"Okay, I'll go and choose someone, and then do as you say" Huang Zhong finally agreed to Guo Jia's proposal after thinking about it.

Guo Jia listened to Huang Zhong's words and said with a smile: "Okay, is this worthy of the lord's love for you, so when you give these gifts to Yuan Shao, you can also take advantage of this time to send some gifts to Yuan Shao's soldiers."

Huang Zhong listened to Guo Jia's words and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it, you can get busy first."

"Well, farewell"

After Huang Zhong and Guo Jia separated, Huang Zhong selected a bold soldier in the army, and then secretly packed several brocade boxes, and let the soldiers he selected come out of Yuan Shaojinan's subordinates to send gifts, and at the same time, when the soldiers left, Guo Jia also specially instructed the soldier not to enter the city and come back as soon as possible after the gifts were delivered. After the gift-giving soldier left, Huang Zhong asked the soldier to tear off some torn clothes, and then gathered some people who could write and began to write letters on the strips of cloth.

In Linzi City, Yuan Shaozheng was sitting in his position with a sad face, discussing with all the civil and military generals about dealing with Liu Qing's army, and suddenly a voice came from the door: "Report, the lord, Jinan Mayancai people sent gifts, please accept the lord with a smile."

"Come in and talk" Yuan Shao was worried, and suddenly heard the person who claimed to be a gift from Jinan, and hurriedly shouted loudly, and the soldiers came in and put several brocade boxes in front of the hall and said loudly: "Lord, this is a gift from General Mayan Ma of Jinan, please take a look."

"Present" Yuan Shao looked at nearly ten large boxes, he didn't know the life they contained, but of course he was happy that it was a gift, so he happily signed for it, and then untied the lid of a box with curiosity.

The lid of the brocade box slowly opened with the flip of Yuan Shao's fingers, slowly revealing the contents of the box, and many people leaned over to take a look, even Tian Feng and Fu Zhi were not exceptional.

"But when he looked at the contents of the box, Yuan Shao almost fainted, and the others were also dumbfounded, staring at the bloody things in the box, in fact, the box was not a good gift, but Huang Zhong's army passed all the way and killed the head of the emperor's enemy general, Yuan Shao looked at his most trusted Ma Yan in the box, and almost fainted, but he quickly recovered, and then shouted loudly to his subordinates: Catch him for me, catch him for me......" At this time, Yuan Shaojunxiu's face had already been deformed, and he looked extremely hateful.

"Lord, it's not me, it's not me, my lord, I'm wronged......" The soldier in front of Yuan Shao, who had just sent the head to Dao, shouted loudly that he was wronged.

Yuan Shao looked at the shouting soldier, his face was still very cold, and he let the two soldiers press the soldier to stand up and shout loudly: "You dare to say that you are wronged, then tell me, what is going on with these people."

The soldier was overjoyed when he heard this, "The lord begs you to be clear, the small one is just a guard at the west gate, just when the little one was standing guard just now, suddenly a fast horse rushed from the west, and the little one went down to interrogate when he saw this, and the man saw the little one also got off the horse and walked to the little one and said that he came from Jinan to give a gift to the lord, so I was going to let him in, who knew that he said that he was in a hurry, so he put down the gift, and gave the small ten taels of silver, and let the small one be handed over to the lord, please forgive the lord."

"Hmph, as a city guard, corrupt and bribed, receiving things from unknown sources, the crime deserves death, pull me down and behead me" Yuan Shao listened to the words of the soldier and did not notice it, and angrily ordered the two soldiers who grabbed the soldier, let them press down and behead the gift-giver, the two soldiers dared to be lazy, and quickly complied.

After the soldiers were pulled out, Yuan Shao looked at the strange eyes of the others, thought for a while, and felt that this news could not be known to others, otherwise they would panic if they knew that the guards of Jinan and Le'an were all killed, so Yuan Shao closed the box in front of everyone, and then said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, it's okay, it was a gift from Ma Yan just now, and now we will continue to talk about how to guard against the enemy army." Yuan Shao said and sat down in his place again, and just as Yuan Shao sat down, he heard another soldier coming from outside the door to report.

"Newspaper, lord, the east and west of the city are at the same time the enemy shoots bows and arrows, and their bows and arrows do not shoot people, but deliver letters"

Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this: "The traitor from there is so presumptuous, quickly pull it down and behead me" So before the soldier could react, the two of them had already pressed him in their hands.

The people outside the door shouted for help, but the atmosphere in the room was extremely dull.

"Eh, what is this" Just when the atmosphere was dull, suddenly a civil official saw a bow and arrow on the ground, so he said strangely, and then picked up the bow and arrow, between the bow and arrow there was a rag tied to the head, the civil official took off the rag and looked at it, only to see the words on the rag but they were stunned, and then cold sweat broke out, at this time a civil official next to him found the abnormality, took the letter and glanced at it, and froze.

Yuan Shao originally wanted to hide the news that the enemy army had surrounded Linzi, but now that it has been discovered, there is no way to avoid Yuan Shao no longer concealed it, stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, now we have been surrounded by the enemy army before and after, the only way to survive is to fight to the death, now you don't have to think of a way, hurry up and prepare to prepare for Chen to eat."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and they left one after another, and there were only Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and Yuan Shao left in the back hall.

"Lord, now the enemy's capture of my Le'an and Jinan seems to have become a fact, we can't support it alone, so we must retreat, please make arrangements as soon as possible" Tian Feng also saw the letter just now, and after some instructions, he had already learned that the matter was true, so he immediately said to Yuan Shao.

Hearing this, he lit a fire to Yuan Shao, "Lord, we must retreat, keep Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as we get out of Liu Qing's encirclement, we will definitely be able to make a comeback." ”

After listening to the words of the two, Yuan Shao was still decadent, waved his hand at the two of them and said, "You guys go down first, let me think about it and then make a decision."

When he heard this, Tian Feng was also very helpless and retired from the hall.

At this time, tens of thousands of archers were placed in the open space outside the east gate and west gate of Linzi at the same time, and there was a very tacit understanding to shoot bows and arrows tied to the letters in Linzi Chen, and the content of these letters was to describe that Yuan Shao had reached the end of the world, so that the soldiers or generals in the city would abandon their weapons and surrender, and at the same time said a news, Le'an and Jinan had been stationed, and let them rebel and revolt, if someone could kill any official in the city, as long as he took refuge in Liu Qing, what kind of official position would he get, and money.

Under the stimulation of these, the soldiers in Linzi City were panicked, talking everywhere, guarding against each other everywhere, and they didn't even dare to wander when they were sleeping, for fear that the people around them would attack them.
