Gan Ning said with a smile: "After I left Shudi, I went to Jingzhou and became a general under Liu Biao, but unfortunately Liu Biao has the ability to know people, but he has no tolerance for people, and he has been bewitched by Cai Mao, and I have always felt that I was born as a thief, and it is not good to stay in Xiangyang for a long time." Therefore, Liu Biao sent me to Jiangxia to serve as a general for Huang Zu. Later, I was defeated and captured in a battle with the current regent's army and surrendered, and in just a few years, I have become a right general, and even a person like me can become a right general, so why bother with a general like General Wu? ”

Although Gan Ning did not directly answer Wu Yi's question, he used his own facts to sue Wu Yi that as long as he surrendered, the benefits would not be less than his.

Wu Yi recalled the letter Huang Quan wrote to himself, since Huang Quan and others secretly welcomed back Liu Zhang and prepared to surrender to the Han army, even if he promised Huang Quan, the final outcome would still be to surrender to the Han army, so why didn't he surrender to the Han army here?

"What do you all think?" Wu Yi looked around at the five people present: Zhang Yi, Lei Tong, Wu Lan, Zhuo Ying, and Fei Guan.

These five people can be said to be his henchmen, even if Wu Yi himself wants to surrender, he will definitely not speak before he understands the attitudes of Zhang Yi, Lei Tong, Wu Lan, Zhuo Ying, Fei Guan and others.

Zhang Yi, Lei Tong, Wu Lan, Zhuo Ying, and Fei Guan are all generals who have followed Wu Yi for many years, and they are also Wu Yi's close friends, so the information that Wu Yi received, the five of them all know it, and they all know what the shape is now, and they also know it very well in their hearts.

So, I saw Zhang Yi, Lei Tong, Wu Lan, Zhuo Ying, Fei Guan and others standing up together, and they all bowed their hands to Wu Yi. said in unison: "I'll wait for a general to look at the horse." ”

Wu Yi's face showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time. That's what he wants. This shows that the five lieutenants under him all agree with him and are willing to surrender to the Han army.

Wu Yi turned his face and glanced at Lu Kai and Wang Yan again, and asked, "I already plan to officially surrender to the Han army, if the two adults are willing to surrender to the Han army, they will stay." If I don't want to, I'll send you off, and I won't hurt the lives of the two adults. ”

Lu Kai and Wang Yan looked at each other, the two exchanged glances, and both arched their hands and said, "We are also looking at the general's horse." ”

Wu Yi nodded, then stood up, walked in front of Gan Ning, and bowed respectfully to Gan Ning: "General Gan, Wu Yi is willing to lead the people to surrender to the court!" ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he was naturally very happy. He laughed out loud and grabbed Wu Yi's hand. said: "Brother Ziyuan, Yizhou is the land of the Han Dynasty, but in recent years, the control power of the imperial court has declined, which has given Liu Zhang's father and son a gap to divide Yizhou. Brother Ziyuan is very familiar with Liu's father and son, I think Brother Ziyuan should also know that Liu's father and son have a heart of disobedience, right? This time, you return to the arms of the imperial court, and the imperial court will naturally not treat you badly. In front of the regent, I will definitely say a few kind words for my brother. ”

"Thank you, General Kim. It's just that I have a doubt......"

"Brother Ziyuan, please speak!"

"Now outside the county town of Yandao, there are 100,000 Yi rebels, they are from Nanzhong, it stands to reason that after I surrender, the military power should be handed over to General Gan, and it is only right that General Gan can be transferred. It's just that now that the enemy is present, I hope that General Gan will try not to transfer the soldiers and horses here, so as not to enter the rebels and Yizhou will suffer. ”

Gan Ning said: "Brother Ziyuan, don't worry, I won't mobilize any troops, and the troops here are still under your command." The purpose of my visit this time is to persuade Brother Ziyuan to surrender, and the second is to prepare to stop the pace of the rebels in Nanzhong here. Not only will I not transfer a single soldier from Brother Ziyuan, but I will also increase the army here to defend against the rebels in Nanzhong. The Han army, under the leadership of the cavalry general Zhang Liao, is rushing towards this place non-stop, and if nothing else, it should arrive here in three days. Therefore, at present, the defense of Yandao County still depends on the army of Brother Ziyuan. As long as you hold Yandao County and do not let the rebels in Nanzhong enter the country, after the Han army has eliminated Zhang Fei, all the reinforcements will be sent here, ready to quell the rebellion in Nanzhong, and let the rebels in Nanzhong know that our Han people are powerful. ”

When Wu Yi heard Gan Ning say this, a big stone in his heart fell, and he arched his hand towards Gan Ning and said: "General Gan, from today on, I will hand over the army to you, and you will command the battle......"

"Nope! The army is still led by yourself, they have followed you for many years, and they should only obey your orders, if the commander changes temporarily, I am afraid that your soldiers will not buy it, but will make a mistake. In the past three days, you are still their general, and I will assist you wholeheartedly on the side, hoping that we will work together to repel the attack of the rebels in Nanzhong. Gan Ning said.

