Three Kingdoms: Start With 3,000 Qin Cavalry To Revive The Qin Dynasty

Chapter 169 Yuan Tan Escapes And Xu You Surrenders

"Didn't the Jin army just capture some of our family members? As long as you can save your lives, you can still marry, have children, and continue to flourish.

"If we all die in the hands of the Jin army, the family members in their hands will no longer be of any use, and I am afraid that we will not be able to escape death in the end."

"Now you can only save your lives and plan for future development by abandoning your family, following me to break out of the siege, and returning to the Bohai Sea with me."

"I think I, the fourth and third son of the Yuan family, are deeply rooted. As long as we are given time to grow, we will definitely be able to make a comeback, and your glory and wealth will still exist.

Yuan Tan continued to talk and fool everyone.

"Since the eldest son plans to break through the siege, Gaoyi City still needs it. Only someone who can hold on can stop Xue Rengui's army."

"The last general is willing to lead a large army and defend the city to buy time for the eldest son and the lord and others to break through."

While speaking, Wen Chou turned around and left, planning to mobilize the army. He defended Gaoyi and tried his best to help Yuan Shao.

Since Wen Chou was a fool and planned to stay here to seek death, Yuan Wei didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Wen Chou was left with 20,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people and asked him to defend the city. Yuan Tan led the army to retreat to the Bohai Sea in the name of escorting Yuan Shao.

Before leaving, Xu You went out of his way and, like Wen Chou, actually volunteered to stay and guard Gaoyi together with Wen Chou.

At this time, Yuan Tan was only focused on escaping and didn't bother to guess Xu You's thoughts.

Since these two fools were willing to stay, he didn't bother to do too much persuasion.

Xu You stood on the city wall, looking at the backs of Yuan Tan and others running for their lives in a hurry, but he sneered.

"Yuan Shao is quick-witted, indecisive, and resorts to militarism. He has lost the support of the people and is running out of energy. I, Xu You, will follow you to retreat to the Bohai Sea. Do you want me to accompany Yuan Shao and others to the underworld together?"

"That boy Yuan Tan is still young. He thought that after escaping back to Bohai, he could really make a comeback just by relying on his reputation as the fourth and third son of the Yuan family."

"That kid likes to daydream. I, Xu You, am a realistic person, so I won't accompany you to dream."

Xu You knew very well that Wen Chou planned to defend the city and fight to the end with the Jin army. There was absolutely no possibility of surrender.

If he tried to persuade him at this time, he would be killed directly by the angry Wen Chou.

He directly ordered his confidants to quietly open the city gate. Then he came to Xue Rengui's military camp in person.

The moment he met Xue Rengui, Xu You didn't show off, but straightforwardly stated his purpose.

"Then Yuan Shao didn't listen to Xu You's good advice and humiliated me over and over again. Xu You was completely disappointed with him.

"Now I have come here specifically to seek refuge with the King of Jin. I hope that I can contribute to the Jin Kingdom and win a reputation during and after my death."

When facing Xue Rengui, Xu You no longer dared to be arrogant, but instead looked humble.

"Oh, what Mr. Xu You said is that there is some kind of problem within Yuan Shao." The officer asked with a smile on his face.

Xu You nodded and told him in detail how Yuan Shao was seriously ill and Yuan Tan led his army to retreat to the Bohai Sea.

Hearing this, Xue Rengui nodded with satisfaction.

"This news is indeed big news, but it seems that the gentleman wants to use this to find a bigger way out, but it is not enough."

"Right now, General Wen Chou of Yuan Shao is leading an army of 20,000 men, intending to defend Gaoyi and contain Lord Taiwei's paradise.

"I have a way to help Lord Taiwei seize Gaoyi without any effort. I don't know if it is enough."

"Okay, if you really have such ability, I will recommend you in front of the king."

"Thank you, Lord Lieutenant."

Xu You looked very proud. After returning, he once again found his confidants and several generals who had long been dissatisfied with Yuan Shao.

These individuals know very well that they have been abandoned by Yuan Tan and are left here to continue to defend the city. Sooner or later, they will be completely wiped out by the Jin army.

In addition, Xu You offered them generous terms, which made these people completely tempted and no longer had any worries.

Under Xu You's arrangement, these individuals took advantage of Wen Chou's patrol of the city day and night, when he was exhausted physically and mentally and took a nap.

On the one hand, he sent his close men to open the city gate of Gaoyi and rushed in the Jin army.

While leading his men, he directly tied up Wen Chou and used him as a bargaining chip for promotion and wealth.

With Xu You and others opening the city gate, Xue Rengui led his army into the city without spending a single soldier, and completely took over the entire Gaoyi city. The officers and soldiers of Yuan's army in Gaoyi city were also completely controlled by Xue Rengui.

"Damn thief, let me go! Let me go."

"Xu You, you traitor, you dare to betray my lord, you will not die well, you will not end well."

Hearing that Wen Chou was still cursing, Xu You looked unconcerned. Instead, he came out to speak out and sneered again and again:

"A good bird chooses a tree to rest, and a good minister chooses his master to serve. I, Xu You, made countless useful suggestions for Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao not only discarded them, but also ordered me to be punished. I, Xu You, gave him Yuan Shao can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous man.

"Yuan Shao's fate today is entirely his own fault."

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a master of martial arts, and he is the most enlightened master in the world. I, Xu You, are lucky enough to be able to serve His Highness the King of Jin.

Tian Feng and Jushou on the side couldn't bear to look at Xu You's eloquent words.

Xu You, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, never became so humble and actually learned to kneel and lick.

It seems that this kind of kneeling and licking does not have any boasting words, but is speaking outright.

"Pooh!"

Wen Chou spat in Xu You's face.

Not only did he not appreciate Xu You's righteous words at all, but he cursed loudly:

"Damn Xu You, you traitor to the lord, you betrayed the lord for glory, betrayed the lord, and you dared to be arrogant in front of me, Wen Chou.

"Let me tell you, even though I, Wen Chou, am defeated, I will not bow down like thieves like you.

"My lord will soon lead a large army to counterattack. By then, you and others will die without a burial place."

Such insults, especially wiping the saliva from the corners of his mouth, immediately made Xu You furious.

"Sir Taiwei, Wen Chou is Yuan Shao's diehard loyalist. No matter how hard we try, he will never surrender.

"Moreover, Wen Chou is General Yuan Shao. It would be better to kill Wen Chou in public, which can also threaten those who have double-minded intentions and deter Yuan Shao's remaining troops.
