Chapter Seventy-Seven: Final Thoughts

Wuyue Palace, Qian Hongyu pursed his lips, frowning and thinking hard, things seem to have reached the point of no return, but he still doesn't want to give up, the Qian family's country can't be destroyed in his hands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoBut in such a situation, what else can he do, does he really want to kill all the people who want to rebel as Lin Ding said?

This is unrealistic, impossible, if that, Hangzhou City is afraid that it will be more chaotic, the situation is even more optimistic, to that situation, the whole city is chaotic, Qian Hongyu has no confidence to control the situation, not to mention that there is a Tang army outside the city, the situation in Hangzhou City will inevitably not be hidden from their eyes, and they will attack Hangzhou City at any time.

"Alas!" Qian Hongyu sighed deeply, and at this time, under the leadership of the guards, Qian Wenfeng walked in.

"Lian Qing? You're back? Qian Hongyu was surprised at first, and then felt strange, Qian Wenfeng had been caught by Yang Lian, and when he appeared, he obviously did not flee back, and it was very likely that he was released like Zheng Guogong Wu Yanfu.

"King, Weichen has something to say, and I hope to move." Qian Wenfeng said.

Qian Hongyu groaned slightly, nodded and agreed.

When the two left, Lin Ding couldn't help but clench his fists and said, "Tang Dog is really hateful. ā€

"When Qian Jiedu came back, he must have persuaded the king to surrender." Wu Yanfu said.

"Humph!" Lin Ding snorted.

In the secret room, Qian Hongyu frowned, but still asked the palace maid to serve tea.

Qian Wenfeng drank a few sips of tea and moistened his throat, then he whispered, Yang Lian's words gave him a great shock, and then relayed, Qian Hongyu listened to it, and couldn't help nodding, harboring his guilt, no one can say for sure. Thinking about it this way, Yang Lian took his family wealth, even if it was for himself, the Qian family could also make a profit.

Qian Hongyu paced and thought about it, and after a full cup of tea, Qian Hongyu stopped, stood with his hands in his hands, burst into tears, and said: "Lian Qing, since this is the case, Lonely, no, I am willing to surrender!" Qian Hongyu already had the intention of surrendering, and originally wanted nothing more than to fight for more benefits, but at this time, if he didn't agree in time, I am afraid it would be too late.

After hearing this, Qian Wenfeng immediately stood up and said, "King, since this is the case, Weichen will leave the city immediately." ā€

Qian Hongyu nodded, suddenly beckoned again, stopped Qian Wenfeng, and said, "Lian Qing, from now on, I am not the king of Wuyue, and from now on, you can no longer call me king." ā€

Qian Wenfeng nodded solemnly, knowing that this was a big deal, and if he couldn't change his words, he was afraid that it would lead to death. Qian Hongyu watched Qian Wenfeng walk out, and suddenly sat on the ground, he suddenly felt weak, and tears flowed out unconsciously.

Wu Yanfu saw Qian Wenfeng hurriedly walked out, but he didn't see the king, waited for a while, then walked in, pushed open the door, and saw Qian Hongyu sitting there in a daze, and couldn't help but say: "King! ā€

When Qian Hongyu heard the voice, he hurriedly wiped his tears, stood up, tried to squeeze out a smile on his face, and said, "Zheng Guogong." ā€

Wu Yanfu was tentative and said, "King, have you made a decision?" ā€

Qian Hongyu sighed and said: "For the sake of the Qian family, I must endure the humiliation and burden, pass the order, and the three armies disarm and surrender to welcome the Tang army into the city." ā€

Qian Wenfeng hurriedly went out of Hangzhou City, went straight to the Tang army camp, at this time it was almost dusk, the Tang army camp was laughing and laughing, the soldiers were slaughtering fat pigs, large pieces of fat meat were thrown into the ding, with the boiling water churning, the aroma of meat soon wafted out.

Yang Lian, Fang Jinzhao, Lin Renzhao, Zhu Qi and others were drinking and eating meat in the big tent, and everyone was happy on their faces. When Qian Wenfeng saw this scene, a trace of dissatisfaction and resentment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it very well.

"Qian Jiedu, but there is good news?" Yang Lian said, and motioned to his subordinates to bring Qian Wenfeng a table of cases.

Qian Wenfeng took advantage of the calmness at this time, he slowly paced and sat down, and the Tang soldiers brought dishes, chopsticks and other things.

"Qian Jiedu, if there is anything, let's talk about it after eating." Yang Lian didn't look nervous at all.

Qian Wenfeng nodded, forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, thinking that there would be no major events in Hangzhou City for a while, as long as this night passed, the Qian family would be safe.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this journey has been a lot of hardship, although the road is full of thorns, but in the end, what greets me will eventually be the most beautiful scenery, infinite scenery in the dangerous peak, from now on, the heroes of the world dare not underestimate the Tang Dynasty." Yang Lian said.

