“Has Lord Xu even turned against the people of Tang?”
The Marquis of Sheyang really didn’t know what to say.
He knew that Xu Qingnian was fierce.
But what he didn’t expect was that Xu Qingnian had even turned against the soldiers and generals of the Tang Kingdom.
This was really …… The first thing you can do is to take a look at the situation.
“Marquis, but you don’t know how powerful Lord Xu is… Back when the Fan Kingdom was destroyed, Lord Xu had already contacted us privately.”
“We naturally followed Wei willingly, Marquis, you don’t know that we didn’t want to rebel at all, but we were forced to by these guys.”
“So when Lord Xu recruited us, the first thing we did was agree, these dogs, dead foreigners, treated us as death-defying soldiers, no share of the benefits for us, let us do the bad things.”
“Lord Xu asked us to turn against the people of Tang, but he also asked us to pick the right people, we looked at them for days and eventually found that the second prince of Tang was very disobedient to the prince of Tang.”
“So we ……”
This person is somewhat talkative, will be the cause and effect of the general tell once, the shot Yang marquis want to listen but do not want to listen, mainly because this guy nonsense too much.
Therefore, interrupted in advance and said.
“You have turned the second prince?”
Marquis Sheyang asked.
“No, we rebelled against the Tenth Prince.”
“Marquis, listen to the sinner, originally our target was indeed the Second Prince, we secretly told Lord Xu, but it turned out that Lord Xu told us not to turn against the Second Prince, but to choose a prince who had the least hope of ascending to the throne.”
“What Lord Xu means is that although the Second Prince disobeys the First Prince, this kind of person has talent and this kind of person understands right and wrong and knows that with the destruction of the Tang Kingdom, even if he becomes emperor, he won’t have much to gain and will be controlled by Great Wei to death.”
“So it is extremely dangerous, and finding a useless imperial son would be most suitable.”
The other party explained.
After hearing this, Marquis Sheyang could not help but reveal his approval.
Xu Qingnian was really smart.
He was simply a detail freak, if it were himself, he would have chosen the second prince, after all, the second prince disobeyed the crown prince and wanted to become the new emperor of Tang.
But Xu Qingnian was thinking on a deeper level. The Second Prince of Tang did want to become the Emperor, but who would be willing to sacrifice the entire Tang Kingdom for a throne that was of no use?
But it was different for the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince.
It was basically impossible for them to fight for the throne, and in the future, when the crown prince ascended to the throne, they would probably either become clansmen or engage in fights within the palace.
If they were unlucky, they might just die.
But right now a man appears and tells you that I will make you emperor, but on one condition, and that condition is that you have to listen to me.
Will you do it? I believe there is not a single imperial son who would not want to say yes.
It doesn’t matter if you have power or not, you just have to be happy. If you become the King of Tang, you can pay tribute every year, and you don’t care what the people do.
What’s the point of having dignity? I can eat and drink well, and my family will be happy. To put it bluntly, the emperor’s family is the most heartless, and the emperor has so many sons that he doesn’t care.
And being born into an imperial family, one cannot have much affection for one’s father either.
This is the internal conflict within the imperial family.
Naturally, the Tenth Prince took the bait, taking what was not his in the first place, in exchange for his future glory and fortune.
Only a fool would not agree.
“Shouren, how clever.”
The Marquis of Sheyang said with some emotion.
At the same time, his gaze could not help but fall on this foreigner, and his tone was calm as he said.
“You have done a good job in this matter, when you take down the Tang Kingdom, this Marquis will credit you with the first merit.”
“By the way, what is your name?”
Marquis Shuyang said so, except that he did not know the other party’s name.
“Thank you, Marquis, thank you, Marquis.”
“The sinful minister is of the Red Dragon clan, the deputy commander.”
“I’m afraid that the sinful minister’s different name is only too hard for Your Excellency to remember, Your Excellency remember my Great Wei name, I have a Great Wei name.”
“My grandfather has part of the Great Wei bloodline, I also have part of the Great Wei bloodline in me, my grandfather’s surname is Li, my father wanted me to be generous in my actions and loyal, so he named me Li Daring.”
“Marquis, just call me Daring.”
