Chapter Ninety-Three: Submission
Xia Ling knew Tang Jun, and he was so happy that he almost jumped up and said, "Come, they are coming, it is our army that has won." β
Ye Qiu had been worried just now, afraid that just the three of them were here, it would be difficult to deal with any accident for a while, now seeing that the Tang army had attacked, the fear just now dissipated suddenly, Ye Qiu had never seen a real battle, so many Tang troops appeared in front of him at this time, after all, he was also a member of the Tang Kingdom, Ye Qiu's heart suddenly rose with a sense of pride, Ye Qiu looked at Xia Ling and said, "Senior sister, the Tang army is really heroic." β
Zhuang Qingran finally showed a long-lost smile on his face, and he said pleasantly: "Get up." β
Those generals and soldiers slowly stood up, although their clothes were torn, stained with a trace of blood and stains, but at this time their spirits were very full, and those people from the Teng Wangfu had all been pushed to the ground by the soldiers who came in from the Tang Kingdom, unable to move.
Zhuang Qingran greeted those Tang generals a little about the battle situation, and then said to Gongsun Yu: "Have you seen it all, the Xisha Kingdom has been defeated." β
Gongsun Yu's expression was indifferent, he involuntarily stood up slowly, and then the person seemed to have lost his mind, and said softly: "Defeated, defeated, everything is over." As he spoke, Gongsun Yu took out the knife hidden in his cuffs, and stabbed it at himself, Zhuang Qingran hurriedly waved his hand, and the knife fell off from Gongsun Yu's hand, Zhuang Qingran took the knife, threw it on the ground, and said, "Why do you bother?"
Gongsun Yu didn't know why Zhuang Qingran did this, his mind cleared up a little, looked at Zhuang Qingran, and said: "The country is ruined, what is the use of my life, but you don't even give me a happy death." β
Zhuang Qingran said: "Why bother, the world is so big, the Xisha country is gone, are you just dead?" The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, he should make meritorious contributions, and the same is true of the Tang King I assisted a long time ago, when he was driven out of the Tang Kingdom and exiled in a foreign land, he couldn't stand the hunger and cold eyes on the road, and wanted to die several times, but fortunately he survived in the end, and then slowly had the Tang Kingdom with this vast territory now, you are alive, although the Xisha Kingdom is gone, but our Tang Kingdom treats your people well, you can rest assured. β
Gongsun Yu sneered and said: "Meritorious service, what qualifications do I have to see meritorious service, a minister who has lost the country, and has been ridiculed by the people of the world, why, you say, why?"
Zhuang Qingran suddenly said sternly: "Why? With your grace to me, with your ability to recruit talents from all over the world to make this small Xisha country so powerful, to tell the truth, if it weren't for the existence of the Tang Kingdom, maybe your Xisha Kingdom would have already shocked all the countries in the world, do you know? You let me see your Tang Emperor who was exiled to the people a long time ago, he is the same as you, you are very similar to him." β
Gongsun Yu didn't know why, with some tears in his eyes, he stared at Zhuang Qingran quietly, and said, "You, what are you talking about, I, what should I do?"
Ye Qiu had already withdrawn the Qingguang Sword at this time, and the sword shadow of the Qingguang Sword had also dissipated, Zhuang Qingran pointed to the people in the Teng Wangfu who had been subdued by the soldiers of the Tang State outside, and said, "Look at it, if you die, what will happen to these people? If you live, you are their hope, and you only have Xisha Country in your eyes? Follow me, as long as you can make meritorious contributions, I will ask the current Tang Emperor to give you a larger territory, isn't this better than your current death?"
Gongsun Yu seemed to understand Zhuang Qingran's words, and he said, "What do you mean, is it for me to submit to you?"
Zhuang Qingran smiled again, looked at Gongsun Yu and said, "I said so many great truths, that's exactly what I meant. β
Gongsun Yuzheng was a little hesitant in his heart, and the military advisor of Xisha Kingdom, who was kneeling outside, suddenly broke free from one of the soldiers who was pressing him, and crawled to the feet of Gongsun Yu, pulling Gongsun Yu's royal robe, and said anxiously: "Lord, the soldiers of the Tang State who attacked the Xisha Kingdom this time are too strong, we have no ability to defeat the Tang State at all, surrender, Lord Wang." β
After speaking, the military advisor kept kowtowing to Gongsun Yu, looking very courteous, and said: "Thank you for the general's grace of not killing, thank you general." At this time, two more Tang soldiers ran forward and pressed the military advisor to the ground, Zhuang Qingran saw that this military advisor was very familiar, so he said: "You are a person who knows the times, you raise your head, let me take a good look at you." β
The soldiers of the Tang Kingdom were afraid that the military division would hurt Zhuang Qingran, so they didn't dare to relax at all, and the military division couldn't raise his head high, his eyes looked up at Zhuang Qingran, Zhuang Qingran looked down at the appearance of the military division, and he didn't know why, his face suddenly became angry, and he shouted loudly: "Someone, drag him out and behead him immediately." β
Those soldiers didn't know why Zhuang Qingran was suddenly angry, just dragged the military advisor and was about to drag it outside, Gongsun Yu was startled, this military advisor has been following him for decades, and he has always been loyal, Gongsun Yu hurriedly said to Zhuang Qingran: "For my sake, please let the military advisor go." β
Zhuang Qingran said coldly: "You better take care of your own safety first." β
Gongsun Yu said: "No, let him go, kill me, for the sake of me not hurting you, please let him go." β
Zhuang Qingran heard Gongsun Yu say this, so he ordered those soldiers to stop first, the military advisor knelt on the ground with trembling legs, Zhuang Qingran said: "It's okay to let him go, but I don't know if you heard what I just said, are you willing to submit to me?"
