Chapter 118 Fraudulent surrender

When Luo Jun entered the city, the soldiers in the city were divided into two factions. Among them, the surrender faction headed by Yuan Huan, the Gongcao Yuan Huan of Chen County and his companion Yuan Min advocated surrendering to Yuan Shu because Yuan Huan was born in the Yuan family of Chen State and came from the same source as Yuan family of Runanan. The resistance faction headed by Liang Xi of Chen County was firmly opposed to surrendering to Yuan Shu because they believed that it was Yuan Shu who sent people to assassinate King Chen. As the subordinates of King Chen, how could they deal with the thief with their own power?

Yuan Huan and others insisted that there was no evidence to prove that King Chen was killed by Yuan Shu, and perhaps someone else who assassinated King Chen.

Just when the two sides were quarreling, Luo Jun entered the city under Pei Qing's escort, immediately announced the policy of resolutely not surrender, and ordered the entire army to be on guard against Yuan Shu.

As for what Yuan Huan proposed that it was impossible to prove that Yuan Shu sent someone to assassinate King Chen, Luo Jun proposed that since Yuan Shu sent troops to Chen County as soon as King Chen was assassinated, it proved that he was the behind-the-scenes instructor, at least he was an insider.

At the same time, Luo Jun announced in public that he had invited reinforcements from Pei Qing, the governor of Yuzhou. I believe that everyone can defeat Yuan Shu with one heart and one mind.

Yuan Huan and others finally stopped mentioning surrender. In fact, although they were interested in Yuan Shu, this was a helpless move. Even Yuan Huan knew what kind of person Yuan Shu was, and his family was in Chen State. If he really defected like this, his family would definitely suffer disaster. However, he still had no confidence in Pei Qing. In his opinion, Yuan Shu had tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Although Pei Qing was good at fighting, he had only 6,000 people under his command. Even if he added 20,000 people in the city, he was still at a disadvantage compared to Yuan Shu. Besides, Chen Wangxin died and people were unstable. How easy was it to defend Chen County?

"I just watched coldly to see if you can hold on to it in the end? If you can hold on, then there is no need to say anything. I also hope that State Chen can be stable, but if I can't hold on, I will naturally have to rely on Yuan Shu, the original family."

Yuan Huan made up his mind secretly and decided to continue waiting.

Pei Qing passed by Luo Jun's mouth and of course knew that there was the role of Yuan Huan, but he was not wary of the other party. After all, the other party was just a little gongcao, and he did not have the power of military power. He was still a literati. What ability could he have to secretly communicate with Yuan Shu and cooperate with the inside and outside?

Of course, Yuan Shu didn't take Yuan Huan from the same clan seriously. In fact, with Yuan Shu's arrogance, even his brother Yuan Shao looked down on him, let alone a small Yuan Huan? He believed that with the current chaos in Chen State, as long as he was at the city, the soldiers in Chen County would surrender without fighting and open the city gate to greet him.

But Yuan Shu didn't know at all, and Pei Qing had already rushed into Chen County City in his head.

Then Yuan Shu shouted proudly to the top of the city: "I am the left general Yuan Shu. You must have heard of my name. Now I have led a hundred thousand troops to Chen State. You have few soldiers and fewer soldiers, and resistance is useless. I understand God's virtue of life, so I am willing to leave you for a lifetime. Of course, the premise is that you must surrender to me. As long as you are willing to surrender, I will not only guarantee your life, but also let you and other conservative positions. If you are more active, I will also give them rewards. At that time, you will be promoted and enjoy generous rewards. Why not do it?"

At this time, a person on the top of the city shouted: "General Zuo has invited him. The lower-ranking official is Yuan Huan, whose courtesy name is Yaoqing, and his father Yuan Pang. He is unfilial and is a hero of Chen County. He has long heard of the name of the Left General, and it is well-known for thunder. Today, I, Chen State, have no master, and the Left General came at the right time. Huan has already prepared ox wine to wait for the Left General. He also asked the Left General and the soldiers to enter the city to rest. Huan and the soldiers should welcome the Left General and show their feelings."

