Zang Ba and Wu Dun died in the house at the same time, and there was no leader among the dragons, and the whole Kaiyang city was in a commotion.
In particular, I don't know where it came from. After Zang Ba died in Wu Dun's hands, the two gangs who were originally comrades-in-arms suddenly clashed and turned against each other.
Swords, lights and swords, people called horses neighing, flesh and blood flying everywhere, the comrades who were fighting side by side just now are turning against each other like crazy, fighting on their own, the screams continue to come.Some people had their arms and heads cut off, and the blood splattered half the sky high. The beheaded person would be slashed by others at any time, and the one who was cut off would use his last strength to slash back. The severed head and limbs rolled everywhere on the street. Yes, blood stained the ground, streets and houses red.
Even though there were some sober ones who wanted to stop it, the soldiers of the two armies in the city were already jealous. They had no enmity before, but now they had blood feud.There were fights everywhere, screams and screams everywhere, and mutilated corpses everywhere.
Half a day passed, and the army led by Cao Anmin was already at the gate of the city, waiting in full force.
"Crack." With a soft sound, the city gate slowly opened, and a group of soldiers with white flags came out slowly.
A night of fierce fighting turned the entire Kaiyang City into a hell on earth, and only less than a thousand people survived.
He strode in with his personal guards, and seeing Zang Ba and Wu Dun who fell to the ground in front of him, Cao Anmin was also deeply moved, and asked the soldiers to restrain their bodies and bury them on the spot.
Zang Ba was killed, Kaiyang City was destroyed, and Yuan Tan's second attack on Cao also failed.Different from the last time, this time, Yuan Tan not only lost a large amount of soldiers and military supplies, but also lost all the generals under his command who were good at fighting.
Qingzhou's strength has been greatly damaged, and it is already on the verge of peril.
"Ding! The host has completed the peak-level mission - the second step of the Eight Kingdoms Competition, defeated Qingzhou Yuan Tan on his own, and rewarded 3 points of force."
Current attributes, strength 86, intelligence 90, commander 87, politics 84, charisma 94.
After defeating Yuan Tan, Cao Anmin was not in a hurry to advance. At present, Yuan Tan in Qingzhou was not to be feared, and Sun Ce and Liu Biao in Huainan were all stagnant.
The crisis is not like before, the most important thing now is to clean up the battlefield and rectify military affairs.
The era when Xuzhou was controlled by others has completely passed. After this war, Yuan Shao's strength has been weakened, and the pattern of one super and many strong has also completely collapsed.This is a great time for him to make contributions.
Under the city of Xuzhou, the army cleared the way, Cao Anmin guarded the Chinese army at the forefront, and behind him was a coffin covered with the flag of General Cao.
When the news of Cao Anmin's return spread, all the people in Xuzhou came out to wait and see.Seeing the appearance of the team in front of them, everyone fell silent.
There was no cheering, no jumping for joy, and all the people had a look of mourning in their eyes.
"Enter the city." Cao Anmin waved his horsewhip, and the soldiers carried the coffin directly into the city.
Although Li Tong was not the most profitable general under Cao Anmin's command, he was loyal and hardworking, such a character should be regarded as a role model for soldiers.
Li's mansion is small in size. Compared with other people, this mansion looks a bit dilapidated.
According to the position, Li Tong doesn't have to be like this.
Cao Anmin had rewarded him with better houses many times, but he refused to accept them all, and still lived in the original house.
When the car arrived at Li's Mansion, people from all over the mansion had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Li Tong had a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter was born in Lijia Village. That day when the Yellow Turban Army attacked, his wife and daughter went to the city to escape.After arriving in Xuzhou, in order to commend Li Tong's achievements, Cao Anmin chose another woman from an aristocratic family for her.The two married and had a son, who is only one year old now.
The child is still young, but the pillar of the family has already died. Everyone speculates that even though Cao Anmin pays sympathy, life in Xuzhou may not be easy for the Li family in the future.
Cao Anmin quickly got off his horse and came to Mrs. Li Tong, with tears in his eyes, he said, "You two sisters-in-law, Anmin is incompetent and failed to bring Wenda back alive."
Although Li Tong's wife was born as a peasant woman, she is extremely well-bred.Although he had known about Li Tong's death a few days earlier, even though his heart was extremely sad, he still tried his best to support him and suppress the grief in his heart.
"Wentong fought for the public and for the country. Even if he died in battle, the women are proud of him. In time, when our child grows up, I will make him a father like his father. A man who stands up to the sky and defends the country."
