Xu Sheng has followed Liu Bei for many years, he has been down-and-out and brilliant, but Liu Bei has never done anything sorry for Xu Sheng, and Xu Sheng has a deep affection for Liu Bei.

It's just that the envoy he sent to Nanhai County never returned, which made Xu Sheng have a bad premonition in his heart, and he must have had an accident with Liu Bei and the envoy, otherwise with the lord's feelings for him, he would definitely come to the rescue of them.

The important thing is that so many people here have begun to run out of food, and many of the infirm and old people have been dying one after another, and if they do not find a way out as soon as possible, these people will also riot.

What he hated the most in his heart was Dong Zhuo, they finally got a place to settle down, and they were occupied by Dong Zhuo; If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's troops pressing the border, they wouldn't have had to lead the people to leave.

Poor lord Liu Bei has great ambitions, but there is no place to show it.

Regardless of whether Liu Bei abandoned him or not, the top priority now is to find a way out, and surrendering Jiangdong may be the best option.

So he immediately sent the military Sima Liu Yong, Yang Huai and Juncheng Liu Xianxun to discuss countermeasures.

Everyone was very disgusted by Liu Bei's behavior of fleeing by himself and abandoning the people, but it was not good to tell Xu Shengming that they also knew that surrendering Yangzhou Jiangdong was the only choice.

Xu Sheng learned of everyone's attitude, and immediately sent scouts back to Chenxian to investigate the situation, if Dong Zhuo had not yet occupied, he would send troops to garrison, the larger the area of territory occupied, the higher their use value, otherwise, even if they surrendered, they would not be welcomed.

and immediately consult with the messenger about surrender.

The envoy's reply was that all the officers and others could choose to continue to serve in the army, or they could choose civilian positions, and the decision would be based on merit and would not bury your future; Those soldiers will also choose the best ones to join the army, and the rest will be placed as people, exempted from taxes and forced labor for three years.

Xu Sheng and the others were very impressed by the conditions in Jiangdong, they could not care about their own power and status, and these people who followed them must be settled.

Yang Hong was overjoyed when he received the news, and immediately began to arrange for the takeover of the southern counties of Guiyang County, appointing county-level officials such as county commanders and county lieutenants, resettling the people, and selecting soldiers; At the same time, write a letter to report to Qin Guan.

Those people are the happiest, they have long wanted to take refuge in Jiangdong, but their strength is weak and they can't reach Jiangdong's territory, and this time it just meets their wishes.

Qin Guan was very disappointed that Liu Bei was let go, this Liu Bei was really cunning, no wonder the lord attached so much importance to it, but Qin Guan was still very happy to occupy so much territory, so he replied and ordered Xu Sheng to come to Dantu, so that it would be reused; Several counties of Guiyang County and Yang Hong set up several new counties, which were merged into Qujiang County, stationed in Qujiang County, Yang Hong concurrently served as Taishou, Zhonglang General Ji Ling concurrently served as the governor, and Liu Xian was the county governor of Qujiang County; Liu Yong and Yang Huai were military commanders and were under the jurisdiction of Ji Ling.

Zhonglang will Dong Xi garrison Nanchang City, Yuzhang County.

The military Sima Pan Zhang was promoted to the Sima of other departments, and the army was expanded into three divisions, and the military Sima Ma Zhong was under his control, and was stationed and expanded in Chaisang.

Liu Ye felt distressed that Liu Bei was defeated so quickly, it seems that the luck of the big man has run out, God doesn't bless the big man, what can I do?

Xu Sheng was reluctant to leave Qujiang, otherwise he would never have the opportunity to see his lord Liu Bei again in this life, but under the eaves, he had to obey orders and had to go to Dantu.

When the news of Xu Sheng's surrender reached Nanhai County, Liu Bei learned that he was so angry that he vomited several liters of blood and fell seriously ill, calling out the injustice of heaven.

Sun Quan and others were also afraid, afraid that Yang Hong and Ji Ling would take advantage of the situation to go south, until the news came, the Jiangdong officers and soldiers did not move, they were a little relieved, fortunately signed a peace agreement with Jiangdong, Xu Sheng's army was really vulnerable, fortunately did not listen to Liu Bei's words and attacked the Jiangdong officers and soldiers in the north and south with Xu Sheng.

Later, when he learned that Yang Hong was the Taishou of Qujiang County and Ji Ling was the county governor, Sun Quan hurriedly sent people with generous gifts to congratulate him, hoping to maintain friendly relations.

Yang Hong and Ji Ling are still haunted by the rebellion of the Sun family in their hearts, enthusiastic on the surface and disgusted in their hearts; If it weren't for the rebellion of the Sun family, Yuan Shu would not have fallen so quickly, how could they let the Sun family have a chance to rise? There is no attack for the time being, but the time has not yet come, and they must first stabilize the interior of Qujiang County.

