It was already bright, and on the square of Jianye Palace, Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi brought more than [-] officials to collectively appeal to Sun Quan, imploring Sun Quan to negotiate with the Han army. The so-called negotiation is just a glorification of surrender. Especially for Jiangdong's important ministers, negotiating and surrendering will only allow them to continue to enjoy wealth, but once the Han army attacks the city aggressively and the sword has no eyes, their lives will be lost.

Especially last night when the Han army launched a fire attack.The momentum of the fire made Jiangdong officials terrified. The official office where they lived was burned to the ground, and the Jianye Palace was almost burned down. This made the officials witness the cruelty of the war and realized the importance of Jianye City. The weakness is that the city is too small and has no depth. Once the Han army attacks the city, Jianye City will be destroyed.

Not only Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi, but all the officials understood that Liu Jing was only warning them and urging them to surrender. If they were still stubborn, the next step would be to burn the city, and everyone would be burned to death.

"Marquis Wu, please listen to the minister's words and make a decision early!"

Zhang Zhao's voice was hoarse. He didn't know how long he had been screaming, but Sun Quan just ignored him. Zhang Zhao was discouraged, and turned to the crowd and said, "Marquis Wu is obsessed with obsession, what should we do?"

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Yan Yan, and everyone was in the same mind, hoping that Yan Yan could go on a mission again, Yan Yan secretly smiled bitterly, without the order of Marquis Wu, what would his mission be?

This is a big problem. After all, Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong. If there is no order from Sun Quan, they will be dishonest, and they may even be suspected of betraying the lord. The officials value this reputation very much, which makes everyone very embarrassed. .

Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi glanced at each other, and now they don't care so much, Bu Zhi said slowly: "We can first understand Liu Jing's bottom line, which is also considered to understand the other party's situation, and the final decision is of course up to you." Marquis Wu came to make a decision, I don’t think it’s a big problem, what do you guys think?”

Everyone agreed, "Chang Shi is very right, knowing the situation, it really doesn't matter!"

Zhang Zhao then said to Yan Yan, "I would like to ask Mr. Yan to go to the camp of the Han army again and have another talk with the King of Han!"

Seeing that everyone recommended him unanimously, Yan Jian had no choice but to bow and say, "I would like to go to the Han army camp."

Everyone was overjoyed, and surrounded Yan Yan one after another. At this moment, Bu Zhi whispered to Zhang Zhao: "I think the key lies in that person!"

Bu Zhi glanced quickly at Jianye Palace, Zhang Zhao understood Bu Zhi's meaning, and said, "Let Mancai go and find out before we talk."

Bu Zhi nodded. He also knew that he couldn't talk deeply now, so he turned around and walked outside Jianye Palace. Zhang Zhao's eyes were flickering.

Yan Jian was led by two Han army guards all the way to the military tent in the Han camp. The guards stood at the door and reported to the tent, "His Royal Highness, the Jianye envoy has brought it."

"Please come in!"

Although he used a 'please', he was not as polite as last time, he didn't say anything when he didn't welcome out of the tent, and his tone was more severe, Yan Yan was quite disturbed, and walked into the big tent quickly.

I saw a huge wooden sculpture of a city in the center of the tent. Liu Jing and a dozen or so high-ranking military officials surrounded the wooden sculpture. Yan Jian didn't take a closer look, but went forward to bow to Liu Jing, "Yan Jian sees His Highness the King of Han!"

Liu Jing glanced at Yan Yan, smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Yan, why don't you help us see what's wrong with this wooden city?"

Only then did Yan Jian realize that this wooden city turned out to be Jianye City. He was secretly surprised. After careful observation, he found that the wooden city was made lifelike. The city walls, palaces, government offices, military camps, and warehouses were all complete, and their positions and sizes were completely in line with the requirements. The real city, and even the width and width of the Qinhuai water in the city are exactly the same as the reality. It can be seen that the Han army has long been familiar with Jianye City.

