As explained above, Yuan Shao handed over the four gates of Yecheng to his two sons and two nephews, and Yuan Xi was responsible for guarding the south gate.

Of course, Yuan Xi couldn't be watching at the south gate every day, so he handed over the task of guarding the gate to Jiao Touch and Hong Shi.

One of the two is in charge of the day and the other is in charge of the night, changing every three days.

Tonight, Hong Shi happened to be on duty at night again.

Yuan Xi was not a fool, and of course he would not hand over all the power to Hong Shi or Jiao Chu. He also placed a confidant in the day and night defenders to supervise Jiao Chu and Hong Shi.

Moreover, to open the city gate, there must be a talisman kept by Yuan Xi, otherwise no one can open the city gate at night.

Such an arrangement is already extremely meticulous.

Because even if Hong Shi wanted to open the city gate, he still needed the cooperation of Yuan Xi's confidant, and he had to get the talisman that Yuan Xi kept close to him, so Yuan Xi thought it would be safe.

Moreover, after Yuan Xi inquired, Yuan Tan, Gao Gan and Jiang Qi basically had the same method as him.

It's a pity that Yuan Xi overlooked one point, that is, Yuan Shao's general situation is basically gone, coupled with Yuan Shao's meanness and lack of kindness, the loyalty of Yuan Shao's subordinates is far less than before.

The city of Ye was destroyed, and Yuan Shao would perish. Which of these people would not want to find a way out for themselves.

Because of this, Hong Shi easily instigated one person, that is Jiao Touch.

Jiao Touch did not write much in the Three Kingdoms. He was originally a general under Yuan Xi's command. After Yuan Shao died, he rebelled against the Yuan family and made himself the governor of Youzhou. Finally, he surrendered to Cao Cao and was named Liehou.

From this, it can be seen that Jiao Touch's loyalty to the Yuan family is not high.

At the beginning, Hua Yu ordered Hong Shi to come to Jizhou as an undercover agent, and he had explained to Hong Shi the situation of Yuan Shao's generals in detail, including the anxious situation.

That's why Hong Shi dared to rebel against Jiao Chu.

If Jiao Touch is willing to betray the water, things will be much easier.

Tonight, after Yuan Xi fell asleep, Jiao Touch immediately made a move, killed Yuan Xi with a single sword, and stole the talisman of dispatching troops.

Yuan Xi never dreamed that one day, he was killed in his dream, and it was his confidant general.

After getting the talisman, Jiao Chu took Yuan Xi's head and led his people to the south gate to join Hong Shi.

Facing the long sword on his neck, Yuan Xi's confidant looked at Yuan Xi's head. After a battle between heaven and man, he chose to save his life and agreed to cooperate in opening the city gate.

Therefore, Yuan Jun slowly opened the south gate of the extremely tall Yecheng City from the inside.

On the top of the city, nine torches swayed left and right five times, which was the secret signal agreed between Hua Yu and Hong Shi.

Hua Yu was overjoyed when he saw it from a distance, and immediately ordered: "The gate of the south city has been opened, and the whole army is advancing at full speed. We must take Yecheng tonight."

As a result, [-] soldiers and horses were dispatched immediately and swarmed towards the south gate of Yecheng.

At the south gate, Hong Shi and Jiao Touch stood side by side, welcoming Hua Yu's arrival.

Hua Yu's flying horse arrived, Hong Shi and Hong Shi immediately knelt down together: "The last general Hong Shi (Jiao Chu), pay homage to the lord."

"Very good, very good." Hua Yu nodded, "Hong Shi, you have made a great contribution this time, and you will be rewarded heavily."

"And you, Jiao Touch, there will also be a big reward."

"Thank you, lord." The two thanked each other, and Hong Shi said again, "I want to report to my lord, I don't ask for rewards in the end, I just want to continue to contribute to my lord's hegemony."

"Okay, after this battle, Gu will make you a general, and you will have your own part in the future."

"Thank you, my lord." Hong Shi was overjoyed, "The last general will take my lord to Yuan Shao's mansion."

"What happened tonight happened suddenly, so Yuan Shao must have been completely unprepared. My lord can take Yuan Shao down first, then the city of Ye will be at your fingertips."

Just as Hua Yu had this intention, he nodded, "Okay, you two will lead the way."

Immediately, Jiao Touch and Hong Shi got on their horses and led Hua Yu to Yuan Shao's mansion.

The rest of the generals, under Zhou Yu's arrangement, blocked the south gate, and then went to take the other three gates respectively, and first controlled the city defense of Yecheng in their hands.

Indeed, as Hong Shi said, what happened tonight was too sudden, without the slightest sign, and Yuan Shao didn't know about it.

It was not until the south gate fell and the Qin army entered the city that someone reported the matter to Yuan Shao.

"Ah..." Yuan Shao was terribly surprised, did the Qin army enter the city?

All of a sudden, Yuan Shao's mind was completely confused, and his heart was even more frightened.

Yuan Shao knew very well that Yuan Jun's combat effectiveness was not a level behind Qin Jun's, it was too far behind.

If the Yuan army defends the city and the Qin army attacks the city, the battle can still be fought.

But if they fought face to face, even if there were 20 Yuan troops in Yecheng, it would not be enough to kill [-] Qin troops.

"Hurry up, pass on my order, let Wen Chou and Gao Lan lead the army to stand up, and you must stand up to me." Yuan Shao's first reaction was to let Wen Chou and Gao Lan with the highest martial arts come up.

But the soldier was stunned for a moment, and said: "Master, General Wen and General Gao have been deprived of military power by the lord, and they are at home."

"Cough cough cough..." Yuan Shao remembered this, his face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Could it be that the two of them harbored resentment in their hearts, which led the Qin army into the city?"

Yuan Shao didn't dare to easily believe that Wen Chou and Gao Lan were loyal. After thinking for a while, he shouted, "Yecheng can't be defended any longer. Evacuate from the north gate immediately."

"In addition, inform Xianfu and the others that they must fight and retreat. They must preserve their strength as much as possible, so that our army will have a chance to make a comeback."

"Here, my lord." The soldier responded, and immediately went to deliver the order.

After the soldier left, Yuan Shao immediately sent someone to call up his wife Liu and other female relatives, telling them to pack up their belongings and prepare to leave Yecheng.

Money got in trouble.

If Yuan Shao didn't value the money, but immediately left with his wives, concubines and children after hearing the news that the Qin army had entered the city, he could easily escape.

Because although Zhou Yu divided his troops to seize the other three city gates, he could encounter many Yuan Jun obstacles along the way.

After a fight, the speed of the Qin army's soldiers and horses would naturally not be too fast, and Yuan Shao had enough time to escape.

However, after tidying up so delicately and softly, and it was a woman tidying up, I was reluctant to do this, and I wanted to take that away, but I actually packed dozens of large packages, which wasted a lot of time.

As for Hua Yu, he led two thousand cavalry and went straight to Yuan Shao's residence.

With Hua Yu, Hu Che'er, Hu Chi'er, Huang Xu and others clearing the way, Yuan Jun had almost no resistance along the way and was killed one after another. Hua Yu and others easily killed Yuan Shao's mansion.

When Hua Yu led the army to arrive, Yuan Shao had just packed up and was about to leave, but got the news of Hua Yu's arrival.

Yuan Shao was so frightened that he was out of his wits, knowing that it was difficult for him to escape, he quickly ordered someone to close the gate.

But it was already too late, a few soldiers had just closed the gate, and before they had time to insert the bolt, Hua Yu at the gate hit the gate heavily with a halberd.
