On the fifth day of November in the ninth year of Chuping, today is Liu Bei's happiest day, although it stands to reason that Liu Bei should not be so happy, Dong Zhuojun's troops are pressing, according to the latest battle report, Liu Beijun's Hefei Army and Runan Army are in a bad situation, and I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on. This is nothing, what is more serious is that in recent years, Liu Beijun's territory has been greatly reduced in grain production, Liu Beijun has launched wars year after year, reckless with military force, and a large number of strong men have been extracted as the army, and logistics transportation can only be undertaken by women, resulting in vicious transportation. But there was still no frustration on Liu Bei's face today, and the top brass of the Xuzhou Army was still immersed in joy.

Five pairs of horses, twenty poles, twenty flags, ten guns, five pairs of bags, ten big knives, four crank yellow umbrellas, eight straight handle yellow umbrellas, two red umbrellas, two blue umbrellas, two white umbrellas, six embroidered dragon yellow fans, four golden fans, six embroidered dragon red fans, four colorful phoenix red fans, two pairs of my staff, four leopard tail guns, two pairs of lying melons, two pairs of standing melons, three thousand royal forest troops, 10,000 tigers, Liu Bei's Luan drove enough royal majesty, and drove into the southern suburbs of Xuzhou to confer Zen platform, conferring Zen platform is nine zhang high, each radius is nine miles long, and bright five-color flags are planted all over it, The incense, candles, and lanterns are as dense as a jungle, and compared to Kang Peng's original ceremony of King Kang, I don't know how much grandeur it is, which proves Kang Peng's stinginess and stinginess - you must know that the financial income of the Xiliang Army back then was more than fifteen times that of Liu Beijun, and now it has reached thirty times.

"Playing music." In the majestic singing of the singer, the court band composed of 800 people played the "Flying Dragon Song" with more than 60 kinds of musical instruments such as chimes, weaving xin, qin, se, xiao, sheng, flute, drum, etc., in the magnificent music, Liu Bei wore a crown on his head, wore a dragon robe and cried and cried on the high platform - the happy day of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, why did Uncle Liu Huang cry? You know, Uncle Liu Huang is a great loyal minister, loyal to the point of being about the same as Boss Dong, Uncle Liu Huang is from the bottom of his heart 'don't want to be' the emperor, today's enthronement ceremony, Uncle Liu Huang was really driven by the civil and military officials to put ducks on the shelves, and was forced to be reluctant to take the throne and call the emperor, otherwise, Uncle Liu Huang will be greatly disappointed, and all the civil and military affairs of Uncle Liu will also be called sick and retired, and Uncle Liu Huang really has nothing to do.

After all kinds of lengthy court rituals, the horn whistled, and the new Liu Beijun Taifu Mizhu held the jade seal in his hand, led hundreds of officials to kneel in front of Liu Bei, and sang: "Long live the seal." Liu Bei wiped away a handful of snot and tears, tears rolled down his eyes again, and he choked up: "If you have no talent, please choose someone who is talented and virtuous to accept it, and be willing to ride a horse and whip for it......."

"Report!" Before Liu Bei's words fell, a heart-rending shout suddenly came from afar, and a fast horse carrying a herald with blood stains all over his body rushed to the bottom of the altar and reported loudly: "Tell the king, on the night of September 26, the city of Runan in Yuzhou was broken by Dong Zhuo's army, the whole army of our army was annihilated by the Runan Army of our army, the military division Zhuge Xuan was martyred, General Gong Du and General Liu Pi both died in battle, Dong Zhuo's army Jingzhou Army approached again, and the vanguard force has arrived in Xiyang. ”

"What?" Liu Bei was so anxious that he forgot to cry, jumped up from the dragon chair, and shouted: "How was Runan breached? Zhuge Xuan once made a promise in front of me that he would hold on for three months, why was the whole army wiped out so quickly? ”

