Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

March, Anyi.

The mist is hazy in the morning, although it is already spring, but the east of the river is also a little cool in the morning.The cold wind blew past, and the Wei soldiers guarding the city not only shuddered.

"Old Li, it's been almost two months, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"

The soldiers of the Wei army in Anyi, who had been guarding for nearly two months, were quite restless, talking about military affairs with each other.

The older soldier sighed and said, "Hey, I don't know either! It's no use asking me."

"The daily meals are getting less and less, and I don't know how long I can last." The young Wei Zu complained again.

Not only was Chen Tai unprepared for the big man's sudden attack on Hedong, Sun Li also did not expect it.Before the arrival of the Han army, Sun Li hastily hoarded some grain and grass. Fortunately, it was still winter and there were some grain and grass stored in various grain places.After a few days of tossing, Sun Li finally only raised food and grass for three or four months.

Now that they have held on for almost two months, more than half of the food reserves in the city have been digested. However, the Han army outside the city has not yet withdrawn, and they continue to build fortifications.Seeing this, Sun Li was quite worried, so he reduced the daily ration supply.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you want the military marquis and others to hear it, they will definitely reprimand you, and you may even eat a stick."

The young Wei Jun was about to mutter a few words, but he saw Han cavalrymen galloping in the open space outside the city.I saw Han cavalry waving the "Chen" banner captured in the Battle of Linfenyuan, a large number of Wei army flags, golden drums, and a head hanging high above the long spear. This scene almost alarmed everyone on the tower. soldiers of the Wei army.

Han Qi galloped to the bottom of the city tower holding the big banner of "Chen" and shouted: "People in the city listen carefully, your chief general, General Zhengbei and governor of Bingzhou, Chen Tai, has died in battle. This is his big banner. .The reinforcement Sizhou Inspector Guo Huai that you are relying on has already been defeated by the Han at Hengling Pass."

"As for the land of Hedong, cities such as Linfen, Pingyang, and Puban have all been occupied by my big man. Except for Anyi, all the cities of Hedong have belonged to the big man. My majesty has the virtue of living, and I can't bear to kill too much. I will tell you the truth, so that you will not be confused."

"Shoot the arrow!" Sun Li, who appeared out of nowhere, pointed at the Han cavalry outside the city, and shouted at the crowd: "This is just a deceitful act by the bandits, you can't believe it!"

Anyi County Magistrate Liu Lu stopped Sun Li and advised him, "Your Majesty, this man is just an envoy of the Han army. There is an old saying that the two armies do not kill the envoy when they are at war. If we kill him now, I am afraid it will be against the law."

"Etiquette?" Sun Li stared at Liu Lu and couldn't help sneering, "When did the army pay attention to etiquette? This is the strategy of the bandit army, don't you know?"

Liu Lu drooped his eyes, not daring to look directly at Sun Li, and said, "My lord, can killing this person prevent the Han army from attacking their hearts? Lu Su thinks it can't, this is a temporary solution but not a root cause."

Liu Lu, courtesy name Bozai, was a descendant of the Liu family, one of the three major gentry families in Hedong, and the county magistrate of Anyi.

"In your opinion, what should be done to cure the root cause?" Sun Li asked.

Liu Lu said neither humble nor overbearing: "If you are not a literati, how can you know the strategy of the army! But in my superficial opinion, if we want to cure the root cause, we need reinforcements from our army to arrive."

Sun Li heard Liu Lu's hidden dissatisfaction, glared at Liu Lu fiercely, and said, "Since Mr. Liu doesn't know the strategy in the army, why dare you block my order!"

"Come on, shoot the arrow!"

Hearing Sun Li's order, the soldiers of the Wei army looked at each other for a while, then raised their bows and arrows and shot outside, but the target was far away, and none of them hit the Han cavalry.Obviously, everyone didn't want to offend the Han army. If they shot this person as the Han army said, they would definitely be retaliated by the Han army after breaking the city.

"Bastard! Didn't you have enough to eat?"

Seeing that everyone was so perfunctory, Sun Li snatched the bow and arrow angrily, and shot out of the city.However, the Han rider holding the big 'Chen' banner had already been frightened away by the rain of arrows just now, how could it be Sun Li's turn to shoot.

"Hmph! Guard the city, if someone continues to come, shoot them away!"

"promise!"

Outside the city, on the mound of the Han army, Liu Chan looked at this scene and said with a smile: "Continue to order people to shout to persuade them to surrender, and order the crossbowmen to shoot the letter of surrender into the city."

"promise!"

……

It was night, and the cold moonlight shone on the land of Hedong. In a secluded house in the city, Liu Lu communicated with his confidants.

"Now Chen Bingzhou has died in battle, Guo Sizhou has been defeated, and the cities of Hedong have been returned to the Han Dynasty. However, Sun Li is still in the corner and resists. If we retreat with the heavenly soldiers, we will follow his stubborn resistance. After the city is broken, we will die and our family will perish , the only way to survive now is to surrender to the big man, and then you can get a chance to survive."

