The spring sun shines in the evening, but the remnant sun is like blood. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Outside Xincai City, it has experienced a siege battle that lasted for nearly half a month, and today Hao Meng and Sun Liu's coalition army fought a fierce battle, and the entire Xincai City outside it was like Shura Hell at this time.

Everywhere the broken arms of the remnants, the corpses piled up, and the blood even stained many of the ground maroon; The smell of blood and the stench will not dissipate for a long time in this sunset.

After the defeat of the Sun-Liu coalition army, Hao Mengjun pursued and killed more than 20 miles before returning. Then it was time to gather the routed, the defeated, and the ownerless horses, as well as to collect the weapons and bury the corpses.

Hao Meng naturally doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters, and there are soldiers from all departments to complete them; Hao Meng only needs to wait for the results to be reported in the camp that has just been erected.

It's a pity that in such a big battle, Ji Ling, the guard general of Xincai City, didn't lead his troops out of the city to take a kick, and Hao Meng's plan to take the opportunity to steal the city could only be put on hold for the time being.

Moreover, the quota of the dragon cannon guards today has also been used up, and if he wants to use the dragon cannon guards to break the city, Hao Meng can only wait until tomorrow.

As for using the Holy Beast to break the city, when he was fighting against the Sun Liu coalition army just now, Hao Meng had no intention of using the Holy Beast, so how could he use the Holy Beast for the sake of a small new Cai City?

Do you really think that the holy beast is omnipotent?

On that day, the pseudo-capital of Yuan Shu was burned with the holy beast Vermilion Bird in Caicheng, which was just a last resort, and it was just needed to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys.

……

The night was deep, and except for a few bonfires outside Xincai City, it had gradually returned to silence. However, in Xincai City, it is under the black light and blind, and the undercurrent is surging.

In the afternoon, the fierce battle outside Xincai City was not only seen by the soldiers of the Yuan army who defended the city, but also by many people with vast powers in the city, even if they did not see it with their own eyes, they had heard of it.

Hao Meng's 50,000 troops shook the 80,000 elites of the Sun and Liu coalition army. Hao Mengjun only dispatched two elite cavalry and a personal guard battalion, and defeated the Sun-Liu coalition army in a grand manner, and chased and killed more than 20 miles.

Fools on the city wall can see that Hao Mengjun's loss is actually not large, except for the two cavalry divisions, which are more than half damaged, the other soldiers have only a little loss.

It can be seen that Hao Mengjun's strength is very strong.

Moreover, although the number of those dragon artillery guards in Hao Meng's personal guard battalion is small, if they launch Weilai, Xincai City may not be able to defend it.

In this case, not only Ji Ling, who was guarding Xincai City, and other soldiers were worried, but even many big families in the city were anxiously waiting for the trial.

What's more, after nightfall, Hao Meng also ordered people to shoot in the other three directions of Xincai City. into many letters of persuasion, the letter is naturally indispensable, and Yuan Shupseudo was burned to ashes.

With the example of the puppet capital Shangcaicheng, not to mention that the people in the city are panicking, even many soldiers in the army, especially the young man who has not been requisitioned for a long time, is on the verge of collapse at any time.

The whole city was burned to ashes, this is a sharp sword hanging over the head of Xin Cai Junmin!

Ji Ling is a general, relying on his cronies and his personal guard battalion, he can barely suppress the panic in the army, and he can also organize the soldiers to suppress the treacherous clouds in the city.

However, the undercurrent after the night, Ji Ling may be able to guess, but he can't prevent and eliminate it at all. Perhaps, even those soldiers who patrol the night and suppress the bombs are mostly blind to the big families in the city, right?

……

Runan is the base camp of the Yuan family, but there are not only the Yuan branch in Xincai City, but also the Huang family, the Cai family, the Meng family and other big families.

After nightfall, the head of the Huang family and the head of the Meng family, each with a few cronies, secretly entered the Cai family from the corner gate, ready to discuss how to steal the city and sacrifice the city.

The Cai family is a branch of the famous Cai family in the world; The Huang family is also a descendant of the Huang family in the Lianghuai region; The Meng family is a side branch of the local family in Runan.

