Xiahoudun said that he could capture today's Xuzhou in half an hour, although his tone was a little louder, but I knew that what he said was not a lie. He brought five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry elites in Cao Cao's army, and a large number of heavily armored Cao troops are still gathering, and it seems that there is no suspense about the outcome of this battle.

"General Xiahou," I arched my hand, "the general situation is like this today, and it is really unwise for Xuzhou to resist again." I used to be the general of Xuzhou, can the general let me also be a lobbyist, let Xuzhou surrender, and can pacify Xuzhou without a single soldier, I don't know what the general wants?"

"So much for the best. We'll limit ourselves to one hour!" said Xiahoudun.

"Okay, General, wait for my good news. ”

Xiahoudun returned to the horse and ordered the tiger and leopard to ride and camp locally, and Xu Qianxue and I came to Xuzhou City together. Seeing Cao Cao's army coming, the gate of Xuzhou had already been closed, so I had to stand at the gate and shout: "I am Duan Dahu, ask Mr. Mi Zhu to come out and answer." ”

The soldiers at the head of the wall had pointed their bows and arrows at me, but as soon as they heard my sign-up, they all talked about it. At this time, a general came out, but it seemed that he recognized me, and he arched his hand on the city wall and said: "General Duan, you are here, Xuzhou is saved now! Please wait a while, I will go to invite Mr. Mi Zhu." ”

"Brother Law!" I said, bowing my head.

After a while, the city gate opened, and a team of people rushed out, led by Mi Zhu and Jian Yong. They stopped beside me, dismounted and said, "General Duan, you're finally here!"

"Don't come here two gentlemen!" I replied.

"General, please come into the city, and I will report to the general in detail what happened recently?" Mi Zhu said.

"Okay, please lead the way. ”

When I entered Xuzhou City, I was full of emotion, the last time I left was more than half a year ago, but that time it was Xiao Hanyi who betrayed me and let me flee in a hurry. And now, he entered Xuzhou again as a lobbyist to make Xuzhou surrender. It's really the Great Banner of the Changing King at the head of the city!

We sat down in the Thorn Mansion, and Mi Zhu commanded: "Serve tea!"

I arched my hand and said, "Sir, you don't have to be polite! I just arrived in Xuzhou from Chang'an, but I don't know where the three brothers of Liu Yuzhou are now?"

"Hey, it's hard to put into words!" Mi Zhu sighed, "This matter has to start from the beginning." After the general left that day, I wanted to assist Cao Cao with peace of mind, and it just so happened that the Son of Heaven was also in Xudu, so it would be good if he could accomplish some achievements. Unexpectedly, he went out hunting, but exposed Cao Cao's true face. Master Jane, you were here that day, you can elaborate for General Duan. ”

Jian Yong said: "That day, the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao and I were riding and hunting outside the city of Xudu, and the sergeants lined up the enclosure and encircled the surrounding area for more than 200 miles. Cao Cao had already proclaimed himself the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, so he walked with the Son of Heaven, only one horse head behind the Son of Heaven. The civil and military palaces all walked together, and Uncle Liu Huang and I followed behind. Originally, there was nothing to do, but a big deer came out of the thorn bushes, and the emperor shot three times with a bow, but the emperor was still young and his arm strength was insufficient, so he didn't shoot. So Cao Cao asked for the emperor's treasure eagle bow, buckled the golden arrow, and shot the deer with one arrow. Cao Cao laughed at the time, and all the soldiers saw the golden arrow, thinking that it was shot by the Son of Heaven, and they all enthusiastically shouted 'Long live' to the Son of Heaven, I saw that the Son of Heaven looked embarrassed, but Cao Cao couldn't stop laughing, obviously very happy. At that time, Yun Chang and Yide looked angry, quite unfair, but they were also helpless. After returning to the palace, sure enough, within a few days, the Son of Heaven summoned Uncle Liu Huang and wrote the 'Edict of Clothes and Belts', calling on the princes of the world to crusade against Cao Cao. General, you think, since Cao Cao has already coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, how can he save the Son of Heaven by staying in Xudu? Only by raising troops outside and Cao Cao throwing a rat trap can he ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven! Therefore, Uncle Liu Huang and I discussed how we could lead the troops outside and raise troops to fight again. The next thing, Lord Mi Zhu also knows. ”

