"Ah~~" Yuan Yao screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
Yuan Fang did not hold back the red rabbit's horse hooves. Nuo Da's huge body took advantage of the situation and stepped over Yuan Yao who landed on the ground. The iron hoofs stepped heavily on his legs.
Click!
With a crisp sound, one of Yuan Yao's legs was trampled to pieces by Yuan Fang's horse.
One arm was cut off and one leg was crushed. Yuan Yao was in pain like a wild dog whose tail had been stepped on. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground rolling back and forth.
Yuan Fang turned his horse around, holding a bloody halberd in his hand, and slowly reined in his horse in front of Yuan Yao, looking down at Yuan Yao who was in great pain with cold eyes.
"Yuan Fang, you bitch, how dare you hurt this prince, my father will never let you go~"
Yuan Yao, who was in unbearable pain, gritted his teeth with hatred and cursed Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "These days, no matter how many cats and dogs dare to call themselves emperors, Yuan Yao, you and your father Yuan Shu are just clowns, and you don't deserve to be called a prince in front of me!" "
Yuan Yao struggled to get up and cursed fiercely: "Yuan Fang, you bitch, how dare you humiliate my Yuan family. My father is destined to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty. It is the will of God and the will of the people. If you understand, Just surrender to my father, otherwise, my father will cut you into pieces~~"
In such a situation, Yuan Yao actually dared to rely on their noble blood, thinking that Yuan Fang would succumb and be afraid of their noble origin.
Yuan Fang was not angry, he only felt that they were ridiculous and pathetic.
"The world is at peace, so you can just rely on your bloodline. Today there is chaos, how dare you brag about your bloodline."
Don¡¯t you know? The principle of princes and generals is most applicable in troubled times.
"In order to claim the title of emperor, you, the Yuan family and your son, indulged in extravagance and lust, and abused the power of the people, causing countless families in Huainan to be destroyed and their wives separated. During that war, I, Yuan Fang, swore that you would be killed. Father and son, save the people of Huainan from fire and water, Yuan Yao, it¡¯s your time to kill them.¡±
Shen Sheng counted the crimes of Yuan Shu and his son. Yuan Fang holds Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand. It has been slowly raised and will take Yuan Yao's life.
At this time, Yuan Yao, who was originally angry, couldn't help but become afraid. That bloody blade. His self-reliance was instantly shattered.
"Yuan Fang. I am your cousin after all. If you dare to kill me, you will be killing your brother. Everyone in the world will regard you as a beast. You must think clearly!" Yuan Yao shouted in shock and anger.
Yuan Fang sneered and said disdainfully: "I dare to kill Yuan Xi, but why don't I dare to kill you! Those of you who look down on me and oppress me can scold you however you want. One day, I will let all of you I regret it all.¡±
The words of pride and disdain are as calm as water, but they contain endless confidence.
Without any further hesitation, Fang Tian drew the halberd in his hand and drew it down vigorously.
¡°No, no, no~~¡±
Yuan Yao was frightened to the extreme. He completely ignored his dignity as the "prince" and howled and begged Yuan Fang for mercy.
The heavy halberd was cut down ruthlessly.
Poof!
Yuan Yao's huge head rolled to the ground.
"Master, is this boy Yuan Yao?" Zhuge Liang, who came on horseback, shouted excitedly.
Yuan Fang stood with his halberd crossed, smiled and nodded.
"Well done, Yuan Shu and his son are just like the common people, they should all be killed." Zhuge Liang cursed angrily, but then said: "Master, what should we do now?"
Yuan Fang turned his gaze to the west and said coldly: "First send me Yuan Yao's head to Shouchun. I want to scare Yuan Shu's courage."
"Promise!" Zhuge Liang exclaimed, and immediately passed on the order.
After Yuan Fang killed Yuan Yao, he did not take advantage of the situation to advance westward. Instead, he turned his horse back to the enemy camp in Dangtu.
