Chapter 392 Jingzhou Storm (12)

Wei Yan hurriedly said: "No, no, no... I surrendered to General Liu sincerely, and I will never go back on my word. I, Wei Yan, can swear to God..."

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, Wei Yan saw Pei Qian and Han Song by his side, and hurriedly pointed at them and said, "Pei Qian and Han Song can vouch for me."

Pei Qian and Han Song were stunned, and they all waved their hands to decline. As the saying goes, knowing people is not knowing the heart, two people are not familiar with Wei Yan, how can they guarantee, and if they guarantee, it will be guaranteed with their lives. After finally escaping from death in Xinye, how could he get himself into trouble again.

Seeing that Pei Qian and Han Song were unwilling to guarantee, Wei Yan's face twitched. He couldn't think of any other way to convince Guan Yu and others that he was sincerely relying on Liu Bei.

Just when Wei Yan was at a loss, Guan Yu slashed his sword, steered his horse out of the way, and said to Wei Yan: "General Wei Yan, you go, since our army can capture you once, we can also capture you a second time. If you want to regroup and fight again, Guan will accompany you to the end. However, when we meet again next time, Guan's Qinglong Yanyue Saber may seem a little lonely, and I'm afraid I won't give up until I decapitate a general."

After Wei Yan heard this, his face was startled, and he hurriedly said: "General Guan, please rest assured, Wen Chang knows well, and he will definitely not be an enemy of General Guan. General Guan is brave and mighty, and Wei Yan is very impressed..."

"Okay, don't say a word, save some energy and go back and persuade your subordinates to surrender." Huang Zhong said.

"General Guan, do you really want to let him go? What if..." Mi Fang said angrily.

"If something happens, Guan will take responsibility for it, and Guan will treat others with sincerity. I believe that General Wei Yan will never let Guan down." Guan Yu directly interrupted Mi Fang.

After finishing speaking, Guan Yu gave Wei Yan a fast horse and asked him to ride a detour.

After Wei Yan left, Huang Zhong walked up to Guan Yu and said, "Yun Chang, look, the lord seems to have sent Yide to pursue him."

Guan Yu frowned, and hurriedly said: "Han Sheng, tell your eldest brother quickly, and ask him to send an order to suspend the troops temporarily, and I will go after the third younger brother."

Huang Zhong said "No", and immediately galloped out.

Guan Yu turned to Mi Fang and said, "You stay here to clean up the battlefield."

"drive!"

With a loud shout, Guan Yu rode out alone and chased into the woods.

While chasing, he thought in his heart: "Huang Zhong has performed well this time. It seems that after taking Jingzhou, Huang Zhong can become another general under the eldest brother's command."

Thinking of this, Guan Yu couldn't help but feel elated. This time his elder brother finally subdued a fierce general.

In the woods, arrows were flying, and Guan Yu heard the neighing of horses, the screams of soldiers, and the thunderous roar from time to time. He knew in his heart that Zhang Fei was not far ahead.

Suddenly, an arrow shot towards him, and Guan Yu's pupils dilated immediately. He raised the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and cut the arrow in half. Looking at it, he saw Jingzhou soldiers in the distance surrounded by a ball of fire. Yun, he hurriedly called out, "Third Brother, I'll help you!"

The soldiers of the Jingzhou army seemed to be having a hard time dealing with an angry Zhang Fei, but suddenly another Guan Yu came, and they were shocked.

"Guan Yu is here...run away..."

I don't know who yelled first, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who were fighting against Zhang Fei immediately dispersed.

"Where to escape?" Zhang Fei yelled, riding his horse to give chase.

Guan Yu hastily rode his horse to Zhang Fei's side, held the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in front of Zhang Fei, and stopped him, saying, "Third brother, don't chase after the poor!"

Zhang Fei stared at Guan Yu with big black eyes, and said angrily, "Second Brother, what are you doing? Get out of the way, I want to avenge my dead subordinates!"

Guan Yu said: "Third brother, there is no rush to take revenge at this moment. What's more, these soldiers are also instigated by others. How can the two armies fight without injury? If you really want to take revenge, save your anger To deal with the Prime Minister Kuai Yue who is far away in the city of Xiangyang, he sent people to attack us."

"Kuai Yue! I must kill him with my own hands!" Zhang Fei raised his head to the sky and screamed, his voice was like thunder, soaring straight into the sky.

"Come back with me. After a while, these soldiers may become your subordinates." Guan Yu said calmly.

Zhang Fei respected Liu Bei and Guan Yu very much. Although he was reluctant, he nodded in agreement.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked the soldiers to guard in the woods and made a defensive line, and they retreated to the official road outside the woods to meet Liu Bei.

At this time, Huang Zhong explained the situation to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also fully trusted Guan Yu, and immediately ordered the entire army to cease fighting.

Xu Shu was at Liu Bei's side, and after hearing Huang Zhong's report, he said to Liu Bei, "My lord, maybe these people will become my lord's capital to seize the entire Jingzhou. If they all surrender this time, it will be a big deal for Liu Qi and Liu Qi who are far away in Xiangyang. For Kuai Yue, it is undoubtedly a blow. As long as the lord leads his troops forward to the city of Xiangyang, the insightful and benevolent people in Xiangyang city will definitely agree with each other. If they want to take the whole Jingzhou at that time, they may not have to use force .

After hearing Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei immediately asked, "Does the military advisor have any good ideas? Let me hear."

