The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

In private, Liu Biao has heard some rumors that if he is unwilling to surrender, some people will force open the city gate and let Liu Zheng's troops enter the city.

"Everyone, I think you should also know that today is the last day of my agreement with Liu Zheng."

At this time, Liu Biao looked at the people present with a lonely expression. Although he knew that some of these people had betrayed him, Liu Biao was unwilling to pursue further.

Winner and loser, soon Liu Biao himself will become a prisoner, so why bother to embarrass others.

Water flows to low places and people go to high places. This kind of thing is human nature, and Liu Biao also agrees.

Among those present, all advocated surrender.

Only Cai Zhong and He were the ones who were least willing to surrender.

"My lord, I don't think we should be intimidated by that Liu Zheng. We can wait. The eldest son has not returned until now. Maybe the eldest son is still fighting Liu Zheng in Hanyang. If we surrender now, then The eldest son is in danger!"

Liu Zheng at this time is Deng Ai who raided Chengdu during the Three Kingdoms period and forced Liu Chan to surrender, and Liu Qi who has been in the diplomatic war is Jiang Wei.

No matter how powerful Jiang Wei is, he can't save Liu Chan who surrendered wholeheartedly.

Cai Zhong stood up and expressed his thoughts to Liu Biao.

But after Liu Biao glanced at Cai Zhong, he just smiled faintly, which was considered to be a response to Cai Zhong's proposal.

It was too late to persuade Liu Biao and Liu Zheng to persevere. If they did not agree to surrender today, I am afraid that Liu Zheng outside the city would lose patience, and Liu Biao would not have the confidence to stop the army when the time came.

It's fine if you can't stop Liu Zheng's attack, and the people in the entire Xiangyang city will suffer. This is not what Liu Biao wants to see.

"Forget it, if this is the case, don't talk about it anymore. The matter has come to this point. Even if you continue to persevere, it will be useless. You should think about how to propose surrender with Liu Zheng. Although it is a surrender, it is not a complete unconditional surrender. At least He wants to ensure the safety of the people in Xiangyang City and even the entire Jingzhou."

Although he had already made plans to surrender, Liu Biao loved the people under his command, otherwise he wouldn't be able to open up a paradise like Jingzhou in the chaotic times of history.

Seeing that Liu Biao had already made the intention to surrender, the other staff present at the scene began to discuss the conditions to be put forward when he surrendered.

Soon, the group had already discussed a result.

Before the sun set, Liu Biao brought his people back to the tower of the city again.

This time, without waiting for Liu Zheng to call him, he stepped forward and ordered someone to call Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng originally thought that he could go later to give Liu Biao enough time to think clearly.

But since Liu Biao took the initiative to call him, Liu Zheng had no doubts, and directly brought his troops back to the city of Xiangyang.

The two sides met again, but this time it was Liu Biao who spoke first, speaking to Liu Zheng who was downstairs.

"Liu Zheng, I have thought about it clearly. The three-day agreed time has come. According to the agreement, we choose to surrender in Kaesong."

As soon as Liu Biao said something, Liu Zheng immediately responded.

After Liu Zheng heard Liu Biao say that he chose to surrender, he was still somewhat worried, but at this moment he finally felt relieved.

"Okay, very good. Liu Jingsheng is worthy of the reputation of being kind and generous. He is a man of excellence. Since you choose to surrender, I will treat you accordingly."

"I can promise you that you and your family will be safe!"

Liu Zheng spoke so loudly that Liu Biao on the tower and all the counselors under Liu Biao could hear him.

It's just that Liu Biao was not happy after hearing Liu Zheng's answer, but continued to speak to Liu Zheng again.

"Guaranteeing my safety is not what I want. What I want is the safety of the entire Xiangyang City and even the people of Jingzhou. You can't kill innocent people indiscriminately. I won't surrender either!"

When Liu Zheng heard what Liu Biao said, he smiled lightly.

"It seems that you don't know me very well, Brother Jing Sheng."

"I, Liu Zheng, have never been a bloodthirsty person. I love the common people. Although I don't say that I must be much better than you, I will definitely not be much worse than you."

"Don't worry, Jingzhou will definitely become richer and stronger if you hand it over to me, and my goal is not just Jingzhou, but the whole world."

Liu Zheng said something boldly to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao just nodded after listening.Then he bowed his hands to Liu Zheng.

The following things are also simple.

Liu Biao ordered his civil servants and generals to stand up in batches, and ordered Li Yan to open the gate of Xiangyang City.

Let Liu Zheng's men enter the city.

Liu Zheng was not afraid of deceit, so he first ordered Sun Ce to lead half of the troops into Xiangyang City and take over the entire city defense affairs of Xiangyang.

After Sun Ce entered Xiangyang City, he quickly took control of the defense of the entire Xiangyang City. The [-] soldiers in the city abandoned their weapons and stood aside, looking disappointed, waiting for Liu Zheng's soldiers to decide where they would go.

