Chapter 232: Capture Meng Shu alive
Although Yan Yan was very confident in his subordinates, knowing that they had received his own orders, he didn't dare to open the city gate and surrender, but the scene in front of him surprised him, and he didn't understand why someone still opened the city gate. But he had no choice but to slowly enter the city under the escort of the sergeant beside Huang Zhong, and then watched Huang Zhong take over Jiangzhou City, and then came out of the list to calm the people, and stabilized the feelings of the people. Yan Yan was escorted to his former Taishou Mansion, looking at Huang Zhong sitting high in his position, his mood was suddenly extremely lost, and at the same time he was sad and indignant: "Which bastard actually ignored my military order and opened the city gate to surrender to Huang Zhong?" "Huh? Wrong. Yan Yan suddenly thought of the crux of the problem, and said to Huang Zhong: "You haven't told the defenders in the city the identity of your army tonight, and the defenders in the city don't know that you are Huang Zhong at all, so where did you come from to surrender?" What the hell is going on? Seeing Huang Zhong smile slowly: "This matter is actually not difficult, but General Yan had better listen to the explanation of General Yan Chong under your command." After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to call Yan Chong over. I saw Yan Chong greet Huang Zhong with a ashamed face, and then saluted Yan Yan: "Nephew Yan worships and sees uncle." Yan Yan's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "I don't dare to accept your gift." General Yan, I really didn't expect that I would defend day and night, and it would be difficult to prevent thieves, and in the end, it was you who opened the city gate and surrendered to Huang Zhong. I ask you, why? What am I doing that I can't help you? Yan Chong smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Things are not what my uncle imagined, and my nephew was also helpless, so he had no choice but to do it, General Li threatened the lives of our people, and my nephew had no choice but to order surrender, and according to his instructions, open the city gate and return to General Huang." "It turns out that Li Dian turned out to be a fraudulent surrender, hehe, General Huang is really calculating." Yan Yan only understood after knowing this, it turned out that the root of the qi qi was all in Li Dian's body, and he couldn't help but feel sad and indignant, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head, stared at Yan Chong viciously and said: "Even if Li Dian surrenders by fraud, he only has more than 2,000 surrendered soldiers under his command, and they are all unarmed, how can he be the opponent of more than 10,000 Dongzhou soldiers under his command?" How the hell did you do that, kid? Even our people were captured by the other party? What is the use of me saying that I have cultivated you carefully for so many years? It's still a wine bag rice bag? But seeing Yan Chong sighed deeply, shook his head and said: "No matter what, we have more than 500 personal soldiers in our house to guard, plus guarding with danger, if it is really a 2,000 defenseless army, even if the nephew is incompetent, it will not be possible to let their hands, my uncle does not know, the enemy army turned out to be as many as five or six thousand, and the remaining soldiers and weapons are all hidden in the more than 100 grain carts, and they secretly crawl out of the grain carts when the little nephew is not paying attention, General Li took advantage of the fact that the little nephew was not paying attention and suddenly took action to control the little nephew, which led to the capture of our people, and the little nephew swore not to surrender, but how could they use our people to coerce each other, how could the little nephew bear to suffer a tragedy because of this? I had no choice but to make an argument and surrender to General Li. Yan Yan couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he heard this, and said slowly: "It turns out that this is the case, so I don't blame you for this, alas, it's only to blame Ben Jiang for believing in Li Dian, but it was used by you Huang Zhong, which led me to lose Ba County, and even I was humiliated because of this." It's useless to say a lot now, Huang Zhong, I know that you are resourceful, but today I have served you, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, I Yan Yan will never have half a complaint, but unfortunately because of my Yan Yan's temporary negligence, I missed the lord's major affairs, resulting in the loss of Yizhou's foundation, which makes me under Jiuquan, how can I have the face to see the first lord? When Yan Yan said this, he couldn't help but cry. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong slowly stood up, came to Yan Yan, and said with a smile: "Old General Yan is full of loyalty, how can this general kill you?" Now that my lord is conquering the world, he is in need of a talent like a general, and I hope that the general can assist my lord to create an immortal foundation, and work hard to end the war in the world and return the people to a long-term peace and stability. With that, he was ready to untie him. Yan Yan suddenly shook Huang Zhong's arm open, and said angrily: "Huang Zhong, no matter how much you say, it's useless, you are unrighteous and invade our state and county!" There are only decapitated generals here, and there are no generals who surrender! Huang Zhong was furious when he heard this, pointed at Yan Yan and said: "Yan Yan, you also claim to be a righteous gentleman and a loyal martyr, and now it seems that you are just a man who has no faith in his words, who kept saying that he wanted to gamble with me tonight?" Now that the words have not fallen, he even thinks about repenting, is this a gentleman's doing? What's more, Liu Zhang is weak and suspicious, not the master of the master, even if my lord does not come, he will definitely be plotted by Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others in the future, today my lord is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and he is the master of Kuang to help the world and protect the Han, isn't it much stronger than Liu Zhang? You can go to Jiaozhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places to inquire and see what kind of peaceful life the people under my rule live in, where the people are prosperous and live and work in peace and contentment? Huang Zhong saw that Yan Yan was silent, and he knew that the other party had something to move, so he untied him with his own hands, took off his clothes and put them on him, invited him to the upper seat, and then bowed: "My lord has always admired loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, and he has entrusted the general at the time of separation, and the old general Yan of Ba County should be strong, brave and loyal, and the most admired, so that I must find a way to recruit the old general no matter what, and it is precisely because of this that the lord entrusted the general to resolutely not forcibly attack the city, so as to cause excessive casualties among the soldiers and civilians of Ba County, so that Yan Taishou is not good to behave." Here is a letter from the lord entrusting the old general to be the general of Bajun Taishou and Bingzhong, and he also asks the general not to abandon it. Yan Yan was taken aback when he heard this, and then sighed: "I'm just a reckless man below, how can I be?" It's worth so much concern for Lord Taiwei! Anyway, the general is willing to surrender, but I just hope that the general will give the Taiwei and hope to save Liu Yizhou's life, otherwise, no matter how kind the Taiwei is, the last general will only repay Liu Yizhou with death. Huang Zhong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Yan Yan's hand and said, "This general, please rest assured, even the ambitious Lord Sun Quan has not been killed, let alone Lord Ji Yu, who is also a member of the Han clan with him?" Yan Yan listened to Huang Zhong's words, and then he felt a little calmer, and said after a while: "Now that Liu Yizhou's big thing is difficult to achieve, the last general will help General Huang to recruit people from all counties in Ba County, Jiangyang is too shou Cheng Ji is my friend, and Fuling is too shou Lei Tong is my old department, as long as the last general repairs a book, they can be recruited, so that the general and Pei Jiaozhou will join forces, it will be easier to pacify the traitor Yonghong, right?" "It turns out that even Jiangyang Taishou and Fuling Taishou have such a close connection with the general, which is really good, hehe, in this way, we will definitely be able to quell the war faster, and when the time comes, the general will definitely ask the lord for the general." Huang Zhong's excited beard was trembling, and he lightly punched Yan Yan, but he didn't expect to hit the knife wound on Yan Yan's left arm all of a sudden...... In the early days of the next thing, due to Yan Yan's surrender, the two counties of Fuling and Jiangyang surrendered successively, and Huang Zhong's army was in Qianwei. Qianwei is the gateway to Chengdu, once Huang Zhong occupies this place, even Chengdu is difficult to preserve, so Liu Zhang on the one hand scolded Yan Yan for betraying the lord of ingratitude, on the other hand, he urgently transferred Qianwei Taishou Zhang Yi, who was fighting on the front line of Qianwei, to lead an army of 20,000 to return quickly and stick to Qianwei, so that the strength of Qianwei was reduced to 60,000, and in order to ensure the safety of Qiqi, Yonghong sent 10,000 troops to guard the north gate of Yizhou County, and the strength of the besieged Yizhou County was reduced to 50,000. After some discussion with Liu Xi, Yuan Hui, Xu Jing, Xu Ci, Liu Ba, Xue Zong, Cheng Bing and others, Pei Qian decided to lead the army to attack, first let the army of Gaoding, the king of Yueyi, retreat. So Pei Qian sent someone to secretly infiltrate Gao Ding's army, bribed Gao Ding with a lot of money, let him retire from the army, and promised to give Yue Qian 300,000 grains and 100,000 horses of silk after Liu Qi obtained Yizhou. In this way, the enemy army attacking Yizhou County was left with 20,000 Yonghong, 5,000 Lu Kai, and 10,000 Meng Shu, and now the gap in the balance of strength between the two sides has narrowed again. Next, Pei Qian ordered Shamoke to lead the army to rob Yonghong's camp, causing Yonghong's army to lose seven or eight thousand people, and had no choice but to retreat. Up to now, the enemy army besieging Yizhou County was only 10,000 people, and Meng Shu saw that the situation was not good, so he naturally would not fight alone, so he decided to withdraw his troops. Originally, Meng Yu thought that Pei Qian had relieved the siege of Yizhou County, and then he should rectify the army and horses to recover the Qiqi, and he would definitely not be embarrassed by himself again, so the army did not make any precautions at all, but he did not expect that this time Pei Qian almost poured all his troops into the area of Dongnong Mountain, which he had to pass through, to set up an ambush, and when his army passed through the canyon of Dongnong Mountain, Pei Qian's ambush soldiers were killed in all directions. Although Meng Xu's strength is comparable to Pei Qian's, this is just a rabble that lacks military discipline, how can it be compared with Pei Qian's elite soldiers in a hundred battles? What's more, his subordinates really encountered an ambush without any warning, so the battle situation can be imagined, Meng Huo's subordinates fled for their lives, and Meng Huo himself became a prisoner of the other party because the elephant he was riding was particularly obvious.
"I, Meng Shu, have been invincible all my life, but I didn't expect to become a prisoner today, which is really a wonderful irony." Meng Shu sighed deeply, and couldn't help but say with a wry smile: "The matter has come to this, so I have to resign myself to fate." ”
