As Gao Fei saw, Han Meng led the Yecheng civil and military forces to surrender.
Han Meng led the crowd across the suspension bridge and arrived in front of the Yan army. No one was carrying weapons, and the civil and military officials lined up in two rows, following behind him.
"Han Meng, the defeated general, led all the civil and military officials in Ye City to pay homage to the Marquis of Yan!" Han Meng plopped down and knelt down on the ground with a little water, holding the watch in his hand, and said loudly.
"I will pay homage to the Marquis of Yan..." The civil and military officials knelt down in the muddy pool together, shouting in unison, regardless of whether their clothes were noble or not.
Gao Fei looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground in front of him, and saw that their faces were very sincere, so he said loudly: "Are you sincerely offering the city?"
Han Meng, as the spokesman, replied: "I have long admired the name of Marquis Yan. We were enemies of Marquis Yan before, out of helplessness. Now we are sincerely coming to serve Yan Marquis. We hope that Marquis Yan can be magnanimous and accept us."
us."
Gao Fei glanced at the people kneeling on the ground. On the left were military generals, namely Zhang Nan, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, Chunyu Dao and others. On the right were Xin Pi, Pang Ji, Chen Lin, and Chen Zhen.
When waiting for others, he did not see the shadows of Jushu and Yuan Xi, so he asked: "Where are Yuan Xi and Jushu?"
Han Meng turned his face and waved towards the city gate, shouting loudly: "Bring the people out!"
I saw a few Zhao soldiers pushing Yuan Xi and Jushou out of the city gate, while Yuan Xi and Jushou were tied tightly with ropes and walked out very reluctantly.
"Haha, interesting..." Gao Fei saw Ju Shou and Yuan Xi being pushed out, and he laughed and said, "General Han, all generals and lords, please get up. Stand here for the time being. I will allow you to surrender."
Got it!"
Han Meng and others had expressionless faces. After thanking Gao Fei for his kindness in unison, they stood aside.
Yuan Xi and Jushu were quickly pushed over. Their mouths were tightly gagged with cloth, but their eyes were full of different looks. Jushu's eyes were angry and helpless, while Yuan Xi's eyes were pleading.
When Huang Zhong saw Zhao soldiers approaching Gao Fei, he galloped out with his sword drawn, took two steps forward, raised his sword, and shouted loudly: "Stop, whoever is coming!"
The soldiers of the Zhao army did not dare to approach, so they pushed Yuan Xi and Jushou forward.
Gao Fei sneered, rode his horse to the side of Yuan Xi and Jushu, raised the riding whip in his hand and pointed it at Yuan Xi and said: "The Huangkou boy is very capable. He killed your biological father and brother, but you want to frame me? I
Gao Fei dares to take responsibility, but he is not willing to take the blame for you. I want to make your murder of father and brother known to the world, so that you will be reviled by everyone in the world..."
"Uh-huh..." Yuan Xi's mouth was tightly blocked and he couldn't even scream. He threw the doctor and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Gao Fei. His previous high-spirited and heroic appearance suddenly disappeared.
For nothing.
"What? Are you begging me not to kill you but to spare your life?" Gao Fei said proudly.
Yuan Xi shook his head and made a few grunting sounds.
Gao Fei was very surprised and said to the soldier on the side: "Let him speak."
The soldier took off the cloth stuffed in Yuan Xi's mouth. As soon as the cloth was taken off, Yuan Xi shouted loudly: "Marquis Yan, I, Yuan Xi, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and I have already intended to surrender."
.But there is one thing I want to ask Marquis Yan to agree to, even if it is my plea before my death."
"Oh, tell me..." Gao Fei secretly looked at Yuan Xi in front of him. Seeing that this young man was very different from what he imagined, he felt that Yuan Xi had a sense of mystery about him.
Yuan Xi said: "There are 70,000 people in Yecheng. These people are being soaked in water. Many people's food has been soaked in sewage and is no longer edible. Now only the food in the treasury can help these people.
I would like to ask the Marquis of Yan to open a warehouse to store grain after he gets to Yecheng, so as to save the people in the city."
"Haha, you are indeed different from your father. I didn't expect that at such a young age, you actually know how to be considerate of the people. I promise you that."
"Thank you Marquis Yan!" Yuan Xi kowtowed, then stood up and said to Gao Fei with great righteousness, "Marquis Yan, I am the only one to blame. I am willing to suffer for everyone. Please behead my
First level, please show your military spirit!"
"Hmm..." Jushou suddenly ran to Yuan Xi's side, shaking his head vigorously, but still unable to speak.
Gao Fei waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to remove the cloth from Jushu's mouth.
As soon as the cloth in Jushu's mouth was removed, he hurriedly said to Gao Fei: "Marquis Yan, my lord is innocent. All the faults are mine alone. Please let my lord go. He, my old lord and others
People from the Yuan family are different. Although Yuan's blood is flowing on his body, there are
With a compassionate heart, my lord had the intention to surrender as early as three days ago. It was me who was standing in the way. If you want to kill me, just kill me. Moreover, it was me who allowed more than 20,000 Yanhou soldiers to be buried in the Juluze area.
