"Your name is Huan Lin..."

Outside the forest, Liu Yu looked at the commander of the Jiaozhou army kneeling on the ground.

He stroked his chin and searched the system for relevant deeds of the person in front of him.

A big family in Jiaozhou.

Was whipped to death by Shi Xie.

The ending was not good, but now he is a person with a word of law in Jiaozhou.

"My lord, I surrender!"

Huan Lin, who was crawling on the ground, looked up and shouted hurriedly.

Finding that Liu Yu did not speak, he continued.

"The Huan family still has many forces in Jiaozhou City."

"There are also many serfs in the farms outside the city."

"All can be presented to you as soldiers."

"In addition, I am very familiar with the terrain and things in Jiaozhou."

"I can help you govern here!"

Huan Lin's calculations were very shrewd.

He knew very well that outsiders had to build up a local force when they came to Jiaozhou.

Otherwise, how to manage the local people and many natives?

The complicated relationship is different from the situation in the Central Plains where all the people are Han people.

With someone like him who is familiar with the local situation, the other party can take over this land faster.

Liu Yu narrowed his eyes.

Standing, he looked down at Huan Lin, who was crawling on the ground and secretly looking at him.

"You think too much."

Liu Yu was full of disdain.

"We Tanghai don't need a villain like you."

"Those who sell out for glory, die!"

As soon as the harsh words fell, Xu Chu and Dian Wei grabbed Huan Lin on the left and right, and easily picked him up from the ground like a chicken.

He turned around and left.

"No... don't!"

"Our Huan family is rich!"

"All can be given to you, sir!"

"And..."

Bang!

Dian Wei punched Huan Lin in the stomach, and a fierce light flashed in his narrowed eyes.

Xu Chu looked disdainful, "With your little money, do you think we in Tanghai can appreciate it?"

"Don't show off your wealth in front of us Tanghai people. We are many times richer than you!"

Xu Chu's scolding was loud, but Huan Lin turned a deaf ear to it.

The huge pain tortured his stomach, making him unconscious.

Dizzy, he couldn't control his saliva, and his eyes lost focus.

Clang!

Huan Lin, who had just recovered a little, heard the sound of a knife being drawn.

He opened his eyes wide and hadn't spoken yet, but a huge pain came from his neck.

Then his eyes went black and he knew nothing anymore.

Liu Yu ordered Tanghai soldiers: "Gather the prisoners from Jiaozhou and divide them into groups for guarding."

"Leave some people to manage these prisoners according to Tanghai regulations."

"Others, follow me to the Jiaozhou government!"

The military order was given, and Tanghai soldiers immediately took action.

All soldiers did not want to stay to guard the prisoners.

But someone had to guard them.

At this time, Tanghai could only solve it in its usual way.

Draw lots.

One out of twenty.

The people who didn't catch the winner were ecstatic.

The one who caught the winner out of the twenty was full of sorrow.

There was only one person out of the twenty, and someone was able to catch him first.

The other nineteen Tanghai soldiers laughed so hard that they fell backwards.

One by one, they passed by the soldier who was holding the lot, staring with eyes wide open and frozen in place, and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

As a man, you must know how to give.

Guarding the prisoners is also of great significance.

The division of labor in battle is different, and guarding prisoners is just another kind of battle.

"I don't trust you!" The soldier who drew the lot roared.

He was in a bad mood, and those people wanted to make fun of him. It was terrible.

But there was nothing he could do, because his luck was too good.

Drawing lots makes people depressed but they have no temper.

The soldiers arranged the people who stayed behind by themselves, and then followed Liu Yu to the Jiaozhou government.

Interrogated some Jiaozhou soldiers separately.

The information obtained indicated that Jiaozhou only sent this army.

All other soldiers stayed in the city to defend.

They felt that even if 50,000 soldiers could not defeat the Tang Navy, they could at least create a lot of trouble.

The Tang Navy could not threaten the Jiaozhou government in a short time.

Led by Liu Yu, the Tang Navy moved forward rapidly.

Although Jiaozhou has many mountains and forests, it can not cause any obstacles to the Tang Navy.

...

Jiaozhou government.

In the hall of the official temple, Shi Xie heard the news brought back by the defeated soldiers on the front line, and he was stunned on the couch for a long time without saying a word.

His eyes became blurred, and he couldn't understand how the Tang Navy had such a strong fighting force?

Ten thousand versus fifty thousand.

The Jiaozhou Army still had the advantage of terrain.

Fighting in a very familiar forest.

But they were easily defeated by the other side.

Shi Xie looked at the soldiers kneeling in the hall.

Covered in blood.

The dried blood,At this moment, a unique bloody smell was emitting.

It stimulated the sense of smell of Shi Xie and the officials in the hall.

Dark red blood stains were mottled on the clothes.

It made Shi Xie and the officials of Jiaozhou jump.

The Tang Navy was completely beyond their imagination!

Shi Xie quickly thought about how to solve this huge crisis in his heart.

But he had no clue at all.

Ask for peace?

Surrender?

It seems that there are only these two options.

Or... defend hard?

The opponent came from afar. As long as they hold on for a few days, the Tang Navy will not be able to break through the city, and they will retreat on their own when the military rations run out.

This is also a solution.

But Shi Xie hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

The combat power displayed by the Tang Navy made him feel that defending the city was definitely not a simple matter.

If the city was broken, he would not be able to leave anything.

He would definitely be beheaded on the spot.

If they seek peace or surrender now, they may still be able to keep their family property.

They may even get a job.

In the hall of the official temple, Shi Xie was not the only one thinking.

Other Jiaozhou officials were also thinking about what to do next.

After this battle, they no longer wanted to fight with the Tang navy.

Unlike Shi Xie.

If Tang Hai took over here, he would also need officials to govern.

Their surrender was nothing more than changing the master, and continuing to do what they should do.

The idea of ​​surrender spread among the officials.

Many people looked at each other, and from each other's faces and eyes, they could feel that their ideas were similar.

"My Lord Governor, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not!"

An official stood up in the crowd.

"Speak." Shi Xie said briefly.

"The Tang navy is coming fiercely, and Jiaozhou is not strong enough." The official said while observing Shi Xie's face.

"Why don't we open the city gates and surrender?"

"It will also keep Jiaozhou safe."

"Don't let the people suffer from the Tang navy."

"If we continue to hold on, the Tang navy will surely kill people after breaking through the city."

"By then, the people of Jiaozhou will probably be caught in a tragic war."

"The governor is now asking for mercy from Tang Hai, which is really for the people of Jiaozhou."

The official's words were agreed by other Jiaozhou officials.

They spoke out one after another, telling about the sufferings of the people.

It seemed that if Shi Xie didn't agree, he would kill everyone in Jiaozhou.

It was all Shi Xie's responsibility.

Shi Xie, with no expression on his face, was already cursing in his heart.

But he knew that surrender was his best option at the moment.
