Chapter 487: Liu Dai begs for surrender

Due to the single channel of information transmission, the scene that occurred on the side of the west gate of Guanxian County was also staged at the other three city gates, and the soldiers everywhere were surprised and angry by the sudden attack.

Wang Yu's Liu Dai's troops were stunned under the city of Guanxian, no matter how unexpected and angry they were, it was useless, in fact, at this time, the county seat of Guanxian had already been taken by the 60,000 troops commanded by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.

At this time, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao lacked the power of long-range archers, so they could only use the rolling stones, sassal wood, fire oil and other items collected by the previous defenders to attack, otherwise the loss of Wang Yu's rout would be greater.

Previously, Yang Rui's army besieged and did not attack the 80,000 soldiers commanded by Wang Yu, on the one hand, in order to reduce the rate of loss of soldiers, and on the other hand, in order to delay time, and create conditions for Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to seize the county seat of Guanxian County from the north.

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao did not delay the military plane, and rushed to the city of Guanxian on time according to the previously agreed time, and captured the county seat of Guanxian County lightly.

After Wang Yu took away the 80,000 soldiers who had the power to fight a war, there were only about 20,000 soldiers left in Guanxian City, and all of them were low-level soldiers, basically staying at the level of the second order.

Under the offensive of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's tens of thousands of fifth-order special troops, iron guards, warrior soldiers, and 10,000 sword and shield soldiers, they also used all the more than 100 siege vehicles and more than 300 sets of ladders, specifically targeting the north gate of Guanxian County, which can be described as an offensive tide, not to mention 20,000 low-level soldiers, even if Wang Yu's army is all there, it is very difficult to stand it!

So after a siege battle, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao only spent half an hour. The amount of loss is also very small. Among the 20,000 or so guards in the city. More than half of the soldiers were captured, and they did not dare to resist at all, and the number of soldiers who escaped from the rest of the city gates was also in the thousands.

At this point in the war, the battle of Guanxian County has been settled, and the soldiers who followed Wang Yu back to Guanxian County were originally only about 30,000 people. Only two or three thousand of Liu Dai's subordinates were able to escape, and the rest were killed or captured.

To be more precise, this was a completely one-sided massacre, the main general Wang Yu and the two lieutenants were even all killed on the spot, the number of soldiers killed exceeded 20,000, and there were not a few people who disarmed and tied their hands on the spot.

In this battle, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wu Anguo and other three generals naturally played a super combat power and an extremely important auxiliary bonus role, Zhang Ning's auxiliary stunt also played a key role, and Guo Jia also shot and made a big move, so Yang Rui also had a preliminary understanding of Guo Jia's stunt.

From the beginning of the pursuit and battle, Yang Rui has never left Guo Jia's side. In order to learn more about its attributes, of course, there is also the intention of comprehensive safety.

However, Guo Jia's skills have never been blessed by Yang Rui. Therefore, Yang Rui didn't even know the name of his skill. And Guo Jia did show his skills, and the Wang Yu troops who fled in front were obviously affected by Guo Jia's skills, and they were dizzy and lost their resistance as if they were sleepwalking.

In the end, Yang Rui judged that Guo Jia used a charm stunt that was specially applied to the enemy, and it was likely to be an active range stunt, not an auxiliary stunt.

In any case, with Guo Jia's strategy, the battle of Guanxian can be described as a great victory, it took a full 10 game days before and after, but the results were impressive, while successfully taking the county seat of Guanxian, Yang Rui's troops destroyed Liu Dai's more than 80,000 soldiers defending the city, and captured nearly 15,000 soldiers, and the soldiers who escaped were only a very small part.

After calculation, Yang Rui once again obtained hundreds of thousands of plot merit points and points points, and the grain, grass, and property in Guanxian County also fell into Yang Rui's hands, of which only food was enough for Yang Rui's 300,000 army to eat for two months, and the amount of money also exceeded 30,000 gold coins.

In addition, Yang Rui also seized a large number of weapons, equipment and other items in the county seat of Guanxian County, and their value is not a small amount.

At the same time, the price paid by Yang Rui's side was very small, the number of soldiers lost always stayed in the triple digits, and they were all resurrected by Yang Rui using the plot points as soon as he took Guanxian, and the loss of the rest of the siege equipment was even more minimal.

By the time Yang Rui's soldiers and horses chased Guanxian and all the soldiers returned, it was already after the early morning of the second day, and Yang Rui immediately ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and pick up supplies.

It wasn't until the evening of the second day that Yang Rui gathered Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wu Anguo, and Guo Jia together, and it was indispensable to commend them.

"Report to the lord, Dingtao sent news that Qiao Mao Taishou finally captured Dingtao County two days ago after more than half a month of hard fighting, and all the soldiers of Liu Dai in the city were wiped out by Qiao Mao Taishou, and some soldiers who were willing to surrender were also beheaded by Qiao Mao Taishou.

