The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 151 - Yuxue Country's Surrender
When the news of Wangcheng's fall had just reached Yuxue's court, the army of one hundred thousand ghost kings had already approached the city, guarding both the north gate and the east gate.Lord Yuxue finally felt scared this time.Yes, Mo Yun is already approaching the city. Except for the 20 city guards and [-] imperial guards guarding the city, the others are far from being able to quench their thirst, but these two armies cannot compare with Cao's army and Jiang's army anyway. But the ghost king's army is in full swing, and it is only a matter of time before an army of [-] can take down Qiongcheng.

Yuxue's courtiers also couldn't accept this situation. Isn't Yuxue the strongest in the five kingdoms?Doesn't Yuxue belong to the Jiang family and the Cao family of famous generals?Doesn't Yuxue have millions of soldiers?Didn't Yuxue say that Mo Yun, a small country, can be easily crushed?But why did they lose in less than three months?The King of Ghosts only brought 10 people into Yuxue. Although he added another [-] later, it was still far behind the million Yuxue army. How could it be possible to send troops to the city so quickly?Is it really Yuxue who is dying?

King Yuxue asked all the ministers how to respond, but all the ministers remained silent.Lord Yuxue was confused and asked: "Didn't you ask for peace two days ago? I promised to ask for peace. Which of your ministers is willing to go to the ghost king to make peace?"

The ministers still didn't speak. At that time, Yuxue took the top spot, at least she didn't lose. You said there was still hope for reconciliation, but now Yuxue is doomed to lose. Only ghosts can only be ghosts if the ghost king is willing to make peace.

Monarch Yuxue was furious, pointed at Prime Minister Zhang and said, "Prime Minister, what should we do in your opinion?"

Prime Minister Zhang said: "The minister recommends Sun Shangshu to go." Sun Shangshu belongs to the third prince's faction, and at such a time, the thankless things should be pushed out.

Sun Shangshu hated in his heart, if he wanted me to take the place of the dead ghost, I would take the blame.Sun Shangshu said: "Who is going to negotiate a peace is not the point. Didn't Mr. Zhang go there last time and failed to satisfy the ghost king's needs. Everything is empty talk."

Everyone's faces changed color, what is the ghost king's demand?She wants to seek justice for Princess Yuxiang.But how to give this justice is related to the second prince and the second prince's family members. They are all noble daughters, and they have a lot to do with it.

Monarch Yuxue shook his head, but looked at the second prince standing beside him.

The second prince's face is also pale, the fifth prince is dead, their faction has no hope in winning the heir apparent, logically he can take the lead, but it doesn't matter now, the important thing is that the ghost king is approaching the city.Thinking about the hardships and crimes he suffered under Yun Yuhong's hands, the second prince was afraid and hated at the same time, but after Sun Shangshu told the truth, his face turned pale.After returning from Mo Yun, he was the one who insisted on attacking Mo Yun, but who would have expected such a day to come.Is he going to be pushed out to make amends?

It was on the third day that Yun Yuhong led her troops to the Qiongcheng city. She led the troops to surround the south and west gates of Qiongcheng.

Just after she set up the tent, she received a notification from Yuxue that the envoy had arrived at the door.Yun Yuhong smiled coldly and asked someone to call the envoy into the big tent.

The envoy this time is Lord Sun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. Unlike Zhang Zichen, the servant of the Ministry of War, who had his nostrils turned upside down for the first time, this envoy came in very humble, with his waist bent.Yun Yuhong, all the generals and a few children watched him walk in, except for Yun Yuhong, everyone else felt a sense of elation.

Master Sun greeted Yun Yuhong and said respectfully: "This time, the monarch of our country sent me here to ask the King of Ghosts for a truce and to restore the friendship between the two countries. Yuxue, Moyun and Moyun have been friendly for generations..."

Yun Yuhong waved his hand and said: "Master Sun, I still have a lot of things to do, let's talk straight. I said last time that you must be sincere in negotiating a peace. Now that Mo Yun has won, you Yuxue will Pay the price and give our country justice. Are you ready now?"

Mr. Sun was taken aback, and complained in his heart, what the Ghost King said was very clear, but it was too clear, and he no longer had any empathy.Of course, thinking about Yuxue's attitude towards Mo Yun all the time, is there anything else to talk about? "What happened to Aunt Yuxiang is indeed the fault of the second prince. The Holy Majesty promised the ghost king that he will deal with it strictly, and give justice to Princess Yuxiang and the royal family of Moyun."

Yun Yuhong smiled, "No need, I will ask for justice on my own. Now that I am approaching the city, I will attack Qiongcheng in a few days. I will not bother King Yuxue with justice."

Master Sun broke out in cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Ghost King, the king of our country will definitely give this justice."

Yun Yuhong pointed at Mr. Ning and said, "Master Sun, do you know Mr. Ning? Do you know that Mr. Ning also wants justice from the monarch of your country?"

Master Sun looked up at Mr. Ning and sighed, "I can't decide on this matter, I have to go back and discuss it." To seek revenge, how can this matter be good, how can the emperor act like a courtier, it seems that this time he is doomed to return without success.

Yun Yuhong smiled and said, "Then go back and ask for clarification."

