Chapter 1347: Subduing Wei Yan

Although Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were both lord-level generals, they still couldn't withstand the encirclement of Bai Xiaowen's army in this desperate situation.

After resisting for a period of time, the two generals fell off their horses and were captured one after another, and then escorted to Bai Xiaowen's Chinese army tent.

Bai Xiaowen said: "You two, are you willing to surrender?"

Wei Yan remained silent. Huang Zhong said loudly: "The old man's head can be broken, and he must not surrender!"

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Old General Huang, you were originally a general of Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, and you were frustrated. You followed Liu Bei, and your time was short. Why are you so loyal to Liu Bei? But you don't know that Liu Bei will be my prisoner sooner or later."

Huang Zhongdao: "Han Xuan can't use me because he doesn't know people well. Under Uncle Liu Huang, the old man was entrusted with the post of vanguard and general, and he is highly valued. How can he live up to the kindness of knowing you?"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "A mere pioneer can be called important? From my point of view, General Huang's civil and military strategy is enough to stand alone."

Huang Zhong didn't believe it, and said: "Don't try to sow discord, the old man is determined not to surrender."

Bai Xiaowen frowned and said, "Liu Bei will be captured by me sooner or later, and Jingzhou will also be in my pocket. General Huang, don't you think about your family?"

Huang Zhong's face changed slightly.

Bai Xiaowen then ordered Huang Zhong to be taken down and imprisoned. Then, he looked at Wei Yan: "Are you willing to surrender?"

Wei Yan showed hesitation.

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said:

"Gu knows what's on your mind. You want to make contributions and gain fame.

"If you join Liu Bei, you will be able to attack the city and occupy the land, and you will have many opportunities to display your talents; however, our army is about to conquer the world, and there are very few dissatisfied princes left. Under my tent, there is no way to use your fists. Isn't it?"

Wei Yan's thoughts were all told by Bai Xiaowen, and his red face turned pale in horror, and it took him a long time to recover.

Ge Xuan said: "My lord, Poverty is quite good at matching people. From my perspective, this person has rebellious bones in the back of his head, and he will rebel after a long time. It is useless to surrender."

Wei Yan's face, which had just recovered, turned pale again.

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Now is the time for employing people. Wei Yan is quite courageous, and it would be a pity to kill him. Even if he is rebellious, if he wants to betray me, he has to weigh the severity."

After finishing speaking, Bai Xiaowen looked directly at Wei Yan and said, "Wei Wenchang, if you are willing to surrender, you will be alone as a Marquis; if you don't surrender, you will be decapitated in an instant. How to choose is up to you."

With fame and fortune on the one hand, and moving his head on the other, Wei Yan quickly knelt down and begged for surrender.

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said with a smile: "Temporarily entitle you as Marquis of Guannei, General Yamen. After you have made meritorious service, depending on the size of your contribution, you will be granted the title of Shiyi."

Although Marquis of Guannei is only a noble title with no real value, Wei Yan was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Bai Xiaowen then asked Wei Yan: "You and Huang Zhong are both from Changsha County?"

Wei Yan hurriedly said: "Reporting to Lord Yan, it is true that Huang Zhong is a veteran of Changsha County, but the last general was originally from Yiyang. Later, he took refuge in Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and was exiled under the gate of Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha. Later Liu Bei took the power of Jingzhou and visited If you are a good man, invite the last general and Huang Zhong to accompany the army."

Bai Xiaowen smiled secretly, knowing that what Wei Yan said was not true.

In Romance, Wei Yan wanted to seek refuge with Liu Bei several times. First, when Liu Biao died of illness and Liu Cong succeeded, he killed the officials of Xiangyang City Gate,

He wanted to dedicate the city to Liu Bei; later he was exiled to Changsha County, hacked to death the prefect Han Xuan, and offered Changsha County to Liu Bei again.

So, Wei Yan said to Liu Bei, it is really nothing, you are the wind and I am the sand, and I am willing to be a dog licking to the end of the world.

Therefore, when Wei Yan said that "Liu Bei visited the talents" to recruit him, it was estimated that it was not true, and it was definitely Wei Yan who made it up.

It's a pity that licking a dog can't be a house after all (note). Zhuge Liang didn't want to see Wei Yan very much. As soon as they met, he came down and said that Wei Yan had a rebellious bone in the back of his head and wanted to cut him off; , but on his deathbed, he planned to kill Wei Yan.

Bai Xiaowen continued to ask: "Huang Zhong is in Jingzhou, does he have a family?"

Wei Yan nodded and said: "There is a son and a daughter. The son's name is Huang Xu, who is weak and sick; the daughter's name is unknown, but when we chatted, it is said that she is also a female general who is proficient in bow and horse."

Having said that, Wei Yan carefully glanced at Li Shuyi and Cecilia.

Bai Xiaowen knew it in his heart.

There are historical records of Huang Xu, but he was weak and died early; probably because the aborigines in the spiritual world are stronger than ordinary people, Huang Xu here did not die early.

As for Huang Zhong's daughter, I haven't heard much about it. Most of it is a fictional female general based on a game in the AD era.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Although Liu Bei was defeated in this battle, he still escaped. I have a plan to stop Liu Bei. Are you willing to lead the army to fight?"

Wei Yan cupped his hands and said: "Since I have surrendered to Duke Yan, I have received the kindness and special treatment from Duke Yan, so I should die for Duke Yan. Now Duke Yan is my lord, and Liu Bei is no longer my lord."

Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly and said: "Okay, the next big battle is coming, you go to rest. Next, intercept Liu Bei, and I will watch your courage and bravery."

Wei Yan bowed his hands happily and thanked him.

Zhang He remained silent, but Cao Hong said angrily, "This man is unrighteous, how can Duke Yan use him?"

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "One who is the master of others should make good use of it. There are many people in the world who are virtuous but have no talent, but too few have both ability and virtue. Therefore, in order to calm the world, only talents should be used. Wei Yan has the will to siege cities. Yes, even if I have bad conduct, I can use it, just be careful not to be backlashed."

Cao Hong, Cao Chun and others all looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Why, I'm not right? You guys have doubts, so feel free to tell me." Bai Xiaowen still pays attention to Cao's surrendered general's emotions.

Cao Hong cupped his hands and said: "I dare not wait, it's just the words of Duke Yan, and the late Duke Cao..."

"Ahem!" Cao Chun coughed, Cao Hong woke up and shut up quickly.

Bai Xiaowen laughed loudly: "Gu and Cao Mengde are heroes who see the same thing!" He didn't care about Cao Hong's slip of the tongue.

Cao Hong and Cao Chun knelt down one after another: "Duke Yan's mind is as vast as the river and sea."

Bai Xiaowen then led the troops across the Lianyun Plank Road, intending to intercept Liu Bei.

The condition for interception is to know the enemy's strategic intention, but to know the enemy's position.

Bai Xiaowen has already met these two conditions.

Liu Bei now has only one choice, and that is to go to Jiameng Pass and Fushui Pass to join Zhuge Liang's reinforcements. This is his strategic intention.

As for the direction, there are geographical maps of mountains and rivers. No matter how Liu Bei changes lanes, he will not be able to escape an ambush.

However, Bai Xiaowen also spent a lot of thought on how to choose the ambush location. The reason why he allowed Liu Bei to escape and did not use props such as "soldiers are precious and fast" to pursue him is that on the one hand, the possibility of catching up is low, and on the other hand, Liu Bei, who is alone, still has a certain use value.
