Chapter 109: Surrender

Liu Wei looked sideways at Yuwen Chengdu, who was coming from the horse, and immediately stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where the city gate was wide open, and said, "Quickly occupy the city gate and welcome the army into the city." ”

"No."

Yuwen Chengdu nodded, and immediately commanded a hundred light horsemen under his command to ride away in the direction of the city gate.

Looking at the scene that happened under the city, King Han blinked in confusion, stretched out his hand and pointed at the Han cavalry who came on horseback, and said, "What does this mean?" ”

When the middle-aged man standing beside King Han heard this, he glanced at him silently, and then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Cui Zaihou is in the battle to defect, the Han army has arrived, and the city is broken." ”

"Choi Jae-hou has always been loyal to me, why would he do such a rebellious act?" King Han was very puzzled by this.

"Xuansu and Liaodong have all fallen into the hands of the Han army, and now that the elite of our three Hans has been lost, how can the Han army be indifferent when the Korean city is empty?"

The middle-aged man named Cui Zhongzhong shook his head helplessly, glanced at King Han, who was over twenty years old but still ignorant of the world, and said, "The matter has come to this, I don't know what the king plans to do in the future?" ”

King Han obviously had no backbone at this moment, he tightly grabbed the corner of Cui Zhongzhong's clothes, and said, "For today's plan, what should I do?" Please teach me. ”

Cui Zhongzhong sighed helplessly, and said with a gloomy face: "For today's plan, the only way is to surrender the city." ”

Cui Zhongzhong said, stretched out his hand to press King Han's shoulder, looked him directly into the eyes, and said, "If the king is willing to be martyred, the minister is willing to follow him to the death." ”

When King Han heard this, he subconsciously shook his head, and suddenly, King Han, who knew that he was out of shape, hurriedly made up for himself, and said: "Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood." ”

"I want to leave a useful body, follow the example of Goujian, the king of Yue, lie down and taste the courage, endure humiliation and burden, in order to seek a strategy for recovering the country." King Han said solemnly.

By now, Cui Zhongzhong had been completely disappointed in King Han, he shook his head helplessly, and said, "Go to the minister, I hope the king loves himself." ”

Cui Zhongzhong said, stepped on the battlement, and jumped from the city.

Looking at Cui Zhongzhong, who was martyred in his country, King Han suddenly felt sad from his heart, and said with tears in his eyes: "Oh my God, the centuries-old foundation of Sanhan was destroyed in the hands of widows. ”

King Han said, suddenly his expression was correct, he shook his head again and again, denied his previous statement, he viciously stretched out his hand and pointed to the civil and military officials around him, and said: "I am cool and virtuous, and I am to blame, but all the ministers are mistaken." I am not the king of the dead country, all the ministers are the ministers of the dead country! ”

Someone in the crowd suddenly said something that made people feel very harsh when they heard it: "Since the king said this, why not follow Cui Da and others?" If the king really died in the country, it would not be a good choice, and the king's martyrdom may be a good story in the future. ”

King Han's face froze, and he chose to automatically filter out this sentence, but he saw him snort heavily and walked away.

Looking at the slightly lonely back of King Han, some people were sad, some people didn't care, and a few elite people felt an indescribable joy in their hearts after seeing the Han army enter the city in a big way.

Follow Han Wang, starve three times a day, and follow the Han army, it won't be worse than now, right? This is the true mood of those elite people at this moment.

After a long time.

Under the command of Yuwen Chengdu and Nan Jiyun, the soldiers of the Han army took over the Korean city defense without bloodshed, and immediately divided 500 men and horses into two rows of columns outside the north gate.

Liu Wei led hundreds of civil and military officials to wait for King Han on the drawbridge outside the city gate.

When Cui Zaihou had just left the city, he had clearly expressed his intention to surrender to Liu Wei.

Liu Wei was very satisfied with Cui Jaehou's attitude, and after accepting his initiative to surrender, he was given a very difficult task, Liu Wei asked him to return to the city and personally guide the king of Han on surrender and other matters.

After Choi Jae-hou returned to the city, he went straight to the palace of King Han to meet King Han.

After the two met, no one took the lead in speaking, and the two stared at each other in a daze for a long time, until King Han couldn't bear it anymore and scolded Cui Jaehou.

