Chapter 184: Liu Pan surrenders

The battle on the battlefield was basically over when Liu Pan retreated in embarrassment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Wei Yan was deliberately injured and turned himself into a prisoner, Fu Wei was stabbed and captured by Tai Shi Ci, and Wang Wei was not spared, and also fell into the hands of Tai Shi Ci. The second general Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, who were previously escorted out for exchange, were arrested again and became Han Lie's prisoners.

On the battlefield at the moment, only Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are still fighting each other, although Huang Zhong is slightly inferior, but he is still tightly guarded, obviously if he wants to divide the winner and lose, he will not fight for a hundred rounds, I am afraid it is impossible.

"General Huang Zhong, Liu Pan is already declining, you are so martial arts, why should you be foolish and loyal to this, if you lay down your arms and submit to my lord, it will only be a matter of time before you worship the marquis." Zhao Yun's gentian gun is like a dragon going out to sea, as fast as lightning, and the places it pierces are all layers of gun shadows.

"Hugh has to say more, since ancient times, there have only been generals who died in battle, and there are no generals who begged to surrender before the battle, and today there are only deaths." Huang Zhong looked back left and right, and saw that his own soldiers and horses had been defeated, and the cavalry surrounded on all sides, as well as Han Lie and other generals, surrounded him, but he did not show the slightest timidity.

"Good birds choose trees to perch, General Huang is so ignorant of lifting, then don't blame me for being polite." Zhao Yun frowned slightly, drove the war horse to move quickly, and quickly launched an attack around Huang Zhong's body, the silver-white gentian spear turned into an angry sea roaring for a while, and for a while it was like a cold snake spitting letters, every blow hit the point, and it was sharp and domineering.

Huang Zhong didn't expect that Zhao Yun would still have vitality after fighting with him for a long time, he was taken aback, and swung his knife to slash, only to see a knife flash in front of Huang Zhong, forming a thick sword shield, blocking the shadows of the spears that stabbed him.

"When! While! While! The sound of iron was endless, but the two of them did not relax, wave after wave of gun moves, like flowing water evolved from Zhao Yun's hands, Huang Zhong in order to boost his fighting spirit, he couldn't help but roar and wave the phoenix mouth knife in his hand.

"Eat me!" After Huang Zhong guarded twenty moves, while Zhao Yun was shrinking, his backhand was slashed, and the knife that slashed diagonally in the air was slashed, and if he was slashed, Zhao Yun would be directly cut off from the chest position in front of his neck. Seeing that the sword that fell like a storm and waves was about to fall, Zhao Yun was about to raise his gun to forcibly greet him, but when he saw Huang Zhong's long knife retracted, he slapped the horse and pulled out, and suddenly opened a distance of more than ten steps with Zhao Yun.

"Where to go." Seeing this, Zhao Yun hesitated, and suddenly chased after him.

"Bang!" A bowstring sounded, followed by an arrow shooting head-on, as early as when the bowstring sounded, Zhao Yun was secretly on guard, this will see the oncoming arrow, he quickly dodged, and the horse staggered to dodge.

"Eat me one more arrow." When Huang Zhong pulled out his horse and galloped, he shot three arrows from his backhand, and Zhao Yun on horseback drank the war horse, waved the spear in his hand, and turned into a gentian gun with a gun shadow, and smashed the three arrows that were shot.

"Hugh wants to hurt people with secret arrows, Xu Chu will also come." Seeing this, Xu Chu, who was sweeping the formation, immediately pulled out his horse and drove Huang Zhong directly.

Huang Zhong had a big battle with Xu Chu yesterday, although each other's martial arts are between the two of them, and they are naturally not afraid of fighting alone, but Huang Zhong is now fighting with Zhao Yun for nearly two hundred rendezvous, whether it is the war horse or his own strength, most of his strength has been consumed, if it is Xu Chu who is in the vitality, there is no need to think that Huang Zhong also knows the result.

