All the generals stood up and responded.

Huo Qubing left two school lieutenants to stay behind. Some of the captured Wei soldiers had been recruited by Huo Qubing, and most of them were handed over to Luanzhou for disposal.

This is what Huo Qubing has been doing for several months after defeating Han Wei. Of course, he also sent people to control several counties near the pass to form the first line of defense to prevent the Wei army from sneaking.

Moreover, the army is always in combat readiness, every day is either training or Cuju, and the morale of the army is very good.

Huo Qubing gave an order, and the huge army began to move, and was soon assembled under the leadership of the generals.

Huo Qubing led the army straight to Jinyang, Jinyang was recovered by Jinzhou, and taking Jinyang to recover the entire Jinzhou was half the battle.

Moreover, Jinzhou is a mountainous state, high in the west and low in the east. Jinyang guards the key points and communicates with the main roads. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It also controls all the land and households in Jinzhou.

Therefore, winning Jinyang is a must.

...

Jinyang.

The Jinyang prefect stared blankly at the letter in his hand. It was information from Danzhou. The news that Li Yun committed suicide and that Chen Liu had been captured made the Jinyang prefect [Tao Tai] at a loss, and sat down on his chair in a daze. Come on, my mind is blank.

Seeing that Tao Tai didn't say a word, all the civil and military people in the hall looked at each other, they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they just sat there, waiting for Tao Tai to speak.

Tao Tai sighed, moved his uncomfortable body, and then said to everyone: "Duke Wei is dead, Chen Liu has been breached, and the Kingdom of Wei is over!"

"what!"

"It turned out to be like this!"

All the civil and military people in the hall couldn't sit still anymore. Once Li Yun died, what should they do?

"Tell me! What should I do next?"

Tao Tai supported his head with his arms, and leaned against the chair, feeling a dull pain in his head.

"Report!"

An urgent cry interrupted everyone's thinking. A soldier broke into the hall and told Tao Tai in front of him, "Duke Ming, traces of the Han army were found outside the city. There are at least 3 to [-] people!"

"Whose banner! Whose banner!"

Tao Tai suddenly stood up and asked.

"Huo... Huo... Huo... is playing the Huo flag!"

The soldiers were so frightened by Tao Tai that they stuttered even when they spoke.

Tao Tai didn't care about the rudeness of a small soldier, but sat down on the chair, with a flash of fear in his eyes, and murmured: "Huo Qubing is here, the Huo Qubing who defeated Han Wei is here..."

A general quickly said: "Duke Ming, we only have [-] soldiers and horses in our city, I'm afraid we can't resist it!"

"It's not that I'm afraid, but that I can't resist it at all. If Han Wei's tens of thousands of people can't beat Huo Qubing, how can we beat Huo Qubing with only 5000 people?"

An official stood up and said, "Duke Ming, why don't you ask the Han army to surrender? Duke Ming has the merit of dedicating the city, and he is quite prestigious in Jinyang. As long as he surrenders, the Han army will definitely treat him with courtesy. Duke Ming is needed! Isn’t it the same to serve as the prefect of Jinyang under Duke Wei and Duke Han?”

"You're right, you're right!"

Tao Tai pointed at the official and said, "You're right, we can't defeat Huo Qubing at all, not to mention that even Chen Liu was breached, and Duke Wei committed suicide. What's the use of us defending it? Without reinforcements, it is better to surrender!"

One of the counselors suddenly stood up and said, "Duke Ming, you have to think about it clearly. Duke Han is strict in politics, and he can't tolerate sand in his eyes. According to my subordinates, Duke Han will definitely not let Duke Ming be in charge of Jinyang. As the prefect, the Duke of Han will never allow Jinyang to escape from his control, so the best outcome for Duke Ming is probably to go to Beiping and become a rich man!"

"This..."

Tao Tai felt that what the counselor said made sense.

After hearing this, the official stood up and accused the counselor, "Scaremongering, you are trying to put Duke Ming in crisis. Let me ask you, according to your words, is Duke Ming unable to surrender?"

The official didn't wait for the counselor to answer, and continued to ask: "If you don't surrender, there are only 5000 troops in the city, and there are no reinforcements outside, how can you defend Jinyang City? It may be hard for a rich man!"

The counselor was so speechless by the officials, he just kept repeating: "I'm just thinking about Duke Ming. Even if we surrender, we can't open the city gate so easily. Duke Han is a trustworthy person. We can at least get Han Only with the guarantee of the general can the city be surrendered!"

"Yes, yes! That's right, it should be like this. Without the protection of the Han army, we must not open the city gate easily!"

Tao Tai was conflicted in his heart. Of course he was afraid of death and losing power. It would be great if Han Gong continued to let him be the prefect of Jinyang like Li Yun!

It's a pity, according to Han Gong's character, it's impossible in all likelihood!

Huo Qubing built a large camp outside Jinyang City, and ordered craftsmen to start building siege equipment. When the siege equipment is built, it will be the day of siege.

Zhao Ponu suggested to Huo Qubing: "Captain, why not send an envoy to the city to order the prefect to surrender, this will also reduce the casualties of the soldiers."

Huo Qubing nodded and said: "You are right, then you should choose an envoy to go there!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Ponu nodded in agreement.

At this time, a guard ran in and reported to Huo Qubing: "Commander, Jinyang City sent an envoy to ask to see the governor."

"An envoy? Let him come in, and let all the generals come over to see what the envoy in the city will say?"

Huo Qubing said.

"As ordered!"

The guard hurried down to deliver the order.

Since there was an envoy from Jinyang City, Zhao Puonu didn't need to send another envoy, he just accompanied Huo Qubing in the big tent and waited for the envoy from Jinyang.

After a while, several generals under Huo Qubing's command also arrived, and Jinyang's envoys were led by the guards to the big tent.

The envoy looked at the majestic and majestic generals in the big tent, his heart trembled a little, he forced himself to be calm, cupped his hands and said: "The envoy of Jinyang, Liu Guyi, pays homage to Dudu Huo!"

Huo Qubing looked at the envoy from Jinyang leisurely, and asked, "Since you are an envoy, why are you here?"

The messenger hurriedly said: "His Highness Duke of Han's reputation for benevolence and righteousness spreads all over the world. My Lord Minggong Jinyang Taishou Tao Gong has admired His Highness Han Duke for a long time, and today he is willing to surrender the city."

Huo Qubing sneered, since he had admired him for a long time, why did he only know to send an envoy now that the soldiers were approaching the city?

Really interesting.

Huo Qubing immediately said: "Since it is Xiancheng's surrender, then you should go back quickly and urge that Tao Gong, and quickly lead the officials and soldiers in the city, and go out of the city with the household booklet to surrender!"

Liu Guyi was taken aback for a moment, this is different from the imagined script!

Liu Guyi hurriedly said: "Captain, Commander, please listen to the next sentence!"

"put!"
