There are Kunpeng in the sky, spreading their wings and pride; **Only one sweep, the four seas become unified;
On the winter solstice in 202 AD, Xuzhou Chen Deng surrendered to Dayan, led the Dayan Navy 20,000 into Xu, two days later, broke through Xuzhou Zhisuo Xiapi, five days later, respectively captured Chu County, Dongwu, Yangdu, Lingxi, Juxian cities, completely cut off the Wei and Wu two countries in Pyeongchang City, and formed a huge encirclement with the Second Army Corps outside Pyeongchang City. Fastest updates
The news spread, and the allied forces of the two countries in Pyeongchang City fell into endless panic and unease.
In the palace, Xu Huang sat on the main seat in a daze, his eyes lost their previous brilliance, Chen Deng's betrayal at this time was fatal to the entire Great Wei.
"It's over, it's completely over," Chen Qun on the side sighed deeply.
"Xiapi was seized, hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass were returned to Dayan, at most in another ten days, our army will face the danger of lack of food, all of them will collapse without a fight" On the other side, Zang Ba, who has a calm temperament and a thick beard, is also desperate, without the courage of the past.
"The overall situation is decided, everything is over" I saw Lu Su also in the hall again, his eyes were filled with tears, first Zhou Yu and a large number of elites of Wu were captured, and now Chen Deng rebelled, Xuzhou is over, the Central Plains is over, Wu is over, the world will be all under Dayan, and they will all become prisoners of the order.
"Chen Yuanlong" Xu Huang suddenly let out an extremely unwilling cry, and slammed his fists on the desk.
"General, Yuan Ping has sent an envoy" At this time, an adjutant general suddenly ran in and reported.
Xu Huang's eyes froze, he slowly raised his head, and said in a cold tone: "What else does he want to do?"
"What else can there be, it's just persuasion," Lu Su said lightly.
"He dreamed, he would not have taken refuge in Dayan if he was going to die," Xu Huang said angrily.
"General, don't be angry first, let's see what Yuan Ping says?" Chen Qun persuaded helplessly.
Xu Huang clenched his fists tightly, and after being silent for a long time, he spit out a few words with difficulty, and said, "Bring it in."
"No!"
Not long after, a man dressed in the official uniform of Da Yan Zheng's five grades, with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary appearance, slowly came to the main hall.
After the four people in the hall took a look, Chen Qun suddenly shouted in surprise: "Yuan Ji"
"Uncle" saw the man respectfully salute Chen Qun, it was really Chen Zuo of the third generation of the Chen family, who was currently the staff of the Second Army Corps, in charge of logistics and materials.
"Why are you here" After being surprised, Chen Qun shouted with some concern, at this time Xu Huang was angry, and he might have made an act of killing the envoy.
"My nephew came here this time on the orders of the marshal, hoping that General Xu Huang could open the city and surrender, and not make unnecessary casualties," Chen Zuo said honestly.
"Dreaming" Xu Huang immediately roared, and said with murderous intent on his face: "For the sake of you being Changwen's nephew, Ben will let you go this time, get out of me immediately, and tell Yuan Ping that if you have the ability, you will come to attack the city."
Chen Zuo smiled slightly, not frightened at all, and arched his hand: "General Xu Huang, now that the overall situation has been decided, the entire Pyeongchang will be out of food in half a month at most, and our army can take Pyeongchang at any time."
"Are you trying to scare the general?" Xu Huang's eyes became sharper and sharper.
"Yuan Ji, step aside," Chen Qun immediately ordered.
"Uncle, my nephew is not wrong, the marshal asked his nephew to come over, so that his nephew told General Xu Huang that as long as General Xu Huang is willing to surrender, the marshal can immediately play the king and dispense with the original order to slaughter the city" Chen Zuo announced in a loud voice.
"What" Chen Qun's pupils shrank.
"General Xu Huang, you are a peerless tiger general, naturally fearless, but have you ever thought about the lives of these sixty or seventy thousand soldiers in the city, tens of thousands of people, they may not want to fight anymore, they want to go home and reunite with their families, they want to live a few days of peace, if the general trend is determined today, do not hide the general, Shu has also been completely defeated, the five countries no longer exist, the world should be unified, the people should also enjoy the arrival of the world, these decades of war, should be completely over" Chen Zuo said earnestly.
