Chapter 161 The City Breaks

Guo Huai's forehead was already dripping with sweat.

All things generate and restrain each other, the most famous saying is true, in Guo Huai's eyes, the invincible has always been invincible in the world, the first to enter the camp, at this moment, there is nothing to do with the heavy armored euphorbia, and the rain of arrows is like a tide. It can't stop their offensive footsteps at all.Those steel warriors are like giant beasts with rough skin and thick flesh, stepping forward step by step bravely and fearlessly.

Three hundred steps. Two hundred steps. One hundred steps and fifty steps.
Finally, the heavy armor of the Euphorbia warriors formed an formation and came to the front of the Pingyuan army. With their huge figures covering the sun, they raised the heavy halberds in their hands, and slashed fiercely at the formation that had entered the camp first!
In terms of the power of bows and crossbows, going to the camp first is enough to be the leader of all the rare soldiers in the world, but once the advantage of distance is lost, in front of the euphorbia warriors, going to the camp first is like a group of pigs waiting to be slaughtered, there is no way to fight back Power.

The euphorbia warriors rushed to the front of the first camp, and they were all taken care of with just one round of swiping their halberds.First board the camp, birds, beasts and fish scattered, and fled in all directions, one by one running faster than flying.

The enemy's morale is not stable after first ascending the camp, how can Yuan Jun let go of such a god-given opportunity?
But Yuan Shang pulled out his sword from his waist, commanded the soldiers behind him and said loudly: "Brothers! Go up to me, take down the city, and capture Guo Huai and Huang Kang alive!"

"kill--!"

As the Euphorbia battalion broke through the front of the first camp, coupled with Yuan Shang's loud encouragement, the three divisions of Yuan Jun immediately divided into three routes, left and right, and went straight to the center of the Pingyuan Army.

Yuan Jun's number is ten times that of the enemy's, and they are brave and good at fighting. They can't go on the same day as the Pingyuan Army. The rain scattered, and there was no way to fight back.

Among the Yuan army, Gao Lan was the front line, and he beheaded the seven generals of the Pingyuan army, which made them leaderless and unable to organize a powerful counterattack.

Seeing the bravery of the enemy army, Guo Huai couldn't help being terrified when he saw that there was nothing he could do on his own side, and hurriedly organized the remaining troops to retreat to the rear.

Zhang Jai, Gao Lan, Zhang Yan and others see Guo Huai fleeing, how can they let go?Immediately organized soldiers and horses to catch up.

Guo Huai led a group of remnants, rushed to the bottom of the city, and shouted loudly to the top of the city: "Quickly open the city gate!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of wooden wheels and ropes "creaking and creaking". Seeing that the gate of Pingyuan City was slowly opening and the suspension bridge was falling, Guo Huai and the others rushed inside without stopping.

Just after passing the main gate of the city gate, he suddenly heard a long laugh looking up to the sky. At the gate of the inner city gate, Wang Shuangzheng was leading a group of infantry to stand on the spot, watching Guo Huai rushing into the inner city with a sneering look on his face, with the saber in his hand falling from side to side. Hands, as if waiting for a rabbit.

When Guo Huai saw Wang Shuang, he felt dizzy for a while, and said angrily, "How did you get out?"

Wang Shuang looked up to the sky with a long smile, pointed at Guo Huai with his knife, and said: "My man, how can the wisdom of ants like you calculate more than the magic trick of my military division Tian? Mr. Tian had already persuaded the prefect Huang Kang to surrender when he entered the city. , the two of us were taken down just to fool your eyes and ears, now that Wang Xiu has been captured by me, the city has already fallen, you have no way out, you rat, how long will you wait if you don't want to be captured?"

"Fart! I, Guo Huai, a man of eight feet, how can I surrender you? Look at the trick!"
On the line of life and death, if you advance, you will die, if you retreat, you will die, Guo Huai didn't care about it, he clamped his legs, and rode his horse straight to grab Wang Shuang and go.

Wang Shuang was also unambiguous, and did not need the help of others, and fought against Guo Huai alone.

After the battle with Zhang Jaw just now, Guo Huai was exhausted physically and at the end of his strength, and Wang Shuang was recharging his energy and ready to go. How could Guo Huai at this moment be comparable?

Two swords intersected, two horses intertwined, and the two fought under the inner city wall. After only ten rounds of back and forth, Guo Huai was out of breath and powerless. If he didn't pay attention, he was swept away by Wang Shuang's sword back Thousands of troops were swept off their horses.

