When Luo Jun entered the city, the soldiers in the city were divided into two factions, among which the surrender faction led by Yuan Lian, the Gongcao of Chen County, and his younger brother Yuan Min advocated defecting to Yuan Shu, because Yuan Jian was born in the Yuan clan of Chen State and came from the same source as the Yuan clan of Runan, while the resistance faction led by Liang Xi, the county governor of Chen County, resolutely opposed surrendering to Yuan Shu, because they believed that it was Yuan Shu who sent people to assassinate King Chen, and as a subordinate of King Chen, how could they be thieves?

Yuan Jian and others insisted that there was no evidence to prove that Yuan Shu sent someone to kill King Chen, and perhaps someone else assassinated King Chen.

Just when the two sides were arguing, Luo Jun entered the city under the escort of Pei Qing, immediately announced a policy of resolute non-surrender, and ordered the whole army to be on alert to meet Yuan Shu.

As for the fact that Yuan Shu could not prove that Yuan Shu sent someone to assassinate King Chen, Luo Jun proposed that since Yuan Shu sent troops to Chen County as soon as King Chen was assassinated, it would prove that he was the instigator behind the scenes, or at least an insider.

At the same time, Luo Jun announced in public that he had invited rescuers from Pei Qing, the assassin of Yuzhou, and believed that everyone would be able to repel Yuan Shu with one heart and one mind.

Yuan Jian and others finally stopped mentioning the matter of surrender, in fact, although they were committed to Yuan Shu, but this was also a helpless move, even Yuan Jian knew what kind of person Yuan Shu was, and his family was in Chen State, if he really defected like this, his family would definitely suffer a disaster, but he still had no confidence in Pei Qing, in his opinion, Yuan Shu had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, although Pei Qing was good at fighting, but there were only 6,000 people under his command, even if he added 20,000 people in the city, he still occupied a disadvantage compared with Yuan Shu, and Chen Wang died new, People's hearts are uncertain, how easy is it to keep Chen County?

"I'll just sit on the sidelines and see if you can hold on in the end? If I can keep it, I don't need to say anything, I also hope that Chen Guo can be stable, but if I can't hold it, I can only take refuge in Yuan Shu's family. ”

Yuan Jian secretly made up his mind and decided to continue waiting.

Pei Qing passed through Luo Jun's mouth, of course he knew that there was the role of Yuan Lian, but he was not wary of the other party, after all, the other party was just a small gongcao, he did not control the military power, and he was still a literati, what ability could he have with Yuan Shu to secretly communicate with him, and he should cooperate with him inside and out?

And of course Yuan Shu didn't put Yuan Shu of the same clan in his eyes, in fact, with Yuan Shu's arrogance, even his brother Yuan Shao couldn't look down on him, let alone a little Yuan Shu? He believed that with the current chaos in Chen County, as long as his troops came to the city, the soldiers in Chen County would surrender without a fight and open the city gate to welcome him.

It's just that Yuan Shu didn't know that Pei Qing had already rushed into Chen County in his head first.

Then Yuan Shu triumphantly shouted to the city: "I am the left general Yuan Shu, you must have heard my name, now I led an army of 100,000 to come to Chen State, you and other soldiers are outnumbered, resistance is useless, I understand the virtue of God's good life, so I am willing to stay and wait for a life, of course, the premise is that you must surrender to me, as long as you are willing to surrender, I will not only guarantee your life, but also let you and others keep their old positions, if it is more active, I will also reward it for their merits, and then add officials to the knight, At the same time, why not enjoy the abundant rewards? ”

At this time, I saw a person shouting at the head of the city: "General Zuo is invited, the next official is Chen Guo Fule Yuan Lian, the word Yaoqing, my father Yuan Peng, the lower official is not Xiao, Xi is Chen County Gongcao, I have heard the name of General Zuo for a long time, like thunder, today I have no owner of Chen Guo, General Zuo came at the right time, and General Zuo has already prepared cattle wine to wait for General Zuo, and also invited General Zuo and the soldiers to enter the city to rest. ”

Yuan Shu heard this and immediately said happily: "Shu Su heard that Chen Guo Yuan's family is my same sect, the same source, it is a blessing to see today, since Yao Qing is so sincerely invited, Shu is naturally disrespectful, haha, Yao Qing's work today I will keep in mind, and after pacifying Pei Pseudo in the future, I will definitely ask the court for Yao Qing's credit." ”

Yuan Shu was very happy, seeing that the city gate was wide open and the drawbridge was lowered, he hurriedly rushed to the front and led his troops to prepare to enter the city.

