The King of Shu looked at the eldest brother in front of him incredulously, and only then did he notice that the brother he admired and respected before was no longer the high-spirited and domineering prince he used to be.

On the contrary, he saw in his brother the vicissitudes and helplessness of the world.

For a moment he didn't know what to say, and there was a brief silence between the two.

In the end, the third prince broke the silence, and he said: "Fifth brother, this is the last chance for you and me to live, to declare to the emperor that you can still keep the glory and wealth, if you continue to be obsessed, this Yizhou City will change hands tomorrow." ”

The King of Shu's chest rose and fell violently, and he said to the third prince: "Eldest brother, when King Zhao came to attack Shu, the foolish brother did not surrender, how could he choose to surrender at this time?" He, Xiao Ming, wanted to take down the Shu Kingdom, so he stepped over my corpse. “

"Fifth brother!" Xiao Zhen was anxious, one of his wishes to promise Xiao Ming this time was to save the life of the King of Shu, but he underestimated the King of Shu's prejudice against Xiao Ming.

And in the past five years of his career as a vassal king, he has enjoyed a sense of superiority that is self-serving, how can he be willing to hand over the power in his hands now.

"Eldest brother doesn't need to say it anymore, the foolish brother used to listen to you for everything, but this time you can listen to me once." The King of Shu made up his mind the moment he received the order, "This Yizhou City is full of artillery sent by Xiao Ming, and these 20,000 people can't break Yizhou City, and Qingzhou is thousands of miles away from Yizhou, so he will no longer easily send troops after this defeat." ”

The third prince became more and more anxious, and he said: "Confused, you don't know Xiao Ming at all, and you don't know firearms at all, Xiao Ming can't defeat the firearms that his army is using at all." ”

The King of Shu couldn't listen to what the third prince was saying at all, he only remembered the grievances and grievances between himself and Xiao Ming, and firmly believed that Xiao Ming would kill him.

Because of this, he stubbornly refused to surrender, and after Xiao Ming ascended the throne, he was even more panicked.

"The eldest brother doesn't need to persuade him anymore, this table of food is about to be cold, so the foolish brother should accompany the eldest brother to have a few drinks." King Shu said.

The third prince said angrily: "Now is not the time to drink, General Di Ying outside the city only gave me an hour, if there is no result within an hour, his warship will bombard Yizhou City, and it will be too late by then." ”

In the face of his brother's reproach, the king of Shu still shook his head, he can be a minister to anyone, but he will not be a minister to Xiao Ming.

The two of them in Chang'an did not deal with each other, and they had fought several times, and in his opinion, surrendering now is also death, and there will be a glimmer of life in a battle.

Then he got up and said to the palace guards, "Protect the king's brother." “

When the guards heard this, they immediately stood behind the third prince, and the king of Shu continued: "Brother Chang sit, and the foolish brother will come when he goes." ”

The third prince got up and tried to stop him, but the palace guards blocked his way.

At this time, he let out a long sigh, everything Xiao Ming expected today, and it was because of this that he would send 20,000 horses into Shu.

And there is still a team of people in Chang'an, who can support here at any time.

Things had gotten to this point, as if they were out of control, and he sat down in a daze.

On the battleship outside the city, Di Ying had been waiting, and as time passed, his patience was also a little bit of news.

Just as he was hesitating whether to let the battleship bombard Yizhou City, he suddenly saw that there were many more soldiers at the head of Yizhou City, and these soldiers walked to the artillery on the city wall one by one, and the torches in their hands were ready to be lit at any time.

This scene completely made Di Ying give up his illusions, and it was obvious that the King of Shu was now going to resist to the end.

After he consulted with the captain of the battleship, the battleships in the South River immediately formed an array and prepared to bombard the city walls.

Shu is known as the country of abundance, especially this Yizhou is a dense water network, this South River is very wide, but it is very conducive to the action of warships.

And on the edge of the South River is this Yizhou City.

At this time, the battleship was docked on the north bank of the Nanhe River, and the distance between the north bank and the city of Yizhou was a thousand meters, because the range of the naval guns was relatively long, and it was enough to shell the city of Yizhou from here.

After setting up the array, Di Ying signaled to the captain of the ship, preparing to shoot a warning shot at Yizhou City, if the King of Shu is still obsessed, the real war will begin.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

With the sound of artillery, the battleship's shells smashed directly into the Yizhou city wall, and there were several more craters on the Yizhou city wall in the smoke and dust.

The loud sound of artillery instantly resounded throughout Yizhou City, and at this time, the wealthy families who were still feasting in the palace were in a hurry.

"Oh no, there must have been a fight." A wealthy man said.

"The King of Shu is bent on going his own way, and now he doesn't care about us at all, how should this be good?"

"We can't continue to wait like this, the army from Qingzhou is the king's division, and the king of Shu is rebellious, if we follow him, this is the same rebellion." One said.

"What I said is that without further ado, let's go back and gather our troops to take down the King of Shu, otherwise I don't know what this army will do when it enters the city!"

While everyone was talking, a slave and maid of the palace suddenly came to the main hall and whispered a few words to a wealthy family who sat down on the left.

"Brother Song, what's wrong?" The old man on the right side of the opposite side asked.

The person known as Brother Song said: "The third prince Xiao Zhen is in the palace, and he was watched by the king of Shu, and now only this Xiao Zhen can save Yizhou City, after all, he came with the emperor's will and can stop the army outside the city." The slave just now was his eyeliner in the Shu Palace.

"Without further ado, we will see the third prince now and let him preside over the affairs of Yizhou, so as not to let the king of Shu come to Hu."

Everyone reached an agreement and immediately came out of the main hall to the backyard of the palace.

The wealthy clan was aggressive, and the guards of the palace did not dare to stop them for a while, and they soon saw the three princes.

At this time, the Hao family surnamed Song said: "The third prince, Yizhou is in danger, for the sake of the people of Yizhou City, I hope that the third prince can stop the king of Shu." ”

Xiao Zhen also heard the sound of cannons, and he knew in his heart that it must be the King of Shu who sent troops to provoke Di Ying.

He sighed, no matter what, he couldn't protect the King of Shu, if so, he could only protect himself.

So he said, "In that case, I hope you can help me." ”

After that, under the protection of the Hao clan, he went straight to the northern city, where the king of Shu was directing his soldiers to defend and attack.

The sudden arrival of the three princes caught the King of Shu a little off guard, and he looked at the wealthy families again, and he already had a plan in his heart.

He smiled sadly, "You have all betrayed me. ”

"Fifth brother, the one who knows the times is Junjie, you will only kill more innocent people like this, I advise you again, surrender." The third prince persuaded hard.

The King of Shu shook his head, his eyes suddenly became indifferent, and he suddenly said to the soldiers behind him: "Kill them!" ”

At this moment, the third prince was completely disappointed, and he suddenly pulled out a short-barreled musket from his sleeve cage and fired a shot at the King of Shu.

Because the distance between the two sides was only two meters, the King of Shu had no way to dodge, and the bullet instantly sank into the chest of the King of Shu.

Blood flowed down the bullet holes, and the King of Shu slowly fell......
