Zhou Tai is now guarding Jiaozhou, although it is said to be Jiaozhou, now there is actually only one county left in the South China Sea, fortunately, Guan Yu is now busy dealing with Lu Xun and Tai Shici in the Jiaozhi area, and he has not had time to attack, so it is still very safe now.

Originally, Liu He could sit in Chang'an safely, waiting for Zhou Tai and Gu Yong to surrender, but Liu He was worried that there would be any accidents, in case such a person was missed because of his own negligence, his own sin would be great, so he ordered Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun to lead his army back, and there were only 1,000 Bai Yu soldiers under his command left, and the others were temporarily stationed in Wu County, and even Sun Quan returned to Chang'an with Bai Yu's deputy general Pei Yuanshao.

Although Sun Quan left, Liu He still had a letter of persuasion from Sun Quan to Zhou Tai in his hand, and even Sun Quan's ancient ingot knife was in Liu He's hands, and he was still a little sure that Zhou Tai and Gu Yong would surrender.

At that time, the environment was actually very treacherous, from Wu County to the South China Sea nearly 3,000 miles away, all the way to the mountains and rivers, although Liu He and the 1,000 people under his command accelerated the speed, it still took a full month to arrive.

Of course, during this period, Liu He also passed through many places, passing through the four counties of Wu County, Huiji, Linhai and Jian'an, and used his extraordinary charm to conquer the local officials and people everywhere he went, so that his reputation in the Jiangdong region was completely erected, and gradually the people returned to their hearts and the order was stable, even if Zhou Tai and they did not surrender, Liu He's trip was not in vain.

"What? The lord surrendered? Duke Qin came to surrender with his letter? Qin Gong ran 3,000 miles to the South China Sea, just to recruit me? ”

Due to the long distance and the lack of news, Zhou Tai did not know the news of Sun Quan's surrender until now, and he was first shocked, then angry, and finally a little moved.

It is unbelievable that Jiangdong, which is thousands of miles long, has millions of people under his command, and 100,000 warriors who can fight, and surrenders overnight, and is angry that his own lord is so unbearable that he dares to bow his knees to surrender to others, which is really not the lord Sun Quan that he understands.

What moved Liu He was that in order to be able to recruit himself, Liu He actually traveled three thousand miles and came to surrender in person, no matter what his position is, such a character is absolutely admirable.

Moved to be moved, this does not mean that Zhou Tai will surrender to him, he finally made a decision after some consideration: "After he comes, I will first ask him about his placement of the lord, if the lord is still alive, everything can be discussed, but if the lord has an accident, or is executed by him, I don't care what crime the lord has committed before, even if he dies, I will not choose to surrender." ”

Hearing that Liu He had arrived twenty miles outside the city, Zhou Tai immediately reorganized his troops and horses, assembled his troops, and formed a formation to "welcome" Liu He.

Although the soldiers in Panyu City are not very strong, after all, they are the forward positions of the defense of the Shu army, and there are still tens of thousands of people, so the team of tens of thousands of people is lined up together, and it is still quite imposing on the surface.

However, Liu He and his soldiers did not care about this at all, regarded the 10,000-strong army as nothing, and said with a smile: "General Youping, don't come to harm?" ”

Zhou Tai immediately bowed and said: "The armor is on the body, you can't give full salutes, Qin Gong asks for forgiveness, I don't know if Qin Gong has traveled thousands of miles, what advice do you have when you come to Jiaozhou?" ”

