In the big tent, although the wine and food were removed, the fragrance was still very strong. The civil and military officials ate a lot of wine and their faces were rosy.

"Your Majesty. After Hejian and Julu were all captured, Yuan Shao no longer had the power to fight back. Our hundreds of thousands of troops could completely surround Nanpi City. Build another city wall outside Nanpi City to lock Nanpi City. There is no need to fight, and only one year of siege will cause the city to collapse."

Ju Su said with a smile and bowed his hand.

"Mr. I looked up to them. Facing the besieged city of the king, can the military and civilians in Nanpi City last for a year? I don't believe it. At most, they will collapse on their own in March."

Fa Zheng said with a smile.

"Hahaha."

The civil and military officials burst into laughter. Hejian, Julu had been captured, Zhang He and Gao Lan had surrendered, Nanpi in front was like a beauty with naked clothes, and it was almost time to kick.

Not worth worrying, not worth worrying.

Zhang Xiu nodded. Build another city outside the city wall to trap Nanpi to death. This is a common routine for besieging the city.

Jushu's method is actually quite regular, but it is very useful.

But there is a prerequisite.

After everyone stopped laughing, Zhang Xiu said: "Of course it is good to siege the city. But there is a prerequisite. Liu Bei, the plain, cannot let him stay in the plain. We can only occupy the plain and then set up continuous camps across the Yellow River to prevent Cao Cao from leading his troops across the river and saving Yuan Shao."

Of course, those trapped hope to be rescued.

The people who besiege others are of course afraid that the other party will have reinforcements.

Now the only people in the world who can save Yuan Shao are Cao Cao and Liu Bei. It is hard to say whether they can kill Liu Bei.

But Liu Bei must not continue to stay in the plains, either kill or drive away.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu said to Liu Bei in his heart. "Thank you for your hard work."

He heard that Liu Bei had been operating in the plain for many years and was very popular, but under the army of Pang De and Taishi Ci, he was about to waste it.

All civil and military officials here are excellent elites, and they nodded in one after another when they hear this.

"What's going on with Cao Cao now? What about Zhang Liao?" Zhang Xiu looked up and asked Cai Mao.

"Report to Your Majesty. The latest news is that General Zhang and Cao Cao were unfavorable to fight, so he went back to repair the Hulao Pass." Cai Mao said hurriedly.

"Yes." Zhang Xiu nodded, without any surprise. Although Zhang Liao, Hu Cheer, Xu Rong, Wu Kuang and others were strong, they still suffered a loss when facing Cao Cao who returned to the army to rescue the Central Plains.

However, it doesn't matter if the Central Plains suffers some losses. If Cao Cao stayed in Hebei, he wouldn't have been able to beat Yuan Shao to a disabled person so easily.

"I ordered General Anliang, who was stationed in Fanyang, to lead 30,000 troops from his headquarters to go south and station in Liyang. I ordered General Hengjiang to lead 10,000 naval troops to cooperate with General Anliang to guard the Yellow River and beware of Cao's troops going north."

Zhang Xiu ordered.

Zhang Yong stationed in Fanyang to guard against Zhang He. Now that Zhang He has surrendered, it is meaningless to station in Fanyang.

"No." Cai Mao bent over and agreed.

After a while of discussion, Zhang Xiu asked everyone to leave. Early the next morning, Liang's army sent troops one by one and headed towards Nanpi City in the southeast.

At this moment, the entire Jizhou was in full swing.

Although after the war began, the Liang army won consecutive battles and captured cities and lands, and was invincible. Some people also acted as a leader, betrayed Yuan Shao, and surrendered to Liang State.

But Yuan Shao had been in Jizhou for many years, and Yuan's disciples and former officials were spread all over Jizhou.

Although some counties were captured by the Liang army, some people still secretly expected that Yuan Shao could make a comeback and turn defeat into victory.

As Gao Lan and Zhang He surrendered to the Liang Dynasty one after another, everyone knew that Yuan Shao was finished.

Bohai County, Zhangwu County.

Yuan Shao first started with the magistrate of Bohai County. This county was the place where he had been running the longest, and many people supported him. When the news came, the whole county was crying.

The Li family in the city.

Li Ming, the head of the Li family, is fifty-eight years old this year. His hair and beard are all white, his walking is trembling, and he needs a crutch. He is a retired body.

But when he was young, he was also the magistrate of Beidi County. He was also Yuan Shao's adoptive father, Yuan Cheng promoted him.

Since Yuan Shao started his army, the Li family has fully supported Yuan Shao. Li Ming's three sons, Li Ding, and second son Li Huan, all served under Yuan Shao's account.

In the hall, Li Ming looked at his third son Li Shun in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice: "Zhang He, has Gao Lan really betrayed?"

