The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

The timid ones have already knelt down directly.

If there is one, there are two. After all, no one is really not afraid of death. No one wants to die if they can live.

In addition, they were frightened by Liu Zheng and the yellow scarf thieves who charged directly without saying a word. If these officers and soldiers can surrender at this time, they wish they could live.

So just after Liu Zheng finished speaking, a large group of officers and soldiers who were cheering knelt down at this moment, throwing away the weapons in their hands.

There were still a few people who had integrity and were unwilling to surrender. After most of the troops surrendered, they sighed and finally chose to surrender.

Only Huang Zhong, who was still fighting with Xu Huang, seemed to have no intention of surrendering at all.

Chapter 44 Captured Alive

Seeing that almost all the officers and soldiers had surrendered, Liu Zheng nodded.

Everything is happening according to his expectation. Although Huang Zhong has not surrendered yet, in Liu Zheng's heart, Huang Zhong will surrender to him sooner or later.

When all the dust settled, although Huang Zhong was still fighting Xu Huang, and it became more and more obvious that Huang Zhong had the upper hand, Liu Zheng still gradually let his troops surround Huang Zhong and Xu Huang. battlefield.

Liu Zheng took the initiative to take two steps forward.

"Huang Zhong, surrender, it's futile to continue struggling, you can't see it, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how strong your personal force is, can't you stop thousands of people?"

"Surrender, I am a person who treats prisoners well."

At this time, the officers and soldiers around had already knelt down and surrendered, and Cai Mao was also captured by Liu Zheng. Huang Zhong's face was tense, and he wanted to break out from here, but he saw the nearby people, and the encirclement formed by thousands of people was fine. , There are tens of thousands of arrows waiting in battle.

Even though Huang Zhong is powerful, but he doesn't have the ability to reach the sky, he definitely can't escape from here.

In the end, Huang Zhong could only sigh, and put away the long knife in the confrontation with Xu Huang.

It's not that Huang Zhong is greedy for life and afraid of death, but that now, relying on his own strength, it is impossible for him to escape from the hands of these Yellow Turbans. It is better to surrender than to fight to the death.

Seeing that Huang Zhong put away his long knife and gave up resistance with a serious face, Liu Zheng waved his hand to signal the people around him to take away Huang Zhong's weapon, but he didn't tie Huang Zhong with a rope.

"Brother Huang Zhong. Did you shoot the arrow shot by Zhang Mancheng, the envoy of my family?"

Liu Zheng walked up to Huang Zhong, smiled and glanced at Huang Zhong.

It was a great joy for Liu Zheng to be able to capture Huang Zhong alive, but if he was caught, he would not have the ability to make Huang Zhong join him. After all, his current identity is a traitor, and Huang Zhong is an official. It is impossible for the army to succumb to him.

So on the surface, Liu Zheng seemed to be looking for a topic to chat with Huang Zhong, but in fact he had been thinking in his heart, how could he think of a way to recruit Huang Zhong to his subordinates.

Although the possibility of recruiting Huang Zhong is very small, he still wants to give it a try. After all, if he directly kills the five generals like Huang Zhong, he is really reluctant.

"It's down."

Huang Zhong didn't hide anything, he admitted it as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Okay, I admire it. It is conceivable that you can shoot my god with one arrow at such a long distance. Brother Huang Zhong's archery skills are extraordinary, no, not only extraordinary, it should be said to be extremely superb. I have great respect for Huang Zhong." Big brother admires his archery skills very much, I don’t know if big brother Huang Zhong has the idea of ​​relying on you?"

Liu Zhengna's intention of soliciting was expressed to Huang Zhong.But Huang Zhong naturally didn't appreciate it at all.

"Don't think about it, I won't take refuge in you. Let's not talk about the identity between you and me. I am an officer and you are a rebel. They are incompatible. Just because you did this rebellion, this kind of violation of the world Moral matters, it is difficult for me to go along with you."

After listening to Huang Zhong's words, Liu Zheng shook his head. Although he had already thought of this result, when Huang Zhong rejected him, he still felt a little sad.

"Forget it, since Brother Huang Zhong doesn't appreciate it, I can only wrong you first, Zhou Cang, detain him for the time being."

"Yes, he is handsome."

Zhou Cang took Huang Zhong down abruptly, and then Sun Zhong approached Liu Zheng with dozens of soldiers around him.

"Shuai Liu Zhengqu, this time you have made a great contribution. You actually killed [-] soldiers and horses of the official army with ease. This is nearly half of Qin Jie's men!"

Sun Zhong approached Liu Zheng with a smile. At this moment, he was finally convinced by Liu Zheng, with a hint of admiration on his face.

From the very beginning, when Zhao Hong ordered him to lead 3 people to assist Liu Zheng against Qin Jie's troops, he was still a little unconvinced. After all, in terms of seniority, his status in the Yellow Turban Army was much higher than Liu Zheng's.

