Chapter 152: The Dust Settles in Yizhou (4,000 Words for Subscription)
Since the surrender of the generals of Ruoxian, Li Yan took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Xindu, wanting to persuade the second general Wu Lanlei to surrender.
Now the situation is clear.
Even if Wu Lanlei Tong fights to the death, he can't change the ending, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.
Today's Yizhou has no chance of winning.
With the elite under Liu Qi's command, plus the soldiers and horses who surrendered in Yizhou, there are more than 100,000 troops together.
The strength is not an order of magnitude for a long time.
Surrender is good for everyone at this moment.
Li Yan came to the new capital with a few relatives.
Seeing the second general Wu Lanlei Tongtong, the second general looked solemn at this moment, obviously knowing the news of Yuxian.
Originally, the two cities were horns of each other, but now it's okay, the county with more soldiers and horses has surrendered before fighting, and only 20,000 soldiers and horses are left in their new capital, what can they do?
When I heard that Li Yan was coming.
In fact, the second general had already guessed the purpose of Li Yan's trip.
And it's ready.
Anyway, you can't beat it, you can't really die here!
After seeing the second general.
Li Yan didn't waste time, he just went straight to the topic, knew the benefits, and soon made up his mind.
After all, Liu Zhang is not very good to them, and it is wise to surrender Liu Qi now. Anyway, they are all surnamed Liu, and they are barely a family, without too much psychological pressure.
So, under Li Yan's persuasion, the two decided to lead the troops to surrender to Liu Qi. Let Li Yan go to report to Liu Qi.
And Liu Qi's department, after the rectification of soldiers and horses in Ruxian County.
It is also to lead the main force to the new capital.
On the way, Li Yan replied, and he had successfully persuaded Wu Lanlei to surrender to Cheng.
The two cities surrendered without a fight, saving Liu Qi a lot of trouble.
Even if his elite men can win, the price of forcibly attacking the city will definitely not be small.
Moreover.
Took these two cities.
Liu Qi can lead the army directly into Shu County, Chengdu is Liu Zhang's last barrier, whether to fight or surrender, it depends on how he chooses, anyway, the result is the same.
With the surrender of soldiers and horses from all walks of life in Yizhou, Liu Zhang has long lost the confidence to confront Liu Qi. Even if Liu Zhang chooses to resist stubbornly, it will only delay for a few days, and there will be no benefit.
The news of the surrender of the generals soon spread to the city of Chengdu.
At this moment, Liu Zhang also expects that there will be some variables, so that Liu Qi will withdraw and leave, and he will continue to rule Yizhou.
However, the variables are not good news.
even made Liu Zhang a little desperate.
In Chengdu Mansion.
There was a message from a fast horse.
Liu Zhang couldn't wait to ask:
"Did Liu Qi's army kill in Ruo County?"
The visitor glanced at Liu Zhang, and said with a little hesitation:
"Lord Qi, Liu Qi's army was killed in Ruo County, and Li Yan and others surrendered the city together. Then the second general of the new capital, Wu Lanlei Tong, also surrendered to Liu Qi, and now the Jingzhou army is coming straight to Chengdu. ”
This news, like a lightning strike, directly stunned Liu Zhang. This was a result he didn't expect at all, and the army of ten thousand people actually voted directly.
With so many soldiers and horses, if you fight with all your might, you may not be able to deal with Liu Qi. But now that they all surrendered, Liu Qi's strength has increased greatly, but Liu Zhang no longer has the strength to resist.
"How is this possible?"
With thoughts surging in his heart, Liu Zhang staggered to the ground, and he still said in disbelief.
But from his desperate expression, it can be seen that Liu Zhang has actually accepted this matter. Even if he is unwilling, reality is reality and will not change because of fantasy.
In the government, everyone was speechless.
They were also in an uproar.
Originally, I thought that there were still many soldiers and horses in Yizhou, and even if the Jingzhou army came, they would be invincible if they delayed time, but now they are all surrendered.
directly cut off Liu Zhang's hope.
Liu Zhang said in a trance:
"How's that good?"
The change in the situation is really unexpected, and it is Huang
The right was also unexpected. Li Yan and other generals said that they would surrender, but they were too decisive and he was unprepared.
But Huang Quan is a resolute minister, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"The lord rest assured, there are still soldiers and horses in the city now, and the ministers are willing to fight to the death for the lord. If Liu Qi wants to enter Chengdu, he has to step on the corpse of his ministers. ”
This is Huang Quan's determination.
He was originally from Shudi, and as one of Liu Zhang's cronies, he has not been thin to him over the years.
He was determined to be a loyal servant.
However, Huang Quan is not afraid of death, but it does not mean that others are not afraid of death.
