The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 62 062 Persuade Bao Xun to Surrender
Yu Jin was a native of Juping in Mount Tai. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou, Bao Xin, Minister of Jinbei, recruited warriors. Yu Jin gathered a dozen brothers in his hometown, and they went to join Bao Xin and became Bao Xin's subordinates.

When fighting against the Yellow Turban, Bao Xin was impressed by Yu Jin's bravery and courage, and his ability to fight bravely, so he appointed him as the Sima of another department.

But the good times didn't last long. When Bao Xin led the crowd to chase the Yellow Turban bandits, he fell into a siege and was shot by an arrow from the Yellow Turban Army. He entrusted all his subordinates to Cao Cao. Cao Cao organized Bao Xin's subordinates, and Yu Jin and others were arrested. It was incorporated into Cao Hong's account, but his position was changed from Sima of the other department to head of the village.

Later, Yu Jin performed extremely well in the battle, and was appointed by Cao Cao as the army Sima, still under Cao Hong's subordinates.Although he was later promoted to the captain of the army because of the capture of Guangqi County, his degree of reuse was still inferior to Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan and others, and his treatment was even inferior to Le Jin and Li Dian.

This time Zhang Yan threw an olive branch to Yu Jin, Yu Jin seized the opportunity and decisively decided to surrender to Zhang Yan, and he also planned to use Changyi City as a gift to Zhang Yan.

Yu Jin led the five hundred cavalry, circled Changyi city for half a circle, and came to the north gate of Changyi city.

Today's Changyi City is tightly defended, with swords and guns bristling on the city walls, and complete bows and crossbows, which shows the tight defense.

Under the leadership of Yu Jin, Xuzhou soldiers came to the city of Changyi. The soldiers on the wall noticed the appearance of Xuzhou soldiers, and they were all nervous.

In order to occupy Xuzhou, Cao Cao took away all the elites, leaving very few garrisoned in the city. In the entire city of Changyi, there were only [-] soldiers, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. Facing the arrogant Xuzhou soldiers , there will inevitably be some worries.

Yu Jin reined in his horse and stopped all the cavalry outside the north gate. He rode his horse and took a few steps forward, and shouted to the tower: "Please come out and answer Bao Xun!"

Cao Bing in the city tower heard Yu Jin's voice, and turned their heads to look back at their army commander Bao Xun.

Bao Xun is eight feet long, with a black face and beard, and a strong physique. He is the Sima of these Cao soldiers.His father was Bao Xin, Minister of Jinbei, who was once Yu Jin's superior. Since Bao Xin's death in battle, all Bao Xin's followers were reorganized by Cao Cao, and Bao Xun and his family were also taken in by Cao Cao and placed in Changyi City.

"You have already surrendered to the Xuzhou soldiers, you are a traitor and a beggar, what else can you say?" Bao Xun walked to the city wall, glanced at Yu Jin under the city with disdain, and said loudly.

Yu Jin met Bao Xun when he was a general in Bao Xin's tent, and the two were still very good friends.Later, after Cao Cao reorganized Bao Xin's old department, Yu Jin fought with Cao Cao all the time, while Bao Xun was placed in Changyi City. The two rarely saw each other, but the early friendship became the eternal fetters of the two.

"Others don't understand me, don't you understand me? I came back here from Gaoping County all night and night, just to inform Lu Qian and let him take precautions early, but he actually relied on other people's words. , so he shot me with an arrow, and the two hundred cavalry I brought out with all my might did not die in the hands of Xuzhou soldiers, but died in the hands of my own people, how do you think I feel uncomfortable?"

Bao Xun frowned and asked, "Even if you didn't surrender last night, you were persecuted, but now you brought Xuzhou soldiers to the city, what is your intention? Do you dare to say that you didn't surrender Xuzhou soldiers?"

Yu Jin said: "I have surrendered now, and I am still their military guard captain. I have fought with Cao Cao in the past few years and made a lot of contributions, but what have I gained? There is only one captain! As soon as I surrendered to Zhang Yan, he made me a captain of the military guard, which shows how much he values ​​me. Now Yanzhou is empty, and Changyi is full of old, weak, sick and disabled. Xuzhou's army is on the way, and even General Cao Ren has been killed General Xiaoqi was defeated, and the [-]-strong army was wiped out. Why do you stick to Changyi with just these people? It would be better to open the city gate and surrender early, so as to avoid the suffering of swordsmen."

Hearing these words, Bao Xun was also in a state of turmoil. He glanced at the soldiers around him, and saw that their faces were already frightened.

Not only these Cao soldiers, but even he was worried. With these soldiers around him, it was simply impossible to resist the advance of Xuzhou soldiers.

Seeing that Bao Xun's face was a little moved, Yu Jin hurriedly said: "Uncle Ye, even I have surrendered, what else do you have to think about. Your father also went through life and death for Cao Cao, and if it wasn't for your father, Cao Cao has already become the ghost of the Yellow Turban Bandit, but look at how Cao Cao treats your Bao family now. As long as you open the city gate and let me in, once you occupy Changyi, you will be the first. Besides, you You are also a general, and General Xiaoqi is a person who loves talents. He will definitely use you again. Instead of following Cao Cao in obscurity, it is better to choose another master, and he will be famous all over the world in the future! You and I are brothers. How could I hurt you!"

