Youzhou, Liaodong County, Xiangping City.

Although this Liaodong County was originally under the rule of the Han Dynasty, it was invaded by the barbarians all year round. Most of the entire Liaodong County was once occupied by Goguryeo.

After Gongsun Du became the prefect of Liaodong, he cracked down on powerful people, consolidated his power, rectified his troops, and went to Goguryeo. In a few years, he regained the territory of the county. After that, the princes emerged and the world was in chaos. He then used Xiangping City as his capital and proclaimed himself the Marquis of Liaodong, becoming the veritable local emperor in the northeast of Youzhou.

Because of this, Xiangping City was repaired several times by him and turned into a solid city. Two years ago, after Tian Yu became the prefect of Liaodong, he attached great importance to preventing foreign enemies. He personally wrote to Liu Yu, who was familiar with the situation in Youzhou. Later, while developing Hu City in Liaodong, he recruited Fuyu's small and medium-sized tribes and some scattered Xianbei tribes, while vigorously building fortifications and training the army. In the past two years, it has been very effective.

In the entire Youzhou, there are only two cities with urns, one is Zhuo County, the capital of Youzhou, and the other is Xiangping County.

It is precisely relying on such a solid foundation that Zhao Yun, Tian Yu and Tian Chou can resist the sudden 200,000 enemy troops in this city.

On the outside of the city tower, the three generals were watching the fierce battle ahead with a nervous look.

The 200,000 army surrounded the entire city. The south gate in front of everyone was the main attack of the enemy. A total of 70,000 troops were gathered, and Li Mang, the commander of Goguryeo, was personally in charge of command.

Tian Chou said worriedly: "This time we were in prison and lost several cities. Now Xiangping is surrounded, and the food and grass are only enough for ten days. If Xiangping is lost, a county in Liaodong will be lost to Hu Chief, the people will suffer, and the court is shamed. What face do we have to see Your Majesty?"

Tian Yu also said, "I think this general in Goguryeo is also a man who is well versed in military strategy. It has been seven days since they seized several counties and arrived in Xiangping. The enemy's offensive during the day is tight and the camp defense is orderly at night. Even if we want to attack at night, we don't have the opportunity. It's really a headache."

Both of them seemed to be very unhappy about the current war. However, although Zhao Yun looked solemn, he kept staring at the enemy without saying a word.

Seeing this, Tian Chou and Tian Yu asked, "General Zhao has been pondering for a long time. Could it be that he has a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Zhao Yun shook his head: "Yun is just a martial artist, what's the point? But we and the three of us sent an urgent report to the court for help. We thought we should arrive at His Majesty five days ago. We thought that reinforcements would arrive soon. Yun was just wondering whether we should do something so that we can cooperate with the reinforcements inside and outside."

"General Zilong's concerns are indeed reasonable." Tian Yu nodded and said, "In the next few days, I have been thinking about countermeasures. It is just that the enemy's strength is large and the force is multiples than me. There are also generals who are good at fighting. It is really not easy to seek vitality."

None of the three of them came up with a good idea, and for a moment, they fell into silence.

"Hi, I'm so frustrated." After a long time, Zhao Yun couldn't help but punch the city wall.

"Instead of being trapped in the city, it is better to give it a try, or you can die and live."

When Zhao Yun mentioned the gentian lit the silver spear, he turned around and wanted to go downstairs.

Tian Chou hurriedly stopped him: "General Zhao, don't act rashly. There are only 80,000 soldiers in our army's city, and we must be on guard against four gates. Those who can go out of the city to charge will be at most 20,000 or 30,000. There are also many powerful generals in the enemy. It is not a good idea to leave the city in such a rash manner."

Zhao Yun thought about it and felt it was reasonable, but the depression in his heart was hard to relieve, and the silver spear directly pierced a pillar next to it with one shot.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the downstairs.

"The general on the city tower listens..."

The sound caused the three of them to look over at the same time. They saw a Goguryeo general who rushed forward and arrived about two hundred steps away from the city gate. He pointed a big axe at Zhao Yun and others.

"My general is grateful to the three wise and brave, and extraordinary martial arts. I hereby reply to the emperor, and I wish to give three people a way out today. As long as you open the city and surrender and submit to me, Goguryeo, your Majesty will not only pardon the three of them, but also grant the land of Liaodong to the three, and order you to guard the border for our country and inherit the inheritance of the past."

"Bah!" Tian Yu spit out.

"You Goguryeo is just a barbarian. I am a great man in the Central Plains. How can you let you deceive me? If you wait for the villain, you will not be arrogant even if you succeed in your plan. When the army of our court sends troops, it will be the time when your small country is destroyed."

"Well said!" Tian Chou shouted, "If you know the truth, you can still save your life if you surrender your equipment. Otherwise, as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, Dingjiao and other small thieves will be wiped out in an instant."

The Goguryeo General was suddenly furious after being insulted by them.

"The Han general is bold and dares to speak out until his death is about to come. If he does not surrender, the city will be massacred on the day when the city is broken, and no one will be left behind!"

"You dare!"

Zhao Yun was so angry that he glared at him by this sentence, and his murderous aura instantly rushed into the sky.

"If you have such confidence, even if you come to attack the city, I, Zhao Yun, are so good-looking. Even if you are broken, you will never be completely complete. How can you be afraid of life and death and serve the thief?"

"Baobabababababa..."

A clapping sound suddenly came from behind the general Goguryeo. The sound was not very loud, so far apart that ordinary people could not hear it at all. However, Zhao Yun and the other two were all skilled in martial arts and their ears were very comparable, so they could hear it.

I saw a tall man wearing armor and riding his horse from behind.

