Chapter 698: Cornered

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Fan Chong also hoped to find Mo Yan back, but the men he sent searched the whole camp, but they couldn't find Mo Yan's figure, and even Mo Yan's men disappeared.

It was only at this time that Fan Chong was sure that Mo Yan had indeed run away, abandoning him and abandoning his red eyebrows.

Fan Chong didn't have time to worry about Moyan's affairs, because a bigger crisis had come. The Han army led by Feng Yi and the Han army led by Hou Jin approached the camp of the Red Mei Army from the west and south.

Liu Xiu, Feng Yi, Hou Jin, and the three-way Han army have already completed the encirclement of the Red Mei Army.

In this situation, the situation faced by the Red Eyebrow Army is that it cannot fight, and it cannot defend.

There is not much food and grass in the Red Eyebrow army at all, once they are trapped for ten days and half a month, they don't need the Han army to attack, they themselves have to be starved to death first, but if they forcibly break through the siege, it is tantamount to asking for their own death.

In the face of such a predicament, whether it is Fan Chong, or Xu Xuan, Feng An, Xie Lu and others, they are helpless. On the first day after the Battle of Yiyang, the Red Mei Army closed the camp gate and no longer went to battle. The next day, the Han army began to press forward, and the main force of the Han army, led by Liu Xiu, camped outside the east camp of the Chimei army, and the Han army led by Feng Yi camped outside the west camp of the Chimei army

The battalion, the Han army led by Hou Jin, camped outside the southern camp of the Red Mei Army.

As for the north camp of the Red Mei Army, it was Yiyang City, and it was a dead end.

Now, the Han army's tactics against the Red Mei Army are to besiege but not attack, and wait for the Red Mei Army to sit and wait for death.

At this time, the people of the Red Eyebrow Army were already panicked, and the army was in turmoil. The soldiers were both timid and even more war-weary, and their morale fell to the bottom.

Fan Chong convened the generals to discuss countermeasures, and this time, he rarely invited Liu Penzi here. Liu Penzi is not yet seventeen years old, just a half-old child, although the Red Eyebrow Army pushed him to be the emperor, but on weekdays, no one in the Red Eyebrow Army regarded him as an emperor at all, not to mention that the generals looked down on him, even if he was an ordinary soldier, he was not happy

can also reprimand him a few words.

Waiting for Liu Penzi and the generals to gather in the Chinese military tent, Fan Chong said with a solemn face: "Right now, the enemy army is menacing, and it has formed a siege of our army's camp, do you have a good way to break the enemy?" ”

Xu Xuan sighed and shook his head.

In the Red Eyebrow Army, if you want to be resourceful, Xu Xuan is the number one, but for the current situation, Xu Xuan is helpless. Xu Xuan was still like this, and the rest of the people had no choice, and people lowered their heads one after another and said nothing.

Fan Chong's heart was in turmoil, he turned his head to look at Liu Penzi, and asked, "Your Majesty has a good plan?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Penzi looked at Fan Chong blankly, he didn't expect that Fan Chong would suddenly ask his head.

Of course, this is enough to prove that the current Fan Chong has reached the point where he is in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he even wants to ask Liu Penzi, a half-grown child, for his opinion.

Liu Penzi swallowed his saliva and stammered, "I ...... I listen to Dr. Fan! ”

"Huh!" Fan Chong couldn't help but laugh, both angrily and bitterly. He turned his eyes to Xu Xuan and asked, "Xu Xiang, how many days is our army's grain and grass enough?" ”

Xu Xuan said: "Three days at most, if you kill all the war horses in the army, perhaps, it can last one more day." Hearing this, everyone present had sour noses and almost tears falling from their eyes. War horses are the lifeblood of the cavalry and generals, and if the war is to the point of killing the war horse to satisfy hunger, then there is still a need to fight again

Is it?

Surrender! These two words came to everyone's minds almost at the same time, but no one dared to say them. In the huge tent of the Chinese army, there was silence again, a deathly silence.

Xu Xuan looked at Fan Chong, then at everyone, and suddenly said, "Surrender!" ”

His sudden words made the eyes of everyone present fall on Xu Xuan's face, and there was both shock, relief, and even relief in people's eyes.

