The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 67 Conditional Surrender
The raging flames burned all night, and by dawn, the fire was much smaller.

At the head of Huai County, Guo Jia and Xu Huang stood side by side.

The faces of both of them were not good-looking.

Xu Huang, in particular, was worried with a touch of shame.

"The fire is about to go out." Guo Jia said, "Yuan Xianxin should launch an attack soon."

"Yuan Rang and I both thought..." Xu Huang thought it necessary to say something when Li Huo was mentioned.

Guo Jia interrupted him: "Dumping oil into the trench in the middle of the night, Yuan Xianxin only needs to set fire to it, and we have nothing to do."

The shame on Xu Huang's face deepened.

The sound of the zither came from the Taiyuan army camp, and a new round of attack was about to start.

Guo Jia ordered: "Send the order, all soldiers prepare rockets."

Cao Jun was ready to defend against the enemy, and the army of murderous corpses outside the city also began to move.

Yuan Xu concentrated on stroking the piano.

Gan Ning and Pang Tong stood beside him.

Xiahou Dun was tied with ropes and stood beside Gan Ning.

The fire in the night woke him up.

Everything he and Xu Huang did was useless and useless...

When the murderous corpses attacked the city, Cao Jun stood up to resist.

The fighting lasted from early morning until afternoon.

When the first murderous corpse landed on the top of the wall, Xiahou Dun slowly closed his eyes.

He knew that he had lost this gamble...

More and more murderous corpses landed on the top of the city, and Cao Jun's line of defense was lost.

In order to capture Guo Jia, Yuan Xu drove the murderous corpses to surround Huai County, not to mention people, even a fly would not be able to fly out!

"Take people into the city and capture Guo Fengxiao and Xu Gongming." Yuan Xu ordered Gan Ning.

Gan Ning took the lead and led the Taiyuan army to rush towards the already conquered city.

Yuan Xu stood up: "Let's go to the city to have a look."

He looked at Xiahoudun: "Yuan Rang and I will fulfill our bet."

Xiahou Dun let out a long sigh: "I am willing to admit defeat, but there is only one condition, please fulfill it, my lord."

"Say." Yuan Xu already guessed what he was going to say.

"I have followed Duke Cao for many years, and I have a relationship with him..."

"Attack Cao Cao, you don't need to fight." Yuan Xu interrupted him: "It's not too late for you to do your best to conquer other heroes."

"Thank you, my lord!" Xiahoudun bowed to thank him.

He was tied with ropes and couldn't hold his fists.

Yuan Xu ordered the guards: "Untie General Xiahou."

The guard untied Xiahou Dun from the rope, but did not return the weapon and armor to him.

Accompanying Yuan Xu to Huai County, Xiahou Dun's mood was very complicated.

He once guarded the city together with Guo Jia and Xu Huang, but now he wants to witness the fall of Huai County with his own eyes, and his identity is still Yuan Xu's general.

After the siege of the city by ferocious corpses, the city walls of Huai County have been burned to blackness.

Cao Jun fought against the murderous corpses in the city, and the streets were also littered everywhere.

When Yuan Xu and others entered the city, the battle was not completely over.

In almost every street, there are murderous corpses chasing Cao Jun.

Gan Ning, who entered the city first, ran towards him.

When he arrived in front of Yuan Xu, he said, "Guo Jia and Xu Huang were besieged by murderous corpses. I led the soldiers to try to break the siege, but we couldn't get through."

"Where is it?" Yuan Xu asked.

"It's not far away." Gan Ning turned his head and pointed.

"Take me there." Yuan Xu ordered.

Gan Ning led the way, passing a street, Yuan Xu saw groups of murderous corpses clustered outside a tavern.

The door of the tavern was closed, and someone from inside stabbed the murderous corpse trying to rush in with a weapon.

"Is Guo Fengxiao here?" Yuan Xu asked.

Gan Ning replied, "I watched him and Xu Huang go in with my own eyes."

Coming to the back of the group of corpses, Yuan Xu shouted: "Guo Fengxiao, you have been besieged, and you haven't opened the door to surrender. Do you want to die here?"

Guo Jia's voice came from inside the room: "The matter that the master entrusted was not done properly, I can only apologize if I die!"

"I really don't want you to die." Yuan Xu shouted: "As long as you are willing to work, I will let you live."

"Yuan Xianxin, you are an idiot talking about dreams." Guo Jia replied, "Am I the kind who betrays the Lord and seeks glory?"

"But you did betray the old master." Yuan Xu said: "You used to serve the Yuan family back then, and you hung your seal and left because you were not reused. A few years later, you voted for Cao Mengde. It is his loss that my father failed to use you. I will give you more opportunities, so that your fame will last forever!"

Guo Jia was silent.

Xu Huang's voice came out: "Yuan Xianxin, kill if you want, there is nothing to say."

"General Xu, you don't seem to be related to Cao Mengde." Yuan Xu asked, "Are you sure you want to die here for him?"

"My lord is kind to me." Xu Huang replied, "Even if I die, I will never surrender!"

"The general is willing to die for Cao Mengde, and I can't persuade you. I know that Gongming is tall, strong and brave." Yuan Xu replied, "After you die, I will definitely carry it with you all year round. It must be stronger than ordinary corpses. times."

His words made Xu Huang dare not speak anymore.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that after death, people are still driven into battle, and the corpse is left to be abused by others...

"Yuan Rang has voted for me." Yuan Xu glanced at Xia Houdun: "Would Feng Xiao and Gong Ming listen to him?"

There was silence at first, and after a while, Guo Jia's voice came from the room: "Is Yuan Rang here?"

Xiahou Dun replied hesitantly, "Yes."

"Have you already taken refuge with Yuan Xianxin?" Guo Jia asked again.

"My son and I made a bet..." Xiahou Dun tried to explain.

Guo Jia didn't listen to the reason at all: "I understand."

"Fengxiao..." Xiahoudun wanted to say something more, but Yuan Xu winked at him.

He had no choice but to shut his mouth and say no more.

After a while, the door opened.

More than a dozen Cao soldiers came out first.

Guo Jia and Xu Huang followed at the end.

The faces of the two were ashen and dejected.

As soon as Yuan Xu raised his hand, not only did the corpses surrounding the door not attack, but they retreated one after another to make way for them.

Dozens of Taiyuan soldiers swarmed forward, knocked down the dozen or so Cao soldiers and tied them up.

Gan Ning led people and was about to bind Guo Jia and Xu Huang, but Yuan Xu stopped him: "Feng Xiao and Gong Ming are today's celebrities and heroes, so don't be rude."

Yuan Xu asked the two of them: "What do you two plan?"

"I'm dying, so I have no face to see Mr. Cao." Guo Jia replied, "We are willing to surrender to Mr. Cao, but there is one condition..."

"You don't need to participate in the crusade against Cao Cao." Yuan Xu said the conditions for him: "I agree."

Guo Jia and Xu Huang looked surprised.

The two discussed in the room and allowed them not to be enemies with Cao Cao, so they simply surrendered to Yuan Xu.

Before the conditions were put forward, Yuan Xu agreed without hesitation, which made them unable to recover immediately.

"My lord agreed too readily." Yuan Xu agreed so readily that Guo Jia felt a little unreliable.

"The world is not the world of Cao Cao alone." Yuan Xu said: "Destroying him is just a snap of the fingers. What I lack is talents, talents who follow me to conquer the four directions. To conquer Cao Cao, there are others who can be used without you. Why don't I promise?"
