Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 837 The Fall of Ye City
Xu You concentrated nearly [-] troops to guard the inner city of Yecheng. With only the [-] Jingnan battalion soldiers brought by Wei Yan and the [-] or [-] soldiers gathered by Han Meng, Yuan Jun really couldn't attack this inner city for a while. of the city.

However, Wei Yan would not give up easily, so he took advantage of Han Meng's familiarity with Yecheng to seize several government offices, prisons, and the private residences of many of Yuan Shao's civil servants and generals in Yecheng in the first place, almost killing Yuan Shao's subordinates. The family members of the courtiers took control.

This also includes Xu You's house. Wei Yan is not a good man and a believer. After he captured Xu You's family, he took him directly to the inner city to force Xu You to surrender.

At this time, Zhang Yan also rushed over with the Black Mountain Army, so Zhu Weijun, with a combined strength of [-] to [-] troops, surrounded the inner city of Yecheng, making Xu You, who was in control of the overall situation in Yecheng, break out in cold sweat .

Yuan Shao, who could have influenced the situation at this time, fainted after being frightened, so everything can only be decided by Xu You again.

However, Xu You's family was arrested by Wei Yan again. Looking at Zhu Weijun, who was surrounded by an unknown number of people, and his family members who were suffering from relatives and relatives outside the main gate of the inner city, Xu You quickly sent someone out to contact them. It's a matter of surrender.

The current situation is actually very obvious. The Zhu Wei army who attacked Yecheng this time has a lot of troops, and although Xu You still has nearly [-] troops, the outer city has been lost, so he can only defend the inner city, so how can he persist? How long.

At that time, as long as Zhu Weijun besieges the inner city with rockets, even if not many people can be burned to death, as long as the granary is burned down, so many of them can last for a few days.

Xu You may not be so capable in other aspects, but he still has a vision in understanding current affairs, so Wei Yan used his family members to threaten him, which also gave him a way to get down.

Of course, Xu You's surrender was also very methodical. As a literati, he naturally wouldn't just say surrender and lead others to surrender.

He first tested the opinions of ordinary Yuan Junzhong officers at all levels, and then deliberately talked about many defensive problems in order to reduce the resistance of these Yuan Jun officers.

After confirming some of Yuan Jun's intentions, he used these Yuan Jun to control Yuan Shao's three thousand guards who were originally stationed in the inner city. They may not support it.

In this way, after Xu You really controlled all the Yuan troops in the inner city, he formally surrendered to Zhu Weijun outside the city. In this way, it only took Wei Yan and Zhang Yan three days to completely capture Yecheng.

As for Yuan Shao seeing Xu You leading Zhu Weijun into his inner room on the sickbed, he knew that he had been betrayed by Xu You, but in the end he spat out a mouthful of blood again, and died of anger.

Of course, Yuan Shao's life and death are not that important at this time. After all, Yuan Shang has already taken over the power of the Yuan family, but what happened in Yecheng finally caused Yuan Shangjun on Liyang's side to get into big trouble.

In Yecheng, besides Yuan Shang's father, Yuan Shao, there are also the family members of Yuan Shang's civil and military officials, and even the family members of Fengji and Shenpei are also in the mansion of Yecheng.

Therefore, when Yuan Shang received the request for help from Yecheng, he didn't dare to let the news spread, but secretly discussed countermeasures with Fengji and the examiner.

Naturally, Yecheng had to be rescued, so Yuan Shang immediately planned to send [-] troops to assist Luoyang, and return to Yecheng for help in the name of dividing troops to attack Luoyang and defuse Zhu Weijun's offensive.

Then on the frontal battlefield, Yuan Shang also staged a big counterattack, hoping to attract Zhu Weijun's attention, so that the judge could successfully lead the troops back to aid.

It's a pity that through the Three Kingdoms game system, Zhu Wei can immediately know the battle situation in Yecheng and the movements of Yuan Shang's army.

