The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 365 Liu Zhang Surrenders
The soldiers escorted Liu Zhang, who was disheveled and frightened, to Huang Zhong.

"You are Liu Zhang?" Huang Zhong asked after looking at him.

Liu Zhang looked at the unknown veteran in front of him, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you and why did you break into the State Shepherd's Mansion?"

Huang Zhong smiled and said: "I am General Annan under the command of General Chariot and Cavalry, so is Huang Zhong!"

"Ah!" Liu Zhang was so frightened that he slumped on the ground. It was really the Jingzhou army, and they entered the city!

Huang Zhong didn't have time to worry about what Liu Zhang thought. The most urgent task was to eliminate the Yizhou soldiers in the city, take over the city defense, and then welcome Zhang Wu into the city.Moreover, Liu Zhang and the officials in Yizhou are not within Huang Zhong's authority to deal with them. Now all he needs to do is to imprison his family.

Liu Zhang was captured, and Gan Ning's army had entered the city again. Huang Quan and others were caught off guard and could not organize a defense at all. Under the leadership of Zhang Song, Gan Ning led the army to capture the main civil and military officials in the city in one fell swoop , All were detained in the state pastoral mansion.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Wu Yi, Zhuo Ying, Zhang Yi and others had no choice but to abandon their armor and surrender. Huang Quan led his troops to resist desperately and was captured alive by Gan Ning.

The people in the city heard that the fighting was shaking and the flames were bright, and they all closed their doors tightly, panicking.However, the Jingzhou military was told before entering the city that they are not allowed to disturb the people, let alone burn, kill and rob, otherwise they will not be spared.

Therefore, the people of Chengdu and other officials waited all night in fear, but nothing happened.

After dawn, a curious person opened the door of the house to check the situation outside, but saw groups of soldiers wearing neat armor that had never been seen before to maintain order, and the people were not allowed to go to the streets for nothing.

With the help of Zhang Song, Yizhou's second-in-command, Gan Ning quickly stabilized the order in the city, and all the prisoners were escorted to the military camp outside the east city for custody.

Afterwards, Gan Ning ordered Liu Zhang to be brought to a house in the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Liu Zhang actually knew about Gan Ning, because Gan Ning was originally from Bajun, Yizhou.Later, Gan Ning read some books and wanted to make a difference, so he began to enter the official career, and gradually achieved the position of Jun Cheng.

After Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang took control of Yizhou. Gan Ning, Shen Mi, Lou Fa and others rebelled against Liu Zhang, but were defeated by Zhao Wei. So Gan Ning brought more than 800 people to Jingzhou and stayed in Nanyang.

Nanyang is the ancestral home of Gan Ning.

But Liu Biao looked down on Gan Ning, and Gan Ning also looked down on Liu Biao, so Gan Ning was going to Jiangdong to look for opportunities. When passing through Xiakou, the troops were not allowed to pass, so Gan Ning had to temporarily attach himself to Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia.

After that, I met Zhang Wu, and sworn brothers with Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, fighting all the way to achieve the current achievements.

Therefore, this time Gan Ning can be regarded as returning to his hometown, and he has revisited his hometown, but this time he came as a victor, and the once aloof Yizhou Mu has now become his captive.

"Liu Jiyu, do you know who this is?" Gan Ning asked with a smile, seeing Liu Zhang's disheveled and frightened appearance.

"You... who are you?" Liu Zhang asked.

"I am the Jinfan thief from back then, Gan Ning!"

"Ah! It's you!" Liu Zhang exclaimed in shock. He knew Gan Ning was a bloodthirsty and vicious person back then. developed.

Now Zhang Wu, as the chariot and cavalry general of the great Han Dynasty, is also the shepherd of Jingzhou and Yangzhou. He has become the overlord of the south of the Yangtze River and the second largest prince in the world.

