People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 380 Is this such a good thing?

Under the gaze of the Yellow Turban army, Fu Xie held up his sword, then let it fall to the ground. He then took off his helmet and threw it far away, then dismounted and stood calmly where he was.

In an instant, the army behind him followed suit and dropped their weapons one after another. The silent battlefield was suddenly filled with the noisy sound of metal clashing.

The scene was so abrupt that Wang Dang, Zhang Rao, Guan Hai and others were stunned for a long time.

Is there such a good thing?

However, this was not the end. Before they could react, they saw the enemy army making way for a path, and then a young man in a white inner garment slowly walked out, holding a set of folded silk brocade black clothes in his hands.

It's a pity that there was no one among the Yellow Turbans who knew the value of the goods, otherwise they would have recognized that this was actually the emperor's ceremonial robe of the Han Dynasty.

"I am Liu Xie, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. I surrender to Xuan Xia."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence, with only the sound of Wang Dang, Guan Hai, and Zhang Rao in the Yellow Turban camp taking a few breaths. It was shocking enough that the enemy suddenly came running to surrender, but no one expected that there would be something bigger to come.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty surrenders to Xuan Xia!

This kind of thing is exciting just thinking about it. Even Wang Dang's heart beat faster.

Although his life goal was to overthrow the Han Dynasty, he never thought that one day the emperor of the Han Dynasty would surrender to him in person. Thinking back to many years ago, he was just a stray dog ​​of the Yellow Turbans.

Of course, although he was shocked and excited now, he quickly calmed down without any hesitation. After taking a deep breath, he waved his hand and gave orders in a deep voice.

"Follow my orders and start accepting surrender!"

Wang Dang had no doubts about Liu Xie and Fu Xie's sincerity in surrendering. After all, they had lost all their weapons and had completely given up the ability to protect themselves, so there was no need to worry about the possibility of false surrender.

The Yellow Turbans accepted the surrender very quickly, but in order to avoid infection by the plague, the two sides did not have direct contact.

Under Wang Dang's command, the army immediately left the camp and formed a defensive formation, guarding against possible actions of the surrendered troops and the response of Cao Cao's coalition forces.

Under such circumstances, the surrendered troops were commanded by the Yellow Turbans to station near the camp.

This whole process was actually an extremely long task. After all, the scale of nearly 10,000 surrendered soldiers could not be resettled in a short period of time. After the surrender, the Yellow Turban camp was in chaos.

The Yellow Turbans' defensive formation was never relaxed, and fortunately, Cao Cao's coalition forces remained silent.

In fact, it was not that Cao Cao’s coalition forces were silent, but that although they were eager, they had no other options.

When Liu Bei and others in the city came out, Cao Cao knew the details. He was so angry that he almost got his nose crooked when he learned that it was Liu Xie who took the initiative to surrender to the Yellow Turbans.

He never expected that Liu Xie would rather surrender to Xu Chen than return to him.

At this moment, Cao Cao was a little bit defeated. Even if I usually put you under house arrest which was a bit excessive, you can't do this. As the emperor of the Han Dynasty surrendered to the Yellow Turban bandits, how can your Liu family save face?
Unfortunately, Cao Cao could no longer say these words to Liu Xie because Liu Xie was waiting for the Yellow Turbans to be settled.

The entire surrendered army was isolated by the Yellow Turbans in the outer area of ​​the camp, waiting for further investigation before making arrangements. Only Liu Xie was brought into the camp by the Yellow Turbans. Even though Liu Xie, the emperor, did not bring much substantial benefit to the Yellow Turbans, they still gave him relatively special arrangements.

This was not a so-called respect for the Liu family or the Han Dynasty. It was just that although the surrender of the Han emperor had no practical significance, it had considerable symbolic significance and deserved their careful treatment.

The world has collapsed to this point, but why did the Han Dynasty not fall? Why did the princes still not dare to truly establish themselves, but had to rely on the skin of the Han Dynasty? The biggest reason is that Liu Xie, the emperor, is still there.
As long as the emperor is still there, the symbol of the Han Dynasty will still exist, and there will still be a large number of "loyal ministers" who will always be concerned about the Han Dynasty.

And now.
"Well, now the Han Dynasty is really dead." Wang Dang looked at a tent in front of him and felt inexplicably emotional. Inside the tent was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was once the nominal master of the world.

Guan Hai and Zhang Rao looked at each other. Even now they still could not believe what was happening before their eyes. Was the Emperor of Han really going to surrender like that?
"Who could have thought of this? Even when Zhao Yun almost captured him, I wasn't that shocked. But the fact that he was willing to surrender was something I had never thought about." Zhang Rao couldn't help but sigh.

Guan Hai agreed: "We captured him, and he surrendered voluntarily, these are two different things."

Wang Dang nodded and said, "When I first heard that Zhao Yun captured Xuchang but missed the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I thought it was a pity, but I didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, this guy would be delivered to us. I don't know what happened in the process."

Zhang Rao looked at Wang Dang and hesitated for a moment: "Then how should we place him?"

Wang Dang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It is not for us to decide on this matter. We still have to see what the leader thinks. As for now, we just need to take him back to Xuanxia."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Rao and Guan Hai nodded in agreement.

The three of them looked at each other, and finally turned around and left in tacit understanding.

After all, the person in there was once the emperor. Although according to Xuan Xia's philosophy, the emperor is not that important, this identity is indeed sensitive enough.

If it were in the past, how the previous monarch should deal with it would be something that only the current monarch could decide.

Even though the world is different now and there is no monarch anymore, the height of their status is real. There is no need for them to meet Liu Xie. All they have to do is wait for that man to make the decision.

But when they turned around, their expressions were inexplicably relaxed.

The surrender of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to Xuan Xia was a symbol of the change of destiny. Perhaps Xuan Xia was really the destined country, and the manifesto to attack the Han Dynasty also proved it.

Xuan Xia believed in naturalism, but naturalism mostly taught people to follow objectivity. It was just that the change of ideas was not a one-time thing. After all, Wang Dang and his men were people who had come all the way from the old era, and it was not so easy for them to get rid of the mysterious ideas about ghosts and gods.

The associations that the emperor's surrender gave them were so strong that they couldn't help but think in the mysterious direction of destiny.

Moreover, this incident was like an omen and revelation, which inexplicably gave them strong confidence.

"General Wang, our cause is really going to succeed!" Zhang Rao looked into the distance, where the setting sun was desolate, as if symbolizing the end of the Han Empire.

Wang Dang smiled at first, then frowned: "What nonsense! Whether we will succeed or not is not determined by whether the Emperor of the Han Dynasty surrenders or not, but by our route. From the first day the leader took us on this path, we were destined to succeed. There is no need to have any doubts at all."

Zhang Rao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "General Wang, that's a good idea."