The other party chattered a lot and finally said such a strange name, making Marquis Sheyang really a bit at a loss as to what to say.
“Deputy Commander? Where is the main commander?”
Marquis Sheyang asked curiously.
“He was killed by the sinful minister, he was hesitant, the sinful minister directly cut him down, now all of the Red Dragon tribe listen to the sinful minister, please rest a*sured, the sinful minister will sweep away all obstacles for the Great Wei, and kill all of these rebellious B*****ds!”
“But I still hope that after this matter is over, your Highness will do me a favour, the greatest dream of my life is to become a righteous Wei man.”
“If the Marquis does not mind, I am willing to become the Marquis’ righteous son.”
Li Daring said with unbridled excitement.
These words of his were not really false, in fact, the national prestige of Great Wei did indeed influence these foreign nations.
After all, the glory of Great Wei was there.
Although many countries had turned against each other this time, most of them actually did not want to.
Of course, the main reason is that these countries are too weak to turn their backs on them.
The Red Dragon tribe, like the Red Dragon tribe, is a small country and is called a country, which is why they call themselves a country in order to create a dynasty of nations.
But they call themselves tribes.
After all, calling it a country was a bit shameless.
And Xu Qingnian is seizing on this point, there are people who rebel, but there are also people who don’t want to rebel.
They have gathered more than 100 countries to rebel, right?
I will break you up from within.
After this, it is guaranteed that the hundred countries will start to fight against each other.
You want everyone to work together?
Brother, aren’t you awake? Who doesn’t want to be the biggest winner?
Sometimes it is harder to see other countries develop well than to see yourself develop badly.
The hearts of people are the most complicated thing in this world, and it just so happens that what Xu Qingnian plays with is the hearts of people.
Destroy your country and kill your heart.
The Hundred Nation Alliance?
You can go to hell.
“Kill!”
The Marquis of Shuyang did not want to nag anymore, and he could not wait any longer to join the battlefield.
A king marquis joined the battlefield.
It could be said that it was a one-sided ma*sacre.
Originally, there were two fourth-ranked kings in the outer city, but all of them had now run away to the inner city.
Those who were stronger had already run away to the inner city.
It was a sure thing that the outer city would be defeated, and to stay would be to seek death.
The 400,000 troops were like wolves and tigers, and even a fourth-ranked king couldn’t carry them.
An hour later.
Not even an hour later.
Tang Foreign City was under control.
The 500,000-strong army guarding Tang’s foreign city was taken over by the Great Wei Qilin Army in a crushing manner.
The fighting style and strength of the Great Wei Qilin Army surpa*sed them by far too much.
Of the 500,000 troops, apart from the 200,000 who ran away one after another, the remaining 300,000 were slaughtered by close to 70,000 to 80,000, leaving over 200,000 generals who were all suppressed.
Most of those slaughtered were foreigners. The Tang generals were smart enough to surrender in a group at a critical moment.
They knew that surrendering would be a death sentence, but they knew even better that not surrendering would be an even worse death.
After all, we were all of the same clan, so there might be a chance of survival.
In this battle, the Great Wei Qilin Army had a good time.
In this battle, the Great Wei Qilin Army has also achieved greatness.
How stifling was the fight before?
Attack the city! Attack the city! Attacking the city!
After dying so many brothers, only to not be able to attack, and then being taunted by these dogs, they were now completely comfortable.
And it wasn’t just here.
Tuliang and Amuta were no better.
Tuliang’s 200,000-strong Qilin army had entered the battle like nobody’s business and ended it in just one hour.
The reason was simple: Tuliang thought that his country would not suffer, so he even increased his troops by 40% to Amuta.
Within an hour, the kingdom was completely under control, not just controlled, half of the soldiers were dead and the rest were tied up and piled up in the palace.
The royal family of Tuliang was the worst offender, all hanging under the palace, so humiliated that the ruler wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself, but with something in his mouth, he could not do so.
The Marquis of Guangyang was not fooled, and after taking down Tuliang, he immediately sent back military intelligence, and at the same time sent 100,000 more troops to Amuta to aid the Marquis of Lingyang.
