Before they could come to their senses, Xu Dayan had already turned back.

"Outside...... Outside...... ...... outside"

"What's going on out there? You say. ”

"We're surrounded!"

Rao is a ruthless character like Xu Dayan who makes the enemy frightened, when he walked out of the camp gate and saw the sparks outside spreading all over the mountains and fields, and he was still taken aback by the dense scene at a glance, and he couldn't even speak.

"Roar—roar—"

The sound of the landslide and the earth cracking came and poured into everyone's ears like a mountain and a sea, and even the ground trembled. How many people are this? How many people were dispatched to deal with a mere first battalion?

Lao Chen Pi felt that the situation was unexpected, so he was so anxious that he grabbed Yuan Xi's clothes and said loudly: "Second son, what's wrong with the general?" ”

originally thought that it was framed by the villain, and the general went to Yuan Shao's side to argue, but now it seems that it was a trap deliberately laid by him. The key is that the words that Koji Yi said before leaving, now they sound cold on people's backs. Could it be that the general had expected it a long time ago?

In any case, the only life-saving straw in front of him is Yuan Xi and Yuan's second son, but this person is also Yuan Shao's second son.

Yuan Xi sat down on the ground, sighed, and said, "Yes...... Be...... Yuan Shao wanted to kill him...... There have been contradictions before...... In the woods, Yuan Shao was used as bait...... The contradiction has intensified the ......"

Old Chen Pi took a deep breath, and the people around him also looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Old Chen Pi said: "Someone! Tie him up. ”

Yuan Xi's eyes widened: "Put ...... Who? ”

Old Chen Pi said: "It's you!" ”

Yuan Xi said: "Are you crazy? ”

Old Chen Pi said: "It's not crazy, the general has been in the city for an hour, life and death are uncertain, if they kill the general, we will slaughter you." If he wants the general to die, let's let his son die. Quick, tie him up. Come on, go out to spread the news, when the general will come back, when, let's release the second son, otherwise, everyone will be burned......"

Yuan Xi was completely crazy, what was he trying to do, he came to report the news with good intentions, but he didn't expect to be taken hostage by them. But at this time, he was surrounded by water, and he couldn't escape at all.

"Wait—"

The two veterans beside Lao Chen Pi were about to grab Yuan Xi's arm, when suddenly more than a dozen people squeezed over, led by Xu Dayan, Li Ping, Fan Yang and others.

"Can't be tied!" Xu said loudly: "Don't forget, the second son is with us, who is fighting side by side with us in the boundary bridge?" There is no way he could have participated in framing the general! ”

Several people squeezed over, and then blocked Yuan Xi's side. Yuan Xi glanced at them, most of them were comrades-in-arms of his own team back then, everyone had slept in a camp tent and fought, and they were born and died.

Old Chen Pi shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Is it still the first to go to camp? ”

The two sides pushed each other with Yuan Xi as the center, their mouths were not allowed, and their hands were also exerting force, and the whole crowd turned into two waves, squeezing and rolling each other.

Old Chen Pi shouted: "Xu Dayan, the general is not here, I will give orders on his behalf, and the military orders are like mountains!" ”

A soldier, first of all, must listen to orders, and this has been melted into the blood of all soldiers who have entered the battalion first. The shoving immediately subsided, and the crowd stood in two distinct teams. Xu Dayan's team of about a dozen people tightly surrounded Yuan Xi. The Liangzhou veterans led by Lao Chen Pi were more numerous, standing on the periphery, layer upon layer. The other soldiers mostly stood further away, looking at both sides hesitantly.

Old Chen Pi gritted his teeth and said: "Since they have harmed the general, let's just do the opposite!" ”

"Yes, it's the other way around......" The people around him clamoured.

Yuan Xi said suddenly: "Old Chen Pi, have you forgotten what the general said before leaving?" ”

When Lao Chen Pi heard this, the expression on his face suddenly froze, his body suddenly leaned back, and he was supported by the person next to him under his armpit, his lips trembled, and he muttered, "You mean...... You mean......"

Yuan Xi said: "That's right, the general should have known that he would never return, and he asked you to practice hard, just to keep this first camp." He'd rather die himself than let you make trouble. ”

Old Chen Pi said: "But, but he is gone, why does he still have to plan for the surname Yuan?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "He is alone, where is it for Yuan Shao, he is for you." You go out and look at the situation outside, do you think you are going to escape? Can you avenge the general? He could have led you in the rebellion. Why did he go into the city alone? Isn't it just to protect you? Do you want to let him down? ”

The first few veterans shed tears, and some even cried loudly, like a child, these people have lived in the barracks for decades, the barracks is their home, and Koyi is their pillar, and now the pillar has fallen, as if the sky has fallen.

"General!"

Old Chen Pi suddenly knelt down in the direction of the city gate, and several other veterans also knelt beside him. The entire barracks fell silent, except for the sound of sobbing.

Old Chen Pi knelt down for a while, stood up, and said to Yuan Xi: "Now the life and death of the general are uncertain, second son, what do you say we should do?" ”

Yuan Xi groaned: "Now the plan can only be negotiated. ”

"Negotiations?"

Yuan Xi said: "Yes, Yuan Shao's purpose is to go to the camp first and not be chaotic, so I will talk about it first on this condition to determine the life and death of the general, and see if there is room for turnaround." But I want to explain first, you can't be impulsive, impulsively, set yourself on fire, and the soldiers and horses ten times your size outside will be leveled here, and the general's hard work will be ruined. ”

Lao Chen Pi said: "Who should be allowed to negotiate?" Why don't I go? ”

Yuan Xi said: "You have to sit in the military camp and command the generals." I have to find someone who is articulate, I think it's up to Xu Dayan. ”

Xu Dayan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Me? Articulate? ”

Yuan Xi said: "That's right, it's you." All you have to do is inquire about the general, and at the same time have their men come here and talk to us. Remember, you must get accurate information, or you will threaten them to go to the camp first and fight to the death. ”

After explaining, Xu Dayan was about to go out, and at this time Yuan Xi grabbed him again and said, "If necessary, you can take me out as a hostage." ”

Xu glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely live up to my mission." Before leaving, he asked, "Do you really think I'm really articulate?" ”

Yuan Xi patted him on the shoulder and nodded heavily. Xu Dayan showed resolute eyes, nodded to him, and trotted out of the camp gate.

Old Chen Pi stood behind Yuan Xi, saw Xu Da's figure disappear, and asked, "Second son, what should we do next?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "Array, arm." Take a posture of fighting to the death. Light all the torches, and make tonight your last battle. ”

Old Chen Pi was still a little skeptical and asked, "Didn't you just say that you can't do it?" Why do you want us to fight to the death? If that's the case, isn't it a blatant rebellion? Are they still willing to talk? Will the general be able to come back? ”

Yuan Xi said: "The more you don't want to die, the more likely it is that your general will come back." It's good to practice as a daily soldier. Go ahead and prepare. ”

Immediately, the order was passed down, and everyone responded with a bang and began to assemble. The tense atmosphere spread, and the inside and outside of the barracks were illuminated as daylight, and the banners and iron armor were displayed in array. The first battalion of the Yuan army, on this night, put on a posture of mourning, and the battle was about to break out.
