Murong Xue ordered to go down, and after the generals attacked the palace, they must capture Duan Yi and Murong Mei, and they must be captured alive.

The entire Dali City has almost been controlled by the army of the Great Wei State, Han Xuening said to Murong Xue: "Sister, we are not in a hurry to attack the palace, let the defenders of Dali City in the palace slow down." It also lets them know the fear of being surrounded, and that there is no benefit in aiding and abetting abuse. ”

Murong Xue thought about it and agreed to Han Xuening's suggestion. She ordered to go down and suspend the assault on the palace, and surrounded it from the outside, and the archers were always ready to kill the soldiers in the palace if they wanted to break through.

After receiving the order, the generals began to set their troops back thirty meters and firmly trap the palace. The archers prepared day and night, and once anyone escaped, they were killed.

Duan Yi, who was in the palace, suddenly heard the commander of the Imperial Forest Army report that the army of the Great Wei State outside had stopped attacking and had retreated dozens of meters.

Duan Yi was puzzled, didn't they want to completely capture Dali City? Why not attack?

"Cousin! The army of the Great Wei State suddenly stopped attacking, I don't know what they want to do? ”

"It's just right not to attack, but Murong Xue must have thought of some bad idea, maybe she will soon be overwhelmed by the whole line. We can't take it lightly! Then, Murong Mei said to the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, "Give the order to go down, everyone and horses will be strictly defended, and they can't be taken lightly." ”

"Yes! Empress! ”

After the commander left, Murong Mei said to Duan Yi: "If the army of the Cold Moon Kingdom can arrive in time within two days, we can still save it." I don't know what those girls are doing? Now that you have occupied Dali City, why not attack the palace? ”

In fact, Murong Mei couldn't guess the reason why the other party didn't attack.

"I hope that the army of the Cold Moon Kingdom can come to support as soon as possible, so that the Dali Kingdom can get out of trouble." Duan Yi kept sighing.

In Murong Xue's tent, she convened a meeting with everyone, which was the next action.

Dali City is already in the bag, I am afraid that the reinforcements of Dali will come, now their army in the city is a total of 70,000 or 80,000 people, if the enemy comes to support the huge army, they are not easy to deal with.

Also, Dali City is now very chaotic, the people have almost escaped from Dali City, especially from the north, south and west three directions of the city gate, the fleeing people have 200,000 people, in the future to develop Dali City, but also to gather these people back.

The army of Dali also escaped thirty or forty thousand, and in Dali, in addition to the southern Xinjiang city in the southeast room, they now occupy Dali City. There are also three cities, respectively in the west, south, and north directions, and the three cities are relatively small, with a total strength of less than 100,000.

However, if these 100,000 troops join forces to come to the rescue, it will not be easy to deal with.

Murong Xue thought for a while and said to everyone: "Next, let's use the surrender, so that we don't have to lose a large number of troops on both sides." ”

Murong Xue thought for a while and said, "The people who know about Dali here also have Xiaodong, and Xiaodong's parents are both from Dali. The old witch doctor was also named a national teacher by Duan Yi, if he could persuade the old witch doctor and Xiao Dong's mother, Gillian, to defect to the Great Wei Kingdom, then the matter of surrender would become much easier. ”

Xiao Dong hurriedly said: "I am willing to listen to the coach's instructions!" ”

"Okay, Xiaodong, in the next two days, it is best for you to find your mother or your father and persuade them to surrender. There are also soldiers in the palace, and if you want to surrender, we are welcome. Desperate resistance to killing. ”

"Yes, I'll go to my mother tonight!"

In the evening, Xiao Dong came to the outside of the palace and played the flute, which was the secret signal for her to meet her mother.

More than half an hour later, she heard her mother's response and asked her to meet her in a remote alley outside the palace.

The soldiers around there all stepped back, so that Xiao Dong's mother could come out of the palace smoothly.

In a remote alley, Xiaodong met his mother.

"Xiaodong, what are you looking for me?"

"Mother, now that the palace has been surrounded by the armies of the Great Wei Kingdom, it is useless for you to resist, and in the end all the soldiers in the palace will die." Xiao Dong said to his mother.

"I know that in this situation, there is no way back."

"Today, the boss said, the main thing is that you can surrender and promise not to kill. However, those who stubbornly resist will be killed. Xiao Dong told her mother what Murong Xue meant.

"Xiao Dong, now our mother and daughter are their own masters, as the so-called victory of the king and defeat of the king, since my mother has followed Emperor Duan Yi, there is no way back. Besides, your father is now the state affairs of Dali, and he can't betray the emperor. ”

"Mother, the kingdom of Dali is almost over, and if you stubbornly resist, you will all die. Besides, is it worth it to be sent to death with Duan Yi, a tyrant, and Murong Mei, a femme fatale? ”

"Daughter, there are many things that we can't decide."

"Mother, you were wrong, now you can decide. One thought will make countless heads fall to the ground. The boss said that as long as the soldiers in the palace surrendered, they would not be held accountable. However, those who will never surrender will fall to the ground. In this situation, you can't get out at all, and if you don't surrender, there is only a dead end. Moreover, the manager only has a three-day deadline. After three days, there will be a large-scale attack on the palace, and when the time comes, no one in the palace will be able to escape. ”

Hearing Xiao Dong say this, Gillian was also worried, "Daughter, let me go back and discuss with your father, let's see you here tomorrow night." ”

"Yes, Mother! As long as you surrender to your father and convince the soldiers in the palace to lay down their arms, you will not die. In this way, everyone can survive. Xiao Dong affirmed again.

Gillian nodded, and then went back.

After Xiao Dong went back, he told Murong Xue and Han Xuening about seeing Gillian, and waited for tomorrow's reply.

Han Xuening said: "I hope Xiaodong's father and mother can figure it out, so that many people don't have to be sent to death." ”

Duan Yi and Murong Mei, who had been in the palace for another day, became a little impatient, because there was still no news of reinforcements from outside. Besides, even if reinforcements arrived, they didn't know that the palace had been sealed off.

They are now like beasts trapped in cages, not knowing what their fate will be.

In the evening, Xiaodong came to the agreed place early and waited for his mother to come.

After waiting for half an hour, Gillian finally appeared.

"Mother, what did Dad say?"

After seeing her mother, Xiao Dong seemed very excited, she wanted to know the news that her father and mother could surrender.

"Xiaodong, your father said that the emperor is kind to him, and he will not betray the emperor even if he dies. I've been talking to him for a long time, and he doesn't want to surrender. Your father said, what does it matter if your husband dies? Do not do perfidy. ”

Hearing his mother say this, Xiao Dong felt very disappointed, "Mother, what my father said is right, but the current emperor of Dali, Duan Yi, and Murong Mei, that woman, are treacherous people. As the empress of the Great Wei Kingdom, she actually committed adultery with Duan Yi. Murong Mei plotted to kill the loyal and good people in the Great Wei Dynasty, and also murdered her husband, the emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom, is this treacherous? Duan Yi plotted to kill his eldest brother Duan Jun, put the emperor under house arrest, and snatched the throne, which was not only treacherous, but also a great rebellion. Dad lost his life for this kind of person, is it worth it? ”