Xu Sheng arrived at Dantu, and Qin Guan personally set up a banquet to entertain him.

Qin Guan asked, "Is Wen Xiang angry with us for blocking your meeting with General Liu?" ”

Xu Sheng explained: "Envoy, Sheng has no complaints, but he doesn't understand, Liu Envoyjun is thinking about the people and the court, why do you object?" ”

Qin Guan did not answer directly, but said: "The princes only bring the scourge of war to the people, and the powerful princes will say, save the court, save the emperor, for the people of the world; The weak princes will say, "Protect the land and the people, for the people; And who really thinks about the people? The people had no choice but to endure the ravages of war; The war brought about the destruction of production, brought a large number of deaths, not only the direct casualties caused by fighting each other on the battlefield, but also the death of more people because of lack of food and clothing; I hate war, but I have to rely on war to stop it, what a contradiction. ”

It was the first time Liu Ye heard Qin Guan say something from his heart, and he couldn't help but be moved.

Xu Sheng understood Qin Guan's words speciously, so he asked rhetorically: "Qin envoy, what about the imperial court?" What about Your Majesty? ”

Qin Guan sneered: "Is Liu Yuanjun for the imperial court?" For Your Majesty? How many casualties did he cause when he betrayed the history of Xuzhou Tao Thorn? How many casualties did this uprising cause? Everyone has parents and wives, and when they die, what will happen to their loved ones? Have you thought about it? If it weren't for your betrayal and rebellion, they would all be alive and well, have you ever felt guilty? ”

Xu Sheng didn't understand and was very angry, if it wasn't for Jiangdong to intercept him, he would definitely go south to join Liu Bei.

Qin Guan said: "Wen Xiang has been away from home for many years, so let's go home first to see my parents and relatives." ”

Xu Sheng said angrily: "Sheng is a country with his body, why is he a family?" In troubled times, don't tell about children's love. He thought that Qin Guan wanted to send him back to Xuzhou, so that he would not have the opportunity to see his lord Liu Bei again.

Qin Guan was very angry and said angrily: "If there is no home, how can there be a country? It is because you have this kind of selfish thinking that you only think about your own ambition and hegemony, and never put the people in your heart, so that the world is in chaos and the people are not happy. ”

Xu Sheng was angry and didn't speak.

Seeing Xu Sheng's attitude, Qin Guan let him stay in Dantu.

Two months later, Dong Xi sent a group of people, all of whom were ragged and looked like beggars, and when the soldiers explained, Qin Guan learned that these people were the missing Liu Pan, Liu Du and others.

Qin Guan was shocked and immediately arranged for someone to bathe and change clothes for them, and set up a banquet to entertain them.

Qin Guan's attitude made them feel safe, and they finally spoke; Liu Du first scolded: "Liu Bei, a child who does not eat blood, took my army, fled without permission, abandoned us and hundreds of thousands of people, greedy for life and afraid of death, and could not die well." ”

Xu Sheng was furious and retorted: "Liu Yuanjun, loyal and loyal to the king, kind to the people of the world, dare to fight against the traitor Dong Zhuo, how can you be greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

Liu Du was furious and wanted to make a move with Xu Sheng.

Qin Guan hurriedly grabbed him and asked him to explain the matter in detail.

Liu Bei co-opted their army, chose the elite to take them away, and left them and hundreds of thousands of people in Lingling County, while Liu Bei was defeated by the Jiaozhou soldiers and fled to Jiangdong in embarrassment; They had no choice, the people and the army led by the county and the army to surrender to Jiaozhou, and their family was unwilling to surrender to Jiaozhou, so they chose the mountain path, hoping to return to their hometown, the mountains lacked food and clothing, and after arriving in Yuzhang County, they contacted the government to seek funding.

Dong Xi didn't dare to make decisions on his own, so he sent someone to send them to Dantu; Because they didn't know Jiangdong's attitude, they didn't dare to say much.

Seeing their clothes just now, everyone imagined their words, and Liu Jingsheng promised the country with his body and insisted on fighting Dong Zhuo for so many years, who could doubt his heirs?

Xu Sheng was silent, but during this time, he found that the people of Jiangdong were indeed different from the people in other places he had seen, and coupled with Liu Pan's hostility towards him, he decided to cross the river and go north for the time being, go home to see his parents in his hometown, and see if the people under the rule of Champion Hou were as happy as the people of Jiangdong.

In order to let him go home, Qin Guan appointed Xu Sheng as the Zhonglang general, and privately gave him a hundred gold, and sent someone to escort him back to Xuzhou.

Liu Pan's family rested in Dantu for a month, and Qin Guan gave them a gift and sent a boat to send them north.
