Chapter 1371: Jinyang City Surrenders
"Three Kingdoms Online Game: Princes Struggle for Hegemony ()"
Outside Jinyang City, Huangfu Chaobo and other generals stood in the middle of the army, watching the incense in front of the army burning little by little until the last bit was burned to ashes, but there was no reaction in the city.
Just when everyone thought that the siege of the city was inevitable, with a "creak" sound, the suspension bridge at the west gate of Jinyang City was lowered, and then with a "rumble" sound, the wall on the west wall The three city gates above were opened at the same time.
The two Zhao army generals drove their horses slowly out of the city gate opening of the central gate, and did not stop until they were a hundred steps away from the front of the Tang army's formation. Then the two of them got off their horses and walked toward Huangfu Chaobo with their hands raised.
What surprised everyone in the Tang Dynasty was that these two generals were not familiar to the army. They were only in their twenties or thirties. When everyone was wondering, they had already walked more than ten steps away from the army.
The two of them stopped and knelt down on the ground in the direction of Huangfu Chaobo. The leader said: "The defeated general Chen Xuan led the soldiers and civilians in Jinyang to ask for surrender. I have not left the city too late. Please come back." Your Majesty, forgive me!”
Huangfu Chaobo was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the generals around him, only to find that the entire army had a blank look on their faces. It seemed that no one knew these two Zhao Jun generals.
"Who are you? Where are Chen Gong and Wei Xu? My king has been here for a long time, why don't they come to pay homage?" Dian Wei, who was next to him, asked angrily at Guo Jia's signal;
"Reporting to your Majesty, Wei Jiang Chen Xuan, Zhao Guoxiang Chen Gong is my father. Wei Jiang does not know the whereabouts of his father and the other adults. I only know that they retreated to the inner city of the royal city yesterday, and no one has come out since then. Now Wei Jiang is inside the city. The highest-ranking general!" The nickname replied neither humble nor arrogant;
"Yes, you are indeed the son of Chen Gongtai." Huangfu Chaobo laughed dumbly: "Who are you?" He looked at the young general behind Chen Xuan and asked;
"Your Majesty, my father is Zhang Wei, the general of Zhao State's Northern Campaign, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan." The young general bowed and replied;
"Oh, it turns out it's Wen Yuanzhi. Your father is still besieged by our army in Guangmu City. Why didn't you go out with the army?"
"Back to your Majesty, it was my elder brother who went to war with his father, and the last general did not go to war with his father."
"Well, do you have any position in the Zhao army now?"
"Back to your Majesty, the general has not been appointed to the position of school captain. Now he is assisting the state captain in training new soldiers."
"Do you know the whereabouts of the other generals?"
"I don't know, general. Yesterday, after the general was recruited, he only asked him to lead five thousand new soldiers and obey General Chen's orders."
Huangfu Chaobo looked at Zhang Wei's expression, which was obviously different from Chen Xuan's. He knew that he really didn't know the whereabouts of other people. When he looked at Chen Xuan again, he still looked upright. Although Huangfu Chaobo It was obvious that his body was trembling slightly, but he had no intention of compromising.
"Hmph!" Huangfu Chaobo snorted, turned to look at Zhao Yun and said: "Zilong, the army has entered the city and taken over the city defense."
"No!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun took the order and left. Soon, 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry separated from the army and marched towards Jinyang City.
Half an hour later, Zhao Yun sent people out of the city to report back. He had taken control of all the barracks, treasuries, and offices in the city. The defense of Zhao Palace was also taken over, and Huangfu Chaobo was invited to enter the city.
"Incoming people, pass the news to Gukou Yu, and the trapped camp and Tiebei camp will follow Gu into the city. The rest of the armies will return to the main camp to station themselves. After the generals of the various armies have settled the army, they will enter the city to discuss matters, pass the order, and reward the three armies." Huangfu Chaobo nodded. He nodded and gave an order to the guard next to him: "You two will enter the city with Gu Gu!"
Huangfu Chaobo said the last words to Chen Xuan and Zhang Wei. After hearing Huangfu Chaobo's words, both of them breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly bowed to agree. The rest of the people also agreed in unison. swear.
After a while, Gao Shun and Dian Wei led their troops to guard Huangfu Chaobo and others, heading towards Jinyang City, while the rest of the troops,
Then, amidst the cheers of the soldiers "Thank you for your reward," they returned to the Tang Army camp several miles away.
When he just arrived in front of the west gate of Jinyang City, Zhao Yun had already rushed out of the city. Seeing that Huangfu Chaobo had arrived at the city gate, he quickly drove his horse over, reached Huangfu Chaobo's side, flew off his horse, and approached Huangfu Chaobo. Bo bowed and said: "Your Majesty, everything in the city is under control. The general just took a quick look inside the palace. There are indeed traces of a large number of people coming in and out. It seems that there should be no less than ten thousand people."
"Yes!" Huangfu Chaobo nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zilong. From this point of view, there should be a tunnel leading outside the city from the palace."
After thinking for a while, Huangfu Chaobo said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you immediately arrange for the cavalry to search within a few miles of Jinyang to see if there is a tunnel exit."
"promise!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately turned around and gave a few instructions to a general beside him, and soon several cavalrymen left, heading towards several barracks in the city.
The group soon arrived in front of King Zhao's palace in Jinyang City. At this time, the palace had been taken over by Dianwei's Tiebei camp and Gao Shun's trap camp. The soldiers who entered the city led by Zhao Yun had all exited the palace and headed for the outer city. Several military camps were set up.
Although the Zhao Palace is not as big as Huangfu Chaobo's Luoyang Palace, it is not comparable to ordinary palaces. Especially in a bitter cold place like Bingzhou, Lu Bu must have spent a lot of money to build such a palace.
"Lu Bu is indeed slack." Huangfu Chaobo was deeply moved, but he was secretly glad. Otherwise, how could Zhao Yun easily annihilate all of Lu Bu's elite troops? Even Lu Bu was killed on the spot.
Huangfu Chaobo did not wander around the palace for long, but came directly to the main hall. He had to start arranging the next battle.
At this time, Huangfu Jianshou, who was responsible for taking over the defense of the entire Jinyang City, led a group of generals to ask for an audience outside the palace. Huangfu Chaobo heard this and immediately ordered the eunuchs to let them in.
Lu Lingqi led the Chen Palace people away, but the maids and palace servants in the palace were not taken away. Only some confidants were taken away by them, and the rest were all left behind, which was convenient for Huangfu Chaobo. At least he had no shortage of people to serve.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Please stand up, all the nobles!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Congratulations!"
"You have all worked hard. Brother, has the city been settled?" Huangfu Chaobo asked Huangfu Jianshou with a smile;
"I am just about to report to Your Majesty that all parts of Jinyang City have been taken over by the Hujieying army, and the city is still stable. However, there are fewer people in the city. According to what I have sent people to understand, not long after the daughter of the Zhao thief and Chen Gong and others returned to the palace yesterday, they sent people to recruit all the officials and their families from all over the city into the palace. Until today, no one has left the palace."
"In addition, the high-level craftsmen and their families from the workshops in the city have all been recruited into the palace, and the money and weapons in the treasuries in the city have all been emptied, and only the grain is left in the treasuries." Huangfu Jianshou took two steps forward to report;
