Guan Hai Mengtan's army entered Wuling County and took over Wuling in full. Guan Hai reported the battle in Wuling to Liu Zeyu, and Liu Ze quickly issued an appointment, with Gong Zhilai serving as the Taishou of Wuling County, and the county administration was moved from Linyuan to Hanshou.

When Zhao Fan was killed in southern Hunan and Jin Xuan was defeated in Yiyang, Liu Du's marching speed increased greatly, faster than a rabbit, the difference was that he did not march in the direction of Changsha but quickly fled back to Lingling County.

When Yu Shi Fang Yue led his troops to Liandao, Liu Du had already heard the wind and fled, so Yu Shi and Fang Yue immediately ordered their troops and horses and pursued them in the direction of Lingling.

In order to get rid of the pursuit of the Jing army, Liu Du specially ordered Xing Daorong to lead a group of men and horses to break off, Xing Daorong fought hard, and finally lost the enemy and was beheaded by Fang Yue, but Xing Daorong's resistance still brought some trouble to Yu Shi Fang Yue, and Liu Du took the opportunity to escape back to Lingling.

Lingling is located in Xiangxi, the mountains are undulating, the terrain is dangerous, Lingling County is a dangerous city, after Liu Du fled back to Lingling, he held on to the city and refused to fight, the troops led by Yu Shifang Yue were mainly cavalry, lacking large-scale siege equipment, and there was nothing to be done in the face of Lingling City, so he had to ask Liu Ze for reinforcements.

Liu Du's son Liu Xian said to Liu Du: "King Jing Liu Ze's soldiers are powerful, Huainan Yuan Shu, Jingzhou Liu Biao, these are all one side of the wait, all of them are broken by Liu Ze, Han Xuan does not follow the sky, vainly trying to compete with the four counties of Jingnan with the land of the projectile, which is tantamount to a mantis arm blocking the car and killing himself." Now Guiyang and Wuling counties are dead. Changsha was besieged, and the city was broken only overnight, did my father think that only one county of Lingling could compete with King Jing's 100,000 male soldiers? ”

Liu Du is also worried, Lingling soldiers are outnumbered, how can they resist King Jing's wolf-like army, Wuling and Guiyang counties have been lost, Changsha Han Xuan's lonely palm is difficult to speak, and I am afraid that it will not last long, Lingling is the weakest of the four counties in Jingnan. The other three counties are finished. The fate of Lingling County will definitely not be any better.

"It's impossible to be a father and a governor, but today's situation is also difficult to ride a tiger, so what's the matter?"

Liu Xian said: "Now Liu Jun is besieging the city on a large scale. Once the city of Lingling is broken. My Liu family is full of people. Why don't you raise the city and surrender it now, or you may be able to keep my family safe? Now that the catastrophe is just around the corner, my father must not hesitate......"

Liu Du thought twice. Finally nodded in agreement, and ordered Liu Xian to secretly go to Liu Ze's camp in Changsha from the trail to hand over the surrender letter and table.

When Liu Xian saw Liu Ze, he bowed and handed over the letter of surrender.

Liu Ze blamed Liu Du for why he only surrendered at this time, but Liu Xian said calmly: "My father saw that he didn't know what was going on, and he was bewitched by Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha, and offended His Royal Highness King Jing, which was really not his intention, and now he is willing to lead the Lingling army and people to surrender, so that the people of Lingling can avoid the scourge of swords and soldiers. ”

Liu Ze saw that although Liu Xian was young, he was articulate and smart and generous, nodded secretly, and accepted Liu Du's surrender. As for Liu Xian, he was transferred to Xuzhou and served as Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites Langzhong is the official of the four grades, which is equivalent to the official of the original Han system of 2,000 stones, Liu Xian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he received this position, and kowtowed to thank him.

As a result, the three counties of Guiyang, Wuling, and Lingling were all pacified in just a few months, and among the four counties of Jingnan, only Changsha County was left to govern Linxiang, an isolated city.

The news of the defeat of the three counties reached Changsha, and Han Xuan was in a panic, with the current remnants of Changsha and the weak army, it was only a matter of time before the city was broken. Although Cao Cao sent several urgent letters to Xu Du, they were all like mud cows into the sea, and there was no news, and Han Xuan couldn't help but be completely desperate.

I knew today, why bother at the beginning, if it wasn't for the insistence on fighting against Liu Ze, Han Xuan would not have been able to fall into this step, after Lingling Taishou Liu Du surrendered, although he was relieved of his military power, but the position of the two thousand stone Taishou was still preserved. This made Han Xuan's mind also lively, Liu Du's surrender still has an official to do, if he didn't wait for Changsha City to take the initiative to surrender, would he also be able to seek a good result.

Han Xuan came to Huang Ling to discuss, and when Huang Ling heard that Han Xuan had the intention of surrendering the city, his face changed suddenly, and he said hurriedly: "It is impossible to be too guarded, Xia Guan has heard that Liu Ze's consistent policy is that the first evil must be punished, and he never asks, it is you who advocate the joint confrontation of the four counties, and it is you who has fought several decisive battles with Liu Ze, and now you are poor and surrendered, I am afraid that Liu Ze will not let you go lightly." Although Liu Du is also a county guard, he has always been low-key, and he has not had a head-on conflict with Liu Ze, so he can keep the position of Lingling Taishou. But who can guarantee that this is not a trick played by Liu Ze to appease the people of Jingnan? Although Liu Du is still too guarded, he has lost all his military power, and he is the same puppet, and his son Liu Xian was taken hostage, and the right to life and death is all in Liu Ze. Changsha is the last place of the four counties of Jingnan, and Han Taishou led the city to surrender, but he was afraid that the end would be much more tragic. ”

Huang Ling is a small abacus, now Huang Zhong has taken refuge in Liu Ze, and has been entrusted with a heavy task, with Huang Zhong's character, the revenge of killing his wife and children must be avenged, Han Xuan's surrender is meritorious, if Liu Ze comes forward, Huang Zhong will not dare to take Han Xuan, but he Huang Ling is in a humble position, Liu Ze will not be able to protect him at all, and if he falls into the hands of Huang Zhong, he will really die without a corpse. Therefore, Huang Ling strongly persuaded Han Xuan not to surrender.

Han Xuan thought about it and thought that what Huang Ling said was reasonable, so he gave up the idea of surrendering, but he couldn't help but sigh for a long time about the bleak future. "Hey, you can't fight, you can't fall, how can this be good?"

Huang Ling's eyes rolled, and he thought about it, and said: "Thirty-six plans, go is the best plan, since Changsha is a lonely city that cannot be defended, it is better to abandon the city and leave." There are still more than 20,000 troops in the city, and it is not difficult to fight to the death and fight a bloody way. ”

Han Xuan's face was stunned, and he said, "Let's go?" Where else can we go now? It's a pity that the foundation of several years has been ruined in one fell swoop. ”

Huang Ling secretly scolded Han Xuan in his heart for being stupid, his eyebrows were burned, and he was still thinking about his foundation, the tree died, the person moved, as long as he could leave Changsha, he was afraid that he would not find a way to live?

"Although the four counties of Jingnan have been lost, but the south of Jingnan is Jiaozhou, when Cangwu Taishou Wu Ju was in Jingzhou in the past, he and Han Taishou can also be called old friends, today Han Taishou is in trouble and goes to defect, Wu Ju will not miss the old love, right?"

Han Xuan patted his thigh and said, "Yes, when I was in Jingzhou in the past, Wu Ju and I were also called brothers, and Wu Ju is still quite faithful. Okay, pass the order down, and prepare to break out immediately. (To be continued......)
