The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms - Vol 10 Chapter 307

“Dare to ask the general, what is the countermeasure?”

These people are Zhang Xun’s confidants. At this time, Zhang Xun no longer hides them from them, so he said, “My solution is to surrender.”

The army generals looked at each other.

Zhang Xun asked, “Why, don’t you want to?”

The generals fell to the ground in unison, and said in unison, “Only the general’s orders are obeyed!”

However, they all had the intention of surrendering to Xun Zhen.

The reason why Zhang Xun and his generals wanted to surrender to Xun Zhen, for no other reason, can only blame Yuan Shu’s continuous stupor.

He did not listen to Yang Hong’s repeated good advice and advice, instead believing in Li Ye’s stupid strategies, and killed Shu Shao, who was loyal to him, and drove Yang Hong away. Now, Nanyang is no longer able to defend. .

In the past, in the fight against Liu Biao, although the stalemate, at least the interests of Zhang Xun and others were not harmed, and they had a good life in Nanyang, at least some of them had ambitions, and it was not easy to realize their ambitions.

But this is not the case now. In the case of Nanyang without reinforcements, it seems that no one can hold it. Both, Xun Zhen came down to represent the imperial court. If they were captured because of stubborn resistance, then it is possible that not only they themselves would fall. If they die, their families will also be implicated. In this case, of course, it is better to let them down than to let them go—and also, Xun Zhen has a reputation for generosity. The most recent Jia Xu, Duan Xun, Yang Feng, etc., after surrendering to him, all have to be reused. Based on this, Zhang Xun believes that with his clan and personal reputation, after surrendering to Xun Zhen, it is not comparable to him. Jia Xu waited, it wouldn’t be too bad.

Seeing that all the generals agreed to surrender, Zhang Xun was overjoyed, and said to the generals: “Although we have never fought against the chariots, we have been an enemy country with Liu Jingsheng for a long time. If you lose your wealth, you must first give a big gift and ride a car.”

A wise person guessed what Zhang Xun meant, looked at Bowang County to the north, and said, “What is the general thinking?”

Zhang Xun stroked his beard and smiled, and said, “That’s what I meant!”

“But in the city there is a long history governor, a man who is loyal to the long history. If you want to dedicate the city, it may not be easy.”

Zhang Xun glanced at this general, what is a “Long Shi Zhongjie”? What does this mean! Are you saying that Zhang Xun is a rebel? Only at the critical moment of surrender, but he didn’t care about this general, so he just pretended not to hear this, and told the generals his plan again. When the generals heard it, they all praised it.

So on the same day, Zhang Xun sent his chief clerk, secretly to the Xunzhen camp in the north of the city, and asked to see Xunzhen.

His master was not close to Xun Zhen’s vast camp, which was captured by the rangers, and the master hurriedly revealed his intentions. The rangers separated several men and escorted him to the camp. After waiting for a long time, Xun Zhen summoned him. After the master book was searched, he entered the tent and did not dare to look around, so he bowed down and saluted.

Xun Zhen called him up.

This master book, 1510, reported Zhang Xun’s desire to surrender to Xun Zhen, and also presented a letter written by Zhang Xun.

Xun Zhen read Zhang Xun’s letter, and seeing that the words in the letter were extremely respectful, she said to the bookkeeper with a pleasant face: “I am very relieved that Zhang Gong has come back. I have long admired the name of Zhang Gong. If it is possible to offer, then offer it, if it is not easy to offer, please invite Zhang Gong to lead the troops to my camp, please don’t take risks, I am waiting for a big deal with Zhang Gong!”

The chief clerk took the orders and returned to Zhang Xun’s camp without stopping, reporting Xun Zhen’s statement back to Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun was very moved, sighed with the generals, and said, “The chariot and the cavalry are more concerned about our safety than the hope of the future. I am so grateful for such kindness! Are you still not doing your best?”

All the generals said in unison: “I would like to die for the generals! Take Po Wang to offer chariots and horses.”

Zhang Xun then led his troops out of the camp to Bowang County.

