"Mingfu, then you might as well just surrender to us!"

The drunkenness made the cowards brave. The words that Su County Chief Su suddenly yelled suddenly suppressed the crying and noise of drunkards such as Hu Zhi and Jiang Chang, which surprised them and turned their heads to look at County Chief Su. County Chief Su, who was already drunk, shook his head and said, "Mingfu, since you don't want to die yet, it's easy. As long as you lead the military and civilians of Jiangzhou to surrender to our Han army, you will definitely be able to survive, be promoted and wealthy, and be rich, and you will never be able to enjoy it in your life."

He still maintained a last trace of rationality in his heart. Hu Zhi, who had been sitting on the ground crying, struggled to stand up, staggered to Junzhu Su, grabbed Junzhu Su's collar, and said with a grin: "A man, the fox's tail has finally been revealed. You are indeed here to persuade me to surrender, right?"

"So what? So what?" Su Juncheng, who had been completely confused, asked without fear without any fear. He smiled and said, "Will you really throw this Juncheng into the cauldron and cook it?"

"Do you think I dare not?" Hu Zhi's forehead began to rush.

"Then come?" County Magistrate Su roared and roared, "If you are not afraid of being buried with this county Magistrate, come here! Don't you, a common man, know how unwilling the hearts of the army and the people in Jiangzhou? If you cook this county Magistrate, it is equivalent to cooking yourself. After our Han army conquered Jiangzhou, there will naturally be someone to avenge this county Magistrate, and you will only die even worse by then!"

"I am not afraid!" Hu Zhi yelled with red eyes.

"Aren't you afraid? Then you just cried?" County Chief Su yelled even louder and shouted: "You just admitted that Sima Wang's old military military officer Wang Hun used the excuse of going to Brazil to report military information that he had escaped in the last battle and threw you in Jiangzhou to die. The navy soldiers in Jiangzhou hate you, the county soldiers hate you, and the people hate you even more. You may open the city gate and surrender at any time. You are already dead! This County Chief finds a way to save your life, why don't you thank me quickly?"

"A man, listen to my advice." The completely broken Juncheng Su patted Hu Zhi on the shoulder and said, "Surrender, our Han army will not treat you badly. After surrender, you can not only continue to enjoy wealth and prosperity, but also eat canned candies, lunch and meat every day, which is better than life-saving."

"I am from the upper country of Central Plains. How can I surrender to a small country like you Shu people?"

Hu Zhi's voice was a little weak, and County Magistrate Su cursed: "The bullshit Central Plains, how did you Jin come from? Don't you know? It was stolen from the Cao family! The Cao family's country came from, stolen from Emperor Xian of Han! It was either stealing or robbing. You still have the face to call yourself the Central Plains!"

"Brother, the same thing. Follow my advice and surrender is the only way to survive."

Junzhu Su patted Hu Zhi on the shoulder again and said, "When I was in the upper reaches of Jiangyang, I heard how much the soldiers in Bazhou hate you. They all want to eat your meat and sleep with your skin. So I bet that if you refuse to surrender, the soldiers in Jiangzhou will not only open the city gate and surrender to our Han army, but will also break you into pieces and chop you into meat sauce. Don't you want to be chopped and fed to the dog after you die, right?"

Hu Zhi's hand slowly loosened, and Su Juncheng said again: "Brother, think about it again, how many things have you done in Jiangzhou in the past few years? How many soldiers have been killed by you and beaten up with military sticks? How many ordinary people have you been killed by you and dared not raise their sons, throwing their sons out of the house and starving to death? Are you not afraid of those children becoming unjust souls and pestering you to let go? Are you not afraid of those soldiers who have been killed by you to complain to Emperor Dongyue, and letting you not be able to die after you die, and you can only be a lonely ghost forever?"

"I was forced by the court, I am for their own good." Hu Zhi slowly shed tears again and said with a sob: "Bazhou is too close to Dongwu. If I don't practice good soldiers and build good ships, the Dongwu dog thieves are coming, how can I protect the country and the people?"

