Chapter 141 The Chaos in Wei
“Half is done.”
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan with a faint smile on his face, “Tomorrow will be the other half.”
He As soon as he finished speaking, a big hand was pressed on his shoulder. The smile on Zhuge Liang's face suddenly froze, and he heard rough laughter coming from behind him.
"Military advisor, it's a rare reunion, haha... I'll let you go after drinking all night tonight!"
The lights in the room turned on, illuminating the burly figure with a leopard's head and eyes. Zhang Fei grinned. At the round table behind him, Guan Yu smiled softly while stroking his beard. Zhao Yun picked up the wine jar and was filling the big bowls.
Next to him, there are also Zhou Cang and Ma Chao accompanying him. Not long after, the door was knocked open. Zhang Fei stared at Dong Zhuo and Li Jue outside the door, "What are you doing here?"
"Come and share the table!" Dong Zhuo walked in, behind him Li Jue held two large wine jars in his arms.
Zhang Fei watched the two people come in angrily. Just as he closed the door, it was knocked open again. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun stood at the door with a smile, each holding a jar of wine in their arms. They must have just heard Dong Zhuo's words also echoed in unison: "Let's share the table!"
Zhuge Liang looked at the room full of burly men. There was a jar of wine on the table, and the feather fan in his hand was shaking so much that the feathers were almost flung out.
"In the Northern Expedition, if Liang had such soldiers, why would he worry about the Han Dynasty disappearing?"
"Military advisor, we will help the Han Dynasty later. You can deal with it tonight first!" Zhao Yun patted the wine on the table. Altar, a group of generals in the room suddenly laughed.
"We are reunited today, and Liang will not make any excuses."
Zhuge Liang took the drink from Zhang Fei, "Actually, when Liang woke up today and saw you all, he felt unspeakable. Such joy!”
Tears fell on the old man’s face again.
He drank the wine in one gulp, and Guan Yu also picked up a bowl of wine, "Guan apologized to the military advisor. If I had listened to you, Jingzhou would not have lost it, nor would my eldest brother, third brother, or the generals of Shu." He died as a result!"
Zhang Fei patted Guan Yu on the shoulder: "Second brother, don't blame yourself, it's all over, except for the cutting of the neck, which was more painful!"
Haha!
Everyone in the room burst into laughter again, and Su Chen also laughed. Dong Zhuo came over with a round belly and a drink to persuade. He was one of the first people to come, and he was also the most emotional.
“It’s all over. Now that everyone is gathered together, it’s time to renew our ambitions and complete the unfinished work!”
At this time, the door opened, and Li Bai, who was drunk, poked his head in.
"I heard there is wine here..."
...
Inn.
The six of them returned to the room, but how could they sleep deeply? In addition, the drinking and laughter coming from nowhere made it even more difficult for them to fall asleep. After tossing and turning for two or three hours, they were about to fall asleep, and the sky turned dark. It's bright again.
The guards were already outside waking them up.
As a result, the six people went out, their eyes were red, but they still had to get up early to visit Su Chen. Not far after leaving the post house, they saw people in the city gathering on the streets. Soon, prison cars passed by them Passing by, there were many old people and children with messy buns and frightened eyes.
“You really don’t know how to live and die, and you dare to do such things as rebellion!”
“Yes...it also involves the family. Look at how old the child is. If he is exiled to another country, he will be gone. I don’t know if I can make a living.”
“Oh, I heard that the wives and concubines of those who committed crimes are pitiful...”
From what others heard, it seemed that they were implicated in some evil plot. The elderly and children were exiled, and the young and middle-aged were dragged to Caishikou to be beheaded.
It is not difficult for Duan Jin and others to think of what happened last night.
Looking at the old people and children of all sizes in more than a dozen prison cars, as well as the young men who were about to be beheaded, the six people had complicated expressions. After all, they were also rebels.
If the rebellion fails, my relatives and friends at home may be locked up in a prison car and escorted to the execution ground like they are now.
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel lingering fear.
On the way to the General's Mansion, the six of them were relatively silent and did not speak. When they arrived at the General's Mansion, they met Su Chen who was going out, but he smelled of alcohol and his eyes were red. The guard on the side also had bloodshot eyes.
Duan Jin and others could easily tell that it was due to the hard work of arresting the rebels last night. They all pursed their lips and raised their hands to Su Chen.
"Since Marquis Wei is tired, he should have a rest, why do he have to go out again?"
"There are some annoying things, but fortunately they have been dealt with. I originally wanted to accompany my six uncles. I wanted to walk around the city and see the prosperity of Yanjing, but I am no longer in the mood. Instead, I want to relax outside the city." Su Chen asked people to bring the horses and looked at the six of them: "You might as well come with me. Just take a look at the monument I built.”
monument?
