Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1486 Yuan Shu's Death
Chapter 1484: The Death of Yuan Shu
Yuan Shu in Shouchun City was terrified by the sudden invasion of the Ming army and surrounded Shouchun. He never thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would come so quickly, and he was not even given the opportunity to dispatch troops.

Now there are only [-] defenders in Shouchun City, and nearly half of them are old and weak. There are [-] Ming troops outside the city, and the leader is Zhu Yuanzhang himself. The Yu army has reached the brink of life and death. up.

With only [-] defenders in Shouchun City, under the onslaught of [-] Ming troops, they can only defend for half a month at most. If there is no reinforcements by then, the city will be destroyed and the country will perish.

But will there be reinforcements in half a month?

The high-level members of the Henan army, including Yuan Shu, knew that there would be no such thing.

Although Lian Po still had [-] Henan troops, they were blocked by Zhao Kuangyin's [-] troops, and he was unable to come to rescue Shouchun. The risk of annihilation.

If the casualties of Lian Po's [-] troops were too high, then Yuan Shu would really have no hope at all.

Therefore, before Lian Po completely defeated the Song army, or reached an agreement with Zhao Kuangyin, Lian Po's army might be unreliable, and Yuan Shu could only turn his attention to other surrounding princes.

Both Sun Jian and Qin Hao are mortal enemies with Yuan Shu, it would be good if they don't make trouble, and it is absolutely impossible to send troops to help Yuan Shu.

Huang Zu's strength was too weak, even if he really had to send reinforcements, it would basically be useless.

Although the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu is relatively good, it only lies in the point of business relationship. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to get him to send troops, but at present, only Cao Cao has the possibility.

After all, Yuan Shu was once a great vassal, so it is naturally impossible to capture him without a fight. Although his own ability is not good, there are still many capable people under his command.

Under Yan Xiang's proposal, Yuan Shu organized the people in the city to actively defend the city, sent envoys to Yanzhou for help, and at the same time sent envoys to Songying to negotiate with Zhao Kuangyin.

It has to be said that Yan Xiang's vision was really accurate, he saw the essence of the crisis of the Henan army at a glance, and came up with a solution to it.

As long as one of the two envoys sent by Yuan Shu succeeds, the crisis in Shouchun City will be resolved, but it will take time, and this is undoubtedly the most difficult time for Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao is a hero of a generation, and Zhao Kuangyin is the founding emperor, so naturally he doesn't want to watch Zhu Yuanzhang continue to grow.

After Cao Cao met Yuan Shu's envoy, he agreed to send troops to rescue Yuan Shu without much thought. However, in order not to affect the development of Yanzhou, he only sent [-] elite troops. Although not many, it was a timely help for Yuan Shu.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, even without seeing Yuan Shu's envoy, he began to actively contact Lian Po, expressing his willingness to make way for Lian Po to return to Shouchun.

Lian Po was skeptical about Zhao Kuangyin's initiative to show his favor. After all, in his eyes, Zhao Kuangyin was not very good at fighting, but he played all kinds of tricks and tricks.

When it comes to the art of war, Lian Po feels that two Zhao Kuangyins are not as good as him, but when it comes to conspiracy and tricks, even ten of them are not as good as Zhao Kuangyin.

I think Lian Po had already pushed Zhao Kuangyin into a desperate situation at the beginning, but Zhao Kuangyin backhanded a divorce plan, which made Yujun Yuan Shu suspect the main general and change generals, but he was defeated.

Lian Po was really afraid of being calculated by Zhao Kuangyin. When he couldn't confirm whether the other party was sincere or false, he naturally didn't dare to trust Zhao Kuangyin easily. The whole army was wiped out, and the Yu army had no hope.

Lian Po's caution drove Zhao Kuangyin crazy, and he didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to be a fisherman. He really wanted to let Lian Po go. After all, if Lian Po didn't leave, the Lianghuai granary would really belong to Zhu Yuanzhang. up.

