Chapter 166 Surrender (the end of the explosion, ask for a monthly ticket
Quanling, the capital of Lingling County, should have been a safe place as a rear, but at this moment it was covered with a cloud of war.
"General!" The soldiers holding the archer at the city gate saw Wei Yan coming over and struggled to get up and salute.
"Go into the city and find someone to treat the injury!" Wei Yan turned over and dismounted, looked at the wound on the soldier's arm, and smiled and said, "I'm lucky, I didn't hurt my bones."
"Thank you, General!"
The sound of fighting in the city did not stop, but it had gradually subsided, and the flag at the top of the city was replaced by Liu Bei's big banner. Wei Yan knew that the battle was over.
"I heard that Lingling has many soldiers and horses, why is there only these people in this huge city?" Wei Yan looked at the military marquis beside him with some confusion.
"Maybe it was because he heard the general's reputation and fled without fighting." Junhou complimented with a smile.
"Hey, where did I get my reputation?" Wei Yan shook his head and said, "Let's go and meet the prefect Liu Du."
"Here!"
Liu Du's yamen office has not been captured yet, and there are still hundreds of soldiers in the yamen office fighting stubbornly, but it is already at the end of the force. When Wei Yan brought his men, his troops had already attacked the yamen office. Liu Du was dragged to Wei Yan like a dog that was dragged to death.
The prefect of a county was dragged out like a dead dog at this moment. Facing Wei Yan, his body was like a sieve, and he knelt in front of Wei Yan: "General, spare my life!"
"It's not difficult to spare you." Wei Yan found a blank bamboo slip from the main hall of the yamen and threw it in front of Liu Du and said, "Write all the clans in Lingling County on it."
This was the most important order that Liu Yi gave to Wei Yan, which was to find the leaders of these sect thieves, seize their talents, collect their land, and collect their people. This matter could not be done after the war. There was no excuse at that time. Now it was different. Wei Yan was justified in killing them, and it was not just Lingling County that was empty behind. The power of those sect thieves is now concentrated around Liu Xian to confront Liu Yi. It was also the most empty time. Wei Yan came just right at this time.
"This..." Liu Du hesitated and looked at Wei Yan and said, "What does the general mean?"
"I have my own reason, the prefect doesn't want to?" Wei Yan turned his head and looked at Liu Du and said.
"I am willing, I am willing." Liu Du was helpless. I was a fisherman for the sake of the sword and I would not be able to bow my head.
Liu Du hesitated for a moment and began to write.
Wei Yan suddenly took out a piece of silk and looked at Liu Du with a sneer and said, "My husband has given me a list. I'll ask you to write it today, which is to give you a chance to survive. The prefect should take it well and don't force me to kill you."
Liu Du's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and he glanced at the silk in Wei Yan's hand. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, it was related to his life. Liu Du did not dare to joke about his life, and began to write quickly silently.
After writing for a quarter of an hour, Liu Du trembledly handed the bamboo paper to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan had no comparison and said directly to the general: "Press him down first, and wait for the lord to fall down in the future, and the others will follow me!"
"Here!"
Liu Du stared at Wei Yan's back in a daze, and a bitterness arose in his heart. He knew that he had been cheated, and Wei Yan probably had no list at all, he was just cheating him.
The killing did not stop with the attack of Quanling. Instead, the clouds of war began to spread to the entire Lingling County. At the same time, the news of Quanling being breached quickly reached the front line.
"What!?" In Zhaoling City, Liu Xian suddenly stood up and looked at the person who came to report the news with a ugly expression.
"Quanling was destroyed and the prefect was captured. The general of Liu Bei's army was taking advantage of the fact that all the sect commanders were here to wipe out all the sect commanders." The person who came to report the message said weakly.
Pooh ~
Liu Xian sat down on the ground powerlessly and looked ahead in distractedly. Xing Daorong stood aside, not knowing how to comfort him, but the other generals frowned slightly, each with their own thoughts.
"Young master, withdraw your troops!" A general looked at Liu Xian carefully and said, "The Liu Yi's surprise attack on Quanling must not have much force. When we return to the rescue at this time, we may be able to rescue the Duke."
Generally, there will not be too many surprise troops and horses, and the transportation of food and grass cannot keep up, and it is not convenient to hide the traces.
"How could Liu Yi let me go!" Liu Xian's brain suddenly seemed to have a lot of enlightenment at this moment: "I only realized that Liu Yi had just settling a camp here but did not attack. It turned out that he was waiting for this moment. If I retreated at this moment, Liu Yi would definitely pursue him. Who would be willing to stay and cut off the rear?"
this……
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other and closed their mouths at the same time. Xing Daorong opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Liu Xian with his eyes. He knew very well that only Xing Daorong was really loyal to the generals around him. As for the others, seeing that the Liu family has lost power, it is hard to say what thoughts they have in their hearts.
"General!" A small school suddenly broke in and bowed to Liu Xian and said, "Then Liu Yi is dividing his troops to attack the two camps."
"Split the troops to attack? Then Liu Yi is crazy?" Xing Daorong frowned and said, "How many troops do Liu Yi have to attack?
"Go and have a look." Liu Xian stood up with the table. The worst result had already happened, and he was not afraid of worse situations.
A group of generals surrounded Liu Xian and came to the city wall. Looking into the distance, they could see Liu Bei's troops lined up outside the camp in the north, but did not attack the city. They just sent archers to shoot arrows outside the camp, and some people were shouting, but what they said was too far away to see clearly.
Liu Xian took his men to the other city wall and looked at another camp. The same was true.
