Time passed day by day, Chen Gong's navy sailed up the Shuo River, and after leaving Hanping, came directly outside Zhi County.
"Sir, Yuan Shu's Jingzhou Navy has arrived outside Zhi County, what should we do?"
The scout quickly reported the news of the arrival of Chen Gong Navy to the magistrate of Zhi County.
"what to do?
what to do?
what should we do?"
After hearing the scout's report, the county magistrate panicked and directly asked the officials around him.
"Your Majesty, now that the Yizhou Navy has been completely wiped out, the Jingzhou Navy is invincible on the river, and now that all the Han Dynasties have been owned by Yuan Shu, I think it will be difficult for Yizhou to resist. Instead of doing this, it is better to lead the way.
Everyone surrenders to save the people of Zhi County from suffering the war."
The county captain glanced at the magistrate in front of him and could only say this. After all, with Zhi County's ability, it was simply impossible to resist the enemy's army.
"That's right, Your Majesty, Zhi County has only a thousand soldiers and ten generals. It is impossible to resist the enemy's troops. Either way, you will die. It is better to surrender."
The county magistrate glanced at the county magistrate and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Then surrender."
After hearing the words of the county captain and the county magistrate, the county magistrate could only nod his head, and then announced the order to surrender.
"promise."
Soon a white flag was hung over the town of Zhi County, and people were sent to the riverside to express their willingness to surrender to Chen Gong.
"Military advisor, the magistrate of Zhi County sent someone to express his willingness to surrender."
After receiving the surrender message from the magistrate of Zhi County, Zhao Yun directly reported the news to Chen Gong.
"Detach a thousand soldiers and horses to garrison Zhi County, and also ask Zhi County to prepare grain and grass for shipment, and continue up the Shuo River to Changshou."
Now that Zhi County has been captured, there is no room to stay here. A thousand soldiers and horses are directly assigned to garrison Zhi County and then go to Changshou.
"promise."
After a short period of replenishment, the Jingzhou Navy headed towards Changshou.
Yizhou, which was still full of war, suddenly became calm. Yuan Shu's three armies were all on their way, and the same was true here for Liu Yan. A hundred thousand troops were stationed in Dongguanghan and Guanghan County, waiting for Yuan Shu's arrival. In addition, Dong
Fu also traveled all the way south day and night and came directly to Hanjia County.
"I don't know if you are coming from a distance, I hope you will forgive me."
Cheng Yu and Liu Bei got the news of Dong Fu's arrival and immediately went out of the city to greet him.
"You don't need to be polite, Mr. Xuande. I'm here with the order of Lord Zhou Mu."
Dong Fu glanced at Liu Bei and Cheng Yu who were greeting him and directly clasped his fists at them.
"Let's talk about it first in the city. We have prepared a banquet to welcome you."
Cheng Yu was also frightened when he heard that Dong Fu came with Liu Yan's order.
"Okay, let's talk about it later in the city."
Dong Fu nodded directly. He had been bumpy along the way, so he just had some wine to relieve his fatigue.
"please."
Everyone entered Yandao City together.
That night everyone sat in scattered places, singing and dancing. In order to entertain Dong Fu, Liu Bei specially found a few beauties to accompany Dong Fu.
"Sir, I wonder why you came to Hanjia County?
What's going on with Liu Zhoumu?"
When Dong Fu had finished drinking, Cheng Yu directly clasped his fist at Dong Fu.
"Now Yuan Shu's army is pressing down on the border to attack Yizhou. Master Zhou Mu wants Xuande Gong to lead his army north to resist Yuan Shu's attack."
Dong Fu looked at Cheng Yu and directly announced Liu Yan's intention to Liu Bei.
After hearing Dong Fu's words, Liu Bei and Cheng Yu looked at each other and saw the surprise in their eyes.
"We are the only troops in Hanjia County now. If we leave, how will the Southern Barbarians resist?"
Liu Bei thought for a moment and then directly clasped his fist at Dong Fu.
