Hearing this, Huo Jun did not speak, but fell into deep thought. He is a kind person. Because of this, he is willing to go through life and death for Liu Bei, because Liu Bei, like him, is a person who puts kindness first.
However, Quyang City is the last gateway to Longbian. Once Quyang is lost, Ding Fengganning's army can directly attack Longbian.
If something goes wrong with Long Bian, he will be involved. After a fierce inner struggle, Huo Jun breathed a sigh of relief and finally decided to exchange Qu Yang for the lives of those innocent soldiers.
He could not watch those soldiers die like this. His kind nature was an advantage, but also a fatal flaw.
Huo Jun ordered the defenders to put down their crossbows and said to Ding Feng: "Ding Feng, I can give you Quyang, but how can you make me believe in your sincerity?"
Ding Feng and Gan Ning looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. They thought that Qu Yang would be a hard nut to crack, but they didn't expect that Huo Jun would be so happy and decided to trade the city for the lives of those worthless prisoners.
The two discussed for a while, and Ding Feng replied: "Don't worry, General Huo Jun. As long as you are willing to offer the city, the prisoners will definitely be yours. If you don't believe in my sincerity, then I will give half of the prisoners first and the remaining half until you withdraw." I will return it to you after leaving Quyang."
Knowing that this was the best method at present, Huo Jun agreed and ordered the defenders to open the city gate and let the Yizhou Army prisoners into the city.
Soon, all the prisoners of the Yizhou Army entered Quyang City. They knew that Huo Jun had saved them, and they all knelt in front of Huo Jun, crying with gratitude.
In this regard, Huo Jun did not say much, but just distributed weapons to them, preparing to withdraw from Quyang, return to Longbian, and meet with Longbian guard Wu Yi.
Climbing to the top of the city again, Huo Jun looked at Ding Feng, who was smiling at the bottom of the city, and said, "Ding Feng, I will withdraw to Quyang now. I hope you will keep your promise and release the remaining prisoners after you get Quyang."
Ding Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I always keep my word. As soon as Qu Yang gets it, the prisoner will be released."
Huo Jun nodded, descended from the city, and slowly evacuated Quyang City with the defenders and half of the prisoners.
As soon as Huo Jun left, Ding Feng and Gan Ning naturally took over the entire Quyang. When entering the city, Gan Ning still couldn't believe that Huo Jun really withdrew like this.
"Chengyuan, do you think Huo Jun is really willing to hand over Qu Yang?" Gan Ning asked.
Ding Feng said; "What can he do if he is not willing to do so? For the lives of those prisoners, he must evacuate even if he is not willing to do so."
"That's right. As for the remaining prisoners, Chengyuan, are you going to let them go, or" At this point, Gan Ning made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Ding Feng shook his head and said, "I don't plan to kill them all. Doing so will only completely anger Huo Jun and Liu Bei's people and intensify their resistance, so let them go."
Gan Ning nodded slightly, "That's good."
After that, all the remaining prisoners of the Yizhou Army were released back.
Ding Feng and Gan Ning went to kill Long Bian shortly after taking over Qu Yang.
On the other side, Huo Jun withdrew from Longbian in despair. Guard Wu Yi came to visit Huo Jun in person, but the main purpose was to ask about Qu Yang.
"Zhong Miao, what happened in Quyang? With your ability, is it possible that you can't stop Ding Feng and Gan Ning?"
Huo Jun raised his head and glanced at the confused Wu Yi, smiled bitterly and said, "Ziyuan didn't know something. Ding Feng used our prisoners to attack the city. I couldn't bear it, so I traded Qu Yang for the lives of those prisoners."
"What!" Wu Yi was shocked. He originally thought that Huo Jun was defeated, so he evacuated Quyang. Who knew that for the lives of several prisoners, he gave up such an important city as Quyang to the enemy.
Wu Yi pointed at Huo Jun¡¯s nose speechlessly, wanting to scold him, but couldn¡¯t. In the final analysis, Huo Jun still wanted to save one of their own.
Sighing, Wu Yi said: "Zhongmiao, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this? Let's not talk about how the king will punish your crime. Just say that without the Quyang portal, Ding Feng and Gan Ning's army will not be able to do so. The troops will be at the gates of the city in a day!"
Huo Jun said, "Ziyuan needless to say, I understand everything, but I really can't bear to see those former colleagues die like that. As for the punishment, I, Huo Jun, accept it."
"Admit it!" Wu Yi stared at Huo Jun and sighed; "Do you know how big a crime you have committed? This is a crime that requires beheading! You really are not afraid of death!"
"I'm afraid." Huo Jun didn't shy away, and continued:"But I am more afraid of feeling guilty, so I would rather die than feel guilty about myself."
Hearing this, Wu Yi shook his head. He could not communicate normally with Huo Jun, a stubborn donkey. However, the most urgent task was not to think about punishment, but to think about how to defend Long Bian.
Immediately, Wu Yi said: "Okay Zhong Miao, let's inform Da Wang Longbian of the situation first, and then think about how to defend the city."
Speaking of defending the city, Huo Jun's eyes became bright again, and he just started talking.
"Don't worry Ziyuan. Longbian City is deep and there were originally five thousand defenders. Now plus my three thousand people from Quyang and the prisoners I exchanged, the total number is thirteen thousand."
"And Ding Feng and Gan Ning only have 50,000 men at their disposal. With me here, it will be almost impossible for them to capture Longbian City."
Wu Yi nodded slightly. Although Huo Jun can be emotional sometimes, when it comes to defending the city, he is definitely the best in the world.
Time was running out, so the two of them immediately went down to prepare. Wu Yi went to write a letter to Liu Bei, while Huo Jun led the soldiers to the top of the dragon city and began to arrange the items needed to defend the city.
Time flies, and when the next day comes, Ding Feng and Gan Ning's troops also arrive at the foot of Longbian City. Looking at the high city in front of him, the deep pool, and the orderly and heavily guarded defenders on the city wall, Ding Feng knows in his heart that this will be A tough battle.
Looking at Huo Jun and Wu Yi standing on the top of the city, Ding Feng smiled and said, "Huo Jun, I didn't expect you and I to meet again so soon."
Huo Jun replied: "Yes, by the way, I would like to thank General Ding Feng for keeping his word and releasing our prisoners."
Ding Feng said nonchalantly, "It's a matter of course that you agree, so there's no need to say thank you."
While the two were talking, Wu Yi didn't want to listen anymore. He tugged on Huo Jun's clothes and signaled him to stop talking nonsense to Ding Feng, and immediately ordered the defenders to fire arrows.
¡°Swish, swish, swish!¡±
The arrows flying down all over the sky seemed to be warning Ding Feng and Gan Ning that if they dared to take a step beyond the thunder, they would surely die!
