After Zhao and Zhang Fei surrendered, Zhuge Liang ordered Liu Bei to take Zhao and Zhang Fei to the city to persuade him to surrender.

These three people have all done things in Zhao State.

Among them, the status of Liu Bei and Zhao is not low.

Now, in the face of the persuasion of the three of them, Zhu Ling and Lu Kuang on the city wall have mixed feelings.

The defenders of Qinghe County were restless for the past two days.

The city was surrounded.

The enemy also expressed his determination to break the embankment and flood the city.

Outside the city, there were former comrades who persuaded them to surrender.

Not to mention these defenders, even themselves, their hearts were a little shaken.

At dusk the next day, Zhuge Liang released a big move-

Huge stones are thrown into the city with a thunderbolt, and the city is not sieged.

The people of the city suffered heavy casualties.

Nowadays, many of the defenders of Qinghe County are from Qinghe County.

Seeing their families being attacked in this way, they panicked one by one.

After that, Zhuge Liang asked people to hold the gong and ring the gong every half an hour, and then a row of people shouted loudly towards the city, announcing the countdown to the official breakout of the Pan River to the people in the city.

Ten hours.

Nine hours.

The defenders of the city were on the verge of crumbling.

The people in the city were even more panicked.

And the defending generals of Qinghe County, Zhu Ling and Lu Kuang, were also tossed and exhausted.

One after another, civil strife broke out in Qinghe City.

First of all, small shares.

And then it came together.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Ling was still patrolling the city wall, and when Lu Kuang was resting in the city, the biggest turmoil broke out in the city.

Almost half of the people in the city gathered together to conquer the resting place of Lu Kuang and others.

What made Zhu Ling feel even more frightened was that Lu Kuang was captured alive!

He was captured alive by a few guards who were taking care of him!

Several guards didn't want to die fighting to protect Qinghe County at all.

First, the city is full of their fathers and villagers.

Second, the outside of the city was full of enemy troops.

They can't think of any way to break the enemy.

When Zhu Ling heard the news that Lu Kuang was captured alive, he immediately led part of the army to leave the city wall, wanting to quell the rebellion.

As soon as Zhu Ling left here, Zhuge Liang noticed it.

Zhuge Liang immediately asked Liu Bei, Zhao Zhao, Zhang Fei and the hundreds of soldiers who had surrendered to surrender outside the city.

Zhu Ling left the city wall less than a quarter of an hour here, and the defenders on the city wall couldn't hold on.

Someone opened the city walls.

Led by Liu Bei, Zhao Zhao and Zhang Fei, the army entered Qinghe County in a mighty manner.

Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei to appease the people.

No, not to mention, Liu Bei is very good at this.

Under the banner of the former courtier of Zhao State, and under the banner of being born in Zhuo County, Youzhou, he appeased the people in Qinghe County to be obedient.

Zhu Ling saw the progress of the Xuzhou Legion and wanted to flee in a hurry.

However, there was the Xuzhou Army in front and the rebels in the back.

In the end, Zhu Ling could only ask for surrender.

Zhuge Liang did not kill Zhu Ling and Lu Kuang, on the contrary, he also let them take their original positions.

After that, Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei to temporarily act as the governor of Qinghe County, with Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Tian Yu, and Zhu Ling as deputy generals, leading an army of 10,000 Xuzhou to sit in Qinghe County, under the banner of Zhao State.

And Zhuge Liang himself quietly took Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren, Zhao Zhao, Zang Ba and other generals, as well as 70,000 troops, and went directly to Julu.

These 70,000 troops, including the defenders of Zhao led by Lu Kuang.

Zhuge Liang ordered that it was forbidden to disclose the news that Qinghe County had been breached.

Less than three days after Zhuge Liang left here, Yuan Shao's second son, who is also now Youzhou Mu Yuan Xi, personally rushed to Chengchi Chengchi with an army of 30,000 troops, ready to assist the defenders of Zhao State and jointly fight against the Xuzhou army.

Liu Bei asked Zhu Ling to take the lead and introduced Youzhou Mu Yuan Xi and others into Wengcheng.

Youzhou Mu Yuan Xi and a group of generals had just passed through Wengcheng when they realized that something was wrong.

But the reaction was a little too late.

Liu Bei, who had already been ambushed in the city, stood up directly, without leaving the slightest mercy, and immediately summoned the archers who were ambushed on the city wall to attack.

Countless feathered arrows poured down like a majestic rain.

Including Youzhou Mu Yuan Xi, the vast majority of the generals of the Youzhou reinforcements this time were directly shot into a sieve by random arrows.

After shooting Youzhou Mu Yuan Xi and others, Liu Bei immediately led the army out of the city.

With no leader among the dragons, how can the tens of thousands of reinforcements from Youzhou be opponents this time?

After a fierce battle of less than an hour, the 30,000 Youzhou army, except for more than 3,000 people who died in battle, all surrendered.

Liu Bei immediately followed the tips left by Zhuge Liang and asked Tian Yu to rush to Neihuang County with the heads of Youzhou Mu Yuan Xi and his soldiers under his account, and handed them over to Yuan Tan.

Neihuang County.

Inside the city.

The walls were in tatters.

Outside the city, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Yuan Shang and Xin Ping led a large army and launched a third siege on Neihuang County.

However, after leaving behind nearly two thousand corpses, Yuan Shang's army retreated again.

Yuan Shang stood at the end of the army, watching from a distance as the army in front of him receded like a tide, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Three sieges, the first of which left nearly 4,000 corpses behind.

The second siege left nearly 3,000 corpses behind.