Wu Yi was very grateful to Gan Ning, but he didn't expect Gan Ning to be such a person who took care of the overall situation. And the fact is just as Gan Ning said, Wu Yi's subordinates only obey Wu Yi's orders, if they are replaced by Gan Ning, I am afraid that his soldiers will not buy it. At first, Wu Yi also had such worries, but he didn't dare to say it, but since he had surrendered, if he didn't hand over the military power, he was afraid that Gan Ning would doubt his sincerity, so he would take the initiative to let Gan Ning command his army and assist himself.

But now, it seems that there is no such worry, he is still the actual commander of the army.

At this time, Wu Yi suddenly turned his head and glanced at Wang Yan, and said bluntly: "Lord Wang, I agree to the trick you said before, you can go back and arrange it, when the time comes, we will attack back and forth, we must eliminate this group of rebels in Nanzhong, and let the rebels in Nanzhong see the strength of our Han army." ”

Wang Yan nodded and arched his hand: "Without further ado, then I will go back now and tell Meng Shu that the general is willing to surrender." ”

"Go ahead."

There was no time to reminisce, everyone in the city entered a state of imminent battle, Wu Yi was even more busy giving orders, and ordered the standard-bearers to play flags to the army on the mountain, and the generals stationed on the high mountains on both sides were Lu Yi and Gao Xiang.

Lu Yi and Gao Xiang are both old generals in Shu, but both of them are from Jingzhou, and they entered Shu because they escaped the war, but they have not been reused. After Zhang Fei replaced Liu Zhang, he was recommended by Wu Yi to become a subordinate general, responsible for commanding soldiers and horses.

This time, the two each led 5,000 soldiers and horses, ambushed in the mountains on both sides of the county, according to Wu Yi's instructions, laid down layers of defensive traps, Nanzhong rebels A Huilan, Dong Dana, Jinhuan Sanjie and others led the army to prepare to cross this mountain, because of the ambush by Lu Yi and Gao Xiang, and finally defeated and returned, heavy losses.

When Wu Yi ordered the flag bearer to play the flag in the city, the flag commander under Lu Yi and Gao Xiang immediately reported the information received to Lu Yi and Gao Xiang. The two of them then began to follow the plan, actively deploy their troops, prepare themselves, and cooperate with Wu Yi's actions in the city at any time.

On the other hand, Wang Yan came out of the town of Yandao unharmed, while Meng Yu was a little impatient waiting outside the city, and when he saw Wang Yan come out, he was slightly angry and asked, "Why did you go for so long?" ”

Wang Yan said: "Wu Yi is stubborn, very stubborn, and particularly stupid and loyal, if it weren't for my three-inch tongue and some bitter persuasion, I'm afraid that Wu Yi will not surrender, so it will be a little longer in time, and please bear with the king." ”

"Then whether Wu Yi surrendered or not? If he doesn't surrender, in a quarter of an hour, I will launch a fierce attack, I don't believe it, I pounce on the county town with 80,000 troops, how long can he resist? Meng Yu said anxiously.

"King, please be calm, then Wu Yi has already agreed to surrender under my persuasion. It won't take long for Wu Yi to personally lead the soldiers out of the city to greet the king's drive and officially surrender to the king! However, Wu Yi has one condition! ”

"On what terms?" Meng Shu asked.

"Wu Yi needs a surrender ceremony, only in this way will he be willing to surrender, and he also wants the king to immediately crown him as the second king, and inform the entire Nanzhong!" Wang Yan said.

Meng Huo laughed and said: "What's so difficult about this, as long as he is willing to surrender, he can say anything." However, I don't know exactly how to do this surrender ceremony. ”

The king said, "My lord, this surrender ceremony will be handed over to me, and then the king only needs to go to see it as I instruct." However, it may take half a day to prepare for this surrender ceremony, which means that we will not be able to enter the city until tomorrow morning. ”

"So long? When the time comes, the old boy Wu Yi won't change his hexagram, right? Meng was suspicious.

"Although the king can rest assured, with my understanding of Wu Yi, since Wu Yi has agreed to surrender, he will definitely not regret it. Moreover, I also got an important news from Wu Yi, and I think this news should be helpful to the king. Wang Yan said.

"What's the news?" Meng Yu's eyes suddenly released a glimmer of light, in his opinion, this important news of Wang Yan must be extraordinary.

"The Han army has begun to attack Zhang Fei, and now Zhang Fei is confronting the Han army in the Sword Pavilion, in addition, the other way of the Han army has captured Ba County, and even the counties in the Chengdu area have begun to plot rebellion, which shows that Zhang Fei has gone, and at this time, it is the most chaotic time in Yizhou, and it is also the best time for the king to compete for Yizhou. It is precisely because of this that Wu Yi is willing to find a new backer, and the king has become his new target. ”

"In that case, we must take Chengdu as soon as possible, otherwise, the Han army will be cheaper." Meng Shoudao.

Wang Yan smiled sadly on the side, and that smile was fleeting...... (To be continued......)
