The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 115 Seeing Yuan Yao Again
"Yuan Shu is dead, the Lujiang River is broken, and those who descend will not be killed!" Li Yuan pointed his tiger-headed golden spear at the sky, his voice seemed to resound through the sky, and everyone could hear it.

"The surrender will not be killed!" First Li Yuan, then Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and all the soldiers shouted.

"Those who surrender will not be killed, those who surrender will not be killed!" The shouts echoed in the city one after another, and Yuan Shujun was shocked when he heard it.

"I surrender, I surrender, don't fight anymore." Many soldiers put down their weapons and surrendered. They chose to give up wisely when they knew that victory was impossible. What's more, Yuan Shu was dead. Who to fight for.

However, there are still two hundred people tightly surrounding Ji Ling who do not surrender. These people are veterans who have followed Ji Ling for many years, and they are also Ji Ling's most loyal guards. Thousands of troops surrounded them tightly, and as long as Li Yuan gave an order to tens of thousands of troops, they would chop them into minced meat.

"Ji Ling, those who know the current affairs are heroes, so let's surrender. Resisting in front of General Li will only lead to death." Sun Ce walked over to persuade him.

"Hmph, I, Ji Ling, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It's not so easy for me to surrender!" Ji Ling snorted coldly.

"Ji Ling, it's fine if you don't want to die, but have you ever thought about the subordinates around you, they are so loyal to you, they must be soldiers who have followed you for many years, if you let them die because of you alone, do you think it's worth it? , don’t forget that they also have family members, if they die their family members will be sad, you should think about it yourself.” Li Yuan also persuaded, he knew that Ji Ling was a talent, so he didn’t want to kill him.

Ji Ling glanced at the subordinates around him. Facing the intimidation of Li Yuan's army, although their faces were firm, they still couldn't hide the fear in their eyes. As Li Yuan said, these people were all subordinates who had followed him through life and death for many years. , How could he have the heart to let them die together.

After a long silence, with a bang, Ji Ling threw away his weapon, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Oh, you all surrender, you don't have to die because of me."

A sense of sadness emerged from Ji Ling, affecting the soldiers around him. Seeing Ji Ling's powerless expression, they all put down their weapons.

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and then arranged for people to clean up the battlefield, collect the prisoners and extinguish the fire. Although the fire destroyed many houses this time, they can still be rebuilt in the future. At least the Lujiang River has been included. Home damage is nothing.

Li Yuan's army lost a total of 500 people in this attack on Lujiang, and the casualties were not too many. This is also thanks to Sun Ce's support in the city, otherwise the number of casualties would have been at least ten times higher, and [-] soldiers had been collected two days ago , enough to make up for this loss.

As for Sun Ce's loss, it can be said that it is not insignificant. The more than 2000 Danyang soldiers who finally recruited were 200% less, and now there are only more than 8000 people left, but now Yuan Shu's army has surrendered a total of [-] soldiers. To completely digest these people, he only earns but not loses. However, Sun Ce is the one who killed their lord. It is not easy to completely subdue their hearts, it depends on Sun Ce's ability.

"My lord, what should we do if we caught his family members in Yuan Shu's mansion?" Huang Zhong's soldiers captured the family members, and Huang Zhong immediately reported to Li Yuan after learning about it.

"Apart from these family members, have those courtiers under Yuan Shu's command been caught?" Li Yuan asked.

"Only Yuan Huan and Yan Xiang were caught, the others have escaped." Huang Zhong replied.Yuan Huan here has no blood relationship with Yuan Shu. Yuan Huan was born in the Yuan family of Chenjun, and his father was Yuan Pang, who was an official to Situ.

"Perhaps they ran away from another city gate after knowing Yuan Shu's death. After giving Yuan Yao a meal, he must have held a grudge and wanted revenge.

"Wait, Li Yuan, what do you want to do with Yuan Shu's family?" Ji Ling worried, he was afraid that Li Yuan would kill them all.

Li Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Yuan Shu's son, Yuan Yao, has some grievances with me. How I deal with it depends on your performance."

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Yuan Yao would have grievances with Li Yuan, let alone why Li Yuan would say that he saw his performance, and asked in confusion: "What do you want from me?"

"It's very simple, it works for me."

"You... want me to surrender. How can I, Ji Ling, be an ungrateful person? My lord has been so kind to me, how can I rely on you!" Ji Ling refused Li Yuan's offer of solicitation without even thinking about it.

"Although Yuan Shu's kindness to you is as great as a mountain, he is not the master of the Ming Dynasty. Now he is defeated by me and died by Sun Ce's sword. This move is not your fault, but the trend of the times. Heroes compete in the world, and the one who can have the last laugh There are only the strongest, but there are countless people who sacrificed, but in order to unify the world, for the common people, sacrifices are inevitable, not to mention sacrificing Yuan Shu alone, even if I die on the battlefield, I will never complain, this is The so-called winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit.”

Li Yuan has already seen it very openly. There is no one who is immortal in a war. He was ready to die from the moment he stepped into the battlefield. After all, wars are changing rapidly, and the results of every battle cannot be predicted. No matter how smart or powerful a person is There will also be times of miscalculation.

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Li Yuan said was not unreasonable. He knew that Yuan Shu was indeed not a wise master, but since he worked for Yuan Shu, he couldn't be easily distracted. However, now that Yuan Shu is dead, he should also think about himself. Moreover, Yuan Shu didn't die at the hands of Li Yuan, but at the hands of Sun Ce. Thinking about it, he didn't hate Li Yuan so much.

"Ji Ling, as long as Yuan Yao and others don't plot against me, I will promise you not to harm Yuan Shu's family, and I will return your subordinates to you. I will give you a few days to think about it yourself. "Li Yuan felt that Ji Ling had been moved for a long time, so he decided not to push him so hard, and let him think carefully.

After arranging Ji Ling's matter, Li Yuan went to meet Yuan Shu's family members and came to Yuan Shu's mansion. At this time, the inside was heavily guarded, and all the family members were dragged into the hall to wait.

When Li Yuan walked in, Yuan Yao jumped up excitedly, pointed at Li Yuan and said, "Why do you appear here?"

"Bold, how dare you be rude to General Li!" A soldier walked over and slapped Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao was so beaten that his eyes stared at him, he shook his head, and finally came to his senses, he dared not say anything: "Could it be that you are Li Yuan and Li Wenzhong?"
