Chapter Seventy-Six: The Surrender of Grand Duke Rurik

Outside the Novgorod Castle, the capital of the Rurik Dynasty, Marshal Yi Yu had been in trenches with Grand Duke Rurik for several months, and the army of the Rurik Dynasty had been fed and drunk every day because of the continuous supply of military rations from Wanzhou.

And the Grand Duke Rurik, who was wrapped up in the Novgorod castle, was not so good, they were already out of food a month ago. The Grand Duke Rurik took out his hoarded food and did not have enough to eat.

During the period when Grand Duke Rurik and his guests were surrounded, the army of Saurus had gradually conquered all the other territories of Grand Duke Rurik.

These were all unknown to the Grand Duke of Rurik, who also thought that the Grand Chiefs of the other realms deliberately did not want to come to his rescue.

In the hall of Novgorod Castle, the guests of Grand Duke Rurik were all skinny, and when one of the guests saw Grand Duke Rurik walking in, he hurriedly rushed up and hugged Grand Duke Rurik's leg and pleaded:

"Grand Duke, we have no food at all, and we have already eaten everything we can eat, what should we do now? We, we're not as good, it's better to come down!! ”

Grand Duke Rurik was also too hungry to look human, and his deep-set eyes stared at the man, and he shook his head helplessly and said nothing.

The guests were already a little angry when they saw that Grand Duke Rurik did not say anything. They rushed up and pulled Grand Duke Rurik's clothes and pants to make Grand Duke Rurik surrender.

"Stop me, what do you want to do? Want to rebel? Grand Duke Rurik scolded loudly.

"Pull them out for me and let them calm down."

.........

No one responded to Grand Duke Rurik, including Grand Duke Rurik's cronies, who kept their heads down and pretended to hear everything.

.........

Grand Duke Rurik looked at these people and opened his mouth to say something.

"Alas"

In the end, Grand Duke Rurik shook his head, personally tore the hands of those who were holding him away, and walked silently towards the backyard.

.........

Everyone in the hall looked at the figure of Grand Duke Rurik leaving and discussed something.

"What do you say? Seeing that the Grand Duke has no idea of surrendering at all!! ”

"So what do you say?"

"Well, I don't know!"

"Why don't we click the Grand Duke?" A man wiped his neck with his hand.

"No, I think we should just open the gates and let the troops outside."

"Put it in? Let them in and kill us? ”

"I don't think so, we'll all starve to death if we go on like this. Why don't you open the gates and let them in! We're going to have to gamble. ”

The people in the hall were already on the verge of madness, and in the desire to survive, they decided to open the city gate in the middle of the night and let Yi Yu's army in.

.........

But the Grand Duke Rurik did not know what those people outside thought, because even his cronies had betrayed him, and among those who were outside were his cronies.

Grand Duke Rurik walked towards his place of residence.

"Bang dang!"

"How's the kid?" Grand Duke Rurik opened the door and walked in to look at a child lying on the bed.

"Although the fever has subsided, it has not improved much." Grand Duke Rurik's wife shook her head.

"W-what can I do? Alas! Grand Duke Rurik frowned helplessly, knowing that the child lying on the bed was his only child.

"Has the child eaten for the past two days?"

"No, those things are not suitable for children at all!"

Grand Duke Rurik thought to himself, does God really want me to surrender? I'm not reconciled!

"I'm trying to figure out another way, don't worry, I'll fix it." Grand Duke Rurik held his wife's hungry white and thin face and kissed it lightly.

"Well, Rurik I believe in you!!" Grand Duke Rurik's wife nodded sensibly.

Grand Duke Rurik walked out of the door and into a garden, where he sat and thought about what to do.

Grand Duke Rurik thought about it for more than an hour, and he decided to ask if the people who were surrounding him outside could cure his son.

Thinking of doing it immediately, Grand Duke Rurik immediately walked towards the gate of the castle.

"People from outside, I want to see your highest commander."

In the tent of the Kura army, Yi Yu was looking at a map of the entire Rus' region.

"Now all that's left is the Novgorod Castle! I didn't expect that Rurik, the lord of Novgorod, was really a backbone person. It is admirable that the food is gone and still does not surrender!! But admiration is admiration, and Novgorod should also be taken! Yi Yu looked at the territory of the Rurik dynasty and muttered to herself.

"Marshal, marshal!!"

A voice interrupted Yi Yu's thoughts, and Yi Yu looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

"Marshal, the enemy chief Rurik said he wanted to see you!!"

"Rurik wants to see me, did he say why he wanted to see me."

"No, he just said he wanted to see the Supreme Commander!"

"Well, it's okay, I'd like to meet him too."

Yi Yu nodded, took the cloak and put it on her body and walked out of the tent, mounted her horse and walked towards the Novgorod Castle.

"I heard you were going to see me!"

"Yes, I want to see you!"

"Why?"

"I want to ask, can the doctors in your country cure people with wind and cold?"

"Yes, our country's doctors can be cured!"

"Really?"

"That's right."

Yi Yu nodded very confidently, he believed that the doctor of Huaxia Kingdom would definitely be able to cure it.

Grand Duke Rurik heard Yi Yu's answer, pondered for a moment, and asked.

"What do you need?"

"All you need is to open the gates and surrender!"

"What if it can't be cured?"

"You don't believe it?"

"I can't believe it!"

"You can send out the person who needs treatment, and when he is cured, you will surrender!"

"Isn't that tantamount to giving you hostages?"

"What do you think of you sending people out and I'll go in and be your hostage?"

"You believe me so much?"

"It's up to you to believe me."

"Okay, I agreed, in the afternoon, I'll send people out! You come in! ”

Yi Yu and Grand Duke Rurik were talking to each other across the door, and finally Grand Duke Rurik agreed to Yi Yu's terms.

.....

Yi Yu immediately invited a military doctor, and then asked, "Doctor, can you cure the cold?" ”

"Marshal, I can!"

"If you can, in the afternoon the gates of Novgorod will open to send out a patient, and you treat him as soon as possible. And I went in as a hostage. ”

"Marshal, this, wouldn't this be too risky?"

"A soldier who can surrender without a fight, why not take some risks."

"But, Marshal, this..."

"Okay, I've made up my mind, General Luo doesn't need to persuade me." Yi Yu waved his hand to interrupt General Anxin's words.

.......

In the afternoon, Yi Yu arrived as promised, and Archduke Rurik also arrived at the door with his children.

"Crunch"

The city gate opened, Yi Yu walked in with a calm expression, and Grand Duke Rurik sent the child out.

"I didn't expect you to really dare to come in, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Grand Duke Rurik looked at Yi Yu.

"Don't be afraid, first, you won't kill me, because that's your child outside, and second, you can't beat me at the moment." Yi Yu smiled indifferently and shook her head.

"........" Grand Duke Rurik looked at this young and handsome young man and shook his head, "Old, old." What a great young man! Let's go, let's go to the hall and wait! ”

In the hall, everyone stared straight at Yi Yu, and Yi Yu calmly found a place to sit down.

Everyone in the hall didn't expect the enemy commander to come in so blatantly, and he didn't bring any guards.

Yi Yu looked at them and smiled slightly.

The people of the hall knew that their plans to surrender had been shattered.

Following

The illness of the Grand Duke Rurik's child had been cured, and the Anxin General Roach took the child outside the castle and handed the child to the Grand Duke Rurik.

"Alas," Grand Duke Rurik looked at the ruddy-faced child, sighed, and then stood aside and made a gesture of invitation.

On the same day, Grand Duke Rurik surrendered, and the army of Saura took the entire territory of Rus'.
