"General!" Captain Chen Yao ran over quickly and whispered to Liu Feng: "It's not good over there in Beicheng, someone wants to open the city to surrender, but they have been stopped, but some soldiers have begun to flee." ”

Liu Feng's heart sank, this is also what he is most worried about, the militia soldiers have never seen a war at all, and the army's heart is not stable, once the danger comes, they are unwilling to sell their lives anymore, once the tide is formed, the army will collapse without a fight.

At this time, Chen Yao glanced at the huge warship in the distance, and said: "General, let me say something unpleasant, we can't hold Panyu City at all, now the Han army has not attacked, the army is in chaos, once the Han army attacks, it can easily break through the defense, you should also know." ”

Chen Yao is Chen Zhi's younger brother, although he is not as famous and martial arts as his brother, but he is also a general in the Jiaozhou army, his opinion Liu Feng will not ignore it, Liu Feng sighed, "I also know that I can't defend the city, but what should I do?" Mi Fang surrendered, do you want me to surrender too? ”

Chen Yao said in a low voice: "I mean, the general persuaded the lord to ask him to surrender!" ”

Liu Feng's face changed, and he waved his hand again and again, "I'm not going, I can't say this kind of thing, I said that I would be hacked to death by him." ”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and Liu Feng suddenly said angrily: "What happened? ”

"General Qiyu, the Han army shot up a letter."

"Where is the letter, quickly bring it to me!"

Not long after, a soldier presented a letter to Liu Feng, Liu Feng took the letter, only to see that the letter jacket read, 'Han Wang Jing to His Excellency Liu Huangshu, the general of the left', Liu Feng suddenly jumped up in shock, and scolded the soldier: "Why did you bring such an important letter now?" ”

Chen Yao hurriedly persuaded: "The soldiers are illiterate, so the general should go and present it to the imperial uncle!"

Liu Feng was anxious, ran down the city wall, turned over and ran towards the Yue Palace, in the lobby of the Yue Palace, Wang Lei, Huang Quan, Chen Zhen, Li Hui, Ma Tan and other civil officials were gathering together to discuss countermeasures, at this time they quarreled and blamed Wang Lei for his improper construction.

"The army in the city is insufficient, you also built a water army to attack, now Mi Fang has surrendered, the elite in the city has been lost, the city is about to be broken, Wang Shizhong, this is your responsibility!"

Wang Lei said loudly: "The enemy army has killed tens of thousands of people, and three thousand more people can keep Panyu City?" It's just a joke, Mi Fang's surrender is his own fear of death, what does it have to do with me? ”

Liu Feng shook his head lightly, now that the matter is over, they are still looking for responsibility, what's the point! He entered the harem through the small door next to him, and said to a guard at the foot of the steps of the inner hall: "Please report to the lord, just say that I have an emergency to report." ”

"Please wait, General!"

The guards went in to report it, and came out after a moment and said, "Uncle Huang, please let the general in." ”

Liu Feng walked into the inner hall quickly, only to see his father Liu Bei sitting alone on the table, looking out of the roof in a daze, Liu Feng hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Child Liu Feng to meet my father!" ”

"Feng'er, what's the emergency?"

Liu Feng is Liu Bei's righteous son, although he is commensurate with father and son, but Liu Bei does not value him, and even in Liu Bei's eyes, he is not as good as Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, but because of face, Liu Bei reluctantly used him to defend the city, the fundamental reason is that Liu Feng did not hold Wucheng back then, and Liu Bei's plan to enter Shu failed, so that Liu Bei is still angry with him.

Liu Feng also knew this, so Chen Yao persuaded him to persuade his father to surrender, but he didn't dare to go, Liu Feng took out Liu Jing's handwritten letter and presented it to Liu Bei, "Father, this is a letter shot from outside the city, it is a handwritten letter from Liu Jing, the king of Han, to his father." ”

Liu Bei was in good spirits, and hurriedly took the letter, and opened the letter a little impatiently, only to see that the letter began with the words, 'After many years of absence, how is my uncle's health?' Last month, my nephew listened to Sima Zhongda talk about his uncle, who had always been unable to adapt to the heat of South Vietnam, riddled with diseases, and his health deteriorated.

Liu Jing wrote very politely, just like a distant nephew wrote a letter to his uncle, the tone was also very sincere, without the slightest hint of ridicule, and praised Liu Bei's benevolence and love for the people in the letter, 'Today's thinking is decided, Jiuding's return to the Han Dynasty is imminent, and the uncle is the imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty, and the nephew should be remembered by the people's livelihood in Jiaozhou, and the heart of mercy should be taken from Jiaozhou to the Han family, and the nephew should be treated with the courtesy of the imperial uncle, and treated with the favor of the Duke of the country, so that the post of Taiwei will be the uncle, and the uncle will be remembered by the people's livelihood in Jiaozhou, and return to the Han family as soon as possible, and the nephew will be waiting."

This is a euphemistic letter of persuasion, although there is no threatening tone in the letter, but it is also very clear that once the war starts, it will be ruined, and the people of Jiaozhou will be in trouble.

Liu Bei sighed for a while, and asked Liu Fengdao again: "Feng'er may hold Panyu?" ”

Liu Feng wept and said: "The child led the weak brigade of 5,000 militias to resist the army of tigers and wolves, if the city cannot be protected, the child is willing to die on the battlefield and repay his father's kindness." ”

"Don't say such things, I just ask you, how long can the city be held?"

"Back to my father, the army's heart has been shaken, the defenders of the northern city are trying to open the city and surrender, as long as the Han army attacks the city, the city will fall immediately, and it will not be able to hold it for a moment."

Liu Bei stood up and walked slowly towards the outer hall with his hands in his hands, and in the outer hall, everyone was still arguing about countermeasures, and when they saw the lord coming out, they all got out of the way and stopped arguing.

