Chapter 702: Wen Chou returned to Yecheng
Even Wen Chou was inclined to surrender in his heart, but he was still hesitating and difficult to make a decision.
"The general can't decide, why not let the third prince decide."
It was Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Pi who spoke.
After his brother Xin Ping surrendered to Zhao Hui, Xin Bi's life in Jizhou was not easy.
Yuan Tan didn't trust him at all, last time Yuan Tan even brought Chun Yuqiong with him, but he didn't bring Xin Bi.
Xin Bi has long been dissatisfied with this, and his brother also surrendered to Zhao Hui, so he naturally prefers to surrender Zhao Hui.
Even if Xin Ping is in Youzhou and has not been reused, it is still better than what he is now.
"Let the third prince decide?" Wen Chou's eyes lit up.
He wanted to surrender to Zhao Hui, he just didn't want to be the leader of this surrender.
The two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi both ran away, Tian Feng and Xun Chen were arrested, and Fu Zhu was killed.
And the third son, Yuan Shang, was too young, but he was directly ignored by Wen Chou.
Now that Xin Bi mentioned it, Wen Chou suddenly had a feeling of being sudden.
Isn't Yuan Shang the most ideal candidate?
Yuan Shang, who is not yet an adult, is he not at his mercy now?
"You come with me to see the third son." Wen Chou said.
As a general, Wen Chou does not have the responsibility that a general should have.
The group came to the governor's mansion.
"Wen Chou has seen his wife and the third son." Wen Chou said.
Liu's face was very bad, although Yuan Shang was young, he didn't have a smile on his face now, and he looked at his mother Liu with a little helplessness.
"What does the general have to report?" Liu's face was haggard, obviously lacking in strength.
But after all, she is a woman of the Liu family, and she is the sister of Liu Dai, the original Yanzhou assassin.
When facing Wen Chou Xinbi and others, Liu was not particularly flustered.
It's just that when Yuan Shao was there, she barely interfered in Yuan Shao's affairs.
Later, the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi fought for power, and the Liu family did not help anyone, but only took their third son Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shao's death, she can still let herself persevere.
But now I learned all of a sudden that Yuan Xi ran to Lu Bu, and Yuan Tan's life and death were unknown.
Even if she is strong in her heart, she can't support it now.
She's just a woman after all.
If her husband was not Yuan Shao, Liu might still be able to meddle in a little government affairs before.
But as Yuan Shao's wife, Liu is destined to stay in the backyard all day.
Wen Chou looked at Liu and said: "100,000 enemy troops are already under the city, and the city will be broken in a few days, and I ask my wife and the third prince to decide, whether to surrender or flee." ”
Liu's face was gloomy, and he said, "What does the general think? ”
She knew that Wen Chou came to ask herself, it was probably a formality, otherwise why did Wen Chou come back for many days and only come to see their mother and son today.
Wen Chou asked her now, and it was estimated that she had already made a choice in her heart, and it didn't matter what she said.
Wen Chou said: "If the third son of the lady is unwilling to surrender, Wen Chou will definitely protect the wife and the third son to kill them, but now the 100,000 enemy troops outside the city have been surrounded on all sides, and it is very difficult to break through." ”
Listening to Wen Chou's words, Liu already understood what Wen Chou meant.
In his heart, Liu was unwilling to surrender.
She is just a woman, she doesn't care about the princes competing for hegemony, she doesn't care about the gains and losses of interests.
She only knows that her husband died in Youzhou, and her two sons are now in trouble.
All this is thanks to Zhao Hui.
What's the use of her just not wanting to?
Today's Yecheng is all in the hands of Wen Chou.
If she doesn't agree, her mother and son will probably not be able to escape the doom.
"If you surrender, can the general save the son's life?" Liu said.
Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are already outside, and the only thing that the Liu family can't let go of now is the underage Yuan Shang.
Wen Chou's eyes flashed with joy, it was best for the Liu family to be willing to surrender, and he didn't need to use other means.
"Rest assured, as far as I know, Zhao Hui has never killed a prisoner or a general." Wen Chou said.
Liu grabbed Yuan Shang's hand and said: "The husband loved Shang'er the most during his lifetime, and asked the general to take care of him." ”
"Madame, don't worry, only I, Wen Chou, am still alive, and I will definitely not let anyone hurt the third son." Wen Chou said.
"With the general's guarantee, I can rest assured that everything is decided by the general." Liu said.
"Madame, don't worry."
Wen Chou left with Xin Bi and the others.
He came to the head of the city and prepared to ask the soldiers to open the city gate and surrender to Zhao Hui.
Glancing at Yecheng behind him, if there was still hope, Wen Chou was not willing to surrender like this.
After all, here in Yuan Jun, he is the first fierce general, and he is the first person in the army.
Surrendered to Zhao Hui, he could not have his current position.
But he saw no hope.
If he doesn't surrender, there is only one way to die, and he doesn't want to die.
"Someone, give me orders." Wen Chou retracted his gaze and looked at the camp of the Zhao army outside the city.
He wanted to surrender before the Zhao army attacked the city.
Surrender as soon as possible, otherwise after the Zhao army breaks through the city, it will be meaningless for the Zhao army whether he surrenders or not.
Even if Zhao Jun might not kill him because of his force, his status would only be lower.
After Zhao Jun outside the city set up camp, Zhao Hui and Guo Jia met.
It was intended to give Yuan Jun in the city a day.
If the Yuan army does not surrender tomorrow, then it will directly attack Yecheng.
"My lord, the enemy has opened the gates." Zhao Yun came in and said.
Zhao Hui said: "Let's go, go and see." ”
When the group came to Yuanmen, they saw Wen Chou holding a white flag.
Wen Chou personally went out of the city with 300 people to express his sincerity in surrendering.
Looking at Wen Chou, who went out of the city and surrendered, Zhao Hui and Guo Jia were surprised.
In the Yuan army, there is no one who can handle it.
"Wen Chou has seen Lord Zhoumu."
When Wen Chou was still fifty zhang away from Zhao Hui, he dismounted and walked over on foot.
"Wen Chou, are you going to surrender without a fight?" Dian Wei Dao.
Both Zhao Hui and Guo Jia wanted Yecheng to surrender.
But Dian Wei still wants to fight more.
Wen Chou's surrender so simply made him a little disappointed.
"Zhaozhou Muren is unparalleled, the world is in the heart, I naturally will not go against the sky." Wen Chou said.
"This surrender is also on the order of the third prince, and it is not decided by Wen Chou alone."
"I also invite the state pastor to enter the city with Wen Chou."
"Lord, be careful of deception." Dian Wei Dao.
Wen Chou said sincerely, but Dian Wei didn't want to believe it.
"It's okay Brother Dian, you go into the city with me."
Regardless of whether Wen Chou is fraudulent or not, Zhao Hui has to enter the city now.
He is strong in his own right, and he is protected by Dian Wei.
Even if Yecheng is the tiger's den in Longtan, Zhao Hui dares to go on it.
If there were only orphans and widows left in Yecheng, he would not dare to enter the city, wouldn't he be made fun of by the world.
With an army of 100,000, it is naturally impossible for all of them to enter the city.
Yecheng is a big city, the city has a large population, Zhao Hui is here to take over Yecheng, not to let Yecheng be destroyed.
All 100,000 troops entered the city, and even if the Zhao army was strictly disciplined, it would always have an impact on the people in the city.
Zhao Hui only took Dian Wei and three thousand elite soldiers, and followed Wen Chou into Yecheng.
