MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 1257 The Change of Yetai
Chapter 1257 Yetai Change
In fact, Sima Yi did not expect that the stone cannon that he had carefully imitated was used in actual combat for the first time, not on thieves.
Instead, it was used on Wei himself.
And it was also the founding capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, Yecheng.
Just a few stone bullets were fired, either falling on the city wall, inside the city, or outside the city.
But every one of them fell from the sky like a thunderbolt, and the sound shook the world.
Where it landed, it was dusty and a big hole was smashed out.
Even if it is as thick as the city wall of Yecheng, it may not be able to stand for a long time under the impact of such powerful stone cannons.
Looking at the smoke and dust in front of him, and hearing the sound of thunder in the air, Sima Yi had already seen the scene of the stone cannon being fired in the school grounds in Luoyang.
At this time, I still can't help but sigh:
"No wonder the thieves attack the city like chopping bamboo, and there is no one who can't break it. Once this kind of artifact is born, there is no such thing as a strong city in the world? I'm afraid it will be like paper."
"Those who are not afraid of this thing today, may be left with the natural danger of mountains and rivers."
Thinking back in the past, Feng Zoubing invaded Anding, playing tricks on the defenders of Anding like headless chickens.
This thing has taken a lot of credit.
As for Cao Zidan (that is, Cao Zhen), he was completely defeated in front of Feng Thief's new cavalry army.
Finally, he vomited blood and died of depression.
Thinking of this, Sima Yi couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Whisper in a voice that only you can hear:
"Xiahou Zhongquan (that is, Xiahouba) lost unjustly!"
The first emperor may have been too harsh on Xiahou Zhongquan.
Because not to mention Xiahou Zhongquan who was just entering the battle, even if he was not on guard, he would suffer a big loss if he was caught off guard.
Feng Zei brought so many good things from his own sect, one can imagine how mysterious the sect behind him is.
Rao, who is as determined as Sima Yi, can't help being confused at this moment:
The sect behind Feng Mingwen is so supportive of Han, is it true that the destiny is still in Yan Han?
Is it possible to take what he said seriously: Although the Han Dynasty is an old state, its life is restored?
Could it be that he is really acting against the sky, and it is hard to violate God's will?
While Sima Yi was full of thoughts, thinking about the destiny, Huan Fan at the top of the city had already supported the parapet with both hands, and then barely supported himself.
But seeing the envoy Huan at this time, his eyes were dull, his eyes were dull, his mouth was opened wide, and he looked like he had lost his soul.
If you observe carefully, you can also see that Huan Shijun's lower robe is swaying in a range visible to the naked eye.
Obviously, there is a high probability that there are two battles in the lower robe.
Celebrities of the Wei Dynasty, what they pay attention to is to act elegantly and far away, profound and open-minded.
What he pursues is the kung fu of nourishing Qi without changing his face when Mount Tai collapses in front of his eyes.
Why was Xia Houxuan promoted as the number one metaphysics celebrity?
In addition to being one of the founders of the metaphysics of the Wei Dynasty, it is also because of his appearance and demeanor that all celebrities are incomparable.
The appearance is easy to understand. It is said that "it is as solemn as entering a gallery temple. People respect themselves instead of cultivating respect."
said again: "If you enter the ancestral temple, you can read aloud but see the ritual instruments."
Standing side by side with Li Feng, who is also a celebrity, Xiahou Taichu was "as bright as the sun and the moon in his arms", while Li Anguo (that is, Li Feng) was "decadent like a jade mountain about to collapse."
As for Yizhi, it is even more interesting to talk about.
It is rumored that Xia Houxuan was leaning on a pillar to write. It was raining heavily at that time, and suddenly a thunderbolt came down, breaking the pillar.
Even Xia Houxuan's clothes were burnt, but his expression remained unchanged, and so did his books.
The surrounding guests and entourage were unable to stand still.
Its appearance is like this, few people in the world can match it.
As the governor of Jizhou, Huan Shijun, although he is also a celebrity, but his mind is mostly used to compete with others. It seems that there is still a long way to go in this manner.
As for the soldiers around Huan Fan, many of them had no fighting spirit.
At this time, I saw the siege equipment owned by Sima Taifu again, and its power was almost the same as that of the thunder coming to the world.
Most of the people were already pale, and some of the new recruits who had never experienced battle had their crotches wet.
Someone couldn't hold the weapon again, and fell to the ground with a "clang".
The sound of the weapon falling seemed to have awakened Huan Fan, allowing him to recover from the frightened state.
Looking at the soldiers around, there are many ugly faces, and almost everyone has a look of fear.
Huan Fan couldn't help but secretly lamented that his heart had fallen to the bottom.
He knew that this was the result of almost all the soldiers in Hebei being withdrawn when the first emperor was there.
