When Liu Cong learned that the Wei army had broken through the two defense lines of Nanyang and Xiangyang and came straight to Jiangling, he was completely collapsed.

"Nanyang County Magistrate Zhang Yun and Xiangyang Mag surrendered without fighting! And block the news to me! I can't even learn that the Wei army has arrived in Xiangyang and is preparing to go south! King! I am guilty!"

Kuai Yue cried in front of Liu Cong, tears streaming down his face, his face full of snot, and he didn't even wipe it, which was completely in line with his past style of cleanliness.

So even Han Song, who came to pay homage after hearing the news, was stunned.

Now that things have come to this point, it is meaningless to discuss who is right and who is wrong.

No one expected that Zhang Yun and Cai Mao would actually hit him without shooting an arrow.

They were really so straightforward and so direct, without leaving any face for Liu Cong. They did not fight in a battle between the 20,000 defenders in Nanyang and the 5,000 defenders in Xiangyang. No one died. The complete Nanyang and Xiangyang fell into the control of the Wei army.

All the strategic materials, all the grain reserves in Nanyang and Xiangyang, and all the people and lands could be used in war, as well as all the population and land, fell into the control of the Wei army intact.

All efforts made by Liu Biao to resist the Wei army's southward movement during his lifetime became an effort to contribute to the Wei army's southward movement.

The Wei army did not die in a single battle, and then obtained the intact Nanyang County and Xiangyang City. By the way, they ate the rice and grain of Jingzhou and drank the hot water of Jingzhou. On the basis of Jingzhou people's helping to carry out logistics, they easily headed south to Jiangling and headed straight to the heart of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao's efforts were actually preparing military supplies for the Wei army to go south to Jiangling!

Liu Cong was stunned and could not believe it at all. He could not believe that Cai Mao, who supported him ascended the throne, would betray him.

Mrs. Cai is still in Jiangling City.

Mrs. Cai, who he regarded as his mother, was still in Jiangling City, and his sister was still in Jiangling City. Cai Mao was really not worried at all?

Or does Cai Mao have ignored Mrs. Cai’s life and death?

Liu Cong's brain was blank.

Han Song advocated resistance and strongly demanded resistance, saying that Dangyang County north of Jiangling had not been lost, and generals could be sent to Dangyang to guard and fight for time.

Then Liu Cong could cross the river and go south to the south, and then send naval generals to lead Jingzhou naval troops to resist along the bank of the Yangtze River to block the Wei army from moving south.

"The Wei navy was weak. He had fought with the Jiangdong navy before and was defeated seven times. It can be seen that his army was not good at water battles, while our army was good at water battles and was happy about water battles. Since Nanyang and Xiangyang were lost, Jingbei would definitely not be able to defend. However, the current plan is to retreat to Jingnan and defend across the river!"

Han Song actively provided advice for Liu Cong, trying to help Liu Cong build confidence.

He strongly suggested that Liu Cong seize the weakness of the Wei army's inability to be good at water warfare, and use the advantages of the Jingzhou Navy to defend along the river, so that the Wei army could not cross the river and gain time.

General Wang Wei also actively advised Liu Cong, trying to build confidence for Liu Cong, and expressed that he was willing to go to war and was willing to lead troops to Dangyang to buy time.

General Su Fei also expressed his willingness to lead troops to protect the Yangtze River defense line and protect Liu Cong.

General Huo Jun of the Central Army also submitted a statement saying that he was willing to lead troops to fight with the Wei army, defend Dangyang, and protect Liu Cong.

The three generals expressed their willingness to resist, but more people were unwilling to resist and actively persuaded Liu Cong to surrender.

The chief clerk Liu Xian advised Liu Cong not to fight hard, but should surrender immediately.

His reason is also very simple.

"It is unwise to fight against a country with the power of a state. In the Han Dynasty, Wei State has four-fifths of its territory, with millions of troops, with strong generals and strategists as rain. With most of the world as its confidence, if one battle fails, there will be World War II and Three.

