After breaking the city, Xiao Yuan did not chase and kill those fleeing people. He wanted to pass Zitong. Now that the purpose of breaking the city has been achieved, there is naturally no need to kill again.

Then, he also got up to the city.

At this time, Zhang Jingrui was surrounded by the Qin army. When people saw Xiao Yuan, they naturally gave way and shouted: "Lord!"

Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly and signaled that everyone didn't have to be polite. Then he walked into the venue and looked up at Zhang Jingrui.

The latter is about thirties, dressed in a standard ancient civil servant, and the beard on his chin is very well decorated.

He held a sword in his hand and was still muttering to himself: "It's over, Zitong is over, Yizhou is over..."

Xiao Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang, I can make an exception for you. If you kneel down and surrender now, the governor of Zitong County will still be yours."

This condition can be said to be extremely tempting, because it is not that the city has not been broken, but that it has already attacked. If Zhang Jingrui does not agree, he may die immediately.

On one side is death, on the other side is high-ranking officials, wealth and honor, this is a very simple option.

But when Zhang Jingrui heard this, he suddenly looked at Xiao Yuan and sneered: "Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated! Xiao thief! Now Zitong is captured by you. As a county magistrate, I will live and die with this city!"

As he spoke, he didn't stop, and directly raised his sword to put it on his neck, trying to commit suicide to show his ambition.

"Stop him!"

But Xiao Yuan had already stopped shouting as soon as he finished speaking. The soldiers on both sides immediately stepped forward and pressed Zhang Jingrui to the ground.

"Evil thief! Traitor!" Zhang Jingrui was restrained, but he turned his head and cursed at Xiao Yuan.

"Bold dog official!" Xu Hu immediately glared at him when he saw this.

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan waved his hand, then stopped talking nonsense to Zhang Jingrui, but directly ordered: "Prepare and take strict supervision!"

"No!" The soldiers received the order.

Zhang Jingrui was taken away, but he was still shouting: "Tethief! Take a quick knife! I can kill you but not be humiliated-"

He thought that Xiao Yuan was to torture and humiliate him, but the latter had no such meaning.

After Zi Tong captured, Xiao Yuan did not stop for a moment and directly led his army to Yizhou.

Zhang Jingrui wanted to win time for Yizhou, but he had already tried his best. When the Qin army arrived outside Yizhou, Chen Tai led 40,000 Shu troops, which was two days away from Yizhou.

At this time, Su Yi began to suggest to Xiao Yuan that since he had arrived in Yizhou first, there was no need to rush to attack the city. He could use Yizhou to annihilate Chen Tai and his unit first.

He said: "When Chen Tai sent troops to use Rongcheng to implement a strategy of besieging the city and attacking aid, now we can also bait Yizhou. This place is the capital of Sichuan and Shu, and the Lord of Shu is even more in it. Chen Tai will be saved if he doesn't save it."

His suggestion is undoubtedly the best solution, because Yizhou is too big and the city defense is solid, and it will definitely not be able to capture it within two days. Then Chen Tai's support will arrive again, and the Qin army will be attacked from the back and forth.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan immediately adopted his opinion and did not attack Yizhou for the time being, but instead made a certain siege and then set up ambush on several necessary roads.

Chen Tai is a general of Shu. The Lord of Shu was trapped in Yizhou and needed support in urgent need of support. He had no choice but to march desperately. It would be a matter of time before he could rest.

It's like knowing that there may be a fire pit ahead, you still have to jump, you can't jump!

Needless to say, Chen Tai was in a mess. After he withdrew his troops in a hurry, he temporarily set up camp dozens of miles outside Yizhou.

Yizhou is ahead, but I just can't go back. Chen Tai's mood is imaginable. He was full of anxiety and paced back and forth, and kept saying, "What should I do, what should I do..."

The other Shu generals in the tent also lost their voices, and their heads were slightly lowered. The situation was very clear. If you could save Yizhou, you would have to be ambushed by the Qin army. At that time, Chen Tai and his family would not know how many casualties would be.

There was a situation where he was either going forward or retreat again, while the Yizhou side was already in trouble.

The main hall of the meeting on this day.

The Lord of Shu Huang Songyuan was already panicked. He was in the lord position directly above, looking back and forth at the ministers below, and asked: "Now the Qin army is at the city and will attack our Yizhou at any time. What should I do? What should I do!"

All the officials below lowered their heads slightly lowered, and no one dared to speak.

Seeing this, Huang Songyuan was even more panicked: "You are not all good at speaking! You are talking now!"

When people heard this, they looked at each other with their heads down, but in the end, an official stood up and bowed and said:

"Lord, Qin lord Xiao Yuan, the army besieged the city, Yizhou is in danger, but General Chen Tai's return to the rescue was blocked and he was unable to advance half a step. With Yizhou's existing troops, I am afraid... I am afraid that it will no longer be able to hold on..."

"This, this..." Hearing this, Huang Songyuan became even more nervous, and he also glanced around and asked hurriedly: "What is the countermeasure! What is the countermeasure! Who can save me! Who can save me!"

His appearance fully demonstrates his fear of life and death, his helplessness and lack of opinion.

Seeing this, the official swallowed his saliva and said carefully: "Lord, the current situation is worse than... to open the city and offer surrender."

"What did you say!" After hearing this, Huang Songyuan naturally couldn't help but stand up.

The official said with courage. Seeing that he was angry, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground in panic and said, "Lord, Lian Xiao has rebelled and Chen Tai cannot rescue him. Now the only one who can defend Yizhou is only 10,000 troops. If he continues to fight to the death, he will still be destroyed. But if the city is opened, the Qin Lord will definitely treat the lord well. Only in this way can Yizhou be safe..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other officials knelt on the ground and echoed: "Yes, lord, only by asking for surrender can we protect the peace of Yizhou and Sichuan..."

"I hope the lord thinks twice..."

From the scene, it is not difficult to see that the Lord of Shu is so mysterious.

The reason why these officials are like this is inseparable from Yong'an's surrender. In their opinion, if they surrender, they might be able to save their official positions like Li Minggui. No matter how bad they are, they can still save their lives. But once they do not surrender, they will still have their lives when Xiao Yuan comes in.

The officials were afraid of death, which was closely related to Huang Songyuan's governance.

There are actually many talented men in Shu, but under such mediocre leaders, how could those talented people be born?

In the hall, officials kneeled all over the ground, and Huang Songyuan widened his eyes.

"Surrender? Can I still survive if I surrender..."

He murmured to himself, and sat back in dismay.

At this moment, Fu De, who had not spoken, stood up and said seriously:
Chapter completed!
