"Haha, then the state pastor will teach you again, you take a closer look, what is this? See if you still recognize your own handwriting? To tell you the truth, none of the letters you sent out asking for help were intercepted by the state pastor. ”

"Qingzhou, there is no letter of help from Linzi City at all, and there will be no reinforcements coming. Give up, open the gates, and surrender. The state pastor will not kill you, and even because you are loyal and commendable, he will promote you. ”

Cheng Yuanzhi really didn't want to kill Gong Jing, Gong Jing died, then no one could help govern Qingzhou. Qingzhou is not as good as Youzhou, Youzhou is full of talents, there are too many civil and military generals, and Qingzhou has been rolled into a mess, and there are all kinds of wastes waiting to be revived.

Cheng Yuanzhi asked Liu Bei to throw the letter of help sent by Gong Jing to Youzhou on the city wall and return it to Gong Jing. In fact, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't know how many letters for help Gong Jing had sent and how many had been successfully sent, but Cheng Yuanzhi didn't know if Gong Jing was gambling on it.

Gong Jing was shocked when he saw that Cheng Yuanzhi had an edict co-signed by Liu Yu and Liu Bei, and felt that it was none of his business, and he could hang it high, but now he saw that his letter for help was actually intercepted by Cheng Yuanzhi, so he was not only shocked, but also panicked.

Without a letter for help, it means that there will be no reinforcements coming from Qingzhou, and Gong Jing guards the county town of Linzi, which is an isolated island.

Gong Jing didn't want to learn from Jiao He, he died at the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, and Cheng Yuanzhi in front of him was like a life-saving straw and a life-saving talisman.

Putting away the letter for help, Gong Jing asked in a trembling voice and with a crying tone:

"Cheng Zhoumu, then in your opinion, how should Ben Taishou deal with himself? You are the pastor of the Great Han Prefecture, but you can order the Yellow Turban army to open the city gate, so you can draw the road. As long as you can keep your life, you will listen to you. ”

Surrender is a small matter, but saving a life is a big thing.

What Gong Jing is most afraid of is that after opening the city gate, Guan Hai wants to take Gong Jing's sacrificial flag, after all, all the states of the Han Dynasty responded to the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao's move at the same time, and the first to take it was Jizhou, and then Youzhou, the reason why Qingzhou has dragged on for so long is all because Gong Jing is pulling his hind legs.

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled, with Gong Jing's words, Qingzhou can get it.

In fact, Cheng Yuanzhi probably saw that Gong Jing was not unable to get along with the Yellow Turban Army, but that the Yellow Turban Army had many soldiers and horses, and it was really about to break the city.

Syllable!

This time, the whip was not whipped on Liu Bei's body again, but was whipped hard at the war horse, the war horse was in pain, and the reins of the horse's head were pulled extremely tightly, and he couldn't help neighing:

"Shhh

Cheng Yuanzhi rode a war horse, jumped a few times in place, laughed loudly, full of pride, patted his chest to give Gong Jing a guarantee, and said with a smile:

"Haha! Gong Taishou, in vain you call yourself a scholar, I'm afraid you don't know the responsibilities of the pastor of Benzhou, right? As a state pastor, don't say that it is Youzhou, Qingzhou and other places, even if it is far away in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, the state pastor will take care of it. ”

"You stand on the city wall, and you can see clearly, the reason why the Benzhou Pastor let the Yellow Turban Army at the east gate withdraw is to give you courage, as long as you open the city gate and surrender to the Honzhou Mu, not only the official will be reinstated, but the Benzhou Pastor will also be greatly rewarded and protect you, that is even more of a problem, a little thing, just a gesture."

Tempt it to profit, promise it.

Cheng Yuanzhi has given Gong Jing enough face, surrendering can not only save his life and save his reputation, but also continue to be a Taishou, such a good thing, how can Gong Jing not be moved.

