"Dong" "Dong" "Dong" With a violent crash, the city gate of Ye County collapsed. Wang Shuang took the lead and rushed into the city, followed by five thousand elite Bingzhou soldiers. Invincible everywhere. "General Shen, the city gate has been breached!" Shen Rong was commanding thousands of brave soldiers to besiege Zhang He. Suddenly he heard that the soldiers came to report that the city gate had been breached. He couldn't help but panic. It was estimated that Ye City could not be saved, so he abandoned his soldiers and turned around. He left, preparing to escape from the east gate and go to the plains to join Yuan Shang. He met Wang Shuang who rushed in with his troops on a narrow road. "General Thief, where are you going? Put down your weapons, I will save you from death!" Wang held the "Tiger Roar" sword in both hands and blocked Shen Rong's path. Seeing the Bingzhou army pouring into the city like a tide, Shen Rong was frightened and knew that he was outmatched. He dropped his weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy: "General, spare your life. I am willing to surrender. I beg for grace not to kill him!" "Come on, kill this thief!" "I'll take him to prison!" Seeing Shen Rong's clothes, he looked like a heavyweight general. Wang Shuang was overjoyed. He had captured a general and accomplished another great feat. He ordered the soldiers behind him to take Shen Rong into custody and await his execution. Just when Wang Shuang captured Shen Rong alive, Zhang He led his troops to rush down from the city wall and said to Wang Shuang: "Zi Quan led his troops to meet the North Gate and West Gate. I will lead my troops to the General's Mansion to support Zi Long!" "I would like to follow you! General Zhang ordered me to open the west gate and north gate and escort Zhang Xun and Yuan Yao into the city. You go to the general's mansion to assist General Zilong!" Wang Shuang handed over to Zhang He, got on his horse, and led the elite troops behind him to kill towards the west gate. Zhang He summoned nearly a thousand soldiers and rushed towards the general's mansion along the streets to assist Zhao Yun, Zhu Ling and others. It is estimated that Jizhou soldiers were heavily besieged at this time, and Zhao Yun and others were forced to fight hard. The General's Mansion was currently in a bloody storm. Meng Han, the general, received the order from the judge and led 3,000 soldiers to counterattack the mansion. He hopes to snatch the Zheng family back and use it to blackmail Yuan Mai. But Zhao Yun blocked the front door, and Zhu Ao blocked the back door, with the momentum of "one man can guard the gate and ten thousand men can't open it". Meng Han's soldiers lost three to four hundred people, but they still couldn't get past the thunder pool. "Climb over the wall and get in!" Meng Han was a little anxious. In desperation, he ordered the soldiers to climb over the wall and enter. It seemed that there were only about 200 Bingzhou troops. They guarded the front and back doors, making it difficult to enter for a while, but there were more soldiers on our side. If they climb over the wall and enter, the Bingzhou Army inside may not be able to stop them. It¡¯s just that Meng Han¡¯s plan failed. Huge manpower and material resources were spent on the construction of Yuan Shao¡¯s mansion. The courtyard wall was more than two feet high. The soldiers could not climb it with their bare hands, even if they stepped on each other and formed a pile of arhats. Still unable to climb the wall, even if occasionally a few skilled climbers climbed to the top of the wall, they did not dare to jump off rashly when faced with a wall that was two or three people high. The wall is so high, it is rare for you to suffer some minor injuries when you fall to the ground. If it is serious, it is not impossible to break your leg bones, let alone get up to fight. Just when the soldiers on the wall were hesitant and in a dilemma, they were discovered by Zhu Ling inside the mansion. He hurriedly commanded several archers, bent their bows and nocked arrows, and shot at the top of the wall. As several screams were heard, the Jizhou soldiers who had nowhere to hide were shot off the top of the wall. Meng Han was furious. He ordered: "Bring in the ladder. There are only more than 200 Bingzhou troops inside. I don't believe it. It has become an iron wall. Everyone works together to take back Mrs. Zheng and Wen Chou. It must be a great achievement!" The Jizhou army agreed, and a The famous school captain led two to three hundred people and ran back to the military camp to look for ladders. After less