Three Kingdoms: Take care of Lady Gan on behalf of Liu Bei at the beginning

Chapter 81 Liu Wu enters Yecheng, the fifth family soldier emerges

In Yecheng, as the news of the defeat of the three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang spread back, all the noble families and wealthy families in Yecheng became panicked.

It was really unbelievable to them.

The three brothers of the Yuan family had an army of more than 200,000, but they were defeated miserably when facing the Jiangdong army of only 80,000.

The three brothers of the Yuan family couldn’t even defeat Sun Quan’s army, let alone the Sun-Liu alliance?

Therefore, the noble families and wealthy families in Yecheng were all in a panic.

They are all affiliated with the Yuan family. They live a comfortable life under the rule of the Yuan family. If the Yuan family is defeated and replaced, they will be nothing.

Therefore, all the noble families in Yecheng were in a panic. Many of them even gathered together to discuss whether to join Jiangdong when the army from Jiangdong arrived.

There is no way. The Yuan brothers are hopeless. They have been fighting among themselves before, but now they stop fighting. However, they have never even defeated Sun Quan.

If the Yuan brothers were really capable, they would be willing to support the Yuan brothers in making a comeback even if it meant bleeding heavily. After all, they lived a comfortable life under the rule of the Yuan family.

However, it is obvious that the Yuan brothers are not up to the task.

Court of Justice.

In the hall.

Shen Rong said to Shen Pei with anger on his face:
"Brother, you don't know that the noble families and clans in the city are now discussing joining Sun Quan."

"Don't they know that everything they have is given by the Lord? I really want to kill them."

"Without the Yuan family, how can they live well!"

Shen Rong looked quite angry, but Shen Pei next to him was calm and not as excited as his brother.

However, Shen Pei couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Alas, it's not others' fault. It's the Yuan brothers who are not up to the task. The huge family business has been ruined."

"It's too late!"

Shen Pei sighed and said.

At this moment, Shen Pei felt ironic when he said this again, because the last time he had such feelings was not long ago.

Today, the three brothers of the Yuan family have been completely defeated.

Shen Rong listened to his brother's words, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

In fact, putting aside their loyalty to the Yuan family, looking at what the Yuan brothers did, it was like a hopeless case of fighting among themselves all the time. Otherwise, whether it was Cao Cao, Liu Wu, or Sun Quan, how could they have the opportunity to bully the Yuan family like this.

"Report~"

"General, it's bad, General, it's bad, the Yanzhou army is heading straight for Yecheng, less than 30 miles away from Yecheng, and it's Liu Wu who is leading the army!"

A messenger rushed into the hall and spoke hurriedly to Shen Rong.

"What! Liu Wu is coming to attack us. How many soldiers do they have? And why didn't they report it in advance?" When Shen Rong heard that the Yanzhou army had entered Jizhou and was only thirty miles away from Yecheng, he was immediately shocked and angry. He grabbed the messenger and said.

Upon hearing this, the messenger did not dare to neglect and said hurriedly:

"Reporting to the general, there are about 50,000 troops. They came very quickly, pulling out our scouts along the way, and we didn't even notice them. When they were thirty miles outside Yecheng, they advanced with great fanfare."

"Damn it! Big brother, what should we do? There are still 8,000 defenders in Ye City. With the advantage of the city, it is enough to hold on. We just need the lord to lead the army back to help."

"No!" Facing the impatient Shen Rong, Shen Pei calmly shook his head and said:

"Liu Wu came here in person to take over Jizhou. This is the last resort for you, sir. Otherwise, Liu Wu will have an army of 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers, and even soldiers from Jiangdong."

"Even if Jizhou doesn't fall into Liu Wu's hands, the consequences for you will only be worse."

Shen Pei spoke very calmly, but Shen Rong just felt quite helpless.

It seems that the end of the Yuan family has come!

In fact, resistance will only lead to the complete destruction of the Yuan family.

"Then, then brother, what should we do?" Shen Rong still said to Shen Pei unwillingly.

"Offer Yecheng to me. Also, assist Liu Wu in taking over the counties of Jizhou and leave a way out for you. This is the last thing my Shen family can do for you."

Shen Pei shattered the little bit of hope in his brother Shen Rong's heart and spoke directly.

"This... okay." Shen Rong responded with tears streaming down his face, but gritted his teeth.

"Submit the city. Also, prepare Zhen Mi. She was chosen by Liu Wu." Shen Pei seemed to have thought of something and said.

"What? Liu Wu personally appointed him?" Shen Rong glared at Shen Pei when he heard his words. Murderous intent instantly flashed in his eyes and his fists clenched tightly.

General Liu Wu of the Cavalry Army is coming with his army!
The news spread quickly in Yecheng and caused an instant sensation. People were already panicked by the defeat of the Yuan brothers in Xuzhou, and now they were even more panicked.

Liu Wu came so quickly!

Almost within a day or two after they learned about the battle situation in Xuzhou, Liu Wu led a large army to attack Yecheng.

Just when the noble families in Yecheng were panicking and at a loss.