The soldiers defending the city are basically recruited and pieced together in the past two or three years, and most of them have never been in battle.
Not to mention facing the terrifying siege equipment that is like thunder coming to the world.
Fortunately, the stone cannons under the city did not last forever.
It turned out that Sima Yi sent someone over again and shouted to the top of the city:
"Emissary Huan, have you seen clearly? According to what you have seen, Yecheng may be able to withstand the power of stone cannons?"
If it is said that Huan Fan had some flukes before, at this time, his face is ashen.
"All the officers and soldiers in the city, you have also seen that the stone cannons are powerful, and the city is broken like a broken barrow, but it is just a short time!"
"It's just that the Taifu is kind-hearted, and he doesn't want to fight with his colleagues, so as not to hurt the relatives and the others!"
"If all the generals and soldiers can appreciate Tai Fu's heart of boxing, please don't make mistakes!"
"Otherwise, Tai Fu Huairen, Shi Pao has no eyes and no righteousness!"
As soon as these words came out, even though Huan Fan was still standing at the top of the city, the defenders couldn't stop commotion.
Even the cronies around looked at Huan Fan.
But seeing that Huan Fan was staring at the stone cannon below the city, he seemed to be in a trance again and didn't speak.
Stone cannon?
Stone Cannon!
Where have you heard this name?
Isn’t this the legendary siege weapon of the thief?
How could Sima Yi have such a thing?
Could it be that Sima Yi really colluded with the Xi thief?
Or did he already drop the Sithieves?
No no no!
A gleam finally flashed in Huan Fan's heart, and something that he had almost forgotten flashed through his mind.
"No, impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Thinking of this matter, Huan Fan subconsciously wanted to deny it, and even blurted out what was in his heart.
"Emissary?"
As Huan Fan's subordinate, Si Fan was anxious when he heard Huan Fan's words. He didn't care about the difference, so he hurried forward and reminded in a low voice:
"Emissary?"
Emissary Huan, even if you don't want to, you still have to see the current situation.
The city is full of defenders, if this continues, I am afraid they will surrender before fighting.
Even if you can hold on for a while, but tonight, I don’t know how many people will run away...
well!
After being reminded by Si Fan, Huan Fan came back to his senses and looked at Si Fan: "What's the matter?"
Si Fan: …
After thinking for a while, Si Fan opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything, he just gestured around with his eyes.
Huan Fan knew what Si Fan wanted to say without even looking.
Huan Fan's expression was extremely gloomy, he forced a bitter smile at Si Fan, then shook his head.
Sifan didn't understand what he meant.
I don't know what envoy Huan wants to express.
Unexpectedly, Huan Fan suddenly nodded to Si Fan again, and finally said:
"General Si, I know what you mean."
Si Fan once again: …
At the same time, I was a little flustered, what on earth was Ambassador Huan going to say?
But seeing Huan Fan adjusted his clothes, he turned around and said to the surrounding soldiers:
"I am deeply favored by the country. Even if I know that I can't keep it, I can't give up lightly. However, I am also the parent of Jizhou officials. If I know that I can't keep it, but force the people into the flames of war, I am not worthy of being a parent."
"So I only ask you gentlemen to defend the city for three days. After three days, I will be doing my best. You can go or stay..."
The words were not finished, but Huan Fan couldn't go on anymore. He bowed his hands deeply to the soldiers, and then turned around and went down the wall.
All the officers and men had already expressed their intention to surrender, but at this moment, seeing Ambassador Huan's attitude, some people hesitated.
Yes, Yecheng is the capital of the Great Wei Kingdom. If they open the city and surrender like this, how can they be worthy of the trust of the court?
Not to mention the Taifu under the city, that is also the Taifu of Great Wei.
Even if they were demoted, how would the Tai Tuo think of them?
Seeing that the soldiers fell silent, Si Fan laughed instead:
"What are you worried about, gentlemen? How difficult is it to defend the city for three days?"
"We can pass the words of Huan Shijun just now to the Taifu secretly. Since the Taifu has a kind heart, why not wait another three days?"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words.
Then someone asked with some concern:
"Is this really feasible?"
"I'll know if it's feasible until I try it. Anyway, Mr. Huan only needs us to guard it for three days."
Anyway, there is no requirement how to do it, right?
As Huan Shijun's most trusted subordinate, Si Fan felt that at this time, he should take the initiative to share his boss' worries.
Explain to everyone what Huan envoy Jun is difficult to say:
"What if the Grand Tutor agrees? Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"
It can not only save the face of Huan Shijun, but also not hurt the harmony of the Taifu. At the same time, he waits for others without having to face such terrifying weapons.
So it should kill three birds with one stone?
After hearing what Si Fan said, everyone stopped talking.
Yeah, anyway, try it, and you won’t die.
But if you don't try, you may really die.
