I, who plundered the heavens, have a hundred thousand dead

Chapter 64 Seeking Peace with Yasukuni

……

Above the city tower of Jiangning City, Dong Daofu, who was fighting with several dead soldiers, saw a large camp with thick smoke in the distance.

My heart sank slightly.

Although there are no combat arms in his camp.

However, there are thousands of cargo battalions in the large camp who are responsible for guarding the large camp.

And there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the camp for a month's food and grass.

Now the entire camp has been set on fire, which means that his remaining tens of thousands of horses have no way out, and the only way to capture Jiangning City is feasible.

"General, our camp was attacked, and now we..."

"Send the whole army to take Jiangning to the death."

"Yes, General!"

However, although Dong Daofu's orders were conveyed layer by layer, in the hearts of these soldiers of the Imperial Army, they had already resigned.

In addition, from the morning to the present, they have been attacking for several hours in a row, and the physical strength of many soldiers has been unable to keep up.

Now that I see that the camp on my side has been stolen, it must have a great impact on these soldiers at the lowest level.

After all, these people are not like the dead men of Li Yang, who can work hard without any regrets, and fight for their lives without fear of death.

Outside the city, in the main camp of the Wu Dynasty army, hundreds of black armored cavalry rushed to kill in the camp for a while, and set the entire camp on fire.

These hundreds of cavalrymen rushed towards the army of the Wu Dynasty that was frantically attacking the city outside Jiangning City.

Soon, when these hundreds of black armored cavalry rushed into the camp of the Wu Dynasty army, the one-sided massacre also began.

For a time, these soldiers of the Wu Dynasty who had not yet reached the city wall were defeated by the sudden appearance of hundreds of black armored cavalry.

And with the support of the hundreds of black armored cavalry under the city wall, the pressure faced by the dead soldiers on the city wall to resist the siege of the Wu Dynasty army was greatly reduced.

Following the frenzied killing of hundreds of black cavalry under the city wall, in just half an hour, nearly 5000 of the Wu Dynasty army that was attacking the city through various methods were lost at the hands of these hundreds of black cavalry.

Each of the black armored cavalry is a powerful existence capable of being an enemy of more than a dozen.

Of these hundreds of black-armored cavalry, only two were unfortunately injured and died.

In the face of these hundreds of powerful black armored cavalry, the army of the Wu Dynasty has come to the brink of collapse.

However, it is not that the main generals such as Dong Daofu are still insisting, these soldiers of the Wu Dynasty may not be able to hold on anymore.

On a city wall, Zhao Jun, who was in command of the Corps of Dead Soldiers, saw such a situation, and immediately began to gather his level 2 dead soldiers, and began to approach the area where Dong Daofu and the main generals were located.

Because at this time there were hundreds of black armored cavalry outside the city leading nearly [-] people and horses, the number of soldiers who could board the city wall was getting smaller and smaller.

Therefore, Zhao Jun can also summon his level 2 dead soldiers to deal with the chief generals such as Dong Daofu.

The generals like Dong Daofu are surrounded by some powerful people. Generally, the first-level dead soldiers are not the opponents of these generals. Only the second-level dead soldiers can fight against them.

And because of Dong Daofu's side, there are a large number of soldiers and generals who protect him.

The second-level dead soldiers, who were not dominant in number, could not take down the main generals such as Dong Daofu for a while.

But now, with the arrival of the black armored cavalry outside the city, the pressure on the dead soldiers on the city wall has also been reduced by half.

It is also possible to assign more level 2 dead soldiers to deal with the generals like Dong Daofu.

Soon, Zhao Jun recruited dozens of level 2 dead soldiers to join the team to encircle and suppress Dong Daofu.

There were no new reinforcements on Dong Daofu's side, and for a while, he was also defeated by the army of dead soldiers.

"Dong Daofu, you have no way to escape today. If you don't want these generals under your command to be buried with you, surrendering is your best choice."

"Don't think about it!" Although Dong Daofu knew that what Zhao Jun said was true, it was absolutely impossible to make him surrender.

In the face of the stubborn Dong Daofu, Zhao Jun didn't bother with him.

Directly led a large number of 2-level dead soldiers under his banner, and continued to surround and kill the remaining defeated soldiers of Dong Daofu.

Soon, as the killing continued, there were only dozens of people left around Dong Daofu who were still struggling to support him.

As for the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty in other places around, at this time, there is no way to continue to assist the generals such as Dong Daofu from other places.

Due to the loss of assistance, Dong Daofu, who was already exhausted, was soon surrounded by nearly a hundred rank 2 dead soldiers and joined some of the generals around him to be captured alive.

As Dong Daofu and other generals were captured alive, the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty scattered around the city wall also dropped their weapons and surrendered on the spot amid the shouting of the dead soldiers.

At the same time, outside Jiangning City, the thousands of soldiers of the Wu Dynasty who were fighting with hundreds of dead cavalry soldiers also put down their weapons and stopped resisting.

Because not only has their camp burned down, but even the main commander, Dong Daofu, has been captured alive, so it makes no sense for them to continue resisting.

Soon, as the news spread, there were more than 1 Wu Dynasty soldiers scattered everywhere, and all of them surrendered.

……

The next morning, Wudu, above the imperial palace.

As for the news of the annihilation of the [-] troops outside Jiangning City, in fact, in the early morning of that night, the Secret Investigation Division used a fast horse to send the news to Wudu.