But this will be unavoidable for him, because Xu Chu is rushing to kill head-on, not to mention, and the speed of the war horse is fast, which is not at all comparable to the exhausted war horse under Huang Zhong's seat.

"Kill!" Since there is no way to live, there is only death. Huang Zhong did not hesitate, the phoenix mouth knife in his hand came up with a rush attack, facing the knife under the cover like a landslide, Xu Chu was also secretly surprised, he came to stop Huang Zhong from being captured, not desperately.

For this reason, Xu Chu chose to retreat for the first time, Xu Chu, who waved a knife, staggered with Huang Zhong, thinking that he had won the bet Huang Zhong, and before he had time to be happy, Xu Chu stabbed out with a backhand, with a cold knife, and pierced the butt of Huang Zhong's war horse with a snort.

Huang Zhong, who fell off the horse, was caught off guard, and when he fell to the ground, he was dizzy for a while, and Zhao Yun, who rushed from the flying horse, took advantage of the situation to raise his gun and slapped it at the back of Huang Zhong's head, directly knocking him unconscious.

"Take it." With an order, Huang Zhong, who had been unconscious, was directly tied up and escorted back to the camp by the sergeant who rushed up.

Huarong County Ya Hall.

Liu Pan, who didn't even take off his armor, stared at Li Yan kneeling in the hall, and roared with anger and murderous anger on his face: "Li Yan, you traitor, what do you have to quibble, General Ben will let you die today." ”

Li Yan, who was oppressed and kneeling on the ground, looked calm and calm, and in the face of Liu Pan's fierce words, he raised his head slightly and looked directly at Liu Pan, and said: "From the perspective of the general, I, Li Yan, am indeed a traitor, but from the position of 30,000 soldiers and nearly 10,000 people in Huarong, I Li Yan have a clear conscience?" General, in order to avenge your personal revenge, you insisted on dragging the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and going to die with you when you knew that you were invincible, is this what the generals did? General Han Lie is His Majesty's personal title, and it is his duty to quell chaos and calm the people, Liu Jingzhou killed himself, this is his dereliction of duty as a courtier, you are a servant, and there is nothing wrong with revenge, but you are wrong not to let tens of thousands of soldiers and people accompany you to take revenge, is this a matter that is beneficial to the country and the people? ”

Liu Pan, who was originally upright, was asked by Li Yan like this, but he was a little speechless, and he was stunned, slumped on the mat, and looked at Li Yan a little blankly. After a while, he sighed, looked at Xi Zhen on the left, and said, "Wenxiang, do you also think I'm wrong?" ”

Since Xi Zhen sent troops with Liu Pan, because Liu Pan is quite modest, they have naturally established a good friendship with each other, but although he has no objection to Liu Pan's tough resistance to Han Lie's army, he is still not optimistic in his heart.

At the beginning, his original intention was to persuade Liu Pan to lead the army back to Wuling County, using Wuling County as a base, waiting for an opportunity to change the situation, but Liu Pan insisted on fighting Han Lie in Huarong, so that Wuling County fell into the hands of Sun Ce, resulting in an embarrassing situation that can only be trapped in Huarong now.

"General, the moon is full and short, the sea rises and falls, Liu Jingzhou rode into Jingzhou alone, with his own strength, pacified Jingzhou, sat on the nine counties of Jingxiang, held 150,000 soldiers, the world dare not underestimate, but he missed the opportunity and trapped Jingzhou, which is why there is today's situation. As Li Zhengfang said, as a son of the clan, it is understandable for you to take revenge, but let tens of thousands of soldiers be buried with you, is this the work of a benevolent? Xi Zhen pondered it and slowly persuaded him.

"Haha, it seems that I do have some whimsical." Liu Pan raised his head and laughed, looked at Wen Ping and said: "Zhongye, pass on my general's order, the three armies will assemble, immediately kill the enemy camp, and I will fight Han Lie to the death." ”

"General, our army is newly defeated and its morale is low, so it is really inappropriate to fight at this time." Facing Liu Pan's stern gaze, Wen Ping hesitated, looked back at Liu Pan, and expressed his thoughts in a deep voice.

