Chapter 355: Descending

Sun Jing returned to Sun Jian's tent.

Sun Jian and a group of generals were waiting here, and when they saw Sun Jing coming back, they all looked at Sun Jing eagerly, wanting to know the results of Sun Jing's past this time.

Before Sun Jing could speak, Sun Jian couldn't wait to ask Sun Jing first.

"Third brother, how is it?"

"Second brother, then Liu Zheng agreed."

Sun Jing didn't talk nonsense, and answered directly.

Sun Jian heard Sun Jing's words and knew that after Liu Zheng agreed to his request, the tense look on his face also showed a smile at this time, and the previous tension was finally relieved a lot.

"It's good to agree, at least our brothers won't die here."

However, Sun Jing quickly changed the conversation again.

"But Liu Zheng also put forward a few requirements."

Suddenly, Sun Jing's words made Sun Jian's face change again, and at the same time, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao and others around him also turned pale and looked at Sun Jing with a brush, waiting for Sun Jing to continue.

"What requirements?"

Sun Jian immediately asked.

Sun Jing began to relay the requirements that Liu Zheng had told him before, and relayed them here.

After speaking, everyone fell silent.

No one spoke for a while, and they seemed to be thinking about the meaning of Liu Zheng's words.

In fact, Liu Zheng's three-point requirements are too much, too much, and not too much.

What is excessive is that Liu Zheng directly deprived Sun Jian of the authority to rule more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, which is equivalent to directly setting Sun Jian up. Moreover, sending all of Sun Jian's family members to Jiaozhou is tantamount to house arrest in disguise. Although he said that he would not restrict freedom, but when he arrived in Jiaozhou, freedom or something, didn't Liu Zheng have the final say.

"Lord, we can't promise Liu Zheng, that guy just wants to take in our people!"

Cheng Pu was the first to stand up and oppose Sun Jian's surrender, because he had already seen that once he surrendered, not only would he not be able to live or die at that time, but even the soldiers and horses under his hands might be cheaper than Liu Zheng.

At this time, after Cheng Pu stood up and said a word, Han Dang also hurriedly stood up against it.

"Yes, lord, these requirements put forward by Liu Zheng are a little ill-intentioned, if we surrender, I am afraid that we will fall into his trap."

For a while, the generals below, one by one, talked about it.

But Sun Jian himself didn't speak, his eyes were cold, staring ahead, as if he was thinking.

Sun Jing stood beside Sun Jian and didn't speak, he knew that what he said at this time was useless, all of this still had to be made up by Sun Jian, and after Sun Jian figured it out, he only needed to implement Sun Jian's intentions, regardless of whether Sun Jian planned to surrender or not.

After waiting for about ten minutes, everyone said the same, seeing that Sun Jian had not spoken, Cheng Pu, the old minister, finally couldn't hold it back, and got up and asked Sun Jian.

"Lord, whether to surrender or fight to the death, you have an idea."

"Aren't you going to surrender?"

After Cheng Pu asked, Sun Jian finally came to his senses from thinking, glanced left and right, and then asked Cheng Pu and the others.

"Then Liu Zheng's demands are too deceitful and too bad, if we surrender, maybe there is no way to live, rather than this, it is better to fight to the death!"

Cheng Pu and others don't have a good impression of Liu Zheng, this is mainly in a hostile state, and they automatically substitute Liu Zheng into the side of the bad guys, and they are quite disgusted with Liu Zheng.

But Sun Jian shook his head.

Slowly spoke to the crowd.

"My opinion is different from yours, it is precisely because of Liu Zheng's conditions that I attach more importance to the matter of surrender."

When Cheng Pu, Han Dang and the others heard Sun Jian's words, they were stunned, everyone didn't understand what Sun Jian thought, and for a while, their eyes fell on Sun Jian again, waiting for Sun Jian to explain.

"My lord, why do you say that?"

"You only saw that Liu Zheng wanted to dismantle my power, but it was precisely because of this that he was able to really guarantee the safety of my life, although the family members were to be sent to Jiaozhou, but it can also show that Liu Zheng did not intend to harm them, at least not for the time being. As for what he wants from our more than 10,000 men. ”

"Don't we agree, these more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, will live, if you insist on breaking through, I am afraid that the casualties will be greater, and when Liu Zheng surrounds and persuades him to surrender, most of them will still choose to surrender, rather than this, it is better to surrender, at least now I can be sure that Liu Zheng really wants us to surrender and use it for him."

"As long as we show sincerity, we can get his kindness."

As soon as Sun Jian's words came out, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and the others were immediately silenced.

They were silent because of what Sun Jian said, and there was indeed some truth in it.

"Lord, since you have decided, we will not say much, everything is subject to your decision."

Cheng Pu and the others naturally have nothing to say, they just have their own opinions, if Sun Jian says his opinion, on the one hand, he has already persuaded them, on the other hand, even if they have different opinions, it is useless at this time.

Sun Jian looked at Cheng Pu and then at the others, everyone's faces stayed for a few seconds, and after seeing that everyone had no other opinions, he stood up.

"Okay, since everyone has no other opinions, then agree to surrender?"

After speaking, he paused for a moment again, looked at the crowd, and waited for other people who disagreed to speak up, but after staying for a while, no one spoke.

Only then did Sun Jian look at his third brother Sun Jing.

"Third brother, you go and reply to Liu Zheng, just say that we agreed to his request and promised to surrender."

Sun Jing nodded and took the order.

Back at Liu Zheng's camp, Sun Jing told Liu Zheng of Sun Jian's answer, Liu Zheng was not surprised, just nodded calmly, and then arranged for Gan Ning and Wen Ping, who were surprised, to receive Sun Jian's soldiers and horses.

This process is simple, Sun Jian's people put down their weapons, and then asked Gan Ning to bring people over to temporarily detain these people, the so-called detention also gave enough face, just confiscated weapons, and the rest was not restricted, and then let Sun Jian and a group of senior generals under Sun Jian come to meet Liu Zheng in person.

Liu Zheng saw Sun Jian, the two sides were no strangers, and after a simple inquiry, Sun Jian was anxious about his family, so he proposed to meet.

Liu Zheng did not refuse, but began to send a message to Yan Baihu in the city, opened the city gate, and let his men and horses in.

Yan Baihu, who learned that Sun Jian had surrendered, was also overjoyed, and directly opened the city gate and came out to greet Liu Zheng.
