After hearing Cai Zhong's words, Zhang Yun's face instantly became very exciting.

However, because he didn't know what the main general Cai Mao was thinking, he didn't dare to speak up.

He just smiled and said, "Hehe, that's exactly what Brother Cai Zhong said. It's just that as a minister, it's not very good for me to surrender so simply and neatly.

However, I, Zhang Yun, have a low status and dare not represent others. Everything is decided by General Cai. "

When Cai Mao heard this, he couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart: "You old cunning!"

However, Zhang Yun's words were not dead, there was room for change in everything.

Moreover, he stated on the spot that he would listen to Cai Mao's arrangement, but in fact, he was already inclined to what Cai Zhong said just now.

After all, it is not a righteous thing to offer a city to join the enemy. If Zhang Yun is really loyal to Sun Ce, he must sternly refuse.

What I said now is vague, but it makes sense.

Therefore, Cai Mao also understood his thoughts in his heart.

So he pretended to be embarrassed and let out a long sigh: "Oh! I, Cai Mao, lived in Jingzhou for generations, and I have devoted myself to the people of Jingzhou.

At that time, he assisted Liu Biao, the governor, to resist powerful enemies for him, and conquered from south to north, in order to obtain the tranquility of Jingzhou.

Later, his successor, Liu Cong, had poor fortune and could not keep his foundation. The king competed with Jingxiang.

This general, in order to save the people from the flames of war, was willing to bear the infamy of disloyalty and unrighteousness, and took the initiative to join Sun Ce.

Cai Mao does not seek fame and hangs down in Qing history, but only hopes that the common people will not be displaced, and that they can live and work in peace and contentment!

However, I, Cai Mao, have limited abilities. After a year of peace, the flames of war ignited again.

Seeing that the people are going back to the precarious days, I feel really uneasy!

In order to prevent the common people from ending up like this, so what if I, Cai Mao, bear the infamy again? "

"well said!"

Zhang Yun on the side is also a veteran, and he immediately understood Cai Mao's thoughts after hearing Xian's bosom friend.

So, he immediately continued following Cai Mao's words.

"Brother Degui's words make my brother admire. You are pure-hearted, not for fame and wealth, not for a living, but for the common people.

This kind of benevolence and righteousness is absolutely admired by the younger generations.Although he was tainted with infamy in this world, it will inevitably be famous through the ages!

Now that the brother has made up his mind, the younger brother should do his best to help, and work together to find peace for the people of Jingxiang! "

The two boasted to each other, and finally unified their opinions.

Cai Zhong on the side was naturally equally happy when he heard the words.

After all, if he can persuade these two to surrender, Fancheng will naturally be won without a fight, and his own achievements will definitely be the greatest, and the rewards will be very generous at that time.

Therefore, Cai Zhong immediately took out Liu Ke's edict and gave the two of them another booster.

"Brother Mao, Brother Yun, Your Majesty has long expected that the two of them will be able to make the best choice with their hearts of benevolence and righteousness.

In order to commend the feat of the two generals, here is His Majesty's unique personal edict! "

Seeing this, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were shocked, and fell to their knees involuntarily.

This move further illustrates the decision of the two.

So Cai Zhong slowly opened the bright yellow edict, expressing Liu Ke's rewards one by one.

When Cai Mao heard that he was granted the title of Marquis of Fancheng and led the general to seek captives, Zhang Yun was given the title of Marquis of Shunyi and led the rear of General Pingyi.

The two immediately thanked each other excitedly.

Afterwards, Cai Mao excitedly stepped forward to hold Cai Zhong's hand and said, "Brother Zhong, go back and report to Your Majesty.

Let’s just say that General Zhang Yun and I tidy up and officially open the city at noon tomorrow to welcome His Majesty into Fancheng! "

Seeing that the two of them were so sensible, Cai Zhong naturally nodded in satisfaction, and told them a few words before leaving.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, which was even more ear-piercing in the night.

Cai Hao was originally in a good mood, but he suddenly asked with some dissatisfaction: "Housekeeper, who is making such a loud noise in the middle of the night? Don't you know that Ben is going to deal with important military affairs?"

The old butler hurried over and said with a troubled expression: "General, it's not that this old slave deliberately disturbed you. It's just that it's just General Zhang Fen..."

When Cai Mao heard this, he froze for a moment.

You must know that Zhang Fen was just sent into the city by Sun Quan, and he does not belong to the Jingzhou faction, so his identity is self-evident.

It was for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to come here to monitor him.

If Cai Mao could bear it before, now that he has surrendered to Liu Ke, he thinks that he was often humiliated by the Jiangdong faction before.

The anger in his heart rushed straight to his forehead, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't want to bear it any longer.

Cai Mao sneered and said: "Hmph! He Zhang Fen is just a small chief secretary, how dare he despise this general and trespass into the general's mansion!

Come, let him in, I want to see what he is going to do! "

With Cai Mao's order, the guards who had blocked Zhang Fen finally let him go.

Then I saw Zhang Fen leading his personal guards walking in swaggeringly.