Xu Shu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not a good idea, it's nothing more than emulating Liu Biao's previous method of attracting talents in Jingzhou and using people to persuade him. Xu Shao, Liu Xian, Fu Xun, Pei Qian, Han Song, Wei Yan and others all In Jingzhou for a long time, everyone will have a group of friends. If they all surrender, the lord can use them as lobbyists to persuade other Jingzhou people to come and surrender. Just like Wei Yan who just surrendered, isn’t he returning to the Jingzhou army to persuade him to surrender now? ?”

Liu Bei said: "The military adviser's idea is good, but Liu Biao did not occupy the entire Jingzhou by using this method, but only made the states and counties of Jingzhou obey him in name. Therefore, after his death, the prefects of Jingzhou immediately carried out backlash. If If you can't completely take Jingzhou as your own, Liu Biao's method will hardly make any big progress."

"The reason why Liu Jingsheng can't control the entire Jingzhou is because he didn't cut off the military power of those who were attached to him, but still let them serve as prefects in the old area. Liu Biao is a lesson from the past. My lord should follow Liu Biao's method of persuading Jingzhou. However, after persuading the various regions to surrender, the lord can cut off the military power of those people, and use his confidantes to serve as prefects in various places and take charge of the military power. In this way, Jingzhou can be directly pacified without suffering too much damage." Xu Shu said .

After hearing this, Liu Bei felt that Xu Shu's analysis was very reasonable, so he nodded and said, "This method is feasible."

During the conversation, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived on horseback, and everyone greeted each other together, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, not to mention burying the corpses.

On the banks of the Feishui River, Xu Shao, Liu Xian, Fu Xun and others were resting on the bank panting with the defeated army. Everyone couldn't figure out why the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse when they had the upper hand, which made them suffer a crushing defeat.

"What a shame, what a great shame. I didn't expect to be defeated so badly for the first time. There must be someone in Liu Bei's army to give advice." Xu Shao sighed heavily.

Fu Xun accepted the words and said: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the most powerful generals in the world, together with Huang Zhong, I have seen it today. I have never led troops to fight, and I believe this is the first time for you. Although our soldiers are more powerful than Liu Bei The mob is hundreds of times stronger, but our army lacks the generals who can truly lead the army to fight. After Wei Yan was captured, our army took a sharp turn for the worse. Du Xi was also killed by Zhang Fei. Pei Qian and Han Song also surrendered. What is the battle of the bird gate!"

Fu Xun said: "However, I was entrusted by Kuai Yue, and instead of eliminating Liu Bei, I retreated just like this. I'm afraid Kuai Yue will find it difficult to explain to him."

"Jingzhou is precarious. Although Liu Qi has Kuai Yue's assistance, it is not enough to deter the whole state. Otherwise, the four counties in southern Jing, Xinye, and Jiangxia will not disobey orders. Liu Bei is the hero of the world, although he has been wandering among the princes , but to be honest, he is indeed hundreds of times stronger than Liu Qi, anyway, they are all surnamed Liu, so whoever is the Lord of Jingzhou is the same?" Liu Xian said discouragedly.

Liu Xian, styled Zidu, was born in Jiangjin County. He was famous for his extensive knowledge and memorization of Ming allusions. He was hired by Liu Biao as a special driver.Although he is not a member of the Han family, his surname is Liu after all. To him, it doesn't matter whether Liu Qi or Liu Bei is the master of Jingzhou.

Fu Xun said: "This is reasonable."

Xu Shao sighed, shook his head, and said, "Looks like you guys have been scared out of your wits by Liu Bei. If there are people like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in our army, I will definitely be able to capture and kill Liu, Guan, and Zhang. "

At this time, Wei Yan galloped over from behind a forest alone, and everyone was surprised to see Wei Yan came back.

After a while, Wei Yan rode his horse up to Xu Shao and the others, got off his horse immediately, and said in a loud voice, "Everyone is well, I'm really happy to congratulate you."

Xu Shao sneered and said, "Didn't General Wei Yan be captured alive? Judging by your appearance, you should have surrendered to Liu Bei. So, you are here this time as a lobbyist, right?"

Wei Yan laughed and said: "The military division is smart, I am indeed here to be a lobbyist."

Liu Xian and Fu Xun looked at each other after hearing this, and they couldn't help thinking: "Even Wei Yan is willing to surrender to Liu Bei, so if we surrender, naturally we won't cause criticism..."

Xu Shao said: "General Wei Yan is very frank, but if you come, don't leave. Liu Xian, tie Wei Yan up, bring him back to Xiangyang, and hand him over to the Prime Minister."

After Liu Xian heard this, his face was startled, he looked first at Wei Yan, then at Xu Shao, standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"What are you doing standing there? Wei Yan is Liu Bei's man now, and he is an enemy. He cannot show any kindness to the enemy." Xu Shao said.

Wei Yan said with a chuckle: "Is the military master too confident? Doesn't the military master know? Liu Xian, Fu Xun and I are old friends. Although we don't have much contact with each other, we are very good friends in private..."

The smile disappeared suddenly, Wei Yan turned his head, and shouted at the guards around them: "Tie up Xu Shao."

Just in case, Wei Yan specially brought ten house slaves to act as his personal soldiers before going out to the expedition. At this moment, the ten house slaves gathered around them. Xu Shao took it immediately.
