Chapter 352: A Shock

Time flows.

In 192 AD, the fourth year of the first peace of the Eastern Han Dynasty, November 11.

It has been three years, three months and three days since the last first bloody battle in Puyang.

That night, Zhuang Shaoyou paid tribute to the 20,000 soldiers who died in battle three years ago in the west of Puyang City, and then divided the troops into two routes, all the way to the east and all the way to the south.

The army marched all the way, not hurrying or slow, as if it were a normal march.

Along the way, there were constant discoveries, and then Pegasus headed east. Zhuang Shaoyou didn't pay attention to it at all, his scouts only lingered twenty miles near the army, and this distance could only be used to defend against sudden attacks.

In Yanzhou City, Liu Dai was lying on the couch tossing and turning.

Liu Dai's favorite concubine was pinching her back, and after a long time, the concubine finally couldn't help but ask:

"Sir, what's wrong with you tonight? What do you always sigh for? ”

Liu Dai sighed again and said, "I don't know what's wrong, master, I always feel frightened tonight!" ”

The concubine asked with concern, "Master, are you catching a cold?" How can you be frightened? In the past two years, our Yanzhou City has become more and more high and wide under your governance, the soldiers are strong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no one in the vicinity dares to offend you, what are you worried about? ”

Liu Dai couldn't say why, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and said with some distraction: "What do women know!" ”

The little concubine pinched him hard, then pouted and lay back in the bed, turned her back, and ignored Liu Dai.

Liu Daizheng was full of thoughts, and he was not in the mood to coax her, and after a long time, he fell asleep deeply.

"Oooo

"My lord! Oh no! Something happened! ”

Liu Dai had just slept for a short time, and he was restless, so he didn't sleep well at all, and when he heard the movement outside the house, he suddenly jumped up from the bed in fright, and shouted in a panic while dressing: "What's wrong?" Is the city broken? ”

"My lord, the city is fine, but there is an enemy marching towards Yanzhou!"

When Liu Dai heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately scolded with some annoyance: "You haven't started attacking the city yet, what are you making a fuss about!" ”

Liu Dai was neatly dressed and pushed the door out.

"How many people came? Who dared to attack Yanzhou so boldly? ”

The scout said cautiously: "My lord, it is the men and horses from Puyang City, the number is about 20,000, and all of them are infantry!" ”

When Liu Dai heard this, he took a long breath: "Who am I so bold, it turns out to be Zhuang ......"

Then he fainted.

The scout summoned some people to quickly wake up Liu Dai, and at this moment, several cronies and generals under Liu Dai's account also rushed over after hearing the news.

Liu Dai reluctantly collected his thoughts, and walked to the council hall tremblingly, and all the generals sat down in turn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you have in mind?"

All the generals looked solemn, and they all lowered their heads and kept silent.

Liu Dai had no choice but to ask: "Then you give the official a secret, can you defend the city?" ”

The generals glanced at each other, and one of them said solemnly: "Lord Hui, it shouldn't be able to hold it!" ”

When Liu Dai heard this, he was immediately angry, and slapped the table and scolded: "Zhuang Shaoyou can't come with 20,000 people, and my Yanzhou soldiers are strong and strong, and I also have 20,000 horses!" Relying on the strong city, why can't you hold it? What do you eat? ”

The general hurriedly explained: "My lord, it's not 20,000, it's 40,000!" ”

"What?! Forty thousand? ”

"My lord, the scout just sent news again, and Shouzhang City, a hundred miles to the east, also drove a team of men and horses, 10,000 of them are infantry and 10,000 are cavalry!"

When Liu Dai heard this, he fainted again.

It took a while before I woke up.

Liu Dai asked in a trembling voice, "What should we do?" By the way, hurry up and ask Bao Xin for help! ”

The leader said, "My lord, the dozen or so scouts we sent out to ask for help have all been driven back!" The scout came back and said that Shouzhang's Zhuang Shaoguan army was pushed over flat, and the cavalry was lined up in units of 100 people, and not even a bird could fly over! ”

When Liu Dai heard this, his face was suddenly pale, and he stammered and asked:

"How could he do that? Zhuang Shaoyou: What does he want to do? Besides, how could the scouts be driven back? ”

The general sighed and said, "My lord, he is demonstrating!" According to the scouts, the men and horses from Puyang and Shouzhang were marching at a normal speed, and it didn't look like they were coming to attack the city at all! That means they're not afraid of us at all! ……”

After the general finished speaking, everyone below was gloomy, too annoying, this is simply not taking Yanzhou in his eyes, this is **naked humiliation!

But what about humiliation?

Liu Dai was stunned for a long time before he said eagerly: "Then what should we do?" The city will not be defended! Let's get out! Yes, go south, go to Yuzhou! Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! Go to Yuzhou, come to someone! Pass on our military orders, and the whole army ......"

"My lord, the scouts report that the ships in the western part of Onozawa are dense, and 20,000 soldiers will disembark from the ship at dusk today, and then head towards Dingtao in Jiyin! If we go south, there's a good chance we'll meet them......"

Liu Dai didn't give up and then asked: "Then let's go north and cross the river to join Yuan Shao!" ”

The subordinates didn't say anything, but Liu Dai quickly came to his senses and crossed the river? How can it be!

Liu Dai was completely desperate.

"Everyone, I, Liu Dai, treat you well on weekdays, right?"

All the generals nodded yes, but no one dared to look at Liu Dai's eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are we going to do now? Do you have a suggestion? ”

The crowd remained silent.

"You're all dumb! Speak! I command you to speak! ”

Liu Dai was enraged by the silent lambs below, and roared angrily.

Seeing this, the leader could only say cautiously: "My lord, there is no other way to do it now, but you have to make an idea about this matter, you are the master of Yanzhou City!" ”

Liu Dai understood.

