he.

If it had been ten years ago, no matter who told him the current situation, he would have been amused to death.

Liu Qi becoming emperor? What a joke!

But now, all that remains on his face is a wry smile.

Liu Qi not only became emperor, but also subdued his son.

Putting away his endless thoughts, Sun Jian went to see Zhou Yu again.

"Both you and Bo Fu recognize our emperor?"

Zhou Yu did not say much, but said: "Ming Gong and Your Majesty are familiar with each other. They have known each other for far longer than the time we have known each other. His wisdom far exceeds that of Zhou Yu and Bo Fu. I think that for Your Majesty, Ming Gong

See it more clearly than we can.”

Sun Jian frowned and stared at Zhou Yu closely.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Jian very calmly.

"Zhou Gongjin, are you Liu Qi's minister or Sun's subordinate now?"

Zhou Yu said righteously: "Zhou was brought to the general's army by Bo Fu back then. He is naturally the general's subordinate, but the general is your majesty's minister!"

Sun Jian narrowed his eyes.

"General, Bo Fu has surrendered to Your Majesty. His temperament is best known to the General. Since Bo Fu has sincerely surrendered to Your Majesty, what do you think the reason is, General?"

"this……"

"General, forgive Zhou Yu's words. Bo Fu gave up his temporary anger so that the Sun family can be evergreen for generations to come. Don't you understand this, general? Compared with your personal honor and disgrace, shouldn't the interests of the family be the same?

Is it more important?"

Sun Jian let out a long sigh after hearing this, and then he patted the table and said, "You have said so, Bo Fu has done this, what else can I say?"

Zhou Yu made a long salute and said: "General, please be clear!"

After saying that, Zhou Yu took out another imperial edict and said: "General, your Majesty has decreed that the general be the shepherd of Yangzhou and take charge of the military affairs in the east of the Yangtze River. He also asked the prince to lead his troops north to attack Guangling and open up territory for the Han Dynasty."

Sun Jian hesitated a little when he heard this.

Zhou Yu said: "The princes must not hesitate. Now the counties of Yanzhou and Yuzhou have been successively captured by the generals in the court. Only Xuzhou in the northeast of the Yangtze River has not yet been conquered, but it can only be conquered day and night. Zhuge Lingjun and Li Wenda

The general has already stationed in Pei. If the prince does not take any action, when the world is unified, the prince will not have any achievements in front of your majesty. How can he stand among the generals in the court?"

These words awakened Sun Jian.

Judging from the current situation, Liu Qi's unification of the world is already unstoppable. If he wants to submit, he must assess the situation and accumulate political and military capital for himself, so that he can secure a place for the Sun family after the world is unified.

Now that things have happened, it is completely unnecessary to preserve strength.

"Okay, Gong Jin, you go back and report to His Majesty immediately. Sun will immediately order all the soldiers to go north to Xuzhou and capture Guangling for Your Majesty!"

…

The situation in the world was chaotic, and news spread to the north one after another. Cao Cao gathered some remaining soldiers, but he was unable to stop Liu Qi's strong offensive, so he could only temporarily return north and retract the battle line to the south of the Yellow River.

Anyone with a discerning eye can already see that Cao Jun no longer has the ability to defend Yanzhou.

Under such circumstances, one family began to consider its position again.

This family is the Li family of the Cheng family.

The Li family's assets and power, including its foundation, are all in Yanzhou. It is impossible for them to give up the power structure they have carefully built in Yanzhou - whoever occupies Yanzhou is their master.

Since Cao Cao could no longer occupy Yanzhou, the Li family naturally had to choose another master.

Under the request and coercion of the family patriarchs, Li Jin, the leader of the Li clan, could not remain stubborn. He wrote a surrender form and sent someone to Liu Qi's military camp to express his sincerity to Liu Qi and ask Liu Qi to accept them.

According to Li Jin's thinking, the Li family is the most powerful family in Yanzhou. It has a big tree and deep roots, and has a large number of followers, no less than the shepherds of the princes. If Liu Qi saw that he had asked for surrender, he might not be happy to accept it.

But he never expected that Li Jin would be wrong.

Liu Qi did not accept Li directly, but put forward a condition to the other party.

If you want to surrender to the imperial court, you must agree to one of their conditions.

Liu Qi did not state this condition directly, but expressed it indirectly in obscure words in his reply.
