After Gao Fei's order was issued, his subordinates went to implement it respectively.
Chen Dao, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, and Wang Wenjun led their soldiers to wrap arrows with letters containing news of Lu Bu's death, Chen Gong's death, and the defeat of Jin. Then they pretended to attack Ma Yi and shot the arrows with the letters into the city.
.
The Jin soldiers in the city picked up the letter. After opening it and reading it, they were all shocked. They spread the letter to ten and then to hundreds. In just a moment, the explosive news spread in the city, making the soldiers in the city very popular.
Afraid, no one has the will to fight.
Zhang Liao returned from outside the city and first returned to the county government office. Seeing Zhang Yang still sitting there helpless, he cupped his hands and said, "Sir!"
When Zhang Yang saw Zhang Liao returning, he hurriedly asked: "You went to see Gao Fei, what happened to Gao Fei?"
Zhang Liao sighed and was about to tell everything Gao Fei said.
"My lord... my lord is actually dead?" Zhang Yang was surprised for a while, then slowly regained his composure, glanced sideways at Zhang Liao, and asked, "Wenyuan, since my lord and military advisors have all died in battle, the Jin Kingdom is also dead.
What are your plans?"
Zhang Liao hesitated slightly and did not answer immediately.
Zhang Yang didn't ask any more questions and said directly: "Wen Yuan, since Gao Fei thinks so highly of you, why don't you just surrender? My master is dead, and there is no need for you to be loyal anymore."
Zhang Liao took off the helmet on his head, sat aside, and said slowly with a sad look on his face: "Sir, Zhang Liao's death is not a pity. It's just that Gao Fei used millions of people in Bingzhou to blackmail me. Even if I, Zhang Liao, want to
It is absolutely impossible to die. The Xianbei people are still under the city. Once a hundred thousand cavalry enter the pass, I am afraid that life will be ruined. I, Zhang Liao, am ashamed of my lord and the people of Bingzhou!"
Zhang Yang walked straight to Zhang Liao, patted Zhang Liao's shoulder gently, and said calmly: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. Now that the lord is dead, you don't need to be loyal anymore. Even if you don't think about your mother,
,
You should also think about the millions of people in Bingzhou. Since Gao Fei is determined to win over you, you might as well surrender. After surrendering, Gao Fei will definitely use you. Since he has a way to repel the Xianbei people, it will also be a tribute to the people of Bingzhou.
Grace..."
Zhang Liao said: "Sir, what about you? Won't you surrender with me?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Although my uncle Zhang Zhi and Lu Fengxian are not sworn brothers, they are brothers and sisters. Back then, the governor Ding Yuan asked me to assist Fengxian, but I couldn't make him strong. I have no face to face the governor Ding, let alone live.
.Fengxian is dead, and my heart has died with him. I can only die. Under the Nine Springs, being with Fengxian as a companion will not make him feel lonely anymore."
"Sir, the ants are still trying to survive. Wen Yuan, please think twice, sir!" Zhang Liao knelt on the ground with a plop and clasped his fists.
Zhang Yang laughed and said: "I have thought about it very clearly, and I am also very clear. When I was young, I wandered around the world. It was not until I met my lord that I was impressed by him and vowed to follow him throughout my life. Now that my lord is dead,
I’m not alone either.”
"Sir..." Zhang Liao sobbed.
"General, it's not good. The Yan army shot a large number of arrows, and the arrows were wrapped with letters. The soldiers in the city knew about the death of the lord and the military advisor. Now the whole city is panicked. When the Huns heard about the lord,
If he is dead, the city gates will be opened to welcome the Xianbei people into the city. The soldiers at the north gate can hardly resist..." A soldier ran in and said in a panic.
Zhang Yang hurriedly shouted: "Wenyuan, get up quickly. Only you can subdue the wolf cavalry under your command. Go and have a look. Once the north gate is opened and the Xianbei people enter the city, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Zhang Liao was surprised and said: "How could this happen? How could my wolf cavalry rebel?"
"Hurry and take a look. If you're late, it'll be too late." Zhang Yang hurriedly urged.
Zhang Liao stood up first and walked out.
When Zhang Yang saw Zhang Liao walking out, he said to the soldier: "After I die, you will all rely on General Zhang Liao. He will protect your safety."
The soldier burst into tears instantly, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Sir..."
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "Go, get ready. If Zhang Liao finds out something is wrong, he will come back. I don't want to die in front of him."
"grown ups……"
"Go quickly! Get out of here and do as I tell you!" Zhang Yang roared.
The soldier left with tears in his eyes and quickly rushed out of the county government office.
"Whoa!"
Zhang Yang took out the sword from his waist, closed his eyes gently, put the sword on his neck, and said softly: "Fengxian, we will still be brothers in the next life!"
After the words fell, Zhang Yang held the sword hard and slashed his neck hard. The cold sword edge made a gash in his neck. Blood kept coming out, and he fell to the ground.
After struggling for a while, he stopped moving.
Zhang Liao heard that the wolf cavalry was going to rebel, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Although the wolf cavalry were all Huns, they had little contact with the Xianbei people, and they had some feuds. In addition, these Huns who had joined the army were all strong-willed.
