The surging water waves in the river beat the hull of the warship, making a sound of "Dong Dong". The splashing water left water stains on the deck from time to time.

The third prince, Xiao Zhen, stood on the deck and let the river wind lift his robes.

After Chang'an was captured, he was put on the agenda to go to Shu. When Niu Zhen led his army back, he led 20000 people to Shu.

As Xiao Ming told him at the beginning, if the king of Shu could not be persuaded to surrender this time, these 20000 people would be the king of hell. If the king of Shu handed over the power of Shu, they would still have their lives and become Xiao Ming's ministers.

"Xiao Zhen, the city of Yizhou is in front of you. Don't forget the emperor's will. Even if you play tricks now, you will inevitably die in the future. We can take down Liang Di and Zhao Di and deal with Shu easily."

This time, the general who followed Xiao Zhen was di Ying. He was a veteran of Qingzhou army. After Lu Fei, he was as famous as Qi Guangyi and others.

"Naturally, the grassroots dare not disobey the emperor's words. I only hope that the general will allow me to enter Yizhou city and discuss with the king of Shu. If the king of Shu does not follow, it will not be too late for the general to attack Chengdu again." The third prince felt bitter.

Now he has already been stripped of all the titles, and his status is just a common people. If he wants to stay in officialdom, this will be his only chance.

Di Ying looks at Xiao Zhen warily. Before leaving, Niu Zhen once reminded him that Xiao Zhen, the third prince, is resourceful.

He warned, "don't play tricks, or I will go back with the heads of you and the king of Shu. "

the third prince nodded.

This time, in order to recover the kingdom of Shu, Xiao Ming sent ten warships to enter Shu with di Ying, but it was very difficult for the fleet along the way.

Because it was against the current, in some places where the current was fast, they had to use the trackers to pull the warship forward.

From the main channel of the Yangtze River into the South River, warships gradually arrived at Yizhou city.

Because of the protection of this river, the king of Shu was able to resist the attack of the king of Zhao until he was destroyed.

Before the arrival of the warship, Xiao Ming had already sent a courier to deliver the will to Yizhou city by land. Now that the warship arrived at the foot of the city, the general guarding the city immediately went to inform the king of Shu.

"The eldest brother is here?" in the main hall of King Shu's mansion, the king of Shu's face looks happy when he learns that the third prince has arrived.

His highness, the Yizhou family, who are having a banquet, immediately whispered the news.

At this time, the king of Shu looked at a group of powerful families, and his words were excited. He said, "the third elder brother is resourceful and resourceful. With his help, the kingdom of Shu will become more and more stable."

A rich family heard the words and said: "Your Highness, the imperial edict a few days ago is to let your highness surrender. These three princes must also be lobbyists. How can he stay in Yizhou?"

The king of Shu shook his head, and he said, "you're wrong about this elder brother of the king. He must have done it deliberately to deceive Xiao Ming. He knows that the king and Xiao Ming don't live together, so how can he help Xiao Ming? "

another powerful family said:" Your Highness, King Yan, King Liang and King Zhao are all defeated. King Chu, King Huainan and King Yong all submit to Xiao Ming. Now only the kingdom of Shu is left. I'm afraid we are not Xiao Ming's rivals. Instead, we should follow the example of King Chu to submit to Xiao Ming, that is, to present-day saints. "

" asshole! " The king of Shu suddenly became very angry, and he said, "even if I die, I will not submit to Xiao Ming. "

the following aristocrats smell words, you look at me, I look at you, there are some strange lights in their eyes.

Now that the situation is over, it is clear that it is Xiao Ming who owns the world. Can a small kingdom of Shu resist Xiao Ming's troops?

Five years ago, they were fed up with the arrogance and headstrong of the king of Shu. To them, the kingdom of Shu belonged to these powerful families.

The vassals on their heads came and went, but their family lived here all the time.

If they follow the king of Shu this time, they will lose their foundation.

The king of Shu wanted to die, but they didn't want to die with him. Now that the world is unified, who is going to rebel.

However, no one dares to say that the king of Shu still has an army of his own. They don't want to be unlucky at this time.

Seeing that the aristocrats no longer spoke, the king of Shu snorted and walked out. He wanted to see the third prince.

Outside the city, the third prince who got permission to enter the city came to Yizhou City under the protection of two soldiers. Soon after entering Yizhou City, he saw the king of Shu greet him.

"Elder brother." Seeing the third prince, the king of Shu was full of excitement.

The third prince was also slightly moved. He and his mother, the king of Shu, were real brothers among many princes.

In ordinary times, the relationship is also very harmonious. Now it's sad for the brothers to meet each other.

"Five younger brothers. "Xiao Zhen also called.

When the king of Shu came near, he held the third prince's sleeve. "I've already set a banquet for my eldest brother. My eldest brother will go with me now."

The third prince was moved by the king's enthusiasm, but he felt sad when he thought about the purpose of his visit.He said: "five younger brother, this time I came here to say something to you face to face. At the banquet, you and I just need to be there."

"The elder brother always likes quietness, but I don't know. It's just you and me at the banquet." The king of Shu said with a laugh.

Xiao Zhen nodded and followed the king of Shu to the palace.

However, instead of going to the main hall, the king of Shu took Xiao Zhen to a pavilion under the willows in the palace. At this time, a table of food had been set on the stone table in the pavilion.

When they were seated, the king of Shu first said, "this is the place where the elder brother is so resourceful. If the elder brother comes, the kingdom of Shu will surely prosper. "

Xiao Zhen showed a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth. His younger brother's excited look made him more and more miserable, but he had to say something, otherwise this Yizhou city will soon become a ruin.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Zhen said, "to tell you the truth, I have come to persuade you to surrender by the emperor's will. "

the king of Shu's face suddenly changed, and he said," elder brother, this joke can't be joked. Xiao Ming and I have always been incompatible. If we surrender, can he spare me? "

" fifth younger brother, the emperor's army is just outside, and can fight in at any time. Do you think you will have a way to survive at that time? You have been fighting with the king of Zhao for a year, and the soldiers are tired and the feudal people are in dire need. Even if the firearms given by the emperor are cut off, what can you do to fight against the army full of firearms outside the city? " The third prince said harshly: "and even if you are willing to fight, how many of the rich people in Yizhou will follow you at this time?"
