Sun Ce held the reins of the horse, looked at the crowded city walls, and looked at Yuan Tan who was protected by several shields, and couldn't help but chuckled.

"Wen Xiang, go forward and call."

"Here." Xu Sheng responded, kicked the horse's belly lightly, urged the horse to the moat, transported the Dantian Qi, and shouted loudly: "General, General, Master Kuaiji, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, have a message to Yuan Envoy."

Yuan Tan coughed, pushed away the guard in front of him and poked his body out of the city. "I am Yuan Tan, I wonder what General Sun has to give me advice?"

"The two armies were fighting, and tens of thousands of soldiers were sleeping in the open air, and the people were disturbed. As the governor, Yuan envoy could not protect the country and the people, but only knew that the turtle was huddled into the city and laughed at the world. Spring farming was approaching, General Sun did not want to delay the farming season, which led to the people's food and clothing. He was willing to duel with the envoy, stay the winner and the loser went to end the war as soon as possible, and return the peace in Yanzhou. Will the envoy dare to fight?"

Yuan Tan was so angry that he wanted to swear, but he could not lose his composure in front of his subordinates. He had to force himself to calm down and laughed: "General Sun pointed out that deer was a horse, and turned black and white, which made people laugh. Since he was the prefect of Kuaiji, he should govern the government and the people in Kuaiji. Why did he come to Shanyang? If he didn't come, how could the people disturb him? These were all caused by him, but now he has to pretend to be kind and fool the people in the world?"

"General Sun did not want to come to Shanyang, but some people overestimated their abilities and failed to attack Suiyang first. They also sent the barbarians to burn, kill and loot. The people of Yuzhou were killed and injured. General Sun was ordered by the Grand Marshal Zhu Gong and led his troops to help. Xia Pi defeated Liu He and Wen Chou defeated the East China Sea. Fang and the defeated envoy, now they are at the city, seek justice from the envoy Yuan. Yuan, do you dare to say that those barbarians who harass Yuzhou have nothing to do with you?"

Yuan Tan was speechless and looked back at Xinpi. Xinpi frowned. "What are you talking nonsense to him? Shoot him with a powerful crossbow."

Yuan Tan looked at Xu Sheng under the city and sighed softly. "Forget it, the army is at the city and cannot go out of the city to fight. Even if I kill this knight, I cannot save my name of cowardice. It just ruined the life of a warrior in vain. What's the point?"

Xinpi immediately bowed to apologize. "I am kind and virgin, but I am wronged."

Wang Yu and others looked at each other, and quickly followed and praised Yuan Tan's kindness in unison for his kindness and did not know Sun Ce. Man Chong looked at him, feeling unspeakable. Sun Ce only had three thousand infantry and cavalry, and across the entire Shanyang area, Yuan Tan did not dare to send one soldier and one soldier out of the city to fight. Now he was forced to the city to invite the battle. He didn't even dare to say a tough word, and could only use these tricks to save face. It was ridiculous.

At this time, Xu Sheng, who was under the city, shouted again: "Where is Man Boning?"

Yuan Tan was shocked and subconsciously looked at Man Chong. Everyone in the city also felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and they turned to look over. Man Chong was not prepared at all, and his face turned red. When everyone saw him, they felt that there was something wrong with it, but they didn't know the inside story. Yuan Tan knew that Man Chong had met Sun Ce in Wutangting. He waved to Man Chong. "Boning, come on, since General Sun has something to say to you, just listen to what he said."

Man Chong had no choice but to walk to the city wall and poke his body out. "I am Man Chong. I don't know what General Sun has to give advice? If you persuade him to surrender, you don't have to worry too much. Last time at Wutangting, Chong had already thanked General Sun for his good intentions, so there was no need to do anything extra."

Everyone was upset, and then they realized that Man Chong had met Sun Ce. After hearing Man Chong's meaning, Sun Ce had recruited him, but was rejected by Man Chong.

At this time, Sun Ce kicked over and said loudly: "Man Boning, the beauty of a gentleman is a man. You are loyal to Yuan Envoy and are unwilling to leave easily. However, loyalty and righteousness are not contrary to each other. I am a guest in Changyi. As the host, shouldn't you be a friend?"

Man Chong laughed. Sun Ce gave him face and confirmed in front of everyone that he refused to recruit, avoiding the result of being misunderstood. "General Sun, I feel honored not only when you come to Changyi, but also Yuan Envoy and Changyi Junjie are also very honored and willing to do the hostism. But the general has too many soldiers and Changyi may not be able to entertain him. If General Sun is willing to enter the city, I think there will be many people scrambling to receive the general. You guys, don't you think?"

Seeing that Man Chong responded properly, he turned against Sun Ce's army. Not only Wang Yu and others were happy, but even Yuan Tan laughed and agreed.

When Sun Ce saw the city laughing, he was not in a hurry. Xu Sheng stood on his right, quietly took off the shield from the saddle with his left hand, and watched every move on the top of the city vigilantly. Sun Ce was too close. If Yuan Tan wanted to send a crossbowman to attack him, he would react as soon as possible and protect Sun Ce.

After laughing in the city, Sun Ce said, "Man Boning, I will enter Changyi City sooner or later, and it won't take long. However, I am in military affairs and cannot leave the post without permission. Leaving the soldiers and entering the city alone to enjoy your hospitality. Since Changyi cannot entertain you, I will choose another place. I heard that your manor in Man's house is not far from the south of the city. I will visit there. Would you like to drink a drink together?"

Man Chong's smile froze. Others also heard what Sun Ce meant, and no one could laugh. Not only was the manor of Man's family outside the city, but most of the people in the city's manor were outside the city. Now that Sun Ce's troops are at the city, they can't escape. They hid in the city, but Sun Ce had no choice, but Sun Ce still had a way to stay with their tribesmen outside the city. Sun Ce came all the way east, and there were news of the slaughtering the village and destroying the garden. There were Dongzhang and Jinxiang, but now it was Changyi's turn.

In the dead silence of the crowd on the city wall, Sun Ce laughed, turned his horse's head, and left.

Man Chong turned around and bowed to Yuan Tanshen. "Please send troops to repel Sun Ce and save our Changyi elders from the fire and water."

Everyone saluted and asked Yuan Tan to send troops to fight Sun Ce. Yuan Tan was embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it. At this time, Xinpi said: "Boning, you and General Sun fell in love with you at first sight. He valued you so much, and he would definitely threaten you. Although the means were unbearable, his intentions were good. Go out of the city, so that you can understand your difficulties and will not blame you."

Yuan Tan was bitter in his mouth, but he knew that this was the only way at present. If he didn't let go of the whole pet, he would be forced to do something. It was unreasonable and might force the whole pet to rebel. If he let go of the whole pet, he could win a magnanimous name and eliminate a hidden danger. He thought for a moment and made a decision immediately.

"Boning, I am not virtuous enough to let you show your talents, nor can I delay you. You told Sun Ce that within half a month, I will definitely go out of the city to decide the outcome with him. I hope that because these are all your hometown party, you will advise Sun Ce to cherish the people, and not to fish out of the waters and hurt the innocent."

When everyone heard this, they felt relieved and praised Yuan Tan for being reasonable and righteous. They all knew that if they could leave with all their favor, they could let them go. They might have never met Sun Ce and had no friendship, but as long as they did not become enemies with Sun Ce, they could at least save their lives. Since Yuan Tan could not protect them, they had to find ways to protect themselves.

Yuan Tan was humble and assured everyone that he was recruiting reinforcements. If Sun Ce could not be repelled within half a month, he would withdraw from Changyi and surrender to Shanyang.
