Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 609 Liu Bei Please Surrender
"Is there any movement from Liu Bei?"

Liu Xie asked softly, now that Sun Jian is outflanking in two armies, endangering the foundation of his foothold, Liu Bei will definitely not ignore the safety of Jingzhou, and still lead the army to garrison Qiaojun and wait to fight him.

"After Liu Bei heard the news of Sun Jian's attack on Jingzhou, there has been no change at present, and the generals in the army have not returned to help. This is so abnormal, I am afraid there is a hidden mystery."

Xun Yu was full of doubts, and Liu Bei's actions surprised him.

The land of Jingzhou has to be rescued, even if it can't, it must be rescued, otherwise, how will the soldiers from Jingzhou under his command treat Liu Bei, and whether they are willing to work hard for him.

"Sure enough, what I was worried about will happen after all."

Liu Xie smiled bitterly. Now, he could tell what Liu Bei was planning. To be more precise, the Yizhou prodigy Fazheng who had passed him by had some incredible plans.

"Liu Bei is so calm, it is obvious that he has planned it long ago. The army is besieged back and forth, unable to advance or retreat. Is it possible that he wants to surrender? Now that our army has not heard anything, the lord thinks that Liu Bei is going to surrender to Sun Jian?"

Xun Yu was extraordinary after all, and he quickly guessed the general idea from Liu Xie's few words.

"Hiss, if this happens, we will really be in trouble."

Xun Yu shook his head, and secretly sighed that the method was really powerful. It not only helped Liu Bei break the dead situation where the army was besieged and had no way out, but also helped the Jingzhou army escape from the upcoming battle. The road to strength.

The two ministers looked at each other speechlessly, and when their eyes met, they had already communicated clearly what they wanted to say.

Half a month later, Sun Jian personally led the army to fight Liu Bei in Qiaojun. The two sides fought a battle outside the city. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Pan Feng showed their prowess. Only Lu Wenlong could fight against Sun Jian's generals. The rest all failed miserably.

Jingzhou was fierce, Fazheng was good at intrigue, Sun Jian was defeated in the first battle, and Liu Bei did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

As if they had developed a tacit understanding, the two sides did not fight again, and another half a month passed.

During this period, Zhou Yu led the Jiangdong navy to besiege Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu with heavy troops. After Zhang Juzheng got the news, he knew that Jiangxia was the most critical barrier for Jingzhou to defend Jiangdong, and he had to rescue him, so he dispatched [-] troops to support him.

Unexpectedly, only three days after the reinforcements left Xiangyang, Sun Ce led the odd army deep in alone, and came directly to the gate of Xiangyang city.

Xiangyang's troops were empty and its defenses were sparse. How could it withstand the fierce offensive of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong? After persisting for less than two days, he was captured by Sun Ce.

Xiangyang fell, and Jingzhou was shocked. Zhou Yu took the opportunity to order the army to attack Jiangxia. He said that if he continued to resist and break the city, he would destroy Huangzu's family. , not daring to fight any more, directly surrendered the city.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce led the two important counties of Xiangyang and Jiangxia. In addition, Liu Bei's army was far away in Qiao County. Jingzhou could no longer be defended. All the officials of the aristocratic families expressed their submission, and all nine counties of Jingzhou were owned by Jiangdong.

News of the fall of Jingzhou spread quickly to all parties. Before Cao Cao and Li Shimin could worry about Liu Bei losing their foothold, another news came.

After Liu Bei learned the news of Jingzhou's fall, he did not hide it. The army fell into unprecedented panic and panic. Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and other generals even asked Liu Bei to send troops back to Jingzhou.

Liu Bei sighed: "Jingzhou's fall is not what I want. Why is Liu Bei afraid of death? I wish I could take up my sword and return my old land with blood. However, outside Sun Jian and Chen Bingcheng, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce led the army to the north to encircle. The situation is like water and fire. Liu Bei is incompetent, since he brought all the soldiers back, he must bring everyone back safely, even if he pays for his reputation."

At noon that day, Liu Bei led his army out of the city to ask Sun Jian to surrender, and all the generals under his command followed him.

Sun Jian was puzzled when he heard that Liu Bei was coming to vote. Liu Bei was not incapable of fighting, and he could retreat to Sili and join Cao Cao before Zhou Yu outflanked him.

It's just that in that case, Liu Bei must be constrained by Cao Cao, and it is difficult to have a chance to make a comeback.

"What do you guys think?"

Sun Jian was puzzled and asked everyone for advice.

"This is a plan to separate people."

Zhuge Jin came out and said with hanging sleeves.

"Liu Bei is ambitious, and he is not willing to stop and admit defeat. This surrender is to deliberately provoke conflicts between our army and King Wu."

The war just started, and Liu Xie relied on the power of Li Jing, Li Cunxiao and other generals to defeat the two armies of Lu Bu and Li Jue.

Sun Jian's side is very different. It can be said that he captured the entire territory of Jingzhou without any effort. Allies, how could Liu Xie be unsuspecting.

What's more, Jiangdong's strength has soared, and with it comes civil and military ambitions.After all, in terms of apparent strength alone, they have not lost much to Liu Xie.

In the past, the friendship was due to Sun Jian's decision, and it was also because the strength gap between the two sides was too great, and it was difficult for Jiangdong to do what he wanted.

"Liu Bei is so scheming!"

As a man matured, Sun Jian realized that he had to give a compliment, no matter whether he accepted Liu Bei's surrender or not, this thorn had already been planted between him and Liu Xie.

"Ambition and hegemony are indeed a good thing, and they are not harmful!"

Sun Jian had no expression on his face and was planning in his heart. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, Sun Jian spoke again, saying: "Liu Bei is a hero. I don't want to lure wolves into the house. He wants to surrender to Jiangdong. I feel uneasy."

Lu Su heard the words and said: "Liu Bei seems to have known that the lord has this concern, so he sent an envoy to ask for surrender, and at the same time asked for marriage."

"Marriage?"

Sun Jian's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but think of Sun Shangxiang again.

"Liu Bei lived in exile for most of his life. He didn't marry two concubines until he was in Jingzhou. Now, he wants to marry Li Shishi, a famous Jiangdong courtesan, as his wife."

Lu Su said slowly, even now, he is still a little unbelievable.

Li Shishi is a female prostitute, her status is so humble, Liu Bei married her as a regular wife, she no longer has any face to speak of, and it is not easy to do a great job again.

Such a decision, if he is not really tired of fighting and wants to surrender sincerely, or he is very courageous, An Sunjian's heart is vainly hoping to revive in the future.

"allow!"

After a moment of shock, Sun Jian made a decision. Everyone was surprised and suspicious, secretly guessing what Sun Jian meant, and everyone's thoughts came alive.

Three days later, Liu Bei led the army to formally surrender to Sun Jian, and asked to return to Jingzhou on the grounds that the soldiers under his command were tired of fighting and homesick, and that they should hurry up to marry Li Shishi.

Naturally, Sun Jian could not be unwary of Liu Bei, so he only set aside one county in Nanyang for Liu Bei's army to repair, and ordered him to immediately send troops to join forces after his wedding.

When the news came out, everyone was shocked.