Wang Shuang jumped down, put the knife on Guo Huai's neck, and said with a smile: "You are a talent, it's a pity to kill you, how about it? In a word, surrender or not?"

Guo Huai said "Bah!", but didn't answer, he turned his head, and ignored Wang Shuang, only waiting for his neck to be killed.

Seeing this, Wang Shuang couldn't help being furious, and raised his hand to kill Guo Huai.

"Wang Shuang stop, the lord has an order to save Guo Huai's life!" Zhang Jai rushed forward first, seeing that Wang Shuang wanted to kill Guo Huai, he hurriedly spoke to stop him, but he stopped Wang Shuang from doing it.

***********
The city was broken, Wang Xiu was imprisoned, Huang Kang had rebelled, Guo Huai was captured, and Pingyuan City was decided at the blink of an eye. With the capture of the last city, the Battle of Qingzhou was finally won.

After pacifying the officers, soldiers and civilians in the city, Yuan Shang and a group of generals came to the Pingyuan Governor's Mansion. First, they met Huang Kang who had planned against Tian Feng and surrendered. They comforted him and still regarded him as the Pingyuan Governor Huang Kang immediately thanked him for submitting.

When they were young, Wang Shuang took the lead to bring Wang Xiu and Guo Huai who refused to surrender in the city to Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang had already learned about the situation from Tian Feng, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although stupid and loyal, they are all talents from Hebei. It is a pity to kill them, so it is better to recruit them.

"Wang Xiu, Guo Huai, you two stubbornly resisted and caused the people of Pingyuan County to suffer from the war, but now you still haven't pleaded guilty?"

Guo Huai's complexion twitched, but Wang Xiu snorted and said, "You disrespect your father's order and attack your brothers and sisters for no reason. How can I, Wang Xiu, surrender you?"

Yuan Tan sighed, shook his head, and said, "You said I had no reason to attack Qingzhou? On the day my father passed away, Yuan Tan also rushed back to Qingzhou for no reason. If he didn't go to his father's funeral, he clearly had an objection. If I don't act first, when he contacts Cao Cao and divides Hebei, he will stop to avenge his father, even the land of these four states will belong to Cao Cao sooner or later!"

Wang Xiu snorted, and said angrily: "It's just nonsense! Yuan Shang, it's a man who does it, so why bother to blame others? You say Yuan Qingzhou has an antagonism, it's all speculation, but is there any real evidence? "

Yuan Shang sighed, clapped his hands and said, "Zhuo Huayan and Wang Zhao came up to confront him!"

When I was young, I saw Hua Yan and Wang Zhao coming to the hall, and they met Yuan Shang with their hands together. Yuan Shang waved his hand casually and said, "You don't need to be too polite, you two used to be my elder brother's thighs, the things he did, Nine out of ten things you all know, tell Wang Biejia well and let him learn more."

How dare Hua Yan and Wang Zhao disobey their orders when they heard the words, and then, in recent years, Yuan Tan intends to seize the throne, and has murdered Yuan Shang several times, including the incident of Kong Shun last time, one by one.

These things are detailed and well-prepared, and everything narrated by the two of them is well-founded, and it is by no means something that can be arranged overnight.

Wang Xiu is a smart person, after listening to the description of the two, he has realized something in his heart, and he knows that with the wisdom of the two, it is absolutely impossible to make up such a detailed nonsense in a short period of time.

But Wang Xiu has always been loyal to Yuan Tan, now that he suddenly heard this, how could he accept it for a while?
On the other hand, Guo Huai and Yuan Tan had nothing to do with each other, his expression shook when he heard the words, he was in a state of confusion for a while, he didn't know what to say or what to do, he just remained silent.

Wang Xiu stayed where he was for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice, "I don't believe it!"

"Hiss——" Yuan Shang was so angry that he took a breath of air. He was about to scold Wang Xiu when he saw Deng Chang walking up to him and whispering in Yuan Shang's ear, "Wang Xiu is a famous local man." , has always been the most strong character, my lord, if you persuade him to surrender like this, he will not lose face even if he wants to surrender, this old man has a trick, which can help you subdue Wang Xiu."

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "What plan?"