Liu He said with a faint smile: "Not only did he follow the order of the Son of Heaven to crusade against the rebel minister Sun Quan, his people plotted to kill his brother, the evidence is conclusive, and then tyrannized the people, causing tens of thousands of people in Jing County, Danyang County to be forced to rise up, my 200,000 army is progressing smoothly, along the way is like a bamboo, Sun Quan is expected to be invincible, Kaicheng surrendered, I read his mistakes and correct his mistakes, spare his life, but he played the Son of Heaven, deprived him of the title of Duke of Wu, changed the title of Marquis of Wu, and took his brother Sun Ce's son Sun Shao as the Duke of Wu, Sun Ce was posthumously awarded the Duke of Wu Huan, posthumously awarded the general of Zhendong, His wife Wu was named the lady of Yueguo, Wu Houquan has now taken his mother to Chang'an and Changju, before leaving to write a letter of persuasion, to Jiaozhou assassin Shi Zhoutai and Jiaozhou Zhizhong Gu Yong to surrender to me, so I am not far from 3,000 miles to see the two, looking forward to the two can be loyal to my Han, to assist me to achieve the prosperity of my Han Dynasty. By the way, where is Gu Zhizhong? ”

Liu He glanced around and found that there was no Gu Yong's figure, and suddenly felt strange.

I saw Zhou Tai sigh, and said with some sadness: "Gu Yuansigh suffered from a serious illness because of the unsuitability of the water and soil, and then wrote to the lord, that is, Wu Hou, to request that he be transferred back to Wu County, but before he could reply to the letter, he died suddenly, Gu Yuansigh was an official in Jiaozhou, loved the people like a son, the official reputation has always been very good, and formulated a lot of policies to benefit the people, he is more famous in the hearts of the people than me, the history of Jiaozhou, to tell the truth, even the last general is a little jealous, but when he really died of illness, The last general just felt that he had lost a good helper, a good friend, and there was unspeakable sadness in his heart. ”

"What? Another one died? This, hehe, I really didn't expect that the three top politicians in Jiangdong were all dead, is this my misfortune, or the misfortune of the people of Jiangdong? Liu He couldn't help but sneer secretly when he heard this, he thought that this Gu Yong should be the same as Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong before, by faking his death to show his uncooperative attitude.

However, I didn't expect the system to remind me in time: "Report to the host, this Gu Yong is really dead, Zhou Tai is not lying, because the system can no longer sense any of his breath, and three days ago, this person was still active here." ”

"Since it was said by the great system, then there must be nothing wrong, I really didn't expect this Gu Yong to really die, alas, it's a pity, but do you mean that Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are still alive now?" Liu He suddenly remembered this and said to the system.

I saw the system say: "That's right, Jiangdong Erzhang's breath still exists, which proves that they are indeed alive, but if they want to position the system, I'm afraid it is still difficult to achieve." ”

"Humph! I didn't tell you to find it, but I told me these things. Liu He did want to ask the system to help find the second one, but when he heard the system say this, he could only give up.

Now that Gu Yong is dead, Liu He can only find a way to try his best to recruit Zhou Tai, if even Zhou Tai does not surrender, then his trip to Jiaozhou will really be a success, and he will return in defeat.

At this time, Liu He looked at Zhou Tai with burning eyes, and said to him: "General Youping, I know the relationship between you and Wu Hou, but you should also know the general trend of today, the reason why Wu Hou surrendered without a fight is not that he can't resist, but that it is useless to resist, and it is useless to resist, and he has brought the disaster of war to the people in vain, although he killed his brother, but there is still benevolence and righteousness in his chest, which makes me admire, and at this point, we are also heroes who see each other in the same ......"

"What hangs on Duke Qin's waist is the ancient ingot knife that Wu Hou used to match?" Zhou Tai didn't listen to Liu He's words, and directly interrupted.

Liu He was stunned, then took off the ancient ingot knife on his waist and handed it to Zhou Taidao: "Exactly, this is a gift from Wu Hou and asked me to pass it on to the general." ”

Zhou Tai took the ancient ingot knife, stroked it lightly for a moment, and finally returned it to Liu He, Zhengse said: "Tai has heard that this is the emperor's knife, and Tai doesn't want to be an emperor." What's the use of this knife? That's it, since Wu Hou turned to increase the saber, the meaning is already obvious, that is, he wants me to surrender, and in this case, Tai will hand over this life to Duke Qin in the future. ”
