Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2900: Ying Hao arrives at Chenliu City and opens, one hundred thousand Cao troops disarm

Chapter 2896: Ying Hao arrives at Chenliu City, and one hundred thousand Cao troops disarm.

"Master Taishou, something serious has happened. The two generals Cao Zhen and Cao Youwen are leading a group of generals to break into the Taishou Mansion and go to the capital to remonstrate with the soldiers."

"what?"

Dong Zhao, the prefect who was inspecting the city defense, couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this. He quickly summoned the city defense camp defenders and prepared to go to support Cao Ren.

But when Dong Zhao led thousands of defenders down the city wall, he found that his way was blocked by an army, and the general at the head was Cao Bin's father, Cao Yun.

When he saw that it was Cao Yun who was blocking him, Dong Zhao's face was full of disbelief. After all, although Cao Yun's son Cao Bin was captured, his grandson Cao Wei escaped back, and his entire family was also in Qiao County.

Therefore, if Cao Yun and Cao Can, the grandsons of Cao Yun and Cao Can, surrender, how will it make Cao Bin, who would rather die than surrender, and Cao Wei, who is still serving Cao Wei, feel so embarrassed?

Dong Zhao pointed at Cao Yun and said excitedly: "Old general, aren't you afraid of damaging the lives of Cao Wei and the whole family? It's still too late to turn back now."

"There's no turning back."

Cao Yun shook her head, feeling disappointed: "If I rebelled alone, I would naturally be afraid, but now that 80% of the generals in Chenliu City have rebelled, can the lord still kill so many people's families together?"

There were one hundred thousand troops in Chenliu City, and the families of the middle and high-level generals together probably numbered in the tens of thousands. No matter how crazy Cao Cao was, he would never attack the families of these people. After all, the law does not punish everyone.

If this was really done, the 100,000 Cao soldiers would be completely offended to death. By then, the 100,000 Cao soldiers would not be able to retaliate to Cao Cao to death.

The more than 300,000 Qin troops on the western front alone were already overwhelming Cao Cao. How could Cao Cao take the initiative to add another 100,000 elite troops to the Qin army.

Dong Zhao knew that Cao Yun was right, but he still couldn't understand that Cao Yun would rebel. After all, Cao Yun's family was too closely connected with Cao Wei. It can be seen from the fact that Cao Bin refused to surrender even after he was captured. No one should rebel against your family. On the contrary.

"Old general, you are really worthy of your children and grandchildren." Dong Zhao sneered and mocked.

"Master Dong, the whole army is rebelling, so what can I do if I don't rebel? The food that was rescued is also fake. When the real food runs out, will everyone starve to death together?" Cao Yun advised earnestly.

Dong Zhao did not listen to the advice, and still sneered: "I wonder what price Cao Zhen offered you, old general?"

After hearing this, Cao Yun was silent for a while and then said: "Cao Zhen promised me that as long as I don't help each other and holds you, Mr. Dong, after the surrender, I can let me go to the prisoner of war camp and be a prisoner with my son Cao Bin, and The responsibility for surrender will also be borne by the Governor alone."

"you you……"

Dong Zhao suddenly trembled with anger when he heard this, and gritted his teeth and said: "Killing people will punish the heart. Killing people will punish the heart. You are really shameless. Do you think you can put all the blame on the governor? Do you think you can deceive the world in this way? ?”

"It doesn't matter whether you can deceive the world, as long as you can frighten the people in Qiao County."

After saying that, Cao Yun looked at Dong Zhao sincerely and said: "Master Dong, look at the sons and gentlemen around you. They also have parents, wives and children. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, it is meaningless. "

As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhao's face suddenly turned red. He also knew that Chen Liu's situation was now decided, and there was no point in continuing to fight. After all, most of the generals sided with Cao Zhen, but let him fight with these If the traitor is complicit, that would be worse than killing him.

Cao Yun saw that Dong Zhao didn't speak, so she continued to persuade: "Master Dong, I won't embarrass you. We just need to stay here and do nothing. When everything is over in the Prefecture, you and I will Let’s go to the prison camp together, and neither responsibility nor infamy will fall on us.”

