Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 397 Liu Zhang Surrenders
The defeated soldiers fled back to Yizhou and reported to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was shocked and stayed behind closed doors. When someone reported that Ma Chao had arrived in the north of the city, Liu Zhang dared to go to the city to see him.

Seeing Ma Chao leading the troops to stand at the foot of the city, he shouted, "Please come out and answer Liu Jiyu."

"The general came to help me, and Liu Zhang is very grateful!" Liu Zhang said in the city, and bowed to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao pointed at him with a whip: "I came to rescue Yizhou with Zhang Lu's soldiers. Who would have thought that Zhang Lu would join the traitor Li Song? Now I have surrendered to General Cao. Today I am here to surrender you. You can surrender with Nashi." , so as not to cause suffering to the living beings, if you are obsessed with obsession, I will break through the city first! Let’s talk.”

"You..." Liu Zhang was so shocked that his face turned ashen, and he fell on the wall in anger. The officials were shocked and rushed to rescue Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang woke up leisurely and cried, "It's because I didn't know the truth that I fell into such a situation. I'm afraid it's too late to regret it now! It's better to open the door and surrender, so as to save the people in the city."

Dong He immediately remonstrated: "My lord, there are still more than [-] soldiers in the city; money, silk, food, and grass can last for a year: how can you surrender so easily?"

Liu Zhang said, "One year? What about after that year? Aren't we waiting to die?"

Dong He who asked was speechless!He didn't know what to do after this year!
Liu Zhang continued: "My father and son have been in Shu for more than [-] years, and they have never given any favors to the people. After fighting for three years, many soldiers died outside. These are all my fault. If you continue like this, you How can I feel at ease? It is better to surrender to the peace of the people."

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help crying, and suddenly one person said: "My lord's words are just in line with God's will."

Everyone heard the reputation and looked, this person turned out to be a native of Xichong, Brazil, Qiao Zhou Qiao Yunan, this person has always been proficient in astronomy, and he is Liu Zhang's astronomical officer.

"Why did you say that?" Liu Zhang asked. In fact, Liu Zhang still didn't want to surrender and handed over his great family fortune to others. It's just that the situation was stronger than others, so there was no other way, so he had to do so.

Qiao Zhou cupped his hands in a salute, now is a great opportunity to show his knowledge, so he would not let it go, he said: "Last night I watched the stars, and I saw the stars gathered in Shu County; the stars are as bright as the moon, and they are the image of the emperor. A year ago, there was a rumor in the children: If you want to eat a new meal, you must wait for the Lord to come, this is a sign, and you must not go against the sky."

"Presumptuous! Qiao Zhou, you dare to confuse people here with your demonic words, and you will not be allowed to stay." Huang Quan and Liu Ba were furious when they heard the words. They drew their swords and were about to kill Qiao Zhou without giving Qiao Zhou a chance to speak. Liu Zhang blocked it in time.

"Report!" Suddenly a soldier rushed to report: "Xu Jing, the prefect of Shu County, secretly left the city to surrender." Liu Zhang cried and returned home.

The next day, it was reported that General Cao sent Jian Yong, a guest of staff, to call the door at the bottom of the city. Liu Zhang ordered the door to be opened and entered.

Suddenly there was a person who couldn't understand Jian Yong's face, drew his sword and shouted loudly: "The villain is successful, and he is like no one! How dare you despise me, there is no one in Sichuan!"

Seeing that the visitor was from Mianzhu, Guanghan, Qin Mi and Qin Zichi, Jian Yong hurriedly got out of the car to greet him, Jian Yong said with a smile: "I didn't recognize that it was Brother Xian just now, it's really a crime! Please don't take offense, Brother Xian."

After saying that, he dragged Qin Mi to meet Liu Zhang together, and after the salutation, he and Liu Zhang were seated as guest and host. Liu Zhang said, "Sir, you came here to persuade me to surrender. I don't know how General Cao will deal with me if I surrender."

