The captain came directly to Liu Biao and saluted him with clasped fists.
"Then what should we do now?
If you stay here, you can only wait for death, so you have to find a way."
Liu Biao was also stunned when he heard the captain's words. He really couldn't imagine that Huang Wan would dare to do such a move.
"It doesn't matter, we can just fight out,"
The captain smiled slightly. He didn't take the problem Liu Biao said seriously at all.
"Kill out?
Didn’t that fall into Huang Wan’s plan?
After all, we only have a thousand people, but they have thousands."
Liu Biao glanced at the captain of the Wei army and couldn't help but shook his head slightly. If he went out, he would just give Huang Wan a chance.
"Sir, don't worry. There are only a few thousand of them. I don't notice them at all. With such a small number of people, it is simply impossible to surround the entire palace. I am not a reckless man. I will pick a fight.
They broke through where they were weak."
The captain smiled slightly. He had thought of what Liu Biao said. He was not a fool. Even if the guards were really not afraid of the enemy, he would not rush into the crowd.
"Okay, in that case, let's break out immediately."
Now that the other party has a countermeasure, Liu Biao has nothing to say. Although he is a prince, he is surrounded by Yuan Shu's guards, and now he has to rely on others to protect him, so naturally he will not be offended.
"promise."
Soon the captain summoned the guards and came directly to the edge of a palace wall.
"Aren't you going to go through the door?"
Looking at the palace wall in front of him, Liu Biao instantly understood what the captain meant. He wanted to break through the wall instead of going through the palace gate.
"Well, it's difficult to leave through the palace gate. Huang Wan must be waiting for us there now, so it's better to break through the wall and make a surprise attack on them."
The captain nodded to Liu Biao and told him his arrangement.
"Then break the wall."
Liu Biao had nothing to say. Since you said break the wall, then break the wall.
"Hit the wall."
The captain had already made a plan, and he had thought everything clearly. If Huang Wan and the others had an impromptu intention to use the flagpole to break the wall, then he was already prepared.
There is a big bell in the backyard of the palace. He had taken a fancy to it a long time ago and sent people to reinforce the battering ram. Now it can be used as a wall battering ram. In two or three strokes, he directly broke a gap in the palace wall.
.
"Walk."
After breaking through the gap, the captain gave an order, and nearly a thousand guards roared out, killing all the enemies in that area, leaving a pile of corpses on the ground and marching away.
"Gong Wan, Liu Biao led his men to break through the palace wall, killed the soldiers guarding there, and retreated towards the city."
Liu Biao broke out of the siege, and someone came immediately to report the news to Huang Wan.
"Ran?
Chase me down."
Hearing that Liu Biao had burst out of the bastard's shell in the palace city, Huang Wan could not let him go, so he immediately led his men to hunt him down.
"Sir, Liu Biao has a thousand elites. It's not that easy to capture them rashly. Now Yuan Shu's troops will arrive at a moment's notice. If we delay, we may really be left in Xiangyang City."
The captain of the guard only felt a pain in his head. He didn't understand how Huang Wan, who used to be smart and calm, had become like this. It really gave him a headache.
"Yes, sir, we have to leave now, we can't stay any longer."
Zhou Mao also came to Huang Wan's side. Looking at the old man with a gray beard, he couldn't bear it.
"Spare his life, but I won't let him go. Let's go."
Huang Wan also knew that now was not the time. Looking at the direction Liu Biao was going, he shook his head and led the people towards the east gate.
It must be said that Huang Wan's appeal was still strong. In a short time, more than 20,000 people gathered around him. After opening the east gate, he escaped from Xiangyang City.
"Sir, where are we going?"
After leaving Xiangyang City, Zhou Mao looked into the distance. He was also a little confused. China is so big, and there used to be a Jingzhou that was their place of refuge.
Well now, Xiangyang is about to fall, and Jingzhou will not be spared. They have escaped, but where should they go?
"Let's go to Yidu County. Now there are enemies in Nanjun and Nanxiang. We can only retreat to the west or south. There should be no problem there."
Huang Wan thought for a moment, and now they can only go to Yidu County. Otherwise, if they go to Nan County or Nanxiang, they really won't be able to escape.
"promise."
"Wan Gong has an order to go to Yidu County."
Zhou Mao directly passed Huang Wan's order to the entire army, and then the army identified the direction and began to advance towards Yidu County.
"General, do you think the enemy will really come here?
In this place where birds don't poop, there are probably only a few thieves here, traveling for hundreds of miles but not getting anything."
The captain next to Xu Huang looked at the situation in front of him and couldn't help feeling depressed.
You said that you can't eat such a big fat piece of meat in Xiangyang City. Instead, you have to wait for some hypocritical rebels in this place where birds don't shit. Let's not talk about anything else. Even if there is a defeated army of hypocrites and they escape.
