There was dead silence in the lobby. Everyone, including Xiahou Dun, knew that the eldest son of the emperor, who Yuan Tan relied on the most, had been taken away by Guo Jia. Yuan Tan had no other choice but to surrender and die in battle. Yuan Tan's death or not has nothing to do with them, but they have to consider their life or death. Last year¡¯s Battle of Yanzhou made them understand the truth that there is a difference between surrendering without fighting and surrendering after fighting. The former is like Tian Feng, and the latter is like Shen Pei. No one wants to be a matchmaker, especially those from Yingchuan. Unlike the Jizhou people, they were not deprived of their lives by Liu Xiu. Yingchuan's family business was still there. Liu Xiu could at most suppress their career development for a period of time, but he would not be as ruthless as he exploited the Jizhou people. Be afraid to seize their property. Even the people of Jizhou are not willing to do trial mating. Although they have only their lives left, isn¡¯t the most important thing is their lives? What's more, this is not the life or death of one or two people, but the survival of the entire family. Isn¡¯t it a bit unworthy for so many people to bury Yuan Tan alone? Guo Jia¡¯s words were very aggrieved, but his meaning was very clear. This was not an aggrievement, but another kind of publicity. You can kill me, but the general will kill all of you to avenge me. I am very willing to use my own body to find an excuse for the general to eradicate all of you. Guo Jia can be very heroic, but others don¡¯t want to give him this heroic opportunity. So they turned to look at Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan's face was ashen, he knew that these people had abandoned him, and even the temporary alliance could no longer be maintained. For their own benefit, they want to be servile to Liu Xiu. Looking at the serious or ashamed faces, Yuan Tan suddenly laughed loudly. "My father and son were defeated in their due way." Yuan Tan threw down his sword and pointed at the civil servants and generals with different expressions. He burst into tears and laughed. Feng Ji sighed and waved his hand: "General He's in a bad mood. Why don't you help him go in to rest?" The two generals walked up to the back room with Yuan Tan in their arms. Yuan Xi looked gloomy and was about to leave with him. Feng Ji stopped him and stared into his eyes: "General, do you want to learn from your brothers and pretend to be crazy to escape the world?" Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment and slowly lowered his head. Watching Yuan Xi being half-pushed and half-pushed by Feng Ji to sit down at the main table, watching Feng Ji walking up to Guo Jia with an embarrassed smile on his face, watching Xun Chen and others with nervous expressions sit down again. . Xiahou Dun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the most dangerous time had passed and the initiative was all in Guo Jia's hands. He glanced at Guo Jia with admiration and sighed secretly. It seemed that Cao Cao's appreciation for Guo Jia was not just emotion. After intense negotiations in the middle of the night, before the first ray of sunlight shone on the city head of Yecheng, the gate of Yecheng rumbled open, and the pale-faced Yuan Tan walked out of Yecheng accompanied by Guo Jia and Xiahou Dun. He wore no armor. He didn't carry any weapons, he was wearing the uniform of an ordinary scholar, with his hands clasped in front of his chest. Arriving outside Liu Xiu's camp. Yecheng surrendered. Guo Jia walked into Liu Xiu's tent and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw everything in front of him. Liu Xiu sat behind the case, rubbing his eyes, his face was tired, his hair was a little messy, and he was still wearing the clothes he wore yesterday. There was some mess on the case, and it was obvious that he had been up all night, waiting for news from the city. "Your Majesty" Guo Jia choked up. He caught up one step and bowed before Liu Xiu. "Follow Xiao?" Liu Xiu calmed down and smiled when he saw it was Guo Jia. He stretched out his hand to help Guo Jia up, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Yuan Tan didn't do anything to you, right?" Guo Jia smiled and shook his head: "He doesn't have the guts." "Hahaha" Liu Xiu Extraordinary pleasure. Laugh loudly. "They say Zilong is full of courage. In my opinion, Guo Fengxiao is no less willing to give in. How about it, they surrendered?" "They surrendered. Yuan Tan was waiting outside the camp." Guo Jia told the story. , and said with some embarrassment: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, for taking charge of your own affairs. I have agreed to some conditions." Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and patted Guo Jia on the shoulder disapprovingly: "I agreed, so you can be safe. It's okay, it's better than anything else. I really don't care about the few acres of land and the manors. I believe Zhang Yan and the others can give me some face. " Guo Jia was very grateful. In order to allow those people to surrender, he agreed to some conditions that Liu Xiu had not originally intended to agree to. Of course, these benefits were not given in vain. Guo Jia wanted Yuan Tan and others to officially admit that the eldest son of the emperor had never appeared in Yecheng. However, this is just a scam set up by Yuan Tan to negotiate with Liu Xiu. ¡ The recapture of Yecheng represented Jizhou¡¯s return to the territory of the Han Dynasty. As a letter of letter was quickly sent to all parts of Jizhou, those counties and towns that were still resisting came to the rescue.He opened the city gate and formally surrendered to Liu Xiu. It was October in the golden autumn. Looking at the farmers preparing to plant winter wheat in the fertile fields outside the city, the Jizhou powerful men who had just walked out of Yecheng had mixed feelings. While they were holding on to Yecheng, their properties and manors basically changed owners. If Guo Jia hadn't taken the initiative and made some concessions, they would have only one life left. Seeing the wealth accumulated over the years vanish into thin air, their hearts were bleeding and filled with regret. Yuan Shao died, Yuan Tan brothers surrendered, and Yuan Shao's coffin returned to Runan for burial. The Yuan family's reputation in Jizhou became less and less, but the trauma they caused to the people of Jizhou will last for a long time. Neither can be bridged. However, compared to the Shen family who were moved to Linyi, Jiaozhou, they were a little lucky. After all, they can still stay in the familiar land. After all, they don't have to move their entire family to a wild land. After all, they still have a chance to make a comeback. ?