Their hearts were terrified.
Who is really willing to die here for Liu Zhang.
Moreover, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, even if they try their best, it is impossible to change the result.
Is everyone going to die?
In the midst of everyone, a figure stood up, and he looked at Huang Quan with righteous indignation:
"Huang Gongheng, you are going to drag the lord to bury with you."
When Huang Quan heard this, he immediately turned around and saw that figure, which was Xu Jing, a famous man today.
This is also one of the representatives of the Dongzhou faction.
Moreover, he was indeed a well-known Qingliu in the late Han Dynasty, and the Yuedan Review was done by him and his cousin Xu Shao together, commenting on the world's talents, and he couldn't do it without a little level.
This made Huang Quan frown, and before he could open his mouth to refute, Xu Jing said solemnly to Liu Zhang:
"Lord, now that Liu Qi is leading the troops, if Jiayi Prefecture surrenders the soldiers and horses, I am afraid that there will be more than 100,000 people, even if the lord sticks to the city, and even abandons Chengdu to go to the Nanzhong Prefectures, it will be difficult to change the ending.
Now Yizhou has no strength to fight against Liu Qi.
His soldiers are strong and strong, and he has won all the way, and his morale is like a rainbow, and it is the time when he is at his strongest.
If the lord really chooses to fight to the death, then what about the lord's relatives, I am afraid that it will be a dead end at that time, and the ending will be difficult to change, so why add another disaster?
In other words, this Liu Qi is also a relative of the Han family after all, although he can ignore morality and seize the lord's foundation, but since he has won Yizhou, if the lord goes out of the city and surrenders, what reason does he have for the lord? ”
Xu Jing is not Liu Zhang's hardcore.
Although he has not been under Liu Zhang for a day or two, he has indeed been reused by Liu Zhang, but as a representative of the Dongzhou faction, he does not recognize Liu Zhang's presence in Yizhou.
Now Liu Qi is here and has directly swept the people of Yizhou.
There is no need to hesitate in this case.
Anyway, it's right to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender, and he can't beat it anyway, so surrender early and be peaceful as soon as possible.
If Liu Zhang is self-conscious, there will definitely be no problem with survival.
But if you really want to go head-to-head with Liu Qi, no one knows what the outcome will be, and maybe you will have to pay an unbearable price.
Sure enough, I listened to Xu Jing's persuasion.
Liu Zhang fell into hesitation.
Of course, he was not willing to surrender.
However, what Xu Jing said made him have to think carefully.
If he resists, he may die a miserable death, surrender at this moment, with his relationship with Liu Qi, it will definitely be no problem to live, and he may even have the opportunity to be a rich man.
In fact, with Liu Zhang's thoughts, he didn't want to be a hero who competed for domination of the world. This goal was too far away for him to be out of reach at the moment.
Originally, Liu Zhang only wanted to guard his own one-third of an acre.
However, in a good place like Yizhou, Liu Zhang wants to keep it, and it is impossible for others to let him do it casually.
It's too wasteful.
If Liu Qi doesn't come today, it won't be long before Cao Cao comes.
Liu Zhang will be like this, it is completely his own fault, there is a cause and an effect.
Anyway, governing states and counties is not what he is good at.
If it weren't for the death of Liu Yan's first two sons, maybe it would not be Liu Zhang who took over Yizhou now.
If you can be a rich man, it's not a bad thing.
Liu Zhang's mind is quietly changing.
But Huang Quan's expression was cold.
He glared at Xu Jing and shouted:
"Ridiculous, Xu Wenxiu, what do you want to do, now it is Liu Qi who is leading the troops to invade my Yizhou, and the lord is the Yizhou pastor of the imperial court, how can he inherit the industry
It's ...... to give it away."
In this situation, Huang Quan certainly wants to fight for it.
He didn't want to surrender anyway.
But before he could finish speaking, Liu Zhang's voice came:
"That's enough, I don't need to say much, I have my own consideration for this matter."
Huang Quan had thousands of words in his heart, and he was directly suffocated back into his stomach by Liu Zhang's words.
He opened his mouth, but was speechless.
Now the situation in Yizhou has indeed reached the point of no return, but these courtiers are willing to defend the city and die, Liu Zhang is thinking about surrendering instead, how can they not be cold?
Anyway, Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others looked lonely.
They are all Liu Zhang's hardcores, loyal to Liu Zhang, and they really want to do something.
But many things, they don't have ideas that can be changed.
Originally, the strength of the two parties was not of the same magnitude.
From the very beginning, Yizhou must have more soldiers and horses. However, it was impossible for Yizhou to directly gather the soldiers and horses in one place to fight Liu Qi to the death.
Because this is the territory of Yizhou, they need to defend different cities, so facing the soldiers of the Jingzhou army in a single place is actually less.
