Zhen Yao understood what his sister meant.

Pingyuan fell, Yuan Xi was captured, and the Yuan family had no hope of making a comeback.

If Zhen Mi marries Yuan Xi and completes the marriage with the Yuan family, the Zhen family may be implicated in the future if the Yuan family is destroyed.

But now, with Yuan Xi being captured, this marriage has unexpectedly come to nothing!

This means that the Zhen family no longer has to be forced by Yuan Shao to board his Yuan family's pirate ship.

In this case, wouldn't there be no obstacles to joining Liu Bei?

"Sister, what you say makes sense, but you think more deeply than I do."

"Rather than wait until Liu Bei captures Nanpi in the future, it would be better for us to take refuge under Liu Xuande now."

Zhen Yao's eyes became excited, and he saw an opportunity from the loss of the plain.

But when the conversation changed, Zhen Yao was worried and said:

"However, Father and the others are still in Nanpi. If we surrender like this, will Father be implicated?"

Zhen Mi shuddered and realized the flaw in his move.

It's just that his brother and sister are in the plains, and his father Zhen Yi and the Zhen family are still in Nanpi at this moment.

If someone else surrenders Liu Bei now, Yuan Shao will be furious Under this situation, there is no guarantee that the Zhen family will not be massacred to vent their hatred.

After all, Zhang He has learned from his mistakes!

The two brothers and sisters hesitated again.

At this moment, the sound of killing rang out from the direction outside the house.

The servants panicked. He came in a panic and exclaimed:

"Young Master, the streets outside are full of soldiers from Liu Army. They have entered Pingyuan City!"

The Zhen brothers and sisters were shocked, and their expressions immediately changed with shock.

The two rushed out of the hall in a few steps and listened towards the door of the mansion.

Sure enough, the sound of iron hoofs and shouts of killing were heard from all directions.

This meant that Liu Bei's army They have completely invaded Pingyuan City and cut off their way out of the city.

"Liu Jun arrived so quickly, what should we do?"

Zhen Yao's face turned pale and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Zhen Mi calmed down and let out a helpless sigh:

"It seems that we can't leave now even if we want to, and we can't even fall back to Liu Xuande if we don't want to.…"

In the late spring of that year, 90,000 Liu soldiers crossed the Yellow River and captured Pingyuan City.

"The"Liu" flag finally flew over the land of Hebei

Nanpi City

"Tian Feng, Tian Feng, you disloyal and unjust traitor!"

"You actually surrendered Cao Cao!"

"Hateful, hateful!"

"If I had known this, I should have put you to death in prison when I withdrew from Yecheng.~~"

Yuan Shao beat the table and cursed through gritted teeth.

As early as before the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was offended by Tian Feng's repeated remonstrances, so he imprisoned Tian Feng in anger.

Guandu was defeated, Liyang fell, and Yecheng abandoned its defense...

This series of drastic changes happened too fast.

When Yuan Shao hurriedly withdrew from Yecheng, many Hebei officials, including Tian Feng, were not able to take them with him.

Tian Feng therefore fell into the hands of Cao Cao.

Originally, Yuan Shao thought that Tian Feng would die for him and would rather die than surrender to Cao Cao.

Unexpectedly, in order to win the hearts of Jizhou, Cao Cao personally went to prison to release Tian Feng, which made Tian Feng fall in love with him.

News came from Xizuo that Tian Feng not only surrendered to Cao Cao, but also used his influence in Jizhou to personally write letters to county officials to recruit the counties and states in Jizhou to surrender on behalf of Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao Yanneng was furious and regretted not killing Tian Feng in time.

"When the lord was conquering Cao Cao's thieves in the south, Tian Feng repeatedly spoke against him and made various remarks that shook the morale of the army~"

"Ji guessed that he, like Xu You, had already secretly communicated with Cao Cao."

"Now that Yecheng had fallen, he naturally followed the trend and openly defected to Cao Cao."

Feng Ji had always been at odds with Tian Feng and took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire. Yuan Shaoru was inflamed and cursed Tian Feng again.

Feng Ji rolled his eyes and took advantage of the situation to add:

"My lord, Tian Feng and Jushu are not the lord's advisers. They were officials under Han Fu long before the lord took over Jizhou."

"The two of them are naturally no more loyal to their lord than we are."

"Now that Tian Feng had surrendered to Cao Cao, Ji thought it would be better to execute Ju Shou immediately to prevent him from following Tian Feng's footsteps in the future."

Jushou!

Hearing this name, Yuan Shao was slightly shocked.

When Guandu was defeated, Jushou angered him because he advocated abandoning the defense of Qingxu, so he took him into prison and was imprisoned with the army.

As Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others fell one after another, Feng Ji and Xinpi were not resourceful again, so Yuan Shao thought of Jushu again.

So soon after retreating to Nanpi, he ordered Jushou to be released and temporarily gave him to a small official who was a secretary to copy documents.

Fengji did not do this. We can see signs that Yuan Shao intends to re-employ Ju Shou.

In order to prevent his position from being shaken, Feng Ji seized the opportunity of Tian Feng to surrender to Cao Cao, and took advantage of the situation to make suggestions to get rid of Ju Shou.

"You reminded me right"

"Tian Feng Jushou has offended me many times and is disrespectful to me. They are probably the same person!"

"If you keep him, it will be a disaster sooner or later."

Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, and there was murderous intention in his eyes.

Wen Chou, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but change his expression.

