When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 496: Conquering Yecheng and still being filial, it's really too filial (four thousand)

"Jia Wenhe!"

"Flood Yecheng!"

Unlike Shen Pei's anger, the guards in Yecheng were truly horrified when they heard the news. Some of them were so frightened that they trembled all over and couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands, which fell to the ground with a clang.

If Shen Pei had not been present, they would probably have been in chaos.

However, the fear in people's hearts could not be eliminated by Shen Pei alone.

Shen Pei tried to comfort everyone in the city, saying that Yuan Shao's reinforcements were on the way, that the danger in Jizhou would be resolved if they held out for a few more days, and that he would definitely find a good way out for everyone by then.

Relying on the prestige he had accumulated over a long period of time, Shen Pei was finally able to temporarily stabilize everyone.

However, a wave of unrest has occurred again.

Shen Rong hurried over to report: "Uncle, something terrible has happened! Su You and his troops are trying to open the South Gate!"

".Rong'er, don't panic. This is within my expectations. I replaced the captain guarding the South Gate early on. Su You can't defeat the captain of the city gate in a short time. I will go and stop Su You immediately." Shen Pei seemed to have thought of something. He stopped and said, "Rong'er, you must keep an eye on the East Gate."

"promise."

Shen Rong's face was full of sincerity, but when Shen Pei turned around, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. Yuan Benchu's situation was already over, who would be willing to die for him? Uncle, uncle, I think you are old and your eyes are blurry.

South Gate.

Looking at the soldiers of the South Gate Captain, Su You wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes. The solemnity became more and more serious and soon turned into panic and anxiety.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself: Not good.

Damn Shen Zhengnan! This guy must have discovered my plan. If I don't hurry up, it will be too late!
However, the more people fear something, the more likely it will come to them.

Just as Su You kept urging his soldiers to attack, a cold shout came from behind him.

"Su You, you are so brave!"

To Su You, this voice was so familiar that it made him shiver. He gritted his teeth and looked towards the source of the voice. Sure enough, the person who appeared behind him was Shen Pei who led the troops.

"Mr. Shen, I can explain." Su You forced a smile towards Shen Pei.

Shen Pei remained unmoved. He gave an order and the soldiers swarmed forward.

When the captain of the South Gate saw Shen Pei coming to help, he was delighted and shouted, "Brothers, Shen Pei is here!"

The morale of the soldiers of the South Gate Captain was high, and Su You was quickly defeated in the face of the pincer attack from the front and back. He was tied up tightly with hemp ropes and sent to Shen Pei.

Su You was dejected, as if he had lost his soul.

Shen Pei said coldly: "Who are the people who are plotting a rebellion with you? Tell me quickly! Perhaps I will give you a lighter sentence!"

"Are you serious?" Su You trembled and raised his head hurriedly, his eyes full of desire to survive.

Shen Pei said loudly: "A gentleman's word is as good as gold!"

"Okay." Su You gritted his teeth and said one name after another.

Hearing these names, Shen Pei heaved a sigh of relief. He had felt that these people were a little strange before, so he paid special attention to them. The biggest bandit leader, Su You, had been controlled, so it seemed unlikely that there would be internal strife. Now all they had to do was hold on to Yecheng.
The next moment, the anxious messenger interrupted Shen Pei's thoughts. Shen Pei didn't take it seriously. Even if Huang Zhong and Guan Yu wanted to flood Yecheng, wouldn't it take another seven days?
What crisis could there be right now?
However, the development of the situation was far beyond the expectations of Shen Pei and others. The messenger said impatiently: "Shen Gongshi, the East Gate has fallen! The rebels are coming in!"

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Shen Pei and the others. Their ears were buzzing, their pupils shrank sharply into a point, and their heads were blank.

East Gate lost???

How can it be!

The first person to break free from his shock was Shen Pei. He rushed to the messenger, without caring about the manners of a scholar, grabbed the messenger by the collar, and asked in a stern voice: "What are you talking about!!!"

"Chenggong. Chenggong, I said that the Dongdong Gate has been lost."

"fall."

Shen Pei was like an old man who had suffered a great blow. His face turned extremely pale and his hands seemed to have lost their strength. He let go of the collar of the messenger and suddenly fell down.

He staggered back several steps, mumbling something incoherent.

Just as Shen Pei was about to fall to the ground accidentally, the soldiers behind him reacted quickly and rushed forward to support Shen Pei.

Everyone asked hurriedly: "Are you okay with the investigation?"

"I'm fine." Shen Pei shook his head at everyone, then refused others' help, stood firmly, and finally came to his senses from the shock.

You have to know that the East Gate is under the charge of Shen Rong, so it must be foolproof.

If it is lost, there is only one possibility now.

