In the king's tent, Liu Yuan was listening to the inferior people's report on the performance of his three sons in the army, and he was able to endure hardships, which made Liu Yuan feel satisfied, as for the rest, it remains to be seen.

"Chi Yi, these three sons, if you choose one of them as the prince, who do you think you should be?" After a while, Liu Yuan suddenly asked.

Su Bu Chiyi was below, and he was immediately startled, and hurriedly got up: "The prince's matter is related to the country, how can the minister say more?" ”

"You didn't answer Lone's question! After being lonely, who can inherit the great cause? ”

"The king is in the prime of spring and autumn, enough to be in charge of the Great Xia for decades, the three princes are still young, the king can continue to observe the sons, why rush to establish an heir?" Su Bu Chiyi still didn't dare to say anything.

Liu Yuan shook his head when he heard this, and chuckled: "Gu Nai is the king immediately, the matter of the battle array, if you can't say it accurately, you will die in battle one day." At that time, if the storage position is not determined, my Xia country will be in chaos! ”

"Don't say that, the king!" Subu Chiyi fell directly to his knees.

"You still haven't come back to the lonely problem!"

"Please let the king decide this matter, the minister doesn't dare to say more!"

"That's it!" Liu Yuan looked at Xu Bu Chiyi playfully, no longer embarrassed him, and ordered him to get up. Xu Bu Chiyi is a smart person, if he really tells a name, he is afraid that Liu Yuan's suspicion will rise.

"The king, Prince Cheng asks to see!" Long said outside the tent.

Liu Yuan's mind moved when he heard this, and when he mentioned the matter of the storage position, this son arrived and ordered: "Let him in!" ”

Liu Cheng stepped into the tent door and glanced around, only Liu Yuan and Xu Bu Chiyi took a few steps forward to bow down to Liu Yuan: "Father!" He got up and saluted to Su Bu Chiyi, and was very respectful.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Enlighten my father, my son's retainers have a leader in the army, and I implore my father to give it to my sons, thinking that he is the chief of the guard!" Liu Cheng made his intentions clear.

"Oh?" Liu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he looked at this son who had always been taciturn, staring at him a little uncomfortable, and said for a long time: "It's lonely!" ”

"Thank you, Father!"

After saying a few words, Liu Cheng retired.

"What do you think of Liu Cheng's request?" Liu Yuan asked Xu Bu Chiyi again.

Su Bu Chiyi frowned, thinking secretly about what happened to the king today, how could he have been difficult for himself all his life. But Liu Yuan asked a question and had to answer, so he had to say: "The battle array is dangerous, and the three princes should be guarded by loyal ministers and warriors!" ”

Liu Yuan seemed to have expected Xu Bu Chiyi's reaction, and he was noncommittal, but there was a thoughtful meaning in his eyes.

On the same day, Liu Yuan gave an order to give each of the three princes 100 elite horsemen to act as guards.

……

In Anyi City, under the strong pressure of Zhang Ji and the three of them, it seems to have settled down a lot. But the tougher the means, the more Dong Jun is strong and capable. Zhang Ji copied some families with strong means, and all the proceeds were rewarded to the soldiers, so as to stabilize the morale of the army a little.

It's just that only Zhang Ji and others know how unreliable today's "stability" is.

"There is no way out, and the future is bleak!" Inside the house, Zhang Ji sighed.

The palace was very empty, and almost all of his trusted soldiers were sent out to inspect the city, thinking that he was overseeing the army. Even if it was a pro-soldier, Zhang Ji could feel the hesitation in their hearts, and Yang Ding's previous words came to mind, or, is it really down?

didn't let Zhang Ji and the others suffer for long, Li Li was ordered to enter the city on this day, and persuaded to surrender. Zhang Ji and the others had a plan, and they didn't do anything stupid to drive or kill, and sent people to respectfully welcome Li Li into the city.

"What do you mean here, sir?" Welcoming Li Li into the mansion, Zhang Ji asked.

