Chapter 886 Yuan Shao's Death

In the early morning, there was morning fog on the sea, the morning sun rose, and the rays of rays penetrated the fog, making it hazy and beautiful. Seagulls screamed and danced, welcoming people returning from fishing in the dark.

Because of its proximity to the sea, a morning market has naturally formed next to the civil pier on the seaside. All seafood is sold here, and there are also some other vegetables, fruits, etc., which are relatively abundant. The main customers are city people. Many people do not have land, but they are well paid and willing to eat and drink.

Of course, there are also factories on the coast that specialize in purchasing freshly caught seafood, freezing it, and transporting it to other inland areas. And there are ice makers at the stations along the way, who specialize in adding ice to the transported seafood to keep it fresh.

There are also fishing grounds that specialize in raising seafood. After all, you can’t always catch fish, so having a fixed harvest is naturally very important.

On such an ordinary morning, suddenly, a low and desolate horn sound came, breaking the hustle and bustle of the morning. People on the beach subconsciously looked at the place where the horn came from. It was a lighthouse standing in the sea and a watchtower, stationed by navy soldiers.

As people looked away, they also saw two small dots that looked like warships farther away on the seashore. Immediately afterwards, there was another sound of gold ringing, and soon we saw naval officers wearing armor and standing around the military dock. At the same time, a fast horse flew out and ran straight to the city.

The knight on the horse shouted: "The navy warriors who went to sea to find immortal species are back! The navy warriors who went to sea to find immortal species are back!"

Listening to the knight's shouting, people suddenly remembered this important event. Of course, they are not to blame. More than two thousand people are sent out every one or two years. This has lasted for nine years, and five fleets have been sent out, but no news has ever been heard.

Although every time the fleet goes to sea, the general will personally come to preside over the ceremony, but there has been no result for so many years, and people have subconsciously ignored it. Only when General Wang comes back to preside over the ceremony and send the navy officers off to sea, will people become lively and lively.

But today, someone finally came back.

Some people have already approached the blocked military dock, with tears in their eyes, eager to see their children soon...

The warship was already crowded with people. They were all rough-skinned, dark-skinned, and had green heads. They grinned and looked at the dock in the distance and the familiar green mountains.

"I'm finally back..."

"Yes, he is eight years old..."

"The Tuhe River has undergone tremendous changes, which I don't even recognize now..."

"I don't know if the general can be an emperor..."

After wandering outside for a long time, fighting against nature, they all missed home. But when they really return to their homeland, their hearts feel empty and timid about being close to their hometown.

They had laughed and cursed before, but now all that is left is the complicated nostalgia...

Zhending is 1,500 miles away from Tuhe. Wang Yan only saw Zhending on the evening of the seventh day.

Without stopping, or even taking a sip of water, he went directly to the isolated military camp. I saw that they had slowed down a lot, and there were only less than 768 people left in the team.

Wang Yan's eyes swept over everyone's face, and he nodded heavily: "You have wandered all the way, risking your life to fight against the waves, and found the immortal seed. You have done a great job..."

He said a lot of words, mainly to affirm the historical achievements of these people, give them corresponding honors, and at the same time appease these people's emotions and let these soldiers know that they were valued.

Everyone will be happy if we have a lively drink together and make arrangements later to prevent these warriors from having to pay in vain.

While drinking with these soldiers and listening to their chatter, Wang Yan also learned the whole story.

Not too surprising, just a bunch of thrills. If not, how come two-thirds of the people died. But when these people said it, there was no sadness at all. People always laugh and say dangerous, sad things, which is a sad thing in itself.

The main reason is that people in this era are used to seeing death, and they have also seen many ways to die. Although they are all brothers Paoze who have died, what can they do? No matter how sad and sad, there must be an end, there must be an end. You can't cry whenever you mention it. You have to live your life and you have to look forward.

Their route was along the continental shelf, across the Pacific, and finally arrived in North America. This was not slow. Although they later reached the North Pole in the Bering Strait area, they found something was wrong and adjusted back in time, along the They began to explore the American continent, and finally found the seeds that Wang Yan drew pictures and wrote descriptions of.

After that, it went all the way from North America to South America, circled around the Big Island, and finally came back along the land from the East China Sea, which was considered a circle around the Pacific Ocean. For the sake of safety, we did not just find a place to land, but went all the way to the Bohai Sea and returned to Tuhe, and then we landed. They even waited outside all night and came in the next morning.

