In a blink of an eye, the three-day period had arrived. The Jingzhou army, led by Liu Qi, Cai Mao, and the Kuai brothers, agreed to go to the south gate of Xiangyang City to surrender Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng.

Xiangyang City is an important town in Nanjun, with a developed economy, surrounded by water on three sides and backing on one side. It is an important economic pass between north and south, and it is also the largest military ferry north of Jingzhou.

In just three days after opening the city, the flow of people from the four gates of Xiangyang City was like a tide, and the prosperous opening scene was soon restored from the war. The geographical location of Xiangyang City is one of the special geographical location, and the second is because of the special nature of this era.

During the Zhongping period, the economy was recession and wars were frequent. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the north of the north were lingering in many counties, causing prices to soar north and south. However, due to the relatively stable situation in the south, the price difference between the north and the south was huge, which led many Central Plains merchants to start to make the difference in southern materials.

Even though the taxation in counties and counties in various Han Dynasty was extremely high, even if there were bandits everywhere from south to north, under the trend of huge profits, many merchants still went into the sea and bravely joined this road to wealth.

But unfortunately, their current efforts will eventually be useless.

Because in the near future, Dong Zhuo will begin to mint small coins, and these small coins will flow into the Han Dynasty market at an extremely fast speed through the court, leading to serious currency depreciation, and cutting all the wealth gathered by merchants who took the risk of getting rich in the past two or three years.

In history, this terrifying economic bubble lasted for decades. Even after the founding of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, the development of the private economy declined, and even bartered at one point.

But now, the commercial circulation in Xiangyang City is still very prosperous.

Cheng Guo from Xiangyang City appeared on the horizon. Looking from afar, I saw that the migrant population outside the South Gate did not decrease due to the surrender today. There were more people stranded than usual.

If someone else knew that something was going to happen today, it might disperse the people. If you clear the south of the city, you would be afraid that there would be too many people to affect the plan, and you would be afraid that the innocent would be hurt.

But in the minds of the two bandits Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, there is no concept of "injuring innocent people".

On the contrary, there are more people watching in Xiangyang City. If the chaos is later, it will help them succeed!

For these two people, even if the people of the entire Nanjun are dead, they will never feel guilty or feel unbearable.

...

The third battalion of the Jingzhou Army stopped at a distance of 100 arrows from Xiangyang City. The third battalion was divided into three formations to display it, facing Xiangyang City from afar.

In the military formation opposite, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, one holding a white silk and the other holding the green seal and silver ribbon of the Xiangyang Order, walked towards the Jingzhou army step by step.

This is the standard process for surrendering. Holding the blue seal and silver ribbon means to return to the army and hand over the government to the city, and white silk or ropes and thorns means to be willing to be punished by the other party, even if it is to hand over his life.

Around the moat, the people watching the fun saw this scene and whispered to each other, commenting on the surrender. Some even gritted their teeth and glared at the two of them.

After all, during the period when these two people were in Xiangyang, they were in trouble. The bandits under their command raped and plundered, robbed money and grain, and did everything they could do, and treated the people of Xiangyang like cattle and sheep to be slaughtered.

Many people hope that the generals of the Jingzhou Army could use the white silk to strangle Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng to death.

Under the guidance of the two sides, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng had already walked to the point where the two armies were fifty arrows apart and stopped.

Seeing that the two stopped, Cai Maofang said to Liu Qi: "Young Master, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng have arrived, and you can go and receive surrender."

Liu Qi did not move.

He smiled at Cai Mao and said, "It's better for General Cai to go to take surrender on behalf of Jun Yan."

"I?"

Cai Mao didn't expect Liu Qi to give up the show of his face to himself, and hesitated: "Cai went to surrender, but Yu Li seemed to be incompatible."

"Otherwise." Liu Qi smiled and said, "In the last time Jun Yan sent Ren, Yan Ming had submitted a memorial to the court to express the general as the commander of the Nanjun County, and the Xiangyang defense of Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, was directly under the general's jurisdiction, and the general went to receive surrender. It would be legitimate."

Among the big counties, the chief lieutenant had a salary of 2,000 stones, which was slightly equal to the prefect's status. He was in charge of military affairs in the county. The imperial edicts of the court generally could not be directly reached by the chief lieutenant, and they had to be transferred from the county lieutenant. Therefore, the two were called "dare to speak out" and "dare to report". Moreover, the chief lieutenant of the Nanjun had his own set of subordinates, and the palace could set up chiefs, sacrificial officials, officials, historical officials, dependents, books, etc.

This position is like the county magistrate of a certain county, and is the dream life goal of many children of prominent families in the world.

After hearing Liu Qi's praise, Cai Mao felt very proud. A sense of arrogance wandered through his chest and reached Tianling through the hundreds of nerves.

He smiled and shook his head and said, "How can you be so embarrassed? Is it better to ask the young master to surrender on behalf of his father to be the right way."

"General Cai, don't be polite. I've prepared for the general." After Liu Qi said that, he winked at Liu Pan behind him.

Liu Pan turned around and shouted: "Hold the flag!"

A flag-guarding general had already prepared a soap flag, and the flag was rushing with the wind, and the black flag was embroidered with gold stitches.

The power of raising the flag completely lifted Cai Mao away, and his vanity and arrogance reached the critical point in an instant.