"The so-called celebrity, the most important thing is face. If he wants face, you will give it to him, my lord. After a while, you will go up in person, untie him, say some polite things, and let him go. Wang Xiu will naturally agree to the steps. Surrendered, easy and trouble-free without wasting time, how great."

Yuan Shang nodded his head when he heard the words, thinking that future generations will read history books, unbinding and untying the enemy prisoners in person is a method used by many wise masters in order to regain the loyalty of the enemy's talents.

For example, Cao Cao Shi Xu Chu Zhang Liao Pound, Sun Ce Shi Taishi Ci, etc., all used this trick. Today Deng Chang proposed it. Why don't I follow them and try a little bit?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shang got up immediately, walked in front of Wang Xiu with big strides, and raised his hand a few times to untie the rope on Wang Xiu's body.

Seeing this, Wang Xiu was slightly surprised, looked at Yuan Shang in puzzlement and said, "What are you doing?"

Yuan Shang looked calm, waved his hands generously, and said: "I have always killed the rich but not the poor, killed the corrupt but not the honest, killed the villain but not the righteous, and killed the slut but not the capable. Don't drive, you are a capable and loyal person, I admire you, let's go!"

Hearing this, Wang Xiu's expression changed immediately, and he said: "I suppressed Huang Kang in Pingyuan City and refused to surrender, so I made things difficult for you, do you not hold grudges?"

Yuan Shang pretended to smile heartily, and said: "Showing your face to eliminate old grievances, smiling to wipe away grievances, what a big deal, I, Yuan Shang, am not a stingy person! I have my own principles of life, don't be suspicious, king, just leave, there will be fate in the future , we will meet again!"

According to Yuan Shang's prediction, Wang Xiu's wisdom and EQ should have been overwhelmed by his aura of majesty and majesty, and he knelt on the ground to admit his mistake after hundreds of refinements. , Natou bowed and shouted to the Lord!
And because of the matter of recovering Wang Xiu, I will leave a strong and wise stroke in the history books in the future!It is talked about by posterity.

Looking up, Wang Xiu still looked suspiciously at Yuan Shang, and said in a low voice, "Then I'm leaving."

"Let's go, let's go!" Yuan Shang waved his hand generously.

Wang Xiu began to slowly walk out of the hall: "Then I'm really leaving."

"Don't worry, king, don't worry, I treat people with benevolence and righteousness, and I will never lie to you. Let's go, and I won't be able to catch up with the second bus."

Wang Xiu had already retreated to the entrance of the hall, looked Yuan Shang up and down for the last time, then cupped his hands, turned and disappeared.

Yuan Shang, on the other hand, stood in the hall with a confident smile on his face, watching Wang Xiu's gradually leaving figure, waiting for him to kill a carbine, and came back crying to worship.

Outside the hall, the wind rustled, and there was a faint sound of leaves falling to the ground, just like the silent hall, supporting an inexplicable chill.

After the effort of three sticks of incense.
Elder Deng Chang moved gently to Yuan Shang's side, his Adam's apple moved, he swallowed carefully, and said in a low voice, "My lord, it seems that he really left."

Yuan Shang still had that confident smile on his face: "No way? Am I not generous enough?"

"The lord is wise and resolute, broad-minded, bold and unrestrained. He personally released the felons and exiled them. Although the ancient sage Yi Yin couldn't match it. Gentleman, if Wang Xiu does not repay his kindness, he is really a villain."

Yuan Shang turned his head gently, and said with a smile: "Since I am so good and Wang Xiu is so unworthy, why doesn't he change his past and accept his head and worship me?"

Deng Chang wiped his sweat, and said weakly: "Well, people have their own ambitions, and the old man can't tell what Wang Xiu is thinking. Maybe he hasn't read the Analects, maybe he has, but he hasn't read the gentleman's magnanimity, The sentence of the villain's eldest brother."

Yuan Shang nodded, and sighed: "What Mr. Deng said is that Mr. Wang's knowledge is too narrow, so I don't feel relieved to let him go out and wander the rivers and lakes like this!"

Deng Chang suddenly realized: "What does my lord mean?"

"Come on, take the rope and tie Mr. Wang back. The rivers and lakes are dangerous, so we can't let him wander around alone. We have to take care of the eldest brother."

"My lord, Gao Yi, really admires this old man. If Wang Xiu knew that you are so considerate of him, my lord, he would definitely be grateful."

"No way, a gentleman is magnanimous, but it's not easy to be a gentleman. You have to worry about your life all day."
