The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 323

When the cheapskate got the news, he hurried back to the front line and reported to Yun Yuhong what happened during this period and the current situation of the two armies fighting.

I don't know what Zeyu Monarch is thinking. Originally, the cheapskate sent someone to send him a message asking him to reply within three days whether to surrender, but he didn't say anything at that time, and tried to gather troops to attack and block Mo Yun several times. However, when the cheapskate sent troops to surround his capital, he sent someone to send a letter of surrender, and also made demands. The third is that the original Zeyu family enjoys the same courtesy as the Moyun family, and guarantees the safety of their property and descendants.

The miserly ghost was so angry that he tore up the letter of surrender, and asked the envoy to go back and tell the king of Zeyu that it was too late, and his letter of surrender was delivered late. What powers are given to him and what conditions are promised to him.In addition, Zeyu's country should die. Among the three requirements of the king of a country, he left a way out for himself and fought for the rights and interests of the aristocrats, but he didn't want to do anything for the people of Zeyu. It is the death of the country that is not wronged.

After the envoy who was scolded went back, he said something, and the king of Zeyu was also angry. Is there anyone who is not allowed to surrender?If he couldn't guarantee better treatment for himself and his family, why would he surrender? It would be better to fight to the death, and maybe he could get a better chance.It is not an easy task for the ghost king to take his capital city. There are still many people in the city's defenders, imperial forest army, etc. If he gathers the power of Zeyu's whole country, he may not be able to fight against the ghost king army.

King Zeyu summoned all the ministers and nobles, explained the reply of the ghost king army, and then said: "It's not that I don't think about you, and I don't rush to take it for you, but the ghost king army refuses to accept surrender. The ghost king is too arrogant. If we don’t take us seriously, if we don’t do anything and don’t let the King of Ghosts know how powerful we are, he won’t agree to our terms. Since everyone’s results are similar, why don’t we fight with our backs and fight to the death.”

The others didn't expect such a result. They thought that at least they would end up with the same result as Ruifeng. At worst, they could transfer to another place and still enjoy the wealth and glory. However, not being surrendered meant that Mo Yun didn't recognize their current status, and their lives and wealth would also be destroyed. If there is no guarantee, it is not impossible for the ghost king to copy them if he is unhappy. After all, with the example of Yuxue back then, they will not sit still.

So if you want to negotiate with the ghost king, you need to have a bargaining chip. At least let the ghost king know that if they don't want to surrender, it will not be easy to take down this city.Then they have more leverage.

The more aggressive ones started to discuss with Lord Zeyu how to defend the city, which would be more beneficial to them, and some people began to worry. After all, the generals, including the god of war Mo Lingyu, could not do one thing, they could do it. are you there?What is the benefit of continuing to resist like this? When people persuaded them to surrender, they wanted to gain bargaining chips and did not reply, but now they are serious, but it is too late.They want to survive, and they are not interested in fighting behind them, so it is reasonable to preserve their property and find a chance to escape this catastrophe.

Yun Yuhong listened to the cheapskate's narration, and exchanged glances with Bai Ziyu. The people in Beijing who were looking for trouble were these aristocrats from aristocratic families, and the aristocrats from aristocratic families in Beijing were already full, and they really couldn't let Zeyu go. So, no Necessary to leave hidden dangers for the future, a one-time solution.

Yun Yuhong said: "Send out the word, Zeyu loves to surrender or not, if you want to surrender, don't negotiate terms with me, put down your weapons immediately, I'm in the mood to save their lives, it's easier to fight, and I, the ghost king, will accompany them to the end."

The cheapskate looked at Yun Yuhong's stomach, so you still have to go to the battlefield?Bai Ziyu smiled and said: "Hong'er can't fight, isn't there you? You won't tell me that you can't take down this capital without Hong'er's help!"

The cheapskate patted his chest and said: "What is this small capital city, master and prime minister don't worry, it's on me."

The cheapskate turned and left. With Yun Yuhong's decision, he gained confidence and immediately arranged soldiers to prepare for the siege.

Yun Yuhong took Bai Ziyu's hand and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to stay here until I give birth, but it's good if Yulang can come. Someone will take care of the next government affairs, and I'll save a lot of trouble."

Bai Ziyu smiled, "As long as your body doesn't ask, I'm not worried here, but I'm worried about the situation in Beijing."

Yun Yuhong thought for a while and said: "The little prince has made great progress recently, why not send him back to preside over the overall situation."

Bai Ziyu thought for a while and said, "He's still a bit younger, I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress those people."

Yun Yuhong smiled and said: "If you can't hold it down, it's his destiny. Let him practice. With us here, there won't be any big troubles. As for his original job, didn't you say If you want to send officials from central Beijing, then let some of them come out to work."