To show his sincerity, Zhao Kuangyin voluntarily withdrew the army for [-] miles. Lian Po believed it when he saw this, and immediately led the army back to Shouchun.

Cao Cao sent reinforcements, and Lian Po also returned. Yuan Shu's two envoys were all successful. It stands to reason that the crisis of the Henan Army has been resolved, but the result is just the opposite.

At the last moment of this life-and-death race, Yuan Shu unexpectedly lost the chain again.

Yuan Shu originally thought that with the assistance of 20 defenders and [-] people in the city, it would be no problem to hold on until the reinforcements arrived. However, Yuan Shu overestimated himself and underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang.

Most of the battleable generals of the Yu army are in the Lianpo army, and there is only one Ji Ling left in Shouchun City, while the Ming army outside the city is full of famous generals.

In order for Zhu Yuanzhang to go to Jianghuai for the first battle, [-]% of the elites of the generals were brought here, and the [-] army was even more elite. The overall combat effectiveness of the army was much higher than that of the Henan army.

After persuading the surrender to no avail, Zhu Yuanzhang resolutely directed the siege personally, and fierce generals such as Luo Shixin, Xue Ju, Xue Rengao all participated in it.

In just one day of defending the city, the Yu army lost [-] defenders, while the Ming army only lost a little over [-]. The ratio of offensive and defensive casualties reached a shocking one-to-one ratio. Shouchun City couldn't hold on until reinforcements arrived.

It took Zhu Yuanzhang only one day to completely shatter Yuan Shu's hopes, and the situation did not improve the next day. The casualties of the Yu army became even greater, which also plunged the entire Shouchun City into a deep crisis. in despair.

There was no hope of defending the city, and it was also hopeless to break out of the encirclement. Stimulated by the huge casualties, the surrender faction of the Henan Army quickly became active.

Yuan Shu was not a strong-willed person, and under the repeated persuasion of the capitulators, he couldn't help thinking of surrendering, but he was unwilling to surrender like this, so he took the initiative to send envoys to seek peace.

Yuan Shu's move to seek peace also made Zhu Yuanzhang realize that Yuan Shu was on the verge of collapse. As long as he worked harder, he might not be able to force Yuan Shu to surrender.

So Zhu Yuanzhang sent Zhu Yunqi as an envoy to enter the city to persuade Yuan Shu to surrender, and gave Yuan Shu a deadline. If he did not open the city and surrender within three days, the nine clans of Yuan's family would be punished.

At this time, the tougher Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was, the more intimidated Yuan Shu could be.

Sure enough, under the persuasion of Zhu Yunqi and the capitulation faction, as well as the coercion of Zhu Yuanzhang, Yuan Shu failed to resist the pressure and decided to open the city to beg for surrender from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yuan Shu's decision was opposed by many loyal officials, but even if the military adviser Yan Xiang tried to persuade him, Yuan Shu, who was completely frightened, still ignored it. In his opinion, Shouchun City was completely hopeless.

But what Yuan Shu didn't expect was that just three days after he surrendered in Kaicheng, Lian Po led the army back, which made Yuan Shu regret even more.

Yuan Shu originally thought that it would take ten days for Lian Po to come back, but it turned out that Lian Po stepped forward so much earlier, which also made Yuan Shu's surrender a complete joke.

Unwilling to lose his power, Yuan Shu intended to launch a rebellion, but was detected by Zhu Yuanzhang in advance.

Under the banner of Yuan Shu, Zhu Yuanzhang promised great profits and threatened his family to win over the top generals of the Henan Army outside the city, while taking precautions to prevent Yuan Shu, who had just surrendered, from rebelling.

Yuan Shu also noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang was on guard, so he hastily launched a rebellion, but facing Zhu Yuanzhang who had been on guard for a long time, Yuan Shu had no chance of winning at all, and finally died tragically at Luo Shixin's hands.

　The status is not very good recently, and I am also very busy at work. I am really sorry that the update has been delayed, but please rest assured that the guarantee owed will definitely be paid back.
