In the past, there was the overlord of Western Chu embattled, and now there is Yuan Benchu surrounded by Zhao Ge.

After getting the news that Yecheng had fallen and the entire territory of Jizhou was divided by Cao, Ran, and Gongsun, Li Jing was not in a hurry to attack the city, and ordered the surrendered Yuan army to sing Zhao Ge, and 200,000 Han troops sang along with it, singing day and night. The military cooks are singing, the horsemen feeding the horses are singing, and the patrolling soldiers are singing.

Under the powerful military offensive and psychological offensive of the Han army, the confidence of the Yuan army in Pingling City collapsed, and the fighting spirit dropped to the freezing point, and people continued to secretly open the city gate to surrender.

Li Jing was not in a hurry to attack the city, and ordered the 200,000 troops to stand still and sit back and watch the Yuan army itself fight. If you forcibly attack the city now, it will make Yuan Jun's dog jump over the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit will bite in a hurry, and the loss of troops will be in vain.

For two consecutive days, the people who surrendered in the Yuan army out of the city rose one after another, like the raging sea, allowing Gao Gan and Chun Yuqiong to bloody suppression, and killed thousands of people under the four gates, but to no avail.

The people who went out of the city to surrender slowly developed from the earliest soldiers to low-level officers such as tun commanders and military marquis, and then there were middle-level military attachés at the rank of lieutenants and military commanders with their own soldiers who forcibly broke through the obstruction of Yuan Shao's line and crossed the moat to surrender to the Han army.

"The general trend has gone, why don't Ao Cao descend early?" In the end, even Yuan Shao's old friend Xu You moved the mind of surrendering to Yuan Jun, and before leaving, he wanted to present his name to the Han Army and abduct Gao Gao by the way.

Gao Gao has no relatives with Yuan Shao, but he is from the same clan as Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan. When he was invited to serve last year, Yuan Shao still had 150,000 or 60,000 horses in his hands, and he still had the strength to fight, so Gao Aocao agreed to Gao Gan's invitation to work for Yuan Shao. What I didn't expect was that only about a year had passed, and Yuan Shao was already at the end of his rope.

"Alas...... Who doesn't want to make a name for themselves in history? It's just that I killed Gao Ran a few times ago, but I'm afraid that the Han army won't allow it! Gao Gao and Xu Yu sat opposite each other under the lamp, constantly sighing and sighing, showing the hero's shortness of breath.

Xu You said with relief: "Don't worry, Ao Cao, don't you see Huang Zhong and Zhang He?" The Son of Heaven is determined to be in all directions, and he must not count the previous suspicions, not to mention that it is his own master, and you are not at fault! What's more, Gao Ran is a general, he has no credit to the Son of Heaven, and he has no connections, he died in vain, and few people will hold you accountable for his grievances! ”

Gao Gao is still a little uneasy: "Mr. Lao Ziyuan went to the Han army camp to test Li Jing's tone, if he didn't investigate the past, Gao Gao was willing to open the city gate to welcome the Han army into the city." ”

The discussion stopped, and Xu You immediately left Pingling City from the west gate guarded by Gao and asked to see Li Jing overnight. After saying his intention to surrender, he described how he persuaded Gao Gao to add fuel and vinegar to it, asked for merit and reward for himself, and asked Li Jing about his attitude towards Gao Gao?

Li Jing arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is magnanimous and governs the country with virtue, as long as you can repent and repent, not only will you not blame the past, but you will also be allowed to atone for your sins." I heard that this tall bow horse is skillful, and his martial arts are excellent, if he is willing to open the door and surrender, it will naturally be a good thing, Li Jing will be the son of the book, and invite merit and reward for him! ”

Xu You was overjoyed, immediately bid farewell to Li Jing, returned to Pingling to meet Gao Gao, and agreed with Li Jing to raise fire after the third watch, open the west gate by Gao Gao, and the Han army entered the city in a big way.

After Xu You left, Li Jing immediately summoned all the generals and strategists under his command to gather in the commander's tent to discuss the strategy of seizing Pingling.

I saw that the candles in the tent were brilliant, Li Jing, the governor of Qingzhou, was sitting in the middle, and Xue Rengui, the general of Anbei, and Wei Yan, the general of Andong, were both deputy governors, sitting on both sides of the handsome case.

The other civil and military forces stood on both sides, on the left there were Gao Chong, Chen Deng, Guan Sheng, Cheng Yanjin, Yue Yun, Tian Zhen, Xu Sheng and others, and on the right were Tai Shici, Xu Shu, Lu Wenlong, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang He, Hua Mulan, Yu Juluo and others, including various miscellaneous generals, partial generals, and generals, the general tent was crowded.

