Yiling County, the county guard.

Shi Yan frowned and walked into the huā garden, behind Shi Yan. Several guards followed closely, accompanied by Shi Yan's close ministers.

Taishou Mansion Huayu is contiguous, the high halls and pavilions are overlapped, and the gardens inside are also very broad.

This is more than ten years, demolished many surrounding residences, to create a scale, not to mention, only in the corridor, with delicate texture of cloud wood, not far away, there is a lake, pavilions and pavilions hidden in the shade of the trees, showing a high taste, revealing a noble atmosphere.

It's a pity, such a mansion is afraid that it doesn't belong to you, right?

Shi Yan secretly thought, in the blink of an eye, it was more than ten years, and this period of time was really like a dream.

What made him think this was the battle not so long ago... The Shu army lives up to its name!

When the Shuchi naval army rushed to the Yiling water ship with a rigorous battle formation. This moment caused a fire and screams. Shi Yan, the county guard who was guarding the battle on the city of Yiling County, was already stunned.

In fact, the unification of Shu was too fast, and the reputation of the Shu army was not very big, mainly because there were not too many battles. And since ancient times, the combat effectiveness of the Shu army is not first-rate.

Shu is unified, there are seventeen counties, it's not that I don't know, it's just that the Shu army has not many achievements, and Shu has gone through the big luàn a few decades ago, and the population has changed from five million to one and a half million, which makes people a little despised.

Even if he knew that Wang Hongyi had trained a group of sailors in Shudi. The Shuchi water army is weak, and few people have seen the true strength of Wang Hongyi's water army, and Shi Yan did not put it on his heart for this water army.

In the view of the strict history of this Yiling County. The Shu soldiers were already relatively weak, how strong could the sailors be?

Over the years, I have never heard of any strong sailors in Shudi, and the dogs are just a group of land soldiers who have made up a number, right?

He might be worried about getting to land. But he has a water army that can resist on the water, so what is there to fear?

This Shi Yan never expected that the combat effectiveness of the Shu army was not inferior to the regular Jingzhou, with more than 20 warships. It was only an hour before it was defeated. Although many Yiling soldiers jumped into the water to escape, there were still many soldiers who died on the boat!

This battle alone destroyed the foundation of the naval army that Yibiao County had cultivated over the years!

In the huā garden, in February, the plants and trees are dyed with some chūnsè, only the apricot huā is in full bloom in the most splendid season, and the yàn is delicate. 繁huā丽sè, rouge ten thousand points, occupy the chūn wind.

In the huā garden, even the old apricot trees that have been planted in a row for more than ten years are vigorous and have big branches. Planted on the edge of the pool, it forms a reflection in the water, and the red clouds are very spectacular and moving, and the willow leaves reflect each other.

Apricot huā contains buds and blooms when they are to be released. As the huā petals stretch, the sè color gradually fades from thick to light, and when it falls, it becomes snow-white.

, "Daobai is not really white, words are not as red as red, please be red and white, don't look at heaven." ”。 Shi Yan thought, at this time, when he arrived at the pavilion, the guards stayed outside to guard, Shi Yan sat on the seat, and said to the two people who came in together, "You two should also sit......

The two courtiers, dressed as scribes, answered their promise and sat down.

Then. Two maids came in and came over in skirts to serve tea.

"It's unexpected. The Shu army is so powerful! Tell me about it, the matter is up to now. How to end up is the best policy?,。 Shi Yan sighed and asked. You can't take the initiative yourself, besides, he is still a little hesitant in his heart.

He was not worried about the treatment of surrender, in the unification war of Shudi, this kind of Taishou who did not resolutely resist was all official positions, but it was very likely that he would be transferred to other counties, which was why he was a little reluctant.

The county town and the prefecture that have been in business for more than ten years!

The two people sitting down didn't know the lord's intentions, and they looked at each other and hesitated.

Shi Yan saw this scene. The anger surged, and the nomination asked, "Sun Liu, you talk about it first......

Wen Chen, named Sun Liu, heard that he was named by the lord, so he had to stand up and bow his hand to Shi Yan, who was at the top: "Lord, although the Shu army is brave. But it's not brutal. At this point, there was no détente......

"Do you mean to say that this county will be surrendered to the Shu army?...... The county guard Shi Yan stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced in place.

After a while, he shook his head: "No, no, although Wang Hongyi pacified Shu and had some prestige, compared to the princes of other places, there was still a gap, and he surrendered to him...... It's hard to make this determination!".

After Wang Hongyi inherited his throne, in just a few years, he unified Shu, although he had a strategic merit, but also because of his strong strength, and now the army is in the city, even if it can resist for a while, once the army is overwhelmed............

Another Wenchen's reminder made Shi Yan's brows furrow.

Whoever descends, it's all the same, although Shi Yan is the county guard of the imperial court, he doesn't have any loyal and patriotic thoughts, he can stay in office safely and live happily, which is his goal. It is also exquisite.

Reluctance to be rich and wealthy is one thing, but more importantly. I don't want to surrender to others today, and be destroyed by another prince the next day.

"Let the county think again...... ，。

, "Newspaper".

"Let him in." ”。

, "Report to the Lord, there is a Shu army xiǎo ship docked, saying that it is a messenger sent by the Shu army to see the Lord. At this time, a sergeant quickly entered the county guard's mansion, and when he arrived in front of Shi Yan, he quickly bowed down and said in his mouth.