After this battle, Qiao Mao Taishou eliminated nearly 20,000 of Liu Dai's defenders in Dingtao, but his own loss was about 30,000, and the remaining soldiers seemed to be less than 50,000.

However, after the first battle of Dingtao, Qiao Mao Taishou had already commanded his troops to go straight to the direction of Puyang City, and there were not many decent Liu Dai troops in the area south of the Yellow River to resist, I believe that in a few days, Qiao Mao Taishou could rush to the south bank of the Yellow River near Puyang City......"

Gao Shun continued.

Yang Rui didn't expect Qiao Mao to be really angry this time, before and after Yang Rui took the county seat of Guanxian County, Qiao Mao was eager to take revenge and even stormed Dingtao County, and also disposed of all the Liu Dai guards in the city!

In this way, Liu Dai really only has one city left to defend.

"What is the situation in Taishan County's original place?"

There was progress in Qiao Mao's direction, and Yang Rui also asked about the situation in Ding Yuan's direction by the way.

"Report to the lord, the various cities captured by the lord have been taken over by Ding Yuan Taishou one after another, and the garrison personnel have been relocated one by one, and the current shape is very stable, just waiting for the lord to nominate the new county commanders, county officials, county lieutenants and other officials in each county.

The lord took the county seat of Guanxian lightly, and his subordinates have sent someone to inform Ding Yuan Taishou, and it is believed that he will also come to take over the county seat of Guanxian after hearing the news. Gao Shun said again.

"Oh? Do you want me to nominate the relevant officials? ”

Yang Rui muttered noncommittally.

The configuration of the officials in the newly seized land of Liu Dai basically means the ownership of the territory, and Ding Yuan did not have any ambition at this point, and directly handed over this link to Yang Rui to dispose of.

In fact, the purpose of Yang Rui and Qiao Mao and Liu Dai to attack Liu Dai was to jointly manage Liu Dai's new territory with the two of them.

Now Ding Yuan's measures seem to be avoiding suspicion, and it seems that at this point, he can only wait until the war with Liu Dai is settled before discussing with the two.

The overall shape is very good, and then Yang Rui ordered the soldiers to rest in the county seat of Guanxian for two days, and he was going to command the troops again to go straight to Puyang City, but he didn't expect to receive a letter of begging from Liu Dai a day later!

It is indeed a begging book! Liu Dai was already scared by Yang Rui!

In Liu Dai's handwritten letter, he can be described as respectful to Yang Rui, and boasted over and over again about Yang Rui's many heroic achievements since the Yellow Turban Uprising, flattered Yang Rui's great achievements to the Han family, and indicated that he was willing to declare the title for Yang Rui as a clan relative of the Han family.

At the same time, Liu Dai did not forget the old feelings, and repeatedly recited his fate when he worked with Yang Rui in Yanzhou, and pointed out that Yang Rui had admired Yang Rui's name when he was a Juping official, not to mention the closeness of him and Yang Rui when they were both princes of the Eighteenth Route to fight Dong Zhuo.

And in the end, Liu Dai made it clear that he was willing to pay a huge amount of money to pay tribute to Yang Rui in Qingzhou, and at the same time cede the land to seek reconciliation, the specific amount can be negotiated, only to ask Yang Rui to restore his rights and interests in the land of Dongjun County, and the rest of his traditional territory in Yanzhou can be handed over to Yang Rui for disposal.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Dai expressed his willingness to abandon Yuan Shao's camp and join Yang Rui's camp in his letter very vaguely, and even made some guarantees for this, willing to unconditionally cooperate with any action launched by Yang Rui in the future, such as the alliance agreement, Liu Dai could not ask for it.

In short, he prayed to Yang Rui to give him a way to live......

"What do you think should be done to deal with Liu Dai's request for surrender?"

After receiving Liu Dai's letter of begging, Yang Rui asked Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wu Anguo, and Guo Jia to circulate it before asking.

After several people read Liu Dai's handwritten letter, most of them were a little surprised, no matter how bad Liu Dai was, he was also the storage of a prince, and they didn't expect him to be so low to Yang Rui and Qingzhou in the letter.

After being asked by Yang Rui, several people also looked thoughtful, weighing the gains and losses, and the scene was quiet for a while.

However, Yang Rui is not in a hurry, such a major event of war and peace can determine the trend and outcome of the entire war, and anyone must think carefully and weigh the stakes.

"Lord Zhou Mu, Guo Jia thought that for Liu Dai's begging to surrender, Lieyang Zhou Mu could naturally agree to come down......"

After a period of silence, this time it was Guo Jia who was the first to speak, and what he said also surprised several other people.

In fact, everyone understands that there are two sides to Liu Dai's begging to surrender whether he accepts it or not, but it is just that he needs to weigh which option is more beneficial!

Now that Guo Jia directly gave a positive opinion, the remaining people couldn't help but turn their attention to Guo Jia, wanting to hear the reasons why Guo Jia would do this. (To be continued......)