Although Liu Zheng has persuaded Liu Biao to surrender, Liu Biao also expressed his surrender, and even Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses have taken over the defense of the entire Xiangyang City, but Liu Zheng did not take over the Xiangyang City.

Instead, he continued to let the remaining half of his soldiers and horses surround Xiangyang City, making it look like a stalemate with Xiangyang City to outsiders.

Liu Zheng didn't bother the people in the city either, he just let Liu Biao and a group of Liu Biao's cronies come out of the city and transferred them to his territory.

Then Liu Zheng ordered Zhou Yu's [-] soldiers to continue to fight against the defenders in Xiangyang City, while he himself took Xu Huang's thousands of cavalry and quickly went to contact Sun Jian.

Then unite with Sun Jian's troops to quickly support Hanyang City.

During the three days waiting for the news here, the situation in Hanyang City has also reached Liu Zheng's ears through Jin Yiwei.

Liu Zheng already knew at this time, Zhang Liao led Liu Qi's troops, and tens of thousands of troops rushed directly to Wulin County and Gan Ning's troops to start a duel.

Chapter 800 Megatron Wulin City

If that's all, Liu Zheng won't be nervous.

However, Zhang Liao had already made up his mind to give Liu Zheng some color. An army of [-] to [-] troops went straight to Gan Ning's Wulin County and defeated Wulin in just three days, forcing Gan Ning to retreat to Changsha.

The troops of Gan Ning and Zu Lang fought a great battle with the troops of Zhang Liao and Liu Qi at Wulin.

But Zhang Liao had already decided that Gan Ning and the others had no reinforcements. The soldiers and horses near Jingzhou were all dispatched to Yuzhou by Liu Zheng, so Zhang Liao's troops were very powerful.

Fighting with all their strength, they rushed to Wulin County after a few rounds of charge.

This Wulin County City is not a particularly strong city at all, it is just a small county town, the city is not high, and the vanguard can easily climb up the tower with a ladder.

Zhang Liao, who already had a lot more troops than Gan Ning and Zu Lang, under the blessing of Liu Qi's army, charged two rounds and directly killed the tower.

After a round of confrontation, Gan Ning's men could block Zhang Liao's attack, but Zu Lang's navy could not.

The navy still had an advantage in the water. In the offensive and defensive battle, after the advantages of these navy were not brought into play, the casualties were heavy. The [-] navy directly lost more than half of them in the battle in Hanyang City.

When they were in Wulin, the small navy suffered casualties again, if Huang Zhong's army hadn't arrived in time to take over Gan Ning and the remnants of Zu Lang.

I'm afraid that Gan Ning and Zu Lang's troops will be completely wiped out by Zhang Liao in Wulin County.

But despite this, Gan Ning and Zu Lang were still defeated, with nearly 5000 soldiers and horses, and when they fled back to Baqiu County, only [-] were left.

These people, relying on some of Huang Zhong's troops, retreated near Baqiu County, and Zhang Liao's troops also pursued them at this time.

It's just that Zhang Liao didn't dare to continue the strong attack at this time. When he stormed Wulin, Zhang Liao had already lost some soldiers and horses. He and Liu Qi had 6 or 4 people, and there were only about [-] left at this time .

If they continue to attack Baqiu by force, although there is some possibility of defeating Baqiu, the loss of troops will definitely not be small.

Zhang Liao still has some self-knowledge.

The two sides had a stalemate in Baqiu for several days, trying to find a way to deal with their opponents.

"Damn it, hate it! How can I explain to His Majesty that I lost to this guy? I lost so much soldiers and horses!"

Zu Lang shouted loudly at Pan Lin and the others.

Although there was his own fault here, the bigger reason was that Pan Lin and the others lost too many troops when they went to Hanyang City, which made Zulang lose again and again.

Of the 5000 to [-] sailors, there are less than [-] left.

It means that his navy is about to be wiped out.

Pan Lin was scolded a few times by Zu Lang, but he didn't dare to refute. After all, he had indeed suffered a loss in this matter, and it would be good to pray in his heart that he would not be punished by Liu Zheng, so why should he have any other extravagant hopes.

"Okay, Zu Lang, we're not considered a failure. Wulin County was only captured by us before, but now it's just returned to them."

"As long as we can stick to this Baqiu County, His Majesty will only punish us too much."

Gan Ning was aware of his current situation, and did not put his mind on the battlefield of failure. Instead, he wanted to summarize some previous failures and see how to boost morale at this time.

"Xingba, that Zhang Liao is very good at martial arts, and he is not afraid of death. Every time he charges, he takes the lead and leads the charge. This is me. Now that I am in this position, I dare not be so aggressive. He really treats himself as a young man."

"Hahaha, brother Zu, who are you and me? What is the age of Zhang Liao? He is a general, so desperately trying to gain fame, but we are different. We already have fame. As long as you don’t make mistakes, it’s fine, so there will inevitably be some fears in the battle.”

