"General!" Captain Chen Yao ran over quickly and whispered to Liu Feng: "There is not good in the north city. Someone wants to open the city to surrender, but he has stopped him, but some soldiers have already begun to flee."

Liu Feng's heart sank. This was also what he was most worried about. The militia soldiers had never seen wars and their morale was unstable. Once danger came, they were unwilling to work hard. Once a tide of power formed, the army would collapse without fighting.

At this time, Chen Yao glanced at the huge warship in the distance and said, "General, I want to say something bad. We can't defend Fanyu City at all. Now the Han army has not yet attacked, and the army will be in chaos. Once the Han army attacks, it can easily break through the defense, and you should know it."

Chen Yao is Chen Dao's brother. Although he is not as famous and martial as his brother, he is also a general in the Jiaozhou army. Liu Feng would not ignore his opinions. Liu Feng sighed, "I know I can't defend the city, but what should I do? Mi Fang surrenders, will I surrender too?"

Chen Yao whispered: "I mean, the general advises the lord and asks him to surrender!"

Liu Feng's face changed and he waved his hands repeatedly, "I won't go. I can't say such a thing. I said he would be hacked to death."

Just then, a commotion came from outside, and Liu Feng immediately said angrily: "What happened?"

"Report to the general, the Han army shot a letter."

"Where is the letter? Come and read it quickly!"

Soon after, a soldier presented a letter to Liu Feng. Liu Feng took it and saw that the letter was written on the cover, 'Han Wang Jing to the left General Liu Huangshu'. Liu Feng jumped up in shock and cursed the soldier, "Why are you bringing such an important letter now?"

Chen Yao quickly advised: "The soldiers are not literate, general, please go and present it to the emperor!"

Liu Feng was anxious and rushed down the city wall, turned over and ran towards the Yue Palace. In the lobby of the Yue Palace, Wang Lei, Huang Quan, Chen Zhen, Li Hui, Ma Su and other officials were gathering together to discuss countermeasures. At this time, they were quarreling and blamed Wang Lei for his inappropriate suggestions.

"The army in the city is insufficient, and you also suggest that the navy attack. Now that Mi Fang surrenders, the elites in the city are lost, and the city is about to be destroyed. Wang Shizhong, this is your responsibility!"

Wang Lei loudly remarked: "The enemy army has tens of thousands of people coming, and a thousand more people can protect Fanyu City? It's a joke. Mi Fang's surrender is because he is afraid of death. What does it have to do with me?"

Liu Feng shook his head gently. Now that the matter is coming, he still seeks responsibility. What's the point! He entered the harem from the small door next to him and said to a guard under the steps of the inner hall: "Please report to the lord, just say I have an emergency to report."

"Please wait for the general!"

The guard went in and reported, and came out for a moment and said, "Uncle, please come in."

Liu Feng quickly walked into the inner hall and saw his father Liu Bei sitting alone at the table, looking outside the roof in a daze. Liu Feng hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Child Liu Feng greets his father!"

"Feng'er, what emergency is there?"

Liu Feng was Liu Bei's righteousness. Although he was called his father, Liu Bei did not value him. In Liu Bei's eyes, he was not as good as Zhang Bao and Guan Xing. It was just because of his appearance that Liu Bei reluctantly used him to defend the city. The fundamental reason was that Liu Feng did not defend the Wucheng back then, which led to the failure of Liu Bei's plan to enter Shu, which made Liu Bei still resentful of him.

Liu Feng knew this well, so Chen Yao advised him to persuade his father to surrender, but he didn't dare to go. Liu Feng took out Liu Jing's handwritten letter and presented it to Liu Bei, "Father, this is a letter from outside the city, it is a handwritten letter from King Liu Jing of Han to his father."

Liu Bei was excited and quickly took the letter. He opened it a little impatiently. The letter said, "After many years of separation, my uncle is in good health? My nephew has been looking forward to re-talking with my uncle, but I have no chance. Last month, my nephew heard Sima Zhongda talk about his uncle. My uncle was still unable to adapt to the heat of Nanyue, and was plagued by illness, and his health became worse and worse. My nephew was uneasy. He specially bought a beautiful house for his uncle and asked his uncle to come to Chang'an to recuperate in his old age...'

Liu Jing wrote very politely, just like the family letter written by a distant nephew to his uncle, with a sincere tone, without any sarcasm. In the letter, he praised Liu Bei for being kind and loving the people. 'Today, I think about the reincarnation of the Nine Cauldrons is coming soon. My uncle is the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty. He should take the people's livelihood in Jiaozhou as his kind heart, and take the people in Jiaozhou in the Han Dynasty. My nephew should respect the rituals of the emperor, treat the title of the Duke of the State, and give the position of the wei. I hope my uncle will think about the people's livelihood in Jiaozhou as soon as possible, and my nephew will sweep the bed to wait..."

This is a tactful letter of persuasion. Although there is no threatening tone in the letter, it is clearly stated that once the war begins, life will be devastated and the people of Jiaozhou will fall into trouble.

Liu Bei sighed for a while and asked Liu Feng again: "May Feng'er defend Fan Yu?"

Liu Feng shed tears and said, "The child led a weak brigade of 5,000 militia to resist the army of tigers and wolves. If the city cannot be preserved, the child will die in the battlefield and repay his father's kindness for raising him."

"Don't say such things, I'll just ask you, how long can the city last?"

"Reporting to my father, the morale of the army has been shaken. The defenders of Beicheng attempted to open the city and surrender. As long as the Han army attacked the city, the city would fall immediately and would not be able to defend for a moment."

