Chapter 938 Sun Quan Surrenders

Lu Meng hugged Zhou Yu and a group of defeated soldiers and rushed to Sun Quan's side. Sun Quan was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Zhou Yu. He turned to Lu Meng and asked, "Ziming, what on earth is going on?"

Lu Meng shook his head: "My lord, I don't know. Originally, most of the governors lured the enemy deep and prepared to surround and annihilate part of the Xiliang army at the east gate to weaken the enemy. But I don't know what happened. The entire west wall suddenly collapsed, and thousands of Tens of thousands of Xiliang troops swarmed in. We couldn't resist it at all, and the governor also fainted."

"Ahem, lord."

Zhou Yu was already unconscious, but he had an obsession in his heart and refused to close his eyes, so he woke up soon.

"Gong Jin, are you awake?" Sun Quan asked in surprise, "How do you feel?"

Zhou Yu is now the backbone of the Jiangdong Army, and Sun Quan also relies heavily on him. Although the situation has deteriorated, it seems that as long as Zhou Yu is still there, there is still hope.

"The Xiliang army probably dug the tunnels and then burned them down, and the city walls naturally collapsed." Zhou Yu sighed and said, "It was Zhou Yu's fault that he failed to notice the enemy's attack during the past few days while planning the siege."

"Don't say that, Commander-in-Chief, no gold is pure, no man is perfect, and a wise man will make a mistake even if he thinks a lot, let alone us?" Lu Meng comforted.

In fact, Zhou Yu had been seriously injured for a long time. Ever since Cao Cao invaded Jiangdong, he had been working hard day and night, and his mental and physical strength was much worse than before.

"My Lord, you can quickly send someone to recall Taishi Xiaowei, Ling Sima, Xu Xiaowei and others, and immediately evacuate to Lingling. At the same time, ask for help from Jiaozhi Prefecture Shixie." Zhou Yu said weakly: "Liu Yuqing's ambition is to conquer the world and Jiaozhou." Although it is remote, it is absolutely impossible for him to let Jiaozhou go. My lord can order Kan Derun to be a lobbyist. This man is brave and resourceful."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu suddenly coughed violently again, and the large mouthfuls of blood dyed the brocade robe red.

"Gong Jin, please stop talking. If you continue like this, you will die," Sun Quan said in a deep voice.

Lu Meng stepped forward and said: "My lord, I am willing to protect your lord and the governor to break through the encirclement!"

Nowadays, Xiliang troops are everywhere in all directions. There are more than 10,000 Xiliang troops pouring into the city alone. It is not difficult to imagine that Gao Chong must have deployed more enemy troops outside the city. It is really a narrow escape to break out. However, Lu Meng took the initiative to ask for a job, which shows his loyalty and bravery.

"Don't surrender." Sun Quan waved his hand.

"What? Lord! Our army has withdrawn to Lingling and still has the strength to fight again. Liu Pan was beaten by the governor before and only had a few thousand troops left. Our army has Jiaozhou as its back and can still compete with the Xiliang army. We are at the end of our rope!" Lu Meng urged.

"But what if we are defeated again? Should our army retreat to Jiaozhou and serve as Shi Xie's guest, or should we flee to the sea?" Sun Quan asked with a bitter smile.

"Hey, surrender, why bother to continue fighting? Even if my brother is resurrected and joins forces with the Governor, will he still be able to defeat Liu Yuqing's power from the Seven States?"

In the original Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan was actually not a resolute resister. He was also afraid of Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops. Because Zhou Yu was determined to take the lead in the battle, it gave him confidence, so he decided to fight.

Among the princes in the world, there are very few people who can persevere after losing consecutive battles, that is, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who failed many times and still managed to regroup, but Sun Quan could not.

Now that Jiangdong's army had been defeated in repeated battles, Sun Quan had already lost confidence. Disheartened, he simply surrendered.

"But, my lord"

Lu Meng wanted to persuade again, but Sun Quan waved his hand: "Ziming, there is no need to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind!"

After saying that, Sun Quan straightened his clothes and stood solemnly.

Lu Meng sighed and stood behind Sun Quan, dejected and silent.

"kill!"

At this time, the overwhelming shouts of killing came over like a tide. Thousands of Xiliang troops on the opposite side gathered into a torrent of iron armor, rushing towards them with great momentum, trying to drown everything on the opposite side.

"Stop, I am Sun Quan of Wu County!"

"Yes, Lord."

Sun Quan and the leading generals of the Xiliang Army were all stunned.

"Xiu Mu, is that you?" Sun Quan said in shock.

Zhu Huan also had a complex expression: "General Sun, I'm really sorry that the last general has defected to the Xiliang Army."

Zhu Huan joined the Xiliang Army for family reasons, but he did not say it out loud. He was an upright man and naturally would not make excuses for himself.

"It doesn't matter. There is no need to say what is right or wrong. Let's talk about the matter at hand first."

Sun Quan sighed and said, "Sun Quan is willing to surrender, but he also asks Xiu Mu to immediately find a famous doctor to treat Gong Jin."

"The Governor is injured?" Zhu Huan asked in surprise.

"No, but the governor worked so hard that he vomited several liters of blood and is now unconscious."

Zhu Huan hurriedly ordered: "Send someone quickly to find a military doctor to treat Governor Zhou!"

The Xiliang army has systematic military doctors in order to reduce military casualties as much as possible. In fact, in the battle between the two armies, fewer people died and more were injured. However, ancient medical concepts were backward, so more people died after being injured than died on the spot.

Zhu Huan gave an order, and military doctors had already come out and hurriedly carried the medicine box to diagnose and treat Zhou Yu.

"Please also ask General Sun to order his soldiers to put down their weapons. Our army will take him into custody for the time being." Zhu Huan said to Sun Quan in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Okay." Since Sun Quan had decided to surrender, he naturally didn't like his mother-in-law. He immediately ordered his sergeants to drop their weapons and surrender in groups.

Zhu Huan, on the other hand, sent Pegasus to inform Gao Chong. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan actually surrendered on the spot. Although Gao Chong was surprised, he was also happy. It is of course best to surrender without fighting. Even if you are a victorious general, you will still have to die to win a battle. Who wants to die more?

The five thousand soldiers and horses led by Ding Feng withdrew immediately. After Sun Quan issued the order, although Taishi Ci, Xu Sheng and others were unwilling to do so, they did not dare to disobey Sun Quan's order and had to surrender one after another.

Only Ling Tong and Gan Ning wanted to fight Gan Ning no matter what because they had the hatred of killing their father. They finally gave up after being stopped by Tai Shi Ci and Xu Sheng.

After this battle, the Xiliang Army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, most of whom were under Gan Ning's command. After all, they were besieged by 6,000 Jiangdong Army, so there were naturally many casualties. The Jiangdong Army suffered fewer casualties. After all, except for Tai Shici and others who fought with Gan Ning, Sun Quan directly ordered the remaining people to surrender.

At this time, Sun Quan and a group of Jiangdong Army generals gathered nervously outside the house. Some people couldn't help but walk back and forth, looking anxious.

Gao Chong, Gan Ning and others were not as nervous as they were. Only Zhu Huan also looked nervous because Zhou Yu was in this room.