These three families are second only to the Yuan branch in Xincai City; The children of the clan, as well as the tenants of the family, all have those who serve in the army, especially the young and strong people who have been forcibly requisitioned, and most of them are also related to these families.

If these three families are combined, they dare not say anything about controlling Xincai City, and it is no problem to open the city gate and welcome Hao Meng's army outside the city into the city.

If it weren't for the last resort, these three would not be willing to do such dirty things.

Previously, when the Sun-Liu coalition army attacked the city, these families were all serving Ji Ling and loyally defending Xincai City. However, when Hao Meng led the army to Xincai City, the fool knew that the general trend had gone.

If Yuan Shu's imperial capital hadn't been conquered, would Hao Meng have bypassed Shangcai City to attack Xincai?

After witnessing Hao Meng's military might, the Huang family, the Cai family, and the Meng family were all dead; But at that time, they didn't have the idea of stealing and sacrificing the city, at most, they were no longer so enthusiastic about defending the city.

Because, no matter who occupies this city, unless the city is slaughtered, the position of the three of them in this city will not be greatly damaged.

It's just that after nightfall, Hao Meng's persuasion letters that were shot into the city made the heads of the three families panic. Yuan Shu's imperial capital, Shangcai City, was actually burned to ashes by Hao Meng?!

So, will Hao Meng be angry and burn this city to ashes?

If only the city is conquered, these big families may also suffer some losses, but it will not hurt the roots. But the entire city was burned to ashes, and no matter how awesome the family was, it was estimated that they would have to "live and die" with the city, right?

Therefore, the heads of these three families were really afraid, so in the middle of the night, they secretly discussed the plan to dedicate the city.

No, when the heads of the three families were discussing about the same, the housekeeper of the Cai family came to report, and the head of the Yuan family also came at night.

……

Runan is the nest of the Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth generation, and in the counties of Lianghuai, it can be said that there are branch descendants of the Yuan family, and there is a Yuan family in this new Cai City.

Since Yuan Shu usurped the throne as emperor, the smart people in the Yuan clan in Runan have long begun to transfer their power and connections to Jizhou, even if they can't take away their assets or anything, most of the main personnel have already gone to Jizhou.

The smart guy has long seen that Yuan Shu's usurpation of the title of emperor is simply death, and if he doesn't do it, he will drag the entire Yuan family of Runan to be martyred.

However, if there are smart people, there is naturally no shortage of people who are blind.

After Yuan Shu usurped the throne and became emperor, the Yuan family represented by him naturally became "imperial relatives". As a result, the Yuan clan side branches in the counties rose in momentum for a while, and they all became the first households in each city in an instant!

The Yuan family in this new Cai City is also a side branch of the Yuan family, and its power is naturally the head of the four major families in the city.

Usually, the Huang family, the Cai family and the Meng family are forced to be helpless, so naturally only the Yuan family is the first to look forward. Tonight, when life and death are at stake, these three families directly bypassed the Yuan family and secretly discussed stealing the city and offering the city.

This kind of thing, the heads of the three families will naturally not discuss with the Yuan family.

What if the head of the Yuan family told Ji Ling about this plan? When the time comes, it is a small matter to steal the city and sacrifice the city, and if it is not good, Ji Ling will take them first to deter the people in the city.

Therefore, when this kind of discussion reached a critical juncture, they heard that the head of the Yuan family came secretly, and the three heads of the family all looked at each other, and they were all a little suspicious that someone had leaked the news.

……

When the head of the Yuan family walked into the Cai family's secret room, he saw the silent and embarrassed three family heads, his eyes flashed, but finally turned into a helpless sigh: "Alas! ”

"Brothers' plans, even if you don't know, you can guess a little bit or two."

The eyes of the heads of the Huang family, the Cai family, and the Meng family flashed, some were nervous, and some were crazy.

The head of the Yuan family ignored the reactions of the three heads of the family, and continued: "If the other princes break the city, they may be afraid of Yuan Benchu in Jizhou, and there is still a way for my Yuan family to live. ”

"But it was Hao Meng who arrived outside the city today!"

"Behind Hao Meng, there is also a princess of the Han Dynasty, once the city is broken, there will definitely be no way for my Yuan family to live."