"But they want to take care of your love?" County Chief Su burped heavily and said, "Those who know you know you are forced by the Jin thief court, but do those common people know? They are forced by you to train soldiers and build ships every day, and they are beaten to do hard work at any time. Who do they hate? Don't they hate you? Will they hate Sima Yan's child in Luoyang City?"

Hu Zhi lowered his head weakly and continued to sob. Su Juncheng pointed at Jiang Chang and other civil and military officials of the Jin army and said, "What are you still stunned? If you want to survive, please beg your Hu Mingfu to surrender so that your family will not be implicated, your children will not be raised, and you can save your lives. Then go to our Han army to eat candy, lunch meat, instant noodles, and all kinds of delicious foods. How come you are better than just saving your life like this, right?"

All the drunk Jin army and civil and military officials didn't say anything. They just watched Hu Zhi make a decision. Su Dingze said to Hu Zhi again: "Brother, have you seen it? They are all waiting for you to make an idea. Now you can save all their lives and save the lives of their entire family. How much good deeds have you accumulated?"

Hu Zhi, who was in chaos in his mind, looked up with difficulty. Seeing that several subordinates were all looking at him pitifully, Hu Zhi's heart was inevitably even more shaken.

"Also, brother, if you surrender, you will definitely save not only their lives and their whole family's lives, but also more lives." Su Juncheng hooked Hu Zhi's shoulder and shook his head and continued, "Think about it, when the war is in full swing, how many people will die in Jiangzhou? But if you order to surrender, all these people will not have to die. If you save so many people in one breath, will those children's ghosts still pester you? Will the Emperor of Dongyue forgive you? It is not impossible to make you become a god and an immortal!"

"But..., yes, what should I do with my family?" Hu Zhi said pitifully: "They are all in Luoyang. If I surrender, they will not be able to survive."

"Is the lives of your family important? Or is the lives of thousands of Jiangzhou soldiers and civilians?!" County Chief Su roared and said, "You have done so many things that are sorry to Jiangzhou soldiers and civilians. At the last moment, can't you do something that is worthy of them?"

"Think about those poor children. When they were born, they didn't even drink a sip of milk. Because of you, they were immediately thrown out of the house and starved to death! Think about those poor babies crying in the wilderness and were eaten by wild dogs and hungry wolves. Does your conscience feel distressed?"

"Think about the soldiers who were beheaded by you? Their parents finally raised them so old that they were chopped down by you because of a small mistake! How sad are their parents? How pitiful are their wives and children? When you have nightmares at night, will you see the wronged souls of these people, their parents, wives and children?"

"A man, you have done so many things that are harmful to nature. At the last moment, can't you do a good thing to redeem it and atone for your sins? Do you want to be pointed at the grave and scolded by the people and soldiers of Jiangzhou at the grave and stool and pee in the place where you buried you? If you do a good thing to save them at the last moment, will they still hate you so much? It is not impossible to build a temple for you!"

When the hysterical roared here with his teeth and claws, Hu Zhi, who was indeed guilty of conscience, could no longer control his emotions. He covered his face with his hands and burst into tears again, saying, "Mr. Su, don't say it, don't say it, don't say it anymore. I'm sorry to the people of Jiangzhou and the soldiers of Jiangzhou. I know, I know all of this."

"Since you know, then you should surrender quickly!" County Chief Su shouted: "Now! I will summon the entire city's military and civilians immediately! I will admit my mistakes to them in front of them, and then hand over your Jiangzhou prefect's seal to me in front of them, get into the prison cart, and apologize in front of Cuan Gu! Then tell the military and civilians of Jiangzhou, and you will say that in order to atone for your sins, you have decided to take them to surrender to our Han army so that they can avoid the disaster of war! Do you understand?"

"I understand, understand." Hu Zhi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then turned to Jiang Chang and other civil and military officials of the Jin army and cried and said, "Everyone, I, Hu Zhi, are not the same thing, I have done too many unethical things, but I really want to be a good person, so I decided to take this opportunity to take you to surrender to the Han army, so that you can not spend your life with me in vain, and let your family continue to be cared for. I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you not to hate me, and never hold a grudge against the wrong things I did before."

