Chapter 287 Liu Biao Persuades to Surrender
Hu Zhen led the troops to set off, went south along the Jinniu Road, left Yang'an Pass, and went straight to Baishui Pass. Riding on a horse, looking at the precipitous terrain around him, he was also very moved:
"The road to Shu is difficult, it can be seen that if I can occupy Yizhou..."

Thinking of this, Hu Zhen shook her head vigorously, and quickly threw out the dangerous thoughts. Although she surrendered to Li Yao at first, she felt a little helpless, but after a year, he has eyes, he can see what it looks like in Guanzhong, Chang'an, and the court. Even if he can occupy Yizhou, Li Yao is also capable of sending troops to conquer.

Outside Baishui Pass!

Looking at the pass city and the terrain surrounded by mountains and water, Hu Zhen felt a headache. In fact, these passes in Yizhou have never been known for their majesty, but in this narrow terrain, they are just ordinary passes that can block the road.

He can only say to the left and right first:

"Send the order down, retreat first today, I'll go to that gate to have a look!"

The soldiers on the left and right responded when they heard the words:

"Follow the order!"

It took time for the army to retreat. At this moment, Hu Zhen rode forward slowly, approached Guancheng and shouted:
"I am Liu Yu, the imperial court captain, under the command of General Wei Li Yao, and Hu Zhen, the vanguard general. Who is in the city, please report your name!"

Above Guancheng, the guards, one officer and one officer, seemed a little hesitant when they heard this, and the reason for the hesitation was because of Liu Yu.

Although Li Yao was more famous, of course, it was mainly because of his notoriety, but Liu Yu had a greater influence. After all, he was an old minister of the former emperor and a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He became famous many years ago.

However, they are now under Liu Yan's command, and at this time they also puffed up their chests and shouted:
"Yang Huai, the guard of Baishui Pass!"

"Whitewater Gatekeeper Gao Pei!"

Hu Zhen frowned, showing a fierce look, and shouted sharply:
"We are the army of the imperial court. We are here to attack the lifeless Liu Yan by His Majesty's edict. If you are sensible, switch the switch and surrender immediately. I can spare your death. Otherwise, when the army breaks through the city, we will kill all of you. No dog or dog will be left behind, and none of you will be able to escape!"

Yang Huai, Gao Pei, the faces of the two changed drastically. Hu Zhen's words directly drove them into a desperate situation. Their family members are all in Mianzhu. How could they surrender, how dare they surrender, and finally Yang Huai refused coldly:

"The imperial army? Hmph! Now that the rebels are in power in the court, I think you are following the orders of the rebels to attack Yizhou. With us and Baishuiguan, you can never enter Shu."

Hu Zhen saw that the soft ones were not enough, so the only way to go was the hard ones. She turned around on the horse and turned back, thinking about countermeasures in her heart. He was not entirely a reckless man, so he naturally knew that it was very difficult to attack such a place by force.

Looking back again, Hu Zhen began to think in her heart:
"Check out the terrain first. It's best if you can find a path. If you can't, then you can only find a way..."

At this time, the attack on Liu Yan officially began!
……

At this time in Mianzhu, Liu Yan was waiting for a reply. Now the envoy he sent had already brought his handwritten letter and rushed to Jingzhou to find Liu Biao. He was also a Han clan relative. Liu Yan believed that Liu Biao should be willing to give him a hand.

In fact, the emissary he sent, Pang Xi, including his own letters, failed to convince Liu Biao at all.

Pang Xi, a native of Henan, was originally a Yilang in the imperial court. He was still in power when Dong Zhuo was in power. At that time, Liu Yan claimed to be sick, and Pang Xi ran around for him. In the end, the court let Liu Zhang go to fulfill his filial piety, and Pang Xi was also able to accompany him to Shu.

At that time, Liu Hong sealed Liu Yan and Liu Yuzhou shepherd, but only let them go there alone, and did not let their heirs go with them.

Liu He escaped during the period when the capital was moved. He first fled to Nanyang, was detained by Yuan Shu for a while, and finally went to Youzhou after going through twists and turns.

Liu Zhang's departure was likely due to careful planning by Liu Yan. Although the eldest son and second son were both in Chang'an, there was still a third son by his side. This was the basis for him to dare to fight against the imperial court.

Therefore, Pang Xi was reused and became the core figure of the Dongzhou faction. Let him go as an envoy, which shows that Liu Yan attaches great importance to this matter.

As Liu Yan's envoy, Pang Xi's family background is also very good. After going to Jingzhou, Nanjun, and Xiangyang, he met Liu Biao very easily.

It's just that after Liu Biao read the letter, although his expression was angry, but his eyes were strange, he finally said with a smile:
"The envoy has come all the way, and it must have been hard work. Let's go down and have a good rest. When I hold a banquet tomorrow, I will treat the envoy well!"

Pang Xi was stunned when he heard the words. Did he come all the way here to attend Liu Biao's banquet? He wanted to ask for help, and why did Liu Biao have such an attitude? He directly said solemnly:
"I also ask Liu Gong to send troops to Yizhou to save the people of Yizhou from the fire and water. That Li Yao is vicious and cruel. If he is allowed to enter Yizhou, there will be no peace in Yizhou..."

"Furthermore, my lord, Liu Junlang, is brothers of the same clan as Mr. Liu, so we should watch over and help each other, and together we can revive the great man's foundation. We must not let the country fall into the hands of traitors like Li Yao!"

Pang Xi said so bluntly, Liu Biao calmed down, what was the use of rescuing Yizhou, and he was different from Liu Yu and Liu Yan, they were both vassal guards appointed by the previous emperor, but Liu Biao, during Dong Zhuo's reign, the imperial court first appointed the governor and then the prefect.

What did he use to fight against the imperial court? If he raised troops against the imperial court, his position as state shepherd would lose its legal support.

Moreover, the world is in chaos now, Hebei and the Central Plains are full of frequent wars, and he can only protect the safety of Jingzhou, so how can he have the ability to divide his troops to rescue Yizhou.

After finally taking back Nanyang, Yuan Shuke is still in Runan, and he can fight back when he turns around. It is not worthwhile to gain and lose.

At this time, Liu Biao said directly:

"It might as well be like this. I will send envoys to the court to help you negotiate a peace. Jun Lang will be soft. He will resume the tribute in the future, send money and food, and send troops to help the court stabilize the situation. This is what the court guards should do. After all, the emperor's surname is Liu, and Jiang Shan's surname is Liu, and that's enough!"

Pang Xi was full of disbelief. This was what one of the princes said, and he spoke again unwillingly:
"Liu Gong, your lips are dead and your teeth are cold. If Li Yao can fight Yizhou today, he can fight Jingzhou tomorrow, and the princes of the Liu family will be completely wiped out in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Biao was indeed a little worried, but soon he realized that there was Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, Tao Qian in Xuzhou... The Kanto princes were so powerful, it was not so easy for Li Yao to send troops.

As long as I defend Jingzhou and wait for the opportunity, I will definitely do something in the future:
"I've made up my mind, there's no need to persuade me anymore, I can send envoys to negotiate peace, Jun Lang is also a clan member of the Han family, Li Yao doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, as long as he bows his head and be soft, not only can he be saved, but the people of Yizhou can also be saved from the calamity of war!"

Pang Xi was filled with grief and indignation when he heard the words, how could he bear it:
"Incompetent and pedantic, it's sad and deplorable, in the future you will definitely be a prisoner of others!"

Liu Biao's expression changed, and he said in disgust:

"Arrogant person, drive this person out!"

The matter of asking for help broke up unhappy...