Come on, they just had a sip of soup, and all the real meat was eaten up by others.
"This is His Majesty's will, do you want to disobey it?
What we do is not to serve China. We deserve credit for fighting hard, but it is more important to clear out the remaining enemies. These people are the source of trouble.
If we don't kill them all, they will definitely cause chaos in the local area, and my Chinese people will suffer the most. Just wait with peace of mind and don't let any rebels go. Do you understand?"
Xu Huang doesn't have so many ideas. They can be said to have made outstanding achievements now. It doesn't matter whether they earn more or less credit.
As long as His Majesty's plan can be completed, everything will be worth it. I'm afraid that if the rebels are let go, they will be really embarrassed.
"promise."
After looking at Xu Huang's dark face, the captain knew that he had said the wrong thing. He lowered his head directly, clasped his fists and promised, and then arranged for soldiers to search for traces of the enemy.
"Your Majesty, the city gate has been cleared. The soldiers in the city are cleaning the battlefield and clearing out the remaining enemies. Huang Wan has fled through the east gate with more than 20,000 people. I have sent 50,000 troops to pursue him. Lord Liu Biao has also returned from danger.
Asking to be seen outside."
Zang Ba had already entered Xiangyang City and was responsible for coordinating the overall situation. He directly told Yuan Shu everything about Xiangyang City.
"Your Majesty, Huang Wan must have taken the road from Yidu County to Wuling County when he fled from the east gate. I don't know if General Xu Huang has arrived yet."
After Zhong Yao heard the news reported by Zang Ba, he saluted Yuan Shu directly and expressed his worries at the same time.
"General Xu Huang arrived at the only way to Yidu County and Xiangyang County yesterday. If they want to go there, they will simply fall into a trap. Don't worry."
Yuan Shu nodded to Zhong Yao. The people sent to Xu Huang yesterday had returned.
"I can rest assured that."
After hearing Yuan Shu's confirmed answer, Zhong Yao's anxious heart finally settled in his stomach.
"Well, Zang Ba, hurry up and clean up Xiangyang City. You must ensure the safety of Xiangyang City. Huang Wan and the others are guilty, but the people of Xiangyang are not guilty. Anyone who dares to take advantage of the situation and robs will be killed without mercy. Anyone who dares to commit adultery and plunder will be killed without mercy."
Anyone who dares to cause wanton destruction will be killed without mercy."
Yuan Shu had nothing to say and directly announced a three-kill order to ensure the stability of Xiangyang City.
"promise."
Following Yuan Shu's military order, the Chinese army also swept away the remaining enemies in Xiangyang City while shouting a three-kill order to ensure the safety of the people of Xiangyang.
"Liu Biao meets His Majesty,"
Liu Biao was led to Yuan Shu, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to him.
"Get up."
Yuan Shu waved his hand to Liu Biao, signaling him to stand up and speak.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Biao stood up directly.
"Jingsheng, you have worked hard these days. It must be very tiring to have to deal with those traitors."
After looking at Liu Biao, Yuan Shu smiled directly and spoke to him.
"It's not hard work for Liu Biao. As long as he can help China get rid of the traitors, bring all those treacherous ministers and traitors to justice, and protect China's peace for the rest of its life, everything will be worth it."
Hearing what Yuan Shu said, Liu Biao even said he didn't dare.
"Okay, I will keep your contribution in mind. Without your efforts, this time it would not have gone so smoothly. When the chaos in Jingzhou is completely suppressed, I will reward you based on your merits when I return to Xindu."
Yuan Shu looked at Liu Biao. The more he said this, the more he wanted to remind himself not to forget the promise he made before leaving.
"Liu Biao doesn't dare."
"Well, Dian Wei will take Mr. Liu Biao down to rest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
An hour later, Zang Ba returned to Yuan Shu again.
"Your Majesty, Xiangyang City has been completely occupied by our side. All the defeated troops have been surrendered and killed. Some of them also took advantage of the chaos to rob, and they were all killed under the three-kill order. Now Xiangyang City is safe again.
, you can enter the city."
Zang Ba directly reported the situation in Xiangyang City to Yuan Shu.
"Now that Xiangyang City has been pacified, let's enter the city."
Now that Xiangyang City had been pacified, Yuan Shu had nothing to say and simply issued an order to announce the army's entry into the city.
The foot of Xiangyang City symbolizes the complete destruction of the New Han Dynasty regime that Huang Wan worked so hard to establish.
"Dear ministers, now that the capital of the puppet Han has been occupied by us, all the soldiers and horses he gathered, except for the more than 20,000 people who fled with Huang Wan, have been defeated by us. Next, it is time to conquer the counties.
"
Yuan Shu looked at the civil and military officials in the hall and directly said what he should do next.
