Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 642 is coming to an end...

"Where's Liang Min? Where's Liang Min?" Yuan Shu's eyes were bloodshot. He, who hadn't slept all night, saw the fire light finally extinguished in the morning light, but his heart was as anxious as being scorched by wildfire at this moment: "Hurry up! Liang Min came to the city wall to command the defense, and the Han army is about to attack!"

Yuan Shu's words seemed to prophesy at this time. In the twilight of the morning light, Yuan Jun on the top of the city saw the high-spirited march of the Han army.Hundreds of warships are like hardworking ants, wandering back and forth on the Huaishui River.A majestic army appeared in front of their eyes, and they slowly lined up with extremely skilled and regular movements, and began to march towards Shouchun City.

"Why, why didn't they set up a camp?" Yuan Shu roared knowingly, but at this moment, he didn't even dare to express his anger, only the fear in his face: "Could it be that they are sure that today is the time when Shouchun City will be broken, and there is no need for it to be broken?" Don’t need to set up a camp anymore? It’s too much to deceive people, it’s simply too much to deceive people!”

However, the Han army did not stop at all because of Yuan Shu's useless roar. First, more than [-] soldiers of the Northern Army arrived at the city of Shouchun. In the neat and orderly siege camp, countless banners of the Han Dynasty fluttered in the wind.Just looking at the shining armor and war blades of these ten thousand soldiers is enough to make people feel the endless solemn murderous intent above these ten thousand soldiers.Not to mention, there are servants behind them, who are continuously transporting some siege equipment to the front line of the camp.

Yuan Shu on the top of the city saw that there were almost all kinds of siege equipment, such as ladders, well rails, thunderbolt chariots, and even ballistas that he had never seen before.All the soldiers were under the eyes of Yuan Jun at the top of the city, so that they could check their crossbow arrows leisurely, waiting for the moment when the command flag was issued, feathers and arrows flew like locusts, and blood rained.

After that, other troops of the Han Dynasty gradually arrived, Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Xu Huang's elite Tigers, and Gao Shun, who seemed to make the earth tremble with every step. Camp... In the end, under the canopy like a cloud, the emperor of the Han Dynasty slowly appeared in front of everyone in grand attire.

It took the Han Dynasty a whole morning just to cross the river.And Liu Xie's splendid costume when he finally appeared on the stage showed that he was only here to receive Shouchun City rather than conquer it.All of this once again cast a heavy shadow on Yuan Jun's heart who had not yet reacted from the horror of yesterday's war on the top of the city.

When the sun finally rose to the sky, all Yuan Jun's eyes were on His Majesty Dacheng.Although Yuan Shu in military attire was more suitable for this battlefield at this time, but seeing the turbulent sweat on Yuan Shu's face and the relaxed but cold smile of the emperor of the Han Dynasty below the city, all Yuan Jun's hearts went cold.

They all know: This battle is unnecessary... The ending is already doomed.

"Where is Liang Min? Where is Liang Min?!" Yuan Shu suddenly went crazy and shouted out this name. He remembered that he had asked his personal guards to summon Liang Min in the morning. Appear?
"Return to Your Majesty, Mr. Liang has been missing since His Majesty returned in embarrassment last night." A personal guard lowered his head and said these words in a deep tone.

Yuan Shu suddenly realized something, he guessed that Liang Min had abandoned him, but no matter how much he yelled now, it was useless.Looking around, his body trembled violently, which was a normal reaction when faced with great fear: "Where is Zhang Xun? Come on, let Zhang Xun be released from the court captain quickly, and the Zhong family wants him to pay for his meritorious deeds." !"

At the last moment of life and death, Yuan Shu realized that he needed someone with real talent and learning, not Zhang Jiong, the national teacher who was proficient in destiny.Now, Yuan Shu also hated that demon to death, if it wasn't for him, how could he end up in such a fate!Yesterday, that Yao Dao was only drowned in the Huai River, it was too cheap for him.

"My lord, the last general is here." The guard raised his head slightly at this moment, revealing an old but expressionless face.And this face Yuan Shu is most familiar with, but at this moment, it makes Yuan Shu feel so strange: "You, how are you?..."

"The last general has been by the lord's side for many years, and he treats the soldiers fairly. Therefore, after the last general was rescued by the Jinyiwei of the Han Dynasty, then people agreed to help the last general hide the news. As for the last general's family members, they were also rescued by the Jinyiwei of the Han Dynasty. Properly arrange it, and don't bother the lord." Zhang Xun said these in a flat tone, as if he was reporting an unusual event to Yuan Shu.

But Yuan Shu became more startled the more he listened, especially when he heard the words 'Hanshi Jinyiwei', he took a step back abruptly, and then shouted unwillingly: "You rebellious minister, you really have taken refuge in me!" Han Dynasty, you traitor who betrayed Benzhong's family will be struck by thunder and die! Come, come, quickly take down this traitor, take down!..."

