The Marquis Is Innocent

At the beginning of May, Wei Shao 100,000 sergeants drove directly to Dongjun, without encountering any obstacles, and entered Yanzhou.

Ding Qu fought against Wei Shao in the southern suburbs of Yan County, a hundred miles away from Dongjun County, and was defeated and defended the city.

He was a prisoner of war and was ordered by Wei Shao to rectify the law on the spot.

Among them are Ding Qu's sergeant and some Qiao family sergeants.

The news spread to Dongjun City, and everyone was in danger.

Hou Jiawanghui and others, former generals under Qiao Ping. On the night of the birthday banquet, he went back drunk, woke up the next day, and was imprisoned. Liu Yan arrived immediately, and Qiao Ci escaped from the city with Mrs. Ding. Later, Qiao Yue, the chief executive, jointly issued orders in the name of Qiao Ping, but Qiao was never seen. Flat out.

Qiao Yue said that Qiao Ping was in a coma and could not see people, and Hou, Wang and others had no doubts in their hearts.

It's just that Qiao Yue's status is there, and Liu Yan is the orthodox Han emperor, the emperor of the emperor. When he entered the city, Luanyu was majestic, accompanied by armored soldiers, and all the people along the way were kneeling and shouting long live. How dare Hou Jiawanghui and others dared to act rashly, forbearance until this time, secretly inquired about where Qiao Ping was being detained, and while Ding Qu was defeated, he retreated to the city, built a canal wall, Wei Shao surrounded the four gates again, and the order in the city was in chaos. , secretly united with the loyal old team, sneaked in while the chaos, killed the guards, and finally saw Qiao Ping's face.

See him blind, trapped in a shabby room. In the past, the county prince, who was supported by the army and the people, was like a dragon lost water and was trapped in the shoal.

Qiao Ping's eyes were poisoned, and he was trapped for many days, knowing that something must have changed outside. These days, I was so anxious, I had already made extremely bad plans, but I still didn't expect that things would go so badly. After getting up and asking about the situation inside and outside Mingcheng, he gradually calmed down and stopped: "Liu Yan has a deep mind, he should hate the humiliation of my Qiao family for breaking the contract back then, so he deliberately used my brother's discord to get in the way. This caused today's catastrophe. Although Ding Qu is despicable and unruly, he is extremely fierce and is not an easy person to deal with. Not to mention that he is a fox and a tiger. He led the military festival in the name of the Han emperor. The old clan must also take precautions, if you rush out like this, in case you don’t succeed, you will be killed instead.”

Hou Jia said anxiously: "Wei Shao has already invaded the city. In the battle of Yan County the day before yesterday, he killed all the prisoners, and there were sergeants from my Qiao family who were forced to fight. Ding Qu used this to spread panic, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city were heartbroken. I fear that the city will be slaughtered by Wei Shao, so I can only fight to the death to defend the city.

Liu Yan is no longer the boy who was forced to leave Langya and take shelter in the Qiao family because of his stepmother's slander.

If he still saves his own life today, he must also have his intentions.

In the end, Ding Qu would definitely use himself to blackmail Wei Shao.

If Wei Shao disregards his own life and death, he will hurt his relationship with Xiao Qiao.

But if he let it go, he couldn't explain it to his soldiers.

No matter what the result is, if it really reaches that point, it will be a lose-lose situation for Wei Shao or the Qiao family.

Liu Yan was able to set up a bureau to this point, and he wished it was deep, and the scheming must be heavy, which really made him unexpected.

Qiao Ping thought for a moment and said, "Ding Qu is a fickle person, and I have heard a lot about it. I have a plan. I can induce him to relax his vigilance first, and then give him a blow, which is easier to succeed."

…

Ding Qu retreated from Yan County and entered the city, so that the news of Wei Shao's massacre in the city could be widely publicized, and the Qiao family sergeants were driven to stand at the head of the city.

Seeing that everyone was terrified, and did not dare to relax for a moment, Fang was slightly relieved, came down from the city head, and ate suffocating wine alone.

Yanzhou has many beauties.

Recalling that Zhang Pu once said that Qiao Yue had a concubine who was beautiful and beautiful, he asked someone to call the woman.

The woman came tremblingly and bowed to him. Taking a closer look at his eyebrows, he looked a bit like Su Ehuang.

When Ding Qu saw this, he felt even more annoyed.

On the day that Luoyang City was broken, he took Su Ehuang to escape in the chaos. He had hoped to get the Xingxun treasure, but the woman said that he would take him to Liu Yan first, and then plan the treasure when he had a place to stay.

