Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 64: Wancheng fell, Zhang Xiu surrendered!
Yuan Shu really hates Yuan Shao now!
Not only did this bastard break with him, he even called on all the princes in the world to attack him together, simply wanting to kill him!
You have to know that among the four armies, except for Liu Bei's which can be ignored, the remaining three are extremely powerful.

Especially Sun Ce!
This was the most courageous warrior he had ever had.
Now he has become his enemy.

And they also took away Danyang and Lujiang counties!

He must kill all these traitors!
"Your Majesty, think twice!"

Hearing that Yuan Shu was planning to face the four armies head-on, Yang Hong was immediately shocked and quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Sun Ce has rebelled, and the six counties of Jiangdong have been lost. It is unwise to fight at this moment!"

"Your Majesty should now avoid the enemy's attack and hold on to Yangzhou. At the same time, you should contact Sun Ce and offer him great benefits to make him surrender again, so as to repel the foreign enemies!"

It is actually the Sun family that has been intimidating foreign enemies all along.

Without the Sun family and Sun Ce, it would be too risky for Yuan Shu to defeat Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and Liu Bei head-on.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu angrily said, "I am the Son of Heaven! You want me to bow down to that bastard Sun Ce?"

"Even if he rebels against me, so what! Without the Sun family, I still have hundreds of thousands of troops and countless brave generals! Can I not survive without him, Sun Ce?"

"Besides, I have the destiny, there is no way I will fail!"

The pride in Yuan Shu's heart would not allow him to bow to Sun Ce.

He also doesn't think he will lose!
Yang Hong wanted to persuade him again, but Yuan Shu had already issued another order: "Where are Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Le Jiu?"

"The general is here!"

Five generals stepped forward upon hearing the noise.

Yuan Shu said: "I order you to lead the army to meet the enemy. You must repel all the invading enemies to boost the prestige of our country!"

"The last general takes command!"

The five generals obeyed the order without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Yang Hong sighed and closed his eyes.

My heart sank to the bottom.

……

Nanyang County, outside Wancheng.

The 40,000-strong army was divided into eight square formations, standing in neat and solemn rows on the banks of the Yu River. It was a dark mass, silent and soundless, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

The flags embroidered with the word "Cao" fluttered in the wind.

It also added a bit of murderous spirit to the army.

This army is the army that Cao Cao sent to attack Zhang Xiu!

A path was seen cut through the army formation, and Cao Cao rode out on a white horse, accompanied by his eldest son Cao Ang, his nephew Cao Anmin, and Dian Wei. They arrived in front of the army and looked across at the tightly closed gates of Wancheng.

"Dian Wei, go challenge him."

Cao Cao instructed Dian Wei beside him, his face full of indifference, "Give them one last chance. If they don't surrender, we will attack the city immediately!"

"By then, all men, women, old and young in the city will be slaughtered, leaving no one alive!"

There was murderous intent in his words.

This time he personally led the troops to attack Zhang Xiu and had already lost a lot of soldiers and horses. If he continued to attack Wancheng, the casualties would only be more serious.

He has sent people to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender many times, and now his patience has reached its limit. If Zhang Xiu does not surrender, he will attack Wancheng by force and then massacre the entire city as a warning!
"Yes! Lord!"

Dian Wei spoke in a muffled voice, placed the double halberds in his hands on both sides of the horse's back, and then rode alone to the foot of Wancheng.

"Listen, Zhang Xiu! My lord has been ordered to punish the rebels. You are doomed to fail. Why don't you quickly leave the city and surrender!" "If you don't surrender within half an incense stick, the army will attack the city immediately!"

"The day the city is captured is the day for massacre!"

Dian Wei had a very loud voice, as loud as thunder. All the soldiers on the city wall could hear his words clearly, and they couldn't help but change color.

While Cao Cao was listening to Dian Wei's words, he smiled and asked the two younger generations beside him, "Zi Xiu, An Min, do you think Zhang Xiu will surrender?"

Cao Anmin heard this and said, "Now that the army has surrounded the city, Zhang Xiu is just a turtle in a jar. Apart from surrendering, what other choice does he have?"

Cao Ang also said: "An Min is right. Zhang Xiu is not a fool. He knows he can't win and will not defend the city to death. He will definitely surrender to my father.

While the two were talking, the gate of Wancheng suddenly opened.

A middle-aged man in a brocade robe with ropes tied around his body walked out of the city, and behind him followed a group of civil and military officials, all of whom were also tied up, and each of them looked a little dejected.

Being tied up and leaving the city is a sign of surrender!
Seeing this, Cao Cao laughed loudly, pointed his whip at Cao Ang and Cao Anmin and said, "It seems that you guessed right. After entering the city, there will be a huge reward!"

After saying this, he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and spurred the horse forward.

The middle-aged man in brocade robe who was leading the group saw Cao Cao and looked gloomy. He lowered his head and said, "The traitor Zhang Xiu, please surrender to the Grand Marshal."

This person is Zhang Xiu who is guarding Wancheng!
Just as Cao Ang and Cao Anmin said, Wancheng was under siege and it was only a matter of time before the city fell. Cao Cao also threatened to massacre the entire city if they did not surrender. Under such pressure, Zhang Xiu had no choice but to lead his officers and staff out of the city to surrender.

When faced with Zhang Xiu's request for surrender, Cao Cao just narrowed his eyes and looked at him, unmoved.

Zhang Xiu hesitated for a moment, then slowly knelt down under the gaze of everyone, bowed his head and said: "Rebel Zhang Xiu, please let the Grand Marshal enter the city!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's mouth curled up slightly, and then he opened his mouth and ordered: "Come here, help untie General Zhang."

Upon hearing this, the guards on both sides immediately stepped forward and untied the ropes on Zhang Xiu.

But before Zhang Xiu could react, Cao Cao threw the reins in his hand into his arms and said condescendingly: "General Zhang, lead the horse into the city for me."

Hearing Cao Cao's slightly sarcastic tone, Zhang Xiu felt extremely humiliated.

But he didn't dare to show any sign of it, he took the reins silently, and said with a forced smile: "Yes, Grand Marshal."

But at this moment, a burly man who was tied up in the crowd suddenly stood up and shouted at Cao Cao: "Cao thief! How dare you insult my general like this!"

This man is as strong as Dian Wei, and you can tell at first glance that he is a veteran warrior.

"presumptuous!"

Dian Wei became furious when he heard this, and kicked him to the ground, then took out his double halberds and was about to kill him on the spot, but at this time, Cao Cao spoke up to stop him.

"Wait!"

Cao Cao cast his eyes towards the general and praised him, "You are not afraid of death in order to protect your master. You are truly a brave man. I wonder what you call a brave man?"

"Hu Che'er!"

"Good! Come, untie this warrior and reward him with a hundred gold coins!"

Cao Cao ordered, not hiding his admiration, and then said: "If you are interested, you can serve under me in the future."

Hu Che'er stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer.

He thought that he would be killed by Cao Cao if he jumped out to defend his general. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao not only did not kill him, but also rewarded him and even intended to recruit him.

Without waiting for Hu Che'er to reply, Cao Cao withdrew his gaze from him and said to Zhang Xiu, "General Zhang, why don't you hurry up and bring the horses?"

Zhang Xiu sighed, took the reins, and slowly walked towards Wancheng.
