Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

It was early November in the third year of Jian'an.

Yizhou.

A month and a half has passed since Cao Ang defeated Wuhuan in Liaodong, captured Gongsun Du alive, and marched on Goguryeo on horseback.

The news of the great victory had spread as early as a month ago, and it took more than half a month to spread from Liaodong to Yecheng and Xudu, as well as the four states of Hebei, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

Even Gao Shun, Tianchou Zhao Yun and other civil and military officials who accompanied General Cao Ang on the expedition have begun to escort prisoners down from Liaodongnan to the vicinity of Youzhou.

It took more than half a month for the news of the great victory that Xu Du received to reach Yizhou.

This speed of message transmission can be said to be as fast as having wings!

Because before this, Yizhou Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son separatized Shuzhong, deliberately blocking Hanzhong with Zhang Lu and cutting off contact with the imperial court.

Whatever happens in the Central Plains, it may not reach Yizhou within three to five months.

But this time, Yizhou got the news in less than twenty days, which was obviously the result of active inquiries.

Almost as soon as the news reached Xudu, Yizhou's informant in Xudu rode a horse to Yizhou.

At this moment, in the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion in Yizhou, Liu Zhang's pampered, slightly fat face looked a bit pale...

His back was already soaked with cold sweat!

"Liao... Gongsundu of Liaodong has been defeated and captured!

Even the Wuhuan Chanyu was defeated by Cao Ang and his army. The Chanyu was killed by Cao's general Zhang Liao. Two hundred thousand Wuhuan died and 160,000 were killed!

Even the kings of Goguryeo and Buyeo were captured by Cao Ang in one battle, and Cao Ang went on to invade Goguryeo without stopping.……"

When Liu Zhang said this, he took a breath and turned even paler:"In other words, now in the world, except for my Yizhou family, all the other princes have been wiped out by the Cao family, or have surrendered to the Cao family!

Only the Cao family! How long will it last if we have only Yizhou left?"

Liu Zhang's words of panic and inquiry fell in the ears of the Yizhou civil and military officials in the hall, and the only response to him was silence.

Since June of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Ang sent his troops out of Xudu to conquer Lu Bu in Xuzhou.

In less than a year and a half, all the princes from all directions have been wiped out and surrendered.

Only Yizhou, which is located in a corner of the country, is left... and the reason why Yizhou has been preserved until now is not because it can fight, nor because Cao Jun can't do anything to him.

But because it is located in a corner, Cao Jun has not yet sent troops to attack Yizhou.

Even if they didn't say it clearly, everyone present knew that the idea of ​​​​Cao and his son must be to sweep across all directions first and finally capture Yizhou...

Therefore, before this, although Zhang Song proposed to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender earlier,.

However, Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others opposed this move and could not bear to let the inheritance of Lord Liu Yan and his son be handed over to others, so they advised Liu Zhang not to surrender easily for the time being.

Let’s wait and see the movements of Liaodong Gongsundu and Jiaozhou Shixie first.

They originally thought that the land in Liaodong was remote, bitter and cold, and Gongsundu in Liaodong had good relations with Wuhuan, Goguryeo, and Fuyu.

The combined strength of these four families is not weaker than that of the four princes of the Central Plains. Even like Wuhuan, everyone has an army, and the total military strength is even greater than that of Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and other princes.

Even if Cao Ang uses his troops like a god, if he wants to capture the land of Liaodong, it will probably take a lot of time, or even years.

After all, Liaodong has a bitter cold climate, long distances, and many mountains and rivers, which is incomparable with the vast plains of the Central Plains.

However, now they have received news of the great victory in Liaodong.

After Cao Ang sent troops to Liaodong, within only two months, he defeated the Liaodong coalition forces, beheaded Tadun Shanyu, and captured alive the prince of Liaodong, Sundu, the king of Goguryeo, and the prince of Fuyu, Qiutai... which also made Yizhou a famous place. The only existence outside the rule of the Xudu court.

Suddenly it became extremely eye-catching... and the neighbors around Yizhou, Liu Qi and Liu Cong of Jingzhou all surrendered to the Cao family, and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong surrendered earlier.

Even Ma Teng and his son from Liangzhou surrendered to Liangzhou!

No matter how resourceful and talented they are, looking at the current situation in the world, they all know that the world will belong to the Cao family.

There is absolutely no hope for Yizhou...

