In the early morning of the next day, with the sound of rumbling war drums, the 500,000-strong army was arranged in each row and lined up under the city of Luoyang.

Liu Yuan was dressed in a coarse cloth robe, not even wearing armor, and rode himself on a lion and tiger beast and stood in front of the formation. Beside him, Dian Wei, Guo Jia and other civil and military cadres are side by side.

Liu Yuan waved his hand, and in an instant, the drumming stopped abruptly.

After patting the lion and tiger beast, Liu Yuan calmed down and slowly walked to the foot of Luoyang City.

"Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde, Gongsun Bogui, Zhang Gongqi, and show up."

Liu Yuan's figure, thick and melodious, soon spread throughout Luoyang. Not only did Yuan Shao and others hear it, but all the civil and military generals, peddlers and pawns all heard it clearly.

Everybody knew that the man was coming.

At the head of the city, Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Lu glanced at each other, smiled bitterly, and walked forward together and came to the city wall.

"Liu Yuan, you are so bold!"

Yuan Shao's eyes widened to hide the tremor in his heart, and he said in a fierce voice: "Luoyang is the Great Han Yanjing, where the Dragon Court is located, you actually committed a rebellion, and you should be guilty of leading the troops here!" ”

Liu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, then pointed at Yuan Shao and laughed: "Hahahaha Yuan Benchu, until now you still say these unnutritious words to this king?!" All this king can say is that you are a straw bale! ”

"You!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was angry and shouted: "You dare to bully me!?" Liu Yuan, if you dare to attack Luoyang, this general will let Luoyang fill the city, and hundreds of thousands of people will accompany me to bury! ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, his color changed: "Yuan Benchu, you dare!" If there is one less person in Luoyang, I, Liu Yuan, will let your Yuan family cut off their children and grandchildren! ”

Yuan Shao's words not only made Liu Yuan change color, but also Cao Ying, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Lu all changed color. Although they are heroes, even at this point today, they have not lost their hearts, and they have not had the vicious intention of burying hundreds of thousands of people.

"Yuan Shao, this king will give you an hour to consider, if the city surrenders, I will leave a root for your Yuan family. If you dare to resist, the chicken dog will not stay! Cao Mengde, Brother Mengde, I have been friends with you for more than ten years, today, I put my words here, if you can unconditionally open the city and surrender, this king will not only not treat you badly, but after ascending the throne, let you be the chief assistant! Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Lu, both of you are also outstanding people, if you surrender to sincerity, this king will never do harm, and use your talents! ”

With that, Liu Yuan patted the lion and tiger beast, turned around and returned to the main formation.

Liu Yuan's words shook the entire Luoyang City.

Every word, all the people can hear it clearly.

Although Yuan Shao's voice was not so loud, people could infer what Yuan Shao said from Liu Yuan's answer.

Suddenly, in Luoyang City, the waves were turbulent.

Some want to gather the crowd, want to cooperate with Liu Yuan, and cooperate with Liu Yuan to capture Luoyang, not only to save their own lives, but also to fight well in front of Liu Yuan, and maybe they can be officials.

Others are full of fear. Yuan Shao now has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, if he really wants to go inward and deal with the people of Luoyang, it is very easy, and it is useless to resist or something.

The three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang have been standing behind Yuan Shao.

Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Shao's slightly trembling back, and his heart turned sharply, but he glanced at the two brothers, quietly stepped back, and walked to the side.

"Second brother, third brother, what should I do now?"

Yuan Tan didn't have any confidence in holding Luoyang at all. And now that Yuan Shao has the mind to burn jade, how can he not be anxious? Yuan Shao asked for death, but Yuan Tan was unwilling.

"Liu Yuan is too strong, Luoyang City can't hold it at all." Yuan Shangdao: "If the city is broken, my Yuan family will definitely be cut down by Liu Yuan." If Kaesong surrenders, there is still a glimmer of life. ”

Yuan Xi also nodded, but said, "But father"

"It's okay," Yuan Tan waved his hand and said, "The third brother will go and invite Guo Junshi and Feng Junshi first, and we will discuss it for a while." ”

Yuan Shang nodded, turned around and left.

At this time, Cao Ying, Gongsun Zhan and Zhang Lu have been staring at Yuan Shao.

Cao Ying said: "Originally, you really want Luoyang City to accompany you to the funeral?" That's hundreds of thousands of people! ”

Yuan Shao turned around and said miserably: "My uncle and I have planned to assassinate Liu Yuan several times, and Liu Yuan has also wanted to destroy my Yuan family several times. In this battle, whether it is surrender or stubborn resistance, Liu Yuan will not let go of my Yuan family, even so, how can he make him feel better! ”

Yuan Shao's words resonated with Gongsun Zhan.

Among these four people, Cao Ying and Zhang Lu have never had too deep hatred with Liu Yuan, while Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have a grudge against their relatives.

"Not bad! The jade will be burned! ”

Gongsun Chan said hatefully.

Cao Ying and Zhang Lu glanced at each other, no longer speaking, but their minds were turning, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Someone, open the city gate, General Ben will personally meet Liu Yuan'er for a while!"

Yuan Shao hesitated for a while, but he gritted his teeth fiercely, held down the hilt of his sword, and walked quickly to the city: "Gao Lan, Zang Hong, lead the troops out of the city with me!" ”

When Gao Lan and Zang Hong heard this, they all shook up, nodded yes, followed Yuan Shao, and went down the city wall.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zhan also followed, Cao Ying and Zhang Lu glanced at each other, and also walked down the city.

