The armies of the princes surrounded Shouchun.
Because the princes reached an agreement, there was no longer a situation where work was in vain.
With the agreement, the princes joined forces and attacked Shouchun City without any delay.
Although the combined forces of the coalition forces were several times larger than Yuan Shu's army, Yuan Shu's army of more than 100,000 people relied on the strength of the city wall.
It was not something that the coalition forces could attack in an instant.
For several days, they continued to attack, and there was no one under the city wall.
There was a thick layer of corpses piled up, and the bluestone of the city wall turned black due to being stained with so much blood, and a strong smell of blood spread around.
Both armies suffered casualties from each other.
If Zhang Xun can become a general under Yuan Shu, he will not be some idiot.
He can organize the defenders to resist.
He can advance and retreat in a moderate way.
That's why he has persisted for so long without being breached by the coalition forces.
If it had been replaced by the generals guarding the city who were not very good at commanding before, they would have been breached long ago.
You must know that there are many capable people in the coalition forces.
It is impossible for people without military capabilities to persist for such a long time in the hands of many capable people in the coalition forces.
However, just when the coalition forces were organizing their troops and preparing for the final decisive battle.
The defenders on the city wall suddenly withdrew, leaving the originally crowded city wall empty; even the city gate was slowly opened.
When the city gate was fully opened, the soldiers pushing the gate also Dispersed.
Sun Ce, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Xia Houyuan and other leaders outside the city, the leaders of the coalition forces, saw the situation in the city and did not dare to act rashly for a while.
They had no idea what was going on.
Finally, everyone decided to send a team of soldiers and horses into the city to check.
After all, if they don't seize this opportunity, there will be no next time.
The wide-open city gate allows them to lead the army directly into Shouchun City and attack Shouchun City.
Only by taking down Yuan Shu in the imperial palace will everything end.
When the group of soldiers and horses entered the city to check to make sure there was no ambush or a plan.
Sun Ce, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, Xia Houyuan and other leaders of the coalition led the coalition into Shouchun City.
When the coalition forces entered Shouchun City, they had an unimpeded journey without encountering any obstacles until they reached the front of the palace.
The gate of the palace is also open, and there are no soldiers guarding the tower, just like the situation outside.
Xia Houyuan and others looked at each other and without hesitation, they led the army and walked towards the palace gate.
Go through the palace gate passage.
What caught his eye was that Yuan Shu's army, which had been guarding the city wall outside, all took off their armor, put down their weapons, and knelt down on both sides of the passage.
Directly in front were the civil and military officials under Yuan Shu's command.
They all knelt down and worshiped.
The person in the front was Yan Xiang.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Shao and others fully understood that the reason why the defenders left the city wall and opened the city gate was not a strategy, but that Yuan Shu surrendered and made such an arrangement.
Let the army guard these prisoners.
Xia Houyuan and others led many generals up the stairs.
There was the Jinluan Hall, and they were very sure that Yuan Shu was waiting for them to go up there.
Everyone went up the stairs step by step, towards the Jinluan Hall, and stepped into the Jinluan Hall.
I saw.
Yuan Shu sat on the dragon chair and watched them quietly as they walked in.
There was also a general standing straight behind Yuan Shu, wearing a full body robe and a sword in his hand.
"They're all here," Yuan Shu said calmly.
It was as if the arrival of Xia Houyuan and others had nothing to do with him.
"My son Yuan Shu, you are a treacherous minister and a traitor.

If you don't catch me without restraint, you will tie yourself to Chang'an and plead guilty to the emperor."
Gongsun Zan took a step forward and shouted.
Sun Ce, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Xia Houyuan and others did not speak, but just looked at Yuan Shu.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, haha."
Yuan Shu laughed and scolded: "The winner is just a king and the loser is a bandit, so why bother to find these excuses?
If I lose, I will be a rebellious minister and traitor; if I win, I will be the lord of the world.
How can you wait?
Big man, keep this in mind, and seriously, there is no difference between you and me, it’s just that I did it publicly, and you will only plot behind my back.”
"You, you are unrepentant and just arrogant," Gongsun Zan said angrily.
Liu Bei and others still didn't speak, and still watched quietly.
Yuan Shu ignored Gongsun Zan, glanced at Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, and Xia Houyuan, and suddenly laughed and said: "The Han Dynasty exists in name only, who can replace it?
Hahahaha." puff Yuan Shu, who was laughing, paused, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fell on the dragon chair.
At this time, Zhang Xun, who had been motionless, seemed to have known Yuan Shu's behavior for a long time.
He did not panic when he saw Yuan Shu vomiting blood and fell.
He slowly walked from behind Yuan Shu to the front of Yuan Shu and helped Yuan Shu on the dragon chair.
After sitting down, he helped Yuan Shu wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, walk slowly, I will be here shortly."
Clang pop After helping Yuan Shu tidy up, Zhang Xun murmured something to himself, then drew out his sword, inserted it into his chest, and knelt down next to Yuan Shu, bowing his head and dying.
It turned out that after Yuan Shu decided to surrender in Kaicheng, he had no intention of living anymore, so he drank poison and eventually died of the poison.
"What a pity" Liu Bei sighed.
I don't know if I feel pity for Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun, or both.
"He's quite a man," Sun Ce sighed.
They knew Yuan Shu's choice when Yuan Shu vomited blood, and they did not stop Zhang Xun's actions after that.
After all, it was his decision.
Even if they could stop Zhang Xun now, they would not be able to save Zhang Xun because his heart was broken.
There is an intention to die.
They didn't know how they felt about Yuan Shu.
After his death, some things should be over.
Yuan Shao's mood was also a bit complicated.
After all, Yuan Shu was his cousin and a descendant of the Yuan family, but now he committed suicide in front of him.
The generals who followed Liu Bei and others in came in.
They looked at Yuan Shu, who was sitting on the dragon chair with a peaceful face, closing his eyes and taking poison to commit suicide, and Zhang Xun, who was kneeling in front of Yuan Shu and committing suicide.
They also felt a little emotional in their hearts.
Although they were hostile, they could not The last behavior of the two people was able to gain their admiration.
Yuan Shu had no way to survive, but in the end, with loyal people like Zhang Xun following him, it was not in vain.
"My father once said that if we become an enemy of Yuan Shu and win, we will protect his family.
I don't intend to break the promise," Sun Ce said while looking at Liu Bei and others.
"I have no objection," Xia Houyuan said.
"We don't have any comments" Liu Bei and others did not turn against Sun Ce for any reason.
Anyway, Yuan Shu was dead, and the rest was not that important.
"Shouchun City has been captured and Yuan Shu is dead.
How about we proceed according to our previous agreement?"
Yuan Shao asked.
Liu Bei and others looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
After all, things had been discussed and there was no need for too many arguments.

Moreover, when they surrounded Shouchun, they were able to work together so much because of that agreement.
At this time, no one wanted to tear up that agreement:
