Chapter 470 Chen Feng and Jiang Zi Surrender
Chapter 469: Chen Feng and Jiang Zi Surrender

In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, on the eighth day of the eighth month, Zhao Jun broke through Pengcheng, and King Xiang Kuang of Chu, along with his prince, prime minister and concubines in the palace, set themselves on fire in Bawang Hall, and the centuries-old Chu Palace was burned.

In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, on the tenth day of the eighth month, Chen Feng and Jiang Zi sat in the camp of the Chu Army in Lü County, looking at each other. The news that King Xiang Kuang of Chu, Prime Minister Fan Ting and his prince and harem concubines set themselves on fire in Bawang Palace.

"General, what should we do now? Pengcheng is gone, the king and Fan Xiang are gone..." Jiang Zi said to Chen Feng with a sad face. He and Chen Feng were receiving Xiang Kuang's letter asking for help After that, he rushed to Pengcheng, and was blocked by Zhao Jun under Dong Zhong's command along the way, and he couldn't get rid of it for a long time. Moreover, out of the 3 elites who went out for the expedition, there are only less than [-] left.

"General Jiang, do you think we should fight or surrender?" Chen Feng said, yes, once Pengcheng is broken, there are only two paths before Chen Feng and Jiang Zi, that is either to fight to the end or to fight to the end. Either that or surrender.

Jiang Zi thought for a while and said: "Now the king is gone, even the crown prince is gone, and the whole Great Chu has fallen into collapse. If we want to fight, we must appoint a new king to preside over the overall situation, but the heirs of the king , most of them set themselves on fire with the king in Bawang Palace, and the only ones left are the second prince of Xiapi and the third prince of Guangling, but the second prince is controlled by Yu Zilong. Let it go to Yu Zilong, but the third prince is far away in Guangling, and it is unrealistic for 3 of us to go to Guangling under Zhao Jun's nose, so..."

After listening to Jiang Zi's words, Chen Feng already understood. Although Jiang Zi hadn't finished his last sentence, Chen Feng knew that Jiang Zi was inclined to surrender, but it was not so easy to surrender. Zhao Jun He might not accept it, so he said hesitantly: "Zhao Jun may not accept our surrender. After all, what happened back then had a great impact on our reputation, especially now that the eldest prince is still alive."

After Jiang Zi heard this, his expression was also sad. Yes, the reputation of the Chu people is not so good now. Back then, they surrendered and rebelled, which indirectly led to the collapse of the Qi and Wei countries in the Central Plains war situation, and eventually the country fell. Isn’t Zhao Guo worried? When Zhao Guo and Deng Qin face each other, will the Chu people repeat their old tricks?
After a long time, Jiang Zi said: "Actually, there is no other way. What happened back then was all led by Zhang Di. Now that Zhang Di is dead, there is no one in the whole Great Chu who can compete with Zhang Di in terms of prestige. Otherwise, Da Chu would not be reduced to such a field. As long as we tell the Zhao people that after surrendering, we can give up our military power, disarm and return to the fields, and never care about world affairs. I think the Zhao people will agree. After all, if we Fighting to the death with the people of Zhao, even though we cannot escape the end of defeat in the end, the people of Zhao will not have a good time either."

"But this, are you willing?" It may be feasible to do so, but as a general who has been all-powerful all his life, he can't believe that Jiang Zi doesn't feel unwilling at all.

Jiang Zi shook his head with a smile, and said, "Of course I'm not reconciled, but so what, I have to do this if I want to survive. It's not that Jiang Zi is afraid of death, but that our Jiang family can't afford to pay now." , my Jiang family only has a single seedling Jiang Tai left, I have to keep his no matter what, this is the only way out."

Death on the battlefield, horse leather shroud is the highest honor for a soldier. This result, Jiang Zi has thought about it since the first day of the army, but it can't work now. In the Pengcheng change, his whole family died in the chaos. Jiang Tai has become an heir. If Jiang Tai dies, then his Jiang family will have no sons and grandchildren. Jiang Zi cannot accept this result anyway. Now let go of the honor and disgrace of his life, keep Jiang Tai, keep the incense of the Jiang family, This is what Jiang Zi needs to do most.

Chen Feng nodded. He understood Jiang Zi's thoughts, because at this moment, he also had to think about his family. Pengcheng was destroyed, and his whole family fell into the hands of Zhao Jun. If he resisted desperately, Zhao Jun would not be sure. Taking his family to vent his anger, he thought for a while and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll send someone to see Dong Zhong and explain our conditions clearly. We don't ask for anything, we just want to ensure the safety of our family." !"

Jiang Zi nodded and agreed with Chen Feng's approach. Now the Zhao Jun general who is closest to them is Dong Zhong. What they have to do now is to stabilize Dong Zhong so that Dong Zhong will not attack them.