With a sad expression on Bao Xun's face, he was still struggling and hesitating in his heart. He couldn't help thinking of the days he spent with Cao Cao in the past few years. It can indeed be described in four words: unknown.

When his father Bao Xin was alive, Cao Cao was polite to the Bao family, but after Bao Xin died in battle, Cao Cao placed the Bao family in Changyi City, and never cared about them again. Such a big contrast, It made Bao Xun extremely uncomfortable.

When Bao Xun was hesitating, Lu Qian suddenly appeared on the top of the city, and ordered with a vicious expression: "Fire the arrow, shoot the traitor to death!"

At Lu Qian's order, the guards on the city wall shot at Yu Jin one after another.

Yu Jin rode his horse to dodge, away from the range of the arrows, rushed to the top of the tower and shouted: "Little Lu Qian, you are too deceitful. When I break through this city, I will definitely cut off your dog's head!"

Lu Qian didn't respond, and only taught the archers how to shoot. Yu Jin couldn't find any bargains, so he turned his horse and left with the cavalry.

After Yu Jin retreated, Lu Qian heaved a sigh of relief. He turned his face to look at Bao Xun, and said with a sneer, "Bao Sima, let me wrong you for a few days, and then I will let you out after I kill Yu Jin."

As soon as the words fell, the relatives brought by Lu Qian rushed forward, directly pushed Bao Xun to the ground, and then tied Bao Xun to Wuhuada.

Bao Xun lay on the ground and yelled at Lu Qian: "My lord, what is my crime? Why did you tie me up?"

"Fortunately, I came in time so that you won't commit any serious crimes. However, if you are still stationed at the north gate, in case you listen to Yu Jin's slander, open the city gate, and let Yu Jin wait for someone to come in, then You have committed this heinous crime. Therefore, for the safety of Changyi City, I must arrest you first, and please forgive me." Lu Qian said.

"Lu Qian, how could you treat me like this? My Bao family..."

"If your Bao family hadn't received the Lord's gift, how could you be where you are today? You are not grateful, but you have a private meeting with the traitor Yu Jin here. If I didn't find out in time, I am afraid that you have already opened the city gate and let Yu Jin in! "

"You...you dare to say that about our Bao family? I..." Bao Xun said angrily.

"Gag his mouth and stop talking nonsense to me!" Lu Qian ordered.

The soldier hastily gagged Bao Xun's mouth, making Bao Xun speechless.

Lu Qian then ordered Bao Xun to be taken away, put in a big prison, and said to the soldiers guarding the city: "Nowadays is an extraordinary time, if anyone dares to have another heart, don't blame my ruthless subordinate Lu!"

When Cao soldiers saw Bao Xun being kidnapped, they were all trembling and dared not speak.

Lu Qian went down the tower, and after returning to the prefect's mansion, he was worried that the Bao family would make trouble, fearing that they would secretly communicate with Yu Jin because Bao Xun was imprisoned.

Therefore, Lu Qian didn't do anything, and kept going. He directly ordered all the members of the Bao family to be arrested and put in prison cells. The Bao family is the same.

Lu Qian thinks that this can prevent problems before they happen, but he doesn't want his actions to intensify the conflict. People who have a close relationship with Bao Xun obey Lu Qian on the surface, but they are all eager to move in private.

Yu Jin led his army back without success and returned to the forest where Zhang Yan was.

Zhang Yan has been closely watching Yu Jin's every move, and he already knew that Yu Jin's persuasion to surrender Bao Xun was fruitless.

After Jin returned, Zhang Yan seemed to be ignorant, and asked, "Lieutenant Yu, if we want to capture Changyi, is five hundred soldiers too little?"

Yu Jin shook his head and said, "Don't worry, general, these 500 people are enough. Now, general, just wait here with me. At night, someone will come to find you. At that time, my lord will be able to occupy Changyi without bloodshed."

Zhang Yan was skeptical, but he didn't say anything, just sat here with Yu Jin and waited.

While Zhang Yan and Yu Jin were waiting in the woods outside the city, there was an undercurrent in the city.

In the prison cell in Changyi City, Bao Xun was under strict surveillance, and no one was allowed to approach without Lu Qian's order.Ever since he was kidnapped, he knew nothing about the outside world.

In the evening, a jailer brought food, and the person in charge of guarding Bao Xun took the food from the jailer and sent the jailer away.

After the jailer left, those people began to eat and drink, but they didn't have Bao Xun's share.Bao Xun was angry and hungry, but he was bound here, and even his mouth was blocked, so he could only watch and stare.

Not long after, those in charge of guarding Bao Xun suddenly fell asleep one by one. Bao Xun faintly felt that something was wrong, and when he was wondering, the jailer who had brought in the food came in again.

The jailer took out the key of the cell from the guards, opened the door of the cell directly, and then came to Bao Xun's side, and while untying Bao Xun, he whispered: "Bao Sima, I'm here to rescue you!" .”

Bao Xun looked at the jailer, he didn't know him, and when the gag was removed from his mouth, he asked, "Who are you?"
