Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 638 Minister Zhang Xun pays homage to His Majesty

Yuan Shu's defenders at the south gate of Shouchun City saw the movement of Zhu Wei's army, so they naturally sent news to Zhang Xun, the left-behind general of Shouchun at the first time.

Zhang Xun didn't dare to neglect, and soon came to the gate tower of the south gate, and saw Zhu Wei's car driving in the distance. Seeing the scene of Zhu Wei's army, Zhang Xun didn't understand what happened. Zhu Wei's army has already dug through the city wall, and today they will launch a strong attack on the south gate of Shouchun City.

"It seems that today is going to be a hard fight!"

Zhang Xun secretly sighed in his heart, and then quickly commanded the defenders in the city to get ready.

Now that Zhu Wei's army has dug through the city wall, the south wall of Shouchun City is probably of no defensive significance. Therefore, Zhang Xun has built a thin wall surrounded by the south wall during these days. Wengcheng.

In this way, even if Zhu Wei's army dug through the city wall, they would still be trapped in a small urn city, and Zhang Xun could command soldiers and horses to take the opportunity to kill Zhu Wei's soldiers who came in by various means.

However, Zhang Xun also knew that the internal wall of the urn city he temporarily constructed was not so strong. If Zhu Wei's army used bumpers to hit it, the wall of the urn city would be smashed and collapsed soon.

In this way, Yuan Shu's soldiers led by Zhang Xun could only start street fighting with Zhu Wei's army in the south of the city.

This may delay for a while, but if this still cannot withstand the siege of Zhu Wei's army, then Zhang Xun can only die in Shouchun City.

Zhang Xun is very aware of the combat effectiveness of Yuan Shu's soldiers in the city. This time Yuan Shu took away more than 8 young and elite soldiers, which can be regarded as the core army of Yuan Shu's army. As for the strength of Yuan Shu's troops left in Shouchun City, although there are still 10,000+, But most of them are soldiers with weak combat effectiveness and unstable military morale.

It is not sure whether the troops remaining in the city can block the attack of Zhu Wei's army, or even the invasion of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army.

But no matter what, Zhang Xun still had to put up a final resistance. He could not live up to Yuan Shu's entrustment. Before Yuan Shu broke through this time, he also issued a death order to Zhang Xun, Liang Gang, and Chen Ji. Die in Shouchun.

Perhaps in the original history, when Yuan Shu left Li Feng, Le Jiu, Liang Gang, and Chen Ji to lead an army of [-] to defend Shouchun, he also issued such a death order. So in the original history, after Cao Cao captured Shouchun, these four people None of them abandoned the city and fled, and were eventually captured by Cao Jun and executed in public.

Otherwise, they could have abandoned Ku County and Qi County before, and retreated all the way to Shouchun, so how could they not be able to escape from Shouchun?

It is estimated that Yuan Shu brought their family members as a threat at that time, but Yuan Shu did not leave his confidant general Zhang Xun at that time, but this time Yuan Shu arranged for Zhang Xun to be the main general who stayed behind in Shouchun.

Therefore, Zhang Xun now has plans to die in Shouchun. Anyway, before he dies, he will take a bite of Zhu Wei, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei's army.

With this idea in mind, Zhang Xun looked at the car coming from Zhu Weijun, and there was a stern look in his eyes, but soon there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Zhang Xun saw Yuan Shu in that car, and as Yuan Shu's confidant general, he could of course recognize Yuan Shu.

This time, Zhang Xun's heart was in turmoil. Yuan Shu actually fell into Zhu Wei's hands, so what else could he do, "Oh, it seems that the situation is over. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should I do, Your Majesty!"

"Zhang Xun come out and speak!"

Soon such shouts came from Zhu Weijun. Zhu Wei had already seen Zhang Xun's figure on the city wall through the binoculars, and also confirmed Zhang Xun's identity from Yuan Shu's side, so Zhu Wei also deliberately let Yuan Shu stand there. Before driving, let Zhang Xun recognize Yuan Shu's identity more clearly.

"Your Majesty, minister Zhang Xun pays homage to His Majesty, why is Your Majesty here!"

Zhang Xun walked to the city wall in a few steps, and once again identified Yuan Shu's identity through the arrow stacks on the city wall. After confirming that Yuan Shu was not faked, he couldn't help shouting anxiously.

"Zhang Xun, this is the end of the matter, quickly open the city to welcome the army of General Zhennan into the city! I have entrusted the funeral to General Zhennan, and I need you to take care of my descendants in the future! Open the city gate quickly!"

When Yuan Shu saw Zhang Xun, he also yelled loudly. Of course, he also hoped that Zhang Xun would continue to be a retainer of the Yuan family in the future, so that he could continue to look after his eldest son, Yuan Yao, and supervise Zhu Wei's promise.

"No! Kaesong!"

Without any hesitation on the city wall, Zhang Xun immediately issued an order to open the city gate. He was born as a retainer of the Yuan family, so he naturally obeyed Yuan Shu's order.

So the south gate of Shouchun City opened slowly, and Zhu Wei also ordered his soldiers to step forward to clear the obstacles blocking the south gate, allowing Zhu Wei's army to enter Shouchun City directly from the city gate.

Not long after, the south gate of Shouchun City was opened, and then the gate of the Wengcheng outside was also opened, and Zhu Wei had already made a plan to enter the city, so Pang Yan's Xiongba camp was in front, and Tai Shici's Shenjian camp was behind. Filed into the city for the first time.

Then under Zhang Xun's restraint, Yuan Shu's soldiers located in the south area of ​​Shouchun City abandoned their weapons and surrendered one after another, and were temporarily detained in the original barracks under the care of Zhu Wei's army.

In this way, after Zhu Wei's army completely controlled the south gate of Shouchun City, Zhu Weicai and Yuan Shu drove into Shouchun City, followed by all Zhu Wei's subsequent troops, entering the south area of ​​Shouchun City in sequence.

After that, Zhu Wei asked Zhang Xun to order Liang Gang and Chen Ji, the other two left-behind generals in Shouchun City, to come to see him, but he didn't tell them the truth immediately.

So Liang Gang and Chen Ji didn't know what happened in the south of the city at all. When they heard Zhang Xun's report, they brought their personal guards to the south gate.

As a result, they were naturally surrounded by Zhu Wei's army. After seeing Yuan Shu, the two of them surrendered wisely, and then each took Pang Yan's Xiongba battalion and Tai Shici's Shenjian battalion to take over the north gate of Shouchun City that they were in charge of defending. , Simon.

At the same time, Zhu Wei also sent Zhang Xiu's Liangqi Battalion to take over the east gate of Shouchun City, completely taking over the entire defense of Shouchun City.

At this time, Zhu Weicai ordered people to replace Yuan Shu's banner in Shouchun City with Zhu Wei's Zhennan General's banner, and the military and general flags of each battalion were also displayed on the gates of various cities.

Then Zhu Wei sent envoys to Liu Bei and Cao Cao to inform them that Shouchun City had been captured by Zhu Wei. Zhu Wei falsely invited Liu Bei and Cao Cao to enter the city to speak, but their armies could not enter the city.

And Liu Bei and Cao Cao saw the change of the flag on the wall of Shouchun City. In fact, they already knew that Shouchun City had changed hands. They knew that they were still a step late, but now everything can't be changed.

However, Zhu Wei naturally would not accept their invitation casually, so Liu Bei sent Mi Zhu as an envoy, and Cao Cao sent Dong Zhao again to meet Zhu Wei in Shouchun City...