"Li Mang!"

All three of them recognized this person at the first time. This was the commander of the Goguryeo expedition. This man was skillful in the halberd technique and had a strong sense of military strategy. Even Zhao Yun and the other three were defeated by him, which shows his talent.

Seeing him coming out, the three of them couldn't help but mention the warning in their hearts to the highest level.

Li Mang looked up at the three of them and shouted, "The three are indeed unparalleled. It is really enviable that you, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, have such soldiers."

Zhao Yun said coldly: "War is a war, and I am here to sell my mouth. What's the point? Everyone in the Han Dynasty is a hero. If you want to persuade us to surrender with a perfect tongue, it would be a waste of effort."

"Hey, General Zhao misunderstood."

Li Mang smiled very cheerfully. Those who don’t know, just looking at his face and smile, would probably think that he is a generous and upright man.

He said, "I am just a little confused in my heart. I want to ask the three generals to help me."

Zhao Yun frowned: "What are your doubts?"

Li Mang clasped his fists from afar, and said, "I have read the poems and books of your country since I was a child. I know that there is a sub-sage saint of your country, Mr. Meng, who once said: The people are the most important, and the country is the second, and the king is the least. Therefore, he has obtained the people of Qiu and become the emperor, the emperor is the prince, and the prince is the chief official."

Tian Yu sneered and said, "The words of the saint are spoken from you, the barbarian, and they are really like being soaked in a monkey."

Li Mang didn't care about his ridicule and continued to say to himself: "I'm very curious. All three of them are generals of the Han Dynasty. The emperor of your country naturally does not allow you to surrender. But if the people of your country ask you to wait for the city to surrender, I wonder if you obey the emperor or the people?"

When the three of them heard this, they were all stunned.

"What's your intention?"

Li Mang smiled slightly, slapped three times with his hands, and then a group of Goguryeo soldiers escorted a group of unarmed and ragged people from the rear to the front of the two armies.

"Stop hitting... stop hitting..."

"General, please help..."

"Come and save us..."

"My parents have been killed by the dog thieves who have been killed these days. The general wants to avenge them..."

"Woooooooooooooooo...mother...mother..."

These people were screaming, crying, or wailing. Their appearance was miserable and inexplicable. Zhao Yun and others felt a little nervous, and a very bad premonition arose from their hearts.

Li Mang shouted again: "There are 3,000 people here, all of which are prisoners from the cities of your country that were captured by our army a few days ago. Some of these prisoners are dead, some are used as labor, and some are unbearable to the humiliation. Only these three thousand people are all the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, and disabled women and children. They cannot carry their shoulders and hands, and it is useless to keep them."

"However, I thought that God has the virtue of being alive, so I escorted them here. As long as you wait for the city to surrender, these three thousand people can save their lives. If you insist on not surrendering, hum, do you see? Every time a stick of incense stick, this general will kill 500 of them until all of them are killed."

"Beast, you dare!" the three of them shouted angrily at the same time.

Li Mang spread his hands: "I dare not, but after a stick of incense, the three of you will know, OK, light incense."

Several soldiers carried a table and placed it in front of Li Ang, placed an incense burner on it, and lit the incense.

Three thousand Goguryeo soldiers put a sword with cold light on the necks of the three thousand people. Zhao Yun and others did not doubt at all that as soon as time came, five hundred of them would land at the same time.

"This... Hu thief, how dare... dare to do this!"

Tian Chou's face was so angry that his face turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly, but he was helpless.

Under the city tower, the three thousand people kept crying and crying for help. Not only did Zhao Yun and the other three bellies be like stings, but the defenders in the city were also affected and the morale of the army was in chaos.

A sharp look flashed between Zhao Yun's eyebrows and eyes: "What a Li Mang, this is a plan to attack the heart. If our army goes out of the city to rescue, it will be ambushed. If it is not rescued, it will not only ruin the reputation of the court and Your Majesty, but also will inevitably be greatly damaged and the city will be insured."

Tian Yu and Tian Chou also understood this, but in this situation, they were in a dilemma. It was to save them and die, and not to save them.

But Li Mang himself retreated under his Hualuo umbrella, got off the horse's back, sat on a warm carriage, and ate the fruit leisurely.

"Damn it!" Zhao Yun was extremely anxious as the incense burned shorter and burned.

Seeing that the incense had burned about two-thirds, suddenly, a fruit core was thrown over, and it was hitting the incense and smashing it off on the spot.

"Oh, it's really a coincidence. Li threw a pit of fruit, but he smashed the incense stick without thinking. It's so God's will. This is God's intention to burn the incense stick soon."

"You...you are shameless!" Zhao Yun and the other two cursed.

Li Mang put his hands on the cushion, and his expression suddenly became fierce.

"Since the three of you refuse to surrender, don't blame Li. Those great Han people listen, it's your great Han's own general who killed you today. Don't come to take revenge after your death."

Then, he used his hand instead of the knife and made a chopping gesture.

"Thief! You dare..."

Before Zhao Yun could finish his words, five hundred big swords fell down at the same time, followed by five hundred heads, rolling down.

"Ah...Help..."

"General, how can you not save me when you die!"

"Surrender, surrender, General..."

"We want to live, we want to live, General, surrender quickly..."

"You have killed us. You are not worthy of being the generals of the great man, you are not worthy of!"

The remaining 2,500 people were shouting at the city tower at the top of their lungs.

"General, let General Mo go out of the city and save them back!"

"General, the last general is willing to go!"

"I will go together!"

Many generals on the city tower petitioned.

At this time, Zhao Yun's lips had been bitten by himself, and fire could almost ejaculate from his eyes, staring at Li Mang.
