The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 71 Is he from the Yuan family?
Zhang He and Gao Lan received the order and immediately ordered 3000 troops to help Xudu.

Huai County is much closer to Xudu than Cangting.

When they arrived, Yuan Xu had besieged Xudu for more than two days.

There were groups of murderous corpses outside the city of Xudu, and the Taiyuan army camped behind the formation of murderous corpses.

Seeing the Taiyuan Army camp from a distance, Zhang He and Gao Lan ordered to stop marching.

"I heard that Yuan Xianxin can drive fierce corpses. I have always been skeptical, but I didn't expect it to be true." Zhang He said, "The enemy is all dead. How can we fight like this?"

"My lord ordered us to rush to help Xudu, just because he valued the impossibility of returning to Yuan's house." Gao Lan said: "He should also know that this crime is more serious, and it is probably impossible to return alive."

"When we turned our backs on the Yuan family, it was only because our family members were killed by Yuan Shao that we had nowhere to retreat." Zhang He sighed, "Yuan Xianxin can drive dead bodies away. Besides dying in battle, what other options do we have?"

Gao Lan shook his head helplessly: "The horse leather shroud is your destiny, but it's just a bit useless."

Yuan Xu has been in Xudu for two days.

All the corpses are summoned nearby.

He has driven the ferocious corpses to launch several sieges.

Xu Ducheng's high pools are not as deep as those in Huai County. Two days later, there is no sign of breaking the city.

Sitting in the middle army, he was watching Xu Du when Deng Zhan came to his side: "My lord, Cao Cao has sent reinforcements."

"Who is leading the army?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Zhang He, Gao Lan."

Yuan Xu was taken aback: "Why are they two?"

"It has been found out that it is indeed the two of them." Deng Zhan gave an affirmative answer.

"What do Shi Yuan think?" Yuan Xu asked Pang Tong beside him.

Pang Tong replied: "Both of them are former members of the Yuan family, and they took refuge in Cao Cao when they were in Guandu. If they rush to help Xudu, Cao Mengde will definitely not rebel again."

"At the beginning, my father ignored Jugong's objection and ordered the two to attack Xudu." Yuan Xu said: "It is reasonable to put them in a certain death situation and surrender."

"My lord is planning to..." Pang Tong understood what he meant.

"Call Jiang Gan." Yuan Xu ordered the guards.

After a while, Jiang Gan came.

Since the army left Taiyuan, he has been following, but never had the chance to show off.

Yuan Xu called him, and Jiang Gan immediately realized that he must have something to do.

When he came to Yuan Xu, Jiang Gan asked, "What is your order?"

"Zhang He, Gao Lan, are you familiar with them?"

Jiang Gan replied: "The two are generals from Hebei Province. They don't have much contact and are not too familiar."

"How sure are you of persuading surrender?" Yuan Xu asked again.

"Ninety percent!" Jiang Gan didn't even think about it: "They are Hebei generals, and it shouldn't be difficult to persuade them to surrender."

Pang Tong interjected: "Didn't Ziyi realize that Cao Mengde sent them to help Xudu just because they were former members of the Yuan family?"

"As long as you give me a way to turn back, I promise to persuade the two of you." Jiang Gan is still full of confidence.

"Tell them, I think it was a wrong decision for my father to attack Xudu regardless of everything." Yuan Xu said: "As long as he is willing to surrender, I will send them to Taiyuan. No one can do anything to them."

"Have you forgotten, my lord, the family members of the two have been executed by Yuan Gong." Pang Tong reminded: "I don't think it is so easy for them to persuade them to surrender."

"The Yuan family really doesn't leave any room for escape." Yuan Xu shook his head: "This matter is indeed a big trouble."

He looked at Jiang Gan again: "How sure are you now?"

"I know that the family members of the two were killed by the Yuan family." Jiang Gan replied, "I'm still [-]% sure!"

"You go to persuade the two, remember not to provoke them." Yuan Xu explained: "If the persuasion fails, come back immediately."

"I've written down what the young master told you." Jiang Gan took the order.

When they saw Yuan Xu's army, Zhang He and Gao Lan no longer had any hope of surviving.

The order was sent to station on the spot, and the two came to the edge of the camp.

"How to fight this battle?" Gao Lan asked, "Aren't you just waiting to die?"

"There is no way to fight, but we have to fight!" Zhang He replied: "The Yuan family in Hebei has a deep blood feud with us. If anyone can surrender, neither can we!"

Gao Lantie clenched his fists: "The Yuan family and I are inseparable. Even if we die, we will never surrender!"

While the two of them were talking, Yuan Xu's barracks rushed to ride a fast horse.

Seeing someone approaching, Zhang He and Gao Lan held down the hilt of their swords and immediately became alert.

Several Cao Jun ran over to meet the man.

It was Jiang Gan who galloped his horse.

Someone stopped him, Jiang Gan reined in his horse and stopped: "Two generals, don't be nervous, I'm ordered by your son, I have something to say."

"If you have anything to say, just say it here." Gao Lan responded coldly.

"It's so far away, how can you say it clearly?" Jiang Gan asked: "The two generals are brave generals who have won the three armies. Are you afraid of me, a literary scholar?"

What he said was polite, but the meaning behind his words was aggressive.

It would be a joke if the two fierce generals were afraid that he, a scholar, would spread the word!

Zhang He and Gao Lan exchanged glances.

Gao Lan ordered Cao Jun who stopped Jiang Gan: "Let him come over!"

Cao Jun stepped aside, and Jiang Gan got off his horse and came over.

He greeted them both: "How are the two generals?"

"Who is the young master that Ziyi is talking about?" Zhang He asked angrily.

"The fourth son of the Yuan family." Jiang Gan replied, "The two generals should be familiar with each other."

"We've been in Yuan's house for many years, of course we know each other well." Zhang He asked, "I remember that Ziyi was following Mr. Cao, why did he go to Yuan Xianxin's barracks?"

Jiang Gan's defection to Yuan Xu was already known to Cao Cao's generals.

Zhang Yun's question was nothing more than to embarrass him.

Jiang Gan smiled indifferently: "The two generals used to be in Yuan's house, and now they also voted for Cao Mengde?"

The two of them were choked by his words, their faces became ugly, but they couldn't find words to respond.

"What are you doing here?" Gao Lan choked out.

"Come here to persuade you to surrender." Jiang Gan replied very simply: "The two of you used to work for the Yuan family, and now that you return, you will not forget the old relationship, and it will definitely become a good talk."

Zhang He and Gao Lan sneered for a while.

Gao Lan said: "Ziyi's family members were not slaughtered by the Yuan family. With a three-inch tongue, it is a good story to fight without blood."

"May I ask who killed the family members of the two generals?" Jiang Gan asked.

Zhang He replied coldly: "Who else could there be besides Yuan Shao?"

"Is it Yuan Benchu ​​who made me come here to persuade him to surrender?" Jiang Gan asked again.

Feeling that he was making excuses, neither Gao Lan nor Zhang He answered his question.

"Yuan Benchu ​​was the murderer, what does it have to do with the Fourth Young Master?" Jiang Gan curled his lips: "The two generals want to die, and they don't need to die in the hands of non-enemies."

Zhang He sneered: "Zi Yi's ability to steal and change posts has reached its peak, but we are not fools. Yuan Xianxin did not slaughter my two family members, so let me ask you, is he from the Yuan family?"
