to Wu Rui.
Before the expedition, Wu Rui personally served him and begged him for mercy, asking only to let the Wu family go and not kill her brother.
Afterwards, he took people to the arsenal.
At this time, there were three thousand troops and horses outside the arsenal, and five hundred archers could attack and kill the enemies in the arsenal at any time.
"Go and shout to me, and tell me that I want to talk to General Wu Yi."
Yuan Ke said to a captain in front of him.
"yes!"
After that, the captain came closer and looked at the other party.
"People inside, listen, my master, the current Sima Yuan Ke wants to see your General Wu Yi, please let him out quickly."
A loud shout was shouted at the enemy troops in the arsenal.
"This traitor Yuan Ke wants to see me?"
"What is he going to do?"
"Can't you trap me?"
At this time, in the arsenal, Wu Yi heard this and was also analyzing why Yuan Ke wanted to see him.
"General Wu, I don't think this humble position is necessary. We are now a trapped beast and we won't be able to hold on for long."
"There are at least three thousand soldiers and horses outside. It is impossible for us to rush out from their hands."
"Maybe Yuan Ke really wants to talk to you about something."
One of Wu Yi's subordinates said.
"Too!"
"It seems that I, the general, should go see him. It's a dead end anyway, but I want to see what the other party is going to do."
"What else can he do to me?"
Wu Yi heard this and was determined to die.
Afterwards, he had the door of the arsenal opened.
He came alone.
"Yuan Ke, what do you want to do when you see this general?"
Wu Yi asked.
"Are you Wu Yi? Wu Rui is your sister?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"This general is Wu Yi, and Wu Rui is also my sister-in-law. Yuan Ke, what do you mean by what you just said? Is it possible that what happened to your sister-in-law? I tell you, if you hurt my sister, I will kill you. .”
"I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."
"Understand?"
Wu Yi said loudly.
This girl is the one he loves most.
When Liu Yan asked Liu Mao to marry his sister, he disagreed, but Liu Yan threatened him with the lives of the Wu family, young and old, so he had no choice but to marry his sister into the Liu family.
"General Wu, you misunderstood. Wu Rui is my wife. It's too late for me to love her, so why should I hurt her?"
Yuan Ke said.
"What? You, what did you say? When did my sister become your wife? Is it possible that you took my sister away? You bastard, I'm going to kill you."
Wu Yi shouted when he heard the sound.
He was furious.
"You can't say this like that. Your sister and I are in love with each other, and we are married to each other."
"I have a letter on my body that my sister asked me to give to you."
"After you have seen it, you will understand."
Yuan Ke asked someone to hand the letter to Wu Yi.
Wu Yi opened the letter and after reading it, he roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter. Now, he began to hesitate.
My heart said, surrender or not?
In the letter, Wu Rui advised him to surrender to Yuan Ke, not for anything else but for the Wu family in Yizhou.
"Yuan Ke, if I surrender, can you really let these brothers of mine go?"
he asks.
"What I said is true. I am true to my word and will not lie to you."
Yuan Ke said.
"good!"
"I am willing to surrender!"
Wu Yi immediately announced his surrender to Yuan Ke.
"good!"
After that, the arsenal was opened, and the Yizhou army inside put down their weapons, and Yuan Ke's army took charge of their custody. However, they did not criticize him, and just concentrated their custody on him.
From then on, the city of Zitong was destroyed and all fell into the hands of Yuan Ke.
Di Qing led his army to Chengdu in two directions.
Along the way, it swept across.
Zhang Renjun lost to Yuan Kejun in Zitong.
Nowadays, all the forces in Yizhou are afraid of Yuan Ke's army like a tiger. In addition, they have no troops and horses to resist, so the counties and counties surrendered after hearing the news.
In less than three days, Luo Shixin's troops took the lead in defeating the Yizhou Army and reached the south gate of Chengdu.
Di Qing led his army to surround the remaining three gates.
For a time, Chengdu was in danger and the buildings were about to collapse.
Liu Zhang in the city was greatly frightened when he heard this.
Now, he has no troops and horses, and it is impossible to resist the invasion of Yuan Ke's army. He can only lead his civil and military officials to surrender to Yuan Ke.
At this point, Yizhou was officially declared to have fallen into Yuan Ke's hands.
Another half month later, Di Qing divided his troops into three groups and occupied the remaining counties one by one.
Yizhou Suiping.
Afterwards, Yuan Ke appointed Luo Shixin as General Pingnan and was responsible for taking charge of Chengdu.
Wu Yi was named the governor of Yizhou.
Fazheng was the governor of Shu County, and he also led the governor of Yizhou to join the army.
"Report!"
"My lord, I have just received news that Meng Huo of the Southern Barbarians has led an invasion and has now captured six counties."
