A series of banging sounds were heard, and the door of the Zhou Mu Mansion was directly hit. The quality of the door was good and it was not broken.
Although Guan Yu's army was very brave, they were still a little overwhelmed by Liu Yan's well-defended bodyguards.
"Second General, someone is coming."
Guan Yu arranged for the people outside to come directly to Guan Yu and report to him what they had discovered.
"Order the troops to stop attacking and prepare for battle."
When he heard that someone was coming to kill him, Guan Yu couldn't help but frown and directly ordered to stop the attack.
Soon Guan Yu's army immediately stopped attacking and began to form a formation to prepare for possible enemies.
"The general is worried about his affairs, so Zhang Song is here."
Seeing that Guan Yu's army was ready for battle, Zhang Song at the front spoke directly.
"Zhang Song?
Let them come over."
Guan Yu was relieved when he heard that it was Zhang Song who brought people here. Before he came, he already knew that the Yizhou nobles would send troops at the same time as him. Now that they came, it would be fine.
Zhang Song quickly led three thousand private soldiers to join Guan Yu's troops.
"General, I have brought three thousand private soldiers to support me. I don't know what the general is going to do."
Zhang Song glanced at the corpse on the ground and frowned involuntarily.
"Do the soldiers and horses you bring have bows, arrows and shields?"
Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Song. He needed bows, arrows, and shields now. Otherwise, how many people would have died if the Prefectural Mufu wanted to capture them.
"Of course there are bows and arrows and shields."
Hearing Guan Yu's question, Zhang Song also nodded. Unlike Guan Yu, how could he not have these bows, arrows and shields?
"Okay, then put your troops and horses under my command."
Guan Yu nodded, now that he is better, he still doesn't believe that he can't win this small governor's mansion.
"promise."
Zhang Song immediately handed over the command of his private troops to Guan Yu.
"Listen to my general's orders. All archers will release arrows to suppress the courtyard wall. Shield men will step forward to prepare to attack the wall."
"promise."
After receiving Guan Yu's order, a thousand archers bent their bows and set arrows, and rained arrows on the courtyard wall.
"Defense, defense."
Seeing the enemy's archers shooting arrows, the captain immediately commanded his troops to defend.
With the addition of archers, the situation instantly reversed, and the guards were overwhelmed and unable to lift their heads.
"Human wall, climb over."
Seeing that the enemy was suppressed, Guan Yu directly ordered his soldiers to use human ladders to climb up the wall.
"one."
"two."
"Collide."
"one,"
"two."
"Collide."
The courtyard wall began to climb over, and those who hit the door continued to slam into it.
"Lord, I can't stop you anymore."
Soon some personal guards came to Liu Yan and reported the news to him.
"Why can't you stop it?
Weren't you fine just now?"
Liu Yan immediately exploded when he heard what the guards said.
"Lord, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived. They are Zhang Song's private soldiers. These people are equipped with bows and arrows and sufficient shields. We were immediately suppressed."
The personal guard directly told Liu Yan the situation outside.
"Zhang Song and the others dare to unite with Liu Bei. They are really rebellious officials and traitors."
Liu Yan went crazy when he heard that Zhang Song actually led troops to help Liu Bei attack him.
"Lord, now is not the time to discuss this. The key is what should we do next?"
Dong Fu glanced at Liu Yan, "What you said about Zhang Song is useful now. The key is what should we do now?"
Liu Bei is about to attack, so there must be a countermeasure.
"Then what do you think we should do now?"
Liu Yan was a little angry. If I knew what to do now, would I still mention Zhang Song and those people?
"Lord, why don't we surrender now?"
Dong Fu was a little embarrassed to face Liu Yan, but it was already at this point and he had no countermeasures.
"You said surrender?
I am the shepherd of Yizhou. You want me to surrender to Liu Bei, a rebellious minister and traitor?
ah?"
Hearing Dong Fu's words, Liu Yan really felt that he had broken his guard. He was the shepherd of Yizhou and the supreme ruler of Yizhou. He actually wanted to surrender to Liu Bei himself. How could Liu Yan accept this?
"Lord, we have no other way out now. If Liu Bei's troops come in, you will be in danger."
Although Liu Yan had entered a hysterical state, Dong Fu still had to say what he should say.