In any case, it was Liu Zheng who assisted him, but Zhao Hong ordered him to assist Liu Zheng, with Liu Zheng as the coach, and obeying Liu Zheng's dispatch. Although he was upset in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface.

But now after this battle, his unconvinced thoughts about Liu Zheng at the beginning were completely wiped out in his heart.

Asking himself, it is absolutely impossible for him to kill five thousand officers and soldiers at such a small price.

Even if he could rely on his 3 men to behead [-] officers and soldiers, it would be absolutely impossible to do so easily. He must have lost his troops and lost his generals, and won a tragic victory, fighting extremely hard.

"Brother Sun Zhong, then you are wrong. Our commander-in-chief didn't just kill 5000 people from the official army."

"If you really want to count it, at least 7000 of Qin Jie's men have been consumed!"

Pei Yuanshao stood beside Liu Zheng, and immediately corrected a sentence after hearing Sun Zhong's words.

"7000 troops? My dear, this is most of Qin Jie's soldiers and horses. In this way, doesn't it mean that he only has 3000 soldiers left?"

When Sun Zhong heard Pei Yuanshao's words, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

"If your information is correct, then there are only 3000 troops left under Qin Jie's command who may be able to dispatch them at this time!"

"3000 people! Then we have more than 3 people here, ten times the enemy's army, can we go directly to attack Caiyang City and capture Qin Jie alive?"

When Sun Zhong heard that there were only 3000 Qin Jie left at this time, he immediately ignited his fighting spirit and planned to go to Caiyang City to capture Qin Jie alive with the 3 people under him now.

But Liu Zheng shook his head after listening to Sun Zhong's words.

"Don't be reckless. If we take people directly to Caiyang City now, although Qin Jie only has 3000 troops left, he can still fight us in a bloody battle with the convenience of Caiyang City's walls."

"At that time, the strength that these 3000 people can display is far from what we can easily enter Caiyang City. Even if we can capture Caiyang City and capture Qin Jie, we will definitely lose more than 5000 people."

"I have a plan. I can easily take Caiyang City and capture Qin Jie alive!"

Liu Zheng's words made Sun Zhong's eyes light up and he asked immediately.

"What can Liu Zhengqu be handsome? Tell me quickly!"

Liu Zheng smiled slightly, and then his eyes fell on Cai Mao.

"It depends on him!"

"By him?"

Sun Zhong followed Liu Zheng's eyes to look at Cai Mao, his eyes stayed on Cai Mao, and he looked back and forth at Cai Mao, but he still didn't understand what Liu Zheng meant.

Liu Zheng didn't explain anything to Sun Zhong, just smiled and asked someone to bring Cai Mao over. He wanted to communicate with Cai Mao in person to prepare for the next plan.

Chapter 45 Opening the City Gate by Fraud

"General Cai Mao can only wrong you to accompany us!"

Cai Mao was brought to Liu Zheng's side by his subordinates. In fact, Liu Zheng didn't have anything to say to Cai Mao. Anyway, the next plan only needed to use Cai Mao's appearance. As for whether Cai Mao cooperated or not, it didn't matter. If he If you don't cooperate, then you will have another fierce battle.

At that time, directly kill Cai Mao, let him have a long memory.

The reason why Liu Zheng wanted to capture Cai Mao alive was also for the purpose of dealing with Qin Jie in the future.

He brought Cai Mao over, briefly described his plan to Cai Mao, and asked Cai Mao to cooperate with him. If he did not cooperate, he would kill Cai Mao.

Cai Mao was trembling with anger, but there was nothing he could do. Considering his own life, he snorted coldly and didn't speak again.

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he quickly led people and continued to approach Cai Yangcheng. At the same time, he stripped off the clothes of the corpses of the officers and soldiers who died in the previous battle with the officers and soldiers.

Let the Yellow Turban Army under his command change into the clothes of these officers and soldiers.Then the commander Cai Mao disguised himself and rushed to Caiyang City to return to his command.

If you want to deal with Qin Jie, you must attack by force, you can only outsmart him.

Although Liu Zheng is sure to win the attack on Caiyang City, Qin Jie still has thousands of troops in Caiyang City. If he relies on the city wall to fight Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng will definitely lose thousands of soldiers under his command if he wants to take down Caiyang City. soldiers and horses.

Even if Qin Jie can be captured alive at that time, the lost soldiers and horses cannot be recovered.If Qin Jie can be captured with little effort and at a very small cost, it will naturally be a great merit.

So Liu Zhenghui wanted to use Cai Mao's identity to deceive the soldiers defending the city and open the city gate, so he entered the city and took control of the entire Caiyang City in a short time. At that time, Sun Zhong's [-] soldiers and horses could surround the entire Caiyang City.

