Chapter 1744: Xindu wins the next step
Sun Yu got what he wanted and died at the hands of the top masters in this world.
It can be said that once Sun Yu dies, the entire new capital will fall into Liu Jun's hands.
Dian Wei respected men like Sun Yu, so he asked Liu Jun soldiers to lift their bodies on a temporary stretcher and transport them to Liu Yu.
This is a great contribution.
However, in Dian Wei's opinion, Sun Yu couldn't even catch his full blow, and his strength was too weak. So, after Dian Wei killed Sun Yu, he felt a little depressed.
Why don’t you find a big battle with an enemy general?
If Dian Wei wants to realize this wish, he can only go to Sun Ce. Now most of the Eastern Wu who can fight with generals of Dian Wei will either be arrested or killed. After counting, only Sun Ce, the leader of the Eastern Wu, can come to the table.
"You go with me to meet Your Majesty!" Dian Wei said to Liu Yao and Marton.
Liu Yao and Madon were both shocked by Dian Wei's force just now. After Dian Wei spoke, they came to their senses and were very happy. Although they did not kill Sun Yu, they did everything they could do. Dian Wei asked them to meet Liu Yu together, which was a recognition of them.
"Thank you, General!" Liu Yao and Marton said very gratefully.
Dian Wei felt that these two people were officials from the new capital before, and thought that they should be useful to Liu Jun before they could let them meet Liu Yu together. Otherwise, Dian Wei would be too lazy to talk more nonsense to them.
The group headed towards the north gate and saw many Liu army soldiers on the way. When the soldiers saw Dian Wei, they saluted one after another, and Dian Wei simply nodded and signaled.
The general Zhang He in the army brought his troops and met Dian Wei.
"See General Dian!" Zhang He's official position was lower than Dian Wei, so he immediately dismounted and saluted Dian Wei.
Dian Wei said with a smile: "It's Zhang He! Don't be so polite! Where are you going now?"
Zhang He gave a very good impression in the army. Dian Wei also had a good relationship with him and could just call him by his name.
Zhang He knew that Dian Wei was usually casual, but he was etiquette and bowed and said, "Take troops to the west gate according to Your Majesty's will!"
"Your Majesty has entered the city! The east gate and the south gate?" Dian Wei asked.
Zhang He replied: "I don't know this! I dare to ask the general if he wants to go back to meet His Majesty?"
Dian Wei nodded and said, "That's right! Sun Yu has been slaughtered by me! I want to go back and report to Your Majesty. When you attack Ximen, you will use Sun Yu's death to destroy the enemy's morale."
Zhang He glanced at the body on the stretcher and confirmed that it was Sun Yu, and he felt a little regretful. Sun Yu was the prefect of Xindu. If he killed him, his military achievements would be great. Zhang He really wanted to get his official position a little more. Now that Sun Yu was killed by Dian Wei, Zhang He lost a chance.
However, Zhang He still congratulated Dian Wei and said, "Congratulations to General! The last general will not disturb the general! Goodbye!"
"Please!" Dian Wei said: "You can take down Ximen as soon as possible so as not to disturb His Majesty the puppy of the Eastern Wu."
"Thank you for your reminder, General!" Zhang He rode on his horse and bowed to Dian Wei, then ran towards the west gate with his troops.
Dian Wei continued to set off on the road, and it didn't take long before they arrived at Ximen.
Under the north gate, under a large ceremonial guard, Liu Yu was sitting on the imperial throne, listening to the reports of some military generals.
Dian Wei asked Liu Yao and Madon to wait behind him, and he accelerated his pace and ran towards Liu Yu, shouting: "Your Majesty, I'm back!"
Dian Wei's loud voice made Liu Yu notice him immediately, and he said to Dian Wei: "Come on evil!"
"Your Majesty, I'll kill Sun Yu! Look, his body is here!" Dian Wei asked the soldiers to carry Sun Yu's body over.
In Liu Yu's heart, Sun Yu is just a small character, and it doesn't matter whether he dies or lives. However, Sun Yu was killed by Liu Jun, which can allow Liu Jun to occupy the new capital faster.
"I'm evil, you're doing a good job! Come on, cut off Sun Yu's head and instruct each unit to quickly take down the new capital." Liu Yu asked the Liu army soldiers to cut off Sun Yu's head. This was not disrespectful to Sun Yu, but there were still many Eastern Wu soldiers in the new capital. Only with Sun Yu's head could they surrender.
Sun Yu's head was immediately cut off by the imperial guards and then taken aside.
