Yang Guang listened to Chen Shen's words very decisively, there was no room for negotiation, he glanced at Gao Ying, and immediately ordered Li Hun to take people back to Guangzhao Hall and escort Chen Shubao to meet Chen Shen here.

"Your Highness, can you and I speak in another place? Niangniang's body is still in the palace, you and I are standing across the door like this, it seems inappropriate, right? Taking advantage of Li Hun's return to the Guangzhao Hall to escort Chen Shubao, Yang Guang tentatively tried to persuade Chen Shen to leave the main hall and follow him to the side hall to talk.

"Thanks to the king's kindness, this palace has it." Chen Shen stood motionless in the door of the main hall, only hugged his fists at Yang Guang, and replied lightly.

"Doesn't the prince want to see his biological mother?" Gao Ying knew that Chen Shen was born to the noble concubine Zhang Lihua, and she figured out his thoughts, and stepped forward to ask tentatively.

Chen Shen showed maturity and steadiness that did not match his age, and only shook his head and said nothing.

"The prince may not understand, Xiao Wang has a younger brother, the age is similar to His Royal Highness, and now he is out of the town, if His Royal Highness is willing, Xiao Wang can play to his father, please ask His Royal Highness to go to Bingzhou to be with his brother, I think, His Royal Highness and his brother will become good friends." Yang Guang saw that Gao Ying couldn't make a plan, so he had a plan, and persuaded Chen Shendao with a smile.

However, no matter how Yang Guang and Gao Ying seduced and persuaded them, Chen Shen closed his lips tightly and remained silent.

"My son, is that you?" With a heart-rending call, Chen Shubao walked into the courtyard of the East Palace under the escort of Li Hun and others.

Chen Shen heard that it was indeed his father's call, and couldn't help but tremble, facing Chen Shubao, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", looked up at his father, and asked: "Some time ago, my son heard that my father passed an edict and ordered all monks and nuns and Taoist priests in temples and Taoist temples to serve and participate in the defense of the city. The sons and mothers thought that their parents would lead the people to defend the city and share weal and woe with the country, but they did not think that they would be reunited with their father and emperor here today. Now that the queen mother has died and died one step ahead of her father, the son is only willing to walk with her father and mother here, and I hope that my father will not refuse. ”

After that, he respectfully kowtowed three heads to Chen Shubao, suddenly turned around, and crashed into the temple pillar behind him, and in an instant, his head broke and blood flowed, and the body collapsed softly at the foot of the temple pillar.

"Son, it's really painful!" Chen Shubao had a bad premonition, because there were Li Hun and others in front of him, he couldn't step forward to dissuade Chen Shen, and now he saw that his son really hit his head against the pillar and died, he couldn't help screaming, desperately pushed away Li Hun and the sergeants, staggered and ran into the hall, leaned over and picked up Chen Shen, and cried bitterly.

Although Yang Guang and Gao Ying were the victors, they were also stunned by the sudden scene in front of them, and after standing outside the hall for a long time, Fang Ming led the sergeants into the hall, pulled away Chen Shubao, and settled the bodies of the empress Shen and the crown prince Chen Shen, and seven days later, they still buried the mother and son of the martyrs with the etiquette of the queen and the prince.

In order to prevent more princes and relatives of Nanchen in Jiankang City, the civil and military courtiers imitated the empress Shen and the crown prince Chen Shen, and expressed their protest against the Sui Dynasty's attack on Nanchen by committing suicide and martyrdom.

Chen Shubao's edict of surrender was first transmitted to Jingmen in the upper reaches of the river, and he was ordered to rush to the upper reaches to reinforce and block the Sui Dynasty's Western Route Army from flowing downstream, Chen Shushen, the king of Yueyang, the king of Nanchen, the assassin of Xiangzhou, Chen Huiji, the history of Nankangnei, Lu Zhongsu and others were already worried about the difficulty of blocking the repeated attacks of Yang Su's army, and now they saw this edict of surrender, and learned that the emperor Chen Shubao had been a prisoner of the Sui Dynasty, and he had no intention of fighting.

Yang Su led the main fleet of the Western Route Army, through the river near Jingmen, straight to Hankou, and successfully realized the rendezvous with Yang Jun, the king of Qin of the Middle Route Army, and the two armies joined forces, and then followed Yang Guang's general order, with Wang Shiji, the head of the march of the Middle Route Army, as the vanguard general, and launched a fierce attack on Jiujiang, where heavy troops were stationed in Nanchen.

In Jiujiang City, since Chen Shushen was ordered to go to Jingmen to reinforce the upper reaches, the general Zhou Luoyu was temporarily appointed as the chief general of the whole army, leading a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses on land and water to garrison Jiujiang, strictly preventing the Sui army in the middle from breaking through the Jiujiang defense line and attacking the core area of Nan Chen's rule in the lower reaches of the river.

Although Zhou Luoyu is not related to the Nanchen royal family, he was deeply favored by Emperor Chen Xuan in his early years, and he has a more loyal heart to the Nanchen court than Chen Shushen and others, who are close relatives of the imperial family, so since the Sui army crossed the river on the East Road, although Zhou Luoyu has heard about the fall of the imperial capital Jiankang in Jiujiang City, the emperor Chen Shubao has been a prisoner of the Sui army, and the guards of Jingmen upstream have surrendered to the Sui army when they heard the news, and he himself has also received a surrender edict written by Chen Shubao on the order of Yang Guang, but he swore not to surrender. led 80,000 horses and horses to start a fierce battle with Wang Shiji and others.

After Yang Guang heard the news that the Jiujiang Battle launched by the Middle Route Army was blocked in Jiankang, he ordered the Governor of the Water Army to lead the main force of the East Route Army to go up the river and rush to the aid of Jiujiang.

So far, Zhou Luoyu, Xiao Maha, Ren Zhong, and Lu Guangda, the four famous generals of the Southern Chen Xuan Dynasty, were all spared, and they were all prisoners of the Sui Dynasty. Zhou Luo couldn't resist the persuasion of Ren Zhong, Xiao Maha and others, and finally surrendered to the Sui Dynasty.

In this way, as far as the edict of Chen Shubao was transmitted to the prefecture and county, most of the local officials of Nanchen surrendered when they heard the wind, and it took less than three months for Yang Guang and other three-way armies to capture most of the territory of Nanchen since they crossed the river on New Year's Day in the ninth year of Kaihuang.

At the same time, in the two state cities of Southern Yuzhou and Wuzhou, which were guarded by the two clans of Later Liang, Chen Shubao's edict of surrender not only did not play the slightest role, but also caused the two ministers of Southern Chen to transmit the edict were beheaded on the spot by Xiao Yan and Xiao Chen's uncle and nephew, and hung their heads outside the gate, so as to declare their determination not to stand with the Sui Dynasty and resist to the end.

Since the beginning of the Battle of Chen, the two armies of the Sui army, Yan Rong and Yu Wenshu, who had never fought the enemy head-on, will also usher in a good opportunity for them to fight on the battlefield and make contributions.

And on the eve of the start of the Great War of Nanyuzhou between Sui and Chen, a mysterious figure quietly walked into the mansion of Chen Junfan, the Marquis of Yongxin, in Jinling City, which was not far from Nanyuzhou.
