Chapter 791 I Have a Home and Can’t Go Back
Hearing these words, Zhang Jia not only didn't want to kill Yan Yan, but there was admiration in his eyes. He had seen many soft shrimps surrender in battle in his life, and Yan Yan was so full of enthusiasm that he could tell at a glance that he really wanted to die and was not pretending. For such a righteous man, he would naturally not have the heart to kill him.
"I have heard for a long time that Governor Yan is very loyal and brave, but today I saw him and he is indeed extraordinary."
He opened his jaw and ordered: "Come on, take Prefect Yan down so that he can be fed, drank and served without neglect."
Yan Yan said bluntly: "General Zhang does not need such courtesy. Please just order Yan Yan to be killed."
Zhang Jia just smiled and said no, and then ordered his sergeants to come forward and take Yan Yan down.
Ma Xiu said in confusion: "General Zhang, since this Yan Yan wants to die, just give him a happy life, why do you need to keep him?"
He opened his jaw and sighed: "Captain Ma, Yan Yan is a famous general in Shu. If our army kills him, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the Shu people. Moreover, the Yizhou army will not dare to surrender in the future. If Yan Yan is left for other Wouldn’t it be better for people to set an example and prevent our troops from killing people?”
Matthew touched his head and nodded speciously. He was only suitable to be a fierce general who rushed into battle.
A smile suddenly appeared on Fazheng's face: "General Zhang, I have a clever plan to order Yan Yan to surrender."
He opened his jaw and said with great joy: "If Xiaozhi has any clever ideas, please tell me quickly."
Fazheng waved and whispered to Zhang Zha. Zhang Zha's expression became happy and he nodded.
After defeating Fuling City, the Liangzhou Army rested for a while, and then launched a fierce attack on Wagon Village. The number of defenders in Wagon Village was not large to begin with, and the Liangzhou Army who had breached Fuling City was even more motivated. After some Under the fierce attack, the Crock Village was naturally also destroyed. For a while, only an isolated city in Jiangzhou remained in Bajun.
The total number of Yizhou troops captured in Fuling City and Crock Village was more than 2,000. They were concentrated in a military camp, their weapons were confiscated, and they only had two meals of gruel a day. Outside the camp, there were dozens of With thousands of heavily armed Liangzhou troops guarding him, even if he wanted to rebel, he wouldn't be able to do so.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Gather, gather, hurry up!"
"Come here quickly, Captain Ma has orders."
The Liangzhou sergeants were beating gongs and drums, and the prisoners in the camp did not dare to neglect. They gathered towards the high platform in the military center one by one, asking questions about each other with doubts on their faces.
"What's the matter? Are you summoning me for something?"
"I don't know. Are you going to let us go?"
"It's hard to say. If you let us go, don't even think about it. If you don't kill us, that's fine."
In a tense and anxious environment, Matthew looked at the prisoners in front of him and said loudly: "Listen carefully, General Yan has surrendered."
"General Yan surrendered?"
When more than two thousand prisoners heard these words, they were all shocked. Yan Yan's loyalty was known to everyone. Now General Yan has surrendered?
Ma Xiu continued: "I am going to select a hundred people from among you to report to Jiangzhou City and tell Lei Tong that Yan Yan has surrendered. If he knows the current situation, he will also surrender and give Jiangzhou City. "
After that, Ma Xiu selected a hundred prisoners from the crowd. After being released, the one hundred prisoners felt lucky and hurried to Jiangzhou City.
"General Yan surrendered?"
Lei Tong looked in disbelief and grabbed a soldier: "Is this true?"
"A hundred brothers who were captured came back. They said it with their own mouths. If the general doesn't believe it, you can ask them himself." The soldier replied.
Lei Tong nodded slowly, but his expression became ugly. Yan Yan is a well-deserved veteran in the army. Since Liu Yan was appointed as the shepherd of Yizhou, Yan Yan has guarded Jiangzhou and served as the prefect of Ba County. Yan Yan's surrender made Lei Tong feel at a loss. Did he also feel at a loss? What about surrender?
Lei Tong was restless all day. At night, someone suddenly came to report: "Captain, General Yan has arrived outside the city."
"I'm going to see it for myself."
Lei Tong didn't have time to think too much. He rushed out with his soldiers and horses fully clothed. He stood on the top of the city and looked around. He saw a group of soldiers and horses standing outside the city. They were all in black clothes and black armor. They were the Liangzhou army. There is a veteran surrounded in front of him, isn't it Yan Yan?
"Lei Tong, I'm Yan Yan! I was put back by General Zhang. Please open the door quickly." Yan Yan shouted.
Lei Tong was extremely distressed and said loudly: "General Yan, have you surrendered to the Liangzhou Army?"
"Why did you say that?" Yan Yan was shocked: "I never surrendered."
"But they all said you surrendered! And if you didn't surrender, why did you bring the Liangzhou Army here? Are you trying to open the gates of Jiangzhou City and make contributions to the Liangzhou Army?" Lei Tong said angrily.
"this"
Yan Yan was hard-pressed to argue. The hundreds of Liangzhou troops behind him opened their jaws and ordered to escort him. Unexpectedly, they were misunderstood by Lei Tong.
Yan Yan wanted to speak again, but Lei Tong was so angry that he shouted angrily: "Come here, shoot the arrow!"
A row of archers from the Yizhou Army appeared on the top of the city. They opened their bows and set arrows. They aimed at the top of the city and fired a row of arrows.
"General Yan, leave quickly!"
The Liangzhou cavalry beside Yan Yan had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed Yan Yan, turned around and walked away. However, more than ten cavalry were hit by the bows and arrows of the Yizhou army and fell off their horses. The rest had to escape. .
Lei Tong stared coldly at Yan Yan who "fleeed" and ordered: "Yan Yan has surrendered the thieves, our army must hold on to Jiangzhou City!"
"Here!"
But after Yan Yan was coerced by many Xiliang cavalry and returned to the camp, he was unhappy.
"Haha, are you free, General Yan? I'm here to pay you a visit."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yan replied coldly: "General Zhang, please come in. Yan Yan is just a subordinate prisoner now and has nothing to do."
He walked in with an open jaw and a smile, but the few guards he brought with him were guarding the door and did not follow him in.
Yan Yan didn't waste any time and said coldly: "All this happened today was a trick set by General Zhang, right? It was such a good plan that Yan Yan couldn't return home."
He opened his jaw and smiled slightly: "The general is always hungry for talents. If General Yan can surrender, the general will be ecstatic."
Yan Yan snorted coldly: "I have already said that there is only General Beheaded!"
He opened his jaw and sighed: "I admire General Yan's heroic integrity. But now that the news of General Yan's surrender has spread, it won't be long before the entire Yizhou knows about General Yan's surrender. Is it possible that General Yan doesn't want to think about it? Your own family?"
Yan Yan's expression changed, but he still didn't speak.
"Then I won't disturb the old general. The old general will think about it himself."
After Zhang Jia said that, he stood up and walked out.