That is a feint to the east and attack in the west!
Shen Pei frowned and his eyes stabbed at Su You like a knife.

Someone must have instructed Su You to capture the South Gate to divert his attention!

Hateful, really hateful!

Su Youcai broke free from his shock. When he looked up, he saw Shen Pei's eyes that wished he could get rid of him as soon as possible. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he spoke tremblingly from his throat, "Mr. Shen, didn't you say you would give me a lighter sentence? You...you can't go back on your word!"

"Breaking your promise? You were the one who deceived me first! Tell me, who ordered you to launch a feint attack on the South Gate?!"

"what?"

Su You was completely confused. What did it mean to be instructed by someone? What did it mean to feint? He was clearly raising an uprising with real weapons!
And slow!

Su You suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that Shen Zhengnan is lumping me in with the people who captured the East Gate? !
I don't even know them?!

How could I have such strength!

A drop of cold sweat the size of a soybean oozed out of Su You's forehead, and he hurriedly shouted: "Unfair, unfair!"

However, before he could finish his words, Shen Pei shook his head in disappointment, "At this point, you still refuse to tell me the reason. Even if you are abominable, you can still be considered a hero. Let's send this hero off."

The soldiers standing behind Su You held ring-handled swords in their hands, as if they had been waiting for Shen Pei's words for a long time. As Shen Pei's voice fell, the soldiers immediately drew out their ring-handled swords. Even though Su You begged for mercy repeatedly, it was of no avail. The soldiers cut off Su You's head with one sword.

Su You's head rolled several times on the ground and rolled into a dark corner.

Shen Pei withdrew his gaze and ordered, "Brothers, if the city survives, the people will survive. If the city is destroyed, the people will die. Follow me to repel the enemy!"

The generals looked at each other in bewilderment. Let them go and repel Guan Yu and Huang Zhong?

Can they defeat Guan Yu and Huang Zhong?

Can't do it.

Just thinking about several of them made my scalp tingle and I began to want to back out.

But in the end, Shen Pei's supporters were the majority. They shouted "Retreat the enemy, retreat the enemy!" and followed Shen Pei's footsteps. The others could only be swept forward.

"Hey, generals, I am the one who just opened the city gate."

Seeing Shen Rong's extremely flattering look, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan and others couldn't help but feel dazed. They thought it would take some time for the city to fall into chaos, and they never expected that the east gate would be opened so easily?
The person who opened the door was actually Shen Pei's adopted son?
Guan Yu looked at Shen Rong's face and couldn't help thinking that a tiger father will have a dog son. Isn't Shen Rong in front of him a dog son? After all, uncle is also a father. From a personal perspective, Guan Yu looked down on Shen Rong and even disdained him. He didn't want to have too much conversation with such a person.

However, as far as Shen Rong opening the east gate was concerned, it was indeed beneficial to them, so Guan Yu had to hide his contempt.

Compared with Guan Yu, Huang Zhong seems much more tactful.

He also looked down on Shen Rong, but his attitude was far from contemptuous. He could roughly guess what Guan Yu was thinking.

Therefore, Huang Zhong spoke first and said to Shen Rong: "This matter is all thanks to Captain Shen. Please be at ease, Captain Shen. I have made a clear note of this matter and I will record the captain's contribution truthfully."

"Hahaha, then I'll have to trouble you, General Huang!" Shen Rong's words were full of excitement. Who is Huang Zhong? He is the main general this time! Even if his ranking is not as good as Guan Yu, from the fact that Guan Yu has to be Huang Zhong's deputy general, doesn't it just show that Huang Zhong is far more respected than Guan Yu? !

By boarding Huang Zhong's ship, perhaps we can go one step further? !

If Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan and others were not present, and they all looked like first-class warriors, Shen Rong would have laughed out loud long ago.

Suddenly, Shen Rong seemed to have thought of something. His eyes flashed with brilliance and he said excitedly: "General Huang, I know the terrain of Yecheng very well. Why don't you let me be your guide?!"

Huang Zhong did not agree immediately, but looked at Guan Yu instead.

Guan Yu immediately understood, and his eyes fell on Shen Rong's face, which made Shen Rong feel a little scared.

After a moment, Guan Yu retracted his gaze, walked to Huang Zhong, nodded at him, and said in a voice that only he and Huang Zhong could hear: "From the look of this man, he doesn't look like he's lying."

"Since the two generals have no objection, then Captain Shen will lead the way."

Huang Zhong responded immediately.

This made Shen Rong extremely excited. In this way, wouldn't he be valued by Guan Yu and Huang Zhong?
Stable, stable!
Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan and others led a large number of soldiers and gradually captured the houses and buildings in Yecheng.

Shen Rong also led the way with all his heart and soul, just as he had said before.

