The war has passed, but the atmosphere of sadness still hangs over the Shangguan Mansion.

Compared with other large families in Dingxiang County, the Shangguan clan is not bad, after all, the last defenders of Dingxiang County are concentrated in Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Mansion was not completely captured by the Guangming Army, and before that, Shangguan Hongbo also summoned most of the Shangguan clan people to Shangguan Mansion, although because the Guangming Army besieged Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Mansion finally left less than a quarter of the area that was not captured by the Guangming Army, and there were still a lot of Shangguan clan people alive in this quarter of the area, even if these clansmen were only old, weak, sick and disabled, They are also the hope of the Shangguan clan in the future.

After the war, Shangguan Hongbo ordered the clansmen to make statistics, and in Dingxiang County, there were only 378 people left in the Shangguan clan, and if you count the clansmen hiding in the outside world, there are only about 500 people together, only one-sixth of the total population before the war.

The casualties of the Shangguan clan were so miserable, the innate grandmasters were all killed in battle, and there were only three of the ninth order of the day after tomorrow, and even several of Shangguan Hongbo's sons and daughters, including his eldest son, were also killed in battle, and the white-haired people sent the black-haired people, and those who were not strong-minded were afraid that they would fall ill directly.

Fortunately, Shangguan Hongbo, the head of the Shangguan clan, did not fall, and under Shangguan Hongbo's order, the Shangguan clan continued to rotate......

On October 16, after more than a day of rest, Yun Yi led the first division of the Yunjia Army to leave Dingxiang County and prepare to go to the core area of Zezhou to fight the final decisive battle with the Guangming Army.

At the gate of the city, Shangguan Hongbo personally brought his second son Shangguan Yangjia to see him off, but next to the two of them were Yun Yi and Shangguan Xiying with an indifferent expression.

"Father-in-law, you have to live well, otherwise my lady will be sad." After speaking, Yun Yi turned around and left, Shangguan Xiying followed without hurry, doing her duty as a maid, leaving only Shangguan Hongbo, who was hanging his head and sighing, and Shangguan Yangjia, who was stunned.

Yes, Shangguan Hongbo has already made up his mind about life and death, the original huge Shangguan clan, now only one-sixth of the clan is left, not even a congenital grandmaster, now it can only be regarded as a third-rate family, no matter what external factors are Shangguan Clan's decline to this point, Shangguan Hongbo will put all the fault on himself, he has no face to live, if it weren't for Shangguan's need for him, Shangguan Hongbo would have already killed himself.

Yun Yi's last sentence is a threat to Shangguan Hongbo, if Shangguan Hongbo dares to kill himself, then what will become of the Shangguan clan in the future Yun Yi dare not guarantee, if Shangguan Hongbo is still alive, he is still Yunyi's nominal father-in-law, and no one in the Shangguan clan dares to move......

In eight days, the total number of the Bright Army in Zezhou City has reached 34,000 people, which is almost the only remaining strength of the Bright Army in Zezhou, and the city under the control of the Bright Army is only one of Zezhou City, and the other cities in Zezhou are either occupied by the Yun Family Army or controlled by the registered warriors of the Warrior Guild waiting for the Yun Clan to receive it.

On October 21, the first and second divisions of the Yunjia Army converged, totaling more than 24,000 people, and the troops came to the city of Zezhou.

After arriving at Zezhou City, Yun Yi quickly issued a combat order, ordering a total of four brigades of the First Division and the Second Division to occupy one direction in the southeast and northwest of Zezhou City, and surround Zezhou City, with no distinction between primary and secondary in the four directions.

Then Yun Yi wrote a letter, a letter of persuasion, and sent a messenger to the Guangming Army in Zezhou City.

On the wall of Zezhou City, Yuan Xin, Liu Kun, and Zhu Wen watched the various actions of the Yun Family Army, and they were surprised to see that the Yun Family Army, which was originally 10,000 people less than the Guangming Army, was actually divided into four parts and surrounded Zezhou City.

Liu Kun laughed angrily and said: "What a Yun family, what a Yun family army, they don't even take us in their eyes." ”

"Holy Maiden, the last general asks for battle, and the last general only needs 10,000 troops to destroy all the enemy troops." Zhu Wen turned around and clenched his fists to ask Yuan Xin for battle.