At present, Jingzhou has only 50,000 soldiers, and it is hard to support it. The people of Jingzhou have just passed the rebellion of the rebel Zhang Xian. They are poor and weak and unable to support this battle. If they continue to fight to the death, they will only die and destroy the country. I ask the king to investigate."

Dongcao clerk Fu Xun also very much supported Liu Xian's view.

"The Wei State unifies the world is already the general trend. It is too difficult for the king to compete with the power of a state. Wei State has a million troops, and the Emperor of Wei is deeply loved by the people. People's hearts are no longer in the Han Dynasty. Forcing them to go against the will of heaven is just a futile. I would like to ask the king to observe clearly!"

Not only these two people, except for Han Song, Wang Wei, Su Fei and Huo Jun, almost all civil and military officials showed panic.

They strongly supported the views of Liu Xian, Fu Xun and others, believing that surrender was the right path and that continuing to fight against the Wei army would be invincible, and it would only increase casualties.

They strongly demanded that Liu Cong surrender, firmly opposed the resistance opinions of Han Song and four others, and expressed their attitude that they would not support Liu Cong's resistance.

Liu Cong's face turned pale after being frightened.

Han Song was furious and talked about his ministers. He debated with them, and the debate was comparable to them.

But there are very few people who are willing to resist. In the face of the general trend, there are too few people who are willing to resist and too many people who are willing to surrender in the face of the general trend.

Liu Cong saw this and was anxious about it. Soon, his heart became cold.

He began to realize that resistance was no longer the best choice.

So he looked at Kuai Yue, the hero who supported him.

Kuai Yue felt Liu Cong's gaze and lowered his head.

"King, the general trend of the world cannot be disobeyed by individuals. The unification of Wei State is already very obvious. If the king insists on resisting, Sun Quan's fate is a lesson from the past. If he surrenders, he will definitely be treated preferentially. I think that the king should not resist and Jingnan is not a place to support it for a long time."

If Kuai Yue doesn’t support it, Liu Cong will be really desperate.

"Is it really impossible for me, Han family, to save me?"

Liu Cong looked at the civil and military officials in despair.

No one answered him.

Han Song was also very sad and angry about this.

"You villains! Are you watching the Lord be humiliated without any action? Eat the Lord's fortune and share your worries! Are you shameless when you surrender with all your heart?"

Although Han Song strongly called for resistance and strongly demanded resistance, he could not reverse the will of most people. Instead, he was attacked by a group of people and slandered him as a ulterior motive.

Although Wang Wei and Su Fei were willing to resist and were willing to lead troops north to fight the Wei army, they could not get the guarantee of sending troops in the face of the ministers who were unwilling to contribute.

No one is willing to supervise the transportation of food and grass for them, no one is willing to raise military supplies for them, and no one is willing to help them with logistics, so this battle cannot be fought at all.

As a representative who has just succeeded to the throne and has no prestige, Liu Cong even has no way to implement his own will to resist.

He is not a king, and no one wants to obey his orders, and these people are qualified to not obey his orders and not do things for him.

This is Liu Cong's sorrow, and it is also the sadness represented by him, and it is also the greatest thunder that Liu Xiu laid on his descendants.

Faced with power, the Han clans who abide by the rules had no power to resist.

Now that things have come to this point, Liu Cong is completely desperate.

"What should I do? What else can I do? Kuai Qing, tell me."

Liu Cong looked at Kuai Yue with some collapse.

"Only, the only way to ask the king to order the army to remove armor and put down the weapons. The king handed over the seal and ribbon himself, carried the coffin, and waited for the Wei army to come and surrender. The Wei army would definitely not make things difficult for the king, but would treat the king well and ensure that the stability of Jingzhou would not be harmed."

Seeing Kuai Yue seriously describing how he should surrender, Liu Cong suddenly understood a little.

These guys are clearly in one mind, and they surrender in the front and threaten themselves to surrender in the back.

They don’t want their interests to be damaged in the slightest!

But now that things have come to this point, what can he do when facing the Erwuzi of the Manying camp?
