Optimization System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 167 Re-sign the Agreement
It was not only Yuan Shao who was distressed, but also Liu Biao.

Liu Biao's situation is much more difficult than Yuan Shaolai's.

What Yuan Shao faced was nothing more than attacks from Liu Bei and Zhang Lan.

But Liu Biao faced the attacks of Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu.

At this moment, we can see who is stronger. Cai Mao and Huang Zu guard Nanyang and Jiangxia respectively.

Although Huang Zu was also hit hard, he still gritted his teeth and persisted; Cai Mao was only in a stalemate with Yuan Shu's army in Lushan.

On the contrary, Liu Biao himself led the team to stop Cao Cao and failed very much. Cao Cao's army has already attacked Xiangyang generation.

"My lord, I can't fight anymore"

Liu Biao's adviser Kuai Yue said.

Liu Bei's old face was flushed with anger. Before the fight started, these guys persuaded him to surrender. Now he is still trying to persuade him instead of thinking of ways to help him solve the problem. This makes him really angry.

If it wasn't for the imminent battle, Liu Biao really wanted to chop off their heads one by one.

But things have come to this point, Liu Biao is really powerless.

Facing attacks from three parties, but now he was beaten to his old den, how could he fight this battle.

"Are you willing to surrender?"

Liu Biao said these words weakly.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, but they didn't dare to make it too obvious.

Kuai Liang said, "My lord, it's not that we are willing to surrender, but we have to. Now that we are surrounded by enemies on three sides, and now that Cao Cao has reached Xiangyang, if we don't surrender to Cao, we will have nowhere to live."

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Liu Biao was in a hurry and jumped at the table.

"Believe it or not, I will hang your heads on the city gate right now!"

Everyone was shocked, fell to the ground in a hurry and shouted that they were wronged, but they didn't know what they were wronged.

"We are all thinking about the lord, the lord is the lord of Jingzhou, we can live if we lose, and if the lord loses, we will not be tolerated by him, forget about the lord three or four!"

Liu Biao sat down on the ground decadently, and sighed deeply.

"Hey, that's all, surrender, surrender!"

Seeing that Liu Biao finally agreed, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but they also felt guilty.

After all, Liu Biao is also their master, but now he has been encouraging him to surrender, and seeing Liu Biao's current state makes him feel very uncomfortable.

But the overall situation has been decided, no matter what they say, they will not regret it.

If they surrender now, they will still be high-ranking and rich. If they continue to fight until the city gate is breached, they will be prisoners and have no right to speak. Everything depends on others' wishes. If they are in a bad mood, copy If you are full of yourself, there is no place to cry.

On the same day, Liu Biao sent Kuai Liang to Cao Ying to present the letter of surrender.

The next day, Liu Biao led his troops out of the city and surrendered, and Cao Cao led his army into Xiangyang.

Then Cao Cao immediately asked Liu Biao to revise two letters and sent them to Cai Mao and Huang Zu.

After Cai Mao and Huang Zu got the news, they were in different states.Cai Mao retreated back to Nanyang, waiting for news.However, Huang Zu was very disappointed with Liu Biao and surrendered to Sun Ce instead.

Sun Ce happily accepted Huang Zu and his followers.

Cao Cao sent troops to replace Cai Mao. Sun Ce took Jiang Xia, so he did not rush to attack. Yuan Shu also took An Le and faced Cai Mao across the water.

Cai Hao was not dissatisfied with Liu Biao's surrender, but was full of joy. He was also a surrender faction, and now he has military power, and Cao Cao has no generals who are good at water warfare. At that time, he rushed to Xiangyang without even thinking about it.

Yuan Shu was the most unhappy about this result. Cao Cao won the surrender of Jingzhou, and Sun Ce also won Jiangxia and gathered Huang Zu's tribe.

And he just got a city of peace, which doesn't mean much.

Therefore, he blamed Yuan Shao for this incident. If Yuan Shao hadn't asked him to send troops to support him, then he would definitely have gained greater benefits.

But even though he thought so, he didn't plan to continue anymore, because Cao Cao was very powerful, and now he still had friction with Zhang Lan, it was not suitable for him to be attacked on both sides at this time.

Sun Ce's new acquisition of Jiangxia, and Cao Cao across the water, is not conducive to attacking for the time being, so he simply settled down.

This is especially true for Cao Cao. To get such a large piece of land, it must take some time to take care of it.

Fortunately, although Liu Biao has no military capabilities, he is still good in governance. The only problem is military.

Indeed, as Cai Mao expected, Cao Cao did not exploit Cai Mao's military power, but reused it, and handed over the full power of the navy to Cai Mao to command.

The management personnel in various parts of Jingzhou basically did not change, but Liu Biao's position changed a little bit.

No way, Liu Biao used to be a big boss no matter what, it would not be worth the loss if he was given a high position and then led to rebellion.

The competition for Jingzhou cakes has come to an end temporarily.

It is said that Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Zhang Lan's rear, and Yuan Shao felt more at ease. He sent Gao Lan to guard Weijun, and Han Meng stationed in Yangping.

He still personally led the army to pursue Liu Bei fiercely.

Xiang Feng led troops to attack Julu, but was blocked by Yuan Shao, and started a battle with Yuan Shao's army.

But in the end they were still outnumbered and returned to Xingtai.

On the other hand, Liu Bei went smoothly. After capturing Changshan, it can be said that he was finally connected with his own forces, and it was much easier to defend.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Lan began to develop with peace of mind. He once again handed over the power of internal affairs to Zhuge Liang, but this time the project was a bit too big, and he was a little too busy for a while. Therefore, Zhang Lan Lan insisted on assigning Pang Tong and other counselors to internal affairs.

Pang Tong was directly sent to Qingzhou, and Yanzhou was handed over to Li Ru. Although Xuzhou was also his territory, he did not conquer it by himself, so he did not arrange too much, and left the power to Kong Rong.

After they settled down, the envoy sent by Zhang Lan to Yuan Shao also replied to the letter, agreed to Zhang Lan's request, released Cheng Yu, asked Zhang Lan to temporarily rest, and returned Li Yang (because Zhang Lan broke through the surrounding areas and assembled People and horses also broke through), Muye, Neihuang and other places.

Yuan Shao asked all over the sky for the price, and Zhang Lan naturally paid back the money on the spot.

The envoys came and went, and the final transaction price was that Zhang Lan paid 3000 Chenglian crossbows, and promised not to send troops again, Yuan Shao sent Cheng Yu back.

After the agreement was reached, Zhang Lan sold Liu Bei again, and Cheng Yu was soon released.

It was another 'warm' scene, Zhang Lan took Cheng Yu's hand and said, "Mr. Zhongde, I'm sorry for you."

"Scholars die for their confidants, what's the point of this hard work?"

On the same day, Zhang Lan held a big banquet again, and the atmosphere was much better than before, because no one mentioned proclaiming the emperor this time.
