The envoy came to the city gate, looked at the soldiers waiting in formation, and directly identified himself.
“Chen Gong’s envoy?
Wait a moment, I will report to the prefect immediately."
Hearing that the other party was Chen Gong's envoy, the soldiers outside the city did not dare to neglect and went directly to report to the prefect Yan Yan.
"You said Chen Gong's envoy has arrived outside the city?"
Yan Yan couldn't help being stunned when he heard the news. He knew that Chen Gong wiped out the Yizhou Navy in the first battle, but why did you send people here now?
"Sir, Chen Gong's envoy must have come here to persuade you to surrender."
Wang Yan, the county magistrate under Yan Yan's command, directly cupped his fist at him.
"Well, drive that man away. If Chen Gong wants to fight, I will fight. There is absolutely no surrender at all."
Yan Yan nodded to Wang Yan. Although the Yizhou navy was completely wiped out, he had raised another 30,000 troops in Jiangzhou city. Relying on the strength of Jiangzhou city defense, Chen Gong would definitely lose his troops.
"Sir, it is said that the two armies are fighting without killing the envoys. Let's listen to what Chen Gong wants to do. It is unbecoming to expel them now."
Hearing Yan Yan's words, Wang Yan was also stunned. It's really inappropriate for someone to send someone here so kindly that you just drive them away without even seeing him.
"Okay, then send someone to let him in, and prepare a swordsman outside the door to give him a shock first."
Wang Yan's words were not unreasonable, but Yan Yan did not want to give Chen Gong's envoy a good look, so he directly ordered the swordsman to go out and give the enemy a powerful blow.
"promise."
Wang Yan glanced at Yan Yan, "Why are you wielding a knife and ax now? You are simply stern with your voice, which makes you look a little scared. But there is no other way. Since someone wants to play like this, he can only hold his fists and take orders."
Soon Chen Gong's envoy was brought into the city and went straight to the outside of the prefect's mansion. Looking at the row of half-naked axemen in front of him, holding a sword with a ghost head, the envoy was also stunned.
Which one does Yan Yan want to play?
Show off your power?
As for that?
"The sword gallery."
Yan Yan's personal guard commander shouted directly, and the swords were placed together, and a narrow corridor of swords appeared in front of the envoy.
"Invite the messenger to come."
Yan Yan's voice came directly from the house.
"Haha, why bother?"
The messenger shook his head slightly and walked directly towards the prefect's mansion along the sword corridor in front of him.
Not everyone dares to walk in the Knife Gallery. It requires a strong psychological quality, because you don't know if a knife will fall from the sky and hit you directly.
The person who can be selected by Chen Gong to be the envoy is naturally not an ordinary person, and since Yan Yan agreed to meet with him, he did not want to die at the hands of a knife or axe, so Chen Li walked all the way without changing his face or heart.
Jump, completely ignoring the sword above your head.
Seeing Chen Li walking without changing his expression, Yan Yan couldn't help but nod her head even though they were in a hostile relationship now.
"Chen Li, under the command of Liangzhou Mu, pays homage to the prefect."
Chen Li came to Yan Yan, saluted him directly with fists in his hands, and at the same time reported his name.
"We have a hostile relationship. Originally I didn't want to see you, but if I didn't see you, I would be a bit conceited. Now that I have seen you, I know your purpose of coming. I, Yan Yan, serve under Master Liu Yan. He
You have been kind to me, and it is impossible for me to surrender. You can go back."
Although Yan Yan admired Chen Li very much, everyone had their own priorities, and he didn't want to hear what Chen Li had to say.
"Chen Li admires your high righteousness, but do you know who is calling the shots in Chengdu now?"
Chen Li was stunned when he heard Yan Yan's words. He let himself in and walked through the knife gallery again. In the end, he didn't say a word and just let himself go back. You can't do this to others.
"Um?
What do you mean by this?"
Although Yan Yan didn't want to listen to Chen Li's nonsense, his words obviously meant something else.
"Sir, do you know that although the current ruler of Yizhou still has the surname Liu, it is no longer Liu Yan's. Liu Yan rationally cooperated with the Southern Barbarians and ceded the four counties of Yinan in exchange for the Southern Barbarians sending troops to support.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, united with Zhang Song, Huang Quan and other local nobles in Yizhou to launch a mutiny. Liu Yan was defeated and captured, and was forced to relinquish the position of governor to Liu Bei, which means that your lord is gone."
Chen Li directly told Yan Yan about the situation in Chengdu.
"What did you say?
This is impossible."