"Danger is dangerous, why am I afraid that he will not be like Liu Xuande?
I don't believe that he dares to risk the disapproval of the world and attack me. I still have a hundred thousand troops outside. If his name is not upright and his words are not upright, how can those soldiers and horses obey him?"
Regarding Dong Fu's words, Liu Yan had already told the truth. If Liu Bei really ignored it, he would have set fire to it long ago, and he could have attacked the Prefecture Mufu with huge casualties.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Liu Bei may not harm you, but what about Zhang Song and the others?"
Although Liu Yan said so, Dong Fu thought of something deeper.
Liu Bei may be afraid that you will die all the time and will be unable to control the troops outside, but Zhang Song and the others don't think so.
After all, the commanders of the troops and horses outside are all Liu Yan's confidants. If they really follow Liu Yan's instructions and surrender, Liu Bei will definitely reuse them with the troops and horses in hand. In this case, the Yizhou gentry will inevitably be diluted at the center of power.
So according to Zhang Song, their idea must be to kill Liu Yan, and then use their influence at the middle and lower levels to help Liu Bei gain control of those soldiers and horses. This is the most beneficial behavior for them.
"Um?"
Hearing Dong Fu's words, Liu Yan couldn't help but be stunned. To be honest, he only considered Liu Bei's thoughts and did not consider the thoughts of the local nobles in Yizhou at all. If it was true as Dong Fu said, then he might really be in danger.
.
"Lord, listen to me. The situation is irreversible. It's not too late to surrender. If we are really killed by them, everything will be over."
Dong Fu looked at Liu Yan's face and knew that he had already thought of the possible situation. It was indeed not too late to surrender now. If the sword were to attack you, it would be impossible for you to surrender by then.
"Okay, let's surrender then."
Liu Yan had no choice now. For the sake of his own life, he could only obey Dong Fu's words and surrender.
"promise."
Dong Fu was relieved when he heard that Liu Yan decided to surrender.
"Shout, surrender."
Dong Fu immediately arranged for his personal guards to shout outside. He was really afraid of the enemy coming in.
"Don't attack, we surrender."
"Don't attack, we surrender."
"Don't attack, we surrender."
Waves of surrender sounds rang out from the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, and people outside were stunned when they heard the sound.
"what to do?
Liu Yan surrendered, why don't we take advantage of the chaos and get rid of him?"
Qiao Xu glanced at Zhang Song. Liu Yan's surrender really disrupted their rhythm. He originally thought that if he could take advantage of the situation, he would kill Liu Yan no matter what. Then Liu Bei would have to rely on his own locals.
gentry,
But if Liu Yan surrenders now, then the Dongzhou soldiers and foreign clans outside will definitely surrender to Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei will reuse him, he will not be too harsh on those who hold real power, because Liu Bei will also guard against the Yizhou nobles getting too big.
We need outsiders to balance things out,
At that time, the rights that originally belonged to them will inevitably be divided, which will be somewhat disadvantageous to them.
"No, now that Liu Yan has surrendered, if we do it in public, it will definitely give Liu Bei a clue. If he uses this matter to deal with us, it will be dangerous."
Huang Quan on the side shook his head directly. If they want to risk taking Liu Yan now, Liu Bei will really have other thoughts by then, and they will be really passive.
"So what do we do now?"
Qiao Xu couldn't help but frown, he didn't know what to do now.
"Now we can only follow the general trend and take Yizhou first, and then we can talk about other things later."
Zhang Song glanced at Huang Quan and expressed his opinion directly.
"good."
Huang Quan nodded to Zhang Song, that was all he could do now.
"Stop attacking."
Guan Yu also heard the shouts from the mansion and waved his hand directly to signal the troops to stop attacking.
After receiving Guan Yu's order, his direct troops immediately stopped, while the private soldiers of the local nobles looked at the head of the family behind him.
"The general has an order, so don't stop immediately."
Huang Quan glanced at Guan Yu and directly ordered his troops to stop attacking.
"promise."
The world immediately became quiet, and the troops who originally attacked immediately retreated to the rear.
"Lord, let's go."
Hearing that the situation outside had calmed down, Dong Fu directly clasped his fist at Liu Yan.