Bowang City was surrounded by Xun Zhen clan on all sides. To the south of the city, after a fight, Zhang Xun led his troops to the outside of the city, and his own soldiers shouted for the suspension bridge and the opening of the city gate. Yang Hong and others had seen him at the top of the city, and had already sent troops out to respond, and the suspension bridge was lowered. All the generals under Zhang Xun’s tent took their prepared stalwarts to cross the suspension bridge from Zhang Xun and enter the city. Yang Hong waited for Zhang Xun to come to Xiacheng.

But they met twice, Yang Hong and the others didn’t say anything, Zhang Xun ordered Zuo Jin: “What are you waiting for!”

Before Yang Hong could react, Zhang Xun’s personal soldiers took him. The generals under Zhang Xun’s account and the elite soldiers they brought with them killed the guards who had brought Yang Hong and others down from the city, and blocked the city gate. The drums were pounding outside, like rolling thunder. Xun Zhen, who was in a **** battle with Zhang Xun just now, and Zhang Xun’s troops who were still outside the city actually cooperated and rushed into the city!

Only then did Yang Hong know that Zhang Xun had already surrendered to Xun Zhen.

Zhang Xun’s “Fighting and Coming” just now was just a play with Xun Zhen’s group, just to deceive the city gate.

Yang Hong was furious and struggled, pointing his halberd at Zhang Xun, and angrily said: “You, you, you! Shuzi is begging for glory on the back of the Lord!”

Zhang Xun still respected Yang Hong very much. He ordered Yang Hong to be released from the left and right, bowed to Yang Hong, and said, “The long history has repeatedly offered good advice, but General Zuo is reluctant to obey, and he only believes in Li Ye’s flattery! Shu! So Shao died innocently, Nanyang is today. Guo Si has surrendered to Liu Biao, the right general has no hope of reinforcements, the **** Zhao Yue and his like, and if they know how to go, the wise men of long history, how can they not know that Nanyang is no longer guarded? The attack was greeted by the people of Nanyang, and I secretly thought that the only way to do this today is to obey the people. The talent of the long history, Shengxun ten times? It will definitely be used as a chariot!”

Yang Hong said angrily: “Although General Zuo listened to Li Ye’s slander for a while, but General Zuo treated me like a mountain. If you want me to surrender, you must not!”

The city where Ji Ling and Yang Hong went down together were also captured. Ji Ling saw the change in function, and he said in a row without a mouthful: “I am willing to fall! I am willing to fall!”

Zhang Xun no longer told Yang Hongduo, seeing that the troops of Xunzhen’s clan entering the city had already controlled the city gate, and his clan and them did not know each other. All the officers and soldiers of the headquarters were ordered to withdraw from the city.

In the far south of the garrison city, Zhang Xun overlooked the city.

Although Yang Hong and Ji Ling were captured, Le was still in the city, and there were as many as three or four thousand defenders in the city. Among them, there would always be those like Yang Hong who would not surrender. Therefore, even though Xun Zhen had already entered the city, However, if you want to completely control the city, a battle is still indispensable. The sound of killing keeps coming, and the fire is everywhere. The street fighting in the city is not over until around the evening.

More than ten horses came, and the leader was a general, wearing armor and a spear, more than eight feet long, extremely majestic, wearing a seal that was more than two thousand stone, and he did not know whether he was a captain of the cavalry, or a captain of the school. Or a middle-ranking general who asked loudly, “Which one is General Zhang?”

Zhang Xun hurried to meet him, and replied, “Next Zhang Xun.”

This will take Zhang Xun’s eyes and say, “I, Xu Chu, have been ordered to ride a chariot. Please come and see me.”

Xunzhen’s guard is called “Tiger Warrior”. There are two guards in charge, one is Dian Wei and the other is Xu Chu. Both of them have the courage to be unreasonable. Dian Wei is good at using the halberd. “There is a strong man under the account, Dianjun, who carries a pair of halberds and eighty catties.” Xu Chu was brave and loyal, and was called a “tiger idiot” by Xun Zhen. Zhang Xun knew these things. He secretly exclaimed that Guo was a tiger general, and said. : “The general is Duke Tiger? I have long admired the great name, and I have long admired the great name!”