If Liu Zhang were a British lord like Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty or Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, he might still be able to hold on to a corner of Yizhou.

But it is impossible to compete with the Cao family under this general trend.

What's more, not only did Liu Zhang not have the talents of Han Gaozu and Han Guangwu, he was even far inferior to Liu Biao, the former Jingzhou shepherd!

It is widely circulated in the world that Liu Zhang is a derogatory name for the housekeeper dog... and this derogatory name is still based on the fact that the princes are attacking each other, and Liu Zhang relies on the natural dangers in the middle of Shu to stay in a corner.

Now that all parts of the world belong to the Cao family, by the spring of next year at the latest, the Cao family can attack Yizhou from Jingzhou, Yongzhou, Hanzhong and other directions.

Under such a general trend, Yizhou will never be able to defend it!

No matter how wealthy Yizhou is, it is impossible for one state to fight against the twelve states in the world!

In the lobby, Liu Zhang suddenly became anxious when he saw that everyone was silent. Even Zhang Song, who had previously suggested surrender, was still angry and silent.

He first looked at Zhang Song and said:"Mr. Zhang, you have previously advised me to surrender to the Cao family by presenting a map.

Now is the time. I want to present the map and household registration certificate of Yizhou and surrender to the Cao family. Is that okay?" After

Zhang Song heard this, he secretly asked Liu Zhang in his heart. Rolled his eyes.

Before, he knew that Liu Zhang was not the Ming Lord and could not defend Yizhou. For the sake of his former Lord Liu Yan, he kindly persuaded Liu Zhang to surrender voluntarily. In this way, by dedicating his land, he could at least become a feudal lord and preserve his family for several generations. Wealth.

As a result, Liu Zhang was unwilling to give up his foundation under the advice of Huang Quan and Wang Lei, and rejected Zhang Song's advice.

Now that I know that Liaodong has been attacked, I want to surrender again.

But surrendering now is completely different from surrendering back then!

At that time, Liaodong still existed, and Jiaozhou Shixie's surrender envoy had not yet reached Xudu.

If Liu Zhang surrenders, he will follow in the footsteps of Jingzhou and Liangzhou, which is quite timely.

Naturally, the Cao family would also give Liu Zhang some face, grant him the title of marquis, and preserve Liu Zhang's wealth.

However, now all the princes in the world have been destroyed, leaving only Liu Zhang's family in Yizhou.

People throughout Yizhou have changed their minds and are trembling with fear. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

If the Cao family sends troops, I am afraid that the Yizhou family will surrender directly to the city and sell Liu Zhang before the war begins.

Under such circumstances, even if Liu Zhang expressed his willingness to surrender, what value would it still have?

There is a difference between surrendering when you are in a desperate situation and surrendering on your own initiative!

So Zhang Song said with anger:"My lord can also surrender at this time, but surrendering at this time is not even as good as the icing on the cake.

It is a desperate surrender, which is no different from being defeated and captured.

With Wei Gong Cao Cao's Temperament, I'm afraid the lord can save his life at most, let alone his wealth!"

Although Zhang Song is short in stature and not very powerful, he is still very knowledgeable about people.

Especially regarding Cao Cao's temperament (Zhao Hao Zhao), he is quite accurate.

When Zhang Xiu surrendered in Wancheng, Cao Cao despised Zhang Xiu and even accepted Zhang Xiu's aunt.

What's more, Liu Zhang was so poor that he had to settle down...

Cao Cao's best solution was not to kill Liu Zhang, but to depose him as a commoner...

Liu Zhang looked ashamed and full of regret.

No matter how naive he is, he still knows that what Zhang Song said is right.

"Gu...I don't seek to preserve wealth and wealth. This is the end of the matter. I just seek to preserve my life!

Thank you, Mr. Zhang Song, for sending me an envoy to Xudu. Please surrender!"[]

Liu Zhang said and bowed before Zhang Song.

When Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others saw this scene, they immediately showed unbearable expressions, but they had no choice but to do so.

Just a sigh.

At this moment, Liu Zhang and Yizhou finally made the decision to surrender.

This also means that Yizhou will also belong to the Cao family and will no longer be in the hands of Liu Zhang.

At first, Liu Yan heard people say that the Yizhou branch had an imperial air, so he occupied Yizhou Song Dynasty.

Now it seems that this royal energy has faded away.……
