Yiling County, the county guard.

Shi Yan frowned and walked into the 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 trees, it is a very high grade, 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 have this idea was the battle not long ago - the Shu army is worthy of its name!

When the Shu naval army rushed towards the Yiling water boat with a rigorous battle formation, causing a fire and screams, Shi Yan, the county guard who was guarding the battle on the city of Yiling County, had already been stunned.

In fact, the unification of Shu is too fast, and the reputation of the Shu army is not big, mainly because there are 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 chaos of a few decades ago, and the population has changed from five million to one and a half million, which makes people a little contemptuous.

Even if he knew that Wang Hongyi had trained a group of sailors in Shudi, the Shudi navy was weak, and few people had seen the true strength of Wang Hongyi's navy, and Shi Yan did not pay attention to this navy.

In the opinion of the Yiling County Shou Shiyan, 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, I'm afraid it's just a group of land soldiers who have made up a number, right?

If he can really reach land, he may be worried, but he has a naval 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 that of the regular Jingzhou, and more than 20 warships were defeated in just an hour.

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

In the garden, in February, the grass and trees are dyed with some spring colors, only the apricot blossoms are in the most brilliant season, the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, the flowers are beautiful, the rouge is ten thousand points, and the spring breeze is occupied.

In the garden, even planted in rows, more than 10 years of old apricot trees, vigorous posture, crown of large branches, planted on the edge of the pool, in the water to form a reflection, red clouds, very spectacular and moving, and willow leaves reflect each other.

When the apricot blossoms are budding and ready to be released, the flowers are bright red, and with the extension of the petals, the color gradually turns from thick to light, and when it falls, it becomes a snow-white piece.

"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 down!"

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

At this time, two maids came in and came over to serve tea in skirts.

"I really can't imagine that the Shu army is so powerful! You two talk about it, so far, how to end up is the best policy?" Shi Yan sighed and asked, can't he take the initiative himself, besides, he was 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 to be transferred to other counties, which is 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.

Seeing this scene, Shi Yan's anger surged, and he asked nominated: "Sun Liu, you talk about it first." ”

Wenchen, named Sun Liu, heard that he was named by the lord, so he had to stand up and bow his hand to Shi Yanyi, who was the head of the head: "Lord, although the Shu army is brave, it is not brutal, and at this time, there is no relaxation. ”

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

After a while, he shook his head: "It's not proper, it's not proper, although Wang Hongyi has pacified Shu and has some basic prestige, compared to the princes of other places, there is still a gap, and it is surrendered to him...... It's hard to make this determination!"

"Lord, although Wang Hongyi rose late, but his father was the first prince in Shu, the foundation is not shallow, after Wang Hongyi inherited his throne, in just a few years, he will dominate Shu, although there is a strategic merit, but also because of its strong strength, and now the army is in the city, even if it can resist for a while, once the army is ...... the army"

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.

On the one hand, it is one thing to be reluctant to be rich and rich, but more importantly, I don't want to surrender to others today and be destroyed by another prince in the future.

"Let's think again......"

"Report!"

"Let him in. ”

"Report to the Lord, there is a small boat of the Shu army docking, 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 with a report 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, and they couldn't help but see the consternation in each other's eyes, and at the same time there was a hint of secret joy.

It is possible that he really doesn't want to be the enemy of the Shu army, under Shi Yan's account, there is nothing to compete with the general of the Shu army, and the rivers and fortified cities that he relies on weekdays cannot 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 different color flashed in their eyes.

"Lord, since the Shu army has sent an envoy, it is better to meet him and see what is going on...... Sun Liu quickly came to Shi Yan's side and whispered.

"What Lord Sun said is extremely true, it's 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 to retreat?" said the other person.

"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 laughed at, with a county to resist the land of Shu, even the Duke of Shu himself can't do this. What's more, the other party sent an envoy to negotiate with us at this time, and you can also test the other party's mind......" Sun Liu continued to persuade him.

Shi Yan was already a little moved, thinking about it, it is true, so many princes in Shu have surrendered to Wang Hongyi, Wang Hongyi is now a great prince of Shu, and he has surrendered to him, and he may not be able to continue to serve as a county guard here.

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

"So...... It's okay!" Shi Yan looked solemn and nodded slowly.

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

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, resolute young man with some handsome young men strode in from the outside. 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, Shudi is really handsome, just pull out one, it's all extraordinary!

"Lu Suhai, the deputy guard general of the Duke of Shu, was ordered by the governor of my family to come to discuss things with Shi Junshou. The person who rushed out arched his hand, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and his bearing was calm, which made 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 how powerful it is after the unification of Shu and Shu, and 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 the reinforcements arrive, the county town will fall, 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.

The weak descend from the strong, and they have 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.

The conversation between Lu Suhai and Shi Yan took less than half an hour, and the two sides were quite happy to talk about each other, and Shi Yan agreed to surrender.

Originally, it was over at this time, and Lu Suhai asked Shi Yan what he did to surrender.

Shi Yan was stunned: "Isn't it okay to hand over the household registration and change flag?"

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 credit, even if Master Shi is old, isn't it for the clan?"

Shi Yan thought for a while and said: "I have been guarding the county for more than ten years, and I still have some prestige, and I am willing to appease and surrender, and within a few months, the whole county will obey the national duke." ”

Then he said, "I will make them donate money and goods to the great families of the clan." ”

Lu Suhai said: "This can make the lord happy, 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. ”

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 gate to welcome the Shu army into the city.