There were no other fleets along the way, and a large number of natives were killed in the process. They also admitted their mistakes to Wang Yan, saying that they really couldn't hold it in and had committed adultery. They also said that they really had no supplies and did a lot of looting and massacres. thing.

Soldiers who dare to admit their mistakes are of course good soldiers.

Besides, they were all men, and the journey was quite dangerous and boring. The number of people around them decreased one by one, and they all fell ill to varying degrees. These people had no one to rely on, and their mental states were all very unstable. They were working outside, so Wang Yan couldn't care so much. It was just verbal criticism and education, and he personally gave them a political lesson and it was over.

Although Wang Yan was not extreme, he was still a nationalist, and he had to add the prefixes of adjectives such as left-wing, hawkish, and radical. This was his position that he had never changed after thousands of years.

Although he was just as ruthless when killing his own people...

The second team took more than eight years, which was a normal time. Their boat speed was very slow, and they also had to explore the land, and they were also purposefully looking for crops, so they naturally slowed down.

In any case, the goal was achieved, and Wang Yan was very relieved.

He stayed in Tuhe for another week, arranging matters such as seed cultivation and improvement, as well as the resettlement of the soldiers who came back alive. He also personally checked the bodies of these people to ensure that there were no major problems and that they would not bring epidemics from other places. He also dealt with some things in the northeast nearby. Then he rode a horse with more than a hundred guards, leisurely inspected Youzhou along the way, looked at Qingzhou across the Yellow River, comforted the garrison here, and crossed the Yellow River...

At this time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who had been fighting fiercely for two years, finally decided the winner.

The main battlefields of both sides were in Chenliu, Jiyin, and Yingchuan. Yuan Shao wanted to fight to Xuchang, and Cao Cao wanted to fight to Luoyang.

Yuan Shao didn't care that Wang Yan in the north would take the opportunity to go south. All his troops were invested in the decisive battle with Cao Cao and pressed forward across the board. Because they all believed that Wang Yan would not cross the Yellow River, and even if he crossed the river, he would gather the people. As long as they didn't take the initiative to attack, Wang Yan would not raise troops to fight them.

Besides, even if Wang Yan crossed the river to attack them, they couldn't do it, and resistance was only a matter of time. So they simply gave up struggling and went all out to attack Cao Cao.

Cao's situation was more dangerous. After all, he only had Liu Bei as an ally, but he was attacked by Yuan Shao and Liu Biao. Originally, Yuan Shu was also attacking him, but now Liu Bei is strong, suppressing Yuan Shu, which also saved Cao Cao a lot of energy.

But it was not easy to deal with it.

This was not the time of Guandu. Yuan Shao had 700,000 to 800,000 troops, and Cao Cao had only more than 100,000. Yuan Shao suppressed Cao Cao and Cao Cao could only barely resist. He won the victory by surprise attacking Wuchao. Although both sides now have more than 100,000 troops, it does not mean that Cao Cao's fight is easier. Cao Cao is indeed capable, but he is not strong enough, not to mention that he is the one who was beaten.

The main reason lies in Yuan Shao's difference. It is precisely because he does not have 700,000 to 800,000 troops, and Wang Yan is eyeing him in the north. Once there is enough food and fodder, he will raise troops to the south. His mentality is absolutely different.

The original mentality at Guandu was that Cao Cao was not taken seriously, and even if he failed, he had a way out, so he naturally felt that he was sitting on the Diaoyutai. Now it is Wang Yan who has hundreds of thousands of troops, and they have fought once before, and ended up in a miserable defeat. The army is stationed on the other side of the Yellow River, spying on Luoyang.

Lu Bu's garrison in the west has entered Youfufeng, which is the real Sili land, only 200 miles away from Chang'an. Zhao Yun has ended the battle in Bingzhou to encircle and suppress the Baibo Army. To the east is the sea, and Wang Yan has warships that can go to sea. Yuan Shao has no way out. If he loses again this time, he really has nowhere to go.

It is also because the external environment is different now. At the moment of life and death, his men are unprecedentedly united, and no longer talk about political struggles such as the throne, which makes Yuan Shao strategic and decisive. After all, his men have a unified will, and he thinks it is good, so naturally there is no excessive hesitation.