Fang Jinzhao laughed and said: "Yang Jiedu, the Zhou State has always been eyeing the two Huai, and now that the threat from the south has been greatly reduced, you can free up your hands to deal with the Zhou State." ā€

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Today's big joy, I only drink and don't talk about state affairs." ā€

"Okay, the last general will have a cup of Yang Festival." Lin Renzhao stood up.

Yang Lian responded, raised his wine glass, and drank it all.

After eating a lot of fun at this meal, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the Tang army camp gradually fell silent, although Yang Lian drank a lot, but he was not drunk, and he seemed very energetic. The soldiers made a pot of hot tea for Yang Lian, and Yang Lian discussed things with Qian Wenfeng in the big tent.

"Yang Jiedu, King Wu Yue, no, Qian Hongyu has decided to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, and tomorrow I will invite Yang Jiedu to enter the city and take over Hangzhou." Qian Wenfeng said.

Yang Lian said with a smile: "This is the best result, the Tang Dynasty Son is very benevolent, as long as he keeps to himself, he will definitely be fine." Yang Lian's gaze was like an eagle's falcon, staring at Qian Wenfeng tightly, not wanting him to do something stupid.

Qian Wenfeng bowed his head and said, "Yang Jiedu, rest assured, the Qian family will not do stupid things." ā€

"That's good. Qian Jiedu, to be honest, after returning to Jinling this time, Yang intended to recommend Qian Jiedu to guard important towns in the north, such as Yanzhou, or Yunzhou, Qingzhou and other places. ā€

Qian Wenfeng was taken aback and said, "Son of Heaven Ken? ā€

"Whether you want to or not, Yang will definitely fight for it. All parts of Shandong still nominally belong to the Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven will not resist too much, as long as Qian Jiedu is loyal to the imperial court, it will inevitably be reused, and it is not difficult to pay homage to the prime minister in the future. Yang Lian said.

Qian Wenfeng stood up, bowed deeply to Yang Lian, and said: "Yang Jiedu is benevolent and righteous, Qian Mou has received it, if he is sent in the future, he will definitely be smeared with his liver and brains, and he will not give up." ā€

Yang Lian laughed, looked at Qian Wenfeng with deep meaning, and said: "Qian Jiedu's words can't be easily promised, you must know that a gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase, and when he really uses Qian Jiedu, I'm afraid that Qian Jiedu will refuse." ā€

A trace of surprise rose in Qian Wenfeng's heart, and he faintly felt that Yang Lian had something to say, but he couldn't guess what it was. Qian Wenfeng was tempted, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he said a few words and left. Qian Wenfeng returned to his residence, his heart was popping and skipping, he originally had the idea of writing, but now it seems that he has no chance. Yang Lian is very vigilant, and the plan may not come true.

Qian Wenfeng thought about it again and again, and decided to sincerely join Datang,

After a night without words, Qian Wenfeng got up early, but he didn't know that in Yang Lian's big tent, a soldier was telling him that he monitored Qian Wenfeng all night last night and found that he was just sleeping in the big tent without any abnormality. Yang Lian was relieved.

After breakfast, Yang Lian asked Qian Wenfeng to come over, and asked him to lead Lin Renzhao, Zhu Qi and others into the city first, and the five thousand soldiers were ready to go, as for Yang Lian, he and Fang Jinzhao and others waited until the situation in the city was settled, and then entered the city.

Qian Wenfeng took the Tang army into the city, the Wu Yue army defending the city had already gotten the news and opened the city gate, Qian Wenfeng led everyone towards the Wuyue Palace, along the way, there were almost no people, hearing that the Tang army entered the city, most of the people chose to be silent, the king surrendered, what else could they do?

Lin Renzhao and Zhu Qi entered the city one after the other, the soldiers were very vigilant, and the officials in Hangzhou City were also maintaining order at the same time, walking for about two miles, suddenly, a man rushed out of the street, while rushing, he scolded, and said: "Tang Dog, get out of Hangzhou City!" ā€

Lin Renzhao looked at this person sideways, suddenly, the man pulled out a kitchen knife from under his armpit and swooped straight at Lin Renzhao, the soldiers around Lin Renzhao shouted, and was about to step forward, Lin Renzhao snorted coldly, stopped the soldiers, he pulled out the long knife casually, and knocked the kitchen knife in front of him, the man's strength was not comparable to Lin Renzhao, and he couldn't help but kick back a few steps, Wu Yue's official saw it, and he didn't know what to do for a while, after all, this man is their fellow countrymen, in terms of emotion, they are towards the man, and they admire the courage of this man, did what they didn't dare to do.

Several Tang soldiers stepped forward and surrounded the man, the man stood still, the kitchen knife in his hand was gone, the tiger's mouth was numb, Lin Renzhao's blow was too powerful.

Looking at the Tang soldiers who gradually surrounded him, the man laughed, and suddenly, he pulled out a short dagger from his waist and wiped it towards his neck, and he couldn't be insulted by the Tang army if he died. A Tang soldier was quick-eyed, took a step forward, raised his hand and hit the man's elbow, the man's hand was numb, the dagger fell to the ground, and the remaining Tang soldiers reacted, stepped forward and grabbed his hands, pinned behind him.

"Let go of me!" The man shouted.

