Chapter 566: Toast to drink
A moment later.
"Okay, Liu Zheng, we are done negotiating, we can surrender, but you have to remember what you said."
After Lu Bu finished talking to the more than 1,000 soldiers behind him, he turned around and glanced at Liu Zheng, waved his hand, thrust the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand into the ground, put down his weapon, and then he got down from the war horse and made a look of being captured.
As Lu Bu discarded his weapons and was captured, the more than 1,000 soldiers behind him were finally saddened and followed Lu Bu and put down their weapons.
Although this part of the soldiers and horses was not afraid of death, and even extremely brave, they faced tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng. It was only in vain that they continued to resist, and after Lu Bu chose to surrender, these people could only surrender with him.
A person's face is gloomy, no one will be happy at this moment because they can surrender, losing the battle and becoming a prisoner, it is always a very disgraceful moment in life, saving life is just a fluke.
After these people discarded their weapons and chose to surrender, Liu Zheng really didn't embarrass them too much. After ordering his men to go up and collect their weapons, they did not even put chains on them.
Instead, they were temporarily held in custody and given them a certain amount of freedom. And Lu Bu and Gao Shun and other generals were temporarily placed in a large tent alone, and they were not imprisoned in a dungeon, and there was no dungeon to hold them at this time.
Liu Zheng quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and then led his men and horses to set up a camp and some defensive measures on the spot.
The reason why he had to make defensive measures so quickly was also because Liu Zheng was worried that the fleeing cavalry would be attracted, and the large army of Ding Yuan in the county town would come to support, and it would be a hard battle at that time.
The reason why Liu Zheng chose the location of the battle ten miles away from the county seat was that he wanted to fight a time difference, and once Ding Yuan in the county town found that something was wrong, it would take time for him to lead his troops and horses over.
In this way, he was also able to fight to eliminate Lu Bu's men and horses in a short time.
Just as Liu Zheng had just finished building the defensive measures, not far away, there was really a sound of horses' hooves. Tens of thousands of war horses galloped over, and soon formed an opposition to Liu Zheng's people again.
If these people had come to the time of a stick of incense earlier, maybe Liu Zheng would have suffered a tragic battle, but now Liu Zheng, who has completed the arrangement of defense facilities, has the ability to fight again.
They were no longer afraid of these horses, and took countermeasures to prepare to start a big battle, but these cavalry led by Ding Yuan saw that Lu Bu's men and horses had been completely wiped out, and the fighting had stopped here, so they did not attack rashly, but the two sides stopped at a distance of a few hundred meters, and began to confront each other and watch.
The cavalry who rushed over hesitated for a while, and finally chose to leave.
Liu Zheng, who was still a little excited, immediately felt regretful. If Ding Yuan charged the remaining 10,000 cavalry at this time, Liu Zheng would suffer heavy losses and lose some of his soldiers and horses. However, he can also use the remaining centaurs to completely destroy the enemy.
Maybe you can directly leave Ding Yuan here and get rid of the enemy in one fell swoop, once and for all.
It's a pity that Ding Yuan was still more cautious and did not choose to charge, but chose to retreat and continue to return to the county seat.
This made Liu Zheng dare not attack rashly, after all, the enemy's 10,000 cavalry was still a great threat.
Relying on some defensive measures to fight a defensive battle, Liu Zheng still has a few chances of winning, but if it is a pursuit, a charge by the opponent's cavalry on this plain is very likely to cause Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses to suffer a big defeat.
In this way, Liu Zheng could only postpone the plan to eradicate Ding Yuan for the time being, and stabilize the existing advantages first.
Liu Zheng was not in a hurry to attack, and after solving Lu Bu, Ding Yuan became more passive from the initiative, and Liu Zheng was also happy to do so, and after instructing Xu Huang to pay attention to the surrounding dynamics, he withdrew his men and horses to Baling County.
Liu Zheng wanted to surrender Lu Bu and the soldiers and horses behind Lu Bu first, and then deal with Ding Yuan and the remaining cavalry.
Returned to Baling County. Liu Zheng asked Lu Bu to take him to his mansion alone, and for the sake of safety, Liu Zheng still asked Dian Wei to protect himself.
Although there is only one Dian Wei, Liu Zheng is not afraid of Lu Bu.
Although Lu Bu's strength is strong, it is just that he is strong on the horse. In the absence of a war horse and no weapons, Lu Bu is a toothless tiger, and he cannot make Liu Zheng afraid, and at the same time, there is Dian Wei on the side to guard at any time, once Lu Bu has a heart of disobedience, Liu Zheng is still a little sure that he can kill Lu Bu in a short time.
Lu Bu was led by the guards to the reception hall of Liu Zheng's temporary mansion.
As soon as he saw Liu Zheng, who was waiting here, the deep expression on Lu Bu's face showed a bit of solemnity, and he was already guessing what Liu Zheng meant by calling him over.
Without waiting for Lu Bu to speak, Liu Zheng went up to greet him with a smile.
"Brother Fengxian, I said that we had the opportunity to sit together and have a good time, you see that it has been realized so quickly, come on, please sit down, I will toast you first."
Liu Zheng picked up the wine glass on the table, gestured to Lu Bu, and then put it to his lips and drank it all.
When he met Lu Bu for the first time that day, he said that they would sit together and drink together when they had the opportunity in the future, but Liu Zheng didn't expect this day to be so fast.
Lu Bu looked at the hall, in addition to Liu Zheng, there were only a few guards, and Dian Wei who was standing beside Liu Zheng.
After there was no one else, Lu Bu was also bold, took a few steps forward directly, sat opposite Liu Zheng, and then picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his head, and drank it all.
After drinking a glass of wine, Lu Bu exhaled and let out a refreshing sigh.
"Good wine, I didn't expect to be able to drink such a fine wine at this time."
"Naturally, it's a good wine, but this wine is only available to my subordinates, and you can't drink it anywhere else."
When Liu Zheng saw Lu Bu praising his wine, he immediately affirmed that these wines were distilled by using modern knowledge. Water wine made by improving the brewing techniques of the Three Kingdoms period.
The wine of the Three Kingdoms period, said to be a little reluctant, the alcohol content is too low, it is estimated to be about the same as beer, and most of it is some rice wine, turbid water, and there is not much wine taste when drunk, it is an astringent taste.
This is also no way, after all, there are no distilled spirits at this time, only some fermented spirits.
Liu Zheng, as a modern person, naturally likes to tinker when he has nothing to do, he uses the distillation method to purify those fermented liquors, although it is not a distilled spirit, but it is completely possible to make the alcohol purer than the original and taste better.
