Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 359
Gongsun Yuewan never expected that there would be ten heavily armed soldiers standing in the room, their swords out of their sheaths, shining coldly, while Chunyu Qiong was sitting beside the table, obviously the snoring just now was intentional.

"what--"

At this moment, there was a scream from behind, and Gongsun Yue hurriedly turned around, only to see that the two attendants he had brought were also killed.

"You...you are so brave!" Gongsun Yue was frightened and hurried out the door, shouting: "Are you going to rebel?"

He had only stepped out of the door with one foot, and the back of his heart was pressed against the point of the knife, and his whole body froze suddenly, not daring to move.

Chunyu Qiong then patted her round belly and laughed and said, "General Gongsun, it's safer to go inside."

Gongsun Yue's face turned pale, and he knew that he might have fallen for the trick. It must be a lie that Sun Li's deployment of troops just now, he swallowed and walked into the room, cursing loudly: "Chunyu Qiong, you are desperate, my elder brother kindly took you in, why? Do you want revenge for kindness?"

"Hahaha, Gongsun Zan?" Chunyu Qiong looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "How can a mere Zhonglang general make this general surrender? He is in danger now. He has just escaped from the vortex, how can he jump into the fire pit again?"

Gongsun was more shocked: "You...what do you mean?"

Chunyu Qiong snorted coldly, pointed at the soldiers around him and said, "The matter has come to this, why do you need to ask more questions? If you are sensible, quickly take off your saber and drink with this general here, it would be decent, and it would be a good idea." It can be regarded as compensation for your care of this general for half a month, if not, you will suffer from flesh and blood."

Gongsun Yue sighed helplessly, took off his saber, came up to him and gritted his teeth: "Could it be Liu He's plan for all this?"

Chunyu Qiong nodded slightly, poured him a glass of wine, toasted and said with a smile: "General, please sit down."

Gongsun Yue's face was gloomy, and he stood there with his head bowed in silence. Gao Tang was not safe, and Sun Li went to Pingyuan City again. Once he entered the city, Pingyuan would be lost, and Gongsun Zan was in danger in Jinan.

When the two were drinking in the room, Ma Tai went out with Gongsun Yue's sword and sent an order to the defenders that Gongsun Yue would drink with Chunyu Qiong today, no one should disturb him, and he would be responsible for patrolling at night.

The garrison in the city had long been accustomed to it. Seeing Ma Tai volunteering to defend the city, of course they were happy to take turns, and they all went to drink and rest.

After the third watch that night, Ma Tai opened the west gate of Gaotang and welcomed Hao Zhao into the city. At dawn, Hao Zhao captured Gaotang without bloodshed and put Gongsun Yue under house arrest in the back hall, waiting for Liu He's fate.

In the early morning of the second day, Sun Li's reinforcements also arrived outside Pingyuan City, and men and horses called for the gate from the east. Tian Kai heard the news and hurried to the city to watch.

Tian Yu stopped him and said: "We never asked for help, why did reinforcements come here? I'm afraid there may be fraud."

Tian Kai waved his hand and said, "Nephew, you're worrying too much. It must be Gongsun Zan who sent someone to send a letter to Gongsun Yue to send reinforcements."

Tian Yu frowned slightly, and said: "The reinforcements came to the south, but Liu He divided his troops to intercept them. It's really abnormal that it went so smoothly. It's best to ask my uncle for clarification."

Tian Kai thought so, and went to the city to question again. Sun Li shot Gongsun Yue's letters and official documents into the city with arrows.

Tian Yu looked at it carefully, and pondered: "This matter is too strange, why did Liu He remain indifferent when the reinforcements came here? Could it be that he did the opposite and divided his troops to attack Gaotang again?"

Tian Kai frowned slightly and said: "The reinforcements are coming from afar. There are still enemy troops outside the city. Let's bring them into the city first and then discuss it."

Tian Yu was still hesitating. Suddenly, drums were beating loudly at the north gate, and soldiers came to report that a group of troops was coming from the north to kill. Tian Kai knew that they were coming to chase reinforcements, so he quickly ordered someone to open the door and let Sun Li in. In the city.

