The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 561 560 Jingzhou Changes Owner (32)

Sima Yi suddenly burst into tears, and Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, Li Tong and others hurried forward to comfort him, and asked Sima Yi not to blame himself too much, and let his sorrow pass, and Sima Yi gradually stopped crying.

Sima Yi wiped away his tears and regained his composure, and then slowly said to Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong: "The reason why I called you here this time is that besides paying homage to the lord, there is also a very important thing. Important matter, but this is not a place to talk, after you worship the lord, come to the meeting hall, I have something important to discuss with you."

After saying this, Sima Yi left the mourning hall, and Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong began to worship the dead Liu Qi in turn.

After the worship, the four left the mourning hall together and headed straight for the meeting hall.

After Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong came to the hall, Sima Yi asked them to sit freely. There was no one else in the hall, and the four generals didn't look outside that much, so they took their seats one after another.

At this time, Sima Yi said: "Now that the lord dies, Jingzhou will fall into a state of leaderless dragons. The lord's son is only half a year old, and he is still a baby, which is not enough to shoulder the burden of the entire Jingzhou. Besides, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei led the army to occupy the four counties in southern Jing, and Zhang Xiu of Nanyang surrendered to Zhang Yan. In this way, Jingzhou was left with only three places: Nanjun, Xiangyang, and Jiangxia. Since the old lord conquered Zhang Yan last year, After the failure, Jingzhou's military strength plummeted. Although there are still 10 armored men, you should know better than me that among the [-] people, there are very few who can really fight. Now Zhang Yan, Sun Quan is always eyeing Jingzhou. Once he hears the news of the lord's death, he will definitely take advantage of the vacancy and wash Jingzhou with blood. At that time, with our army, this group of mobs, how can we survive Zhang Yan and Sun Quan's north-south attack at a low level? At that time, Jingzhou will definitely People will be devastated, and blood will flow like rivers..."

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong all frowned, their faces were full of worry, it could be said that they were full of sadness.

"Military division, you have always been resourceful, so you must have a way to deal with such a crisis, right?" Wenpin asked hastily.

Sima Yi said: "If we go to war, with Jingzhou's current strength and strength, it is impossible to win. But if we don't fight, we may be ridiculed, saying that we are courageous bandits. I have a plan to resolve the current crisis. And Jingzhou will not suffer any losses, but...whether this plan will get the approval of the four generals?"

Wen Pin said: "The strategist's strategy must be a very good plan, strategist, don't be fooled, tell us quickly!"

Sima Yi said: "With the current strength of our army, it is impossible to deal with the two enemies at all. Moreover, once the war breaks out, Jingzhou will inevitably fall into the quagmire of a fierce war. At that time, we don't know how many people will die in Jingzhou. Our duty is to To protect the environment and keep the people safe, when we are unable to perform this duty, we must always think about the common people, so, what I mean is, take the initiative to dedicate Jingzhou to avoid the devastation of war."

As soon as these words fell, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong were all taken aback. They never expected Sima Yi to say such words. They all thought that Sima Yi had come up with some clever plan to deal with the enemy. , I didn't expect to surrender!
"Military division, what's the difference between this and surrender? If you surrender without a fight, you will be ridiculed as a coward!" Huang Zhong asked directly, following on.

"Why don't I want to fight the enemy to the death? But with our current strength, we can't defeat the opponent at all. Since we know it is impossible to win, why do we have to fight? I have already thought about it. Dedicated to the King of Yan Zhang Yan, Jingzhou was originally owned by the court of the Han Dynasty. If we dedicate Jingzhou to the King of Yan, it is tantamount to returning the property to the original owner, and Zhang Yan also has a tendency to dominate the world. Sun Quan will become his next target, and Zhang Yan's army is all northerners, not very familiar with water. If you want to destroy Sun Quan, you must first defeat Sun Quan's navy army, and how many people are there in Zhang Yan's subordinates? Is it possible to fight water battles? Therefore, they must rely on our Jingzhou Army. After seizing Jiangdong and resting for two years, Liu Zhang will occupy Yizhou next. At that time, our Jingzhou Army will definitely be the vanguard and have the opportunity to make contributions. Too many to count." Sima Yi said eloquently.

After listening to Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin and Li Tong, they felt that what Sima Yi said was very reasonable. Under the whole world, could it be the land of the king, and the shore of the land, could it be the minister of the king.Jingzhou was originally a part of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Biao was only ordered by the court to guard one side here.But the Han Dynasty was gradually dying, which gave those ambitious people the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to separate one side, dominate the king and hegemony, and cause chaos in the world.

Now, with the assistance of Zhang Yan, the King of Yan, the Great Han has pacified Yuan Shu in Huainan, Yuan Shao in Hebei, and the treacherous Cao Cao.Now the north has been unified by Zhang Yan, leaving only a few separatist forces in the south, Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Yizhou, Jiaozhou and other places, in the eyes of the Han court, they are disobedient officials who come to crusade and regain the lost land , is a matter of course, and no one can find a problem.

Huang Zhongdao: "That's true, but..."

"There's nothing but. Instead of sitting here waiting to die, it's better to take the initiative to donate Jingzhou. At least it can save Jingzhou from suffering." Sima Yi interrupted Huang Zhong's words.

