Chapter 400: Liu Qi Returns to Shun
Hearing that the gate of Xiangyang City was wide open, there were still people from Xiangyang City who came to ask for a meeting.
Zhuge Liang, Yan Yan, and Huang Zhong were also a little stunned, but they did not refuse, and let the soldiers who came to report retreat, and invited the people from Xiangyang City to come in.
Although Huang Zhong's camp was burned down last night, after the battle, when Zhuge Liang arrived, he temporarily rebuilt a more modest battalion.
After all, it was already late at night, and the soldiers had experienced a fight, so they should not be too tired.
In addition, most of the defenders of Xiangyang have been eliminated now, as well as the Jingzhou army that came to support, there are not many Jingzhou troops left in Xiangyang City now, and with their current soldiers and horses, they can completely take Xiangyang City and settle in Xiangyang, so there is no need to establish a perfect battalion.
Soon.
The soldiers of the Qin army who withdrew walked in with five or six people, including military generals and civil ministers, and none of them had any weapons on them.
"Jingzhou Liu Qi (Pang Ji... I've seen three adults! ”
The person who came was Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi, as well as Pang Ji and others who supported Liu Qi.
This is what they have decided before, Zhang Yun led the army out of the city, and Huang Zu, who came from Jiangxia, led the army to attack the Qin army camp, if they won, they will continue to stay in Xiangyang City, and release the people they control.
On the contrary, if Zhang Yun's plan fails, then he will surrender directly.
Having lost 25,000 defenders and 30,000 Jingzhou troops who came to support, there are now 5,000 soldiers and horses left in the city, and they can't resist the attack of the Qin army at all.
Fight to the death or surrender, there is no third way to go.
Liu Qi?
Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang, and Yan Yan also glanced at each other, with a hint of shock in their eyes.
They are attacking the land of Jingzhou, and they must have a certain understanding of Jingzhou, and it is clear that Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son, but now he appears in their camp.
There is a certain amount of speculation about Liu Qi bringing people here, as well as Xiangyang City, where the city gate is wide open.
"I don't know why Liu Gongzi came this time?" Huang Zhong reacted and asked.
Zhuge Liang and Yan Yan also looked at Liu Qi.
Although the two of them rescued Huang Zhong in time, Huang Zhong was still the chief general appointed by Qin Yin to come to Xiangyang, so Huang Zhong was still the main one here.
Of course, their private friendship is not bad, and there will be no disputes because of this.
Although they have a certain guess in their hearts about Liu Qi bringing people here, there is no positive answer, it is just a guess, not a fact.
still wants to get a corresponding answer from Liu Qi's mouth.
After all, there are still certain defenders in Xiangyang City, and they can quickly take Xiangyang City, but they still need to pay a certain price.
It would be better if I could...
I don't want to refuse such a good thing.
Not to mention, Liu Qi is still Liu Biao's eldest son, and with such an identity, he can do a lot of things.
"General Hui, we have come to surrender, and those who oppose it in the city have been controlled by me, and they can welcome the army into the city at any time!" Liu Qi arched his hand.
The decision has already been made, and he is not a person who hesitates, so early this morning, he asked Pang Ji and the others to gather and rush to the Qin army camp together.
Moreover, although Pang Ji and the others had some thoughts about his decision last night, they did not leave, but agreed and continued to follow him.
It made his heart feel much better.
If Pang Ji and the others really chose to leave, he would still let Pang Ji and the others leave in the end, after all, he was not a ruthless person, and with Pang Ji and the others secretly supporting him, it also saved him from many threats.
Otherwise, he alone may have been killed by Cai Mao and others.
He can still see this very clearly.
"Submission?" Huang Zhong's eyes flashed, and he wondered.
"That's right, we're not lying!" Liu Qi replied with a serious face.
If Zhang Yun and the others did not have the idea of leading the army out of the city, and finally lost most of the Xiangyang defenders and were directly killed, then he would not have made such a firm decision.
Although Liu Biao married Mrs. Cai, after giving birth to Liu Cong, it did change a lot to him, but it was his father after all.
However, now there are 5,000 defenders left in the city, but the Qin army here has tens of thousands of people, and they can't hold Xiangyang at all, so why let the soldiers sacrifice in vain.
Moreover, when he came to the main tent of the Qin army's camp.
He saw some captured Jingzhou soldiers, and he also saw Kuai Liang's figure.
Kuai Liang, who was the commander of the town guarding Shangyong, was imprisoned, and it was obvious that Shangyong had fallen into the hands of the Qin army.
It is also understood where the reinforcements of the Qin army that suddenly appeared last night came from.
Shangyong was occupied by the Qin army.
Even if he led 5,000 soldiers to defend Xiangyang, it would no longer have any meaning for the battle situation.
Because, the initiative is already in the hands of the Qin army.
As Liu Biao's eldest son, he is not unlearned, he still has a certain ability, if he didn't have the ability, he would have been swallowed to the scum.
Hear the words.
Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang, and Yan Yan also glanced at each other.
Originally, he had already guessed in his heart, but when he heard Liu Qi's answer, he could really affirm it.
If it weren't for the desire to surrender.
How could Liu Qi personally bring people here, and also open the gates of Xiangyang City.
Of course, there may also be a conspiracy.
However, being able to take Xiangyang City without spending a single soldier, without bloodshed, without much effort, and with Liu Qi's support, it is still of great benefit to them to control Xiangyang City.
Even if there is a conspiracy, it is worth a fight.
What's more, they didn't think that Liu Qi could stir up any storms with 5,000 soldiers and horses.
The three of them made eye contact and nodded slightly.
"In this way, I will lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, and first enter the city with Liu Gongzi, and then the army will enter again, how about it?" Huang Zhong looked at Liu Qi and said.
Zhuge Liang and Yan Yan did not speak, and did not object to Huang Zhong's arrangement.
Although Liu Qi's expression was very serious, he had to guard against it, even if Liu Qi really wanted to take refuge in him, it still needed to be tested.
In any case, Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son, and this identity is not enough to gain their complete trust.
"Yes!" Liu Qi nodded.
For Huang Zhong's words.
He didn't have any objections, Huang Zhong and the others were on guard, that was really normal, if it was so easy to trust others, then the Qin army would not have the power it has now.
And he really wants to surrender, and he doesn't have any worries.
