Chapter 522: Execution of High-Ranking Officials! [Monthly Vote Requested]

"Hey, the governor of Bingzhou is here!"

Hearing the name of the high official, Cao Xing couldn't help but think of this guy's deeds when he served as the governor of Bingzhou.

After Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and captured the four northern states, he ordered his eldest son Yuan Tan to be in charge of Qingzhou, his second son Yuan Xi to be in charge of Youzhou, his nephew Gao Gan to be in charge of Bingzhou, and his third son Yuan Shang to stay with him to train him.

Yuan Shao disliked his eldest son Yuan Tan very much, so he specially adopted him to Yuan Ji, who had been chopped into dumpling fillings by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang. The euphemistic reason was that he wanted to give his eldest brother an heir, but in fact he deprived his eldest son of his inheritance rights.

Well, from now on, you will be your uncle's child, and you are not qualified to inherit my title and official position. Just be a general for your brother.

However, Yuan Tan refused to accept his fate. After Yuan Shao died, he proclaimed himself a chariot general and led his troops to compete with Yuan Shang for territory. The Yuan brothers fell into internal fighting.

During this period, Yuan Shang sent people to win over Gao Gan, who was in charge of Bingzhou, and asked him to send troops to attack his disobedient brother Yuan Tan. However, Gao Gan killed Yuan Shang's envoys and planned to stand on his own.

If the prince, general, Xiang Ning, is so kind, why should I keep working for you, the Yuan family, who are worthless?

It is said that a nephew is like an uncle. Gao Gan has always felt that he is as powerful as his uncle Yuan Shao. As for his cousins... Yuan Tan is mentally retarded, Yuan Xi is lacking, and Yuan Shang is childish. They are all mud that cannot be used to support the wall.

From now on, I will be the Lord of the North. For the sake of my cousins, I can barely grant a few titles to the three brothers for their enjoyment.

In order to gain the support of the court, after Yuan Tan surrendered to Cao Cao, Gao Gan also surrendered, but he did not leave Shangdang County and continued to be the governor of Bingzhou.

In terms of power, there was no change from the appointment of Bingzhou governor by Yuan Shao to the Bingzhou governor appointed by Cao Cao. Food, grass, troops and horses, etc., had to be prepared by themselves.

But Cao Cao controlled the emperor and represented the orthodoxy of the court.

After this surrender, Gao Gan, the illegal Bingzhou governor, became legal and qualified to dominate the world.

He recruited troops and recuperated in Shangdang for several years. He also secretly abducted many people from Jizhou and had certain political abilities.

When Cao Cao led his troops to pursue Yuan Shang, the small fire in Gao Gan's heart began to stir up.

He raised an army to rebel and sent a team of troops, planning to sneak into Yecheng and secretly take back Yecheng while Cao Cao was not at home.

Once Yecheng is obtained, Yuan Shao's old troops can be called upon to defect.

The Hebei area that took Cao Amo several years to pacify will suddenly become the territory of high-ranking officials.

However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. Before the high-ranking people arrived in Yecheng, they were noticed by Xun Yan, Xun Yu's eldest brother, who was in charge of security.

After a fight, the high-ranking men and horses were quietly killed by Xun Yanquan. Many people in Yecheng did not even know that this happened.

Cao Cao, who had returned with a great victory, was so angry that he heard that senior officials had rebelled. He sent Li Dianyin to lead an attack on Shangdang, but he could not attack Shangdang due to the natural obstacles in Huguan.

In desperation, Cao Cao had to personally lead his troops over Jingxing Pass, across the Jincheng Basin, and into Shangdang.

Gao Gan fled to Hanoi, hoping that Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fuluo would help his brother, but Yu Fuluo ignored him at all. In desperation, Gao Gan had to flee to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao.

However, as soon as he reached the halfway point, he was beheaded by Wang Yan, the captain of Shangluo, ending his life in which his heart was as high as the sky but his life was as thin as paper.

When Song Xian heard that the senior officials were coming, he took a walkie-talkie and asked the scout:

"What is the official position of a senior official now? You haven't become the governor of Bingzhou yet, right?"

Cao Xing:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

He wants to be the governor of Bingzhou. Do you believe that Zhang Wenyuan is coming from Jiuyuan with a big knife to chop high officials into pieces?

The scout replied honestly:

"We used a drone to see the flag, and it seemed to be the flag of General Pi. Today's senior officials have not received any military honors, so their official positions should not be high."

When Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were fighting for territory, the official positions of his subordinates were not very high. It was not until Cao Cao invited Emperor Xian to Xuchang to represent himself as Sikong and Yuan Shao as general that the official positions of Yuan's faction became higher.

