Originally, Yuan Xi had no intention of surrendering so early. After all, he still had nearly 30,000 people under his command. It was still possible to break out of the siege if he tried his best.

But what can he do if he can rush out? He has already seen a very familiar figure outside the crowd surrounding him.

Yes, Yuan Xi has recognized Lu Bu. After all, Lu Bu worked for Yuan Shao before he went to Xuzhou to work hard.

Yuan Xi naturally knows Lu Bu, and he also understands that it is impossible for him to talk out with Lu Bu.

Facing Yuan Xi's surrender, Lu Bu was too embarrassed to kill him. After all, he knew Yuan Xi.

When he thought of Yuan Xi chasing after him and Wen Houchang and Wenhou short shouting, he couldn't do anything to kill him.

Well, yes, Yuan Xi was Lu Bu's little fan before. Because he knew that it would be unrealistic for him to compete with his eldest brother Yuan Tan and his third brother Yuan Shang to become Yuan Shao's heir, so he had a wide range of interests.

Among them were various heroes of the time, including Lu Bu.

Therefore, Lu Bu graciously accepted Yuan Xi's surrender, but he was not stupid enough to believe Yuan Xi unconditionally.

After he handed Yuan Xi under the strict supervision of his soldiers, he went to deal with the remaining prisoners.

This time, Yuan Xi brought out 30,000 people, but Lu Bu wiped out almost 10,000 people in an hour.

At this time, Yuan Xi still had about 20,000 troops left, which put Lu Bu in a bit of trouble.

You said he should be killed. Lu Bu felt it was a pity. After all, there were more than 20,000 people, and they were all young and strong.

It would be a pity to kill all these people, but it would be more difficult to keep them. After all, I would still have to attack Yecheng later.

Take 20,000 people to attack the city. Maybe before you can break into Yecheng, your rear will be in chaos.

Lu Bu hesitated, but finally decided to take these people with him. After all, these people could not be let go.

If we let them go, they might run to Yuan Shao.

Therefore, Lu Bu had to take these prisoners with him and at the same time dedicate 5,000 people to guard them.

But there is good news, that is, Yuan Xi is relatively honest, although he is unwilling to follow Lu Bu to attack Yecheng.

However, under the condition that Lu Bu and Boss Cao jointly ensured that Yuan Shao and his two brothers would not die, they were willing to lend their armor.

Don't think that Yuan Xi would not do this. If you think about the history, some of the three brothers of the Yuan family took refuge in Boss Cao after Yuan Shao's death. You can see that the relationship between Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao is very weak.

In fact, it's understandable. The main reason is that Yuan Shao didn't like Yuan Xi. And Yuan Xi has always been a marginal figure.

Therefore, the relationship between Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao is also weak. If he can stick to the bottom line and not help Lu Bu beat Yuan Shao when his life is in danger, it is already very good.

After Lu Bu obtained Yuan Xi's armor, he did not dare to delay and led his army directly towards Yecheng.

When they arrived near Yecheng in the early morning, the city gate had not yet been opened and it was not yet dawn.

The defenders on Ye City were so confused that they were taking a nap in the lake.

Lu Bu thought this was a good opportunity, so he immediately asked a soldier who was similar in stature to Yuan Xi to put on Yuan Xi's armor, and with several hundred fine cavalry, he pretended to be a retreating Yecheng defender and went to call the door.

I don’t know whether it was because the soldier was pretending to be too similar, or because the soldiers in Yecheng were lost in sleep, so they did not investigate closely.

Just after hearing that Yuan Xi was back, I simply checked Yuan Xi's token and opened the city gate.

The wolf cavalry who went to call the gate immediately cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge and occupied the city gate.

When Lu Bu saw that his elite cavalry had successfully captured the city gate, he took the lead and rushed out with his men.

The captain who was responsible for guarding the city did not realize that something was wrong until this moment. He immediately organized people to take back control of the city gate.

But how could Lu Bu let out the city gate that he had finally deceived?

If he gave up the city gate, he would have no choice but to attack by force, which would cause too many casualties.

Otherwise, he would rely on his personal force to break down the city gate.

But in this case, it would be equivalent to returning everything to the original point, and then his work would be in vain.

So Lu Bu clamped the belly of Red Rabbit's horse, and the Red Rabbit horse, which was connected to him spiritually, immediately accelerated, threw away the other wolf riders, and rushed towards the city gate.

The elite riders behind him could only see an afterimage of Lu Bu running out.

Lu Bu rushed to the city gate and saw the captain of the Yecheng garrison who was commanding from behind. With the four hooves of the red rabbit horse under his crotch, he pushed Lu Bu directly over the crowd and jumped to the rear of the garrison.

"Suffer death!" Lu Bu roared, swung Fang Tian's painted halberd and threw it at the captain.

As for the captain, he only saw a red afterimage rushing towards him. Before he could raise his weapon to block, he was struck to the ground by Lu Bu's halberd and died.

The defenders of Yecheng who were besieging the city gate saw their captain being killed by the enemy general with one move. They were not stupid either.

One by one, they turned around and ran towards the city.

They all knew very well how the enemy deceived the city gate into opening. Wasn't it just using Yuan Xi's waist card to deceive the city gate into opening?

What does this mean? It means that the commander of Ye City, Yuan Xi, has been captured.

Now that the main generals are gone, why do they still fight? How much will they pay? Are they risking their lives so much?

Besides, although Yuan Shao has been operating in Jizhou for many years, Dahan has been operating in Jizhou for longer.

If there were people from the Yuan family watching here, or someone taking the lead in resisting, they wouldn't be defeated so easily.

But at this time, the one still on duty at the city gate was the captain who had just been beaten to death by Lu Bu.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no Yuan Jun generals in Ye City, but it is impossible for them to stay at the city gate stupidly all night after Yuan Xi led his people to leave.

Therefore, once the captain in charge of the city gate was beaten to death by Lu Bu, the morale of the soldiers defending the city gate instantly dropped to freezing point.

In addition, looking at the large number of cavalry approaching outside the city, they knew with their toes that there was absolutely no way they could close the city gate before the enemy troops arrived.

Once the enemy army breaks through the city, those who are responsible for blocking the gate will be the first to suffer.

Therefore, without thinking, they abandoned the city gate and hid inside the city.

However, one thing needs to be explained. The morale of the Yecheng defenders is low, which is a bit low, but it cannot be said that they are inferior.

After all, in terms of the righteousness of the world, these Yecheng defenders, or the entire Jizhou army, have a common mentality.

They felt that they were Han soldiers a few months ago and now they had become rebels inexplicably.

I can't accept it psychologically. After all, the Han Dynasty has been a country for more than 400 years, so its status in the hearts of the people is definitely higher than that of Yuan Shao.

Moreover, Yuan Shao himself was not a benevolent monarch. He still valued his generals, but he was not very good to these low-level soldiers.

If someone is watching, these soldiers are still willing to fight for Yuan Shao, but now, no one who can watch them is here, so it is expected that the guards at the city gate will collapse.
