Chapter 390: Chaos in Hefei

The next day, Zhang Yu continued to set off.

Huang Ren was extremely anxious, because Zhang Yu and the others got closer again.

It was only one day away from Hefei, and Huang Ren let the soldiers run it all in one go.

When they entered Hefei City, everyone collapsed to the ground, and many even fell asleep directly at the gate of the city.

This army is so "miserable" that the generals defending the city can't bear it.

The generals guarding the city came to meet Huang Ren in person.

"General Huang, I have long heard that you were hunted down by Zhang Yu. The city has already prepared the barracks and everything for you," said the general guarding the city.

"Okay, but we ran for five days and rarely rested. The soldiers didn't have much fighting power. Zhang Yu and the others were too strong. Shouchun City was attacked without much resistance. You must defend carefully, defend carefully." Huang Ren Said anxiously.

The general who defended the army that Huang Ren said was heartbroken.

In Yangzhou, there is nothing comparable to Shouchun, where the government is located.

Although Hefei is not bad, they are not even a county city, but they are not much worse than the county city.

But after all, they had been prepared for a long time, and they had already received the preparation that Zhang Yu might attack them.

There used to be 5,000 guards in the city, but it was later increased to 8,000, and various supplies were prepared for a few days.

Now with the addition of more than 17,000 people brought by Huang Ren (more than 2,000 from Chengde County.) Then their total number of soldiers and horses will be 25,000, which can be defended.

Later, the county magistrate also came in person and arranged for them to rest.

Needless to say, Huang Ren couldn't do it after explaining, he collapsed and was carried back to rest.

This army was almost abolished, no one could get up, and fell asleep in the barracks.

When they arrived, there was too much movement.

Whether it is ordinary people or aristocratic families in the city, they all saw this scene.

More than 17,000 people, without weapons and equipment, fled back to the city like a refugee.

After entering the city, one by one collapsed.

"Have you heard that General Huang Ren once again escaped from the hands of the big devil Zhang Yu?"

"It's not easy, the Great Demon King still has some abilities, it's too powerful."

"No, neither Dong Zhuo nor Yuan Shao are his opponents, yet Chen Wen dared to provoke him."

"I heard that many aristocratic families in Shouchun took the initiative to cater to Zhang Yu, but in the end they only lost half of their property. Sure enough, Zhang Yu didn't touch them."

"Those cooperative families are all fine in the end."

"Yes, yes, those who didn't cooperate, I heard that not only their property was confiscated, but their people were also killed. It's miserable."

Everyone was afraid, and the major families began to take active actions.

They were all afraid that Zhang Yu and the others would kill them.

It will be miserable at that time.

The aristocratic family was terrified, and the officials inside were also very frightened.

Zhang Yu has a bad reputation.

"Patriarch, let's surrender. General Huang Ren is so powerful that he can't beat Zhang Yu."

"Those aristocratic families who did not surrender will end up miserable."

"Surrender can save half of the property."

"It's good that people are fine, and the family property can be earned again."

The minds of the families began to become active, because different choices mean different fates.

The garrison army also became chaotic, because many aristocratic families had a great penetration into the army, and many generals were attached to these aristocratic families.

Before Zhang Yu and the others arrived, the army in the city lost their fighting spirit.

The reason is very simple, some aristocratic families want to surrender and offer the city in exchange for the safety of the family.

As soon as these families moved, the army immediately wavered.

There are no secrets among the aristocratic families. Seeing the actions of some aristocratic families, many aristocratic families ignored them and followed suit.

The aristocratic family is extremely active, and the city is full of pessimism.

At this time, Zhang Yu and the others had already traveled for two days, and on the third day they were still dozens of miles away from Hefei.

"I'm not leaving today, get up early tomorrow morning, and arrive outside the city of Hefei within two hours." Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhang Yu ordered.

Dian Wei immediately ordered the troops to dismount and set up camp to rest.

After it's done,

Dian Wei came over with a pair of halberds in hand and said, "Master, when you arrive tomorrow, you should rest first and just watch what I do."

After not fighting for so long, Dian Wei couldn't rest for a long time, and asked Zhang Yu not to fight him.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Maybe the guards in the city are also soft-hearted, and they surrendered after a few blows."

"They don't dare, if I don't let Grandpa kill me enough, when I go to the city, I will have their good fruit to eat." Dian Wei said fiercely.

Zhang Yu shook his head with a smile, if that was the case, how could Zhang Yu let Dian Wei mess around.

At night, Zhang Yu and the others set up camp and began to rest.

But under the night, the city of Hefei is not peaceful at all.

"Patriarch, the Li family is preparing to open the city."

"The latest news is that the Zhou family contacted a commander of the city gate with unknown intentions."

"The young master of the Huang family has been staying in the battalion of the guards, so there must be something wrong."

"We have confirmed that Huang Ren's army has no fighting power at all."

"Huang Ren said several times that the city is unbearable. If you can't hold it, it's better to open the city and surrender."

All kinds of news are flying all over the sky, and many aristocratic families are spending sleepless nights.

Zhang Yu didn't know what happened in the city.

However, many major events happened in the city of Hefei in the middle of the night.

"I heard that the county magistrate advocates to stick to it. If we want to surrender Zhang Yu, it is better to control them."

"There is also the general guarding the city. I heard that it is Chen Wen's man. It is a great achievement to arrest him."

"We unite with the Huang family to take down the west gate and open it to Zhang Yu, and we will have a lot of credit at that time."

In the city, many aristocratic families are plotting to open the city gate.

In the middle of the night, many aristocratic families had already linked up and started plotting.

"kill."

Suddenly there was chaos in the city.

There was shouting and killing everywhere.

"What's going on?" The county magistrate was still awake, still checking the city defense matters.

"It's not good, magistrate, the family in the city rebelled and killed them." The magistrate's servant came in and reported.

"Damn it, we want to dedicate the city, pack up and leave immediately." The county magistrate was very decisive, knowing that if the aristocratic families in the city rebelled, it would be difficult for them to hold on, so he decisively chose to leave.

The county government was in a mess, and the county magistrate's servants quickly took action.

The county magistrate also came from a family and knew exactly what was going to happen.

Many of the defenders in the city are from aristocratic families. If they want to rebel, he, a county magistrate, cannot stop them.

Huang Ren, who was in a daze, heard the commotion outside.

"What? Zhang Yu came here so quickly." When someone outside said Zhang Yu, Huang Ren immediately woke up.

Go out and grab someone to ask for clarification.

"Oh, I'm so confused, I want to sacrifice the city and surrender." Huang Ren was about to cry when he heard that.

"No, Zhang Yu has already set his sights on me. I have no chance to surrender, so I have to run." Huang Ren was shocked, knowing that he couldn't defend, so he could only run.

Regardless of his physical exhaustion, Huang Ren had already rested for a long time. After recovering a little, he immediately summoned his personal guards and ran to the barracks.