Soon, the people sent by Chen Feng saw Dong Zhong and told Dong Zhong the conditions of Chen Feng and Jiang Zi. to decide.

Pengcheng, the General's Mansion, was originally Zhang Di's mansion. After the Pengcheng Incident, the Zhang family escaped from Pengcheng, so this place became vacant. However, this mansion is the largest mansion in Pengcheng except for the royal palace. , so after Li Rubing entered Pengcheng, he occupied this place as his temporary residence.

"Everyone, what do you think about Chen Feng and Jiang Zi's request?" In the main hall, Li Rubing said to his subordinates holding the document sent by Dong Zhong.

"General, the people of Chu can't be trusted. Back then, Han Qing, the general of Qi State, took down the entire Chu State without bloodshed, and took everything in Chu State, but so what? The Battle of the Central Plains, the most important issue in Qi State At this critical moment, the Chu people resolutely rebelled, which eventually led to the collapse of the entire Central Plains war situation, and the collapse of Qi and Wei, so the final general thought that he could not accept Chen Feng and Jiang Zi's letter of surrender!" said one of the generals under his command, he was still worried about the Chu people back then. Don't advocate surrendering what you have done.

His proposition was supported by some generals. After all, the fall and rebellion had a great impact on the world. Although the people of Chu did things back then, the biggest beneficiary was the State of Zhao, but it does not mean that the people of the State of Zhao would Approved the practice of Chu people.

"General, the last general thinks it is feasible!" At this time, Kou Fei, a general of the Zhao army, put forward different opinions. He thought that Chen Feng and Jiang Zi's letter of submission could be accepted, but he said: "Everyone knows that the previous year The instigator of this incident was Zhang Di, and the reason why Zhang Di was able to appeal to the people of Chu was because of his prestige, but now that Zhang Di is dead, there is no one in the entire Chu country who has a prestige comparable to Zhang Di, let alone Chen Both Feng and Jiang Zi have said that they can give up their military power, and they can even disarm and return to the fields. This shows that the two of them have great sincerity. Besides, we are not idiots like Han Qing and Qi people, who want to keep all of the Chu army. The establishment has given the Chu people a chance to rise up, we can split the Chu army apart, or even disband it on the spot, so that even if Chen Feng and Jiang Zi have conflicts in the future, there will be no soldiers to use!"

"General, what General Kou said is true. In order to minimize the loss, we have postponed the dispatch of troops. If we continue to fight with the Chu army, I am afraid it will be protracted. It is already August, and it is not far from winter. How many days have passed, and if we don't accept Chen Feng and Jiang Zi's letter of surrender, we will have to continue fighting with them. Besides, there is also Yu Zilong in Xiapi. If we can't solve the problem in Chudi before winter For the war, wait until the spring of next year, I'm afraid Deng Jun will come!" Le Ting, another general of the Chu army, also supported Kou Fei's view.

Time is what Zhao Jun lacks most. It was originally planned to launch an attack in the beginning of spring, but there were signs of civil strife in Chu State, so Li Rubing insisted on delaying the march until July. Fortunately, Zhao Jun made great progress. It went well, and it only took 20 days to break through Pengcheng, but everyone knows that the hardest bones of Chu State are Chen Feng, Jiang Zi, and Yu Zilong. The day is not safe, and Yu Zilong is different from Chen Feng and Jiang Zi. Zhao Jun will definitely not leave Yu Zilong behind, so he can only attack Xiapi City by force, but Xiapi City is high and deep, and he wants to attack by force. It's not easy to succeed, especially when Yu Zilong has 3 people under his command, so in summary, accepting the surrender of Chen Feng and Jiang Zi is undoubtedly the best choice.

After Li Rubing listened to everyone's opinions, he pondered for a long time and said, "Time, what I need most now is time, anyway, with Ben here, I'm sorry Chen Feng and Jiang Zi can't play tricks." , Send someone to tell Dong Zhong to accept Chen Feng and Jiang Zi's letter of surrender, and after accepting the surrender, put the Chu army under surveillance, and send someone to send Chen Feng, Jiang Zi and other generals of the Chu army to Pengcheng!"

After much deliberation, Li Rubing finally accepted Chen Feng and Jiang Zi's letter of surrender. The soldiers were separated.

In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, on August [-]th, General Dong Zhong of the Zhao Army accepted the letter of surrender from Chen Feng and Jiang Zi, the remnants of the Chu Army, in Luxian County. He accepted the surrender of [-] Chu troops. After meeting Jiang Zi, they sent someone to escort Chen Feng and Jiang Zi to lead a group of Chu army generals to Pengcheng.