Ding Qu suspected that she was bucking the buck and wanted to kill him, and he was afraid that she really knew the treasure. In addition, he was like a lost dog at the time, so he had no choice but to go to Liu Yan with her.

Unexpectedly, Su Shi and Liu Yan hit it off. The two talked secretly, and after they came out, the Su family actually became Liu Yan's guest at the seat, and there were guards who came in and out.

Not to mention, it is not easy to ask her about the whereabouts of her treasure again, even if she wants to see her again.

Knowing that she should be tricked by her, but now that she has Liu Yan as her support, she can't help her.

Feeling more and more aggrieved in his heart, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he forcibly dragged the woman to kill him when he heard footsteps at the door. The woman opened, stood up abruptly, and while drawing her sword, shouted for the guards to enter.

For a moment, a dozen Ding Qu's men poured into the hall.

Qiao Ping said: "General Ding, don't be impatient. I can't see things with my eyes now. These old men have also been deprived of military power. With their bare hands, how can they hurt the general?"

Ding Qufang slowly settled down and said, "How did you escape? What are your intentions?"

Qiao Ping said: "I have one thing, both for my own good and for the general's consideration. I wonder if the general can talk to me in detail?"

Ding Qu thought for a while and motioned for his men to go out.

Qiao Ping ordered Hou Jiawanghui and others to go out as well, fumbled for himself, slowly took a seat, and said, "General Ding is about to have a big disaster, and he still doesn't know it!"

Ding Qu sneered: "I'm afraid the county is in a precarious situation, don't worry about yourself, and you threaten me with dangerous words, it's ridiculous!"

Qiao Ping smiled and said: "General Ding is brave and fierce, everyone knows it. But Sergeant Wei Shao is the longest in siege and looting. Now Liu Yan has injured Wei Liang and provoked hatred between the Qiao and Wei families. Wei Shao's army took revenge. Come on, it is unstoppable. Even if the city of Dongjun is with the power of my Qiao family, how long do you think it will be able to hold it? I really feel sorry for General Ding!"

Ding Qu was speechless.

Qiao Ping sighed: "I feel sorry for General Ding, far from it. General Ding was used by Liu Yan, and he didn't even know it?"

Ding Qu said, "How do you say this?"

Qiao Ping said: "To tell the truth, Liu Yan had a marriage contract with my daughter in the early years. Later, in order to solve the military encirclement of Yanzhou, my eldest brother made the decision and married my daughter to Wei Shao. Liu Yan and my Qiao family have a relationship. The humiliation of breaking the contract is even more incompatible with Wei Shao, which is why he planned to harm me, imprison me, control my brother, and anger Wei Shao and finally lead his army to attack. The matter was handed over to the general. Do you think he values ​​you? No! He has a deep scheming and can't wait for the Qiao family to fight Wei Shao to the death, so he used the power of the general to stick to Yanzhou, causing my Qiao family to fight Wei Shao desperately. It's an illusion. The more resistance Wei Shao encounters, the more provoked he must be. In this way, the day the city is destroyed, the situation will naturally become more and more tragic!"

Ding Qu was on guard at first, but gradually became more focused.

"Even if my Qiao family was completely destroyed in the end, it was because of the incompetence of my two brothers, and it was my own fault. You are different, General! You have the name of a hero, and everyone in the world knows it. Now that you join Liu Yan, it must be because of the Han family. Liu Yan used the general in this way, nominally making the general a marquis, and handing over the power of Yanzhou to the general, but in fact he just gave the general a hot potato and wanted to put the general in a desperate situation!"

Ding Qu was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

I want to have the name of a hero for nothing, but my fate is ill-fated. He voted for Yuan Zhe and Xing Xun successively, but both of them were not British. Now he was forced to switch to Liu Yan, who was despised by him in the past.

How could Wei Shao be an easy person to deal with?

Now that he is under the city, although he has tried every means to gather the old Qiao family to defend the city with all his strength, he does not know how long he will be able to defend it.

If the city is destroyed, even if he is brave enough to kill himself, as Qiao Ping said, his reputation will be tarnished again.

The current situation is really in a dilemma.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It's already like this! What else can I do? I have to fight Wei Shao to the death!"

