Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 509 Long Jian Comes to Surrender
"Look at what Long Jian said!"

Chen Gong said urgently to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu nodded, then tore open the envelope, took out the letter inside, and placed it on the table.

I saw what was written on it: Brother Ziyuan, my brother Ziyuan, I understand what you mean, but what I want to know is whether the Liaozhou Army is as magical as you said. If I surrender the Liaozhou Army , In the future, troops from other forces will come to attack Leping County. Can the Liaozhou Army guarantee the safety of the soldiers and civilians in Leping County?If the Liaozhou Army can guarantee the safety of the people in Leping County, I am willing to open the door and surrender to the Liaozhou Army.

After reading the letter, Lu Bu said disdainfully: "If a woman's benevolence is for the sake of the people of this county, if she surrenders back and forth, wouldn't she be ridiculed by the people of the world!"

But Gao Shun said sympathetically: "Marquis Wen was also born in Bingzhou, so he should know how hard life is for the people of Bingzhou. Bingzhou doesn't produce food in the first place, and the world is in chaos, and aliens have been harassing the border. If it weren't for the lord He wiped out the tribes on the grassland, and I am afraid that the life of the people on the border will be even more difficult!"

"That's right, the reason why I said I was sure of persuading Long Jian to surrender is because Long Jian admired the King of Liao's sweep of the alien race! That's why I dare to say that I can recruit Long Jian!"

Xu You also climbed up the pole, wanting to take the credit for himself.

"cut!"

But Lu Bu sneered at Xu You, gave Xu You an angry look, and then said: "You can write back to Long Jian, tell him that I can guarantee the safety of the people in his Leping County, and let him open the door and surrender. Well, tomorrow I will lead the army to take over Leping County!"

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Gong suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute! I have something to say!"

Everyone looked at Chen Gong.

"What happened to the office?"

Lu Bu asked suspiciously.

"According to the information we have, Long Jian has [-] to [-] troops in his hands, and our total army is only [-]. If Long Jian defends the city, he may not be able to stop us for a while. Why is it so easy for him? Open the door and surrender? Isn’t there a fraud in this?”

Chen Gong narrowed his eyes and said.

"Yeah, I also feel cheated. If we have several 10 people, he is worried about the safety of the people and opens the door to surrender. This is understandable, but we only have 8 people. If I were Long Jian, I would never open the door." Surrender!"

Pang Jun also spoke.

"Could it be that Long Jian is a false surrender?"

Lu Bu also narrowed his eyes.

"No, no, there must be another reason for Long Jian's willingness to open the door and surrender. It's definitely not a false surrender!"

Xu You hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Well, what do you think we should do?"

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and asked.

Chen Gong replied: "The current plan is to let Long Jian go out of the city to verify whether Long Jian is willing to surrender!"

"How to do it?"

Lu Bu asked again.

Chen Gong replied: "Let Long Jian go out of the city with only [-] soldiers and horses, and then we will meet him outside the city. If Long Jian really came out of the city with only [-] soldiers and horses to meet us, then he would sincerely surrender. If he doesn't Dare to go out of the city, or bring more soldiers and horses, that is false surrender!"

"Okay, according to Gongtai's words, Xu Ziyuan, write to Long Jian quickly, saying that the general wants to meet him outside the city, and ask him to bring only [-] soldiers. If he dares to bring more, then This general will lead the army into Leping County!"

Lu Bu ordered to Xu You.

"Yes!"

Xu You immediately wrote another letter, and Lu Bu sent someone to deliver it to Long Jian, but Long Jian did not reply this time, but told the sender that he agreed to Lu Bu's request.

"Agreed so readily?"

Lu Bu asked in disbelief.

"Ok!"

The soldier delivering the letter nodded.

"Okay! Let's go to Leping County tomorrow to see if Long Jian really surrendered!"

The next day, Lu Bu led all the soldiers under his command to the outside of Leping County, and Long Jian had already been waiting there with his soldiers.

As soon as Long Jian saw Lu Bu's banner, he dismounted immediately, then knelt down on one knee, and held up the seal and the official seal of the prefect of Leping County with both hands.After Lu Bu approached, Long Jian shouted: "Long Jian, the prefect of Leping County, is willing to surrender Leping County to protect the safety of the people of Leping County!"

Seeing Long Jian performing such a grand ceremony, Lu Bu hurriedly got off his horse to help Long Jian up, and then praised: "I heard that the prefect of Leping County loves the people like a son, and what I saw today is indeed the case!"

"Oh, I'm ashamed to say that surrendering without a fight is not what a general did!"

Long Jian said in shame.

"What did Taishou Long say? As we all know, my lord loves the people like a son. The people of Liaozhou are rich, and Bingzhou is the same as Liaozhou. Why are the people of Bingzhou so barren? It's not because Yuan Shao set up various names to collect money. All kinds of exorbitant taxes! Now that you have surrendered to the King of Liao, the people of Leping County are blessed!"

Lu Bu persuaded.

"Of course!"

Long Jian also nodded.

After saying that, Lu Bu handed the seals of Leping County soldiers and horses to Gao Shun, and the official seals of the eunuchs to Long Jian, then took Long Jian's hand, and explained as he walked: "It's not that I don't trust the prefect Long, This military power really cannot be returned to you, but no one can take this post of Leping County prefect from you without the order of the prince!"

Long Jian replied with a smile: "Hehe, I, Long Jian, was born as a military general. It was really helpless to be the prefect of Leping County. Now that King Liao is about to unify Hebei, I don't have to guard against anyone, so this I don’t intend to do the post of prefect either!”

With that said, Long Jian returned the official seal to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, then you can go with me. When you return to Liaozhou, with your talents, the prince will definitely let you lead an army!"

Long Jian smiled, and then said: "I, Long Jian, am also an ordinary person. Of course, I also look forward to being promoted and making a fortune, so I hope that Marquis Wen will support me a lot in the future!"

"Good talk, good talk!"

Lv Bula took Long Jian's hand, and the two walked into the county office talking and laughing all the way, while the sergeants in Leping County were led by Gao Shun, while Chen Gong and Xu You went to deal with the supplies and grain of Leping County up.

After Lu Bu and Long Jian came to the county office, they chatted freely.

"Long Jian, since you intend to get promoted and make a fortune, why do you still want to be such a small sheriff in Leping County?"

Lu Bu asked puzzledly.

"Hey, it's good to get promoted and get rich, but I can't abandon my parents and folks in Leping County!"

Long Jian said helplessly.

"Then why are you surrendering to our Liao King now?"

Lu Bu continued to ask.

"Because of the current situation, if there are no major changes, Yuan Shao will definitely lose. Once Yuan Shao is defeated, King Liao will rule Hebei, and the people of Leping County will be safe. I can use my talents under the hands of King Liao by running alone. Already!"
