Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

The ruthless long arrows drove straight in, passing through Yuan Bing's bodies, and screams rang out one after another.

One of the long arrows of the bed crossbow was unstoppable and rushed directly towards Yuan Shang's horse.

Hearing another mournful cry, the war horse was like paper, and was forcefully torn apart by the long arrow. The blood and internal organs spilled all over the ground, and Yuan Shang was also thrown on the ground.

He quickly got up and looked back at the wreckage of the war horse. The stench of blood entered his nostrils, his face was pale, and he forgot to run away for a moment.

Yuan Shang had seen the power of the three-bow bed crossbow before, and it was his first time to experience it personally.

"My lord, run!"

Seeing this, several soldiers quickly pulled Yuan Shang and retreated desperately.

There was also a personal soldier who gave up his horse to protect Yuan Shao from withdrawing from the chaos.

Looking at Chen Yang's side again, the three-bow bed crossbow was temporarily put away, and all the crossbowmen raised their crossbow arrows and fired continuously. The enemy troops who couldn't make it in time fell one by one, but more soldiers were not afraid of death to block Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang brothers. behind.

Fight to the end, let them fight out.

Chen Yang also ordered people to chase after him, and waved his hand to make all the soldiers retreat, and then surrounded Yuan Tan and others.

Although Yuan Tan fled here in embarrassment, there were quite a few people around him.

Seeing that all the crossbow arrows were turned and aimed at them, Yuan Tan and other soldiers did not dare to resist and had to throw their weapons aside.

Although trapped in the enemy's army, he survived.

Yuan Tan looked at Chen Yang cautiously, and asked, "General, what's your name?"

"I am the Chen Yang you all hate the most."

Chen Yang smiled slightly, and said, "My lord, you should have heard of me, right? Do you want to kill me?"

"No...don't dare!"

Yuan Tan shook his head vigorously, then was surprised again.

Are you kidding me?

To kill Chen Yang here, Yuan Tan knew that he might be shot as a hedgehog before he could do it.

This is Yuan Tan's first meeting with Chen Yang. He had many guesses about Chen Yang before, but he never thought that he would be such a young person.

"My lord, do you really want to surrender?"

While talking, Chen Yang drew his sword out of its sheath, as if Yuan Tan would pierce him through if he dared to shake his head and deny it.

Yuan Tan said, "Of course I sincerely want to surrender."

By now, even if he didn't want to surrender, it was too late.

"In that case, take them all back!"

After Chen Yang finished speaking, he turned and left.

In Cao Jun's camp in Liyang, after Yuan Tan and others were brought back, they were randomly placed on the school grounds.

Before Cao Cao appeared, Yuan Tan saw two familiar faces, they were Gao Lan and Zhang Yun, and he kept giving them winks to ask for help.

However, Zhang Yun and Zhang Yun had no affection for Yuan Shi, as if they couldn't see it, they ignored Yuan Shao.

Yuan Tan was very depressed, whether he was going to live or die, he could only resign himself to fate.

It is almost April now, the sun is not particularly fierce, but it is still very hot.

Yuan Tan and the others were standing in the school yard exposed to the sun, and their mouths became parched after a while.

Chen Yang and the others had no intention of meeting Yuan Tan, and they did not provide water and food, which made Yuan Tan and others feel even more uncomfortable.

Feng Ji and Xin Ping were in a more miserable situation than Yuan Tan. They were about to faint, thirsty and hungry.

In the evening, when the sun went down, the hot feeling disappeared.

Yuan Tan thought in his heart that he had finally recovered, but another despair came to his mind, that is, they were so hungry that their stomachs were pressed against their backs.

"General... General Chen!"

Yuan Tan finally saw Chen Yang walking near the school grounds, he yelled quickly, and was so excited that he was about to cry.

Chen Yang looked around, pretending to be surprised: "Ah! I'm so sorry, Eldest Young Master, I'm too busy today, so I forgot to arrange for you."

Yuan Tan cursed fiercely in his heart, this is not forgetting, but deliberately ignoring.