The leader carefully checked Liu Dai's uncertain face, and said softly: "My lord, not to mention whether you can successfully cross the river, even if you can go over and take refuge in Yuan Shao, it is better to take refuge in Zhuang Shaoyou." ”

Liu Dai was annoyed when he heard this:

"Fart! You want to be beautiful! took refuge in Zhuang Shaoyou, everything is still the same, but what should the official do? You bunch of selfish guys! In vain, the official treats you well on weekdays! ”

All the generals bowed their heads in shame, and it was tempting to sell the lord for glory, but in this era, there was something that was almost extinct in later generations, and this kind of thing was called temperance.

Yes, it's temperance, not chastity.

Discipline and chastity have both similarities and differences, the difference is that discipline is for men, while chastity is for women; The common denominator is that they were once taken seriously, but then they were all abandoned.

A slightly younger general couldn't help but speak: "My lord, you can't say that! Yanzhou has been surrounded, and we have no deep hatred with Zhuang Shaoyou, so surrender is not a good thing! If you decide to live and die with Yanzhou, then we will definitely have nothing to say, and sacrifice our lives to accompany you! Eighteen years later, he is a good man again! But if they can live well, who wants to die? You can call us incompetent, but you must not insult your loyalty! Isn't Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao doing a good job under Zhuang Shaoyou now? ”

The rest of the generals all looked at Liu Dai with firm eyes, obviously agreeing with the remarks of the righteous general. Liu Dai was refuted in person, and his face was a little unbearable. But I have to say that what the man said is quite reasonable, but he is a little suspicious of forcing the palace, and kicks the ball to Liu Dai and lets Liu Dai decide.

Between dying vigorously and living secretly, Liu Dai easily chose the latter, no pressure!

Therefore, the biggest possibility is that Liu Dai chooses to surrender, and then these generals will be relaxed. The lord has surrendered, and it's nothing for us to surrender with him, it's not that we are disloyal, it's really that the lord is not powerful! The pressure of apostasy suddenly disappears, there is no need to kill yourself, sacrifice your life for righteousness, everything is business as usual, or even go to the next level!

When the sky was just dawning, Zhuang Shaoyou led his army to the vicinity of Yanzhou City.

Outside the west gate of Yanzhou City, Liu Dai and his men and horses were already waiting there, and when he saw Zhuang Shaoyou's army coming, Liu Dai immediately led everyone to meet him.

Zhuang Shaoyou was still a little puzzled when he reported to the scout before, but now it seems that Liu Dai is really playing! Sigh:

"It's a pity!"

The generals behind him are all puzzled, but unfortunately Tian Feng is not here, if Tian Feng is here, he will definitely understand the meaning of the word Zhuang Shaoyou.

Zhuang Shaoyou originally planned to take Liu Dai and stand up to the world, but now people mainly come over and wag their tails, as the saying goes: Reach out and don't hit smiling people!

Seeing that Liu Dai led dozens of people to meet him, the guard battalion just wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Zhuang Shaoyou waving his hand.

Not arrogance, but self-confidence, absolute self-confidence.

In terms of martial arts, Zhuang Shaoyou is now also a fierce general in the world, and it is difficult to distinguish between him and Tai Shici! The five-bird drama given by Hua Tuo has been practiced for three and a half years, and the effect is good! Go to the battlefield to live the dragon and live the tiger, and fight at night is also a live tiger and a dragon!

Putting cold arrows, Zhuang Shaoyou was wearing the newly made armor of the forge, and ordinary knives and arrows could not penetrate it at all.

Moreover, Zhuang Shaoyou is extremely anti-toxic, two years ago to play in the depths of Changbai Mountain, accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, everyone was frightened, but Zhuang Shaoyou just fainted for a while, like a person who was fine, went back to Zhang Zhongjing, and came to the conclusion:

Safe and sound, strong as an ox!

Therefore, Zhuang Shaoyou didn't worry about the assassin at all, and he was looking forward to Liu Dai playing tricks, and then taking advantage of the situation to destroy him Liwei!

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes!

Liu Dai stepped forward with a flattering face, dismounted and bowed.

"Xiaguan Liu Dai greets the general! The land of Yanzhou is full of thieves, the lower officials are incompetent, and they are overwhelmed, and they are willing to ask the general to sit in Yanzhou, protect the territory and the people, and eliminate violence and peace! In this way, Yanzhou is very fortunate, the people are very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate! The general is sent, and the subordinates and the people of the headquarters are willing to serve their lives! ”

In 192 AD, in the fourth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, on November 11, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, surrendered.

On the same day, Zhuang Shaoyou Sun Guan's Third Army captured Dingtao in Jiyin County, and Guan Hai's Fourth Army captured Le'an and Jinan.

On November 12, the soldiers of the Third Army surrounded Changyi, the seat of Shanyang County, and Yuan Yu led his troops to resist to the death.

On the same day, the Second Army Corps captured Xuzhou Lu.

On November 13, the city of Changyi was broken, Yuan Yu was killed, most of the 20,000 defenders of the city were annihilated, and only more than 3,000 people were captured.

On 14 November, the 2nd Army captured Rencheng.

So far, the entire territory of Qingzhou, Yanzhou's Dongjun, Dongping, Jiyin, Shanyang, Rencheng, and Taishan counties have all fallen into Zhuang Shao's hands. When the news came, the world shook.

Zhuang Shaoyou has not made a move for three years, and the princes' memories of the bloody battle three years ago have faded a little, and the most related to Zhuang Shaoyou in the past three years is the businessman, in addition to the businessman or the businessman.

Now Zhuang Shaoyou is gone, and he is shocking the world!