than half an hour, they returned with dozens of bamboo ladders. They were about to put them on the courtyard wall and forcefully attack, when suddenly there was a sound of killing behind them, and Zhang He was seen. He brought more than a thousand of Bingzhou's elite soldiers to charge over. Meng Han was caught off guard and was stabbed in the throat by Zhang He, killing him instantly. The general was killed in the battle, and the soldiers in Jizhou were in great confusion. They knelt down and begged for mercy. Zhao Yun and Zhu Ao rushed out from the front and back gates respectively to assist Zhang He in encircling and suppressing the enemy. At the same time, Wang Shuang also opened the west gate from the city, lowered the suspension bridge, and let Zhang Xun's team rush into the city. In less than an hour, 20,000 to 30,000 men from Bingzhou rushed into Yecheng. The Jizhou soldiers could not resist. Except for a few people who fled towards the east gate, everyone else knelt down and begged for mercy. In just one morning, Yecheng has already changed its owner. "Alas I fell into Yuan Mai's treacherous plan. I am so ashamed of Young Master Shang!" Seeing that the situation was over, Shen Pei looked up to the sky and sighed, and retreated towards the east gate under the guard of five to six hundred close friends, intending to go to the plains to find Yuan Shang. Make plans later. "Huh Yuan Mai finally didn't block all four gates. As long as the sky is not destroyed, I will be the judge!" Arriving at the east gate, I saw that the city gate was wide open, and there was no Bingzhou army blocking it outside. The judge finally breathed a sigh of relief. , looking up to the sky and sighing. If the Bingzhou Army intercepts it with heavy troops,?With only the five or six hundred soldiers behind him, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky if he wanted to break out. At this moment, the east gate is wide open, and there are groups of defeated soldiers fleeing out of the city. They are scrambling one by one, explaining what it means to be defeated like a mountain. Shen Pei knows that it is difficult to restrain him. He sighs up to the sky and urges his horse to leave the city. The green hills remain, so you don¡¯t have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as I survive the trial, I will definitely help Mr. Yuan Shang make a comeback one day and take back Jizhou! "My lord, I am incompetent in judging matches. Although I love Mr. Shang the most in your heart, I can't defend Yecheng for Mr. Shang. I even lost Mrs. Liu. I have no face to see you under the Nine Springs! If you are alive in heaven, Ling, open your eyes and look at your son Yuan Mai. He is simply treasonous!" Shen Pei cursed Yuan Mai loudly as he rode out of the city. But what he didn't know was that although Yuan Shao loved Yuan Shang the most, he died in Yuan Shang's hands in the end. The new lord he tried his best to assist was actually a murderer of his father! The main road from the east gate of Bingzhou leads eastward to the plain. Shen Pei urged the horse to gallop, followed closely by four or five hundred of his followers. After walking for four or five miles, there was a sudden sound of drums on both sides of the road, and five or six thousand ambush troops came out from the diagonal, mixed with horse and foot, and surrounded the four to five hundred people who had been assigned in the center. "Shoot for me, leave no one behind, take them all!" Following Guo Huai's order, four to five thousand Bingzhou ambush soldiers fired arrows at random, and instantly killed half of the Jizhou soldiers besieged in the center, and the rest. Fighting to the death is nothing more than a mantis using its arms as a chariot. As the swords were swung, they all fell to the ground. Seeing his cronies around him being killed one after another, Shen Pei knew that he was doomed today, so he looked up to the sky and shouted: "God will destroy me, Shen Pei, and I will be ashamed of Young Master Shang if Ye City is lost. How can I, Shen Pei, be a prisoner of Yuan Mai? That's it." Meet the lord under Jiuquan!" Before he could finish his words, he drew his sword in his hand and killed himself with the sword despite the dissuasion of his trusted followers. A stream of bright red blood spurted out from his neck, a cool breeze blew in, and he instantly felt like the world was spinning. A pair of pupils slowly expanded, and he slowly fell backwards; as the civil and military leader of Jizhou, Shen Pei's life came to an end at this moment. After Shen Pei's death, Guo Huaifang learned from the Jiang soldiers that the