Watching Lord Sun exit the tent, General Gao asked, "Ghost King, what shall we do next?"

Yun Yuhong said indifferently: "Do you still need to ask? If it is time to attack the city, then attack the city. Do you think it is possible to stop at this point?"

General Wu said with a smile: "That's right, Lao Gao, it's unnecessary for you to ask this question. In the morning, I will attack the south city, and you attack the west city. Let's see who takes Qiongcheng first."

Yun Yuhong glanced at him and said: "This is the most stupid way. Now our two countries have the same military strength, but he has 30 troops coming, and we don't have that many, so we must be fast and slow. All could fail."

General Gao asked, "Then what shall we do?"

Yun Yuhong smiled and said: "Siege the city, attack the city from four directions at the same time."

General Gao, General Wu and the others looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Yun Yuhong's gourd.Yun Yuhong only smiled slightly, but stopped talking.

Early the next morning, the ghost king's army began to attack the city from all sides.The siege was very fierce, and the defenders were unambiguous. The two armies fought fiercely until the afternoon.But in Qiongcheng, the Jiang family, the Cao family and other aristocratic families received an identical letter, the content of which was very clear, as long as the king of Yuxue was captured or the gate of the city was opened to welcome the ghost king, the ghost king would ensure his prosperity and wealth for generations. Otherwise, once the ghost king invades the city, those who are falsely promoted will be executed all over the house.

The loyal Jiang family and the Cao family will not be moved, but there are always some traitors seeking glory at any time. The shouts of killing at the gates of Qiongcheng have frightened them. The feeling that Yuxue is about to be wiped out, and this is a misfortune but also an opportunity.The ghost king threw out an olive branch. If he can make a contribution at this time, then he will not be able to achieve success in the future.It's just that these people's eagerness to move couldn't be hidden from those who cared, and many of them were leaked out.

The Lord of Yuxue Kingdom is a suspicious person, but when he received a secret report that the ghost king secretly instigated officials and family members to rebel, he couldn't sit still, and issued an order that all officials and the heads of the family members in Qiong City must enter the palace. The palace accompanied the king to drive.If you don't come, you will directly ransack your family and exterminate your family.For a moment, Qiongcheng, which was already restless, became even more frantic and panicked.

The ministers were guarded, and many things were delayed. Those who were imprisoned were worried and afraid, and those who were not imprisoned were in constant panic. Who could put all their minds on defending the city?Undoubtedly, the actions of Monarch Yuxue greatly disappointed the hearts of the people.

The guard of the west city was originally a member of the Li family among the top ten families of Yuxue. His name was Li Leicheng. He was very dissatisfied when he heard the news that his father had been admitted to the palace and never came out again. There was chaos and no one to do anything.Looking at the ghost king's army densely packed under the city, he had an idea of ​​why he didn't perish if he had no way.

The horn of the ghost king's army siege sounded again, but Li Leicheng did not order the soldiers to go to the top of the city immediately, but asked people to prepare the things for the city defense. Let's fight. What else do we have to prepare?"

Li Lei said angrily: "Such a small amount of stuff is not enough, maybe it won't last for an hour, let's prepare."

The lieutenant general looked at him, resisted not saying anything, but hurried to prepare.

The ghost king's army had already set up a ladder at the bottom of the city, and the west city defenders went up to the top of the city, but it was a bit late, and the ghost king's army was under the cover of the archers on the ground, and soon someone climbed up.And if there is one, there will be a second, and there will be more. Soon, the gate of the west city is opened, and the ghost king army swarms in.For a moment, cheers from the ghost king's army sounded in Qiongcheng.

Yun Yuhong stood behind the army, and was stunned for a moment when he heard the news that Xicheng had been captured.She wanted to play psychological warfare, let Yuxue loose her defenses, and even make mistakes to give them an opportunity. She really didn't expect that anyone would listen to her high-ranking and generous nonsense and turn against her.However, these are not important anymore, most of the ghost king's army has entered, all she has to do is go to Yuxue's palace to meet the Yuxue King.

Now that Qiongcheng was broken, the defenders of Qiongcheng had no fighting spirit, and many people surrendered.Yun Yuhong led the people to the gate of Yuxue Palace very quickly.The [-] imperial guards guarding the palace were already in full formation. It seemed that the lineup was in order, but they looked at Yun Yuhong and the others with fear in their eyes.

Yun Yuhong said indifferently: "You guys send me a message. This is the end of the matter, and the Lord Yuxue doesn't need to increase unnecessary casualties. Give you half an hour, if Yuxue falls, I will leave your Bai family's royal line , if you don't surrender, wait for me to rush in, and I guarantee that no one from the Bai clan will survive."

The city guards ran in quickly to deliver a message.Yun Yuhong asked someone to move a chair to sit and wait.Half an hour passed quickly, and when Yun Yuhong stood up and was about to order an attack, a sharp cry sounded: "Ghost King is merciful, Yuxue has surrendered!"

A eunuch ran over, holding a document, Yun Yuhong took it and saw that it was the letter of surrender.Looking at the gate, the defenders put down their weapons and stood aside, the palace gate was already open.Yun Yuhong walked in first.I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the Yuxue Kingdom has surrendered, and the battle is finally over.