Hearing this, even Dong Zhao couldn't help but feel excited. After all, he didn't have to admit any responsibility or infamy, and could preserve his reputation and innocence. This was already the best step for him, so much so that he now I understand Cao Yun somewhat.

Seeing Dong Zhao's acquiescence, Cao Yun was relieved. He still respected Dong Zhao very much. If the other party was really pedantic, then he would have no choice but to kill him. Fortunately, Dong Zhao was not such a person.

Soon, news came from the Prefecture that Cao Ren was restrained by his eldest son, Cao Tai, and was eventually captured alive by Cao Zhen and Cao Youwen.

After hearing the news, Dong Zhao felt extremely complicated, but in the end he did not make any resistance and actively ordered the soldiers to put down their weapons, and then prepared to be prisoners with Cao Yun.

At the same time, the prefect's mansion.

After learning that Dong Zhao had also been captured, Cao Zhen and Cao Youwen were relieved. After all, this meant that there was no longer any resistance in Chenliu City, and the 100,000 Cao troops were completely under their command.

In order to appease the generals under their command, Cao Zhen and Cao Youwen immediately led the generals to open the granary again for testing. As expected, the innermost sack was filled with sand, and after counting the grain and grass, there was not even enough food for five days.

Although the generals knew this before they came, they were still furious when they saw it with their own eyes. Some of them even cursed Cao Ren for being cunning and not caring about their lives or the lives of the soldiers at all.

"Everyone, this is Cao Ren's unkindness. He knew that he was going to die, but still asked me to die. So don't blame me for being unjust."

Cao Zhen glanced at the generals below and said calmly: "The most important thing now is to stabilize the entire army, and then count the materials and grain in the treasury. Then Cao Tai's nephew will present the city to the Qin army in the name of Cao Ren, leaving Chen intact." Leave it to the Qin army."

Although there is not much food and grass in Chenliu City, there are still a lot of various types of defensive materials. After all, the Qin army did not launch a strong attack, and Chenliu's offensive and defensive battles did not start at all. The materials stored in the treasury were basically not consumed. This is also a big supplement to the Qin army's supplies.

After everything was settled, Cao Zhen immediately contacted Ren Qianxing and asked him to inform Bai Qi to surrender. Unexpectedly, Ren Qianxing brought back the news that Bai Qi could not accept their surrender.

"Why?"

At this time, not only Cao Zhen, but also Cao Youwen, Cao Yun, Zheng Hun and others did not understand. After all, Jia Xu planned all this just to evade Cao Ren, kill people, and completely accept the surrender of 100,000 troops.

Now that Jia Xu's goal has been achieved, shouldn't he accept the fruits of victory? Why couldn't Bai Qi accept their surrender?

Faced with the doubts of the generals, Ren Qianxing explained: "General Bai Qi cannot accept the surrender, mainly because in three days, His Majesty will arrive in Chenliu, and then His Majesty will personally perform the surrender ceremony. " Hearing that Ying Hao was coming, all the generals present, including Cao Zhen, were excited. After all, the emperor Ying Hao accepting their surrender had a different meaning from the general Bai Qi. This represented the importance and importance of manner.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and all the generals present were excited. Cao Zhen proposed that the generals should restrain their officers and soldiers, and at the same time clean up Chenliucheng, and must be in the best condition to welcome Emperor Qin.

Three days later, under the protection of 10,000 troops, Ying Hao officially arrived at the Chenliu Camp of the Qin Army, while Bai Qi, Li Cunxiao, Zhang Liao, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun and other Qin generals left the camp twenty miles away. Welcome.

"I will see you, Your Majesty."

Facing the kneeling salutations of the generals, Ying Hao waved his hand and said: "My dear friends, there is no need to be more polite. The army will not make any stop, go directly to Chenliu and accept the surrender of one hundred thousand Cao's troops."

"promise."