"Hahaha, okay, since that's the case, Mao is so disrespectful!" Cai Mao bowed to Liu Qi, then greeted several personal guards, and followed him to ride a horse to Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng standing in the field.

At this time, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were holding white silk and Xiangyang Order's seal and ribbon, bowing their heads and motionless.

But in their eyes, they secretly glanced at Cai Mao, there was a strong hatred and a surge of murderous intent.

Liu Qi looked at Cai Mao's back, sighed and muttered to himself: "The wind is slight and the water is cold... What is the next sentence?"

After a moment, Cai Mao rode a horse in front of Zhang and Chen.

Cai Mao looked down at the two men standing under the horse and said with satisfaction: "The two generals are the ones who truly understand the current affairs. The achievements of your two men today will be passed down in history in the future and will be passed down by future generations."

Zhang Hu raised his head and looked at Cai Mao with a proud look on his face... Cai Mao's smile became more annoying in his eyes, and the more he looked, the more annoying it became.

Zhang Hu's teeth made a creaking and creaking friction.

"General Cai, I have something to ask about. Since we surrender with sincerity, why do we still have to surrender here? Did you deliberately humiliate us?" Zhang Hu stepped forward and handed the white silk. While sending the white silk to his hands, his palms secretly touched his waist.

Cai Mao was proud of his spring breeze and could not hear the meaning of Zhang Hu's words.

"Hey, it's just a trivial matter, why bother with it? Since you let you go out of the city to surrender, that's the reason for surrendering. What do you do so much?"

[5200    www.bqg5200.biz] At this moment, a sound suddenly came from behind.

"The general doesn't move at this time, but when will he stay?"

This sentence has different meanings when different people listen to it.

To Cai Mao's opinion, it was to let him be surrendered quickly, and to lead everyone into Xiangyang City, no big deal.

But to Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, it doesn’t taste that way at all!

move?

It’s not certain who touches whom!

Just as Cai Mao was distracted, Zhang Hu suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and pointed it at Cai Mao on the horse and suddenly stabbed him fiercely.

The incident happened too urgently, and even the guards beside Cai Mao did not react in time.

Fortunately, one of them shouted: "Be careful, General!"

After hearing this voice, Cai Mao subconsciously pulled the reins and flashed behind him.

It was this action that Zhang Hu's dagger did not stab Cai Mao, but accidentally stabbed him on the neck of the war horse.

Blood gushed out from the horse's neck. The war horse was in pain and whistled loudly. The two hooves in front suddenly lifted up and jumped around on the spot, overturning Cai Mao off the horse's back.

Cai Mao was caught off guard, his back faced down and fell heavily on the earthen road.

"General!"

"Protect General Cai!"

"How dare you?"

"Protect Mr. Cai quickly!"

The guards behind Cai Mao drew out wide-handed swords, rode forward, wrapping Cai Mao on the ground, and taking great vigilance to prevent Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng from hurting Cai Mao.

Seeing that Zhang Hu missed the attack, he stomped his feet hard, turned around and ran towards the city.

The bandit army also sent elite troops to help.

At the same time, two cavalrymen rushed out from Xiangyang City, all the cavalrymen owned by Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng.

These two thieves were equipped with Xiangyang Arsenal, and were covered with armor all over their bodies, holding horse spears in their hands. At this moment, the horse spears were all raised high, and under the command of the two Simas of the army, they rushed towards the direction of the Jingzhou army.

Cai Mao was just now, with the help of the guards, stood up from the ground in pain.

He looked at Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng's escaped with annoyance, and shouted in anger: "Jiangxia thief! How dare you plot against me? I and you will never stop...Oh!"

The two thief cavalry who rushed out of the city divided dozens of people to cover Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, while the rest rushed straight to the direction of the Jingzhou army with horse spears.

The thieves are about to start fighting with their own side!

Although Cai Mao was cursing and not losing his momentum, he did not expect the two thieves to betray him and did not prepare in advance, so he did not dare to face the thieves and cavalry. He just ran for the formation under the protection of his own guards.

The people watching the fun outside the city were also frightened by the situation.

The people naturally didn't want to be involved, and they all exclaimed and fled in scattered ways. The city of Xiangyang was in chaos for a while.

In the Jingzhou Army's main formation, Kuai Liang and others also changed their faces.

"how so?"

Kuai Liang's face turned pale and he said tremblingly: "How dare the two thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng rebel?"

Liu Qi sighed and said, "The two are originally thieves and are fickle villains. What's so strange about rebellion? They said that these two thieves are not trustworthy, but General Cai just refused to listen..."

Kuai Liang sighed: "It's a pity that Degui did not listen to good words and forced surrender, which caused such a disaster."

Liu Qi stepped over Kuai Liang to look at Kuai Yue, but found that Kuai Yue didn't say a word, but just looked forward with a little doubt.

Sure enough... my little Jiujiu still didn't hide it from Kuai Yue, a smart man.

Liu Qi tentatively said: "Duke Yidu, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng have rebelled. Please ask the Duke to quickly order the soldiers to line up against the enemy... How can you be stunned?"

Kuai Yue was a little puzzled at this moment, but he couldn't figure out the essence for a while, but things were urgent and we should not be slow.

Kuai Yue immediately ordered his generals to let his troops and horses line up to meet the enemy.

Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Huang Zhong and asked, "This battle cannot be overwhelmed. Can Hansheng eliminate Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng?"
