The generals were shocked when they heard their generals announce the surrender of the Shu army, in their eyes, it was almost impossible for their generals to surrender, even if the situation had been eroded to the point of being like this, with the relationship between the Xiahou clan and the Cao clan, it was impossible for them to betray the behavior.

However, the general now announced his surrender. As soon as this decision came out, all the generals reacted, and some secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with the current situation, if you don't surrender, you will die for life, and if you surrender, at least your life will be saved, and maybe if you are lucky, you can continue to be an official.

Some people are not angry in their hearts, they would rather die in battle than be generals, after all, there are still many loyal people with backbone in this world. There are also people who are confused and overwhelmed. There were people who reacted in all sorts of ways, and for a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and there was a buzzing noise.

This situation did not last long before it was interrupted because the opposition came out to raise objections. These oppositionists are, of course, loyal people with backbone. Not only did they not want to surrender, but they also advised their generals not to. This is all expected, otherwise the two Xiahou generals would not have had to ambush those sword and axe hands.

However, it is not appropriate to dispatch swords and axes at this time, and it is necessary to do more ideological work and strive to win over some people who are not so strong-willed. Of course, this process does not require the general to charge into battle himself, and there are those who surrender to act as pawns and come out to confront the loyal faction.

In the end, as expected, another group of people chose to surrender, among these people, there are not strong minds of the wall-riding faction, and some are actually just loyal to their own generals and are willing to follow the generals. In the end, a small number of the two Xiahou generals' subordinates chose not to surrender.

The fate of these generals who did not surrender was different, Xiahou was still more affectionate, and those generals who refused to surrender with him were all let go. Of course, a soldier can not be taken away, no matter how crazy he is, he knows that a soldier is a resource, it is capital, every time he brings an extra soldier to Shu Kingdom, he will have one more credit, and he will have one more peace of mind in the future.

And Xiahou Ba is different, unlike Xiahou Shang who ambushed the knife and axe hand just to prevent it, the knife and axe hand he ambushed was not a vegetarian. After everyone had made their final choice, he immediately sent a secret signal for the axemen to come out and arrest those who refused to surrender.

This change frightened the other generals into a cold sweat~ Shui was secretly glad that he had made the right choice. Xiahou Ba also knew that every additional soldier would give him more credit, and he also knew that these generals who refused to surrender were also credits, which could be used as one of the votes for the new imperial court.

After the two generals arranged everything, they immediately led their men and horses to the gate of the city where they were stationed, and opened the city to surrender to the enemy. Fortunately, the two had a division of labor and were stationed at different city gates, so the two groups of people went in different directions, otherwise they might have a fight on the road.

The next thing was much easier, the two Xiahou generals found a rope and tied themselves to the Shu camp, of course, just loosely symbolically wrapped a few loops of rope around their bodies, which was to make a gesture and show sincere surrender.

Among them, Xiahouba's performance was relatively in place, he didn't know where to find a few thorns, and he was shirtless behind his back, imitating Na Lian Po to play a drama of guilt.

Since the two Xiahou generals are so good, Zhang Fei and Pang Tong naturally cooperate with them and play a good show of knowing heroes and valuing heroes. They treated the two Xiahou generals with great courtesy, personally untied them, gave them seats, comforted them with kind words, and entertained them.

It's just that the two Xiahou generals met in Shuying, and they both felt a little embarrassed, they didn't expect everyone to meet on such an occasion. Then the Shu army entered the city to take over the city defense, but the process was not so simple.

If only one Xiahou general surrenders, with Pang Tong's cautious character, he may not dare to believe it all, and he may not dare to send heavy troops into the city immediately, of course, Zhang Fei has no taboos.

Because there is a possibility here, that is, the two Xiahou generals discussed and used one person as bait to lure the Shu army into the city, so that a Xiahou general could make a trap in the city, ambush the soldiers and horses, and annihilate all the Shu troops who entered the city.

Although few people will be so ruthless and willing to use themselves as bait, but there are many wise men in ancient times, few does not mean that there are none, killing people and sacrificing their lives for righteousness are not uncommon in the land of China, for the sake of prudence, this trick still has to be guarded against.

If that were the case, Pang Tong would have let a group of vanguards enter the city first, and then the army would enter after making sure that there was no danger. However, now that the two Xiahou generals surrendered at the same time, it would be different, if this was really a game, then the cost of the enemy army would be too great.

However, even so, Pang Tong did not dare to be completely reassured, and he asked the two Xiahou generals to issue their respective military orders, transfer their soldiers and horses out of the city in batches, and surrender at the designated place outside the city.

In this way, the Wei soldiers who went out of the city lost the protection of the thick walls of the high city, and they lost the advantage of troops when they went out of the city in batches, and the Shu army could calmly receive these surrendered troops. It's just that this process is more time-consuming, but the time cost is still very worthwhile compared to security.

Because of this, when Liu Hou led the Hong army to the city of Xuchang, the Shu army had just received all the Wei prisoners and easily entered the city to accept the city defense.

After listening to Zhang Fei and Pang Tong's narration, Liu Hou felt that Longyan was happy, this kind of situation where there is no need to fight, and both sides do not need to die to occupy the city is the most ideal state, and the so-called army that surrenders without a fight is the best policy, which refers to this situation.

This kind of result is all the credit of Pang Tong, he once again felt the great value of top strategists like Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi, they are definitely not people who can only play tricks and talk rhetoric, sometimes a seemingly inconspicuous strategy has an effect of more than thousands of troops.

Liu Hou, who was in the joy of Longyan, naturally wanted to reward him aggressively, and he ordered to reward the three armies and reward the meritorious ministers. Since Pang Tong is already a very popular minister, and he also has a title, he doesn't know what to seal if he wants to be rewarded, but fortunately, he also has a son named Pang Hong. In ancient times, there was a shadow system, that is, Lao Tzu became a big official and made great contributions, and he could shadow his son and also come out to be a small official.

As a result, Liu Hou sealed Pang Tong's son as a Zhonglang general. General Zhonglang is the official who leads the emperor's guards and belongs to Guangluxun. However, during the Three Kingdoms period, this title, like the names of those miscellaneous generals, had been overused, and it was just a fictitious title.

Moreover, the military system of the Hong Army no longer uses the Han Dynasty, but uses the "three-three system" of the army in later generations, using the naming rules of platoon, company, battalion, brigade, division, and army.

Pang Tong also knew this situation, and in order for his son to be more productive in the future, he had to be cheeky and ask the emperor to let his son join the army and fight for the emperor. Liu Hou naturally agreed, and transferred his son to the pro-guard army and served as a battalion commander.
