Now Liu Biao really didn't understand. What was the purpose of giving such a big discount to Zhang Fang, but it was harmful rather than beneficial to him.
"Your Majesty, what we want is this name. As long as Zhang Fang dares to surrender now and is willing to surrender, even if Yuan Shu leads the army, he will not be able to go back. Yuan Shu will not let anyone surrender, and Zhang Fang will definitely
Try your best to resist, so what Xiang Lang said is exactly what it should be."
Huang Wan smiled slightly. Liu Biao's words were correct, but Xiang Lang's proposal was also the most suitable now. As long as Zhang Fang is willing to surrender, even if it is just a title, even if he is independent, it doesn't matter.
What they want is momentum. Once Jingzhou is captured, their momentum will be strong.
At that time, the world will definitely be more shaken, and those who are determined will definitely rise up.
"In this case, we will draw up an edict. As long as Zhang Fang is willing to surrender to the New Han Dynasty, he can be granted the title of king and pay homage to him. Nanyang can continue to be under his control, and all Nanyang soldiers and horses will be under his control."
Since Huang Wan and Xiang Lang both agreed, Liu Biao had nothing to say and simply followed their wishes.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Amidst the roaring mountains and tsunami, Liu Biao retreated from the court and rushed directly from Xiangyang towards Wancheng.
"Wan Gong, I have an envoy for you."
Huang Wan had just returned home, and Zhou Mao rushed over directly.
"Every letter has a messenger?
You come immediately to Xiang Lang, and the envoy from Xindu will bring him over to meet us."
When Huang Wan heard the letter, envoys came, Huang Wan was also stunned. Logically speaking, he had rebelled, which was an unpardonable crime. Yuan Shu should directly destroy it, and he would definitely not send envoys. This would damage the prestige of China.
"promise."
Soon Xiang Lang was summoned to meet with the envoy from Xindu.
"Are you Huang Wan?
But that’s it.”
When the envoy entered the palace and saw the old man with a long beard in front of him, he knew that he was Huang Wan, the initiator of the rebellion.
"How outrageous, seeing Mr. Wan being so disrespectful."
Zhou Mao looked at the envoy's arrogant attitude and shouted directly at him.
"Haha, if it were Huang Wan in the past, I might really have to clasp my fists and salute you and call you Wan Gong, but now in my opinion, you are just a group of rebellious officials and thieves, and a group of people who are about to die. As an empire, I
Envoy, how can I give you a good look?"
The envoy glanced at Zhou Mao. In his opinion, Huang Wan and Bai Wan were just a group of rebels.
"Come here, push it out and chop it."
Now Xiang Lang was a little angry and started to fight.
"Haha, don't you think Zhang Qi is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?
If you want to cut it, cut it, I’m afraid you won’t succeed.”
As an envoy, Zhang Qi naturally knew that this trip was dangerous, so he had already put his life and death aside and was really not afraid of Xiang Lang's words.
"slow."
Huang Wan raised his hand slightly and asked the incoming personal guards to retreat.
"If the two countries are at war, the envoys will not be killed. Huang Wan will not violate this rule. Tell me what you are doing when you come to Xiangyang."
Huang Wan glanced at Zhang Qi, wondering what he was doing here.
"Huang Wan, I declare His Majesty's decree. As long as you are willing to surrender at this moment, you will be spared the unforgivable crime. Otherwise, once the army kills you, not only you will die, but also the nine tribes will be executed."
Zhang Qi had nothing to say and directly stated Yuan Shu's will.
"Needless to say these nonsense, we are not afraid of death since we started the uprising in order to overthrow China and establish the Han Dynasty. If you have nothing else to retaliate, just go back quickly."
A flash of light flashed in Huang Wan's eyes. He had long been tired of hearing these things. He didn't believe that Yuan Shu sent people here just to show off his rhetoric.
"Haha, I can't tell you this until I meet Liu Biao."
Huang Wan wanted to hear something else, but Zhang Qi didn't want to tell him.
"Your Majesty is the Lord of the New Han Dynasty. You, a mere envoy, want to see Your Majesty. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Xiang Lang sneered on the side and looked at Zhang Qi with a flash of thought in his eyes. See Liu Biao?
Why do you want to see Liu Biao?
Could it be.
"You want to know, then I might as well tell you that although Liu Biao escaped from Xindu in the name of worshiping his ancestors, his wife and children are still in Xindu. If Liu Biao does not surrender, his wife and children will be captured by him.
Death has become the object of sacrifice to the flag."
Since Xiang Lang said this, Zhang Qi showed mercy to satisfy his curiosity and took out the lives of Liu Biao's wife and children.