Besides, Gong Jing has no better way, stick to it, people eat horses and chew, Linzi County City can't support it for a few days, it's better to take advantage of the fact that there is a step now.

"Good. Ben Taishou believes you once, Ben Taishou is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and will never surrender to the Yellow Turban thief, but surrender to Cheng Zhoumu, which makes people open the city gate and welcome Cheng Zhoumu into the city. ”

Gong Jing couldn't wait to fly down the city wall, open the city gate in person, and lead Cheng Yuanzhi as a party, but on the surface, he still sat in a sedan chair like a yellow flower girl, and it was the first time, and he was very reserved.

The county town of Linzi in Qingzhou, which had been trapped by the Guanhai army for more than half a month, finally opened up slowly.

Gong Jing took the Wenchen military generals in Linzi City to greet him from the east gate, holding the seal of the Taishou, walked to Cheng Yuanzhi, and shouted loudly:

"Linzi County, Qingzhou guarded Gong Jing, specially received the state pastor into the city, failed to welcome him from afar, and asked the state pastor to forgive the sin."

Syllable!

A horsewhip slammed into Gong Jing's old face, and immediately blood flowed all over his face, causing Gong Jing to roll on the ground in pain.

Cheng Yuanzhi saw that Gong Jing was so unbearable, and he was beaten in his original form with one whip, but he smiled and said secretly:

"It's okay, I'm not afraid that you will eat soft rice, but I'm afraid that you are a hard bone, and you can't even resist being whipped, and the internal affairs of Qingzhou will be handed over to you to govern, and the pastor of Benzhou will rest assured."

Syllable!

Syllable!

Cheng Yuanzhi's hands itched for a while, and he added two more whips, which made Gong Jing's skin open and his flesh blurred, so he smiled:

"Well said, well said. The Honshu Pastor will not be easily angry, let alone hold grudges. Generally, if there is any big or small hatred that offends the pastor of this state, he will never hold a grudge, and he will be avenged on the spot. Gong Taishou, those whips just now, it was a whip that you didn't open the city gate, and welcomed the Benzhou herd into the city early, and after the whip, this matter was revealed. ”

"Gong Taishou, don't pretend to be dead, don't hurry up, take the Benzhou Mu into the city to the county guard's mansion, and set up a banquet for the Benzhou Mu to catch the wind and wash the dust. Do you want to continue to lie on the ground and feel the endless whipping of the Honshu pastor? ”

Hearing that he was going to be whipped, Gong Jing endured the pain, stood up quickly as soon as he slipped through the smoke, his face twitched with sizzles, and he clasped his fists and saluted:

"Cheng Zhoumu, please come with this official, the county guard has prepared a banquet, good wine is enough, and please don't whip it again, this is too guarded by this bone, and if you continue to fight, it will really be scattered."

Gong Jing's face was sad, and the pain all over his body was even more distressing and unbearable than losing the Linzi County Guard.

Cheng Yuanzhi was much more comfortable, but the whip in his hand did not stop, he looked at Gong Jing's old hands, whipped it down fiercely again, and ordered:

"Gong Taishou, he did a good job, he was very satisfied. However, Gong Taishou still took Benzhou Mu's subordinates first and went to garrison various important places in Linzi City, and as for drinking wine and eating meat, Benzhou Mu came later. ”

After that, Cheng Yuanzhi turned the whip around and whipped Liu Bei violently, Liu Bei was excited, unusually sober, and immediately stepped forward smartly and saluted Gong Jing, and said with a smile:

"I have seen Gong Taishou, Liu Bei Liu Xuande in Xiazhuo County, the official residence of the Plains, is the general under the command of Chengzhou Mu, this is Bei's second brother, the rebel general Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, this is the third brother of Bei, the thief general Zhang Fei Zhang Yide."

Liu Bei was quite familiar, pulled Gong Jing's sleeve, took a step and went straight to Linzi City, and did not forget to introduce Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
