Surrender seemed to be the best option for the stephen.

They don't care about the prestige of surrendering or not surrendering.

So he asked Tuoba Liwei to go south again to contact Yang Zhao and explain his intentions.

Tuoba Li was a little nervous, after all, he was just such a person, if Yang Zhao was unwilling to accept surrender and killed himself by the way, he would not even have a chance to resist.

However, Yang Zhao didn't kill anyone, and he didn't want to break into Xianbei now.

Since the Xianbei people took the initiative to surrender, he could accept it, first appease Budugen and the others, and wait until he solved the internal affairs of the Han Dynasty and freed up his hands, and then went to deal with Xianbei.

At that time, whether the Xianbei people can still hold Danhan Mountain depends on their luck.

"Bring someone in!"

Yang Zhao said.

Soon, Tuoba Liwei was brought into the surrendered city.

Along with them, there was also Tuoba Lixiong, who was a little worried about whether they could get out alive.

"Sit!"

Yang Zhao said.

"General, we are here to surrender."

Tuoba Liwei said: "Before our Tuoba Department sent troops, mainly instigated by the Huns, it was indeed very undeserved, this time it is sincere to surrender, I hope we can make peace, no more contradictions, what does the general think?" ”

"Whatever the Huns tell you to do, you are willing to do?"

Yang Zhao smiled and asked, "You are Shan Yu from the Tuoba Department, right?" You Tuan Department are too unassertive. ”

Tuoba Lixiong couldn't help but say: "We admit that it is indeed coveting the land of your Han, but you Han has not lost, but we have lost Jiuyuan and other counties, and so many people have died." ”

Yang Zhao said lightly: "Jiuyuan and other counties were originally our Han Dynasty, but there were some accidents in the past and they were occupied by you, and now they are taken back by me, as for the losses, the soldiers killed in our army, the food consumed, etc., isn't it a loss?" ”

As long as there is war, there will inevitably be losses.

Even if the fight is not started, but the army is gathered, the amount of food consumed is a huge amount.

Tuoba Lixiong had nothing to say.

"We're here to surrender."

Tuoba Liwei said: "Our big single Yu Budugen agreed to surrender, we are humble, we can always be friendly with the Han Dynasty, and we will not provoke war again, what does the general think?" ”

Yang Zhao didn't agree immediately, and asked rhetorically: "You say war is war, and now you say surrender and surrender, then wouldn't I suffer a loss?" ”

"What do you want?"

Takuba asked Rixiong.

"War compensation, the Huns can give me 10,000 sheep and 5,000 war horses, it should be no problem for you to double it, right?"

Yang Zhao asked lightly.

Tuoba Liwei said: "But the general asked for compensation from the Huns, and finally destroyed the Huns, and drove people into our Xianbei, can I believe it?" ”

"If you don't believe it, forget it."

Yang Zhao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Even if I enter Xianbei now, I believe that no one will take the opportunity to do anything to me, I also have the ability to fight to Danhan Mountain, whether it is war or peace, you can weigh it yourself." ”

Tuobali asked curiously, "Why?" ”

"Because I'm fighting abroad."

Yang Zhao looked at them and said confidently: "My senior brother Gongsun Zan has been fighting in the northern part of Youzhou, fighting against Wuhuan and you Xianbei. Han Sui, Ma Teng and others in Guanzhong and Liangzhou are also strong enemies of your foreign Hu people. The people who threaten me in the north are now the only ones left, but they don't have much affection for you foreigners, and when they see me fighting Xianbei, they will sneak up on me? ”

This sentence made Tuoba Li listen to it and felt that it made sense.

Yang Zhao still has confidence in Gongsun Zhan.

But Han Sui and Ma Teng don't have much confidence.

Deliberately saying this, he also used it to scare Tuoba Liwei and the others, anyway, they didn't know the internal situation of the Han.

Sure enough, the two Tuobali brothers frowned.

"As for the south, Cao Cao is my fierce rival, but now he is probably thinking about how to plan the south, he has no time to go north, and he will not help outsiders and frame us Han people." Yang Zhao continued.

He felt that Cao Cao should not take advantage of the foreign invasion of the Han people to sneak attack behind the back.

If Yang Zhao wants to enter Xianbei, the feasibility is still very great, but he doesn't want to fight now, and if he does, he won't be able to take over such a large area of land.

Speaking of this, Yang Zhao said indifferently: "If you continue to fight, I will accompany you to the end." ”

Tuobali sighed slightly: "I can't make up my mind about compensation, I need to tell us Da Danyu." ”

"Then please go back!"

Yang Zhao didn't forcibly leave them behind, and let people send them out the door.

After leaving the surrendered city, they were sure that there was no danger, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went back to the royal court of Danhan Mountain, and sent a message to Budugen, whether to surrender or not, and in the end Budugen decided.

Seeing off the other two, Yang Zhao ordered to continue to guard and wait for the next result.

——

Xiangyang.

In the end, Liu Qi was killed by Cao Cao.

Liu Cong, Cai Mao and others persuaded all the families in Jingzhou to sacrifice Jingzhou and lead everyone out of the city to surrender, because Liu Biao was also dead, and it was not much fun to fight again.

After all, they were not Cao Cao's opponents.

The current Cao Cao, although he does not control the forces of the four northern states, is definitely not weak, and there are many fierce generals around him, especially Lu Bu, and most of his soldiers are elite.

Cao Cao's navy has been training for a long time, and there are many warships.

Even if Xiangyang can be defended, Liu Cong and Cai Mao feel that they will not be able to hold it for long, so it is better to surrender.

"I've seen the General!"

Liu Cong and Cai Mao saw Cao Cao coming, and hurriedly shouted.

The people around him shouted with him.

Yang Zhao was Liu Xie's general, and Cao Cao became Liu Xie's general, in order to compete with Yang Zhao.

"We, Jingzhou, are willing to surrender all and submit to the imperial court." Liu Cong said again.

"Good!"

Cao Cao rode his horse, came to them, and shouted: "Let you Xiangyang guards all drop their weapons, and wait for you to enter the city and control everything." ”

"Yes!"

Lu Bu said.

"Drop your weapons!"

Liu Cong did not hesitate.

When the soldiers defending the city saw this, they threw down their weapons one after another, and then Lu Bu led his troops into the city, and Xiangyang City and even Jingzhou changed hands in this way.

"Deju, your willingness to surrender is the most correct choice!"

Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction.

Cai Mao arched his hand and said: "We should have returned to the imperial court a long time ago, but it was the eldest prince Liu Qi who managed Jingzhou before, and Liu Zhijun was sick in bed, we couldn't help it, but fortunately, the general killed Liu Qi, so we had this opportunity." ”

Their acting skills look pretty good.

Surrender is such a thing, they have already discussed it, and now it is just hypocritically polite.

"As for the counties in the south of Jingzhou, we don't have the ability to control them yet, and we need the general to surrender." Cai Mao said again.

Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "I will do this, let's go into the city, where is Liu Jingsheng buried?" He and I are friends, and we came to Xiangyang, and we can't help but pay respects when we wait. ”

Liu Cong said: "I will lead the way for the general!" ”

He can only endure this humiliation and lead the way for Cao Cao, as long as he can survive, nothing else matters.
