Chapter 540: The Fall of the Kingdom of You

Nie Xing knew very well that once he surrendered, it would be a catastrophe for You Guo, but if he did not surrender, the result might be even more tragic.

Nie Xing, who was over fifty years old, seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden, and his face had lost its luster and was covered with a layer of dead ashes.

Seeing that Nie Xing had not started writing for a long time, Lin Haotian on the side was quite impatient, and he asked indifferently: "What are His Royal Highness King You waiting for? This is His Highness's last chance, if the coalition forces break the city, you won't even have the qualifications to bargain with me." ”

Nie Xing muttered and asked, "The Jin State sent troops to attack my You Country, just to avenge the revenge of the You State against the Jin Country?"

As long as You Guo is there, there will always be a powerful and terrifying enemy to the south of Jin. You Guo can be said to be the henchman of Jin Guo, and Lin Haotian will naturally not let go of any opportunity to destroy You Guo.

He didn't answer, but asked with a smile, "Is this important?"

Nie Xingchang sighed, turned his heart sideways, and wrote a letter of surrender on a piece of paper.

He can also be regarded as a person who dares to be a daring person, in the descending book, Nie Xing took all the faults on himself, indicating that all disputes were caused by him, and had nothing to do with You Guo, and he was also willing to pay the corresponding price and be punished accordingly.

After he finished writing the descent, Nie Xing read it roughly, and then don't look over his head and throw the descenting book to Lin Haotian. The latter didn't answer, but said with a smile: "Your Highness seems to have missed a little." ”

"What?" Nie Xing glared at him angrily.

"If you don't cover the jade seal, who knows if this descending book was written by Brother Wang?" Lin Haotian reminded slowly.

Nie Xing gritted his teeth, and finally took out King You's seal from his cuff and stamped it fiercely on the descending book.

As soon as he finished stamping the seal, Lin Haotian reached out and took the book away, held it in his palm, and read it from beginning to end. Then he didn't say anything more, and walked out of the side room.

"Lin Haotian, don't forget your promise to Ben Shuai, if you dare to break your word, this king will not let you go"

"Ha Luha" Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, shrugged his shoulders as he walked out, and said, "I'm not afraid of you being a man." Are you still afraid of being a ghost?"

Seeing Lin Haotian's back disappear outside the door, Nie Xing was like a deflated ball, suddenly slumped to the ground, his face was pale, and sweat was like rain.

Lin Haotian returned to the lobby, and Nie Dan and the others, who had been waiting impatiently, surrounded him one after another and asked, "How are General Lin and his father (king) talking?"

Smiling slightly at everyone, Lin Haotian handed the letter of surrender written by Nie Xing to Nie Dan. said: "King You has agreed to surrender, this is a letter of surrender written by King You himself!"

Although everyone had expected such a result, when they heard Lin Haotian say it himself, they still couldn't help but take a cool breath, and their eyes were also focused on the book of descent that Nie Dan was holding.

Nie Dan's hands trembled, and he looked down at the book written by his father, and his heart could be described as full of flavors.

He understood his father's temper and made him surrender. That was more difficult for him to accept than killing him, but now. But my father wrote a letter of descent, and I can't see my father's helplessness and pain from the words on the descent.

The other ministers and generals of the You country also have a very complicated mood, and the surrender of the whole country is undoubtedly a great shame for the You country, which has always been tough, and it is really shameless to be a special person. But thankfully, the war is finally over, and they finally did not fall victim to this absurd war.

"The king is wise!" a minister of You Guo burst into tears, knelt on the ground with a thud, and knocked again and again towards the side of the room. He bowed down. The other ministers and generals also knelt down, and they all burst into tears.

Soon, Nie Xing's letter of surrender was spread from the Gongzi's Mansion to the outside of the mansion, and the ministers and soldiers of You Guo who gathered outside read this letter, and the field immediately fell into silence, and after a short time, the crying outside the Gongzi's Mansion rang out.

Many soldiers of the You Kingdom involuntarily threw away the weapons in their hands, and with a blank face, they stood in place in a daze, unable to move.

For them, this sudden drop was too shocking and too overwhelming.

Nie Xing's personal letter, the news of the surrender of the whole country spread quickly in Huaiyang City as if it had grown wings, not only the people in the city heard about it, but the news also spread to the ears of the defenders of the four cities.

