I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 264 Who is more awesome than me?
The door of the mansion was soon opened, and Xu Chong, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed in with a roar. Yuan Shu followed him in and charged and fought with the soldiers. Soon, the rebels in the prefect's mansion were killed and corpses were everywhere.

Under the call of "surrender and no killing", some rebel soldiers did throw away their weapons and kneel on the ground begging for their lives, but there were still many rebel soldiers who resisted stubbornly and possessed a certain combat effectiveness, unlike those big-headed soldiers in the city who knelt on the ground in large numbers and gave up resistance.

But it was of no use, because the gap in strength between the two sides was visible to the naked eye. Yuan Shu broke through the three lines of defense of the rebels in succession, broke through the prefectural government's mansion, broke through the multiple counterattacks of the rebels inside the mansion, and quickly advanced inwards. No rebel force was able to fight against him.

Shouts such as "surrender your weapons and you won't be killed" continued to ring out in the city. Even though he was fighting in the prefectural mansion, Yuan Shu could faintly hear the shouts coming from outside. This made him realize that the Han army had quickly taken control of most of Puyang City, and his expectations had become a reality - at least it sounded like no soldiers were killing innocent people indiscriminately.

As long as you lay down your weapons and remain unarmed, you can survive.

But this does not mean that everyone will survive.

Anyone who resists will surely die, no matter who he is!
Yuan Shu chopped down a rebel soldier with his sword, kicked his body away, and roared as he led his team to continue charging forward, not caring about the blood all over his body and face, nor the strong smell of blood. He had only one goal in mind -

Rush to that bastard Liu He and slap him hard a hundred times!

Xu Chong and Shao Yuan continued to rush forward like two sharp knives, Yuan Shu led the main force to continue advancing, and the three of them worked together and quickly attacked Liu He's last hiding place - a small courtyard, where the last group of well-equipped rebels wearing helmets and armor were holding out for the last time, fighting fiercely with the Han army.

Of course they were powerless to save the situation.

The tough men of the Han army were much stronger than them. No matter how hard they resisted, it was meaningless. They were hacked to death one after another or fell to the ground, with blood flowing all over the ground and corpses piling up like mountains.

After walking through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Yuan Shu led his troops to Liu He.

Liu He was hiding in the corner of the yard in gorgeous clothes. In front of him were more than a dozen guards holding swords and looking terrified. Apart from them, there was no one else.

Everyone was dead, all those who could still fight for him were dead, and the rest were those who could not fight for him, or were unwilling to fight for him. In the end, no one had any hope for him.

"Captain Yuan Shu has been ordered by the Emperor to come and attack the traitor Liu He. Traitor, why don't you surrender?"

Yuan Shu strode forward and glared at Liu He, who was hiding at the back with a pale face.

Liu He seemed stunned when he heard this.

"Yuan Shu? Are you Yuan Shu? Yuan Feng's son?"

Yuan Shu wiped the blood off his face and looked at Liu He coldly.

"Exactly!"

"You...you dare to come here by yourself?"

"A traitor should be killed by everyone! Why shouldn't I come by myself?"

"You! You are the traitor! You are! I am a descendant of the Han Dynasty! You, the traitor, have worked with your father to depose the orthodoxy and usurp the government! How dare you show off in front of me! I raised an army to fight against you, the rebels!"

Liu He seemed to have something to rely on. He was originally hunched over with a look of panic on his face, but now he straightened his back and put on a proud look, as if he was very great.

Yuan Shu spat directly on the ground.

"Bah! What nonsense! Dou's relatives tampered with the imperial edict and established Liu Hong. This is the first crime. Liu Hong was ungrateful and killed Dou Wu and imprisoned the empress dowager. This is the second crime. He carried out the party imprisonment, killed loyal and good people, and harmed the world. This is the third crime! How dare someone with these three crimes claim to be the orthodox one?

The emperor today is the younger brother of the previous emperor, born of the same mother, and the younger brother succeeds the elder brother. This is the right way! The entire court, the civil and military officials, and the people of the world all obeyed this, but you, the remnants of the eunuchs, were unwilling to accept this and raised an army to usurp the throne! How dare you speak so arrogantly! You are so shameless! Left and right, come with me and take him down!"

"Here!"

The soldiers shouted in unison and rushed forward, hacking and slashing, killing all of Liu He's last dozen or so guards. Xu Chongru grabbed Liu He's arms like a chicken and pressed him to the ground, crying out in pain.

