Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Tan's face was terrified, his expression was full of fear, he even staggered his steps, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly send the order, gather the troops and horses to take back the South Gate, otherwise everything will be over!"

Guan Tong hurriedly said: "Don't do it, Eldest Young Master. There is Han Meng's chaos recently. If you call out soldiers and horses, if Han Meng kills you, Eldest Young Master will not be in danger."

After Guan Tong said, the room was quiet first, followed by a big change in everyone's complexion. They all thought of a possibility, that is, Han Meng colluded with Li Yi to seize the city together.

Yuan Tan's lips trembled slightly, but it didn't matter to Han Meng, he could take care of it, but if he cooperated with Li Yili, it would kill him.

Yuan Tan looked to the left and right, and although he didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes was obvious, he wanted to run away.

Apparently asking if he should run quickly.

The other three looked at each other. This time the matter was urgent and no one hesitated. Kong Shun was the first to say: "Please hurry out of the city, the eldest son. The subordinates are not talented. I would like to end the queen for the eldest son!"

Guan Tong also said: "The last general is willing to end his heir for the eldest son."

Yuan Tan glanced at the two of them gratefully, secretly thinking that it is only in a critical moment that he can see people's hearts, took a deep breath, and then ordered: "Go, leave the city through the north gate immediately!"

Although the incident happened suddenly, Yuan Tan had long been prepared to abandon the city. It took only a little while for Yuan Tan to complete the preparations. Yuan Tan and Guan Tong Huayan led more than 1000 people straight to the Going to the north gate, Kong Shun was left behind, packing up his soldiers and horses while making preparations for the end.

The fighting in the city was not small, but as Li Yi entered the south gate, Yuan Tan fled with more than 1000 people, and the whole city became "lively".

Those officers who were suppressed and beaten by Yuan Tan's troops heard that Li Yi had entered the city, and quickly regained their morale, but those in Yuan Tan were panicked and had no fighting spirit. After all, Yuan Tan ran away , what are they still doing here?

Although Kong Shun was gathering soldiers and horses under the banner of Yuan Tan, the city was chaotic and it was night, so the efficiency was very low. Only more than 2000 people were gathered, and Kong Shun had to lead them back.

Because Kong Shun wanted to "cover" Yuan Tan, he did not continue to go to the north gate, but chose the west gate, and the west gate had an urn city, which was far more difficult to conquer than other gates.

It's just that what the two thousand Jizhou didn't expect was that after they entered Wengcheng, they discovered that Ximen had also been taken by Li Yi's people. Except for a few people such as Kong Shun, who "lead the way", the remaining two thousand soldiers Without even a fight, he became a turtle in a urn directly.

After Kong Shun left, Li Yi's soldiers and horses began to march towards the east gate and south gate. With the cooperation of the inner ghost, the four gates were soon under Li Yi's control.

At this time, there were still thousands of Jizhou soldiers in the city, and they had become headless chickens. They tried to take back the city gate several times, but they couldn't organize at all, and their combat power was very weak. In the end, all these people retreated into the city and vented their anger. On their former robes.

At this time, Li Yi sent troops into the city to suppress the fighting inside, but Li Yi didn't do that, he just ordered soldiers and horses to guard the four gates.

Once the overall situation was settled, and the street fighting at night was very dangerous, Li Yi didn't want his troops to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Furthermore, Li Yi wanted to continue to deter Jizhou, but he didn't want his injuries to be stained with blood, so Li Yi was very happy to see Jizhou soldiers fighting among themselves.

It's just that in this way, the people in the city will definitely be affected by Chiyu. It is normal to have thousands of casualties in the past. This made Li Yi a little unbearable, but he didn't change his mind because of this.

When Yuan Tan entered Qingzhou, the people in many places took the initiative to welcome him into the city, which showed the prestige of the Yuan family in the hearts of the people, so Li Yi wanted to take this opportunity to tarnish the reputation of the Yuan family.

After today, Li Yi will let people know that Yuan Tan's incompetence led to civil strife in the Jizhou army, and the Jizhou soldiers were brutal, ignoring the lives and deaths of the people, and fighting in the city, causing heavy casualties to the innocent people in Dongping Mausoleum. In the end, it was his general Li Yi who appeased Taking care of the people gave Dongping Mausoleum and Qingzhou stability.

It's shameless to do so, but this is war.

Chapter 728 Zhao Zilong enters Qingzhou

From the darkening of the night to the gradual lightening of the sky, after dawn, the sound of fighting in Dongping Mausoleum basically stopped, only occasionally sporadic screams of fighting came from some corners.

It was no longer a battle between two camps, but a vendetta between individual soldiers.

There are more than 1 Jizhou troops, and there are about 7000 people left in the city. They were originally two camps. Is it really your enemy.

Li Yi stood on the top of the south gate of the city, and under the city wall were densely populated people, as well as soldiers from Jizhou who looked terrified.

After the chaos started last night, it was inevitable that some soldiers would take the opportunity to plunder the people. Even if the people wanted to hide in their homes, it would be difficult for them to escape from their homes at night in order to survive.

Although Li Yi deliberately let the chaos in the city go, he would not turn his back on the people in front of him. The people who came to the city gate to ask him for help were very lucky, and all of them were protected by Li Yi, even though Li Yi just let them die He was not harmed, and all he was given was a bowl of soup and cakes to warm up, but these people were so grateful to Li Yi, because the Jizhou soldiers in the city had gone crazy, killing anyone they saw, and they didn't even know why they killed them.