"The enemy has cut off the water supply to Runan City." The herald cried loudly: "Our army and the people of Runan have no water available, and there are many people who die of thirst, our army was forced to break through, but the breakthrough failed, and the people of Runan who helped the battle mutinied again, and our army was completely annihilated by Dong Zhuo's army." ”

Liu Bei's face changed in a sunny day, sometimes heartbroken, sometimes nervous, sometimes frightened, sometimes blue, sometimes white, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Bei's face actually changed more than 20 expressions - that is, there was no happy expression. And Liu Beijun's hundred officials are all like ashes, and the word despair is written on everyone's face, the Runan Army was completely annihilated, which means that Liu Beijun's southwest gate has been smashed open by Dong Zhuojun, not only Xuzhou, which has no danger to defend, is completely exposed to Dong Zhuojun's iron cavalry, but also Liu Beijun's Hefei Army is also in danger of being surrounded.

"Hahahaha." Liu Bei suddenly laughed out loud, pulling Liu Beijun and the others back from the edge of fright, Liu Bei laughed and said: "You don't have to panic, I am ordered by heaven, with the blessing of God, although Dong thieves are rampant, but I have already laid a net in Xuzhou, just waiting for my third brother to lead the army back to help, and the rabble of Dong thieves will be all powdered." Liu Beijun's civil and military officials regained their color at this time, and Liu Bei whispered to Mi Zhu: "Fast horse sent an order to Zhuge Liang, let him collect his troops and return to Xuzhou and give up Hefei." ”

After this accident, Liu Beijun's officials rearranged their appearance and knelt in front of Liu Bei again, and Liu Bei sat back on the dragon chair crying, and Mi Zhu held the jade seal in front of Liu Bei and said respectfully: "The king has pacified the four seas, and his merits are known in the world. I have sacrificed to the gods, what can I do! Originally, the emperor took the throne, and he should have three concessions before he could take over the seal, but Liu Bei was afraid of another accident, so he couldn't wait to cry and take over the jade seal, and officially took the throne as the emperor. ”

The cheers of the landslide and the sea cracked quickly made Liu Bei forget about the unhappiness of losing Runan, and Liu Bei triumphantly rewarded: "I am determined to set the name of the country as Xu Han, change the Yuan Zhangwu, and crown the princess Mi Shi as the queen, Zhuge Xuan as the prime minister, and his nephew Zhuge Liang will temporarily serve as the prime minister, Mi Zhu will be the Situ, Zhang Fei will be the general, Tai Shici will be the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the rest of the people will be promoted to three levels." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Beijun's civil and military officials kowtowed together to thank him, but before these officials could react from the joy of being promoted, another herald rushed over and shouted from afar: "Your lord, Xiao Pei is in a hurry, and the Dong thief Yongzhou Legion is a soldier who is guilty of Xiao Pei." Before the herald's voice fell, another herald rushed over again, "Your Majesty, last night the Zhang Liao troops of the Dong Thief Jizhou Legion raided the lower billet, and the lower billet defenders surrendered without a fight!" ”

Liu Bei's face turned into the color of a dead man, and he was paralyzed on the dragon chair and couldn't stand up anymore, Xiao Pei and Xia Billet are the northwest gate and the north gate of Xuzhou, these two places were lost, and Liu Beijun was surrounded on three sides this time. But the bigger blow to Liu Bei was still to come, a team of Liu Beijun, whose clothes were so tattered that they called Huazi, had already stumbled into the altar with a corpse, and Liu Beijun and everyone recognized the identity of the corpse at a glance - Zhang Fei, the unkempt Zhuge Liang and Tai Shici were also in this army.

"King, King." Tai Shici knelt down, cried and walked to Liu Bei, kowtowed: "King, we are sorry for you, Hefei is lost, 200,000 troops, there are only this few people left, the three generals are ......, and he is also martyred." ”

"Third brother!" Liu Bei, who was paralyzed on the dragon chair, turned on the ground with the chair this time, wanted to cry loudly, but couldn't cry, and couldn't even squeeze out the corners of his eyes with tears that he usually wanted to come whenever he wanted.

