Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

In the middle of April, the third year of Jian'an.

In April in this world, beauty is gone.

The weather is beginning to slowly transition towards the heat.

But overall the climate is quite suitable, and in a month or two it will be the summer harvest season, so it should be pleasant.

But Shen Pei, who stayed behind in Yecheng, was not happy.

Looking at the mighty army and horses coming from the north of Yecheng, his expression was a little solemn!

That army was the coalition of Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army!

Originally, when Gongsun Zan left Yijing, he had 60,000 to 70,000 troops. Adding Zhang Yan's 100,000 troops, the number was nearly 200,000.

As they went south, they recruited some strong men and thieves, adding tens of thousands of troops.

So at this moment, Gongsun Zan's coalition forces outside Yecheng numbered nearly 300,000!

The alliance is vast and boundless!

"What is Gongsundu doing!

Didn't we make an agreement at the beginning that he would send troops from Liaodong to contain Yan Rou and Gongsun Zan, so that I in Hebei would have no worries and concentrate on dealing with Cao Ang?

Why did Gongsun Zan come out in full force?"

Shen Pei clenched his fists and said with an ashen face.

He really couldn't figure out how Gongsun Du could make such a mistake!

As everyone knows, Gongsun Du was also helpless.

He originally wanted to send troops south to contain Yan Rou and Gongsun Zan, and even wanted to Taking the opportunity to annihilate these two families, he expanded his power directly to the border of Jizhou and took over the territory of Youzhou.

However, Yan Rou did not know when she changed her gender and stopped entangled with Gongsun Zan. She entered the Liaoxi Corridor with all her strength and captured Gongsun Du The road from Liaodong to Youzhou was blocked.

Moreover, Yan Rou set up a camp to defend the pass. Even though Gongsun Du had many times more soldiers and horses than Yan Rou, he could not break through Yan Rou's defense line for a while.

This made Gongsun Zan unstoppable. Coupled with the cooperation between Zhang Yan and Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan became trembling again. He marched southward with great momentum, recruiting cities and old tribes along the way.

In addition, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan sent out cavalry to rob and kill those Yuan who wanted to inform Yuan. He was a die-hard loyalist, so Shen Pei never heard anything about it while he was in Yecheng. It wasn't until Gongsun Zan came to the city with his troops that he finally realized something was wrong!

"Marquis of Yi, if you are not stationed in Yi Jing, why did you come to Yecheng?"

Although Shen Pei secretly cursed Gongsun Zan for his resurgence, seeing Gongsun Zan's menacing approach, he still decided to be courteous first and then fight. He called Gongsun Zan's title of Marquis Yi. He tried to persuade Gongsun Zan to put aside his old feud with the Yuan family and jointly deal with the enemy Cao Ang.

Outside the city, Gongsun Zan was riding on a divine white horse, holding a whip in his hand and pointing at Shenpei at the top of the city:"Shenpei, don't you know what I am doing in Yecheng?

Back then, your lord Yuan Shao raised troops to seize my territory and took all the four states into his pocket, but forced me to stay in Yi Jing to survive.

I'm afraid that when your lord first took charge of the four states, he never thought that today would happen!

Is it possible for me, Gongsun Zan, to have a prosperous future?"

Speaking of this, Gongsun Zan proudly puffed up his chest, looking proud that he would not deceive the poor young man:"Now that the incompetent Yuan Shao is dead, the Yuan family's disciples are like pigs and dogs.

If Jizhou fell into their hands, it would be impossible to hold it.

Only by leaving it in my hands can the four states be saved.

Judge, if you recognize me, you can open the city gate and welcome me into the city as the lord of Jizhou.

I can let go of your previous defiance of Yuan Shao!"

Gongsun Zan's words and expressions seemed to Shenpei to be a villain.

It made Shenpei's face look a little ugly.

Now on the Liyang front line, brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan led Hebei's main force of 300,000 to defend Cao Ang.

There are only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yecheng and its surroundings, and most of the defeated troops are old and weak.

But Gongsun Zan came with nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, which is huge!

Yecheng is really dangerous!

Especially, the Yuan family has Last year's war suffered a defeat, and people's hearts were unstable.

Cao Ang led his army to attack, which made many people in Jizhou waver.

At this time, Gongsun Zan suddenly killed again, which will cause people's panic!

Under such internal and external troubles, even if Ye There are 100,000 defenders in the city, and there is no guarantee that no one will have a different intention!

Therefore, the best way is to persuade Gongsun Zan and the Yuan family to temporarily unite and give up attacking Yecheng.