When the big Han was aggressive and Cao Wei was on the defensive, Yecheng had extremely strict control over the family members of Cao Wei's soldiers. In order to prevent those county guards from colluding with the big Han, all the family members of the local chiefs were sent to Yecheng without exception.That is to say, the family members of those high-level generals in the city and Sun Li, the governor of Hedong, are all in Yecheng, except for the family members of Liu Lu, the county magistrate at the county level, who are not in Yecheng.

That's why those generals and schools were not in a life-and-death crisis, so they were not willing to surrender.But Liu Lu is different. He is a native of Hedong, and his family is also in Hedong. Naturally, there is no need to be loyal to Cao Wei.

"Have you contacted the Han army?"

"Naturally, it is good to have a connection! Tonight at three o'clock, we will raise the fire on the north city tower as a sign, and we will open the city gate to meet the Han army. Your Majesty has an edict. If we return, we will each have a reward. You will not treat us badly. I don't know. What do you guys think?"

The people in Liu Lu's hands were just ordinary tribesmen or retainers, and they couldn't fight the Wei army head-on. Naturally, they took a clever strategy and opened the city gate to meet the Han army.

"What brother Liu said is true, but is there anyone who still has doubts?" The person who said this subconsciously held the ring-sword at his waist and secretly watched everyone's reactions.

"There is no objection, I am willing to follow Mr. Liu."

"it is good!"

At three o'clock, the north gate of Anyi was flickering with fire, the gate was wide open, and the Han army broke into the city.The shouts of killing in the city were loud, and the soldiers of Wei in the city were not dead.

In the government office, Sun Li, who was sleeping peacefully, was awakened by the attendant, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, something is not right! Liu Lu had an affair with the western bandits, opened the north gate, and let the bandits enter the city."

"What?" Sun Li's drowsiness was frightened away, and he asked, "How is the situation now?"

The attendant shook his head and said: "The outer city has fallen, and the inner city will also be destroyed. Anyi can't hold it anymore. I might as well surrender the Han army!"

Hearing this, Sun Li couldn't restrain the sadness in his heart, wept bitterly and said: "Li received the favor of Emperor Wu's promotion, the love of the former emperor, and the responsibility of guarding the land. If I return to the Han people now, what will I look like after I die? See you all the emperors of Wei!"

"Your Majesty?"

"You have served me for many years. If you enter the house after a while, I will give you wealth." Sun Li said with tears.

"No!" The servant replied.

After the attendants left, Sun Li walked up to the bronze mirror, looking at his old self in the mirror, feeling a sense of sadness welling up in his heart.

Feeling sorry for the late emperor Cao Rui, Cao Rui temporarily asked Cao Shuang to be alone, worried that Cao Shuang would not be able to assist the government, and appointed himself as the general commander Shi to assist Cao Shuang in governing affairs.Unexpectedly, Cao Shuang was dissatisfied with his persuasion, transferred himself away from his side, and changed himself to be the governor of Hedong, away from the center.

Now that the world is in chaos, I am sorry for the late emperor's task of assisting Cao Shuang, and I have not done a good job of guarding the land. How can I have the face to live in the world?
"Clang!"

Sun Li pulled out his saber, put the cold blade on his neck, closed his eyes, Sun Li pulled it hard, the sharp blade cut through the main artery, and countless hot blood gushed out.

With a plop, Sun Li fell to the ground.

The noise inside the room alarmed the attendants outside, and hurriedly opened the door, only to see that Sun Li was already lying on the ground, with a lot of blood pooled all over the place.

The attendant knelt down on the ground, weeping bitterly, he understood what the Fu Jun said about wealth.Suddenly, the attendant took out a dagger and stabbed it into the abdomen, and died at the side of the Patriarch he had followed for many years.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Chan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, arrived outside the house, looked at the two dead bodies inside the house, and said to the people beside him, "This is a righteous man, you must not be humiliated!"

After a pause, Liu Chan said: "Put these two people in a coffin and send them to Wei Jing, let the Wei people know the benevolence of my great man, and let the Wei people have a good time to bury the two of them."

"promise!"

For the staunchness of the ancients, Liu Chan once again had a deeper understanding.He also had a clearer understanding of Cao's three generations of Grace.

When Cao Wei destroyed Han, there were still military generals fighting to the death, so how could there be no Wei State?
The Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, and many of the Eastern Wu gentry went to die. How could there be no Cao Wei Guozhong?
For Liu Chan, these people who died bravely are worthy of his admiration and respect.Sending Sun Li's coffin to the territory of the state of Wei has the meaning of burying Sun Li generously, and it also has the thoughts of those timid Wei people in Weihe.

As for whether it will stimulate the fighting spirit of the Wei people, Liu Chan disagrees.The brave are naturally brave, and the timid are naturally timid. How can this little thing change.

Even if the fighting spirit of those Wei people was aroused, Liu Chan was not afraid.Up to now, the big Han has occupied half of the world, and the situation of the world is clear that the Han is strong and the Wei is weak.

Once the great Han conquers Shangdang or Luoyang, the unification of the world is just around the corner. In the face of the general trend of the world, all those who try to resist are like a mantis.People of insight will naturally know how to choose, and at this time, boarding the boat can still have the merit of being a dragon.

The general trend of the world is vast; those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish, that's all!
