Chapter 290: A Book of Surrender
"Father, that Huang Quan really can't be trusted. He conspired with Wu Yi and others, and three days later wanted to get rid of his father in the name of killing Liu Cong, and then stick to Chengdu. If you can't do it, you will surrender again......" Liu Xun didn't drink much during the day's banquet, just to grasp the situation in the city. It's just that I didn't expect that there would really be news so soon, and the subordinates who followed Huang Quan relayed the drunken words of Huang Quan, Wu Yi and others to Liu Xun, and Liu Xun immediately came to report to Liu Zhang.
"Damn! I'm here to send someone to catch this thief! ”
"Father, no! Huang Quan, Wu Yi, Wu Ban and others controlled most of the soldiers in Chengdu. I'm afraid it won't be easy to catch him at this time, if it doesn't work, he will be victimized! ”
"How's that to be?" Liu Zhang was also hesitant when his son said this.
"Three days later, my father will lead the officials in the city to surrender to Liu Cong, so it is better to take advantage of this contact. Everyone is a member of the Han family, presumably Liu Cong will not do anything to his father. ”
"But that Liu Bei ......" Liu Zhang naturally remembered Liu Bei's fate.
"Father, Liu Bei is in the nest, he has lived under Liu Biao for several years, but at the critical moment, he wanted to embezzle the foundation of Jingzhou, and did not think of resisting Cao Cao together, but wanted to copy Liu Cong's back road, which annoyed Liu Cong.
Didn't Liu Bei's Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and others also get Liu Cong's reuse? ”
"Let the father think again......" According to Liu Zhang's limited information, Liu Cong is like a person who does great things. But Liu Bei's fate really made Liu Zhang undecided.
On the third day, Huang Quan was carefully preparing for defense, and widely posted notices to recruit troops. In the same three days, Liu Cong's camp was also preparing siege equipment day and night. Only Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, spent two days in panic, and finally survived until the sunrise on the third day. 、
Today, he Liu Zhang doesn't have much choice. Stick to it, facing the danger of being seized by Huang Quan and others, and may even die.
Surrender, if Liu Cong does not spare him, the lord of Yizhou, then he will soon meet Liu Bei on Huangquan Road.
"Lord, everything is ready, please do your best to deceive that Liu Cong, we will definitely be able to take it down in one fell swoop!" Liu Zhang was still immersed in a dilemma, and Huang Quan came to the State Pastoral Supervision Institute early in the morning.
"Well, then I'll leave everything to justice." He has lived in this prison for decades, and I don't know if there will be a chance to come back after walking out of this door today. Liu Zhang looked at several civil officials who were ready. He said very softly: "Let's go!" ”
The person who followed Liu Zhang to present the surrender book was Xu Jing, a famous man and former Taishou of Guanghan County.
When Liu Cong attacked Yucheng before, he ran back to Chengdu, and Zhang Ren replaced him. This time Liu Cong attacked Chengdu, and Xu Jing was a firm surrenderer. If Liu Zhang wants to go out of the city and surrender, he naturally has to bring a few weighty people. Huang Quan, Wu Yi and other generals naturally had to stick to the city wall.
Liu Zhang took Pang Xi, Xu Jing and Wu Lan out of the city to hand over the surrender book.
Although there is a legal reminder, it doesn't matter whether Liu Zhang really descends or fakes. Liu Cong didn't want to damage his prestige by snubbing Liu Zhang, Xu Jing and other celebrities who had no fame. So when he heard that Liu Zhang was coming, he led Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and other civil and military cadres to meet him.
saw a group of people behind Liu Cong, especially Fa Zheng and Zhang Song, who were in high spirits. Liu Zhang was even more emotional. Except for Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, the rest of them is the old department of Yizhou. If you want to blame, you can only blame this troubled world, and completely forget why these capable generals are standing behind their fierce opponents.
Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Zhang Ren and others saw the old master again, and in this case, they were also very emotional, and it was inevitable that they would be a little embarrassed and guilty.
"Brother Ji Yu, I finally looked forward to you. You can be regarded as a wise decision, thank you Brother Ji Yu for the people of Chengdu. After the two met, Liu Cong also discovered the embarrassment of the generals behind him, and hurriedly opened the topic.
"The general of the defeated army begged the general to treat the people of Yizhou well. This is the general of the city's soldiers and people's household registers, please take a look at the general......"
"Brother Ji Yu is outside, come and ask the tent to speak!"
"This is Xu Wenxiu, a famous man in Runan, and this is ......" Liu Zhang immediately introduced the entourage to Liu Cong.
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Runan Xu, long Yang, long Yang!" For goods like Xu Jing, Liu Cong is not very cold, but Liu Cong doesn't want to make people say that he is rude, so he asks Xu Jing and Pang Xi. Wu Lan and the others greeted them one by one.
Everyone welcomed Liu Zhang and others into the tent. In addition to Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, and Zhang Ren were all standing on the side. Instead, let Liu Zhang sit under Liu Cong. Pang Xi, Xu Jing and others have one each.
After Liu Zhang sat down, Fa Zheng and the others stepped forward one by one to salute and saw the old master.
The behavior of the three of them made Liu Zhang a little trance, not to surrender, but to be a guest. Not only Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, and Zhang Ren were so polite to them. Liu Cong, Zhuge Liang and others are also to be seen. Especially Liu Cong, who opened his mouth to Brother Ji Yu and closed his mouth to Brother Ji Yu, as if the two were talking about the alliance rather than one side surrendering to the other. According to Liu Cong's temper, he would not be so polite to Liu Zhang.