Yan Jian smiled wryly and said: "The city is impeccable, and the details are perfect, but it's a pity that the government office was burned down last night, and it doesn't exist anymore."

"I see!"

Liu Jing smiled, and winked at the officers next to him. The two officers immediately took away the two government offices, and Jianye City suddenly became empty. "Is this right?" Liu Jing asked again with a smile.

"There are ruins everywhere in Jianye City, how can it be so clean and tidy?"

Liu Jing nodded, but stopped asking about Mucheng, and changed the subject to ask: "Did Duke Yan come here on his own initiative, or was he sent as an envoy under the order of Marquis Wu?"

Yan Jian thought of many reasons along the way, when Liu Jing asked a word, Yan Jian knew that he couldn't hide it from Liu Jing at all, and playing tricks in front of Liu Jing would only be counterproductive, so he had to tell the truth: "Reporting to Your Highness, All the ministers are willing to negotiate with the Han army, but the Marquis of Wu ignores it, and everyone has no choice but to recommend me to the Han army camp, hoping to have another talk with His Highness the King of Han."

Liu Jing smiled lightly, "If the negotiation is for your personal future and wealth, I can clearly say that as long as you are loyal to Han, I can guarantee your prosperity and wealth, and even allow you to continue to display your talents, so that your official career will no longer be limited. Jiangdong, but look at the world, but if the negotiation is for Jiangdong, then there is no need to continue the negotiation."

Yan Jian felt that he had no room to speak. Every word Liu Jing said blocked his way out, so he could only sigh and remained silent, waiting for Liu Jing's ultimatum.

Liu Jing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said: "I might as well tell Duke Yan the truth. Because of the outbreak of epidemic disease in the Jianye City defenders, I will not procrastinate any longer. I decided to attack the city today. Once the city is attacked, the entire Jianye City will be destroyed." The city will be burnt, and I don't want to see this scene. Lord Yan might as well take a message back. Tonight, at the hour of the day, the Han army will burn Jianye City. Before that, the city will be surrendered. The lives of the princes and the soldiers of the three armies will be saved! "

Yan Jian brought back Liu Jing's ultimatum, which caused panic among Jiangdong officials in Jianye City. What they were most worried about was finally about to happen. Once the Han army burned the city, no one's life could be saved. Dozens of Jiangdong officials Senior officials once again gathered in front of the Jianye Palace and called on Marquis Wu to leave the palace to discuss, but Sun Quan still ignored him, and even the guards didn't know where he was hiding?

Time passed little by little, and the confrontation in front of the Jianye Palace was still fruitless. Seeing that it was getting dark, the officials were even more worried, and rushed to look for the military advisor Zhang Zhao. Unexpectedly, the military advisor Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi disappeared, causing everyone Panic.

In the South Gate Barracks, in an unobtrusive barracks, Zhang Zhao, Bu Zhi, and Lu Meng are conducting final negotiations. To force Sun Quan to surrender, there are many things to do. Zhang Zhao has a more ingenious way, but he needs the cooperation of Lu Meng.

"Time is running out. If we don't surrender, I'm afraid we will live and die with Jianye. The current strategy can only force Marquis Wu to make a final decision."

When Zhang Zhao said this, he sighed slightly, but looked at Lu Meng, implying that he wanted Lu Meng to come forward, Lu Meng pondered for a while and said, "There are also generals under my command who want to open the city and surrender, why not let them directly sacrifice Jianye? "

Bu Zhi said from the side: "The surrender of the Marquis of Wu is completely different from the surrender of the general. The devotion of the city by the general is a prisoner of war, but the surrender of the Marquis of Wu means surrender. The meaning is completely different."

Zhang Zhao added: "And I don't want any surprises for Marquis Wu. If we make extreme moves, wouldn't we become sinners? It would be best for him to sacrifice the city and surrender, so we need to find someone to remonstrate Marquis Wu."

