In Nanyang City, Yuan Shu was sitting in his palace.
In front of him, there was extremely rich food.
There is also his favorite honey water.
However, looking at these sumptuous foods, he had no intention of enjoying them at this time.
"Your Majesty, if we really can't escape, let's just... surrender.
This way you can save your life.
No matter what, your majesty... is a member of the Yuan family.
The Yuan family has disciples and former officials all over the world.
Your Majesty was also confused for a moment and did such a thing.
But as long as he can repent in time, Liu Cheng will also leave a way for His Majesty to survive in the future.
I don't dare to really attack you.
After all, Liu Cheng is going to conquer the world next.
If he kills you, my lord, this time, then the others will definitely stick to it if they encounter this kind of situation in the future.
In this way, the difficulties he faces will be multiplied several times.
Therefore, if Your Majesty surrenders at this time, there will definitely be no problem with his life."
Someone came to see Yuan Shu and directly suggested that Yuan Shu surrender.
When Yuan Shu heard this, he rarely became angry.
He waved his hand and asked the man to sit down and eat with him.
If this person is in a hurry, why would he want to eat here?
Continue to persuade Yuan Shu here.
Yuan Shu ignored these.
After doing this for a while, he shook his head and said:
"Surrender to Liu Cheng?
Why surrender?
This person is just a lucky butcher.
I, Yuan Shu, cannot afford to lose this person!
It is simply impossible for me to bow down and surrender like this!
I, Yuan Shu, am the legitimate son of the Yuan family, and now I am the emperor of the Zhong family.
Noble status.
How can you surrender to him?
And I have already done some things.
The whole world has long known that I, Yuan Shu, have become the emperor.
Wouldn't it make me a complete and utter joke to step down from the throne and surrender?
I will definitely not do this kind of thing!
Even if I die in battle, I will never do this!"
After hearing what he said, the visitor suddenly stopped trying to persuade him.
Because there is absolutely no way to persuade.
In his opinion, there was no chance of survival except surrender.
No matter whether you are trapped in an isolated city or choose to break out, it is a dead end.
Nanyang City can no longer hold on for long.
Maybe at the next moment, someone will open the city gate and welcome Liu Cheng in.
As for leading people to break out of the encirclement, they can't leave at all.
Liu Cheng has many traitors and generals.
And his subordinates are all elite.
More importantly, this person is very capable of demagogueing people.
The fields of many landlords and gentry in Nanyang and other places were divided among them.
Through this method, many people became grateful to him.
Nowadays, Nanyang and other places, which are said to belong to my lord, have actually changed owners.
Except for a few places, everything else has been completely in Liu Cheng's hands.
Liu Cheng's control over these places has long surpassed Yuan Shu's.
In this situation, where to run?
I can't run away at all!
Those common people will take the initiative to provide food and grass for Liu Cheng's troops.
Make notifications.
Even if my lord can rush out of the siege outside Nanyang City in a short time, where can he rush to?
Eventually someone will get caught.
Faced with these delicacies, this person couldn't eat them.
My heart is full of sorrow and I have no appetite at all.
But Yuan Shu's appetite suddenly seemed to have improved.
Sit here and enjoy your meal.
Eat heartily!
After eating, he directly ordered to summon the best soldiers and horse generals under his command.
Give them money and food as rewards.
Arrange things for them.
Let them open the city gate, go out directly from the four gates, rush out, and break through.
At the same time, his son, wife, and other family members were also entrusted to these people.
Let them take them out when they make a breakthrough next time.
He arranged for his family to join the team that was breaking out to the north.
"Remember, after breaking out, go to Jizhou to find Yuan Shao.
No matter what, that guy and I are still a family after all.
Break the bones and connect the tendons.
When you get there, he won't treat you badly.
This is the jade seal. When you get there, give it to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao actually has this intention.
It's just that I don't have the courage.
I just took this step ahead of time.
This imperial seal was given to him.
It can be regarded as life-buying money obtained for you.
From now on, Yuan Shao will no longer be proclaimed emperor.
Or use this jade seal for other purposes, I don’t care..."
After hearing what Yuan Shu said and knowing that they would finally break out from Nanyang, Yuan Shu's family and many of his generals were very happy.
Although they also know that under the current situation, it is really difficult to successfully break through.
But no matter how difficult it is, it is still better than staying in Nanyang City.
Staying in the city will lead to death.
Today's Nanyang City has become a mess.
People's hearts fluctuated greatly.
No one can guarantee that at the next moment, someone will suddenly open the city gate.
A large number of soldiers and horses from Liu Cheng will flood in and occupy the city.
It is much better to break out of the siege at this time than to be trapped in the city.
At this moment, these people all started to do things according to Yuan Shu's instructions.
After some actions, by noon, Yuan Shu was almost ready.
It was at this time that everyone discovered something was wrong.
Because Yuan Shu actually stayed here at this time and had no intention of leaving.
"Grandpa... you won't come with us?"
Yuan Shu's son cried out in surprise.
The rest of the family also asked questions.
Yuan Shu shook his head and said: "If you don't want to leave, you can go.
I'm right here in Nanyang City."
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, everyone couldn't help being shocked.
I never expected that this would be the case!
When arranging the breakout, they all felt that according to Yuan Shu's character, Yuan Shu would definitely join them in the breakout.
Unexpectedly, when they were about to leave, Yuan Shu suddenly said that he would not go with them.
I want to stay here in Nanyang.
Yuan Shu's family members were surprised and quickly tried to persuade Yuan Shu.
"Grandpa, things are not that bad yet.
We will definitely be able to break out.
Depending on your ability and the family background of our Yuan family, it is very likely that you will rise again in the future.
