~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Huainan and the important town of Shouchun on Huainan have been surrounded by the four camps of Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Hu Cheer, Li Dian and Ganning.
At this time, in Shouchun City, from Yuan Shu to the soldiers, there was no intention of fighting. The reason why I struggled to this day was just to sell myself for a good price. Therefore, Xu You, as the "intermediary", received courtesy of the guests and had almost no need to report to enter and exit Yuan Shu's palace.
After half a month of bargaining, Yuan Shu had reached a settlement agreement with the imperial envoy Xu You: surrender to the Longlang Army, and handed over three counties that were still under Yuan Shu's control, including Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, and Yuzhang County, including Shouchun City, to the Longlang Army, and then handed them back to the court, and the troops they belonged to were also transferred to the Longlang Army for adaptation.
The various requests made by Yuan Shu were basically not excessive, and were all within Xu You's authority, so he didn't have to ask for instructions and agreed one by one. There was only one, and Yuan Shu proposed that he would only hand him over the jade seal to the general.
Yuan Shu's request seems too much, but it is actually quite reasonable. With Xu You's level, he is really not qualified to accept the seal of the Han Dynasty. He counts all over the world. The only one who is most qualified to receive the seal is besides being the today's son.
The jade seal is a national symbol, representing orthodoxy and legality, and is also the most urgent thing that Zi Liu Xie wants to recover. Its return requires a candidate with a proper ritual and identity to show the world. Mingwei and all directions.
So Xu You sent the news to Luoyang, which led to Ma Han's trip to the East China Sea.
After completing this big thing, Xu You finally could feel at ease. After that, he visited old friends and made friends with famous scholars in Huai. Of course, he did not ignore Cao Cao.
With the conditions reached by both sides, the benefits will fall into the hands of the court. Cao Cao, who had been working hard for more than half a year and had spent countless money and food, wasted all the money and food. How could he be willing to do it with Cao's personality?
Cao Cao wanted to get a piece of the pie and even gain greater benefits, there were only two possibilities: one was to immediately conquer Shouchun and create a fait accompli. The other was to create trouble and take advantage of the situation.
The first one is no longer possible. Not to mention that Cao Cao does not have this ability, even if there is one, Li Dian and tens of thousands of troops were staring at him. How could he let him eat alone as he wished? So the most likely is the second one. Xu You was familiar with Cao Cao at a young age. He was well aware of this person's nature, so he kept reminding Li Dian that Gan Ning would pay attention to the movements of Cao's camp and react immediately whenever there was an abnormality.
Li Dian was cautious by nature and was once a subordinate of Cao Cao. His understanding of Cao Cao was not inferior to Xu You, and he deeply agreed. Now, through Xu You, he told Yuan Shu that the Longlang Navy would build a water camp in Shouchun north, ten miles away from Shouchun City. Gan Ning would lead 2,000 people to guard it. If there was any change, the Gan Ning Army would enter the North Water Gate of Shouchun to help.
Yuan Shu only agreed that if there is any change, reinforcements can enter the outer city and refuse to enter the inner city. He also ordered his son Yuan Yao to be responsible for coordinating various matters and negotiated one emergency measure at the same time.
Yuan Shu, Xu You, and Li Dian have worked hard and worked hard to ensure a safe handover. Cao Cao responded to the series of actions of the Dragon Wolf Army and Yuan Shu Army, as if he had accepted his fate, or could he have no choice. But... Is this really the case?
...
At the end of May, the new moon is dark, and there is no five fingers at night.
In the south of Shouchun City, Xu You was covered in alcohol and had a slightly slight mood from Shu Shao's mansion (the former Huainan Yin) of Jiujiang Prefect (the former Huainan Yin). Two servants supported him. After leaving the mansion, the waiter hurriedly met him and called the ox cart to come.
Shu Shao personally sent it out of the middle door, and was very polite. He waited until Xu You got on the cart, bowed his hand repeatedly, watching the ox cart go away.
Xu You was in a very comfortable mood. The three messengers, who only counted the achievements of his journey, how could he feel uncomfortable? He said that he surrendered Yuan Shu and did not use swords and weapons to obtain all three counties. Xu Ziyuan became famous. He was in a comfortable mood. With the ox cart shaking, Xu You couldn't help but shake his head and sang: "...I can't go out and go but don't go back. The plain suddenly has a long road. He has a long sword and holds the Qin bow, and his head is separated and his heart is not punished..."
Xu You's voice was very loud, and his hoarse voice came from afar in the empty street, alarming waves of dog barking. Fire flashed in the distance, swords were unsheathed, and a team of patrolmen came over cursing and saw the bronze medals of the lantern hanging beside the ox cart, and they retreated in silence.
Xu You laughed wildly, and used the jade Ruyi in his hand to knock on the night pass token given by Yuan Shu by the side of the car box. It made a bang and was about to "sing wet" again, suddenly there was a deafening sound. The jade Ruyi in Xu You almost fell off and rubbed his eyes hard, thinking that he had actually knocked the bronze medal with jade.
If you look carefully, there is no bronze medal incident, where does that sound come from?
At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang in front of him, and the door panel of a mansion was knocked away from the inside to the outside, hitting the group of patrol soldiers, screaming and crying in pain. Then an astonishing scene appeared - countless figures swarmed out of the mansion, the cold light flashed, and blood splattered, and in the blink of an eye, the patrol soldiers were killed.