This was the first time for the six of them to hear that Su Chen had built such a thing. Since they had nothing to do at the moment, they readily agreed and rode on the horses in the house to follow Su Chen out of the city. When they passed Caishikou, they also I saw the execution scene over there.
In fact, what the six of them didn't know was that the people who were beheaded were not the people who made trouble yesterday, but some people who were caught taking advantage of the chaos and plundering a few days ago, and they happened to be used right now. here.
Seeing heads being chopped off one after another, several princes who always tended to the rear and did not participate in the battle quickly turned their faces away, not wanting to watch any more.
After leaving Yanjing, most of the people along the way were Su Chen talking and six people listening. As we moved forward, there were gradually more woods and fields around us, and we passed a section of hills.
Then a tinkling sound was heard.
Going around the corner, what everyone saw on horseback was a huge stone pillar. Many craftsmen were chiseling something on it. There were dozens or hundreds of stone tablets standing around it, and there were also twenty Thirty stonemasons carved on it.
"Marquis Wei, is this the monument you are talking about? What did they carve on it?" Yonghuaihou Wei Qian hurried forward and squinted his eyes across the road below to take a closer look.
"Names of people." Su Chen stroked the horse's mane and said softly: "All the way north, the soldiers who died on the way, whether they were generals or soldiers, are all on it."
"The general is considerate. Soldiers!" As a general, Zhong Ji was quite touched by this, and he gave Su Chen a heavy hand.
Su Chen smiled, looked over and continued: "I don't know if this is considered compassionate, but they have contributed a lot to getting to where I am today. I do what I can to let everyone I know them, but after actually standing in this position these days, I know how hard it is. I have trouble sleeping and eating every night. It is worse than being a dissipated young master of the Hou family in Ding'an City. "
Duan Jin. Frowning slightly: "Weihou has trouble sleeping and eating, is it because of what happened last night?"
"It's far more than that." Su Chen pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "I killed a lot today, and there may be more tomorrow. There will be a new group, not only in Yanjing, but also in other states."
Everyone fell silent.
"My uncles and I went on the Northern Expedition together, and we have a deep affection for each other. The scary thing is that if there are soldiers and generals in the army of uncles and uncles, and there are also officials in the city who want to conspire to cause rebellion? What should I do then? Bring troops to suppress?
Then where do I put my friendship with all my uncles and uncles? If we don't suppress it, just like when we started an uprising, the Yan State will be at war, which is not what we want to see. By then, how many heads will fall to the ground, and how many soldiers will be buried in foreign lands. "
The silence behind him was still terrible.
Dian Wei looked at them and slowly raised his hand to grab the halberd on his back.
"General, I will take my place. Father surrenders military power! "
At this time, Wu Zixun, who had always been a regular attendant, suddenly said, "Anyway, my father has always lived in Yunqi. It doesn't matter whether he has soldiers or not. Just be his marquis." ”
The six people looked at each other. How could they not see it at this juncture? Zhou Xiang, who has always been timid, hesitated for a moment, thinking about the family members of the troublemakers in the prison car. He turned over and dismounted in a panic. "Marquis Wei, I...I still have more than 10,000 people in my hands, and I will leave them all to you!"
The remaining Duan Jin and others did not speak. In the peripheral vision, there was dust and smoke running in the distance. A mighty group of cavalry galloped across the field.
Everyone couldn’t help but feel a little thump in their hearts. Zhao Guangwei gritted his teeth, and finally got off his horse and raised his hands: "I have 50,000 men, and I will hand them over to Marquis Wei today!" , also dismounted, willing to hand over the soldiers and horses in the coalition army.
Only Zhong Ji, the confidant general of Fenzhou Liaoxiang Hou, was still sitting on the horse.
"General... The last general is just a general. I can't decide whether to keep or leave my subordinates..."
At this moment, there was an eagle cry in the sky. Su Chen raised his head and looked up, and saw a big eagle flying. Then it passed over everyone's heads and landed on Dian Wei's hand. He took the rolled note inside and handed it to Su Chen.
With just one glance, the veins on Su Chen's forehead bulged and his voice became cold.
"I have some bad news for you... Wang Jing, the Marquis of Liaoxiang, died in battle..."
Zhong Ji instantly got off his horse, ran towards Su Chen, took the note from his hand, My whole body trembled!
Duan Jin, Zhao Guangwei and others came forward one after another, and saw that the note only had one sentence: Wei invaded Fenzhou, slaughtered an entire city, and the Marquis of Liaoxiang died in the battle.
"General!"
Zhong Ji suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed his head to Su Chen on horseback: "The last general is willing to hand over his troops, but he hopes to avenge the Marquis of Liaoxiang. Hate!"
"Even if you don't hand over the troops, I will do it."
Perhaps feeling some unusual aura, the war horse shook his head slightly, Su Chen. He stroked its mane and looked at the note on the ground with murderous intent in his eyes.
"It just so happens that I haven't found a reason yet, so they sent it to me right now."
