Chapter 940 Shi Xie Surrenders

Hearing Sun Quan's cry, the Jiangdong Army generals immediately realized what had happened, rushed into the house, and burst into tears.

Zhu Huan also lowered his head, with a look of sadness in his eyes, but he could not enter the room, so he had to mourn silently here.

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect Zhou Gongjin to be so popular among the Jiangdong Army." Gan Ning sighed with emotion.

"Zhou Gongjin is truly an outstanding figure of his generation. With only one county in Yuzhang, he unexpectedly attacked Jingnan and captured half of Jingzhou. If our Xiliang army had not formed a general trend, the outcome would have been unpredictable." Gao Gao Chong shook his head and said.

At that time, King Wen of Zhou received the support of two-thirds of the princes in the world, and did not launch a decisive battle against the Shang Dynasty. He waited until his son Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou, and Muye destroyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties in a battle. King Zhou climbed to Lutai and immolated himself. This was the general trend. . Even a peerless person like Zhou Yu could not reverse the general trend, he could only contend with it.

After a while, Sun Quan came out with red eyes, cupped his hands to Gao Chong and said: "Governor Gao, please report to the general on my behalf. Sun Quan is willing to write a letter and send an envoy to Jiaozhou to persuade Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhi, to surrender."

"Oh? This is a big matter. I have to ask the general for instructions first." Gao Chong said in surprise.

Originally, Gao Chong was just preparing to conquer Jingnan, but Sun Quan actually planned to persuade Jiaozhou to surrender. This was of course a good thing.

But who knows if Sun Quan has any other thoughts? Is he planning to persuade Shi Xie to surrender, or is he going to contact Shi Xie to send troops north to cooperate with the Jiangdong Army to deal with the Xiliang Army? After all, it was not only a letter from Sun Quan that went to Jiaozhou, but also a messenger. Who knows what the messenger said?

"This is natural." Sun Quan lowered his head and said.

Gao Chong immediately dispatched fast horses to deliver messages to Luoyang day and night. Although there was no instant communication in this era, there were inns to facilitate communication. There is a post station every few dozen miles, and horses are fed there.

When something urgent happens, the messenger will ride on a fast horse and change people without changing horses at the post station to deliver the message quickly. Because these war horses usually have sufficient physical strength in the inn, the messenger can keep moving at the fastest speed.

Yang Guifei loved to eat lychees, a special fruit produced in Lingnan. The messengers rode back and forth and were able to deliver fresh lychees to Yang Guifei. This shows how fast the post horse was.

The envoy sent by Gao Chong arrived in Luoyang soon, and Liu Ye naturally agreed happily after learning about it. Because although Jiaozhou has few soldiers, it is located in a remote area and is too far to the south.

You must know that the climate in ancient times was much hotter and humid than today. Jiaozhou in the Han Dynasty, which is now the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, had a temperature similar to that of the equatorial region today. If the soldiers marched south, they would definitely be acclimatized. According to the records of "Three Kingdoms", in fact, Cao Cao's army in the southern expedition was not burned down by Zhou Yu, but because the climate and soil were not suitable for them and they were infected with the plague. Therefore, Cao Cao ordered the warships to be burned and retreated.

Liu Ye immediately agreed with Sun Quan's advice to surrender Shi Xie, so Kanze went south with Sun Quan's handwritten letter.

Cochin County.

"I'm going to pay homage to the lord, Kanze, the envoy of Sun Sun's crusade against rebellion."

"Haha, it turns out to be Sun Tuini's envoy. Please call him quickly. I wonder why Mr. Kan came to Jiaozhou?"

They were facing each other in the meeting hall. The person in the middle of the seat was a middle-aged man. He was well-dressed and dignified. He seemed to be a well-educated man. He was Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi, and Shi Wu and Shi Yi, the prefect of Nanhai. Ren's brother is now the real leader in Jiaozhou.

The man opposite him had a resolute face. Although he was wearing a long gown, his temperament was more like that of a warrior. He was Kan Ze, a famous scholar from Jiangdong.

Shixie blocked Jiaozhou from the outside world, so he did not know about the war in Jingnan.

"I'm afraid Shi Gong still doesn't know that my lord Sun Tuini has surrendered to Emperor Jian'an of Luoyang." Kan Ze said slowly.

"What?" Shi Xie was so impressive that he couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this.

Why has Jiaozhou been able to separate itself independently for so many years despite constant disputes in the Central Plains? It is precisely because of the constant disputes between Liu Biao in Jingzhou, the Sun family in Jiangdong, and many princes in the Central Plains that Jiaozhou has been able to stay out of trouble.

"Today, the world is no longer an era of divisions between heroes. The general has swept across the world with the power of the emperor and has occupied eight states in the world. Even if the scholar wants to get away, it is impossible."

Kan Ze said bluntly: "High Governor Chen Bing Jingnan, if the military commander does not obey, the general will probably use force. I hope the military commander will consider it carefully."

"Hmph! Our army is stationed in a dangerous place and only defends but does not attack. Even if the Xiliang army has 100,000 people, what can it do?"

A man on the side snorted coldly. He looked fifty-six times similar to Shi Xie, but his demeanor was completely different. He was Shi Wu, the prefect of Nanhai.

"Is this Shi Nanhai?" Kan Ze slightly handed over to Shi Wu.

"Yes, this prefect is Shiwu. What do you want?" Shiwu said arrogantly.

"Hahaha, hahahaha!" Kan Ze suddenly laughed. At first it was just a small laugh, but then the sound became louder and louder, and he couldn't stop at all.

Shiwu became angry and said, "Why are you laughing? Are you seeking death?"

Kan Ze laughed and said, "I only laugh at Shi Nanhai for not following the natural time!"

"Since ancient times, those who disobey the destiny have never had a good end." Kan Ze said in a long voice: "Gongsun Shu and Kai Xiao ruled on one side, and each of them died after the birth of the ancestor (Emperor Guangwu). Since the birth of the general, he has wiped out the Yellow Turbans and pacified the northwest. , killed the national traitor Dong Zhuo, swept away Bashu, and were invincible in all battles and invincible. The strength of Jiaozhou is less than one-tenth of the general, so how can it compete with the general?"

"Oh, I understand." Kan Ze suddenly looked at Shiwu with a strange look in his eyes: "Does Shi Nanhai intend to encourage Shi Gong to fight against the general? After Shi Gong is defeated by the general, Shi Nanhai can Separate Jiaozhou and become the king of South Vietnam?"

"You, you are just talking nonsense, I will kill you for lying!" The warrior was naturally furious when he heard this, his face turned red, he held the hilt of the sword at his waist, and wanted to kill Kan Ze with a ferocious face.

"stop!"

Shi Xie gave a light drink.

"Brother! This guy clearly has no good intentions and wants to plot against our Jiaozhou!" Shiwu said dissatisfied.

"Shi Nanhai, Jiaozhou is the land of the imperial court. You are neither a marquis nor a king, how dare you say that you Jiaozhou?" Kan Ze said loudly.

"you!"

"Shiwu, stand down!" Shixie yelled loudly again. Although Shiwu was dissatisfied, he naturally did not dare to say anything to his eldest brother, so he had to sit back bitterly.

"Mr. Kan, please go down and rest first. I need to think about this matter for a while." Shi Xie said to Kan Ze.
