It was already dawn. In the Jianye Palace Square, Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi collectively asked Sun Quan to see Sun Quan and beg Sun Quan to negotiate with the Han army. The so-called negotiation was just a beautification of surrender, and at most it was to improve the treatment after surrender. Especially for the important officials in Jiangdong, negotiating surrender would only allow them to continue to enjoy wealth, but once the Han army attacked the city with a large scale and had no eyes, it would be difficult to protect their lives.

Especially last night, the Han army launched a fire attack. The fire burned the sky and made the officials in Jiangdong frightened. The office where they lived was burned to white ground, and the Jianye Palace was almost burned. This made the officials witness the cruelty and ruthlessness of the war with their own eyes and realized the weakness of Jianye City, that is, the city was small and had no depth. Once the Han army attacked the city in large numbers, Jianye City would burn both jade and stones.

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

"Mr. Wu, please listen to me 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 disgusted and turned around and said to everyone: "Wu Hou is obsessed with it, what should we do?"

At this time, everyone looked at Yan Yan. Everyone was in agreement and hoped that Yan Yan could go on a mission again. Yan Yan smiled bitterly. Without the order of Wu Hou, what is his mission?

This is a big problem. After all, Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong. Without Sun Quan's order, they would be injustice and even suspected of rebeling the lord. The officials attach great importance to this reputation, which makes everyone very embarrassed.

Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi looked at each other. At this point, they didn't care about so much. Bu Zhi said slowly: "We can first understand Liu Jing's bottom line, which can be regarded as understanding the other party's situation. Of course, Wu Hou made the final decision. I think this is nothing serious. What do you think?"

Everyone agreed, "The Chief Secretary said, it's okay to understand the situation!"

Zhang Zhao said to Yan Yan: "I'm sorry to ask Duke Yan to go to the Han army camp and have another talk with the King of Han!"

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

Everyone was overjoyed and surrounded Yan Yan and left. At this time, Bu Zhi whispered to Zhang Zhao: "I think the key is that person!"

Bu Zhi glanced at Jianye Palace quickly. Zhang Zhao understood what Bu Zhi meant and said, "Let Man go to the tent before talking about the slogan."

Bu Zhi nodded. He knew that he could not talk in depth yet, so he turned around and walked outside Jianye Palace. Zhang Zhao's eyes flashed. If it really didn't work, he could only take the worst.

...........

Yan Qing was led by two Han army guards and came to the central army tent in the Han camp. The guards stood at the door and reported to the tent, "Report to His Highness the King of Han, the envoy of Jianye brought it."

"Please come in!"

Although he used a "please" but he was not as polite as last time. He didn't say anything about the bill, and his tone was also quite stern. Yan Yan was quite nervous and walked into the big bill quickly.

I saw a huge city wood carving in the middle of the tent. Liu Jing and more than a dozen senior military officials surrounded the wood carvings. Yan Yan did not take a closer look and went forward to give a deep salute to Liu Jing, "Yan Yan, please see His Highness the King of Han!"

Liu Jing glanced at Yan Qing and smiled and said, "Mr. Yan might as well help us see what is missing in this wooden city?"

Yan Yan then recognized that the wooden city turned out to be Jianye City. He was shocked and carefully observed and found that the wooden city was made in a vivid way, with city walls, palaces, offices, military camps, and warehouses in all, and the direction and size were completely in line with the real city. Even the flow direction of the Qinhuai River in the city was exactly the same as the actual situation. It can be seen that the Han army had known Jianye City for a long time.

Yan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "The city is impeccable and the details are perfect. It's a pity that the official office was burned down by a fire last night and it no longer exists."

"I see!"

Liu Jing smiled and gave a wink to the next person. The two people immediately took away the two offices, and the Jianye City suddenly became empty. "Is this the right thing?" Liu Jing asked 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. He asked again: "Does Yan Gong come here by his own initiative or have he been ordered by the Marquis of Wu?"

Yan Yan thought of many reasons as soon as he asked Liu Jing in one sentence. Yan Yan knew that he could not hide it from Liu Jing at all. Using Huatou in front of Liu Jing would only backfire. He had to tell the truth: "Report to Your Highness, all the ministers are willing to negotiate with the Han army, but the Marquis of Wu ignored it. Everyone had no choice but to recommend me to the Han army camp, hoping to talk to His Highness the King of Han."

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

Yan Yan felt that he had no room for words. Liu Jing blocked his back with every word he said. He had to sigh and wait for Liu Jing's ultimatum.

Liu Jing walked a few steps behind his hands and said, "I might as well tell Mr. Yan the truth. Since an epidemic broke out in the defenders of Jianye City, I will no longer delay it. I decided to attack the city today. Once the city is siege, the entire Jianye City will be burned. I don't want to see this scene. Mr. Yan might as well bring the message back. Tonight, the Han army will burn Jianye City. Before that, the city will be opened and surrendered, and the soldiers of the army can protect their lives!"

.........

Yan Yan brought back Liu Jing's ultimatum, which caused panic among the officials of Jiangdong in Jianye City. The thing they were most worried about was finally about to happen. Once the Han army burned the city in a fire, no one's life would be saved. Dozens of senior officials from Jiangdong gathered in front of Jianye Palace again and called on Wu Hou to go out of the palace to discuss, but Sun Quan still ignored it, and even the guards didn't know where he was hiding?