"I know that there is one person who is willing to remonstrate with Marquis Wu, and I am afraid that he will refuse to order to surrender. What should I do then?"

Bu Zhi smiled slightly, "General Lu doesn't have to worry about this, I have my own way."

In the Zhaixing Pavilion of Jianye Palace, Sun Quan drank the wine alone. These days, he almost spent drinking in extreme depression. In just a few days, his hair was already half gray. Seeing that the Jiangdong Building was about to collapse, how could he Explain to father and brother?

Sun Quan didn't know what was going on outside, and he didn't want to know. He just wanted to get drunk and forget all his troubles. There were more than a dozen personal guards around Sun Quan, and they didn't dare to tell Sun Quan the truth, let alone persuade him to surrender. Three days ago, Sun Quan He killed two guards who persuaded him to surrender, making everyone silent.

Sun Quan cried and sang, and drank wildly. He didn't realize that he was very drunk. He drank the wine in one gulp, reached for the jug, but found that the jug was empty, and shouted: "Bring more wine!"

At this time, there was a scream from outside, followed by a yell, and a sound of swords clashing, which surprised Sun Quan. He stood up against the wall, staggered two steps, and the door was knocked open. , Dozens of heavily armed soldiers rushed in, the leading general was Dong Xi, holding a broadsword in his hand, looking at Sun Quan coldly.

"General Dong, what are you doing?" Sun Quan asked in surprise.

"In half an hour, the Han army will set fire to the city, and everyone will die. Does Marquis Wu know?"

Sun Quan shook his head, "I don't know!"

"These guards concealed the news and missed a major event. They deserved to die. I have killed them all. Now I ask Marquis Wu to order Kaesong to surrender and save the lives of [-] innocent soldiers."

Sun Quan was furious, pointing at Dong Xi and yelling, "Are you plotting rebellion?"

"Humble post is not for treason, it is to save the lives of Marquis Wu and his soldiers. The situation is critical, Marquis Wu please give an order!"

Sun Quan pulled out the sword on the wall and shouted: "If you die, everyone will die together. I will never surrender. I will kill you, a traitor, first!"

He slashed at Dong Xi with his sword. Dong Xi struck with a broadsword, and the sword was broken in two. Sun Quan couldn't stand upright and fell to the ground. He sighed and said: "Humble post is not my original intention, but in order to save the lives of Marquis Wu and all the soldiers, I have to wrong Marquis Wu first."

The soldiers blocked Sun Quan's mouth and pushed him out. Sun Quan hated him so much, but he couldn't cry out.

In front of the Jianye Palace, nearly ten thousand soldiers and dozens of high-ranking officials gathered under the steps, waiting for Sun Quan to come out and announce his surrender. The crowd was dense, and everyone looked anxiously expectant. There was only a quarter of an hour before the deadline. .

At this time, the bell rang, and the soldiers suddenly burst into cheers. Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi came out accompanied by Marquis Wu and Sun Quan. This person is Sun Quan.

'Sun Quan' didn't say a word, sat down behind the table, took a step forward, opened the brocade scroll and announced: "God's will cannot be violated, for the sake of Jiangdong from the flames of war, for the millions of people, and for all the soldiers to go home Reunited with my parents, wife and children, I decided to give up resistance”

More than 1 soldiers burst into cheers again, everyone hugged each other, and wept with joy. Although Lu Meng vaguely guessed that the "Sun Quan" sitting behind the table was not real, but until now, it could only be like this.

He immediately ordered: "Kaicheng, surrender to the Han army!"

In the 22nd year of Jian'an, Sun Quan issued an order to give up resistance. The last [-] Jiangdong troops trapped in Jianye City surrendered and surrendered. The south except Jiaozhou.

Five days later, Sun Shangxiang, the second concubine of the Han Dynasty, arrived in Jiangdong by boat.
