After the city was broken, Xiao Yuan did not chase and kill those people who fled for their lives, he wanted to pass through Zitong, and now that the goal of the city has been achieved, there is naturally no need to kill again.

Then he also went up to the city.

At this time, Zhang Jingrui was surrounded by the Qin army, and when people saw Xiao Yuan, they naturally gave way, and at the same time, they all shouted: "Lord!" ”

Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly to signal that everyone didn't need to be polite, and then walked into the arena and raised his eyes to look at Zhang Jingrui.

The latter, who was about thirty years old, dressed as a standard ancient civil official, had a well-groomed beard on his chin.

He was holding a sword, and he was still muttering to himself: "It's over, Zitong is over, Yizhou is over......"

Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, and said loudly: "Lord Zhang, this official can make an exception for you, if you kneel down and surrender now, this Zitong County Guard is still yours." ”

This condition can be said to be extremely tempting, because now it is not that the city has not been broken, but it has already been attacked, and if Zhang Jingrui does not agree, I am afraid that he will die immediately.

On the one hand, there is death, and on the other hand, there are high-ranking officials, glory and wealth, which is a very simple option.

But when Zhang Jingrui heard this, he suddenly looked at Xiao Yuan and sneered: "You can't be humiliated!" Xiao thief! Now Zitong is captured by you, and this official, as a county guard, has lived and died with this city! ”

As he spoke, he did not pause, and directly raised his sword to his neck, trying to kill himself to make his will clear.

"Stop him!"

But Xiao Yuan had already stopped shouting when his words fell, and the soldiers on both sides immediately stepped forward and pressed Zhang Jingrui to the ground.

"Thief! Traitor! Zhang Jingrui was restrained, but he still turned his head and scolded Xiao Yuan.

"Bold Dog Officer!" When Xu Hu saw this, he immediately stared.

"Huh?" Xiao Yuan waved his hand, and then stopped talking nonsense with Zhang Jingrui, but directly ordered: "Hold it down and take strict care!" ”

"No!" The soldier was commanded.

Zhang Jingrui was taken away, but he was still shouting there: "Traitor! Quick-action knives! This official can be killed, but not humiliated—"

He thought that Xiao Yuan was going to torture and humiliate him, but the latter didn't mean that.

After Zitong's side broke through, Xiao Yuan did not pause for a moment, and directly led the army to Yizhou.

Zhang Jingrui wanted to buy time for Yizhou, but he had done his best, and when the Qin army arrived outside Yizhou, Chen Tai led 40,000 Shu troops, and there were still two days away from Yizhou.

At this time, Su Yi began to suggest to Xiao Yuan that since he had arrived in Yizhou first, there was no need to rush to attack the city, and he could use Yizhou to annihilate Chen Tai first.

He said: "At the beginning, Chen Tai sent troops to try to use Rongcheng to implement the strategy of besieging the city to help, and now, we can also use Yizhou as bait, this place is the capital of Sichuan and Shu, and the lord of Shu is even more among them, and Chen Tai can be saved if he is not saved." ”

His suggestion is undoubtedly the best plan, because Yizhou is too big and the city defense is solid, and within two days, it will definitely not be able to be attacked, and then Chen Tai's support will arrive again, and the Qin army will be attacked from the back.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan immediately adopted his advice, did not attack Yizhou for the time being, but made a certain encirclement, and then set up ambushes on several important roads.

Chen Tai is a Shu general, the lord of Shu is trapped in Yizhou, and he urgently needs support, he has no choice but to march desperately, and it is a matter of time before he is ambushed.

It's like knowing that there might be a fire pit ahead, and you have to jump, and you can't jump if you don't!

Needless to say, Chen Tai was embarrassed by the ambush, and after he hastily withdrew his troops, he temporarily camped dozens of miles outside Yizhou.

The front is Yizhou, but he can't go back, Chen Tai's mood can be imagined, his face is full of anxiety, pacing back and forth, and he can't stop saying: "How is this good, how is it good......

The other Shu generals in the tent also lost their voices, and their heads lowered slightly, the situation is very clear, it is okay to save Yizhou, then it must be ambushed by the Qin army, at that time, Chen Tai does not know how many casualties will be suffered.

On his side, there was a situation where neither advance nor retreat, while Yizhou's side had already exploded.

The Great Hall of the Day.

Shu Lord Huang Songyuan was already panicked, he was in the main position directly above, looking back and forth at the courtiers below, and couldn't help asking: "Now that the Qin army has come to the city, it will attack my Yizhou at any time, what can I do!" What to do! ”

The officials below all bowed their heads slightly, and no one dared to speak.

Seeing this situation, Huang Songyuan panicked even more: "You can't usually speak well!" Now it's talking! ”

When the people heard this, they all lowered their heads and looked at each other, but in the end, an official stood up and said:

"Lord, Qin Lord Xiao Yuan, the army is besieging the city, Yizhou is in danger, but General Chen Tai's return to aid is blocked, and he can't advance half a step, with the existing strength of Yizhou, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on any longer......"

"This, this ......" Hearing this, Huang Songyuan suddenly became more nervous, and he glanced left and right, and hurriedly asked, "What about the countermeasures!" What about countermeasures! Who can save me! Who can save me! ”

His appearance vividly shows greed for life and fear of death, helplessness, and lack of assertiveness.

Seeing this, the official swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "My lord, in the current situation, it is better to ...... the opinion of the lower officials It's better to open the city and surrender. ”

"What did you say!?" Hearing this for the first time, Huang Songyuan naturally couldn't help but stand up.

The official was bold enough to say, seeing that there were signs of anger, he couldn't help but quickly kneel on the ground in fear, and said: "Lord, Lian Xiao has rebelled, Chen Tai can't rescue, and now there are only 10,000 troops who can defend Yizhou, if they fight to the death, they will still die, but if the city is opened, the Lord of Qin will definitely treat the lord well, and this can ensure that Yizhou is safe......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other officials also knelt on the ground and echoed: "Yes, my lord, only by asking for surrender can we protect the peace of Yizhou and the peace of Sichuan and Shu......"

"Think twice about ...... lord"

From the scene situation, it is not difficult to see that the lord of Shu is dark.

The reason why these officials are like this is inseparable from Yong'an's surrender, in their opinion, if they surrender, they may be the same as Li Minggui, their official positions can still be kept, no matter how bad they are, they can save their lives, but once they don't surrender, when Xiao Yuan comes in, they still have their lives.

The officials are afraid of death, which is inseparable from Huang Songyuan's governance.

There are actually a lot of talented people in Shu, but under this kind of mediocre master, how can those talented people be born.

In the main hall, an official knelt on the ground, and Huang Songyuan's eyes widened.

"Surrender? Can you surrender, can this official still live......"

He muttered to himself, and sat back in despair.

At this moment, Fu De, who had not spoken, stood up and said in a straight voice:

"Lord, these people are officials in my Shuzhong, but they are greedy for life and afraid of death! They descend, but they would rather die than descend! ”