Xu You and his entourage were stunned, and a thought flashed through his mind - rebellion!
The mansion continued to flow out from the mansion with a knife and a bow. When he saw the eyes, he was afraid that there would be two or three hundred people. These people were neat, agile, fierce, and clear goals. After killing all the patrol soldiers, they ignored the heads and screams of neighbors, ignored Xu You and his party not far away, but rushed along the street to the southeast - where was Yuan Shu's palace.
"Whose mansion is this?" Xu You exhaled vigorously, insisted on calming down, and asked his left and right.
The entourage with good eyes said hesitantly: "It looks like Yang Changshi's house."
Yang Changshi was Yang Hong, who was the chief of Yuan Shu's shogunate at this time.
Xu You slapped his thigh: "It's him, I have advised Yuan Gaolu to pay more attention to this person... Cai Qi, you are smart, please take this pass sign and go out of the north gate, and go to the Shuizhai ten miles away to report the situation to the Captain Gan, and ask him to send troops according to the previous proposal and enter Shouchun from Shuimen."
Cai Qi had just sat down from the north gate while sitting in a hanging basket, and heard the shocking screams from the city. The two soldiers who put him down at the top of the city looked back: "No, the palace caught fire!" In horror, he relaxed his hands and swirled the wheels. Cai Qi was sitting in the hanging basket and fell from more than two meters high. It was because he was quick and rolled on the ground, so he had to break his hands and feet. Even so, he was still sprained.
Cai Qiqiang endured the pain, swam across the moat, limping into the darkness.
Half an hour later, Cai Qi reappeared. This time, he was followed by a large number of dragon and wolf naval troops led by Gan Ning, all of which were the brave and good at fighting Bashu and Danyang Shanyue.
The ship arrived under the water gate, and Gan Ning showed the pass sign to the defenders on the city and signed the agreement with Yuan Shu.
The guards hung up the basket and handed it to the Shuimen Captain to check it out, so they let it go. But the problem arises. Just entering the Shuimen in the outer city is useless. Although you can see the fire everywhere in the city from here, you can't enter the inner city. These "water" troops cannot save the "fire".
A Gan Shou showed the pass sign and the agreement. The defenders of the inner city Water Gate firmly stated that they had asked Mr. Yuan for instructions, but everything was decided by Mr. Yuan. Before that, the door would never be opened.
Just when the Ganning army was anxious to get angry, Yuan Yao, the eldest son of Yuan who they were waiting for, was in danger.
Yang Hong led the rebels, familiar with the way, rushed to Yuan Shu's palace. There were guards who had already responded, opened the outer palace gate, so that the rebels could enter the first palace gate smoothly. But in front of the second palace gate, the rebels could not enter - Yang Hong's ability was not enough to bribe all the guards.
As soon as the rebels appeared, a mess of arrows shot from the corner tower of the second palace gate, and several people fell to the ground on the spot.
At this time, one of the two masked leaders in the rebels said angrily: "Set fire and burn the palace gate!"
Another masked leader held his shield and drew his sword, saying in silence: "Dong Yi, come and command, I'll knock out the corner tower."
While speaking, the masked leader jumped out, followed by more than ten entourages. As soon as they charged, they became targets of public criticism, and arrows shot on the shield, making a tick. The two fell to the ground when they were injured, and the rest ignored them and tried their best to take the lead, rushing under the palace wall in one go.
More than ten followers were clinging to the wall, and they were all squatting down one by one, raising their shields, staggering heights, forming an artificial staircase.
The masked leader shrank behind the shield, ran wildly, stepped up on the artificial stairs, and rushed up the palace wall. His feet stomped on the top of the wall, leaped high with the force, and slapped at the corner tower, roaring like thunder: "Die!"
At this moment, a fierce tiger entered the flock of sheep, screaming in the horn tower, with sword light wrapped around and blood splattering. Nearly ten archers were killed by the masked leader with one sword and one shield.
Yang Hong saw it, frightened and blurted out: "What a Lingpo thief, you are really brave."
Another masked leader laughed: "Brother Ling is the first to take the enemy's front, destroying the enemy's front, and destroying everything, and is definitely not inferior to the first to take the Dragon Wolf Army, General Le Jin."
The rebels broke into the gate, and the troops were divided into two groups, setting fires everywhere, attacking the palace guards; the other side was guided by Yang Hong and rushed to Yuan Shu's bedroom.
The palace guards were intercepting each other along the way, ranging from three or five to twenty or thirty, but they were hasty and lacked command, and they were all defeated by the brave masked leader. The rebels were unstoppable and rushed to Yuan Shu's palace.
Yang Hong pointed to the left: "From this, walk a hundred steps forward, and you will be Yuan Gong's bedroom..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a bright light in front of him, and a large group of people came out, with palace guards and eunuchs guards. The person in the middle, wearing a crown, described as thin, looking forward to his actions, and having his own majesty.
It was Yuan Shu.
Yang Hong was overjoyed and was about to speak, but suddenly he seemed to find something. He pointed at him: "That is the eldest son Yuan Yao. The Huang Ling square wrapped in his arms must be the national seal."
Chapter completed!