In Zhongli City east of Dangtu, there are still tens of thousands of Huainan troops under Qiao Rui's command. Unless this army is eliminated, Yuan Fang will certainly not be able to attack Shouchun westward with confidence.
When the last ray of sunset faded away, the battle between Dangtu and Tuyi finally ended.
Five thousand Huainan troops were killed without a single piece of armor left. The two large camps of floods and droughts were both captured by Yuan Fang. This strategic location connected to Guoshui was occupied by Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang entered the camp and entered Yuan Yao's tent.
In the big tent, there were still more than ten dancing and singing girls, all of them frightened and panicked.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Fang couldn't help but sneered: "Yuan Shu and his son are really greedy for pleasure. In the midst of the battle, they actually brought the dancing girl into battle. It's strange that they are undefeated."
Yuan Fangcong ordered that all the dancers and singers be rewarded to the meritorious generals.
When night fell, Yuan Fang sat high up, while Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and other bloody generals came to report the results of the battle.
When the tent curtain was raised, Ji Ling carried an enemy scribe into the tent excitedly and threw the man in front of Yuan Fang.
"My lord, this person is Yan Xiang, the first counselor under Yuan Shu's command. The general has captured him alive and left him at my lord's disposal," Ji Ling said excitedly.
The Yan Xiang got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and stood there silently, without speaking.
Yuan Fang looked at him for a few times and asked in a deep voice: "Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu is treasonous and unethical. He actually proclaimed himself emperor. You didn't stop him, but you helped Zhou become Jie. What crime should you do?"
Yan Xiang sighed and said silently: "My lord wanted to proclaim himself emperor, and Yan also tried to remonstrate with him. Unfortunately, my lord didn't listen, and Yan was helpless. Now I have fallen into the hands of the general. He wants to kill or behead me. Please listen to me." Just do it.¡±
The Yan Xiang in front of him did not show any generosity. He seemed a little ashamed when faced with Yuan Fang's questioning.
Before Yuan Fang¡¯s crusade against Yuan Shu, he carefully studied the important figures in Yuan Shu¡¯s camp and was familiar with what they did.
He did remember that the intelligence stated that when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Yan Xiang tried his best to stop him, but Yuan Shu not only refused to listen, but also reprimanded him.
From this point of view, although Yan Xiang is Yuan Shu's number one counselor, he runs counter to Yuan Shu's ideas and may not be his die-hard loyalist.
Thinking of this, Yuan Fangfang said: "I am on behalf of the emperor to attack the traitors. Yuan Shu has conspired to rebel and must be punished. Since you have stopped Yuan Shu's rebellion, you have avenged your sins and will not die. Now I will give you a general to atone for your sins." If you have the chance, as long as you are willing to surrender and persuade Qiao Rui to surrender for me, I will forgive your sin."
Yan Xiang¡¯s figure was shaken, and a glimmer of hope emerged in his eyes. Lost in thought for a moment.
After pondering for a long time, Yan Xiang sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General Yuan, for showing mercy. Yan is willing to atone for his sins and persuade Qiao Rui to surrender."
Yan Xiang is willing to surrender, but Yuan Fang is not that easy to believe in him.
¡°After all, this person did not have many names in history, and Yuan Fang¡¯s grasp of his character is far less accurate than that of Xu Huang, a general who was demoted.
"Open the mind-reading pupil for me!"
Yuan Fang stared at Yan Xiang¡¯s eyes. The heart-reading pupil of the left eye opened silently. Without anyone noticing, he invaded Yan Xiang's thoughts.
It seems that due to the evolution of the biochemical body, Yuan Fang still cannot easily change people's thinking and will after using the mind-reading pupil several times. But the side effects were severe pain in the head. Already classified as mitigated.
That¡¯s why. Yuan just opened his mind-reading pupil to see if Yan Xiang truly surrendered.
A flood of memories. Flooding into Yuan Fang's mind, he concentrated his energy, discarded those useless memories, and found the point he needed most.
