Chapter 726: Zhu Ye is injured
Liu He was furious when he looked at the battle report that Zhang Yong rushed to deliver.
"Hateful! These people were ordered to be so slackened, and they openly disobeyed military orders and slandered the commander. It is not worth mercy to die! The person who came, Guo Qiao, who was taken back, immediately tied up and beheaded outside the Meridian Gate and showed his head to the public!"
"Your Majesty, no!"
Xun Yu hurriedly stopped him.
"Wen, why should I plead for the miscellaneous? What's the use of this person leaving me?" Liu He was angry and did not intend to listen to Xun Yu's persuasion.
However, Xun Yu still insisted on speaking: "Your Majesty, a mere Guo Qiao has violated military discipline and national laws. It is indeed damn. However, the total number of officials sent to Liangzhou by the imperial court this time was 123, nearly 70% of them were related to the Yang, Zhao, Du, Guo and other families. It was a move that affected the whole body. General Zhendong had killed four county magistrates, all of which were children of these families, which was easy to attract criticism. Guo Qiao is the eldest son of Guo Fang of the Great Honglu Guo. Among the many children of aristocratic families, he is also very famous. His wife is the second sister of Du Ji, the Yin Yin of Jingzhao, and the two sons, respectively, married the granddaughter of the Grand Marshal Yang Biao and the daughter of Taichang Wang Qian. It is very different from the four county magistrates."
"Hmph, different? What's the difference? Why, the Guo family can't help but be able to do whatever they want?"
Liu He's tone became a little cold.
Xun Yu knew that Liu He was very unhappy at this time, but he did not hesitate at all and continued, "Your Majesty think twice. The situation now seems stable, but your Majesty must be clear that in the court, many court officials headed by the Hongnong Yang family, where the Taiwei is located, are dissatisfied with Your Majesty's always valued the followers brought by Bingzhou and neglected the children of the gentry. For several years, Your Majesty has comforted them. This time, Liangzhou has appointed officials to promote the children of the gentry, which has made the court stable. Now that there is a war between the east and west, it is an extraordinary moment. No more troubles can occur. Please put the overall situation first and temporarily stop the anger of the thunder."
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Liu He not only did not calm down, but became more and more annoyed.
"What? I am a great emperor of Han, but I can't kill Guo Qiao who violates the laws and regulations of the country? If I kill him, Yang Biao and others, would it be impossible for me to rebel?"
At this moment, his anger surged, and his murderous aura was so fierce that Xun Yu and Xun You were a few steps apart, but they felt a faint chill, which made them sweat on their foreheads.
"Your Majesty is so serious. Your Majesty is unpredictable. How dare all the ministers be disobedient? But their resentment will inevitably affect the stability of the court. I think that when Your Majesty is in the court meeting, he will express his intention to behead Guo Qiao, and then the ministers will inevitably plead for mercy. At that time, Your Majesty will sell his personal favors to them, demote Guo Qiao to a commoner, impose himself on Yunhai County, and hand it over to Tong Jian for three years to punish him. In this way, it can demonstrate the majesty of the country's laws and military disciplines, and eliminate the uneasiness of the court officials."
"I think the Secretary of State's words are very good, so I hope Your Majesty will accept it." Xun You also persuaded him.
Since the two followed Liu He, Liu He has been obedient and respectful, but unexpectedly, this time, Liu He did not give any face at all.
"No need, the Han Dynasty is the world of my Liu family, and the world of all people, not the world of their ministers or families. The military discipline is strict and the national laws are severe. Not to mention a mere Guo Qiao, even my son and daughter, if they violate it, they should be punished according to the law and be ruthless. If they have any resentment in their hearts, what are I afraid of? I don't want my nephew to repeat this mistake, so I should teach you well and strictly regulate it, rather than letting them do anything wrong. Then I will ask me to be lenient. In this way, what is the discipline? Where is the power of heaven?"
"Whether they want to cry, make trouble, or make trouble in secret, I will accept it all. But, hum, if someone dares to do something that harms the court, I am not afraid of taking the charge of killing and supporting a hero."
Xun Yu and Xun You looked at each other and sighed in their hearts: "I'm afraid the court will change again..."
At the same time, fierce battles are taking place outside Sanguan.
"Wow, what a strange natural danger? In my eyes, it is vulnerable. Smash it, smash it to me!"
Zhu Ye waved his sledgehammer and cheered the soldiers in front of him, looking very excited.
He has been attacking Sanguan for three days and has accomplished nothing. Today, the fire beast and Jinglanche and other siege equipment arrived in the army. Zhu Ye was very happy and launched an attack again early in the morning.
The huge fire beast was launching a fierce attack on the city gate of Sanguan. In less than half a day, the city gate was already in ruins.