"Lord, please show me."
On this day, Yuan Kezheng and Xu Miaoyun were playing in the governor's mansion in Yizhou. Shu County prefect Fa Zheng and Pingnan general Luo Shixin came in.
"Meng Huo is invading?"
"He's looking for death."
"Luo Shixin, you are General Pingnan. You should be responsible for the expedition. You should lead the troops south immediately. Remember to take Yang Jun and the other imperial doctors with you. There are many miasmas in the southern barbarian land. Only with their presence can peace be maintained."
There is fighting again.
In history, Zhuge Kongming captured Meng Huo seven times before he ordered him to surrender. Now, Yuan Ke is not indulging in his opponent. He wants to completely eliminate Meng Huo's army and defeat it.
"yes!"
After hearing this, Luo Shixin took the order and retreated.
At this time, Di Qing was leading an army of 100,000 troops to station in Jiangzhou. Upon hearing the news, Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, immediately sent 100,000 troops to Jiangzhou to prevent Di Qing from invading Jingzhou.
The two sides formed a confrontation near Jiangzhou.
"Fa Zheng, what do you want?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"My lord, I'm here to borrow money."
Fazheng said it truthfully.
"Oh? You, the governor of Shu County, are short of money?"
Yuan Ke didn't believe it.
"My lord, I am really short of money."
"What you don't know is that Liu Zhang and his son were amassing money like crazy. They emptied the treasury of Shu County. Now the county government is completely empty and there is no money to support it. Therefore, I came to borrow money from the Lord."
"The rainy season is coming soon. We need to build water conservancy projects to prevent floods, but there is no money in the county. For the safety of the people in the county, I can only borrow money from you."
Fa Zheng said.
"All right."
"I will give you money, how much do you want?"
After hearing this, Yuan Ke also knew the importance of preventing floods and this matter could not be delayed.
He should borrow this money.
"My lord, five hundred thousand taels is enough."
Fa Zheng said.
"Okay, you go see Wu Yi. Now he is responsible for confiscating Liu Zhang's family property. He has money."
"However, you have to pay me an IOU, do you understand?"
Yuan Ke said.
"yes!"
Afterwards, Fazheng found Wu Yi and borrowed 500,000 taels of silver from him.
Arrangements for water control began immediately.
This matter cannot be delayed.
In the Zhou Mu Mansion, in a fragrant boudoir, Yuan Kezheng and Xu Miaoyun were hanging out. The two were messing around in broad daylight, comforting each other's loneliness.
After an hour, the battle ended.
"Husband, you are so amazing."
Xu Miaoyun lay meekly on Yuan Ke's chest and couldn't help but whisper.
Her face was filled with happiness.
"Have it?"
Yuan Ke asked.
"so so."
He is very humble.
"Husband, I heard that Liu Biao's 100,000-strong army was confronting General Di in Jiangzhou. Do you want to take advantage of the situation and seize Jingzhou?"
Xu Miaoyun said casually.
"No more. Now, the army is fighting one after another. Next, it is better to rest and recuperate."
"It's time to return to Chang'an."
Yuan Ke shook his head.
He's not a fool.
Having just captured Hanzhong and Yizhou, the most important thing at this time is to digest these results. Only in this way can he consolidate his power.
In addition, it is also time to deal with Ma Teng and the Qiang people in Xiliang.
Previously, when Ma Teng and the Qiang invaded, Lan Yu led his army to resist them and defeated them. However, the enemy was still entrenched in Xiliang and would always be a hidden danger if they were not eliminated.
"Okay, people believe Lihua too."
Xu Miaoyun said happily.
Speaking of reports of Yuan Ke's great victory in capturing Yizhou, when he entered Chang'an, the world was shocked, Chang'an was shocked, the government and the public were shocked, and even the young emperor Liu Xie was extremely horrified.
He was surprised and delighted.
"What a Yuan Ke, what a great Sima, he is really brave."
"In less than four months, Hanzhong and Yizhou were pacified, and the Xiliang rebel forces were also quelled."
"So brave!"
However, what shocked him was that now that Liu Zhang's power was gone, he, the young emperor, had one less power to draw on.
Liu Zhang's power was, after all, a member of the royal family.
With the death of Yizhou, Yuan Ke's power is at its peak. It will be even more difficult to bring him down.
"Your Majesty, nothing comes in a hurry. Flowers are not as red as a hundred flowers, and people are not as good as a thousand days. Yuan Ke will be unlucky."
"Now we just have to bide our time."
"We have to endure it!"
Fu Guiren on the side gently reminded Liu Xie.
But her eyes were still full of fear for Yuan Ke.
"Maybe it's time for Master to take action."
