Chapter 150 Surrender (continued)

Yuzhang County was built in Nanchang. It was called Yuzhang City during the Han Dynasty. It is said that it was built by Guanying, the Marquis of Yingyang during the Western Han Dynasty. It was named after the Yuzhang Water (Gan River) flowing outside the city. It is also named after this place. It has been a place of beauty since ancient times.

The Han Dynasty used this as the base for pacifying Nanyue. According to the meaning of "Southern Prosperity" and "Chang Da Nanjiang", Nanchang County was established, and the Nanchang County Office was established in Yuzhang City.

Since the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, Nanchang has been the economic center of the Pengli Lake Plain. Because of its well-connected waterways, it has become a distribution center for goods in the Pengli Lake Basin. Properties from all over the country gather here, and commerce is very prosperous.

At the same time, because of the shipbuilding industry, Nanchang is an important naval base. Guluzhou, on the southwest side of the suburbs, is located at the intersection of Gan and Fu Er Rivers. It has a low terrain and appropriate water depth. It is the shipbuilding ground for Jiangzhou naval troops in the Southern Dynasty.

However, the situation where the sails of Guluzhou were covered by the sky have now disappeared. The warships that were large and small from here have turned into fragments in the battle of Sangluozhou. With the fall of the Shukou, the war quickly burned to Nanchang City.

There are eight gates in Nanchang City, namely the South Gate, Songyang Gate, Gao Gate, Chang Gate, East Gate, North Gate, Dongyang Gate, and West Gate. Now all these eight gates are open, and there are many flags of surrender on the top of the city.

Xu Yu, the prefect of Yuzhang, dressed in his official uniform and held the prefect's official seal, went out of the city to surrender with the civil and military officials of Yuzhang to welcome the Zhou army at the city.

Yang Ji, the chief marching supervisor of Lingnan Road, took the official seal presented by Xu Qi with both hands and handed it to the marching chief Zhou Faming, who was standing beside him, and stretched out his hands to help Xu Qi up: "I will be very pleased to open the door and offer the city to save the bloody disaster of the people of Nanchang."

"The heavenly soldiers of the country arrived, and some other island barbarians should take a pot of rice to welcome the king's army. How dare they behave in a carriage and overestimate themselves? They also asked the general to enter the city and preside over their affairs."

With such a stingy flattery, Yang Ji, who had been tested, did not change his expression after hearing this, but Zhou Faming, behind him, couldn't help but stumble: If you surrender, you will surrender, claim to be "a defeated general" and you can call yourself an island barbarian!

Bastard, if I follow the curse of the northerners, I am also an island barbarian!

Zhou Faming's mother, Chen, was the princess of the Chen State. The ancestors of the Zhou family were all officials from the Southern Dynasties. Later, they offended the vassal kings and were framed by him to rebel, and almost destroyed their family. If there was no such incident, his brother Zhou Fashang would still be a general in the Chen State. Zhou Faming might have already served as an official in the Chen State and led troops to fight with his brothers.

But in this way, we brothers may face the King of Xiyang at this time?

Amitabha!

"Zhou Changshi?"

"Ah? Ah, the official is thinking about the matter, please forgive me."

In the granary, Yang Ji was inspecting this huge "Yuzhang Cang" under the leadership of Xu Yu, and Zhou Faming was a little distracted along the way. After Yang Ji asked this, he came to his senses.

"You guys, start handing over immediately."

"yes."

The accompanying military officers began to take over the granary account books under the command of Zhou Faming. This Yuzhang warehouse was amazing and stored the autumn grains of the prefectures and counties in central and southern Jiangzhou this year, with about hundreds of thousands of hu of hu. Many of the grains were originally waiting to be loaded on board and transported to Jiankang, the capital of Chenguo, downstream.

Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yuzhang Cang has been one of the largest granaries in the Southern Dynasty except for the Three Wus. Nowadays, the number of households in the Three Wus is large, and local grain output can no longer support so many people. A large amount of grain needs to be allocated from other places, especially Jiangzhou.

This time the Zhou army attacked Jiangzhou, one of the most worrying problems of the generals was that when the troops were approaching Nanchang, the guard general burned the granary with fire. At that time, it would be really heartbreaking.

