The puppet emperor Yuan Shu, perversely, favored the traitors, harmed the people excessively, instructed his nephew Yuan Lin, poisoned the people of Guangling, and wanted to frame Bai Gong......

Fortunately, he guarded Yuan Lian too much, although he was loyal and brave, but he couldn't bear to see Li Min being victimized by Yuan thieves, punished the traitor and eliminated the evil, and immediately made a decision, captured Yuan Lin, counted his crimes, and killed him at the stake.

Later, he wanted to entrust Guangling to the adjutant, and asked Shouchun for guilt, and the people wept in the road, filled the city gate and blocked each other, and begged Yuan Lian to open the door to welcome Bai Gong into the city.

Yuan Lian felt that the people had been suffering for a long time, and he opened the city gate, Bai Gong felt his sincerity, and wanted to make it still lead Guangling, but Yuan Lian felt that he had betrayed the lord and surrendered to the general, and he had no face to return to the guard of a county, and repeatedly resigned.

……

Nonsense! After that, Guangling was the front line of the battle against Yuan Shu and even the Central Plains.

How could it be possible to let Yuan Jian be in charge of this place?

Yuan Jian himself also understands this truth, after a fake show, Chen Gong temporarily led the position of Guangling Taishou, and Yuan Lian, who wanted to return to the mountains and forests "temporarily", went to Hefei under the recommendation of Chen Gong to meet Bai Tu.

That's right...... Not only on the road to Guangling, but also outside Hefei and Qichun City, there was also an army of grain - so Yuan Jian came directly to Hefei outside the city and met Bai Tu.

In the three-way disaster relief army, Chen Gong was in charge of Guangling, Sun Ce was in charge of Qichun, and Hefei was led by Bai Tu himself, and Lu Bu was his deputy, and the lineup was the most luxurious, and it was also the latest to arrive this way.

Three days before Yuan Lian dedicated the city, Bai Tu and Lu Bu were stationed outside the city.

Because before the troops were dispatched, the staff of the Che Cavalry General's Mansion did not think that Hefei would take the initiative to surrender the city, after all, it was Yuan Yin, the son of Yuan Kui, who was guarding Hefei at this time, and the younger brother who was very close to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's surrender will directly affect Qi Chun, every city under Yuan Shu's rule, and every general under Yuan Shu's command!

However, as Yuan Shu's henchman, Yuan Yin's label of the Zhong clan is too heavy, and there is no room for surrender at all......

And as the general of the Zhong clan, Yuan Yin has the elite of Nanyang under his command, which is the background of the Yuan family, and the military spirit is far more stable than the ordinary Huainan army.

On the contrary, the situation of Qichun City was not better than Guangling before.

And when Guangling Yuan Jian has already set an example, Lu Mian's life is even more difficult.

After a rain of relief grains, Lu Mian's lieutenant persuaded him: "General, if this continues, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the city......

Xu Xing is Lu Mian's deputy general, and he is more accustomed to calling Lu Mian "general" rather than "Taishou".

After all, Lu Mian, the Taishou, is also in name only-less than one-fifth of the entire Jiangxia, and within the influence of Yuan Shu's influence, it is mainly this Qichun County.

"Again...... Wait a minute. Lu Mian said strugglingly.

When Xu Xing heard this, he also understood what Lu Mian was hesitating, and persuaded him with regret: "If the general wants to continue to defend the city, please replace the last person who will be in charge of the defense of the army in the urn city!" ”

Lu Mian looked at him and nodded in response—Xu Xing was his most trusted lieutenant.

Sure enough, within two days, there was turmoil in the army, and a Sima from another department suddenly attacked Lu Mian's camp tent in the urn city, but fortunately, Xu Xing never relaxed his vigilance and quelled the rebellion in time.

However, Lu Mian can also see that if he doesn't sacrifice the city, there is no way to live, not only is the people's hearts lost, but even the Huainan Army under his command, except for Xu Xing and his own personal soldiers, he doesn't know who is credible.

That night, after Lu Mian mentioned his face to Xu Xing'er, he tied himself to the mansion, while Xu Xing went up to the city tower to shout Sun Ce, hoping to surrender the city.

"Dedication? Hahaha, do you need someone to enter the city? When Sun Ce heard this, he laughed and shouted under the city tower.

Xu Xing: ???

Xu Xing saw Sun Ce's eagerness to try, and he really felt a little excited......

But in the end, Xu Xing decided that it was better to open the door honestly, in case he angered Sun Ce, it was not a joke.

With the current situation, even if he is really brought into the city and successfully besieged and killed, he will only let himself die more miserably, right?

"General Sun said with a smile, let's go out and deliver the surrender book...... Xu Xing said.

After Sun Ce saw that he really opened the city gate and came out, he asked with some curiosity, "What about that guy Lu Mian?" Were you captured alive or slaughtered? ”

Xu Xing was originally worried that Sun Ce would be embarrassed by Lu Mian because of some previous grievances, and said with some apprehension: "General Sun, General Lu is because his family is in Shouchun, so he ...... Only then did he bind himself to the palace and let the last general surrender on his behalf. General Lu also said before that when General Sun visited Qi Chun before, the heroic spirit of the young man made him quite heartbroken......"

Yuan Jian is a celebrity, and Lu Mian is Yuan Shu's general, and it is difficult for Yuan Shu to detain relatives for the former, but ...... Lu Mian's wife and children are all in Shouchun!

Now Lu Mian is army is mood is in turmoil and has to surrender, which is barely a non-war fault, but if he worships under the white map account in a grand manner, I am afraid that Yuan Shu will not be as righteous as Liu Bei.