"Don't worry about this, Mr. Xuande. I have my own plan to deal with the Southern Barbarian tribe."
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Dong Fu smiled slightly and spoke directly to Liu Bei.
"What to do?
Don't know what to do?
Maybe let Liu Bei know?"
Liu Bei looked at Dong Fu with doubts in his eyes. He really couldn't think of any way Liu Yan could stabilize the southern barbarian tribe.
"The secret must not be leaked. Just leave with peace of mind."
Dong Fu shook his head. He didn't dare to talk about contacting the Nanman casually. The less people knew about it, the better.
"Okay, then we know."
Cheng Yu saw that Liu Bei still wanted to ask questions, so he gave him a look and then agreed to Dong Fu.
"Well, then please trouble Mr. Xuande to set off as soon as possible."
Dong Fu nodded, Liu Bei's people are still very knowledgeable, this is good, so as not to cause trouble for himself.
"Well, you must serve your lord well today. Then Liu Bei will take his leave."
Liu Bei received Cheng Yu's message, hugged Dong Fu directly, and then left with Cheng Yu.
"Zhongde, why do you want to stop me from asking? If we leave, Hanjia County will definitely be invaded by the Southern Barbarians, and not only Hanjia County, but also the southern counties of Yizhou will be poisoned by them. I really can't figure out what he has.
The method can appease the southern barbarians."
Looking at Cheng Yu in front of him, Liu Bei really didn't understand.
"My Lord, it is actually very easy to appease the Southern Barbarians. All you need to do is cede Yuejun County, Guangchang County, Jianning County, and Zangke County to the Southern Barbarians."
Cheng Yu glanced at Liu Bei and directly said how to appease the Southern Barbarians.
"You said Liu Yan wanted to betray Yizhou's interests?
Isn't he afraid that he will meet his ancestors a hundred years later?"
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Liu Bei immediately became angry. The Han Dynasty was a place that his ancestors had gone through all kinds of hardships to win. Liu Yan dared to sell the territory of the Han Dynasty to appease the Southern Barbarians. This was absolutely not allowed in his opinion.
.
"My lord, now Yuan Shu's army is approaching and he has gone crazy. Now if he really gives the counties in southern Yizhou to the Southern Barbarians, the Southern Barbarians will reciprocate and will definitely send troops to support Liu Yan against Yuan Shu, so I say
is likely to become a reality.”
Cheng Yu nodded firmly to Liu Bei. Liu Yan was urgently ill and sought medical treatment. He could definitely do it by uniting the southern barbarian tribes.
"I can't just watch Liu Yan sell out the land of my ancestors. I'm going to Chengdu to have a showdown with Liu Yan and stop his behavior."
Liu Bei frowned and looked at Cheng Yu, his eyes full of solemnity.
"My Lord, it is impossible to stop Liu Yan now. Even if you go to Chengdu now, Liu Yan will not change his original intention unless we directly kill Dong Fu here.
But in that case, Liu Yan will definitely not give up. Without hope, he will most likely surrender directly to Yuan Shu, which will indirectly help Yuan Shu and hand over the last piece of territory of the Han Dynasty, and we will definitely be shattered when facing Yuan Shu."
Cheng Yu looked at Liu Bei, lowered his head and thought for a while.
"Then what do you think we should do now?"
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but scratch his head. He didn't know what to do.
"My lord, since Liu Yan is crazy now, I think we can take advantage of him when he wants us to go north to capture Chengdu in one fell swoop and end his crazy journey.
As for the counties in the south, for the time being, Liu Yan’s idea was to cede them to the Southern Barbarians.
Then use the strength of the Nanman people to resist Yuan Shu. After Yuan Shu is defeated, the losses of the Nanman people will definitely not be small.
At that time, we will be able to lead our troops south, take back the areas occupied by the Nanman people, and even take advantage of the situation to directly eliminate the Nanman people who have troubled Yizhou for a long time."
