Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 968

No one thought that the trial match was so strong that he would rather die than surrender, and simply set a fire, shrouding the entire inner city in a sea of ​​fire, and no one dared to enter it.

The fire burned all night, making the entire city of Peiping "brightly lit." When the fire became slightly smaller, Xu Huang ordered the soldiers to carry water to fight the fire.

"General, there are no living people in the city anymore, there are charred corpses everywhere." The soldier who came out after entering reported to Xu Huang.

"...Take out the corpse from the city head and give it to Shenrong."

In fact, Xu Huang was a little puzzled. The trial set fire to the city. Could it be that Yuan Shao was also burned to death? In other words, Yuan Shao was already dead after he hit Lü Bu's arrow. That's why the trial dared to set fire to the city unscrupulously.

Thinking of this, Xu Huang suddenly became clear, and at the same time ordered: "Go to the county guard house and look for it, maybe you can find Yuan Shao's body."

As the saying goes, you have to see people when you live, and corpses when you die, because if you can't see the corpse, you can't accurately judge whether a person is dead or not, especially the princes who are fighting for the supremacy of the world. As the saying goes, if you fight a snake, you don't die, and you hurt yourself.

During the Renzong period, Di Qing, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, was ordered to conquer Nong Zhigao south. At that time, Nong Zhigao was in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, and he was in the limelight, but finally defeated under Di Qing's fierce attack. Di Qing led his army to chase him, and finally besieged him in the lone city. As a result, Nong Zhigao also set a fire to the city. When the fire was out, Song Jun found a charred corpse wearing a dragon robe. Of course the face is not clear.

And Di Qing reported the matter to the court. He did not say that he had caught Nong Zhigao, but only caught the scorched corpse wearing a dragon robe. This incident naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Song Jun, because he could catch Nong Zhigao. I asked the court for a reward, but Di Qing did not get this set.

However, it can also be seen that it is indeed very troublesome if the enemy leader cannot be accurately captured.

Xu Huang sent sergeants to search around, but Yuan Shao was nowhere to be found. Naturally, he was anxious. At this time, a soldier came to report that someone outside the door knew where Yuan Shao's body was.

"Do you know where Yuan Shao's body is?" Xu Huang stared at the young man in front of him, and asked with a little doubt.

"Yes, the villain knows, but if the villain tells General Xu, I wonder if General Xu can give the villain 100 gold to support the elderly mother?" the young man said blankly.

Xu Huang has a hint of appreciation on his face. After all, everyone likes filial piety, not to mention the Han Dynasty is the dynasty that values ​​filial piety most.

"Okay! As long as you tell me where Yuan Shao's body is, and the news is true, I would have given you five hundred gold. You can also serve in our army, so that you and your mother will have a good food and clothing." Xu Huang agreed.

"Yuan Shao's body is in the Yuan Mansion, but it was buried deep underground, so the inner city was burned last night without any damage."

"Oh? Who are you, how do you know this thing so clearly?" Xu Huang asked curiously, because this is obviously a big secret, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know.

"My name is Yuan Fang, Yuan Shao... is my father." The young man was silent for a while, and said with hatred.

"What?" Xu Huang was taken aback. The heroes are fighting for hegemony. There are many sellers seeking glory these days, but it is not good to tell the body of his father like this?

The young man said angrily: "In his eyes, only Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are his sons. The rest are no different from servants. My mother is a concubine in Yuan’s mansion. He was drunk...and gave birth to me!"

"After being favored by him once, my mother never saw him again. Everyone said I was a bastard..."

After hearing what he said, Xu Huang came to understand and couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone thinks that there were three wives and four concubines in ancient times, but they did not realize that they were also monogamous in ancient times, but they were only monogamous and multiple concubines. Only the husband in the house was the wife, and the other concubines had no human rights at all and could be treated as slaves. Treated, unhappy can even kill him.

The wife in the main room is different. You cannot divorce it casually. If you divorce the wife in the main room casually, you will be condemned instead. Therefore, in ancient times, men respected their wives. Except for the emperor, changing the queen was like changing clothes.

Xu Huang immediately rushed to the prefecture with hundreds of soldiers and Yuan Fang. The prefecture was also located in the inner city. Naturally, it was also burned to ruins by the fire, and a lot of charcoal was seen. The limbs of the corpse were open, and it was obviously stroked by flames before death, and the pain was unimaginable.

"Is here?" Xu Huang turned his head and asked Yuan Fang.

"Well, definitely inside." Yuan Fang affirmed.

Xu Huang waved his hand: "Dig for me!"

Hundreds of soldiers picked up the shovel and digged, sweating profusely, and finally dug a coffin at noon.

"Dug it out!"

The soldier who dug out the coffin yelled excitedly, and Xu Huang hurriedly greeted him: "Open the coffin and have a look, hurry up!"

Although it is not very moral to open a human coffin, it must be confirmed that this is Yuan Shao.

The surrounding soldiers rapped with shovel and opened the lid of the coffin. Xu Huang craned his neck to take a look, and he was overjoyed. Whose was Yuan Shao inside?

The trial originally planned to put Yuan Shao's body in a coffin and temporarily put it in the city, so that it could be buried in the soil in the future, but it was unexpected that Shen Rong would surrender to the city, and the trial would naturally have no time to transfer Yuan Shao's body. .

"Great, it's really the Yuan Thief!"

Xu Huang shouted: "Cover the coffin and send the body to Luoyang!"

During the Battle of Peking, Shenrong Xiancheng surrendered. The Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army attacked the city like a tide, and set the city on fire. Peking City fell into the hands of the Xiliang Army.

Xu Huang dug out Yuan Shao's body, and then arranged a cart to take it to Luoyang quickly, changing horses at various stations along the way without changing people.

At the same time, at the same time that Xu Huang and Lu Bu joined forces to take Beiping and obtain half of Youzhou, Cao Cao also planned a long-planned military operation against Hebei.

Xiahoushang, Lu Qian and others set off from Qingzhou and crossed the sea to attack Ping'an Harbor. Then they passed through Xiangping and the counties of western Liaoning, and then set up an ambush on Gongsundu's only way to defeat Gongsundu's main force.

The several strong cities in Liaodong were all occupied by Cao Jun, Gongsun Du was desperate, and the gentry who had been killed by him before also turned to Cao Cao. Gongsundu wiped out the large and small gentry of Liaodong, and naturally there were fish that slipped through the net. These people hated Gongsundu and naturally used all resources to help Cao Jun, making Liaodong full of Cao characters.
