My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 271 Surrender, Liu Biao's Despair!

Jingling, a water village by the river.

Jingling was originally just a small town by the river, but because Jiang Xia was lost, Zhang Yun had no choice but to lead his troops to set up a water fortress here to prevent the Chu army from approaching further.

However, due to Liu Bei's reasons, Zhang Yun's [-] soldiers and horses were reduced to [-], and the other [-] have been transferred back to garrison Xiangyang.

Liu Biao was mainly worried that Liu Bei would take the opportunity to go north.

However, Jingzhou's military strength is stretched at the moment, and there is a feeling that the head is neglected, and this is exactly the result Chu Feng wanted to obtain at the beginning.

On the surface of the river, there are several small boats wandering.

These small boats were mainly responsible for guarding against the Chu army, but because the Chu army asked for peace, the number of these patrol boats decreased a lot, so Chu Feng thought of sending people to assassinate a wave.

However, this group of hanging hairs escaped very fast.

Almost at the moment when the Chu army was approaching, the small boat made clanging noises, and frantically ran towards the water village in the distance. Seeing this, Chu Feng simply stopped being in a hurry.

Just let the sailors line up and drop anchor to stop the ship.

At this moment, he brought 40,000 sailors, about [-] people, including the Central Army, the trapped camp, and the remnants of Zhang Fan, covering the entire Yangtze River, and they were all elites.

Inside the water village, the sound of the boat's roar spread.

Zhang Yun, who was lying leisurely in the house, heard the restlessness outside the village, and became nervous for a moment. He sat up in a jerk, and immediately got up and grabbed the sword and came out.

"What's the situation?" Zhang Yun came out of the stronghold and asked.

The surrounding guards don't know for the time being, but at this moment another general rushed over and shouted: "General, disaster has happened, Chu army, Chu army is here!"

"Damn it, didn't you please make peace?"

Zhang Yun was annoyed, and couldn't help cursing. He knew that Chu Feng was treacherous, and it was impossible to end it so easily: "How many people from the Chu army have come, and who is leading the army?"

"My lord, according to the scout team's explanation, the intruder is Chu Feng. As for the strength of the troops, they didn't see clearly, but the entire river is densely packed with Chu troops."

The lieutenant looked solemn and said anxiously.

"What did you say? It's all densely packed?" Zhang Yun's calf was a little weak. This Chu army is notoriously awesome, and he saw it when he beat Huang Zu before.

But now, there are only 10,000 people under his command.

If Chu Feng came with a bunch of people, how would he fight him?

"General, why don't you ask Jingzhou for help first? We are definitely not Chu Feng's opponent!" The deputy general was nervous and said incoherently.

"Well, I have to ask for help!" Zhang Yun nodded, but before he could give an order, another person rushed over.

"Report~, General, Chu Feng's envoy has arrived, just outside the water stronghold, and the envoy has come to say that this time is about the life of the general." The soldier said nervously.

"The envoy is here?" Zhang Yun raised his eyebrows.

"General, would you like to see me?" The lieutenant motioned.

"Go, invite the envoys to gather in the stronghold." Zhang Yun rolled his eyes and nodded immediately.

To be honest, when the news of Liu Bei's annexation of Zhang Xian came back, he already had no hope for Liu Biao. Now Liu Biao has only 30,000 people under his command. How to fight?
Moreover, these soldiers and horses are not quite listening to Liu Biao's dispatch.

After a while, in the water village.

The one who came was Lu Xun, whose appearance was imposing. Although he was young, he looked relatively calm and sophisticated, obviously he came prepared.

"My general, Lu Xun, under Chu Feng's command, has met the general!" Lu Xun was humble and polite.

"I've heard about General Lu's name for a long time, but I just don't know what's going on with him?" Zhang Yun pretended to be puzzled, he knew that Lu Xun was from Zhao'an at this time.

"From now on, one is to protect the head of the general, and the other is to point out the way for the general."

"My lord is a descendant of the Yuan family, and the former officials of the Yuan family are all over the world, and my lord is both civil and military, and his forces span the four prefectures of Xu, Yang, Henan, and Jing."

"Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are under his command, and tens of millions of people are counted. Outside the water village, my lord has personally led an army of [-] to prepare to capture this place."

"If you dare to ask the general, how long can these crooked melons and dates in the village hold back my lord's army?" Lu Xun was neither humble nor overbearing, and his speech and demeanor were confident and forthright.

After the words fell, Zhang Yun and his generals were in deep thought.

Without reinforcements, Jingling will be lost.

"However, my lord does not like to kill. I have heard for a long time that General Zhang is a genius in civil and military affairs. As long as the general is willing to surrender, he will enjoy the same treatment as Huang Zu in the future."

Taking advantage of the other party's hesitation, Lu Xun added,

"This!!" Zhang Yun raised his eyebrows, hesitant.

