Dong-gun, Dongwuyang.

Outside the city has been surrounded by Yuan's army, Zhang He sat in the barracks, looking at the map of Dongwuyang, Dongwuyang is not a county town, according to their estimates, now Dongwuyang's grain stock should have been exhausted, but Zang Hong did not have the slightest intention of surrendering.

Still resisting? Why?

Zhang He received Yuan Shao's order, even if the city is broken, Zang Hong can't die, there are no reinforcements, and even the reason for Yuan Shao's rebellion is only because Yuan Shao did not send troops to rescue Zhang Chao, and Zang Hong seems to have no intention of dominating one side and becoming a prince, so he rebelled so suddenly, in Zhang He's military career, this situation is definitely the first time.

"Woo Woo!" Gao Ran came in from outside the tent.

"What?" Zhang He raised his head, looked at Gao Ran and smiled.

Gao Ran said to Zhang He: "River. Nan Yin is here and wants to enter the city. ”

"River. Nam Yin? Zhang He couldn't react for a while. Nan Yin doesn't seem to be from his own side, what is he doing here?

Immediately, Zhang He understood: "Sent by Chen Mo? ”

"Well, I went to see the lord first." Gao Ran nodded and said: "I came here, I should have come to persuade Zang Hong, after all, the two families don't want to fight now, Zang Hong is here, and it is not easy for the lord and General Chen to do it." ”

Chen Mo and Yuan Shao didn't want to go to war, but Zang Hong was here, and neither of them could afford not to see it.

Zhang He nodded and said, "Let him go directly into the city, I hope to persuade Zang Hong." ”

There is really no need to fight this battle, it is a waste of time to continue, there is no benefit in winning Yuan Shao, losing ...... No way.

Gao Ran nodded, Zhong Yun had already met Yuan Shao, since Yuan Shao had spoken, it was impossible for them to stop him, as for meeting, there was no need, there was nothing to say.

Zhong Yun was escorted to Dongwuyang City by Gao Lan, and the general guarding the city said in a deep voice: "My lord has already said that there is no messenger in sight. ”

Zhong Yun rubbed his head, saluted to the city head, and said, "Please ask the general Mr. Tong Bingziyuan, under the command of the right general under the command of Zhong Yun, temporarily replace the river. Nanyin's position, my lord has a letter to Mr. Yu Ziyuan, and I hope that Mr. Ziyuan will not hesitate to see him. ”

The right general is Chen Mo's military position, Zang Hong is Chen Mo's teacher, and some people have persuaded Zang Hong to vote for Chen Mo or ask Chen Mo to help, but Zang Hong did not speak, and the generals under his command are not easy to say, now Chen Mo's people are here, and after hesitating for a moment, the general guarding the city bowed to Zhong Yun and said: "Let the king wait a while, and the last general will go to Tongbing." ”

River. Nan Yin, if only in terms of official position, and Zang Hong are the same figures, Chen Mo directly put the river. Nan Yin sent it, this person, Zang Hong may not be able to see it.

The city gate was not opened, Zhong Yun was hung on the city wall with a hanging basket, even if he was mentally prepared, but when he saw a soldier on the city wall with a famous face and a dish with a glittering light in his eyes as if he was about to eat people, Zhong Yun couldn't help but feel a feeling of numbness in his scalp even if he had also experienced the battle array.

The cauldron at the head of the city exuded the smell of meat, and when Zhong Yun saw a thigh fished out of the cauldron, his stomach suddenly churned.

In the early years of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were many things like cannibalism, and there were a lot of them, but at this moment, looking at the broth boiling in the kettle, Zhong Yun still couldn't stand it.

"These ......," Zhong Yun looked at the generals beside him.

"They are all corpses of the enemy, the food and grass in the city have been exhausted, and the enemy army has attacked the city in the past few days, and we have all put them up and killed them again." The general replied casually.

It can still be like this now, but after a long time, I'm afraid it will ......

Zhong Yun didn't speak, followed the general down the city tower, and went straight to the direction of the government office, Dongwuyang is not big, but it is also a county of ten thousand households, but at this moment the street is quiet, except for the soldiers who patrol back and forth, no one can see it, like a ghost town.

"During the siege of the city, in order to save grain and grass, most of the people have been expelled from the city, the lord knows that this battle will be lost, and he does not want to implicate the people. The general on the side explained.

Zhong Yun nodded, didn't say much, Zang Hong's right or wrong matter is actually not important now, Zhong Yun doesn't want to comment, near noon, he saw someone carrying a rice bucket in front of some doors to bring food in, only to find that the doors of some houses were sealed from the outside, leaving only a small window to deliver food, it felt like a prison.

The hands that came out of the window were mostly skinny, like chicken feet, and occasionally the sound of thanksgiving could be heard, just thinking of the food in the rice bucket, Zhong Yun felt his stomach churn again.

In the government office, Zang Hong and several staff members sat upright, and Zhong Yun saw Zang Hong and hurriedly saluted.

