With a muffled sound, Liu Qi was directly thrown into a meat pie, and the blood splattered around dyed the city wall next to him bloody.
"He was a loyal minister. He was buried well."
After looking at Liu Qi's body, Ma Chao nodded.
"promise."
The soldier behind Ma Chao nodded to Cheng Nuo.
"The county magistrate is dead, why don't you open the city gate and wait to die in the city together?"
"Open the city gate."
After hearing Ma Chao's words, more than a dozen people on the city wall suddenly realized, and then hurried down to open the city gate.
"Enter the city."
Ma Chao rode his horse and led the soldiers and horses behind him directly into the city of Ping'a. So far, all three cities heading north to Yuzhou were captured by Yuan Shu. It can be said that Chen Wen's passage to the north to Yuzhou has been basically blocked.
"Sir, Yuan Shao has agreed to send 50,000 troops to support Yangzhou."
Chen Chi returned to Shouchun City first and directly informed Chen Wen of Xu You's decision to send troops.
"Okay, okay, Chen Chi deserves the reward."
After hearing Chen Chi's words, Chen Wen stood up excitedly.
"This is what children should do."
Chen Chi, however, bowed to Chen Wen.
"A reward of a hundred taels of gold from Chenchi and a mansion."
Although Chen Chi is modest, Chen Wen cannot chill the hearts of those who have made meritorious deeds, and should still be rewarded when they deserve it.
"Thank you for the gift, sir."
Chen Chi knelt down to thank him, his eyes filled with joy.
"Go down."
"promise."
Chen Chi left, but Chen Wen turned his attention to Zhang Xun beside him.
"Zhi'an, now that Yuan Shao has sent troops, do we have some hope?"
"Sir, if Yuan Shao really sends 50,000 troops, then the probability of defending Shouchun will be greatly improved."
Zhang Xun nodded at Chen Wen.
"This is very good, very good. If someone comes to hold a banquet, I will drink three hundred cups, hahahaha."
This is the best news Chen Wen has heard in a long time.
One day later, Chen Yue, who left for Xiangyang, also returned to Shouchun City.
"Sir, Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, has agreed to send 50,000 troops to enter Yangzhou from Jiangxia."
"Liu Jingsheng also agreed to send troops?
Hahahaha, Yangzhou has been saved, the emperor has been saved, come and reward Chen Yue with a hundred taels of gold and a mansion."
"Thank you for the gift, sir."
Chen Wen only felt that he had eaten a big popsicle in thirty-nine days, and the pores all over his body were dilated. Yuan Shao and Liu Biao both agreed to send troops, with 100,000 troops to support Yangzhou. With such help, he could defend Shouchun and Jiujiang County.
The impossible becomes possible.
happy.
The day after Chen Wen received the news, Yuan Shu finally arrived outside Shouchun with his army.
"Sir, Yuan Shu's army has arrived."
Yuan Shu's army arrived, and a scout immediately conveyed the news to Chen Wen.
"Follow me to the city wall."
When he heard that Yuan Shu's army had arrived, Chen Wen took Zhang Xun and You Yu directly to the city wall.
Soldiers and horses gathered on the Shouchun city wall. Looking at Yuan Shu's army lined up under the city, they couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Yuan Shu rode out alone and slowly arrived outside the city wall.
"Is Chen Yuanti here?"
After looking at the people on the wall, Yuan Shu spoke directly to the wall.
"Chen Wen is here, Yuan Gongdao, you dare to lead an army to attack the emperor's residence. What are your intentions?"
When Chen Wen saw Yuan Shu, he showed no mercy.
"Chen Yuanti, don't talk nonsense. I am here to lead the army to kill you, the sycophant of the Emperor of Cholera. If you know the truth, you will open the city and surrender immediately. I can spare your life. If you resist stubbornly, the city will be destroyed."
On that day, the soldiers and generals in Shouchun City, including officials from all walks of life, were killed without mercy."
There was a strong smell of blood in Yuan Shu's words, which spread directly to the city wall.
"Huh, Yuan Gongli, I'm not afraid to tell you that Yuan Benchu and Liu Jingsheng have each sent 50,000 troops to support Shouchun. If you have the sense, you should immediately stop your troops and the emperor will not blame you. Otherwise, when the army arrives, can you return to Jizhou?