Mi Zhu continued: "Yes! Heaven should also be the revival of my Han family, there happened to be an opportunity, that Yuan Shu was extravagant, and ended up betraying his relatives, so he had to go to Jizhou to seek refuge with his brother Yuan Shao, and wanted to pass through Xuzhou, so Uncle Liu Huang asked Cao Cao for a military order, and went to intercept Yuan Shu halfway. Cao Cao was naturally happy, so he ordered the emperor's uncle to order 50,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to go to the expedition! But there was a strategist named Xun Yu by Cao Cao's side, who was very powerful, and the emperor's uncle had just left the city for ten miles, and he thought that he had seen the flaw, so he sent the general Xu Chu to call back the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's uncle resigned with the idea that "the general will not be subject to the king's life abroad." But how could Cao Cao be easy to deal with? On the same day, he sent troops to pursue him. Uncle Huang traveled day and night, rushed to the city of Xuzhou, and killed the Taishou chariot with a trick before occupying Xuzhou. He also ordered Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to occupy Xiapi and Xiaopei respectively, and they were horns against each other. However, firstly, the foothold was unstable when he first entered Xuzhou, and secondly, Cao Cao's army and horses were ferocious, and they were broken by Cao Cao's army in a few days.

As he spoke, he covered his eyes with his long sleeves and wiped a handful of tears.

"Have you ever sent someone to look for it?" I asked.

"Hey, Tanma sent hundreds of people to look around, but they all said that in the chaos, they didn't see where the three of them went. Master Jian and I had to defend Xuzhou until they returned. But the soldiers and people in the city have already frightened Cao Jun, if it weren't for the general coming back today to preside over the overall situation, the two of us would have to repay the country with death!"

"The two gentlemen are really loyal and righteous people!" I hugged my fists and said: "Don't worry, sir, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang all have amazing martial arts, and there will be no worries about their lives in the ordinary battle array, and please relax." However, I am here today to listen to the two gentlemen!"

"General Duan is polite, you are our leader, and we will look forward to the general's horse!" Jian Yong and the two said.

"Even so, you're welcome. Today's matter, I have already promised Xiahoudun that Xuzhou will not resist and will surrender to him! He also promised not to harm a single soldier in Xuzhou. ”

"This ......" Mi Zhu and Jian Yong looked at each other.

"Do you have any doubts about the two gentlemen?"

"The general doesn't know, we have already surrendered to Cao Cao once, and then turned our backs, if it weren't for the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that I would be ridiculed by the people of the world as a treacherous......! I'm afraid it's unreasonable......" Jian Yong said.

Xu Qianxue said: "Two gentlemen, listen to the little woman. Now Xuzhou is a lonely city, the city is unstable, and the people have no will to fight. How can we defend it? Although the Han dynasty collapsed day and night, the war of the princes should still put the safety of the people first. Even if you win the country and lose the people, what's the use?"

"What the girl said is reasonable, but we were all born in Confucianism, and we have pursued 'benevolence and righteousness' and 'etiquette' all our lives, Cao Cao ignored the Han dynasty, but asked me to wait how to surrender to him?

Zi said: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If you wait for the Han ministers to die and Mingzhi, then who will help the Han family in the future? If Uncle Liu Huang rises up again, who will assist him?" Xu Qianxue paused and said: "Besides, it is too early for Cao Cao to be a Han thief, and now if the princes rise up today, which one has no selfish intentions?" Cao Cao once said to Duan Dahu's brother that he was loyal to the Han family and had no intention of usurping rebellion. Why not wait and see?"

"Yes, yes!" I hurriedly said, "Both gentlemen are scholars, and I can't explain the big truth." However, this time Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xuzhou, and the military discipline was strict, and no one was injured along the way. Isn't this the sincerity of persuasion?"

Mi Zhu and Jian Yong glanced at each other and said, "Even so, it is inconvenient for us to insist." But Xuzhou City can be surrendered, and the two of us will never surrender. Let's go out of the city to find Uncle Liu Huang! Life and death depend on the sky, and that is also a matter of creation. ”

The two of them were very decided, and I wanted to persuade them later, Jian Yong waved his hand and said, "General Duan, we'll see you again in the future!"

I knew that persuasion was useless, so I said: "The rivers and lakes are sinister, the two gentlemen cherish them!"

Watching the two of them go away, I can't help but sigh that scholars are also proud in these years.

I summoned the generals of the garrison in the city and told them what I was doing, and the generals had no objection. So, with a big sword on my back, I stood on the city gate and ordered loudly: "Hang a white flag on the city tower, open the city gate, and let Cao Jun enter the city!"

In the city of Xuzhou, a "paragraph" word floated again.
