Lu Xiangdao: No, we surrendered because we had to do it for our lives. If Yuan Tan is tied, this is the seller's quest for glory. Although he is not a gentleman, he can't do this kind of thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs. Besides, the seller who seeks glory will not end well.

The brothers remembered that they were only allowed to surrender, and they were not allowed to kill Yuan Tan and his soldiers against the water.

Everyone felt that it was justified that surrender was a last resort. But if you turn around and kill the old master, it is not as good as a pig and a dog.

In the evening, Yuan Tan's mansion, the public rule, what should I do? As you saw today, few of the brothers who defended the city had the confidence to defend the city. I'm afraid someone will open the city and surrender! I went to look for George just now, but he was paying tribute to his father at home. I also knelt for a long time. In this situation, I am worried that someone will sell the lord to seek glory, open the city gate and let the thieves enter the city! We won't be able to run then! Otherwise, let's withdraw!

Guo Tudao: George is telling the lord that he is not willing to withdraw with the lord, and he is willing to guard the spirit of the lord. Childe didn't have to bother him anymore.

I see. Yuan Tan said.

If Childe also feels that he can't hold it anymore and insists on withdrawing, then it's best to spread it tonight! Now that Zhang Jie is not besieging the city, it is not too difficult to withdraw. If someone suddenly opens the city gate during the siege during the daytime tomorrow, it will be difficult for us to leave!

At this time, Yuan Tan hesitated again.

Guo Tu hated iron a little: if he wanted to withdraw, he would have to do it early, or he would plan to defend it. Hesitation is just self-defeating!

Yuan Tan was also afraid of death, and his heart was ruthless, and he said: Good! I'll arrange it now.

But when we withdraw, who will defend the city? It's best to keep it for a few days, so that it will buy us more time. In case Zhang Jie pursues!

Guo Tudao: Let Lu Xiang guard the city! Lu Xiang is still loyal, and he has followed the lord for many years, so he should be able to be trusted.

Yuan Tan Dao: But I still want to take Lu Xiang to Hanzhong?

Guo Tu looked at Yuan Tan like a fool and said: Son, you went to Hanzhong to escape for your life. It's not to seek a comeback, except for Wen Chou, you can't take any more generals to Hanzhong, otherwise Cao Cao will kill you?

Do you think Cao Cao is any different from Zhang Jie? Cao Cao can take you in for the sake of the lord, but he will never let you have any private generals in Hanzhong. Otherwise, you will harm your son. Childe doesn't understand this?

Do you think Cao Cao will take in Gongzi as a guest like Liu Biao took in Liu Bei?

Guo Tu now regrets agreeing to Yuan Shao a little. This Yuan Tan is too self-aware. Sooner or later, he will kill himself.

Yuan Tan said: But if I have only been an idler, how can I avenge my father!

Guo Tudao: Childe still forgets to take revenge! If you insist on revenge, you can only kill yourself. And even if he goes to Hanzhong, even if he annexes Cao Cao, Gongzi asks himself if he can beat Zhang Jie?

After Zhang Jie unified the Central Plains, there was no rival in the world. Going to Hanzhong is just a temporary evasion. It is basically impossible to defeat Zhang Jie. If Gongzi went to Hanzhong, he would only be a rich man. Cao Cao will accept Childe's. If you want to continue to be a party. Then it's better to surrender Zhang Jie! Maybe you can get a place in the history of assassination. But I don't know how long I can do it.

Zhang Jie agreed to assassinate Shi, but he didn't say how long he could do it. Maybe in the end, he still won't let go of Childe.

When Yuan Tan saw Guo Tu say this, his heart was cold again, originally he still wanted to go to Hanzhong to develop slowly, and he also wanted to learn from Liu Bei to live in Jingzhou. In the future, we may be able to make a comeback. But Guo Tu only let himself be an idler, and he never thought about making a comeback at all.

What to do? If Zhang Jie stays, even if he doesn't kill him now, he will kill him in the future, and if he defeats Zhang Jie, he will definitely not let go of Zhang Jie's son.

Yuan Tan thought for a while and said: Okay! Then let's retreat to Hanzhong! I'll arrange for Lu Xiang to guard the city.

After a while, Yuan Tan went to find Lu Xiang in person. Lu Xiang was also startled when he saw Yuan Tan coming to find him. Thinking that Yuan Tan was preparing to open the city, Yuan Tan already knew.

But he still pretended to be serious: I have seen the eldest prince. I don't know what happened to Childe looking for Xiang?

Yuan Tan said: Lu Xiang, I won't tell you anything, I plan to go to Dongpingling to cooperate with Yuan Shang and defeat the Fu Zhi Department first. So as to grasp the initiative.

Lu Xiang thought to himself, you lied to the ghost! If you want to escape, just say it, what kind of attack, who will believe it!

Lu Xiangdao: Does the boy need me to do anything? Please pay it partially.

Yuan Tan said: I hope you can stay and defend the city, hold Zhang Jie for a while, and wait for me to defeat Fu Zhi in Jinan before I fight Zhang Jie inside and outside with you.

Lu Xiangdao: How many soldiers and horses did the son leave for me?

Don't worry about this, I will only take a small number of elite troops to Jinan with General Wen Chou, and leave the rest to you to command. Yuan Tan said.

All right! Since Childe trusts the last general so much, Xiang must guard the city. It's just that there are many generals and generals left by Gongzi, and the last general is afraid that they will not accept the management of the last general!

This is easy to do, I'll give you the Qingzhou Mu Seal Ribbon. If anyone dares to disobey the order, you can be court-martialed. Yuan Tan said.

In this way, the general will thank the son. Please rest assured. The last general will let Zhang Jie meet in the city of drama and break the bloodstream.

Good! Then please General Lu. Yuan Tan said.

Lu Xiang knew that Yuan Tan was going to run away, so it was okay. In this way, Kaesong can be safely surrendered, and more soldiers will not be killed or wounded.

That night, Yuan Tan found Gao Gan and other henchmen, and finally decided to break through and go to Huang County.

Gao Gan (Zi Yuancai), a little reluctant, said: Zhang Jie is just trying to attack the city today. Our soldiers are no less than them, so why are we in such a hurry to withdraw.

Yuan Tan said: Cousin didn't see that there seemed to be tens of thousands of horses in the city, but the soldiers were frightened? Today, Zhang Jie just started to attack the city, which caused this situation. If you attack it once or twice, someone will definitely open the city and surrender.

My father died, and the morale of the soldiers was low. If a soldier has no fighting spirit, he will have no courage. Although there are tens of thousands of people, you and I can count how these people were recruited. Nine times out of ten, they were arrested. In such a situation, if you do not evacuate, you will only be captured.

Ay! I'm worried that many officials and generals in the city will rebel and join the enemy if they are greedy for life and death!

Cousin, if others fall into the hands of Zhang Jie, they may still be able to survive. But our brother Zhang Jie will not let it go. My father told my younger brother that I should take my brothers and their families to Hanzhong to join Cao Cao. Now this situation is really forced to go to Hanzhong.

I also asked my cousin to go with me and stay, the younger brother estimated that the city would be broken in a few days. I won't be able to leave if I want to!

Gao Gan thought for a moment and said: Xianfu (Yuan Shang) What about them? If we withdraw, Xianfu will be even more dangerous.

Yuan Tan Dao: After we withdraw, I will send someone to tell him and ask them to withdraw to Huangxian as well. Let's go together.

Gao Gan saw that Yuan Tan had no heart to defend the city at all. He was disappointed, but he also knew that it was impossible to hold the city for long. If you can't hold it, why send you to die here!