"At this time, the Shu army sent an envoy to see the county?" Shi Yan's face was gloomy, looking at the sergeant below, his face was blue and white, what is this?

First the threat of force, then the verbal threat?

Shi Yan's two henchmen glanced at each other. couldn't help but see the consternation in the other party's eyes. At the same time, there is a hint of secret joy.

It is possible that he really does not want to be an enemy of the Shu army. Shi Yan's account. There is nothing to compete with the generals of the Shu army. The rivers and fortified cities that they rely on on weekdays "can't last long under the attack of the Shu army, and it is rumored that the Shu army has a giant trebuchet."

At this moment, when they heard that the Shu army had sent an envoy to see Shi Yan, a strange look flashed in their eyes.

, "The lord has sent a messenger from the Shu army, so it is better to see him and see what is going on...... Sun Liu quickly came to Shi Yan's side and whispered.

, "What Lord Sun said is that it is okay to meet each other anyway, and besides, the Shu army is so fierce. If you rashly refuse, won't you cut off the last way out?,。 Another person also said it.

"However, if the other party proposes to surrender the county,...... Shi Yan hesitated slightly.

, "Lord, you must know that the Duke of Shu is the lord of Shu" Yiling is only a county, that is, the last to surrender to the Shu army. The lord will not be ridiculed for resisting the land of Shu with a county, even the Duke of Shu himself cannot do this. What's more, the other party has sent an envoy to discuss with us at this time. You can also test the other person's mind...... ，。 Sun Liu continued to persuade.

Shi Yan was already a little moved. Thinking about it, so many princes in Shu have surrendered to Wang Hongyi, and Wang Hongyi is now a great prince of Shu, and he himself has surrendered to him. It is not necessarily impossible to continue to serve as a county warden here.

Of course, this may not be big, even if he is transferred to another county and continues to stay in the official position, who will follow, not with?

"So...... , too". Shi Yanshen was solemn and nodded slowly.

Weak countries have no outer jiāo.

Although Shi Yan is the county guard of Yiling, he is a lot weaker in momentum.

With his voice: "Please come in the envoy of the Shu army......

A tall man with a resolute face. He strode in from the outside with some young men from Junxiujing. Behind him, he was followed by several attendants, all following behind the man.

In terms of momentum, as soon as Lu Suhai appeared, the other party was secretly surprised, and secretly thought, Shu Di is really handsome. Pull out any one, it's all extraordinary!

, "Lu Suhai, the deputy guard general of the Duke of Shu, is on the order of the governor of my family. Come and talk to Shi Junshou about things...... The person who rushed out bowed his hand. The tone is neither humble nor arrogant, and the bearing is calm, which makes people feel good.

Wang Hongyi's subordinates are all such officials, and it is no wonder that the land of Shuzhong can be pacified within a few years!

"It turned out to be Lord Lu, please take a seat first...... Shi Yan was originally from a big family, and he has always had a good attitude towards such an elegant person.

Speaking of reality, there is not much surprising in the general trend of Lu Suhai's analysis, it is nothing more than after the unification of the land. How strong is it, now that the first battle was lost, the 7,000 sailors may not have the strength to capture the county town, but as long as reinforcements arrive, this county town will be down, at that time, I am afraid that it will be different.

These stakes are not complicated, but Shi Yan's expression is still solemn.

This is the hole card, many historical strategists and lobbyists are invincible, in fact, if you look closely, they all take advantage of victory or strong momentum to obtain results.

Weak xiǎo said to descend strong, which has not been heard since ancient times.

According to Lu Suhai, it is nothing more than to surrender to the Shu army, and you can continue to stay here as the county guard (this is what Wang Hongyi said before), of course, after transferring to other counties, or being promoted, there is no need to say more.

What Lu Suhai said was very simple, but it was very clear.

Lu Suhai and Shi Yan's jiāo talk. It only took less than half an hour, and the two sides were still talking happily, and Shi Yan agreed to surrender.

Originally, it was over at this time, Lu Suhai asked Shi Yan. What merit to surrender.

Shi Yan was stunned: "Jiāo out of the household registration to change the flag, can't it?".

Lu Suhai said: "This is just a duty, just to keep his official position, but now there are many talents in the country, even if he keeps his official position, there is no merit, even if Lord Shi is old, wouldn't he be thinking for the clan?,。

Shi Yan thought for a while and said, "I have been guarding the county for more than ten years. There is also some prestige, and I am willing to appease and surrender, and within a few months I will make the whole county obey the prince. He said, "I can make them donate money and goods......

Lu Suhai said, "This can please the lord, but it is not enough. ，。

Shi Yan asked, "What did that teach me?" , Lu Suhai said: "The lord has gone down to Yiling, his ambition is in Jingzhou, and Lord Shi has been in Jingzhou for more than ten years, which will be beneficial to the lord, if he works hard in this regard, the lord will take a look at it......

When Shi Yan heard this, his heart was relieved, indeed, he had connections and relationships in Jingzhou, and helping Wang Hongyi in this regard would naturally play a role that was difficult for others to play.

The minister of Jingzhou, who else should I be? Shi Yan thought like this, and was overjoyed in his heart, and invited Lu Suhai to drink at the banquet.

The next day, after Lu Suhai walked out of Yiling County, it didn't take long for Shi Yan, the county guard, to open the city to welcome the Shu army into the city.
