He is the lord of Yizhou, and now he is forced to surrender. One can imagine his mood, which is both desolate and helpless.
As he knelt down, the officials behind him also knelt down one after another, saying in unison: "Welcome General Xiao..."
Huang Songyuan took the lead, and all the people wearing official uniforms fell to their knees. The brocade box he held in his hand naturally contained the official seal of the Lord of Shu.
Xiao Yuan's eyes were dark.
Seeing that there was no movement, a group of officials couldn't help but raise their heads, glanced at Xiao Yuan cautiously, and then quickly lowered their heads, feeling a little anxious in their hearts.
Huang Songyuan also became nervous. He swallowed and was about to be brave enough to say something more, but Xiao Yuan had already smiled, walked over quickly, and reached out to help him up:
"Master Huang, please get up quickly."
"Please take the seal, general." After Huang Songyuan stood up, he quickly handed over the brocade box respectfully.
At this time, if you don't hand over your seal, how can you still survive?
Xiao Yuan looked at it and saw that there was no trace of ink, so he raised his head slightly to indicate to Xu Hu.
The latter understood, stepped forward and took the brocade box.
"Everyone please get up."
"Thank you, General—" People stood up one after another, and then bowed and stepped aside to welcome Xiao Yuan inside.
This surrender ceremony was not very grand, but it was quite satisfactory. As Huang Songyuan handed over his official seal, all the 10,000 guardsmen laid down their weapons and surrendered. At this point, the entire Yizhou has completely belonged to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan did not deal with this group of officials immediately, but ordered them to return home.
Afterwards, he took a group of generals and a large number of soldiers and began to patrol everywhere at will.
There are several majestic palace-like buildings here, and the main hall is where Sichuan government is discussed, and it is also where Huang Songyuan usually enjoys singing and dancing.
After arriving here, Xiao Yuan looked around for a week, then couldn't help but nod and said: "So impressive, Huang Songyuan is really rich."
The hall is extremely spacious and luxuriously decorated. There is a table directly above it with some bamboo slips placed on it, which is where the Lord of Shu usually sits.
Xiao Yuan walked over, then picked up the bamboo slips on several cases and read two volumes at will.
But soon, he frowned slightly and said, "What are these?"
As he spoke, he also handed Shangguan Wenruo a volume.
The latter took it and after reading it, shook his head slightly and said: "These should be records of singing, dancing and elegant music. Huang Songyuan is the lord of Sichuan and Shu, but he ignores political affairs all day long and indulges in the singing of orioles and the dancing of swallows. This fertile land is thousands of miles away." , How can such a mediocre person deserve to own such a vast country?"
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan also shook his head, threw down the bamboo slips and said: "Although we have entered Yizhou now, there are still two Shu armies outside, and other counties and counties in Shu have not yet been recovered. There are still many problems. ah."
After hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo said: "As for other counties, there shouldn't be a big problem. As for the two Shu armies, Chen Tai and Lian Xiao, the Lord of Shu has surrendered. Chen Tai should have no intention of fighting anymore, but Lian Xiao’s place…”
At this point, he paused. Xiao Yuan understood what he meant and continued: "It would be best if Chen Tairuo surrenders. As for Lian Xiao, don't worry about him for now. Let's deal with the Yizhou matter first."
As he spoke, he was also ready to ask Shangguan Wenruo for his opinion, saying, "In your opinion, how should the current Shu officials be dealt with?"
Shangguan Wenruo thought for a moment and said: "I think it is best for the Lord not to touch these Shu officials now and let them continue to govern Shu."
"It depends on the situation." Xiao Yuan replied first, and then said: "However, I very much agree with the suggestion of appointing Shu officials to govern Shu. The land of Sichuan and Shu has outstanding people and there must be many talents in Shu. However, , they were all buried by mediocrity."
"For example, take Zhang Jingrui. He can be regarded as a talented person in Shu, right? If we want to govern Shu in the future, we will need people like this."
Although Zhang Jingrui had scolded Xiao Yuan, it was because of the different camps. He would not hold grudge against the other party because of this.
After smiling, he added: "By the way, I have arrived in Yizhou now. There must be Zhang Jingrui's files in the highest official office. I will check it later and transfer all his files. I want to see his past." Political achievements and important official documents from the state government must be reviewed. Now we need to understand the Shu region."
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Shangguan Wenruo responded quickly.
Yizhou falls into the hands of Xiao Yuan, and there are many things that need to be dealt with.
On the other side, Chen Tai's subordinates.
The speed of information dissemination was not developed at that time, and the news of Huang Songyuan's surrender did not reach Chen Tai until two days later.
After hearing the news, the latter was immediately dumbfounded.
All the generals also widened their eyes.
This is really shocking news to them!
It wasn't until a while later that Chen Tai finally came back to his senses, and then with a look of disbelief on his face, he asked again: "Are you sure!?"
The spy knelt down on one knee, swallowed and said: "Yes...yes general, the lord has led his troops to surrender, Qin...Qin Lord has entered Yizhou."
"this!"
After being confirmed again, Chen Tai didn't know what to say and sat back blankly.
At this time, the other generals could not bear it anymore and came out one after another and asked:
"General, what should our department do now..."
"Yes, General, the lord has surrendered. Do we still want to fight now..."
"How can we still fight?" Chen Tai asked back, and then said with a wry smile: "My lord has surrendered, and Yizhou is gone. How can we, the Shu army, fight?"
What he said was right. All the people at the top had surrendered. How could the people below fight and still have any morale?
Chen Tai's surrender was a matter of course, but on the other side, Lian Xiao had no intention of doing so.
When the news came, he became so angry that he couldn't help shouting: "Yongzhu! Yongzhu! Who is our Shu army fighting to protect! It's Huang Songyuan! But he surrendered first from behind! It's ridiculous Extreme!"
"Then, General, how should we act now..." General Youbiao asked in a trembling voice.
Lian Xiao was furious. After taking several deep breaths, he said angrily: "Now in the entire Sichuan and Shu, we are the only army that dares to confront the Qin army. Send the order and the whole army retreats to Ningyang. The Qin army If you dare to come, fight with them!"
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and secretly swallowed their saliva.
Lian Xiao had no intention of surrendering at all. It could also be said that these were all within Xiao Yuan's expectations. After hearing this, he didn't say much, but put down the bamboo slips and said in a calm voice:
"Lian Xiao, don't worry about it for now. Immediately pass an order to the Yizhou officials to discuss matters in the hall tomorrow morning. Remember, this order is conveyed in the name of the Sichuan-Shu Prefecture."
"What do you mean, sir..." Shangguan Wenruo asked calmly.
Xiao Yuan raised his head and glanced at him: "Let's see tomorrow."
Shangguan Wenruo was shocked.