Following Shen Rong's order, the south gate of Yecheng slowly opened.

Outside the south gate of Yecheng.

In front of the huge black army, Liu Wu, wearing armor and riding on a tall horse, quietly looked at the city gate.

"It's open, the city gate is open! The city gate is open, are you surrendering?"

The soldiers under Liu Wu, who were preparing to attack the city, suddenly became noisy when they saw the city gate slowly open.

"Shen Pei, a subordinate of the Governor of Jizhou, meets with the General of the Cavalry on behalf of the Governor of Jizhou. He is willing to present the seal of Jizhou and ask the court to pardon the Governor of Jizhou."

Shen Pei held the seal in both hands, knelt on the ground, and spoke loudly to Liu Wu.

Wow!
Both the generals and soldiers behind Liu Wu and the soldiers defending Yecheng were in an uproar and became agitated.

Shen Pei actually surrendered to Liu Wu on behalf of Yuan Shang.

Riding on his warhorse, Liu Wu looked at Shen Pei, who was groveling and begging for mercy for Yuan Shang, with his eyes full of pity and admiration, and could not help but sigh:
"The Shen family is indeed a loyal family, but, what a pity, what a pity, they followed the wrong lord."

"Are you willing to give up your evil ways and join the imperial court? Yuan Shang, I promise that I will not treat you unfairly."

Liu Wu admired the loyalty of Shen Pei and the Shen family, and could not help but extend an olive branch to them.

However, to Liu Wu's disappointment, Shen Pei was shaking his head.

Shen Pei said, "Thank you, General, for your appreciation. However, a loyal minister should not serve two masters. Since the Shen family has already pledged allegiance to the Yuan family, then naturally we cannot go elsewhere when the Yuan family is in decline."

After a pause, Shen Pei smiled and said:

"If the Shen family surrendered to the general because the Yuan family fell into poverty, wouldn't the general be afraid that the Shen family would surrender to another party if the general was not in a favorable position one day?"

Liu Wu shook his head when he heard this. He could hear the determination in Shen Pei's voice. He said nothing more. He looked at Yecheng, the center of the four northern states, which was within reach, and waved to Gan Ning, who had been standing aside and couldn't wait any longer.

Upon seeing this, Gan Ning immediately stepped forward, took the seal from Shen Pei, and happily handed it to Liu Wu. "The seal of Jizhou, it seems that the Shen family has given this great general a generous gift."

Liu Wu looked at the seal in his hand and sneered.

Shen Pei bowed to Liu Wu and said respectfully:
"Jizhou still has 30,000 troops, fully cooperating with the general to take over Jizhou."

Liu Wu was very satisfied with Shen Pei's attitude and said with a smile:

"Yes, Xingba took over Yecheng, and Huang Zhong followed General Shen Rong to take over the counties of Jizhou!"

Liu Wu looked at the general Shen Rong who was standing beside him with a livid face and an angry look.

He had already known clearly through the Embroidered Uniform Guards that Yuan Shang had arranged for Shen Rong to stay in Jizhou.

"Shen Rong!" Shen Rong, who was standing beside him, whispered to Shen Rong.

"Yes!" Shen Rong then reluctantly bowed to Liu Wu.

With an order, a large number of soldiers under Liu Wu's command immediately entered Yecheng and began to take over Yecheng.

"Shen Pei has opened the city gate and surrendered!"

"How could this happen? The damn Shen family actually let Liu Wu's army into the city. Traitors, running dogs."

"Shen Pei and Shen Rong are ungrateful people. Master Yuan Shang trusted the Shen family so much that they surrendered the city right after Master Yuan Shang was defeated."

The situation in Ye City had already turned into a mess, especially among the aristocratic families, who were like ants on a hot pan, cursing Shen Pei and Shen Rong.

They had absolutely no time to prepare.

On the streets of Yecheng, Liu Wu and Shen Pei rode their horses.

Finally, Shen Pei brought Liu Wu to a luxurious mansion.

This luxurious mansion was surrounded by Yuan’s troops.

"General, this is where Madam Zhen Mi lives." Shen Pei apologized to Yuan Shang in his heart and said to Liu Wu.

"Oh." Liu Wu's eyes lit up and he waved to the soldiers around him. Immediately, the soldiers under his command quickly replaced Yuan Jun.

"General, I won't accompany you anymore." Shen Pei said to Liu Wu.

Liu Wu didn't say anything, nor did he feel embarrassed.

He walked straight into the luxurious mansion.

[It is detected that the host is in a state of war. Congratulations to the host for occupying Yuan Xi's mansion. It is regarded as capturing Luoshen Zhen Mi. Zhen Mi can be disposed of by the host, and the reward mechanism is triggered. The host can now choose a type of soldier to sign in for the daily family guard. 】

A prompt sound rang in his mind, Liu Wu's eyes suddenly lit up and his feet paused.

"Entering Yuan Xi's mansion is considered as occupying Yuan Xi's mansion and capturing Luoshen Zhen Mi, and the reward mechanism is triggered."

Liu Wu was somewhat pleased with this system's mechanism.