"Haha, this is Zhongye's true thoughts, that's it, that's it, the soldiers are willing to die for me because they trust me, I can't let them be buried with me because of their personal enmity." Liu Pan laughed miserably, took out the talisman from his arms and handed it to Wen Ping: "Zhongye, you take the soldier symbol to order the three armies, surrender to Han Lie." ”

"General Liu, the general is known for his benevolence and righteousness, and now the eldest son and the second son are living in Xiangyang safely, and the general promised them a life of glory and wealth, not to mention, but also promised that as long as they are willing to go out, they will be hired. General Liu's talent is rare, must not be discouraged, now the Han family is dying, the chaos in the world has appeared, each as a king, each for its own government, has become the norm, people with lofty ideals, when serving the Ming Lord, sweeping the Liuhe, protecting the world, and returning the people of the world to a stable, for the husband to do. Li Yan saw that Liu Pan had lost his fighting spirit and was disgusted with the world, so he stood up and said generously.

Liu Pan's age is not very old, he is not yet thirty this year, he has been trained in the army since he was a teenager, although he is not very old, but he has been in the army for ten years, which can be said to be a complete veteran.

In his eyes before, as a general, he naturally led the troops, and as for anything else, he never considered it, and Huang Zhong, who had been fighting side by side with him for many years, had been seeking medical treatment for his son all these years, and his heart was not thinking about personnel and the current situation at all, which caused Liu Pan to lack sufficient understanding of the current situation, and it can be said that he was completely a pure martial artist.

In the face of Li Yan's passionate words, although Liu Pan did not feel empowered, it still made a glimmer of brilliance flash in his eyes. But that's all, Liu Pan, who hesitated for a moment, said: "Loosen the tie to the square, there is Lao Ru to tell the general, be kind to my soldiers, be kind to the people of Jingzhou, and be kind to my Liu clan, I will have no regrets, even if I go underground in the future, when facing my uncle, I can calmly face his inquiry." ”

"General Liu understands the righteousness, and the general will not lose his words." Li Yan bowed deeply and sincerely paid tribute to Liu Pan.

"General, the clerk is incompetent, and he really can't take on this important responsibility, please let someone return to the field with you, and live in seclusion in this Huarong from now on." Wen Ping bowed ashamedly and rejected Liu Pan's idea of asking him to lead the troops to surrender.

"Zhongye doesn't have to be like this, you are a general, isn't it a pity to bury it?" Liu Pan waved his hand and smiled miserably, and said, "Let's go out of the city together, I will also pack up, go to the post house for a while, and wait for the general to fall." ”

Wen Ping still has to say, Xi Zhen shook his head, and walked out with Li Yan, Han Xuan and others, and Wen Ping had to turn around and follow him when he saw this.

"General Wen, this is the general trend, not a crime of war, you don't want to be pedantic, the general is the master of the world, it will have a foundation one day, you will definitely not regret today's actions." Li Yan patted Wen Ping's shoulder and said with relief.

"As a general, I can't serve the lord at the top, I can't calm the people at the bottom, and I have the face to see the old people?" Wen Ping smiled bitterly, cheered up, gathered the three armies, and issued the order to surrender in Kaesong.

When nearly 30,000 soldiers heard this order, their morale was weakened, and some even wept, so that the entire camp was enveloped in an atmosphere of sorrow.

But the general trend is like this, even if all the soldiers can't bear to give up their weapons, but under the pressure of military orders and reality, they can't help but not give in.

