Three thousand cavalry led by Guan Yu arrived outside Taiyuan City first. He did not attack, but decisively arranged for his cavalry to block the pass south to Hedong County and cut off Yuan Shao's retreat south to Hedong.
After Guan Yu blocked the checkpoint, a problem was discovered. Yuan Shao chose to defend and had no intention of evacuating.
As a result, all Guan Yu's arrangements were useless.
Guan Yu felt very sorry in his heart.
If Yuan Shao didn't come out, he wouldn't have the chance to attack Yuan Shao, or kill Yuan Shao and seize the flag alive. Yuan Shao is the king of Jin. If he captures Yuan Shao, it will be a huge feat.
Pity!
While Guan Yu felt regretful, he did not relax and waited for the army from behind. A day and a half later, the infantry army led by Zhang Liao arrived and further blocked the area around Taiyuan City.
A normal blockade is to surround three buildings and one, and surround three sides and leave one side.
Because the escape route is completely blocked, the defenders in the city will fight to the death. However, leaving a way out will disintegrate the desperate fighting mood of the soldiers in the city and make the enemy want to retreat.
As soon as the enemy retreats, you can cover them up and kill them.
If the army covers them up, the enemy will be further defeated.
Zhang Liao left no loopholes and blocked the checkpoint road outside the city, controlling Yuan Shao in Pingyuan City. Because the power controlled by Zhang Liao and the power controlled by Yuan Shao were vastly different between the two sides.
The most important point is that there are people in the city who have surrendered to the state of Wu.
After Zhang Liao sealed off the county seat, Tian Chou had not arrived yet, and half a day later, the army led by Tian Chou arrived. He had already received a letter of submission from Ju Shou and knew the plan, so after arriving, he went straight to the east gate of the east city without delay.
Tian Chou stepped forward and shouted, and Ju Shou ordered the surrender.
The generals guarding the city were all encouraged to rebel by Ju Shou. These people had no intention of fighting. In other words, after the First World War in Hejian Kingdom, Yuan Shao's generals had their fighting spirit broken and lost the confidence to fight to the death.
Everyone is afraid of the Wu army.
Yuan Shao retreated into Taiyuan City, still huddled in a corner, and was already doomed to defeat. Especially since Yuan Xi was defeated at Jingxing Pass, their troops hiding in Taiyuan City could not stop him at all.
Tian Chou arranged for Zhang Liao to enter the city and quickly seize the east gate of Taiyuan City to ensure his control. Then, the army began to enter the city one after another, heading towards the palace in the city.
This time, it was Tian Chou who led the army, including Ju Sue, Tian Feng, Zhang He, Gao Lan and Guo Tu. When Tian Chou and others were heading towards the Jin Palace, Yuan Shao received news from the palace that Ju Sui had surrendered and the army had entered the city.
.
The palace was already in a state of turmoil.
Countless people are running away.
A large number of attendants and maids quickly searched for valuable items, or took the money to find their own way out. Yuan Shao had no intention of paying attention to the escape of these maids.
Yuan Shaokong sat in his study, with shock, confusion and disbelief on his face, and finally despair.
Taiyuan City was locked up.
Jushou surrendered and was led into Tianchou. Yuan Shao had no way to escape and was already a turtle in the urn.
When Yuan Shao was desperate, Shen Pei and Yuan Shang came.
Yuan Shang was completely helpless. He looked at the desperate Yuan Shao and said quickly: "Father, Jushou has surrendered. This man is too cunning and has ulterior motives. On the surface, he suggested that father should defend and surrender in the blink of an eye. Father, what can we do?
manage?"
Yuan Shao said helplessly: "We are sealed in Taiyuan City and don't even have a chance to escape. What else can we do? Now we can only wait to die."
Yuan Shang was panicked.
He was like a headless fly scurrying around, trembling as he said: "Father, I don't want to die, I don't want to be a prisoner."
Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't want to become a prisoner, there is only one way to commit suicide! If you die, you will no longer be a prisoner, and you will not be humiliated."
After saying that, Yuan Shao grabbed the sword beside him and threw it in front of Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang looked at the sword on the ground, and his hands trembled. After hesitating for a while, Yuan Shang still did not have the courage to pick up the sword and commit suicide.
Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shang and smiled.
Yuan Shang heard the sarcasm, his face turned red, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Yuan Shao looked at Shen Pei and ordered: "Your Majesty Shen, the Jin Kingdom is gone and everyone has surrendered. Now, my king wants to see Tian Chou, Ju Shou and Tian Feng, and ask them.
How can I be sorry to them for betraying me? I know your loyalty. Please retreat and wait for Tian Chou to surrender."
"I swear to follow the king to the death."
Shen Pei's eyes were determined, and he looked stubborn and tough, and said: "The king is here, and I will be here. If the king goes to death, I will follow you to death. I have no ability, and I only have the status I am today because of the appreciation of the king. Everyone has
You can betray the king, but I cannot betray the king."
Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "It's not necessary."
Shen Pei said firmly: "This is my own choice."
Yuan Shao looked at the judge again and looked pleased. He stood up and walked to Yuan Shang, picked up the sword on the ground, his eyes widened, and said loudly: "I, Yuan Shao, come from the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third prince, although there is no hero
I'm angry, but I won't let anyone humiliate me."
While Yuan Shao was speaking, he suddenly thrust out a sword.
The cold light flashed, and Yuan Shao's unexpected sword strike was so fast that Yuan Shang had no precautions. He was caught off guard and it was too late to dodge.
Phew!
The sharp sword tip easily penetrated Yuan Shang's body and penetrated his heart.
Bright red blood splattered out.
Yuan Shang's face was filled with astonishment and disbelief, unable to believe that his father would kill him.
Yuan Shao drew his sword indifferently.
Blood splattered further, and Yuan Shang screamed and fell to the ground. He looked at Yuan Shao and murmured: "Father, why, why..."
Yuan Shao said coldly: "You can't commit suicide. I will help you. People of the Yuan family can be defeated, stupid, and greedy for pleasure. However, the people of the Yuan family surrendered to Lu Xuan and became Lu Xuan's prisoners. Then they looked at each and every one of them.
It is impossible for people who serve the Yuan family to be above this king!"
After being truly defeated, Yuan Shao was at peace and did not need to worry that Tian Chou might come to kill him at any time.
Because it's already here.
There is no use in worrying now.
Yuan Shang's eyes were unwilling, and he stretched out his hand towards Yuan Shao, and opened his mouth to speak. But as soon as the words came to his mouth, he lost his breath, and the hand in the air fell to the ground with a clatter.
Yuan Shao killed Yuan Shang and ordered: "Your Majesty, please change my clothes. If I die, I will also be the king of Jin."
"Here!"
Shen Pei helped Yuan Shao change his clothes.
Yuan Shao changed his clothes, killed his wives and concubines together, and then took Shen Pei to the hall and stood there. He was leaning on his sword and looked majestic. Shen Pei stood beside him, looking respectful.
While Yuan Shao was waiting, Tian Chou arrived.
Behind Tian Chou were Yuan Xi, Ju Sue, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Zhang He, and Gao Lan. The moment everyone entered, they noticed Yuan Shao's posture and saw Yuan Shang who was killed on the ground.