Gongsun Yu is looking at the military division, the military division raised his head slightly, staring at Gongsun Yu, Gongsun Yu felt that the military division's eyes seemed to be telling him, don't die, to live, this feeling is only two people after getting along for a long time, a little action between each other, will understand the meaning, this military division is the emperor of Xisha Kingdom in Teng Wang Gongsun Yu when he was a teenager to give him a companion, it can be said that he has always accompanied the growth of King Teng, just like relatives, many major events of King Teng have this military division in the advice, King Teng also recommended him step by step to the status of today's military division of Xisha Stateγ
Gongsun Yu bit his lip, as if he had drunk a glass of spirits, he suddenly knelt on the ground, bowed to Zhuang Qingran and said, "The minister of the dead country is willing to return to the Tang Kingdom." β
"Hahaha. Zhuang Qingran happily quickly helped Gongsun Yu up, and then symbolically patted the dust on the royal robe on his body, looked at Gongsun Yu and said: " It's really good, you can figure it out, I'm so happy, when I was locked up by you, how did I tell you, I said that with the strength of your Xisha country, you can't fight the Tang country, but you don't believe it, and you have to continue to fight with my Tang country, now you always believe it, I said I want you to return to the Tang country in the future, but you say that I am a fool and a dream, talking nonsense, but now, you are also here, hahaha, it is really unpredictable, and creation makes people. β
Gongsun Yu lowered his head, did not dare to look directly at Zhuang Qingran, and said in a low voice: "The general is clever, I am ashamed of myself, admire, admire." β
Zhuang Qingran hummed deeply, looking very happy, but he didn't know why he was very disgusted with the military advisor kneeling on the ground, he walked up to the military advisor, and said sternly: "Listen, from today onwards, you will return to my Tang Kingdom, from now on, you must not rebel against the Tang Kingdom, if I know it, I will definitely break your body into pieces, and I will not tolerate it, you can hear clearly." β
Ye Qiu and Xia Ling on the side were very shocked when they heard this, Xia Ling didn't understand, this military advisor was probably the first time he had seen the master, why was the master so strict with this person, and Zhuang Qingran's methods of subduing the enemy country in the past were completely different.
The military advisor knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "I heard it, I heard it, I remembered, I will never dare to rebel against the Tang State in the future, I will never dare, if there is a violation, I will be subjected to natural disasters, five thunderstorms, and I will not die well." β
"Alright, don't say it. Zhuang Qingran impatiently shut up the military advisor who was kneeling on the ground, Zhuang Qingran exhaled deeply, and then asked, "What's your name." β
The military advisor hurriedly responded: "My name is Gu Hanxi"
Zhuang Qingran said: "Gu Hanxi, let me ask you, some time ago, you defeated the army of my Tang Kingdom that attacked Xisha Kingdom several times ago, and you made a plan behind it. β
Gu Hanxi said in a panic: "Yes, it was my plan, and the villain did it wrong." β
Zhuang Qingran said: "You do have some means, I underestimate you, you remember, you and King Teng will follow me as a helper in the future." β
When Gu Hanxi heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed on the ground and said, "Thank you, general, the villain is really grateful." β
Zhuang Qingran said: "But remember, don't forget what I warned you just now, otherwise, if there is something disloyal to my Tang Kingdom, I will not let you go." β
Gu Hanxi hurriedly said: "Remember, the villain remembers." β
Zhuang Qingran squinted his eyes, as if he was caught in a memory, it turned out that the reason why he was furious when he saw Gu Hanxi just now was not because Gu Hanxi had defeated the Tang army many times before, but when Zhuang Qingran saw Gu Hanxi, Gu Hanxi's appearance was similar to that when he assisted the wandering Tang King, the Tang King also had a clever retinue and his appearance was very similar, the entourage was wandering among the countries together after running out of the Tang Kingdom with the Tang King, and later because the entourage saw that the Tang King might never be able to return to the Tang Kingdom, he quietly took the opportunity to steal all the treasures that the Tang King brought out from the Tang Kingdom at night, Tang Wang was forced to wander because of the battle for the throne between the princes in the country, and he couldn't go back to Tang for a while, and he had no money, Zhuang Qingran was hungry after following Tang Wang, and he wandered out with a full meal, which was even more miserable and embarrassed, but fortunately, Zhuang Qingran knew how to do some spells, and sometimes he could help Tang Wang earn some money on the street to barely make a living.
