Chapter 323 The Last Battle
The stingy ghost got the news and hurriedly ran back to the front line, reporting to Yun Yuhong what had happened during this time, as well as the current situation of the battle between the two armies.
I don't know what this Zeyu monarch thinks, originally the stingy ghost sent someone to send him a message to ask him to reply within three days whether to surrender, but he didn't say anything at the time, and tried to gather the army, several times to attack and block the Moyun army, but when the stingy ghost sent troops to surround his capital, he sent someone to take the initiative to send a letter of surrender, and also put forward requirements, one is to protect his royal family for eternity and wealth, the second is that his royal family and the Moyun royal family are married, in order to repair a hundred years of good, and the third is that the original Zeyu family enjoys the same courtesy as the Moyun family, and to ensure the safety of their property and their descendants.
The stingy ghost was so angry that he tore up the letter of surrender after reading it, and asked the envoy to go back and tell the monarch of Zeyu that it was late, his letter of surrender was sent late, and the order given to him by the ghost king was to capture the capital and destroy Zeyu, but he didn't give him any power to promise him what conditions. Also, Zeyu's death should also be, among the three requirements of his monarch of a country, he left a way back for himself and fought for the rights and interests of the nobles of the family, but he didn't want to do anything for the people of Zeyu, and the country was really unjust.
The envoy who was scolded back said it after he went back, and the monarch of Zeyu was also angry, is there still a letter that is not subject to surrender? If he can't ensure that he and his family can get better treatment, why should he surrender, it is better to fight to the death, maybe he can make a turnaround. It is not a simple matter for the ghost king to take down his capital, and there are still many people in the capital's defenders, the royal forest army, etc., and he may not be able to fight with the ghost king's army with the strength of Zeyu and the whole country.
Zeyu Guojun summoned all the ministers and nobles, told the Ghost King Army's reply, and then said: "It's not that I don't think about you and don't rush for you, but the Ghost King's army refuses to surrender, and the Ghost King is too arrogant and doesn't take us in his eyes, if we don't do anything and don't let the Ghost King know how powerful we are, he won't agree to our conditions." Since the results of everyone on the left and right are similar, why not fight against the water and fight to the death. ”
Others didn't expect this to be the result, they thought that at least the same result as Rui Feng would be, it was a big deal to change places and enjoy wealth and glory, but not being surrendered meant that Mo Yun did not recognize their current status, and their lives and wealth were not guaranteed, and it was not impossible for the ghost king to copy them if he was unhappy, after all, with the example of Yuxue back then, they would not sit still.
Therefore, if you want to negotiate with the ghost king, you must have bargaining chips, at least let the ghost king know that if they are unwilling to surrender, it will not be easy to take this city, maybe they can also fight, saying that if they can't, they can still win! Then they will have more leverage.
The more radical ones began to discuss with Zeyu Guojun how to defend the city, and how to do it was more beneficial to them, while some people began to worry, after all, the generals, including the god of war Mo Lingyu, couldn't do anything, could they do it? What is the benefit of resisting like this, when people persuaded them to surrender, they wanted to fight for bargaining chips and did not reply, but now they are serious but everything is too late. They want to stay alive and have no interest in fighting behind them, so it makes sense to save their possessions and find a chance to escape this catastrophe.
Yun Yuhong listened to the stingy ghost's narration, and glanced at Bai Ziyu at each other, those who are looking for trouble in Beijing are these family nobles, and the family nobles in Beijing are already stuffed, and they really can't let go of these Zeyu, so there is no need to leave hidden dangers for the future, and solve them at one time.
Yun Yuhong said: "Spread the word out, Zeyu loves to surrender or not, if you want to surrender, don't talk about conditions for me, immediately put down the sword soldiers, I feel that I can leave them a life, it is easier to fight, and my ghost king will accompany me to the end." ”
The stingy ghost looked at Yun Yuhong's stomach, just like that, you still have to go to the battlefield? Bai Ziyu said with a smile: "Hong'er can't fight, isn't there still you, you won't tell me that you can't take it without Hong'er in this capital!" ”
The stingy ghost patted his chest and said: "What is this little capital, although the master and the master are relieved, they are wrapped up in me." ”
The stingy ghost turned around and left, and with Yun Yuhong's decision, he had confidence in his heart, and immediately arranged soldiers to prepare for the siege of the city.
