Seven hundred and sixtieth chapters offer the city
Chapter 763: Dedicating the City
After Zhou Ping left for a while, a wailing sound came from the room, and then Li Zhi returned to his troops with red eyes.
The division of labor was clear. Zhou Ping left Dongcheng with an army of 40,000 and returned directly to Shouchun, leaving only Li Zhi and his 10,000 troops to stay in place to defend Yuan Shu's partial army.
"Captain, do we really have to fight for Mr. Chen Wen?"
The soldiers and horses left in Dongcheng now all know their current situation. Once Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses come over, they will probably be killed in a row.
"Desire, I will never let Zhou Ping go. If you threaten me with my family, I will die with you. I will send people to find Yuan Shu's troops immediately. I want to open the city and surrender."
Hearing what his men said, Li Zhi's eyes shone with a crazy light. Aren't you threatening me with my family?
Okay, then I will die together with you. If I can't live, then everyone will die together.
"is this okay?"
Hearing Li Zhi's words, the soldier who asked the question was also stunned. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect Li Zhi to surrender directly. This is too crazy.
"What's wrong? Come to me now, immediately, immediately."
Li Zhi, on the other hand, looked crazy as he spoke to the soldier.
"promise."
Seeing Li Zhi's frightening look, the soldier was immediately stunned. He didn't dare to delay and went straight out of Dongcheng and headed north to look for Yan Liang.
In fact, although Yan Liang lost 50,000 troops in the last battle and retreated fifty miles to camp, he never gave up the investigation of Dongcheng. As soon as Zhou Ping left, they detected something strange, and later arrested the soldiers who came out from Dongcheng to report the news.
Got it right.
"Say, what's it called?
For what?”
Several steel knives directly circled the soldier's neck, and the soldier was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Grandpas, my name is Ah Si. I have been ordered by the captain to look for Yuan Zhoumu's troops. I have something important to report. How many of them are Yuan Zhoumu's troops?"
After Xiaobing finished speaking, he glanced at the expressions of the big men around him and knew that these people must be Yuan Shu's scouts.
"Boy, what do you want?
We are Yuan Zhoumu’s scouts.”
Hearing that the soldier had something important to do, the scout was stunned for a moment, and then admitted his identity.
"Grandpas, the city of Liyang was broken, and Yuanzhou's army was approaching Shouchun. Chen Wen, the governor of the state, ordered Zhou Ping, the captain of Yangzhou, to return to the army to rescue Shouchun. Zhou Ping also brought an army of 40,000 back to Shouchun. Now my school is the only one in the east city.
Lieutenant and the ten thousand soldiers and horses under his command, I am here in the name of the captain, to abandon the light and surrender to the dark, and surrender to the city."
Xiao Bing Ah Si directly told all the news about Liyang and Dongcheng. At the same time, he also told several scouts about Li Zhi's surrender in Kaicheng.
"Come on, come with me to see the general."
Several scouts were stunned, looking at Ah Si and not knowing what to say. In the end, the team reacted first, grabbed the soldiers and mounted their horses, and ran towards Yan Liang's station.
A dozen war horses galloped desperately, and the distance of fifty miles passed in an instant.
"General, the scout team led Zheng Jun to ask for an audience."
Yan Liang was also stunned when he heard Zheng Jun's request for an audience. Wasn't he monitoring the situation in Dongcheng?
Why are you back now?
Could it be said that something has changed in Dongcheng?
"Quickly announce that Zheng Jun is coming in."
Soon the team led Zheng Jun and the soldier Ah Si into Yan Liang's tent.
"Zheng Jun pays homage to the general."
After entering the tent, Zheng Jun immediately saluted Yan Liang, while the soldier Ah Si knelt directly on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"Don't talk too much, who is this person?
If I didn’t ask you to monitor Dongcheng’s activities, why did you come back?”
The rules of the Jizhou Army are that there are not so many red tapes, and everything is based on military situation first.
"General, we observed something strange in Dongcheng. Not long after, this guy sneaked out of the city and was held down by us. This is our general. Please tell our general what you just said again."