Hundreds of thousands of You Guo's Central Army fought bloodily on the battlefield with the coalition forces outside the city, and would rather die than retreat half a step, no matter how fierce and frequent the attacks of the coalition forces were, they never succeeded in attacking the city, but when they were desperately fighting with the enemy, the adults in the rear ordered the whole country to surrender, and now what is the point of them fighting here?

Nie Xing's surrender was no less than an atomic bomb to the soldiers of the You army, and the morale of the people immediately fell to the bottom, collapsing instantly, and groups of soldiers gave up resistance, poured down the city wall like a tide, and fled into the city.

But there are many You generals who still refuse to give up, and are still doing their best to stabilize the chaotic situation on their side, but at this time, the four important ministers of You Guo, the left and right prime ministers, and the imperial historian rushed to the four cities respectively, and officially read Nie Xing's will to the defenders of the four cities, and the whole army immediately gave up resistance, opened the city gate, welcomed the coalition army into the city, and surrendered to the coalition army.

As the letter was officially transmitted to the four cities, the defenders and soldiers also fell into complete despair, and the shouts and killings outside the city were still there, but the silence above the city walls was terrifying. The soldiers and soldiers of You held the spears and spears in their hands, slowly slid to the ground, and cried bitterly.

For thousands of years, the country has experienced so many wars and golden rains, but it is the first time that the whole country has surrendered, and the indescribable sense of shame is imprinted on the hearts of every You.

But as the monarch, Nie Xing has personally ordered, no matter how unwilling and unconvinced the soldiers of the You army are, it will not help.

It didn't take long for the white flags to be erected on the heads of the four cities of Huaiyang, and at the same time, the drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and the soldiers of the You army who were the lords of the four cities walked out of the city gate one after another.

You Jun's sudden surrender also stunned the coalition forces outside the city, Song Hao immediately reacted after a short period of shock, it must be Lin Haotian's trick to sneak into King You's palace that worked wonders, and it was even likely that Nie Xing had been captured, so You Jun could only be forced to surrender.

Song Hao was overjoyed, and almost at the same time ordered the whole army to enter the city, and temporarily imprisoned the surrendered soldiers of the You army in his own joint camp.

The defenders in Huaiyang City were no less than 300,000 people. Fortunately, the joint camp area of the coalition army is large enough, and it is easy to accommodate the surrendered soldiers of the You army.

Just as the Xinchi and You Second Army accepted You Guo's surrendered troops, the Jin army rushed into Huaiyang as fast as possible, and went straight to King You's palace without going anywhere else.

Upon arrival, the Jin army dispersed. The palace was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and it was firmly controlled. There are a lot of treasures in the palace of You Guo, and most of the important people such as the princes and relatives of You Guo are also in the palace, so of course the Jin army wants to seize this opportunity.

By the time Song Hao reacted, it was already a step too late to send his own army to take over the palace, and the Jin army surrounded the palace into an iron bucket array, not giving an inch. No one inside the palace could get out, and no one from outside could come in.

The Jin army controlled the palace, and the new Red Army also took over Huaiyang City, so far, Huaiyang has basically fallen into the hands of the coalition army.

After Song Hao and the generals entered the city, they immediately rushed to Gongzi's Mansion and joined Lin Haotian.

At this time, most of the ministers of You Country also gathered in Gongzi's Mansion. When they arrived, they took these ministers into custody on the spot and detained them in the prince's mansion.

Wait for them to see Lin Haotian. Song Hao stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said: "Brother Lin's strange plan, winning with one blow, and pacifying Huaiyang, is admirable and admirable!"

Lin Haotian was happy, and said with a smile: "The reason why our army was able to successfully take Huaiyang in this battle. It's not my credit alone, Brother Song is also a great contributor and has made great efforts!"

He was neither arrogant nor arrogant, and took the initiative to share the credit with Song Hao, which naturally made the latter extremely useful.

Song Hao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Just as he was greeting Lin Haotian, Nie Dan came over, bowed respectfully to him, and said in a low voice: "Nie Dan, the guilty minister, meet His Royal Highness King Song!"

Seeing him, Song Hao's face immediately sank.