A soldier ran over: "General, the front of the pass is too narrow, and it is difficult to deploy the well railing. I wonder if I will attack with a ladder?"
When Zhu Ye heard this, he said without hesitation: "It's just right to use the car on the well railing. Go up the ladder and see that the general personally climbed the city gate and won the first achievement!"
Zhang He hurriedly advised: "General Zhu, you are the commander of the first army, how can you take risks yourself? Let's leave this matter of siege and charge to the last general."
"Hey, I'm going to compete with you for this merit with you. Hehe, the last time I attacked Xiliang, my merit fell on my second brother's head. I'll get one this time no matter what. Ha, Sanguan, I'm here!"
Zhu Ye ignored Zhang He, carried the double hammers, got off the war horse, and rushed towards Chengguan.
Zhang He didn't dare to be careless: "Hurry up, get on the ladder and protect General Zhu!"
He brought a group of elliptical soldiers whom he personally trained and quickly followed Zhu Ye.
Zhu Ye's huge double hammers were in use at this time. He used his palms larger than palm fan to grab the handles of the two hammers with one hand and pressed them on his head, blocking all the attacks from above, and grabbed the ladder with the other hand and climbed up quickly.
Seeing that he climbed the city so quickly, the soldiers who attacked the city were all very motivated.
Above the city gate, Lei Tong and Ling Bao were so anxious that they jumped straight into their feet.
"It's over now. The city gate and the city wall are almost impossible to save. Once the Sanguan is lost, we will wait for the military law to deal with it."
Ling Bao was paced back and forth while still, not sure whether he was anxious or scared, and his face was covered with cold sweat.
Lei Tong touched his forehead: "Oh, what's the use of your swaying around? Stop turning, I'm dizzy."
"I'm going to turn around, what are you doing to me? This is all..."
Ling Bao's words were suddenly interrupted by a wild laugh.
"Haha, I'm here, where is the enemy general? I'm not stretching out my head and letting me hit two hammers!"
Zhu Ye's tall and burly figure jumped onto the city tower, swept left and right, and smashed a group of Shu troops torture the bones and vomited blood.
The two of them were so scared that they were almost scattered.
"It's over. This evil god is coming up. Why don't we withdraw our troops?"
When Ling Bao spoke, his body had already taken several steps back.
Lei Tong spat at him: "Bah, you are such a brave guy, we are the General of the West and General of the North personally named by His Majesty. Then Zhu Ye is just a General of the West in the Luoyang court. Even if we can't beat him, we can't be scared away. Will the general be distracted from now on?"
He carried the weapon and was about to kill him. Ling Bao hurriedly stopped him.
"You are so stupid. If you fight him and you are meant to be smashed into meat sauce, it will not only be embarrassing, but also lose your life. Wouldn't it be even worse?"
Lei Tong was stubborn: "That's not OK. Your Majesty treats us well, how can you escape without fighting? At least I asked me to take him two hammers, and after running away like that, I would have something to say."
After saying that, he waved his weapons and attacked Zhu Ye with great momentum.
When Zhu Ye saw a man who looked like a general came over, his eyes lit up.
"Ha, there is finally a leader. Come and let me see how much you have."
He smashed several enemy soldiers with his left hand, and swung the hammer with his right hand, and then slashed the sky and the earth and rushed towards the thunder and copper.
Before the sledgehammer hit, Lei Tong felt a terrifying wind blowing at his face, scaring his only courage.
"My mother, how can this guy's hammer be picked up by a mortal?"
Lei Tong no longer cared about his face and rolled on the spot, barely dodged the attack.
"Haha, I still think it's a character, but I don't want it to be a waste, look at the hammer!"
Zhu Ye jumped up, and his two hammers were blowing at the thunder bronze on the ground.
"Old drunkard!" Ling Bao looked at this scene from a distance, anxious in his heart, but he was powerless.
At this moment, a sharp arrow shot through the sky.
"Hmm? Is there an ambush?" Zhu Ye's heart stormed, and he raised his two hammers to block his chest.
After the arrow shot, it collided with the double hammer and knocked out some sparks.
However, Zhu Ye's face changed: "No, what a strong arrow!"
He jumped in mid-air and couldn't take advantage of the force. Although he blocked an arrow, he couldn't bear the huge force brought by the sharp arrow. Zhu Ye, who had originally jumped forward, flew backward and fell heavily to the ground. His two hammers hit the ground on the city wall, and immediately cracked many bricks.
"Ah, I fell to death..."
Zhu Ye fell and felt pain all over his body. He turned over and was about to stand up, but he was shocked to see a second arrow shot towards him.
“It’s not over yet…”
The word "心" just said, and the sharp arrow pierced directly into his chest.