The resistance of the city guards was not really an obstacle for them.

The disparity between the two sides' soldiers was so great that even Shen Rong, who had surrendered, felt terrified.

Not to mention the soldiers under the command of Huang Zhong and Guan Yu, even the soldiers under Xiahou Sima looked well-managed.

He originally thought that Yuan Shao's personal army was the strongest in the world, but he never expected that they were not as good as a Sima.

Even if you are mentally prepared, it is still far less shocking than seeing it up close with your own eyes.

He was extremely grateful that the city gate was opened.

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong's army moved very quickly and soon recaptured most of Ye City.

Only Shen Pei was left, leading his defeated troops to retreat to the government office in Yecheng.

Seeing that Shen Pei was reluctant to surrender, Shen Rong was delighted. Wasn't his chance coming again?

So he came before Huang Zhong, patted his chest, and said righteously: "General Huang, in my opinion, Shen Congshi was confused for a moment and did not see the mighty power of heaven. It would be better if I could make a call so that Shen Congshi would abandon the dark and join the light!"

"." Guan Yu couldn't help but glance at Shen Rong. Let Shen Zhengnan surrender? With him?
But Guan Yu didn't say anything after all.

Huang Zhong laughed and said, "Good. Captain Shen, thank you for your help."

"Yes! I will definitely live up to General Huang's trust!"

Shen Rong saluted very solemnly with his fists clasped. If an outsider saw his expression, they would think that Shen Rong was a loyal and faithful minister of the Han Dynasty!
"Mr. Shen, most of Yecheng has been lost. Is it necessary for us to hold on? I heard that Military Advisor Xun is alive and well. Mr. Shen, what do you think? Should we surrender?"

Looking at the aggressive troops of Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, even the most loyal guard under Shen Pei could not help but raise questions.

These words struck a chord with the crowd. Yes, why? Previously, they could still resist relying on the city walls, but now that the city walls were gone, they were almost defeated in the face of Guan Yu and Huang Zhong's troops.

Those who were killed and wounded were killed, and those who surrendered surrendered.

In a daze, they retreated to the government office.

Even though the walls of the government office were strong and tall, they were far inferior to the city walls. It was only a matter of time before Huang Zhong and Guan Yu captured the government office.

Shen Pei sighed and said, "Envoy Yuan has done me a favor. I cannot surrender just like that. If you want to leave, please do as you please."

"This"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. All the soldiers present were thinking of Shen Pei's kindness.

It was a little difficult to say what they just said. If they really had to abandon Shen Pei, they would be in a dilemma for a moment.

Just when everyone was hesitating, a familiar voice broke in.

"Shen Zhengnan, listen carefully! General Huang has come here to recapture Jizhou and restore peace to Jizhou. I advise you not to be stubborn and surrender now, maybe you can save your life!"

Everyone's face turned dark, and Shen Pei even covered his chest with his hands.

All because this voice is too familiar.

Isn’t it Shen Rong, the commander of the East Gate?

A soldier who couldn't understand the atmosphere blurted out, "This voice belongs to Shen Gongshi Youzi, right?"

Shen Pei's face turned blue and purple, and he pretended to be calm and said, "No, this person is not my adopted son. It must be Jia Wenhe's plot! I think Jia Wenhe found a person who is good at ventriloquism, and his purpose is to confuse us! What a cruel heart!"

Everyone thought about it carefully and nodded. If it was Jia Xu's strategy to attack the heart, then it did make sense. Didn't you see Shen Gong gnashing his teeth and blood flowing from the corners of his mouth?
However, this idea was soon shattered.

The person shouting outside told Shen Pei everything he had done before, even describing his daily habits in detail.

How could the person who could say such a thing not be Shen Pei's adopted son? !

Under the gaze of everyone, Shen Pei's expression became increasingly ugly.

The following sentence made Shen Pei's blood boil and his throat feel sweet.

"To be honest, I was the one who opened the East Gate. How could I ignore the opportunity to turn from darkness to light? It would be better for you to surrender now. You can still keep your high position and you can still be my respected uncle. Isn't that wonderful!"

"Wow!"

Shen Pei couldn't bear it any longer, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, causing everyone to panic.

Who would have thought that at this moment, the person who was shouting actually burst into laughter, "My fellow warriors, Shen Chengshi must be vomiting blood, hurry up, let's rush in!"

The Jizhou soldiers clenched their fists when they heard this. They thought that the Youzi who was investigating the case was too "filial" and laughed out loud!

Shen Pei raised his hand tremblingly towards the tightly closed door of the mansion, cursing, "You idiot."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Pei became so angry that his head tilted and he fainted.

"!" Jizhou soldiers were sweating profusely, "Examine the officer!"

"boom"

The next moment, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong's troops broke in through the gate.
