Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 178: Jin Chan escapes from his shell, Yuan Shu flees?

The general's mansion was in chaos.

With the sound of surrender coming from the city gate, people were panicked.

But when Yuan Shu and Yuan Yao came back with hundreds of soldiers, they killed more than a hundred people who took advantage of the situation, and then completely suppressed them.

"Close the door and set fire!!"

Yuan Shu ordered coldly.

This made Yuan Yao's face look full of confusion: "Father, what are you doing?"

"Shouldn't we be burned to death inside by closing the door and setting fire to it?"

"It's not the time to despair yet, people from the other three gates are on their way."

"We still have [-] elite soldiers, enough to fight Lin Fan to the death."

Wang Hao, the captain of the soldiers on the side, also nodded in agreement: "My lord, the young master is right. It's not the time to despair yet, how can you die like this?"

"We are willing to go out and fight to the death. Even if we die, we will have to cut off a piece of Lin Fan's body."

Hearing the words of his son and confidant Wang Hao, Yuan Shu felt a little more relieved and patted their shoulders: "It's great that you have such fighting spirit."

"But now is not the time to fight hard."

"The morale of our army is already low and people are panicked. Even if we stand up, it will be difficult to drive Lin Fan out."

"It's better to avoid its edge and discuss it later."

"Although Shouchun is lost, as long as we are still alive, Huainan cannot completely fall into Lin Fan's hands."

Yuan Yao and Wang Hao looked at each other, both showing a hint of confusion.

"My father (lord) wants to leave, why don't he go through the west gate?"

"According to our intelligence, there are not many enemies in the other three gates. There are only a few cavalry wandering around. As long as our people rush out, how can they stop us with that small amount of cavalry?"

Yuan Shu sighed softly: "With Lin Fan's shrewdness, no matter which door he walks through, he will probably be caught."

“The only way to go is by taking the unusual path.”

"Okay, don't ask, you will understand later."

"Take away as much treasure as you can, more for everyone, and then gather in my bedroom."

"quick."

"The bigger the fire, the better. The two of you will personally supervise it."

"quick."

Under the urging of Lian Sheng, although Yuan Yao and Wang Hao still did not understand the deep meaning of Yuan Shu's words, they could only obey the orders.

In a short time, the entire General's Mansion was filled with flames.

Hundreds of soldiers stood outside Yuan Shu's bedroom, their faces full of anxiety.

But they followed Yuan Shu in his expeditions east and west, and were his absolute confidants. They were not afraid of death, but they did not want to die in such a cowardly manner.

They died on the way to charge, even though they were defeated, they were glorious.

But being burned alive by yourself here, what's going on?

Finally someone couldn't help but said: "Young Master, Captain, why did the Master let us gather here?"

"If we don't fight out, I'm afraid we won't have a chance."

Yuan Yao frowned: "Don't say anything more. The handsome father will naturally have a way to escape. When will it be your turn to make random suspicions here?"

The soldiers who had been talking in low voices fell silent for a moment, not daring to say anything.

"Squeak."

The door opened slowly.

Yuan Shu looked at everyone's large and small bags with a smile on his face.

"Throw away the big things and bring the small bags of gold and silver."

"Let's go out of town!"

"Out of town?"

"From this room?"

Yuan Shu nodded: "I had thought of this level when I was building this general's mansion, so I dug a tunnel in this bedroom that leads directly to the outside of the city. But I didn't expect this day to come so quickly?"

"The carefully managed Huainan was ruined by Lin Fan." "Alas!!!"

With a slight sigh, Yuan Shu seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

Although Yuan Yao and Wang Hao had already guessed that there might be escape methods such as tunnels, they were not sure after all.

At this moment, hearing Yuan Shu speak in person, the excitement on his face could not be described in words.

Wang Hao was quite excited and said: "Master, be prepared for a rainy day. We can leave Shouchun City unscathed today. Otherwise, it will be difficult to escape without any damage today."

"With my lord's wisdom, it will be easy to make a comeback in the future."

Seeing that there was a way to survive, the rest of the close soldiers' faces were filled with excitement, and they could not stop touting their voices.

It's just that the end of the road has been reached at this moment. Even if Yuan Shu likes these flattering words, he still can't be happy.

"Okay, leave now."

"It's no time to talk nonsense now."

"Walk!!"

As he spoke, Yuan Shu and Yuan Yao entered first, and a group of close soldiers filed in.

In a short time, hundreds of people disappeared into Yuan Shu's bedroom.

The last few people to leave even sealed the entrance and set the bedroom on fire from the outside.

When Yuwen Chengdu came with hundreds of soldiers to chase him.

The entire General's Mansion was already ablaze.

After stopping a few soldiers to ask, Yuwen Chengdu was puzzled when he learned that Yuan Shu was in the general's residence.

He really couldn't understand why Yuan Shu had time to escape instead of reaching a desperate situation, but he burned himself to death in the general's palace.

What exactly is Yuan Shu thinking?

"General, do you want to put out the fire?"

asked the soldier on the side.

Yuwen Chengdu was silent for a moment: "Save!"

"Live to see people, die to see corpses."

"Not to mention how much money Yuan Shu has plundered over the years, how can he be burned by a fire?"

"To put out the fire, just isolate the surrounding areas first, so as not to implicate the surrounding people."

"Inform the remaining three Yuan soldiers who are still resisting that Yuan Shu has set himself on fire in the general's palace. If he puts down his weapons and surrenders now, he will avoid death, otherwise he will be killed without mercy!"

After a series of instructions, several messengers dispersed.

Not long after, Yue Fei also rushed over with his army.

When he saw the general's mansion full of fire, his face was also shocked: "General Yuwen, did you set the fire?"

"Yuan Shu caught it?"

Yuwen Chengdu shook his head bitterly: "How could I set a fire?"

"A lot of money has been spent on this house, and it will always be useful if you keep it."

"I heard from the soldiers who ran out that the order to set fire was given by Yuan Shu."

"That is to say, Yuan Shu did not want to be bound and burned himself to death."

Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Absolutely impossible."

"If you are willing to burn yourself to death, why don't you fight to the death with us?"

"If Yuan Shu hadn't escaped and defended the tower on the city wall, how could the war have ended so quickly?"

"Even if the city wall cannot be defended, there are still [-] to [-] elite soldiers in other places. How could he leave these people to us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a scout came quickly: "Report to the two generals, the Yuan soldiers from the other three gates have escaped from the city and are spreading to the surrounding areas to break out."

Yue Fei's expression changed slightly: "It seems that Yuan Shu has already found a way to escape."

"I thought he still had something to take here. As long as he was greedy, he could always block it."

"I didn't expect him to escape like a golden cicada."

"Ugh!!"
