Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 710

When the first cannonball landed on the wall of Shengjing City, Liu Guangwen and everyone else felt as if the strong city beneath their feet was shaking.

He reached out and lightly dusted off the dust on his shoulders, while everyone around him was so scared that he lay down and trembled.

Instead of being afraid at all, Liu Guangwen showed an interesting look. He got up and left his chair, and came to the wall to see what the cannon that was firing shells looked like.

A crack appeared on the wall. Liu Guangwen saw the dark barrels clearly and grinned.

Presumably this is what Qian Guo relied on to unify the world.

Such an army!Such a weapon!Who among all the countries in the world can resist?

Who dares to stop?

Watching a cannonball flying towards him, Liu Guangwen closed his eyes without fear.

With a roar, this cannonball exploded the emperor of Qi into flesh and blood all over the ground!
Liu Guangwen is dead!
The commotion on the wall became even greater. Civil and military ministers began to flee in all directions. Some people who were stunned by the bomb stretched out their heads and shouted with all their strength, "I surrender!"stop fighting!

Then he went to hell with their emperor.

It is said that once the emperor and his ministers fought to the death, but since the battle started, not a single Qi army rushed out of the city gate to fight to the death with Qian's army.

Ling Shuang, the commander of Qi's imperial army, after killing several fleeing ministers with his sword, he laughed bitterly and committed suicide with his sword.

After his death, the Imperial City Imperial Army, which was already in chaos, began to flee. After all, not everyone was as loyal as him.

The soldier in charge of firing covered his forehead with his hand and squinted to see clearly the chaos on the top of Shengjing City. He quickly ran forward and said, "General, seeing the chaos on the top of the city, the Qi army defenders panicked and fled. Can we stop bombarding and break through the gate?"

Zhao Kang folded his sleeves and said calmly: "The enemy did not surrender. They continued to fire and opened a road for my commander to pass through."

"As ordered!"

Listening to the continuous sound of artillery fire, Zhao Kang looked indifferent. These artillery fires should be given to Liu Guangwen, the Qi Emperor who personally defended the city, as a farewell gift.

Although I have never met the other party, I only heard rumors that the other party is a fatuous person.

But at this time, Zhao Kang neither surrendered nor escaped. Zhao Kang still admired the opponent's integrity.

For three full hours, a [-]-meter-wide hole was blasted out of the outer wall of Shengjing City, the capital of the Qi Kingdom.

The barrels of Zhao Kang's thirty artillery pieces were as red as a soldering iron.

Looking through the dust on the ground, there was no living person at all, only a pile of corpses.

"Is the commander entering the city?"

Zhao Kang rolled his eyes: "We only have tens of thousands of people to squeeze in, and ordinary people can knock us to death with hoes and poles! Wait until they choose someone in charge to surrender."

After saying this, Zhao Kang stopped talking. When the other party elected a surrender representative, the Shengjing City was completely defeated.

When the time comes to declare the defeat of Qi in the world, Li Long and the others will basically not have to fight.

The people in Shengjing City did not let Zhao Kang wait too long. Soon he saw a group of disgraced officials, wearing Qi official uniforms, escorted by the imperial army, cautiously coming to the blasted city wall.

Before they even walked in, they shouted at the top of their lungs: "Stop fighting! Stop fighting, we surrender, we surrender!"

Zhao Kang asked the soldiers in the car to come forward and came to the group of officials responsible for surrender without any scruples.

I glanced around, but there was no Zhou Yue, which is great!
He looked at the official who spoke earlier: "Send your name and official position."

The other party seemed to be an official in his early forties, wearing blue silk. When Zhao Kang said this, he knelt down quickly: "General, please spare my life. I am Xia Yun Changqing. I was the right minister of the Ministry of Rites of the State of Qi."

After clicking his tongue, Zhao Kang said with a smile: "Just a right minister. Now can you surrender on behalf of Qi State? Which prime minister, minister, etc. of your Qi State?"

An official trembled, and then said cautiously: "Everyone was killed by the bombing of you generals. Is Zhou Yue also dead?"

"He's dead! He died miserably! I watched him split open!" Zhao Kang was a little bit sad when he heard that. Brother Zhou, you really died in such a miserable state!

Don't worry, I will take care of your wife and children.

"Yun Changqing, right?"

After a brief moment of silence for Zhou Yue, Zhao Kang asked.

Yun Changqing hurriedly responded: "It's a small one."

"I'll give you half an hour to write a document for Qi's surrender. It won't be too difficult for you, right?"

"No, no, no! The article I wrote in the imperial examination back then got a top grade! It doesn't take half an hour and two quarters of an hour to do it!"

In order to survive the enthusiasm of the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Kang asked someone to find pen and ink for him, and he wrote an eloquent article in only half an hour.

Zhao Kang couldn't help but be shocked after taking a look at it. What was written in the article was that Qi State's tyranny was making life difficult for the people. Now, Qian State has received the order of heaven and its divine soldiers descended from the sky to save the people of Qi State from the burning water.

Zhao Kang was amazed when he saw this. This scholar's ability to confuse right and wrong is really incredible!

"General...General, are you still satisfied? If you are not satisfied, you can rewrite it!" Yun Changqing said cautiously.

Zhao Kang nodded: "Yes, it's much better than what I wrote! Someone, take it down and let the army chief copy it and distribute it to all the armies to tell the world!"

The soldiers quickly stepped forward to take the surrender edict.

Looking at Yun Changqing and other officials, Zhao Kang said calmly: "I don't want any turmoil to happen in Shengjing City next, do you understand?"

"Ming! I understand! Commander, don't worry, we will fully cooperate!"

A group of officials quickly knelt down to show their loyalty.

"Enter the city!"

Zhao Kang waved his hand and walked into the Shengjing City Bell under the leadership of Yun Changqing and others. It also announced that Qi, which had been a state for hundreds of years, would cease to exist from today on.

There was chaos in Shengjing City. Some doors were closed tightly, and some looked around blankly.

There were even more sumptuously dressed people gathered together in groups with countless gold and silver treasures piled behind them, ready to show their determination to surrender to the Qian army.

Looking at the blank-eyed people, Zhao Kang ignored them and just issued another order to warn his subordinates not to act recklessly.

More than two hours passed, and the people in Shengjing finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Qianjun neither robbing nor killing.

Zhao Kang's troops were stationed in the outer city. In the evening, the soldiers came to report.

"Commander, there is someone outside asking to see you."

"Who?"

"The other party calls himself Chen Jianghe."

Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows: "Let him come in."

"National Division!"

Chen Jianghe took off his disguise and walked in excitedly. He was also a little excited. He didn't expect Zhao Kang to break into Shengjing City so quickly.

"How is the situation? Everything is fine, just as I said in the previous letter..."

Zhao Kang: "I don't blame you if I know that."