After some discussion, in order to avoid a high surrender, Li Jing decided to divide his troops into the city, and let other generals feint to attack the east, south, and north gates to contain the defense of Yuan's army.

"Where is Xue Rengui?" Li Jing was sitting precariously and shouting loudly.

Xue Rengui stood up and hugged his wrist to salute: "The last general will listen to the order!" ”

Li Jing touched an arrow: "Order you, Gao Chong, Lu Wenlong, and Yue Yun to each select three thousand of the most elite soldiers, and after opening the city gate highly, enter the city with lightning speed, capture the remaining three gates respectively, put down the drawbridge, and welcome our army into the city!" ”

"No!"

Under the leadership of Xue Rengui, the three fierce men of Gao Chong, Lu Wenlong, and Yue Yun received orders at the same time, each received the order and arrow, and selected elite soldiers.

In Li Jing's eyes, these four people are the four strongest generals under his command, and they will be invincible if they charge together. And when the city gate was just opened, there should not be too many soldiers entering the city, but not too many, so as not to trample on each other, so let each of them lead 3,000 people as the first batch to enter the city.

After the four fierce generals Xue, Gao, Lu, and Yue took the order, Li Jing ordered again: "The four generals Tai Shici, Tian Zhen, Cheng Biting Jin, and Yujuluo each led 6,000 troops, and after the first batch of elites entered the city, they followed them into Pingling and surrounded Yuan Shao's mansion and Yuan Jun's residence, granary, official mansion and other important places!" ”

"Order!"

Tai Shici, Tian Zhen, Cheng Yanjin, and Yu Juluo agreed together, and each took the order to order the arrows to go.

Li Jing arched his hand towards Wei Yan and said: "Trouble General Wenchang led 10,000 troops to feint the east gate, Guan Sheng led 10,000 troops to feint the south gate, and Xu Sheng led 10,000 troops to feint the north gate!" After the other people opened the city gate from the inside, they entered the city together and surrounded and suppressed the remnants of Yuan Shao. ”

"No!"

Wei Yan, Guan Sheng, and Xu Sheng took the order together.

"Order Zhao Kuangyin, Hua Mulan, and Zhang He to each lead 10,000 people to stand by outside the city, and surround Pingling City, and not let anyone go!" Li Jing issued another order to Zhao Kuangyin and the others.

"Order!"

Zhao Kuangyin, Hua Mulan, and Zhang He gave up their orders together, but their moods were different.

Zhang He was grateful for Li Jing's refusal to let him meet his old master, and Hua Mulan was excited to lead an army of tens of thousands for the first time. And Zhao Kuangyin obviously felt that he was rejected by Li Jing and was not reused.

Li Jing finally glanced at Xu Shu and Chen Deng: "Yuan Zhi and Yuan Long sit in the handsome tent with me, and deal with various affairs on the spot. To attack the city tonight, you only need to invest 100,000 people, and the others are on standby at any time! ”

After the third watch, Gao Gao lowered the drawbridge, opened the city gate, lit the torches, and sent a signal to the Han army in accordance with the agreement.

Xue Rengui carried a red rabbit horse under his crotch, holding a temporarily cast Fang Tian halberd, hanging a green sword at his waist, and hanging thousands of miles of clouds and smoke on his back, leading the team to charge.

And Gao Chong, Lu Wenlong, and Yue Yun refused to show weakness, only to see Gao Chong holding a golden tiger head gun, Lu Wenlong holding a double gun, and fifteen-year-old Yue Yun carrying a pair of eighty-pound sledgehammers, almost on par with Xue Rengui, like four tigers, leading the most elite people and horses selected from 200,000 people, swept into Pingling City like a tide.

Standing aside with a horse lance in his hand, watching the Han army sweep into the city like a tide, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really the division of tigers and wolves!" ”

The four eternal fierce generals, at the same time, attacked together, the power is amazing, everywhere they go, they are invincible, and there is no enemy in front of the horse. Where the horses' hooves are stepped, the corpses are piled up, and the blood flows like a river, if you use one word to describe it, it is "mowing the grass", if you find another word to describe it, it is "crushing!" ”

Xue Rengui brandished a halberd and led the three thousand elites to take Yuan Shao's mansion directly, and met Chun Yuqiong head-on. The two horses intersected, and none of them were together, and a halberd was cut under the Qiong horse, killing and scattering the entourage, and taking Yuan Shao's mansion directly.