It is best to borrow Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan With his own power, he helped the Yuan brothers defeat Cao Ang...

After thinking for a moment, Shen Pei shouted to Gongsun Zan:"Marquis Yi! You have lived in Yijing for a long time, don’t you know that the situation in the world has changed!

Cao Ang, son of Cao Cao, launched a large-scale war last year and used deceitful tactics to defeat Lu Bu and Yuan Shu one after another, and captured Sun Ce and Liu Biao!

My lord Yuan Shao was also defeated by Cao Ang and died of anger in front of the battle!

Now Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son control the court.

Cao Cao was the prime minister and controlled the government inside, while Cao Ang was the general and raised troops from all directions!

Now Cao Ang is leading an army to invade, but my new lord of Hebei and the eldest son, Yuan Tan, lead their troops to reject Liyang!"

"Marquis Yi, do you know the reason why your lips are dead and your teeth are cold?

Even if my lord, the Yuan family, once had a dispute with the Marquis of Yi.

But now Yi Hou is very prosperous and has recovered the land of Youzhou.

At this time, if Marquis Yi attacks Yecheng again, after attacking my lord, it will strengthen Cao Ang's momentum!"

"Cao Ang uses his troops cunningly and will never miss an opportunity.

The fight between your two families at this time will only allow Cao Ang to take advantage of the opportunity to cross the river and enter Hebei!

By then, I'm afraid it will be difficult for any of you or my family to compete with Cao Ang.

As a result, all four states in Hebei fell into the hands of the Cao family and his son. Please think again, Hou Yi!"

Shen Pei's words were quite pertinent, and he tried to persuade Gongsun Zan to stop his troops and join forces from the perspective of interests.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan sneered at Shen Pei's words:" Shen Pei! You are such a gossip, don’t try to deceive me!

There is a huge hatred between you and the Yuan family. Yuan Shao almost forced me to death. How can I say that my lips are dead and my teeth are cold?

I came here today to capture Yecheng and take control of Jizhou.

If you are wise, you can quickly open the city and surrender. Not only will you save your life, but you will also achieve great success."

"If I were the lord of Jizhou, I could pacify the Yuan brothers overnight and capture all their troops.

With my military ability, Gongsun Zan, if I could lead the troops of the four states of Hebei to deal with Cao Ang, wouldn't it be better than the incompetent Yuan brothers?"

Gongsun Zan's words left Shenpei speechless for a moment.

Because Shenpei knew that Gongsun Zan's words still made some sense. If you really want to choose between the Yuan brothers and Gongsun Zan, who can fight, Gongsun Zan is the first choice.

No matter what you say , This was also the white horse general who defeated the Yellow Turbans, defeated Wuhuan in succession, and once conquered the Northern Kingdom undefeated...

However, even so, it was impossible for Shen Pei to really betray the Yuan family and welcome Gongsun Zan into Ye City.

Seeing that he could not persuade Gongsun Zan , Shen Pei also gritted his teeth:"Since Yi Hou insists on this, then I will wait here for Yi Hou to attack the city!"

With that said, Shen Pei ordered the archers to prepare, released a row of arrows outside the city, and measured the range. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"snort! If you don’t surrender now, when the city is destroyed, I will kill you first!"

Gongsun Zan snorted coldly, looked at Shenpei with resentful eyes, and then ordered the siege.

In an instant, all the siege equipment such as ladders, chariots and so on that had been prepared were pushed up.

Gongsun Zan looked at the troops behind him , those young men and thieves who have been brought in recently, let these people go first and be used as cannon fodder to consume the defensive strength of the defenders. Where

Yecheng is located, the sound of fighting suddenly breaks out.

Between the two sides, arrows are raining down, you come and I Go.

The cannon fodder attacking the city and the Yuan army defending the city all fought for their lives, which was quite brutal.

Although Gongsun Zan had character flaws, his troops were still very strong.

He used cannon fodder to consume a wave of Yecheng defenders. After that, he hid a group of elite soldiers in the cannon fodder as a first step.

In a short time, a hole was torn open in the city wall.

"Hahaha, good!

Follow-up soldiers and horses, all press forward!"

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed when he saw that Xiandeng had occupied a city. He hurriedly ordered.

It was as if he had seen himself become the overlord of Hebei after taking Yecheng! He was even imagining that the Yuan brothers learned that there was a fire in the backyard and were killed by him. After taking it away, what a panic and despair! []

If that guy Yuan Shao knew something secretly, would he be so angry that he would come alive!

