Chapter five hundred and forty eight: persuade Xu Huang to surrender
There is a Kunpeng in the sky, spreading its wings and prides the sky; the six-rings are swept away, and the four seas are unified;
On the winter solstice in 202 AD, Chen Deng of Xuzhou surrendered to Dayan and led the Dayan Navy to Xu. Two days later, he captured Xia Pi, the Xuzhou capital. Five days later, he captured Chu County, Dongwu, Yangdu, Lingxi and Ju County respectively, and completely cut off the roads behind Wei and Wu in Pingchang City, forming a huge encirclement with the Second Legion outside Pingchang City.
The news spread and immediately caused the coalition forces of the two countries in Pyeongchang to fall into endless fear and anxiety.
In the government office, Xu Huang sat blankly on the main seat, his eyes lost their former glory. Chen Deng's betrayal at this time was fatal to the entire Wei Dynasty.
"It's over, it's over completely." Chen Qun sighed deeply.
"Xia Pi was taken away, and hundreds of thousands of loads of food and grass were all returned to Dayan. At most ten days later, our army would face the danger of shortage of food, and they would collapse without fighting." On the other hand, Zang Ba, who was calm and had strong beards, said in despair, and did not have the courage of the past.
"The overall situation is determined, everything is over." Lu Su was also in the hall again, and tears appeared in his eyes. First, a large number of elites such as Zhou Yu and the State of Wu were captured, and now Chen Deng rebelled again. Xuzhou was over, Central Plains was over, and Wu was over, and the world was over, and they would all be prisoners under the ranks.
"Chen Yuanlong" Xu Huang suddenly let out an extremely unwilling cry, and punched the desk with both fists.
"General, Yuan Ping sent an envoy." At this time, a deputy general suddenly ran in to report.
Xu Huang's eyes narrowed, he slowly raised his head, and said in a cold tone: "What else does he want to do?"
"What else can be there? It's just persuading surrender," Lu Su said lightly.
"He dreamed that he would never surrender to Dayan even if he died," Xu Huang said angrily.
"General, don't be angry, let's see what Yuan Ping said?" Chen Qun advised helplessly.
Xu Huang clenched his fists tightly. After a long time of silence, he uttered a few words with difficulty and said, "Bring in."
"promise!"
Not long after, a man wearing the fifth-rank official uniform of the Great Yan Zheng, with a handsome appearance and extraordinary appearance slowly came to the main hall.
After seeing the four people in the hall, Chen Qun suddenly shouted in surprise: "Yuan Ji"
"Uncle" saw the man respectfully bowing to Chen Qun. He was really Chen Zuo, the third generation of the Chen family, currently a staff member of the Second Army, in charge of logistics supplies.
"Why are you here?" After being surprised, Chen Qun shouted with some concern. At this time, Xu Huang was angry and might have committed the act of killing the envoy.
"My nephew came here this time on the order of the marshal. I hope General Xu Huang can open the city and surrender and not do unnecessary casualties," Chen Zuo said honestly.
"Dream" Xu Huang immediately roared, and said with murderous intent on his face: "Since you are Changwen's nephew, I will let you go this time. Get out of here immediately and tell Yuan Ping that if you have the ability, come to attack the city."
Chen Zuo smiled slightly, without being scared at all, bowed and said, "General Xu Huang, the overall situation is now settled. At most, the entire Pyeongchang will be out of food at half a month. Our army can take Pyeongchang at any time."
"Are you scaring me?" Xu Huang's eyes became sharper.
"Yuan Ji, retreat," Chen Qun immediately ordered.
"Uncle, my nephew is not wrong. The marshal asked his nephew to come over, asking his nephew to tell General Xu Huang that as long as General Xu Huang is willing to surrender, the marshal can immediately report the king to exempt him from the original order to massacre the city," Chen Zuo announced loudly.
"What" Chen Qun's pupils shrank.
"General Xu Huang, you are a peerless tiger general, so you are naturally fearless. But have you ever thought about the lives of the sixty or seventy thousand soldiers in the city and the lives of tens of thousands of people? They may no longer want to fight. They want to go home and reunite with their families. They want to live a few days of peace. If the general is determined today, the Shu Kingdom has completely retreated. The five countries will no longer exist. The world should be unified, and the people should also enjoy the arrival of rule. The war for these decades should be completely over." Chen Zuoyu said earnestly.
