Castle and village city, council hall!

There are hundreds of civil and military ministers in the palace, and the hall is crowded! However, the atmosphere in the hall was very strange, not only surprisingly quiet, but also full of an air of despair! This can be clearly seen from the godless eyes of the ministers in the palace!

It is the king of Minyue, who sits on the throne, and at this time he has lost his previous majesty: his face is still the same face, but he has lost his impassioned look in the past; The pearl crown and the gold power battle, these two sacred relics of the Minyue country are also dazzling, but they can no longer support the last dignity of this country!

Just now, the news that the Qin army's 200,000 troops had destroyed the Pushui Division of Fujian and Vietnam almost arrived in Chengcun City together with the news of the defeat of the Ni Zhong Discussion and the defeat, and under the two blows in a row, it was impossible for anyone to have a trace of excitement!

Looking at His Highness's anxious ministers, Wu Zhuchang took a breath and barely calmed a flustered mind. As a monarch, he must hold up this sky in times of crisis!

"Zhuqing, now that the Qin army has broken through my Nanpu Water Division, it is crossing the Nanpu River in a big way and rushing towards the city and village! How to deal with it now, please also ask all the secretaries to work together to tide over the national crisis!" Wu Zhu is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, hoping that a miracle will appear!

When Zhu Wenwu heard this, he looked at each other and bit his ears for a long time, and Cheng Xiang Boyue came out and said: "King, if the danger of Nanpuxi has been broken, although there is still Chongyang Creek more than 200 miles east of the city and village to resist the enemy, but my Minyue has no troops to retreat from the enemy, and there is no time to deal with it, so the minister thinks that it should be surrendered!"

The corners of Wu Zhu's mouth couldn't help twitching, for a person with extremely strong self-esteem: The blow to him with the word 'surrender' was very huge! It's just that he can't get angry now, and now that he is in a national crisis, he will be angry and slaughter the minister's words. Wouldn't it be even more self-defeating!

So, Wu Zhuqiang endured the anger in his heart, and asked calmly: "Zhuqing, the more the Prime Minister is surrendered, what are your opinions?"

The ministers didn't seem to be angry when they saw Wuzhu, and they all said: "The ministers think that now the general trend has gone, and only by surrendering can they keep the king safe and the tomb of the first king safe!" The minister seconded the proposal! The general of the Qin State Fu Su is humble and willing, and he will definitely treat the king well!" ……

Looking at the courtiers of the palace who were eager to descend, Wuzhu's heart couldn't help but feel like a knife: "It's really a big disaster, and they are flying separately!" Before Min Yue died, he began to curry favor with the new master! also kept saying that he was thinking about the king and the ancestral temple. Is this king really a fool?"

Seeing that Wu Zhu was speechless for a while, when the ministers were about to persuade again, suddenly one of them shouted: "Shut up for me!" This roar was like rolling thunder, and it vibrated the echo in the hall, making people's ears tingle!

When everyone heard this, it was the general Jin Hu.

Jin Hu pointed at the ministers and said angrily: "You wait for the king's luck, you should share the king's worries!" Now that the Qin army has not yet arrived in the city, they are trying to betray their masters for glory, do you still have any shame!?" was scolded by Jin Hu's righteous words, and the ministers felt ashamed. I bowed my head for a while and didn't dare to say anything more!

Bo Yue couldn't help but say: "General Jin is a loyal minister, do you think that everyone else is a traitor!?" If you don't surrender the Qin army, what will you use to retreat from the enemy!? Do you want the ancestral tombs of the great king and the former king to be destroyed in the war!? It really is. I see that your golden tiger has no face to see me, the ancestors of the Minyue Dynasty!"

Jin Hu trembled with anger, and scolded with his fingers: "Although I have no plan to retreat from the enemy. I hope to lead the remnants of the army to defend the city and village, and live and die with the national capital! My Jin Hu was born as a Minyue person, and died as a Minyue ghost, and I will never learn from the snake and mouse villain. Surrender to Tyranny!" Immediately, Jin Hu turned to Wuzhu and said earnestly: "Great King, it is not easy for the ancestors of my Minyue Dynasty to create such a foundation, how can I give it to others!" Even if the general trend is irreversible. You should also rise up to fight, and even if you die, you will be worthy of the previous kings!"

