Chapter 169: Give Them a Step

Yuan Xu drove the murderous corpse to attack Shouchun, and Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Yuan led 10,000 Cao troops earlier, intending to take advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly attack.

Before they could do anything, they were attacked by the carcasses of wild beasts on the mountain.

More than 10,000 Cao troops suffered many casualties, and some escaped.

More Cao troops were surrounded and became captives of dead beasts.

When Yuan Xu and the others came, Sun Guan was still persuading the servants to surrender.

Since capturing them, Cao Ren and the others have no intention of surrendering at all.

And no wonder they are.

They and Cao Cao are all relatives, and Cao Cao treats them well.

If only one person had been captured, he might have been able to convince.

The three generals were captured at the same time, and none of them refused to surrender to Yuan Xu first, losing their reputation.

Knowing that Yuan Xu was coming, Sun Guan came out of the tent: "I've seen Gongzi." ”

"How?" Yuan Xu asked him: "The three of them still refuse to surrender?" ”

Sun Guan replied: "No matter what you say, you just don't let go." They all have a kinship with Cao Cao, and they want them to surrender, but I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”

"If I catch them, I can't help them." Yuan Xu ordered: "You come with me." ”

After Cao Ren and the others were captured, only Zang Ba and Sun Guan took turns to persuade them to surrender, and Yuan Xu never showed up in person.

When Yuan Xu came suddenly, everyone was a little surprised, and subconsciously stood up.

"Don't be nervous, three generals." Yuan Xu pressed his hand on them: "Sit down and talk." ”

The servant did not sit down, but looked at him vigilantly.

Cao Ren asked, "Yuan Xianxin, what do you want?" ”

"What?" Yuan Xu pretended not to understand what he meant at all: "When the general asked like this, he confused me." ”

"What does it mean to capture us, kill us or not, and let us go?" Cao Ren had the courage to ask.

"Put?" Yuan Xu asked him with a surprised face: "If the three captured the enemy generals, would they let them go easily?" ”

was speechless when he asked, and Cao Ren didn't say anything more.

Cao Hong interjected: "Since you don't let go, you should kill ...... after all"

"Isn't it good to be alive?" The expression on Yuan Xu's face was even more surprised: "The three generals are so dignified, why do they want to die?" ”

"In your hands, do we still have a way to live?" Cao Hong frowned.

He and Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan all have the same opinion.

was captured by Yuan Xu, and there were only two roads in front of him.

One is to surrender to Yuan Xu and be an enemy of Cao Cao from now on.

The second is to be killed by Yuan Xu, at most he will become a murderous corpse and rush to the city.

Even if he chooses the second one, it is much better than being an enemy of Cao Cao when he was alive.

"The three generals are all talents, and I am not willing to kill them easily." Yuan Xu shook his head: "My purpose is actually quite simple, that is, to vote for the three of them." ”

"Ever since Lord Chen Liu's recruitment, we have made up our minds." Xiahou Yuan said: "No matter what, you must follow the lord." ”

"What if he dies?" Yuan Xu suddenly asked.

Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.

Yuan Xu asked again: "The three generals, do they also want to follow him to die together?" ”

"Why not?" Cao Ren replied stiffly: "It is our honor to follow the lord. ”

"You are glorious, what about your wife and children?" Yuan Xu said: "For Cao Cao's funeral, I will definitely not take care of your wife and children." If they have some ability, they can survive the troubled times. If you are incapable, you can only be bullied by others, so that you will eventually die. ”

"Yuan Xianxin, what do you want?" Cao Hong couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible to attack orphans and widows?" ”

"I'm not that shameless." Yuan Xu immediately denied it: "I'm talking about the troubled times, without your protection, they can't survive at all." ”

"When we joined the Lord, we made a vow." Xiahou Yuan said: "No matter what, it won't be ......."

"I'm asking about Cao Mengde's death." Yuan Xu said: "He is still alive, and several generals don't need to pay attention to me." ”

Cao Ren and the others looked at Yuan Xu blankly.

After being stunned for a moment, Cao Ren asked him, "What do you mean......?"

"I'm attacking Huainan." Yuan Xu replied: "It has been more than ten days now, and our army has not broken through the city until now. The three generals might as well make a bet with me. ”

"Bet on what?" Cao Ren asked.

"Bet on whether I can break Shouchun." Yuan Xu said: "If I win Shouchun, the three of them will be cast under the account." If I don't take it, I'll let you go back to Cao Mengde. ”

"Is that true?" Xiahou Yuan's face was innocent.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong both glanced at him, and he realized that the question was inappropriate.

Yuan Xu drove the murderous corpse to besiege Shouchun.

There are countless murderous corpses, although there are many defenders in Shouchun, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

Once this bet is placed, they are destined to lose in the end.

"How?" The servants stopped talking, and Yuan Xu asked.

Cao Ren thought for a while and said to him: "As long as the city is broken, we are willing to serve." As for the lord, if he can live, I hope he will not be forced to die. ”

"The three generals are affectionate and righteous to Cao Mengde, how can I not agree." Yuan Xu smiled: "As long as Cao Mengdeken surrenders, I will leave him a way to live." ”

When he left the tent where the servants were being held, Yuan Tan, who was following behind and witnessed the whole process, asked, "The servants have fallen into the hands of Xianxin, why do you want to bet with them?" ”

"I'm just giving them a step." Yuan Xu replied: "So I refused to work, just because the servants took care of their love with Cao Cao." Neither of them will surrender to me in front of the other two. They know very well that this attack on Shouchun and the fall of the city are already a certainty. Cao Cao has come to an end, could it be that they really want to die with him? ”

"Xianxin really plans to spare Cao Cao?" Yuan Tan reminded: "He is ambitious as a wolf, and he has deep roots. Those who want to use him cannot ......"

"Of course I do." Yuan Xu replied: "Cao Cao must not stay, but since I promised the servants, I will not let him die at my hands." ”

"I wonder what Xianxin's plans are?" Yuan Tan was completely stunned.

He couldn't understand what Yuan Xu was going to do next.

Yuan Xu smiled at him: "When the city is breached, the eldest brother will understand." ”

He refused to explain, and Yuan Tan couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only return to the place where he watched the battle with a stomach full of doubts.

The siege of the city became more and more ferocious.

The flames raged under the city walls, and countless murderous corpses were burned to powder in them.

The burning flame can't completely burn the bones to ashes.

Flames can burn bones to brittle.

The fierce corpse in the flames, after the bones are carbonized, the movement is slightly larger, and it will be scattered all over the ground, becoming debris that is no longer threatening.

Looking at the murderous corpse that was engulfed by the flames, Yuan Tan, Zang Ba and Sun Guan all showed anxiety on their faces.

Yuan Xu looked calm and relaxed, as if he was just here to play, and the battle didn't have much to do with him.
