Iron Dynasty

Chapter 697: Exhort

The rushing water waves in the river slapped against the hull of the warship, making a "boom boom" sound, splashing water from time to time leaving water stains on the deck.

The third prince Xiao Zhen stood on the deck, letting Jiang Feng raise his robe.

After Chang'an was captured, he went to Shu and was put on the agenda. When Niu Ben led the army back, he led 20,000 horses to Shu.

As Xiao Ming said to him at the beginning, if the king of Shu cannot be persuaded to surrender this time, the 20,000 horses will be the king of Hades. If the king of Shu surrenders the rights of the kingdom of Shu, the two of them can still survive and become Xiao Ming's courtier.

"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 end up in the future. We can conquer Liang Di and Zhao Di and deal with this Shu Kingdom. It's easy."

The general who followed Xiao Zhen this time was Di Ying. He was a veteran of the Qingzhou Army. He was also a general named after Lu Fei and Qi Guangyi and others after many battles.

"The emperor did not dare to defy what the emperor said. I only hope that the general will allow me to enter Yizhou City to discuss with the king of Shu. If the king of Shu fails, it will not be too late for the general to attack Chengdu." The three princes felt bitter.

He has already been cut off all the titles, and his identity is just a citizen. If he wants to stay in officialdom, this will be his only chance.

Di Ying looked at Xiao Zhen vigilantly. Before he set off, Niu Ben had reminded him that Xiao Zhen, the third prince, was tricky.

He warned: "Don't do tricks, otherwise the general will carry you and the king of Shu back."

The third prince nodded quickly.

This time, in order to regain the vassal state, Xiao Ming sent ten warships to Shu with Di Ying, but the fleet was very difficult.

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

Entering the South River from the main channel of the Yangtze River, the battleship gradually arrived under Chengdu.

This South River is the moat of Yizhou. It is precisely because of the protection of this river that King Shu could withstand the attack of King Zhao until King Zhao was destroyed.

Before the warship arrived, Xiao Ming had already sent a post from the land to Yizhou City. Now that the warship arrived under the city, the general defending the city immediately notified King Shu.

"The eldest brother is here?" In the main hall of the Shu Palace, the Shu King, who learned that the three princes had arrived, showed joy.

Your Majesty, the Yizhou wealthy family who was having a banquet, heard the news and immediately began to whisper.

At this time, the king of Shu looked at a group of wealthy people, with excitement in his words, he said: "The third brother of this king is resourceful, and with his help, this kingdom of Shu will become more stable."

A wealthy family heard the words and said: "His Royal Highness, the imperial decree of the past few days said that his Royal Highness should return. These three princes must have come as lobbyists. How could he leave Yizhou?"

King Shu shook his head, and he said; "You have misunderstood this king's eldest brother. He must have done it deliberately to deceive Xiao Ming. He knows that this king and Xiao Ming don't share the same sky, so how can he go? How about helping Xiao Ming?"

Another rich family said: "His Royal Highness Shu, now King Yan, King Liang, King Zhao are all defeated, King Chu, King Huainan, King Yong have all professed to Xiao Ming, and now only the Kingdom of Shu is left alone. I am afraid that we are not Xiao Ming’s opponents. Instead of doing this, it is better to follow the example of the king of Chu to claim Xiao Ming, who is now the sage.

"Bastard!" King Shu suddenly furious, he said; "Even if this king dies, he will not be a minister to Xiao Ming."

After hearing the words of the rich family below, look at me and I look at you, with some strange light shining in their eyes.

Now that the general situation is over, it is clear that Xiao Ming belongs to the world. Can a small kingdom of Shu stop Xiao Ming's soldiers?

In the past five years, they have gradually had enough of the arrogance and self-serving of the Shu king. For them, this Shu country belongs to their rich family.

The princes above them come and go, but their family has always lived here.

If they were to follow the Shu king this time, they would probably lose their foundation.

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

But even though he thought so in his heart, no one dared to say it face-to-face. The King of Shu still had his own army, and they didn't want to be in trouble at this time.

Seeing that the tycoons stopped talking, King Shu snorted softly, flicked his sleeves and walked out. He was going to see the third prince.

Outside the city, the three princes who got permission to enter the city came to Yizhou City under the protection of two soldiers. Soon after entering Yizhou City, he saw King Shu approaching him.

"Eldest brother." Seeing the three princes, King Shu's face was full of excitement.

The three princes were also slightly moved. He and Shu Wang, a female compatriot, were true brothers among many princes.

Normally, the relationship is also extremely harmonious, and now it is naturally sad when the brothers meet.

"Fifth brother." Xiao Zhen also shouted.

When the king of Shu arrived, he pulled the sleeves of the three princes, "Fool brother has set a banquet for the eldest brother, the eldest brother will go with me now."

The enthusiasm of the king of Shu moved the three princes' heart for a while, but thought of his purpose this time, and there was another sorrow in his heart.

He said: "Fifth brother, I have something to say to you face to face when I came here this time. Only you and me are needed at this banquet."

"The eldest brother always likes to be quiet, and the foolish brother doesn't know that, naturally, it is only you and me at this banquet." King Shu said with a big smile.

Xiao Zhen nodded ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and went to the palace with King Shu.

However, King Shu did not go to the main hall, but took Xiao Zhen to a pavilion under the willow tree in the palace. At this time, a table of food was placed on the stone table of the pavilion.

When the two of them were seated, the King of Shu first said: "This place has left the eldest brother such a resourceful person. If the eldest brother arrives, our country will prosper and prosper."

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Zhen's mouth, and his younger brother's excited look made him more miserable, but there were some things to say, otherwise the city of Yizhou would soon become a ruin.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Zhen said with a serious face: "Fifth brother, I am here to persuade you to surrender by the emperor's will."

King Shu's face changed in an instant. He said, "Eldest brother, this joke is not easy. Xiao Ming and I have always been at odds with each other. If he returns, can he get around me?" "Fifth brother, the emperor's army is outside." , You can come in at any time. Do you think you will have a way to survive? You and Zhao Wang have been fighting for a year. The sergeant is exhausted and the people are dead. Even the firearm that the emperor gave you is now broken. With the supply of shells, what do you use to fight against the army full of firearms outside the city?" The third prince sternly said: "And even if you are willing to fight, how many of the wealthy families in Yizhou will follow you at this time?"