At the end, Lin Haotian smiled and said, "Childe doesn't have to be polite. ”

Lin Haotian said: "This time, if it weren't for Nie Dan's boy-son holding King You hostage, it would not be easy for our army to break through Huaiyang, so Nie Dan's son-in-law is also indispensable!"

Song Hao sneered in his heart, Nie Dan has made a lot of contributions, it is true that he is digging his own grave. However, he could also hear Lin Haotian's words, now Huaiyang is still unstable, and he still needs to leave Nie Dan to stabilize the situation, at least not move him now.

Song Hao took a deep breath, suppressed the disgust in his heart, waved his hand to Nie Dan, and said, "Childe doesn't have to be polite! Everything is your father's fault, and it has nothing to do with Childe." ”

Hearing his words, Nie Dan's heart finally fell a little when he mentioned his throat, and he arched his hand and said, "Nie Dan thank Your Highness for your irresponsible kindness." ”

Let's talk about Song Hao, he sat in the lobby for a while, then stood up and pulled Lin Haotian outside.

Seeing this, Nie Dan originally wanted to follow him, but after thinking about it, he gave up, for everyone, he is an outsider, there must be many words among the nations that he doesn't want to hear, the prince of You Guo, so why should he be cheeky and dislike people?

Lin Haotian and Song Hao came to the front courtyard outside the lobby, and Song Hao first waved his hand to the many guards around him, signaling them all to retreat.

After everyone had withdrawn from a distance, he asked in a low voice, "Brother Lin, what are you going to do with Nie Dan?"

"This ......" Lin Haotian didn't answer, but asked, "What does Brother Song mean?"

"Nie Dan can't stay! you have to ...... early," he gestured with his palm as he spoke.

Lin Haotian nodded with a smile and responded: "I also have this intention, but now, Nie Dan is still of some use to us, and when we completely control Huaiyang and stabilize the overall situation, it will not be too late to get rid of him." ”

Song Hao stroked his palms and smiled: "Brother Lin is very strategic, so you don't have to worry about your brother anymore." After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin is so fast!"

Stunned by his particularly famous sentence, Lin Haotian asked, "How can Brother Song say this?"

Song Hao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Our army has just broken through the city, and the brothers of the Jin army have surrounded the palace, and my new Red Army can't enter if they want to!"

Lin Haotian blinked, then smiled on his back. In fact, he did not privately order the Jin army to control the palace as soon as the city was broken, thinking that this was what Ding Feng and Jin Cheng meant. Both of them are commanders with experience in destroying countries, so they naturally know very well where the most important place is after breaking through the capital of a country, so it is not surprising that the Jin army seized the opportunity.

He smiled and said, "The huge Huaiyang, the richest place in Youguo, how can the money be in the palace? You Guo's treasury is full of white flowers, hasn't Brother Song sent troops to take it over?"

Song Hao gasped, yes, how could he forget the treasury, if it is a big country, how much gold and silver do you have to hoard in the treasury?

Come to think of it. He hurriedly turned his head and shouted, "Where is Pang Qiong?"

"The last general!" With an answer, a tall new red general ran over, stood still in front of Song Hao, and intervened to give a salute.

"You take your subordinates and soldiers to the treasury, and you must guard the treasury well, and don't let thieves take advantage of the chaos, understand?"

"The last general obeys!" An Jiang, whose name is Pang Qiong, nodded. Then he sped away.

Lin Haotian's ability to change the topic can be regarded as very clever, and he used the treasury of You Guo to easily resolve the matter of his own monopoly of the palace.

Song Hao, who came back to his senses, looked into the hall and asked in a low voice: "Brother Lin, there are not a few ministers and generals under Nie Dan's command, are these people also going to be escorted back to our army's camp?"

This is a difficult problem! Lin Haotian rubbed his chin lightly and remained silent.

Leaving behind these ministers and generals of the You country is a hidden danger and trouble for oneself after all. But they are also Nedan's henchmen, if they are also detained. It doesn't make sense.

After pondering for a long time, he said, "Don't touch them for the time being, and when we start to get rid of Nie Dan, it's not too late to eradicate these people together." ”

Song Hao had no objection, and arched his hand and said, "In the opinion of Brother Yilin!"