"But this time it won't work. Baqiu is the junction of Jiangxia County and Changsha County. If Baqiu is lost, their soldiers and horses will be directed at Changsha County!"

Gan Ning also stiffened at this time, and issued an order.

Huang Zhong also nodded after Gan Ning finished speaking.

"General Gan Ning is right. Baqiu is very important. We must not let Zhang Liao down, otherwise we will not be able to explain to His Majesty. According to the time, His Majesty has already started to attack in Xiangyang. We Just hold on for a while, and Xiangyang will fall into His Majesty's hands."

"At that time, this piece of Liao will become the softshell in our urn, and we can handle it at any time."

Huang Zhong shared his opinion with Gan Ning. When Zu Lang said, the lieutenants below all nodded. This is the first time they have suffered such a big defeat. At this moment, they are all suffocated and want a snow former shame.

At the same time, in Zhang Liao and Liu Qi's camp on the other side, they were also thinking about how to attack Baqiu and take down this important town between the two counties.

"What to do, General Wenyuan, our spies came to tell us that there are a large number of troops from Liu Zhengjun in Baqiu County, among which the main force of the Ganning Department is here, part of Zulang's navy, and the army from Jiangling. Huang Zhong came to support him, and even some county soldiers were urgently transferred from Changsha."

"It is estimated that there are more than 3 soldiers and horses here in Baqiu. They are only stationed in the county seat and do not leave the city to fight us. Is it possible that we will attack again?"

Liu Qi was very concerned about attacking Baqiu County, but after weighing the difference in strength between the two sides, he always felt that it would be difficult to attack Baqiu County, not as easy as he thought.

Zhang Liao frowned, and after hearing Liu Qi's description, his expression became more serious.

"Baqiu is an important town. It's right if it's not easy to fight. If it's easy to fight, it would be strange, but even if it's not easy to fight, we won't give up. On the surface, we are in a stalemate with them here for a few days, but in fact , we don’t fight Baqiu, we go directly to Jiangling, go to Jiangling, join forces with Master Ding Yuan’s men, and then return to Xiangyang, we can solve the siege of Xiangyang.”

Zhang Liao didn't intend to fight Baqiu here, but the battle in Wulin had already given Zhang Liao his own momentum, so he didn't care so much when facing Gan Ning and others.

Thinking that these days have passed, the situation in Xiangyang should be very dangerous, so he still wants to see what is going on. After all, there is no news at all these days, and Zhang Liao and Liu Qi will have some worries.

When Liu Qi heard that Zhang Liao wanted to return to Xiangyang, 1 people naturally agreed.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, General Wenyuan!"

Chapter 8 and One Support

Zhang Liao's wishful thinking was well planned.

When he was in Baqiu County, he attracted the attention of Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and others, and then turned around to kill Jiangling.

In this way, joining with Ding Yuan's troops, they can advance to attack and retreat to defend.

You don't need to fight alone, you can discuss with Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses, cooperate with Ding Yuan's cavalry, and even deal a heavy blow to Gan Ning and Huang Zhong on this battlefield.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Jiangling City had already fallen into Liu Zheng's hands.

Even Ding Yuan has been recruited by Liu Zheng and sent back to the countryside to farm.

Two days passed quickly.

After Zhang Liao led the troops to confront Huang Zhong Ganning's men in Baqiu County for a few days, he was not in a hurry to attack.

Instead, they have been sending people to inquire about the news from Jiangling City.

It's just that the person he sent out to inquire about the news has not yet returned to tell him what happened in Jiangling. Behind him, Hanyang City ushered in Liu Zheng's army.

After Liu Zheng settled the matter in Xiangyang, he quickly led Sun Jian's troops from Xiangyang to Hanyang.

Because Zhang Liao took away most of the soldiers and horses from Hanyang.

Therefore, there are less than 5000 troops left in the entire Hanyang City, and these troops will not have the ability to resist when Liu Zheng and Sun Jian's troops arrive.

Hanyang City was directly taken down by Liu Zheng.

After Liu Zheng captured Hanyang, he immediately asked the defenders in Hanyang where Zhang Liao and others had gone.

Soon he learned from those people that Zhang Liao and Liu Qi's men were chasing Gan Ning and the others in Baqiu.

Afterwards, Liu Zheng and Sun Jian immediately chased after them.

When Zhang Liao and Liu Qi were planning to take their troops to Jiangling City to join Ding Yuan's troops, Liu Zheng and Sun Jian went to Baqiu at this time.

Outside Baqiu city.

Zhang Liao and Liu Qi were still discussing when to leave.

"General Wen Yuan, our troops are almost ready, we can leave here."

"At that time, we will go straight to Jiangling, join General Ding Yuan's troops, and then return to Xiangyang. Then Liu Zheng may be flanked by us back and forth, and he may be defeated in one fell swoop."

Liu Qi was already a little excited at this time, this time he and Zhang Liao had already defeated Liu Zheng's general Gan Ning.

As long as he returns to Xiangyang this time, Liu Qi will definitely be praised by his father.