At this moment, Zhou Yuncong suddenly broke in from the outside. As soon as he entered the hall, he immediately knelt down in front of Sima Yi, and said loudly: "Qijun, I just received a secret report from the scouts. As a pioneer, I came to attack Jingzhou, threatening to bring Jingzhou back into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"

As soon as these words fell, everyone present was shocked. They never expected that Zhang Yan would come so soon.

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong all knew that Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, had a strong army and a wealth of talents under his command. The generals who were accustomed to fighting were also famous all over the world. This time, 20 troops were mobilized to capture Jingzhou. It can be seen that Zhang Yan Yan wanted to engulf Jingzhou in one go, with the momentum of sweeping the world.

Sima Yi pretended to be surprised, but after a while, he regained his composure, and said to Zhou Yuncong, "Got it, go down first, send out more scouts, and pay attention to every move of Yan Wang Zhang Yan's army, if there is any situation, come and report immediately!"

"Here!"

After Zhou Yuncong exited the hall, Sima Yi glanced at Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong who were present, and asked, "The four generals are on the verge of attacking, and they have no choice but to attack. Most of the officials, big and small, in Jingzhou They all agreed to donate Jingzhou, and I have already sent Liu Xian as an envoy to see Yan Wang Zhang Yan. It is estimated that Liu Xian will meet Zhang Yan tomorrow, and then tell Zhang Yan what we mean, and he will definitely be willing Accept ours, and you will be rewarded generously for donating Jingzhou."

"It turns out that the military adviser has already sent someone there, so why did you call us here to discuss? No matter how much we discuss, it will be of no avail. The military adviser is really a good move." Huang Zhong said with a sneer at Sima Yi's approach, "Since the military division has already donated Jingzhou, the lower officials have nothing to say."

After speaking, Huang Zhong took off a seal hanging from his waist, put it directly on the table, and said to Sima Yi: "This is the seal of a subordinate official. From now on, I am no longer a general. I am Huang Zhong. I will no longer obey the orders of the military division!"

As soon as the words fell, Huang Zhong turned around and left.

Seeing this, Sima Yi rushed out the door and shouted, "Zhou Yuncong!"

Zhou Yuncong jumped out immediately, with ten guards behind him, directly blocking the door, blocking Huang Zhong's way.

After Huang Zhong saw this scene, he sneered, turned to Sima Yi and said, "Military Master, do you think that with just these few people, I can stop my way?"

Sima Yi said: "General Huang is not an ordinary person because of his high military strength. How can I not know? All these people may not be the opponent of General Huang. But today, General Huang will not be able to get out of this room no matter what!"

Just as Huang Zhong was about to say something, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, his feet went limp, and he slumped on the ground. His limbs were limp and weak, and he felt very tired even when he wanted to open his mouth to speak.

"Why... how come you are like this?" Huang Zhong looked at Sima Yi with a puzzled expression.

Sima Yi hadn't spoken yet, but he saw Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong lying limp on the ground one after another. Their symptoms were almost the same as Huang Zhong's, all limbs were weak, and the whole body was limp.

"Military Master, what... have you done?" Wen Pin also looked at Sima Yi suspiciously and asked.

Sima Yi said: "You can rest assured, you are just poisoned by a kind of poison. This poison will not harm you, but will only make you weak and weak. From the moment you enter the door, the poison will spread in this hall. Don't tell me, didn't you smell a tangy fragrance when you entered the door?"

When Sima Yi said this, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong all recalled it. It seemed that this was indeed the case, but none of them paid attention at the time. Who would have thought that they would be poisoned invisibly? .

"Military division, why...are you alright?" Wei Yan asked.

Sima Yi said: "I took the antidote beforehand. This kind of poison has a strong aroma and can make people's limbs limp and weak. Therefore, it is also called Shixiang Ruanjin Powder. I bought it from a merchant in the Western Regions. I didn't expect it to be so effective."

"Military Master, are you going to kill us?" Wei Yan asked.

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "I won't kill you, after all, you are all generals, but Jingzhou is about to change hands, you are all generals with military power in your hands, I can't let you ruin it at this juncture. My good deed. I will let you go after the raw rice is cooked, and I will strongly recommend you in front of His Royal Highness King Yan, so that you can continue to be generals. But now, I will wrong you first."

As soon as the words were finished, a scout walked in from outside, and directly said to Sima Yi with clasped fists, "Sir, Liu Xian has brought His Royal Highness King Yan and is on his way to Xiangyang City, and it is expected to arrive in Xiangyang City this afternoon. "

"Okay! Jingzhou is finally about to change hands. From then on, Jingzhou will return to the embrace of the big man. Zhou Yuncong, take General Huang, General Wei, General Wen, and General Li down first, so that you can take care of them. Don't neglect these few. General." Sima Yi ordered.

"Here!"

After Zhou Yuncong responded, he directed the ten soldiers behind him to carry Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong away one after another.

It turned out that these ten people were not used to deal with Huang Zhong, but to lift them up.

Even if Huang Zhong has a hundred reluctances now, he has no choice but to let him go.

In the evening, Sima Yi led Jingzhou officials, large and small, to wait at the gate of Xiangyang City. When they saw Zhang Yan, led by Liu Xian, leading hundreds of well-dressed cavalry, everyone felt very sad. The suppressed joy, especially Sima Yi, at this moment, he just felt relieved that Jingzhou finally changed hands peacefully today.
