In the chaotic army, Shi Wansui captured Yuan's general Li Tong again, Yuan's army surrendered, and the army of the Demon King of the Mixed World was defeated.

Subsequently, Qin Yan personally persuaded Li Xiucheng and Li Tong to surrender, and these two also knew that Yuan Shu and Hong Xiuquan had no future, so they surrendered to Qin Yan.

Sun Jian also surrendered Zhang Jian and his men.

……

The next day, Qin Yan, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian's three-way army attacked Shouchun City.

In the city, Ji Ling and other generals of the Yuan army commanded the generals to defend to the death, not daring to fight, only hoping that the army would come far away, which was not conducive to a long battle, and wanted to wait for everyone to run out of food and withdraw by themselves.

Cao Cao's army had the most soldiers, a total of more than 150,000 people, the consumption of rations was large, and there was not much grain and grass in the army, Cao Cao discussed with everyone for a long time, and decided to borrow 100,000 Hu from Sun Jian, and Qin Yan also gave 150,000 Hu, Cao Cao was a little better.

However, in the next few days, Cao Cao's military camp actually used Xiaohu to distribute grain, and this time the army's heart was suddenly unstable.

Qin Yan knew that Cao Cao was about to borrow the head of the grain supervisor to shirk his responsibilities and boost morale.

Sure enough, two days later, a head was hung up in Cao's big tent, and Cao Cao claimed that it was the corruption of the grain supervisor that caused the shortage of grain and grass, so he was beheaded.

After Cao Cao killed the grain and grass officials, he ordered the generals of each battalion and said: "If you don't break the city within three days, you will be beheaded!" ”

So Cao Cao personally went to the city and supervised the troops to move soil and stones, and fill in the trenches.

The arrows and stones on the city are like rain, there are two generals who are afraid to return, Cao Cao drew his sword and personally cut down the city, and then dismounted to pick up the soil and fill the pit.

So the big and small soldiers all moved forward, the military prestige was greatly inspired, the city could not resist the enemy, Cao soldiers rushed to the city first, cut the pass and locked, and the brigade swarmed in.

In the chaotic army, Cao Kerangsheng captured Li Feng and Chen Ji, Han Hao, Ji Ling, Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan captured Le and Liang Gang respectively, and the strategist Yuan Jian was also captured by Du Yansheng in the chaotic army, and Cao Cao surrendered these people due to the lack of generals and strategists under his command.

At this time, the palace in Shouchun City was already in chaos, and the sounds of eunuchs and palace maids fleeing were everywhere.

And the military generals of Wenchen are all six gods and no masters, only the Zhong Emperor Yuan Shu was not surprised, and sat on his throne steadily, holding the heirloom jade seal in his hand and watching it stupidly.

"Your Majesty, Ji Ling and other thieves have surrendered to the enemy, and now Cao Cao's men and horses have killed the palace, please stay away for the time being!" At this time, a small soldier of the Yuan army hurried back to the noisy hall and reported to the Zhong Emperor.

"Avoid? Where to avoid? Yuan Shu suddenly laughed, very penetrating.

Yuan Shu knew very well in his heart that even if he fought his way out of the encirclement, there were enemy troops on all sides.

The eastern and western counties were all taken by Qin Yan, and Yuan Shu had no way to retreat.

At this time, the shouting of killing was getting closer and closer, Yuan Shu got up and looked, and then walked out of the main hall, and there were still a few of his officials following.

"Lord, Cao Cao's army is already attacking the palace, and Sun Jian has already passed, let's hurry up!" Just as Xuzhou's army had just entered the city, Shi Wanbao, the younger brother of Shi Wansui, who had been promoted by Qin Yan to support General Kou, hurriedly reported to Qin Yanyu.

"Of course, by the way, what's going on over there in the treasury?" Qin Yan hurriedly asked.

"Cao Cao has taken it, and his subordinates are carrying grain." Shi Wanbao looked a little depressed.

Then he sighed: "Yuan Shu really has accumulated enough food, I knew that we wouldn't lend it to Cao Cao." ”

"Wanbao, now it's over." Qin Yan can see it very openly, anyway, they are not short of money and food now.

"Hey, what's the fire over there?" At this time, one of Qin Yan's personal soldiers pointed to the thick smoke rising in the distance.

Everyone looked, and sure enough, thick smoke was rising from the west.

"It's Yuan Shu's palace!" Shi Wanbao was a little surprised, he came from there just now.

"It seems that Yuan Shu is killing himself!" Qin Yan muttered, and then sighed.

"Forget it, he's dead." Qin Yan looked at the smoking and burning palace, and didn't say anything except muttering a few words in his heart.

As for Cao Cao, seeing Yuan Shu raising a fire, he hurriedly ordered to stop the attack, but he didn't put out the fire, because this forbidden palace was originally going to be burned down.

It's just that if there is a soldier of Yuan who surrenders, he will receive it directly.

In fact, it was true, seeing that the palace was on fire, Yuan Shujun also began to surrender gradually.

By the afternoon, basically the entire Shouchun City had been controlled by the princes of the Three Roads, and Yuan Shu and dozens of his henchmen had all died.

The rest of the important ministers of the puppet Zhong court were killed, captured, and some surrendered.

Cao Cao, an important minister who did not surrender, ordered all of them to be beheaded in the downtown area.

As for the remaining 50,000 troops guarding Shouchun, in addition to those killed in battle and burned in the palace, the three coalition forces also captured nearly 30,000 prisoners in total.
