Chapter 110 Good Surrender

Just as Liu Biao's subordinates were still hesitating whether to fight or surrender, a blockbuster news spread in Baidi City, which made them completely panic. Zhang Yun made three urgent documents with fire paint of 100,000 yuan in a row. Suddenly, a large number of soldiers and horses appeared in the rear, and began to attack Zigui day and night. Su Fei held on to it for less than two days, and the whole line was defeated. Ma Teng, who got the news earlier, sent troops to Linjiang again, and even attacked Kuiguan at the risk of the soldiers' lives. Zhang Yun was forced to deal with it and could not withdraw troops to support him at all. Su Fei said that there were great casualties, and there were no reinforcements. In desperation, he finally surrendered to the city.

Zigui is lost. There are heavy soldiers in front of the White Emperor City, and there is a block in the back, which is already precarious.

Kuiguan's important surname for Jiangling can be imagined. Once this place is lost, the upstream fleet can go all the way down the river unimpeded to Jiangling City. When Liu Bumbled troops to support overnight, several letters came from Baidi City, and Kui Guan was lost.

The whole Jiangling City fell into a dead silence. Even Huo Jun and others, who had been fighting the main battle, deeply felt a sense of powerlessness. They claimed to be the strongest and most important water gate to guard the east of Sichuan and Shu, but in just three days, they completely fell. This makes everyone feel afraid. Is the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army so high that they can only look up?

In fact, the matter still occurs in the internal problems of Jingzhou.

When Zhang He took Xiangyang, the Ma brothers of Jingzhong made great contributions. Among them, Ma Zhen later presented the defense map of the seven counties of Jingzhou, which played a pivotal role in this battle. As early as a few years ago, Ma Qian had a foreboding that He Chen and Liu Biao would break out a war sooner or later. With his identity at that time, he wandered through several counties in Jingzhou, especially the defense line around the Yangtze River, and drew a detailed geographical situation, including important strategic strongholds such as Kuiguan, Xiakou and Baling.

And Zhao Yun relied on this map to capture Zigui. Under the signal of Ju Shu, he ordered the elite that night and let Lejin, Ma Yu, including the surrendered Su Fei copy the path and quickly approach the Kuiguan under the banner of Liu Biao's defeated soldiers. Although Zhang Yun knew that there was a possibility of being surrounded in the back road, on the one hand, Ma Teng's offensive was difficult to deal with, and on the other hand, he did not expect that the Northern Army would come to the city so soon.

However, even if Kuiguan is surrounded on all sides, the majestic level, the steep mountain terrain, and the galloping Yangtze River can still form a natural barrier. But here's the beauty of the matter. Ma Qian, under the banner of the defeated soldiers, especially the surrendered general Su Fei, was anxious, righteous and generous. He had a good relationship with most of the generals in Jingzhou, and happened to be old with Deng Xi, who was defending the city at that time, and soon cheated the gate.

As soon as the gate was opened, it was not bad. The northern army took the opportunity to rush up. Deng Xi didn't even have a chance to react, so he completely declared his loss. Then, under the persuasion of Su Fei, he quickly surrendered to He Chen. Zhang Yun got the news that it was at least two hours later. When he was overstretched and transferred to the team, the leading troops of Zhao Yun's army were already under the city, and there was almost no need to blow the ashes, so they took down the White Emperor City.

Seeing that the general trend was gone, Zhang Yun had no way to retreat. In the end, he could only raise the white flag and surrender.

Zhao Yun and Ma Teng finally met in the White Emperor.

After taking the water Xiong Pass, Ma Teng left Ma Tie to lead 3,000 soldiers and most of the wounded to guard the White Emperor Wu Gorge. He went down the river and was ready to meet Jiangling again. Zhao Yun also did not stop. After three days of rest, the river began to cross the Yangtze River from the south of Kuiguan. Unveiled the feat of invading Jingzhou and sweeping the four counties of Jingnan.

The news of the loss of Kuiguan, like an atomic bomb, completely exploded in Jiangling City. From then on, the waterway was not the exclusive channel for Liu Biaojun, and the Northern Army had an innate advantage of attacking the upstream and downstream. As Zhao Yun launched troops south of the Yangtze River, especially the public security, which had clearly felt the threat of the Northern Army, the voice of surrender and obedience was pushed to a new height.

Maicheng.

This small city, which is famous for the loss of Second Brother Guan to Xiangyang, is now occupied by He Chen's army all over the mountains. Although Maicheng is called a city, it is actually a small county with a population base of no more than 10,000, and the county is also lost for a long time, which is slightly abandoned.

Except for Huang Zhong's soldiers under Jiangling City, other troops should be stationed in the area of Maicheng and Hulugukou.

Maicheng County Government has been recruited as a temporary council hall by He Chen.

Today, there are two guests with some special identities here, Cai Mao and Jing Liang of the Jingzhong family.

In addition to He Chen, there are also three counselors, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Deng Zhi.

After the guest was seated, He Chen took the lead and said, "Zirou and De Gui are safe and sound. Ten years have passed in a flash. Looking at the two red faces, the spring breeze is proud, this little boy must be very happy."

