Chapter 6: Attack the Heart

At this time, the second prince of Zheng Guo, who was invincible, was already trembling, his crown hat and ribbon were crooked, his clothes were dripping with blood, and he looked disgraced.

Zheng Kang was very frightened, his face turned pale, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he knew very well how ugly the words he said before were, even ordinary civilians couldn't bear it, let alone the king of a country.

Now that he has become a prisoner, he is like a fish on a chopping board, as long as Yang Mu gives an order, he may fall to the ground.

So, he gritted his teeth, pretended to be calm, and said in a trembling voice: "Emperor Cangguo, you ...... You can't kill me, this prince has a noble status, even if he is defeated, he will not die! ”

Yang Mu disdainful, what's wrong with the prince, in addition to being the emperor, I am also the descendant of the dragon, the descendant of Yan and Huang, and the successor of communism, am I proud, and I didn't say it everywhere, you are still a prisoner of war?

Seeing this, Zheng Kang became even more empty-hearted, and said hurriedly: "Emperor Cangguo, you ...... You have to think about the consequences, there are still 16,000 troops behind this prince, if you find out that I am dead, you will definitely retaliate, just with your thousands of people, you will definitely not be able to resist. ”

"Oh? Is that really the case? Yang Mu's tone was very flat, and he said: "Later, I will behead you, and your head will be hung on the flag, guess what will happen when they see it?" If you die, the so-called army will become a plate of scattered sand, and you will be punished if you flee back to Zheng Guo anyway. ”

Zheng Kang was speechless, cold sweat flowed down, Yang Mu was right, throughout the ancient and modern times, the death of the commander in the war will inevitably cause the army's heart to waver, once it causes a mutiny, it is easy to be lured by the emperor of Cangguo. Therefore, the so-called army cannot be his bargaining chip, if he angers the emperor of Cangguo, he will also be killed.

For a while, Zheng Kang's heart was big, and he secretly glanced at Wei Zhongquan next to him, and saw that the tip of the sword was still dripping with red blood, and he was hesitant.

It seems that today is inevitable.

"That'...... So how are you going? Zheng Kang was almost desperate, he was dead left and right, and he just hoped to have a good time and suffer less torture in his heart.

Yang Mu waved his sleeves, got up and bowed to the sky, and then said: "Not long after I ascended the throne, I admired the way of governing the country with benevolence and righteousness, and I couldn't bear to kill more, why don't we make a deal?" ”

"Deal?" Zheng Kang's eyes lit up, arrogance was arrogance, but he was not stupid, as soon as he heard this, he knew that he still had hope of life.

"Yes, it's a deal." Yang Mu nodded and sighed: "Not long after I ascended the throne, I didn't want to have a grudge with you Zheng Guo, but you led the troops to invade first, and I must have an explanation to my subjects, so now, if you order your subordinates to surrender, and then redeem yourself with gold and silver, I may be able to spare your life." ”

"Is that true?"

"You don't joke."

Zheng Kang was ecstatic, as if he had crawled out of the ghost gate, and his whole body was paralyzed.

As long as there is hope of survival, what is it for the soldiers to surrender, they are all untouchables anyway, and it is okay if they die, as for the gold and silver property, just lose it and then go to loot, as long as the small life is still there, it will not take a few years to make a comeback!

When the time comes, we will definitely find today's humiliation and make this little emperor look good!

"The Emperor of Cangguo is reasonable, this prince is willing to make this deal!" Zheng Kang was categorical and righteous in his words, and said: "The two armies are fighting, and casualties are inevitable...... It's just that...... Can you untie this rope for this prince, everyone is a person with status, and it is inevitable that he will look like this...... Yes! ”

Before he finished his words, he was kicked in the stomach by Yang Mu, curled up on the ground in pain, and fell to the ground.

Then, he was pulled by the guard next to him and put it up again like a chicken.

"What else do you have to say?" Yang Mu glanced at him coldly.

