The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 207 Return of Yizhou
It took more than half a month for the scouts sent by Yizhou to Jiangdong to return.

The news brought back by the scouts made Liu Zhang completely desperate.

Jingzhou and Jiangdong all joined Yuan Xu in just three or four days.

Now there is no surrender, only Yizhou, including Hanzhong, remains.

After receiving the report from the scouts, Liu Zhang quickly invited Zhang Song to his residence.

When Zhang Song saw the ceremony, Liu Zhang asked him, "The scouts have returned from Jiangdong, what does Ziqiao think of me?"

Pretending not to know what news the scouts brought back, Zhang Song asked him, "What did the scouts say?"

"It is true that Yuan Xianxin subdued Jingzhou and Jiangdong in only three or four days." Liu Zhang replied, "As long as he comes here, Yizhou can't resist it for three days."

"My lord thinks that Yizhou can't resist?" Zhang Song frowned slightly, pretending to be in distress: "We have old general Yan Yan..."

"Jingzhou and Jiangdong have more talents than us." Liu Zhang said, "They are powerless to resist, so what can Yan Yan do alone?"

"My lord, what do you mean..." Zhang Song asked pretendingly, "Are you going to surrender to Yuan Xianxin?"

"It is said that he did not embarrass Liu Biao and Sun Quan." Liu Zhang said: "If I surrender, I should not be in a miserable situation."

"As far as I know, Yuan Xianxin not only did not make things difficult for Liu Biao and Sun Quan, but he also did not make things too difficult for Cao Cao and Liu Bei." Zhang Song replied, "If my lord votes for him, he should be able to preserve his reputation and wealth."

"Bring Xu Yuanzhi here." Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Song with a dejected look on his face.

Zhang Song resigned and asked Xu Shu to go.

Seeing him, Xu Shu asked, "How is it? Did Liu Yizhou say anything?"

"He invited you over." Zhang Song replied, "The scouts have come back from Jiangdong, and this matter is probably done."

"As long as he is willing to surrender, the young master will not treat him badly." Xu Shu said: "Duke Zhang has made great contributions this time, and I will tell the young master truthfully."

"Mr. Xianxin's martial arts and martial arts are unparalleled in the world." Zhang Song replied: "It is my life's honor to serve him, and the credit comes second."

"That's what I said, I still deserve some credit." Xu Shu patted his arm lightly: "Please, Mr. Zhang, take me to see Liu Yizhou."

Zhang Song led Xu Shu to Liu Zhang's residence.

Hearing that Xu Shu was coming, Liu Zhang went to meet him outside the main gate in person.

"Yuan Zhi is coming." Seeing Xu Shu from a distance, he came up to meet him.

"Liu Yizhou." Xu Shu bowed and said, "Dare you call me here, what do you want to say?"

"These days, I have been thinking about what to do." Liu Zhang said: "Now I have figured it out. Since the world submits to Mr. Xianxin, I don't need to be strong. To serve Mr. Xianxin is also my duty as a courtier of a great man. .”

"Liu Yizhou has such insight, my lord must be very happy." Xu Shu asked, "Since you have decided to serve, when will you return to Yecheng with me?"

"Going to Yecheng?" Liu Zhang was surprised.

"Of course." Xu Shu said, "If you don't go to Yecheng, how can you see Yizhou's sincerity? If you stay here, if you feel disobedient in the future, won't you make your son troublesome?"

"Yuan Zhi said so." Liu Zhang imagined that as long as he left Yizhou and went to Yecheng, he would have nothing to do with it from now on.

However, the current situation is not good enough. As long as Yuan Xu comes, within two or three days, Yizhou will definitely fall.

Rather than waiting to be captured at that time, it is better to obediently follow Xu Shu to Yecheng.

Liu Zhang decided to take effect, first issued a document to inform the whole Yizhou, and then went to Yecheng together with Xu Shu.

Before leaving Yizhou, Xu Shu got the news. After Zhang Lu received his letter, he went directly to Yecheng without saying anything.

The ten-day deadline for the ghost horse has passed, and no one can ride it anymore.

It has returned to the place where the unicorn was alone ahead of time.

On the way back to Yecheng, Xu Shu asked Liu Zhang, "Has Liu Yizhou heard that Zhang Lu has left for Yecheng?"

"I heard." Liu Zhang replied, "In this way, I will be the last one to go to Yecheng."

"It should be." Xu Shu nodded with a smile.

Liu Zhang asked worriedly: "I went too late, will Mr. Xianxin..."

"What kind of horse is Liu Yizhou riding?" Xu Shu asked.

Liu Zhang looked down at the mount under his crotch: "It's a pony from Yizhou..."

"Zhang Lu went a few days earlier than you, so of course he arrived earlier." Xu Shu said: "The horse Yizhou rides is not a ghost horse, and there are some things to deal with before leaving, the young master will definitely understand."

"Yuan Zhi has to say a few nice words in front of Mr. Xian Xin." Liu Zhang was still very worried.

"Don't worry, I will definitely say what I have to say." Xu Shu said in relief, "Young Master is not unreasonable. Those who were enemies with him in the past have never been killed. It's just that Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not have Liu Biao and Sun Quan who surrendered." So be free."

"I understand Yuanzhi's meaning." Liu Zhang said, "I will definitely follow your son's instructions, and I will do whatever you want me to do."

"It's right to have this idea." Xu Shu nodded in agreement.

When they left Yizhou, Yuan Xu had already arrived in Yecheng.

The footsteps of unicorns and ghost horses are not comparable to ordinary horses.

Back in Yecheng, Yuan Xu didn't go home, but went straight to Liu Xie's residence.

Seeing him come back, Liu Xie went out to welcome him.

Arching his hands to Yuan Xu, Liu Xie asked with a smile on his face, "Xianxin has returned from victory?"

"Your Majesty." Yuan Xu replied, "The world is about to be unified, what are your majesty's plans?"

Hearing that the world is about to be unified, Liu Xie did not show any joy.

He timidly asked Yuan Xu, "What's Xianxin's plan?"

"What plans can I have?" Yuan Xu said with a smile: "Of course the world must be handed over to His Majesty."

"The world that you have conquered, why should you hand it over to others?" Xu Chu, who accompanied him to meet Liu Xie, stared.

Being shocked by Xu Chu's stare, Liu Xie didn't dare to say anything.

"Zhongkang must not be rude." Yuan Xu stopped Xu Chu: "How do you talk to Your Majesty?"

Xu Chu was dissatisfied: "I'm telling the truth, the world was brought down by the young master, why should I hand it over to others?"

Staring at Liu Xie, Xu Chu said: "It's not who should be the emperor. Whoever has the ability to conquer the world should be the emperor."

"Still talking?" Yuan Xu shouted, "You rebellious minister and thief, let's see how I deal with it later."

"The young master disposes of me, so others can obey him?" Xu Chu said, "I'm afraid that he won't be able to sit still on the throne for three days."

"Shut up!" Yuan Xu stopped drinking again, but there was no trace of anger on his face.

Liu Xie is not a fool, of course he understands what he means.

"Xianxin won the world, so I should let the virtuous." Liu Xie bowed and said, "I would like to be a minister under Xianxin's rule, and please accept the position of emperor."

"The great man's hundreds of years of foundation, could it be that His Majesty just gave it to me?" Yuan Xu pretended to decline: "It is absolutely impossible!"