Then why not give it a try?
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Si Fan knew that most of them were moved, so he said again:
"What do you guys think about this matter? If you think it's okay, it's better to inform the Taifu as soon as possible, so as to avoid accidental injury."
After a while of silence, someone finally answered:
"Teacher is about to attack the city, and it is indeed impossible to delay."
…
At night, Si Fan came to the governor's residence again.
This time, he came quietly, deliberately avoiding everyone.
Huan Fan sat alone in front of the desk and turned away everyone before meeting Si Fan.
After Si Fan came in, he saw the flickering of the candle, intertwined light and dark, flickering, and it was impossible to see the expression on Envoy Huan's face clearly.
Only a faint voice came into my ears:
"How's it going?"
Si Fan didn't try to find out what Huan Fan's face was like, but just bowed his head and replied respectfully:
"Returning to the envoy, the Taifu has already agreed, you can wait for another three days."
"I mean, what does the lieutenant think about this?"
"The generals and soldiers in the army all say that the envoy loves the soldiers and officials, and is grateful for the envoy's great kindness."
Hearing this, Huan Fan's tone finally fluctuated a bit, but when he heard him "chuck", he let out a disdainful sneer from his nose.
You don't need to go into battle to die, they will naturally say so.
But if it’s the other way around, you might be “willing to go your own way”.
Looking at the performance of the people at the top of the city today, if you really want to force them to defend the city, I'm afraid I will turn a blind eye to sleep.
The great general in Xuchang has contributed a lot to the fact that people's hearts have turned so far away!
Assisting the government and supervising the country as a clan member, the emperor and the empress dowager are all in the hands. It has only been a few years, why has it become like this?
Besides being stupid like a pig, Huan Fan really can't think of any other reasons to explain it.
After a long silence, Si Fan only felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more depressed, and then he heard Huan Fan speak again:
"General Si?"
Si Fan quickly responded, "The last general is here."
"Come forward."
Si Fan stepped forward a few more steps, stopped before the table, and stood with hands down.
"How have I treated you these two years?"
Si Fan replied without hesitation:
"The villain is fortunate to be supported by the envoy, and his kindness is like reborn parents."
"That's very good." Huan Fan stared at Si Fan, and continued to ask slowly, "I just don't know if I can trust you."
"The envoy has an order, even if he goes through fire and water, he will die without saying a word!"
Hearing this, Huan Fan didn't have any fluctuations on his face, he just sighed:
"If all the generals in Yecheng are as loyal as you, why have I come here?"
Si Fan might as well answer this question.
Fortunately, Huan Fanben didn't mean to tell him more, and asked:
"I asked you to gather your cronies, but have you done it?"
"Don't worry, I have summoned more than a hundred people to obey orders outside the mansion, and they are all people who are willing to die."
"good."
Huan Fan nodded and finally stood up.
The light from the candle finally illuminated his face.
But seeing Huan Fan's expression at this time, it was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.
How can there be the gaffe and downcast appearance in the daytime?
"Come with me."
In the courtyard of the governor's mansion, the members of the Huan family had gathered a long time ago, and everyone was fighting with open flames.
Two groups of people gathered together, a total of nearly 300 people, followed closely behind Huan Fan, heading northwest.
Since Cao Cao founded the country in Yecheng and expanded Yecheng to the north of Zhangshui River, Beicheng has become the most important area of Yecheng.
The reason is very simple, because the center of Beicheng is the palace area at the beginning of the founding of Wei State.
To the east of the palace is Qili and the Yamen Office, the aristocratic area.
To the west of the palace, it is designated as the Forbidden Garden Tongque Garden, also known as Tongjue Garden.
Tongque Garden is not only a garden, but also an important activity place for Jian'an literati.
The seven sons of Jian'an created the style of writing in Jian'an, and this is the place to witness.
Of course, after Cao Zijian died of illness, it means that the style of writing in Jian'an is a thing of the past.
In today's world, Feng is the pioneer of the new generation of writing style.
Tongque Garden, the witness of Jian’an’s style of writing, has three tall terraces. From south to north, there are Jinhu Terrace, Tongque Terrace, and Bingjing Terrace.
Among them, the most famous one is Tongque Terrace.
After Cao Cao's death, most of the wives and concubines who survived Cao Cao's house dancers were raised in Tongque Terrace, and they were ordered to perform dancers on the first and fifteenth day of each month to sacrifice to the spiritual throne.
Perhaps because of this, Cao Shuang knew that the music in Tongque Terrace was excellent, or rather professional.
So he chose Cao Rui to leave behind dozens of talented people, and sent them here to let them learn martial arts for his own enjoyment.
Huan Fan's trip went all the way to the northwest, and the goal was Tongqueyuan.