If you don't kill me, the people will not be angry. I, Jushu, am willing to die to thank the world!"
"Father..." Ju Hu ran out of nowhere and shuttled out of the Yan army's camp. With a sad face, he ran to Ju Shou's side and knelt on the ground with a plop.
Jushou glanced at Juhu, ignored him, and said loudly: "I don't have a son like you. My son died half a month ago."
Juhu cried with snot and tears, and kept kowtowing to Jushou, begging Jushou to forgive him, but Jushou was already hard-hearted and would not even turn his head.
Jushu walked directly to Gao Fei and said loudly: "Yanhou, the meeting between you and me is considered a fate. I really want to be your opponent, but in the end I found that I am not your opponent at all. You are a hero."
Lord, I believe that you will end the constant wars and disputes and build a different world."
Gao Fei looked at Ju Shou's current situation, felt a little compassion, and said softly: "Actually, you don't have to die..."
Jushu said: "A loyal minister has nothing to do with the two masters. I feel sorry for my old lord, because it was I who encouraged the young lord to kill the old lord. I am already a sinful person with no king and no father. How can I still have the dignity to live in this world?"
superior?"
Gao Fei wriggled his lips and wanted to say something, but when he saw Jushou's resolute face, he knew that he could never feel compassion for Jushou anymore. The death of more than 20,000 soldiers was the price he paid for Jushou.
The price was already high enough. He sighed and finally asked: "Are you really not willing to be used by me?"
Jushu said: "Half a month ago, I was watching the sky at night and saw that my star was getting darker and darker, while the Emperor Ziwei star in the northeast was getting brighter and brighter. At the same time, the Emperor Ziwei star was surrounded by a group of bright stars.
General Star, I can only say that I have been destined by God. I heard that you are the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor Star. You have confirmed the rumors with your strength. I wish you can bring peace to the world as soon as possible in the future. The decadent Han Dynasty has existed in name only. Maybe you can
Create a new era."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jushou ran quickly towards the moat alone, jumped in with a splash, and after a splash of water, he never came up again.
"Father……"
When Ju Hu saw Ju Sui drowning himself in the river, he ran after him and jumped in desperately to save Ju Sue. However, as soon as he jumped into the moat, the poisonous snake that was originally hidden in the moat swam away.
He came over, entangled him tightly, and pulled him hard under the water. After some bubbles appeared on the water, Juhu stopped moving and sank deeply into the bottom of the moat, disappearing together with his father.
In the moat.
Yuan Xi watched Ju Suo die magnanimously, and Ju Hu also died soon after, and he sighed heavily. He raised his head, looked at Gao Fei, and said, "Marquis Yan, please kill me!"
Gao Fei waved his hands and shouted to the soldiers: "Untie them!"
Yuan Xi said in surprise: "Marquis Yan, you... you won't kill me?"
"Jushou saved you with his life, so I won't kill you again. Since he said that you are different from your father and brothers, then I want to see what is different about you. Yuan Xi, let me ask you
, are you willing to surrender to me, work for me, and join me sincerely from now on?"
"Lord! You must not do this!" Jia Xu suddenly rode up to Gao Fei's side and hurriedly dissuaded him.
Gao Fei said: "Why not?"
"Yuan Xi is a bloodline of the Yuan family. If he does not die, the old members of the Yuan family will feel a little concerned. If Yuan Xi is left behind, it can only be said to be raising a tiger. Please think twice, my lord!" Jia Xu said.
"Hahaha! This may be called destiny, Marquis Yan, since you agreed to my request, please don't break your promise. Even if I, Yuan Xi, die, I can rest in peace. For the great cause of Marquis Yan in the future, for those who surrendered
A soldier, why should I, Yuan Xi, sacrifice one life in exchange for the lives of 70,000 people in the city?" Yuan Xi laughed loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran back.
"Military advisor, I'm here to find you! Father, third brother, I'm here to apologize to you!" Yuan Xi shouted loudly as he ran forward.
Soon, Yuan Xi also jumped into the moat, and immediately many snakes wrapped around his body, and then he submerged into the water. The moment he submerged into the water, he had a smile on his face.
Gao Fei sighed and said: "Three righteous men died in one day. Yuan Shao had many capable people, but it was a pity that Yuan Shao was incompetent and could not control him. Military advisor, order people to salvage Yuan Xi, Ju Sue and Ju Hu.
The corpses were buried separately near Yecheng."
"No!" Jia Xu cupped his hands and said.
Gao Fei pointed at Han Meng who was standing aside and said: "General Han, please take me into the city. I want to start taking over Yecheng!"
Han Meng nodded and walked towards the city with the civil and military officials behind him.
Huang Zhong led a thousand cavalry to follow Han Meng, Gao Fei led a thousand cavalry in the middle, and all the troops behind were led by Zhao Yun, and sent people to notify Zhang He and Taishi Ci at the south gate and east gate.
Two people, tell them not to attack the city.
After entering Yecheng, everything was normal. Han Meng and others really surrendered sincerely, which made Gao Fei feel a little calmer.