The new capital is a very important city, and Liu Yu must take it down as soon as possible.
Dian Wei then said to Liu Yu: "Your Majesty, when I was chasing Sun Yu just now, a bunch of people appeared to intercept Sun Yu. They claimed to be the Xindu Military Cause and Hu Cao."
"Oh? The soldiers and servants of Xindu?" Liu Yu's heart was clear and there would be traitors everywhere, and Xindu City was no exception. "Bring them up!"
Liu Yao and Madon were waiting for Liu Yu's orders all the time. They came to Liu Yu with tension and joy.
Facing the most noble person today, Liu Yao and Madon were promising on the spot and bowed: "My minister Liu Yao (Madon) pays homage to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with all his blessings and peace!"
"Get up!" Liu Yu was immediately happy when he saw two people who were promising to the ground. He hadn't seen such an interesting person for a long time. "I heard from evil, you intercepted Sun Yu just now? Tell me, why do you do this?"
Marton felt nervous. Liu Yu's question seemed very simple, but once he couldn't answer it well, he would be in big trouble at any time.
Liu Yao calmed down and replied with his eyebrows down, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is a great sin to Sun Yu try to resist the power of heaven. I am humble, but it is also the blood of the Han Dynasty. How can I tolerate his mischief? Therefore, I led the servants to protect the courtyard and captured the thief with a three-foot green edge. But Sun Yu was cunning and could not give him the head. I entrusted His Majesty's Hongfu and General Dian's bravery, so Sun Yu could be killed!"
Well, I have made a lot of comments in a literary way. Liu Yu knew that Liu Yao was a relative of the Han Dynasty and a scholar who had read a lot of books.
"No wonder! It turns out to be a relative of the Han Dynasty! I wonder if there is a jade plate?" According to the convention of the Han Dynasty, as long as someone calls himself a relative of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu can ask him to show the jade plate issued by Zongzheng.
If Liu Yao did not exist in front of him, then he would have to be killed without mercy! The Han clan relatives were not casually impersonated. Like Liu Bei's situation before, it was really special.
Liu Yao immediately took out the jade plate he had been carrying and held respectfully in his hand. The people around him knew that Liu Yao was a sensible person at a glance. If Liu Yao held the jade plate close to Liu Yu, then he would be taken down at any time. The imperial guards took the jade plate from Liu Yao and finally handed it to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu looked at Yu Di and found that Liu Yao was really a relative of the Han Dynasty, two generations shorter than his generation. In other words, the person in front of him who was older than Liu Yu could be regarded as Liu Yu's grandson.
This kind of thing is really common in large families with a large population. Especially in the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's descendants were unknown.
Liu Yu said to Liu Yao with a gentle expression: "It's rare that you are so filial! I remember your contribution."
"I thank you for your kindness!" Liu Yao stood aside happily. He knew that he could not compare to any reward. Remembering his name.
Marton was anxious while talking between Liu Yu and Liu Yao, but he couldn't interrupt. Now that Liu Yao's work is over, it should be his turn.
"Your name is Marton?" Liu Yu did not forget that there was another person.
Marton said respectfully: "I am the same as Liu Yao. I have been going through fire and water for the sake of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Yao has already answered Liu Yu’s question very perfectly, so Marton will no longer talk about it, as it will make her look inferior to Liu Yao.
Liu Yu chuckled and said, "Very good! I have a task for you and Liu Yao. I wonder if you two are willing?"
Liu Yao immediately stood up and said with Marton: "Your Majesty, please issue an order!"
Liu Yu pointed to the entire Xindu City and said, "I will leave the Xindu City to you two. Do you have confidence?"
"I am willing!" Liu Yao and Marton were shocked. Liu Yu had such a great kindness at once, which really surprised them.
"Well! Come on, I'll draw an order! I'll give Liu Yao the prefect of the new capital, and Marton the lord of the new capital, and be in charge of the new capital!" Liu Yu said softly.
Li Gui next to him immediately took out an imperial edict, wrote it like a dragon, and wrote it all at once. Liu Yu took out his jade seal and pressed it down directly.
This imperial edict was handed over to Liu Yao and Madon.
The order is mainly Liu Yao, so only if Liu Yao comes to accept the order. Liu Yao was very excited. He had been in the position of military command for most of his life. Now he took a risk and got the prefect of the new capital. This is a big leap. Marton felt a little bit worse than Liu Yao. But compared to before, he was just a household and rose to the main point, it was very good. As long as he worked hard in the future, he would have made great contributions.
