124 Fuyang surrenders
"I'm going back to China, and this time, I'm going to get everything back that belongs to me!"
Wang Qingluan turned his head to look at Tang Ping, and asked with a black line, "Can you not be so stupid?" ”
"Hey, hey!" Tang Ping turned off the short video on his phone with some embarrassment: "Aren't I afraid that you will touch the scene and ease the atmosphere?" ”
The two were already in the Tang Army camp outside Fuyang City at this time.
The closer you get to Fuyang City, the capital of Dongyue, the stronger the resistance you encounter.
Fortunately, Tang Ping came all the way by water, and the Taihao ship was strong and sharp, and anyone who did not surrender would directly open the city gate with a round of artillery bombardment, and then the members of the former pirate group would rush up.
In the last attack on Fort Fortress, the East Vietnamese Army poured out of the nest, with a total of 400,000 troops, but more than 100,000 casualties were lost and returned to China.
The Zhen family father and son went to Nanyang and took almost most of the elites with them, and almost all of the soldiers who remain in the country now are newly recruited soldiers.
Although the equipment is relatively good, the quality of individual soldiers is far worse than those of the pirates.
After a few back and forth, they basically surrendered, only the last kind of Fuyang City, there were some elites left in it, and according to the spies, there are probably close to 100,000 defenders inside.
On the Tang side, 300,000 troops came from Baozi City, plus Tang Ping's 20,000 navy, as well as the pirates who were subdued and the armed forces that took refuge because of Wang Qingluan along the way, but there were 400,000 people.
It's still 400,000 to 100,000, but this time the balance of power is completely opposite to that of Fort City.
It was Cheng Zhijie who brought the troops over from Datang, and he picked his teeth boredly and said: "These weak chickens in Dongyue are no longer able to fight." Shall we attack the city now? ”
If Li Shimin hadn't said it, waiting to meet Tang Ping, he felt that he would be able to take Fuyang City within three days.
This time, he came with the army, but he also brought a huge cannon, the body of which was eleven meters long, and the total weight was nearly ten tons, which was pulled by more than ten bulls.
This is also the largest Datang Shenwei cannon cast by Datang now, in Cheng Zhijie's view, the power of this cannon is close to destroying the world, although this Fuyang City is strong, but under this giant cannon, it is only a matter of a few cannons.
"Lu Guogong, I don't know if you can let me go and persuade me to surrender first?" Wang Qingluan asked.
"Naturally!" Cheng Zhijie arched his hand: "Your Majesty asked me to wait for the princess and princess of Pingguo to come, whether to fight or what to do, everything is up to the two of you." ”
Tang Ping was a little moved in his heart, Li Shimin was worried about Wang Qingluan's feelings, so he put the decision in the hands of the two of them.
He looked at Wang Qingluan and said, "I heard that it is Concubine Liu who is in power in the city now. ”
"Well, it's her!" Wang Qingluan's face was a little complicated, in the past, Concubine Liu was actually quite good to herself, but she was ......
"Will she listen to you?"
"Let's give it a try, this Fuyang City is full of people, and they shouldn't suffer this catastrophe."
"Well, no matter what you do, I support you, and this time, you will put your ......"
Seeing Wang Qingluan glaring at him, Tang Ping was stunned, and touched his head with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." ”
When the two came to the front, Tang Ping asked Qian Laosan: "You really don't need to change someone?" ”
"Pingguo Gong rest assured, there are these hundreds of thousands of troops, forgive me that no one in Fuyang City dares to touch me, I will go back as soon as I go."
After finishing speaking, he went to Fuyang City, although he said it simply, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, in case the people in Fuyang City went crazy and shot arrows together, he didn't know if the glass shield called "riot shield" that Ping Guogong gave himself could be prevented.
Fortunately, the Tang army should have put enough pressure on Fuyang City, and the people in the city saw that he was the only one who came, and they didn't release arrows, but waited for him to be under the city wall and asked, "Who is coming?" ”
"I am the envoy of the Tang Dynasty Pingguo!" When Qian Laosan said this, he felt that his face was bright, in this life, I am afraid that this time is my highlight moment, right?
"Ping Guogong said that God has the virtue of a good life, so I want to talk to you Mrs. Liu."
"Interview?" The people above are all stunned, Ping Guogong wants to talk to our queen, what are you sending here for? Can you still ask Empress Dowager Liu out?
"Put a basket down, let me go up!"
The people above waited for a while, probably to report, and after a while, they really hung a basket down.
Qian Laosan took a deep breath, then climbed into the basket, and was hoisted up.
After going up, he found that the defenders at the head of Fuyang City were nervously holding weapons against him, and Qian Laosan simply put down the riot shield in his hand: "I don't have a weapon, take me to see the Empress Dowager Liu." ”
A defender came up to search his body, and found that he did not have any weapons with him, but only a strange object with a piece of glass embedded in an iron plate.
"This is for Empress Dowager Liu, don't break it, our family Pingguo Gong can use this to interview her."
The defender took the letter carefully, and then took Qian Laosan to a military camp under the city wall.
"Empress Dowager Liu, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty Pingguo Gong has brought it."
