Chapter 227 Capture Sima Yuanxian Alive
Huan Xuan's troops were about 40,000, and in the court, even if Sima Yuanxian's 10,000 imperial guards were placed on the line of Liyang to Gushu. They all thought there would be a fierce battle, but the result was that they would collapse without fighting. How could the Yuzhou Army and Liyang Army be so vulnerable? Is this still a life-and-death battle?
Everyone looked disbelief and looked at each other with disbelief. "Okay!" Wei Feng shouted ok and shouted: "Sima Daozi is full of hearts and his morale is sluggish. The defeat is only today. I send an order to speed up the food in the whole army and must arrive at Jiankang before Huan Xuan!"
"Abide by the order!" The generals agreed in unison!
Wang Man's pretty face was also flushed because of excitement, and his little fists were tightly packed. Wei Feng hurriedly pinched her hand and signaled not to be excited. However, the enemy was about to be killed. Wang Man tried his best to control his emotions, and the surging tide could not calm down!
In just a moment, while Wang Man was anxiously waiting, the entire army boarded the war horses and galloped towards Jiankang. Since there was no need to hide their whereabouts, the horse's hooves rumbled in the wilderness, and the smoke and dust filled the air, and the momentum was amazing!
It took only half an hour for the distance of sixty miles. Jiankang had appeared in front of him. Between the Nanli Gate and the Dongli Gate, Wei Feng waved his hand violently: "Stop!"
The order was conveyed layer by layer, and the soldiers strangled the horses one after another. Li Zhuluo hesitated and asked: "General, Sima Yuanxian is only guarding against Huan Xuan. Most of the time, he had never expected that you would come. There would be no heavy troops in the southeast of Jiankang. Why not take advantage of the situation to invade and capture the father and son alive?"
Wei Feng's eyes passed over the outer Guoli, and at the two satellite fortresses with eyesight, Dongfu City and Danyang County City for a short while, he shook his head and said, "Jiankang is densely populated, and if he is not careful, it will cause a lot of casualties to the people. Therefore, I will give Sima Yuanxian a chance to pull the imperial guards out to fight. Do you understand?"
"Oh!" Li Zhu suddenly realized: "The news that Liyang and the two troops in Yuzhou collapsed without fighting last night should have been sent back to Jiankang, which will cause the morale of the army to fluctuate. Even if it is pulled out, it will be vulnerable. The general's move can make healthy people feel grateful, and it is indeed wonderful!"
Li Zhu's admiration on his face was unfairly concealed. Wei Feng felt extremely helpful in his heart, but he waved his hand calmly on the surface: "Okay, let all the brothers come down to rest for a while."
The soldiers dismounted and rested for a while, waiting for Sima Yuanxian to arrive.
At this moment, Sima Yuanxian gathered the imperial guards outside Xuanyang Gate of the palace city, intending to strengthen Chapulei to Xinting, west of Jiankang, and fight against Huan Xuan to the death. The entire army was about 15,000. Although the armor was complete, the formation was not in order. Most of the soldiers' faces were confused or afraid, and they looked dejected.
Sima Yuanxian was anxious and afraid, and quickly looked at the chief aide Zhang Fashun and asked anxiously: "Sir, I have seen that the soldiers have been disparate. How can I resist Huan Xuan? Do you have a way to boost your morale? Otherwise, you and I will die without a place to bury you!"
"This" Zhang Fashun's eyes showed a hint of despair. Two days ago, he proposed to take out some of the goods and send them to Liyang and Gushu to help the army, but Sima Yuanxian rejected it and couldn't bear to pay the money. Who still works for you?
"Sir, why? Is there nothing you can do?" Sima Yuanxian's face sank and urged.
Zhang Fashun looked towards Gushu and reluctantly suggested: "How about going to Xinting first and try to make peace with Huan Xuan. Jiankang is in charge, and we retreat to the outside states." Before he finished speaking, a personal follower rushed over in panic and shouted: "Report to the prince, a large number of cavalry have come to the southeast of Jiankang!"
"What? Can you tell who it is? How many troops are there?" Sima Yuanxian's face changed drastically and he blurted out.
He answered in person: "There are about 5,000, and they all rest on the spot, but there was no sign!"
"Is it the Northern Mansion Army?" Sima Yuanxian murmured to himself as if he was lost, "It must be the dog thief Liu Laozhi killed this day. He took advantage of the new defeat in the court and took advantage of the situation to rob!"
Zhang Fashun had a flash of inspiration and said uncertainly: "Criminal, it's useless to guess for no reason now. He didn't take the opportunity to attack Jiankang and instead stationed outside the city. Could it be that the rebels from local prefectures and counties came to reinforce the court? Why not go and have a look?"
"Yes, yes! Go quickly, go quickly!" As if a ray of light appeared in the darkness, Sima Yuanxian waved his hand repeatedly and drove the entire army to the southeast.
After about half an hour of touching, a huge group of people left the Nanli Gate. Looking around, they were indeed pure cavalrymen. Most of them were sitting on the ground to rest, and a few were walking around with their horses, looking loose. Sima Yuanxian immediately breathed a sigh of relief and gave Zhang Fashun a wink.
Zhang Fashun called out with a sense of urgency: "He led the governor of Yangzhou, and also the governor of Xuzhou, and was appointed as the chief minister, the secretary of the Shangshu, and the later general, founded the official Yitong three departments, the governor Yangyu, Xuyan, Qingyouji, and Jingjiang, Yongliangyi and Guangxi military affairs. The prince of Kuaiji, Yuan Xian, is here. Which army is the visitor?"
Wei Feng and others were shocked, and they didn't expect that Sima Yuanxian would have such a long list of names!