In fact, it can be calculated this way.

After all, this is different from when he married Sun Shangxiang and Cai Xun and others.

Zhen Mi, as Yuan Xi's wife, is actually in a state of war and hostility with him.

Zhen Mi was his trophy.

When the prompt sounded, Liu Wu stopped. Compared to seeing a beautiful young woman, Liu Wu was more excited and couldn't wait to look at the guard options based on Zhen Mi.

Currently, the host can choose the following types of family guards:

1. Modao Army, 2. Yulin Army of the Western Han Dynasty, 3. Black Armored Soldiers, 4. Iron Eagle Sharp Soldiers, 5. Xianzhen Camp, 6. Beifu Army, 7. Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, 8. White Robe Army, 9. Wei Wuzu, 10…

Looking at the guards he could choose from, Liu Wu showed a broad smile on his face. It turned out that the Goddess of Luo River, Zhen Mi, was indeed the most beautiful woman in Hebei.

The quality of these troops that appeared was extremely good.

Liu Wu has chosen military branches several times. He understands that the difference in choosing a powerful military branch lies in the difference in technology and physical fitness.

The system does not allow them to surrender fully equipped, but rather they have no weapons or equipment, just physical fitness and skills. Compared with the last time with Madam Cai, he simply has no choice of soldiers and can only choose a Jinyiwei to make up the number.

But this time it was different.

Liu Wu immediately turned his attention to the strong military qualities and military skills of the troops themselves.

After a while of hesitation, Liu Wu's eyes were fixed on two types of soldiers.

The first is the Mo Dao soldiers. The third is the Xuan Jia soldiers.

The Modao soldiers and the Black Armor Army were both powerful arms of the Tang Dynasty. The only difference was that one was heavy armored infantry and the other was heavy cavalry.

Historically, the reason why the Tang Dynasty army was so powerful at that time was inseparable from the powerful combat effectiveness of the Modao Team and the Black Armor Cavalry.

The Modao soldiers used a weapon called the Modao, which was two meters and three meters long and weighed about fifty kilograms. It could be used for chopping or slashing, and they fought in formations. They were the natural nemesis of cavalry.

The powerful Modao soldiers are enough to be infantrymen to fight against cavalry.

Compared to the simplicity and brutality of the Modao soldiers, the Nizhan cavalry and the Xuanjia army are also very powerful.

The Black Armor Army was established in the late Sui Dynasty, led by Li Shimin himself, and consisted of more than a thousand elite cavalry carefully selected from the army.

These cavalrymen were dressed in black clothes and wore black iron armor. They were divided into two teams, left and right. Their generals included famous generals such as Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie (Cheng Yaojin), Yuchi Jingde, and Zhai Changsun. From generals to soldiers, they were all elite forces.

The weapons and equipment of the Black Armor Army were extremely sophisticated. The black iron armor they wore was invulnerable to swords and guns, and the weapons they used were also carefully selected, cutting iron like mud. Such equipment gave the Black Armor Army extremely high protection and attack power on the battlefield.

The Black Armor Army often defeated the enemy with fewer troops and defeated the enemy with fewer. Li Shimin personally went to the battlefield every time he fought, wearing black armor, leading the troops and boosting morale. The Black Armor Army pressed down on the enemy like a dark cloud, overwhelming the opponent in momentum, so it was invincible and the enemy was afraid of it. For example, in the Battle of Hulao Pass, Li Shimin led 3500 Black Armor Army to defeat Dou Jiande's 10 troops and captured Dou Jiande himself.

The Xuanjia Army is not only well-equipped and highly motivated, but also has flexible and changeable tactics. They are good at a variety of tactical combinations such as flank assault, ambush, and frontal assault, which catches the enemy off guard and causes them to collapse quickly.

The Black Armor Army not only made great contributions to the unification and expansion of the Tang Dynasty, but also played an important role in the war against the Turks after Li Shimin ascended the throne.

Undoubtedly, the Black Armor Army, with its elite membership, sophisticated weapons and equipment, high morale, and flexible and changeable tactical style, has demonstrated amazing combat effectiveness and achievements on the battlefield. It is a very powerful heavily armed army.

Liu Wu's eyes lingered on the Modao soldiers and the Xuanjia soldiers. Considering the improved blast furnace ironmaking and steel pouring method, Liu Wu gritted his teeth and decided to take down the Xuanjia soldiers first. Because the steel pouring method could be used to forge heavy equipment, he might be able to create the Xuanjia cavalry.

Compared with the Black Armored Cavalry, the creation of the Mo Dao requires higher standards and is not easy to make.

"System, I choose the Black Armor Soldier!"

Liu Wu said in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have bound the Black Armor Soldier as the fifth type of family sign-in guard, and you can sign in daily to obtain it! ]

[Remind the host that you can sign in today! ]

When the prompt sounded, Liu Wu immediately saw another vertical column [Zhen Mi & Xuanjia Soldiers] appear on the virtual screen in front of him.

Below the vertical column, there are boxes labeled:

You can sign in today, but you cannot sign in tomorrow or the day after tomorrow,...