"It's Shulin here." Zang Hong described it as withered, without the appearance of being handsome when they met, and when he saw Zang Hong, he only nodded slightly, his voice could be heard to be obviously weak, his eyes were bloodshot, and he smiled reluctantly: "Bo Dao taught you to come, and you also persuaded me?" ”

"Cloud ...... On the orders of the lord, I came to deliver the letter. Zhong Yun took out the bamboo slip that Chen Mo gave him, handed it over with both hands, and a strategist beside Zang Hong took the bamboo slip and handed it to Zang Hong: "The lord is now in Luoyang, and he has ordered someone to capture Hanoi, and wants to exchange the land of Hanoi for Mr.'s life!" ”

"Why bother? Dying man, don't cause a great war because of me! Zang Hong sighed, anti-Yuan Shao is for righteousness, whether it is righteousness or small righteousness, what others think, Zang Hong will not care, he is just following his own heart and doing things, but if Chen Mo is implicated in this matter, and even causes a big war between Chen Mo and Yuan Shao, this is what Zang Hong does not want to see.

"Mr. should know that the lord is a person, this matter is related to the life of the gentleman, how can the lord sit idly by?" Zhong Yun arched his hand.

Zang Hong didn't speak, and silently spread out the bamboo slips to see.

In Chen Mo's bamboo slips, there was no mention of any words to persuade him to surrender, and hundreds of words were sprinkled, but the core was to ask Zang Hong what to do if he encountered this matter? I can be righteous with all my heart, but how can I be righteous with others? The righteousness of the soldiers under his command and the righteousness of the people under his command.

Their righteousness may not be the world, maybe they are parents, maybe they are wives and children, these righteousnesses seem to be small, but as Zang Hong said to Chen Mo at the beginning, there is no difference between big and small righteousness, and the righteousness of tens of millions of people is ignored because of the righteousness of one person, can it really be called righteousness?

If Chen Mo's letter is a questioning that cuts his head and covers his face, it is against the norm, after all, Zang Hong is his teacher, how can there be a student questioning the teacher?

But Chen Mo's letter was asked in the posture of asking for advice, and it is also something that Zang Hong has been teaching Chen Mo, there is no size, but is it really no size?

Zhang Chao's righteousness has been fulfilled, but how can he repay the righteousness of these soldiers, soldiers and civilians under his command to him? And how can the righteousness of these people be fulfilled?

None of the soldiers, soldiers and civilians in the city have surrendered so far, this is Zang Hong's ability, but if these people are willing to die with Zang Hong, then Chen Mo does not believe it, this is against human nature, ants are still stealing life, let alone people?

And in terms of facts, in this matter, it cannot be said that Yuan Shao is at fault.

After Zhong Yun handed out the bamboo slip, he didn't speak again, just waited quietly, what was written on the bamboo slip, he didn't know, but he knew that since this month, Chen Mo's mood was a little low, probably the lord had already guessed some of Dongwuyang's situation.

Thinking of Chen Mo's previous attitude, Zhong Yun sighed.

"Bo Dao...... It's not the original son. Zang Hong put down the bamboo slip, sighed lightly, turned his head to look at Zhong Yundao, "Has he been unhappy lately?" ”

Zhong Yun hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Since I learned about this, the lord has rushed to Luoyang immediately, and since last month, the lord has been a little dull and rarely speaks. ”

"Alas~" Zang Hong closed his eyes, shook his head and sighed: "My fault is also embarrassing for him, Gongxu." ”

"In!" Zang Hong sat down, and one of the strategists stood up and bowed in response.

"Go to see Yuan Shao for me, this war started because of me, Hong is willing to die, I only ask Yuan Gong not to embarrass the soldiers and people in the city." Zang Hong sighed and said.

"Lord!" Chen Rong was shocked when he heard this, and wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Zang Hong.

"Now that I think about it, because of my grievances, thousands of soldiers and people were killed, it is really unjust, since it is wrong, I should be punished." Zang Hong said with a smile.

"Sir!" Zhong Yun hurriedly said: "Sir, you can go back to Luoyang directly with me, Yuan Gong's side, the lord has already explained." ”

"Hanoi?" Zang Hong smiled: "This kid is still a master who doesn't suffer. ”

Others may think that Chen Mo killed Zhang Yang, and then handed over Hanoi to Yuan Shao, but in fact, Zang Hong knows very well that Zhang Yang is just a chess piece in Yuan Shao's hands to contain Chen Mo, Chen Mo has now killed Zhang Yang, seized Hanoi and then gave it to Yuan Shao, which is equivalent to robbing Yuan Shao's things and then giving them to Yuan Shao, and Hanoi is now justifiably in the hands of Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao wants to make any moves, it is to provoke Chen Mo directly, it seems that Chen Mo is thankless, but this matter is equivalent to Yuan Shao suffering a loss. And with Zang Hong's understanding of his disciples, I'm afraid that this Hanoi will not be completely handed over to Yuan Shao, don't think about it all when you population Yuan Shao, Heluo is very short of people now.

"However, there should be a beginning and an end to being a man, I turned my back on Yuan Shao, it was for righteousness, but I rebelled for Yuan Shao, which violated the way of being a minister, and I still need to do it." Zang Hong got up and smiled.

"Then ......" Zhong Yun hesitated for a moment, got up and said, "I'll accompany Mr. next." ”

Chen Mo wants to save Zang Hong, now he goes to Yuan Shao, God knows what will happen, for safety reasons, he should go with him, and at a critical time, he can also say a few words, anyway, Zang Hong, Zhong Yun must bring Chen Mo back.

"I am willing to follow the lord below." Chen Rong also got up and said.

Zang Hong looked at the two of them, his eyes fell on Zhong Yun, nodded and smiled: "Bo Dao's eyes on people are really good. ”

At that moment, Zang Hong asked people to open the city gate and surrender, and he brought shackles to see Yuan Shao.