Lin Renzhao slowly stepped forward, squinted his eyes at the man, and said, "You are very bold. ā€

The man snorted coldly, held his head high, and did not speak.

"What's your name?" Lin Renzhao asked.

The man still didn't speak, and a servant who knew the man said loudly: "General, his name is Shen Huzi." ā€

"Shen Huzi?" Lin Renzhao laughed, his nickname was Lin Huzi, and he didn't expect to meet a Huzi here.

Qian Wenfeng had a trace of bitterness on his face and said, "General Lin, this person ......"

"Tie them up and take them to the palace." Lin Renzhao said.

"Whoa!" The Don soldier said.

At this time, there was a commotion ahead, and dozens of people rushed towards this side, Lin Renzhao restrained the war horse, what was going on? The Tang soldiers beside him also became nervous, standing up straight one by one, holding the handle of the knife in their hands, is it about to start a fight?

The person who came was Qian Hongyu, who was dressed in cloth clothes and carried a wooden staff on his back, which meant to bear the guilt of Jing Hongyu.

Qian Hongyu didn't expect the Tang army to enter the city so quickly, and when he got the news, he hurried over. He didn't know Yang Lian, but when he saw Lin Renzhao standing on his horse, looking forward to it, he was quite heroic, he was busy trotting all the way, walked over, knelt on the ground, and said, "The criminal minister Qian Hongyu has seen the envoy." ā€

Lin Renzhao jumped off the horse, picked up Qian Hongyu, and said, "King Wu Yue, I am just a general under Yang Jiedu's account. ā€

Qian Hongyu was stunned for a moment, he didn't get up, and he didn't continue to kneel, but fortunately, at this time, Lin Renzhao stepped forward to help him, and after looking at him, he said, "I didn't expect King Wuyue to be so young." ā€

Qian Hongyu smiled bitterly and said, "General, hasn't Yang Jiedu entered the city yet?" ā€

"The situation in the city is a little settled, and Yang Jiedu will naturally enter the city." Lin Renzhao said.

Qian Hongyu glanced at Qian Wenfeng, saw him shake his head, and hurriedly said: "What the general said is very true, the criminal minister Qian Hongyu will go to see Yang Jiedu." ā€

Lin Renzhao called a few capitalists, ordered them to lead the troops, control the situation in the city, and asked Zhu Qi to lead the troops to guard the palace, so as not to be taken advantage of by the homeless people and rangers to make trouble, so he took Qian Hongyu and his courtiers, as well as the Shen Huzi, and walked out of the city.

Yang Lian was playing Go with Fang Jinzhao at this time, Qian Hongli didn't feel very good about Yang Lian, if Qian Hongli really surrendered, he would have left the city a long time ago. Yang Lian faintly felt that Qian Hongli would not be reconciled, so he made two preparations.

At the beginning of the day, Yang Lian got the news that Lin Renzhao was rushing with Qian Hongyu and his subordinates, and his heart was finally put down, and the war in Wu Yueguo was finally over.

Fang Jinzhao was overjoyed and said: "Yang Jiedu, the war is finally over, congratulations to Yang Jiedu." ā€

Yang Lian stood up, shook his head, and said: "Although it won, for Datang, the loss is also huge, in addition to consuming a lot of grain and grass, the war in Chu and the Southern Han Dynasty also killed many soldiers, as far as the whole situation is concerned, Datang is only a miserable victory." Fang Shangshu, I plan to persuade His Majesty to sign a military alliance with Shu, one east and one west, to contain the Great Zhou, what do you think? ā€

Fang Jinzhao thought about it and thought about it, although Datang had signed an alliance with Shu, but it was all operated through Fei Yunshan, mainly involving grain and the strategic deployment of the Han State and its successor Zhou State at that time, in fact, Datang has not signed a further alliance for various reasons.

In Fang Jinzhao's view, the most important thing for both sides is to open up the Yangtze River channel, so that Datang can use the grain of Shu, and Shu can also benefit through Datang.

Fang Jinzhao nodded and said, "If you sign a military alliance, you will tell Da Zhou that Da Tang and Da Zhou will have a war after all." ā€

Yang Lian laughed and said, "Fang Shangshu, among all the countries today, only the Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou have the best chance to unify the world, this battle cannot be avoided, and it must be the last battle to unify the world." Of course, the Khitans are not excluded. ā€

Fang Jinzhao's body was shocked, and he said, "Yang Jiedu, you mean, you will have to recover the clouds in the future?" ā€

"Why not? Youyun has been the land of the Central Plains since ancient times, Shi Jingjiao is a Shatuo person, he did not hesitate to sell his interests in order to destroy the Tang Dynasty, such a covenant, the Tang Dynasty will not admit it, and if he does, he is equivalent to a sinner in the Central Plains. If the Tang Dynasty unifies the Central Plains, it will naturally go north. Yang Lian said.

Fang Jinzhao was silent for a moment, and said: "In the future, Yang Jiedu will go north to the Khitan, if the old man is still alive, he will definitely support Yang Jiedu's Northern Expedition." ā€
