Zhang Liao still had some thoughts of continuing to fight, after all, he didn't feel that he had failed.

But now that he saw Liu Zheng here, Zhang Liao didn't have the intention to continue fighting.

Liu Zheng himself dared to come to the vicinity of Jiangling in person, which proved that there was really no danger in this vicinity.

In this vicinity, most of them are cages built by Liu Zheng's men and horses, and no matter how hard Zhang Liao struggles with the remaining soldiers and horses, it is impossible to escape from Liu Zheng's siege.

Now seeing that Liu Zheng did not attack them as soon as he appeared, Zhang Liao already understood that Liu Zheng had been restrained for a period of time, just like he was able to escape from Baqiu County and break through.

It is very likely that Liu Zheng deliberately let him go.

"Understood, surrendered, no more fighting."

Liu Zheng originally thought that Zhang Liao would be difficult to persuade, after all, Zhang Liao is still young now, and people at this time always feel that they can still be rescued, and they will never give up until the end.

But after Zhang Liao heard Liu Zheng's words, he directly chose to surrender.

This caught Liu Zheng, who had prepared a lot of persuasion lines, a little caught off guard.

But in any case, seeing Zhang Liao open his mouth and say that he had surrendered, it would be much better than fighting with Zhang Liao and Liu Qi's men and horses here.

If he continues to fight, although Liu Zheng is sure that he can defeat Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao still has an army of 20,000 here, and it is not so easy to kill 20,000 people.

There will definitely be some losses on your side.

"Okay, General Wenyuan is really a person who knows the times, just by your words, I can guarantee the safety of your lives."

"Put down your weapons, follow my people, and enter Gangneung City."

As soon as Liu Zheng's words were finished, Zhang Liao had nothing to say, so he was about to surrender, but Liu Qi hesitated.

Liu Qi glanced at Zhang Liao, and asked Zhang Liao with some confusion.

"General Wenyuan, we ...... We surrendered to that Liu Zheng like this? ”

Zhang Liao glanced at Liu Qi, and there was some complexity in Liu Qi's eyes at this time.

Liu Qi didn't want to surrender, after all, he surrendered, Jingzhou was completely gone, he was the last trace of fire.

But Zhang Liao smiled bitterly and asked Liu Qi rhetorically.

"Brother Liu, what do you think we are now, even if we don't surrender?"

"It's stumped, do you still expect the current 20,000 troops to confront Liu Zheng? Don't be stupid, if there are still Jiangling and Xiangyang, we may still be able to deal with Liu Zheng, but without these base areas, even if we can escape from this Jiangling today, the soldiers and horses under our command cannot be replenished, not to mention the men and horses, and there is no military rations, and within three days, the 20,000 troops will starve to death here. ”

"Liu Zheng doesn't even need to fight us, as long as we starve us for three days, we will be directly defeated."

Zhang Liao knew his situation well, and he had no intention of resisting at all, rather than resisting with Liu Zheng, he could suffer less by surrendering directly.

When Liu Qi heard Zhang Liao's explanation, he was relieved, knowing that the general trend had gone, and there was only one way left to surrender.

He didn't continue to speak, just looked at Liu Zheng sadly, didn't make a decision, and left the rest to Zhang Liao to do.

With Zhang Liao's choice to surrender, the 20,000 troops at this time really began to lay down their weapons as Liu Zheng had ordered.

Up to now, these men and horses under Liu Qi and Zhang Liao have no intention of fighting at all, and surrender is good for everyone.

After these people lost their weapons, Liu Zheng asked Xu Huang to lead these men and horses directly into Jiangling City, and temporarily put them in custody.

At the same time, Liu Zheng himself was in Jiangling City and personally met Zhang Liao and Liu Qi.

After all, these two people are the main reason why Liu Zheng came here with a large army.

After disarming their weapons, Liu Qi and Zhang Liao saw Liu Zheng in some embarrassment, and when they met Liu Zheng at close range, it was also the time for Zhang Liao to look at Liu Zheng again.

"General Wenyuan, I have admired the name for a long time, and I have always wanted to meet you, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity, and now I have finally got what I wanted, the general's name, I have heard it many times among those under me."

"It's just a general of the defeated army, how can you bother so much."

"Hahaha, you can compare with my subordinate Gan Ning, you can prove your ability, how about it, I value your ability, if Wen Yuan can help me and calm the world, it will be excellent, how about it, think about it, after all, I also have some good acquaintances of yours under me, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others are all under me, and they are all in the mix."

Liu Zheng made up his mind to recruit Zhang Liao, after all, Zhang Liao in history, but like Xu Huang, the five good generals under Cao Wei are definitely among the top ten among the many generals of the Three Kingdoms.

Not to mention his personal martial arts, it is not impossible for him to command the army alone, and even rank in the top five.

"Of course, if General Wenyuan really has a different philosophy from me, if you want to leave, I will definitely not block it, the gate is here, you can go out at any time."

In order to show Corporal Lixian, Liu Zheng said that he wanted to recruit Zhang Liao, and then said that Zhang Liao could be let go at any time.

Zhang Liao originally heard Liu Zheng say that he wanted to recruit himself, his expression did not change much, but when he heard Liu Zheng say that he could let himself go, he was a little surprised, and immediately really asked.

"Are you really willing to let me go?"

"This is natural, the general's talent, if the untimely death is a loss to the world, even if the general is unwilling to take refuge in me, it is just my loss, but if the general dies, it will be a loss to the world."

Liu Zheng praised Zhang Liao again, touted Zhang Liao's ability, and once again expressed his intention to solicit Zhang Liao.

This time, Zhang Liao didn't have much to say.

He knelt down directly on one knee, and the general's armor trembled and gurgled.

"The last general is willing to be loyal to your lordship, and saddle your horse and horse!"

"Hahaha, it's not necessary to saddle up before and after the horse, Wen Yuan's talent must not be suitable for such things, what I want is a person who can fight the world for me and determine the world!"

Seeing that Zhang Liao chose to take refuge, where did Liu Zheng hesitate, he immediately walked up and gently helped Zhang Liao up, and the two became monarchs and ministers.

Liu Qi on the side, watching Zhang Liao take refuge in Liu Zheng like this, was a little shameless, and hummed softly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Zhang Liao.

But what can I do if I am dissatisfied, after all, Liu Qi, like Zhang Liao, is just a prisoner.

After Liu Zheng helped Zhang Liao up, he naturally heard Liu Qi's cold snort.

However, compared with Zhang Liao, Liu Qi is not so attractive in Liu Zheng's eyes.

Although Liu Qi is also a somewhat famous person in history, he only inherited the talent of his father Liu Biao, and he does not have the ability to lead the army, so Liu Qi has a much smaller role for Liu Zheng.

However, out of respect for Liu Qi, Liu Zheng still asked Liu Qi.

"Liu Qi, your father Liu Biao has temporarily cultivated in the territory under my command, do you want to visit your father first, or do you decide to join me, serve under my command, and then go to see your father when you are free?"

Liu Qi is more interested in his father.

"My lord, Liu Qi has no ability, he just wants to serve his father for the rest of his life."