“Come with me.”

Zhang Xun was busy getting on the horse, and ordered the generals to watch the soldiers and horses. He only brought seven or eight slaves to ride, and escorted the two great treasures, Yang Hong and Ji Ling, and followed Xu Chu and others to see Xun Zhen.

He went around the south of the city, reached the north of the city, and entered Xunzhen’s camp, where he saw Xunzhen in the tent.

Zhang Xun and Ji Ling bowed down and saluted, and Yang Hong stood proudly.

Xu Chu reprimanded: “You dare not bow down when you see a chariot and a horse?”

In terms of length units in later generations, the current eight feet is about one meter nine, Xu Chu is more than one meter nine tall, Yang Hong and Cao Cao are similar in height, only seven feet, only more than one meter six, which is more than two heads lower than Xu Chu. It was almost the height of his chest and abdomen, and with Xu Chu’s big waist, Yang Hong was like a bear and a tiger compared to a sheep and a rabbit, but Yang Hong was stunned, not afraid.

“Ah Chu, don’t be rude.” Xun Zhen stopped Xu Chu, then asked Zhang Xun and Ji Ling to stand up, and said with a smile, “Today I don’t like to win Bo Wang, but I do like the two generals! It’s easy to get, but it’s hard to find a good scholar! Today, I have two generals, and Nanyang He Zuan is also!”

“He Zu’an”, not “He Zucu”, has two meanings.

The first meaning is that Xun Zhen has regarded Nanyang as something in his pocket, even if Zhang Xun and Ji Ling did not come to come, he can still get Nanyang, so he did not say “what is enough”. The first meaning is that after the capture of Nanyang, I hope to use the abilities of Zhang Xun and Ji Ling to help him to appease Nanyang, because he said “He Zu’an”, which can be regarded as an indirect promise to Zhang Xun and Ji Ling. something.

Zhang Xun and Ji Ling heard Xun Zhen’s words, and they both felt at ease.

Xun Zhen looked at Yang Hong and said with a smile, “Is that Yang Jun under your feet? He has been famous for a long time, I’ll see you sooner! It’s a pleasure to meet you today! You are also a thief! I have been ordered by the king to punish him, and I am the only one to blame. You have always been benevolent and loving the people, and you are not like Yuan Shu. In the future, you want to use your power to appease the county. , raise your lord to show your office.”

“Humph! General Zuo is the prefect of Nanyang appointed by the imperial court. You pretend to be the king’s order, and you are in the realm of bandits for no reason. If you say no to you, who is wrong? You are the real thief! I am stupid and I dare not forget the word loyalty and righteousness! Martyrs don’t care about the second master, don’t treat me with Zhang Xun and Ji Ling!”

Ji Ling also respected Yang Hong a lot, worried that Xun Zhen would kill him in a fit of rage, so he hurriedly stopped him and yelled, “Chang Shi! Chang Shi!”

Xun Zhen was not annoyed, she just smiled and ordered Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others to take him down temporarily.

Dian Wei was annoyed by his rude remarks. After taking Yang Hong out of the tent, he and Xu Chu each kicked him a few times.

……

Zhang Xun and Ji Ling surrendered, and Le was killed by the rebels and died in the city. Bowang was overcome. Following the military report the next day, Liu Hu and Kuaiyue finally captured Chaoyang and began to march towards Xinye. , and got Zang Ba’s military report, reporting to Xun Zhen that his troops and horses had reached Anzhong, – Anzhong is in the northwest of Xinye. After passing through this place, not long ago, Xun Zhen ordered Zang Ba and ordered him to divide his troops to go to Anzhong. He didn’t have to conquer the city, he only needed to hold the surrounding arteries. The intention here was to prevent Liu After Hu, Kuaiyue, etc. had conquered Xinye, they would then occupy other counties. In other words, the five counties of the Li State in the west of the county were ignored, but only in the south of the county, the removal of Chaoyang and the occupation of Xinye by Liu Biao was Xunzhen’s biggest bottom line.

Following this, Xun Zhen was about to lead the troops to encircle Wan County, but at the military council before sending troops, she received a letter sent by Lu Bu.
