Chapter 403 Thief Zhao is a good father~
"Emperor Yongzhao surrendered?"

Zhao Cuo stood on horseback behind the army formation.

He looked at Zhao Yuanqing who came to report the letter in amazement, and then let out a long sigh of relief, his expression still heavy.

It was indeed unexpected for Emperor Fei to give up and flee, but this was also his only choice when he was in a desperate situation. Although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

"The deposed emperor did not mobilize the army to go out of the city to fight. The soldiers guarding the city opened the city gate and offered to surrender."

Zhao Zongbing said in a deep voice suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"it is good."

Mr. Zhao nodded.

He also understood the situation when he heard this.

The young emperor didn't really order the surrender. He knew that victory was hopeless, so he gave up resistance.

"According to the general, you pass on the order to let the soldiers stand in line, and don't be careless in the slightest! So as not to fall into the false surrender plan that the rebels may have."

General Zhao remained sane. He had already been convinced that he could win when he took down the Dragon Clan, so at the moment of victory, he was just relieved.

"How should we surrender?"

Zhao Yuanqing hesitated.

There are nearly [-] rebels in the capital of Qi.

If this is a mistake, the remnant soldiers and defeated generals will not know how much chaos will be caused in the city, and it will be the common people who will suffer.

"The vast majority of the rebels are just the people of the six countries under the coercion of Emperor Yongzhao. You just order the army to shout to the city, and those who put down their weapons and walk out of the city are innocent."

After Zhao Cuo paused, he said that he was experienced in the aftermath of the war, and those who could not be killed in the rebel army should try to save their lives.

"As for the enemy generals, apart from the traitor Lin Anmin who deserves no punishment, this general thinks that he was forced to put on his armor because of the coercion of the deposed emperor."

Mr. Zhao said hesitantly.

War is not his goal, and he will take over the governance of the Six Nations, so naturally he cannot kill all the generals of the Six Nations Army.

Those who can have the title of general in the army are all members of the gentry class in the vassal states. In order to stabilize the situation in a short period of time, it is better to kill less.

"What the general said is true. Even if the generals in the rebel army are guilty, we should wait until the war is settled before interrogating them carefully."

Zhao Zongbing nodded approvingly, he understood the meaning of Zhao thief's words, and now he still has to focus on the overall situation.

War is not just fighting and killing. How to deal with the aftermath after victory is the most important thing. Everything starts with profit.

After the two countries meet in battle, the so-called justice and benevolence will become pale, and the most important thing is the pros and cons.

"According to the general's arrangement."

Zhao Cuo raised his head and looked at the capital of King Qi, which seemed to be close at hand.

"The general wants to enter the royal city before sunset, and tell the rebel generals to surround the palace where Emperor Yongzhao is located, and no one is allowed to enter. Anyone who violates the rules will be regarded as a refusal to surrender!"

Mr. Zhao said calmly that he can now threaten the rebels who are still in the capital of King Qi, and the life and death of everyone in the city is on his mind.

"As ordered!"

After saluting according to Yuanqing, he turned his horse's head and left.

"It's finally here... It's been too long for them to wait for me."

General Zhao murmured, turned his head to look in the direction of the Dayu capital, and the soft and pleasant spring breeze blew across his face.

Although the way to conquer the Qi State was overwhelming, it took more than a month to fight in the capital of Qi State, and it will be summer in two or three months.

"Will An'er be born when I return to Beijing? Which one will come first, he or Huan'er, and Ning'er in my mother's womb."

Zhao Cuo thought of this, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth began to be proud, but he quickly restrained himself.

He will be promoted soon, and he will have more younger brothers and sisters, and he will look like a father and brother.

As a good father, he also has experience in this. The Master of the State Teacher also called him Father, and Yan'er prefers to call him "Daddy".

"General Zhao is ordered. The soldiers who raised their hands and went out of the city are innocent! After this battle, they can receive money and go home."

Outside the city of King Qi.

The Southern Army's more than [-] troops were divided into various battle formations.

Deafening voices of persuasion to surrender came and went on the battlefield.

"Most of the rebel generals were coerced by the deposed emperor and had no choice but to rebel. Those who surrender today will be spared the death penalty! If they surrender sincerely, the palace will be safe."

The superior conditions given by Zhao Cuo also showed the courage of the teacher of the king of Dayu. After a short period of silence in the capital, there was a tsunami-like movement.

"General Zhao is benevolent and righteous!"

"I'm waiting to come down."

"Wow..."

The soldiers of the Six Nations hardly hesitated.

After all, this is not Dayu's foreign expansion war, but a civil war, and the rebels are also Dayu people.

The city gate of King Qi's capital opened wide, and disarmed and unarmored soldiers poured out quickly. They raised their hands above their heads, obediently obeyed the command, and squatted down in an open space.

"General Zhao said that this battle will only punish Emperor Yongzhao's party, and all compatriots from the six countries are my citizens of Dayu."

The Southern Army is still shouting according to Zhao Cuo's meaning.

This trick is of course useful. The rebels who left the city and surrendered are orderly, and the troublemakers among them will even be solved by their own people.

Everything was done step by step until late afternoon when the rebel army, which claimed to be [-] but actually only [-], had assembled outside the capital of King Qi.

"General Zhao Wansheng!" Zhao Cuo rode a snow-trained white horse and appeared on the front line amidst the soldiers' guards, "Let's enter the city."

He looked at the capital of King Qi in front of him with a calm expression, and the southern army was entering through the city gate to clear the way for him.

"What's the situation in the city? Has the palace been attacked by rebels, and Emperor Yongzhao is still there?"

Mr. Zhao asked the general of the Southern Army who came out of the city.

"General, several generals of the rebel army have surrounded Qi Palace and are waiting for you to accept the surrender."

Thief Zhao just nodded slightly when he heard the words. He had already known the news of King Qi's self-immolation and death, so as long as Emperor Yongzhao was captured alive, the war would be basically ended.

"Zhao Zongbing will go with me to Qi Palace."

He said calmly.

"Yes!"

Zhao Cuo rode a tall horse and entered the city surrounded by his own soldiers.

There is no longer any obstruction in front of him, the city road is empty, only the soldiers of the southern army.

Qi State is quite rich, so the royal palace is naturally magnificent, and there are many standards that can be seen at a glance beyond the royal family.

"Sin will wait to meet General Zhao!"

"That's it."

Mr. Zhao calmly looked at the rebel general kneeling outside the palace.

"You restrain the soldiers in your hands well, someone will hand over the military power to you, and you are all ministers of Dayu."

His last words made the rebel general who was lying on the ground breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's all go back."

Bandit Zhao entered Qi Palace with heavy troops.

He went straight to the main hall, Emperor Yongzhao didn't run away, he was waiting for him in the palace.

From this point alone, he felt that the abolished emperor had some imperial airs, at least he could afford to lose.

"Great General... The Deposed Emperor is in the hall."

The deputy he sent out turned back.

Mr. Zhao just nodded his head when he heard his words, got off his horse, and put his right hand on the sword at his waist.

The general of the Southern Army on the side waved his hand according to Yuan Qing's gesture, and a group of people guarded General Zhao and walked towards the hall together with him.

"How dare the rebellious officials and thieves sit on the head? If you don't kneel down and salute, this is..."

"It's okay."

Zhao Cuo raised his hand and interrupted the cronies beside him.

He looked calmly at the handsome and thin man who was sitting quietly in the hall.

Emperor Yongzhao's face was calm, and he looked at General Zhao who had come here as a victor without saying a word, and the air froze for a moment.