And this third siege left nearly 2,000 corpses.

Although the number has been declining.

However, the loss of the number of people has made his hair stand on end.

He had never thought that an Inner Huang County would be so difficult to conquer before!

However, Yuan Shang's back tooth socket was almost crushed.

Can't put it off any longer!

An Neihuang County is so difficult to attack.

He couldn't imagine what a terrible price he had to pay to defeat his brother Yuan Tan!

While watching the army retreat, Yuan Shang roared: "Hasn't there been any news from Qinghe County yet?" ”

"When will the reinforcements from Youzhou arrive?"

"What is the Xuzhou Legion doing?"

The mastermind next to him, Xin Ping's face was also extremely ugly.

This attack on Neihuang County was indeed beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that the eldest prince Yuan Tan had no capable people around him, and it was impossible to defend Neihuang County.

Now it seems that it was a big mistake.

Looking at Yuan Shang, Xin Ping said: "Childe, if there is no news, it is the best news." ”

"Now, instead of expecting Youzhou to come to help, I think it's better to rely on ourselves."

"The city of Neihuang County has been almost attacked by us."

"Next time, at most, next time, we will definitely be able to break through Neihuang County."

Yuan Shang turned his head at this time, looked at Xin with a gloomy face, and said, "I hope so." ”

Neihuang County.

on the city walls.

Pang Tong took Yuan Tan and others to inspect the city wall and inspect the fortifications.

Yuan Tan looked at the corpses everywhere on the city wall, and his head was numb.

In these three times of defending the city, his originally small army was only about 10,000 people left.

Now the walls are so badly destroyed.

Go on, he doubts he'll be captured alive!

Yuan Tan looked at Pang Tong, who had a gloomy face, and finally couldn't hold back and said, "Master Pang, when will the reinforcements of the Xuzhou Army arrive?" ”

"How many days have passed?"

"If this continues, our city will be destroyed!"

"Yanzhou doesn't have many troops."

"If we continue to fight, we won't be able to defend the city."

Pang Tongtong continued to inspect the fortifications, and said angrily: "Since the eldest prince is so eager, then you should surrender?" ”

Yuan Tan: "."

The other generals also had extremely ugly faces.

Pang Tong glanced at Yuan Tan and the others impatiently.

This group of rubbish, they don't have fart skills, and they keep nagging!

At this moment, a soldier rushed to the scene and said, "Report, Tian Yu's envoy from the direction of Qinghe County, on the order of Commander Zhuge of Chief, brought a box of gifts to help the eldest prince break the enemy." ”

Yuan Tan just wanted to scold.

When is it time to think about gifts?

Now is the time to give gifts?

Suddenly, Yuan Tan's eyes shrank slightly.

Tianyu in Qinghe County?

The main officer of the Xuzhou Legion, everyone in Zhao Guo knows.

This Tian Yu is clearly a member of the Xuzhou Legion!

Why did he come from Qinghe County?

Qinghe County is Yuan Shang's territory.

Suddenly, Yuan Tan's expression perked, his face suppressed joy, and he looked at Pang Tong excitedly.

Pang Tong said: "Let him bring something over." ”

The soldier answered and walked away quickly.

After a while, I saw Tian Yu coming over with dozens of soldiers, carrying a large box, and placing it in front of Yuan Tan, Pang Tong and others.

Pang Tong motioned for the soldier to open the large box.

Suddenly, dozens of heads appeared.

Yuan Tan saw the head of his second brother Yuan Xi at a glance.

He was instantly stunned.

Just as he guessed.

The Xuzhou Army actually broke through Qinghe County.

However, the Xuzhou Army exceeded his expectations.

The Xuzhou Army not only robbed Qinghe County, but also killed his second brother Yuan Xi!

Look at these heads, as well as the generals under Yuan Xi's account.

Yuan Tan's smile was gone.

He felt a shudder in his soul.

The Xuzhou Army, taking advantage of these times to defend against Yuan Shang's attack, not only took Qinghe County, but also killed his second brother.

In other words, Youzhou is finished!

Under the leaderless group of dragons, how could Youzhou be the opponent of the Xuzhou Legion!

Only then did he realize that the Xuzhou Legion was able to defeat his three brothers so easily!

So why do they unite themselves?

Why do you still have to promise yourself that you will send troops, and what do you say to help you take the Zhao State?

Yuan Tan looked at Pang Tong, his face flashing with panic.

Or, they help themselves to be fake.

It's really because he used himself to consume the forces of the other two younger brothers.

In other words, once Yuan Shang is killed, or his own forces are exhausted, then it may be his turn next?

Behind Pang Tong, Lu Xun glanced at Yuan Tan.

Seeing Yuan Tan's expression change, a cold glint flashed in Lu Xun's eyes.

Unexpectedly, this Yuan Tan woke up at this time.

He already knew that he was just a tool to be used.

Lu Xun hurriedly pulled down Pang Tong's sleeve.

Pang Tong's gaze moved away from Yuan Xi's head.

He was a little depressed just now.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang could easily clean up Youzhou.

And he guarded such a broken Huang County, but he worked hard and has not achieved anything.

Feeling Lu Xun's sleeves, Pang Tong came back to his senses and looked at Lu Xun suspiciously.

Lu Xun made a quick gesture and asked him to look at Yuan Tan.

Pang Tong looked over and looked at Yuan Tan thoughtfully, Pang Tong squinted his eyes and said to Yuan Tan: "Eldest prince, what are you worried about?" ”

Yuan Tan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "No, it's nothing, it's just, I just think that the Xuzhou Legion is really a noble soldier!" ”