Liu Bei stood up and walked slowly towards the outer hall with his hands behind his back. In the outer hall, everyone was still arguing about countermeasures. At this time, when they saw their lord come out, they all made way and stopped arguing.

Liu Bei sat down and said to everyone in tears: "You have originally relied on Liu Bei and are willing to seek a future with Liu Bei. However, Liu Bei's rotten wood cannot be carved again, which disappoints everyone."

Everyone looked at each other, and Huang Quan said anxiously: "Why did the lord say this?"

Liu Bei waved his hand, "Now the army is approaching, Fan Yu is no longer safe. I am ready to surrender to the Han army. With the politeness of the Han King, I will definitely treat you well. I also wish you a bright future and apologize to you here first."

Liu Bei knelt down and bowed deeply to everyone, scaring everyone to kneel down and reply to the salute. Wang Lei said in tears: "General Guan should know that Fan Yu is in danger, and the military advisor may have arrived outside the city. Why doesn't the lord hold on for two more days?"

At this moment, Chen Yao rushed in and shouted: "Uncle Emperor, something is not good, the North City defenders have opened the city to surrender!"

Everyone was shocked, and Huang Quan asked again: "Can the Han army enter the city?"

"The Han army only controlled the city gate, but the army did not enter the city."

Liu Bei understood the meaning of the Han army, and was waiting for his reply. Speaking of which, Liu Jing was considered to be full of righteousness. He sighed, "No need to say anything more. Pass my order and the whole army surrender!"

...........

The city gate was broken, which meant that Fanyu City had fallen. Outside the North City, a large floating bridge had been built. Teams of Jiaozhou soldiers put down their weapons and walked out of the city gate. They were led by Han soldiers to gather outside the North City. Five thousand soldiers quickly left the city, and there was no more soldiers and guards in Fanyu City.

Gan Ning and Lu Xun led 5,000 armored Han troops to stand on the floating bridge, patiently waiting for Liu Bei's final surrender. Lu Xun considered that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both leading the army outside and the King of Han had another order to try to preserve the young and strong population of Jiaozhou, so the best outcome was Liu Bei's surrender.

As long as Liu Bei was willing to surrender, neither Guan Yu nor Zhang Fei nor Zhuge Liang would resist anymore, and would also surrender with Liu Bei, and Jiaozhou would be safely recovered.

At this time, more than a dozen officials came out. In order to govern Chen Zhen, he held the golden seal of the Jiaozhou pastor in his arms, and knelt down and said, "The emperor is old and cannot surrender in person. I specially asked Chen Zhen to hand over the seal of Jiaozhou. From now on, Jiaozhou belongs to the Han State."

After saying that, Chen Zhen raised the golden seal high above his head. Lu Xun knew that Liu Bei could not let go of this. He quickly took the golden seal and helped Chen Zhen up again. He smiled and said, "Jiaozhou and Han Kingdom are both the territory of the Han Dynasty. Now they are reunited. This is a good thing. The King of Han has an order. He has a friendship with the emperor's uncle and nephew. He wants us to treat the emperor's uncle well. Please ask Mr. Chen to report to the emperor's uncle that he can rest assured and the Han army will never disturb the people."

After saying that, he took another golden seal and handed it to Chen Zhen and said, "This is the seal of the Han State Wei. Please refer Chen to the emperor's uncle."

Chen Zhen secretly praised Liu Jing for his thoughtful thinking and gave him enough face to the emperor. In this way, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's army were relieved. He took the golden seal and returned to Fanyu City. Lu Xun gave Gan Ning a wink, and Gan Ning immediately ordered: "The army enters the city!"

The vast Han army lined up into Fanyu City. Fanyu City fell here, and Liu Bei's forces that were separating Jiaozhou were also destroyed.

.........

Liu Bei surrendered to the Han army, and he also accepted the title of Liu Jing to serve as the Han Guowei, and was ranked alongside the position of Fu of Jia Xu. Liu Bei immediately compiled a letter and ordered people to give it to Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei respectively. In the letter, he stated that he had accepted Liu Jing as the lord of the Han Dynasty and no longer fought for the world. He hoped that Jiaozhou would not suffer any more and begged them to put down their weapons and follow him to do his best to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.

For Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they followed Liu Bei all their lives, and they had no other choice, but their emotions were different. When Liu Bei announced his surrender to the Han army and passed it to Guangxin, Guan Yu was sad and ordered the army to disband. Those who were willing to surrender to the Han army would not stop him. He only brought Guan Ping and Zhou Cang back to Fan Yu and still followed Liu Bei.

However, Zhang Fei burst into tears and was excited. He wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide. Thanks to Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, both of whom hugged his arms. After crying, Zhang Fei ordered his troops to surrender to the Han army. He also took Zhang Bao and Guan Xing back to Fanyu City and prepared to follow his brother to Chang'an.

Zhuge Liang received the news that Fan Yu was defeated and Liu Bei surrendered to the Han army on his way back to Nanhai County. He was not surprised, but was deeply saddened. He had already thought that the Han army would come from the sea, but he was also hesitant and did not force Liu Bei to persuade him. In the end, his worries came true. The Han army came from the sea and broke through Fan Yu City, which had weak defenses, and made Jiaozhou's defense fail.

Zhuge Liang returned to Fanyu with great worries. In the Gaoyao County Inn, which was about to enter Nanhai County, Zhuge Liang could not sleep all night. From the ten years of Jian'an, he was loyal to Liu Bei. It has been a full ten years since he was loyal to Liu Bei. He was determined to support Liu Bei to the throne and revive the Han Dynasty. However, after ten years of hard work, he failed in the end. The lord he loyal to surrendered to the Han Dynasty. So where should Zhuge Liang go?