Bai Ziyu also smiled and said: "It seems that you have decided what to do, and only you can get these old tricksters out of Beijing."

Yun Yuhong invited Hu Lewen and said: "The war here is not important anymore, but I lack civil servants to manage affairs, especially after I take down Zeyu, I don't want to use any of Zeyu's officials. Yes, so I want you to bring [-] soldiers and horses to Beijing to help me escort some civil servants. Of course, I will let my father make an order first. I will ask the Prime Minister to help you fix the personnel. If they don’t come, you will arrest them. If you resist, you will be executed on the spot for the crime of resisting the decree. Do you understand?"

Hu Lewen was stunned, but after all, he had been in the officialdom for a long time before, and soon figured out the trick, and immediately responded: "The last general will obey the order."

Yun Yuhong finished writing a letter, Bai Ziyu drew up a list, sealed them and handed them over to Hu Lewen. Hu Lewen ordered the troops and set off immediately.

The stingy ghost is now full of confidence. After preparing everything, he begins to attack the city. The soldiers defending the city are also tenacious. They guard the city tightly, making it difficult for Mo Yun's army to move forward. It really has the momentum of a battle behind the scenes .

The cheapskate has also found some tricks now, such as asking the soldiers to read Zeyu's letter of surrender aloud on the spot, and especially emphasized the three requirements. When the voice was heard on the battlefield, many Zeyu soldiers were discouraged, and their momentum It's as big as it used to be.It turned out that the monarch insisted on fighting because the terms of surrender were not negotiated. They still thought about defending their home and country, and fighting bloody battles on the battlefield. Is there any point for them to continue fighting like this?

Zeyu's army's momentum has weakened, but Moyun's soldiers have grown in momentum. Originally, Zeyu was ready to surrender. It seems that they also think that they can't beat us, and the ghost king didn't even agree to their conditions. Absolute confidence?Since they must win, of course they must work hard.

In about half a day, the cheapskate finally commanded the army to break through the east gate. As soon as the gate was opened, Mo Yun's soldiers poured in like a tide, and the battle began to be one-sided.

But in the afternoon, Zeyu's soldiers began to retreat, and the miserly ghost commanded the army to attack the capital and head straight for the palace.

And some time in Zeyu Palace, King Zeyu sat on the dragon chair without saying a word after hearing the news that the city was broken.The ministers below were discussing a lot, some said that they should not fight at all, and surrendered directly without any conditions, maybe they could save their lives; Occupied by Moyun, it is possible to start a new stove there;
Looking at the ministers below, Lord Chi Yan only felt cold-hearted. He has always been a useless monarch, but after a few years, the original great country disappeared, and he became the king of subjugation. Surrendering to a monarch that others disdain to accept, the ghost king made people read the surrender book in public. Isn't this telling the world how cowardly he is, how incompetent he is, and what will future generations say about him? Will the face survive?
Of course, he has no face to live on. These people below are all thinking about their own calculations. Maybe they will live better if they change to the master. Why, if he doesn't live, they don't want to live either.

As if he had thought of something, Lord Zeyu sighed, "Forget it, since the city can't be defended, we can only surrender. Don't worry, my lords, I will tell the King of Ghosts that the entire royal family will Wealth, save the lives of all the ministers, I think the ghost king will not refuse."

All the ministers bowed and saluted, and many of them even showed joy.

Lord Chiyan said indifferently: "The fate of chatting with everyone as a monarch and minister is over. I am afraid that it will not be easy to see each other after today, or we will never see each other again. In this way, I will chat with everyone and drink a farewell bar."

With a wave of hand, many palace people came in with some wine glasses and jugs, and filled them up for the ministers. Many people looked suspicious, what kind of wine are they drinking at this time? Is this wine okay?

Lord Chiyan picked up the wine glass and said: "This is the last time to respect my lords. After drinking this cup, everyone must obey their destiny. I am the king of the subjugated country, and you are the ministers of the subjugated country. Everyone cherish each other."

Drink it up when you finish speaking.

Seeing that King Zeyu had drunk, many people settled down to finish the wine, while others were hesitant.Lord Zeyu smiled lightly and said: "Why, the country has not yet perished, and some people will not listen to my words?"

After thinking for a while, he said: "Hey, drink it. Don't you know that I and many people have drunk it? What's the matter with us? I don't want your life to be so simple. I can handle you."

The others saw that what Zeyu King said was reasonable, and that the others did not feel any discomfort, so they drank the wine in their glasses with peace of mind.Lord Zeyu smiled and said: "Okay, that's right, this is my good subject, I won't let you suffer."