"Hahaha, will Lu Mian still break for me? Can't see, can't see! What about your wife and children? No matter how upright Sun Ce was, he knew that Xu Xing was saying kind words.

Xu Xing smiled shyly and said, "The last general is an orphan and single. ”

If it was another main general, so alone, Yuan Shu might arrange a family affair, but Xu Xing was only a deputy general, and Yuan Shu might not recognize him.

After Sun Ce entered the city, he first routinely issued a list to settle the people, and then took over the treasury, and at the same time arranged the distribution of relief grain - as for the grain in the treasury? Of course, it must be processed into "bricks" first......

However, for Lu Mian, instead of being angry with him because of the previous hostage exchange, Sun Ce prepared beef and wine and sent Huang Gai to Fuzhong.

I didn't go there in person, so as not to be embarrassed by Lu Mian.

Later, according to Huang Gai, after Lu Mian received the cow wine, he cried bitterly, and in front of Huang Gai, he ate and drank heavily-with practical actions, he accepted Sun Ce's reward, that is, he expressed his intention to belong.

Of course, before Yuan Shu was completely defeated and Lu Mian's family was returned, he could only continue to be "under house arrest".

When Yuan Jian came to Hefei, the news of Qi Chun's dedication to the city also came to Hefei at the same time.

When meeting Bai Tu, Yuan Jian always put himself in the position of a celebrity who was "forced to ask for the people's life".

"Yao Qing is really a noble man! If you can get Yaoqing's help......"

Without waiting for Bai Tu to finish speaking, Yuan Jian took the initiative to refuse: "I would like to be near Jinling and plough in a grassland." ”

Yuan Jian knew in his heart that his "noble character" had created much convenience for Bai Tu, but he didn't take credit for half of it.

There is no need for Bai Tu to recognize more relatives...... Ahem, no, you don't need to pull it over.

After all, Yuan Lian's positioning is itself an "investment" bargaining chip for the Yuan family of Chen County...... One, with the current situation, it is natural that he has already bet on the side of Baitu.

Although according to Bai Tuxin's order, the trust index can only be ranked in the third echelon, but ...... It is also in the category of "credible" under the condition of "as long as the white picture is not defeated, there is no disadvantage, and there is no fierce conflict of interest".

Combined with his abilities, he can be in charge of a less important county, or serve as a non-confidential subordinate officer of the six departments.

Of course, Yuan Jian is a celebrity, how can he do the thing of dedicating the city to seek officials?

How to ...... You also have to look forward to it for a while, and then you will be out next year!

Yuan Lian's credit...... No, it should be said that it is a "noble character", and Bai Tu will naturally keep it in mind, after all, Yuan Lian's righteous act this time did give Bai Tu a lot of room to operate.

As Bai Tu said before, this time the people took the initiative to dedicate the city, and it was Yuan Lian who "wept in the road and filled the city gate", and the latter was "driven by righteousness" to open the city gate and welcome the Jiangdong army into the city......

In other words, if the guards of Hefei and Qichun are unwilling to open the door, it will be unkind and unjust, and the people will be prevented from opening the door to welcome each other, then ...... Just need some small help from the Jiangdong Army - can this be regarded as forcing each other with swords? Apparently not!

Before, there were people who could use Bai Tu's own words to card him, but now...... The white picture can be a righteous and bright "sending benevolence".

Regarding Yuan Lian's idea of going to Jinling to farm, Bai Tu also expressed his support, and sighed: "Hey, Xu Xing of Qichun yesterday has also been inspired by righteousness to bind Lu Mian and surrender to Qichun...... But sadly, now that Huainan is alive, it is not easy, and there are still some people who want to use their mantis arms as a car! ”

Yuan Jian was a little difficult to pick up what he said, and at the same time, he was also a little puzzled, why did the matter of Qichun yesterday spread to Hefei so quickly...... But he still echoed the sentence: "Bai Gong is benevolent." ”

"Just do your best for the people." Bai Tu waved his hand casually, indicating that these were nothing.

At the same time, his mind moved: "Before Yaoqing goes back, you might as well take a look, how can I send Rende to Hefei, which is imprisoned by Yuan thieves?" ”

"It's what you want." Yuan Lian nodded.

Unlike the thousands of people who went to deliver grain from Chen Gong and Sun Ce, the people who came to Hefei City were 30,000 Jiangdong elite soldiers, after all, for Hefei, Bai Tu knew from the beginning that it was impossible for soldiers to be bloodless, but they were just waiting for Qi Chun and Guangling, who would take the lead first - Chen Gong was right what he expected before, and it was really Yuan Lian who was clever.

Yuan Lian accompanied Bai Tu behind him, and finally inspected the catapult in the army - today, there will be no more relief food, Yuan Lian has already seen the simple polished stone bullets prepared next to him!

And...... Yuan Jian always felt that the catapults in the Baitu army seemed to be a little different from what he saw outside Guangling City.

Although Yuan Jian had not seen catapults from a distance when he was in Guangling, he had also looked down from the city tower, and those catapults should have throwing arms like "oblique spoons".

However, the catapults outside Hefei are not only longer, but also fixed on a taller shelf in the middle, and it seems that both ends of different lengths can be filled with heavy objects......

At this time, the Jiangdong Army was also vigorous, and Yuan Jian vaguely found that there seemed to be many officers in the army who could speak well, and they were spitting on groups of grassroots officers to stir up the meaning of this battle, and they were ...... The people who read the list when Anmin was released were about the same, but these people in front of him seemed more down-to-earth.

For Yuan Yin, who was stubborn and poisoned the people, and locked Bai Gong's benevolence outside the city gate, Bai Tu decided bitterly - this benevolence...... I must send!

If you don't open the door, then I'll break in!