"Mingfu——!"

The Jin army and civil and military officials present knelt on their knees, and also cried and kowtowed to Hu Zhi desperately. Hu Zhi shouted: "Come here, prepare a prison cart and bring the seal of the prefect of my official! Also, immediately beat the drums in the vegetable market and summon the military and civilians of the whole city. I want to apologize to them!"

"Mingfu, aren't you kidding?"

When the captain of the personal soldiers who had not drunken alcohol heard the anxious hearing this, Hu Zhi roared: "Stop talking and act according to the order immediately! I am the official for your own good. You are all my personal soldiers. The Han army has entered Jiangzhou City, and none of you can survive!"

Knowing that Hu Zhi was a bear-like temper who often killed people, even Hu Zhi's personal soldiers did not dare to be careless. They could only prepare the prison cart obediently and brought Hu Zhi's seal. Hu Zhi and Su Juncheng supported each other and led the Jin army's civil and military officials to the vegetable market. During this period, the minor officials who received the order quickly beat the drum and summoned the soldiers and civilians in the city without mentioning it.

Not long after Hu Zhi and Su Juncheng supported each other to the vegetable market, countless military and civilians came to the vegetable market to watch. Then, as the faces of thousands of military and civilians in Jiangzhou, Hu Zhi knelt down on everyone's knees, raised his head and shouted loudly: "People, soldiers, I, Hu Zhi, are here to take the blame to you today!"

Seeing this scene, the soldiers and civilians in Jiangzhou were naturally in a big uproar, and they didn't dare to keep their eyes and ears. Hu Zhi continued to shout, "I'm really sorry to you, because the court asked me to build ships and train navy, and because I am a man's temper is too violent. In the past few years, I don't know how many soldiers have been killed, nor how many corvee has been distributed to you, so you dare not raise your sons. You can only throw them out of the house and starve to death. I deserve to die! Even if I kill me a hundred times or a thousand times, it is not enough to cleanse my sins!"

The whole audience was silent, only Hu Zhi's guilty crying sound echoed in the square, and then Hu Zhi cried with tears in his eyes: "Soldiers, people, actually, I have always wanted to be a good person! Now the opportunity has finally come. The Han's rear general sent the Han army to restore Jiangzhou. I have two choices. One is for myself and to fight to the end, and the other is for you, to lead you to surrender to the Han army, so that the Han army can directly restore Jiangzhou City, and also let you not suffer the war! But if I do this, my wife and children in Luoyang will all die!"

"Don't worry!" Hu Zhi shouted out the highest notion of his life again and shouted wildly: "I have already thought it through, my wife and children, I don't want it anymore! I want to atone for my sins! I want to apologize to you! So I decided to take you to surrender to the Han army so that you can avoid war or be poisoned by the war! I don't ask you to forgive me, I just hope you know that although I, Hu Zhi, have done countless things wrong, I also want to be a good person!"

"Mingfu——!"

Before Hu Zhi finished his words, the soldiers and civilians present in Jiangzhou were already kneeling down, and some people shed tears of emotion. Hu Zhi stood up and yelled: "Soldiers, the people, see clearly. This is Su Dingsu County Magistrate sent by the Han army to persuade him to surrender. Now I will hand over my prefect seal to him in front of you! Then I will take the prison cart and apologize to General Cuan Gu, the commander of the Han army. From now on, the county Magistrate Su will take over Jiangzhou City. You must obey his orders and command!"

After shouting, Hu Zhi snatched the plate with a large seal, knelt down on his knees and presented the prefect's seal to the county magistrate Su, and said loudly: "Mr. Su, the people of the whole city of Jiangzhou, please give it to you! Please be sure to take good care of them, don't let them be hungry, and don't treat them as human beings like me!"

"Brother Hu, don't worry!" County Magistrate Su took the seal without hesitation, then turned to the military and civilians of Jiangzhou and shouted: "Soldiers, people, I now announce as the acting prefect of Jiangzhou, Dahan. When our great Han army arrives, each of you will reward at least one can! Also, Jiangzhou is exempted from one year of taxes and corvee, so that you can rest and live a peaceful life!"

