Chapter 205: Liu Biao Surrenders

Seeing Liu Biao's attitude, Kuai Liang did not flinch at all and continued to say to Liu Biao:

"My lord, that is still much better than continuing to flee!"

"Now, we have already been surrounded by the imperial army."

"My lord, and fellow colleagues, you all think, do we still have any place to flee?"

After speaking, Kuai Liang looked at Liu Biao and the crowd with a heavy face.

In fact, everyone knew that they had no way out.

Now, surrender was the best way out.

Moreover, they had already made contact in private.

And the only one who could not accept it was Liu Biao alone.

Without paying attention to Liu Biao's ugly face, Kuai Liang continued:

"My lord, now except for Jiangxia Commandery, all other places have fallen into the hands of the imperial court."

"Now, even Inspector Liu Yao of Yangzhou is unable to protect himself."

"We only have this many people, and now the Jingzhou navy has been completely wiped out; we simply cannot escape by land."

"For the current plan, we only have to surrender to have a glimmer of life!"

After Kuai Liang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Biao and the crowd with a heavy face.

"Is it really necessary to surrender?"

After Liu Biao heard Kuai Liang's words, he slumped into his seat, his face full of ash.

For a time, he found this result somewhat difficult to accept.

However, thinking that now, except for Jiangxia Commandery, he had no other place to flee, he was also somewhat helpless.

"My lord, Zirou's words are very true. Now, we truly have no need to continue fleeing."

Just then, Kuai Yue, who was beside Kuai Liang, also came out and said to Liu Biao gravely.

"I second this!"

After Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue finished speaking, others also came out and echoed one after another.

Since these two had already made the matter clear, they had no need to continue hiding it.

Seeing this scene, Liu Biao felt as if his entire strength had been drained away.

He already knew the choice of the crowd; it seemed that these people had already reached a consensus in private.

If he still insisted on not surrendering, these people would definitely surrender in private.

After all, for them, surrendering meant having a glimmer of life.

At worst, it would be like other aristocratic families, handing over their land and preserving the entire family, which was also possible.

Moreover, they had already fled to Jiangxia Commandery, and many of their families had long been under Huang Zhong's control.

Rather than this, it would be better to surrender early.

A while later, Liu Biao stood up tremblingly, scanned the crowd with cold eyes, and gritted his teeth:

"Since that is the case, then go and negotiate with Huang Zhong, surrender!"

After speaking, Liu Biao walked out of the hall with a sense of listlessness; he did not want to care about the matters behind him anymore.

After Liu Biao left, the crowd discussed for a while, and then Kuai Liang, representing the crowd, went to negotiate with Huang Zhong.

At this time, Huang Zhong, leading the twenty thousand Zhuque Legion troops plus Sun Jian's fifty thousand troops, was just about to attack the city.

Only to see the city gates of Jiangxia suddenly open slowly; for a time, Huang Zhong also paused his military order.

As the city gates opened, only to see Kuai Liang slowly walk out from the city and come toward Huang Zhong's army.

"General Huang Zhong, I am Jingzhou Cavalry Attendant Kuai Liang, and I have an important matter to seek an audience with the general!"

"General, this person is indeed Kuai Liang, but I don't know why he wants to see the general at this time!"

Sun Jian, who was beside Huang Zhong, looked at Kuai Liang and found it was indeed him, so he immediately said to Huang Zhong.

"Then let's see him; perhaps there will be an unexpected surprise!"

At this time, Huang Zhong, after looking at Kuai Liang, roughly guessed something and said to Sun Jian with a smile.

Hearing Huang Zhong's words, the soldiers on the side also put down their vigilance.

When Kuai Liang arrived in front of Huang Zhong, looking at Huang Zhong riding on the warhorse, and seeing the black army behind him,

he only felt a chill rise, and unknowingly, his momentum weakened by a few points.

"May I ask if this is General Huang Zhong?"

Kuai Liang first looked at Huang Zhong and asked.

"I am Huang Zhong. Mr. Kuai Liang, you come to see me at this time, I don't know for what matter?"

Huang Zhong looked at Kuai Liang before him, did not dismount, but sat on the horse and said from a high position.

"General Huang, our Inspector knows he is no match for the general, so he dispatched me to negotiate peace with the general!"

After Kuai Liang finished speaking, he carefully watched Huang Zhong's expression.

"Hmph, he, Liu Biao, does not have the qualifications to negotiate peace with me. My attitude is very clear."

"Either surrender, or die!"

After hearing Kuai Liang's words, Huang Zhong immediately snorted coldly.

He said to Kuai Liang with an icy voice.

Negotiate peace!

Does he, Liu Biao, have the qualifications to negotiate peace with them?

Truly thinking beautifully!

Seeing this, Kuai Liang was also somewhat panicked; he also did not expect Huang Zhong's attitude to be so tough.

Originally, he had planned that it would be best if they could negotiate peace.

It seemed that negotiating peace was impossible!

"Everything will be done according to the general's words; we surrender!"

At this time, Kuai Liang no longer dared to challenge Huang Zhong's bottom line and immediately said respectfully.

"Hmph!"

"Since that is the case, then open the city gates and surrender!"

Seeing Kuai Liang become honest, Huang Zhong snorted coldly at him.

Regarding Kuai Liang's little thoughts, he still guessed some of them.

"Please wait a moment, General, I will go back and arrange it!"

Upon hearing this, Kuai Liang hurriedly bowed and responded.

"Remember, I will only give you half a quarter-hour. If it exceeds half a quarter-hour, I will order the army to start attacking the city."

Seeing Kuai Liang about to leave, Huang Zhong instructed him gravely.

Upon hearing this, Kuai Liang, who was about to leave, felt his body tremble.

He hurriedly responded: "Please rest assured, General, I will definitely open the city gates and surrender before half a quarter-hour!"

After speaking, Kuai Liang left in a hurry.

"Heh, it seems these people are also afraid!"

After Kuai Liang left, Sun Jian said to Huang Zhong.

"It's just that I don't know how this Liu Biao dared to choose to surrender!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong looked at him and said indifferently: 【

"General Wéntai, do you think he, Liu Biao, wants to surrender?"

"If my initial guess is correct, it must be these people who threatened Liu Biao into surrendering!"

"Otherwise, he, Liu Biao, would absolutely never surrender."

"You must know that whether he surrenders or not, he can hardly escape death; choosing to surrender at this time must have been forced by these people!"

After speaking, Huang Zhong looked at Sun Jian and the others, his face full of confidence.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Jian pondered for a moment and said to Huang Zhong:

"The General is indeed brilliant; this matter must be exactly as you say!"

Soon, the half-quarter-hour time limit was about to expire, and at the same time, Kuai Liang led a group of Jingzhou's civil and military officials out of Jiangxia City.

And Liu Biao walked in front of the crowd, his face full of calmness.

Having reached this step, he also knew his own ending.