Now that Yuan Shao himself is a white-bodied Kalami, there is no way he can appoint officials to his subordinates.

"General Fart, right? I have to make up a little phrase to make him angry... When I scolded Gao Lan, who was I cooperating with? It felt like a hearty victory, but I can't remember the details. ”

Cao Xing flipped through the memo on his phone and said:

"It was General Zilong who killed Gao Lan...I don't have General Zilong's marksmanship. You stir up Gao Lan's anger and you are responsible for extinguishing it. I will not go out of the city to fight with him."

Song Xian didn't have the ability to go out of the city to meet the enemy:

"We are all civilized people. We don't want to go out of the city. Reckless behavior is not advisable. Isn't it beautiful to just listen to a tune and drink coffee on the tower while scolding my nephew until he jumps off his feet?"

As a defender of the city, as long as we don't make mistakes and defend step by step, there is absolutely no problem for a small county like Longli County to last for two or three months.

As for two or three months later, Xun You had already led his troops out of Shexian County to sweep across Jizhou territory. Even if his nephew wanted to continue the attack, Yuan Shao would transfer him away.

Cao Xing felt that although this suggestion was a bit shameless, in terms of life-saving, it was quite good.

"You make up some risqué words to stimulate the high-ranking officials. The more he loses his mind, the easier it will be for us to defend him. I will first find his mid-level army to see if I can give him a cannon shot."

"Don't worry, if you don't make Gao Gan half angry to death, I will be his biological father from now on!"

Cao Xing: "..."

I won't suffer any loss if I work with you!

Cao Xing continued to be in charge of city defense, while Song Xian walked down to the city and gathered the grain recently stolen from the homes of the wealthy families in the city into the granary, supplying limited amounts of grain every day.

The collapsed and uninhabited houses in the city were demolished by the soldiers, and the wood such as door panels was used to burn firewood. The yellow mud walls were dismantled and reconstituted into mud, which could be used to put out fires. Large stones were transported to the city wall to be used as stone. .

In addition, arrows and other supplies must be replenished in order to be prepared for a protracted war.

However, according to Xun You's arrangement, once the Jizhou army besieged Longli County for more than three days, Dong Zhao or Huang Laohan would send troops to rescue them.

Yecheng supports Danyin County, and Old Huang can lead the cavalry to pass near Yecheng in a swaggering manner and come to Longlu County to eliminate the effective strength of the Jizhou Army.

If Yecheng tightens its defenses, then Dong Zhao will send troops to rescue him... As a first-class strategist, coupled with gasoline, explosives and other equipment, if Dong Gongren cannot capture Dangyin County in three days, he will basically say goodbye to the front-line troops from now on. .

Longlu County is very close to Yecheng. The next morning, the army of high-ranking officials came in force.

Cao Xing took all the scouts into the city, and deliberately blocked all the four city gates with stone tablets and other objects to prevent the families in the city from interfering with each other.

Longlu County is a small county, and the senior official did not pay attention to the defenders inside. He did not even set up a camp and directly ordered his men to prepare to attack the city.

On the city wall, Song Xian watched the Jizhou troops carrying various siege equipment. He set up a large loudspeaker, checked the power of the outdoor power supply, tried the loudspeaker again, and then shouted loudly into the distance:

"High cadre, if you don't withdraw your troops, I will tell you about your affair with Mrs. Yuan!!!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. This voice not only made the defenders on the city wall gossip, but also the attacking troops stood up sluggishly. Many people ran forward while turning their heads to look at the senior officers in the middle army position. .

The soldiers around Gao Gan also turned their faces, especially his two lieutenants, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, who unconsciously took two steps back, feeling that they had eaten a huge melon.

Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew, and Mrs. Yuan is his aunt... Could this be the legendary aunt's affair?

Gee, it feels like a big melon!

Gao Gan was so angry that his face turned purple, and he pulled out his sword with a clang:

"This man actually insulted me so much that he captured Longlu County and cut out his tongue!"

However, he did not have a trumpet, and his voice was so light that only people nearby could hear it clearly. A little further away, you could only see the high official waving his sword and baring his teeth and claws.

Song Xian on the city wall smiled:

"Look, I just told a few truths, but I'm still in a hurry. Do you and your aunt dare to do it?"

"The Gao family in Yanzhou is an aristocratic family. You have been promoted as a filial and honest person long ago. You could have served in the court, but you followed Yuan Shao all the way. On the surface, it is for your uncle, but in fact, you are thinking about your aunt."

"I heard that Yuan Benchu ​​originally wanted to entrust you with an important task at Jieqiao this time, but as soon as you heard that Ye City was dangerous, you took the initiative to ask Ying to defend the city... Do you want to secretly have a private meeting with your aunt while Yuan Shao is away?"