Wu Zhu sighed when he heard this, and said in his heart: "This is the real loyal minister!" Looking at Ni Zhong, Wu Zhu asked, "Doctor Ni, you just came back from the Qin army, what is your opinion?"

Ni Zhong's face showed hesitation, and he was silent for a while and said, "King, it's hard to decide!" Now that the peace negotiation has completely failed, the princess has been detained in the Qin camp, and the Nanpu Tian danger has been broken, it is really difficult for my Minyue to have any chance of winning! Therefore, if we consider it from the aspect of caring for the people, the minister believes that any resistance is futile, but will bring senseless death to the people, and it should be surrendered. Moreover, Fusu also personally promised the princess and Weichen that as long as the king surrenders, he will treat the king and the Minyue subjects well, which should be a good choice! But if you consider it from the aspect of loyalty to the country and the royal family, the minister believes that it is necessary to resist bloodily, even if the city and village are broken, my Minyue Kingdom will fight to the last moment! Even our army can abandon the city and village, avoid the Wuyi Mountains, and engage in a long maneuver with the Qin army! But if we do this, we will definitely bring even greater casualties to our Minyue soldiers and civilians! Therefore, it is difficult to decide whether to fight or surrender, and the ministers only listen to the king's arrangement, no matter whether it is a war or a surrender, they will swear to follow to the death!"

It should be said that Ni Zhong is a very rational person, and the two choices he gave were also very helpless: he did not want to continue to resist, so that the blood of the Minyue people was flowing; I don't want to be tied down and surrender in humiliation! However, how can such a problem be easily decided for Wuzhu!

Wuzhu has always loved the people, but he is also strong, he can't do it if he surrenders, but he can't bear to resist the misery of the people, after thinking for a long time, Wuzhu opened his eyes, his face showed a resolute look, and he said: "I have made up my mind!" Immediate order: All civil and military officials, soldiers and ordinary people in the city who want to surrender can go out of the city at will, and must not be blocked, but must leave within two days; Two days later, the four gates will be closed, and those who are willing to stay behind will defend the cities, villages and towns, and swear to defend the foundation of the first king!"

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other, and when they saw that there was no such magnanimity, they couldn't help but be ashamed, and suddenly they knelt down together, and shouted, "Great King!" Wuzhu sighed, waved his hand and said, "Go, find a way out, this king can't take care of you now!"

The ministers cried loudly, and they didn't know whether they were moved or ashamed!

However, it was said that after Fusu led the army to cross Nanpuxi, 20,000 remnants of the navy army remained in Nanpuxi, and the rest of the main army of more than 150,000 soldiers pointed to Chongyangxi and went straight to the city and village!

On this day, the army had just crossed Chongyang Creek. Then there was a reprimanded soldier Pegasus to report: "Report to the king, the king of Minyue Wuzhu has recently opened four doors to let Minyue officials and people enter and exit freely!" Now most of the people in Minyue City have fled!"

Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Oh, that's really the case!? Does the King of Minyue have the intention of surrendering?" He hurriedly said: "Back to the king, it's the opposite!" King Wuzhu of Minyue has closed the four gates this morning, claiming that he will lead the remnants of his army to live and die with Minyue!"

Fusu and the generals were taken aback when they heard this, and Li Xin was surprised: "Is this Wuzhu crazy!" Our army is more than 100,000 people, and he only has more than 10,000 remnants at most, do you really want to kill yourself!?" Ren Huan sighed and said, "Wuzhu, Renjun also!" Let the officers and soldiers and the people voluntarily escape in front. If you want to die to defend the foundation of the first king, it is rare!"