Before the sun went down, Yuan Tan saw Chen Yang leisurely appearing on the school field many times, sometimes holding water and sometimes food, but ignored him.

He didn't dare to complain, so he could only beg: "General Chen, can you give us something to eat and drink before taking me to see the prime minister?"

Chen Yang said generously: "Of course it's no problem, I'll send someone to bring food over!"

"Thank you, General!" Yuan Tan burst into tears of gratitude.

After a while, the food was served, and of course there was water.

The eyes of the soldiers around Yuan Tan gleamed, and they couldn't bear it any longer. They drank up all the water and stuffed food into their mouths desperately.

"General, what about me... mine?" Yuan Tan watched the soldiers around him eating and drinking, couldn't help swallowing, but found that he had nothing.

Chen Yang said with a smile: "The prime minister hosted a banquet to entertain the eldest son."

"Really?" Yuan Tan was overjoyed, but at the same time worried, would Cao Cao kill him?

Soon, he was taken to Cao Cao's account.

"Prime...Prime Minister!" Yuan Tan was still very nervous when he saw Cao Cao.

"Xiansi, please sit down!" Cao Cao said enthusiastically.

Xiansi is Yuan Tan's nickname.

Yuan Tan sat down slowly. He was about to eat something, but found that the table was empty, leaving only a bowl of water.

What the hell is a banquet?

He widened his eyes and comforted himself in his heart, the food must have not been served yet, so he could only endure the hunger and drink a sip of water first.

However, seeing Cao Cao's enthusiasm, Yuan Tan felt relieved.

"Xiansi, I heard that you were hunted down by Yuan Xi and the others?" Cao Cao said again.

Mentioning this, Yuan Tan's face was full of anger, and he said loudly: "Yuan Shang killed his father and seized power, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang worked together to harm me! I wanted to take back everything that belonged to me, but I didn't expect the two of them to join forces. It ended up like this.”

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, "Unexpectedly, after Yuan Benchu's death, your brotherhood would be like this. Yuan Benchu ​​and I are old acquaintances. Of course, you are welcome to surrender to me, and you can even help you get everything back."

Yuan Tan shook slightly, and looked at Cao Cao in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

Cao Cao said again: "However, I also have conditions. As long as you can help me get Jizhou, I will let you be the shepherd of Jizhou and manage the four northern states. How do you feel?"

"Prime Minister, are you serious?"

Yuan Tan was very moved by this condition. He was thinking in his heart that he could temporarily use Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shang and the others.

At that time, he will become the shepherd of Jizhou and lead the north again, and Cao Cao will not be able to control him, and he will avenge Li Yang once again.

"What the prime minister said is of course true."

Without waiting for Cao Cao's response, Chen Yang said first, "Ye City is difficult to attack, and we are helpless. I don't know if you have a solution, my lord?"

Yuan Tan thought about it seriously for a moment, how could he have any solution?What's more, Feng Ji and Xin Ping are not here, so I don't know how to respond for a while.

"My lord, you don't say a word, do you want to save Yecheng? Could it be that your surrender was fake, and you just wanted to use us to help you kill Brother Yuan Xi?" Chen Yang said again.

That's what Yuan Tan thought, of course he couldn't admit it, and said sincerely, "I...I just have no choice, but I'm absolutely sincere in surrendering. If you don't believe me, Prime Minister, you can ask me to do anything?"

"Really?" Chen Yang asked again.

"It must be true, what do you want me to do?"

"Then that's the best way. I have something I want you to help with. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Ah... good, good!"

Yuan Tan couldn't figure out what Chen Yang wanted to do for a while, so he nodded in agreement.

Chen Yang said again: "Okay, eldest son, you can go down and rest, we can talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Cao Cao also waved his hand and ordered Yuan Tan to be taken down.

"No, I haven't..."

Yuan Tan was dumbfounded, isn't this a banquet for entertainment?

I just drank a bowl of water and didn't eat anything!

Even so, Yuan Tan didn't dare to resist and let the people around him take him down.
