Xu Huang's regiment captured Yangdi County, and Wei Yan led 10,000 cavalry to attack Yingchuan City non-stop.

Yingchuan City is not controlled by the Yuan family.

When the Yingchuan garrison soldiers saw the Xiakou Army cavalry approaching, they ordered the city gates to be closed. There were only 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city.

The 10,000 cavalrymen were just the vanguard of Xu Huang's regiment, with a large force following behind.

"Go to the city gate and call a soldier to tell them not to follow Yuan Shu. If you are interested, give up resistance."

When we open the city gate, we will not harm the people, nor will we harm the officials. Otherwise, once the city is destroyed, we will be held accountable."

Wei Yandao.

A cavalryman held a white flag, patted his horse and walked to the front of the city gate.

"Officials and soldiers in the city, listen up. We, General Wei, are telling us to put down our weapons and surrender. Our Xiakou Army is an army of benevolence and righteousness.

We are specially here to take care of Yuan Shu's second or fifth son. He will not harass the people or harm the officials. If you are an official under Yuan Shu, we will release you and let you return to Yuan Shu.

If you resist tenaciously, the consequences will be serious. Once the city is defeated, you will be tried as war criminals, so please think twice."

Xiakou Bing shouted loudly.

The guards on the city wall looked at each other and started talking in low voices.

"Xiakou soldiers, I can't make a decision because of my humble position. I need to report it to the prefect for a decision. Please wait a moment. I'll go to ask for instructions right away."

A military commander said.

"Okay! You go and ask for instructions! We will give you a moment to think about it. If you don't open the city gate and surrender by then, you will know the consequences."

Xiakou Bingdao.

The army commander on the city wall ran down the city wall and ran towards the prefect's mansion.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Master, Tang Sima wants to see you!"

The housekeeper said.

"Please come in!"

Taishou Chen said.

"I have met Mr. Chen Taishou."

Tang Sima Dao.

"What's up?"

Taishou Chen said.

"Sir, the Xiakou army has reached the city gate. Let us quickly open the city gate and surrender. Whether we want to resist tenaciously or give up the resistance, please let the governor decide."

Tang Sima Dao.

oh!

It came so quickly!

"We only have five thousand soldiers and horses in the city. How can we withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Xiakou Army soldiers? Open the city gate and surrender!"

Taishou Chen said.

ah!

Tang Sima exclaimed.

"Don't make a fuss, Yuan Shu can't become a person, he just occupies the title of the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family.

These are troubled times, and following Yuan Shu will not bring good results. A few days ago, Xun Yu and Chen Ji both sent me letters,

Let us not resist. If you don’t listen to Xun Wenruo, then Chen Ji Daru’s words will be wrong. At present,

Whether it is the Chen family, the Xun family, or your Tang family, many people have moved to Xiakou City to settle down. From the letters written by Chen Daru and Xun Wenruo,

Xiakou Qinqi is an official who loves the people as much as his son. In his heart, he only has the country, the Central Plains nation, and a generation of heroes for the people of the world."

Taishou Chen said.

The prefect was a disciple of the Chen family in Yingchuan, and the army commander was a disciple of the Tang family. Neither of them were from Yuan Shu's line.

Tang Sima nodded solemnly.

The Tang family is the Tang family, the wife of the young emperor Liu Bian. The Tang family now lives in Xiakou City. Li Ru sent people to Xiakou.

"As you command!"

Tang Sima Dao.

"Let's go! I will leave the city with you and surrender to the Xiakou Army."

Taishou Chen said.

The two men walked to the city gate and ordered the gate to be opened.

The defenders on the city wall cheered and cheered, and the stone that was weighing on their hearts suddenly fell down, and they were in an extremely good mood.

A few days later, Xu Huang led the infantry division to Yingchuan City.

With the support of the prefect and Army Sima, other counties in Yingchuan County surrendered to the Xiakou Army one after another, and took office along with the military and civil servants.

The original civil servants needed to go to Xiakou Academy for training. This was a rule that must be strictly implemented and no one was exempted from it.

…

Gepo City Lord's Mansion:

Yuan Shu and his ministers and generals gathered together. The 200,000 soldiers of Yuan Shu faced off against the 90,000 soldiers of Xiakou Army under Xi Zhong for a long time.

It's not that he's not playing the role, he's just waiting for the opportunity.

The purpose of this battle was to drive Yuan Shu away, not to kill him with a stick.

Directly annihilating Yuan Shu would not be in the interests of the Xiakou army. Yuan Shu must be allowed to go to Yanzhou to contain Lao Cao's development.

Qin Qi won Yuzhou and needed time to digest the territory.

"Lord, I just received news that Xu Huang's regiment has captured Yingchuan County, and the entire Yingchuan area has completely surrendered to the Xiakou Army."

Yang Hongdao.

Yuan Shu frowned slightly.

I was extremely angry.

Originally they wanted to seize Xiakou Qin Qi's territory, but now not only have they failed to defeat the Xiakou army, they have also lost a lot of territory.

Furious!

The people sitting here are all people with extremely high IQs. They understand the consequences of losing Yingchuan. Once Xu Huang's troops return to attack Runan.

There are not many soldiers and horses in Runan City, only 20,000 people. How can they resist Xu Huang's army?

If Xu Huang's troops were allowed to capture Runan, Yuan Shu would be completely lost. What would he do with his 200,000 troops?

"Lord, we can no longer confront the Xi Zhong Corps. We must find a way to escape. Otherwise, the situation will be very troublesome."

Yuan Huan said.

"The problem is how we withdraw from the confrontation. Once we retreat, the Xi Zhong Corps will take advantage of the situation and press forward, and our losses will be even greater."

Yuan Yin said.

"Why doesn't that old guy Tao Qian send troops to contain him? What is he waiting for? Does he want to see me defeated?"

Yuan Shudao.

"My lord, Tao Qian's 100,000-strong army lost 80,000, and only escaped with less than 20,000. In the entire Pengcheng,

There are only 50,000 soldiers and horses, and adding the 20,000 who escaped from defeat, the number is about 70,000. At this time, we are recruiting troops.

They just want to defend Pengcheng. In addition, Huaiyin has tens of thousands of troops from Xiakou, so they can send troops to attack Pengcheng at any time.

Don't expect Tao Qian to be able to contain the Xiakou army. Now Tao Qian is also a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, and he cannot protect himself."

Yang Hongdao.

"Where is Liu Yan of Yizhou? He sent troops to attack the four counties of Jingnan. How is the situation?"

Yuan Shudao.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Come in!"

Yuan Shudao.

"Reported that Liu Yan of Yizhou sent general Wu Yi with 50,000 Yizhou soldiers out of Ba County, hoping to sneak attack Jing to attack the four counties.

However, Wu Yi's regiment was blocked by Xun You's regiment in Xiakou on the way, and Wu Yi's regiment was completely wiped out. Now Xun You's regiment has captured Bajun City.

The gate of Yizhou is completely open, and the Xiakou Army can send troops to attack Yizhou City at any time. In addition, the Hanzhong area has been captured by the Kuaiyue Corps, and Liu Yan suffered heavy losses."