That bit of memory clearly records Yan Xiang¡¯s determination to surrender to Yuan Fang.
"That's right, he really surrendered, not pretended to surrender.
As soon as his mind-reading eyes closed, Yuan Fang was freed from Yan Xiang's memory in an instant.
There was a burst of pain in my head, but the degree of pain was far less than the severe pain that my head was about to explode at the beginning.
"Shh"
After holding his forehead for a long time, Yuan Fang took a long breath and returned to normal.
"Very good, without further ado, go to Zhongli immediately and tell me to descend the bridge. If this happens, I will not only forgive your sin, but also reward you heavily." Yuan Fang waved his hand.
Yan Xiang's heart was filled with excitement. He never expected that Yuan Fang would trust him so much. He was deeply impressed by this magnanimity.
Moved and admired, Yan Xiang bowed three times and then left.
As soon as Yan Xiang walked away, Ji Ling said worriedly: "My lord, although this Yan Xiang once opposed Yuan Shu's provocation of emperor, he is Yuan Shu's confidant after all. My lord lets him go like this. If he escapes to Zhongli, he will help Qiao Rui." If we defend the city, Yuan Shu will come with reinforcements and attack us from the east and west. The situation will be unfavorable for our army. "
However, Yuan Fang smiled and said lightly: "I, Yuan Fang, have no doubts about the people he hires. Even if Yan Xiang cannot convince Qiao Rui, he will never break his promise. Just let him go."
Ji Ling was greatly surprised, but he couldn't figure out how his young master had the confidence to believe that Yan Xiang was sincerely surrendering.
The other generals such as Yan Liang and Xu Huang were also suspicious.
With everyone suspicious, Yan Xiang left the camp and went straight to Zhongli City a hundred miles away.
Two days later, news came from the soldiers and horses staying behind Zhongli. Yan Xiang really persuaded Qiao Rui, opened the city gate, and led 30,000 Huainan troops out of the city to surrender.
The surrender of Zhongli's garrison undoubtedly surprised Ji Ling and other generals. The generals were deeply impressed by Yuan Fang's ability to recognize people, and their admiration increased.
Thirty thousand Huainan troops surrendered, and Yuan Fang effortlessly destroyed about 70% of Yuan Shu's troops.??, it can be said to be a great victory.
Yuan Fang immediately ordered that 30,000 Huainan troops be transported to Xuzhou for reorganization, and at the same time, 60,000 troops were gathered, marched out from Dangtu, and fought all the way towards Shouchun.
¡¡
Shouchun City.
In the magnificent palace, Yuan Shu was playing freely with the concubines and enjoying themselves.
His precious son had sent back a battle report not long ago, claiming that he had successfully curbed Yuan Fangjun's offensive and that the eastern defense line was impregnable. Yuan Shu was asked not to worry.
Yuan Shu was convinced, so he just put down a hundred hearts and devoted himself wholeheartedly to enjoyment.
That evening, after a meal of wine and meat, Yuan Shu was ready to go to bed with Mei.
At this time, several lieutenants from the eastern front came anxiously to see them, holding bloody packages.
When Yuan Shu heard that the frontline generals had returned, he thought it was Yuan Yao who sent people back to report the victory, so before going to bed, he declared his presence.
"Your Majesty, our army fell into the trick of Yuan Fang's little thief and was attacked by the enemy in Dangtu. Our army was defeated and His Royal Highness was also killed by Yuan Fang~~"
The defeated generals who entered knelt down in front of the emperor, cried loudly, opened the bloody package, and presented it to Yuan Shu.
When Yuan Shu recognized that the bloody head was his son, his whole body suddenly froze on the couch.
After a moment of confusion, Yuan Shu suddenly jumped up, held up Yuan Yao's head, and cursed loudly: "Yuan Fang, you bitch, how dare you kill my beloved son, I will kill you, I want revenge. ~~" (To be continued)
