As Li Jing posted a list of policy benefits.

Suddenly, the people of the entire Burning City began to stir, not in turmoil, but in asking around whether these policies and benefits were real.

In the end, it was Song Chen who came forward and assured everyone that these policies were true and that all the people of Daxia were treated equally.

Song Chen, as the former lieutenant of the Burning Dynasty, was still very prestigious in the Burning City, and after hearing what he said, the people basically believed it, and they didn't care why Song Chen would speak for the Great Xia Dynasty.

Flame City.

This is a large city in the north of the Burning Dynasty, and even in the entire Burning Dynasty, it can also rank in the top twenty, which is really a first-class city.

However, at this moment, there was a solemn atmosphere in the city, and the streets were empty, except for some patrolling city guards.

On the city wall, it was also different from usual, not only the city gate was closed, but it was also covered with soldiers who were waiting for battle, and all kinds of city defense equipment were neatly placed.

In front of the city, there is a stone house, and at this time, there are some figures standing in the stone house.

"General Shen, when will the imperial court's reinforcements arrive! We have been closed for half a month, if the imperial court reinforcements are not yet available, I'm afraid there will be no more food and grass!"

An adjutant general said to the figure in front of him with an anxious face at this time.

As a large city of the Burning Dynasty, it stands to reason that the garrison should be sufficient, but half a month ago, an enemy legion suddenly came, called the Han Wu Legion.

As soon as they came into contact, they were beaten and urinated, if they hadn't run fast and closed the city gate in time, I'm afraid I don't know how many of them would have come back.

Now, this Han Wu army is surrounded outside their burning city, and it does not force an attack, so it does so.

They didn't attack, but they didn't dare to go out! They couldn't fight, so the two sides were at a stalemate.

However, the stalemate is a stalemate, and Radiant Fire City is a large city, with more than one million people in the city, and the daily consumption is a huge number.

Now, it has only been half a month in the past, and the grain and grass reserves in the city are almost insufficient, after all, Radiant Fire City belongs to the city within the Burning Dynasty, not a border, and there is no habit of storing grain.

"Alas, I won't hide it from you, yesterday Ben Jiang received a letter from the Burning City, which was sent to me by my third uncle, he said, the Burning City has been occupied by this Great Xia Dynasty at this time, Your Majesty and the others, I'm afraid it has already been ..... It's gone. ”

At this time, Shen Dong, the master of Radiant Fire City, sighed and slowly told the truth.

"This ...... This is impossible! We have not received any rescue from the imperial court at all! Why did the Burning City fall? And doesn't the Burning City still have a formation? At least there is no problem with delaying it for a month, right?"

Below, a lieutenant general suddenly had a face full of disbelief!

You must know that the Burning City is the most powerful defensive city in their dynasty, and it was actually captured without asking for help, which is said by no one to believe it!

Shen Dong also sighed and said bitterly: "The news was sent to me by my third uncle, and he also said that now that the Great Xia Dynasty has successfully taken charge of the Burning City, the people have raised their hands to welcome it, and he also advised me to let us surrender as soon as possible, don't make fearless sacrifices, the policy of the Great Xia Dynasty is much better than that of the Burning Dynasty." ”

After speaking, he looked at the rest of the people and said softly: "Now, the enemy army is strong, and it has besieged my Burning City for half a month, and the message we sent out for help has not been replied to so far, I'm afraid that the Burning City is really more auspicious, so what should I do now, do you have anything to say?"

Everyone was silent, and after a while, an adjutant general said in a low voice: "If what the general said is true, once the Burning City is taken by Great Xia, Your Majesty and the others will also suffer, then what's the point of our resistance?"

"But as a general of the Burning Dynasty, if we surrender directly, how can we be worthy of the imperial court's hard work for many years?"

An adjutant general made a different view.

Suddenly, the rest of the people also began to discuss, in general, most of them agreed to surrender, but there were also a few who wanted to wait a little longer to see if they could wait for the opportunity.

In the end, everyone's eyes were still on Shen Dong.

"General, how to choose, you make a decision!"

Shen Dong was silent, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "That's it, Ben will go out of the city later to meet the other party's commander, it's okay to surrender, but we need the other party to promise us, we must not harass the people in the city, and we must treat our soldiers well, otherwise, our army is willing to resist to the end!"

"Well, then according to what the general said, if the other party really agrees, then it doesn't matter if we surrender, as long as we can ensure the safety of the people and brothers, it doesn't matter if we wait. ”

"Yes, now that there is no burning city, if we continue to resist, if we anger the other party, I am afraid that they will take out anger on the people. ”

A group of people also echoed it.

......

Outside the city, the army of the Han Wu Legion could not drain the water of Yaohuo's siege, and did not attack, so it was surrounded.

In the big tent, Wei Qing was sitting in the main tent, looking at the topographic map in front of him, thinking about his next move.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "General, the Lord of Radiant Fire City is coming, and he wants to see you." ”

"The Lord of Flame City?"