Naturally, he would not be deceived by Yuan Shangjun's actions. Therefore, on the frontal battlefield where Yuan Shangjun took the initiative to counterattack, Zhu Weijun also fought back fiercely. As a result, Yuan Shangjun's counterattack was another big defeat.

As for the little tricks on the side of trial and distribution, they were quickly blocked by Pang Yan's Xiongba camp. Pang Yan's Xiongba camp took advantage of the situation to counterattack Dangyin County, and then set up a camp based on Dangyin County, completely cutting off the distance between Liyang and Yecheng. way between.

Shenpei led the troops to charge several times, but in the end he couldn't break through the blockade of Pang Yanxiongba's battalion, so he had no choice but to retreat back to Liyang.

In this way, three days passed quickly. Zhu Wei knew through the game system of the Three Kingdoms that Yecheng had been won, so he ordered his soldiers to launch a rumor offensive against Yuan Shangjun in Liyang. The matter of Yecheng was publicized loudly to Yuan Jun.

"Yuan Jun listened, the city of Ye has been destroyed, and your family is in the hands of our army. If you can realize it, you can do whatever you want on the spot, and the king of Ming can forgive your crimes, otherwise your nine clans will all be destroyed! "

"Yuan Jun listened, the city of Ye has been destroyed, and Yuan Shao's first traitor has been put to death. You are a good citizen, and you don't need to follow Yuan's traitors to do evil. If you turn around as soon as possible, you will be exonerated!"

"Yuan Jun listened, the city of Ye was broken,..."

With Zhu Weijun's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses shouting in unison, it was like being besieged on all sides, which made Yuan Jun panic. Although Yuan Shang kept saying that Zhu Weijun was a nonsense lie, Yuan Shang knew in his heart that it was probably true.

Now Zhu Wei may only be talking verbally, without any evidence, but if any evidence is sent from Yecheng, then the morale of Yuan Shangjun's army will collapse immediately.

In desperation, Yuan Shang also knew that Li Yang could no longer hold on, so Yuan Shang summoned Fengji, Shenpei and some middle and senior generals, and frankly informed them about Yecheng, and then rectified these civil and military officials internally. genus of thought.

Then Yuan Shang was ready to withdraw his troops, but now Yecheng could no longer go back. Under the advice of Feng Ji, Shen Pei and others, Yuan Shang could only withdraw directly to the north, and finally to Youzhou. Yuan Tan.

Fighting tigers are brothers. They are blood brothers after all. Now they also need to unite with the outside world.

Although Yuan Tan was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shang's succession to Yuan Shao's succession, but Youzhou was originally Yuan Xi's territory after all, and Yuan Tan only lived in Youzhou as a guest.

Now as long as Yuan Shang can still withdraw with a large number of troops, he should be able to suppress Yuan Tan, thus persuading Yuan Xi to support Yuan Shang as the new Patriarch of the Yuan family.

Of course, if Li Yang, located at the southern end of Yizhou, wants to withdraw from Youzhou, he must traverse the entire hinterland of Yizhou, so how to retreat safely and how to get rid of Zhu Weijun's pursuit is also a big problem.

Under the advice of Feng Ji and Shen Pei, Yuan Shang first reorganized his army. For example, the soldiers who were originally from Wei County will basically be left behind in Liyang Duan. At the same time, Yuan Shang also left several generals from Wei County. He Mao, Wang Mo, Jiang Yiqu and others also continued to garrison Liyang to cover Yuan Shang's withdrawal.

Yuan Shang is going to play a trick to escape the shell.

However, he also allowed the generals staying in Liyang to surrender after holding on for a while. After all, their families are in Wei County. Now that Zhu Weijun has captured Yecheng, their families are basically under Zhu Weijun's control area. .

Even if they retreated with Yuan Shang, they would still be restrained by the family, so Yuan Shang pretended to be a good person and let them stay, only asking them to delay Zhu Weijun for a few days before surrendering...