Fan Chong subconsciously raised his hand, grasped the hilt of the sword, and said in a condensed voice: "Xu Xiang, do you know what you are talking about now?" ”

He can deter others, but he can't deter this old brother who formed the Red Eyebrow Army with him back then. Xu Xuan turned his head to look at Fan Chong, his expression was calm, his eyes were also calm, and he asked word by word: "Could it be that Doctor Yushi still has a good plan?" ”

"I ......" Fan Chong said, if he had a plan to break the enemy, why did he gather everyone over to discuss countermeasures?

Xu Xuan looked up to the sky and sighed, and said quietly: "There is no other way out, 100,000 brothers, if you want to live, there is no other way but to surrender to Liu Xiu." ”

The crowd in the audience lowered their heads again, although it was difficult to accept, but they also had to admit that Xu Xuan was right, and now if they wanted to live, they could only surrender.

However, these people have also crawled out of the pile of dead people, they have experienced so many thrilling battles, and they can live to this day, they also have their own pride, and now let them surrender to Liu Xiu, the mood can be imagined.

Fan Chong's hand holding the hilt of the sword slowly loosened, and said with a wry smile: "It's Chong's incompetence, which has affected all the brothers!" As he spoke, he suddenly arched his hand and bowed deeply to everyone present.

Seeing this, the people were taken aback, got up one after another, and said urgently: "Generalβ€”"

Fan Chong waved his hand to everyone, turned his head to look at Liu Penzi again, and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

"I ......" Liu Penzi said with a white face: "I ...... I still listen to Dr. Fan! ”

Fan Chong took a deep look at Liu Penzi and didn't say anything more. He seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden, slowly walked back to his seat, and slowly sat down.

Xu Xuan looked at Fan Chong, and then at everyone present, and finally, he took a deep breath and said in a condensed voice: "To discuss the matter of surrender, let Liu Gong go." ”

The Liu Gong he was talking about was Liu Penzi's eldest brother.

When Xie Lu killed Liu Xuan, it was Liu Gong who collected the corpse for Liu Xuan, and he didn't let Liu Xuan end up dead without a place to be buried.

Later, Liu Gong also tried to avenge Liu Xuan and assassinated Xie Lu, but he was unsuccessful, but fortunately, his younger brother Liu Penzi still had the title of the Son of Heaven, and Xie Lu did not kill him. Fan Chong asked Liu Gong to talk to Liu Xiu about surrender, one is that Liu Gong's weight is enough, after all, he is the eldest brother of the Son of Heaven, and second, Liu Gong is more inclined to the first court and Liu Xuan, and third, Liu Gong is a relative of the Liu family, and Liu Xiu

It is a clan relationship, and it is easier to speak.

Because of these considerations, Xu Xuancai recommended Liu Gong to negotiate surrender with Liu Xiu. After speaking, he looked at Fan Chong and asked, "What does Doctor Fan think?" ”

Fan Chong is now like a deflated ball, and his whole body is wilted. He nodded weakly, his voice so low that he couldn't even hear it clearly, and said, "Just ...... Just do it according to Xu Xiang's arrangement. ”

On the side of the Red Mei Army, in a desperate situation, running out of ammunition and food, and on the verge of annihilation of the whole army, they finally chose to surrender to Liu Xiu, and the messenger they sent was Liu Penzi's eldest brother, Liu Gong.

Liu Gong is much stronger than Liu Penzi, who was born in a cow herder, at least he is a cultural person, familiar with "Shangshu", and understands things well. He has never looked down on the Red Eyebrow Army.

The viciousness of the Red Mei Army in the Sanfu area, Liu Gong stood up many times to express his dissatisfaction, Fan Chong was humbly taught every time, but after being taught, he still went his own way, how it was before, and how it is now.

Liu Gong was also very dissatisfied with his younger brother, thinking that he should not be a puppet emperor controlled by the Red Mei Army, and repeatedly proposed to let Liu Penzi take the throne.

No matter who is the emperor, anyway, their Liu family will not be the puppet emperor.

