Jingzhou's diplomacy was very smooth, so Cao Ju adopted Xizhong's strategy and sent people to publicize in Yizhou that Liu Biao of Jingzhou had formed an alliance with Cao Ju, and instead of coming to save Yizhou, he would send troops to assist Cao Ju in attacking.

For a time, Yizhou's military spirit and people's hearts were unstable, and Cao Ju once again proclaimed that he was attacking Yizhou on the order of the Son of Heaven, and only Liu Zhang was killed, and the rest of the people were not guilty as long as they were not enemies of the imperial army.

Foreign aid has been delayed, and Cao Ju's army has been approaching, and the people of Yizhou are panicking.

Liu Zhang finally stopped being calm, and convened his subordinates every day to discuss the martial arts, but at this time, the main surrender faction occupied the majority, and the main battle faction was at a disadvantage.

Of course, this is inseparable from the contributions of Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, and the other is that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Yizhou.

Finally, when Dong He's body was sent back to Yizhou, things finally took a fundamental turn, and the main descendants, instigated by Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others, asked Liu Zhang to ask for his life, so that Liu Zhang would surrender to Cao Ju's court, so as not to let the people of Yizhou suffer from the chaos of war.

The main battle faction is still Zhang Ren, Leng Bao, Deng Xian, Yan Yan and other generals in the army.

However, as soon as the call for the main surrender faction became louder and louder, there were even people who went to the state governor's mansion every day to petition, asking Liu Zhang to be merciful and stop raising troops to resist Cao Ju's army.

Second, the current occupation is that Cao Ju is on the offensive and the Yizhou army is on the defensive, although there is no large-scale battle, but the small friction is still constant, but each time it ends with the defeat of the Yizhou army.

Small friction, no matter how much it fails, will not make the Yizhou army hurt its muscles and bones, but this blow to the morale of the army makes Liu Zhang's heart even more afraid, and his determination to surrender is getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, after ten days of continuous petitions from the people, Liu Zhang made a decision to gather all the officials of the state and pastoral government in the palace to discuss the surrender of Cao Ju.

As for Zhang Ren and others, only Leng Bao, Deng Xian, Yan Yan and others are all leading the army, and only Zhang Ren is the general in Luo County.

As soon as Liu Zhang said his decision to surrender to Cao Ju, Zhang Ren immediately jumped out and shouted loudly: "The lord can't, there are 200,000 troops in Yizhou, and there are natural dangers in hand, so although Cao Ju's army is stronger than our army, but its long-distance combat and supply are difficult, as long as our army can hold on for more than a month, Cao's army will retreat." ”

When Zhang Song heard this, he sneered and said: "General Zhang is brave, we all know it, but if Cao Ju does not retreat after a month, if the people of Yizhou provide military food to Cao Ju, if Luo County is breached, I don't know where General Zhang wants to put the lord?" ”

Although Zhang Ren also led the troops to arrest a few, the other party was tortured in every way, that is, he did not admit that he was Cao Jun's spies, which made Zhang Ren a little helpless.

For Cao Ju's menacing attack this time, Zhang Ren has experienced a hundred battles, and of course he understands that Cao Ju's purpose is to win Yizhou. Just from Cao Ju's statement that Liu Biao in Jingzhou killed Dong He, it can be seen that Cao Ju definitely wants to take Yizhou.

Moreover, what Zhang Ren didn't know was that Dong He's body was not sent by the Jingzhou army, but by Cao Ju's people, and brought Liu Zhang a very exciting condition, that is, he could save the lives of Liu Zhang's family, and give him the identity of a marquis, ensuring that he would be free of food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Zhang Ren was dumbfounded by Zhang Song's words, Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh secretly, and the last trace of resistance was gone.

"Zikan's meaning, I understand it very well, don't say more, and retreat." Liu Zhang waved his hand and sighed, "Don't say more, Zhuqing, Gu has already decided to raise troops and surrender." ”

In an instant, the entire hall was silent, not even Zhang Ren said anything, and the others were even more eager for Liu Zhang to make this decision quickly, and Liu Zhang also heard that many civil and military forces in Yizhou had begun to fornicate with Cao Ju, which was also one of the reasons why he made the decision to surrender.

Looking at the silence in the hall, Liu Zhang felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, clenched his fists, but let go weakly.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Liu Zhang had a very tired feeling, his father Liu Yan had just handed over the foundation to him, and it had only been a long time before he was about to give it to others.

Liu Zhang said lightly: "Today, there are two Han Dynasty, just like Emperor Taizu and Emperor Guangwu in the past, both Han Dynasty are orthodox of our Han Dynasty. Today, Cao Ju crusaded against Yizhou in the name of the Son of Heaven of the Western Han Dynasty, Yu Lizheng, Yu Yishun, and other teachers who could not resist the royal road. ”

As Liu Zhang's gaze swept over, almost everyone stood solemnly, and many people secretly rejoiced, because he boasted in the document of fornicating with Cao Ju to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender. Now, Liu Zhang is really going to surrender, and he can take the credit for himself.

It's just that these guys don't know that the person who boasted to Cao Ju like this is not himself, but there are many people, if they all take the credit on themselves, with Cao Ju's shrewdness, how can they not know what the real situation is.

Only Zhang Ren wanted to say anything more, but looking at the silence in the hall, he suddenly had a very sad feeling, and suddenly had a thought, maybe Cao Ju was the real master.

Liu Zhang, surrendered, this news from Liu Zhang's end of this meeting, as if he had grown wings, faster than the horse sent by Liu Zhang with the envoy with the surrender, actually flew to Cao Ju's military camp one step ahead of the envoy.

"Hahahaha......" The news made Cao Ju excited, to be honest, Ruo County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is abundant grain and grass, and there is Zhang Ren, a famous general, to guard it, Cao Ju wants to take Luo County, and the price he pays will definitely be huge.

After being excited for a while, Cao Ju immediately began to command the generals, preparing to lead the army to Ruoxian to accept Liu Zhang's surrender after Liu Zhang's envoy arrived.

In Ruoxian, Liu Zhang sent people to prepare the big seal, tiger talismans, and books of Yizhou, and prepared to go out of the city to surrender to Cao Ju.

At this time, people reported Zhang Ren to see him.

Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhang Ren came over to persuade him not to surrender, he didn't want to see it, but he thought that he still had to do ideological work for Zhang Ren, otherwise, if this guy went crazy in front of Cao Ju, it would not be good.

Just when Liu Zhang was thinking that if Zhang Ren was disobedient, he would take his military power first, Zhang Ren came in and asked Liu Zhang to retreat.

Liu Zhang frowned slightly, but still according to Zhang Ren's request, he retreated from the left and right screens.

"My lord." After retreating from the left and right, Zhang Yi hugged his fist and said, "Now there is a good opportunity to destroy Cao, and the last general is willing to lead the people who dare to die to lie at the head of the city, once Cao gathers into the city, ten thousand arrows are fired, and he will definitely die, this is a plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle." ”