At the same time, the 100,000 Cao troops in Chenliu City were also ready to welcome Emperor Qin.

All Cao Cao's 100,000 troops took off their armor and took the initiative to lay down their weapons to show their sincerity. They also mobilized the people in the city, and the momentum was huge.

Cao Ren's eldest son, Cao Tai, as well as generals such as Cao Zhen and Cao Youwen, had been waiting at the gate of Chenliu City for a long time.

Of course, Cao Ren was also there, but he was sitting in a wheelchair, with his body tied up by a pair of big flowers, and he had a look of despair on his face and said nothing.

After Cao Zhen thought for a while, he said to Cao Tai: "Nephew Tai, although you are no different from your father in giving this order, it is best for your father to make this decision."

Cao Taize looked confused: "Uncle, you also saw it, how could my father say this?"

"Why don't you use emotion and reason to persuade him?" Cao Youwen said.

"Yes, as long as he agrees, we will give him an antidote to restore his ability to speak."

Although Cao Tai hated to be embarrassed by this, what could he do? He could only embarrass his old father.

"Dad, we have already reached this point, can you sacrifice yourself for our family and our children..."

As a result, before Cao Tai could finish his words, he was hit with a headbutt by Cao Ren, causing his nose to bleed.

This also disappointed Cao Zhen and others. After all, with Cao Ren's attitude, it was obviously impossible for him to speak in person.

Even if Cao Ren agrees now, Cao Zhen and others may not believe it. After all, if he makes a big fuss about the surrender ceremony, they will be the ones who suffer in the end.

"Nephew, wipe your nosebleed quickly. His Majesty the Qin Emperor will be here in a moment. Don't be rude before the Emperor again."

"Hurry up, people are coming."

Under Cao Youwen's urging, the six-horse luanjia driven by Ying Hao, supported by a group of Qin generals and the army, slowly drove towards Chenliucheng. The three guard generals at the head were: Li Cunxiao and Zhao Yun , Lu Bu;

When they arrived in front of the city gate, Ying Hao slowly stepped out of the carriage under the gaze of everyone, while the three generals Li Cunxiao, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu stood in the middle to protect Ying Hao.

Seeing this, Cao Tai rushed forward holding the seal, roster, and tiger talisman, while Cao Zhen, Cao Youwen and other generals followed closely behind Cao Ren.

Later, Cao Tai raised the tray high, fell to the ground and shouted: "Wei, Cao Ren, the governor of Yanzhou, would like to offer Chenliucheng to His Majesty the Emperor of Qin. I hope that His Majesty will take us in regardless of the past grievances."

As soon as Cao Tai finished speaking, Cao Zhen and Cao Youwen behind him forced Cao Ren to kneel down, one on the left and the other on the right.

After seeing this scene, Ying Hao couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. Although this move was a bit deceptive, it did give both parties a step down.

Among Cao Cao's 100,000 troops left by Chen Liu, most of the generals' families were still in Qiao County. If the responsibility for the surrender was placed on Cao Ren alone, these people would not only be able to escape guilt and preserve their reputations, but also avoid Cao Cao's investigation. , it can be said to be the best of both worlds.

After Ying Hao glanced at the things on the tray, he immediately picked up the tiger talisman and raised it high, saying loudly: "I am very relieved that you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light. I accept your surrender. From now on, you will all be Da Qin, yes My soldiers."

After hearing this, Cao Zhen, Cao Youwen and other generals were inexplicably shocked. They all obviously paid attention to Ying Hao's wording, which was "surrender" rather than "surrender". This would be too flattering to their inevitable defeat. Come on.

"Long live my emperor."

Cao Tai, Cao Zhen, and Cao Youwen led one hundred thousand Cao troops, all of whom shouted in unison.

Cao Ren looked at the scene in front of him with a complicated face. He racked his brains and tried his best, but he couldn't completely master the one hundred thousand Cao army, but Ying Hao completely conquered it with just one sentence.

Da Qin had the main force of 100,000 Cao troops to help, and Cao Wei had no hope of making a comeback.
