"Lord, now, Xue Yuansi and Cheng Mao have surrendered. Can we enter Jiankang? Wang Mao said to Xiao Yan.

"Good. I can get the country of Qi. No way. Jiankang can't fight yet. Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Lord, are you worried about Chen Bozhi, the assassin of Yuzhou next to Yingzhou? He is also a fierce general. Lord, do you have to surrender him? Wang Mao said.

"He's also the one who heads the rats. I know Chen Bozhi's person. He had no loyalty to Xiao Baojuan. He has only his own interests at heart. Therefore, only by attacking Jiangzhou, he will definitely surrender. Xiao Yan said with a smile.

At this moment, Fan Yun brought a letter.

Xiao Yan opened it and laughed: "Sizhou Assassin King Seng Jing sent his son as a hostage. Sizhou is also ours now. ”

Xiao Yan then led 200,000 troops from Yongzhou, Jingzhou, Yingzhou, Sizhou and other places to surround Jiangzhou.

Xiao Yan said to Su Longzhi: "I will reward you with 1,000 taels of gold now." You go to Jiangzhou immediately and convince your old lord Chen Bozhi to surrender. If it can be successful. And I will reward thee with two thousand taels of gold. Tell Chen Bozhi that as long as he surrenders, I can make him General Anton. ”

"Yes. Lord. Su Longzhi said.

Seeing that Su Longzhi was back, Chen Bozhi asked, "I heard that Yingzhou was captured by the thief Kou Xiaoyan. How did you escape? ”

"My lord. In fact, I have already surrendered to Xiao Yan. Su Longzhi was a little ashamed.

"What? You actually surrendered to Xiao Yan? How can you surrender to the thieves? Chen Bozhi scolded.

"I'm Xiao Yan today, and I'm sent to persuade you to surrender. As long as the lord surrenders, he can be General Anton. Su Longzhi said.

"Can Xiao Yan really let me be General Anton? It's not like I'm incapable of surrendering. The question is: After Xiao Yan settles Xiao Baojuan, will he settle accounts after the autumn? Chen Bozhi said worriedly.

He thought to himself: Xiao Yan is asking for me now, so he has such a low profile. If he calms down Xiao Baojuan, I may not have any good results.

Besides, Xiao Yan also hopes to get my Jiangzhou army to attack Jiankang City.

Xiao Yan is a history of assassination, and I am also a history of assassination. Why should I obey him?

At this moment, the herald came to report: "Lord, Xiao Yan's army has begun to attack the city. If you don't surrender, it's too late. ”

Chen Bozhi said helplessly: "Okay." I give up. ”

Xiao Yan's army soon entered Jiangzhou City.

Xiao Yan said to Chen Bozhi: "Brother Chen, we are all old acquaintances. I hope you can join me in the attack on Jiankang City. Now, I'll promote you to General Zhennan. Your sons can also be promoted to three ranks. ”

"Thank you, Lord. I am willing to join you in the crusade against Xiao Baojuan. Chen Bozhi said.

Let's talk about Xiao Baojuan.

He heard that the Sizhou Assassin Wang Seng Jing and the Yuzhou Assassin Chen Bozhi actually surrendered to Xiao Yan, and scolded: "Is Xiao Yan's side so attractive?" Why do you all like to surrender so much? ”

"Your Majesty, now we can only seize the time to strengthen the city defense of Jiankang City. Otherwise, once Xiao Yan's army comes to the city, it will be troublesome. The eunuch Xiao Fangzi cried.

Xiao Yan's army, all the way east, occupied Wuhu, Jiangning and other places.

The assassins from all over the country surrendered one after another, and the people welcomed Xiao Yan's army.

In October, Zhu Sengyong, the defender of Stone Town, surrendered.

Wang Zhenguo, the assassin of Northern Xuzhou, led a large army to continue to resist at the pontoon bridge.

"Fan Yun, how many people are there in Wang Zhenguo?" Xiao Yan asked.

"One hundred and fifty thousand. We can flatten them. Fan Yun said.