A man, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, he will never change his attitude. Even if he hears the news of Lu Bu's death, he will not rebel.
The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Zhang Liao rode his horse for a while and felt something unusual. Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly turned the horse's head and started running back.
He galloped to the county government office, got off his horse, and rushed in quickly, feeling an ominous premonition.
When Zhang Liao entered the hall, he saw Zhang Yang's subordinates kneeling outside, but Zhang Yang was lying in a pool of blood. He immediately rushed over, came to Zhang Yang's body, and cried: "Sir, what are you doing again?
Why bother?"
"General, please express your condolences and obey the general. We will follow the general to the death!" Zhang Yang's subordinates said in unison.
Zhang Liao was very sad. After crying for a while, he said: "I will give you a grand burial and pay my respects!"
…
Two days passed, and the Yan army remained outside the city of Mayi without any movement. But in the city of Mayi, filial flags were hung one after another, and the soldiers wore sackcloth and mourning, and they were all very sad.
Gao Fei thought that the people in Mayi City were mourning Lu Bu, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yang was already dead.
"My lord, two days have passed and there is no movement at all in Mayi City. Will Zhang Liao refuse to surrender?" Xu You came to Gao Fei's side and bowed and asked.
Gao Fei said: "Probably not. I know Zhang Liao. He will not sit back and let millions of people in Bingzhou ignore him."
"Lord... Governor Gai has brought Zhang Liao's mother..." Zhou Cang ran over panting.
"Oh, it's great to come. I was afraid Zhang Liao's mother wouldn't come. Come on, let's go take a look."
Gai Xun personally picked up Zhang Liao's mother and arranged her in the Chinese army's tent. He went to great lengths and had to talk a lot before picking up Zhang Liao's mother.
In the big tent, Gai Xun was still serving Zhang Liao's mother, serving tea and water to Zhang Liao's mother, as if she were his mother.
After a while, Gao Fei walked in.
After seeing this, Gai Xun hurriedly bowed and said: "See my lord!"
Gao Fei waved his hand to show his displeasure, walked straight to Zhang's mother, and said respectfully: "Old man, I'm going to give you my regards, Gao Fei."
Zhang's mother knew that Marquis Yan had come in person, so she stood up, looked at Gao Fei, and said: "Marquis Yan came in person, I am very flattered..."
Gao Fei said hurriedly: "Old man, there is no need to be polite. Wen Yuan and I are brothers. Wen Yuan's mother is my mother. Mother, I invite you here because of Wen Yuan. Now that Lu Bu is gone, Wen Yuan is on horseback.
The city refuses to surrender. I would like to ask Mother to persuade Wenyuan to surrender. I wonder if Mother is willing?"
Zhang's mother is an open-minded person. When she heard Gao Fei calling his mother, she hurriedly said: "Marquis Yan, this is impossible, I can't bear it. My son Wenyuan, I will naturally persuade him to surrender. Marquis Yan is very important to the people."
Very good, I also respect Marquis Yan very much, but I misunderstood Marquis Yan at first, so I came a little late, and made Governor Gai look bad... Now that I have come here, I will definitely go to persuade Wen Yuan, please don't worry Marquis Yan.
.”
Gao Fei said: "That's good. Mother has come a long way. Please rest here for a day. It won't be too late to go back tomorrow."
Zhang's mother said: "No, it is not advisable to delay things. If things are delayed, things will change. The Xianbei people are still here. It would be terrible if they attack the city. Please send me into the city immediately, Marquis Yan."
Gao Fei did not refuse, but immediately agreed and personally brought Zhang's mother to the city.
At the foot of the city of Mayi, Zhang's mother called to the city gate with faltering steps. Zhang Liao personally went out to greet Zhang's mother and ushered Zhang's mother into the city.
After Gao Fei returned to the military camp, he waited quietly. After about an hour, Zhang Liao left Mayi City, opened the city gate of Mayi City, and led some soldiers to greet him.
Gao Fei took the lead and hurried to the gate of Mayi City. Although he didn't know how Zhang's mother persuaded Zhang Liao, everything was under his control.
"The defeated general Zhang Liao led the city's seven thousand soldiers to return to the Marquis of Yan and let him be sent by the Marquis of Yan." When Zhang Liao saw Gao Fei coming on horseback, he clasped his fists and said.
Gao Fei turned over and dismounted, held Zhang Liao's hand, and said happily: "Wenyuan, I have spent a lot of effort to get you to surrender, but you can't run away now, hahaha!"
After Zhang Liao surrendered, Gao Fei immediately let the Yan army take over the entire city of Mayi. He had no time to celebrate the joy of occupying the city, so he immediately led his generals to the north gate of Mayi city.
Climbing up to the north gate, Gao Fei looked far away, and saw that there were many domes outside the north gate, and Xianbei people were everywhere in the mountains and fields, and the momentum was very spectacular.
"I didn't expect that these Xianbei people are more powerful than three years ago. It seems that it will take a lot of effort to deal with them." Gao Fei looked at it and said to himself.
"My lord, our army is thirty thousand, and the Xianbei people are one hundred thousand. There is a huge gap. I wonder if my lord has any strategy to defeat the enemy?" Zhang Liao then asked.
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are ways to make them retreat. Let's go back to the city!"
