Chapter 389
Yuan Shu is the legitimate son of the Yuan family. If the real second-generation successor is Yuan Ji, then he can be regarded as Yuan Ji's spare tire.

This is not bad, at least the resources he gets are second only to Yuan Ji.

Having received an aristocratic education from a young age, Yuan Shu's tastes were somewhat extravagant.

I don’t even like sorghum sweets, I only love honey water.

"Your Majesty, Shouchun is now surrounded, supplies are scarce, and honey water is gone." Shaofu Yuan Yin replied helplessly.

"All the honey is gone?" Yuan Shu couldn't believe it.

As my favorite thing, I usually have the largest reserve of this stuff, after all, I never know when I will want to drink it.

If this is not available, then the shortage of supplies will be very serious.

"Indeed, there is none." Yuan Yin shook his head, "There may be some other malt candies..."

There is still some food left, so it can be sustained for a while, but it's hard to say how long it can be sustained.

The only thing that can be expected now is reinforcements from Runan, or Cao Cao sending troops from Xiapi to support.

But in fact, Runan is now being fiercely attacked by Taishi Ci. How can he have time to provide support if he is too busy to take care of himself?

What Yuan Shu didn't know was that Mei Cheng and Chen Lan, as defenders, were already thinking about surrendering...

Of course, at this stage, they are not really planning to surrender, but are pretending to surrender to gain fighter opportunities.

At least, get a chance to run away.

Yuan Shu's broken ship can be seen at a glance.

The two of them had also considered that if Liu Bei allowed them to retain military power, it wouldn't matter if they temporarily surrendered to him. After all, they were powerful, but they were already equipped with both civil and military forces. They were afraid that they would not be reused in the past.

If he is not allowed to retain military power, then he will find a way to escape and join Yuan Shu when the time comes, or he will find a hilltop to separate himself from, or even go south to defect to Sun Ce. It all depends on the situation.

From another perspective, the two of them do have the idea of ​​​​submitting to Liu Bei, but they are reluctant to part with the military power in their hands.

In today's troubled times, military generals no longer have military power in their hands, and they don't speak forcefully.

After making up their minds, the two sent envoys to contact Tai Shici, saying they were willing to do anything but wanted to retain military power.

Of course Taishi Ci refused, and anyone who came would have to accept the reorganization.

Otherwise, if the Sangong and Jiuqing from other forces come to our side, can they continue to be the Sangong and Jiuqing?

All civil and military personnel under Yuan Shao were reorganized, and some generals were even demoted to become military princes.

People of the same level as Mei Cheng and Chen Lan can be wiped out with a single charge. Do you still want to continue to be generals?
"It doesn't seem possible. I really didn't expect them to be so strong!" Mei Cheng said angrily.

"It's not surprising. Last year they leveled Hebei and occupied Yanzhou. This year, as expected, Jingzhou will also be captured, and Yuzhou will definitely not be able to keep it." Chen Lan shook his head.

Whether to be annihilated or surrender, the two must make a decision.

In the end, they decided to feign surrender, and then found a way to break out during the gap between them.

Instead of going to Yuan Shu, he planned to go south to join Sun Ce.

After all, both of them are from Lujiang, so they naturally hope not to stray too far from home.

"Oh, they actually want to submit?" Taishi Ci nodded when he heard the messenger came to report again, "I understand, let them open the city gate, let the soldiers put down their weapons, and wait for reorganization."

There is nothing wrong with reorganization. After all, the court will use its talents. As long as they are sincerely loyal and talented enough, they can continue to be partial generals and serve as generals.

If you don't have this talent, you can practice hard for a few years and you won't be a beggar at the age of 50 or [-].

Let's just say that Huang Zhong is over 50 years old, and everyone is still fighting on the front line.

From a military prince who just became an official to the current Zhonglang General, he is still striving to reach the top at his age. Why are others so embarrassed not to work harder?
"General, be careful of fraud!" At this time, Feng Ji came forward to persuade him.

Feng Ji is an old minister of Yuan Shao, and he can also be regarded as an old member of the Yuan family.

