Chapter 563: Siege of the City
When Zhang Yi heard this, his breathing suddenly became short.
Perhaps Ji Sui's exaggeration of the destruction of the Yue Kingdom is an exaggeration, but there is no doubt that the land of Wu was occupied by the Chu State, and the only hope is to retreat to the homeland of the Yue State.
It's just that Gongzi Yu may be able to retreat, but he Zhangyi can't retreat, and the Wu people and the Yue people have been fighting each other over the years, and they have been on the same footing. If he followed Gongziyu to flee to the hometown of Yueguo, I am afraid that he would not have to wait for the Chu army to kill, and the Yue people would be able to kill him to vent their anger.
Don't mention whether Gongziyu will keep him, if he really arrives in Yuedi, it will be good if Gongziyu can protect himself.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi's face suddenly turned blue and white.
Palace.
Gongzi Yu learned that Zhaohua and the guards of the North Gate had all betrayed, and there were still rumors in various parts of the city that Gongzi Xiang, who was going to be a hostage in the Chu State, was the king of Yue, and was immediately frightened, and hurriedly remembered the defenders in the city, and immediately ordered: "Pass the edict, please come to discuss the matter."
Spread the edict to immediately block the city gate and let the defenders of the city go to the north gate to support.
The edict said that the Chu people planned to destroy my Yue country, and now that the Yue country is in danger of life and death, please ask the major families in the city to defend the city.
Spread the edict and call on the people of the city to help defend the city. โ
Just when Gongziyu was anxiously waiting for the ministers and generals in the city to come to discuss the matter, someone came to report:
"Newspaper... The king, General Zhang Yi's subordinates under the leadership of the deputy general went to reinforce the North Gate, but the Beicheng road was blocked by the rebels with carriages, and it was temporarily difficult to advance. โ
"Newspaper... The king, the defenders of the former Gongshiyu Division, most of them stayed in the barracks and did not come out, and only a small number of defenders went to reinforce the north gate. โ
"What?" Gongzi Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and then said with a hideous face: "How can this be reasonable, when the national disaster is at the head, how can you ignore the military order and should be killed, these generals are all traitors and should be killed." โ
Gongziyu's anger did not subside, and someone came to report: "Oh no, it's not good, Gongzijiu just rode out of the east gate on a fast horse, and his whereabouts are unknown." โ
Before Gongziyu could react, another person came to report: "Your Majesty, the ministers in the city heard that the North Gate was lost, and the Chu people had declared war on the Yue Kingdom, and they fled one after another, and now the nobles' carriages have blocked the road in the East City, and everyone is ready to flee from the East Gate." โ
"This..." Gongzi Yu was stunned, his face was pale, his teeth were bumping, his tongue was trembling, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Then, a person quickly ran into the main hall and reported: "King, it's not good, Shangqing took refuge in the Chu people, and came forward in the city to persuade the defenders who went to support, and now the Chu people Zhao Hua is leading the rebels to the palace with Zhang Yi. โ
โยทยทยทโ
Gongziyu was frightened when he heard this, and first sat on the throne with no strength, and after a while, a voice suddenly appeared in Gongziyu's mind: The widow has not officially ascended the throne, has not yet become the king of Yue, and the widow does not want to die.
Thinking about it, Gongziyu remembered that the kings in the city had fled, and immediately said loudly in his mind: No, the widow still has a chance, although Wucheng cannot be defended, but the capital is still there, and the widow can still go to the meeting.
Thinking about it, a surge of strength immediately surged out of his body, and he jumped up from the throne in an instant, and ran out with his legs.
It's just that Gongzi Yu, who has been pampered for many years, drives when he goes out, and travels when he enters the boat, has only run more than 100 steps before he is out of breath.
The other side.
The rebels led by Zhao Hua and Zhang Yi are quickly approaching the palace.
Because the people of Wucheng heard that the war had resumed and closed their doors, at this time, the wide streets were empty, and the army quickly moved forward.
When Zhao slipped outside the palace, he ran into a panicked Gongzi Yu running out of the palace gate with a group of guards.
Outside the palace gate, there was a sudden stalemate, and the whole audience was silent and deadly.
"Goo-toot!"
In the solidified atmosphere, the sound of swallowing saliva suddenly resounded throughout the audience, breaking the instant suffocation.