Gan Ning said: "My elder brother kindly helped you fight back the enemy, but you want to murder him, you are really asking for death! But don't worry, I will not kill you, now Chengdu has been occupied by me, are you willing to surrender? "

At this time, can Liu Zhang not surrender?In the original book, when he was approached by soldiers, there were defenders and food in the city, and reinforcements outside, but he was so frightened that he quickly surrendered.

Now that they are all prisoners, what else can he do.

"I am willing to surrender, but I just ask the general to keep my family safe."

"That's no problem, now you write a letter asking Zhang Ren to give up his resistance and surrender to General Cheqi."

According to Gan Ning's instructions, Liu Zhang gave Zhang Ren an order to lead his army to surrender to Zhang Wu.

Gan Ning left 1 troops inside the city to take over the defense of the city, ordered Huang Zhong to lead [-] troops to station in the barracks outside the city to guard the prisoners, and ordered Zhu Huan to lead [-] troops to join Lu Xun, and at the same time brought the order letter written by Liu Zhang and Great seal of Yizhou Mu.

Lu Xun ordered the seal and the letter to be sent to Luo County, and the seal of Yizhou Mu was a testimony, which was enough to prove that Chengdu had indeed fallen, and Liu Zhang had surrendered.

Zhang Ren turned pale with shock, no wonder Zhang Wu was not in a hurry to attack at all, he had sent someone to sneak attack Chengdu, but Chengdu is such a big city and there are so many defenders inside, how could the surprise attack be successful?
The high ground hasn't been broken yet, so why did the crystal get lost?
Moreover, based on the [-] defenders in the city, the Jingzhou Army needs at least [-] troops to control Chengdu. How did so many troops get there?Why didn't the city receive any news?

The only possibility is that the Jingzhou army who attacked Chengdu came by water from the south, and something happened in Jiangzhou!
Now there is Zhang Wu's army in the front, and the old den in the back is lost, and they can't advance or retreat. How can we fight?
Zhang Ren sent Wu Lan and Lei Tong here, told them about the matter, and asked for their opinions.

Wu Lan and Lei Tong immediately expressed that they would go out of the city and surrender. Their wives and children are all in Chengdu. The key point is that even their boss has already surrendered. What's the point of not surrendering?
Who are you fighting for?What's more, what's the shame in surrendering to Zhang Wu, the invincible chariot general?

Seeing that Zhang Ren was still hesitant, Lei Tong said, "General Zhang, now that Chengdu has been lost and the way back has been cut off, even if we want to fight, we are afraid that the soldiers have no fighting spirit. What's more, Luo County is a land that cannot fight at all. We can’t support the army, if we don’t surrender, we will run out of food in a few days!”

At this point, even if Zhang Ren is unwilling to surrender, no one is willing to follow him. There is Zhang Wu's [-] army in front, and Lu Xun behind him is also guarding a dangerous place. Their [-] army has nowhere to go. If you fight, you will be in chaos.

And the current situation is not the same as in the original book. At that time, Zhang Ren had already shot Pang Tong to death. Even if he surrendered, it was hard to guarantee that someone would settle old scores in the future. Pang Tong was the main figure of the Jingzhou faction.At that time, Liu Bei was reluctant to kill Zhang Ren, and wanted to keep him to see if there was a chance. As a result, Zhuge Liang was eager to avenge Pang Tong, so he persuaded Liu Bei to kill Zhang Ren.

Now Zhang Ren hasn't fought a battle with Zhang Wu, nor has he made any enmity with the Jingzhou army, so he has less worries. The most important thing is that his boss has surrendered!
If you don't surrender, can you still stand on your own?If this is okay in other relatively remote places, who is willing to follow him now?Even Wu Lan and Lei Tong beside him were unwilling.

If Zhang Ren insisted on not surrendering, the result might be that Wu Lan and Lei Tong launched a mutiny and captured him and dedicated him to Zhang Wu.

Rather than being regarded as a meritorious service by them, it might as well lead the army to surrender voluntarily, which may be considered a meritorious service.

So, in desperation, Zhang Ren had no choice but to lead his army out of the city and surrender to Zhang Wu.