So he immediately left work and raised his hand to Yuan Shaoyi:

"My lord, calm down. Although Jugong and I are not your lord’s subordinates, they have always been loyal to your lord."

"Besides, Duke Ju has always had great prestige in our army."

"In this critical autumn, if the lord kills Jushou easily, I am afraid it will shake the morale of the army and chill the hearts of the men of Hebei."

The murderous intent in Yuan Shao's eyes was instantly suppressed by Wen Chou's words.

Nanpi's 20,000 soldiers are all Hebei soldiers.

Wen Chou is the only remaining general in his army, and he is his pillar of support. (Watch the storm.) For cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Wen Chou interceded for Ju Shou, and he had to give him this face.

What’s more, what Wen Chou said was not unreasonable. With Ju Shou’s prestige in the army, killing him would indeed chill the hearts of the soldiers in Hebei. Shaken the already low military morale

"Since it is Ziqin who is begging for mercy, I will let him die for the time being."

"Yuan Tu, please arrange your manpower to strictly guard Ju Shou and prevent him from secretly communicating with Cao Cao and Big Ears."

Yuan Shao had no choice but to compromise.

Wen Chou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and praised Yuan Shao for his wisdom.

Feng Ji was unhappy and glared at Wen Chou secretly, but he did not dare to say anything more and had to accept the order.

"The daughter of the Zhen family should be sent to Pingyuan City. Send someone to urge Xi'er to get the wedding done as soon as possible so that Zhen Yi can feel at ease."

"When the Zhen family's money and food are gone, how can I recruit troops and buy horses to revive the army?"

Yuan Shao temporarily suppressed his anger and turned his attention to the top priority of marrying the Zhen family.

Feng Ji said with a smile:

"Lord, please be at ease. At this time, the second young master and the daughter of the Zhen family must have gotten married."

"The Zhen family and the Yuan family have been firmly tied together. They both prosper and suffer."

"I expect that in just these few days, he will offer to donate money and food to the lord."

Yuan Shao's face turned from gloomy to clear, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.[]

"Big-eared thief, Cao thief"

"Do you think that if you two join forces, you can really drive me to a dead end?"

"You are too self-righteous. How could I, the fourth generation and the three gentlemen,——"

The proud sarcasm has not yet left his mouth.

The bodyguard hurried in and handed over a battle report written in silk.

"Report to my lord, urgent report from Pingyuan!"

"The Second Young Master's sneak attack on Liu Bei's grain camp failed. All three thousand cavalry were wiped out, and Yan Liang was captured!"

".Liu Bei's army took advantage of the opportunity to cross the river, and all 8,000 of our defenders were wiped out."

"Pingyuan fell, Xinpi was killed, and the second son was captured by Liu Bei!"

In the lobby.

Suddenly, it was like thunder.

The smile on Yuan Shao's face disappeared in an instant, and his body shook violently, and he actually slipped down from his seat.

Feng Ji and Wen Chou changed their colors in shock, and each took half a step back in fright.

"This is impossible, this is impossible——"

Yuan Shao got up from the ground and stumbled down the steps, completely losing his demeanor as the head of the Yuan family.

He snatched the information from his personal guard and opened it with trembling eyes.

Written clearly in black and white.

The plains fell.

Liu Bei crossed the Yellow River.

His best general in Hebei was captured.

His last son actually fell into the hands of Liu Bei!

"Oh my God!"

"I, Yuan Shao, have done something wrong. Why do you treat me like this?"

"Are you trying to make me cut off my descendants? I will cut off my descendants.——"

Yuan Shao fell to the ground, looked up to the sky and screamed in grief and anger, tears rolling down his face.

Feng Ji and Wen Chou hurriedly stepped forward to support Yuan Shao.

The two picked up the information on the ground and looked at it carefully. They couldn't help but look at each other with horrified expressions.

"Zhao Yun?"

"Is it the remnant of Gongsun Zan's command, the Zhao Yun who killed Lu Bu?"

"Zizheng actually bumped into him?"

Wen Chou's voice was trembling, and his face was full of horror.

"Why is this idiot Xin Pi so self-righteous that he incites the second young master to sneak attack Liu Bei!"

"That Deng Mu was far more resourceful than him. He really overestimated his abilities."

"He harmed the second young master and the Yuan family! Feng

Ji gritted his teeth and cursed Xin Pi.

Yuan Shao, who was in grief and anger, was suddenly stimulated and shouted almost madly:

"This idiot Xinpi has caused me to lose all my descendants, how can I just die!"

"If I kill his whole family, I will make sure that he has no descendants.——"

Fengji was already hostile to Xinpi, so he immediately sent an order to kill Xinpi's entire family.

Wen Chou let out a long sigh and said sadly:

"The second young master is the only remaining bloodline of the lord, but he was also captured by the big-eared thief!"

"Lian Zizheng was also defeated and captured, and the Yellow River defense line was completely lost."

"The army of big-ear thieves has entered Hebei, how can we resist it?"

Yuan Shao's figure was shaken, and he woke up from his grief and anger. Endless despair enveloped his whole body.

"I was actually forced to death by that big-eared thief and lost all my children and grandchildren. I was driven to a dead end by him!"

"I, the Fourth and Third Duke of Yuan Shao, am famous all over the world. Do I really want to be destroyed by those people who weave mats and sell shoes?"

Yuan Shao collapsed on the ground, exhausted and helpless.

At this time,

Feng Ji hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said:

"Lord, at this point, we have no choice but to use"

"Please surrender to Cao Cao!".
