Yuan Shang was still standing in front of the two of them.

Although the Cao army only attacked the city for one day, they did not repel the Cao army's attack with much effort, but the Cao army did not retreat, but surrounded Yecheng.

Although there is plenty of food and grass in the city, there is always a time when it runs out, and the city is besieged, which inevitably causes panic among the generals and the people.

At this time, everyone still hoped that Guo Yuan's army could quickly reflect the effect, penetrate directly into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and force the Cao army outside the city to retreat.

The judge bowed and said: "According to the date set by the lord, Guo Yuan has stepped out of Tongguan today, if it goes well, he will be able to approach the territory of Yingchuan within two days, and when the news reaches the front of the Cao army, it will take at least three days later, please be patient." ”

"That's true, it's because I'm too anxious, and Guo Yuan isn't so fast," Yuan Shang smiled dumbly, turned around and put the oil lamp on the table, and sighed: "It's a pity that General Yin Kai has been killed by Cao Thief, and the soldiers under his command must be gone, which is really a pity."

It's hateful that the Cao thief also threw General Yin Kai's head into the city, I'm afraid it will cause panic among many soldiers, right? ”

"Panic, naturally," the judge pinched his beard, frowning.

The generals in the city did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle, so they naturally looked forward to the reinforcements from outside the city to come to the rescue.

In addition to hoping that Guo Yuan could go straight to the Central Plains, it was also a great hope that the guards of other counties and counties would lead the army to help.

But Yin Kai's head was thrown in, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to them, Yin Kai was already strong in the county guards.

"The one who can shake the hearts of the army more than Yin Kai's head is the persuasion of Xin Bizhi," at this time, Feng Ji said with an angry face: "This guy surrendered to Cao Thief by himself, and he also instigated others to surrender before the battle, I see that many people have been moved by his words, and the lord must not be guarded against." ”

Xin Bi was originally Yuan Tan's subordinate, but later Yuan Tan was defeated by Cao Cao, and Xin Bi naturally took refuge in Cao Cao, and Cao Cao recommended him to the court as a speaker.

At this time, Simbi appeared under the city to say the truth, which naturally resonated with many people.

"How's that okay?" Yuan Shang didn't have any ideas, so he could only ask the two henchmen in front of him.

"I have a plan," the judge narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Na Simbi and his brother Xin Ping have a very close relationship, and it was under the leadership of his brother that he was able to defect to the ancestor at that time.

At this time, Xin Ping's family was still in Yecheng, and if that Xin Bi persuaded him to surrender under the city, the lord could order his brother's family to be killed at the head of the city.

This can seal the mouth of Xinbi, and secondly, it can deter the small night with abnormal movements. ”

"Good! The matter will be handed over to the Zhengnan Gong. Yuan Shangdao.

On the second day, when Xin Bi was persuading him to surrender under the city, the judge suddenly put Xin Ping's family, from the old man to the drooping children, all of them to the city.

"Shut up," the judge said, "Do you know who this is?" If you dare to say more, I will kill someone. ”

"Judge, you shameless villain, what do I have to do with my brother?" The eyes of the people under the city were cracked, and they roared loudly.

"That's two sentences," the judge waved his hand expressionlessly, and two soldiers slashed the necks of Xin Ping's two seven or eight-year-old sons with their swords, and the bodies of the children were thrown down the city like fluttering.

"Shameless, shameless!" Seeing his two nephews being killed, Xinbi under the city couldn't help but shake his body, fell off his horse, beat his chest and feet, and was overwhelmed with grief.

Cao Ang, who was watching the battle from behind, held the sword at his waist and had green tendons in his left hand, and his teeth creaked, but he was helpless to take the trial of the city.

"Say it again," the judge sneered and waved his hand, but this time he pushed up Xin to comment on a teenage son.

The young man's face turned pale with fright, his lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Father, father, save me......"

At this time, he was tied up by five flowers, and he struggled and roared angrily according to Xin Ping, who was on the ground: "Trial, the misfortune is not as good as the parents, the sin is not as good as the wife and children, I am loyal to the lord, it is you, the villain, who provoked behind the scenes, killed my family, and I will not let you go." ”

The interrogator's face was pale, and he did not pay attention to Xin Ping's accusations, and continued to wave his hand to the soldier, signaling to kill the child.

The soldier raised his steel knife and slashed it down with a rapid pace.

"Dang!" With a bang, the steel knife was framed by a sword.

The judge took a closer look, but it was his nephew, Jurong.

Xian Rong has always been friendly with Xin Ping's Xin Bi brothers, and he also believes that each is his master, and his sin is not as good as his wife and children, at least he knows that although Xin Bi surrendered to Cao Cao, Xin Ping is loyal to Yuan Shang.

Now that my uncle wants to kill Xin Ping because of Xin Bi's surrender to Cao, this is really too much.

"Uncle," Xian Rong knelt down to the trial and begged: "George (Xin Bi) surrendered to Cao, it was a last resort, but Zhong Zhi (Xin Ping) has never betrayed the lord, why did the uncle kill his family, doesn't this chill the hearts of all the soldiers?" ”

"I do things, why do I have to explain to you, if you weren't my nephew, I would have killed you together," the judge was furious, and shouted: "Drag me down, do it!" ”

At the same time, another soldier raised his knife and cut the throat of the young man of the Xin family, and after the blood sprayed out, he threw it down from the city.

Xin Bi under the city, Xin Ping at the head of the city, looked at the falling corpse, and was stunned for a moment at the same time.

Suddenly, Xin Ping shouted to the city: "George, you don't have to worry about me, such a faint master, reusing traitors, is not worthy of loyalty, you should persuade to surrender, and when the city is broken, remember to kill this thief to avenge me." ”

As he spoke, he violently broke away from the person holding him down, and took the initiative to pounce on the tip of the spear of the soldier behind him, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his head drooped, and he committed suicide.

"Nakaji!" Xingrong, who was holding his arms, shouted heartbreakingly, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing that Xin Ping was dead, it was useless for the rest of the family to stay, so with a wave of his impatient hand, dozens of men and women of the Xin family were all killed in the city, and the corpses were thrown down one by one.

Seeing the murderous trial, all the generals around him were terrified.

What the trial wants is this deterrent effect, and this is the end of betrayal!

And the Simbi under the city could no longer support it, and he was huddled on the ground alone.

He didn't dare to look at the tragic situation of his brother's family being killed, and he just muttered to himself: "Brother, I hurt my brother, I killed my brother's family, I deserve to die, I deserve to die......"

At this time, Cao Ang led the soldiers to come over, jumped off the horse to help Xin Bi, and said with red eyes: "Mr. George, I, Cao Ang, swear here, on the day the city is broken, then the trial of the family, surrender is useless, let Mr. dispose of it." ”

"The day the city is broken, the day the city is broken," Xin Bi's eyes were dilated, his soul was lost, and he suddenly grabbed Cao Ang's arms again, and said with anticipation on his face: "Big prince, when will the city be broken?" ”

Cao Ang was speechless, he was really hard to say, and he needed to wait for months or even half a year of siege before he could take revenge.

At this time, a ride suddenly came from afar.

The herald galloped forward, rolled the saddle and dismounted, holding a wooden box and said in a loud voice: "This is a gift from the little one for the eldest prince on the order of the prince of Ping!" ”
