Chapter 353: Persuade Sun Jian to surrender
"My lord! It's Sun Jian, it's Sun Jian's bastard, he left us and ran to Fuchun, which led to our defeat! ”
Fan Neng could only blame the news that he was defeated by Liu Zheng on Sun Jian.
After a sentence of shirk, Fan Neng described the words that Sun Jian had said to him before, adding fuel and vinegar.
Among them, the main thing is that Sun Jian refused to continue to encircle and suppress Liu Zheng with him, but gave up attacking Liu Zheng and went back to Fuchun directly, so that he fell into Liu Zheng's ambush and suffered heavy losses, and he could only retreat to Huiji City to Sun Jian.
After all, according to Fan Neng's thoughts, if Sun Jian did not leave, but was outside the city with him, and continued to deal with Liu Zheng, he would have great confidence that he could defeat Liu Zheng.
Liu Miao heard Fan Neng's words, and the anger on his face was naturally self-evident, and it was completely written on his face.
"Sun Jian! Sun Jian mistook me! ”
Liu Jian roared angrily, and his anger towards Sun Jian was indescribable.
"Now, what about Liu Zheng?"
After the soldiers and horses were defeated, Liu Miao seemed to be a little less calm, although he had a lot of soldiers and horses in Yangzhou, but after a series of defeats, the soldiers and horses under his command were greatly reduced.
Now in Huiji City, there are only 20,000 people left.
The 20,000 people, most of them, were not his own elite, but county soldiers drawn from other counties to assist in the defense, and he didn't know what the strength of these county soldiers was.
The main force he can control now is nothing more than the 4,000 soldiers and horses that Fan Neng brought back.
"Liu Zheng has already followed me all the way to the vicinity of Huiji City, or it won't be long before I am afraid that the city will be besieged!"
Fan Neng knew that Liu Zheng's men and horses had been following behind him all along, although Liu Zheng's men and horses had not yet appeared outside the city, but they were definitely not far away, and it would not be long before they would appear outside the city.
"You said that Liu Zheng's people have already arrived outside the city?"
Liu Xuan, who heard the news, was even more shocked, and at the moment, without saying a word, he planned to leave with someone directly.
"Let's go! Let's go now! ”
As soon as Liu Jian heard that Liu Zheng's men and horses were around here, he didn't stop more in Huiji County at all, and immediately decided to leave here.
He has been frightened by Liu Zheng's combat effectiveness, anyway, Huiji County is just one of several counties in Yangzhou, and it is not the seat of state governance, leaving for the time being, it is important to save his life.
He didn't have time to deal with Fan Neng at this time, and he didn't dare to deal with Fan Neng at this time, if he dealt with Fan Neng, he wouldn't be able to find anyone to use for a while.
"Fan Neng, you take 20,000 people, continue to hold on here, block Liu Zheng, I will return to Shouchun now, and find a way to continue recruiting soldiers and horses to deal with Liu Zheng."
Liu Miao said a word to Fan Neng, and then planned to leave from here, leaving in a hurry without giving Fan Neng more opportunities to speak.
Liu Miao's hurried departure, Fan Neng can also be regarded as lucky, after all, Liu Miao did not blame him for losing more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and defeating the army, but gave him more soldiers and horses to garrison Huiji City.
Although there are only 20,000 people, Fan Neng is not sure whether he will be able to block Liu Zheng's attack, but Liu Zheng's troops are not many, and it is not so easy to attack Huiji City.
What he didn't expect was that Liu Zheng didn't come to attack Huiji City at all.
At this time, Liu Zheng, with his own people, changed the way from Huiji and went straight to Fuchun County.
He wanted to go to Fuchun because Sun Jian went to Fuchun, and he rushed over to surround Sun Jian from the rear.
Sun Jian was still confronting Yan Baihu at this time, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
Yan Baihu asked Sun Jian to attack Liu Xuan, but Sun Jian didn't want to agree, so Yan Baihu used Sun Jian's parents as a threat, Sun Jian could only comply, but did not act, but took a temporary rest on the grounds that the soldiers and horses were traveling for a long time.
In fact, Yan Baihu and Liu Zheng also understood that if they wanted to blackmail Sun Jian like this, Sun Jian was naturally unlikely to obey, and he must be thinking of a way, so Liu Zheng's men and horses would rush to the rear in a hurry, and then fight with Yan Baihu's people, flanking back and forth, completely surround Sun Jian's 10,000 army.
Surrounded by 20,000 troops from both Liu Zheng and Yan Baihu, Sun Jian completely understood at this time that he had fallen for the trick, and if he wanted to escape at this time, he had no chance.
There are Yan Baihu's 20,000 troops in front and Liu Zheng's 10,000 horses in the back, surrounded by the front and back, even if he wants to break through, it is unlikely that he will completely save this soldier and horse.
And if it was just Sun Jian, who had successfully broken through with a small group of troops, lost his fiefdom, and had no hometown to go to, he really couldn't think of where else he could go.
So instead of leading people to break through from here, it is better to surrender temporarily, so that you may be able to preserve a little dignity.
At least these soldiers who followed him would not die at home in battle.
"Sun Jian, surrender, I know you don't accept it, but the matter has come to this point, and you have no way out."
Liu Zheng walked out from the rear and looked at Sun Jian who was surrounded in the center from a distance, although Sun Jian at this time let his people strictly guard and arrange battle formations, but it can be seen from the mood of these soldiers that they have no intention of fighting at all.
Although Liu Zheng shouted at Sun Jian to surrender, Sun Jian did not respond, and several generals on the side also fell into a dead silence at this time, and no one spoke.
Because they all know that even if they break through at this time, the chance of success is not great, and the whereabouts after the breakthrough are unknown.
Originally, they could have taken refuge in Liu Miao, but when they left before, they had already offended Liu Miao, and now it is impossible to go back to Liu Miao.
"Second brother, what should I do?"
No one spoke, but after all, silence could not solve the problem, Sun Jing could only look at Sun Jian, Sun Jian was the lord present, only he could make up his mind and decide the life and death of this big gang.
"What to do? What else can I do? Are you sure you'll break through here? ”
Sun Jian lowered his voice and swept his gaze over the generals in front of him.
At this time, Sun Jian's face was also unusually ugly. was forced to this point, and he never expected it. Originally, he was counting on relying on these soldiers and horses to suppress Liu Zheng.
But now it has fallen to the point of surrendering to Liu Zheng.
Something like Liu Zheng's surrender is extremely unwilling in his heart, after all, he has always regarded Liu Zheng as an opponent.
But in order to save the lives of the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
He had no choice at this point.
"Send someone to fight with Liu Zheng, surrender, we are not sure to break through from here, and even if we can successfully break through, these soldiers and horses under our command will definitely suffer heavy losses, it is better to surrender."