Therefore, before today's early dynasties began, the entire civil and military affairs of the Wu Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty were already known.

"Your Majesty, from General Dong's defeat of tens of thousands of troops and horses in the north of Jiangning, it is not difficult to see that the bandit army that has captured Jiangning must not be a simple bandit. , to discuss matters of peace talks.”

As soon as today's early morning was held, after many ministers discussed it for a while, Taishi He Yuanchang stood up and proposed.

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees. The thieves who occupy Jiangning and Lin'an are powerful, and even General Dong has been defeated here. For the safety of our Wu Dynasty and Wudu, we should leave to negotiate peace with Jingguo."

"My minister agrees!"

Soon, with the audience of Taishi He Yuanchang, a series of ministers headed by He Yuanchang also stepped forward to second the proposal.

And Zhou Zhe, the emperor of the Wu Dynasty above the court, actually knew the news of the defeat of Dong Daofu's [-] army before dawn in the early morning, and he had already decided to make peace in his heart.

So at this moment, when He Yuanchang and a group of ministers proposed and seconded the proposal, he also pushed the boat directly and happily passed the resolution.

"Okay, what Taishi He said is very true. Right now, Yasukuni is very powerful. Lin'an and Jiangning's thieves clearly have the shadow of Yasukuni's backing. In order to restore the peace of the world to our Wu Dynasty as soon as possible, the peace talks must be accelerated."

"For this specific matter, I will trouble Grand Master He."

However, how could He Yuanchang, who was below the court, let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deal with Qin Siyuan.

"Your Majesty will make peace with Yasukuni, and Wei Chen will naturally try his best to live up to His Majesty's entrustment, but now because of our army's defeat in Jiangning, I am afraid that it has already annoyed Yasukuni."

"So, I am afraid it will be difficult for the next peace talks with the Yasukuni to proceed smoothly. When Wei Chen was in contact with the Shichen of the Jingguo, the Shichen of the Yasukuni threatened to add a clause to the terms of the peace talks if he wanted to negotiate a peace. , let the prime minister be the prime minister, stay in Jingguo forever and never return to the dynasty."

"Originally, the issue of peace has not been settled before, so Wei Chen did not mention it to His Majesty, and now our army has lost in Jiangning. At this time, if we want to negotiate with Yasukuni, I am afraid that we must meet the unreasonable request of Yasukuni. already."

"It's just that this will make the prime minister a challenger."

However, when He Yuanchang's remarks had just finished, the minister who supported Qin Siyuan at the bottom of the court immediately exploded.

Before the main lord Qin Siyuan could speak, they immediately stood up to refute.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin is the Prime Minister of our Wu Dynasty. How can you go to the enemy's head and stay as a pledge minister, please think twice!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Above the court, Zhou Zhe saw this scene, and his expression changed for a while.

I saw Zhou Zhe pondering for a moment, then said with a sad sigh.

"I naturally know that the Prime Minister is an important minister of our Wu Dynasty. If the Prime Minister goes to Yasukuni as a pledge minister, it will naturally bring shame to our Wu Dynasty."

"But at the moment, Yasukuni is very powerful, not only hoarding hundreds of thousands of troops and horses on the border of our Wu Dynasty, but also infecting the territory of our Wu Dynasty, causing our Wu Dynasty to lose two cities in a row and lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, even General Dong is now Captured by thieves."

"I really don't want more people and soldiers in my Wu Dynasty to bleed to death!"

Although Zhou Zhe's remarks did not indicate that Qin Siyuan should go to Jingguo to be a pledged minister, his practice of retreating as an advance had forced Qin Siyuan, who was a subordinate minister, to take over.

"Your Majesty, if only one minister can exchange me for peace in the Wu Dynasty, the minister is willing to go to Jingguo."

"Qin Xiang!"

The minister who supported Qin Siyuan was about to continue to say something, but Qin Siyuan stopped him directly.

"Your Majesty, I hope that before I go to Jingguo, the Jingguo side can release General Dong who was trapped in Jiangning and many soldiers of our military dynasty. I hope that Taishi He can contact the Jingguo side as soon as possible, as long as the trapped General Dong in Jiangning and me Many soldiers of the Wu Dynasty can leave Jiangning and return to Wudu, and I will go to Jingguo.”

"Prime Minister, the Wu Dynasty is losing at this moment. At this time, it is easier to negotiate with the Yasukuni. However, since the Prime Minister is so concerned about the safety of our soldiers, I will do my best to fight for the Yasukuni."

In fact, He Yuanchang had never had any contact with the envoys of the Jingguo at all, and the proposal to make Qin Siyuan a pledged minister was entirely made by himself in order to take this opportunity to get rid of Qin Siyuan.

However, although He Yuanchang did not get in touch with the envoys of Jingguo, he was confident that as long as he took Qin Siyuan to Jingguo this time, everything would naturally go as he wished.

But now he agreed to Qin Siyuan's request in exchange for Dong Daofu and many soldiers of the military dynasty, which was completely expedient.

When Zhou Zhe, the emperor above the court, heard the words, he couldn't help but sigh in relief, and quickly agreed.

"Then Taishi Laohe will facilitate this matter as soon as possible, alas! It's just that it will be difficult for the Prime Minister."

"Your Majesty, if you can exchange the old minister for peace in the world of our Wu Dynasty, the old minister will have no complaints and no regrets."
