Chapter 135: Catching a turtle in a jar! (Thanks for the monthly ticket support from "No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare to your smile!")
Hearing Man Chong's shout, Yu Jin, who had just walked onto the suspension bridge, immediately stopped and looked behind the city gate with a vigilant look.

After observing carefully for a moment, he did not notice anything unusual, so he turned his head to look at Man Chong who had come to his side:
"Bo Ning, you worry too much. I see nothing unusual in the city, and the enemy has already opened the city gates.

"Isn't it normal that the enemy army is surrendering to the might of the lord?"

Man Chong shook his head cautiously:
"Has General Yu forgotten how many soldiers are left in this city?"

After Man Chong's reminder, Yu Jin remembered that Wei Yan came out with 5,000 soldiers and horses.

According to their previous investigation, Jingling City had a total of 15,000 soldiers.

In other words, there should still be 10,000 troops in Jingling City at this time!
Yu Fan on the tower seemed to have guessed the two's concerns and immediately said:
“Generals, don’t worry too much. There are only two thousand soldiers in the city now.

“The remaining 8,000 soldiers were taken away by another general named Zhu Huan.

“This guy is from the Zhu family in Danyang County. People from aristocratic families have always been quite prestigious.

"When he saw that Lü Bu was doomed, he led this group of people to Xiakou Port and planned to return directly to Danyang!"

Yu Jin nodded slightly, thinking that this explanation was reasonable:
"Commander-in-chief Wei Yan has already fled with his tail between his legs. There should be no generals capable of fighting in the city.

“There shouldn’t be any big problems for us to take over the city.

“Even if there is a problem, it won’t be difficult for us to break out.

"Although attacking a city is difficult, leaving it is a very easy task!"

Having said that, Man Chong still felt something was wrong.

He raised his head, looked at Yu Fan coldly, and asked dissatisfiedly:
"Since you have surrendered, why don't you come down to greet us in person? Do you not take us seriously, or do you have other intentions?"

Yu Fan's heart skipped a beat.

But he hesitated for only a second, then immediately cupped his hands:
"I am standing on the tower just to prevent Wei Yan from suddenly coming back to attack.

"Since the general has a request, I will come down to greet him right away!"

Having said that, Yu Fan hurried downstairs and went straight to Man Chong and Yu Jin.

"Left and right, capture this man and take him out to be beheaded!"

Man Chong gave the order in a cold voice:
"If such a traitor can betray Lü Bu today because of a dangerous situation, won't he betray my master in the future?"

Yu Fan's face instantly turned pale with fear, and he quickly shouted:

"How can the general treat such a meritorious official like this?

"I surrendered to Lu Bu out of helplessness.

"Now that I heard that General Cao was coming with a large army, I was already secretly delighted.

"Because General Cao is the real wise man in my mind!
"In my opinion, only General Cao is qualified to achieve imperial hegemony!
“Now I finally have the opportunity to show my loyalty to General Cao.

"If the general kills me today, who will be willing to surrender in the future?"

After listening to Yu Fan's words, Man Chong's eyes lit up!
Especially the sentence "Only General Cao is qualified to achieve imperial hegemony", which coincides with his thoughts!

Man Chong finally agreed with the other party to some extent, and immediately dismissed the soldiers who were holding him captive, and said in a slightly softer tone:

"I will trust you for now. But if you dare to disobey me, I will kill you immediately!"

After being untied, Yu Fan hurriedly bowed to Man Chong and Yu Jin:
"I have always been timid. Even if you lend me a hundred courages, I will not dare to disobey you!" Seeing Yu Fan say this, Yu Jin, who had been silent, could not help but urge him:
"Alright, alright. I believe this bearded man is not a fickle person. Let's hurry into the city!"

Seeing that Yu Jin could not wait any longer, Man Chong said no more and immediately followed Yu Fan into the city.

Man Chong's hands were always on the iron chain around his waist.

Once any unusual changes occur in the city, he will kill Yu Fan immediately!

But it can be seen that this guy is really timid and he would not gamble with his own life.

Thinking of this, Man Chong, who had already entered the city, couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual around him.

He and Yu Jin immediately split into two groups.

He was responsible for taking over the city defense, while Yu Jin, under the leadership of Yu Fan, led two thousand soldiers and horses straight to the city lord's mansion to obtain the seal.

Without the cautious Man Chong accompanying him, Yu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

While no one around him was paying attention, he quietly stuffed a bean into his mouth and swallowed it.

Just when Yu Jin was about to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion, Yu Fan suddenly covered his stomach and cried out "Ouch".

Yu Jin was not so wary of Yu Fan. Instead, he had a good impression of him because he took the initiative to surrender.

Seeing Yu Fan holding his stomach in pain, he immediately asked:
"What happened to Brother Yu Fan?"

Yu Fan's face turned pale, he covered his stomach with one hand and his butt with the other, and answered in a trembling voice:

"Maybe I had a stomach upset this morning, plus I was threatened by General Man Chong just now...

"General Yu, can you please let me go to the toilet? I really can't hold it any longer!"

Looking at Yu Fan's expression which looked as if he was about to burst out in the next second, Yu Jin felt that he had already vaguely smelled something.

He didn't think the other party was pretending at all, and quickly waved his hand in disdain:

"Go quickly! I will go to the City Lord's Mansion myself."

Yu Fan thanked him quickly and limped into the alley.

Yu Jin shook his head speechlessly and led two thousand soldiers straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

I didn't even think of sending two soldiers to monitor Yu Fan...

When Yu Jin led his army to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he found that there was no one near the Mansion.

The cold winter wind blew out from the open door of the City Lord's Mansion, allowing Yu Jin to vaguely smell a hint of danger.

Just as he was hesitating whether to send two soldiers into the City Lord's Mansion to check the situation, a cannon suddenly sounded!
A total of four groups of people rushed out from both sides of the City Lord's Mansion and both sides of the street behind!
Each team has a full two thousand people!
The eight thousand people that Yu Fan mentioned being taken away by Zhu Huan were actually hiding here!
Seeing that these enemy troops had blocked all the roads, Yu Jin's face changed drastically, and he and his soldiers were all in a panic!
Just now he was fantasizing about taking over the city and getting promoted, but the next moment he was surrounded by enemy troops!
Yu Jin's face turned extremely pale, and he clenched his teeth and uttered a hateful curse:

"Yu Fan, you bastard! You actually deceived me!
"Don't panic, soldiers. The city is small and the enemy will not be able to make any progress no matter how many of them there are. Follow me and kill them!"

As he said this, Yu Jin commanded his troops to break out to the rear.

However, at this moment, a young general full of pride rode out on his horse, pointing his precious sword directly at Yu Jin:

"You are already trapped in a jar. Why don't you surrender quickly and become my prisoner?"

Yu Jin became furious and slammed the golden iron sword in his right hand across the Niwang Shield!
The surrounding soldiers tacitly made way for Yu Jin to rush straight towards the enemy general!
Zhu Huan was not afraid at all. He also rode forward and fought fiercely with Yu Jin!