There are still unknowns.”
Chen Wen was now confident and shouted loudly at Yuan Shu.
"Yuan Shao and Liu Biao will send troops, hahahaha, then let's see the real chapter under our men."
Yuan Shu laughed immediately after hearing Chen Wen's words. Why did Yuan Shao and Liu Biao send troops?
This is also to prevent you, Chen Wen, from escaping to Jingzhou and coming to support Yangzhou to realize your great Spring and Autumn Dream.
Without further ado, Yuan Shu turned around and returned to the army.
"Siege the city."
Yuan Shu, who returned to the main tent without hesitation, directly ordered the army to attack the city.
"The Lord has orders to attack the city and beat the drums."
Continuous war drums beat loudly, like rolling thunder reverberating in the sky.
The trebuchet troops immediately went into battle and began to assemble the trebuchets. At the same time, the nightmare trebuchets in the army also began to assemble. Yuan Shao wanted to capture Shouchun City in one battle.
"Sir, please come down from the city wall and leave this place to me."
Seeing Yuan Shujun starting to assemble the trebuchet, Zhou Ping couldn't help but tremble. He had seen the power of the enemy's trebuchet when he was in Dongcheng, so he directly clasped his fists at Chen Wen and asked him to get off the city wall, otherwise he would really wait for the trebuchet's stone bombs to explode.
, I can’t guarantee that Chen Wen won’t be smashed to death.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you. You must block Yuan Shu's troops."
A gentleman does not build a dangerous wall, and Chen Wen is not a general who relies on force to win. He can only add chaos to the city, so he handed over the city wall to Zhou Ping without hesitation, and went down the city wall to return to his mansion.
"The entire army is on alert to prevent Yuan Shu from attacking."
Chen Wen lowered the city wall, and Zhou Ping directly ordered the city wall to prepare for defense.
"Master Zhou Mu, the emperor has summoned you to see you."
As soon as Chen Wen returned to the mansion, a eunuch came directly to see him with small steps.
"Eunuch Sun goes first, Chen Wen will go to see His Majesty immediately."
Chen Wen was also stunned when he heard the eunuch's words.
"Then this slave will go ahead."
The eunuch nodded to Chen Wen, then nodded and left, returning to the State Shepherd's Mansion, which was used as a palace.
"Sir, His Majesty the Emperor may have heard the sound of war drums outside the city."
Zhang Xun glanced at Chen Wen, and after thinking for a moment, he figured out why the emperor was looking for him.
"I understand, I will go see the emperor right away."
Chen Wen nodded, then changed into formal clothes and got on the carriage and headed towards the emperor's place.
"Your Majesty, please see me outside the Chenzhou Mu Palace."
Chen Wen came, and the eunuch outside the palace directly told the Han Emperor Xian Liu Xie the news.
"Xuan."
When Liu Xie heard that Chen Wen was waiting outside, he directly ordered him to appear in court.
"Promote the state pastor Chen Wen's visit."
After hearing the eunuch's words, Chen Wen straightened his clothes and stepped into the hall.
"Chen Wen meets His Majesty."
After Chen Wen entered the door, he knelt down on his knees and saluted Liu Xie.
"Yuan Ti, I just heard the war drums ringing in the sky. Could it be that Yuan Shu's army is attacking?"
There was a trace of fear in Liu Xie's eyes. He had not been settled in Yangzhou for a few days when Yuan Shu came over. He was really scared.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Shouchun City has a strong wall and is guarded by a hundred thousand troops. Yuan Shu won't be able to break in in a short time. Moreover, Yuan Benchu and Liu Jingsheng have each sent fifty thousand troops to support Yangzhou, so there is no need to worry."
Sure enough, Liu Xie heard the war drums outside the city, so he quickly told Liu Xie the current situation.
"That's good. I hope the Qing family will do their best to defend the city and protect the peace of the Han family."
After hearing Chen Wen's words, Liu Xie's turbulent heart calmed down a little.
"Chen Wen will definitely live up to the holy hope and defend his enemies beyond Shouchun."
