Chapter 464: The Winner is King
"Surrender, surrender, if you dare to say surrender again, I will kill you with a sword!" Qian Zhou's persuasion remarks annoyed Liu Xian, and he suddenly drew his sword and committed murder. Liu Xun also looked sad and angry, but he didn't speak.
"Hugh is presumptuous!" Liu Zhang snorted, stopped his impulsive son, shook his head and sighed: "My father and son have been in Shu for more than 20 years, and they have no kindness to the people. It is my foolishness that leads the wolf into the house, and the people donate their flesh and blood to the grass, and these are my sins. ”
Although everyone knew that Liu Zhang was weak and mediocre, and he complained a lot in private, when Liu Zhang blamed himself at this time, everyone's disdain and complaints about Zhang seemed to have dispersed along with Liu Zhang's heartfelt self-blame.
Liu Zhang staggered to his feet, looking at this splendid hall, Liu Zhang's eyes were full of tears, and he sighed for a long time. After a long sigh, Liu Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "The people of Yizhou have been poisoned by this, and I, Liu Zhang, can live in this mansion with peace of mind, so it is better to surrender Kaicheng to appease the people." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh, and the big stone that was pressed on their chests finally fell to the ground because of Liu Zhang's words. Perhaps, such an ending is doomed in the eyes of everyone, and only Liu Zhang finally sees through it at this moment.
"Father, the foundation of Yizhou was laid down by my grandfather, how can I give it to people like this, I can't descend, I can't descend......"
Liu Yan was horrified when he heard this, howling and screaming, begging Liu Zhang to take back his life. Liu Zhang was indifferent, he was really tired and didn't want to go through this physical and mental torment anymore.
Since he took over the position of Yizhou pastor, he has been suffering from the cracks. There is Zhang Lu on the outside, and the powerful and uncontrolled in the state, the barbarians continue to make chaos repeatedly, and now they are forced by Liu Yong to come here, as a master of mediocrity, Liu Zhang can no longer hold on.
"I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore!"
Liu Zhang's tone was quite resolute, he thought that there were still ministers who would cry and beg him to take back his life, but when Liu Zhang was extremely disappointed, except for the second son Liu Xian, no one persuaded him, even the eldest son Liu Xun was unmoved, maybe he had already guessed this ending.
In despair, Liu Zhang did not hesitate, and said silently: "Youzai, please go out of the city again, and convey my intention to surrender to that Liu Cheqi, Zichu, draft a surrender book!" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liu Zhang surrendered!
Although this result had long been expected by Liu Yong, when he heard that Dong He, who had gone and returned, told him the news in person, the indescribable excitement in his heart still arose spontaneously, and he couldn't help but think about it.
Just a few years ago, he was an ignorant young man in later generations, a worthless weak man like an ant, hoping to earn more money so that he and his grandmother could live better. Unexpectedly, in a few years, he would become the lord of the two states and become a real big force in this era.
A big man who shook the whole of China in one word, presumably, must have his own strong stroke in the history of later generations.
Although there are still a few counties in the southwest and southeast of Yizhou that still refuse to obey the decree in the hands of the barbarians, even if he now takes over the existing counties of Yizhou from Liu Zhang, it is enough for him to leap forward again, and he can completely compete with Cao Cao's second largest princely power in the world.
Everything suddenly felt like a dream, real and within reach, but so incredible.
After the excitement, Liu Yong quickly regained his composure, and he immediately swore to the sky that he would fulfill his promise to settle Liu Zhang, and asked Dong He to return to the city immediately, urging Liu Zhang to leave the city early tomorrow morning and return to the city with a letter from the state pastor.
The news that Liu Zhang was preparing to surrender soon spread throughout the battalion, and the officers and men of the three armies were all overjoyed.
The soldiers from Jingzhou were excited because they were thousands of miles away from their hometowns, fought bloodily, and finally achieved a good result.
The soldiers from Yizhou were excited because their former masters were finally kind, and they didn't have to worry about meeting their fellow soldiers.
After a night of excitement, at dawn the next day, Liu Yong, under the escort of Chen Zhi and Ling Tong, led thousands of elite foot riders, several miles away from the camp, and waited early on the avenue outside the south gate of Chengdu.
Soon, the scout reported that Liu Zhang, with a group of family members and hundreds of Yizhou civil and military officials, had left the city and was slowly coming here.
The spies of the various forces hiding here and there have used their own means to convey the situation here to their masters as quickly as possible, and all signs here indicate that this is not a show, but a real surrender.
After a stick of incense, as many as 200 people surrendered into the field of vision, Liu Yong sat on his mount Chifeng, holding the Zhanlu sword, looking into the distance, only to see the front of the team, a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes was holding a seal in his hand, and his footsteps were like pouring lead to come here step by step.
Liu Yong asked Fa Zhengdao beside him: "The person in front of him is Liu Jiyu?" ”
Fa Zheng glanced at it carefully, nodded and smiled: "That's right, it's indeed Liu Jiyu." My lord, Fa Zheng is here, congratulations on taking Yizhou. ”
"Haha......" Lau Wing Chun was full of faces, looked up to the sky and laughed, and drove the horse forward.
Thousands of paces moved slowly, heading towards the surrendered procession.
Moments later, two teams with diametrically opposed emotions met on this vast plain. Ten steps away, Liu Zhang, who was depressed and depressed, stepped forward with a seal ribbon in his hand, lowered his head and said, "Liu Zhang, descender, meet General Liu." The Yizhou Muyin Silk books are all here, please check it by the general. ”
In front of the loser, Liu Yong has a sense of pride, but this is just a posture of a winner, and it does not mean how contemptuous he is for the loser in front of him. At that moment, Liu Yong turned over and dismounted, strode forward, helped Liu Zhang up with his own hands, shook his hand and sighed: "If I don't want to take away your foundation, it's really a last resort." ”
What is the last resort, the weak eat the strong, and it is your territory that is grabbed!
Having said that, Liu Yong still has to say that this face cover-up, after all, everyone is a scholar, and they can't be so red. Of course, everyone, including Liu Zhang, knew that it was fake, but what could they do if they knew it was so.
"Zhang has no virtue and no talent, according to Yizhou for more than ten years, he is ashamed, now Liu Cheqi came by the mandate of heaven, Zhang should have offered Yizhou earlier, the previous things have always been caused by Zhang's confusion, and I hope that Liu Cheqi will forgive his sins."
Liu Yong said humbly: "This Yizhou is the Yizhou of the imperial court, and I am just temporarily in charge of it on behalf of the imperial court." ”
"Yes, yes, Liu Zhennan is right!" Liu Zhang nodded again and again, turned back to the family members and said, "Why don't you come and see Liu Cheqi soon." ”
Behind him, Liu Zhang's wives and concubines and children all bowed their heads and walked towards each other, kneeling down and bowing to Liu Yong.
