But if Zhang Jie surrounds the four gates, we won't have a place to escape! Yuan Tan said.

Guo Tu glanced at Yuan Tan and thought to himself, why are you so afraid of death! How can he be Yuan Benchu's son. In history, this guy finally surrendered to Cao Cao and beat his younger brother Yuan Shang, which shows how poor his vision is and how narrow-minded he is

Don't worry, Zhang Jie only has 40,000 horses, if the city is besieged, we can also stand out. Rest assured!

And at this time, the frustration was also very helpless. Knowing that Zhang Jie was already near Beihai, he had no progress in Dongpingling except for taking Pingyuan County. In fact, Pingyuan County can only be regarded as half a county. Because the part north of the Yellow River was originally Zhang Jie's territory.

The seat of Jinan (county) is located in Dongpingling. But Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, was in Dongpingling. And the second son, Yuan Xi, stayed in Linzi, Qi State.

Yuan Shao's three sons are actually the most capable of Yuan Shang. But in history, Yuan Shao passed the throne to Yuan Shang, and I don't know whether it was true or fake.

Huang Zhi said to him: "Military advisor, we only have 30,000 people now, and Yuan Shang still has nearly 20,000 in the city. This Dongping Tomb is really difficult to break, so it's better for us not to fight first, and go directly to Linzi.

Frustrated: No. Yuan Shao is dead. Ma Teng's soldiers invaded Luoyang, and the lord sent someone to let us send 20,000 troops to solve the crisis. What does this mean? It shows that the lord himself does not plan to go to Luoyang. Then the lord must have come straight to Qingzhou. And the target is definitely Beihai Drama County.

If we withdraw our troops to Linzi, then Yuan Shang will withdraw the 20,000 horses in this city to reinforce Juxian. At that time, the pressure on the lord's side will be even greater. In the first battle of Tancheng, the lord wiped out Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000. Surely it is also a heavy casualty. But the lord's temperament is not to force captives to join our army. It must be a toll to let him go.

There are more than 100,000 people in Xuzhou. How many more people do you think he can come to the North Sea? The old man estimated that it would be good to have half, or even less. So we have to hold Yuan Shang down here. Even if you can't capture Dongpingling. can't let them run to the drama county.

The last general understands, but it's not a way for us to drag it out so much! Why don't we let people shout, just say that Yuan Shao is dead, and let them surrender? Believe it or not, the defenders in the city can at least demoralize the other side. Huang Zhidao.

What you said also makes sense, but at this time, Yuan Shang should have received the news of Yuan Shao's death. After all, Yuan Shao is a candidate respected by the lord. If you let the soldiers use Yuan Shao's death to hype it up. That's a bit unauthentic. And people are already dead, and they are still being used? The deceased is great, just forget it, and the lord won't like us to do this. He replied. It can be seen that Frustration is too honest.

At this time, Yuan Shanggang in the city received a report from Yuan Tan, saying that his father died in Tancheng. And told him that if he couldn't hold it anymore, he would go to the North Sea. Historically, the two brothers fought for the throne. And now the situation is a hundred times more dangerous than it was in history.

Historically, after the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's strength was greatly damaged. But Cao Cao didn't have much of an advantage. If it weren't for the Yuan brothers' internal coaxing, Cao Cao wanted to seize Hebei, and I don't know when!

Yuan Shang commented to Xing: My eldest brother wants me to withdraw to Beihai. Nakaji (lucky comment): What do you say? Now my father has died. Although we kept it a secret from the soldiers, I am afraid that the frustration will make people shout and spread the news of my father's death everywhere. This is too much of a morale blow.

Fortunately, he commented: The third prince can rest assured, he will not let people shout. I had a relationship with this man when I was in Yecheng. He is an upright person and has the style of a gentleman. It is by no means a despicable and shameless person who has fallen into the well with malice. He will not use the death of his lord to discourage the morale of our army. It's just that Zhang Jie's army may have reached Beihai. What I'm worried about now is whether the Grand Duke will be able to hold the county.

If the eldest prince can't keep the drama county. So what's the point of us sticking here?

Ay! Now that we only have more than 20,000 people here, it is very difficult to defend the city, how can we take care of the big brother's side!

Why don't you send a few soldiers to the drama county to have a look, and by the way, ask the eldest son, can you hold the city? Is it to withdraw all the people and horses of the second son in Linzi to the drama county? to increase strength.

Good! Just according to Nakaji's words. While the city is not besieged now, I will immediately send someone to the drama county.

In Xixian County, Zhang Jie's 40,000 troops have come to the city. Yuan Tan ordered people to close the four doors.

Zhang Jie did not attack the city. They camp only outside the city. Zhang Jie has been thinking in his heart that Yuan Tan has surrendered to Cao Cao in history, which means that this guy is afraid of death. Now that this situation is going to make Yuan Tan surrender, it would be great.

Zhang Jiedao: Who wants to go to Juxian County to see Yuan Tan? Everyone was silent!

Zhang Jie said: Zhong Ming, please go to the city and meet Yuan Tan. Just say that as long as he is willing to surrender, I can let him be the assassin of Qingzhou. Jie once promised Yuan Shao that he would not harm his family members. You go and tell Yuan Tan, I promise to speak! As long as you surrender, anything can be discussed!

Yang Hong is very afraid of death. Dao: My lord, although Yuan Shao committed suicide, it has something to do with us. If Hong enters the city, Yuan Tan will kill Hong directly! Hong doesn't want to die yet, and wants to wait for the lord for a few more years. Why don't we go?

Zhang Jie said with a smile: The two armies do not fight each other, this is a rule that has existed since ancient times. Don't worry, Yuan Tan didn't have the courage to kill you. If Yuan Tan dares to kill you, I will slaughter the drama county and bury you with it.

The reason why Jie let you go is mainly because you have worked under Yuan Shu's account. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are brothers after all. It's easier for Yuan Tan to accept it if you go to persuasion.

Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Yang Hongdao: Lord, before Yuan Shao died, I want you not to forget what you said in Yangwu?

Oh! This was when he was outside Yangwu City, and Jie promised Yuan Shao not to hurt his family. You were in the Black Nest at the time. Wen He, Yuan Hao, they all know this.

Yang Hong knew that Zhang Jie would let him go, and he should not let him die. All right! Hiroshi is going! Yang Hongdao.

At that moment, Yang Hong came to the city gate alone with a small white flag, shouting, don't let go of arrows. I want to see you Yuan Tan Gongzi.

The general guarding the tower at the city gate is Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan. is also Yuan Tan's cousin, who escaped after the decisive battle of Tancheng. And not captured.

Gao Gan saw that there was only one person, and he was dressed as a scribe, and he was not followed by any army.

Dao: Kaesong let him in.

After a while, the city gate was half opened and Yang Hong was allowed to enter the city.

Gao Gandao: Who are you? What did Zhang Jie send you for?

Yang Hongdao: Who is under the feet? I want to see Yuan Tan Gongzi.

A certain is a high-level cadre. You are waiting here, and I have already sent someone to report to my son. After a while, I will see that Childe will not see you.

After a while, Yuan Tan received a request from Zhang Jie to send Yang Hong to see him. Ask Guo Tu, Xingbi. To see or not to see?

Xing Bidao: Yang Hong was once the long history of Yuan Shu, did Zhang Jie send him to persuade him to surrender? It doesn't hurt to see it down.
