It is true that the fighting spirit of the Yuan army is getting lower and lower, but relying on the advantages of Runan City, it is still not possible for Cao's army to break through quickly.

The battle has been fought for two whole days, and both sides have invariably ceased fighting and rested. It's all because of exhaustion to the extreme, and if you don't rest again, you're afraid of mutiny.

In the camp tent, Liu Bei was discussing with Cao Ang and others about the next countermeasures, and suddenly heard the noise outside the camp tent, Liu Bei couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Why is there any noise outside the tent?" ”

A soldier dodged into the camp tent, hugged his fists and said: "Report, General Qiyu, a man named Wei Yan holds the heads of Lei Bo and Chen Lan and opens the city gate wide." ”

"Who?" Cao Ang stepped forward with a shocked face, picked up his own soldiers, and asked hurriedly, "Who did you just say?" ”

"He claims to be Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang." The soldier swallowed his saliva and said cautiously.

Liu Bei and the others looked at each other and didn't know why this name made Cao Ang have such a big reaction, Liu Bei asked out loud: "Why is Zi Yu like this?" Could it be that you know this Wei Yan, or is there fraud in it? ”

Cao Ang put down his own soldiers, patted him, let out a long breath, and hugged his fist to Liu Bei and said: "I heard of this person in the early years, but I never thought that he was in Runan. Cao Ang can be described as surprised and happy, if he really wants to sleep, someone will come to give him a pillow, and now, after Cao Zhang's mouth, he already knows that Cao Pi and the Hanoi Shi clan are allied, aside from the clan relatives, the team available to him is nothing more than Wang Ping, Ji Ling, Cao Zidan, and the four righteous brothers. Wei Yanlai said that he would take him into his pocket and add a big boost to himself.

When you fight with those warriors, you can still have more hole cards in your hand, isn't it time, can't you end the game and let Lao Cao finish it for you, in that case, you will lose it.

Cao Ang's military generals and celebrities' collection habit has been opened, and then again, there are a lot of military generals who have "collected", and it is time to find a like-minded strategist, and suddenly remembered a figure in his mind, and said in his heart: "Quasi-master, you have to wait for me." ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and if Cao Ang could be so surprised, this Wei Yan would definitely not be simple. Fu remembered the bridge that fought with Cao Ang at the head of Runan City that day, Cao Ang's martial arts Liu Bei had a number in his heart, and over time, he would definitely not be under his two sworn brothers, this bridge Rui walked more than a dozen rounds in Cao Ang's hands, although he was finally defeated by Cao Ang with a bully gun stabbing his shoulder socket, but it is enough to see that this bridge is also real.

"What did you just say?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table and asked.

The soldiers shuddered, "There is a ...... named Wei Yan"

"It's not like this, what happened to Runan just now?" “…… Wei Yan opened the city gates. ”

Liu Bei pinched himself silently, and the pain made him know that this was real, not a dream. Liu Bei looked at Cao Ang, and saw that the latter was also looking at him in disbelief.

Cao Ang realized that his attention was shifted to the name Wei Yan, but he ignored the most important thing, that is, Wei Yan reversed Yuan Shu and took the heads of the two generals under his command, and opened the city gate to be precise, this can't be called anti, this should be called uprising, called Toucheng!

"Report." Seeing Ji Ling walking in with his whole body draped, he hugged his fists and said with a sonorous fist: "Tan Malai reported, the Wei family of the Runan clan gathered all the people to rebel, and about half of the soldiers in the city have no fighting spirit. After a pause, he said, "Then Wei Yan is the whole clan has surrendered." Cao Ang smacked his lips and said, "This guy is really generous." Thinking in his heart, what did Yuan Shu do to make Wei Yan's family let out, and he would rather risk the destruction of the clan than do a big vote.

"The last time I heard that every day after dinner, Yuan Jun would risk his death to pick up the leftover meat of our army after the meal, presumably because he couldn't eat enough, right?" Guan Yu analyzed on the side.

Cao Zhen was surprised and said: "The soldiers can't eat enough, let alone the common people." A sentence from the pen of God made them puzzled, presumably Yuan Shu did not take it seriously, and the food he got became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the city was still like this?