Now Taishi Ci's military advisor was sent to deal with Yuan Shu.

I have to say, this is more or less the same as submitting a certificate.

But if Feng Ji really cooperates, then he will naturally be able to get rid of his background as an "old minister of the Yuan family".Of course, a person who has betrayed his master cannot be washed away, but it just so happens that the court can use him easily.

"How do you say this?" Taishi Ci felt that Feng Ji was a little worried and had already asked him to put down his weapons and open the city gate to accept the reorganization.

Now that Pingyu has been completely surrounded by them, Chen Lan and Meicheng are not specifically guarding here. Instead, they have been retreating steadily since they went south, and finally retreated here.

They have no way out. If they don't surrender, they can only be annihilated, let alone follow a set of procedures. How can they resist?

"These two people wanted to retain military power before, but now they suddenly agreed to submit. It's so simple." Feng Ji shook his head.

Unlike generals who come from ordinary people, generals who come from aristocratic families are not so easy to let go of their power.

I really have no choice but to accept the reorganization, and I have to find a way to discuss the conditions more. Only when I have almost enough chips can I really agree.

But Meicheng and Chen Lan agreed too simply, and Feng Ji didn't believe that they were sincerely submitting.

"In that case, what should we do?" Tai Shici asked.

He still couldn't trust Fengji unconditionally, so he just listened to it for the time being!

Besides, the counselors in the army are not just Feng Ji. Four or five people join the army, but Feng Ji is responsible for the general direction of planning.

It would be better to say that this is not the case in any army. One mastermind is responsible for making general plans, and other counselors will improve them.

Feng Ji also knew this, so he expressed his opinion.

After some discussion, everyone felt that Chen Lan and Meicheng did have problems, and at the same time, Feng Ji's suggestions made sense.

On the day of surrender, the door to Pingyu was indeed opened, and the opponents came out one after another, without weapons in their hands.

When Feng Ji saw this, he was even a little confused: Could the other party really intend to surrender?

When I got closer, I realized that these were common people wearing armor, including those on horseback. Chen Lan and Meicheng were not here at all.

Taishi Cizheng was confused, but there was movement from the north gate, and the enemy troops began to break through.

It turned out that Chen Lan had calculated correctly that on the day of surrender, Taishi Ci would mobilize heavy troops, but this would reduce the number of soldiers at other city gates.

They found a group of common people to put on tattered armor and the like, and then let them go out to "accept surrender."

It happened that Tai Shici asked them to put down their weapons, and all the weapons were saved.

The army quickly broke through, first heading north, then east, and finally south, mainly moving irregularly.

As a result, before reaching Shiliting, they were surrounded by an army, led by Ma Teng.

"You two, where are you going?" Ma Teng looked at the two of them.

Secretly, he calculated the timing very accurately and asked himself and Huang Zhong to guard the North Gate and East Gate Shiliting Pavilion respectively.

The opponent broke through the encirclement for ten miles, thinking it was safe, but in the end they were blocked.

Not to mention, Tai Shici's headquarters was chasing after him.

"This..." Chen Lan didn't know what to say. He really didn't expect that the two men's false surrender would be seen through.

No, it is normal to see through it, but it is so shocking to see through it so completely.

They did not dare to fight Ma Teng. When Taishi Ci went south, their two armies were suppressed and beaten by Ma Teng's heavy cavalry.

After failing to perform well in Jizhou, Ma Teng plans to perform well in the Central Plains.

In particular, the formation of heavy cavalry also requires various data, and it will not work without fighting a few battles.

Seeing Taishi Ci chasing them, the two of them decided to surrender. They couldn't run away, but they could still get a lighter sentence by surrendering.

At the same time, on the tenth day after being surrounded by Sun Ce, Yuan general Lei Bo attacked, successfully hijacked Yuan Shu, and surrendered outside the city!
 Yes, the two brothers share the same fate...

  If Liu Zhang didn't surrender on his own, he would probably have been kidnapped by his subordinates, so Liu Chan's actions are understandable.
