When he heard that people from Chengdu were coming, Qiao Zhou immediately ordered people to bring him in.
"grown ups."
When someone comes in, they directly clasp their fists at Qiao Zhou.
"Qiao Ling, why are you here?"
Seeing that the person coming turned out to be the Qiao family himself, Qiao Zhou was also stunned for a while.
"Sir, things have changed in Chengdu now. Liu Bei came to power and joined forces with our local nobles. Therefore, the head of the family asked me to come and tell you that you must stick to Langzhong and do your best to stop Yuan Shu's troops."
Qiao Ling directly spoke out Qiao Xu's instructions.
"Okay, I understand. Come here and arrange for Qiao Ling to go down and rest."
After hearing Qiao Ling's words, Qiao Zhou also nodded. Now that he was sure whether Zhang Jian's words were true or false, he had to make a decision.
"Um?"
Qiao Ling glanced at Qiao Zhou with a confused face, "What the hell is going on? You just said this and you let me go down to rest?"
It's too perfunctory.
"It's nothing. You are tired after running around for so many days. Go down and rest first. I will arrange a banquet for you in the evening."
Seeing Qiao Ling confused, Qiao Zhou was also stunned and explained to him directly.
"promise."
When Qiao Ling heard Qiao Zhou's words, she nodded and followed Qiao Zhou's people down to rest.
"Come here, call Zhang Jian over immediately to answer."
Seeing Qiao Ling leaving, Qiao Zhou directly sent someone to find Zhang Jian.
"Master Taishou, are there people from Chengdu?"
After waiting for two days, Zhang Jian came to Qiao Zhou again. He knew that it must be someone from Chengdu, and Qiao Zhou had already confirmed the authenticity of his news.
"Well, I just want to make sure what Xunzhou Mu said is true?
As long as I surrender, I can be transferred to another place as a single governor."
Qiao Zhou nodded to Zhang Jian. Ming people don't tell secrets, and Zhang Jian is not stupid either. He must have guessed that he was coming from Chengdu.
"As long as you are willing to sincerely serve me, it will definitely be true to send the prefect outside."
Zhang Jianchang nodded to Qiao Zhou. Since he said these words, it indicates that Qiao Zhou's heart is not towards Chengdu, but towards himself.
"Okay, then on behalf of Brazil County, I have decided to join Yuan Zhoumu."
Since Zhang Jian was so sure, Qiao Zhou had nothing to say and directly chose to surrender to Yuan Shu. His whole family followed him to Brazil County, and there was no way for Liu Bei to hold anything against him.
Compared to Liu Bei, Yuan Shu has a greater chance of winning. He would be foolish to serve Liu Bei and sacrifice his life to resist Yuan Shu's army.
"Lord Qiao Zhou's move is a wise move. I will go back and report to Xunzhou Mu immediately. I believe he will be very happy to know that you have abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side."
Hearing that Qiao Zhou decided to surrender to him, Zhang Jian was also excited and directly clasped his fists at him.
"Come, let me see you off."
"promise."
Soon Zhang Jian left Langzhong under the protection of Qiao Zhou's personal guards and ran towards Xun You's army.
After Zhang Jian left, Qiao Zhou directly arranged a banquet for Qiao Ling in the evening.
"Zhongyu, please go back to Chengdu directly after finishing this meal."
During the dinner, Qiao Zhou directly asked Qiao Ling to finish the meal and return to Chengdu.
"What's the meaning?"
Hearing Qiao Zhou's words, Qiao Ling was stunned. What's the rhythm?
This week is a bit abnormal.
"Tell Qiao Xu that I have decided to join Yuan Shu and let them seek their own blessings. Liu Bei is not a wise master, so I hope they can keep their eyes open."
Qiao Zhou glanced at Qiao Ling and directly expressed his decision.
"What did you say?
Have you decided to join Yuan Shu?
Don’t you know what kind of situation this will put the Qiao family in?”
Qiao Ling raised her eyebrows and shouted loudly at Qiao Zhou.
"Haha, if you want to give Liu Bei a try, haven't you considered what will happen if the Qiao family joins forces after the defeat?"
Looking at Qiao Ling, Qiao Zhou smiled directly. Qiao Xu regarded Liu Bei as a treasure, but he saw Liu Bei as nothing more than a piece of shit. As Zhang Jian said, Liu Bei, as a minister, could take down Liu Yan for both low and low crimes. He was not a good man at all.
Lord, how could I fight Yuan Shu for Liu Bei?
"Okay, okay, you are so kind, Qiao Yunnan, just wait. If you abandon your clan, just wait until you meet your ancestors in a hundred years."