"Now is not the time to think about this, arming the army for war and entering the city to occupy it is the top priority." Liu Bei said so, and then began to order the arrangement, and the generals performed their duties. Preparations were made to enter the city.

The attack on Runan ended with a strange ending, which made Cao's army confused, Rao is Liu Bei's experience in fighting for many years, but he had never encountered such a scene.

Riding a horse in front of Wei Yan, he saw him half-kneeling on the ground, and the two pills in front of him revealed that there was still viscous plasma, which made Cao Ang frown, looked at Wei Yan and said, "But in front of Wen Chang?" ”

Hearing someone call himself, Wei Yan didn't raise his head, but bowed lower, and said softly: "Wei Yan, a common man in Runan, have the courage to sacrifice two good heads to the Heavenly Army." Cao Ang looked at Liu Bei, but saw Liu Bei raise his hand to signal him, Cao Ang cleared his throat and said, "You killed these two people?" ”

"The villain just picked up a bargain." Wei Yan was unusually humble, for fear that what he said was wrong and he would get into trouble, it was true that Cao Jun's treatment was countless times stronger than theirs, but who knew if this Cao Jun's general was a violent and unscrupulous guy, in case he was annoyed, let alone himself, the entire Wei clan would be finished.

"That is, if you are beheaded, how can there be a reason to give it? Give you a credit. Wei Yan raised his head sharply when he heard this, and saw a burly general, wearing red gold armor, immediately hanging an overlord gun, and said to himself with a warm face, and seeing that he was a few years younger than himself, he hugged his fists and said: "Dare to ask the general's name, and I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

"My name is Cao Ang."

Liu Bei looked at Cao Ang and then at Wei Yan, who was in action, and asked, "Do you know where that Qiao Rui is?" ”

“……”

After entering the city, it seems that there have never been soldiers guarding the entire Runan, which can be called weird, looking at everyone's doubts, Wei Yan explained: "Half of the soldiers of Runan are the heirs of the people who live here, and the Yuan thief is known to the people of Runan, so my Wei family has the courage to be a lobbyist." Wei Yan said that he didn't say anything here, just because there were many people in front of him holding knives, forks and torches, facing Liu Bei and the others.

The old man at the head is the uncle in the mouth of Boss Wei, and he is obviously the patriarch of the Wei family in Runan.

He bowed tremblingly and saluted: "The old man has no long things, so he has to offer a gift for my clan to see him, and I hope that the heavenly army will accept it." As soon as the old man raised his hand, the young man behind him escorted a woman forward, and the woman had two lines of tears on her face.

I heard the old man say: "This woman is Yuan Shu's beloved daughter, Yuan Shu ordered someone to escort her to Hebei to deliver a letter, but I intercepted her." The old man said.

Liu Bei couldn't hear what the old man was saying at the moment, and when he saw that the woman was twenty-eight years old, Liu Bei snorted coldly and said, "Sure enough, the demon woman." Come and go, I'll interrogate you. Cao Ang glanced at Liu Bei a little inexplicably, and muttered to himself, "Heh, Yang Guang has a sense of sight." Then he said solemnly: "Please ask the imperial uncle to interrogate the Yuan family, and I will meet our Emperor Yuan here." ”

"Second brother and third brother, there must be no mistake in obeying Cao Gongzi's orders." Liu Bei looked at Cao Ang with appreciative eyes and said, Cao Zi can be taught.

's eldest brother spoke, how could the two of them not follow? They all promised to follow Cao Ang, and on the way, Cao Zhen couldn't help but whisper: "Uncle Huang is really "disgusting". ”

Cao Ang glanced at Cao Zhen and said: "That's natural, as the uncle of the Han Emperor, Xuande Gong naturally won't allow anyone to disturb the court, in case that Yuan Shinu misses any important information in the past, there will be endless troubles." ”

When Guan Zhang and the others saw Cao Ang speaking for Liu Bei like this, they couldn't help but look at Cao Ang gratefully, "Knowing my brother and elder, Cao Gongzi is also." ”

In this way, Cao Ang, as the representative of Liu Bei, accepted the Wei family's audience, asked them to go back to their respective homes, guaranteed that Qiu did not make any mistakes, and hinted that they would also have Runan in Huainan. Everyone was overjoyed to see that they were about to retreat, but they were stopped by Cao Ang and said: "There is a man named Qiao Rui, who can capture him alive and hand him over to Uncle Liu Huang, Uncle Huang is seriously injured." Zhang Fei sighed and said: "Big brother's unintentional words, Cao Gongzi actually remembered it in his heart, it really is." Guan Yu always felt that it was weird, but he couldn't say it.