Wang Man was amused and cried, and said angrily: "Sima Yuan looked arrogant and elegant, even more so his father. When he saw him today, it turned out that I didn't expect that there were such arrogant and arrogant people in the world. He really did not forget to show off his might until his death!"
Wei Feng nodded with a smile, then his face darkened, and he shouted sternly: "I am ordered by the Kuaiji Insider Wang Ningzhi to send troops to help the Nanjun Duke eliminate the treacherous slander in the court. Sima Yuanxian, today is your death!"
Brush! Brush! Brush! Sima Yuanxian and everyone around him turned pale in an instant. Their mentality was like a gambler who lost all. He had a self-deception of any unknown thing, hoping to use it as a bargaining chip for his own profits, but now, the dream of beauty was shattered on the spot!
Sima Yuanxian no longer cared about his identity and waved his arms and called out, "Wait, your family has always been loyal and righteous, how could he be able to cling to the traitor? Could it be that you disobey the superiors and forced the court? If you know how to return, you can continue to do so without pursuing the court, and you will be rewarded with great help. Don't make mistakes again and again!"
"Hahahaha~~" Wei Feng laughed and said, "Sima Yuanxian, I am Wei Feng, the man who regards Xiaobogong's young queen, Wang Man as his wife, aren't you going to summon me to the court? Today I will take your dog's life!"
As he said that, Wei Feng smiled and shouted: "I, Wei Feng, only kill the evil people for revenge, and not the rest. No one is involved, so as to disperse quickly to avoid harming the fish in the pond! The whole army obeyed the order and tried to capture Sima Yuanxian alive, but if there are stubborn people, they will be killed without any reason!"
"As for the order!" The soldiers quickly stepped onto the war horses, and did not arrange their troops, and formed a scattered line, rushing towards the imperial guards two hundred steps ahead!
Sima Yuanxian shouted anxiously: "Don't listen to his nonsense, don't run away, defeat the thief, and there will be rewards for the court!"
But half of the imperial guards were pieced together and would not serve him sincerely. Besides, everyone knew that Sima Yuan had no chance of going to the point. Even if he abides by his promise to be granted an official title, he had to consider whether he had the life to enjoy it. No one would be willing to save his life in vain!
In the blink of an eye, the 15,000 troops behind him scattered, and weapons, bows, and ceremonial wars were all lost all over the ground, leaving only Sima Yuanxian and Zhang Fashun on the spot!
The sound of horse hooves rumbled and the earth trembled slightly. Compared with the overwhelming cavalry, Sima Yuan seemed so small, even though he was the powerful prince of the prime minister!
Zhang Fashun immediately woke up and screamed wildly: "Criminal, you can't escape this time. If you fall to the hands of a traitor, you will be humiliated in all kinds of ways. Please commit suicide. Fashun should follow him to Jiuquan and serve him again!"
Sima Yuanxian couldn't help but tremble, and he knew that Wang Gong was owed the head, but according to the convention, scholars, especially Gaomenjia, should keep the whole body even if they were killed. The separation of their bodies and heads was just a commoner's way of death. He was afraid that Wei Feng would be inappropriate in his head and chopped off his head, so he set his mind on his mind and plucked out his sword and was about to wipe it out his neck, but an arrow shot from "swoosh!" and immediately hit his wrist!
"Dang!" With a sound of "Dang!", the sword fell to the ground, and the blood soaked Sima Yuanxian's sleeves red. Before he could even scream, a rider accelerated instantly, and a bright sword light slashed down on his head!
"Ah!" Out of survival instinct, Sima Yuanxian screamed and closed his eyes. Before the voice had dissipated, a shrill scream beside him. Sima Yuanxian subconsciously turned his head and saw Zhang Fashun's head flying in the air, and a bunch of blood splattered out!
"General is good at it!" Zhang Ning couldn't help but praise him while still galloping.
Wei Feng took the arrow and took action by himself. He couldn't help but exclaim that he was happy. The knights also pulled the horses and made Sima Yuanxian surrounded him.
He was surrounded by cavalry riding horses, from the inside out, and circles were dazzling. Sima Yuanxian's expression was dull, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his eyes were unconsciously pulled and turned, and cold eyes shot in turn. Sima Yuanxian's mind became dizzy, his knees softened, and he collapsed to the ground with a plop.
"Evil thief! You have today too!" Wang Man could no longer control himself, and he pulled his horse forward and whipped it hard!
A crisp sound of "Bang!" accompanied by a heart-wrenching cry, Sima Yuanxian's handsome face showed a blood mark on his face!
The hatred that had been suppressed for three years was completely aroused, so Wang Man simply jumped off the horse and kept whipping it one after another!
"Ah! Oops! Oops!" With the crisp sound of the bang, Sima Yuanxian wailed and rolled, covered in blood, but he barely protected his head with his hands. He has been frugal since he was a child, and he may not have even slapped him. How could he have suffered such a hardship?
After dozens of whips, Sima Yuanxian's pain became weaker and weaker, and the strength of his struggle became smaller and smaller. Wei Feng hurriedly grabbed Wang Man's arm and advised: "If you hit again, you will have to be beaten to death. Take it with you first and behead him with Sima Daozi!"
"Yeah!" Wang Manlian gasped for several times before he barely took back the whip, but the resentment in his eyes did not diminish slightly!
In fact, Wei Feng did not hate Sima Daozi and his son. If Wang Gong was not confiscated and exterminated, it would be a dream to marry Wang Man as his own identity. Even if the father and son were not his benefactors, they would be a big matchmaker!
Huang Miu's thoughts flashed in a flash, Wei Feng turned his head and shouted, "Tie it, next one, it's Sima Daozi's turn!"