After hearing this, Yuan Shu said happily: "Shu Su heard that the Yuan family of Chen State is my own clan and comes from the same source. It is a blessing to see him today. Since Yaoqing is so sincerely invited him, Shu naturally refuses him. Haha, I will keep Yaoqing's achievements in mind today. After pacifying Pei Puppet in the future, I will definitely ask for merit from the court."

Yuan Shu was very happy. Seeing that the city gate was wide open, the suspension bridge was lowered, and rushed to the front and led his troops to enter the city.

At this time, Yuan Shu's adviser Yan Xiang said, "Lord, the opponent's army is stern, and there is no panic in the voice of the caller. It does not look like he is truly surrendering. There must be a deception. The lord should not enter the city easily to avoid being tricked by the enemy."

Yuan Shu laughed and said, "He is a member of my tribe. He has long been looking forward to my entry into the city. Naturally, he will not panic after seeing me. As for the strict military appearance on the top of the city, it must be because my tribe has successfully collected these soldiers under his command. Why should Master Yan be suspicious?"

However, Yan Xiang said solemnly: "The son of a thousand gold is not sitting in the hukou hall. Even if the other party truly surrenders, the lord does not have to charge forward in person. If there is any change, it is too late to hide. What's more, the lord sends a large army into the city, and the lord slowly leaves behind, which makes him look even more majestic and undesirable."

"This makes some sense," Yuan Shu said to himself, and then ordered the generals Chen Lan and Lei Bo to lead 5,000 troops into the city first to create a relatively large show, so that when he enters the city, he will naturally cause a powerful shock to the other party.

Chen Lan and Lei Bo naturally obeyed the order when they heard this. They did not believe that anyone else in Chen State was so unhappy after Liu Chong died, and dared to make any abnormal movements at this time, so they led their troops into the city with great courage, one on the left and one on the right.

However, what is unexpected is that just when their army had just entered the city with five or six thousand people, they suddenly heard a deafening sound of snare drums coming from the city, and then countless crossbow arrows flew towards them.

Because the city gate was open and there was no place to hide, Chen Lan and Lei Bo's soldiers were injured and killed many times in the rain of arrows, and screams were heard. Many soldiers fell in pools of blood, their eyes wide open, and they could not believe that they died here until they died.

Chen Lan and Lei Bo reacted first when they heard the drums. Although they were in the front row, they quickly grabbed a soldier and blocked them at critical moments, and then retreated hard, and shouted loudly: "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, you have been tricked by the dog thief, and there is an ambush in the city."

In fact, there were many soldiers outside the city who entered the city one after another, but they did not expect that their robes were massacred in the city. So both sides were blocked in the cave of the city gate, unable to enter or exit. The Yuan army soldiers who had not yet had time to enter the cave of the city gate became the targets of each other and fell down screaming.

When the Yuan army soldiers outside the city reacted and hurriedly retreated, more than half of the soldiers under Chen Lan and Lei Bo who entered the city had suffered casualties. In just one meal, two or three thousand people were killed and killed. This was definitely the fastest battle with Yuan Shu since the battle.

At this time, a general on the top of the city shouted loudly: "Do you know me, Pei Qing, a fierce ghost on the road? You used despicable means to assassinate King Chen, but you dared to lead your army to invade the State of Chen. This is really abominable. This time I will give you a small lesson. If you come again next time, you will definitely take the head of your neck to sacrifice to King Chen!"

Yuan Shu didn't expect that Pei Qing had arrived early. He immediately understood what was going on and cursed at the top of the city: "Pei Qing, don't be proud. This time I was not defeated by you, but I trusted Yuan Huan!"

Then Yuan Shu cursed at the top of the city, "Yuan Huan, I really didn't expect you to lie to me. Although we are of the same clan, don't let me catch you, otherwise if one day you fall into my hands, you will definitely remove you from a huge amount of pieces, get cramps and bones to vent my hatred!"
