Seeing that Chaisang had been conquered and Gan Ning also entered the city to take charge of the overall situation, Liu Jing returned to the Panshui camp with peace of mind and ordered the kitchen soldiers to kill pigs and cows to reward the soldiers. Soon after, Wen Pin sent people to repay, and he had already received the reward.
Chaisang guard Xu Sheng.
Liu Jing was very happy. It was gratifying to capture Chaisang. Only by capturing Xu Sheng could it be considered a full achievement.
Xu Sheng was also a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, so Liu Jing paid more attention to him and immediately asked General Wenpin to bring him to meet him.
Xu Sheng was famous for his loyalty and bravery, and Sun Quan had been kind to him, so it would be difficult for him to change his ways, but it was not completely impossible to persuade him to surrender. It would be a pity to kill him without trying.
After a while, Wenpin personally escorted Xu Sheng into Liu Jing's Chinese army tent.
Xu Sheng looked very embarrassed at this moment, with disheveled hair and dirty face, and no clothes to cover his body. In order to prevent him from getting violent and hurting others, Wenpin not only took off his armor and clothes, but also tied him up with the ropes cut straight into his flesh, causing blood to flow.
But even so, Xu Sheng didn't even frown.
In addition to Liu Jing in the tent, Pang Tong, Wang Can, Jiang Wan, Li Yan, Pei Qian, Xu Zong, Sheng Kuang, etc. were all sitting beside him.
Facing the strange looks from everyone in the tent, Xu Sheng had no awareness of being a prisoner. He stood tall and looked at them with disdain.
When the two sergeants responsible for guarding Xu Sheng saw this, they put a spear on his neck and yelled: "General, please kneel down quickly!"
Xu Sheng snorted coldly and closed his eyes without saying anything.
The two sergeants were furious and were about to use violence against Xu Sheng and force him to kneel down. Liu Jing stepped in to stop him in time and said: "Xu Wenxiang is a loyal and brave man with a heroic heart. Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated. Why bother?"
Make things difficult for him."
Liu Jing then said to Xu Sheng: "The loss of Chaisang is not the fault of one step. Our soldiers are brave and well-equipped. Since the beginning of the army, we have been victorious and invincible. The ability of one step to resist for five days is beyond my ability."
Unexpected.”
After hearing this, Xu Sheng reopened his eyes, looked directly at Liu Jing, and said: "I am just a nobody, but I can still deal with Liu Annan. There are countless heroes in Jiangdong, and famous generals like Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci, Sun Bi, Xu Kun, etc."
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Lu Fan, Chen Wu, He Qi...all are wise enough to defeat the masses and brave enough to defeat the enemy. The monarchs and ministers of Jiangdong are of one mind, and the people of Jiangdong are happy. Liu Annan plans to defeat me in Jiangdong!"
"Why did you say this?" Liu Jing shook his head and said with a smile, "My purpose of raising troops this time is to denounce Sun Bi for the people of Changsha. I only killed Sun Bi and had no intention of causing trouble with Sun Quan."
After hearing this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but sneer, who could he deceive with these words? Sun Bi and Sun Quan are brothers and share weal and woe. Can Liu Jing not know this?
Liu Jingke didn't care whether Xu Sheng believed it or not, and persuaded him: "I am from Xuzhou, and I am living in Wu due to the war. Why should I sacrifice my life for the Wu people? It is better..."
Xu Sheng didn't wait for Liu Jing to finish, and directly interrupted him: "Liu Annan, there is no need to say more! I am the guard general of Chaisang. Now that Chaisang has fallen, I have betrayed my grandson's entrustment to capture the captives. Without him, the only way is to die."
Report to the General, All Ministers’ Day!”
Seeing Xu Sheng's tough attitude, Liu Jing knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to wink at Xu Zong and ask him to try again.
Xu Zong couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even though Xu Sheng was reduced to a prisoner, he was still high-spirited and showed no intention of surrender. He was like the stones in the toilet, smelly and hard. How could such a person be persuaded?