"Does the mighty Chinese Empire actually want to do what it does to roosters, dogs, and thieves, killing women and children?
Since the incident started, we never thought about ending it well, so we told Yuan Shu that even if he really wanted to kill your Majesty's wife and children, we would not give in and someone would come."
Hearing Zhang Qi's words, Huang Wan was not surprised but overjoyed. If you don't kill Liu Biao's wife and children, I will kill them too. Since you are going to do this now, it will save you from having a grudge against Liu Biao.
"exist."
The two personal guards returned and came directly behind Zhang Qi.
"Aren't you going to kill my Majesty's wife and children?
Then I will give Yuan Shu a gift first and cut off one of his ears."
Huang Wan was afraid that Zhang Qi would not be able to do anything by then, so he directly ordered his ears to be chopped off. In this case, after returning to Xindu, Zhang Qi would definitely speak nonsense and encourage Yuan Shu to chop off Liu Biao's wife and children.
"promise."
As soon as the bloody light appeared, Zhang Qi's left ear was cut off directly. On the other hand, Zhang Qi just covered his ears and did not scream, only endless anger.
"Drive it out."
"promise."
In this way, Zhang Qi left Xiangyang City in humiliation with one ear, and gathered with the envoys outside the city.
"Sir, what's going on?
Liu Biaoan dares to do this?
I’m going to kill them right now.”
Seeing Zhang Qi's tragic situation, the captain in charge of escorting the mission became angry. Who does Zhang Qi represent? He represents Yuan Shu, and he represents the Chinese Empire. Now Zhang Qi's ear has been cut off. This is what Huang Wan is doing.
Slapping the Chinese Empire in the mouth is intolerable.
"Xio's anger, return to Xindu immediately."
Zhang Qi held down the angry captain. If he could have killed him, he would have done it. He only had so many people, and it was impossible to kill him. Instead of being incompetent and furious here, it would be better to return to Xindu quickly and report the situation here.
To Yuan Shu.
"promise."
After hearing Zhang Qi's words, everyone suppressed their anger and rushed towards Xindu to protect him.
"Mr. Wan, Yuan Shu's envoy has left."
After watching Zhang Qi and the others leave, Zhou Mao led his people back directly.
"Sir, I am afraid that Yuan Shu will not kill Liu Jingsheng's wife and children."
Xiang Lang glanced at Huang Wan, with a flash of wisdom in his eyes.
"Liu Jingsheng's wife and children are still alive, and I still feel uneasy. Originally we were the ones to take action, but now it is more appropriate for Yuan Shu to do it."
Huang Wan nodded. This is what he meant now. He had never wanted to keep Liu Biao's wife and children. Now that Yuan Shu has done it, they will save themselves trouble.
"Well, let's celebrate in advance. Liu Biao and Yuan Shu have become mortal enemies. I wish the New Han Dynasty can overthrow China and build the Han state."
Zhou Mao also smiled slightly. Although he was not as smart as the two of them, he was not a fool either.
“Celebrate in advance.”
"Yes, celebrate."
The situation in Jingzhou became more and more intense with Yuan Shu's acquiescence. Zhang Fang, the prefect of Nanyang, received the messenger from Xiangyang. After understanding their meaning, he also fell silent.
"Sir, what do you think?"
Zhou Bi, Zhang Fang's chief clerk, glanced at him and asked Zhang Fang directly what he thought.
"what are you thinking."
Since Zhou Bi asked the question, Zhang Fang also asked him back.
"The thieves in Jingzhou are powerful now. They have refined their soldiers and have great plans. Your Majesty wants to put an end to the rebellion in Jingzhou and needs time to mobilize a large army. Although we have many soldiers and horses, we do not have the enemy's elites.
If this continues, we may really be captured by them. Instead of doing this, it is better to retreat and pretend to surrender to the New Han Dynasty. When His Majesty's army arrives, we will immediately gather our flags to rebel and assist Your Majesty in capturing Jingzhou."
Zhou Bi looked at Zhang Fang and directly said what was in his heart.
"You only thought about this, but you didn't think about why Xinhan made such a heavy promise to ask Nanyang to surrender. If I were allowed to govern Nanyang, it would be more harmful than good for Xinhan."
Zhang Fang looked at Zhou Bi and shook his head slightly. He could naturally see these things, and he could only see further than Zhou Bi.
"Why?"
Hearing Zhang Fang's words, Zhou Bi was also stunned. Yes, giving Nanyang to himself is equivalent to laying a thunderbolt that may be repeated at any time. Why would the other party do this?
"They want to build momentum."
Zhang Fang was certainly not an ordinary person to become the prefect of Nanyang, a county with a population of one million. He had already guessed what the other party meant.
