Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 437: Huang Zu breaks through the siege and Guiyang City is defeated
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce's expression and understood what he meant instantly.

After all, Gan Ning was Huang Zu's subordinate before, so he might miss his old friendship and let him go.

Although this situation should never happen, it is still necessary to ensure that nothing goes wrong for such an important matter.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly when he thought of this: "Okay, let's do what you said, Bo Fu. To be on the safe side, we can also arrange ambushes in these places in advance."

Having said this, Zhou Yu pointed out a few more locations on the map.

Sun Ce nodded and went to arrange the manpower.

……

After nightfall, a gap opened in the north gate of Guiyang City, and a group of cavalry poured out.

There are a total of 21 people in this cavalry. The hoofs of the horses each ride are wrapped in cloth to reduce the sound made when running.

The leader of this cavalry team was none other than Huang Zu.

Huang Zu was careful along the way. In order to avoid being discovered, they didn't even dare to use torches. They could only move forward slowly under the weak moonlight.

Looking at his stumbling men, Huang Zu whispered: "Keep on holding on, as long as we enter the dense forest over there, we can light the torch!"

Everyone nodded and continued on their way.

Sun Ce, who had been hiding in the dense forest for a long time, heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Jiang Dongjun, who stopped quietly, looked at a few sparse black figures in the distance and felt a little excited in the south.

When they thought that Huang Zu was among those dark shadows, they felt that the capture of Guiyang City was just around the corner.

Even Sun Ce, who had always been calm, was a little excited at this time.

Seeing the black shadow getting closer and closer, Sun Ce shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"

Following Sun Ce's order, dense arrows were shot out from the dense forest.

Huang Zu and his group were caught off guard. Of the 21 people, there were only seven or eight left in an instant, still riding on horseback.

Of course, among those who survived, Huang Zu was naturally included.

When Huang Zu saw an ambush in front of him, he immediately thought that there might be a spy in the city: "My son, Sun Ce, you are going too far!"

After Sun Ce heard about Huang Zu's business, he was immediately overjoyed: "I really asked Gong Jin to make it right. This guy Huang Zu really led his troops to break out of the encirclement."

After muttering something in his heart, Sun Ce rushed to kill even more energetically.

After Huang Zu calmed down, he became more and more frightened as he thought about it.

But he didn't tell anyone about his escape route. How could someone ambush here in advance?

"Could it be that Zhou Gongjin has the power of heaven and man to see through my actions?"

Huang Zu was so frightened at this time that he didn't care anymore and started running away randomly.

At this time, Sun Ce also led his men to rush out and killed Huang Zu's men all on their backs.

But when Sun Ce led his men to raise the torch, they discovered that Huang Zu was not among the people killed in front of them.

Sun Ce frowned and asked in a low voice: "Are there just so many people?"

"Young Master, there are indeed only so many people!" a soldier responded.

Sun Ce frowned: "I clearly heard about Huang Zu's business just now. Why is he missing? Find him!"

Because Sun Ce ambush here in advance, he did not bring horses.

Each of Huang Zu's horses was injured and could not be ridden temporarily.

This resulted in Sun Ce and the others having to follow the fire and search slowly.

But until dawn, they could not find Huang Zu.In desperation, Sun Ce could only ask people to continue searching, but he returned to the camp with a gloomy face and more than 20 corpses.

When Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce coming back with more than 20 corpses, he couldn't help but smiled and stepped forward and asked: "How is it, Bo Fu, where is Huang Zu?"

Sun Ce was a little embarrassed when he heard this and said, "He ran away."

"Huh? Ran away?" Zhou Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.

Originally, he was thinking that whether Zhou Yu captured Huang Zu alive or killed Huang Zu, he could use this to make a fuss and get the defenders in Guiyang City to surrender.

But now, Huang Zu has run away, which makes it a little difficult to handle.

Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu's face was not very good, so he asked a little apologetically: "Gong Jin, what should we do now?"

When Zhou Yu heard this, he thought for a while and then said: "For the current plan, the only way to treat a dead horse is to use it as a living horse doctor."

"Bo Fu, you send people to drag these corpses and bring them to Guiyang City. I will personally persuade the defenders in Guiyang City to surrender."

What Zhou Yu is thinking now is that there are only two possibilities if Huang Zu did not die last night.

The first possibility is that Huang Zu successfully escaped and went to look for reinforcements.

According to Zhou Yu's speculation, if Huang Zu went to find reinforcements, he would return with the first group of troops in two or three days.

At that time, the defenders in Guiyang City still had some fighting capacity, so Jiangdong Army would face the risk of being flanked.

So what Zhou Yu had to do was to use his eloquence to make the defenders in the city think that Huang Zu was dead. In this case, the defenders would have a great chance of surrendering to Kaicheng.

The second possibility is that Huang Zu returned to Guiyang City after running away.

If this is the case, it would actually be easier to handle.

Huang Zu must have been frightened by what happened last night.

As long as Zhou Yu analyzes the pros and cons, Huang Zu will naturally surrender.

……

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce came to Guiyang City with the corpses of the Guiyang defenders.

"People in the city, listen, we have killed all the reinforcements sent by you, and the leader Huang Zu has also been killed, so you should stop making unnecessary resistance and surrender quickly."

The faces of the defenders on the city wall were uglier than the last.

The lieutenants were also at a loss at this time.

Huang Zu asked them to persist for two days, but that was only after Huang Zu successfully broke through.

Now that Huang Zu was killed, do they still need to persist?

Especially in this city, there is no water.

The early Kaicheng surrender and the late Kaicheng surrender are both surrenders. If so, why do we still have to suffer?
After some discussion, the lieutenants guarding the city hung up the white flag and opened the city to surrender.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the white flag hanging up.

Originally, he thought that he would need to spend a lot of time talking before he could persuade the defenders in the city to surrender.

Unexpectedly, he only said one word and the defenders in the city surrendered.

When Sun Ce saw this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "As expected of Gong Jin, he made them surrender with just one sentence."

As the city gate opened, Jiangdong's army entered Guiyang City one after another.

At this point, Guiyang City was destroyed.