"I thank you for your kindness!" Liu Yao and Madon kowtowed again.
Liu Yu waved his hand and asked them to stand aside, while Liu Yao and Madon stepped aside obediently.
It seems a bit arbitrary to use two people who don’t know the details to be the first and second person in the Xindu City. In fact, Liu Yu has deeper considerations. Xindu City is just a city. Liu Yu wants the entire Eastern Wu. With the current Liu army’s troops to occupy the Xindu City, the troops cannot cope with Sun Ce’s counterattack. So Liu Yu uses Liu Yao and Marton, two local snakes, to plan to remove Liu Jun from the Xindu City. Another point is that Liu Yao and Marton were both officials of the Xindu City before, with a certain strength and influence, and can stabilize the situation in the Xindu City as much as possible. Liu Yu believes that Liu Yao and Marton have received the order and will definitely try their best to protect the Xindu City. They have already betrayed. If the Xindu City is taken down by Sun Ce, their whole family will be dead.
The last factor is that Liu Yu felt that Liu Yao and Madon had not contacted Liu Jun before, but at a critical moment, the credit must be rewarded. People from other places must know that Liu Yu is a person with clear rewards and punishments. As long as they are willing to contribute to Liu Yu and the court, Liu Yu's reward is great.
Typically, it is necessary to stand up. But in the end, whether to settle the accounts after the fall is another matter.
And Liu Yu also believes that after Liu Yao and Madon stabilize, they will definitely use all their power to make profits for themselves. At that time, don’t blame the court for killing the donkey.
As time went by, the situation in Xindu City quickly settled down. As soon as Sun Yu took out his head, the Eastern Wu defenders lost their confidence in fighting. In addition, the Liu army's generals continued to attack in the city, and the Eastern Wu army in Xindu City could not reverse the situation. In addition, some forces in Xindu City who wanted to be loyal to Liu Yu also participated. Xindu City eventually became Liu Jun's possession.
From the start to the end, it only took less than two hours. It can be said that it was very fast.
Liu Yu stretched out a little boredly. This time it was a siege battle led by him. The process went too smoothly, which made Liu Yu feel bored. Invincible is really a little lonely.
Well, Liu Yu is really shameless.
In boredom, Liu Yu also asked about Cheng Yu and Zhang Luo’s affairs. Liu Yu didn’t know what happened to the two families. Liu Yao told Liu Yu very regretfully about the cause and consequence of the Cheng family and the Zhang family’s destruction. This is something that everyone knows in Xindu City.
"What a pity!" Liu Yu said only this.
If Liu Jun had come earlier, it would probably be that there would be no such thing in the Cheng and Zhang families.
At the same time, Liu Yu admired Sun Yu's decisiveness. When he found the problem, he immediately took action and was neat. If it weren't for hostility, he could do it, Liu Yu wanted to promote Sun Yu. Unfortunately, Sun Yu died in battle.
"Zhongyun! Sew Sun Yu's head and his body together and buried him with great difficulty!" Liu Yu ordered Li Gui.
Sun Yu was dead, but Liu Yu obviously wanted to respect him and give him the treatment he should have. This would demonstrate his reputation as a benevolent king.
Li Gui understood in a flash, and he immediately ordered his men to do this.
With the return of military generals from various departments, Liu Yu also understood that the war had ended. In order to show his loyalty, all the forces in the new capital helped to appease the people. The remnants of the Eastern Wu army were also dealt with by these people. As long as the Eastern Wu army was unwilling to surrender, there would be only one fate, and that would be death.
Of course, many Sun Yu's subordinates saw that the situation was hopeless and they were unwilling to surrender, so they broke out of the Xindu City and didn't know where to go. Liu Yu didn't care about such deserters. What he most hoped was that these Eastern Wu soldiers would go to Sun Ce and inform Sun Ce of the Xindu City. In this way, Sun Ce would be even more nervous, which would be beneficial to Liu Yu's plan.
Immediately afterwards, many aristocratic families, powerful officials and officials came to pay homage to Liu Yu. His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty arrived in the new capital, so they must come to pay homage to him. Only fools would not come.
Liu Yu was too lazy to meet these people, and said to Liu Yao and Marton: "I will leave the matters in Xindu to you. Military affairs are busy, so I don't have time to see them."
Liu Yao and Madon naturally understood what Liu Yu meant. As the emperor, Liu Yu had a lot of troubles, so he had no time to meet these idle people waiting for him. Of course, they were going to pass on such trivial matters.
