Chapter 363: Hongtu Hegemony

The thick shaft of the arrow slammed into the tower.

Let the west city tower, which had collapsed partly, shake at this moment, and the soft soil soaked inside, the lower part also began to collapse, and as soon as the bottom collapsed, the top could not support it, producing a chain effect, and it continued to fall.

The soldiers who were concentrated on the city tower by Yuan Tan could not react, and they could not escape, and fell down with the collapsed city wall, some were crushed in the masonry and mud, and some fell high, and the screams continued.

The western wall collapsed for a long time in an instant.

Yuan Tan and a few of them ran in time and did not fall.

"Stop!"

Yang Zhao waved his hand and said: "Spread the news into the city, we are outside the city, we have prepared hot porridge, as well as therapeutic medicines, and the shore of Zhangshui next to it, and a place for them to change their clothes, and the people in the city can come out and surrender at any time, regardless of the military or civilian." ”

What he has to do is to defeat Yuan Tan's people's hearts in the city, so that he can win the people's hearts, so that Yuan Tan can't do anything.

The news quickly spread in, and when the people in the city heard it, they immediately became excited, and immediately some people ignored Yuan Tan's restraints and hurriedly ran out through the collapsed city wall.

Seeing that someone was out of the city, the other people in the city, as if inspired, walked out of the city one after another, no longer caring about Yuan Tan.

"Stop them, don't let them out of town!"

Yuan Tan understood Yang Zhao's thoughts at a glance, and shouted anxiously.

The people in the city all went out, and it didn't make any sense for him to hold an empty city, not to mention that this empty city couldn't be defended at all, but the soldiers in the guard army soon began to disobey Yuan Tan's orders.

In this month, they had enough of it, and they also wanted to drink a bowl of hot porridge and take a good bath, so some people laid down their weapons and walked outside the city, although they did not directly say surrender, but now the practice is almost the same as surrender.

"Come back, all back......"

Yuan Tan stood on the city tower, shouting weakly, but no one listened to his orders.

Xu You shook his head and sighed: "Eldest prince, let's go out of the city, go north to Handan, and join the main guild, right?" Yang Zhao is now going to settle the people in the city, and there should be no spare troops, so he will intercept us and leave. ”

To stay any longer is almost to die.

Yuan Tan naturally didn't want to die, so he readily agreed to Xu You's suggestion, gathered the personal soldiers who could still command now, plus Yuan's troops, a total of more than 2,000 people, moved open the north gate, a small door blocking stone, walked out in embarrassment, and was about to flee to the north.

"I'm finally waiting for you to come out!"

Zhou Cang brought 2,000 men and immediately intercepted them from near the city tower in the north.

They would not let Yuan Tan go, and the two thousand people directly attacked and killed him.

"Protect the eldest prince, go quickly!"

Xin Ping shouted.

The difference in the strength of the two sides is a bit big, Yuan Tan's side is not Zhou Cang's opponent at all, and he quickly killed all the soldiers, and then captured Yuan Tan, Xu You, etc., as well as Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi and other people from the Yuan family.

"Take it back!"

Zhou Cang shouted.

The soldiers quickly moved their hands, tied up Yuan Tan and the others, and brought them back to the camp.

Near the camp.

The soldiers in the army, all sorted, the crossbowmen pulled the bowstrings slightly, and the three-bow bed crossbow and the thunderbolt took a favorable position.

There are a lot of residents in Yecheng, and now there are a huge number of people pouring out, and fortunately, Yang Zhao's food is sufficient, so that it will not be consumed by them, but such a large number of people, if there is turmoil, it will be difficult to suppress.

Yang Zhao must prepare in advance, in case someone dares to stir up, it will be violently suppressed, killing a hundred or dozens of people, and deterring these people, but fortunately, there is no unrest.

"Lord, Yuan Tan is really going to run away from the city, I brought people back!"

Zhou Cang escorted Yuan Tan and the others back to the camp.

"General, we really don't want to be your enemy, please let it go."

Yuan Tan was very afraid of death, and first begged: "This is our grudge with Gongsun Zhan, the Yuan family will always return to the imperial court, please!" ”

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang also looked at Yang Zhao with a longing gaze.

They don't want to die, but if they fall into the hands of Yang Zhao, whether they can survive or not is a question.

"Take it down and lock it up!"

Yang Zhao waved his hand.

The soldiers were about to take these people into the camp to detain them, but at this moment, among the Yuan family, a man suddenly jumped up and gritted his teeth and bumped into Yang Zhao.

"Lord, be careful!"

Zhou Cang was shocked when he saw it, stabbed this person with one shot, and shouted: "Catch them all again." ”

The soldiers quickly pressed Yuan Tan and the others to the ground so hard that they didn't move.

This scene frightened the Yuan Tan brothers.

"General, he's not ours, he's ...... His name is Yuan Yao, he is the son of Yuan Shu, the general killed Yuan Shu, and he fled to Yecheng, which has nothing to do with us. ”

Yuan Tan hurriedly explained.

"He's Yuan Yao?"

Yang Zhao's gaze fell on the person who was killed.

At the beginning in Jing County, Yuan Shu's eldest son Yuan Yao did escape and couldn't find anyone anywhere, but it was normal for him to come to Yecheng to join Yuan Shao.

"Keep going!"

Yang Zhao didn't kill them, waved his hand casually, and then asked Zhou Cang to move Yuan Yao's body out.

When a few soldiers moved, a piece fell from Yuan Yao's corpse, wrapped tightly in a yellow cloth, and I don't know what it was.

"Lord!"

The soldier hurriedly picked it up and sent it to Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao took it and touched it for a moment, this thing was like a jade seal.

"Could it be the heirloom jade seal?"

They were in Jing County, and they couldn't find the heirloom jade seal.

When crusading against Dong Zhuo, this thing was taken away by Sun Jian, and finally fell into the hands of Yuan Shu.

Yang Zhao quietly put it away and walked outside the camp again.

The action to relieve the people of Yecheng was carried out normally, and I was relieved to see that there was no chaos.

Jia Xu and Feng Ming, as well as Zhuge Liang, all went to command and arrange in person, and the other generals were busy.

Although Zhuge Liang is not very old and has not experienced many things, he has a strong learning ability, and he coordinates and arranges with Jia Xu's side, and does it neatly and orderly.

"Not bad!"

Yang Zhao was very satisfied with Zhuge Liang.

After a brief inspection, Yang Zhao went back to the tent and opened the thing he got from Yuan Yao, and sure enough, it was the heirloom jade seal, and the bottom was clearly carved - ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity.

These eight seal characters are extremely clear.

"It's true!"

Yang Zhao took it in his hand and studied it for a while, the jade seal of the country is there, and he will stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty in the future, which can be justified a lot, he does not plan to hand over the jade seal of the country, Liu Wei is not worthy of it.

[The jade seal of the country has been detected, the system has been bound to the host, and the Hongtu hegemony panel is officially opened. 】

At this moment, the voice of the system appeared in Yang Zhao's mind without warning.

Yang Zhao was stunned when he heard this!