Yun Yuhong took Bai Ziyu's hand and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to stay here until I give birth, but it's good that Yulang can come, and the next government affairs are in charge, so I have saved a lot of trouble." ”
Bai Ziyu smiled, "As long as your body doesn't ask, I'm not worried here, but I'm worried about the situation in Beijing." ”
Yun Yuhong thought for a while and said, "The little prince has made great progress recently, so it's better to send him back to preside over the overall situation." ”
Bai Ziyu thought for a while and said, "He's still a little smaller, I'm afraid he can't suppress those people." ”
Yun Yuhong smiled: "If you can't suppress it, you have to suppress it, that's his fate." Let him practice his hands. With us, there won't be any big mess. As for the original work in his hands, didn't you say that you would send officials from Beijing out, then let some of them come out to work. ”
Bai Ziyu also smiled: "It seems that you have decided what to do, and only you have a way to get these old slippery heads out of Beijing." ”
Yun Yuhong asked people to invite Hu Lewen and said: "There is nothing important about the war here, but I now lack civilian officials to manage affairs, especially after I take Zeyu, I don't want to use Zeyu's officials, so I want you to bring 50,000 soldiers and horses to Beijing to help me escort some civilian officials, of course, I will first let my father give an order, and I will ask Xiangye to help you set the personnel, if they don't come, you will be arrested, and if you resist, you will be directly executed on the spot for the crime of resisting the decree." Got it? ”
Hu Lewen was stunned, but after all, he had been in officialdom for a long time, and he quickly figured out the trick, and immediately responded: "The last general will obey the order." ”
Yun Yuhong wrote a letter, Bai Ziyu drew up a list, sealed it and handed it to Hu Lewen, Hu Lewen ordered the soldiers and horses to set off immediately.
The stingy ghost is now full of confidence, and after preparing everything, he began to attack the city, and the soldiers defending the city were also tenacious, guarding the city tightly, making it difficult for the Moyun army to take a step forward, but it really had some momentum of a battle behind it.
The stingy ghost has now also found some tricks, such as asking the soldiers to read out loud Zeyu's letter of surrender on the spot, and especially emphasizing the three requirements, when the voice came on the battlefield, many Zeyu soldiers were deflated, and the momentum was as great as before. It turned out that the monarch insisted on fighting without negotiating the conditions of surrender, what else did they think about defending their home and defending the country, and in the bloody battle, what was the point of them continuing to fight like this?
Ze Yu's army is weak, but the Moyun soldiers are full of momentum, originally Ze Yu is ready to surrender, it seems that they also think that they can't beat us, and the ghost king doesn't even agree to their conditions, doesn't it show that they have absolute confidence in this battle? Since they will win, of course they must work hard.
In just half a day or so, the stingy ghost finally commanded the army to break through the east city gate, and as soon as the city gate was opened, the Moyun soldiers poured in like a tide, and the battle began to appear one-sided.
In the afternoon, Zeyu's soldiers began to retreat, and the stingy man commanded the army to attack the capital and come straight to the palace.
In the Zeyu Palace at some time, after the monarch of Zeyu heard the news of the city's breaking, he sat on the dragon chair and said nothing. The ministers below had a lot of discussions, and some said that they would simply stop fighting, and they would surrender directly without saying any conditions, and maybe they would be able to save their lives; Some said that it was better to escape, and further north, there was still a piece of land that was not occupied by Moyun, and it might be a new place there;
Looking at the ministers below, the king of Chiyan only felt cold, he has always been a very poor king, but in a few years, the original good country is gone, and he is the king of the dead country, not to mention, he is still a monarch who does not even disdain to accept surrender to others, the ghost king made people read the surrender book in public, isn't this telling the world how timid he is and how stupid and incompetent he is, how will future generations comment on him, does he still have the face to live?
Of course, he has no face to live, these people below are all playing their own little calculations, maybe they can live better with the master, why, if he doesn't live, they don't want to live.
As if thinking about something, Zeyu Guojun sighed, "That's it, since the city can't be defended, then you can only surrender." Don't worry, my lords, I will tell the Ghost King that with the wealth of my royal family, I will save the lives of the ministers, and I think the Ghost King will not let it go. ”
The ministers bowed and saluted, and many of them were even more happy.
Chiyan Guojun said lightly: "The fate of the monarch and the ministers of the chat with everyone is over, I am afraid that it will not be easy to see each other from today, or they will never see each other again, so I will chat with everyone and have a goodbye bar." ”
With a wave of his hand, many palace people came in with some wine glasses and wine jugs, and filled them up for the ministers, and many people were suspicious, what kind of wine to drink at this time, this wine is no problem.
Chiyan Guojun picked up the wine glass and said: "This is the last time to salute all the adults, after drinking this cup, everyone must follow the mandate of heaven, I am the king of the dead country, you are the ministers of the dead country, everyone cherishes it." ”
After speaking, drink it all first.
Many people saw that Zeyu Guojun had drunk it, and they all settled down to finish the wine, while others were hesitating. Zeyu Guojun chuckled and said, "Why, this country has not yet died, and some people will not listen to my words?" ”
After thinking for a while, he said, "Alas, drink it, don't you know that I and many people have drunk, do we have something to do?" How simple I want your life to be, the secret guards in this temple can handle you. ”
The others saw that Zeyu Guojun was reasonable, and the others really did not have any discomfort, so they also drank the wine in the cup with confidence. Zeyu Guojun smiled and said: "Okay, that's right, this is my good courtier, I won't let you suffer." ”