But Liu Jing had his orders, and he had no choice but to obey, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said to Xu Sheng: "Xu Xiaowei's words are wrong. The king of Jiangdong is in Hefei. Sun Taolu has taken over Jiangdong and privately awarded seals and ribbons. It is not for us."
Sir, Lieutenant Xu resisted the righteous army and was defeated and captured. Why not just go and obey and help General Annan to pacify Dongyu, and I can look forward to being granted the title of marquis and worshiping the general in the future."
Xu Sheng was furious when he heard this, but suddenly he thought of something and kept his mouth shut without saying a word.
Xu Zong was greatly surprised by Xu Sheng's reaction. He thought he had been persuaded, so he continued: "I heard that Xu Xiaowei's family members were all intercepted, and there was an infant boy among them. I think he is Xu Xiaowei."
His son, right? Even if Captain Xu doesn’t care about his own life or death, he should think more about his family..."
Xu Sheng was silent for a moment. The reason why he didn't say anything bad to Xu Zong just now was because he wanted to leave a way out for his son. This was also the reason why he was willing to come to see Liu Jing. Otherwise, with his strong temper, how could he tolerate himself?
If captured and humiliated, he would have died in battle or committed suicide.
Xu Sheng sighed softly and said: "I, Xu Sheng, are incompetent and have made Chai Sang fall into the hands of my enemies. If I can no longer keep my integrity, won't I be laughed at by the people of the world? I will die today, and I will never live in vain. There is no need to worry about me anymore."
Although Xu Sheng and Xu Zong were colleagues, they had no friendship, so they were not good candidates for entrusting him. He glanced at the faces of everyone in the tent and asked: "I wonder if Zhuge Kongming is here? My brother Shishi and I have a long-standing friendship...
…”
To Xu Sheng's surprise, no one at the table answered. It was obvious that Zhuge Liang was not in the tent.
According to the original plan, Zhuge Liang should have sent troops from Changsha by this time. If he was fast, he might have entered Yuzhang territory.
Liu Jing was too lazy to deceive Xu Sheng, a dying man, and told him bluntly: "Zhuge's military advisor is not here. If he had not sent tens of thousands of troops out to the east of Liling, he might have captured Yichun by now."
Xu Sheng's expression changed suddenly. Liu Jing had no reason to deceive him. In other words, the Jingzhou army actually divided into two groups to attack Yuzhang.
Since Liu Jingqin led an army of 100,000 soldiers and marched eastward along the Yangtze River with great momentum, they all thought that the main force of the Jingzhou army was in the north and at most sent some guerrillas to harass the west, so they focused on defending in the north and neglected the west.
I never expected that tens of thousands of troops would be hidden in Changsha. Now Yuzhang is in danger!
Liu Jing stood up and said to Xu Sheng: "I have courage and talent, and I should have done something for the country. I really don't want to kill him, so I ask you one last time, are you willing to surrender to me?"
"..." Xu Sheng remained silent.
Liu Jing knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but sigh: "I don't have to worry about my wife. As the saying goes, 'the crime is not as bad as the parents, but the harm is not as bad as the wife and children.' Since I intend to entrust my family to Zhuge Military Advisor, I can take care of it first..."
Liu Jing indeed lived up to his name of benevolence and righteousness. Xu Sheng, who had always been unyielding and mighty since entering the tent, finally bent down, bowed deeply to Liu Jing, and then walked out of the tent without saying a word.
Looking at Xu Sheng's resolute departure, Liu Jing shook his head helplessly and sighed to his left and right: "If the Jiangdong soldiers were all like Xu Wenxiang, who would dare to insult them?"
In order to show respect for Xu Sheng, Liu Jing did not use knives and axes to divide his body, but hanged him with a rope and left his whole body.
After that, Liu Jing sent people to bury Xu Sheng in the north of Lushan Mountain, where he could see Chaisang in the distance. Unfortunately, other Jiangdong Army soldiers were not as lucky as him. To prevent the spread of plague, the corpses were gathered together, burned into bones, and buried hastily.