Xu Huang was shocked and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Since Emperor Ling, the world has been quarreling, how many people have died, how many relatives have been separated, millions, or even tens of millions of people have been displaced, and now the king has inherited the decree and inherited the throne, why should the general be foolish and loyal?" Chen Zuo continued to persuade with a sincere face.
Hearing this, Zang Ba and Chen Qun both fell into trouble. If they could do it, they would naturally be willing to be loyal. But now the situation is very obvious and he will definitely lose. Chen Tan was right, why bother to add tens of thousands of troops and the lives of the people?
"Mr. Chen, I'm going to the Wu Kingdom, Lu Zijing, I don't know if I can tell you." At this time, Lu Su suddenly asked with anticipation.
"Mr. Lu Su, you have to ask Governor Zhou," Chen Zuo immediately smiled.
"It's true, how is Gongjin doing?" A hint of eagerness flashed in Lu Su's eyes.
"Mr. Lu, please rest assured. Governor Zhou is a great talent and has been safely sent to Yecheng. After the Central Plains is unified, the king will see him in person." Chen Zuo said softly.
Hearing this, Lu Su's face suddenly felt much more relaxed. It was better if he was not dead. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you."
"You have to be welcome, you will be a minister in the palace in the future," Chen Zuo said with a smile.
Lu Su was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Yuan Ji, come with me." At this time, Chen Qun said seriously.
"Uncle" Chen Zuo was a little surprised.
"Let's go" Chen Qun pulled Chen Zuo out of the main hall.
After coming outside, Chen Zuo said anxiously: "Uncle, my nephew's mission has not been completed yet."
"What else do you want to say? General Xu Huang is much smarter than he thought. Things are too much worse than they can. Let the general think about it carefully by himself." Chen Qun frowned.
Chen Zuo was stunned and immediately understood that he was indeed a little anxious.
"Yuan Ji, are you okay in Dayan?" Chen Qun asked with concern after a call bill.
"It's pretty good, but because of my third brother's affairs, the Chen family is not as good as the Xun family at present," Chen Zuo said helplessly.
"I heard about your third brother, I just don't know what it means. Is he qualified to discuss it when talking about it? The King of Yan didn't kill him because of our Chen family," Chen Qun said disappointedly.
"Uncle, don't be angry. The king didn't say anything about this matter in the end. In addition, the marshal also attaches great importance to our Chen family, otherwise it would not be my nephew's turn to persuade him to surrender." Chen Tan comforted,
"This is because you are a nephew, and the second is because the Yuan family was originally the leader of the gentry in the world, so they naturally have a good impression of my Chen family, but this is not enough. If there is a person as arrogant as your third brother in each generation, then no matter how great the foundation of my Chen family is, it will disappear," Chen Qun said seriously.
"What my uncle said is," Chen Zuo said hurriedly.
"This time you come to persuade the surrender is an opportunity. Maybe it can improve your status in the heart of the King of Yan." A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Qun's eyes.
"Uncle means" Chen Zuo was suddenly a little excited.
Chen Qun sighed and said, "Uncle didn't choose well, the Chen family will have to rely on you in the future. The world has been divided, and the King of Wei will not be turning the tables. Uncle will help you with your help and let you gain a firm foothold in Dayan."
Chen Zuo's eyes immediately showed a deep joy, and he bowed deeply: "Thank you uncle"
That night, the temperature was slightly cool. In a pavilion in the government office, Xu Huang and Chen Qun stood side by side.
"General" Chen Qun was about to say something, but Xu Huang waved his hand lightly and said blankly: "The long article does not need to be said too much. I know your intentions. Now it is indeed time to end. The King of Wei is defeated."
"General, God is so willful, so you can do nothing, don't blame yourself too much," Chen Qun comforted.
Xu Huang smiled bitterly and said, "Tomorrow, we will call the generals of each army to discuss matters, and we will announce something."
After giving the order, Xu Huang left directly.
