Huang Quan was the Xichuan general who was focused on surrendering this time. This was decided by Sun Quan after careful consideration.

Among the local officials in Xichuan, Huang Quan can be said to be a model of loyalty to the emperor!

When Liu Zhang asked Liu Bei to come to Sichuan to resist Zhang Lu, Huang Quan firmly opposed it. He was even demoted by Liu Zhang and sent to Guanghan, but he still did not change his original intention.

After Liu Bei occupied Xichuan, major families surrendered. Huang Quan did not change his family, but chose to abandon his official position and return to his country and work at home.

Huang Quan was a planner and loyal person. He was not the kind of foolish and loyal person who knew how to choose the good and follow it.

When Liu Bei came to the door in person and sincerely asked him to come out, he accepted it calmly and was able to plan for Liu Bei wholeheartedly.

What's even more rare is that Huang Quan is very talented, especially with extraordinary strategic vision.

Liu Bei's ability to successfully defeat Cao Cao with his weak forces had a lot to do with Huang Quan's suggestion to capture Hanzhong and his early plans in Brazil.

During Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition, Huang Quan was an opposing official representative, but he did not drag him down because of his opposition to the Eastern Expedition.

When Liu Bei insisted on the Eastern Expedition, he did his best to make suggestions.

Huang Quan was the only general who opposed Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition and participated in the Eastern Expedition. Even veterans such as Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun were excluded from the Eastern Expedition list by Liu Bei, which shows Liu Bei's high recognition of Huang Quan's character.

The most important thing is that Huang Quan led his army to take on the important task of preventing Cao Pi's attack. He was alone in Jiangbei and could easily be cut off from his way back.

Huang Quan was highly valued by Liu Zhang and Liu Bei, the two lords of Xichuan. He had many disciples and former officials in Xichuan, colleagues and friends, and had a great influence in Xichuan.

Although Jingzhou has not yet settled down, Sun Quan did not mind making preparations for the attack on Xichuan.

Once Huang Quan truly surrenders to Sun Quan, it will undoubtedly be an important help from Sun Quan to seek Xichuan.

Therefore, Sun Quan asked Han Dang to lead his troops and used both soft and hard skills to force Huang Quan to surrender.

Sun Quan specially named Han Qian, not only Han was brave in fighting, but also because he was the only remaining long-established general of the Jiangdong Army and had a high status in the Jiangdong Army.

He came forward to defeat and surrender Huang Quan, which could be said to give Huang Quan enough face.

Sun Quan was thoughtful and his arrangements were quite appropriate and he deserved success.

But Han Dang and Zhou Tai are worthy of being in distress. When they led their troops to defeat Liu Bei, Zhou Tai was disguised by Shamoko and returned to Jiangling, Han Dang failed to succeed.

Although Huang Quan was alone in guarding Jiangbei, he built many watchtowers on high places, not only could he have a clear view of the situation in the Jiangbei Plain, but also had a clear view of the situation in Jiangnan.

Liu Bei's three horse camps were burned continuously, which was particularly eye-catching in the darkness. Huang Quan's observation post had long discovered an abnormality.

Originally, Huang Quan could have returned to Jiangnan as soon as possible.

But he did not receive Liu Bei's order and did not dare to leave the position without authorization. When he discovered that Liu Bei's more than 40 camps had caught fire everywhere, it was too late to retreat. Zhu Ran's navy had already isolated his way back to Jiangnan.

Huang Quan could not advance or retreat, but he could not sit still and wait for death.

He was not a person who was afraid of death. He originally wanted to lead his army to fight to the death in order to repay Liu Bei's kindness for knowing his favor.

However, before Huang Quan's idea was announced, it was rejected by the confidant generals of the Huang family's family in the army.

Nearly two thousand of his 5,000 soldiers and horses were the private troops of the Huang family.

Most of the grassroots generals who led the troops were young heroes from the Huang family.

If Huang Quan led these 5,000 people to fight to the death, the loss would not be Huang Quan himself, and the young hero of the Huang family would not be spared.

Even the Huang family in Xichuan, which is full of talents, cannot afford such a huge loss.

If the Huang family's vitality is severely damaged, they will no longer have the atmosphere of aristocratic families, and they may even be hurt by other families and become third-rate families.

At that time, the living conditions were not good, and they lived together in the form of a family. In the process of cultivating talents, the aristocratic families instilled the concept of family interests first, and Huang Quan was naturally no exception.

Of course, he could not let the family fall into trouble, so he agreed to the suggestion of surrender by his subordinates.

However, when choosing a target for surrender, Huang Quan disagrees with all his opinions and opposes the surrender of Sun Quan, who wants to fight against the enemy, and strongly advocates surrendering to Cao Pi.

While Han Dang was still burning the camp, Huang Quan had already led his troops to leave the camp and went to Xiangyang to surrender to Cao Pi.

In order not to arouse the alertness of the Jiangdong Army, Huang Quan quietly left the military camp in the dark, leaving only an empty camp.

After Han Dang crossed the river, he quietly surrounded Huang Quan's camp.

Most of the day later, there was no movement in Huang Quan's military camp.

Han Dang was also a little suspicious, so he sent someone to check it out and found that it was an empty camp.

Although Han Dang's face was not good, he could only report it truthfully.

Sun Quan's wishful thinking failed, which also dispelled his idea of ​​attacking Xichuan in one go.

Huang Quan’s camp, whether it is the location selection or the layout of the camp itself, is very appropriate, and there are also a lot of food, grass and military resources.

Although Han Dang did not stop Huang Quan, he also got a complete camp and simply stationed in this camp to monitor the movements of Cao Pi's army instead of Huang Quan.

...

...

Liu Bei's camp was in flames, and Zhang Bao and Guan Xing were not around. Liu Bei was unable to protect himself, but he had no time to take care of other officials.

The civil servants under him all have their own private guards, and they can still protect themselves when they retreat together.

Cheng Ji, a key official who supported Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition, was therefore appointed by Liu Bei as the chief adviser of this Eastern Expedition.

After being appreciated by Liu Bei, Cheng Ji tried his best to make suggestions. Now he is facing a crisis, so he naturally cannot leave.

Cheng Ji pondered for a while and believed that after Liu Bei retreated, he would definitely gather his troops in Ma'anshan to fight again.

At this time, fires broke out everywhere, and more than 40 land camps were gone, and only the water army camps could be safe.

Because the Jiangdong naval army was constantly harassed, Wu Ban was cautious and cautious, with strict defense, so he would definitely not be burned by the camp robbery.

Cheng Ji made up his mind and led his guards to the naval camp, preparing to join Wu Ban to lead the naval army to protect Liu Bei.

Who knew that because the journey was not familiar, when Cheng Ji arrived at the Shuizhai, Wu Ban and Chen Dao had already led their troops to leave.

Although Zhu Ran also led the main force to intercept Liu Bei, before he left, he had already discovered that Wu Ban's water camp was an empty camp, so he sent troops to occupy it.

Zhu Ran also ordered the army to be moved to Wu Ban's camp, ready to pick up friendly troops on the shore, and intercept Liu Bei's defeated soldiers.

Cheng Ji had only dozens of men under his command, but his armor and flags were clearly distinguished. The Jiangdong army in the village could recognize it as Liu Bei's army at a glance and forced Cheng Ji from three sides.

Seeing that it was irresistible, Cheng Fei, the captain of Cheng Ji, shouted loudly:

"The Jiangdong Army has occupied the water camp. I will block the pursuers. Cheng Jijiu will leave quickly!"