Then, Zhao slipped his eyes coldly, waved his hand, surrounded him by the soldier Gongzi Yu, and then said, "King, surrender!" โ
Seeing this, Gongziyu swallowed his saliva, groaned for a while, and then showed an expectant look, looked at Zhao Slip affectionately and said: "I don't know if Yaqing can look at the old love, just don't see the widow, let the widow have a way to live." โ
Zhao Slip shook his head when he heard this.
Seeing this, Gongziyu looked at Zhang Yi behind Zhao Slip expectantly, and said in an extremely eager tone: "Shangqing! โ
Sensing Gongziyu's endless expectations, Zhang Yi's heart tingled faintly, and he opened his mouth, but he just glanced at Zhao Li, who had a resolute attitude, and then sighed, raised his head, looked into the void, and was silent for a long time.
Seeing that his Shangqing and Yaqing all rejected him, Gongziyu's heart suddenly felt like a knife, and then he said angrily: "Yaqing, the widow asks himself if he treats the widow well, why does the widow put the widow to death, and he is not even willing to give up a way of life to the widow." โ
Zhao Slip was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Although the king treats his ministers well, but the king of the king bears the worries of the king, and he will be the courtier of the king of Chu after all." โ
Gongzi Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said urgently: "The widow has already ceded Huaibei to the Chu State, if the King of Chu is not satisfied, the widow can also give Huainan to the King of Chu!" In this case, can the widow be spared? โ
Zhao Slip shook his head.
Gongzi Yu saw that this condition could not meet the Chu State or Zhaohua, and hurriedly said: "There is also this Wu land, Wu land can also be ceded to the Chu State, as long as Yaqing lets the widow have a way to live, let the widow return to Yuedi, and the widow can go to the king to claim the king and be the minister of the king of Chu." โ
Zhao Hua sighed, shook his head again, and said: "The king, not only the land of Wu, the homeland of the Yue Kingdom, but also the King of Chu wants, this time, the King of Chu wants the entire Yue Kingdom." โ
Gongzi Yu stiffened and cursed: "The king of Chu has such a great appetite, destroying the country and cutting off the blood sacrifice, isn't he afraid of becoming the second in the Qi country?" โ
Zhao Slip was silent when he heard this.
Seeing this, Gongziyu had no choice but to beg: "Yaqing, now that the widow is already a lost dog, please Yaqing be kind and let the widow leave here, and the widow promises that he will only be an ordinary person in the future, can you?" โ
Zhao Slip's face turned cold: "King, please don't embarrass yourself, let Ben do it himself." โ
As he spoke, Zhao slipped his hand, and the surrounding soldiers immediately slowly moved closer to Gongziyu.
Seeing this, Gongzi Yu was in a cold sweat, looking left and right, and when the soldiers approached within three steps, he finally knelt down to Zhao in despair and said, "The widow is willing to surrender!" โ
On the other side, Zhao Ying led the army to the north gate, only to see more than 20 soldiers guarding the north gate of the city gate, but there was no fighting on the city gate and the city wall, which was completely different from the expected fierce battle.
Although there were still shouts of killing in the city, and although the blood stains at the city gate had not dried, Zhao Ying was still suspicious in his heart.
Just when Zhao Ying hesitated, Ji Sui ran out of the city alone, came to Zhao Ying and saluted: "General Zhao Ying, in the next Ji Sui, I will wait for the general here on the order of General Zhao Sui." โ
When Zhao Ying heard this, he immediately asked, "Where is General Zhao Slip?" โ
Ji Sui said with a smile: "General Hui, not long ago, Zhang Yi, the secretary of the Yue Kingdom, surrendered to the battle and persuaded most of the defenders in the city to surrender, at this moment, General Zhaohua is going to the Yue Palace to capture Gongziyu." โ
Zhao Ying was shocked when he heard this.
This incident was too unexpected, the Chu army was still outside the city, and as a result, Wucheng, the capital of the Yue Kingdom, was captured.
Not only is the credit for breaking the city gone, but even Gongzi Yu has to be captured by Zhaohua.
Thinking about it, Zhao Ying's face suddenly sank.
If Gongzi Yu falls into the hands of Zhao Slip, then Zhao Slip will definitely leave Gongzi Yu's life and let Sima Zhao Ju fulfill his promise.
Thinking about it, Zhao Ying's face changed, and he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, leave two thousand people to defend the north gate, and the rest of the soldiers will enter the city immediately." โ
"No."