Liu Bei sat down and wept and said to everyone: "You originally had hope for Liu Bei and were willing to conspire with Liu Bei for the future, but Liu Bei's rotten wood could no longer be carved, which disappointed everyone." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Huang Quan hurriedly said: "Why did the lord say this? ”

Liu Bei waved his hand, "Now that the army is pressing, Panyu is no longer guaranteed, I am ready to surrender to the Han army, with the leniency of the Han King, I will definitely treat you well, I also wish you a bright future, prepare here to make amends to everyone first." ”

Liu Bei knelt down and bowed deeply to everyone, so frightened that everyone knelt down to return the salute, Wang Lei wept and said: "General Guan should know that Panyu is in danger, and the military division may have rushed outside the city, why doesn't the lord hold out for two days?" ”

At this moment, Chen Yao rushed in and shouted: "Uncle Huang, the big thing is not good, the defenders of Beicheng have opened the city and surrendered!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Huang Quan asked again, "Can the Han army enter the city?" ”

"The Han army only took control of the city gate, but the army did not enter the city."

Liu Bei understood what the Han army meant, this was waiting for his reply, speaking of which, Liu Jing was also benevolent and righteous, he let out a long sigh, "Don't say anything more, pass on my order, and the whole army will surrender!" ”

The city gate has been broken, which means that Panyu City has fallen, outside the north city, the wide pontoon bridge has been built, a team of Jiaozhou soldiers put down their weapons, walked out of the city gate, was led by the Han soldiers to assemble outside the north city, 5,000 soldiers soon all went out of the city, and the whole Panyu City was no longer guarded by a soldier.

Gan Ning and Lu Xun led 5,000 armored Han troops to stand on the pontoon bridge, patiently waiting for Liu Bei's final surrender, Lu Xun considered that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both leading the army, and the king of Han had an order to try to preserve the young and strong population of Jiaozhou, so the best outcome was Liu Bei's surrender.

As long as Liu Bei is willing to surrender, then neither Guan Yu nor Zhang Fei, nor Zhuge Liang will naturally resist anymore, and will follow Liu Bei to surrender, and Jiaozhou will be recovered safely.

At this time, more than a dozen civil officials came out, led by Chen Zhen in Zhizhong, who held the golden seal of Jiaozhou Mu in his arms, stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Uncle Huang is too old to surrender in person, so I specially ask Chen Zhen to hand over the seal of Jiaozhou, from now on, Jiaozhou belongs to the Han State." ”

After speaking, Chen Zhen raised the golden seal above his head, Lu Xun knew that Liu Bei couldn't let go of this face, he hurriedly took the golden seal, and helped Chen Zhen up, and said with a smile: "Jiaozhou and Han are both the domain of the Han Dynasty, and now they are reunited, this is a good thing, the King of Han has an order, he and the imperial uncle have an uncle and nephew friendship, and we want us to treat the imperial uncle well, please return to the imperial uncle, he can recuperate with peace of mind, and the Han army will never disturb the people." ”

After speaking, he took another gold seal and handed it to Chen Zhendao: "This is the seal of the Imperial Captain of the Han Kingdom, please transfer it to Uncle Huang." ”

Chen Zhen secretly praised Liu Jing for being thoughtful and giving the emperor's uncle enough face, so that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's army was easily solved, he took the golden seal and returned to Panyu City, Lu Xun gave Gan Ning a look, and Gan Ning immediately ordered: "The army enters the city!" ”

The mighty Han army marched into Panyu City, and Panyu City fell, and Liu Bei's forces that had seized Jiaozhou also perished

Liu Bei surrendered to the Han army, he also accepted the title given to him by Liu Jing, as the captain of the Han State, and Jia Xu's position of Taifu, Liu Bei immediately repaired three letters, and ordered people to send them to Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei respectively, in the letter he indicated that he had accepted Liu Jing as the lord of the Han family, and no longer competed with him for the world, he hoped that Jiaozhou would not suffer again, and implored them to lay down their arms and follow themselves to do their best for the revival of the Han Dynasty.

For Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they followed Liu Bei all their lives, they had no other choice, but their feelings were different, when Liu Bei announced the surrender of the Han army to Guangxin, Guan Yu was saddened, ordered the army to be disbanded, and those who were willing to surrender to the Han army were not blocked, he only took Guan Ping and Zhou Cang to return to Panyu, and still followed Liu Bei.

And Zhang Fei cried loudly, excited, once wanted to draw his sword to kill himself, thanks to Zhang Bao and Guan Xing both hugged his arm, after some bitter crying, Zhang Fei ordered his army to surrender to the Han army, he also took Zhang Bao and Guan Xing back to Panyu City, ready to follow his brother to Chang'an.

And Zhuge Liang was on the way back to Nanhai County to get the news of the fall of Panyu and Liu Bei's surrender to the Han army, he was not surprised, but he was deeply stunned, he had thought that the Han army would come from the sea, but he also hesitated, did not persuade Liu Bei, and finally his worries came true, the Han army killed from the sea, and broke through the weakly defended Panyu City in one fell swoop, so that the defense of Jiaozhou fell short.

Zhuge Liang returned to Panyu with a heavy heart, in the Gaoyao County Post House that was about to enter Nanhai County, Zhuge Liang couldn't sleep all night, from the thirteenth year of Jian'an he was loyal to Liu Bei, and a full decade has passed, he was bent on helping Liu Bei to the throne and reviving the Han family, but ten years of hard work, he finally failed, his loyal lord surrendered to the Han State, so where should he Zhuge Liang go?

Zhuge Liang stayed awake all night, and when the morning was about to dawn, one of his entourages reported outside the door: "Qiqi military division, someone outside asks to see!" ”
