Only Sun Jian saw this, smiled with satisfaction and said:

"Since General Huang just arrived today, why not go down and meditate for a few days first!"

"If the general is willing to surrender, then he will surrender. I am very happy that the general is brave, and I would like to worship the general as General Yamen!"

"If the general doesn't want to surrender, then I will let the general go. There is only one point. After the general returns, please stop helping the tyrant and helping Liu Biao prevent our army from going north!"

"General Sun wants to let me go?"

When Huang Zhong heard this, he suddenly raised his head, and his face couldn't help being moved again.

Thinking that he, Huang Zhong, lived to be over forty years old, although he also joined the ranks of generals, he has never been treated with such courtesy as today!

Although General Yamen is a miscellaneous general, he is still a general after all!

And if he didn't surrender, Sun Jian wasn't going to kill him?

But seeing Huang Zhong like this, Sun Jian immediately nodded and said:

"Exactly, if the general really doesn't want to surrender, he can leave now!"

"Come here, take General Huang down to rest. If the general wants to leave, no one can stop him!"

As he said so, he saw the sergeant who had just exited the door hastily entered, and whispered to Huang Zhong:

"General, please follow me!"

Seeing this, Huang Zhong followed the crowd for a few steps in a daze. Suddenly he was taken aback, turned back hastily, and knelt down in front of Sun Jian with a plop, weeping:

"Loyalty is nothing more than a general of a defeated army, and there is a suspicion of ignorance of kindness. The general treats me like this, how can loyalty be unmoved!"

Having said that, he bowed to Sun Jian and said:

"Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng, meet the lord!"

"it is good!"

Seeing this, Sun Jian showed a trace of indescribable joy in his tiger eyes, and hurriedly helped Huang Zhong up and said:

"I'm not happy about winning today, but I'm very happy about winning the general!"

"With the help of the general, our army can win a hundred thousand soldiers!"

When Huang Zhong heard this, he was ashamed for a while and said:

"My lord is like this, the general will feel even more ashamed!"

For a moment, he thought of all the things in the past, and immediately regretted secretly, but amidst the remorse, he cupped his hands again and said:

"My lord, although Liu Biao doesn't show any kindness to me, General Liu Pan and I have worked together for a long time after all. We are inferior in skills and have nothing to say."

"But I want to bring back General Liu Pan's body so that he can bury him alive. In this way, I hope the lord will agree to it on 4.5!"

"Ugh!"

Sun Jian heard this and sighed:

"Liu Pan is a good general, but it's a pity that he is an enemy in the end, and now he is dying, which is not my wish!"

"Don't worry about Han Sheng, I will arrange this personally!"

Now that Huang Zhong has surrendered, he will naturally not give up this opportunity to buy people's hearts.

When Huang Zhong saw what Sun Jian said, he sighed in his heart for a moment, he met the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, but Liu Pan's life was not good!

After thinking for a while, he immediately thanked him again.

That night, Sun Jian held a celebration banquet in Jiangling City. One was to celebrate the great victory, and the other was to celebrate Huang Zhong's return.

Until the next morning, more than [-] soldiers and horses were left behind, and Dong Xi and Qin Song guarded the city, while he led the army to the north.

At the same time, on the north bank of Mianshui.

A Cao army, led by Yu Jin and Li Dian, followed Xi Zhong to the bank of the river.

Looking at the river bank ahead, Yu Jin was rather worried and said:

"Mr. really only brought more than ten thousand soldiers to the south this time?"

"I'm afraid that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will not be of much use!"

Listening to Yu Jin's words, Xi Zhong shook his head and said:

"In just 20 days, Liu Biao asked for help twice, which shows that the enemy's offensive is extraordinary!"

"That Bai Liming is the best at scheming. Now I heard that Liu Biao's army and navy have been broken. I'm afraid this person will pass Liu Biao and go straight to Nanyang!"

"Therefore, before seeing Liu Biao to find out the situation, our army must reserve a backup!"

"If Liu Biao can help, he will!"

"If Liu Biao can't help, our army will have to retreat to the north bank!"

"This time, General Li Dian will follow me to the south, and General Yu Jin, you will support me on the north bank!"

Seeing that Xi Zhong spoke so firmly, the two of them naturally couldn't persuade them anymore, so they had to accept orders.

After Xi Zhong finished speaking, he looked at Nan'an worriedly.

I hope the situation on the South Bank is not as bad as he imagined! .

Chapter 172 Xi Zhicai: The situation in Jingzhou is corrupt, far beyond my imagination!

"During the administration of Xia Yanzhou, I was loyal and talented, and I met Liu Shijun!"

After crossing the river bank, Xi Zhong greeted Liu Biao personally.

At this time, the people of Xiangyang were standing on the bank of the river, and Liu Biao came with his men and soldiers.

But when Xi Zhong saw this, he didn't dare to take it too seriously, and hurriedly saluted.

