Chapter 147: Descending? No drop?
Although the Tang army slept all night and did not launch a siege battle, this night, the people in Jian'an City, whether they were officials or soldiers, or ordinary city citizens, were destined to have difficulty sleeping.
The prestige of Datang can be said to be in full swing in the past ten or twenty years. Not only the officers and soldiers of Goguryeo were accustomed to hearing thunder, but even ordinary people had heard of it.
Before, it was because he was afraid that the Tang army would slaughter the city, so he would resist with his life.
Now, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty has personally promised that as long as he surrenders to the army of the Tang Dynasty, he will not slaughter the city and forgive them for their previous crimes.
Even if everyone knows that continuing to resist stubbornly is just a matter of survival, Jian'an has become an isolated city in Liaodong, completely besieged by the Tang Dynasty, and it is even more wishful thinking to expect Pyongyang to send troops to rescue.
For the common people on the other side, whether it is Goguryeo or the Tang Dynasty, no one will rule them, as long as they can be given a way to live, they are all the same, and there is no big difference.
At this time, the world has changed hands frequently, today it is this king, tomorrow it is the emperor, the national concept, national honor and disgrace, for the people of Liaodong, in fact, it is not strong.
It's just that the officials don't think so, if they surrender earlier, they will admit it, and it is estimated that Datang will not be unable to tolerate themselves.
But now! Although they are also very tempted and want to surrender to Datang, they have no bottom in their hearts, because they have lasted so long to resist, from last year to this year, their hands are stained with the blood of Datang soldiers, once they surrender, I am afraid they will not have a good end.
Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, it is better to fight to the end, and temporarily pull a few more backs, at least after death, you can still have a good reputation, die vigorously, and become a national hero of Goguryeo.
Time is always in a hurry, never waits for anyone, and never stops moving forward, soon, the sky has been brightened, a round of red sun rises, illuminating the land of Liaodong, everything seems vibrant.
The sky in Liaodong is always bright and very early, and Chang'an is still the darkest time before dawn, and Liaodong can already see the sunrise.
Now that the time has just arrived, there is still some distance from the hour, and almost all the people in the city have already gotten up from their beds, and today is the last moment to decide their life and death, who is still in the mood to sleep lazy?
If you want to sleep lazily, you can sleep enough after you die, but at this time, no one wants to die.
In Jian'an City, everyone's eyes looked at the City Lord's Mansion in Jian'an, wanting to know as soon as possible that the City Lord's decision was a matter of life and death for them.
In the Jian'an City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord Cui Jinghao also didn't sleep all night, or he hadn't slept well in the past few days.
At this moment, the city lord Cui Jinghao is discussing the next direction with his officials and generals, whether to surrender to Datang or resist to the end.
Some people feel that if they continue to resist, there is only a dead end, and there will be no other result, so they are inclined to surrender.
Their reasons are also very sufficient, the Tang Dynasty has always treated prisoners very generously and generously, we have held on for so long, we have been worthy of our conscience, and we are also worthy of the Goguryeo royal court.
If you continue to resist senselessly, it doesn't matter if you die in battle, but if you put your relatives and the people of the whole city in dire straits, it will be very sorry for your relatives and people.
When the city lord Cui Jinghao heard this, he also thought it was true, and he was very moved.
However, there are many people who oppose it, because Jian'an City is different, from last year to this year's Second World War, there are as many as three or four thousand Tang officers and soldiers who died under Jian'an City, and the officers and soldiers of Datang may not be willing to let themselves go.
This is actually a problem that Cui Jinghao is very worried about, Bi Jing has been his master before, one wants to defend the city without losing, and the other wants to break through the city, death and injury are inevitable.
If there are not many dead and wounded on both sides, it will be fine, but the problem now is that there are too many Tang troops who died under Jian'an City, and other people can say that they are the city lord, but they are very suspenseful.
"City Lord, even if you surrender, you can negotiate terms with the other party! As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty personally promises that he will not settle accounts afterwards and blame the city lord, then there will definitely be no problem. The man sent by the Lord said.
"That's not necessarily, if you are not held accountable at this time, who knows if you will be held accountable afterwards, is this kind of thing happening less?" The main battle faction retorted.
"So what do you say? Continue to resist, who is sure to repel the Tang army, even if the Tang army can't capture Jian'an City for the time being, the trap can trap us to death.
This year's agricultural season is about to pass, how to plant crops in the city? How long can we hold out without food supplements?
And that's not even counting the other supplies, salt, iron, tea, cloth, which are not in short supply in the city right now.
At that time, even if the Tang army can't capture Jian'an City, the people in the city will not be able to stand it and stand up against us.
Now surrender to Datang, at least the people are safe, they will always accept our affection and remember our kindness to them. ”
"Yes! We don't think about ourselves, at least we have to think about the people in the city, city lord, let's come down! Another person from the Lord's Descending Sect said excitedly.
"Yes! Don't think about yourself, but also think about the people in the city, when you were the city lord, didn't you just want to benefit the people? Isn't it also for the sake of the safety of the people that he sticks to Jian'an City?
Now, do you want to put the lives of the people at risk for your own sake? In the heart of the city lord Cui Jinghao, he couldn't help but think.
But there are not a few people who oppose surrendering to Datang! This made Cui Jinghao feel very embarrassed.
The sun shone on the tall walls of Jian'an City, and the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had already filled their stomachs, lined up energetically, and were ready to start attacking the city at any time.
Seeing that Chen Shi is about to pass three quarters, this is the time for the final siege battle, but the gate of Jian'an City is still closed, and the defenders on Jian'an City are still on guard.
Probably Jian'an City will not surrender, they are ready to defend to the end, this is the result that many people think of in their hearts.
Such a result was both expected and unexpected, but everyone could accept it, after all, Jian'an City had resisted for so long, how could it be so easy to surrender, and it was surrendered without a fight.
Jian'an City really chose to surrender to Datang at this time, but it would be strange, there was no door to surrender, everyone seemed to think it was quite normal.
If you like Datang, you can be stronger, please collect: () Datang can be stronger, and the update speed is the fastest.