In addition, his advisers were not bad, and his generals were not as good, but they were enough. Moreover, he also gathered warlords of all sizes in Guanzhong. Ma Teng was also under the command of the former Queen Sa, and Ma Teng's son Ma Chao was even more brave and brave. At this time, he was also an adult, which was considered to be a supplement to the peak combat power. With such a complete civil and military, and equal military strength, he fought with Cao Cao for two years.

In the recent battle, Ma Teng turned against Cao Cao and affected Yuan Shao's strategy. During the battle in Chenliu, he suffered heavy losses, and Chunyu Qiong was killed by Xu Chu alone, Wen Chou was trapped, and finally surrendered. Yuan Shao was doomed.

Luoyang, in the renovated imperial city, in the hall.

The atmosphere was very depressing, filled with a dead air, because the situation was really over, there was really nowhere to escape, and he had been trapped here to death.

Liu Xie, sitting on the dragon chair, suppressed his breathing and tried to reduce his sense of existence. He looked at the old figure standing at the entrance of the hall, with disheveled clothes and sleepy eyes, with his back to him.

Not only Liu Xie was looking, but all the officials in the hall and Yuan Shao's men were all looking at the old figure. Many of them knew how high-spirited this man was in the past. Of course, the difference was that many people were watching the joke, but the same thing was that everyone was worried about his fate.

After watching for an unknown period of time, Yuan Shao slowly turned around, looking at Liu Xie and the officials who were watching their noses and hearts in an instant, and then looked at his men with different expressions and his panicked sons.

He let out a long breath, tidied his disheveled clothes, straightened his crown, held the sword in his hand, and walked step by step towards Liu Xie who was sitting high on the dragon throne.

Liu Xie trembled, he didn't understand what Yuan Shao was going to do.

Yuan Shao walked in front of Liu Xie, didn't say anything, just looked at the trembling Liu Xie.

Finally, Liu Xie couldn't stand the strong pressure, stood up in panic, shouted not to kill him, ran to the side and collapsed on the ground. After finding that Yuan Shao didn't make the next move, he shut up again and sat there without saying a word.

Yuan Shao stepped on the step, turned around, looked at the people below who were staring at him, and some small movements of many people, stretched out his arms, flicked his sleeves, and sat on the dragon throne. He sat very upright.

Previously, he sat alone in the next level and never sat on the dragon throne. Today he sat on it and felt it, and it was just like this.

The emperor is the one with strong soldiers and horses. He had nothing in his hands, and he was as frightened as Liu Xie when he sat here, and even wet his pants in fear.

After a brief reflection, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Ma Teng rebelled, Chunyu Qiong died in battle, Wen Chou was captured, and the 100,000-man army was defeated in one day. The situation is hopeless. You have followed me for many years and have never abandoned me. I am deeply grateful for your kindness. Now the crisis is unsolvable and there is no way to retreat. Fighting to the death is futile. I am about to die, and you can go." He waved his hand to stop his men from speaking, and then arranged: "My son can flee in all directions, hiding his identity, or surrender to Cao Cao, and keep my bloodline." "Left and right , bring me a pot of poisoned wine and a jar of fine wine. I will die of poisoning and keep my body intact. I hope you will bury me. Please don't say too much. Cao Cao will lead his army here soon. There will be nowhere to go. "

After saying that, Yuan Shao suddenly drew his sword and glared at his soldiers who were not moving: "Why don't you go quickly?"

The soldiers had no choice but to bow and accept the order. After a while, they did as Yuan Shao said and took a pot of poisoned wine and a jar of top-grade liquor produced by Wang Yan, which had a soft taste but was very strong.

Yuan Shao watched the soldiers pour a bottle of liquor and a bottle of poisoned wine. He smiled and picked up the liquor and drank it in one gulp. He drank three bottles in a row.

When the burning heat dissipated, Yuan Shao took a long breath and said with a smile: "The king is a barbarian, and the people under his rule are brave and good at drinking this strong liquor. It's really good."

Death certification looked at the wine produced under Wang Yan's rule, he raised the bottle of poison wine and said to the group of people below: "Gentlemen, have a good journey."

After that, he raised his head and drank all the poison wine. Not satisfied, he drank another bottle before the attack.

He threw the wine bottle in his hand and laughed wildly.

The hall was empty, and his laughter echoed.

Suddenly, the laughter stopped, Yuan Shao felt unbearable abdominal pain, his eyes were wide open, blood flowed from his mouth, the whole person leaned back, twitched twice, and was dead...