Qiao Zhou had already said this, and Qiao Ling had nothing more to say, so he stood up and left.
"Come here, send Qiao Ling away."
Qiao Lingqi left Langzhong in a bulging voice and ran directly towards Chengdu.
"Military advisor, Zhang Jian is back."
After three days of running wildly, Zhang Jian returned to Xun You's army.
"Zilun, how's it going?"
Seeing Zhang Jian return, Xun You asked directly.
"Military advisor, fortunately you have fulfilled your mission. Qiao Zhou has agreed to lead the surrender of Baxi County. However, in exchange for his surrender, I promised him that he would be the governor of another place."
Zhang Jian directly cupped his fists and saluted Xun You, and told Qiao Zhou the results of his negotiation.
"It doesn't matter. Qiao Zhou was originally a learned man. It would be a pity if he really abandoned him because of the Battle of Yizhou. It is reasonable to change his place to become the governor."
Xun You didn't care when he heard Zhang Jian's words. Qiao Zhou had the ability to be a prefect, so he could be considered a gainer if he moved to another place to become a prefect.
"Military advisor, what should we do now?"
When Taishi Ci heard that Qiao Zhou had decided to surrender, he immediately took action.
"Ziyi, you and Yan Xing will lead the army to Langzhong immediately and take control of it first. Remember, Qiao Zhou is one of ours now. Don't be too harsh on him, do you understand?"
Looking at Tai Shi Ci, Xun You immediately understood what he meant. Since Qiao Zhou had chosen to surrender, he must capture Langzhong as quickly as possible to prevent him from going back on his word and causing another disturbance.
"Tai Shi Ci obeys the order."
"Yan Xing obeys the order."
With Xun You's permission, Taishi Ci and Yan Xing each clasped their fists, organized the suppressing troops and left the army directly, running towards Langzhong.
When the situation in Yizhou was strange, the 150,000 Southern Barbarian Army had also been assembled. Under the leadership of Meng Huo, they left the four counties of Yinan and began to go north, officially joining the battle for hegemony in Yizhou.
News of the Nanman troops sent out quickly spread to Chengdu.
"Lord, the Southern Barbarians have sent out troops."
Cheng Yu came directly to Liu Bei with the news he had just received.
"It's finally here."
After hearing Cheng Yu's words, Liu Bei also flashed a light in his eyes, the Nanman people are coming, and it's time to fight Yuan Shu decisively.
"Well, now Yuan Shu has two troops in Zitong County and Basi County. I suggest that he first go back to the Southern Barbarians and attack Yuan Shu's Zitong main force with all his strength. After defeating him, he can lead his troops to Dongguanghan County to encircle and annihilate Xun You's tribe in Brazil County.
"
Now the situation on the battlefield has reversed. Yuan Shu's troops were divided into two and launched a pincer-shaped offensive to attack Chengdu. The biggest advantage of doing this is that he can maximize the advantage of his troops.
But the disadvantages are equally obvious. If you are strong enough, you can divide them and annihilate them, defeating them from all directions.
After joining forces with the Southern Barbarians, they had more than 200,000 troops along the way. Both Yuan Shu's main force and his side troops would be much inferior, which gave him a chance.
"Well, you immediately contact the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo and ask him to lead his army north to Guanghan County. At the same time, leave 10,000 Jingzhou troops in Chengdu. I will lead 20,000 troops north to fight Yuan Shu decisively."
This time may be the richest battle Liu Bei has ever fought. There are 150,000 troops in Guanghan and Han counties, coupled with 30,000 troops in Chengdu, plus 150,000 Southern Barbarian troops, his side has
More than three hundred thousand, enough to suppress Yuan Shu's troops.
"promise."
Cheng Yu nodded, it was right for Liu Bei to go to the battlefield in person for a decisive battle now, and by leaving 10,000 elite troops in Chengdu, he could also suppress other people's bad thoughts.
Cheng Yu went directly to Jianwei County with a thousand soldiers to meet Meng Huo's army. At the same time, Liu Bei led an army of 20,000 men and headed north to Mianzhu, where he prepared to fight Yuan Shu in a decisive battle.
Liu Bei prepared his troops and horses here, and Yuan Shu was not idle either. Zitong, the governor of Zitong County, surrendered directly. Yuan Shu captured the place without bloodshed, and then his army went south to Fu County.
Chen Gongshui traveled along the west side of the Yangtze River, and the people he photographed went ahead and directly arrived outside Jiangzhou.
"I am an envoy under the command of Mu Chen Palace in Jingzhou. I have something to ask you to see the prefect."
