Xu Chu didn't plan to go back alive, but now seeing that he was about to die under Liu He's gun, there was no accident, and he didn't even resist anymore, so he closed his eyes and waited for death. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, after waiting for a long time, Liu He's gun was never stabbed out. When he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Hezheng looking at him with a smile on his face, and the spear in his hand had been put away.

"You, what are you laughing at?" Xu Chu was furious when he saw it, and hurriedly asked nervously.

But he saw Liu He and said: "Xu Chu, if I didn't kill you just now, it can be regarded as sparing your life, so it's better for you to be loyal to me in the future." ”

Xu Chu was stunned when he heard this, and then said loudly: "This is impossible, you better kill me, I, Xu Chu, would rather die than surrender!" ”

"Sure enough, he is a loyal and brave person, I like it very much, haha, although you swear not to surrender now, but I believe that sincerity is the golden stone, and sooner or later, you will choose to surrender."

After Liu He finished speaking, he suddenly made a move and used Bi Yan to capture Xu Chusheng, in the process Xu Chu didn't want to resist, but the other party's speed was too fast, so fast that he didn't have time to react.

"Hmph, since I Xu Chu chose to stay, I didn't plan to go back alive, and now I can leave a life, I am already very content, I hope your prison food meets my appetite!"

Seeing that he was captured alive, Xu Chu knew that it was useless for him to resist, so he had to obediently be his own prisoner, and at the same time, there was a faint expectation in his heart, expecting Cao Cao to save him back.

However, at this time, Cao Cao couldn't care about Xu Chu at all, when Dian Wei fought to the death to get out of the encirclement and came to him, his army finally escaped the pursuit of Liyi by fighting to the death, and now he is hiding in Liyang City in a panic, no matter how Yuan Tan asks for help, he has never paid attention.

"Guardian, where's Zhongkang?" Seeing that only Dian Wei escaped from the two major guards under his command, Cao Cao couldn't help but sink in his heart and asked.

I saw Dian Wei kneeling down on his knees, and said with tears in his eyes: "Lord, the last general is incompetent, General Zhongkang chose to stay alone in order to cover the breakthrough of the last general, and it is estimated that they are all ...... now."

"Zhong Kang! It's all because of me that you will encounter misfortune......" Cao Cao was shocked to hear the bad news, and immediately burst into tears, his lips trembled, and his voice choked up.

After nearly a pillar of incense, Cao Cao suddenly stopped his grief, and then said loudly: "I will send someone to Liu He to retrieve Zhongkang's body, and then bury him in a grand manner, and I will also report to the court to pursue him." ”

Later, Cao Cao commended the loyal Dian Wei, promoted him, appeased him, and then summoned all the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures.

After all the civil and military forces arrived, Cao Cao first spoke: "You have also seen it, now Liu He Xiao'er is fierce and wants to sweep Hebei, and we are tired of the army due to continuous battles, so we have been defeated one after another, and even Dian Wei has suffered misfortune...... So far, we have been powerless to prevent him from annexing Hebei, and the next step is to fight or retreat, I wish you all an idea. ”

I saw Cheng Yu speak first: "Lord, according to the plan of the lower officials, let's retreat, just like the lord said, when we fought fiercely with Yuan Shao before, Liu He took the opportunity to develop and strengthen himself, train soldiers, expand the army, and had already secretly prepared to annex Hebei, so he could come so quickly. And our army due to continuous fighting for several months, the army has been exhausted, but also suffered a series of defeats, the soldiers have no will to fight, if forced support, I am afraid that in the end will suffer a greater defeat, so, we might as well retreat to Henan, first annex Xuzhou's Lu Bu and Huainan's Yuan Shu, as long as the Central Plains region is unified, and then concentrate on development, slowly accumulate strength, I believe that one day we will have the strength to confront Liu He. In addition, Liu Hezhiqiang is the head of the princes of the world, we can't face it alone, we need to unite the world's heroes and deal with it together, such as Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Liu Bei in Jingnan, and Yuan Shang in Hebei, don't look at them are very close now, as long as we retreat, the contradiction will break out, and at that time, the lord will take the opportunity to kill back or can't do it, but it is not impossible to fish in troubled waters and get some benefits. ”

At this time, Sima Yi also nodded and said: "What Cheng Gong said is very true, lord, according to the current situation, it is indeed not appropriate for us to stay in Hebei anymore, it is better to take advantage of Liu He's army to conquer Yuan Tan, and go back to Henan directly." ”

Because Xun Yu's internal affairs talent can be replaced in Cao Cao's camp, and his current position in Xu Du is even more peaceful, and it is not suitable to leave for a long time, so after the end of the Guandu War, Cao Cao let Xun Yu return to Xu Capital, and transferred Sima Yi to the northern front.

"Zhicai, what do you think?" Cao Cao looked at the silent Xi Zhicai, and then asked.

But seeing Xi Zhicai said: "Retreat is inevitable, but we can't just leave, now Liyang City is not very far from Yecheng, and Liu He is attacking the plain with all his might, at this time we can disguise ourselves as Liu He's army, earn Yecheng, loot some property talents, and then return to Xudu, so that we can not only obtain the wealth and talents under Yuan Shang's command, but also if Yuan Shang and Liu He can make enemies." It can be a good thing for us to kill two birds with one stone. ”

"Okay, this is a good idea, although we can't get Yecheng, but we can't cheapen Liu He Xiao'er, as long as we seize the treasures and treasures that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang's father and son have worked so hard to accumulate, our trip will not be in vain."

When Cao Cao heard Xi Zhicai's plan, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately ordered the army to get ready, and when it was evening, he sent troops to Yecheng, opened the city gates, plundered the goods and talents, and then left.

However, I didn't expect that when Cao Cao sent a soldier who looked a little similar to Liu He to cheat the city, Yuan Shang did not dare to open the door because of his timidity, until Sima Yi agitated like a spring, advocated the friendship between Liu He and Yuan Shang, and threatened Yuan Tan Xiang to let go if he didn't open the door again, Yuan Shang agreed to open the city gate and enlarge the general's entry.

Cao Cao's army entered the city and immediately looted and slaughtered the city, which made Yuan Shang panic and hurriedly led his generals and his family to flee to Handan.

This led to the Yecheng defenders, who were already in a hurry to fight, even more powerless to resist, only the trial match could be seen at the beginning that the person who came was by no means Liu He's troops, so it was recommended that Yuan Shang not open the door, but unfortunately it was too late when he said this, and when he found Yuan Shang, the city gate had been opened, and Yuan Shang chose to flee without hesitation despite his own dissuasion.

In this case, the trial could only organize the troops in the city to resist, but to the judge's surprise, by the time he organized the resistance, Cao Cao had already led the army to withdraw from Yecheng.

And when the loss was finally counted, the trial was almost fainted, because this time the loss was really amazing, and the other party almost emptied the treasury!

Starting from the old lord Yuan Shao, and even from the original owner of Jizhou, Han Fu, the gold, silver, cloth, grain, salt and iron that had been accumulated for more than ten years were all transported away.

"This, this is simply going to kill us, so how can we support it? Even if Liu He doesn't take the initiative to lead the army to attack, I'm afraid we can only choose to surrender, because the whole army doesn't even have a grain of food, oh my God, is this going to kill my Yuan family? ”

Although he was worried, the trial finally reluctantly accepted the facts, and at the same time chose to report the details to Yuan Shangyu.