Liu Penzi is a child, and he is also timid, and he proposed to the Red Eyebrow Army to give up the throne, and as soon as the words came out, Fan Chong and Xu Xuan glared, and his words immediately fell back.

It is estimated that the most aggrieved emperor in history belongs to Liu Penzi, who can't go out of the Zen position if he wants to, and can't be the emperor if he wants to.

Under the instruction of Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and others, Liu Gong, as the envoy of the Red Mei Army, sent Liu Xiujun to the camp.

When Liu Gong appeared outside the Yuanmen of the Han army camp, reported his name and surname, and explained his intention, the officers and soldiers guarding the Yuanmen asked him to wait here.

Under the scorching sun, Liu Gong was alone, standing outside the gate of the Han camp, and his appearance was tragic enough.

More than an hour later, the soldiers who reported the news came out of the camp, walked up to Liu Gong, squinted at him, and said proudly: "Liu Gong, right?" Let's go inside! Your Majesty has allowed you to enter the camp! ”

Liu Gong sighed secretly, bowed to the soldier, and said, "Thank you for this little brother!" ”

"Humph!" The soldier snorted coldly, didn't look at him again, turned and walked towards the camp.

Liu Gong hurriedly followed, and with the soldiers, they entered the Han army camp.

The atmosphere of the Han army camp, compared with the atmosphere of the Red Mei army camp, is completely one heaven and one earth. In the camp of the Red Eyebrow Army, there was a dead air, and a large number of soldiers sat inside and outside the camp tent, stunned and stunned, and their eyes were dull.

On their faces, there is no anger in sight, no hope in sight. A large number of wounded soldiers, no medicine to treat, and the sound of painful moans came and went, making people feel like they were scratching and rubbing their intestines.

On the other hand, in the Han army camp, the soldiers were full of spirit, and groups of patrolmen walked by from time to time, holding their heads high one by one, and there was a sense of slaughter all over their bodies.

There are almost no empty military yards in the barracks, whether it is a colonel military field or a small colonel military field, there are soldiers practicing in it, and the sound of neat shouting and cheering can be heard clearly from a long distance.

Just by looking at the atmosphere of the two armies, it is not difficult to judge who is the superior side and who is the inferior side.

Liu Gong followed the soldiers of the Han army, walked all the way, watched all the way, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the Chinese military tent of the Han army.

The number of guards here has increased significantly, and carefully watch the guards' dress, with iron helmets on their heads, iron armor, red cloaks on their backs, swords under their ribs, crossbow machines on their backs, and halberds in their hands.

Yu Lin Wei! Liu Gong could see the identities of these guards at a glance.

When he got here, the soldier turned around and said, "You are waiting here!" As he spoke, he walked up to a Yulinwei officer, bowed down, and said respectfully: "My lord, this is Liu Gong!" ”

The officer looked at Liu Gong, nodded to the soldiers, and then turned around and walked into the Chinese military tent. After a short time, he came out of it and said to Liu Gong: "Liu Gong, Your Majesty is invited!" ”

Liu Gong took a deep breath, bowed to Officer Lang, and then straightened his clothes and stepped into the Chinese military tent.

There are not many people in the Chinese military tent, or rather, Liu Xiu doesn't attach much importance to Liu Gong, and he doesn't meet him very solemnly.

Liu Gong raised his eyes and looked forward, only to see a young man in his twenties sitting in the center, wearing casual clothes, looking at his face, looking very handsome, with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and a polite and elegant atmosphere.

Beside him, kneeling sat a woman with a beautiful face and a country and a city.

Looking further to the left and right, there was a young man in his early twenties sitting on one side, who was handsome but a little thin, and a young man sitting on the other side, not very old, about thirty years old, looking handsome and heroic.

Liu Gong glanced at it quickly, and secretly guessed the identity of these people in his heart, the young man sitting in the center, no need to ask, it must be Liu Xiu, the Jianwu Emperor, the beautiful woman beside him is naturally his favorite concubine, the noble Yin Lihua. As for the two people sitting on both sides, it is estimated that one is the former Great Situ Deng Yu, and the other is the Great Sima Wu Han.