Seeing this, Li Dian hurriedly cupped his hands and said:

"The last general, Li Dian and Li Mancheng, met Liu Shijun!"

Seeing that Cao Jun's reinforcements that he had been thinking about had finally arrived, Liu Biao hurriedly stepped forward to help him:

"Mr. Xi, General Li doesn't need to be polite!"

"Then Sun Jian violently attacked me in Jingzhou, thanks to my alliance with Meng De, there are still reinforcements available!"

While talking, he squinted at the soldiers and horses behind Xi Zhong, and couldn't help laughing:

"I don't know how many reinforcements you two have brought to the south this time?"

As soon as Xi Zhong heard this, he knew that Liu Biao was not satisfied with the number of troops he led, so he smiled and said:

"Reporting to Ambassador Liu, this time I brought thirty thousand reinforcements to the south!"

"It's just that because of the haste, the luggage can't keep up, and I'm afraid that the envoy is in a hurry to use troops, so I brought [-] soldiers and horses to the south ahead of time!"

"Although there are few soldiers, they are the elite of our army. If you need them urgently, they will be worthy of use!"

"Whoa!"

Liu Biao was overjoyed when he heard that [-] troops had arrived, but he pretended to be displeased and said:

"Mr. Xi, what are you talking about? Since Mr. Xi is leading the army to help me in Jingzhou, what luggage do you need to bring?"

"Anything we need for food and grass will be provided by our army this time!"

"If there are soldiers and horses in the north, let's go south quickly. In my city of Xiangyang, there is still enough food and grass!"

"So, thank you for your kindness!"

Xi Zhong smiled lightly and said:

"As long as you have the words of the envoy, Zhong will feel at ease!"

"It's just that since Zhong came early, I don't know what the situation in Jingzhou is like now, and I don't know what the envoy's plans are!"

"You might as well tell Zhong about these first, and Zhong can use this to help Shijun!"

"That's a great word!"

Hearing this, Liu Biao quickly waved to Xi Zhong and said:

"Mr. Xi, please follow me into the city!"

"Dare to obey!"

Xi Zhong cupped his hands again, and followed Liu Biao into the city with his soldiers and horses.

Not long after 20, everyone arrived in the governor's mansion.

Because Xi Zhong and Li Dian were guests, they arranged to be one or two to the left of Liu Biao.

After everyone sat down, Xi Zhong said:

"Emissary, as allies of our two armies, there is no need to be too polite. Since the envoy asked for help, the frontline battle must be quite tense!"

"Therefore, please tell me the truth, so that we can know the current situation in Jingzhou!"

"Alright!"

Seeing that Xi Zhong didn't talk nonsense, Liu Biao was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Kuai Yue:

"That's the case, then please come and speak for Mr. Xi!"

After hearing this, Kuai Yue bowed his hands to Xi Zhong and said:

"Then I will tell Mr. Xi about the current situation of our army!"

"The reason why our army chose to ask for help is because some time ago, our army received news that Sun Jian's army was in an abnormal state and seemed to want to invade our army on a large scale!"

"So, our army sent a letter to your army, hoping that your army will be prepared!"

Xi Zhong nodded and said:

"Our army has received this letter. After receiving the letter, our army has already begun preparations!"

"This is how we can go south so quickly!"

"Well, this is the beginning of things!"

Kuai Yue nodded, then murmured:

"It is also because of this beginning that our military has entered a state of combat readiness!"

"At that time, our army thought that since Sun Jian's army wanted to make a surprise attack, then our army would adopt a strategy of standing firm!"

"So, under my advice, the lord sent [-] troops to reinforce Jiangxia!"

"At the same time, the lord also gave an order to prevent the enemy's navy from raiding!"

"Because of this order, Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, in our army, in order to prevent the water army from being defeated by the enemy one by one, gathered the water army in one place to guard against the enemy!"

"Master Kuai wait a minute!"

Hearing this, Xi Zhong couldn't help being surprised and said:

"You mean, your army gathered the navy under precaution!"

"But even under such precautions, Sun Jian's army still succeeded in a surprise attack, and succeeded in one blow?"

"Exactly!"

Kuai Yue said with a serious face:

"When our army received the news before, they still didn't believe it!"

"But the truth is!"

"The enemy army seems to have been prepared for our army's persistence, and prepared a large number of scarecrows in advance. When the weather turned cold and the fog rose on the river, they launched a surprise attack on our army's navy!"

"They first used scarecrows to pretend to be sailors, constantly luring our troops to shoot out!"

"Because of the foggy weather, our army did not dare to send troops at will, so we had to greet them with bows and arrows."

"As a result, when our army was exhausted, a large number of enemy troops suddenly approached. Taking advantage of our army's inability to resist, they ignited a big fire and set our army's water camp on fire!"

"After igniting the water fortress, the exit was blocked with ships, causing all our ships to burn down!"

Having said that, he looked at Xi Zhong and said:

"The enemy army used this method to completely wipe out our army and water army just overnight!"