Wei Qing was stunned!

Then there was a hint of surprise on his face!

"Let him in!"

A moment later, a middle-aged man, led by the guards, walked in.

"You go down first, something is going to call you!"

After letting the guards go down, Wei Qing looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said with a smile: "The master general of Radiant Fire City, I don't know what to do with finding this general?"

Shen Dong's face was calm, and he clenched his fists and said: "Presumably, Your Excellency is the guard general of the Han Wu Legion, Shen Dong, the main general of the defenders of Xia Yao Huo City, came here this time because he wanted to discuss something with the guard general." ”

"General Shen, please speak. ”

Shen Dong nodded, and then said slowly: "Lord Guard, your dynasty has now captured the Burning City, right?"

Wei Qing was silent, just nodded.

Shen Dong took a deep breath, and then resolutely said: "Lord Guard, we know that Radiant Fire City will not be able to stop the attack of your army, but our army belongs to the army of the Burning Dynasty after all, so what should be done still has to be done." ”

"However, now that the Burning City has fallen, if we continue to resist, it will only increase the casualties, so after the discussion of several defenders of our Burning City, we have decided to open the door and surrender!"

After speaking, he glanced at Wei Qing and found that Wei Qing was still looking at him with a smile, so he continued: "But if we surrender, I hope that your dynasty can agree to a few of our requests, otherwise, although we know that we are not the opponent of your army, even if we fight to the last soldier, we will fight to the death!"

Wei Qing's face turned cold, and then he said lightly: "General Shen, you must know that the reason why our army did not take the initiative to attack is to give you a chance, as for the conditions, this depends on my mood towards Your Majesty, otherwise even if you fight to the death, our army can easily take you." ”

Shen Dong nodded, and he didn't get angry, just continued: "Lord Guard, the conditions we put forward are very simple, not for our own sake, but just hope, if your army enters Yaohuo City, I hope that it will not harass the people, and after our army surrenders, I also hope that your army can treat those soldiers kindly, if they want to retire, don't stop your army!"

"Oh, that's all?"

"Yes!"

Wei Qing was a little surprised, and glanced at Shen Dong more, but he didn't expect that the chief general of Yaohuo City was still a general who knew how to care about the people, and he didn't put forward conditions for himself, but for the sake of the people and his soldiers.

"You can rest assured that as long as the people and soldiers in the city do not pose a threat to our army, our army will not harm them, on the contrary, as long as they take refuge in our Great Xia, then all the policies and benefits will be raised to the same level as our dynasty, you should know why the people on the other side of the burning city surrendered to our dynasty so quickly, it is because the purpose of my dynasty is to treat the people well. ”

When Shen Dong heard this, his face was happy, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with his fists clenched: "Since the guard general has agreed, then go back to the city to arrange the surrender now, as long as the city gate is opened, your army can enter the city." ”

"Well, as soon as possible!"

After Shen Dong left, Wei Qing found the herald and asked him to inform him to prepare to enter the city.

As for whether Shen Dong is lying, Wei Qing is not afraid of this, as long as they dare to open the city gate, whether they lie or not, Yaohuo City is theirs.

When the difference in strength reaches a certain point, even if the other party has a conspiracy, he is not afraid.

The reason why he has been here for so long is because the location of Radiant Fire City is relatively important, it is on a connection point, and if you take Radiant Fire City, then no matter which direction you go, you can have a supply point.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Han Wu Legion, he would have forcibly taken Yaohuo City a long time ago, and he just didn't want to destroy this city, so he dragged it out until now.

However, half a month is already the limit, fortunately, Yaohuo City made the right choice, otherwise Wei Qing would have to attack forcibly.

Meanwhile.

The Lingwu Legion and the Dingwu Legion are also frantically collecting the city.

The news of the capture of the Burning City, under the arrangement of Great Xia, has been frantically spread to the entire territory of the Burning Dynasty.

Moreover, the people in the Burning City are basically people with heads and faces in the Burning Dynasty, they have countless relationships in various places, and under Song Chen's hint, these people have also passed on the preferential policies of Great Xia to the people everywhere.

Therefore, when the legions of Great Xia went, almost most of the cities fell to the wind, and even some diehards were shattered under the force of several major legions!

There were even some cities, the officials wanted to resist, but they were killed by the common people and rangers, and they directly opened the door and surrendered.

In just over two months, almost all the cities of the Burning Dynasty were hung with the banner of Great Xia.

Although there are not enough men to defend, as long as you take a few important cities in an area, then the rest of the places are not enough.

The entire expedition lasted for more than four months before it ended, and Xia Ren's goal was half a year, and the eight main battle legions of Great Xia not only did not lag behind, but also completed it more than a month ahead of schedule.

At this point, the Great Xia Dynasty completely set foot in the Eastern Regions and took the most critical step in the struggle for world domination.