"Okay, let Cao Jingzong and Wang Mao fight. This is the last army of the enemy. Annihilate them, and we can get Jiankang City. Xiao Yan roared.

Cao Jingzong roared: "Soldiers, this is Xiao Baojuan's last army. Defeat them, and we'll be able to party in Jiankang City. ”

So, the Yongzhou army beat the drums of war.

In the midst of the loud rumbling noise, the Yongzhou army began to attack.

The soldiers shouted: "Kill ......"

The Yongzhou army stabbed at the Qi army in a row with spears.

The sound of stabbing is endless.

After a while, the corpses of the Qi soldiers were piled up higher than the pontoon bridge.

The Qi army was routed.

Wang Zhenguo, the assassin of Northern Xuzhou, fled.

Cao Jingzong captured Shi Huanhe, the assassin of Qingzhou, and said to him: "Now Xiao Baojuan is about to finish. Are you willing to surrender to our Yongzhou army? ”

"Yes. I can surrender. Lord Xiao Yan, a hundred battles are victorious, and he is powerful in the world. Xiao Baojuan, the faint monarch, has lost the hearts of the people. Huan He said.

"Good. In this case, you should immediately write a letter to persuade the defenders of Jingkou to surrender. Today, the defenders on the periphery of Jiankang City are only Zuo Shengqing in Jingkou who has not surrendered. Cao Jingzong said with a smile.

"Yes." Huan He then picked up the brush and began to write.

Zuo Shengqing in Jingkou received Huan He's letter and said with a smile: "Now that Xiao Yan has pacified Xiao Baojuan, it is already a sure thing. Let's all surrender to the Yongzhou army. ”

The soldiers cheered: "Good ......"

In this way, all the cities on the periphery of Jiankang City have surrendered to Xiao Yan.

The end of Xiao Baojuan is coming.

Xiao Baojuan said to the noble concubine Pan Yunu: "My ministers are all rudder when they see the wind, and when they see Xiao Yan gaining power, they surrender one after another. Don't they have a little bit of discipline? ”

"Your Majesty, everything is already doomed. Xiao Yan will inevitably seize Jiankang City. Pan Yunu cried.

"I'm going to be here, see what Xiao Yan can do to me. If Xiao Yan kills me, he will kill the king. will be scolded by the history books. Xiao Baojuan scolded.

"Your Majesty, you can only take refuge in the Wei State. Wei will definitely take you in. Pan Yunu said.

"No need. Can't get out. Xiao Yan has always been tightly defended. I have already written the edict. Now Xiao Baoyin, the king of Jian'an, is in the Wei State. I can pass on to him. I hope he can kill back to Qi and avenge me. Xiao Baojuan took out an edict and gave it to the eunuch Xiao Fangzi.

"Your Majesty, there is still a chance. Why do you do that? Pan Yunu cried.

"I'm done. Xiao Yan will definitely seize the throne of the Qi State. I will be the king of the dead country. Let's go, all of you. Xiao Yan will definitely reward you. Pan Yuer, you have to live well. I don't want you to die. Xiao Baojuan cried.

Pan Yu'er hugged Xiao Baojuan and cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine can die with you." ”

"Don't. You can surrender Xiao Yan. Surrender Xiao Yan, you can still live. You don't need to die with me. Xiao Baojuan cried.

"Nope. Your Majesty, I will die with you. Pan Yunu cried.

At this moment, the maid Xiao Wu suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, it's not good." Wu Shuyuan had an accident. ”

"What's wrong with her?" Xiao Baojuan asked.

"The mother fainted. The Imperial Physician has just passed. Xiao Wu said.

Xiao Baojuan ran over in a panic.

When he saw Wu Shuyuan, his face was haggard, like a withered peony.

"Doctor Tai, what's wrong with Wu Shuyuan?" Xiao Baojuan said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the mother is happy. It's been three months. The Imperial Doctor said.

Xiao Baojuan thought to himself: This kid is really not the right time to come.