Time passed little by little, and the confrontation in front of Jianye Palace never turned out. As the sky was getting dark, the officials were even more worried and rushed to find military advisor Zhang Zhao. Unexpectedly, military advisor Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi disappeared, which made everyone panic.

In the South Gate Military Camp, in an unattractive military camp, Zhang Zhao, Bu Zhi and Lu Meng people were conducting the final negotiations, but time could no longer be delayed. They had no other way except for forcing Sun Quan to surrender, but there was a lot of rules to do when they forced Sun Quan to surrender. Zhang Zhao had a more clever way, but Lu Meng needed cooperation.

"There is not much time left. If we don't surrender, we may have survived and died with Jianye. Now the plan is to force Wu Hou to make the final decision."

When Zhang Zhao said this, he sighed slightly, but his eyes looked at Lu Meng. The implication was to let Lu Meng come forward. Lu Meng pondered for a moment and said, "There are also generals under my command who want to open the city to surrender. Why don't they just offer Jianye?"

Bu Zhi said on the side: "General Xiancheng and Wuhou surrendered were not the same thing. General Xiancheng was a prisoner of war. When Wuhou surrendered, we surrendered, and the meaning was completely different."

Zhang Zhao added: "And I don't want any accidents in the Marquis of Wu. If we make a decisive move, wouldn't we become sinners? It would be better for him to offer the city and surrender, so we need to find someone to advise Wu."

"I know there is someone who is willing to stand up and advise the Marquis of Wu, but he is afraid that he will not order 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 was drinking alone. He had almost drunk his depressed wine these days. In just a few days, his hair was half white. Seeing that the Jiangdong Building was about to collapse, how could he explain to his father and brother?

Sun Quan didn't know the situation outside, nor did he want to know. He just wanted to be intoxicated in the wine and forget all his worries. There were more than a dozen personal guards around Sun Quan. They didn't dare to tell Sun Quan the truth, nor did they dare to persuade him to surrender. Sun Quan killed two guards who persuaded him to surrender, making everyone silent.

Sun Quan cried and sang, drinking wildly, and was drunk without realizing that he drank all the wine in his glass and reached out to get the wine pot, but found that the wine pot was empty, so he whispered: "Get the wine again!"

At this time, a scream came from outside, followed by a loud scream, and a sound of swords hitting, which surprised Sun Quan. He stood up with the wall and staggered for two steps. The door was slammed open, and dozens of fully armed soldiers rushed in. For a general, it was Dong Xi, who held a big knife in his hand and looked at Sun Quan coldly.

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

"In another half an hour, the Han army will burn the city with fire. No one can survive. Does Wu Hou know?"

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

"These guards concealed the news and misled the big news. They deserved to be killed. I have all killed them. Now I ask the Marquis of Wu to order the city to surrender and save the lives of ten thousand innocent soldiers."

Sun Quan was furious and pointed at Dong Xi and cursed: "Are you treason?"

"The humble position is not a rebellion, but to save the lives of the Marquis of Wu and his soldiers. The situation is critical. Please give the order!"

Sun Quan drew out the sword on the wall and shouted: "If you want to die, everyone will die together. I will never surrender. I will kill you, the rebel!"

He swung his sword and slashed at Dong Xi. Dong Xi used a big sword to hit him, and the sword was broken into two pieces. Sun Quan was unstable and fell to the ground. Dong Xi winked. Several soldiers stepped forward to hold Sun Quan down. Dong Xi sighed and said, "It is not the original intention, but in order to save the lives of Wu Hou and the soldiers, I have to avenge Wu Hou first."

The soldiers blocked Sun Quan's mouth and pushed him out. Sun Quan hated him, but couldn't shout out loud...

In front of Jianye Palace, nearly 10,000 soldiers and dozens of senior officials gathered at the steps, waiting for Sun Quan to come out to announce his surrender. The crowd was dense, and everyone was anxious and expectant, with only a quarter of an hour left before the final deadline.

At this time, a bell rang, and the soldiers suddenly burst into cheers. Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi accompanied Wu Hou Sun Quan and walked out. Although the light flashed and the face of Wu Hou could not be seen clearly, everyone recognized that this person was Sun Quan.

"Sun Quan" said nothing, sat down behind the table, stepped forward, opened the brocade scroll and announced: "God's will is no longer violated. In order to avoid the war in Jiangdong, for the sake of thousands of people, and for all the soldiers to go home to reunite with their parents, wife and children, I decided to give up resistance..."

More than 10,000 soldiers burst into cheers again, everyone hugged each other and cried happily. Although Lu Meng vaguely guessed that the "Sun Quan" sitting behind the table was not true, now, this is the only way.

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

...........

In September of the 22nd year of Jian'an, Sun Quan issued an order to give up resistance. The last ten thousand Jiangdong troops trapped in Jianye City surrendered. Jianye City fell. The fall of Jianye City also meant that the Jiangdong regime was destroyed, which meant that Liu Jing unified the south except Jiaozhou.