identity of the deceased was Shen Zhengnan, the head of Jizhou's civil and military staff, and he was not captured alive. It's really a pity. After all, snatching the body was considered a great achievement. He ordered people to confiscate the weapons of the surrendered soldiers, found a coffin, restrained the judge, and handed it over to the lord for burial. When the haze cleared, the Bingzhou army had completely occupied Yecheng. More than 5,000 of the 20,000 defenders in the city died in battle, and 4,000 fled. The remaining 10,000 soldiers surrendered and were willing to serve Yuan Mai. They recognized that Yuan Mai was the new master of Jizhou from now on, and Yuan Mai happily resigned. Then, he agreed to accept the surrender of these soldiers. "My lord, I have captured a surrendered general, Shen Rong, the nephew of Jizhou Biejia who was originally engaged in trial mating. Please tell me, lord!" When the smoke cleared. Wang Shuang brought several soldiers and pushed Shen Rong to see his lord and asked Yuan Mai to surrender the general. Shen Rong hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "General Shen Rong paid a visit to Yuan Bingzhou and met with the Fourth Young Master. I have known for a long time that the Fourth Young Master will achieve great things in the future. I have long wanted to join him, but my uncle chose to assist Yuan Shang. The young general was very dissatisfied, but he did not dare to disobey his uncle, so he had no choice but to devote himself to serving under Yuan Shang. However, the young general always thought about the fourth master and wished he could follow him as soon as possible and make great achievements. Fortunately, he finally fulfilled his wish today. Shen Rong, I will serve you to the death!" Yuan Mai looked at Shen Rong sideways, looking like a traitor looking for glory. In history, it was he who opened the city gate of Ye County and let Cao Jun into the city. As a result, Yecheng fell and Shenpei was captured. If it hadn't been for this traitor's desire for glory, maybe the Yuan family could have persisted for another year and a half. "Sellers who seek glory will deserve to die!" Yuan Maili shouted and ordered coldly, "Come on, chop this guy down as a warning to others!" "Promise!" There were swordsmen and axemen who had already agreed and rushed forward. Lai pushed the bound Shen Rong aside, raised his knife and cut off the head, hanging it under the city gate as a warning. The beacon fire in Yecheng has been extinguished and the situation has calmed down. Yuan Mai ordered Wang Shuang and Zhou Cang to lead five thousand soldiers to search the streets and hunt down Yuan Shang's remaining party. He ordered Zhuge Jin and Yuan Yao to go out to calm the people and improve the discipline in the city. They would take advantage of the situation to rob them. The evildoers were brought to justice and the people whose houses were damaged in the war were compensated. After arranging the major military and political affairs, Yuan Mai went straight to the backyard of the General's Mansion to pay homage to his stepmother Zheng. "Mom, Yuan Mai will never redeem herself for causing you to be tortured by Mrs. Liu, a wicked woman!" Seeing Ms. Zheng, whose clothes were in tatters, covered with bruises, and with a haggard face, Yuan Mai couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. A delicate young woman unexpectedly After being tortured like this, this evil woman Liu Jiao is reallyThe heart is like a snake and a scorpion. How could it not be heartbreaking that this stepmother who was deeply devoted to him was tortured into this state? "Maier, I thought I would never see you again, but I didn't expect that you and I would meet again!" When she saw Yuan Mai appear in front of her, Mrs. Zheng, who was lying on the bed to recuperate, couldn't control the excitement in her heart. Excited, he climbed up from the bed, hugged Yuan Mai's shoulders, and cried loudly. "Mom, please don't cry. My child will never let you suffer again. From now on, let mom enjoy all the glory and wealth every day. No one in the world will bully you again!" Seeing Mrs. Zheng crying with joy, Yuan Mai Feeling very sad in his heart, he put his arms around Zheng's shoulders and spoke softly of safety. For a moment, I forgot that this was my stepmother. Although my behavior was out of emotion, it would inevitably give people an ambiguous feeling. After all, Yuan Mai is now nineteen years old, and Zheng is only twenty-seven years old. In total, she is only seven or eight years older than Yuan Mai. The age gap between the two is far less than that of mother