Yuan Xin said: "The Yun family army dares to divide its troops into four routes, and it has the strength to stop the holy army, so it must not act rashly. ”

"The 'hidden weapon' of the Yun family's army is extremely sharp, and it is impossible to fight during the day, so it is better to carry out a sneak attack at night." Liu Kun also said.

Just when Yuan Xin, Liu Kun, and Zhu Wen were discussing the battle plan, a young man defending the city reported to him: "Holy Maiden, the enemy sent an envoy to send a letter." ”

Saying that, the young general guarding the city handed the letter with both hands, Zhu Wen stepped forward to take the letter, and after feeling that there was no problem, he turned around and handed the letter to Yuan Xin.

Yuan Xin turned out the letter, only to see that the outer skin of the letter was written "The Holy Maiden Initiated".

Yuan Xin opened the letter and took out the paper to read, didn't look at it a few times, Yuan Xin's eyebrows were furrowed, because this was a letter of persuasion written by Yun Yi to Yuan Xin, the letter simply listed the strength of the Yun family's army, and it was easy to eliminate the Guangming army in Zezhou City, but Yun Yi was unwilling to kill more, so he persuaded the saint to lead the Guangming army to surrender, he Yunyi promised not to kill any of the Guangming soldiers, he Yunyi only gave half an hour to discuss, if the Guangming army did not surrender after half an hour, the Yunjia army would attack.

Yuan Xin once used similar words to persuade Yunyi to surrender, but I didn't expect Yunyi to use such words to persuade her Yuan Xin today, Yuan Xin had a little more anger in her heart, but her face didn't change much, even if there was a change, it was covered by a veil, and others couldn't see it.

After Yuan Xin read the letter, he handed the letter to Liu Kun, and after Liu Kun took a few brief glances, he scolded angrily: "Damn family dog thief, you really should eat us." ”

After reading the letter, Liu Kun handed the letter to Zhu Wen, and after Zhu Wen glanced at the letter a few times, he also became angry.

Obviously, Yuan Xin, Liu Kun, and Zhu Wen will not surrender, and now the Guangming Army is more numerous than the Yun Family Army, and the Guangming Army is still defending the city, and it is impossible to surrender, but the letter said that the Yun Family Army will be launched in half an hour, and Yuan Xin, Liu Kun, and Zhu Wen hurriedly ordered the Guangming Army to prepare for battle.

In the camp of the Yun family army outside Zezhou City, Yun Yi held a monocular and looked at Zezhou City, and in the sight of the telescope, Yun Yi could clearly see the figures of Yuan Xin, Liu Kun, and Zhu Wen.

Behind Yunyi, there was an expressionless Shangguan Xiying, Shangguan Xiying was still holding two swords in his hands, one sword was Shangguan Xiying's own, and the other was Yunyi's, although Shangguan Xiying was expressionless, she was a little curious in her heart, curious about what Yunyi was doing, Shangguan Xiying didn't know that this was a telescope.

Yun Yi knew that it was impossible to persuade the more than 30,000 Guangming troops in Zezhou City to surrender with just one letter.

The Yun family army equipped with firearms is very powerful, and it is very simple to break through Zezhou City, but the Yun family army still needs to conduct street battles after breaking through Zezhou City, which is a bit troublesome, if the Guangming Army desperately resists, and the Yun family army wants to completely occupy Zezhou City, Yun Yi feels that at least he has to pay more than 5,000 casualties.

The number of five thousand casualties seems to be relatively small, only one-fifth of the Yunjia army, but in Yun Yi's opinion, the life of every Yun family sergeant is precious, before the expedition, the Yun family army is still a new army, and the Yun family army needs to conquer the city to accumulate combat experience, and now the Yun family's combat experience has been accumulated, and if you consider more, it will become a reduction in damage, after all, there are so many Yunjia troops, and the cost of training firecrackers and artillery is far higher than that of shield soldiers, pikemen, and Pu Dao soldiers, and it is best to reduce losses.

So Yunyi formulated a plan to persuade him to surrender.