¡ ?Luoyang. Under the bronze lamp, the little emperor twirled the thin paper, looked at the concise sentences on it, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, not knowing whether he was mocking himself or others. "The general won again." "Your Majesty, the general used his troops like a god, and with the help of General Wei, former generals and others, it was easy to capture Jizhou." Zhou Yu carefully glanced at the haggard face of the little emperor, Swallowed the next words. Although it was expected that Liu Xiu would regain Jizhou, he was still shocked that it took him only three months to regain it. Detailed military reports have not yet arrived. How Liu Xiu fought this battle is still a mystery. As a young man who is confident that he has talent in military use, this mystery is enough to make him yearn for it. "Gong Jin, are you tempted?" The little emperor glanced at him and suddenly laughed. Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded sheepishly. "There is no trace of the general's troops. I really can't imagine that he can solve the war in Jizhou so quickly." "The general is like a dragon. Since he is a dragon, of course it is impossible for others to find out the clues." The little emperor stood up and slowly He walked slowly to the map of the Han Dynasty and looked at it longingly for a long time. Zhou Yu silently walked behind him, looked over the little emperor's shoulder and looked at the map. On the map, there is an area where the ink is a little blurry. It should be the result of someone rubbing it with their fingers frequently during this period. Zhou Yu knew even with his eyes closed that it was the Western Region. When Liu Xiu was conquering Jizhou, the situation in the Western Regions was also changing rapidly. Murong Feng invaded many times. Zhang He, the chief historian of the Western Regions, and Xia Houyuan, the captain of the Qiang Protector, were already at the border. Even the Niutou tribe was moving westward. The war was about to break out. All that was waiting for was the general. News of the recovery of Jizhou. Although the Han Dynasty now has the strength to fight these two wars at the same time, Liu Xiu does not agree to do so. The reason is very simple. That would require additional taxes and loans from various states and counties. Liu Xiu believes that this is not necessary, and the war in the Western Regions is not urgent at this time. But Zhou Yu didn¡¯t know why the little emperor looked at the Western Regions. Was it because the general was going to send troops to the Western Regions next, or because the little emperor wanted to conquer the Western Regions himself? "Your Majesty, Jizhou has been recovered. Are you going to send troops to the Western Regions next?" The little emperor was silent for a moment and nodded, but he did not say whether Liu Xiu would send troops or whether he would do it himself. He did not answer the question Zhou Yu really wanted to ask at all. , but asked Zhou Yu a question: "Gong Jin, are you sure you don't want to go to the academy to study?" Zhou Yu shook his head: "I went to the academy to attend classes. I feel there is no need to waste this time learning those basic theories. I don't have enough time now." "In that case, are you interested in going to the Western Regions?" The little emperor turned around and looked at Zhou Yu with bright eyes: "Looking at the world, only the Western Regions have opportunities for actual combat." Zhou Yu frowned slightly. , pondered for a moment, and asked: "Your Majesty, do you think I should go?" The little emperor smiled, "This is not an order, just a suggestion. If you want to go, I can arrange for you to go now. If you don't want to leave home too much, "Far away, just pretend I didn't say that." Zhou Yu lowered his head and thought for a long time: "Your Majesty, if I go to the Western Regions and travel thousands of miles, it will not be easy to see your Majesty again." "I know, and I can't bear to have you leave." , but keeping you by my side will delay your future. You are not Yang Xiu. You want to make a name for yourself immediately, so there is no chance in the capital." The little emperor paced slowly in front of the map with his hands behind his back. , his voice was a little hoarse, but it revealed a maturity that was beyond his age. "The general also said that you are a born general, an eagle destined to soar in the sky. I cannot bury you and treat you as a funny golden bird." He raised his head and laughed softly: "Go, the sky in Xiliang is already very broad. I believe that the sky in the Western Region will be even broader." Zhou Yu bowed and accepted the order: "Wei! I obey your Majesty's edict." He paused and then said: "After I leave, ???Please take care, Your Majesty, and wait for the good news from me. "The little emperor waved his hand and smiled slightly: "You are a person that all the generals like. I believe you will not let me down." However, I would like to remind you that there are rules in the army. If you are unwilling to go to school to learn the art of war, you will inevitably be discriminated against when you join the border army. I can give you a position, but it is difficult for you to win the trust of the frontier soldiers. Therefore, for the sake of your future, I do not want to give you any edict. You must join the army in your own name. " Zhou Yu said: "That's what I'm thinking. I want to show those military students who come out of the academy that they can still become famous generals without entering the academy. " " Be ambitious! "The little emperor praised: "Sure enough, he is a bit proud. "Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