If the Zhou army took over Jiangzhou, they had to assume the responsibilities of the government. Once a famine occurred, they had to open a warehouse to provide disaster relief. If the grain in Yuzhang Cang was preserved, it would be very helpful to stabilize the hearts of the people of Jiangzhou, let alone these piles of grains could strongly support the next military campaign of the Lingnan Road marching in the Lingnan region.

Yang Ji walked around the warehouse, was very satisfied, and nodded to Xu Yan: "Xu Fujun has saved the food in Yuzhang Warehouse. The marshal will definitely be very happy when he learns it. This is another great achievement."

"I dare not take it. I just want to make meritorious service and do more to pacify Jiangnan by the royal army."

......

At night, Nanchang City was silent. Although Nanchang has changed its ownership from today, the curfew is still in place. The Zhou army camp in the east corner of the city is brightly lit and crowded. Listening to the movement, it seems that the soldiers in the camp are drinking and having fun.

Today, the Chen army in Nanchang opened the door to surrender, and the Zhou army then entered the city to station. The surrendered officials prepared a lot of wine and meat to reward the army. The reward banquet continued until now. It seemed that the Zhou army soldiers would not be able to stop drunk.

In the central army tent, Xu Yu, the prefect of Yuzhang, was drinking at the marching chief Yang Ji. The two and the generals present were all red. The smell of wine was enough to make others turn around and run away, but everyone was still happy.

"General Yang! The official has done this bowl of wine. Please feel free to the general!"

Both of them drank the bowl in one go. The wine is different from other places. It is a famous specialty wine in Jiangzhou, "Yichun Killing". It has a strong alcoholic power. Most people start to feel dizzy after drinking one bowl. If they drink two bowls, they will walk and fly. If they drink a few bowls in a row, they will definitely get drunk on the spot.

The generals present didn't know how much they drank. Although they were burping one by one, they still shouted "Another bowl". The attendant brought a roasted lamb. Seeing this, Xu Yu picked up the meat-cutting knife and diligently came forward to cut the meat for Yang Ji.

This was already the third sheep he had for Yang Ji, so Zhou Jiang was not prepared for the scene. Just as Xu Qi cut a piece of mutton, he suddenly tried to stab the sharp blade in his hand at Yang Ji who was close to him.

Beilu! Come on your mission!

With a long-planned plan to surrender, Xu Qi finally waited for the best opportunity to attack Zhou general Yang Ji, and then took advantage of the chaos to send out signals to the ambush soldiers raid the military camp and make an unexpected counterattack.

That's why should I try my best to reward the army and let the Zhou army soldiers relax their vigilance?

Seeing that the sharp blade was about to stab Yang Ji in the neck, the other party reached out and grabbed his hand, grabbing him like an iron pliers. Then he twisted his backhand, and Xu Qi felt that his wrist was about to be broken.

When his hand was loosened, his sharp knife fell to the ground. Xu Qi was easily subdued by the other party. However, the colleagues present were also easily subdued by the target during the difficulties, and were pressed to the ground like a lamb to tie his hands and feet.

Seeing the generals Zhou who were still drunk just now, they were all awake and were aware of their plans. Xu Qi knew that his plan had been seen through by the other party, and today's affairs would not be possible.

"Kill me, kill me!!"

Xu Qi shouted hard, but was pulled up by Yang Ji: "Xu Fujun, the Southern Dynasty has been exhausted. You can do your loyalty to Chen Shubao. What should the people in the city do?"

"You killed me, and even killed Zhou Jun in the city. What's next?"

"The Marshal's army is right behind. You can escape with your soldiers, but what about the people? What if the Marshal wants to take revenge? "

"Chen State has levyed more rent and labor. After so many years, if you are not corrupt officials, you should know that many people are no longer able to survive! But if they are willing to be buried with you for your loyalty, do you still have a conscience!"

He pushed Xu Yan out of the tent and looked at him. Amid the noise of drinking and punching, a large group of Zhou soldiers were already ready to go with their strong and strong arms, just waiting for the ungrateful ambush to rush in and die.
