Chapter 822: Death from vomiting blood
It is said that something went wrong outside the Beimang Mountain Tunnel, and Chen Long took Yuan Shu's prince and princess hostage. It happened that Zhou Buyi launched a five-pronged surprise attack on Luoyang when he was young. For a moment, the horses' hooves trembled, the golden drums sounded, and the earth shook.
Chen Long was worried that the Qinglong Army's siege would cause too much damage, so he rushed all the way to the Luobei battlefield, where he saw countless soldiers climbing the city in a dark and bloody battle. The city walls were high, and arrows were raining down. The Qinglong Army suffered numerous casualties. But where can I find Zhou Buyi? Fortunately, he roared like a lion and roared out Zhou Buyi and Huang Gai in unison.
According to Chen Long's order, the siege Qinglong Army slowly retreated ten miles away. Chen Long ordered his men to escort Yuan Yao and four others. Zhou Busuo was so smart and asked, "Lord, where did these people come from?"
Chen Long pointed at Yuan Yao and said, "How many lives of the Qinglong Army do you think this boy is worth?"
Zhou Busuo scratched his ears and cheeks, walked over and pinched Yuan Yao's chin and said, "This kid looks wretched and has no head and six arms! How much is he worth?"
Yuan Yao did not dare to insult, and said bitterly: "Boy, I am the current crown prince of the Zhong family! If you dare to talk nonsense again, my father will chop off your dog's head!"
This sentence made Zhou Buyi understand, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "My lord, you really make me fall in love with you! Come on, come on, let me take this kid to the battlefield! Let's see who cuts off whose head! These dog heads Who is it again?”
Chen Long nodded and asked several special forces members to hold bright torches, pushed the four of them to the front, walked slowly through the Qinglong Army passage, and headed straight for the Luoyang city wall. Wherever they passed, the Azure Dragon Army knew that the Lord of the Azure Dragon had arrived, and they all showed great respect. They all stood at attention and saluted, and the ranks were neat and orderly, but as quiet as if they were not a battlefield, and the atmosphere was solemn.
At the head of the city, Yuan Shu, wearing a golden helmet and armor, holding a brilliant golden sword in his hand, was looking at the continuous torches outside the city in a daze. Li Feng was busy making arrangements to deal with the second wave of attacks by the Qinglong Army, but his heart kept beating, wondering what kind of medicine the Qinglong Army was selling. There are still 60,000 troops in Luoyang City. Li Feng has already sent people to mobilize Lei Bo's army and horses to rush into the city to help. If you don't believe that 80,000 troops can't defend Luoyang City. At this moment, soldiers came to send a message, and the Qinglong Army attacking the city from the west and northwest also retreated ten miles. For some reason, Li Feng was even more excited.
At this moment, the group of Qinglong military torches outside the city suddenly divided into two sides, revealing a passage, and a small team slowly walked out of the passage. The team walked slowly towards the high city gate. Li Feng ordered the archers to prepare, but Yuan Shu stopped them with gestures.
The small team moved forward to the moat, and then stopped when they were already within the range of the strong bow. Yuan Shujun was all surprised. Is it true that there are people who are not afraid of death? It is indeed extremely strange to deliberately commit suicide like this.
By the moat, Chen Long looked at the tall city wall in the light of torches, feeling infinite emotion in his heart. All the things that happened in Luoyang City in the past couldn't help but come to mind. I could faintly see a golden helmet shining on the top of the city. He spoke with Chun Lei and said: "I am Chen Long, the general of the Han Dynasty. Brothers on the top of the city, please listen to me. Please tell me about our old friendship!"
When the top of the city heard that the Lord of the Blue Dragon was actually coming to the city, there was a buzz of discussion immediately. Countless strong bows and crossbows were immediately aimed at Chen Long, and the bright arrows were densely packed all over the battlements.
Li Feng was shocked in his heart. He took a step forward and looked outside the city. In the light of the torch, he saw a tall and mighty general, but without armor, standing by the moat like a javelin. There were several people behind him, but they couldn't see their faces clearly. Li Feng turned around and asked Yuan Shu, who was standing upright, with his eyes for instructions, but he didn't see any movement from Yuan Shu.
Seeing the silence on the city wall, Chen Long said again: "Chen Long, please tell me about our old friendship! Brother Gu, do you still remember the past in Luoyang?"
Yuan Shu trembled all over and finally walked to the edge of the battlements. Chen Long saw the golden helmet protruding from the battlements at a glance, and was about to speak when suddenly Yuan Ji and Yuan Yao behind him shouted at the same time: "Dad!"
This call of "Father" immediately shattered Yuan Shu's psychological defense, and his ominous premonition was confirmed. It was indeed Yuan Shu's beloved son Yuan Yao and his beloved daughter Yuan Ji. Yuan Shu felt like there were thousands of ants in his chest. He pressed his heart and shouted: "Chen Long! You..." but he choked up and couldn't speak anymore.
Chen Long ordered Yuan Yao and four others to be pushed to the front and illuminated with torches. Looking from the tower, it was clearly visible that they were Yuan Yao, Yuan Ji, Yan Xiang, and Yuan Xu. Yuan Shu held his chest tightly and looked at Yan Xiang bitterly, still unable to say a word. Li Feng had already ordered his soldiers to collect the arrows, but he didn't know what to do.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Long finally spoke: "Highway, you always keep your eyes on the road, and your advisers are always ready to make plans. You know that our army has been well-organized for a long time. How could your son escape from our camp?"
Yuan Shu finally recovered a little from the angina, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Chen Long! You are despicable and shameless, and you used your only son and daughter as a threat. How are you doing now?"