When Cui Zaihou heard this, he smiled slightly, his big radish face was neither red nor white, and said: "The minister will have his heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." ”

Cui Zaihou said, suddenly changed his face, he looked directly into King Han's eyes, and said word by word: "If there is no minister, how can the king live?" ”

Looking at the fierce Cui Zaihou, King Han really didn't have anything to do with him, and his tone became much softer when he spoke, and said, "I don't know what the Han people want?" ”

"Please go out of the city and surrender." Choi Jae-hou went straight to the point.

King Han frowned and said, "What kind of surrender method?" ”

"The minister has prepared everything for the king on the way here, and the king only needs to do as the minister instructs." Choi Jae-hou said.

"You are Hanchen now, and you no longer need to call yourself a minister." King Han said weakly.

"The king is a king for a day, and the minister is a minister for a day, this is an eternal truth."

When King Han heard this, he was immediately furious, and said: "Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not been the two masters, and you are Han Chen, but you have done something to betray the master, and then waged your tail and begged for mercy to the Han people, but you still have the face to call yourself a minister in front of the widow, and the widow feels disgusted when he listens to it." ”

When Cui Zaihou heard this, he pursed his lips disapprovingly, and said: "Then according to what the king said, from now on, I will no longer call myself a minister." ”

King Han waved his hand in disbelief and said; "Tell me about surrender."

When Cui Zaihou heard this, he nodded hurriedly, and immediately clapped his hands in the direction of the outside of the hall, and said, "Please board the king." ”

Cui Zaihou's voice lagged behind, and he suddenly saw two Han soldiers walking in with a sheep cart.

King Han frowned in confusion and said, "What does this mean?" ”

When Cui Zaihou heard this, he hurriedly smiled and answered questions for King Han: "Riding a sheep cart mainly has a certain symbolic meaning, sheep are extremely docile animals, and the king takes a sheep cart to express to the Han people that he will bow down to him like a docile sheep and never betray." ”

When King Han heard this, although he felt very aggrieved, he still boarded the sheep cart very obediently.

"The king is wide-robed, please."

Choi Jaehou said with a smile.

Under the uncertain expression on King Han's face, Cui Zaihou hurriedly explained, saying: "You need to be shirtless, with a jade mouth, and then drive a sheep cart and go out of the city to surrender to the Han people." ”

With great reluctance, King Han did as he was told, and immediately drove the sheep cart to the outside of the palace.

King Han and his entourage had just stepped out of the palace with their front feet, but they saw a coffin placed outside the palace, King Han saw this, and immediately became nervous, he looked sideways at Cui Zaihou, and said in a trembling voice: "What does this mean?" ”

When Cui Jaehou heard this, he hurriedly explained: "This move means that you are willing to put your life at the disposal of the other party. ”

"What if the Han people don't keep their promises and want to kill the widows?" Han Wang asked.

Cui Zaihou smiled slightly and said, "Although the king can rest assured, this is just a superficial form, and the Han people have promised that they will not hurt the king in the slightest." ”

King Han nodded helplessly and continued to drive the sheep cart out of the city.

At this time, Cui Zaihou hurriedly greeted a group of civil and military officials wearing filial piety clothes, and ordered them to follow on both sides of the sheep cart and walk out of the city with King Han.

The civil and military officials wearing mourning clothes represent the ruin of the country and the death of the family.

After a long time.

King Han led a group of civil and military officials to receive the attention of the Han soldiers in front of the city gate, and finally came to the front of Liu Wei and his party.

Liu Wei really did as Cui Zaihou said, after seeing King Han, he came to King Han in three steps and two steps, helped King Han out of the sheep cart, and took off the cloak he was wearing and draped it on King Han's body.

Liu Wei personally took down the jade wall in King Han's mouth, so he accepted King Han's surrender.

Jade represents dignity, and the jade wall means the right to rule, and Liu Wei took out the jade wall from the mouth of King Han, which means that I will exercise your rights on your behalf, which is a kind of handover ceremony.

After that, Liu Wei ordered someone to burn the coffin carried by the soldiers in front of everyone, which meant: I (Liu Bian) forgive you (King Han) for your sin.

This is the end of the surrender ceremony, which also marks the end of the Samhan regime.