As soon as Song Xian said these true and false words, the Jizhou army under the city obviously began to whisper among themselves.

Obviously, everyone also felt that it was unusual for a senior cadre to suddenly return from the front line.

Gao Gan was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and cursed angrily at the city wall. Cao Xing found his position with a telescope, first raised his thumbs up to compare the distance, and said to Song Xian:

"Keep going, don't stop, the more he breaks the defense, the better."

It's still a bit far away now. When the senior officials get closer, Cao Xing can shoot him.

"I heard that you said your aunt's legs were very white after drinking one time. Is this true?"

The adjutant on the side asked softly:

"General, is this really happening?"

"What the hell, I made this up right now... Be careful, don't just listen to stories and let people touch you."

Song Xian continued to arrange things, such as the aunt changing clothes for her nephew and her heart pounding, and the senior officer toasting and seducing his aunt. Anyway, there were all kinds of ethical jokes that made people blush and made the senior officer vomit blood.

He cursed loudly at the city wall, but every time he finished cursing, Song Xian deliberately put his hands to his ears and asked in a desperate tone:

"What are you talking about? I can't hear you. Your voice is so low. Are you feeling guilty?"

Gao Gan was so angry that he lost his mind. He drove his horse forward regardless, preparing to get closer and scold the turtle grandson on the city wall!

Song Xian turned his face and asked Cao Xing:

"Is it okay?"

Just as Cao Xing was about to answer, a strange voice suddenly came from the intercom:

"Captain Cao, I am Jujun, a member of the Shangdang army, and I have come to assist on the orders of Prefect Xun. Our scouts reported that the Jizhou army has arrived at the city. How is the battle situation?"

Jujun?

Isn't this Captain Shesheng who died in battle when Emperor Xian returned to the east?

In 196, when Emperor Xian returned to the east, Li Jue and Guo Si led his army to pursue him. Jujun, the captain of the Shooting School, fought bravely to kill the enemy and sacrificed his life for the country. He was only 25 years old. After establishing the capital in Xuchang, Emperor Xian felt grateful for Jujun's loyalty and granted him the title of posthumous title. He is the prefect of Hongnong.

Cao Xing didn't expect that it was this talented person who came, holding a walkie-talkie and saying:

"Hello Juzhang, I am Cao Xing. Jizhou soldiers and horses have just arrived, and now they are about to be scolded by Song Xian."

Jujun:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

How powerful is Colonel Song's mouth?

Cao Xing thought for a while and said:

"You approach the county town slowly first. If I can kill the senior officials with one shot later, you can lead your troops to pursue me."

Pursuit?

Jujun said:

"I only brought two thousand troops. How many people are there in the Jizhou Army?"

"Not many, only 20,000."

Only...are you going to let these two thousand of me chase 20,000 people?

Ju Jun couldn't keep up with Cao Xing's thoughts, but at this moment he was still some distance away from Longli County, and planned to contact Cao Xing after reaching the city.

On the city wall, Song Xian was still speaking freely, saying things like untying his aunt's bellyband, Gao Gan drooling, and all kinds of dirty talk.

It just so happened that this kind of ethical stalk was particularly popular with the rough people, so the soldiers under the city had no time to attack the city, and just wanted to eat melons and watch the show.

Fortunately, Gao Gan is young now. If he was in his forties or fifties, he would probably have been so excited that he had a cerebral thrombosis.

Finally, as Gao Gan moved forward, Cao Xing finally had the confidence to hit the target.

He said to Song Xian:

"Start talking about the punishment from heaven. I'll give him a shot when he gets excited."

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

Song Xian cleared his throat and said earnestly:

"Gao Gan, you are still young. Don't indulge in your aunt's arms. This behavior is despised by the world, and even the heavens can't stand it... If you insist on being wrong, you will be punished by heaven sooner or later!"

He persuaded for a long time and mentioned the punishment from heaven several times. When Cao Xing felt that the time was right, he lit a cigarette and pointed the cigarette butt at the fuse on the cannon.

"Bang!"

The shell was fired, drawing a perfect parabola in the air, landing steadily on Gao Gan's head, and then suddenly exploded.

This great man who served as the governor of Bingzhou for seven years in the original book became the first person to be executed by cannon in the Three Kingdoms world.

At the moment of the cannon, Song Xian suddenly raised his voice and shouted:

"Heaven's punishment is coming, brothers, run!"

The soldiers who were attacking the city stared blankly at Gao Gan who was blown to pieces, then looked up at the sky, immediately threw away the siege equipment in their hands, and ran towards Yecheng.

Song Xian picked up the walkie-talkie and gave Ju Jun an order to attack:

"The Jizhou army is completely in chaos, hurry up and chase them, try to keep the food and grass, hurry up!"