Lin Haotian's face turned straight and said, "Now." We must restrain our respective soldiers, make a posture of temporarily taking over Huaiyang, and not infringe on the people in the city, only in this way can the situation in Huaiyang be stabilized as soon as possible. We can also take this opportunity to wipe out the remnants of the You Army and the remnants of Nie Xing scattered in the city, so as not to leave them a chance to make waves. ”

Song Hao nodded and agreed: "What Brother Lin said is extremely true, when the rest of Nie Xing's party is cleared, we can also free up our hands and solve the Nie Dan family." ”

Lin Haotian put his hands behind his back, but smiled silently.

After the coalition army broke through Huaiyang, it really behaved like a righteous army with strict military discipline, and did not commit any offense against the people in the city, and posted a notice to calm the people, explaining that the coalition army was on the orders of the kings of various countries to crusade against the traitors, and it was only Nie Xing's party that was to be eradicated, and it would not implicate the people of Youguo.

The rules and regulations of the coalition army and the peace and security of themselves gradually put the people of You at ease, and there was no large-scale turmoil in Huaiyang City because of the invasion of the coalition army.

Taking advantage of this calm time, the coalition army first secretly transferred Nie Xing out of the city, escorted him back to the coalition camp, and put him under strict guard, and then the coalition army used Nie Dan's knowledge and familiarity with Huaiyang and the imperial court to round up those ministers who were loyal to Nie Xing and hid in various places in Huaiyang. Even in the process of rounding up, the coalition forces deliberately avoided the people and tried not to hurt the innocent, even for those ministers who were loyal to Nie Xing, they only arrested themselves and did not involve his family.

In the first three days of the capture of Huaiyang by the coalition forces, what they did was commendable and not excessive, of course, at least on the surface.

During these three days, the coalition forces were actually not idle, and when the night curfew came, the coalition forces began to act quietly.

The Jin army transported the gold, silver and jewelry in King You's palace to the Jin army camp outside the city in batches, and the new Red Army was not polite, the soldiers rushed to empty You Guo, and a cart of silver was also pulled out of Huaiyang at night and sent back to their station.

Now, it is the time to loot the wealth of Huaiyang, Song Hao naturally chooses to live in Huaiyang City and deal with the affairs of the city nearby, but Lin Haotian is an exception, not only does he still live in the camp of the coalition army, but also after the Jin army looted the palace, even the Jin army was withdrawn from Huaiyang by him. He offered to Song Hao that Jin Jun be in charge of guarding You Jun's prisoners, and the latter was also happy and relaxed, and happily threw this trouble to Lin Haotian.

The arrest of Nie Xing's remnants by the coalition army is still in full swing, and Lin Haotian, who has already retreated to the outside of the city, is happy to be idle, and after breakfast in the morning, he takes a walk in the camp, walking in the east and walking in the west, leisurely.

He could hold his breath, but the generals of the Jin Army below couldn't sit still.

From time to time, the New Red Army raided Nie Xing's remnants and scavenged the gold, silver and jewelry into their own pockets, and the Jin Army, who had the greatest credit but was stationed outside the city at this time, could only stare at this, how could the soldiers be convinced?

Ding Feng, Jin Cheng, Zhang Bufan, Ling Wuya and other generals came to Lin Haotian one after another, and when they saw that the adults were still walking in the camp, the faces of the generals became more and more ugly.

Everyone stepped forward one after another and bowed to Lin Haotian, "My lord!"

Lin Haotian turned around, looked at everyone inexplicably, and asked, "Why are you all here?" Is there an accident in the city?"

Zhang Bufan has the most straightforward temperament and speaks the most directly. He tilted his head and muttered, "There is no accident in the city, but the attitude of the lord surprised the ministers." ”

Lin Haotian was happy, and asked with a smile: "Extraordinary, just say it if you have anything to say, it's not your personality to turn around and turn around." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bufan was no longer polite, and said calmly: "My lord, you should go into the city now to take a look, and see that the gold, silver and jewels looted by the New Red Army are all pulled back by carriage and carriage, isn't your adult not moved at all? Even if the adult is not moved, but ...... Think about the soldiers below, too!"

Lin Haotian just responded indifferently, and then shook his head and said, "You come with me!" As he spoke, he walked forward. I don't know where Lord Lu Dao wants to take him, everyone looks at each other and follows behind Lin Haotian.

After walking a short distance, Lin Haotian stopped in front of three giant tents. (To be continued......)