At the gate of Han Lie's camp, when he saw Han Lie and his party of Jiangdong generals who greeted him at the gate of the camp, Wen Ping, who was ashamed, dismounted, bowed down and saluted: "The general of the defeated army, Wen Ping, led the people to surrender to the general." ”

"General Wen, please get up quickly, you and I are both subordinates of the Han Dynasty, how can you come to worship the general, and how can you talk about surrendering? Originally, they were a family, and they will continue to be brothers, regardless of each other. Han Lie held his hand and shouted, "Soldiers, welcome home." ”

"Home?" Wen Ping didn't expect Han Lie to give such an evaluation of his surrender, and he was stunned and shook Han Lie's hand movingly, and looked at Han Lie in disbelief and asked himself.

"Yes, it's going home, welcome you home, Jingzhou and Yangzhou will be each other's hometown in the future, regardless of each other's brothers who drink the same river water." Han Lie nodded solemnly, holding Wen Ping in one hand and Li Yan's hand in the other, and sang loudly: "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are ...... with your son?"

"How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are ...... with your son" With Han Lie's singing, the officers and soldiers of the three armies responded in unison, and the familiar sound of poetry suddenly brought the hearts of the soldiers closer, and also greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, especially the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou who were still worried, when they looked at the Jiangdong soldiers and gave them white-faced steamed buns, in addition to gratitude, the strange separation between the two sides suddenly became closer again.

After calming the hearts of the army, Han Lie read the letter written by Liu Pan handed over by Li Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Huarong is temporarily taken over by you first, and you must take good care of Liu Pan, and you must not be the slightest neglected, and when I finish dealing with the affairs of the army, I will personally visit him, and as for him to stay and wait for me to see him, he will be free." ”

"Whoa." Li Yan replied in a deep voice.

Han Lie did not move his troops into Huarong, but reorganized Liu Pan's troops on the spot. When he took Xiangyang, Han Lie was brewing to reform the military system, and appointing Xu Huang as the governor of Jingzhou and commanding the Zuowu Guard Army was his first step.

Since this period of time, he has been thinking about the issue of the military system, and at the same time, Guo Jia and Xun You have also participated in it, and after these days of continuous improvement, Han Lie's plan to expand the organization has basically been completed.

Liu Pan's department of 28,400 people, after reorganization, 27,000 people were incorporated, and the 1,400 people who were eliminated wanted to go home, some of them had old injuries, and the remaining 27,000 people were combined with the people of the left battalion under Zhao Yun to form the Right Guard.

The full number of the Right Guards was 50,000, which was the same as the number of Xu Huang's Left Guards. And Han Lie's plan is to establish six major armies in his own territory, and the left and right military guards are only the first step, and then he will integrate the troops of Donglai Zhang Liao, as well as the men and horses of Xuzhou, to establish the Zuowei Guard.

The generals at the level of the unified army are all awarded the post of governor and the title of general, the general is a false title, and the governor has the right to lead the troops into battle. The Red Flame Army, as Han Lie's starting force, will still remain, but will be divided into three military governments.

They are the three major military offices of the Central Protector Military Office, the Central Leader Army, and the Central Supervision Military Office, and the proposed general candidates are Xu Chu as the general of the Central Protector Army, Dian Wei as the general of the Central Guardian Army, and Gao Shun as the general of the Central Supervision Army.

The supreme commander of the Red Flame Army is Han Lie, and the number of the Red Flame Army is temporarily set to 20,000 horses. Similarly, the naval army will also be divided into two major armies, but for the time being, Han Lie has not announced it, these preparations are preliminary plans, and the specific implementation will not be implemented until after the end of the Jingnan Campaign.

So much so that Zhao Yun is now only the rank of general of the Right Guard, and does not have the position of governor of the capital. However, while reorganizing Liu Pan's subordinates, Han Lie also comforted and comforted the captured Liu Pan's generals one by one. After learning of Liu Pan's surrender, Han Lie personally met and visited, Wei Yan, Zhang Nan, Feng Xi, Fu Wei, and Wang Wei successively expressed their allegiance.

Only Huang Zhong did not express his position, but he did not refuse, but put forward a request, that is, to meet Liu Pan in person. (To be continued.) )
