Jianye is worthy of being a big city in Wu County. Its population density is as high as that of Jiang Ling. In the past few days, Liu Jun saved more than 100,000 people.
Pang Tong's strategy really worked. Liu Jun's actions, coupled with the newspaper propaganda, made the people of Jiangdong change their view of the Jingchu army! I dare not say that they accepted it, but the people of Jiangdong obviously became friendly to the Jingchu soldiers.
"Commander, Liu Jun is so powerful. Compared with Jiangdong's army, they can fight better and kill people without mercy. Let's retreat." In the Shanyue camp, a group of people were discussing the future of fighting Liu Jun in the past few days.
.
Yes, but they were afraid. Shanyue's camp didn't even have a camp wall. They just built some random tents with leaves and animal skins. Liu Jun had already surrounded them, and he didn't launch an attack out of consideration for the people they had captured.
During the battle with the Wu army, the Shanyue tribe hid in the mountains and avoided fighting, so they suffered no losses. However, they recently came out to rob and were defeated by the Liu army. Of the 50,000 people, 20,000 were already dead!
"Jin Qi, Mao Gan, the three of us came out together. What should we do now?" Fei Zhan, who was sitting in the middle, asked.
Fei Zhan was flanked by two commanders, Jin Qi and Mao Gan. Their military strength was not as strong as Fei Zhan's, so he naturally took the main seat.
Mao Gan was small and thin, but he spoke very arrogantly, "I'm afraid of birds. There are more than 60,000 civilians in the camp. If Liu Jun dares to come, we will kill all these people!"
Jin Qi sighed, "Mao Gan, you didn't go out to fight Liu Jun. Fei Zhan and I have seen Liu Jun's ferocity. It was a massacre. Our tribe is no match at all."
"Then what do you mean?" Mao Gan glared at Jin Qi.
"The only solution for now is to surrender."
"Fart! Surrender? Impossible, fight to the death with Liu Jun!"
"You fart! If we fight to the death, we will all die, and all our foundations in the mountains will be taken advantage of by others!"
"What are you arguing about? If you two want to die here, just let it go!" Fei Zhan scolded.
"Then what should I do?" Mao Gan glanced at Fei Zhan, sat down and said angrily.
Fei Zhan thought for a while and said, "Jin Qi is right. Let's pretend to surrender first. Liu Cong will also attack Sun Quan. If he finds an opportunity to run into the mountains, what can he do to us?"
Jin Qi asked worriedly, "Liu Cong is such an outstanding person, will he believe that we surrender?"
Fei Zhan hesitated and said, "Hand over the people and express our sincerity to Liu Cong."
Mao Gan immediately objected, "No! We have finally robbed so many people, why should we hand them over?"
"As long as the green hills remain, we don't have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as our sons and sons are alive, we can rob them of food, gold, silver, and population in the future!"
After Fei Zhan finished speaking, he stared at Jin Qi and asked, "Jin Qi, do you agree to this?"
Jin Qi nodded, "This is the only thing we can do now."
"No, you can surrender, but you can't hand over the people and the looted food." Mao Gan still objected.
Fei Zhan glared at him and roared, "If you don't listen to me, Jin Qi and I will kill you right now!"
"Huh." Mao Gan looked at him for a long time without saying anything, and then walked out of the tent with a cold snort.
Jin Qi is the weakest, Mao Gan and Fei Zhan are about the same, which is why Mao Gan dares to fight Fei Zhan.
Fei Zhan watched Mao Gan walk out of the camp, sighed and looked at Jin Qi and said, "Jin Qi, how many followers do you have?"
"More than five thousand people."
"You go and take the people to see the Marquis of Chu. I'll keep an eye on that guy Mao Gan here to prevent him from causing any trouble."
"What does Fei Shuai mean?" Jin Qi didn't expect Fei Zhan to ask him to see Liu Cong.
Fei Zhan said seriously, "What do you think of Chu Hou?"
Jin Qi said without thinking, "Of course he is a great hero."