Qian Laosan secretly looked up and found that the Empress Dowager Liu of Dongyue was indeed beautiful, but after thinking of the things she had done, she was secretly speechless, and quickly lowered her head.
"I've met the Empress Dowager Liu, my family Pingguo Gong and Princess Qingluan want to talk to the Empress Dowager Liu."
He took the tablet he had brought with him from the defender's hand, operated it, and put it on the table opposite the Empress Dowager Liu.
Because of the humanoid signal base station of Tang Ping, which is less than three kilometers away from the Tang army camp outside the city, there is naturally a signal.
Soon Wang Qingluan's face appeared on the screen.
The Empress Dowager Liu was shocked, even if her child succeeded to the throne later, she became the Empress Dowager of Dongyue, and she had never been out of the palace, but she didn't expect that Wang Qingluan's figure could appear in this glass mirror now, and she could hear the voice on the other side.
"Concubine Liu, long time no see!"
"Princess Qingluan, it's been a long time!"
After saying hello, both fell silent.
After a long time, Wang Qingluan asked again, "Why?" I remember that when my father was alive, he favored you the most, and I also respected you, even if I really inherited the throne in the future, I will definitely not treat you harshly, why do you ......"
This is a knot in Wang Qingluan's heart that has never been untied, and she has not figured out why Concubine Liu betrayed her father with Zhen Xiong.
"Why?" Concubine Liu in the past, and Empress Dowager Liu in the current past, smiled miserably: "You only know that your father and the emperor love me in the world, but do you ever know?" Do I have someone I love? After your father ascended the throne, he snatched me from him by overwhelming others? ”
"That man was afraid of your father's authority at that time, and he didn't dare to admit that he had a marriage contract with me in private, so he gave me up to your father, what am I? An object? ”
"And after entering the palace, I found out that you are actually a woman, the dignified King Zheng of Dongyue is a woman, and they are also women, why can you inherit this great position, and I should be like an object, being abandoned and obtained at will?"
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Liu smiled slightly: "I think you should have guessed who that man is, right?" That's right, it's Zhen Xiong. He was able to achieve the position later, and it has always been the result of my quiet support in the palace and the blowing pillow wind in your father's ear. ”
"I thought that after I gave birth to a son for him, and after helping him get the power of Dongyue, he would be different, and he would be good to me, just like before I entered the palace and married your father."
"But I was wrong, I didn't expect him to be the same him, the man who is selfish and has only himself in his eyes, when the catastrophe came, he took people to Nanyang, where they could call themselves emperors, and there was no need for me and my son, I became an outcast again!"
Speaking of this, she was already in tears, and wiped away her tears with a wave of her sleeves: "What do you want to talk to me about today?" Do you want me to surrender in Kaesong? ”
Wang Qingluan really didn't expect that there were still these things between her father and Concubine Liu, and she knew what her father was like, and she was extremely domineering.
I thought about it at that time, don't say that I didn't know that Concubine Liu had made a private agreement with Zhen Xiong for life, but I knew that with my father's personality, I was afraid that I would still marry Concubine Liu into the palace.
It's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong.
However, in addition to understanding the truth about Concubine Liu's betrayal of her father, her purpose was indeed to want Concubine Liu to surrender in Kaicheng.
"Concubine Liu, you have no chance of winning, the 400,000 generals of the Tang Dynasty, and the powerful Datang Shenwei cannon, we still have dozens of airships, which can set fire to the entire Fuyang City overnight, but I grew up in Fuyang City, I think the people of Fuyang City are innocent, and they don't deserve to suffer like this."
"So what? So you, the last bloodline of the Dongyue royal family, are you going to hand over the foundation of Dongyue to others? Concubine Liu said with a strange smile: "So now the descendants of the Wang family want to hand over Fuyang to the Tang Dynasty, but I, an outsider, want to keep the last foundation of Dongyue here?" ”
Wang Qingluan didn't speak, she knew Li Shimin, although Li Shimin took care of his emotions, but after Dongyue was taken, it was impossible for him to let such a rich place continue to become a country east of the Tang Dynasty, and it was a sure thing that Dongyue would be annexed by the Tang Dynasty.
Even his husband takes it for granted.
Of course, Wang Qingluan herself has long lost her utilitarian heart, if this Dongyue is said to belong to their Wang family, but now the Wang family has her last bloodline left, and she has no intention of managing such a country, so she has no psychological pressure when it is handed over to Datang.
Empress Dowager Liu looked up at the other Dongyue generals gathered in this tent, and asked with a smile, "Princess Qingluan wants us to surrender, what do you say?" ”
The generals looked at each other, but none of them spoke.
"That's it, sometimes if you don't speak, it means that you have said everything."
After speaking, she looked at Wang Qingluan on the screen: "You said that the people are innocent, and my child is also innocent, I don't know if you can let him live?" ”
"Concubine Liu, don't worry, as long as you are willing to surrender in Kaicheng, I dare to guarantee the safety of you and your children."
"Hehe, I don't have to, remember what you said today, if it is not good for my child in the future, I will die, and I will not let you go."
Empress Dowager Liu pulled out the long sword on the waist of the guard and shouted: "Open the city gate and surrender!" ”
Then the blade of the sword turned, and it swept towards his neck.