"Lord," Xun You, who had been following Cao Ying's side, said softly, "What are your lord's plans?" ”

"Intended?" Cao Ying laughed at himself: "Liu Zihong's ability, Cao Mou is convinced." "Shut up.

When Xun You heard this, his color changed, he nodded slowly, looked sideways at Yuan Tan and the other three who were sneaky not far away, and whispered a few words to Li Dian. Li Dian was slightly stunned, and then nodded.

Yuan Shao took Gao Lan, Zang Hong and 50,000 elites, went out of the city gate, and lined up under the city. At the same time, Gongsun Chan also took several generals under his command and led 50,000 elites, who were also listed under the city. Then, Cao Ying and Zhang Lu also arrived in front of the battle.

The army of 100,000 people crowded the city of Luoyang, which can be described as impassable.

Yuan Shao was wearing a battle robe, although his face was very haggard, but he still did not lose his might, I saw him flick his horsewhip, pointed to the opposite side, and shouted: "Liu Yuan, you are invincible in the world of Youzhou Army, I Yuan Ben just didn't believe it!" ”

Liu Yuan kept squinting, watching Yuan Shao lead the army out of the city, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he patted the lion and tiger beast, took a few steps forward, and chuckled: "I thought you Yuan Benchu went out of the city and surrendered, hey, so anxious to die?" ”

"Hmph, whoever died, did one, only to know!"

Yuan Shao said stiffly.

"Okay." Liu Yuan smiled and nodded: "Even so, this king will not sweep you Yaxing." Anyway, it's still far from the time limit of an hour, so I might as well accompany you to meet your curiosity. Anyway, what do you want? Fighter? Fighting arrays? Or an all-army attack?! ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he shouted: "Historically, above the battle array, the fight will be the first!" After speaking, Yuan Shao turned to Gao Ran and said, "The first formation, I will leave it to you." ”

Gao Ran clenched his fists and nodded, and the horse was about to be killed.

At this time, Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, went out of the city to fight and arrived at Yuan Shao's side, followed by Guo Tu and Feng Ji.

"Father, wait."

"Huh?" When Yuan Shao heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said unhappily: "What's the matter?!" ”

Yuan Tan and the three of them slowly approached, and Yuan Tan said, "Father, I have something important and want you to report it." ”

"Say!"

Yuan Tan approached, and suddenly grabbed Yuan Shao and pulled him off the horse. Then, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi rushed up like wolves, took out a rope from their waists, divided five by two, and tied Yuan Shao into a strong knot!

"You guys!" Yuan Shao was very surprised: "Rebel, what are you going to do?!" Why don't you untie the ropes quickly?! ”

Yuan Shao struggled hard, but he couldn't break free, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. However, it turned out that the three brothers knew that their father's martial arts were extraordinary, and they actually found a rope that was extremely strong and made of special treatment of cow tendon.

"Father, now that the general trend has been decided, it is better to surrender." Yuan Tan fell to his knees and cried: "King Yuyang is a trustworthy person, and he will not break his promise." Father, you want to leave a root for my Yuan family! ”

"Yes, father!" Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang also knelt on the ground at the same time.

Yuan Shao was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Zang Hong, Gao Yan! Execute all these three rebels! ”

Yuan Shao yelled.

Zang Hong and Gao Ran were hesitating. These three people are all Yuan Shao's sons and their young masters. As a subordinate, it is not possible to take the initiative to knife less. Besides, what the three young masters said is also good. Now that the general trend is fixed, no matter how much you struggle, it is useless, it is better to take a step back and leave a foundation for yourself.

So the two hesitated.

"Do it! Do it! ”

Seeing this, Yuan Shao's eyes were about to protrude, his mouth and nose were panting, and his face was bruised!

Zang Hong and Gao Ran sighed secretly, took out their big swords and spears, and were about to step forward, but they were blocked by Li Dian and the two of them. The two of them exhaled at the same time, and then the three of them fought in front of the battle.

It seems that the fight is fierce, but in fact, you come and go, as if you are passing hands.

At this time, Guo Tu and Feng Ji stepped forward, knelt down in front of Yuan Shao, and cried: "The lord has always been merciful, but now why do you want to be buried with the people of the city?" What's more, if the lord really wants to be like this, the Yuan family will be cut off, and under the nine springs, how can the lord go to see the ancestors and ancestors? ”

"Yes, the three sons are planning for the Yuan family, so they have to make this decision, don't blame the lord!"

Yuan Shao's teeth were clenched tightly, and they creaked.

"You guys, poof!"

Yuan Shao squeezed out two words in his throat, and then, Yang Tian spurted out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

"Quick! Quickly help my father down."

Liu Yuan squinted slightly, and kept quietly watching the farce of 'father and son cannibalism' on the opposite side, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said to Guo Jia on his side: "Do you think, does Yuan Benchu have some ability?" ”

Behind him, all the civil servants are wise and sophisticated, Qi Qi smiled, Jia Xu said first: "Then Yuan Benchu didn't want the Yuan family to be the last, but he felt that it was a shame to bow his head to the lord in front of the people of the world, so, hehe"

"Not bad." Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Although Yuan Shao is a straw bag, his control over his subordinates is still good, and he is not very good at playing this game." ”

"But, my lord." Guo Jia said at this time: "Are you going to let Yuan Shao go?" ”

Liu Yuan laughed: "What if you let him go?!" Still afraid that he will make waves!? ”

Even a character like Cao Ying, Liu Yuan can let it go generously and have the heart to reuse it, not to mention Yuan Shao, who is simply dispensable in Liu Yuan's eyes?

When the civil and military ministers heard this, they were all impressed.