At this time, I saw Yuan Shu's adviser Yan Xiang said: "Lord, the opponent's army is in order, and there is no panic in the voice of the caller, it doesn't look like he is sincerely obedient, there must be fraud in it, and the lord must not easily enter the city, so as not to fall into the enemy's tricks." ”

Yuan Shu laughed and said: "He is a member of my clan, and he has long been looking forward to my entry into the city, so he will naturally not panic after seeing me, as for the strict appearance of the army on the head of the city, it must be because my fellow clan has successfully collected these soldiers under his command, why should Lord Yan be suspicious?" ”

However, Yan Xiang said solemnly: "The son of a daughter, if you don't sit down, even if the other party is sincere to surrender, the lord doesn't have to charge in front in person, in case something happens, it's too late to even dodge, not to mention that the lord sent a large army into the city, and the lord walked slowly behind, which made it even more majestic and not lighthearted." ”

"This makes some sense", Yuan Shu said to himself, and then ordered his subordinates Chen Lan and Lei Bo to lead 5,000 troops each into the city first, creating a relatively large pomp, so that when he entered the city, he would naturally cause a strong deterrent to the other party.

Chen Lan and Lei Bo naturally obeyed the order when they heard this, and they didn't believe that there was anyone in Chen Guo who was so blind after Liu Chong's death and dared to make any changes at this time, so the two of them led the army into the city with a high spirit.

However, what was unexpected was that just when their army had just entered the city, there were five or six thousand men, and suddenly a deafening sound of military drums was heard from inside the city, followed by countless crossbow arrows flying towards them.

Due to the open terrain at the gate of the city, there was no place to hide, Chen Lan and Lei Bo's soldiers suffered many casualties in the rain of arrows, only to hear the sound of screams endlessly, many soldiers fell in pools of blood, a pair of eyes widened, to death could not believe that they died here.

Chen Lan and Lei Bo were the first to react when they heard the sound of drums, although they were in the front row, but at the critical moment, they each quickly grabbed a soldier in front of them, and then struggled to retreat, and shouted loudly: "Hurry back, hurry back, you have fallen for the trick of the dog thief, there is an ambush in the city." ”

In fact, there were many soldiers outside the city who entered the city one after another, but they did not expect that their robes were slaughtered in the city, so the two sides were congested in the city gate cave, unable to enter or exit, and those Yuan soldiers who had not yet had time to enter the city gate cave became the other party's live target, and they all screamed and fell.

By the time the soldiers of the Yuan army outside the city reacted and hurriedly retreated, Chen Lan and Lei Bo's soldiers who entered the city had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and there were two or three thousand casualties in just one meal, which was definitely the fastest casualty of Yuan Shu since the battle.

At this time, I could only hear a general at the head of the city shouting loudly: "The ghost Yuan Highway in the middle of the road, can you recognize me Pei Qing?" You assassinated King Chen with despicable means, and even dared to lead an army to invade the Kingdom of Chen, it is really hateful, this time I will give you a small lesson, if you come again next time, you will definitely take your head to sacrifice King Chen! ”

Yuan Shu didn't expect that Pei Qing had already arrived in advance, he immediately understood what was going on, and scolded at the city: "Pei Qing little ghost, don't be complacent, this time I am not defeated in your hands, but gullible!" ”

Then Yuan Shu scolded at the head of the city: "Yuan Lian, I really didn't expect you to dare to lie to me, although we are of the same clan, but don't let me catch you, otherwise, once you fall into my hands one day, you will definitely be dismantled, cramps and bones, in order to vent my hatred!" ”

Yuan Shu scolded loudly, and at the same time ordered the withdrawal of troops in the midst of the generals, and hurriedly led the troops away.
