Long Liren was like a beast trapped in a cage, extremely anxious in the room, his expression and aura made the servants and others serving next to him dare not even breathe, for fear that he would provoke the anger of the patriarch.

It wasn't until the closed hall door was pushed open that Long Liren's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes quickly turned over, and then he saw his most trusted brother Long Lixiao striding in.

He hurriedly asked, "How's it going?" Can the rebellion in Shanbei and Changfeng counties be suppressed? ”

In this season near the end of the year, Qianzhou is already full of flames and rebellions.

Although the reaction of the Long clan was fast enough, as long as there was a mess, their men and horses would quickly rush to quell the rebellion, but after all, this only treated the symptoms but not the root cause. In the end, even the two county towns under the jurisdiction of Longzhou rebelled, which naturally made Long Liren very angry and worried.

Long Lixiao's expression was also quite heavy, but he still smiled reluctantly and said: "Brother, rest assured, the rebellion in those two counties has been quickly suppressed, and the few guys led by them have also been killed on the spot, and the heads of the owls have been shown to the public." ”

"Good! You've all worked hard......" Long Liren showed a smile at this time, and just wanted to say something, but when he saw the other party's solemn expression, he looked like he still had something to say, so he also smiled and said, "There are still questions?" ”

"Brother, the current situation in our Qianzhou is very bad......

"I know what you want to say, yes, now our food is not enough, and we can't even survive this winter, and many people want to surrender to Sichuan and Shu in order to save their lives......

"But have you ever thought about it, even if we surrender now, can we really keep my Long family? I'm afraid that at that time, other people may still have a way to live, but our Long family will definitely be a dead end.

"Think about it, how did the tyrant deal with our Kuizhou Panzong, as well as the Tang family in Sichuan and Shu. It was all a merciless slaughter!

"In order to make my Long family bow his head, this tyrant even did not hesitate to put hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Qianzhou to death, what do you say will happen to such a person if we surrender at this time?"

Here are all his own people in the Long family, so Long Liren no longer insists on saying any big truths, and directly says his biggest scruples.

It can be said that now, others may still have a choice, but no matter how he goes, the Long family is a dead end!

Even in his tone, there was already some regret, he knew that this was the result, and he shouldn't have held on that day......

Long Lixiao listened quietly and did not make any doubts, until his brother finished speaking, he smiled bitterly: "Brother, we can't hold on anymore, we won't be able to last next year."

"Do you know what the rebellious leaders do? That's why they choose to take risks, and they can't survive on the one hand, and on the other hand, there are people who have been inducing and bewitching them to make trouble!

"And as far as they know, such people have spread all over my Qianzhou, and there are even people who will instruct them on how to attack the official government is the most effective."

Long Liren's expression changed again, and he naturally grasped the key point at once: "You mean, this is the people of Sichuan and Shu secretly plotting and instructing them to make trouble?" ”

"Yes, in fact, the people over there have already secretly entered when they blocked the roads leading to the outside of my Qianzhou.

"It's just that I haven't had internal chaos before, so they can't succeed. But with the food shortages and many people starving, their demagoguery became natural.

"Brother, I'm worried that this is just the beginning. A few of the people rebelled and returned, but if some of our army were instigated by them, the consequences would be serious.

"Also, now that there is chaos in the county seat under the jurisdiction of Longzhou, what about my Longzhou City, is there the same hidden danger? If they take advantage of our laxity, it will be a real danger......"

These words made Long Liren's whole body tremble, and his heart was both angry and deeply afraid.

He really didn't expect the imperial court to be so vicious, so devastating, and would actually use such a method of demagoguery and rebellion.

But thinking about what he had heard about the civil strife in the Duan family before, he was relieved......

No, he's even more upset!

The Duan family will do cannibalism and change the patriarch due to the instigation of the people of the imperial court, so will there be no such situation in his Long family?

Maybe the former Long family was really monolithic, and it was not something that the imperial court could rebel against with a few words, but now?

Now that ordinary people can't even eat enough, everyone in the Long family is in danger, and if someone instigates it, it will be difficult to ensure that those relatives of the Long family under him are not moved and come to replace them.

"Brother, now we have no choice......" Long Lixiao looked at Long Liren helplessly, only hoping that he could see the reality clearly.

From the moment the Long family decided to confront the imperial court, everything was doomed.

"Surrender and let it fall......" The flesh on Long Liren's cheeks began to tremble, full of entanglement.

But after a period of deliberation, he couldn't think of a better way.

If you continue to hold on, you can drag on for two more days, but what is the result?

I am afraid that I will be besieged by the soldiers and civilians who are full of food and fear because they have not enough to eat, and finally all the people will betray their relatives and die on the spot.

At this time, if you return to the imperial court, there may still be a glimmer of life, although most of them are still a dead end, but at least they will die with more dignity.

And for the entire Long family, maybe some people can be left behind to assist the imperial court in controlling Qianzhou?

Before, he only thought about dying, and he could still convince himself with the worst intentions; And now, having completely changed his mind, he can only hope for the mercy of the imperial court.

Finally, after a long silence, he slowly raised his head and said in the softest voice, "Surrender." Gather all the people of the Long family, and I will announce this decision to them......"

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, when this decision was announced in public by Long Liren, the head of the Long family, the entire Long family breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, they had long been fed up with the current situation of fear and had long wanted to surrender to the imperial court.

Subsequently, the Long family sent an envoy to the blockade area at the junction of Qianzhou and Sichuan and Shu, and sent the fact that they were willing to surrender and surrender.

Then this meaning was quickly transmitted back to Yuzhou, which was the fifth day of the first month of the new year.

Knowing that this matter finally had a result, all the officers and soldiers in Yuzhou City were very excited!

Finally, after nearly half a year of blockade of Qianzhou, the strategic purpose against Qianzhou was successful.

And this also means that the great goal of unifying the southwest will eventually be achieved.

The first step to rejuvenate Dayue, the Southwest Raiders, has been officially achieved!

At such an important and gratifying moment, there was only one thing that made everyone feel a little embarrassed and annoyed, and that was that His Majesty the Emperor, who should have enjoyed the fruits of all these victories at this time, was not present.

Sun Ning, not only is he not in Yuzhou, or even in Sichuan, but as early as a few months ago, he left Sichuanshu and went to Jiangnan......