After all, Amuta is currently strong, with 40% of Tuliang’s troops, plus 300,000 troops from Tang, and a lot of troops themselves, 200,000 Qilin troops are not unwinnable, but they will have to pay a certain price.
If another 100,000 troops were added to the army, it would reduce the number of casualties.
Amuta Kingdom.
Indeed, it is difficult for the 200,000-strong Qilin army to take down a well-strength Amuta.
The total strength of the opponent was a million, a million against 200,000, and the fact that they were fighting on other people’s territory, the Great Wei Qilin Army was indeed a bit unable to do so.
At this rate, it would take at least three more hours to take Amuta.
This made Marquis Lin Yang feel a little depressed.
He had personally fought, one man against two kings, and had not fallen short, but he had not taken advantage of them either.
But in contrast to the Marquis of Lin Yang’s difficulty, it was the King of Amuta who was completely and utterly uncomfortable.
Today, he had seen how terrifying the Great Wei Qilin Army was.
The 200,000 Qilin army had killed a million soldiers. If he went on like this, he was afraid that he would soon be killed by the sword.
He was not happy! He was also very angry.
We were all foreigners, why were there a bunch of traitors like this?
Who should he be but a dog for the Great Wei?
He was furious. According to Amuta’s strength, the 200,000-strong Great Wei Kirin army would not have been able to break the city, but he had never thought that the allies he trusted so much were all F**king traitors.
They had opened the gates wide, and some of them had poisoned the wine yesterday, making it impossible for a group of soldiers to go out and kill the enemy.
And now, the Qi Lin Army of Wei has already killed the enemy, and they are all like chicken blood, which is really hard for him to bear.
Inside the state capital.
The 200,000 Qilin troops were indeed like a chicken’s blood.
For the past few days, they kept charging, kept taking casualties, and even if they were holding their breath, every time they retreated, the Amuta generals would put cold arrows on the walls and then all kinds of verbal insults.
If the attack on the city was an order from above, yet half of the killing of the enemy was now their own personal vendetta.
Inside the state capital.
One of the Great Wei Kirin Army, grabbing a foreigner by the hair in a deadly grip, said in a loud and unmistakable voice.
“We, the Qi Lin army, are we still timid or not? Still cowardly or not? Is that all? Is this still it?”
“Stop fighting, stop fighting, let me do the fighting, let me do the fighting.”
“Dogs, are you still shouting? You think you’re the best because you’re defending the city? Why don’t you fight anymore? Why don’t you keep firing cold arrows?”
The 200,000-strong Qilin army was killing very fiercely, something the Marquis of Linyang had not expected.
But when he thought about it, he could not help but think about it, for the past few days, everyone had been fighting with great frustration.
Now that they had the chance, how could they let these guys go?
At that very moment, the sound of horses’ hooves rang out, alarming the capital.
Inside the palace, a spy came running in in a panic, excitedly saying.
“Report! Report! There is a huge army coming towards the capital! Suspected to be friendly troops!”
As the voice rang out, King Amuta and many of his courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.
King Amuta, in particular, was filled with tears of excitement that a friendly army had finally arrived.
But the next moment, another message arrived.
“Report! The party has made a mistake in scouting, it’s not a friendly army, it’s the Qilin army.”
King Amuta: “…….”
The whole court: “…….”
The crowd was really speechless and angry, they had no words to say, it had come to this point, but there was still a mistake? How could this not make them angry?
“Someone, drag this spy out and chop him up!”
King Amuta could not help but roar in anger, this was his last stubbornness.
“Prime Minister, what should we do next? What should I do?”
King Amuta looked at his prime minister, anxious and on the verge of tears.
“Your Majesty, right now there is only one way to go, flee! We retreat backwards and flee to the Kingdom of Chen, there are 72 cities in the Kingdom of Chen, they will surely accept us.”
“If you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of not having wood to burn.”
“Your Majesty!”
What could Chancellor Amuta do? The only way was to run, at least running still had a chance of survival.
The Qilin army is coming back with reinforcements, you can’t even beat 200,000, and they are increasing their troops, what can you do to fight?
“The Lone King is not willing to do so.”
King Amuta clenched his fist, he was reluctant.
But the next moment, the prime minister continued to speak.
“There is another way.”