Kuai Liang and Cai Mao can't hear the sarcasm in He Chen's words. Kuai Yue is fine. After He Chen swept the north and worshipped the general, the Kuai family felt that the development of the situation was a little bad. The two brothers, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, who were resourceful, had quietly reserved a way for themselves, had a relationship with He Chen, and secretly had letters and letters. But the Cai family is different. They don't have the far-sighted vision of the brothers, and they can't see the trend of the world in a few years, so they still go their own way. But now, Cai Mao has been regretful for a long time.

When He Chen led the herdsman of Jingzhou, and the army went south to Xiangyang City, in the Jingzhou clan, in addition to the full support of the Ma family and the Xiang family, the Kuai family, the Huang family and other big clans had a ambiguous attitude. Now He Chen took the emperor and ordered the princes to sweep the world, destroy the countries, and be famous. The Ma family and the Xiang family, who made a big bet in those years, have now received extremely rich rewards. The family has not only been developed by the blowout, but also like General Ping Kou and Ma Yu, the Marquis of Linxiang, is already one of He Chen's confidant generals. Ma Yu, Ma Liang, Ma Xuan, Ma Kang, Ma Jin and other brothers are also deeply appreciated by He Chen, and Pingbu Qingyun is waiting. In addition to Xiang Sheng's biography, who died early in battle, Xiang Ping and Xiang Lang, including the fledgling Xiang Chong, who went north with He Chen to Bingzhou, have all held important positions in the army.

Kui Liang smiled twice, but fortunately, he was active. He also knew that He Chen was just the resentment ten years ago, so he didn't care so much: "General Hong Fu, everything is fine. It's just that there is no general Shu Chang, with a big hand, with a million armor, a long knife, and the three armies march together. Now, it's hard to sleep and eat in the next day. I'm afraid that one day when I wake up in my sleep, I will become a prisoner.

He Chenchang laughed and said, "Zi Rou's words are not credible, especially De Gyu. I heard that he has a good life. I heard that he has recently taken in the ninth concubine, and he has a spring snack at night. After all, it's the general who ruined your good deeds and let you feel free and never return.

This matter was not a secret in Nanjun, but I didn't expect it to spread to He Chen's ears, which made Cai Mao blush. He almost wanted to drill a hole in the ground. He was ashamed and said, "General, don't break down."

He Chen was happy again, with a smile on his face and said, "You two are not in Jiangling City. You have come all the way to Maicheng. I don't know what's the matter?" Do you want to persuade the general to strike? This is impossible." After saying this, He Chen shook his head deliberately to show his determination not to retreat.

Kai Liang almost shook his head with laughter. In fact, this time, he sent the letter to Maicheng through his home earlier. It is estimated that He Chen has already read it. Now that he says so, he is obviously making fun of Cai Mao. He wants to see that he is at a loss and frightened appearance, so he also shuts his mouth and doesn't say anything.

When Cai Mao was in Jingzhou, he was also regarded as the number one big man. However, compared with General He's perennial external war and the courage to kill, whether in terms of momentum or style, he was far from the same level. Now he has been mocked by He Chen one after another, and his heart has been a little confused and said, "This time I come to the Lord. The public's order, come to discuss the matter of surrender.

"Oh? Liubiao is not going to continue to resist? Do you want to surrender with a white flag? He Chen was happy, but he didn't say anything on his face. For this result, in fact, most of the counselors under it can guess, especially after taking the White Emperor City and Zhao Yun sent troops to the public security.

Cai Mao smiled and even said flatteringly, "In fact, my lord has long had the heart to return to the general, but because many of his generals do not follow him, he has been delayed until now."

He Chen's eyes suddenly stared, and Ling Li's extreme murderous spirit penetrated Cai Mao's heart like two sharp swords. He sneered and said, "What is Liu Biao's general? Fight if you want, and surrender if you don't want to? If so, you two don't have to say anything more. Go back and tell Liu Biao that it's not that simple.

Cai Mao was looked at by He Chen and crawled all over his back in cold sweat. He hurriedly defended, "General's misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding. My lord has had the intention of obedience for a long time. I only hate that Liu Bei keeps provoking discord and blocking this matter. Moreover, this person is very good at attracting people, and Huo Jun, Wang Wei and others are also encouraged, which annoys me.

"Is that true?" He Chen looked full of suspicion.

When Cai Mao saw that He Chen's expression had been a little loose, he hurriedly added his strength and said, "That's right. It was also his idea to form an offensive and defensive alliance with Sun this time. The lord saw that he was a clan of the same clan, and he had a trace of luck, so he was moved. It's just that if today's army has arrived, it's like a broken bamboo. When I woke up, I felt that it was too late to hate. I was sent to discuss the surrender with Zirou.

"Good, in that case. The general reluctantly accepted it, but Liu Biao finally resisted the general many times, which is an indisputable fact. If he really obediently sacrificed the seven counties of Jingzhou, the death penalty could be avoided, but it was impossible for him to continue to be the Jingzhou herdsman. He was transferred back to the center, or transferred to other states. This was the only way for the general to him. Wait for the two of you to go back and talk to Liu Biao about whether to accept this transfer order or wait for Jiangling City to defeat the nine clans and choose by himself.

"This..."