The three of them came to the government office. Tian Kai asked about the situation in Gaotang, and found out that Chunyu Qiong had brought many troops and Gaotang was well-defended. Gongsun Yue was worried that the plains could not be defended, so he sent troops to support.

With all doubts in his heart, Tian Kai ordered Sun Li to guard the east gate. The arrival of reinforcements greatly boosted the confidence of the defenders in the city. Hearing that Gongsun Zan would be able to come to rescue after one month of guarding, there was some hope.

Since Sun Li entered the city, Tian Yu always felt uneasy, but Sun Li brought Gongsun Yue's handwritten letters and official documents, but he couldn't see any flaws. After three days in a row, seeing that Sun Like was doing his duty, he no longer had any doubts.

Sun Li had heard Liu He talk about Tian Yu a long time ago, and he dealt with it carefully after entering the city, without revealing any flaws. Even if Tian Yu was cautious, how could he have expected that Chunyu Qiong was a false surrender?
Seven days after entering the city, Sun Li already knew everything about the city. He knew that Tian Yu was taking a rest today and that night a fire horn was lit on top of the city. Yan Liang, who had been waiting for a long time, entered from the east gate.

The dull sound of horseshoes broke the tranquility of the night. When the guards on patrol beat the gong to warn, Yan Liang had already driven straight along the street and rushed to the west gate.

The rest of the defenders fled in all directions. The soldiers opened the west gate, and Wen Chou, who was responding, also rushed in. The whole Pingyuan City was full of shouts and flames lit up everywhere. I don't know how many people rushed into the city.

Qu Yi, who entered the city together with Sun Li, led the Xiandeng army to the north gate, where the defenders were in a hurry to stand on guard, but they didn't expect that someone would suddenly come out from behind, and they were caught off guard and fled in panic.

Tian Kai woke up from his sleep, put on his clothes in a hurry and got up, and then he walked to the gate of the government office. He saw a general with a horizontal gun rushing to him immediately, and shouted: "The descendant will not be killed!"

Tian Kai was shocked and said: "How did you...enter the city?"

At this moment, Tian Yu also arrived with his guards. Seeing this situation, he sighed helplessly: "Uncle, I'm afraid that Sun Li is Liu He's man."

Tian Kai was puzzled, Wen Chou had dismounted from his horse, led his troops into the government office, tied up Tian Kai's uncle and nephew, and escorted Liu He into the city.

The morale of the defenders in Pingyuan City was already low and their morale was low. At this time, the city was broken, and there were not many rebels.

When Liu He came to the government office, he personally untied Tian Kai and the two, saying, "Gongsun Zan doesn't care about the common people, he is surly and suspicious, Pingyuan was attacked for half a month and he didn't come to rescue him, so it's obviously the end of the road. Both of you are from Youzhou, why not?" Help me pacify Hebei so as to keep my father and elders safe?"

In fact, Tian Kai had been disappointed with Gongsun Zan for a long time. Seeing that Liu He really ignored the past, he immediately bowed to the ground with Tian Yu: "I am willing to listen to the general's order."

Liu He lifted the two of them up, patted Tian Yu on the shoulder, and sighed: "I have heard about the talented people of the country, and I have sent people to inquire for a long time, but there is no news. Unexpectedly, I have arrived in Qingzhou."

Tian Kai had heard about Liu He's ability to know people a long time ago, and seeing how much he valued Tian Yu, he hurriedly said: "My nephew knows the art of war and is good at leading troops. If he is supported by the general, he will surely make great achievements."

Tian Yu was also a little flattered, bowed and said: "I would like to serve the general."

Unexpectedly, the sky was bright, and since then the entire Pingyuan County has been captured. Liu He sent an order to reward the three armies, and arranged a banquet to scare the generals in the city.

During the meeting, Tian Kai asked about Sun Li and knew that Chunyu Qiong was sent to feign surrender. Everyone admired Liu He's sophisticated plan, and it was hard to guard against Liu He's sophisticated arrangement.
