Under Zhang He and his shocked gaze, Xu You stopped at a place about three hundred steps away from the city wall. He raised his head and met Tian Feng's gaze.
Tian Feng took a deep breath and asked: "Xu Ziyuan, why are you here?"
Xu You continued to speak: "You two might as well ask your own hearts, ever since you pledged your allegiance to Yuan Shao, have you truly obtained the trust of that fellow? Take this time to defend Gao Yi as an example. He clearly knew that Gao Yi would face off against the powerful alliance between Marquis Jin and General Zhang Yan, but Yuan Shao insisted on giving the two of them only ten thousand troops and horses. Yuan Shao was so harsh and ruthless, his defeat just around the corner! Why must the two of you accompany him in death? Furthermore … "Xu You pointed to Yan Liang's corpse and shouted," Yan Liang's thief has already been executed, and the forty thousand reinforcements that he brought along have also been completely annihilated. It's impossible for Yuan Shao to send another soldier to rescue Gao Yi! The two of you have become an isolated army, the city has become a lonely city, if you stubbornly resist to the end, you will only perish! Ji Houfuzi's heart was like a grain of water, and he was begging for good and thirsty, the two of you General Gongsun Xu was very clear of your abilities, if the two of you surrender yourself to him, you will definitely pay respect to the title of Marquis and bring glory to your family! I am speaking sincerely, and I hope that Brother Jun Yi and Brother Yuan Hao can think it over carefully. I will come again to listen to the two of you after an hour. "
After Xu You gave a long speech, he turned his horse around and left the place.
The people who were carrying Yan Liang's corpse all walked forward a few tens of steps, and especially held the corpse up for them to see, then lifted up the corpse and followed Xu You.
The soldiers on the city wall saw that it was indeed Yan Liang's body, and immediately exclaimed in surprise. Yan Liang was the number one general under Yuan Shao's command, and had even lost him, it was probably just as Xu You had said, there would be no one else coming to save Gao Yi!
Tian Feng stared fixedly at Yan Liang's body as it disappeared into the distance. After a long while, he sighed and asked softly: "Jun Yi, that was Yan Liang just now right?" In fact, how could he not know that he was not seeing things? He only asked Zhang He to alleviate the shock and hesitation in his heart.
"That's right!" Zhang He nodded his head and said: "That is indeed Yan Liang, although that fellow is arrogant and despotic, and does not place us in his eyes, but he does have some ability, and yet he is completely defeated! It can be seen how powerful the Youzhou Army is! If Yan Liang dies, then so be it, but it caused us to become a lone soldier. Sigh. "
Tian Feng's gaze moved forward, watched as Xu You swaggered into the Youzhou Army's camp, and shook his head: "At this time, maybe I can't blame Yan Liang, but it should have something to do with Xu Ziyuan! Since his master was heartless to him, he would definitely think of a way to take revenge. And the trap to lure Yan Liang's army into the Youzhou Army was the most vicious revenge for Xu Ziyuan. Therefore, this old man thinks that it is most likely Xu Ziyuan who caused Yan Liang's downfall. "
Zhang He suddenly said: "Brother Yuan Hao is right, the truth should be like that, if not Yan Liang is also a hundred battle hero, logically speaking, he would not be able to be annihilated so easily."
Tian Feng sighed: "Whether or not the truth is as it is no longer important, we do not need to investigate further. Jun Yi, how do we face this in an hour?"
Zhang He remained silent, what Xu You had just said had reached his heart, the thought of opening the city and surrendering to the Youzhou Army lingered in his mind, it was just that he and Tian Feng had become Yuan Shao's subordinates not long ago, if they changed doors, wouldn't they be ridiculed? Just think that Lv Bu was the hero of the world, and because he had changed homes time and time again, he was scolded as a servant of a family with a terrible reputation!
"We'll talk about it in an hour." Tian Feng did not pursue the matter further, and sighed once again. He walked to the city gate tower and sat down to meditate, turning a deaf ear to everything around him.
Zhang He shook his head, he did not even bring his weapon to lean on the city wall and also went to the city wall to sit down.
Inside the big tent of the Youzhou Army, Gongsun Zan was currently asking Xu You: "Mr. Zi Yuan, do Zhang He and Tian Feng intend to open the gates and surrender?"
"Yes, there is!" Xu You muttered to himself: "However, this subordinate feels that they are still hesitating. If the Master Hou or the General Zimin were to personally step in and make generous conditions, there is a high chance that these two people are still hesitating. The Nine Meetings opened the city to vote. "
Gongsun Zan turned his head and asked Zhang Yan: "Fei Yanxiong, what do you think?"
Zhang Yan nodded his head: "Zi Yuan is right, but Bo Guixiong does not need to personally step out, leave this matter to my people."
"Why?" Gongsun Zan was startled.
"A few years ago, Bo Guixiong and Han Fu had battled against each other many times. That Zhang He and Tian Feng are both part of Han Fu's old tribe, if Bo Guixiong were to personally appear, it might cause Zhang He and Tian Feng to think deeply about it.
"Mn." Gongsun Zan stroked his beard as he pondered for a moment. Then, he nodded his head and said, "Fei Yanxiong's words are reasonable.
