Chapter 698: Death of King Shu

A breeze blew by, and the willow leaves fell rustling.
King Shu looked at the elder brother in front of him incredibly, only then did he notice that the elder brother he had worshipped and respected before was no longer the energetic and imposing prince.
On the contrary, he saw a lot of vicissitudes and helplessness in his brother.
For a moment he didn't know what to say, and there was a brief silence between the two.
In the end, the three princes broke the silence and said: "Fifth brother, this is the last chance for you and me to survive. You can still keep the glory and wealth if you claim to the emperor. If you continue to persevere, this Yizhou city will change hands tomorrow."
King Shu’s chest was ups and downs violently, and he said to the three princes: "Eldest brother, when King Zhao came to attack the Kingdom of Shu, the Foolish brother did not surrender, how could he choose to surrender at this time? He Xiao Ming wanted to take the Kingdom of Shu. Step on my corpse."
"Fifth brother!" Xiao Zhen was anxious. One of his wishes to Xiao Ming this time was to save King Shu's life, but he underestimated King Shu's prejudice against Xiao Ming.
Moreover, during his five-year career as a feudal lord, he has enjoyed the superiority of self-reliance. How can he give up the power in his hands now?
"The eldest brother doesn't need to say any more. I used to listen to you everything. This time you listen to me." King Shu made up his mind when he received the order. "This city of Yizhou was sent by Xiao Ming. With artillery, 20,000 people couldn't break Yizhou City, and Qingzhou was thousands of miles away from Yizhou. After this failure, he no longer sent troops easily."
The third prince became more anxious. He said: "Fuzzy, you don't understand Xiao Ming at all, and you don't understand firearms at all. The firearms Xiao Ming gives you cannot defeat the firearms his army is using."
King Shu couldn't hear what the three princes were talking about. He only remembered the grievances between himself and Xiao Ming, and he firmly believed that Xiao Ming would kill himself.
Because of this, he stubbornly refused to surrender, and after Xiao Ming ascended the throne, he was even more nervous.
"The eldest brother doesn't need to persuade anymore. The food at this table is going to be cold soon. Brother Yu should accompany the eldest brother for a few drinks." King Shu said.
The third prince said angrily: "It's not the time to drink. General Di Ying outside the city only gave me one hour. If there is no result within one hour, his battleship will bombard Yizhou City. Everything is late."
In the face of his brother's reproach, King Shu still shook his head. He could claim a minister to anyone, but he would not be a minister to Xiao Ming.
The two in Chang'an didn't deal with each other, and they had fought several times. In his opinion, returning is also dead, and there is still a chance for a battle.
At this moment he got up and said to the guards of the palace: "Protect the king's brother."
The guard immediately stood behind the three princes when he heard the words, and King Shu continued: "Brother, sit down, brother Fool will come and go."
The third prince got up and wanted to stop him, but the royal guards blocked his way.
At this time, he let out a long sigh, Xiao Ming had expected everything today, and because of this he sent 20,000 horses to Shu.
There is also a man in Chang'an who can support here at any time.
Things had reached this point and he seemed to be out of control, and he sat down dejectedly.
Di Ying has been waiting on the battleship outside the city. As time passed, his patience was also a little bit news.
While he was hesitating whether to let the battleship bombard Yizhou City, he suddenly saw that there were many more soldiers at the head of Yizhou City. These soldiers walked to the cannon on the city wall one by one, and the torches in his hand were ready to ignite at any time.
This scene completely caused Di Ying to give up her illusion, and it was clear that King Shu would resist to the end now.
After discussing with the captain of the battleship, the battleships in the Procyon lined up immediately, preparing to bombard the city wall.
Shu is known as the country of abundance, especially Yizhou is densely covered with water. The South River is very wide, but it is very conducive to the operations of warships.
And beside the South River is this Yizhou City.
At this time, the warship was docked on the north bank of the South River, and the distance from the north bank to Yizhou City was a full kilometer, because the guns had a relatively long range, enough to shell Yizhou City from here.
After setting up the array, Di Ying motioned to the captain, preparing to launch a warning shot at Yizhou City. If King Shu still persists, the real war will begin.
"Boom boom boom..."
As the artillery fired in unison, the battleship's shells directly hit the Yizhou city wall, and several craters were immediately created in the Yizhou city wall as the smoke and dust flew.
The loud noise of artillery resounded throughout Yizhou City in an instant. At this time, the wealthy people who were still drinking in the palace were anxious.
"Oh, it must be a fight," said a rich family.
"The king of Shu insists on going his own way, and now he doesn't pay any attention to us at all.
"We can't continue to wait like this. The army from Qingzhou is the king's division, and the king of Shu is rebellious. If we follow him, this is the same rebellion." One said.
"The point is that it shouldn't be too late. We will go back to summon the trilogy to take down the King of Shu, otherwise this army will not know what it will do when it enters the city!"
While everyone was talking about it, a slave servant of the palace suddenly arrived in the main hall and said a few words to a rich family sitting down on the left.
"Brother Song, what's the matter?" asked the old man on the opposite right.
The person called Brother Song said: "The third prince Xiao Zhen is in the palace and was watched by the king of Shu. Now only this Xiao Zhen can save Yizhou City. After all, he is carrying the emperor. The will comes and can stop the army outside the city." The slave servant just now was his eyeliner in the Shu Palace.
"It should not be too late, we will see the third prince now, let him preside over the affairs of Yizhou, lest the king of Shu will come here."
Everyone reached an agreement and immediately came out of the main hall to the backyard of the palace.
The tycoons were aggressive, and the guards of the palace did not dare to stop them for a while. They soon saw the three princes.
At this time, the rich family surnamed Song said: "The third prince, Yizhou is in danger. For the people of Yizhou City, I hope that the third prince can stop the King of Shu.
Xiao Zhen also heard the sound of the artillery. He knew in his heart that it must be the king of Shu who dispatched troops to anger Di Ying.
He sighed. In any case, he could not protect King Shu. If so, he could only protect himself.
So he said: "In that case~EbookFREE.me~ I hope you can help me."
After all, under the protection of the rich family, he went straight to the north city, when the king of Shu was commanding soldiers to defend and attack here.
The sudden arrival of the three princes caught the king of Shu by surprise. He looked at the wealthy clans again, and he had already thought about it.
He smiled sadly, "You all betrayed me."
"Fifth brother, the one who knows the current affairs is a good man. You will only kill more innocent people. I would advise you again, return." The third prince persuaded.
King Shu shook his head, his eyes suddenly became indifferent, and he suddenly said to the soldiers behind him: "Kill them!"
At this moment, the three princes were completely disappointed. He suddenly pulled out a short-barreled musket from the sleeve cage and fired a shot at King Shu.
Because the distance between the two sides was only two meters, King Shu had no way to dodge, and the bullet instantly sank into King Shu's chest.
The blood flowed down the bullet holes, and the King of Shu slowly fell down...