"Really. Now the Liang army has divided two troops. One attacked Liu Bei in the plains, and the other went to Nanpi. If there was no foreign aid, it was only a matter of time before Nanpi was defeated."

Li Shun was also trembling all over, showing a look of fear.

"The Yuan family's foundation is the foundation." Li Ming cried loudly and cried loudly.

Li Shun was also wiping tears aside. That night, Li Ming died in his sleep.

As the news spread, such things were everywhere. Some people even hanged themselves and fulfilled their loyalty to Yuan Shao.

Nanpi City is very chaotic.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

As the Liang army approached, many civilians were rushing to flee outside the city every day.

The Liang army had excellent military discipline and did not violate the people. Living elsewhere, you don’t have to care too much about your own safety.

However, living in Nanpi City may be affected by some of the attacks of war.

Despite the appearance of a mess, Nanpi City is still a lean camel larger than a horse. Many large and wealthy families who were loyal to Yuan Shao stayed, and some even led their families to Nanpi City to help guard the city.

"I didn't expect that Zhang He and Gao Lan surrendered."

On the north gate, the flags of the character "Yuan" flew in the wind. Yan Liang stood in an exquisite armor and stood facing north, with a sigh on his face.

Wen Chou, the four famous generals in Hebei, have been killed, Zhang He and Gao Lan have surrendered. Now he is the only one left.

Even with his perseverance, he couldn't help feeling lonely.

"I, Yan Liang, are definitely not Gao Lan. I will follow my lord to the end if I am a person like Zhang He." Yan Liang took a deep breath, and a strong look appeared between his eyebrows. He turned around and shouted, "Hurry up, there is not much time left."

Countless soldiers, carrying endless supplies to the city, came to the city.

Nanpi City has become a huge military fortress.

In the General's Mansion.

The maids, guards, and servants no longer had the same calmness as before, and were more or less fearful. The maids came and went in a hurry, and became absent-minded in their work, and there were many examples of mistakes.

In the back house.

Mrs. Liu knelt on the main seat, and below was Yuan Shang, who was beautiful and handsome.

Her face was full of panic, her hands were clasped together, and her body was trembling.

"Shang'er, what should we do?" She raised her head and looked at Yuan Shang helplessly.

The battle for inheritance rights here was caused by her. Even if Yuan Shao only had a few heavy cities left, it was in turmoil.

She still designed to let Gao Gan go to Zhang He as a military supervisor, Yuan Xi go to Gaolan's army to be a military supervisor, and Yuan Tan is a military supervisor in Yan Liang's army.

It is crazy to prefer the younger son.

It was not until the news of Gao Gan's death was returned that Gao Lan and Zhang He surrendered to the Liang army one after another that she realized that the ship had broken a big hole and was very likely to have overturned.

What should I do if I was captured by the Liang army?

Mrs. Liu was deeply frightened.

Yuan Shang opened his mouth when he heard this, and could not say a word. He was even more frightened and even more frightened than her.

Front yard, study room.

Yuan Shao sat in the main seat, and below were Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others.

Yuan Shao was sick before, but now he is cured. It is also funny to say that he was shocked by Gao Lan and Zhang He surrendered and sat up from the bed, and then the illness was magically cured.

Although the disease has been cured, Yuan Shao's complexion is still very poor.

Yuan Shao glanced at Guo Tu in front of him, Feng Ji and others, and showed a sigh. When he held a meeting before, the study room was full of guests, and the people with low status were ranked outside.

And now these are the only people left, some die, some escape, some surrender, and the rest are all loyal.

The scale is only one-fifth of that of its heyday.

Although he was sad, Yuan Shao still had the desire to live. He said in a deep voice: "Everyone, what should we do now?"

"Lord, you must first calm the country when fighting foreign countries. Zhang He and Gao Lan betrayed Xinyi and should immediately arrest their families in Nanpi City and execute them to serve as a warning to others." Feng Ji looked strong and decisive.

"What Yuantu said is that they must kill their whole family to establish their authority." Guo Tu nodded in a key point and agreed.

All the dead ministers here have never considered it. The Liang army broke through the city, Zhang He, and Gao Lan will retaliate. Most of them agreed with Feng Ji's opinion and killed Gao Lan and Zhang He's family...

Yuan Shao smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "My son is still in Zhang Xiu's hands. Besides... danger is imminent, why do you need to kill more?"

He was not soft-hearted, but fearful. If he had been on weekdays, he would have killed all the traitor's family.

But now the Liang army is approaching. Yuan Shao is afraid. He is not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but just an ambitious man.

The hegemony is gone, and it seems that it will disappear, just treat it as if it has not happened.

The key is that you can survive without any necessity.

Now Zhang He and Gao Lan have become a general of Liang and hold military power. What should we do if we kill Gao Lan and Zhang He’s family in Nanpi when they enter the city and kill him?