The capture of the rebel leader Liu He meant that the rebellion had come to an end. The next thing was to clean up the battlefield and eliminate the remnants. There was no need for large-scale battles, and the war against rebellion had come to an end. Yuan Shu ordered his men to tie Liu He up like a dumpling and stuff his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide. He then kept him under guard and ordered a search of the prefectural government to see if there were any other remnants that had not been caught.

Half an hour later, Yuan Shu found the families of the main leaders of the rebels, including Liu He, Wang Ji, and Wen Mu, in the prefect's mansion. Lian Da, who arrived later, also found a set of crown and clothing that only the emperor could use and three decent jade seals in a small room.

The jade seal was engraved with words such as "The Emperor's Seal" and "The Emperor's Seal", which directly confirmed that Liu He did not raise an army to suppress the rebellion and restore orthodoxy as he claimed, but had evil intentions and attempted to become emperor.

To be honest, when Yuan Shu saw these things, he also felt that they were a bit outrageous.

He felt that Liu He had gathered a group of eunuch remnants to rebel, and the possibility of success was not very high. He should have understood that staying alive was the most important thing. How could he have the leisure time to make the emperor's clothing?

Are you trying to close the door and become your own emperor?
Is the addiction so severe?
He just thought it was funny and handed all these things to Duan Xing who came later.

Duan Yu first praised Yuan Shu's bravery and expressed his willingness to take the credit for him. Then, looking at these unexpected gains, he suddenly felt ecstatic.

These imperial crowns and robes, as well as the imperial seal that only the emperor can use, are all irrefutable evidence that Liu He secretly harbors the ambition to become emperor!
With these hard evidences, Liu He is no longer just an ordinary traitor, but the number one traitor!

"I thought it was just a simple rebellion, but I didn't expect Liu He to secretly aspire to be emperor! Zijia, this way, our merits can be increased to a higher level! Hahahahaha!"

Duan Xing was very happy. He followed Yuan Shu to see Liu He, who was under strict supervision, and mocked him harshly.

Then, Duan Xing expressed that he was a little tired and announced that all the aftermath matters after the capture of Puyang City would be handed over to Yuan Shu. He also handed over the commander's military token to Yuan Shu for holding and allowed him to act in his own name.

Yuan Shu knew that this was an opportunity given by Duan Xing to give him training, so he was very happy and saluted Duan Xing.

"General Duan, I will repay you for your care today tomorrow."

After saying that, Yuan Shu turned around and left to do his business.

Duan Yu looked at Yuan Shu's back as he left, and took out a small bottle of wine that Yuan Shu had given him from his arms. He opened the lid, took a sip, and instantly felt the wine was extremely mellow and had an endless aftertaste. He narrowed his eyes in comfort.

And he can be lazy and do nothing.

I can also do Yuan Shu a favor and make him remember me.

It can also allow Yuan Shu to get training and improve his abilities.

It would also allow Yuan Shu to demonstrate his abilities in front of the entire army, increase his prestige, and increase the possibility of becoming emperor in the future.

For others, killing two birds with one stone is already a very impressive operation, but for Duan, just one move can kill four birds with one stone and take everything into consideration.

Who is more awesome than me?
Duan Xing asked his subordinates to remove his armor for him, changed into casual clothes, and kept warm in the warm room. He sat down on the cushion contentedly, leaning against the soft backrest, closing his eyes, resting while sipping wine. He suddenly felt that his life had reached its peak.

Yuan Shu also felt that his life was constantly climbing upward.

There are a lot of things to do after a war, and they are very complicated. Normal people would find it difficult, but for him, a newcomer who has just entered the industry, he is not afraid of the number or the difficulty, but only afraid of not having the opportunity to do them.

Now that Duan Xing had given him this opportunity, he was eager to take it and put all his energy into the aftermath.

He first summoned military officers above the rank of military Sima, displayed the tiger talisman, announced Duan Xing's order, and quickly gained the approval of all the officers.

Everyone saw Yuan Shu's performance in this battle. He was very capable, without the temper of a nobleman, and his interpersonal relationships were impeccable. He was a scholar of noble birth, knew how to behave, was generous, and had a good heart. Whether out of currying favor with him or simply admiring him, these officers all had a very high degree of favorability towards Yuan Shu.

Now that Duan Xing is willing to delegate power, they are happy to obey his orders. After all, it doesn't matter who gives the orders, right?