During the day, Huan Fan had already transferred most of the guards from Yecheng Palace and Tongque Garden in the name of helping to defend the city.
The gatekeeper of Tongque Garden saw Huan Fan leading hundreds of people approaching aggressively, and stepped forward tremblingly:
"Emissary Huan, why are you here late at night?"
"The matter is urgent!" Huan Fan said at the beginning, "The rebellious army is powerful, Yecheng has few soldiers, and the city is in danger."
"Fan would like to ask the royal concubines to move to another place for protection."
Tongque Terrace was built on the northwestern wall of the North City. If someone from outside attacked the city from there, the people living inside would be really dangerous.
But who are the people besieging the city outside now?
The gatekeeper was taken aback when he heard what Huan Fan said, and subconsciously said:
"No way? Taifu..."
Even if the Grand Tutor attacked the city, how could he allow the rebels to enter the Royal Forbidden Garden?
Just as soon as he said the word Taifu, he immediately felt something was wrong.
Looking up at Huan Fan, but seeing the fierce look in Huan Fan's eyes, the gatekeeper's heart skipped a beat again.
Huan Fan turned his head to look at Buqu Jiading beside him.
Someone inside raised fire and shouted:
"Emissary Huan will still bully you? If you don't get out of the way quickly and delay the big event, can you afford it?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and forcibly pushed the gatekeeper away.
The gatekeeper's face changed, as if he didn't expect the opponent to attack directly.
Unprepared for a moment, his body was pushed down, like a rolling gourd, rolling on the ground.
There was only a "boom", and I don't know if it hit somewhere, and then there was another "ouch" in pain.
Then there was no movement for a long time, and it seemed that he passed out.
It was the servant, who still stretched out his hand as if pushing someone, and stood there for a long time without reacting:
My strength, when did it get so big?
Although I used a little force with my hands, it wouldn't make me faint all of a sudden, right?
Huan Fan didn’t have time to care about the gatekeepers, so he took the lead and went directly through the gate, shouting:
"Those who dare to stop me will be killed without mercy!"
How can the people guarding Tongque Wan stop Huan Fan?
Not to mention they dare not block.
It was Si Fan, who knew where Huan Fan was going after seeing Huan Fan go straight into the Forbidden Garden, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
But now, no matter how much he plots and complains, he can't turn back.
Even if he didn't follow him in, don't say he couldn't explain it clearly in the future, even now, Huan Fan might not be able to forgive himself.
Immediately, he became ruthless and stomped his feet, so he had no choice but to follow in.
The soldiers below saw that Si Fan followed Huan Fan in, so naturally they also rushed in.
Huan Fan led the people, broke into the garden, and ran straight towards Tongque Terrace without paying attention.
Grabbing a small yellow door in front of the stage gate, he asked sharply:
"Where are the talented people from the late emperor sent by the general?"
The little yellow door didn't dare to hide it, so he had to point the way.
"Lead the way!"
With Xiao Huangmen leading the way, Huan Fan soon came to a palace.
"Search! Bring everyone to the front of the hall, don't miss a single person!"
Huan Fan ordered sharply.
At this time, all those who followed in knew that there was no turning back.
Immediately, he searched the entire palace like a wolf like a tiger.
For a while, there were a lot of exclamations in the palace, interspersed with reprimands, or begging for mercy, and so on.
It was already night, and most of these talents were already asleep.
Many people were forcibly pulled up from their couches.
Looking around, almost all the women are naked, half exposed and half covered, but the jade body is looming, and the gauze clothes are floating.
These rude soldiers have never seen such a scene, and they swallowed a lot of saliva.
In the process of pushing and shoving, it is inevitable to use hands up and down, taking advantage of a lot.
However, envoy Huan is present, and they dare not be too presumptuous.
Just looking at the green light in their eyes, I think that if Huan Fan gave an order, he might turn into a wolf.
Time is running out, and it is naturally impossible for Huan Fan to plunder at this time.
But seeing him standing in front of these talents, he asked Si Fan:
"Have you counted them? How many people are there?"
"Mr. Hui, there are a total of 153 people in the hall." Si Fan pointed to his eyes, "Except for the palace man Huangmen, the remaining fifty-seven people are all talented people from the previous emperor."
No more, no less, just the right number of people.
Huan Fan looked at these talents and said:
"You are all talented people left by the late emperor. You should treat them with courtesy, but the matter is urgent, so I have to follow the ear of the authority."
"Nowadays there is a rebellious army attacking the city outside the city, and the city is about to break down. In order to prevent you from being polluted by the rebellious army and humiliating the late emperor, I can only ask you to go to see the late emperor first."
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and saluted.
Then he got up again and gestured to his side.
But seeing someone holding Bai Ling poisoned wine to these talented people.
At this time, Huan Fan was actually able to prepare these things. It can be seen that he had planned for a long time.