Liu Bei didn't wake up until late at night, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to cry and order to the hundred officials who were guarding him: "Order a military horse for me, I will go to crusade against Dong Thief and avenge my second and third brothers!" I'm going to cut Dong thief with a thousand knives! ”

Including Zhuge Liang, no Liu Beijun official dared to agree to Liu Bei's order, after the Runan Army and the Hefei Army were all wiped out, Liu Beijun only had less than 40,000 troops left, and Dong Zhuo's army was 630,000 yuan, and lost Yuzhou and Yangzhou, Liu Beijun even if he pulled the strong Ding There is no place to pull, not to mention the desperate Liu Beijun army has no shortage of military rations, ordnance, weapons and war materials, and even the equipment of the regular army can not be fully equipped, not to mention the newly armed Zhuang Ding.

"Get out, you all get out." Liu Bei, who understood his situation, quickly calmed down, waved his hand and said, "I want to be alone and quiet." Liu Beijun's officials had their own concerns, and they had long wished that Liu Bei would give this order, so they immediately dispersed, leaving Liu Bei alone in the room crying bitterly.

Let's not say that Liu Bei couldn't sleep in the luxurious palace, just say that after Liu Beijun's new Situ Mizhu and Sikong Mifang returned home, Mi Fang suddenly invited Mi Zhu into the secret room to discuss important matters, and after the two brothers entered the secret room, Mi Fang said to Mi Zhu straight to the point: "Brother, Liu Bei is desperate, Dong Zhuo's unification of the world is unstoppable, we can't sit still, we must find another way out." The brother believes that we should immediately contact Dong Zhuo to discuss surrender. ”

"Ru'an dares to say such a kingless and fatherless statement?" Unlike his brothers, Mi Zhu is still a loyal and righteous person, Mi Zhu said angrily: "I have been with the saint for a long time, and now that the national disaster is at the head, you don't want to repay the long live, but surrender in your heart and do what the ten thousand people scolded?" ”

"Big brother, how much did we sacrifice for that Liu Bei? Even his only sister married him. Mi Fang said coldly: "What can you get in exchange?" Raiding the house? Destroy the door? Or the Nine Clans? Our Mi family rose from businessmen to Shi in Xuzhou, I don't know how many merchants and scholars are red-eyed, they have long been looking forward to Dong Zhuo coming in and killing our whole family, they will have a bright future, we don't surrender, naturally they surrender. ”

"Needless to say." Mi Zhu said angrily: "I swear allegiance to the death, long live, and never surrender to Dong." The two brothers quarreled, no one could convince whom, and finally broke up unhappily, Mi Fang was scolded by the eldest brother for the sake of the family, and was furious in his heart, so he simply repaired a letter to express his willingness to dedicate Xuzhou City to the inside, and let the family go out of the city overnight to Dong Zhuojun, but the family was held by the patrol soldiers led by Chen Zhi when they went out of the city, and sent Mi Fang's family to Liu Bei together with the book, to Chen Zhi's expectation, Liu Bei did not get angry, and immediately arrested Mi Fang to cut off his head, but let Chen Zhi hide this matter, and quietly sent the Mi Fang family out of Xuzhou City overnight, and asked him to continue to send letters to Kang Peng.

A few days later, Kang Peng, who was leading the army to kill Xiao Pei, received Mi Fang's letter on the way, Kang Peng met the messenger alone in the big tent, and asked the messenger how to send the letter, the messenger told the truth, Kang Peng couldn't help but wonder Liu Bei's intention to do this, so he came to Jia Xu to discuss, Jia Xu laughed when he heard it, "The king is really smart, confused for a while, Liu Bei is obviously taking Mi Fang's surrender to ask for directions, testing whether the king can accept his Liu Bei's surrender." ”

"He's dreaming!" Kang Peng gritted his teeth and said: "Lone can accept anyone's surrender, only this hypocrite Liu Bei, Lone will never accept his surrender!" ”