Jian Yongdao: "My lord is magnanimous. If Liu Yizhou is willing to surrender, my lord will treat Liu Yizhou kindly."

After hearing this, Liu Zhang decided to surrender and treated Jian Yong kindly. The next day, he personally bought the printed and ribboned documents and went out of the city with Jian Yong to surrender.

Cao Ang came out of the village to meet him personally, shook hands and said, "I didn't do such an unrighteous thing, but the situation forced me to do such a thing."

Liu Zhang didn't say a word. Cao Ang wiped away his tears and felt that it was a little fake. He dragged Liu Zhang into the village together.

"Greetings to General Cao!" When Cao Ang entered Chengdu, the people greeted him with fragrant flowers, lanterns and candles. Cao Ang went to the public hall and was seated in the hall. All the officials in the county worshiped in the hall!

"Is everyone here?" Cao Ang looked at the officials in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart. He finally had a piece of land of his own and the capital to fight against Li Song.

Fei Guan went out, cupped his hands and saluted, "In this hall, only Huang Quan and Liu Ba stayed behind closed doors and never came."

The generals were furious, Xia Houxuan said: "These two are so rude! How dare you neglect the lord, and please ask the lord to allow the last general to go and kill these two."

Cao Ang hastily sent an order: "If anyone dares to harm these two people, I will destroy their three clans! I will personally go and invite them to work for me."

Everyone was shocked!Begging!Cao Ang still went to the door in person, invited the two to become officials, and came to the two people's houses. Cao Ang ordered the generals to wait outside, and went in alone to show sincerity. Cao Ang played.

"My lord, what should I do with Liu Zhang?" After recruiting the two of them, Cao Zhen asked how to deal with Liu Zhang.

"Choose a good place in Fucheng, and invite his family to live there. Remember not to treat Liu Zhang and his family badly." Cao Ang thought for a while, and finally decided to move Liu Zhang to Fucheng. It's outrageous.

"No! I'll do it now!" Cao Zhen said, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Cao Ang, Cao Ang said: "I'll do it myself!"

After Cao Ang finished speaking, he turned and left to meet Liu Zhang, and asked him to pack up all his belongings, and ordered him to be signed by General Zhenwei, and the whole family moved to Fucheng.

From then on, Cao Ang led Yizhou Mu, and all the civil and military soldiers he recruited were rewarded heavily, and the titles were proposed: Yan Yan was the former general, Fazheng was the prefect of Shu County, Dong He was the general in charge of the army, and Xu Jing was the general. The left general was the commander-in-chief, Pang Yi was the commander of the battalion, Liu Ba was the left general, and Huang Quan was the right general.

The remaining Wu Yi, Fei Guan, Peng Yi, Zhuo Ying, Li Yan, Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Li Hui, Zhang Yi, Qin Mi, Qiao Zhou, Lu Yi, Huo Jun, Deng Zhi, Yang Hong, Zhou Qun, Fei Yi , Fei Shi, Meng Da, civil and military surrender officials, a total of more than [-] people, all of whom were promoted.

Zhuge Liang is the military adviser, Zhao Yun is the general of Zhenyuan, Huang Zhong is the general of Zhengxi, Wei Yan is the general of Yangwu, and Ma Chao is the general of Pingxi.

Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Cao Zhen, Wu Ban, Xia Houxuan, Cao Pi, Liao Hua, Ma Liang, Ma Di, Jiang Wan, Yi Ji, and a large group of civil and military officials from the old days all gave some rewards.

Send an envoy to give Cao Pi five hundred catties of gold, one thousand catties of silver, fifty million yuan, and one thousand pieces of Shu brocade. After all, Cao Pi is his own brother.

Naturally, the rewards given by the other officials and generals were not comparable to Cao Pi. They killed cattle and horses, paid soldiers a lot, opened warehouses to help the people, and the soldiers and people were very happy.
