Chapter 798: Intimidation
Liu Zheng once again gathered his soldiers and horses under the city of Xiangyang City.
And call Liu Biao's name and let Liu Biao come out.
Liu Biao and the others in the city were naturally shouted by Liu Zheng again and shouted to the upper floor of the city.
Liu Biao, who had not slept well all night and had just rested for a while in the morning, yawned and ran up to the city tower.
When Liu Biao appeared on the city tower again, he saw Liu Zheng under the city, but he was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand what Liu Zheng wanted to do.
"Liu Zheng, what are you calling, if you want to attack the city, just try it, don't disturb the old man's rest if it's okay."
Liu Biao yawned, obviously a little tired when he spoke.
Liu Zheng looked at Liu Biao's attitude, but he was a little surprised, this fire burned his butt, Liu Biao was still so calm.
"Nothing? Who said it's okay, I said Liu Biao, don't you know your situation. ”
"What is not in a situation, my Xiangyang City, the city is strong and has a lot of food, it is not so easy to be beaten down by you, what am I afraid of."
Liu Biao was actually forcibly pretending to be calm, otherwise he, the lord, would be panicked, and the people under him would be even more at a loss.
Only by showing some signs that they can still hold on can they ensure that this city will not be defeated by Liu Zheng's 20,000 people.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng didn't say much, just sneered, then turned his head and looked at Xu Huang behind him.
After signaling to Xu Huang, Xu Huang quickly understood what Liu Zheng meant, and brought Ding Yuan and the others who had been caught before.
Although Ding Yuan was not tied up, Ding Yuan was given a lot of freedom, but at this time Ding Yuan was still a little embarrassed, the armor on his body was in tatters, even the helmet was gone, and his hair was scattered in one place.
"Liu Biao, look at who this is!"
Liu Zheng shouted hard at the city tower.
This sentence was very loud, not only attracting Liu Biao's attention, but also attracting those people around Liu Biao.
They all poked their heads out and looked down at the city.
As Liu Zheng guessed, they didn't recognize who the person standing under the city was at first sight.
All of them have some doubts.
But I don't know who it is, so I shouted in the crowd.
"That'...... Isn't that Lord Ding Yuan? ”
"Ding Yuan!"
After someone shouted out Ding Yuan, when everyone was still confused, they immediately overlapped this person's appearance with Ding Yuan, and this time more people recognized the person in front of them, which was Ding Yuan.
"Isn't Lord Ding Yuan guarding Gangneung? How did it end up here? ”
"Lord Ding Yuan, was he arrested by Liu Zheng?"
"Could it be that what Liu Zheng said before is true? Did he really send people to block the road from Gangneung and Hanyang to here? ”
Because of Ding Yuan's appearance, those who recognized Ding Yuan immediately thought more about it.
Originally, I didn't have much trust in Liu Zheng's words, but at this time, it was like a catharsis, and I took what Liu Zheng said before seriously.
"No wonder! No wonder the eldest prince's soldiers and horses have not come back to support Xiangyang until now, could it be that the eldest prince was also arrested by Liu Zheng's people! ”
"It should be, even if you are not caught by Liu Zheng, you will definitely suffer heavy losses in the battle with Liu Zheng's men and horses."
"It's over, it's over, our Xiangyang City is finished, there are no reinforcements!"
For a while, more people thought about it.
Xiangyang, which originally had some hope of survival, was like the last straw that crushed the camel at this moment.
An atmosphere of despair permeated the tower.
Even Liu Biao himself immediately blackened his face at this time, looked at Ding Yuan, and did not speak.
He also recognized that person as Ding Yuan, but what if he recognized Ding Yuan.
Add more psychological pressure to yourself?
This is obviously not what Liu Biao wants to see.
While everyone was talking, Liu Biao immediately scolded loudly.
"It's not Ding Yuan, the people in the city are not General Ding Yuan, it's just Liu Zheng who sent people to pretend, how can the 20,000 troops under General Ding Yuan fail so easily!"
Even if he had been pulled out of Ding Yuan by Liu Zheng, Liu Biao definitely said that that person was Ding Yuan, but he still wanted to try to save it.
However, everyone is not stupid, although Liu Biao said that the person was not Ding Yuan, but many people present had seen Ding Yuan and knew that person was Ding Yuan.
"Hahaha, Liu Biao, what's the matter, don't you even know Ding Yuan?"
"You should understand what I mean by pulling General Ding Yuan out, for me, your Xiangyang City is just something I can fight down at any time, and the reason why I haven't done it now is because I think of you, the people of Xiangyang City."
"Once I attack the city, it is the people in the city who will suffer, I don't want to harm the people, you go out of the city and surrender, I can promise you that you will not hurt your life, and will follow your due conditions, to ensure that you are safe for a lifetime, and your children and grandchildren are full."
Liu Zheng once again put forward the intention of surrender at this time.
But after Liu Biao heard this, although he was a little moved, he didn't reply to Liu Zheng here, after all, this matter is very important, so naturally it can't be easily decided here.
Liu Biao hesitated, but still replied to Liu Zheng.
"Liu Zheng, how about you give me three days to think about it?"
Liu Biao didn't want to agree to Liu Zheng, in fact, it was also because he still had the last trace of fantasy in his heart, hoping that Zhang Liao's army in Hanyang could rush back.
Three days is only the last deadline for Zhang Liao and these people.
If Zhang Liao and Liu Qi still did not lead the army to support Xiangyang in three days, then Liu Biao would also know that the reinforcements were hopeless, and surrender might be the only possibility.
"Good. I know what you mean, isn't it just three days, I'll give it to you. ”
But where would Liu Zheng be afraid of these three days, he clearly knew what Liu Biao was thinking in his heart, but he still agreed to Liu Biao.
After all, there are indeed a lot of people in this Xiangyang city, and if the war can be avoided and Xiangyang can be recovered, it will also be a good result for Liu Zheng.
In this way, the two sides temporarily formed a tacit understanding.
For three days, Liu Zheng did not continue to send soldiers and horses to harass outside Xiangyang City, and Liu Biao also calmly waited in Xiangyang City for three days.
In the past three days, Liu Biao would go to the city tower every day to take a look, looking in the direction of Hanyang City from afar, wanting to see if there would be reinforcements coming.
It's a pity that in the past three days, there has not been even a ghost, only Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses have been stationed outside the city, which has brought him a lot of pressure.