Even if you can't get up, you can still live a stable life in the future.
And...you and your uncle are brothers.
We are just uncle's nephews.
Without you, our life would have been even more difficult.
If you don't go, I'm afraid...I'm afraid that the children and others will not be welcomed there..."
Yuan Shu shook his head after hearing these words of persuasion.
"No need to say more, you can go on your own.
I've already thought about everything.
Everything has been decided.
It will not be changed again.
And for your trip to Jizhou, just go with confidence.
Don't have to worry too much.
If you can't trust him, then no one can trust you.
That guy Yuan Shao is a bit petty though.
But there are differences between me and him, and between others and him..."
"Grandpa, don't do this.
Let’s go together!”
Yuan Shu's son begged.
Yuan Shu shook his head decisively.
"I'm not leaving, no matter what I say this time, I won't leave.
Just stay here.
I, Yuan Shu, am the emperor.
Even if you are in trouble at this time, you will not run away.
I need to accompany my city and my palace to destruction together!
If I leave, I will be laughed at by everyone in the world.
I, Yuan Shu, cannot afford to lose this person!!"
Seeing his subordinates and family members, he had to persuade him again.
Yuan Shu directly pulled out the sword in his hand.
He shouted angrily: "Get out of here!
If you dare to come here again, mother-in-law, I will chop you to death immediately!
Get out! Don’t cry and cry here!!”
Amidst his angry rebuke, Yuan Shu's family members knelt down in tears to bid farewell to Yuan Shu.
Follow the troops and take action.
Heading all the way towards the city gate.
After arriving at the city gate, go directly towards the lowered suspension bridge.
Started to run towards the outside.
When doing these things, Yuan Shu tried his best to keep it confidential.
Don't let things get out.
On the one hand, I am worried that it will be difficult to break through in the future.
On the other hand, they are also worried that before they get out of here, Nanyang City will explode after getting the news.
Hence the chaos.
As a result, the people here can't get out.
The people on Yuan Shu's side are not wrong at all.
Even here, he has done his best to keep it confidential.
But when they started to open the city gate and break out.
Still, he was discovered immediately.
Someone shouted: "Yuan Shu has run away!
Yuan Shu ran away!
Let's run too!
I’m not here anymore, go home, divide the fields, and live a good life with my mother-in-law in my arms!!”
With the shouts of these people, Nanyang City, which was already in chaos, was like a ball of flames.
It suddenly became extremely confusing!
Can't control it anymore.
Everyone shouted and rushed outside.
There are also opportunistic people who take advantage of this opportunity to fish in all kinds of troubled waters.
I want to take advantage of the chaos to get something more.
There are also some people from aristocratic families who know more about some things.
The heart is dark enough.
He gritted his teeth and headed towards Yuan Shu's palace with his servants.
Prepare to arrest Yuan Shu and even cut off Yuan Shu's head.
Then he took him to Liu Cheng's place to surrender.
If you do this, you can be considered to have made some achievements.
I will live a better life in the days to come.
You can get some better treatment.
They led the people and hurried all the way to Yuan Shu's palace.
Compared with the chaos outside, Yuan Shu's palace seemed relatively quiet.
Yuan Shu stood on the high platform, standing at the highest point, watching these quietly.
See everything in your eyes.
Watch these people pouring into his palace to capture him.
"Where is the traitor Yuan Shu!
Hurry up and catch this number one thief and atone for your sins!!"
Someone shouted loudly.
These people have completely gone crazy at this time.
In times of crisis, who can care about whom?
Only surviving is the most important thing.
At this moment, Yuan Shu was actually as calm as ever.
He showed some sarcastic smile.
But he didn't say much.
He just picked up a burning torch from the side.
He threw it directly downwards.
There were seven or eight torches in a row beside him.
Just like that, with a smile on his face, he threw the torches down one after another.
After the torch fell on the ground, a raging fire immediately broke out.
It turns out that many places in the palace had been greased by Yuan Shu's orders at some point.
There are other flammable items.
At this time, Yuan Shu kept throwing these torches downwards.
In an instant, a fire broke out and burned violently.
This kind of scene shocked the people who came here.
Some people turned around and tried to escape outside.
Others gritted their teeth and rushed towards Yuan Shu.
I want to fight to the death to capture Yuan Shu at the last moment.
Yuan Shu looked at this scene with a smile on his face.
No matter how the fire burned and black smoke filled the air, he stood here motionless.
Looking at the fire in front of me, it had already ignited in an instant.
The whole person's mood turned out to be very wonderful.
Seeing the sight of those who originally wanted to catch him running in panic, with their bodies covered in fire rolling around, but unable to escape, he couldn't help but smile.
Feel relieved.
At this time, he didn't think about his life.
My heart was filled with some inexplicable emotions.
Standing here quietly, watching the fire continue to burn.
The fire broke out raging, and the smoke filled the air.
Soon the palace was swallowed up.
Yuan Shu stood on the high platform and looked around.
At this time, the smoke filled the air, which actually gave him an ecstatic feeling.
He stood here and after looking at it for a while, he didn't know what he remembered.
Suddenly he knelt down in the direction of Luoyang and kowtowed.
It's like admitting a mistake, repenting...
After doing this for a while, he stood up again.
While coughing crazily, he looked at the many things he was holding that had been obscured by clouds and mist.
Looking at the blazing fire and the palace that was devoured in the fire, he suddenly remembered the scene when the eunuchs were killed.
At that time, he also led some people to burn down part of the palace.
The scene at that time was so similar to this time!
It's just that at that time, I was very energetic, but at this time, I no longer had the enthusiasm of the past.
I have experienced what I should have experienced over the years.
