After forcing Li Jinquan to retire, Dong Zunhui celebrated the New Year at home for the first time, which was the second year he had spent in ancient times. During the Chinese New Year last year, Dong Zunhui was still in Kaifeng Prefecture. He was pushed to the forefront of the epidemic prevention and control. He was frightened and did not have a happy New Year. This year, he made many military achievements, not only took the position of a sixth-rank official, but also married a beautiful wife. Most importantly, being able to be with his parents is finally a sight!

Dong Zunhui would not have thought that at this time in history, Suizhou had been captured by the enemy, and even his old mother fell outside and suffered a lot. He always thought that he was acting according to history, but he did not expect that he had changed history long ago.

Guo Wei only granted him a one-month holiday. On the 22nd day of the first lunar month, it was the end of the holiday. However, the newly married Dong Zunhui and Gao Guiying were as sweet as honey, so how could they bear to separate?!

It just so happened that Guo Wei ordered Dong Zunhui to escort Le'an back to Jingzhao Mansion. Anyway, Le'an and Gao Guiying were familiar with each other, so Dong Zunhui asked Gao Guiying and Le'an to accompany him and return to Jingzhao Mansion together. However, because of Le'an, Dong Zunhui did not ship with them. Dong Zunhui was relieved to have Yingying serve them.

Dong Zunhui felt pitiful of Yingying's life experience. He took her home a few years ago. He originally wanted to be a maid for his mother. But his mother always felt that she had enough people around him, so she sent Yingying to Gao Guiying. Unexpectedly, Yingying and Gao Guiying and Le'an were very close to each other. The three of them got together and kept chattering.

When he came, he went down the current, and the time was used very short. When he returned, he had to go up the current. Even with the help of sails, the speed of the ship dropped very slowly. However, Guo Wei was very considerate of his daughter Lean. He wrote a letter to Dong Zunhui not to hurry up and give his daughter more time to visit the scenery. How could Dong Zunhui not be happy after receiving the letter? He jumped three feet high. It was not until early February that the fleet left Xiangzhou and headed towards Jingzhao Prefecture. Along the way, Dong Zunhui took a small sampan from time to time to come to Gao Guiying's boat, stealing fragrance and jade.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry to rush, and the fleet took a month to arrive in Shangzhou. It was already mid-March, and the Han troops under Guo Wei were still in the stage of hoarding food and fodder and resting and training, and did not launch an attack. Dong Zunhui ordered the troops to disembark in Shangzhou and rest for three days. As the commander of the army, although he was a little lingering in love with his children, he could not delay the serious business. In the past three days, he struggled with the soldiers, and reduced all the fat he had accumulated during the Chinese New Year.

Three days later, the troops continued to board the ship and headed for Jingzhao Prefecture, and arrived at the Han army camp of Jingzhao Prefecture in early April. Guo Wei could not blame Dong Zunhui for being scolded, but his daughter Le'an was making jokes. Guo Wei wanted to maintain his loving image, so he could only laugh at Dong Zunhui for a while.

Le'an is Guo Wei's third child and his first daughter, and is most favored by Guo Wei. With Le'an's love, Dong Zunhui was just laughed and scolded, and was let go. Besides, Dong Zunhui is just a sixth-rank official, and even if he delays returning to the camp a little, it will be fine for the overall situation. Moreover, Guo Wei just got good news, and Gongsun Nian, the general under Wang Jingchong, sent someone to secretly present a surrender.

It turned out that with the mutual defeat of Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan, Fengxiang Mansion was already filled with sorrow. In addition, Zhao Hui was jealous of Bai Wenke, Guo Congyi and others, and despite the cold winter, he frequently launched attacks on the city. All the knowledgeable people in the city knew that the day of breaking the city was not far away.

Zhou Can, the counselor of Wang Jingchong, had the idea of ​​surrendering. He said to Wang Jingchong: "My lord, you used to echo Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan, and they were in harmony with each other, so they remained in this way. But now they have both been defeated by the Han army, and we are the only one town to defend. Once Guo Wei enters here, we cannot resist at all! I know that the lord sent people to Shu for help many times, but Shu was defeated by the Han army twice in a row, which is really not enough! Lord, let's surrender while Guo Wei's main force has not arrived yet!"

Wang Jingchong sighed and said to Zhou Can in a low voice: "I made a mistake for a moment and I have implicated you. I really regret it! You advised me to surrender to the Han army, which is also for me. However, if the city is broken, can you avoid death if you surrender? Didn't Zhao Siwan surrender some time ago? As a result, he was still executed by Wang Jun and Guo Congyi!"

Zhou Can sighed, said a few words of comfort, and stood up to say goodbye. Zhou Can said in his heart: Although Zhao Siwan is dead, his subordinates have not been executed. As long as they do not participate in Zhao Siwan's final rebellion, they can save their lives. It seems that the lord is too selfish and wants to drag us to die together. When the disaster comes, everyone can fly away, and now it is impossible to blame me!

Zhou Can quietly came to Gongsun Nian's mansion and secretly planned the surrender with him. Gongsun Nian did not participate in several attacks on the Han army, nor did he have a vengeance with the Han army like Zhang Silian, so when Zhou Can persuaded him, he agreed to conspire with him to surrender. The two secretly attracted many officers who were determined to surrender. Everyone was in love. The turtleman looked at the mung beans and wrote a blood letter to send someone to Guo Wei's tent.

Wang Jingchong was not idle either. Although he was in a desperate situation, he did not give up on himself and supervised the battle on the city tower every day. Seeing that Zhao Hui urged the soldiers to attack every day, the Han army was serving their lives, and bravely moved forward bravely. Zhao Hui's main attack direction was placed in the north corner of Fengxiang Mansion. The soldiers of his troops rushed to the city wall many times and were beaten back.

As Wang Jingchong looked at it, a plan suddenly came up. He summoned Zhou Can, Gongsun Nian, Zhang Silian and other close generals and said to everyone: "I see that Zhao Hui's elite troops are concentrated in the north direction of the city. It is better to burn the East Gate to surrender at the fifth day of the day. Zhao Hui saw that the East Gate was on fire, and he would definitely transfer all his troops to the East Gate and take the opportunity to attack the city. Zhou Can and I can lead the elite troops, and be killed by the North Gate and attack Zhao Hui's troops. If we win by chance, we will reorganize the entire army and retreat into Shu Kingdom. If the attack fails, it will be just a death. It is much better than waiting for death!"

Everyone accepted the order in unison. Wang Jingchong remembered the information submitted by his subordinates, saying that Zhou Can and Gongsun Nian had close contacts and were now in a position to guard others. Wang Jingchong ordered again: "General Silian, you and General Gongsun should be guarded at the east gate together, and Zhao Hui really took advantage of the situation and went in!"

Gongsun Nian felt cold when he heard this. Later, he discussed with Zhou Can and decided to make a real countermeasure. The next night, Zhou Can commanded the troops to Wang Jingchong's mansion with several officers who were willing to surrender. While Wang Jingchong was not prepared, everyone poured vegetable oil near the mansion, piled firewood, and lit a fire!

When Wang Jingchong discovered it, the fire spread so much that he could not escape. Moreover, there were archers guarding the door. As long as he saw a figure, he would shoot an arrow! Now, Wang Jingchong could only sigh and bury his whole family in the fire!

Seeing a fire lit in the city, Gongsun Nian immediately launched an attack and surrounded Zhang Silian's troops who were caught off guard. Then he opened the city gate and surrendered to the Han army outside the city. Fengxiang Mansion was pacified!
Chapter completed!