Hearing Chen Li's words, Yan Yan was immediately stunned, as if he was listening to a book from heaven, and it was difficult to accept it at all.
"My lord is approaching Jiangzhou with more than 200,000 water troops. There is no need to tell lies to your lord. Chen Gongzhou Mu also knows that your lord is a loyal person. If there is nothing wrong with Chengdu, he will definitely not send me here. I hope your lord will
Mingjian.”
Chen Li clasped his fists at Yan Yan again. He knew that Yan Yan definitely didn't believe what he said. Not only did he think that he was dreaming, but Chen Gong also thought it was a dream. But that's the fact. Even if you don't believe it, it just happened. You can't change it if you don't believe it.
What.
"Zezhong, help me send the envoy down to rest first. I want to calm down."
Glancing at Chen Li, Yan Yan didn't know what to do for a while. He could only look at Wang Yan beside him and asked him to arrange for Chen Li to rest first. If it was true as Chen Li said, then he
He had to think carefully about where to go.
"promise."
Wang Yan cupped his fists at Yan Yan and then came directly to Chen Li.
"Messenger, please."
"Thank you, sir."
Chen Li did not hesitate. Judging from the current situation, Liu Bei's men should not have arrived here yet, so he would have the upper hand, and Yan Yan could still fight for it.
After Wang Yan arranged to return Chen Li, he turned back and came to Yan Yan.
"Zezhong, do you think what Chen Li said is true or false?
Will the Lord really understand the Southern Barbarians and cede the four counties of Yinan to them?
Does Liu Bei really dare to commit a crime like this and launch a mutiny?"
Yan Yan glanced at Wang Yan, with a trace of doubt and confusion in his eyes. He really couldn't understand why Liu Yan did this?
Doesn't he know that this is an act of self-destruction of the Great Wall?
And don't Liu Bei and the Yizhou nobles know that mutiny now is equivalent to cutting off an arm and giving the foreign enemy Yuan Shu an advantage?
He really doesn't understand.
"Sir, according to Chen Li's logic, what he said is very likely to be true. Liu Bei's ambition is obvious. He once served under Yuan Shu, and later he rebelled against Yuan Shu and occupied Yanzhou.
If the lord really exchanges the land of the four counties of Yinan for the Southern Barbarians to send troops, this will definitely be an excellent opportunity for Liu Bei, and the local nobles in Yizhou have always been frustrated under the lord.
The two parties are in cahoots with each other and will definitely launch a mutiny if they get along."
Wang Yan glanced at Yan Yan and directly expressed his analysis.
"If this is the case, I will definitely not let Liu Bei and those Yizhou nobles go."
After hearing Wang Yan's analysis, Yan Yan immediately jumped into the crime, her eyes full of anger.
"Sir, the key now is not Liu Bei, but us. If Liu Bei really takes down the lord, then where should we go?"
Seeing Yan Yan's anger, Wang Yan frowned. The key now is not Liu Bei or Liu Yan, but Brazil County. What should they do? Fight or surrender, continue to mix with Liu Bei, or change their banner.
Hang out with Yuan Shu.
"Now that the matter has not been confirmed, we cannot make a rash decision and send people to Chengdu immediately. I want to get accurate information. If this is really the case, I, Yan Yan, will send troops north to help the lord take down this despicable villain Liu Bei.
.”
Although Yan Yan has not confirmed Chen Li's news, if it is true, then he will defect to Yuan Shu and use Yuan Shu's troops to avenge Liu Yan.
"promise."
After hearing Yan Yan's words, Wang Yan nodded and went directly to arrange for people to go to Chengdu to investigate the news there.
Just two days after the people sent by Wang Yan left, the people sent by Liu Bei also worked hard and finally arrived in Jiangzhou City.
"Sir, people from Chengdu are here."
Soon Wang Yan came to Yan Yan and reported directly to him the news about the people coming from Chengdu.
"Well, if someone comes from Chengdu now, it means that what Chen Li said is true. Liu Bei sent someone to appease me, the governor of Ba County."
When Wang Yan heard about the people coming from Chengdu, he immediately understood that what Chen Liyuan said must be true, and Liu Yan had really been overthrown by Liu Bei.
"Then what should we do now?
Will the people from Chengdu be seen or not?"
Looking at Yan Yan, whose face was as dark as water, Wang Yan couldn't help but tremble.
"Haha, see you, why not? I want to see what bargaining chips Liu Bei can offer for me."
A glint flashed in Yan Yan's eyes, he wanted to see what Liu Bei's people would do.
"promise."
Wang Yan directly clasped his fists and went to bring Liu Bei's men in.