In addition, the Jingzhou army fought one after another during this time, and their morale was at its strongest.
And their combat power is far superior to that of the Yizhou army.
At the same time, the successive defeats of Yizhou's soldiers and horses made their morale drop seriously, and the gap between them became wider and wider.
In addition, Liu Zhang could not stabilize the hearts of the people in Yizhou, and many people chose to surrender, creating the current situation. But as long as Liu Zhang's prestige is stronger, he will not be powerless to fight back.
Although it was not said directly.
But Xu Jing's words just now did speak to Liu Zhang's heart.
He waved his hand and said:
"Everyone, go back first, and let me calm down."
No matter what, Liu Zhang's mood is still very complicated, mainly because he is not used to the change in identity.
He was originally appointed by the imperial court as the pastor of Yizhou.
But he was about to become a captive.
This kind of identity gap makes Liu Zhang full of sighs.
But there are some things that need to be faced.
He can't change the solution, he can only change his choice.
The current Liu Qi is too strong, so strong that Liu Zhang can't see hope, and surrender seems to be the best choice.
He wanted to live more than die in the city.
But there is no need to rush this matter, he still has some time to think about it, because Liu Qi's army has not yet arrived in Chengdu, and they will need at least a few days.
In the end, Liu Zhang sighed helplessly.
Recalling that before Liu Yan died of illness, he handed Yizhou into his hands, and he also worked hard, but to no avail.
It's just because his ability is limited, and he is not the material to do this business.
At the beginning, Liu Yan formed an alliance with Ma Teng and wanted to engage Cao Cao in a wave, but Liu Yan's two sons died.
Perhaps a long time ago, Liu Zhang never thought that he would sit in the position of Yizhou pastor. Only now he has to admit that this matter is too difficult.
Three days later.
Liu Qi led the troops to the outside of Chengdu.
In fact, in the past few days, he is also giving Liu Zhang a chance, whether it is to fight or surrender, it is up to Liu Zhang to decide.
But when his army comes, he will never show mercy.
Outside the city of Chengdu.
Liu Qi raised his head and looked at it from afar, and said:
"This is Chengdu."
Beside Liu Qi, Fa Zheng also said:
"Yizhou is an outstanding person, but unfortunately Liu Zhang has no wisdom to use people, and he feels that this Liu Zhang is not a strong person, he will not fight to the death with the lord, most of them will abandon the city and surrender."
For Liu Zhang, Fa Zheng still knows something.
Liu Qi nodded slowly and said:
"Then let the soldiers line up and let Liu Jiyu know that my Jingzhou elite is powerful!"
The order came out, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan led the troops.
Huang Zhong commanded 30,000 foot soldiers, this is the most elite army of the Jingzhou army, and they came directly outside the city.
A posture of showing off his might.
The purpose is self-explanatory.
Above the city tower, after learning the news, Liu
Zhang rushed to the scene as soon as possible, for fear of delaying time.
When he saw the elite of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang's expression changed greatly.
Such an elite, he has never seen it in Yizhou, such a strong soldier, no wonder his side is not an opponent.
So, Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"Jingzhou is really full of talents!"
Hearing this, the faces of everyone around Liu Zhang darkened.
Boy.
When is it now, I don't forget the yin and yang weird words. What is called Jingzhou's talents, doesn't it mean that Yizhou people are not good, it is really annoying.
But Liu Zhang didn't notice it at all.
Or, it's all come to this point, it doesn't matter what he says, he's already made a decision anyway.
Someone hesitated and asked:
"Lord, the Jingzhou army has already arrived in the city, what should we do now?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhang turned around and said:
"Open the gates and surrender! I, Liu Jiyu, have been in Yizhou for many years, and I have no preferential treatment for the people, and now that the Jingzhou army is attacking, why let the people fall into a bitter battle and increase casualties. ”
He gave himself a reason to make a name for himself.
When everyone heard this, they didn't even react, and they were silent one by one, as if they were wood carvings.
Suddenly, there was movement.
A figure on the city tower rushed to the city wall without hesitation.
He is Wang Lei.
At the same time, he shouted:
"Humble duties can't help the lord defend the land, so that Yizhou fell into the hands of thieves, and today you should die with your will!"
After speaking, Wang Lei jumped down.
Fell to the ground and fell into a bloody blur.
This scene is even more shocking and completely unexpected.
This king is tired and fierce to such a degree.
Huang Quan's gaze swept over, his expression stunned, and finally sighed faintly.
He didn't learn to jump down tiredly.
Instead, he returned to the mansion and closed his door, and the others wanted to go out and surrender, and it had nothing to do with him.
This is Huang Quan's attitude.
