Chapter 779 Surrender on Your Initiative
Perhaps, there are a few high ones, but in that atmosphere, they can't influence anything.
Zhuge Liang thought for a long time, and slowly asked: "Does the general have an explanation, Liang is in Jingzhou, what is in charge, can he have autonomy?" ”
Zhuge Liang asked this, Wei Yan knew that he had agreed, and immediately said what Li Huiyi said.
"Mr. is in charge of political affairs, Mr. Pang is the mastermind of the military, and all political affairs are owned by Mr. alone, and no one has the right to intervene."
Li Huiyi's method can be said to have completely handed over Jingzhou to Zhuge Liang, which Zhuge Liang never expected.
Entrusted by this, Zhuge Liang's already germinated idea is even stronger, and naturally he will not refuse. "Since this is the case, Na Liang will temporarily take charge of Jingzhou."
Zhuge Liang agreed, and Wei Yan said with a smile on his face: "Okay, with Mr. here, Ben Jiang doesn't have to worry about how to settle the people, but he can let go of the field." ”
Zhuge Liang has voted, and the two of them have talked more, chatting with each other, waiting for the arrival of everyone outside.
Nanyang City suddenly changed, and Cao Cao outside the city had already learned the news, but he was blocked by the gossip array, and he couldn't do anything at all, so he could only watch.
However, Cao Cao reacted quickly, and immediately sent troops to the rest of Jingzhou's counties, wanting to take it first, and try to avoid Li Huiyi's strength.
Although in this way, it is possible that the retreat route will be isolated, but Cao Cao has no choice, and in the end, it is better to transfer these cities to Sun Ce than to be taken away by Li Huiyi.
Those families in Jingzhou, when they heard that Liu Bei was defeated in Nanyang, faced with the arrival of Cao Cao's army, did not resist at all, so they quickly opened the city and surrendered.
Cao Cao quickly occupied the remaining counties of Jingzhou, leaving only the southern counties occupied by Liu Biao, which made Wei Yan full of belligerent spirits and had nowhere to vent.
Finally, at the suggestion of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, several lines of defense were laid in Nanyang to isolate Cao Cao's back road, trying to force them to take the lead and start the war in a justifiable manner.
But Cao Cao had expected it, and did not start a war with it, but did not move, leaving the generals Cao Ren and Cheng Yu to guard, and led the rest of the people to borrow Sun Ce's territory and return to Yuzhou.
In the face of Cao Cao's tolerance, Wei Yan and others had no choice but to attack Nanyang.
Outside Nanyang City, Guan and Zhang Jiu could not be attacked, and the bad news came frequently, which made the army disheartened, even if it was forcibly suppressed, there were still many soldiers who secretly fled every day.
Guan, Zhang and others, in the face of this situation, had no mind at all, and put the unified army to attack the city, because Nanyang was lost, Liu Bei disappeared, no matter how they searched, they always found nothing.
The news transmitted from Nanyang that Liu Bei was not killed, which Guan and Zhang have confirmed to be true.
Liu Jun's camp was in the main tent, Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, Zhang Fei kept walking around, Mi Zhu and Jian Yong looked ugly and silent.
For a long time, Guan Yu, who was the leader, opened his eyes slightly and said: "The whereabouts of the eldest brother are unknown, and the morale of the army is even more sluggish day by day, so let's disperse." ”
Hearing Guan Yu's words, Mi Zhu said with a sad face: "This ...... In case the emperor comes back and there are no soldiers and horses, how should he explain it? ”
Guan Yu said slowly: "How about having soldiers and horses, how about not having soldiers and horses, does the eldest brother still have a chance, don't hide it, my third brother and I are ready to find the eldest brother to return to the mountains and forests." ”
Zhang Fei was beside him and didn't say a word, obviously what Guan Yu said was something they had already discussed, otherwise with his character, he would have jumped up a long time ago.
When Mi Zhu heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, he scattered all his family wealth, and even his sister married Liu Bei, so he wanted to exchange for today's result.
However, the facts have been created, and Mi Zhu can only endure the bitter fruit of gambling.
"General Guan has made up his mind, Zhu doesn't say anything, but these soldiers who follow the emperor's uncle to fight in the south and the north must always arrange a way out."
At this point, Guan Yu had already thought that these people could not leave Liu Bei at this time, and they could not abandon them ruthlessly and unjustly.
"As for this, my third brother and I have already considered it, you surrender to Wei Yan, you should be able to have a good home."
Surrendering Li Huiyi, Mi Zhu has no objection, after all, with the same army, he will definitely be able to have an official position, no matter how big or small, there is always hope to rise again.
Mi Zhu no longer answered, Jian Yong was also hesitant, his identity was relatively special, he was not only Liu Bei's confidant, but also a fellow villager and friend.
has followed Liu Bei over the years, although he has not enjoyed great wealth and wealth, but he is still stronger than before.
And Jian Yong also knows that he doesn't have any extraordinary talents, but he is just an ordinary person.
The choice he is facing at the moment, either to leave with Guan Yu, or to stay and surrender, and live a worry-free life in the future, where to go is very difficult for Jian Yong to choose.
After waiting for a while, seeing that no one spoke, Guan Yu knew that it was almost settled, so he stood up and walked out.
"Third brother, let's go."
"Okay."
Zhang Fei responded, glanced at everyone, and finally stopped at Jian Yong for a moment, and shook his head slightly.
Since Zhang Fei's eyes came, Jian Yong lowered his head and didn't dare to look at each other, until Zhang Fei went away, he looked up and looked at the curtain in a trance.
Seeing Jian Yong's appearance like this, Mi Zhu opened his mouth and said: "Xianhe, everyone has their own path and must have their own choice, only in this way, if they are wrong in the future, they will not complain." ”
Hearing this, Jian Yong was shocked, and it took more than ten minutes before he came to his senses. "Thank you Zizhong for your advice, Yong knows how to do it."
Jian Yong did not leave, Mi Zhu knew his choice, and his face showed a hint of joy, after all, the surrender of the gang and faction, there will be someone who can help in the future.
has already chosen to surrender, Mi Zhu did not hide it, notified the armies as early as possible, and gave them the right to choose, and left them completely at their own discretion, and never reluctantly.
When Liu Jun heard the news, no one left, on the contrary, the previous rout and escape momentum weakened, and it seemed that he surrendered to Li Jun, and these Liu Jun had already had this intention.
A few days later, Wei Yan led the army to arrive, thinking that it would take a lot of effort, but he didn't expect Liu Jun to take the initiative to surrender, so he was immediately overjoyed, and he was also polite to Mi Zhu and others.
However, Wei Yan did not leave these generals to be appointed, but sent them to Yizhou to meet Li Shu and wait for the assignment of positions.
In order to stabilize the hearts of these people, Wei Yan promised that those who went to Yizhou would be appointed, and wrote a letter of recommendation for each person.
Wei Yan's actions made these people feel a lot more at ease, and they were also very cooperative, and obediently went to Yizhou.
After receiving the remnants of Liu Bei's forces, Wei Yan did not wait much, and immediately adopted Yan Pu's strategy and let Pang Tong enter the city to persuade Liu Biao to surrender.
Liu Biao has been in very poor physical condition since he retreated to Nanjun, and he has become speechless at this time.
Knowing that the newly arrived Wei Yanchang and Liu Bei's forces sent people to come again, Wen Ping knew in his heart that he was coming to persuade him to surrender.
