After Liu Xian listened to Chen Yu's words, he was also a little moved, Liu Xian didn't want to die, but the Han has always been based on benevolence and filial piety, if he didn't say anything, and sold his father directly, then his reputation would stink directly, and then he wouldn't want to make another achievement.

Now that Chen Yu has relieved his concerns, he naturally has no pressure, and he can open the city to surrender to Yuan Yao's army, Liu Xian thought of this and said, "What Mr. said is true? Is my father in danger now? ”

Chen Yu laughed and said: "Childe, rest assured, the 25,000 county soldiers in Linxiang City, of which 20,000 county soldiers will be soldiers and horses under the command of Liu Zhijun and Jin Yuanjun, and when our army captures Wuling County, Jin Zhijun will inevitably fall to our lord, Liu Yuanjun and Jin Zhijun will work together to control Linxiang City; If there is our army outside, Han Xuan will inevitably serve my lord, and at that time, our army will be able to capture Linxiang City without blood, let me ask, how can Liu Yuanjun encounter danger? ”

"On the contrary, if the prince defends the city to the death, then the city of Quanling can only be burned, and at that time, Liu Yuanjun will only have to fight to the death with my lord to go, in my opinion, if so, Liu Yuanjun will really be in danger. Presumably, if Liu Yuanjun knew about the arrival of our army in the city, he would definitely agree with Gongzi to open the city and surrender, so why would Gongzi hesitate to cause disaster for the family? ”

When Liu Xian heard this, he got up and bowed to Chen Yu, and said, "What Mr. said is very much in line with my wishes, I have decided to open the city to surrender to your lord, and I also ask Mr. to arrange this matter for me." ”

When Chen Yu saw that Liu Xian agreed to surrender in Kaicheng, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly returned a salute to Liu Xian, saying: "Gongzi's move has saved the soldiers and civilians of Lingling County from the suffering of war, and it is really a benevolent and righteous act!" When my envoy reports this to my lord, the more he waits, he will reward the son! Our army will be garrisoned at Quanling Pass for one day today, and I will write a letter later, so that our army will be able to reach the outside of the city at about noon tomorrow, and the son will be able to lead the officials in the city to surrender to the city. ”

"So I'm tired of sir!" Liu Xian bowed to Chen Yu again, and then ordered: "Quickly prepare a banquet, and later I will personally set up a banquet to invite Mr., and then send someone to pass the order, so that all the officials and clans in the city will come to the banquet." ”

That night, Liu Xian personally set up a banquet to invite Chen Yu, the city officials and generals and the big clans in the city all sent people to participate in this banquet, on the banquet Quanling people have toasted Chen Yu, everyone talked very happily with each other, the surrender of Quanling City has been decided, and there is no possibility of change.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Deng led his army to arrive outside Quanling City at about noon, Liu Xian led the officials of the city out of the city to surrender, just like when he was in Guiyang County, Chen Deng did not have the seal of Lingling County, but asked Liu Xian to continue to keep the seal for his father, and temporarily take charge of all the affairs of Lingling County as before.

Liu Xian saw Chen Deng do this, immediately his heart was overjoyed, and he also respected Chen Deng more, as long as he encountered a major event, he would come to ask Chen Deng's idea, because Liu Du was not in the county, Liu Xian did not have Liu Du's reputation, only a payment document could make the counties tie their hands, Chen Deng could only let Liu Xian write a payment, and then let Chen Yu and Chen Ying each lead a thousand soldiers and horses to pacify the rest of Lingling County. The entire Lingling County was soon in the hands of Chen Deng.

……

Just when Chen Deng received Lingling County, Yue Yun was still leading his soldiers and horses to march towards Wuling County, Yue Yun's troops and horses passed through the city without attacking, and soon passed through Lingling County, four days later, Yue Yun's troops and horses finally bypassed Changsha County and came to the Yuanling area of Wuling County!

Yuanling City is located in the upper reaches of Yuanshui, is located at the intersection of the southeast foot of Wuling Mountain and the northeast tail of Xuefeng Mountain, the mountains overlap in the territory, the streams and rivers are vertical and horizontal, the terrain is extremely complex, the Wuxi barbarians in the Nanban tribe are hidden in the mountains and forests in the area of Yuanling County, and Yuanling City is located on the only plain in the territory.

Because this place is often disturbed by the southern barbarians, so this city is not only strong, but also the people in the city are extremely warlike, although now in the troubled times, Jin Xuan did not arrange many county soldiers to garrison here, but the people here still organized a thousand or so righteous army to defend the city.

When Yue Yun's army had just crossed the river valley and appeared near Yuanling City, the defenders of Yuanling thought that the southern barbarian soldiers and horses had come to attack the city, and the soldiers on duty hurriedly sounded the gong for warning, and the county soldiers and rebels in the city hurriedly climbed the city wall to defend the city.

By the time Yue Yun's 4,000 paces rode to the vicinity of Yuanling City, the Yuanling defenders had already prepared for battle, Yue Yun thought that Yuanling City was a small city, as long as his army appeared outside Yuanling City, Yuanling City would definitely fall with the wind, where did he think that Yuanling City was already ready to defend the city.

The defenders of Yuanling City looked at the Han army that suddenly appeared outside the city, and their brains were a little insufficient, looking at the banner of the Han army, it should be the soldiers and horses under the command of Yuan Yao, but why did the army under Yuan Yao appear outside his Yuanling City?

Looking at the direction of this army and horses, it should be from Lingling County, could it be said that Yuan Yao's army has captured Guiyang County and Lingling County?

But didn't his own Taishou already lead the army to Changsha County to stop Yuan Yao's army, and now he has not received the news of Changsha's defeat, why did Yuan Yao's army bypass Changsha County and suddenly appear here?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Yuan Yao's army is also a Han army, and Yuan Yao is located in the land of Jiangdong Jianghuai, and his soldiers and horses are far from being comparable to his own small Yuanling County.

At the moment when the identity of Yue Yun's soldiers and horses was determined, the Yuanling defenders also thought a lot, and finally came to the conclusion that Yue Yun's soldiers and horses could not be easily enemies.

Of course, at this time, Yue Yun didn't know this, but his troops and horses went all the way through the mountains and mountains, and the soldiers were extremely tired, and the remaining military food in his army was not much, Yue Yun originally planned to rest in the area of Yuanling City, and use the treasury here to replenish the money and food of his army.

Seeing that the defenders of the city were ready, although he had 4,000 elites under his command, if he forcibly attacked the city, he would definitely lose a lot, and this would delay his time to attack Hanshou City, Yue Yun did not dare to attack the city easily, so he personally stepped forward and shouted: "I am Yue Yun, the general under the command of Yue Hou, in the name of Yue Hou, who will lead the vanguard soldiers and horses to attack the land of Lingling, who is the person in charge of the city, can you dare to come forward?" ”