"I didn't ...... There is no ......" Zheng Kang swallowed his saliva, silent, and finally recognized the fact that people were under the eaves.

"Don't leave it to chance, don't think I won't dare to kill you. Since you can afford the money, so can your imperial brothers, I believe they don't mind letting you stay on the land of my Great Cangguo forever. Yang Mu glanced at him and said lightly.

"Nope! No! I...... I'm obedient......" Zheng Kang's heart trembled, he was really afraid, Yang Mu's words could be said to poke at his weakness, once he learned that he was captured, the happiest person must be those two imperial brothers, and it is definitely not too much to buy his head with silver.

Even, those courtiers will fall into the ground, wishing that he would die early, and then divide his fiefdom as soon as possible.

In this way, even if he is lucky enough not to die, he will become a powerless prince after he returns, and sooner or later he will die in the palace infighting.

At this moment, there was a sound of fighting in the distance.

Yang Mu knew that the remaining enemy troops should have attacked and were fighting with the ambushed army.

Immediately, Yang Mu ordered Zheng Kang to be carried to the palace wall and persuaded the enemy to surrender.

When Zheng Guo's soldiers saw this, they were shocked.

Originally, he attacked the city like a bamboo, thinking that he could loot it on a large scale, but he didn't expect that there was no one on the street, and after killing all the way to the imperial city, he encountered an ambush and was caught off guard, and what he never expected was that the commander who was the first to attack the palace as the vanguard army had been captured!

Now, the captured commander has ordered everyone to surrender, what should I do?

The soldiers were at a loss, they didn't want to be prisoners, and they didn't dare to disobey the military order, after all, they were all the people of Zheng State, and when the war was over and liquidated, those who disobeyed the military order would definitely face severe punishment.

Seeing that Zheng Jun was hesitant and was watching, Sima Hong stood up and waved his flag on the palace wall and shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree, my Cangguo will not kill prisoners, and those who lay down their arms will be exempted from capital crimes!" ”

"Lay down your arms and be exempted from capital crimes!"

"Lay down your arms and be exempted from capital crimes!"

For a while, the soldiers of the Cangguo Kingdom on the surrounding city walls also shouted one after another.

Don't kill the captives?

Most of them were peasant soldiers who had been temporarily conscripted, and they had only practiced for a month or two at most, and most of them were greedy for life and afraid of death, in order to eat for a while, and now in the face of the commander's order, coupled with the promise not to kill the prisoners, they were all shaken.

"I surrender! I still have a wife and children at home, and I don't want to die! I give up! "One of the soldiers threw his weapon on the ground and fell on his knees.

"I surrender too!"

"I surrender too!"

After the first soldier surrendered, the rest of the people followed suit, slowly put down their weapons, and in less than a few minutes, the army of nearly 15,000 people all knelt down and surrendered, and were escorted by a group of Cangguo soldiers and taken to an urn city in the palace to be guarded.

Yang Mu stood on the city tower and watched from afar, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really dangerous today, but if there is a little mistake in any place, it will be the end of death and the destruction of the country.

And the most shocking part is the scheming after capturing Zheng Kang, if the other party is a little more courageous and swears not to order surrender, then everything will be wasted, and no one can stop the 15,000 army.

Fortunately, Zheng Kang is not only ambitious and talented, but also greedy for life and afraid of death, his mind is panicked, and then he was flickered and intimidated by Yang Mulian, so he begged for mercy very spinelessly, and jumped into a big pit that had been dug a long time ago.

As for now, hum, the winner is the prince and the loser thief, he is the victorious side, and he doesn't just want to do what he wants?

Of course, Yang Mu will not backtrack, he will not kill Zheng Kang and those soldiers who surrendered, but he will definitely not let them have a good time.

In short, a seemingly dangerous, but in fact hasty and crude battle to destroy the country ended in a completely unexpected way.

For Yang Mu, the matter has finally come to an end, and after saving a small life, he can have time to digest the psychological discomfort caused by the crossing.

However, for the entire Great Cangguo, this is just the beginning......