"General Zhang, you should also know that Liu Bei annexed Zhang Xian and is no longer under Liu Biao's control. Liu Biao has a maximum of 30,000 people under his command."

"The key point is that those people are not of the same mind. Now that Liu Biao's situation is gone, it is a foregone conclusion. From the general's perspective, you should be able to see clearly, right?"

Lu Xun smiled lightly and said,
He asked himself, Zhang Yun couldn't hold back these words.

"This..." Zhang Yun hesitated, not knowing what to do.

"Hehe, let me tell you the truth, General, the Cai family has communicated with my lord many times. As long as my lord's soldiers come to the city, the Cai family will personally bring a group of soldiers and horses to surrender."

Lu Xun was somewhat inductive,

This Zhang Yun's fortitude is beyond his imagination.

"Cai's family has secret communication with Duke Chu?" Zhang Yun was surprised, and was really frightened by this Zhang Yun.

"Of course," Lu Xun chuckled, and immediately handed over the letter that Mrs. Cai had sent to Chu Feng earlier, to prove what Lu Xun said just now.

Zhang Yun immediately took it over, you know, he was under the Cai family's command, and he had never heard from Cai Mao that he was asked to join Chu Feng.

But after browsing for a while, Zhang Yun already recognized that this is Cai's note, and the content of the letter is very simple, that is, he wants to send Jingzhou out.

Unexpectedly, the Cai family had colluded with Chu Feng early on,

Since the Cai family had planned for a long time, it is not a disadvantage to surrender this time.

"Is what the general said true? Will Duke Chu really let the last general go?" Zhang Yun asked with some uncertainty.

"Of course, my lord will not only let you go, but also let you enjoy the same treatment as Huang Zu, but before that, Huang Zu won Jiangling for my lord, the general should also show something!"

Lu Xun not only suppressed his psychological expectations, but also threw out new things at the last moment,
"How does the general express it?" Zhang Yun frowned. If it was difficult, he would not agree.

"It's simple, send someone to inform Jingzhou that our army has arrived, and ask for additional reinforcements immediately. When the time comes to take Xiangyang, the general will take great credit."

Lu Xun chuckled, with a bit of confidence.

With his three-inch tongue, he directly made Zhang Yun unable to resist, so strong.

"General, people go to high places and water flows to low places. Liu Biao's life is not long. If the general surrenders, he will be able to enjoy endless prosperity and wealth."

"If the general doesn't want to, I'm afraid everyone in the water village and the general will die in battle. Future generations won't think of the general at all."

Lu Xun chuckled, disintegrating Zhang Yun's last fighting spirit.

"I drop, I drop."

Zhang Yun finally couldn't resist.

Between life and death, he chose life, and lived a life of glory.

"The general who knows the current affairs is a hero, and the next step is to act according to this letter. After the matter is completed, the general will surely enjoy the glory and wealth!"

Lu Xun chuckled, with a bit of pride.

Sure enough, Liu Biao's generals, not to mention how well they command them, the generals alone can't command them, even if you want to do what you want, it won't help.

"Farewell, waiting for good news from the general!"

After Lu Xun finished speaking, he took another boat and left, as if he had never appeared before.

"Everyone, Liu Biao is in danger. Do you have any other opinions when he joins Chu Feng this time?" Zhang Yun looked at the generals under his command with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

Just kidding, Chu Feng is now in full swing, and at this moment, if he is against Chu Feng, isn't that just courting death?They don't want to do such a stupid thing of ruining their families.

The only thing to do at this moment is to surrender.

"Well, let's keep this matter secret for the time being, and immediately send people to Jingzhou to say that Chu Feng is here, and ask them to send reinforcements immediately. The more serious the better."

Zhang Yun said in a deep voice.

"No!" All the generals nodded in unison.

They probably understood through the communication just now that not only they surrendered, but the Cai family, the first family in Jingzhou, would also want to draw close to Chu Feng.

This is going to spread, no one will believe it!
At the same time, Lu Xun returned.

After explaining the matter briefly, Xu Chu hummed: "My lord, if you want me to say, why bother to delay so much, let's just rush over."

"My lord, although what Zhongkang said is a bit reckless, it is not unreasonable." Zhao Fan also defended, with the excitement of wanting to take the initiative in his eyes.

"Hehe, the first step is to attack the army, the second is to attack the diplomatic relations, and the second is to attack the city. Since Jingzhou can be captured better, why bother to add unnecessary troubles!"

Chu Feng explained with a chuckle.

"Don't worry, Jingzhou is not far away. In a few days, Jingzhou will deal with it. It is extremely rare to be able to mobilize some troops from Jingzhou."

Chu Feng chose the safest method.

Although Cai said in her letter before that she would let the Cai family go out of the city to surrender as soon as she came to the city, but this is just a sentence after all, no one can guarantee it.

Since there is no guarantee, it is necessary to use Zhang Yun to take time out of Xiangyang.

The generals had no choice but to nod, somewhat helplessly.