Chen Long calmly spoke: "Gaolu, I guess you knew that the building was going to collapse, so you secretly sent your children away. Please tell me about the highway, do you want them to go to Yuan Benchu?"
Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and said, "So what?"
Chen Long slowly shook his head and said: "How unwise is the road? If Yuan Yao is really allowed to go to Benchu, he will probably die without a burial place. Even if Benchu doesn't kill Yuan Yao, how can Yuan Shang tolerate him? On the side of the bed , how can you allow others to snore and sleep? You don’t even understand this principle about highways, no wonder it’s at the end of its rope now.”
Yuan Shu was about to protest, but felt that Chen Long's words were reasonable, and was speechless for a moment. Chen Long added: "Besides, they were beaten to death by our Qinglong Army, and Jizhou will be in the hands of our Qinglong Army sooner or later. Does the highway really want Yuan Yao and Yuan Ji to be displaced from here on?"
Yuan Shu felt that the world was spinning and his angina pectoris was coming again. He held his heart and asked reluctantly: "Why are you talking so much? Now that my children are in your hands, what do you want?"
Chen Long said slowly and forcefully: "The world is so big that there is no way for you, Yuan Gongdao, to survive. Only our Qinglong Army never kills innocent people indiscriminately and can protect your family of Yuan Shu. Today, Yuan Yao and Yuan Ji are worth Isn’t it worth your lonely city of Luoyang?”
When Yuan Shu heard this, he was furious. He could no longer suppress the severe pain in his chest and spurted out a stream of blood. Li Feng quickly stepped forward to support Yuan Shu and massage his heart and lungs. After a long while, Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief and regained his composure. What Chen Long wants is Luoyang City, which is now Yuan Shu's only isolated city. This statement makes Yuan Shu unable to turn around no matter what, but it is an ironclad fact.
Chen Long's voice continued to float: "Highway! I have a hundred thousand soldiers here, and I was going to take your Luoyang City tonight. How can you resist? How many hours can you resist? If you continue to resist, it will be in vain. The lives of the brothers on both sides. Now that the lives of Yuan Ji and Yuan Yao are at stake, I only want you to peacefully surrender to the Qinglong Army and hand over Luoyang. I will naturally preserve the Yuan family lineage and guarantee that Yuan Yao will be an official in Jingzhou. As long as he can As long as you work hard for the people, you will surely stand out one day. I, Chen Long, have always said the same thing. You should know that I am not a shameless murderer like Cao Cao. If Cao Cao breaks through Luoyang, all the people in the city will probably be slaughtered!"
Yuan Shu spurted out another mouthful of blood, spraying all over Li Feng's face. Li Feng, however, did not dare to order people to help Yuan Shu down to the top of the city to rest because the prince and princess were under the city, and only Yuan Shu himself could decide their life or death at this time. Looking around at the soldiers on the top of the city, they lowered their heads and remained silent because of Chen Long's words. It was obvious that their morale was low.
Yuan Shu finally struggled to stand up and looked at Yuan Yao and Yuan Ji in the light of torches below the city. The arrogance that he once held above his head had now fallen into the mortal world. It's just that the city of Luoyang was destroyed, so what if the man was shrouded in horse leather and died in a majestic battle. It was pitiful that Yuan Yao and Yuan Ji were still so young. If he had managed to hold on, tonight would be the day when the whole family would be wiped out.
In fact, even if Yuan Shu did not surrender, Chen Long would not kill Yuan Yao and Yuan Ji. However, Yuan Shu compared Cao Cao to Chen Long, so how dare he bet that Chen Long would never kill children. At this moment, Yuan Shu was completely despairing. Suddenly, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he said to Li Feng: "Open the city gate, I want to go out to see my child."
Li Feng was shocked, but Yuan Shu asked him to carry out the plan resolutely. Li Feng led a small team and personally escorted Yuan Shu down to the city and lowered the suspension bridge. Yuan Shu followed suit and walked across the moat from the suspension bridge. He had already taken off his golden helmet and armor, his white hair was flying in the wind, and there were traces of blood on his face, which looked very resembling. An old man in his dying years.
Chen Long was silent and brought Yuan Yao and Yuan Ji to Yuan Shu. The two children rushed to Yuan Shu's side, and the three of them cried and hugged each other. When Yuan Shu cried enough, he finally raised his cloudy eyes, looked at the handsome and tall Chen Long, and slowly spoke: "Chen Long, you are the Lord of Qinglong, do you keep your word?"
Chen Long immediately said: "The happiness of Yuan Yao and Yuan Ji's life lies in your hands."
Yuan Shu said again: "Chen Long, you are the Lord of Qinglong, and you are the only one in the world who can compete with Cao Cao. Can you possibly protect my subjects and people in Luoyang?"
Chen Long immediately said: "The people of Hecheng are protected by our Qinglong Army, and only our Qinglong Army can defend them."
Yuan Shu said again: "Chen Long, you are the Lord of Qinglong, do you want to unify the world?"
Chen Long immediately said: "It is my lifelong dream to end the bloody killings, end displacement and war, establish a unified China, bring eternal peace to the people, and return power to the people."
Yuan Shu shook his head and said nothing, as if he didn't understand why he wanted to return power to the people, but waved towards Yan Xiang. Yan Xiang came over with tears in his eyes and a face full of shame. He only heard Yuan Shu say: "Master Yan, I will hand over the imperial seal to the Lord of Qinglong. Pass on my last words and order Zhong's army to surrender to the Qinglong army." After that, , his knees suddenly collapsed, he knelt on the ground and vomited several liters of blood and died. He was sixty and three years old.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
