Chapter 94 Shi Xie surrenders, Guandu battle

"boom!!"

Annoyed, Shi Xie clapped his hands, and said in a deep voice, "I still remember last year when Liu Bian's army of 30 in Jian'an took down Cao Cao's army of 30 lords. Could it be that our army of Shi Xie is stronger than those [-] lords' army? "

"You said you would fight me to the death, but do you know how powerful Liu Bian's firearm is?"

"That is an existence that can blow through the city wall. Do you really have the confidence to fight to the death with me, Shi Xie?"

Shi Xie questioned his soul.

In fact, most of the counselors here have never seen the power of Liu Bian's firearms with their own eyes, and they are all just talking on paper.

Now being asked by Shi Xie, they all chose to remain silent.

"Xiu Shu Liu Bian, I, Shi Xie, would like to leave the city and surrender, and I ask him to keep his promise." As Shi Xie spoke, he turned his gaze to Nanfeng, the white horse, "This letter still has something to do with Nanfeng, please go there yourself and tell me Liu Bian, when he goes south in person, I will lead the crowd to meet him!"

"This subordinate is obliged to do so!" Baima Nanfeng agreed without hesitation.

He could see that Shi Xie, who was exhausted, had lost all will to fight.

Time passed and it was already October.

Cao Cao set Wuchao on fire, and Cao Yuan's battle was imminent in Guandu.

Seeing the battle report from the north, although it is not over yet, we still know that Cao Cao defeated Liu Bian in the Battle of Guandu.

"It seems that it is urgent to go south and attack Shi Xie."

Liu Bian murmured.

"My lord, great joy..."

Suddenly, Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, Li Cunxiao, Chen Qingzhi, Lu Bu and others walked into the study with joyful faces to pray.

"So... Shi Xie is ready to surrender?"

"My lord is really unparalleled in wisdom and tactics, you can tell it at a glance!" Huo Qubing was overjoyed.

Not long after, Nanfeng Baima came with the letter of surrender, "My lord, I am ordered by Lord Shi Xie to come here to deliver the letter of surrender!"

Under Liu Bian's signal, Huo Qubing took Jiang Shu and sent it up.

The content in it is very simple, nothing more than Shi Xie's surrender, please Liu Bian to keep his promise.

"Okay, very good, you go back and tell Shi Xie that I will choose a day to go south to Jiaozhi and ask him to prepare everything. I, Liu Bian, is the son of Emperor Hanling and the former Young Emperor. I will never break my promise. .” Liu argued.

"Thank you, my lord~" Baima Nanfeng stood up.

"I'm hosting a banquet at the mansion tonight, and it won't be too late for the south wind envoy to stay for a few days before returning!" Liu Bian laughed.

Baima Nanfeng immediately bowed and said: "Please forgive the villain for being rude. My lord was sleepless and depressed when I left. I want to bring this news back as soon as possible to make him feel at ease. Please forgive me, my lord!"

"Since that's the case, then I won't force South Wind Envoy to stay."

"The villain will leave."

The white horse Nanfeng bowed and left.

"My lord, in case there is any fraud, the general is willing to go over and find out what happened!" Lu Bu stepped forward and said.

"..." Liu Bian was silent. After all, he was going deep into the tiger's den. As the lord, although he could indulge occasionally, he couldn't just go his own way.

"General Lu is petitioning, and I ask my lord to agree!"

Other generals remonstrated one after another, apparently what they meant was the same as Lu Bu's.

"Alright, General Lu, order [-] dragon riders to go to Jiaozhi with the white horse Nanfeng." Liu Bian nodded slightly.

Lu Bu knelt down on one knee, "My lord, I only need a thousand dragon riders, lest old Shi Xie think it's my lord, you're afraid of him!"

"This……"

On the contrary, Liu Bian was a little worried.

Lu Bu's face was determined, "If the lord didn't see me when he came, it would be deceitful. In the past, the general will be ashamed of the Han family. Today, I would like to share my worries with the lord!"

Seeing Lu Bu's determination, and feeling that Shi Xie probably surrendered sincerely, Liu Bian nodded in agreement.

"I will follow the white horse Nanfeng back here, and I will retire." Lu Bu pushed down.

After a while, Liu Bian got up and pointed to the map and said, "If everything goes well, we will be able to integrate Shi Xie's army within this year, and the army strength will reach more than 50. At that time, no matter who comes, we will be able to fight with them!"

"However, the battle between Sun and Liu is now at a stalemate, and the battle between Cao and Yuan will be decided within the year. Once we attack Sun Quan, Cao Cao will definitely be afraid, so I plan to wait for the time. What do you think?"

"My lord, why do you think that Cao Yuan will be able to tell the winner within this year?" Li Cunxiao asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

What History Tells Me...

Naturally, Liu Bian couldn't say that, he just said: "It won't be long before we know, just wait and see!"

As soon as these words came out, Huo Qubing, Wei Qing and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

The next day, Liu Bian set off with his army and went straight to Jiaozhi County.

In mid-October, the battle of Cao Yuan's army at Guandu was imminent.

"Cao Cao will win this battle, can you believe it?" Liu Bian rode on a black horse, surrounded by all the generals.

"Although Cao Cao has a strong army and horses, Yuan Shao will not give up. Cao Cao may not be able to win!" Wei Qing continued.

"I bet Cao Cao will win, ten altars of fine wine!"

Knowing the ending, Liu Bian naturally took the opportunity to shock his generals.

Li Cunxiao, Chen Qingzhi and the others all looked at each other with smiles on their faces, not saying a word.

"What? Didn't General Wei just swear by it just now? Why didn't he talk all of a sudden? If I win, you will give me ten altars of fine wine. If I lose, how about I give you a hundred altars of fine wine? How dare you bet on it?" A gamble?" Liu Bian said aggressively.

"Although Cao Cao won a small victory at this time, he may not be able to win Yuan Shao in Guandu. Since the lord is so interested, the general is willing to bet with the lord!" Li Cunxiao laughed.

"The last general also wants to try his luck!" Huo Qubing followed.

"Since the lord is so determined, it seems that there is no choice in the end, so I gamble along with it, trying my luck!" Chen Qingzhi stepped forward immediately.

"Hahaha..." Liu Bian looked up to the sky and laughed, forty altars of fine wine he was sure to win.

After a long time, the laughter stopped abruptly, and he asked again: "How long is it until Jiaozhi?"

"Report to my lord, we will be there in three days' journey." Wei Qing stepped forward and said.

"Be careful along the way, don't be careless, that Shixie is not without the possibility of false surrender!" Liu Bian reminded.

"Please rest assured, my lord, I have sent scouts to investigate, and I am always on guard!" Wei Qing said.

At noon three days later, the road was unimpeded and almost reached Jiaozhi County.

Before Liu Bian led the army into Jiaozhi County, Shi Xie and his subordinates had been waiting for a long time, among them was Lu Bu.

"See my lord!!"

A group of people knelt on the ground in fear, waiting for Liu Bian's fate.

Liu Bian was a little surprised that everything went so smoothly, but he was in a good mood. He got off his horse and helped Shi Xie up, "Get up!"

"Thank you, my lord~"

Shi Xie led the crowd to get up slowly.

Liu Bian was smiling. After all, there was no permanent enemy. Now that Shi Xie sincerely took refuge in him, he naturally had to show the attitude of his virtuous master. This was not only for Shi Xie, but also for the world to see.