"Young Master, what are they doing?" Xing Daorong asked in a low voice.
Liu Xian shook his head and saw that the other party had no intention of attacking the camp, he said to Xing Daorong: "Send someone to see what they are doing?"
"Here!" Xing Daorong agreed when he heard this, turned around and arranged for someone to investigate.
After a while, the detective who went to find out the information came back and bowed to Liu Xian and said, "General, the enemy is surrendering, saying that the rear has been captured and Zhaoling has become an isolated city. In addition, the arrows they shot into the city have no clusters of arrows, and bamboo papers are tied on them, which should be the surrender letter."
Sure enough, the other party will not give up easily!
Liu Xian clenched his fists tightly, then slowly let go. At that moment, Liu Xian, who was only thirty years old, seemed to have suddenly become ten years older.
Xing Daorong looked at Liu Xian worriedly: "Young master, why don't I lead my army out to drive them away?"
Liu Xian pointed to the well-arranged formation in the distance and smiled bitterly: "Those people are most likely waiting for us to attack."
The previous few battles have proved with facts that these county soldiers in Lingling are no opponents of others at all, and the other party has long been wary of their troops.
"Then we must not help!" Xing Daorong said anxiously.
"Save?" Liu Xian shook his head, looked at the direction of the military camp opposite, and shook his head, "Maybe there is no need for me to wait to save him."
It is indeed not useful. That night, a thief opened the gate of the village and took the initiative to surrender to Liu Yi. Some people fled back to Lingling directly, wanting to find out. The next day, at least half of the troops in the two camps were reduced, and the number was still decreasing. Without Liu Xian's constraints, fewer and fewer people could guard the military camp.
I originally thought it was a wonderful move, but now it seems that it has bound me.
Three days later, Liu Yi successfully captured two camps without bloodshed, and then led his troops to surround Zhaoling, but did not attack. Liu Yi divided the troops and horses and was commanded by Guan Ping, bypassed Zhaoling, entered Lingling, and cooperated with Wei Yan to speed up the clearance of Lingling.
"Young Master, there is not much food left in the city. Before, Gouan and Fu Shou wanted to open the city to surrender, but were beheaded by the last general!" Three days later, Xing Daorong came to the yamen office, looked at Liu Xian, and bowed.
In less than ten days, Liu Xian lost weight, and had a lot of white hair on his head, and his whole body looked a lot more vicissitudes.
"I thought that Liu Yi was able to conquer Changsha was just luck." Liu Xian looked at Xing Daorong and smiled bitterly: "Now it seems that I underestimated the heroes of the world."
I originally thought that if I had done it myself, I thought that with Xing Daorong's courage, even if he met Guan Yu, Zhang Fei's such a mighty general would not be inferior. But the fact is that he had never even seen Liu Yi before, and he was tortured by Liu Yi several times, and most of the losses were lost to the troops under his command. Xing Daorong even had Guan Yu's son tied, let alone Guan Yu.
"Report~"
A small school suddenly rushed in and shouted anxiously at Liu Xian and Xing Daorong: "General, big things are not good, General Cheng rebelled and is taking the lead in trying to break out of the city at this moment."
"Bent him!" Xing Daorong was furious when he heard this. He picked up his battle axe and ran out. Liu Xian wanted to stop him, but he couldn't stop him.
General Cheng was not a powerful figure. In just a short while, Xing Daorong walked in with General Cheng's head covered in blood and reported to Liu Xian.
"The food and grass in the city have been exhausted. If this continues, it will be only a matter of time before the city is destroyed." Liu Xian looked at Xing Daorong and smiled bitterly, "You go out of the city on my behalf and go to Liu Yi's camp."
"Young Master, you..." Xing Daorong looked at Liu Xian and said, "There are still three thousand soldiers in my city, so it may not be impossible to defend!"
"Can't be able to defend it anymore." Liu Xian sighed and said, "Go and tell Liu Yi that as long as you don't kill my father and son, Xian is willing to surrender."
"Young Master!" Xing Daorong looked at Liu Xian unwillingly.
"Go." Liu Xian waved his hand tiredly.
Xing Daorong sighed, bowed to Liu Xian, then walked out with great strides, rode directly, called to open the city gate, and ran towards Liu Yi's military camp.
"Is Liu Du still alive?" After hearing Xing Daorong's conditions, Liu Yi didn't mind letting go, but... Wei Yan didn't kill anyone, right?
"Sir, Liu Du is now being imprisoned in Quanling Prison." Huang Zhong nodded. In fact, after surrounding Zhaoling, Liu Yi had already entrusted Huang Zhong with all the things in the army to cook, so he did not know much about the current situation.
"I asked General Xing to go back and tell Mr. Liu that Yi has no intention of harming him. The emperor's uncle is spread all over the world in the name of benevolence and virtue. We have no rules to kill and surrender. Please rest assured, but you can't let you go. If you are willing to surrender, I am willing to recommend you to the emperor's uncle." Liu Yi looked at Xing Daorong and smiled.
"Thank you, I'll say goodbye." Xing Daorong didn't say much, and he turned around and left after receiving Liu Yi's reply.
"It's quite aloof." Liu Yi smiled and shook his head, and said to Huang Zhong: "Prepare to take over the city."
"Sir, will there be any fraud?" Huang Zhong said uncertainly.
"It shouldn't be, but be careful. Be prepared when you surrender." Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, and still felt that it would be better to be more sane. If it weren't for the importance of surrender, he had to come forward in person, otherwise, he really didn't want to accept surrender personally.