Hearing this, Cao Anmin nodded towards Yao Guangxiao who was beside him.
Yao Guangxiao took out the manuscript he had prepared early, glanced at the people in the Li residence and said: "Wen Da and I met in Runan, fought many battles successively, punished the Yellow Turban, destroyed Yuan Shu, and settled Jiujiang. , now died for the country, An Min felt sorry for it, hated the loss of a good friend, and lost a good minister. Today, here, Li Tong is posthumously named General Dingguo, and I will live in Xuzhou forever. I write biographies for the general, copy portraits and carve statues Put it in the Zhongyi Pavilion, and the name will be engraved on the hero monument, so that future generations will admire it. On the day of the funeral, all the garrisons in various places lowered their flags at half-mast to express their condolences."
As Cao Anmin said that day, in order to commemorate those martyrs who died for the country, a martyr's cemetery and monument were specially selected outside Xuzhou City.
After building these two, Cao Anmin built Zhongyi Pavilion in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. He set up sculptures for civil servants and generals who died in battle, and wrote books and biographies to commend their achievements.
Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu had 28 generals in Yuntai, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty also established Qilin Pavilion for eleven heroes in recognition of his ministers. Later Tang Taizong also established Lingyan Pavilion for the 24 founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty.
After much deliberation, Cao Anmin decided to follow their example and build an attic to house ministers of civil and military affairs with outstanding meritorious service.
According to the proportion, imitate the sculpture of a real person one to one, and carve a stone tablet.
Cao Anmin's words completely stirred up a thousand waves, not to mention everyone in the Li family, even the civil and military soldiers around Cao Anmin were impassioned and surging.
Being an official or a general actually pursues a name that will go down in history and last forever.Cao Anmin just fulfilled their little wishes and did what they liked, the civil and military were so grateful, how could they not die in loyalty.
Civil servants don't love money, and generals don't hesitate to die, so the country will be stable and the country will last forever.
"Thank you, my lord." Everyone in Li's residence was also grateful.In fact, everyone knew that with Li Tong's merits, he was completely ineligible to join the cabinet.
However, as Cao Anmin's first senior general who died in battle, and also the founding minister of his country, the superimposition of his dual identities allowed him to also be able to bear this honor.
"It is better to be a hero in life than to mourn after death."
Chapter 345
In the study of the Li Mansion, looking at the young face in front of him, a smile appeared on Cao Anmin's face.
The person standing in front of him was Li Tong's younger brother, Li Ji, who was also known as a famous Tang general along with Li Jing.
Li Ji is also called Xu Shiji, and Xu Maogong in the novel, but he is a character comparable to Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen.Following Tang Taizong, he attacked Xue Yantuo twice, defeated Goguryeo and Eastern Turks, and made great achievements. He is one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
Now standing in front of him, he recommended himself to avenge his brother.
Regardless of other things, this courage is also worthy of praise.
"Just now you are not as silent as you are now, why are you silent now?"
There was still no expression on Li Ji's face, and he said lightly: "It was just a moment of emotion, and the words came from the heart, and I hope you will forgive me."
"Big words must have lofty ambitions. I think since you can say such things, you must also have extraordinary skills."
If it is an ordinary person, after hearing such words, he would either be modest and polite, or put on airs, but he is rarely as silent as Li Ji.
"If the public wants to achieve great things, there are two problems right now."
"Oh, let me tell you what the problem is."
"One is that the Duke wants to attack Yuan Tan, but he is afraid of Sun Ce and Liu Biao's sneak attack from behind. The other is that the Duke lacks a handsome talent who can handle everything by himself, and it is difficult to separate himself."
Cao Anmin laughed out loud when he heard this.
"My subordinates are like clouds, and generals are like rain. How can I say that I don't have handsome talents?"
Faced with Cao Anmin's ridicule, Li Ji remained unmoved.He continued: "Looking at the world today, there are indeed quite a few brave generals under their command. But among them, there are only a few of them who are in charge of one side. For example, General Yang Yanzhao who guarded Yangdu together with my brother this time , he should be one of the few generals under the command of the Duke. I think the Duke should also know this, so he asked General Yang Yanzhao to guard Dongguan to prevent Yuan Tan from going south."
Facing Li Ji, all the camouflage on Cao Anmin was torn off.As a monarch, he doesn't like the feeling of being seen through.
If it is Mingjun, I am afraid that he can tolerate Li Ji's behavior.If it is a faint king, maybe what awaits him next is a dead end.
