Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 154 Entering the City (1)

"When I saw your expression just now, there was a sense of sadness! I guessed that someone closely related to you must have suffered an accident. After hearing what you said just now, I guessed that Yuan Shu is no longer alive."

"I wasn't sure at first, but I just had some conjectures in my mind. I said it was Yuan Shu, but I just tried it on you. Looking at your expression now, my guess is confirmed." Li Song said his thoughts out.

"So that's it! Yan Xiang bows down! What Mr. Li said is the truth. Yesterday, my master vomited blood and passed away forever! That's why old people like me stayed here to take care of his funeral."

"After we discussed with everyone, we decided to surrender in Kaesong, but I hope you can agree to a few conditions!" Yan Xiang saluted Li Song.

"Hmph! Breaking through Hefei City is only a matter of time. You guys are planning to surrender and even want to raise conditions. It's wishful thinking!" Sun Guanjian pointed at Yan Xiang.

"I'd like to hear about Yan Xiang's conditions, so let's hear it!" Li Song stretched out his hand to stop Sun Guan, and said to Yan Xiang.

"First of all, I hope that Mr. Li can treat the soldiers and civilians in Hefei City kindly. After all, it is my lord's intention that they fight against you. They are innocent." Yan Xiang said.

"You can rest assured! They are all citizens of the imperial court. As the prime minister of the imperial court, I will naturally treat them kindly. Since Yuan Shu is dead, the rest of the crimes can be absolved." Li Song felt that this one of Yan Xiang Conditions are not conditions, and he did not intend to embarrass the soldiers and civilians in the city. These are all human resources, which are used to develop and strengthen his own power.

"Tell me about your other conditions! If you can agree, I will agree to them all."

Yan Xiang arched his hands and continued: "Secondly, I am willing to sit in Hefei City for Li Gong, defend against the invasion of Sun Ce's forces from Jiangdong, and guard the south gate for Li Gong. I hope Li Song can agree!"

"It's ridiculous! Since you surrendered, you still want to occupy Hefei City. Do you want to be self-reliant here?" Tan Daoji finally couldn't help standing up and said.

"This matter! I can't agree to it no matter what. Hefei is the territory of the imperial court, and the appointments here are all decided by the imperial court! How can others arrange it at will!" Li Song directly rejected Yan Xiang's conditions.

How could the affairs of Hefei City be left to their own discretion? This example cannot be opened anyway. Once this precedent is set, many people will follow suit in the future, and it will be worthwhile in the long run.

Yan Xiang also knew that this condition was impossible to pass, so he didn't say anything more in this regard, and raised another condition, "It's okay to disagree with this! Third, I hope you can let Yuan Shu's family members go! Let them leave!"

Li Song laughed dumbly after hearing this, Yan Xiang thought too much, Yuan Shu's family, he really didn't think about what to do with them, but it's no wonder, after all, Yuan Shu's family is a rebellious family, a guilty body, Yuan Shu committed the crime of treason and self-reliance again!The relatives of this kind of people have never been polite in all dynasties, and in serious cases, they will be punished by the nine clans.

"You can rest assured about this matter! Yuan Shu is the one who conspired against him, and his family members, I will naturally forgive them! I will not restrict their personal freedom." Li Song said.

"That's it! I'll treat them here to thank the Prime Minister!" Yan Xiang said, and saluted Li Song respectfully. From the beginning of Li Gong to the current title of Prime Minister, Yan Xiang's attitude has changed.

"On behalf of the whole city of Hefei, I respectfully ask the Prime Minister to accept our surrender! I also ask the Prime Minister to move to Hefei City." Yan Xiang bowed.

"Okay! You go back and prepare for the time being. After I rectify the soldiers and horses, it will not be too late to enter the city tomorrow! You wait to plant a white flag on the city, and use the white flag as the name. The flag of Cheng Guo on the city of Hefei must be replaced by my big man's flag .”

"In addition, let the defenders in Hefei City, disarmed and disarmed, gather at the school grounds. Tomorrow I will personally test Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses." Li Song said.

"That's it! Yan Xiang will take his leave first! Wait for the prime minister's good news in Hefei City!" Yan Xiang bowed and turned to leave. Hefei told Zhang Xun and the others what happened here.

"My lord! Do we really want to agree to their terms?" Xiao Mahe asked.

"It's good to be able to take Hefei City in this way! In this way, our army can preserve more strength, and it will be more beneficial to us when we fight against Yuan Shao in the future." Li Song said.

The Yuan Shu forces in Hefei City are nothing now, Yuan Shao is his future enemy. After Yuan Shao has dealt with Gongsun Zan, he must have a battle with Li Song. There can only be one voice in the northern land, and that is him, Li Song. Song, it must be him, Li Song.

It's not that Yuan Shao is incompetent, and all the counselors and generals under his command are also capable men, and their strength should not be underestimated. Generally speaking, Yuan Shao can be regarded as a strong enemy, so it is better not to waste too much strength at this place.

Li Song took a look here, looked at his crowd eagerly and said: "There are not a few of Yuan Shu's men who are capable of fighting. We accept their conditions and we can incorporate the soldiers and horses left by Yuan Shu. In this way, our strength It can be greatly improved! This is beneficial and harmless to us!"

After hearing this, everyone agreed with Li Song's decision. Li Song said: "Now, I give an order! All generals obey!"

Everyone immediately stood up straight, waiting for Li Song's order!Li Song ordered: "Tan Daoji and Xue Tong, order you two to lead [-] troops into Hefei City tomorrow, take over all the city defenses in Hefei, and let our army guard the city gates. Without my military order, you must not let go, even Not even a fly."

"Obey!" Tan Daoji and Xue Tong rushed out, clasped their fists at Li Song, and retreated to their positions.

"Xu Maogong, you will be in charge of the handover of Hefei City's affairs!" Li Song ordered Xu Maogong, who was the first on the right.

"Obey!" Xu Maogong saluted Li Song respectfully.

"When our army takes control of the city defenses of Hefei, Xu Maogong, together with Xiao Mahe, Zang Ba, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, will lead the Chinese army into the city." Li Song continued to order.

"Obey!" Xiao Mahe, Zang Ba, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao rushed out of the line, clasped their fists and saluted.

"After Xu Mao's public transportation takes over the fertilizer affairs, I will lead the rear army into the city! You should act accordingly!" Li Song said.

"No!" Everyone bowed and bowed in response, and slowly withdrew from the camp of the Chinese army.

The next day, Tan Daoji and Xue Tong led an army of [-] to the city of Hefei. When they looked up, they saw a white flag standing high above the city. It originally represented Yuan Shu's national flag. Replaced with the flag of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At this time, before the two of them called the door, the suspension bridge of Hefei City slowly fell, and the gate of Hefei City was even more open, waiting for their arrival.
