When they returned to Qianhu Suo, Chang Wei complained, "Brother, we haven't killed enough. These soldiers are nothing to be afraid of. Let's go out and kill them all. I guarantee that we will kill them all."

"Yes, big brother, I know you are doing this for our own good and don't want to see any casualties among us, but we have been training for so long and have never had a chance to fight. The brothers all want to make meritorious deeds so that they can follow you and become gods in the future."

"Brother, these soldiers will definitely not be able to break through the Qianhu Suo, so let us go out and fight."

“…”

Everyone asked to join the battle, but just when they were getting excited, they were called back. They were really unwilling to do so.

Pei Yun was speechless when he saw how anxious these people were. Why were they all warmongers? However, he could also understand their feelings.

He said, "There will be plenty of opportunities to fight in the future, so defend first."

After hearing this, everyone had no choice but to climb up the city wall again.

Meng Chao had already led his men to the open space at this time. Seeing the corpses on the ground, he was furious. He never expected that the battle would end so soon.

3,000 soldiers came to attack the Qianhu Suo, but they were defeated without even a splash, and a captain died as well.

He also saw the whole picture of the Thousand Households Unit, and his pupils suddenly shrank. No wonder Yuan Zheng was making excuses. It turned out that the Thousand Households Unit was built like a fortress, which was indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Without siege weapons, it would be difficult to attack.

Meng Chao felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have volunteered to fight. If he didn't, the prince would put pressure on Yuan Zheng, and Yuan Zheng would have to attack. When Yuan Zheng had almost consumed the Thousand Households, he would come forward and take down the Thousand Households in one fell swoop.

But now he is in a difficult situation. If he fights, he may suffer heavy losses and may not be able to win.

Let's not fight. I have boasted in front of the prince. If I retreat now, it will only leave a bad impression on the prince.

For a moment, Meng Chao was in a dilemma.

After thinking about it, he decided to try to persuade Pei Yun to surrender. Although he knew the possibility of success was slim, there was no harm in trying. What if he succeeded?