Gongsun Xu cupped his fists and said: "Father, please be at ease, I will definitely persuade Zhang He and Tian Feng to come and vote for me. Father, what conditions do you have to give them? "
Gongsun Zan frowned, looked at Guo Jia and said: "Feng Xiao, tell me first."
Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "Xiao Xu thinks that I can agree to Zhang He's request. As for Tian Feng, he will be given the title of a county magistrate or a long history of a certain province."
Gongsun Zan was very satisfied with this suggestion, and politely asked Zhang Yan: "What does Fei Yanxiong think?"
Zhang Yan nodded his head: "Feng Xiao is right, Zhang He and Tian Feng are both rare talents, it's just that Yuan Benchu does not know how to use them."
"Since that's the case, my people, later on, when you go negotiate with Zhang He and his, just say that Zhang He's ten thousand troops and horses will still be under his command.
Gongsun Xu cupped his hands and said: "I will follow Father's orders."
Gongsun Zan nodded, then looked at Xu You and said sternly: "Mr. Zi Yuan, your other family members are still at Qing He, I hope that you can explain the situation there in detail so that I can send someone to rescue them."
"About this …" Xu You hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "This subordinate appreciates Master Hou's good intentions, but he only left a few concubines and a concubine on the other side. Furthermore, before we left, this subordinate even used words to pressure Yuan Shao. He is a genuine hypocrite, and would not harm my unimportant family members. "
Everyone who heard it could not help but shake their heads, this Xu You was too excessive!
"That being said, how can this old man stand idly by?" Gongsun Zan shook his head, and said to Gongsun Xu: "Zi Min, please get Mo Xiaoniangzi's men to take care of this matter, they are the most skilled at doing such things."
Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "Father, don't worry. Once Mo Xiaoniangzi is in Qinghe County, I will send someone to contact her later.
"Who is Mo Xiaoniangzi? Why are the Marquis and the General Zimin so confident in her? " Xu You hesitated and asked softly.
Gongsun Xu laughed but did not reply, and looked at Guan Jing.
Guan Jing laughed: "Brother Ziyuan, that Mo Xiaoniangzi is a great being of the Mo Sect, his skills are brilliant, with her personally coming out, the Brother Ziyuan's family members should be safe and sound."
"Mo Sect!" Xu You was shocked, he never thought that Gongsun Zanfuzi would actually obtain the loyalty and loyalty of the Mo Sect, and in the future, take over the world with another heavy bargaining chip! At this moment, he was even more convinced that coming over to seek refuge was the right thing to do. It was just as he had said to Zhang He and Tian Feng just now, that it wouldn't be a difficult task for him to be conferred with them in the future.
Gongsun Zan asked about Yuan Shao's situation again. Xu You told him everything he knew, and in order to show off his ability, he even made a lot of pertinent suggestions. After he finished his words, Gongsun Zanfuzi did not really know Yuan Shao like the back of his hand.
"Is it about time?" Gongsun Zan put down the teacup and looked at the sky outside.
Gongsun Xu stood up and said: "It's been almost an hour, Father, I will go outside the city to persuade them to surrender now. Mr. Zi Yuan, Feng Xiao, come at me together. "
Xu You and Guo Jia stood up in succession, and after bowing to Gongsun Zan and, they followed Gongsun Xu out of the large tent with large strides.
Gongsun Xu only brought the Gongsun Jia Brothers and carried the flag of the White Horse Camp, including Xu You and Guo Jia, a total of five people, in order to show his sincerity.
"General!" General! Someone is coming from outside the city, it seems to be Gongsun Xu himself! " The soldiers on top of the city quickly rushed into the tower to report as they saw the flag.
Zhang He suddenly stood up and quickly ran to the top of the city wall to watch.
Tian Feng was a step too slow, he also quickly stood up and ran to Zhang He's side, looking at Gongsun Xu and the others who were getting closer.
Tian Feng said softly, "It really is Gongsun Xu! He actually only brought a few people with him. Seems like he is very sincere! "
Zhang He seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Brother Yuan Hao, if Gongsun Xu's conditions are extremely good, why don't we open the city!"
Tian Feng said in a deep voice, "I also have the same idea, now that the soldiers are all panicking, I'm afraid that they won't be able to persevere any longer, and the city will probably be breached within two hours. Furthermore, Xu Ziyuan was right, since Yuan Shijun does not trust us and does not view us as our subordinates, why should we be loyal? "
While they were talking, Gongsun Xu and the other three had already reached an arrow outside the city.
Gongsun Xu reined in his horse, looked at Zhang He and shouted: "General Zhang, Mr. Tian, I am Gongsun Xu, have you two considered carefully?"
Tian Feng asked loudly: "General Gongsun, may I ask, if we were to join the army, how would the Marquis Jin and the general deal with us?"
Zhang He and the surrounding soldiers were staring intently at Gongsun Xu, afraid that he would say something that he couldn't accept.
Gongsun Xu laughed loudly: "You two can rest assured, if you join my father, General Zhang would still command the troops in the city. Furthermore, my father and I will not force the general to fight with Yuan Shao. I wonder what you two think? "
Zhang He's and Tian Feng's eyes lit up, the surrounding soldiers heaved a sigh of relief, and started to request for Zhang He to open the city and surrender.
"Let's open the city!" Tian Feng took a deep breath.
"Open the city, we will join the Marquis Jin!" Zhang He waved his arms and shouted.
Moments later, the heavy city gates slowly opened.