Xu Huang was shocked, and the whole person couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Since Emperor Ling, the world has been strife, how many people have died, how many relatives have been separated, millions, or even tens of millions of people, have been displaced, and now the king has inherited the mandate of heaven and succeeded the unification, why should the general be foolish and loyal?" Chen Zuo continued to persuade with a sincere face.
Hearing this, Zang Ba and Chen Qun both bowed their heads, if it was okay, they were naturally willing to be loyal, but now the situation is obvious, he is already bound to lose, Chen Tan is right, why increase the lives of tens of thousands of troops and people.
"Lord Chen, in the Lower Wu Kingdom Lu Zijing, there is one thing, I don't know if I can tell me" At this time, Lu Su suddenly asked with an expectant face.
"Lord Lu Su, do you want to ask Governor Zhou," Chen Zuo immediately smiled.
"Really, Gongjin, how is he" A hint of eagerness flashed in Lu Su's eyes.
"Lord Lu, please rest assured, Governor Zhou is a great talent, and he has been safely sent to Yecheng, and after the Central Plains is unified, the king will see him in person" Chen Zuo said softly.
Hearing this, Lu Su's face suddenly became much more relaxed, it was good that he didn't die, and he hugged his fists and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, you will be a minister of the same palace in the future," Chen Zuo said with a smile.
Lu Su was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"Yuan Ji, you come with me" At this time, Chen Qun said solemnly.
"Uncle" Chen Zuo was a little surprised.
"Let's go" Chen Qun pulled Chen Zuo out of the main hall.
After coming outside, Chen Zuo said in a hurry: "Uncle, my nephew's task has not been completed yet."
"What else do you want to say, General Xu Huang is much smarter than he imagined, things are too much, let the general think about it himself" Chen Qun frowned.
Chen Zuo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that he was indeed a little anxious.
"Yuan Ji, are you okay in Dayan?" Chen Qun changed his words and asked with concern.
"It's good, but because of the third brother's matter, the Chen family is not as good as the Xun family at present," Chen Zuo said helplessly.
"The matter of your third brother, I also heard about it, I don't know what to say, is he qualified to talk about it? King Yan didn't kill him, it's all because of our Chen family," Chen Qun said disappointedly.
"Uncle, don't be angry, the king didn't say anything in the end, and the marshal also attaches great importance to our Chen family, otherwise it won't be his nephew's turn to persuade him to surrender" Chen Tan comforted,
"This is because you are the nephew of a certain person, and the second is because the Yuan family was originally the head of the Shi clan in the world, and naturally has a good impression of my Chen family, but this alone is not enough, if there is an arrogant person like your third brother in every generation, then even if my Chen family has a great background, it will also perish" Chen Qun said solemnly.
"That's what Uncle said," Chen Zuo said quickly.
"This time you came to persuade you to surrender is an opportunity, maybe you can improve your status in King Yan's heart" Chen Qun's eyes flashed.
"Uncle means" Chen Zuo was suddenly a little excited.
Chen Qun sighed and said: "Uncle didn't choose well, the Chen family can only rely on you in the future, the general trend of the world has been divided, it is impossible for King Wei to turn the tables, uncle will help you and let you gain a firm foothold in Dayan."
Chen Zuo's eyes immediately showed a deep joy, and he said deeply: "Thank you, uncle"
That night, the temperature was slightly cool, and in a pavilion in the mansion, Xu Huang and Chen Qun stood side by side.
"General" Chen Qungang wanted to say something, Xu Huang waved his hand lightly, and said expressionlessly: "Changwen doesn't need to say much, I know what you mean, it's really time to end now, King Wei is defeated"
"General, the will of heaven is like this, don't blame yourself too much," Chen Qun comforted.
Xu Huang smiled bitterly and said, "Tomorrow, convene the generals of all armies to discuss the matter, and there will be something to announce."
After finishing the order, Xu Huang left directly.
"No!" Chen Qun responded.