"It's okay to tease him." Jia Xuyin said with a smile: "The king of the left and right wants to join the four major armies in Xiaopei, and there is still some time, Liu Bei usually looted so many gold and jade jewels in Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Huainan, wouldn't it be better for the king to let him spit it out by himself?" ”

Kang Peng laughed, immediately called the Mi Fang family, and said in a big way: "Go back and tell Mi Zizheng, just say that Lone agreed to his surrender, but there is one condition, Lone heard that his sister is very beautiful, as long as he dedicates his sister to Lone, Lone guarantees that he can enjoy all the glory and wealth after surrendering, at least change to a Hou Ye." Speaking of this, Kang Peng thought for a while, and said: "There is one more thing, Lonely's beloved concubine Gan Mi has a brother named Gan Xing in Xuzhou, and there is a wife and daughter at home, Mi Fang also has to find them for Lone and send them to Lone." "Finally, Kang Peng still has a little conscience, I still remember that one of his wives has relatives in Xuzhou, although his wife's niece is very beautiful, but Kang Peng, who has reformed his ways, will definitely not have a bad heart.

"Thank you, the king, the villain must tell the master." Mi Fang's family happily took the order, although Mi Fang's sister has married Liu Bei, but now Liu Bei can't even save his life, where can he keep his wife? However, as long as Mi Fang's sister is taken home, just wait for Xuzhou City to be broken, Mi Fang can give her sister to Kang Peng and keep the glory and wealth of the Mi family.

Sure enough, as Jia Xu expected, the Mi Fang family returned to the city before entering the Mi family, was sent by Liu Bei to take people into the palace, after learning Kang Peng's message, Liu Bei was overjoyed, while ordering the whole city to search for Gan Mi's brother's family, while sending Sun Qian to Kang Peng to send a letter of surrender, in the surrender book, Liu Bei assured Kang Peng that as long as Kang Peng accepted his surrender, Liu Bei was willing to abdicate and no longer be the emperor, and sacrifice the treasures of Xuzhou, even the Mi family who was canonized as the queen by Liu Bei could be dedicated to Kang Peng, only to ask Kang Peng to keep Liu Bei's King of Runan.

After Kang Peng read Liu Bei's book, he didn't say a word, and wrote down four words, "You can consider it." ”

After receiving Kang Peng's reply, Liu Bei immediately summoned all the officials and announced his decision to surrender to the civil and military officials, but a few people such as Tai Shici and Mi Zhu resolutely opposed it, Zhuge Liang and Chen Zhi and others were noncommittal, and other civil and military officials were in favor. Tai Shici objected: "Long live, our army and the Dong thief have no common hatred, how can we surrender to the national thief?" We are willing to sacrifice our lives for Banzai, even if we sacrifice our lives for the country. ”

Tai Shici's words did not have many people in the court to respond, Liu Beijun is now cornered, and no one dares to stand up and send him to death. Liu Bei cried and said: "Ziyi's loyalty, I have already understood, but I am willing to learn from Cao Cao, I would rather bear the infamy of surrendering without a fight, but also consider the way back for you, Dong Zhuojun's four-way army is approaching, and it is okay to be alone, but I have harmed you, and I can't bear it." ”

Liu Bei's best thing is to buy people's hearts, and he is even more handy when he cries, and his generous and passionate words made Liu Beijun's civil and military affairs, who was about to fall and scatter, burst into tears, kowtowed, and no longer opposed Liu Bei's surrender. Only Tai Shici did not give up and said: "Long live, Dong thief asked for the queen from Long live, and now Dong thief intends to humiliate Long live, and Anke will descend to the sun?" ”

"You have been following me for a long time, and you are my brother." Liu Bei cried and cried out his famous saying, "Brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes." The clothes are torn, but they can be sewn; Broken hands and feet, Encore continued? ”