----

In a blink of an eye, a few days later.

Jingzhou, inside Xiangyang General's Mansion.

On this day, a piece of news caused Jingzhou, which was already covered in dark clouds, to experience lightning and thunder in an instant, and countless people began to ponder how to survive in the future.

"Report~, I would like to report to my lord that Chu Feng led nearly [-] troops and gathered troops outside Jingling. General Zhang Yun asked his subordinates to report and request the lord to send troops and horses to support quickly."

The sent scout shouted eagerly.

"What did you say? Chu Feng led his troops approaching? Impossible, how is this possible, Chu Feng just signed an armistice agreement with us, how could he launch an attack at this time?"

Liu Biao was a little tired and didn't want to believe it.

As for the rest of the people in the mansion, their expressions were tense for an instant, especially the major families, who fell into deep thought when they heard that Chu Feng was on the way.

Obviously, they knew that Liu Biao would not live long.

I'm afraid that Jingzhou is about to change completely this time, and there is a great possibility that Chu Feng will take over. They must make preparations early.

"My lord, a weak country has no friendship. Chu Feng occupies the initiative on the battlefield, so he can change what he promised at will. We shouldn't put the fate of Jingzhou on others."

Kuai Liang immediately suggested.

"That's right, Chu Feng will definitely take advantage of Liu Bei's rebellion to annex Jingzhou, and he will think that he should send people to guard Jingling immediately, otherwise it will be too late for Chu Feng's troops to come to the city."

Wenpin immediately clasped his fists and said.

"My lord, you should rush to help immediately. As the saying goes, do your best to obey the destiny, not to mention the high walls of my Xiangyang city, even if I send [-] soldiers and horses, there will still be [-] left."

"Besides, Nanyang Zhangxiu obeys the command of the lord, so he might as well write a letter asking him to lead his troops to serve as the king. As long as he passes this hurdle, Jingzhou will still be the same Jingzhou in the past."

Another scribe sincerely suggested.

For a while, there was a lot of chatter in the hall. Some suggested that Zhang Yun should immediately withdraw his troops to Xiangyang and defend by the city, and some suggested that they should guard Jingling to increase the strategic depth.

In short, there are all kinds of languages.

"Huh!" Liu Biao took a deep breath.

He was a little tired. The successive betrayals and defeats during this period had made his nerves a little weak. He had no confidence at all that he could beat Chu Feng!

First, Huang Zu's surrender caused him to lose 30,000 soldiers and horses, and then Liu Bei's betrayal caused him to lose [-] soldiers and horses. Now there are only [-] people left in Jingzhou.

To put it bluntly, these 30,000 people are not enough to fit Chu Feng between his teeth.

The key is the 30,000 people, and the scheduling depends on the face of the Cai family. At this time, he can't make the decision, he is just a living puppet.

"General Cai, as the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou, you can arrange it. You can guard Jingling or Xiangyang." After Liu Biao finished speaking, he got up and left.

For a moment, everyone looked over.

At this moment, Liu Biao was hunched over, with a bit of loneliness, like a defeated lion, ready to leave the arena in disgrace, and then he should wait for Chu Feng's arrival.

"The general understands!" Cai Mao nodded, and immediately looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, tomorrow I will send [-] troops to the south to help Zhang Yun."

"As for Xiangyang, there are 5000 people guarding it. I think Chu Feng can't make a big wave, but it needs all of you to fight against the enemy." Cai Mao confessed.

If Liu Bei still obeyed Liu Biao, these people would definitely work hard to defend him, but now that Liu Biao's power is declining day by day, it is no longer possible to stand out following such a lord.

Everyone didn't say much, and their eyes were lost in thought.

Next, it depends on which company moves faster, and each family hopes to reach a cooperation with Chu Feng as soon as possible.

A boat division with [-] soldiers and horses was also dispatched, and at the same time, envoys asking for Zhang Xiu's help also set off.

But Liu Biao didn't give any hope at all. He knew the virtues of this group of aristocratic families. If he couldn't do it, they would quickly find the next person to cling to.

As for Chu Feng's fourth generation and third lord, the forces under his command are powerful, much stronger than himself.

Liu Biao only hoped that his two sons could live on safely. This might be a luxury, so he could only transfer some of his family wealth and arrange for them to leave.

All of this naturally cannot escape the eyeliner of other families in the city.

In a blink of an eye, another few days passed, and a piece of news made the Jingzhou authorities completely desperate. Zhang Yun defected, together with 5000 people under his command.

At this moment, Chu Feng has led his army to approach Jingzhou.

Hearing this news, Liu Biao remained calm. The last hope left in Jingzhou was that the Cai family and Zhang Xiu could help him defend the city.

But even if he keeps it, he will be wiped out in the next year.

As a result, countless people began to rely on relationships to get on the line of Chu Feng. Although Xiangyang has a strong city, the hearts of the people are scattered!
