The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Seeing that he opened his mouth, Ma Chao patted his horse and walked forward slowly, and stopped in a stone's throw.

"The general's request is very simple, open the door and surrender, I can keep the prisoner in the city and Xia Houchong safe.

If you resist stubbornly, you will be merciless, and you will be wiped out.All soldiers will be buried with you! "

When Zhang heard the words, he couldn't help but swayed, and almost couldn't stand still.

He understood that the other party was definitely not alarmist.

Because the boulder attack just now had left a shadow in his heart.

If the enemy wants to break through the city, it only takes a few more rounds, and no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be crushed.

Since Zhang was accompanied by a few people, when everyone heard the words, they all whispered: "General, why don't we surrender!"

"Yes, the enemy's thunderbolt cannon just now is powerful, even more powerful than the one invented by the king.

The city wall can't bear it at all, and it will only break the city sooner or later.

Rather than bear the wrath of the enemy at that time, it is better to open the door and sacrifice the city at this moment, which can also protect the safety of the soldiers under his command. "

Several people took turns to persuade them, and all wanted to surrender.

When Zhang saw these people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, he didn't get angry.

However, now that the enemy is approaching the city, it is understandable that everyone inside wants to surrender for their own safety.

Zhang Ji even guessed that if he disagreed, he might be eliminated directly by other surrender elements.

However, he was very worried about the safety of the main general Xiahou Dun.

The two had been friends for more than ten years, and at this moment when they heard that Cliff died tragically, they felt extremely sad and indignant.

"Ma Chao, I just want to ask you, what happened to my General Xiahou? As long as you answer truthfully, I will open the door and surrender!"

When Ma Chao heard the words, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

In fact, I just ordered people to say that Xiahou Dun had died tragically, just to use this to blow the morale of the defenders.

Now that Zhang has opened his mouth, he no longer hides it.

"General Xiahou Dun was forced by the general to the banks of the Jingshui River, and the general tried to persuade him to surrender, but he jumped deep into the Jingshui River.

Now even this general does not know his life or death. "

When Zhang heard this, he felt even more sad.

He took another hard look at Xia Houchong who was bound under the city.

Xiahoudun was dead, and in order to preserve a trace of incense for him, he couldn't continue to resist.

"Okay! General Ma, Zhang is willing to surrender, but I hope you will fulfill your promise to ensure the safety of Xia Houchong and others!"

"Don't worry, this general is not a murderous maniac. I will never kill prisoners!"

After Zhang heard the words, even if he had doubts, he had no choice but to believe them.

So, he finally made up his mind and led all his generals to the city.

After a while, all the city gates opened.

Then I saw Zhang Ji and others walking empty-handed, walking to the outside of the city to surrender.

However, Ma Chao remained vigilant and did not rush forward immediately.

Instead, they first sent a team of soldiers and horses to rush up to control these people.

After that, another horse directly entered the city, and he finally entered the city with confidence until he took over the entire Linjing City.

In the original hall where Xiahou Dun gave orders and discussed military affairs, it changed suddenly and became the gathering place for Ma Chao's generals.

At this moment, all the captured personnel in the battle are brought on the field.

The leaders are naturally Zhang Ji and Xia Houchong.

Ma Chao said with a smile: "You two generals, now that you have surrendered, why don't you abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side to serve Your Majesty?"

Xia Houchong was naturally unmoved, and only wanted to avenge his father.

And Zhang Ji also flatly refused.

Fortunately, he knew his situation and did not dare to speak ill of each other, so as not to anger the other party.

Seeing that both of them refused, Ma Chao was within his expectation.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to force the opponent, but only temporarily detained him, and made a decision after all Cao Cao's forces were wiped out in the future.

As for the captured Cao Jun, it's up to them to choose.

Ma Chao didn't have so much food to feed the captives, and at the same time it was impossible to let them go and return them to Cao Cao's hands again.

So he was only given two choices.

First, join Ma Chao's army on the spot and fight with them.

The second is to return home right away, but Ma Chao will not give them a grain of food or a weapon.

It is conceivable that the captives without any support may not be able to go far at all, and they will fall into crisis.