Zheng Jun looked at Yan Liang and suddenly didn't know what to say, so he kicked Ah Si next to him and asked him to speak for him.
"The villain, Si, is a soldier of Lieutenant Li Zhi. We have received an order from Master Zhou Mu. Liyang City has been captured by Master Yuan, and the sword is pointing at Shouchun. Zhou Ping has returned to defend with an army of 40,000. Now there is only my school in the east city.
The captain has one man and one man, he wants to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side, Kaicheng surrenders."
Ah Si rubbed his legs and repeated what he had just said without daring to neglect.
"What did you say?
Liyang was destroyed and the lord pointed his sword at Shouchun. Zhou Ping has already led his troops back to Shouchun?"
After hearing Ah Si's words, Yan Liang stood up directly, walked to his side in a few steps, and stared at Ah Si with his big copper bell-like eyes.
"It's absolutely true, everything Ah Si said is true."
Looking at the fierce Yan Liang, Ah Si felt that his legs were weak and his pants had become wet unconsciously.
"Okay, okay, okay, go and ask the military advisor and Zhang Jia to come over right away to discuss the matter."
Hearing Ah Si's definite answer, an indescribable surprise flashed in Yan Liang's eyes. Some time ago, he was ambushed in Dongcheng and lost his troops. Although it also held back Chen Wen's troops, it was somewhat of a shame for him. Now
How could he not be happy when he had the opportunity to capture Dongcheng and march into Shouchun?
After a while, Zhang Zha and Zhang Zhao came to Yan Liang's handsome tent together. Looking at Yan Liang with a happy face, the two of them were somewhat confused.
"Mr. Ji, is there good news in Dongcheng?"
Zhang Zhao glanced at Ah Si who was kneeling on the ground, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"That's right, great news. The lord has defeated the Liyang sword and points to Shouchun. Now Zhou Ping leads his army back to Shouchun, while Li Zhi, who stayed in the east city, decided to surrender in Kaicheng."
Yan Liang directly told the news he had received.
"really?"
To be honest, Zhang Zhao never expected that Yuan Shu could capture Liyang Sword Point Shouchun so quickly. Why was the lord so fast?
It was too fast for him to accept.
"We will find out if it is true or not as soon as we take the troops to Dongcheng."
Although Yan Liang still doesn't know whether it is true or not, judging from Ah Si alone, it should be true, and the scouts also detected unusual movements in Dongcheng, so it is very likely that it is true.
"Then send troops to Dongcheng and see what the situation is."
Zhang Zhao also nodded. Once he reaches Dongcheng, he will know whether it is true or false.
"Beat the drums and send out troops."
The rumbling war drums shook the heaven and earth, and the camp was instantly awakened. All the soldiers began to assemble under their respective command and control, and marched towards the east city.
The distance was fifty miles, and after an hour of rapid march, they arrived outside the east city.
"Captain, they are here."
Seeing Yuan Shu's army running at great speed, a team leader directly spoke to Li Zhi on the city wall.
"Well, let's get ready to open the city."
Li Zhi looked at Yuan Shujun in the distance and nodded.
"Captain, once the city gate opens, we will have no way out."
Li Zhi's bodyguard glanced at his captain, with a trace of struggle in his eyes.
"A way out?
Could it be said that there is a road without opening the city gate?
Anyway, it’s all death and the door will be opened.”
A flash of redness flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, but he decided to surrender to Kaicheng.
"promise."
The east city gate slowly opened, and Li Zhi led his generals out across the city, waiting for Yan Liang's arrival.
"The city gate is open."
Zhang He saw a hint of joy in his eyes when he saw the east city gate open.
"Let's go and have a look."
Yan Liang nodded, then rode his horse forward slowly, while Zhang He followed closely behind him.
"The guilty general Li Zhi pays homage to the general."
When Yan Liang came to him, Li Zhi knelt down on one knee and raised his long sword above his head.
"Li Zhi, right? It's good to be able to turn from darkness to light. Let's go into the city."
Yan Liang felt Li Zhi's sincerity and nodded, then rode towards the city.
"Enter the city."
Zhang He gave the order, and the soldiers behind him followed Yan Liang and entered the east city.