Liu Bei said this, Tai Shici didn't say anything more, so he had to take the order, so the decision to surrender Dong Zhuojun was decided at the court meeting, Liu Bei automatically abdicated from the emperor's throne for only nine days, and then called the king of Runan, and scraped the ground in Xuzhou City, looted gold and jade jewelry, and carefully searched for Gan Xing's brother Gan Xing's family, the hard work paid off, the Gan Xing family who opened a small shop in Xuzhou was really found by Liu Beijun, Kang Peng's niece of Gan Bi is sixteen years old this year, and she was born ashamed of flowers. It has the appearance of a country and a city. Liu Bei was overjoyed, and sent the gold, silver and jewelry accumulated in the past ten years, along with the Gan Xing family, as well as Liu Bei's queen, to send Sun Gan to Dong Zhuojun, who had already stationed troops in Xiaopei.

Two days later, Liu Beijun's envoy group arrived in Xiaopei, and Kang Peng, who had already decided to quit sex, heard that the famous white jade beauty Sister Gan and the big beauty Sister Mi were coming, and immediately threw the oath made in front of Wen Lu and Cai Wenji to Jiuxiao Yun, and personally went out of the city to greet Sister Gan - it should be Kang Peng's niece, but unfortunately Sister Gan and Sister Mi were sitting in the car, Kang Peng couldn't see their appearance, but Gan Xing, a powerful relative who fell from the sky, took his wife to constantly kowtow to Kang Peng, Thanks to Kang Peng, who is rich and does not forget the high wind and bright festival of poor relatives. As for Liu Beijun's envoy Sun Qian, Kang Peng didn't even know a bird, and directly asked the soldiers to take him into the city to stay temporarily and wait for a response.

"This is Lone's niece?" After returning home, Gan Xing led his wife and daughter to kowtow to Kang Peng to confess his relatives, Kang Peng, who had not been close to a woman for a long time, looked at Sister Gan whose skin was like mutton fat jade, and asked. He almost said something like "come here and hug my uncle", and his anxious look frightened his niece to hide behind her parents.

Gan Xing is a smart person, and he is also a person who wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, seeing Kang Peng's appearance, he immediately knew it, and immediately nodded and said: "King Mingjian, the little girl can be regarded as the king's niece, or not." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Kang Pengqi said.

Gan Xingxin said that it is not okay if you take my daughter into the harem, but Gan Xing is naturally embarrassed to say this, but he is a little anxious with Gan Xing's virtuous wife, kowtowed: "King, although the fifth princess is the sister of the husband of the people's daughter, she is not her own sister, she was adopted by the mother-in-law from her relatives, although she is also surnamed Gan, but she is a distant relative. ”

"Yes, distant relatives, distant relatives." Gan Xing nodded and said, "If the king doesn't dislike the villain's daughter for her ugly appearance, please receive tea from the waiter next to you." "Actually, Gan Xing is indeed Gan Xing's own sister, but Gan Xing said this, naturally for ......

"You're smart." Kang Peng laughed and nodded, his hungry wolf-like eyes couldn't help but look at the little sheep Sister Gan, Gan Xing and his wife were overjoyed, and they also laughed with them, only their daughter was inexplicable.

When Kang Peng, who was about to make the next move, Jia Xu suddenly hurried in, Kang Peng was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly said: "Strategist, you came just in time, Lone Zheng wants to discuss something with you, did Liu Bei's wife, Strategist, see it?" I heard that you haven't taken a concubine for a long time, so it's better to take her in. ”

Jia Xu ignored Kang Peng's evil attempt to pull him into the water, and hurriedly saluted: "King, Liu Bei surrendered so quickly, I am only afraid of fraud, so you must be careful." ”

Jia Xu's words reminded Kang Peng that although the historical hypocrite Liu Bei was running around and constantly sending people under the fence, he had never surrendered so easily. Kang Peng had a thought in his heart, and immediately jumped up and shouted: "Send an urgent telegram to the Jiangnan Army, let all the sailors go to sea, block the coast of Xuzhou, and strictly prevent Liu Bei from escaping to the Yamatai Kingdom by sea!" ”