Fei Zhan nodded and said, "Yes, we have been in the mountains all year round, and our tribesmen are just hungry, and some people starve to death every year. The Marquis of Chu Liu Cong is a well-known figure today, and he is good to the people. It is not a shame for us to surrender to him."
.”
Jin Qi was a little surprised and worried, "But we are not Han people. Can the Marquis of Chu really accept us?"
"The Marquis of Chu also has barbarian generals like Samoko under his command. I heard that one of the Marquis of Chu's wives is also a barbarian. This shows that the Marquis of Chu does not discriminate against the barbarians. Besides, the people and clans of our Shanyue and Jiangdong peoples are often intertwined.
.The Marquis of Chu can even tolerate barbarians, why won’t he accept us?”
"Think about it, instead of being a barbarian bandit all your life, why not surrender to the lord of Chu? The tribe can survive, and you and I working for the lord of Chu may not be able to achieve glory and wealth, and leave a name in history. Isn't this better than being in the mountains?"
Fei Zhan grabbed Jin Qi's arm and said, "I regard you as a brother, and that's why I say these heartfelt words to you. If you don't want to, we will pretend to surrender as before and find an opportunity to run back to the mountains."
Jin Qi knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "Fei Shuai, don't worry, Jin Qi will definitely fulfill his mission."
"You go ahead, that guy Mao Gan, he won't live long." Fei Zhan said, taking out the letter he had written a long time ago, "This is my handwritten letter, you give it to the Marquis of Chu."
"Fei Shuai, take care and wait for my good news."
At noon, Jin Qi drove the people towards Liu Jun's camp.
"Boohoo!"
"Stop whoever is coming!" Several knights rode up and shot arrows, shouting at the team.
Jin Qi quickly rode forward, cupped his hands and said, "Generals, I am Jin Qi, Commander-in-Chief of the Shanyue Sect. Commander Fei Zhan and we are going to surrender to the Marquis of Chu. Please inform the Marquis of Chu. In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to hand over the prisoners first."
the people!"
The knight glanced at him suspiciously and said to the people around him, "You guys watch here, I'll report it to the general!"
"drive!"
Riding his horse all the way to the gate of the military camp, the knight shouted loudly, "Light Cavalry Regiment, Third Regiment of the Scout Battalion, Chief Meng Quan reports the military situation!"
"Password!"
"Wu Yue Yiguang!"
"Open the door!"
"Squeak."
The camp door opened, and the knight immediately entered and reported the matter directly to Wei Yan. He did not have the authority to see Liu Cong directly.
"What?" Liu Cong raised his head and looked at Pang Tong and Wei Yan, "The barbarian leader personally led his troops and sent the people to surrender to Gu?"
Wei Yan cupped his hands and said, "That's what the scout who came back to report it said."
Liu Cong looked at Pang Tong, "Shi Yuan, is this reliable?"
Pang Tong replied, "My lord, they have even sent the people, so they should be reliable."
Liu Cong nodded, "Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, you two lead the troops to collect the people. Huang Zu, you go control the barbarians. Xing Daorong, bring that Jin Qi over."
"promise!"
"Squeak."
The camp gate opened again, and Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, and Huang Zu led an army of 20,000 people and rushed out of the camp.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"The Han army is mighty!"
"The Han army is mighty!"
Sergeant Liu marched forward shouting slogans. The barbarians in the distance were frightened.
"Herodus!" The war horse under Jin Qi's crotch neighed, and its hooves trampled restlessly.
"drive!"
"Kuding, dinging..."
"Hush!"
Wei Yan personally led five hundred knights on horseback, grabbed Jin Qi's horse rein, "Don't panic, I am under the Chu Hou's tent, Pingnan General Wei Yan, and I have been ordered to come to accept the surrender! Don't move, our Jingchu army will not
He will kill people at will, listen, don’t panic, don’t move around, anyone who acts rashly will be killed without mercy!”
After such a long time, Wei Yan had already been promoted from General Polu. (The generals in the Han Dynasty, from big to small, were Sizheng, Sizhen, Siping, and Si'an.)
"Don't move at all. Listen to General Wei's command." Jin Qi shouted hoarsely in panic, like a eunuch!
