No one spoke...

"Don't speak, do you? Okay, let's see if it's your hard mouth or my big knife. Wait until I pry your mouth open. Wei Yan held a knife in one hand and killed the nearest civil official.

"Report..." A soldier ran in and said, "General, the family members in the house have been controlled, please send the general." ”

Wei Yan instructed: "Go and ask the people in the mansion, which is Cao Cao's son, and bring it to me." ”

"No."

The soldier walked away quickly.

"Wait, wait..." Xun Yu exclaimed: "The general must not be angry, he has something to say." ”

"Who are you?"

"Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu."

"Oh... I know you. You are Cao Cao's confidant and adviser, in charge of the affairs of Xu Du, and you will definitely be able to mobilize the army in the city. I'll give you an hour to get all the troops in the city gone. Otherwise, every half hour, I will kill someone. It starts with Cao Cao's family. ”

Xun Yu said: "The generals are like gods, brave and invincible, and they are the heroes of the world. If the general is willing to surrender, he will protect the general under his wishes, command 100,000 troops, and stay in Xiliang forever. ”

"It's a big temptation." Wei Yan was indeed a little tempted. thinks that since his debut, he has been squeezed out by Cai Mao and suspected by Lu Bu, and he is destined to have a hard time. If you can take refuge in Cao Cao and shepherd the side, it will be a good choice.

"The general knows that the prime minister selects the best and uses the energy..."

"Shut up!"

After Wei Yanyu came back to his senses for a while, he said: "Xun Wenruo, you are so bold, you are dying, and you dare to persuade you to surrender." Do you think I, Wei Yan, will betray the lord for some benefit? ”

"Now the entire city of Xu Capital is in my hands, and I give an order, and your family members, Cao Cao's family, are dead and have no place to be buried. I advise you not to resist and cooperate with me. ”

"Report..." Captain Yu Yu ran into the lobby and arched his hand: "General, the enemy has chariots and bed crossbows, and the brothers are almost unable to withstand it." ”

"It's only been a long time, and I can't stand it?"

"General, you can quickly think of a way." Yu Yu didn't have time to say more, and looked anxious.

The officials in the hall were secretly happy.

The soldiers and horses of the Xudu military camp have a large number of chariots, bed crossbows, and thunderbolts, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, once they rush out, they will be able to destroy Wei Yan and his enemy troops entering the city, and they will also be saved at that time.

"General Ben asks again, who is going to transfer troops?" Wei Yan turned his gaze to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was unmoved.

Puff puff...

Wei Yan had already run out of patience, and did not hesitate to kill four or five civil officials. But he didn't dare to touch Xun Yu, because Xun Yu was a big man and had to be handed over to Lu Bu for disposal.

Xun Yu closed his eyes.

"Old horseman, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" Wei Yan's eyes were like knives, and he was about to slash.

Liu Ye, Chen Qun and others were shocked: "Lord Xun... Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, let's retreat first. ”

"Shut up! The prime minister handed over Xu Du to me, how could he back down because he was afraid of death? Xun Yu looked at Wei Yan and said coldly: "It's easy for you to kill me, but it is difficult to escape being surrounded and killed by the army in the city, Xu Du is still Xu Du, you can't take it." ”

At this time, the soldiers escorted Cao Cao's sons Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and others to the lobby.

Wei Yan withdrew his long knife and slashed at Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi was nearly two years old, and he couldn't even stand steadily, so he met the sharp blade and sat on the ground with his buttocks: "Wow, wow, wow..." ”

"Stop!"

Xun Yu finally relented, took out the tiger talisman, and handed it to Wei Yan.

"Hahaha... The lord is right, you literati, you are sour and hateful! If you take it out early, you won't have to die. ”

Wei Yan handed over the tiger talisman to Xiahou Ba and ordered him to lead his army out of the city.

However, they were not allowed to carry weapons, armor, or food, and after leaving the city, they were not allowed to turn back until they headed west. If you don't do it, you will kill the Xiahou family.

Xiahou Ba was frightened and ordered to go.

In fact, Wei Yan's initial idea was to surrender the Cao army in Xudu City, so that he could strengthen his army. But it immediately occurred to me that the enemy troops who stayed in Xudu were all brave men loyal to Cao Cao. Once you fail to submit, you will betray you, and the outcome is unpredictable. He simply drove them all away, as long as he could control Xu Du and the officials of the imperial court, it would be done.

In the winter of the fourth year of Jian'an, Xu Du was attacked by Wei Yanqi and accidentally fell. The big and small officials in the city, the families of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, should be captured and detained in the prison.

Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, was also detained in the palace and cut off contact with the outside world.

Xiahou Ba led 20,000 people, without weapons, armor, and food, and retreated to Chenliu in disarray.

In a few days, Xu Ducheng was stormy, wars were frequent, a large number of private soldiers of the family gathered to rebel, and were suppressed by Wei Yan with iron and blood, and all those who participated in the rebellion, regardless of the poor and rich businessmen, were all killed.

The 6,000 light cavalry brought by Wei Yan suffered more than half of the casualties in the process of suppressing the family. If it weren't for the follow-up of more than 40,000 soldiers and horses to arrive and stabilize the situation, I am afraid that the Xu Capital City that I had just occupied would be taken away by the family again.

Jizhou.

Assassin's House.

Yuan Shao knew about the Great War in the Central Plains, and discussed with his civil and military forces about the strategy of marching.

Xu You and Guo Tu suggested that Yuan Shao send troops to Xuzhou.

Fu Zhu advised Yuan Shao to capture Yanzhou first, and then Si Li, dividing Cao Cao's territory into two.

Tian Feng disagreed, and suggested that Yuan Shao stay still and recuperate.

Three different ideas converged on Yuan Shao, which made Yuan Shao very embarrassed.

this day.

Regular pilgrimage meetings.

Yuan Shao took the throne and said: "The Central Plains War, a rare encounter in a hundred years, I am determined to send troops to capture Yanzhou, or capture Xuzhou." You can speak freely, is it good to attack Yanzhou? Or is it better to be in Xuzhou? ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was tantamount to rejecting Tian Feng's suggestion.

Tian Feng sighed: "From the first year of Chuping to the fourth year of Jian'an, several northern states have been frequent, and the lord has fought with Han Fu, Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yan, Wuhuan and other races. Now that the armies of all walks of life have just withdrawn from Beiping, it is time to recuperate, and it is really not appropriate to mobilize too many troops and throw them into the Central Plains. It's better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for the vitality of the princes from all walks of life to be greatly damaged.... ”

Without waiting for Tian Feng to finish speaking, Yuan Shao said: "Yuan Hao doesn't need to say any more, my mind has been decided." ”

"My lord..."

Tian Feng still wanted to persuade again, but Xu You sneered: "What Yuan Hao said is a child's opinion, and the lord must not listen to it. As the lord said, the Central Plains War is a once-in-a-century event, so how can you miss the opportunity? ”

"The minister suggested that the lord should transfer and merge, You, Hebei, and Qingdao, with 150,000 soldiers and horses each, to level Xuzhou, connect Xuzhou and Qingzhou together, and enhance the ability of our army to fight in the Central Plains. After Cao Cao and Lu Bu finished fighting, they watched the battle situation and waited for the opportunity to move. Or destroy Cao, or destroy Lu, the lord will be invincible. ”
