Everyone walked into the tent one after another.
Li Yuan said straight to the point, "Prince Chang'an, let's be frank. Marshal Xiang is very interested in your surrender.
However, there are still some issues that need to be discussed, such as the time and place of surrender."
Hearing this, Ying Chengjiao said thoughtfully, "Does your Excellency have any advice?"
Li Yuan said, "To prevent any deception on our part, let our army choose the location, and the Prince of Chang'an choose the time to surrender. What do you think?"
"That's great."
Ying Chengjiao nodded.
Li Yuan did that just to gain the other party's trust.
After all, his current identity is to represent Xiang Yan to negotiate with him and discuss the details of surrender.
In order to prevent Xiang Liang from noticing anything, he had to act appropriately.
As long as he knew the location, he could notify the Qin army in advance, and then successively destroy the King of Chang'an and the Chu army that accepted his surrender.
As for time, it was left to Gao Lishi and others.
That's all he can do.
If you don't do it well, you will be ruined. If you do it well, the Qin State will definitely not treat you unfairly.
Anyway, he has no choice at the moment.
......
The place of surrender was chosen near Lingbao Mountain.
This mountain is only a day's journey away from Hangu Pass.
The location has been decided, now it's just a matter of time.
To be on the safe side, Ying Chengjiao has not yet announced the specific time to the public.
However, for the Qin army, having a location means having room to operate.
at this time.
In Cao's army camp, four provincial governors were discussing matters with Cao Cao.
They had just received news from Gao Lishi and Yu Jin.
Cao Cao stared at the feng shui map in front of him and asked worriedly, "General Dong, I wonder where your general Lu Bu is now?"
Dong Zhuo clasped his fists and said, "We have already reached Yanghua Mountain. In three days at most, we will reach Lingbao Mountain."
"Are you sure no one has discovered us?"
This is exactly what Cao Cao was worried about.
Lu Bu had an army of 50,000 under his command.
If they were discovered by the enemy or Ying Chengjiao, their plan would fail.
However, during the march for many days, Lu Bu had been walking on mountain roads.
It is not an exaggeration to call those roads natural dangers.
No normal person would have thought that they would choose to march along such a route.
It can be said that Lu Bu’s army was a surprise force, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a divine army sent from heaven.
After all, in this era, there is no satellite positioning.
"Please rest assured, General Cao. That route was personally planned by us, and nothing has leaked out. Besides, isn't that scholar named Xi Zhicai accompanying us? Are you still worried, General Cao?"
Dong Zhuo said this with a smile, looking like he was sure of victory.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's good. As long as this battle is successful, the next step is for us to march to the outside of Hangu Pass and catch the Chu army off guard!"
......
The only one who knew Lu Bu's exact marching route was Yu Jin.
At first, after Cao Cao knew about Lu Bu's bravery, he thought he was the best choice.
Even the unrivaled general Pan Feng, the fierce general Xu Chu and others could not match Lu Bu's bravery.
With him guarding the three armies, we will surely succeed.
Two more days passed.
Ying Chengjiao finally decided on the time for surrender.
When they received the news at Hangu Pass, they were already on their way.
Inside the pass.
Xiang Yan, now full of energy and able to walk freely, looked at Li Yuan and Xiang Liang and said earnestly:
"Previously, you were the ones who were in contact with the Qin army. This time, it is you who will go to Lingbao Mountain to accept the enemy's surrender.
At that time, I will ask Xiang Chao to meet you a hundred miles outside Hangu Pass, if your surrender goes smoothly.
Then, you two will be the great heroes of our decisive battle with the Qin army."
"Please rest assured, General, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
"Please rest assured, Marshal. I will do my best."
The two of them spoke one after another.
......
Early October of the second year of Chengping.
Li Yuan and Xiang Liang led 30,000 troops to accept the surrender of Chang'an King Ying Chengjiao.
Although there are only 80,000 people on his side at most.
However, the status of a Qin royal noble is worth thousands of troops.
Just imagine, when the people of Qin knew that even members of the royal family had defected to the enemy.
So, do they still think they can defeat the State of Chu?
Once the morale of the people and the army is affected, the war is half lost.
Ying Chengjiao has arrived at Lingbao Mountain for many days.
The very next day, he surrendered to the Chu army.
From now on, we will completely part ways with the State of Qin.
Unless one day, the Chu army can destroy the Qin State.
But for him, this is the only way to survive.
No choice.
In the camp.
Yu Jin and others saw that the time had come.
Then I started to choose to take action.
The three thousand men he brought with him had been deployed around the main tent after gaining Ying Chengjiao's trust.
The purpose is to use these troops to quickly control the situation when the other party becomes aware of it.
As a result, the soldiers under Ying Chengjiao did not dare to make any rash moves.
This plan is risky, but it is the most profitable.
After all, to put it bluntly, the people under his command are all Qin people.
If a commander-in-chief plots treason, especially when his soldiers are unaware of it, he can be forgiven.
Ying Chengjiao gathered all his generals and said slowly, "Starting tomorrow, you will follow me to the State of Chu.
