Chapter 428 Each has his own thoughts
It's just that once Julu City is taken, Yuan Shao's fate is conceivable, so what about these Wenchen generals? If you don't prepare in advance, it seems that there is a choice.
Yuan Shao is a prince, it stands to reason that Zhang Chao will definitely not let him go, and the following people can be regarded as small fish and shrimp, whether to let it go or not, but it is just between the thoughts of others. For them, life and death are decided in a single thought.
As the old saying goes, no one wants to die. Seeing that Zhang Chao's army can attack the city at any time, once it starts, the result is conceivable, and it can be imagined how chaotic it will be in Julu City now.
And not only Wen Chen, but also the generals are not as belligerent as before, perhaps because they saw Zhang Chao's strength, especially Yan Liang and Wen Chou were all captured, Gao Ran and others were also killed, and these generals finally knew the power of the general.
Even if he is General Gao Lan, he retreated to Julu City with 5,000 defeated soldiers, and he did not have the same demeanor as in the past, but in addition to patrolling the city wall, he stayed at home, and even found a group of people to drink and have fun every day. I'm afraid that he has already felt that his time is running out, and even so, enjoying one day is a day.
Gao Ran is Yuan Shao's nephew, just by virtue of this, I am afraid that Zhang Chao will not let go of himself, and he knows his inner meaning well, but he is a little self-defeating.
If it were usual, Gao Lan's actions would have reached Yuan Shao's ears, and he would definitely be punished, but now, Yuan Gong himself is difficult to protect, how can he still punish others, and now in this situation, are you not afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers if you go to punish?
No one paid attention to what Gao Ran did, and some other generals did the same after seeing it. Anyway, the days of life are so short, there seems to be no big difference between being killed by military law or being killed by Zhang Chao's siege army. History books are always written by the victorious side, and they don't expect anything good to say about them.
Some generals were in chaos and were still unmanaged, which made the entire Julu City not only more chaotic, but a gloomy atmosphere, as if the sun was about to set, but rather a gloomy atmosphere.
The generals' performance seems to have confirmed the saying that they eat and wait for death. In comparison, the performance of the ministers was slightly better.
This is not to say that there are no people among the Wenchen who give up on themselves, but that most of the Wenchen are still smart, and they don't want to die, so they need to do something at this stage. And the first thing that came to mind for the Wenchen led by Guo Tu was to go to the prison to see Fengji.
At the beginning, Cao Cao suddenly raised his troops, Yuan Shao asked everyone to discuss countermeasures, and only this Feng Ji gave an opinion, that is, to surrender Cao Cao.
At that time, this point of view obviously did not have full conditions, and some people did not understand this, and the good-faced Yuan Shao was even more furious, and he was about to push it out and behead it. If it weren't for the plea of the ministers, I'm afraid that he would have died now.
In this way, Feng Ji was in prison for a long time, and now that the army is besieging the city, and there is no way to escape, all the ministers naturally think of him, so after discussing it, they went to the prison without telling the lord Yuan Shao.
At this time, the Julu Prison was far less tightly guarded than before. The people here are also thinking about what they will do if the city is broken. And Feng Ji is a person who advocates talking to Zhang Chao and surrendering, and they naturally will not be embarrassed by it if they know the reason.
In this way, the current Feng Ji is still very good. Three meals a day, and you can even see meat foam from time to time, this prison life is already satisfying.
When Guo Tu, Wang Xiu and others appeared in prison, Feng Ji seemed to have expected it a long time ago, glanced at everyone, and couldn't help but smile after seeing that except for Chen Lin, basically all the Wenchen in Julu had arrived.
Chen Lin didn't appear here because of his fate.
The original crusade against Zhang Chao was written by this person, which was famous all over the world at that time, which also made him have a mortal enmity with Zhang Chao, and at this moment, others can talk about surrender, and he really can't do it. He naturally became one of the few main fighters among the Wenchen.
"Haha, Brother Yuantu, it seems that you are doing well." Guo Tu led everyone to Feng Ji, looking at the other party's ruddy complexion and full of energy, not at all like a prison person, he couldn't help but sigh.
Of course, I am also very relieved and happy in my heart. They were worried that Feng Ji's body was not good, if this was the case, I was afraid that they would still have to adjust the law first. But now it seems that this is too much to worry about.
"Haha, Brother Guo, you're finally here." is also holding his fist in front of his chest, Feng Ji said politely.