And Gao Pet, Lu Wenlong, Yue Yun three generals under the leadership of the guide rushed to the east, south, north three city gates, Gao Pet held a chiseled golden tiger head gun all the way to charge, no one could stop, and Lu Weihuang met on the narrow road, did not talk, a shot stabbed under the horse, the head of the head to continue to advance.

On the way to the south gate, he met Gao Gan who had just been withdrawn from the city wall, and his two guns shot like lightning, and he stabbed Gao Gan in a pool of blood with just one combination, and was immediately cut off by the soldiers behind him, and continued to charge forward.

Just when Gao Gao was shocked by the elite soldiers of the Han army, the second wave of men and horses followed, Tai Shi Ci led six thousand men and horses with a dragon halberd in his hand, Tian Zhen carried a cross gun and led six thousand elites to follow in, the third was Cheng Yanjin, and the last one was Yujuluo, each team was six thousand, arranged in a neat formation, and the footsteps shook the houses with a huge momentum.

After the four teams entered the city, according to Li Jing's orders, they attacked the garrison of the Yuan army, controlled the granary and the treasury, and surrounded the official residence, each performing its own duties in an orderly manner.

Gao Chong, Lu Wenlong, and Yue Yun were like bamboos, and captured the eastern, southern, and northern city gates at the fastest speed, and then put down the drawbridge, opened the city gates, and welcomed Wei Yan, Guan Sheng, and Xu Sheng, the three groups of men and horses poured into Pingling at the same time, and besieged Yuan's army all over the city. Under the powerful offensive of the Han army, the Yuan army was defeated like a mountain, and the death surrendered, and a siege battle was only a meal, and it was nearing the end, and the only thing that still resisted was Yuan Shao's mansion.

"Surround me and capture Yuan Shao alive!" Xue Rengui put the red rabbit horse under his crotch, the Fang Tian halberd in his left hand, and the Qingyu sword in his right hand, and commanded his elite to surround Yuan Shao's place.

"Lord, the city is broken, what should I do?" Feng Ji instructed Yuan Shao's personal soldiers to block it desperately for a while, and came to see Yuan Shao in a panic.

Yuan Shao was fully clothed, sat behind the handsome case and laughed miserably: "So what? Today is only death! Heaven doesn't help me Yuan, and I can't die blindly! I have arranged flammable materials such as sulfur and fire nitrate in the room, please help me light a fire and send me out of this world! ”

"My lord?" Feng Ji wept and couldn't bear to start.

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and glared at Feng Ji angrily: "You and Zhen Zhengnan are the most loyal to me, can you bear to watch my Ben Han army capture and lose face?" If you still have me as a lord in your eyes, let me leave the last dignity! ”

"Ji respects the name of the lord!"

Hearing that the Han army had invaded the mansion, Feng Ji gritted his teeth and agreed, took out the flint from his sleeve and lit the futon, and with the help of sulfur and fire nitrate, the whole room was swallowed up by the sea of fire in an instant, and the raging fire rose to the sky, straight into the sky.

In the midst of the flames, Yuan Shao held a sword in his hand, silently, and let the fire scorch himself, while Feng Ji drew his sword and killed himself, splashing blood in five steps, "If there is no lord, what good is Ji Sheng?" Let me go to the Nine Springs and continue to serve the Lord! ”

The siege ended quickly, Yuan Shao and Feng Ji died in the fire, Gao Gan, Chun Yuqiong, and Lu Weihuang died in the chaos, Gao Gao and Xu Yu took the initiative to surrender, Chen Lin and the frustrated Zhuju who were locked in the prison were captured, plus the previously captured Liyi and Xinbi, Yuan Shao's army was annihilated, and since then it has completely withdrawn from the stage of dominating the world.

Li Jing withdrew the army from Pingling City, temporarily camped outside the city, and reorganized and surrendered the army. Ordered Xu Shu and Chen Deng to be on the list of Anmin, temporarily in charge of the political affairs of Jinan, and wait for Wang Meng, the assassin of Qingzhou, to send someone to serve as the Taishou, and then transfer the government affairs. At the same time, a prisoner cart was sent to escort the recently captured Lu Yi, Fu Zhu, Chen Lin, Xin Bi, as well as Guo Tu and Xin Ping, who had been captured from Yuan Tan's subordinates, to Jinling and handed over to the Son of Heaven for disposal, and asked for instructions on the next strategic goal, which princes should be targeted?