Yuan Shu pointed at Zhang Xun tremblingly with one hand, but after seeing that none of the soldiers behind him moved, he seemed to suddenly understand something.That hand looked around and pointed at all the soldiers around him: "You, are you all against me? Don't forget, all your food and clothing belong to Ben Zhong's family, and your relatives and families are all in Ben Zhong's family." It is under the control of the Zhong family!"

This hoarse threat did not have any effect. Yuan Shu saw that these soldiers were looking at him with strange eyes. There were ridicule, disdain, hatred, and anger in those eyes, but there were none. , is the fear and respect for the emperor.

At this time, Yuan Shu stood among these people, like a broken ship isolated in the ocean, crumbling.

"Soldiers, we have dedicated a lot to this lord. We don't owe him anything anymore, but he owes us. We are all the people of the Han Dynasty, and we should support the orthodoxy and abandon the darkness for the light. If you still believe in the old man, then Please listen to the old man's words, put down your weapons, and open the city gate to welcome the world into the city!"

With a clatter, before Zhang Xun finished speaking, a personal guard beside Yuan Shu had already thrown the Ring Shou Dao in his hand on the city wall.Immediately afterwards, the sound of countless weapons falling to the ground sounded, as if a burst of metal rain fell on the city wall.All Yuan Jun dropped the weapons in their hands blankly, but their eyes became brighter, and they stood behind Zhang Xun with practical actions, expressing their position.

And at this moment, Liu Xie's carriage had already started to slowly drive down Shouchun City.Zhang Xun knew what he should do next, and once again waved his hand indifferently and ordered: "Open the city gate, lower the suspension bridge, and invite the prince out to surrender to the world..."

"Prince, surrender?" Yuan Shu couldn't have imagined that things had turned into this suddenly, his complexion suddenly flushed, and he let out a cry like a bull's roar: "No, no! It won't be like this, I Yuan Gonglu is a man of destiny, and he will not end up like this!"

After shouting this sentence, Yuan Shu suddenly went crazy and ran towards the city.Some soldiers on the city wall wanted to stop Yuan Shu, but found that Zhang Xun was just looking at all this sternly, and did not speak, so these soldiers let Yuan Shu go.

After all, everyone knew that Shouchun was surrounded on all sides, and Yuan Shu had no escape.Letting Yuan Shu go like this is just like Liu Xie had no intention of Yuan Shu a few days ago, because everyone knows that his end is already doomed.

The suspension bridge of Shouchun City was slowly lowered, and the gates of the city were rumbled open.Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, did not wait long at the base of the city, when he saw Yuan Yao with his upper back bare, his hands tied behind his back, and a jade bi in his mouth.Yuan Huan, Yan Xiang and others who followed Yuan Yao were all wearing filial piety clothes, and Yuan Huan, who was next to Yuan Yao, was holding a goat in his hand.Fifty soldiers behind him carried a coffin.

Liu Xie asked Leng Shouguang to drive slowly in front of this strange army. After traveling for nearly four years, he naturally knew that this was the most formal surrender etiquette in "Zuo Zhuan": the monarch's face bound, his mouth full of jade, his bare hands. The body leads the sheep, while the doctor is in decline (wearing filial piety), and the scholar is in the coffin (carrying the coffin).

So, when Liu Xie got off the car, he had an extra torch in his hand.He first walked up to Yuan Yao, took the jade disc from Yuan Yao's mouth silently, and then said: "If you surrender your sincerity with courtesy, I will treat you with the courtesy of a king."

"I don't dare to commit crimes. My father usurped and usurped us. This crime cannot be punished. Yao only asks for a sack of food and a ladle of drink to live in the world, and he dare not expect extravagant expectations." The emperor of the Han Dynasty who was standing under the torch at the age of [-], his eyes were dimmed for a while.But in the end, he still touched the ground with his head, not daring to look at Liu Xie again.

"I am not the king who destroys Yazi, and you don't need to worry about dying in the future. All the crimes committed today that are not due to war are not your fault." After finishing speaking, Liu Xie raised Yuan Yao with one hand, and motioned to Yuan Huan and Yan Xiang After untying Yuan Yao's shackles, he led Yuan Yao to the coffin.Afterwards, he handed over the torch in his hand to Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao was amazed for a moment, and it is said that the burning of the coffin should be done by the emperor of the Han Dynasty.He, a subjugated person, has no qualifications.But Liu Xie signaled Yuan Yao with his eyes again, and finally Yuan Yao mustered up the courage to throw the torch into the coffin that had been filled with kerosene long ago.

The raging flames ignited in front of the city gate, and the [-] Han army immediately burst into deafening shouts.While Yuan Yao and Liu Xie looked at the flames together, feeling a little heavy in his heart was let go: Finally, it's over...