Fusu was stunned when he heard this, and then exclaimed: "People often say: Don't judge heroes by victory or defeat!" There is nothing to call it that!" Ren Huan nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Wuzhu has a very high prestige in the minds of the Minyue people, if I can persuade him to surrender, then it will be good for me to quickly stabilize the Minyue Kingdom!"

Fusu smiled with some pity: "Is it really that easy!" If you were willing to surrender, I'm afraid you wouldn't do it like this!" The generals were a little silent when they heard this: Wu Zhu is a respectable opponent, and submitting him is far more exciting than killing him! I can't help but feel a pity for a while!

Three days later, 150,000 Qin troops swept all over the city, besieging the city and village! Under Fusu's arrangement: Ren Huan and Li Xin guarded the West Camp and the North Camp respectively. cut off the road for the Minyue people to retreat to the Wuyi Mountains; Qiang Kui guarded the eastern camp to prevent the Minyue people from breaking through to the east; Fusu personally guarded the southern camp and cared for the passage for the Minyue people to flee south to the hinterland or the South Yue country!

Next. Fusu personally led 10,000 'broken army' cavalry to gallop towards the city, and far away from the city, the Minyue soldiers saw the large group of Qin soldiers rushing towards them. I was so nervous that I pulled my bows and arrows, ready to shoot!

In order to show his sincerity, Fusu ordered 10,000 'broken troops' to stop at 500 steps outside the city and village, and only took more than ten personal guards to go straight to the city and village. Far away. A Minyue captive hurriedly shouted: "The city is not going to release arrows!" The general of the Qin State wants to see the great king of Wuzhu, and he has something important for a while!"

The Minyue soldiers in the city looked at each other, and one of the generals shouted: "Wait a minute, don't act rashly." Otherwise, bows and arrows will wait!" As he spoke, he hurried down the wall and went to nothing.

Not long after, there was a commotion at the head of the city, and a majestic man wearing a crown and holding a golden battle appeared at the head of the city, looking down!

Fusu arched his hand under the city and shouted: "Is there no king of Minyue in the city?"

"Exactly, you and I are enemy countries, what is the important matter of inviting this king today!?" No humility or arrogance, no fear!

Fusu smiled and said: "Although you and I are friends and enemies, but this monarch still admires the king very much, so I can't bear to see the king die tragically, so I came to persuade him to surrender!"

"This king will not descend!" Wuzhu has no two words, just this dry sentence!

Fusu shook his head and persuaded: "How unwise the king is! Now that the general trend of Fujian and Yue has gone, there must be no more than 10,000 soldiers in the cities and villages who can fight, how can they resist the army of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves of our Qin army! If the king surrenders now, he will not lose his position as a marquis; If you insist on not surrendering, when the city is broken, it will be too late to regret it!"

Wu Zhu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Fusu, this king tells you: If I want to surrender, I will surrender a long time ago!" The day before yesterday, I let go of a large number of officers and soldiers, and the people, just because I planned to live and die with the remaining loyal and brave people, the cities and villages, and Fujian and Vietnam! You don't want to say more, just let go and attack, I don't frown and don't look like a man who stands up to the sky!"

Hearing this, Fusu shouted: "Okay! Wuzhu, I won't say anything more to you, I will now give you a few conditions for surrender, and you can decide for yourself. First, the monarch guarantees the absolute safety of all the property, farmland, and lives of the subjects who surrender to Minyue, and those who violate them will die; Second, the monarch guarantees that the king's life is worry-free, and he is appointed as the county guard of the new county Minnan County, and the mausoleum and temple of the previous kings of Minyue and Yue, the monarch also guarantees that he will never touch a single grass or tree, but will double the protection; Third, this monarch guarantees that he will not discriminate against the Minyue people, and when the new county Minnan County is established in the future, the Minyue people will be given the same treatment as the Qin people in the Central Plains, and this monarch guarantees that at least half of the officials in the new county will be served by the Minyue people! What does the king think of these three points? If the king has other conditions, he might as well open it, and this gentleman can also consider it!"