Ju Jun put down the walkie-talkie half-doubtingly and asked his scout:

"Are the Jizhou soldiers really fleeing?"

"Yes, the drone shows that the scene over there is extremely chaotic!"

Ju Jun immediately gave the order to pursue:

"Brothers, the opportunity to make achievements has come, chase at full speed!"

After speaking, he raised his weapon, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and rode forward to chase.

The soldiers under his command also ran forward one by one with all their strength. The Three Kingdoms world rarely staged a spectacle of two thousand people chasing and killing twenty thousand people.

Cao Xing asked his men to quickly open the city gate and lead the army to chase out.

But he did not do it to kill the enemy, but to transport all the siege equipment brought by Gao Gan into the city and attack Yecheng again. Maybe he would need it again.

Song Xian was still muttering to himself:

"You say, after these soldiers go back and tell me about the things I made up, will Yuan Shao's wife hang herself directly?"

Now that Gao Gan is dead, there is no way to confront him. Song Xian's words are convincing. With Yuan Shao's narrow-mindedness, even if his wife doesn't commit suicide, she will be forced to commit suicide.

In short, don't even think about living!

Cao Xing said:

"When Yuan Shao went against the entire court, the fate of his family was already doomed. Compared to being sent to the Jiaofangsi, don't you think that committing suicide is also a kind of dignity?"

"Damn, when you said that, the guilt in my heart disappeared all of a sudden, and I felt a little proud instead."

"Don't play this kind of ethical jokes in the future, be careful that others will learn it and throw it at you."

Song Xian shrugged:

"I am an orphan, so I just treat you as a family member."

Cao Xing: "..."

You bastard, do you believe that I will use the walkie-talkie to give you a slap?

The two collected various baggage and equipment, captured a few prisoners and asked about the situation. When they learned that the deputy generals of this battle were the brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, they regretted it.

If I had known that they were there, I would have made up a story together.

For example, "Lu Kuang Lu Kuang, loves Yuan Shang", "Lu Xiang Lu Xiang, is a bunny man"!

However, killing Gao Gan this time was also a great achievement. Yuan Shao had fewer and fewer talents to use. When he received the battle report, he wondered if Yan Liang and Wen Chou would be sent to guard Yecheng.

At that time, I had to make up some jingles in advance to help Huang Laohan challenge the enemy.

The two transported various supplies to the city, and then went to pick up Ju Jun who had won a great victory after chasing him thirty miles away. The battle finally came to an end.

In front of the statue in the scenic area, Li Yu watched the whole battle and felt that Song Xian was a talent.

This guy's mouth is really poisonous, and he just attracted hatred.

"Mom, he won't be put in the prison of tongue-pulling after his death, right?"

The queen said:

"Definitely not, he has a lot of merits."

Although his mouth is quite bad, this mouth has eliminated two generals of Yuan Shao, and many soldiers, and benefited countless people, so he has accumulated a lot of merits... In the future, if you encounter a general who retreats to the city, send Song Xian over.

After leaving the scenic area, Li Yu just returned to the B&B and met Li Shimin.

This guy took Xuanzang and sat in the pavilion. He was talking about something. Even Dao Ge was listening.

"What are you talking about?"

Li Yu walked into the pavilion, tasted the grapes on the table, and threw a piece of beef jerky to Dao Ge to play with.

Li Shimin said with a smile:

"Sir, I want to cooperate with Li Shimin from Journey to the West. I wonder if you agree."

Cooperation?

Li Yu asked curiously:

"How do you plan to cooperate?"

Li Shimin rubbed his hands and whispered:

"I plan to provide equipment and manpower, and let Li Shimin over there help me produce bagged salt in Yuncheng Salt Lake."

Good guy, is this a free-for-all?

Xuanzang peeled lychees and asked:

"Brother's idea is good, but where will the equipment come from? Where can I find salt-making manpower?"

The idea is good, but you have no manpower and no equipment, how can Li Shimin over there cooperate?

Li Shimin rubbed his hands and said slyly:

"I plan to ask my brother to help transfer a few salt factory workers over. In exchange, I can provide other talents to the Three Kingdoms world in the future... As for equipment, sir, can I use 100 kilograms of gold to exchange for a set of salt-making equipment?"

Li Yu became interested:

"Where did you find the gold?"

Little Shimin scratched his head embarrassedly:

"Two days ago, Wang Bodang and Xiong Kuohai went to a village near Jinyang to hold a grievance meeting. They happened to meet the Jinyang prefect secretly sending the looted gold and silver to Yang Su. The two accidentally went back to their old business and won hundreds of kilograms of gold..."
