Chen Yan led a group of light cavalry to the city gate first, only to see that the city gate was still open, and a young man in a fancy costume at the city gate was holding a long sword to echo left and right, obviously their leader.

Chen Yan looked from afar and recognized this person as Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang.

The number of Dong Huang's subordinates is not too many, only about two hundred, and these people occupy the city gate hub, obviously waiting for Xu Rong's army outside the city to enter the city!

Chen Yan commanded left and right in a low voice: "We must kill them as quickly as possible, and then close the city gate immediately!" ”

Song Zhong smirked twice and said, "It's not easy? With that, he suddenly pulled out an iron-tired big bow, aimed at Dong Huang on the city tower, and shot it with an arrow!

I didn't expect this Song Zhong to be very good, and his archery skills were sharp! only heard a crisp sound, and the armor on Dong Huang's chest was broken by Song Zhong's arrow, and Dong Huang also screamed, and fell down diagonally!

Chen Yan screamed, carried the halberd upside down, and flew up to the city tower.

Before the soldiers on the city tower could react, they had already been knocked down by Chen Yan with a halberd.

After that, a thousand male soldiers of the Yue cavalry battalion stepped forward one after another, and in less than a meal, they also killed all Dong Zhuoyu's party on the city tower. When Chen Yan saw Dong Huang, he saw that Dong Huang was bleeding from his mouth, and he was already angry.

Song Zhong sneered twice and said: "This kid usually likes to bully the weak, Lao Tzu has long wanted to teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect to really slaughter him today, leader, it's really fun to follow you!" ”

Chen Yan smiled and patted Song Zhong on the shoulder, and suddenly thought that he had acted bravely on the street to stop Dong Huang's crimes, and now seeing Dong Huang's tragic death, he couldn't help but sigh: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, this guy has done a lot of injustice, so he died here tragically." ”

Before the words fell, I only heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves outside the city gate, and I saw that a large army in the night rain had already arrived near the broken Xia Slope, under the banner of "Xu", obviously Xu Rong's men and horses.

Wang Yun stood on the city wall and shouted, "Close the city gate quickly!" ”

The soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion rushed to the hub one after another, working together to slowly close the huge gate of Chang'an City.

Xu Rong's army was getting closer and closer, but it finally failed to arrive before the city gate was closed, and there was a bang, and the gate of Chang'an City was tightly closed, and Xu Rong was also under the city gate at this time.

Chen Yan looked at it intently, and saw that Xu Rong in the night rain was still an award-winning style, but the difference was that there was a faint trace of sorrow between his eyebrows, as if he was sad about Dong Zhuo's death.

The night rain hit his armor, raising layers of rain and mist, Xu Rong looked up and saw Chen Yan and Wang Yun on the city tower, only to hear Xu Rong shouting loudly: "Are Lord Situ and Chen Yan Xiaodao on the city tower?" ”

Although Xu Rong's martial arts cultivation is not strong, he is full of energy, and when he shouts, it also looks very loud in the silent night.

Wang Yun and Chen Yan didn't speak, and Song Zhong on the side suddenly said: "Otherwise, let me shoot him to death with an arrow?" ”

Chen Yan glared at Song Zhong angrily and said, "Old Song, nonsense! General Xu Rong is a famous general of the dynasty, can he be the same as Dong Huang, the son of the gentleman? ”

Song Zhong also seemed to feel that he had said the wrong thing, stuck out his tongue, and didn't dare to say more.

Chen Yan thought to himself: "I remember that Xu Rong surrendered after Lu Bu assassinated Dong Zhuo, and Xu Rong has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty, I think he did not come this time to avenge Dong Zhuo, but to serve the Son of Heaven." ”

Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly said to Wang Yun: "Lord Situ, General Xu Rong is a rare general, and he has 50,000 elite soldiers under his command, so let's go out of the city to persuade him, and I should be able to persuade him to surrender." ”

Wang Yun didn't expect Chen Yan to have this idea, so he immediately frowned and said, "You mean you want to go out of the city to persuade you to surrender?" But you just killed his master Dong Zhuo, in case he wants to avenge Dong Zhuo, wouldn't you be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? ”

Although Chen Yan knew that this trip was very dangerous, Xu Rong had heavy troops after all, and if Xu Rong really came to attack Chang'an, Chang'an City might not be able to defend it.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan gritted his teeth violently and said: "If you want to achieve great things, you must have courage, Lord Situ, if Xu Rong really attacks, we soldiers and horses will not be able to hold Chang'an!" For now, I can only try to persuade Xu Rong to surrender, and then find a way to resist Duan Xuan and Niu Fu outside the city. ”

Wang Yun knew that what Chen Yan said was good, and after thinking for a long time, he had to nod and say, "Okay, then as you said, it's just that this trip is dangerous, you have to be prepared to die!" ”

Chen Yan nodded, his eyes revealing amazing perseverance and perseverance.

Song Zhong watched from the sidelines, and suddenly said, "Leader, why don't I go with you?" ”

Chen Yan didn't expect this Song Zhong to be such a righteous person, he was very moved, and hurriedly patted Song Zhong on the shoulder and said, "Old Song, don't worry, since I have the courage to go out, I have the certainty of success." ”

Song Zhong looked at Chen Yan, and suddenly felt that he trusted the leader in front of him very much, nodded, and said, "Then the last general will wait for the leader to triumph!" ”

Chen Yan immediately stood on the city tower and shouted to Xu Rong under the city: "General Xu Rong! Poor Dao is Chen Yan, Poor Dao has a few words to say to General Xu Rong face to face, and I hope that the general will retreat two miles and let Poor Dao go out of the city! ”

Xu Rong probably didn't expect Chen Yan to have the courage to go out of the city, thinking for a moment, and giving an order, he saw that Xu Rong's army was in order, and they all retreated backwards, which was very spectacular!

Chen Yan immediately got off the city tower, jumped a fast horse, ordered his subordinates to open the city gate slightly, and then rode out and went straight to Xu Rong.

Chen Yan was going to persuade him to surrender at this time, and in order to reassure Xu Rong, he didn't even bring his own weapon. Xu Rong saw it in his eyes, and naturally relaxed his vigilance.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them walked together, Chen Yan looked fixedly, and saw that Xu Rong's face was full of wind and frost, and he seemed to be a lot older than the last time they met.

Chen Yan stopped his horse, nodded slightly, and said, "General Xu Rong, last time you said goodbye, you were a little older, presumably because the army was tired?" ”

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Little Daoist, I didn't expect you to have such courage at such a young age, not only assassinating the Taishi, but also daring to come to see me alone." ”

Chen Yan didn't expect Xu Rong to get straight to the point, without greeting politely at all, knowing that Xu Rong was a straightforward person, he immediately said: "Since this is the case, then I will not say secret words, Dong Zhuo's wolf ambition and poisoning and murdering the saint, is General Xu Rong still going to be foolish and loyal to such a master?" ”

Xu Rong suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "I was not loyal to Dong Zhuo, why did the little Taoist say this?" ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he knew that there was a way to persuade Xu Rong to surrender, so he immediately smiled and said, "In that case, why did General Xu Rong rush back to Chang'an after Dong Zhuo's death?" ”