It's just that Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng both persuaded Liu Cong to treat Liu Zhang leniently, plus there was Zhang Ren's factor, so Liu Cong tried his best to restrain his dislike for these people in his heart and treat each other with good words. This made Xu Jing, Pang Xi and others also flattered! Even in Chengdu in the past, Liu Zhang was just like this to them, but now Liu Cong, as a general of the southern expedition, is still so polite to those who surrender to them.
Liu Zhang didn't expect that he would still have a seat in Liu Cong's army, and even Fa Zheng and the others were standing. This shows that Liu Cong treats himself sincerely, at least he has restrained Fazheng, Zhang Ren and others in advance. So after sitting down, he kept sweeping around the faces of several people, trying to get as much information as possible.
Liu Zhang's eyes were purring, but Liu Cong was smiling all the time.
"Brother Ji Yu, you and I are fighting each other with swords, which is not what I thought. However, Your Majesty has an edict to contact me, asking me to contact the princes of the world to save Your Majesty and save the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Brother Ji Yu said a word, and Cong led his troops into Shu. It's just that I never wanted to be angry with the thief. And Brother Ji Yu must have been instigated by the villain, and he embarrassed me from it. I think that Yang Huai and Gao Pei are even more hateful, and they actually use troops without authorization, and they want to sneak attack me from behind!
…… Hey, don't mention the past! Liu Cong looked very sad, and he was not in a hurry to end the roster in Liu Zhang's hand, and did not mention the surrender, but reminisced with Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang, who was originally panicked, also quieted down at this moment, and followed Liu Cong's rhythm and agreed aimlessly.
Pang Xi on the side spoke: "After this surrender, I also ask General Zhengnan to fulfill his promise, treat my lord well, and treat the people of Yizhou well......"
"That's nature, that's nature!" Liu Cong then took over the topic, "After Ben will take over Yizhou, he will definitely follow Brother Ji Yu." I am also sure that you will continue to play for Yizhou and Dahan! ”
"......" Liu Zhang and the others bowed their heads and remained silent.
"Come on, watch the tea!" Liu Cong tried his best to ease the atmosphere, although he was unhappy in his heart, he also agreed with the words of Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng, these people are quite famous in Chengdu and even in the whole Yizhou. It will be of great benefit to him to subdue the hearts of the people of Yizhou in the future. Besides, although these people are not good at soldiers and horses, under the encouragement of these people, Yizhou is also rich in the people.
When the hot tea came up, the trembling demeanor of several people had almost recovered. Liu Zhang was the only one sitting there in a daze. He was deep in thought. When I came out of Chengdu in the morning, I was thinking about whether I could go back to Chengdu. If Liu Cong takes Yizhou and harms him, he will be powerless.
According to today's situation, Liu Cong also wants to be a hero. Do you want to tell him about Huang Quan's ambush in Wengcheng? Three days ago, I heard my son Liu Xun say that Huang Quan wanted to calculate with himself. Liu Zhang's heart was completely cold. Later, Liu Xun proposed to take advantage of Liu Zhang's exit from the city and Huang Quan and others to ambush him; Liu Xun led people to control the families of Huang Quan and others in exchange for Liu Zhang's safety.
Even so, Liu Zhang has no bottom in his heart, but he doesn't believe in his son. It's Huang Quan's gang, if they insist on doing so, I'm afraid that even if they carry his father up to the city wall, they won't be able to stop selling it. At that time, even if he is not shot by Huang Quan's subordinates, he will definitely be angered by Liu Cong! Surrender is not a trivial matter, in a fit of anger, Liu Cong is afraid of exterminating his three clans!
But if Huang Quan can really kill Liu Cong with one blow, then the tens of thousands of troops outside the city will not be afraid. There is still a possibility for the people of Yizhou to recover. As for Huang Quan and the others, they can find a way to punish them in the future, wouldn't it be a pity if they surrendered?
Being in a high position and accustomed to being a prince, Liu Zhang, is inevitably a little bit of a loser. Except for the first few greetings, Liu Zhang basically didn't listen to what Liu Cong said at the top.
"Brother Ji Yu?" Seeing Liu Zhang in a daze on the side, completely unintegrated into the interaction between the guest and the host, Liu Cong couldn't help but remind.
"Oh...... Good tea, good tea......"
If Wei Yan, Gan Ning and others were in the tent, they would definitely have to split Liu Zhangsheng! Didn't my lord invite you to tea, you came to surrender, and you actually deserted?
Liu Cong was also speechless, and looked at Xu Jing, Pang Xi and others helplessly. The heart said, let me say what is good to you?' That Zhang Ren surrendered at least confidently said one, two, and three conditions. You are a state pastor, don't talk about the conditions, at least you have to fight for your own retreat, right? Still thinking about desertion?
"My lord, what General Zhengnan means is to ask, will he continue to stay in Yizhou in the future, or return to his hometown? If you are willing to stay in Chengdu, you will be moved to Shu County, and if you return to your hometown, you will be named the Marquis of Jingling. Wu Lan, who came with her, couldn't stand it anymore. This Yizhou Mu is you Liu Zhang, I and the others estimate that it will be official reinstatement, and I don't dare to take it lightly, you are good, you actually deserted.
Losing the county? Marquis of Jingling? Is this true? Liu Zhang didn't expect Liu Cong to find a good place for himself on the spot. I haven't mentioned the request on my side, and I didn't think about asking for it in front of Liu Cong before I came, for fear of annoying Liu Cong. Now this Liu Cong actually took the initiative to talk about where he belonged?
"Thank you General Zhengnan for not killing. Zhang is willing to retreat to the countryside. ”