Speaking of this, the head of the Yuan family bowed down and said in a rather pleading tone: "So, please also ask all the benevolent brothers to save my Yuan family's life!" ”

"If the four of us work together, we can sacrifice the city at any time. In this way, for the sake of our meritorious contribution to the city, Hao Meng can't say that he will spare our Yuan family a way to live. ”

After straightening up, the head of the Yuan family threatened again: "If you don't give your foolish brother a chance in this matter, then no one will want to break the city tonight, and we will all wait to be like Cai Cheng, and the city will be reduced to ashes together!" ”

This is exactly what the heads of the three families are worried about!

Otherwise, who will be full of food and support to rush to steal the city and sacrifice the city?

After a long time, the head of the Huang family, the Meng family, and the head of the Cai family glanced at each other, and the head of the Cai family said: "So, what plan does Brother Yuan have to dedicate this city without much effort?" ”

The heads of the three families never mentioned their own plans.

Hearing that the tone of these three families was somewhat relaxed, the head of the Yuan family didn't care what plans the three people in front of him had, and directly said his own plan: "It is not advisable to dedicate the city tonight. ”

"Let's not talk about whether there is any contact with Hao Meng outside the city, General Ji Ling will definitely be on guard tonight. You know, we can receive those letters of persuasion, didn't General Ji Ling see it? ”

"So, the foolish brother's plan is to dedicate the city tomorrow morning!"

"Early tomorrow morning, before Hao Meng's army outside the city is ready to attack the city, the foolish brother will invite General Ji Ling to the mansion for a banquet in the name of supporting the defense of the city. When the time comes, he will either poison him, or get drunk, or ambush the sword and axe men to besiege and kill Ji Ling. ”

"As long as General Ji Ling is taken, with the connections of the four of us in the army, we can control the soldiers defending the city and the young and strong. When the time comes, there will be no fighting, and there will be no big waves. ”

"Brothers, what is the foolish brother's plan?"

This is where the self-confidence of the head of the Yuan family lies!

With the identity of "imperial relatives", the head of the Yuan family can indeed invite Ji Ling to the banquet. Although the big war is imminent, and although it is not suitable to drink and feast early in the morning, under the premise of supporting the defense of the city, these are not big problems!

……

The next day, the sun rose in the east.

After the morning meal, Hao Mengjun lined up and was about to break the city in one go, but he didn't expect the four major families in the city to directly open the door to offer the city.

Looking at the four "outsiders" trembling in front of him, Hao Meng still didn't believe their dedication to the city, as well as the so-called "Ji Ling has been ambushed".

However, the open city gate is close at hand, if he can capture the city in front of him with less fighting, Hao Meng would rather fight less.

In a big battle yesterday, although Hao Meng's army had not yet broken its muscles and bones, it also lost seven or eight thousand people, and nearly 10,000 people were wounded.

Even if you rely on the dragon cannon guards to break the city, if the city really fights to the end, won't there be any fighting after entering the city?

This, still have to lose some soldiers and horses!

Therefore, if a soldier can surrender without a fight, Hao Meng will still choose not to fight.

"Tai Shici, I order you to lead the soldiers of the headquarters into the city!" Hao Meng ordered Tai Shici who was not far away.

At this time, Hao Meng naturally would not enter the city in person, only after several soldiers and horses around him entered the city one after another, and without accidents, he would finally enter the city.

And Tai Shici was the first to enter the city, in order to test the authenticity of this dedication to the city, and to seize all the key points in the city.

If the dedication of the city is fake, with Tai Shici's strength, after using the trick, he will still be able to break through. When the time comes, Hao Meng will no longer show mercy to his subordinates, and will avenge the more than 5,000 soldiers and horses trapped in the city.

If the dedication of the city is true, Hao Meng estimates that at noon, he will probably be able to enter Xincai City.

Once Xincaicheng starts, it will be as small as the entire Runan County and as large as the entire Yuzhou, and only the Ruyin line will still be in Liu Bei's hands, and Hao Meng can barely be regarded as the lord of the four states. The strength and power are already comparable to Yuan Shao in the later generations.