and son, and they are more like a pair of sisters. Or dependents. Being held in her stepson's arms, Ms. Zheng just felt something was wrong. Her face turned slightly red and she hurriedly broke away. She lowered her head and said, "Mom doesn't need wealth. As long as she can live with Ah Ying, she will be satisfied." "Don't worry, Mom, Ah Ying is very happy every day under the care of her sisters-in-law. How happy she would be if she knew that Mom was still alive!" Yuan Mai smiled slightly and asked about little Ah Ying's current situation. Introduced to my stepmother. Seeing that Mrs. Zheng's palm was wrapped with thick gauze, Yuan Mai asked in surprise: "Has my mother's palm been seriously injured? Was it tortured by Mrs. Liu, a wicked woman?" There was a person next to her who had always been sympathetic to Mrs. Zheng. , the maid who was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Liu's style rushed to answer: "Mrs. Zheng's fingernails were pulled out by Mrs. Liu. I heard that she tortured Mrs. Zheng until she fainted" "What?" This evil woman is really like a snake!" Yuan Mai was furious and turned to Zhu Ling beside him: "Zhu Xiaoqi, do you remember how this evil woman, Mrs. Liu, made things difficult for us now? I want to torture this evil woman, vent my anger on my mother¡¯s behalf, and pay back tenfold for the evil deeds she committed!¡± No need to teach me, I will never let this evil woman live or die!" Zhu Ling agreed excitedly, then turned around and went to another room to torture Mrs. Liu and recover the blood debt for the scarred Mrs. Zheng. Madam Zheng hurriedly stopped her: "Xiao Qi must not be so presumptuous, madam, I won't allow you to go!" "Madam, Madam Liu, this evil woman has tortured you like this, why do you still plead for her and let me torture her so hard? Can't you do it?" Zhu Ling blinked, feeling unwilling. Mrs. Zheng sighed: "If I follow the anger in my heart, even if I pull out all the nails on her hands and feet, it will not eliminate the hatred in my heart. But if that is the case, it will bring a bad name to Maier. In any case, After all, Mrs. Liu is the stepmother of Maier. She tortured me and she has already gained the reputation of being like a snake. If Maier treats her like this again, everyone in the world will definitely scold Maier. I vented my anger and ruined Mai'er's reputation!" After hearing what Zheng said, Yuan Mai hurriedly bowed his hands and thanked Zheng: "My mother is far-sighted and repays evil with kindness. I admire her greatly!" He told Zhu Ling again: "Then temporarily. I will take advantage of this evil woman and deal with it after I discuss it with you adults! I will definitely let her get away with it!" After Zhu Ling left, Yuan Mai ordered the maid just now to serve as the backyard guard. The supervisor selected a few kind-hearted maids to serve Zheng. They must take good care of her and let her recover from her injuries as soon as possible. He also ordered Zhu Ling to go back and find a doctor with excellent medical skills to treat Zheng's injuries. There must be no accidents. After bidding farewell to Mrs. Zheng, Yuan Mai brought Xu Shu and Zhang He to visit Wen Chou again. As soon as he entered the room, he chuckled and said: "Haha General Wen is really lucky. He is still safe and sound under the torture of this evil woman. God bless him." "Yes!" "Wen Chou pays homage to the Fourth Young Master!" Seeing Yuan Mai enter the room, Wen Chou struggled to get up and wanted to kneel down, but his ankles were in severe pain, so he could only half-kneel and half-sit with his hands in his hands. Said: "I am injured, please forgive Wen Chou for not being able to give a big gift! Mr. Meng reminded me earlier that he entrusted Mrs. Zheng to me, but I fell into the cunning trick of the judge and was thrown into prison. Not only could I not protect Mrs. Zheng, but I I almost died at the hands of a traitor, I'm really ashamed. I'm grateful for the kindness I received from you now, and I'm willing to do my best for you!" After hearing Wen Chou's statement, Yuan Mai was overjoyed. I am short of strong generals, so being able to get Wen Chou's assistance is better than getting Yecheng. It is really gratifying to have another strong general under my command! Fu Xu laughed and said: "Hahaha I can get General Wen Chou'sAssistance, Yuan Maisan is lucky! Don't worry about being plotted against by villains. It's always easy to dodge and hide from open and hidden arrows. Fortunately, both my mother and General Wen are fine. With the addition of the general, the Bingzhou Army will surely become even more powerful! "