"Thank you Suming Mansion!"

The military and civilians in Jiangzhou yelled excitedly, and then many people shouted with concern: "Su Ming Mansion, don't kill Hu Ming Mansion. He has done a lot of bad things before, but this time he really saved us!"

"Don't worry." County Chief Su shouted again: "I can guarantee that when we arrive in our Han army, we will definitely be treated well! If our Han army treats Hu in bad terms, you will peel and cramp your official position to avenge the prefect Hu!"

The people cheered excitedly, but Hu Zhi pushed away the personal soldiers who came to support him, held his head up and got into the prison car, and then shouted: "Go away and go to Jiangyang! I am going to apologize in front of General Cuan! Brother Su, Jiangzhou City will ask you!"

In this way, with the people of Jiangzhou crying farewell, Hu Zhi insisted on boarding the boat heading to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in a prison car, and set out to Jiangyang to apologize to Cuan Gu on the same day. County Chief Su moved into the Jiangzhou Prefect's Mansion in a big seal and immediately ordered the officials and soldiers of Jiangzhou to remove the Jin army flags and set up the red Han army flags. Then many Jiangzhou people did not mention the temple building for Hu Zhi.

Then, it was the next morning that the county magistrate Su, who had been sleeping all night, woke up in the room left by Hu Zhi. Seeing that the environment was unfamiliar, the county magistrate Su, who had just woken up from the hangover, shouted: "Wang Fu, Wang Fu, where are you going to die? Where is this? Why is this official here? What happened? Oh, I have a headache. How much wine did I drink yesterday?"

That's not all. After Wang Fu entered the room and told County Magistrate Su that he saw in the vegetable market yesterday, County Magistrate Su also picked up his pillow and smashed it directly at Wang Fu, roaring: "Fart! Who is Hu Zhi? How could he apologize to the people in public? How could he give me the seal of the prefect of Jiangzhou in public? He also took a prison car to apologize to Cuan Gupifu? Are you drunk and not awake, and you both talk in your sleep and drink?"

"Monkey King, it's true. How dare the villain joke with you for such a big thing?" Wang Fu explained aggrievedly, and pointed to the seal on the head of the bed and said, "If you don't believe me, look, Hu Zhi's seal is here. Isn't this fake?"

He quickly picked up the seal and looked through it. Seeing that the seal was indeed the Jiangzhou Prefect's Seal issued by the Jin court, County Magistrate Su was of course very dumbfounded. After a while, he pinched his thighs heavily and screamed: "I am not dreaming, aren't I?"

…………

"I'm not dreaming, aren't I?"

At the same time, Hu Zhi, who was drinking far more than County Magistrate Su, was also pinching his thighs. He didn't understand why he appeared on the boat, nor did he understand why he was sitting in the prison car. He quickly called his personal soldiers to come and ask why. After learning the specific incident, Hu Zhi's mouth suddenly opened and almost dislocated. After a while, he roared: "I'm fooled! I'm fooled! That ordinary man Su Ding was so despicable that he deliberately got me drunk, tricked me into announcing my surrender, and handed him the seal! I was careless, I was too careless, how could I be fooled like this?"

"Hurry up, let me out." Hu Zhi quickly ordered: "Change the boat and go back to settle the score with Su Ding!"

"Ming Mansion, it's too late to go back now?" said the captain of the personal soldiers with a sad face: "When you announced your surrender yesterday, countless soldiers of the people knelt down to thank you, and they kept crying and sent you to the dock. If you decide to fight now, they may not listen to you."

After carefully understanding the details of yesterday and knowing what he said and did after getting drunk, Hu Zhi fell into deep thought. Then he thought carefully for a long time. Hu Zhi, who had already walked out of the prison car, took the initiative to go back to the prison car and ordered: "Continue to go to Jiangyang."

"Mingfu, have you decided to continue surrendering?" the captain of the personal soldiers asked carefully.
