Chapter 64: Wancheng Falls, Zhang Xiu, Please Surrender!
Yuan Shu really hates Yuan Shao now!
This concubine not only broke with him, but even called on all the princes of the world to crusade against him, simply wanting to kill him!
You must know that the four-way army, except for Liu Bei's negligible one, the remaining three roads are very strong.
Especially Sun Ce!
The most fierce general he ever commanded,
Now he is his enemy.
And it also took away the two counties of Danyang and Lujiang!
He's going to kill all these rebels and thieves!
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
Hearing that Yuan Shu planned to face the four-way army, Yang Hong was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and persuaded him: "Sun Ce rebelled, and now that the six counties of Jiangdong have been lost, it is really unwise to face the battle at this moment!" ”
"Your Majesty should now avoid its edge and guard Yangzhou; At the same time, he contacted Sun Ce and promised to make him return to obedience with heavy profits in order to retreat from foreign enemies! ”
It has always been the Sun family that has been deterring foreign enemies.
Without the Sun family and Sun Ce, Yuan Shu wanted to defeat Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei head-on, and the risk was too great.
Yuan Shu heard the words and said angrily: "I am the Son of Heaven! You asked me to bow to Sun Ce's shaft? ”
"Even if he rebels! Without the Sun family, I still have hundreds of thousands of troops and countless fierce generals! Could it be that I can't live without him, Sun Ce! ”
"What's more, I have the destiny of heaven, and it is impossible to lose!"
The pride in Yuan Shu's heart did not allow him to bow to Sun Ce at all.
And he doesn't think he's going to lose!
Yang Hong still wanted to persuade again, but Yuan Shu had already ordered again: "Where are Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Le!" ”
"The last general!"
The five generals came out of the ranks.
Yuan Shu said: "I ordered you and others to lead a large army to meet the enemy, and we must repel all the enemies who will attack in the future, so as to boost our national prestige!" ”
"The last general commands!"
The five generals brazenly took the order.
Seeing this scene, Yang Hong sighed and closed his eyes.
A heart sank straight to the bottom.
……
Nanyang County, outside Wancheng.
The 40,000 army was divided into eight phalanxes, standing neatly on the banks of the Shushui River, black and oppressive, silent and silent, giving people a strong oppressive force.
Flags embroidered with the word "Cao" sounded fiercely in the wind.
It also added a bit of killing to the army.
This army is the army that Cao Cao came to crusade against Zhang Xiu!
Cao Cao rode a white horse, accompanied by his eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin and Dian Wei, and came to the front of the army array, looking at Wancheng, where the gate was closed.
"Dian Wei, go and call the battle."
Cao Cao instructed Dian Wei beside him, his face full of indifference, "Give them one last chance, if they don't vote, they will attack the city immediately!" ”
"At that time, all men, women and children in the city will be slaughtered, and no chickens and dogs will be left!"
Between the words, there is murderous intent.
This time, he personally led his troops to attack Zhang Xiu, and he had already lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and if he continued to attack Wancheng, the casualties would only be worse.
He has sent people to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender five times, and now his patience has reached the limit, if Zhang Xiu does not surrender again, he will storm Wancheng, and then slaughter the entire city as a warning!
"Yes! Lord! ”
Dian Wei said angrily, put the double halberd in his hand on both sides of the horse, and then rode alone to the city of Wancheng.
"Zhang Xiu listen! My lord has issued an edict to please not be a minister, and your defeat has been decided, so you should not quickly go out of the city and surrender! ”
"If you don't surrender within a quarter of an hour, the army will attack the city immediately!"
"The day the city is broken, it is the time to slaughter the city!"
Dian Wei's voice was very loud, and his voice was like thunder, and all the soldiers on the city wall heard it clearly after shouting, and they couldn't help but change color one by one.
Cao Cao listened to Dian Wei's shouting, and asked with a smile to the two juniors beside him: "Zixiu, An Min, do you think Zhang Xiu will descend?" ”
Cao Anmin heard this: "Now that the army is surrounding the city, Zhang Xiu is just a turtle in an urn, except for surrender, he has a second way to choose?" ”
Cao Ang also said: "What An Min said is extremely true, Zhang Xiufei is a stupid person, knowing that he is invincible and will not defend the city to death, he will definitely throw himself at his father."
And just as the two were talking, the gate of Wancheng suddenly opened.
I saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe with a rope tied to his body walking out of the city, and behind him was followed by a group of civil and military generals, all of whom were also tied up with five flowers, and their expressions were a little depressed.
Tie yourself out of the city, this is a move to surrender!
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao laughed, pointed at Cao Ang and Cao Anmin with a horsewhip and said, "It seems that you guessed correctly, after entering the city, there will be a lot of rewards!" ”
With that, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly and rode forward.
When the middle-aged man in the brocade robe saw Cao Cao, his expression was gloomy, and he bowed his head and said, "Rebel minister Zhang Xiu, please surrender to Dasikong." ”
This person is Zhang Xiu, who is guarding Wancheng!
As Cao Ang and Cao Anmin said, Wancheng was besieged, and it was a matter of time before the city was broken, and Cao Cao said that if he did not surrender, he would slaughter the city at that time.
Faced with Zhang Xiu's request to surrender, Cao Cao just squinted at him and was unmoved.
Zhang Xiu hesitated for a moment, then slowly knelt down under the gaze of everyone, bowed his head and said, "Rebel minister Zhang Xiu, please enter the city!" ”
Hearing this, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth curled slightly, and then he opened his mouth and ordered: Come on, help General Zhang loosen his ties. ”
When the guards on the left and right heard this, they immediately stepped forward to untie the rope on Zhang Xiu's body.
But before Zhang Xiu could react, Cao Cao threw the reins in his hand into his arms and said condescendingly: "General Zhang, lead the horse into the city for me." ”
Hearing Cao Cao's slightly sarcastic tone, Zhang Xiu felt humiliated in his heart.
But he didn't dare to show anything, silently took the reins, and reluctantly smiled: "Yes, Da Sikong." ”
But at this time, a burly man in the crowd who was tied up suddenly stood up and scolded Cao Cao angrily: "Cao thief! Ann dares to insult my general like this! ”
This man is as burly as Dian Wei, and at first glance he is a battle-hardened general.
"Presumptuous!"
Dian Wei was furious when he heard this, kicked him to the ground, and then flipped out the double halberd to kill him on the spot, but at this time, Cao Cao stopped him.
"Wait!"
Cao Cao set his eyes on the military general and praised: "For the protection of the lord and not afraid of death, he is really a strong man, I don't know what to call a strong man?" ”
"Hu Che'er!"
"Good! Come on, loosen the ties for the strong man, and reward 100 gold! ”
Cao Cao commanded, undisguised his admiration, and then said: "If the strong man is interested, he can come to serve under me in the future." ”
Hu Che'er froze in place at this time, not knowing how to answer.
He thought that if he jumped out to defend his general, he would definitely be killed by Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao not only did not kill him, but also gave him a reward, and even intended to recruit him.
Without waiting for Hu Che'er to reply, Cao Cao took his eyes back from him, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, why don't you lead the horse quickly?" ”
Zhang Xiu sighed secretly, took the reins, and slowly walked towards Wancheng.
