Chapter 48: Surrender
King Yan Zhao in the palace of Jicheng learned that the Han army in the city had entered the city, and the doctors in the city rebelled. King Yan Zhao's face turned pale when he heard this, and then he seemed to be a lot more relaxed. The war potential of the Yan Kingdom is too low, and if it fails once, it will take more than ten years of silent accumulation to recover, perhaps this is the best destination for the Yan Kingdom. At this time, Qu Yong hurriedly came to the palace, "King, retreat quickly, the Han army has entered the city." ”
"Ju Xin, Qu Yong, only blame the Yan country for being weak, the old forces are deep-rooted, I don't have time to get rid of these scourges, I can't give full play to your talents, I really wronged you, after the Han Dynasty descends in the future, I will guard this land of Yan for me." King Yan Zhao looked at the drama Xin and said.
"The king, the minister is willing to lead the troops to take you to break through, we can go to Liaoxi, there are still many hot-blooded men in the Yan Kingdom, and it is unknown whether they will make a comeback in the future. Drama Xin said anxiously. Qu Yong nodded in agreement.
"That's it, I'm tired, and the people of Yan are also tired, and I don't want the people of Yan to pay unnecessary casualties for the benefit of me. You promised me to treat the people of Yan Country well in the future, and protect the land of Yan Country under my feet, even if it is for me to protect their safety, otherwise I will not be blind. Ji Xin, Qu Yong and the others cried and their eyes red, and they nodded again and again.
Hey, I miss this sky, I miss this grass and trees, but it's really time to say goodbye, King Yan Zhao muttered in his mouth. After speaking, he closed his eyes and pulled out the sword in his hand and wiped it on his neck. He was afraid that he would regret it when he opened his eyes, but he saw that a red line appeared on his neck and spurted a stream of blood, sprinkled red with the surrounding veil, and with a flutter, King Yan Zhao fell heavily to the ground, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and there was still blood of King Yan Zhao on it.
"The Great King's !!" drama Xin, Qu Yong and the two of them lay on the ground and cried bitterly. They knew that King Yan Zhao was giving them the last kindness with death, because King Yan Zhao did not die, and no monarch would reuse his vassals, at most, he would only seal some high-ranking and light-handed positions, which was equivalent to house arrest. Dozens of forbidden soldiers outside the door heard the screams in the room, and their hearts were desolate and helpless, and they knelt down and cried, "King!"
The Han army camp outside Fangcheng, today's sky is extremely cold, the sky is gray, very quiet gives people a depressing feeling, Wang Zijin is wearing a leather coat, the sky is falling a piece, Wang Zijin stretched out his hand to pick it up, and the snow melts when he gets it. A trace of coolness soaked Wang Zijin's heart, and there was a feeling of heroic end in his heart. Wang Zijin didn't know why he was a little sad in his heart. It wasn't until the news came two days later that King Yan Zhao did not lead his army to break through and committed suicide in Jicheng Palace, that Prince Jin somewhat understood that the original Chu Overlord's refusal to cross the Wujiang River in his previous life was the same as that of King Yan Zhao.
The overlord of Chu can use 30,000 elite soldiers to defeat Liu Bang's 600,000 coalition army, kill Liu Bang's coalition army all over the mountains and wilderness, and defeat more than 300,000 Qin troops with tens of thousands of miscellaneous Chu troops, of which 200,000 are led by Wang Li, a famous general of Qin State (grandson of Wang Qian), this army is the elite of the Qin king's card, which was trained by Meng Tian and made great achievements in the northern attack on the Xiongnu.
The Jicheng of the Yan Kingdom has been occupied, and Qu Yong was ordered by the King of Yan Zhao to surrender to the Han State. Yue Fei led his army to capture or surrender the rest of the city. At this time, Fangcheng was already isolated, and Wang Zijin sent an envoy to recruit Le Yi, although Le Yi killed many soldiers and almost burned himself by setting fire, but he still admired his talent, after all, the two armies fought for their own masters.
In Fang City, in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Le Yi sat quietly on it and listened to the surrender of the envoy of the Han Kingdom. No one in the hall General Yan Guo spoke, and they were all patiently waiting for Le Yi to make a final decision. After saying that, he waited for a long time and didn't respond, and he didn't urge, he stood patiently and waited, and the time passed by second.
I don't know how long it has been, Le Yi coughed lightly: "It's not impossible for me to surrender, but I have three conditions, if King Han can promise me, he will surrender." Le Yi sat in the coach's position and said.
Zhengse, the envoy of the Han Kingdom, said: "General Le, please speak, and I will definitely inform the king of my family in the future." Then I will return to the king and give you an answer. ”
Le Yi nodded to show that he understood, after all, some big decisions, a small messenger can't be the master, just responsible for delivering the news, if on the contrary he can do the master, Le Yi instead doubted the sincerity of the surrender, and said: "First, all the soldiers and generals under my account shall not be held accountable from now on, and they will remain free after surrendering." Second, in the future, my sword will not be raised against the Yan people, and I will not help the Han State attack the Yan Kingdom cities in the next Liaodong, Liaoxi and other places. Third, if the King of Han does something angry and resentful in the future, I Le Yi will not be willing to sit on the eagle dog under his hands, and it will be my freedom to stay at that time. ”
After that, the envoy went out of Fangcheng and returned to the Han army camp, and conveyed Le Yi's meaning to the prince Jin who was waiting, and the civil and military who were waiting for the news by his side also pricked up his ears to listen, and when he heard the two conditions in front, the Han generals praised Le Yi's good virtue, and he was a rare good general with affection and righteousness. When he said the last one, Gao Zhong immediately became angry, "This kid is too ignorant, the lord recruits him to look up to him, he really regards himself as a character, see that I don't understand him with a shot, and what do you say to stay free, lord, I see that he clearly has no intention of surrendering, and ordered me to be the vanguard, let's hurry up and attack the city, anyway, it won't take too long to break the city." ”
Wang Zijin frowned, "Nonsense, do you think that fighting a war is child's play, and there are no casualties in the siege?"
Liu Ji beside him also saw that his lord was a little angry, but it was difficult to say it. He stood up with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, from now on, the lord has got a mirror, and he will do things every day, and the Han industry can be expected." ”
Wang Zijin was speechless, this Liu Bowen blocked his words at once, and it was difficult for him to become a man who did not accept Le Yi Hanye. could only smile bitterly, "Berwyn really understands me, since that's the case, let's pass on my life, I agreed to Le Yi's three conditions." ”
Later, the envoy of the Han Kingdom came to Fangcheng again to convey the meaning of Le Yi, who had agreed to the Han king's agreement, to put forward the conditions.
The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom cheered one after another, and the mood that had been suppressed for several days suddenly disappeared. And a smile appeared at the corner of Le Yi's mouth, the third condition has the meaning of temptation, to prove how open-minded King Han is, a person who has achieved great things can tolerate things that are difficult for ordinary people to tolerate, and what is rare and valuable for a person is how big his mind is, how much he can tolerate the mistakes of his subordinates and make good use of his strengths. And the Lord he readily confesses, as long as the Lord is still there, even if he dies, he will follow.