In this way, Qin Jie could not escape even if he took wings, so he could only obediently catch him with nothing.

Liu Zheng took Cai Mao back to Caiyang City very quickly, and used the army troops that had surrendered before to mix in some Yellow Turban troops, wearing the clothes of the army.

With such a high distance from the city wall, even if the officers and soldiers on the city tower can observe, they may not be able to see clearly in a short time whether these people are yellow scarf thieves.

In addition, there is Cai Hao, no matter whether Cai Hao will actively cooperate or not, but Cai Hao is considering his own life, Liu Zheng only needs to make him stop talking, and just stand by and let others recognize his face.

Anyway, Liu Zheng had already taken the weapon away from him, and then asked Zhou Cang to stay by his side to threaten him with a knife at any time, and kill him on the spot if he disobeyed, and see how he resisted.

In this way, the [-] Yellow Turban Army appeared outside Caiyang City pretending to be an official army, and easily deceived the guards, allowing the [-] Yellow Turban Army to enter the city.

Quickly control each checkpoint and let the [-] Yellow Turbans outside the city enter the city.

Qin Jie was still waiting leisurely for Cai Mao and Huang Zhong to send him good news.

But he never expected that tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans were waiting to change the banner of Caiyang City.

Liu Zheng easily tricked the gate open and poured soldiers into the city.When he brought people to the county government office in Caiyang City.

At this time, Qin Jie didn't even know that this Caiyang City had changed its owner.

"Come on!"

Qin Jie yelled leisurely, the guards beside him.

But no one answered him.

Qin Jie yelled again, but still no one responded to him, so he couldn't sit still, pushed open the door and walked out of the room.

But it was unexpectedly discovered that Liu Zheng brought Zhou Cang and Xu Huang walked in from the outside.

The plot immediately became vigilant and questioned Liu Zheng loudly.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Is this the new Nanyang County prefect Qin Jie?"

"Sure enough, a good-looking person knows how to read and reason."

Liu Zheng took a look at Qin Jie. At the beginning, in his impression, Qin Jie should be a powerful general who can fight well.

But when he looked closely, he found that this guy was wearing a Confucian robe, which was a little less heroic, but a little more scholarly.

Qin Jie was very smart. After he realized something was wrong for the first time, he immediately realized from the outfits of Liu Zheng and others that these people in front of him should be the remnants of the Yellow Turban Bandit.

"You are yellow scarves!"

Qin Jie said something in surprise, with disbelief on his face.

"As expected of the prefect, you are smart, and you can see through our identities at a glance."

"Come on! There are thieves! Come on!"

Just as Liu Zheng had admitted his identity, Qin Jie immediately yelled outside the courtyard, wanting to have Liu Zheng and others arrested.

"Don't shout, Mr. Qin Jie, the people outside are gone."

"I just praised you for being smart, why did you suddenly become stupid, if there were people outside, how could we appear here?"

Liu Zheng simply explained to Qin Jie.

Qin Jie was not stupid, after Liu Zheng reminded him, his face immediately changed drastically, but he still had a little fantasy, and immediately refuted Liu Zheng's sentence.

"Impossible, I still have three thousand soldiers here, how could you take down my Caiyang City quietly!"

"Hahaha, what's so difficult about this? I'll just use tricks to open the city gate, sneak in, and quietly capture Caiyang City. There's no need to use a single soldier."

"Using tricks to open the city gate?"

When Qin Jie heard Liu Zheng's words, the expression on his face changed, and then he suddenly remembered something, and he was even more surprised.

"Impossible, how could you cheat to open the city gate, unless it's Cai Mao and Huang Zhong!"

Qin Jie could think of what strategy Liu Zheng was using, but he didn't want to believe that it was Huang Zhong and Cai Mao.

After all, Huang Zhong and Cai Mao transferred 70.00% of his soldiers and horses. If he lost to the Yellow Turban Army, it would be a huge blow, and he didn't want to believe it.

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Zheng's mouth.

"Then take a guess, is it Huang Zhong or Cai Mao?"

"It can't be Huang Zhong. His son is still in my hands. Only I can save his son. It must be Cai Mao, that bastard Cai Mao, isn't he!"

Liu Zheng smiled at Qin Jie and asked Qin Jie to tell who betrayed him. He immediately thought about it, and then said that it was Cai Mao who betrayed him.

Cai Mao is the eldest son of the Cai family, a big family in Jingzhou. He has always coveted his position as Jiangxia prefect.

It was inevitable for Qin Jie to think that Cai Mao had betrayed him.

But after listening to Qin Jie's words, Liu Zheng not only did not mock Qin Jie, but instead heard some interesting things in Qin Jie's words.

"Huang Zhong's son is in your hands, can you still save him?"