Qiao Ping shook his head: "General, don't be discouraged, listen to me. With the power of a general, it is a pity to be played by Liu Yan like this. I don't want my Yanzhou military and civilians to be poisoned because of Liu Yan's treacherous schemes. This is all because of this. My eldest brother Qiao Yue rose up. Wei Shao's anger was also directed at my elder brother. My elder brother, who was ruthless and righteous, poisoned my eyes and blinded me in order to seize my power. He and I have long since lost brotherhood. I want to kill him and take other people's heads, so that I can ask Wei Shao to solve the problem. Wei Shao is my son-in-law, with Qiao Yue's head and my daughter turning around, this matter will definitely pass. Recommend Wei Shao to appoint a general. Wei Shao has ambitions in the world and is thirsty for talents. In the name of a general and hero, if he is willing to serve, how can he not accept it?"

Ding Qu was already moved, but his face was embarrassed, and he said, "Not only did I have no credit for Wei Shao, but I used to have a lot of resentment. How can he accept me now?"

Qiao Ping said, "Isn't it a great achievement when the general killed Qiao Yue?"

Ding Qu was suddenly overjoyed, let go of the sword in his hand, and said: "Listen to your words, I will stop! The Duke wait a moment, I will kill Qiao Yue and cut off other people's heads!"

Qiao Ping said: "Don't worry, it won't be too late to kill tomorrow, I'm afraid of where he will escape? Although I can't see, and I only spoke a few words with the general, but I have a feeling of meeting a bosom friend. If the general doesn't dislike it, can I? How many drinks will you have with me?"

Ding Qu nodded naturally. The banquet was reorganized, and the two of them drank. During the banquet, Ding Qu talked a lot about his sexuality, scolded Yuan Zhe for being narrow-minded, Xing Xun was cruel and stubborn, and Liu Yan was a despicable villain. After eating a cup, he was so drunk and his eyes were hazy that Hou Jiawang would enter and chop off the head with a knife without making a sound. It was a pitiful generation of warriors who died like this in Dongjun.

After Ding Qu was removed, King Hou Jia immediately summoned the old troops and ordered Sergeant Ding Qu to disarm. Most complied, and some stubbornly resisted.

After a while of fighting, at dawn, Liu Yan's forces in the city were finally completely wiped out.

Hou Jia hated Zhang Pu to the bone. Taking this opportunity, he rushed to Zhang Pu's residence with a knife, but when he entered, he saw no one else. The house was empty, not even a servant.

Entering the inner room, I smelled a strong **** smell, and saw a corpse lying on the ground, its head had been cut off. Identifying the clothes and appearance, it was actually Qiao Yue, the prefect of Yanzhou.

Hou Jia was shocked. While sending someone to inform Qiao Ping, he searched nearby and finally caught a servant from Zhang Pu's house and sent it to Qiao Ping.

The servant was trembling and knelt down and said, "Yesterday morning, not long after the news of Ding Qu's defeat, Duke Qiao sent someone to pass on Zhang Pu. Zhang Pu didn't go to see him. Seeing that he was carrying a sword, he was furious and chased Zhang Pu into the inner room. After a while, Zhang Pu carried a package and hurried away. I dared to go in, only to see that Duke Qiao had been cut off. Hearing that Wei Shao When the city was attacked, the people in the city were in chaos. I was afraid of being implicated. I was afraid, so I ran away. I don't know what happened next.

Qiao Ping pondered.

Qiao Yue should have heard the news of Wei Shao's siege and wanted to kill Zhang Pu to vent his hatred. I don't know how the process was, but Zhang Pu was killed, and even the head was cut off.

Although Qiao Ping also hated his brother's confusion, which made Yanzhou fall into such a predicament, he did not expect that he would end up dying at the hands of one of his most trusted advisers, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

He ordered people to collect Qiao Yue's corpse, and then immediately dictated, ordered people to repair a book, explained the cause and effect clearly, and attached Ding Qu's head.

Hou Jia told himself to go out of the city to see Wei Shao.

Qiao Ping waited anxiously for the news.

Wei Shao didn't even see Hou Jia's face, let alone read the letter, and brought it back together with Ding Qu's head.

Qiao Ping was anxious: "He must have thought that it was my Qiao family who saw the wind again and killed Ding Qu to beg him again, so he insisted not to see it. It would be better for me to go out of the city to see him personally! , all because of my oversight, and the attack on General Wei Liang, which has nothing to do with me."

Everyone hurried to stop, and suddenly, at this time, an urgent report came, saying that Wei Shao's army had completely united, and the east, west, north, south, and four gates of Dongjun were completely packed.

Standing on the city wall, the flags and flags can already be seen.

At the same time, Bi She also led the army from Juye, and seemed to stop Wei Shao's army from attacking the city.

The two sides confronted each other, and they were on the verge of breaking out.

Qiao Ping burst into anger, vomited a mouthful of blood, staggered, and fell on his back to the ground.