Cao Ang watched the Wei clan take the order away, and began to think in his heart, he should be able to see Yuan Highway who he should call his uncle later, I don't know how he will react when he sees him later, Cao Ang began to analyze why Yuan Shu was defeated, first of all, not to let the soldiers eat This is just one of the points, if you really want to talk about it, you have to start with his character and his career.

Among the heroes who rose together, if the conditions are the best, the first two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the son of Sikong Yuan Feng, the Yuan family of Runan, the third prince of the fourth world, this is the standard gate valve, and later generations often say that Yuan Benchu is the beginning of Tianhu in the four states of Hebei, and the Yuan Highway is the beginning of Dihu.

Although Yuan Shao is his elder brother, he is a concubine, and in this era of paying attention to family background, such a mother has greatly discounted Yuan Shao's background.

However, Yuan Shu is the son and son of the Yuan family. Therefore, from the beginning, he looked down on his brother, and once said that Yuan Shao was a slave of their Yuan family.

In this era, a person becomes an official, to a large extent, it depends on the selection and appreciation of the big guy, once he is a protégé of others, he is equivalent to a courtier.

Some people, between the emperor and the old master, often choose to be loyal to the old master, but such a person can still be approved by the public opinion of today's society.

Therefore, under the condition that the imperial court is weak and the princes are divided into one side, princes like Yuan Shu have a natural advantage.

And Yuan Shu, not to mention how it is now, when he was young, he was also chivalrous and good, and he had a swordsman under him, not as good as Yuan Shao, but he also had the name of chivalry.

Moreover, it was very fashionable to choose to fight with the eunuchs, occupying the moral high ground and winning considerable prestige.

In fact, in his Yuan Shu's opinion, like Cao Cao, who is eunuch and ugly, the descendants of the adopted son of the eunuch, and Liu Bei, who is known as the emperor and is actually just a poor weaver and peddler, Yuan Shu didn't look at it at all. It's just that such a high-ranking person, no matter how ambitious he is, will not study hard, because if he doesn't study, he still has officials. But if the stomach is empty and there is no ink on the chest, then it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of being a master and a low hand.

However, such an official eunuch's son, along the way, has a smooth career, flowers and greetings everywhere, so once he becomes the master of one party, he naturally swells very much, so he rashly attacked Cao Cao's base Yanzhou. The result was very smooth at the beginning, and after being lured deep by Cao Cao, he was defeated with one blow, and fled all the way to Runan.

If it is said that when he was in Nanyang, he was still a relatively important prince, but when he arrived in Jiujiang, he actually stood aside. The heroes of the Central Plains, no one takes him seriously anymore. But at this time, Yuan Shu's strength is certainly not good, but his ambition is still not small. Finding that Liu Bei's forces occupying Xuzhou were weak, he sent troops to attack Xuzhou, wanting to take Xuzhou and make a comeback. As a result, after fighting for a long time, Xuzhou was picked up by Lu Bu.

At this time, Yuan Shu, who was cramped in Runan, did something that no one dared to do at that time, and became the emperor!

Those who represent the Han should be Tu Gao! and the heirloom jade seal given to him by Sun Ce when he asked him for soldiers, and was ordered by Tianji Shou Yongchang!

What he was thinking about in his heart was the prestige of the fourth and third princes of their family, and he felt that as long as he put up the banner, he would call on the world and gather people, but what was the result?

"If Yuan Highway is thirsty now, I don't know if he is with honey or blood." Cao Ang said such a sentence abruptly, which made everyone confused and didn't know why.
