The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 326 Surrender without Killing
Liu Chan saw that Zhao Yan's men were unable to move now, and the next fate was to be wiped out.However, Liu Chan did not want to do this.

Although he lives in this era where human life is regarded as trivial, he still feels in his heart that the importance of human life is absolutely superior to all national righteousness and system concepts.A general who commands troops in combat must try his best to save the lives of his own soldiers, and second, he must be able to surrender the enemy's soldiers, so as to supplement his own strength and conquer people's hearts.

What's more, Liu Chan has seen Zhao Yan's ability these days, so he is determined not to let him die in battle.Maybe in the end, just like Yu Jin, he was taken in for his own use!
Therefore, Liu Chan called the messengers and asked them to send orders to the generals participating in the battle, asking them to temporarily gather their troops and retreat a little, as long as they tightly surrounded the enemy.

Seeing this, Guan Xing asked, "Why did your son do this? Now that the enemy is in a doomsday situation, I'm afraid they can all be wiped out in just a few breaths!"

Guan Xing's words at this time were full of murderous intentions, it can be seen that he was almost powerless to fight back against the enemy's rush, and he still felt very annoyed.Otherwise, he couldn't have sprouted such a strong murderous intent.

Liu Chan obviously understood Guan Xing's thoughts, and said, "Second brother, don't do such thoughts. Although the enemy's numbers are not many, they are already in a desperate situation, and they are bound to be defeated. But the so-called poor do not pursue, our army If we were to siege aggressively now, the enemy would definitely fight and resist, causing huge casualties to our army. Therefore, I think it is better to let them surrender."

Liu Chan's excuse is still in line with the actual situation, and he did not use the righteousness of "benevolence" to suppress Guan Xing.Therefore, Guan Xing didn't feel uncomfortable when he heard it, so he stopped arguing with Liu Chan and wanted to step aside.

But Liu Chan suddenly stopped Guan Xing and said, "Second brother, you go down to the city with me to persuade the enemy to surrender."

Guan Xing was taken aback when he heard that, there are only a few enemies, do you still need to trouble the prince to go out in person?He then said: "There are only a few of them, the prince can just send someone over there to talk about it." He obviously doesn't take the enemies below too seriously now.

Liu Chan smiled, for someone like Zhao Yan, it would be safer to persuade him in the past.But he didn't say anything, just said: "Second brother, come down with me?"

Then, without waiting for Guan Xing's reply, Liu Chan went straight down the steps. Zhao Feng and others quickly surrounded him, but Liu Chan asked him to stay where he was and rest.

Guan Xing had no choice but to sigh secretly, and followed Liu Chan to the city again.Although Wang Rui and Wang Tao were "taught" by Liu Chan just now, they also followed Guan Xing to the city.

At this time, Zhao Yan summoned up his courage and prepared to issue an order to fight to the death.But then he suddenly discovered that the enemy army suddenly retreated to the side like a tide, and finally stopped more than ten meters away and became stalemate.

Zhao Yan couldn't help being suspicious, what the hell is the enemy doing?

Suddenly, a hole was opened in the enemy's army formation, and a half-grown young man stepped out from the middle. Although his figure was a little thin, he had an extraordinary temperament.Behind him was a group of generals in armor, among whom there were even female generals!
Zhao Yan's mind is so astute, the person who can put on such a battle now, besides Liu Chan, the prince of Hanzhong, can it be anyone else?

However, Zhao Yan's stern expression, which had regarded death as home, suddenly became suspicious.He really couldn't understand why Liu Chan suddenly stopped fighting at this time, and why did he suddenly appear in front of the two armies?
According to Liu Chan's order, Guan Xing stepped forward and shouted loudly to Zhao Yanjun: "Is Zhao Yan joining the army? My family has something to tell you."

Liu Chan's name, Zhao Yanjun has been talking about it every day these days, and now that Liu Chan is going to see Zhao Yan, the team suddenly became a little commotion.

Zhao Yan tidied up the messy clothes on his body, separated from the guards around him, stepped forward and said to Guan Xing, "I am Zhao Yan."

Guan Xing saw that Zhao Yan was quite tall, he wore armor on the outside and robes on the inside, giving him the appearance of a scholar.Just because he was still fighting just now, his armor and face looked a little dirty.But the demeanor on his body cannot be concealed no matter what.

Guan Xing saluted Zhao Yan and said, "The last general, Guan Xing, serves in the army of the Prince of Hanzhong." After Guan Xing finished speaking, he automatically stepped aside.

Only then did Liu Chan step forward, cupped his hands and saluted, "Your Liu Chan, I have seen Zhao Canjun."