With the first few people as a precedent, many people came to the city gate to seek Li Yi's protection, and Li Yi accepted them one by one. Finally, some Jizhou soldiers who had calmed down from the blood also came back to their senses and took the initiative to protect them. When you come to the city gate, please surrender.

For these Jizhou soldiers, Li Yi also did not feel embarrassed, and gave them the same treatment as the common people after disarming.

On the way, an officer of the Jizhou Army saw that Li Yi was benevolent, so he asked to see him, hoping that Li Yi could send troops to suppress the chaos in the city.

It's just that Li Yi refused because he was not good at fighting at night.

The general naturally didn't understand Li Yi's thoughts, and suggested that the surrendered Jizhou soldiers could go in to persuade them to surrender. This time, Li Yi agreed after a little thought, and the effect was surprisingly good. After one night, Li Yi's own soldiers and horses hadn't even started yet Most of the remaining rebels have already chosen to surrender.

As for the last remaining people, there is no need to worry about it at all.

Li Yi rubbed his temples. Although his physical strength was very good, he was still a little sleepy after staying up all night without rest, but the soldiers under his command were very energetic. For this almost free victory, they were obviously better than him. Li Yi was much more excited.

Li Yi was about to order the troops to enter the city, when there was a sound of footsteps on the steps of the tower, Zhang Liao ran up.

Li Yi turned around and asked with a smile, "Has Wen Yuan caught up with Yuan Tan?"

Zhang Liao greeted Li Yi first, then wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "Then Yuan Tan really escaped from the north gate. In the end, there were only less than a hundred people around Yuan Tan, and Guan Tong did not stab Xu Kun under his horse. Then Hua Yan fought to protect the Lord, and Kong Shun also arrived with the remnant soldiers. Finally, the general fought to a draw with the two of them. This allowed Yuan Tan to escape."

Li Yi couldn't help laughing, the two sycophants fought Zhang Liao to a draw, which was enough for them to brag about for a lifetime, just thinking about the process, Zhang Liao must be extremely embarrassed.

As for Yuan Tan's escape, this was already in Li Yi's plan. It doesn't make much sense whether he captures or kills Yuan Tan. It is far better to let him go back.

After laughing, Li Yi asked again: "As far as you can see, how many people can gather around Yuan Tan before he leaves Qingzhou?"

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "If no one in the city escapes, Yuan Tan will have no more than a thousand people at most!"

Li Yi nodded slightly, and asked Kuai Yue to the side: "It's hard for a thousand people to do anything. I don't think there is any need to send people to chase after him, otherwise it will be troublesome if we catch up. What do you think?"

Kuai Yue originally wanted to say that it was wrong, if he didn't drive Yuan Tan out in one go, there might be some disturbances in Yuan Tan along the way, but after thinking about it, Yuan Tan is no different from a bereaved dog now, no matter where he appears, it is for Yuan Shao Losing face, he immediately nodded and said: "My lord's words are true, and my subordinates have no objections."

Li Yi nodded, and then said to Xu Huang who had been waiting for a long time on the other side: "Let the soldiers and horses enter the city. In addition, Zijing sent people to prepare for the aftermath. You supervise it yourself, and you must let the people in the city know the benevolence and righteousness of our army."

"Here!"

The two took orders, and immediately went down to arrange matters. Soon, Li Yi saw teams of soldiers and horses entering from the city gate, and then quickly separated, advancing and spreading along the streets into the city.

Because the Jizhou soldiers who surrendered last night led the way, these troops advanced very smoothly. Although there were still some Jizhou soldiers in the city who planned to die rather than surrender, after a night of fierce fighting, those Jizhou soldiers were exhausted and even ran out of arrows. , The blades of the weapons are also curled, and the combat effectiveness is very low.

During the process of soldiers and horses entering the city, Li Yi heard several fights, but those fights came and went quickly, and almost all of them ended within a stick of incense.

Cleaning up the inner city is a meticulous job. Although it is smooth, it can't be completed in a short time. Li Yi can't wait all the time, so he takes a nap in the upper part of the city tower. When it is almost noon, the situation in the city has been resolved. Li Yi was awakened by Dian Wei.

"My lord, there were more than [-] dead and wounded in the Jizhou army last night. They took the initiative to ask for [-] surrenders. Finally, the soldiers entered the city and took [-] prisoners. There should be sporadic escapes. It is difficult to capture them all in a short time, but The subordinates have ordered people to search vigorously, and there must be harvest before nightfall!"

Li Yi listened to Xu Huang's report, nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time was a little bit embarrassed. He has experienced many battles, no matter whether he was on his own side or the enemy side, the casualties were the worst compared to this time, and these casualties were killed by Jizhou soldiers themselves. What came out seemed ridiculous, but it was actually very scary.

After taking a sip of the porridge, Li Yi also filled a bowl for Xu Huang, saying, "Gongming has worked hard."

"The final general is ashamed, today's victory is all due to the master's plan, the final general is just trying his best!"

Xu Huang took the soup bowl. He was really hungry, but as a subordinate, he did not forget to give Li Yi a flattery in return.

Li Yi smiled slightly. He was indeed a little proud of this matter. Originally, Kong Shun only gave him the city. Although Li Yi won Qingzhou, this matter is over.

But it's different now, Qingzhou is also in his hands, but the shock of this process to Jizhou is definitely greater than the effect of directly beating it down.