"Well, here, here, the current Julu City is really too chaotic, what to do next needs to be discussed with Brother Yuantu and come up with the charter." Guo Tu is not pretentious, which directly states his purpose.
To say that with Guo Tu's wisdom, it is difficult to say things in such a straightforward way, but now the situation is already very critical, if you can't make a decision before Zhang Chao's army attacks the city, if you make preparations, once you attack the city, it will be too late to regret it.
It was precisely because of the urgency of the matter that they avoided the fog of dialogue between literati, but took the initiative to explain their intentions.
Feng Ji naturally saw the meaning of the comer, but after all, he is now a guilty body, and he is even a prisoner, although it is okay to eat in the prison, but if he says that he will leave, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it. And if you want to get out of here, you can only wait for someone to visit you.
Now that Guo Tu and the others are here, this is also Feng Ji's opportunity to leave here.
It's just that although he has a plan in his heart, Feng Ji still pretended to be puzzled and said: "Oh, Brother Guo, what are you talking about, I am a criminal now, how can I discuss big things with you?" ”
"Your identity is just because you told the truth earlier, there is no sin, and we all know this." Guo Tu spoke, and turned back to the people who came with him. At this time, he can't just stand up by himself, he needs to unite everyone, so that even if Yuan Shao knows, he will not be responsible for the law.
Looking at Guo Tu's gaze, Wang Xiu and the others knew what they meant, and they all nodded hurriedly in agreement, looking at their appearance, they clearly agreed with what they just said.
These ministers all had this intention, and Feng Ji knew that his chance to get out of prison had come. When even said politely: "Now that the general's men and horses are besieging the city, except for the first battle, there is only a surrender, so it seems that everyone wants to choose the latter?" ”
Although he was in prison, there was such a big movement outside the city, and Feng Ji naturally knew a lot of things, so he could naturally see that Guo Tu and others had good intentions.
"Yes, we choose the latter." Guo Tu and the others once again said in unison.
"Okay, that's the case, let me out first, I'll talk to the general, and try to ensure everyone's safety as much as possible." Seeing that everyone was unanimous, Feng Ji was not polite, and said very directly.
Hearing that Feng Ji could talk to Zhang Chao, Guo Tu and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the jailer on the side to open the door.
When the jailer saw so many adults coming, he had already panicked, but now it was naturally what people said.
Feng Ji was able to get out of prison, but he didn't do it immediately, but looked at everyone: "I can talk to the general, but I always have to have some bargaining chips, otherwise, it's just empty mouth, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
What Guo Tu and others want is someone to negotiate with Zhang Chao, and this person is the most suitable for Feng Ji if he thinks about it, after all, this person has publicly stated that he wants to surrender to Zhang Chao, just by virtue of this, the other party will be afraid that he will have a good impression when he knows it. That's why we have today's invitation, and as for the requirements, they have already prepared them.
"Brother Yuantu, don't worry, I have already contacted many generals in the city, as long as the general can let me go, they will cause trouble in the city, and then the general's army only needs to give an order, and it can rush into the city without hindrance. Oh, here we jointly wrote the surrender document, please Brother Yuantu accept it. Guo Tu stepped forward and said, and at the same time handed over a silk cloth.
Obviously, Guo Tu and others have been prepared for these things. And also contacted a lot of generals, in this way, it is equivalent to having enough internal response, Zhang Chao does not have to spend too much strength to attack the giant deer, and the loss will naturally be much smaller, this is the bargaining chip in their hands.
"That's it, then I have to trouble everyone to send me out of the city, so I'll go to Jinyang to talk to the general." Feng Ji nodded, he believed these words, with the idea that these Wenchen wanted to spare their lives, it was normal to think that they would prepare in advance.
Feng Ji expressed his attitude, and then everyone discussed some details together, and when it was dark, Feng Ji was sent out by the North City Gate.
Outside the north city gate, as soon as the city gate was opened, it attracted the attention of the Second Army stationed here. The patrol soldiers immediately sent the news to the ears of the corps commander Huang Zhong and the military advisor Lu Su.
"Is this Yuan Jun going to break through?" As soon as he heard that the city gate was opened, Huang Zhong grabbed the Cirrus Knife, looking like he was about to get on a war horse.
"General Huang, don't worry, if you really want to break through, there should be movement now, it can be seen that this is not the case. In that case, it would be okay for us to go and see. Lu Su was very calm, he didn't believe that Yuan Shao would suddenly break through, there was no warning at all. As I said, there are many spies arranged by the lord in the city, and there must be such a big event, and there is always some news coming out.