Zhao Yan's eyes turned back to Liu Chan, and after staying for a while, he sighed: "You are indeed Liu Chan and Liu Adou. I never thought that I, Zhao Yan, would be defeated by a kid like you at such a young age!" Zhao Yan said , In the end, it has turned into grief and indignation.

Liu Chan didn't seem to give Zhao Yan any face, so he smiled a little ungraciously, and said, "Why does Zhao join the army like this? How can there be a man who is invincible in all battles in the world? The wise plan is like Cao Cao, who was killed by General Ma Mengqi back then. Do I have to cut off my beard and abandon my robe?"

Zhao Yan nodded, but couldn't help but sighed again, and suddenly felt better.He bowed his hands to Liu Chan and asked, "I don't know why Liu Shizi wants to see me, a mortal man now?"

Liu Chan saw that Zhao Yan's words revealed the heart of martyrdom, so he said: "Chen really has some words from the bottom of his heart and wants to talk to Zhao Canjun. Chan is not a bloodthirsty person, so I want to ask Canjun to give up resistance."

Although Liu Chan's words were euphemistic, they were still harsh to Zhao Yan's ears.His brows frowned, and his face flushed suddenly, obviously angry.A man should be loyal to the country, so why should he be afraid of the shrouded body of horse leather?
Zhao Yan immediately shouted angrily: "What? You want me to disarm and surrender!"

Of course Liu Chan knows that celebrities are all about integrity, otherwise, every time the dynasty changes, there won't be so many old people who miss the previous dynasty.

Liu Chan immediately persuaded: "Zhao Canjun, Chan knows what you think in your heart, and understands why you are angry. But Zhao Canjun, Chan also asks you to think twice, there are at least seven or eight hundred lives behind you, and what will happen to them next?" Live or die because of a single decision of yours. Which is more important, their lives or your integrity?"

Zhao Yan frowned, and said loudly: "A man has a life and a life. If we can be loyal to the country, we have already put our lives out of the matter."

Liu Chan secretly sighed in his heart, a celebrity is a celebrity, this eloquence is really not given for nothing, it is not something that he can say in a few words to make him speechless.

Liu Chan looked at Zhao Yanjun again.Although Zhao Yan's words are extremely decisive and righteous, not everyone has his self-cultivation and regards death as home.There was already some commotion in Zhao Yan's army, and many people began to discuss in low voices.Zhao Yan also turned his head and looked behind him, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, and the voices of those discussions immediately became silent.

Liu Chan said: "Zhao Canjun, I know that although your words are righteous, you have too much selfishness, and you are willing to sacrifice the lives of thousands of people to achieve the name of loyalty after your death. Unexpectedly, you are a dignified Zhao Yan and Zhao Boran. He's just a guy who's trying to catch fame!"

For Liu Chan to say such a thing to a celebrity who values ​​reputation more than personal life, it is actually too much.Sure enough, Zhao Yan immediately flew into a rage and said, "What did you say?!"

Liu Chan was not afraid at all, and said loudly: "Zhao Canjun, turn around and take a good look at the soldiers behind you. They are all in the city of Anzhong, fighting for you for more than a month. What about those who have not been injured? They have already shed blood and sweat, so why are they not loyal to the country? Now you want them to use their lives to make a meaningless sacrifice! In fact, the reason why they have come to this point The end of the road, isn't it because of your ineffective command? Shouldn't you lose so many lives for this battle first, and feel guilty for the relatives of those dead?"

Under Liu Chan's series of questioning, Zhao Yan suddenly felt that his mind went blank, and his original strength seemed to collapse at once, and his mood became extremely complicated.

However, Liu Chan still refused to give up. He pointed at the soldiers again and said loudly: "Zhao Canjun, the parents who gave birth to me are also the parents who raised me. Those soldiers behind you have already served the country loyally, and now they should be kept. It's time to go home and pay filial piety to their parents!"

Then, without waiting for Zhao Yan's reply, Liu Chan announced loudly on the spot that as long as they were willing to surrender, he would spare their lives.

What Liu Chan said just now has already aroused many soldiers' yearning for their family members, and some of them even started to sob.Now hearing that Liu Chan asked them to surrender and hunt, most of them dropped their weapons and fell to their knees.Others who reacted slowly saw this, but had to follow suit.

For a while, except for some guards who were loyal to Zhao Yan, all the enemy troops had surrendered.Zhao Yan turned her head to look, knowing that the matter was over, she couldn't help but sighed softly.

With a wave of his right hand, Liu Chan rushed over to several soldiers and tied up Zhao Yan and several guards, but he did not encounter any resistance from them.