"Why does the general knowingly ask?" Li Li looked directly at Zhang Ji's eyes, glanced at Zhang Xiu and Yang Ding next to him, and said to the three of them: "I don't go around in circles below, and I said those negotiation words." Here, I am here to persuade you to surrender to King Xia! ”

"Now that Dong Zhuo has been killed, Guanzhong is in turmoil, you have nothing to rely on in Anyi, a lonely city, facing tens of thousands of Xia troops, relying only on thousands of soldiers in the city, even if it is elite, whether it can be stopped, you also know it in your hearts!" Li Li said in a tone of matter: "You follow Dong Zhuo's troubles and chaos in the court, and you will not be allowed in the world for a long time, and subjugating Daxia is a way out." The meaning of the governor of Subu is that as long as you are willing to surrender, you should be entrusted with the position of general and reused! ”

Zhang Xiu heard that there was some expression, but Zhang Ji and Yang Ding were stable, and Yang Ding said loudly: "Your family has this power? How can I believe that I have to wait? ”

"The King of Xia has personally appointed the governor of the Hedong War with full powers, and the conditions given to you have also been approved by the King of Xia. You have doubts and understand, but Xia Guo is in the process of employing people, and he will pay attention to a few such talents! ”

"Has Prince Xia arrived in Anyi?" Zhang Ji's eyes lit up and asked.

"Don't you know? Some time ago, tens of thousands of Xia rode south, and King Naixia personally led the army! Li Li was puzzled.

Zhang Ji and Yang Ding glanced at each other and stopped talking, they didn't recognize Liu Yuan's Daxu Wang Qi, Liu Yuan came south without much fanfare, and only thought it was an ordinary reinforcement of the Xia army last time.

"How many people know Yan Rou? He was born as a slave of the Hu tribe and was not a scholar in northern Xinjiang, but since he joined the King of Xia, in the past two or three years, he has become the general of the Black Mountain in the title of the King of Xia. Thousands of troops are led, the town guards Taihang, and the marquis is not far away. And the two, it hasn't been long since they followed Dong Zhuo, they still have to be a little captain, and the Dong clan will all be generals and military, are you unwilling in your heart? Li Li told several people a rather "inspirational" story.

There was a flash of color in his eyes, and Zhang Ji muttered in his heart about what Li Li said: "The general of the Xia Kingdom, can he compare with the captain of the Han Dynasty!" ”

No matter what he thought in his heart, he still had to be polite to Li Li, and said to him: "Please, sir, return to King Xia and Governor Subu, let me think about it later!" ”

Li Li's eyelids drooped, and he could already see that Zhang Ji and others had the intention of taking effect. It's just hesitant, or maybe it's still going to hold on, and want some more commitments.

After listening to Li Li's report, Liu Yuan couldn't help sneering a few times, and replied directly: "Give them a day to think about it, and tomorrow at this time, if they don't surrender, they will break the city by force!" ”

"Chi Yi, you go and prepare!"

"No!"

Li Li was not sent into the city again, but only ordered the knight to shoot a letter into the city. Facing Xia Jun, who had changed his attitude, Zhang Ji was a little at a loss, and looked at Yang Ding, but he was still not decisive, and then wait and see, this is their idea.

Regardless of the reaction of Zhang Ji and the others, Subu Chiyi's side methodically dispatched troops and horses to prepare for the siege. Until the second day, there was still more than an hour left before Liu Yuan's mouth, and the Xia army had already gone out of the village and lined up under the command of Xu Bu Chiyi, with siege equipment, rows of strong bows, and clusters of guns.

I didn't have the heart to think about it, and I didn't hesitate much, one word, down.

The city gate was opened, and Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew and Yang Ding went out of the city to surrender and surrendered to Liu Yuan's feet. Zhang Ji and Yang Ding were worshiped as generals and were above the school captain, and Zhang Xiu was awarded the school captain for his bravery.

Thousands of Dong troops were completely dispersed and incorporated into the Xia army to accumulate combat strength, and there was no room for negotiation. Zhang and Yang had the heart to oppose it, but they were powerless to resist, so they only left two or three hundred cronies, and it was not easy to do too much, and then some Baibo soldiers were dispatched to command them to appease.

Anyi was in the pocket unscathed, and it was a happy event that he did not lose many troops. Anyi was taken, and the rest of the counties in Hedong had little ability to resist, and quickly fell under the iron hooves of the Xia army. The bloody wind and rain blew in Hedong, the Xia army was short of food, and Liu Yuan's eyes were on the Haoqiang of the Nagan family early.