Yes, because the hatred with Yuan Shao was too deep, Gongsun Zan had a deep revenge mentality.

Let Gongsun Zan will be happy if Yuan Shao's sons suffer losses!

It is no longer possible for him to seek revenge on Yuan Shao, so he will put all the frustration he has suffered on Yuan Shao's sons!

"kill! withstand!

Whoever dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

Shen Pei was also a bit bloody. Seeing that a section of the city wall was lost, he himself wore armor and held a sharp sword to command the elite defenders to fight back.

Under Shen Pei's insistent defense, Gongsun Zan took the lead and most of the elite troops were surrounded and annihilated. The rest of the people were driven down from the top of the city.

Many were forced to jump from the ladder or the top of the city.

"Someone come! Keep adding troops!

We must capture Yecheng today!"

Seeing that his hope had failed, Gongsun Zan's face suddenly darkened, and he waved his hand and ordered.

"No, my lord!"

However, at this time, next to Gongsun Zan, Tian Kai suddenly spoke to dissuade him.

Tian Kai was Gongsun Zan's confidant. When most of the four states in Hebei were owned by Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan used Tian Kai as his Qingzhou governor to take charge of Qingzhou..

At first, Liu Bei served under Tian Kai and was the prime minister of Qingzhou Plain County.

Later, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou Tao Qian. Tian Kai, as the governor of Qingzhou, led Liu Bei to help Tao Qian. After blocking Cao Cao, he left Liu Bei in Tao Qian's army. His subordinates serve as foreign aid for himself and Gongsun Zan.

From this move alone, Tian Kai's talent can be seen!

He saw that Tao Qian valued Liu Bei and wanted to entrust Xuzhou to him, so he kept Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei took Xuzhou, he Tian Kai and Gongsun Zan, their two old employers and superiors, will definitely get close.

By then, Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai will lead the four states of Hebei and join Xuzhou and Liu Bei, and they will be the most powerful in the world!

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Lu Bu are definitely not Opponent!

It's a pity that although Tian Kai planned for Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan committed suicide and killed Liu Yu in spite of the injustice of the world. This directly aroused the anger of the people of Youzhou!

They all betrayed Gongsun Zan and followed Liu Yu. Liu He, the son of Yu, joined forces with Yuan Shao to attack Gongsun Zan...

From that time on, Gongsun Zan was seriously injured due to betrayal and separation from his relatives. He suffered successive defeats and went downhill.

Tian Kai's lone army was unable to defend Qingzhou, so he withdrew to where Gongsun Zan was. Yi Jing.

It can be said that Tian Kai is a loyal and wise minister under Gongsun Zan!

At this moment, he even tried to dissuade Gongsun Zan from continuing to increase his troops to attack the city, because Tian Kai had already noticed that something was wrong:"Lord!

Although the lord's troops have been making great progress since they left Yijing, the core strength of our army is only the tens of thousands of elites left by the lord from the beginning.

If the elite are lost to Ye City, even if Ye City is finally captured, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Although Shen Pei is loyal to Yuan, one thing is right.

Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son are the great enemies of the princes!

Even if the Lord does not unite with the Yuan family, he should preserve his strength as much as possible and plan for it slowly. He must not suffer both losses with the Yuan family under Yecheng!"

Tian Kai's idea is actually right, but Gongsun Zan has wasted these few years, and his desire for revenge can't wait any longer.

If he hadn't been a violent person, he wouldn't have killed Liu Yu, a man who was famous all over the world. An important minister of the clan.

It can be said that when it comes to crazy criticism, Gongsun Zan is a match for Yuan Shu.……

"What a pedantic view!

I have an undying feud with the Yuan family, how can I pursue it slowly!

The power of the four states in Hebei should be decided by one person before they can gather their strength.

Just like the Yuan brothers, although they are members of the same family, weren't they still fighting in a mess in order to compete for position?

I took Yecheng quickly just to concentrate my strength as soon as possible to deal with Cao Ang!"

Gongsun Zan decisively rejected Tian Kai's suggestion, and immediately ordered more troops to attack the city and quickly capture Ye City.

Under Gongsun Zan's fierce attack, Shenpei could no longer hold on.

In desperation, he had to send people Asked for help from the Yuan brothers on the Liyang front line.

At this time, the Yuan brothers were shocked to find that their escape route had been copied by Gongsun Zan...

They immediately became so angry that they continued to curse Gongsun Zan on the Liyang front line.

Even if this If there was a definition of hyena in the era, they would probably scold Gongsun Zan as a hyena who likes to sneak up on people's retreat...Mountain...
