Chapter 866: Zhang Liao surrenders
"Order, the march of the army stopped..fastest update visit: ΡΡΡ.79XS.ΡΠΞ . β
Zhang Liao thought for a moment and gave the first order.
There were enemies in front and behind, and there was no way to advance or retreat, and Zhang Liao did not plan to advance for the time being. When the soldiers under his command stopped advancing, Zhang Liao also sat down and quietly thought about what to do.
It didn't take long for Zhang Liao to have a plan in his heart.
Zhang Liao instructed his soldiers to explore the surrounding terrain and prepare to find another way out. However, when Zhang Liao investigated the surrounding terrain, he was extremely disappointed.
The area around his location is flat, with few deep mountains and old forests, and at most it is a hill or something. As for some of the other rivers, they are not useful at all.
All terrain is not conducive to retreat and hide.
The most disappointing thing for Zhang Liao was that the surrounding trails went around and around, and eventually led to Yingchuan, or later to Wanxian.
In the final analysis, he still has to meet Wei Yan, or Zhao Yun.
Zhang Liao was disappointed when he got such news. Even if he got the news from Xun You, it was difficult to make a reasonable response.
After thinking about it, Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Now that the road in front and behind is blocked and there is no way to evacuate, there is only one choice left." When they meet on a narrow road, only the brave wins, and they can only fight their way out. β
Zhang Liao made up his mind.
Now that it is blocked, it can only be forcibly broken through.
Zhang Liao gathered all the soldiers, stood in front of the soldiers, raised his breath, and said loudly: "Sons, the general has just received the news that our camp in Yingchuan County was attacked by Zhang Ren and Tai Shici and has been lost. β
"When the Xun army division retreated, send someone to inform us and let us evacuate as soon as possible. β
"But our current situation is that Zhao Yun's army is in hot pursuit, and there is an army led by Wei Yan of Chu State in front of us, and they want to encircle and destroy us. β
"Speaking of Wei Yan, this person is the general of our defeated army. β
"We have only one choice now, defeat Wei Yan's army and tear a hole to break through. As long as you break through, you can return to Yingchuan and return to Wei. β
Zhang Liao spoke loudly, he wanted to boost his morale.
Morale is gone, and it is difficult for soldiers to have fighting spirit.
Zhang Liao said something, but the soldier looked sad. They retreated all the way from Wanxian and were already very tired. previously thought that after withdrawing, he could fight Zhang Ren with Xun You, and his fighting spirit was still there. Now that he learned that Xun You's army was defeated, Wei Yan blocked him, he was depressed and extremely worried.
Zhang Liao saw that his morale was low, and he sighed in his heart.
However, his emotions were not 'revealed', and he said again: "Brothers, if we don't fight, we can only become prisoners of Wei Yan and Zhang Liao." β
"I became a prisoner of the Chu State, and I have no more freedom. β
"Taken prisoner, we can never return home. β
"As captives, we can no longer be reunited with our families and we cannot see our loved ones. β
Zhang Liao raised his head, almost hysterical, and said loudly: "At this point, we have no choice but to choose to fight to the end." Otherwise, we will only become prisoners of the Chu people, but are you willing to be prisoners?"
Zhang Liao stared at the soldier and asked loudly.
Although the morale of the soldiers is low, these soldiers are not a bad breed. They heard Zhang Liao's words and barely cheered up.
They were reluctant to become captives and wanted to return to Wei.
Seeing that his morale had risen slightly, Zhang Liao was greatly encouraged, and said, "Since you don't want to be a prisoner and don't want to stay in the Chu State, then let's kill them." Summoned the order to kill Wei Yan's army. We have no road, so we will fight our way. β
At the sound of an order, the army set off.
The soldiers marched mightily and hurried away.
Zhang Liao saw it in his eyes, but he was not satisfied, because the morale of the soldiers was not enough, and he did not have the ruthlessness of the past. But in such a situation, Zhang Liao was helpless.
So far, there is no way for him to reverse it.
When Zhang Liao was hurrying with his soldiers, the situation of Zhang Liao's army soon reached Wei Yan's ears. Wei Yan, as a veteran on the battlefield, is not a reckless person. While he led the soldiers to hurry quickly, he also arranged for sentry spies to inquire about the news.
Therefore, Wei Yan discovered Zhang Liao's traces. Knowing that Zhang Liao was leading the army to kill, Wei Yan had an expectant look on his face, and ordered: "Order, the army rests in place." β
The order was given, and the army did not advance again.
The reason why Wei Yan ordered the soldiers to stop advancing was because he had the initiative and could wait for the rabbit. Zhang Liao is now a trapped beast, he can take soldiers to kill it, but Wei Yan can also wait for Zhang Liao to come.
In particular, Wei Yan also wanted to say that Zhang Liao would be surrendered without spending a single soldier.
The army rested and waited quietly.
Time passed little by little, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.
The news that Wei Yan was no longer advancing also reached Zhang Liao's ears. Zhang Liao knew Wei Yan's intentions and knew that Wei Yan was going to wait for the rabbit, but he had no choice but to continue to rush forward with his soldiers.
In the end, Zhang Liao took the soldiers to the place where Wei Yan was stationed.
Wei Yan lined up the whole army, and stood at the forefront on horseback. Seeing Zhang Liao arriving with the soldiers, he shouted, "Where is Zhang Liao?"
"Da! Da!!"
Zhang Liaoce immediately stepped forward and replied, "Zhang Liao is here!"
Wei Yan smiled and said, "Zhang Liao, we meet again." β
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that I couldn't take you down last time in Wanxian, so that you escaped." β
Wei Yan said: "That's a general's life, which shouldn't be broken." Zhang Liao, you can't escape today. You came with soldiers to break through the encirclement of the general, and then turn around to Yingchuan, and finally go north to Chen Liu and Cao Cao' to converge. β
Zhang Liao's face was 'pale' and 'gloomy', and he really thought so.
Wei Yan smiled and said unhurriedly: "Your idea is too naΓ―ve to complete." Zhang Liao, you are already a turtle in an urn, and it is impossible to break through. β
"The soldiers led by Ben are only a part. β
"At the location of your Wei State camp, General Zhang Ren also led a garrison and laid a net to wait for you. Even if you break through from Benjiang, you can't stop General Zhang's encirclement. β
"The general can also tell you that Xun You and the soldiers under his command have been captured. β
"Because in our rear, there is also the army of General Taishi. β
"Under the control of the layers of troops, can you still escape? Impossible. You are now fighting with Ben General, you can only survive, and you can only consume the 'life' of the soldiers under your command. It's just that the soldiers around you are all trained by you. Are you willing to watch them die? Why fight when you know you can't do it?"
Wei Yan talked eloquently, using his incorruptible tongue, intending to persuade Zhang Liao to surrender. Now that Zhang Liao is in a desperate situation, it is possible to persuade Zhang Liao.
After Zhang Liao listened, his face was extremely gloomy.
There was a look of despair in his eyes. He thought that Xun You would be able to break through, but he didn't expect Xun You to be captured. Moreover, Zhang Ren was still waiting for him in front.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liao was desperate.
He is not afraid of death, but what about the soldiers under his command?
The soldiers under his command are all living 'life' lives. If he can break through and there is a possibility of breaking through, Zhang Liao will never give up, he will choose to rush and kill, and now there is no possibility.
Zhang Liao took a deep breath and said helplessly: "I surrender!"