Wu Zhu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "The implication is that after the fierce battle between my Minyue and the Qin army, the casualties of the Qin army must not be small, but I am willing to give Minyue and Dongou more favorable surrender conditions!" Is this true or false?"

Wu Zhu shouted: "Is this true?"

Seeing that Wuzhu was somewhat relieved, Fusu hurriedly said: "In order to reassure the king again, this monarch is willing to marry the princess of your country Yinhua as his wife, so that you and I are already relatives, and this monarch will never go back on his word again!" And the king must have heard that this king prides himself on his faith and righteousness, and his reputation is not bad in the past, so the king can boldly trust!"

Wu Zhu was silent for a while, and a fierce battle was going on in his brain! In the past, Wuzhu planned to fight to the death and not surrender, completely because he was worried that he would be insulted by the Qin army because he had resisted bravely after surrendering, and he was worried that the ancestral mausoleum would be destroyed by the Qin army.

After thinking about it, Wu Zhu still couldn't make a decision for a while, and couldn't help but set his eyes on the only two important ministers left in Minyue behind him: Jin Hu and Ni Zhong! Seeing that Wuzhu looked over, Jin Hu shook his head and said that he couldn't surrender! Ni Zhong hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "The king can ask again, if you don't surrender, after the city is broken, how will the Qin army deal with Minyue?"

Wuzhu nodded and said loudly: "What if this king doesn't surrender?" How are you going?"

Fu Su sneered: "If the king does not surrender, then we are the enemy, and we can't be merciful to the enemy!" The day the Qin army broke the city, that is, when the chickens and dogs in the city were not left, and the tombs and temples of the first king were all destroyed, and in order to avoid future troubles, the Minyue royal family will also cut the grass and eradicate the roots! Minyue people will not have any preferential treatment in the future! Think it through, the king!" In fact, Fusu is also a word of intimidation, even if nothing is surrendered, after the city is broken, Fusu will try his best to carness the people of Minyue except for the destruction of the Minyue kings!

Wu Zhu was stunned for a moment, was silent for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand and said, "Order, open the city, surrender!"

Ni Zhong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: This is the best result at the moment! Hurriedly said: "King Shengming!"

The golden tiger was stunned, and suddenly knelt down and said, "King, you can't descend!" Wu Zhu said sadly: "This king is not ready to surrender, but Fusu personally promised this king that he will treat my royal family, Zongmiao and Minyue subjects well, and if he does not surrender, it doesn't matter if this king dies, my Minyue royal family will be extinct, and the tomb and temple of the first king will also be destroyed, and then I will be broken and how to meet the first king in Jiuquan!" General Kim, get up, the general trend is gone, and it is useless to die! Kaesong!"

"Boom" sounded muffled, the gates of the city and village were opened, and the remaining civil and military forces were exempted from the crown, and they came out of the city to surrender!

Fusu was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly dismounted to greet him: "King Shengming, you have made a wise choice!" Minyue people will be grateful to the king for his virtue! Come, send the order, and the armies from all walks of life will enter the city and take over the city! Those who dare to loot will be killed!" Whoa!"

The army was just about to enter the city, and suddenly, a Fujian and Yue soldiers in the city came to report: "King, General Jinhu has drawn his sword on the city and killed himself!" Wu Zhu was stunned for a moment, and he looked much older for a while!

Fusu sighed with emotion: "Loyal ministers! Someone, pass on my general's order, and bury General Jin!" Whoa!"

In the early autumn of 217 BC, Min Yue died! Fusu newly placed Minnan County, with Wuzhu as the Taishou, half of the officials of the Ministry were transferred from the Central Plains, and half were selected from the original officials and people of Minyue, coupled with the vigorous implementation of the new policy, the border of Minyue was quickly stabilized!

At the end of the year, Fusu was ordered by King Zhao of Qin, and Wuzhu was added as the Marquis of the East China Sea, and the other was married to Fusu and Yinhua! So far, Fusu governs Minyue with benevolence and righteousness, and uses marriage as a means to win the hearts of Minyue people!