“Fight to the death! Fight to the death!”
“It’s not a big deal to die in the middle of the gates of the country, it’s also a matter of temperament.”
The prime minister said seriously.
In an instant, King Amuta took a deep breath as he clenched his fists and said viciously.
“Go!”
“We will kill back when we revive our banner!”
King Amuta roared, he was resigned, his words were full of humiliation, he knew that the Tang Kingdom could no longer be relied upon, running first was the way to go.
Otherwise, they would really be dead.
As King Amuta’s military order was given, a large number of generals began to flee for a moment; some of them had run before, and now that the king had given the order, what was there to say about not running?
Unfortunately, the city walls had long been occupied by the Qilin army.
A crossbow was fired, and the stone throwers inside the city, together with the various kerosene arrows, worked wonders in this moment.
The faster they ran, the faster they died.
“Block the city gates!”
The voice of the Marquis of Linyang rang out.
Blockade the city gates directly.
Want to run? Dream on, you guys.
Half an hour later.
With the reinforcement of 100,000 Kirin troops, the battle was no longer in doubt, and the Great Wei Kirin army pushed through everything like a torrent.
The capital of Amuta was captured, and the flag of the Great Wei army was planted above the four gates of the city, proclaiming the victory of Great Wei.
And right now, only the Tang Kingdom remained.
The foreign city of Tang was already occupied by the Qilin army.
So the Tang generals were all imprisoned and taken prisoner, waiting for Xu Qingnian’s order whether to kill or keep them.
Inside the Tang country, however, it was already in chaos.
All the foreign reinforcements had been driven out of the capital by a decree from the Tang ruler, and the nearly 200,000 reinforcements were dumbfounded.
They had done nothing, but had been driven out as spies.
The Qilin army was waiting for them outside, and to drive themselves out now was no less than letting themselves die.
The leaders of the 17 nations kept explaining to the Tang, but all they got was a rain of arrows, and the leaders of the 17 nations were completely furious.
They had come a long way to come to their aid, but in return, they were indifferent and distant?
How could anyone bear that?
But they were still angry.
They were still afraid. 400,000 Qilin soldiers, who wouldn’t be afraid?
They tried to run, but their escape route was all taken by the Kirin Army.
With 200,000 reinforcements, there was no chance of a fight.
They wanted to fight to the death, but what they didn’t expect was that the Kirin army blocking their retreat didn’t make a move on them, but invited them to make peace.
Yes, they were invited.
Great Wei invited them.
The reinforcements of the 17 nations were excited, they thought they were going to die, but they didn’t think they would be recruited?
Therefore, the leaders of the reinforcements of the seventeen countries all came to the city outside Tang and met the Marquis of Sheyang.
“We, the sinners!”
“Kowtow to the Marquis!”
The general commanders of the seventeen countries knelt in front of the Marquis of Sheyang in unison, they were in a very nervous mood, fearing that this was a trick, but there was nothing they could do, whether it was a trick or not.
The back way was blocked and a fight to the death would not end well, so they might as well fight to see what would happen.
It’s not possible to trick yourself into killing them, is it? There was no need for that.
Even if the Qilin army is fierce, if you kill 200,000 of me, I will kill 20,000 to 30,000 of you, right?
“Humph!”
“If Lord Xu hadn’t interceded for you, according to my marquis, all of you would have died.”
The Marquis of Sheyang spoke coldly as he looked at this group of people, his eyes filled with cold intent.
He didn’t mind killing as many of these foreigners as he could.
At these words, the heads of the commanders bowed even deeper, they were also stifled, but what could they do? What else can you do if you can’t beat others?
“All right, this marquis will not say more nonsense, now I will give you a chance, a chance to reform yourselves.”
“Attack the capital of Tang, use all your strength to do so, I don’t care how many people die, but those who survive, this marquis can also guarantee you.”
“No harm will be done to you, but of course it must wait until after the battle.”
The Marquis of Sheyang stated this condition, which was not an order given by Xu Qingnian, but his own thoughts.
To attack Tang, there was definitely a need for manpower, and 400,000 Qilin troops were perfectly sufficient, but the question was, to leave these 200,000 men unused and let his own people go on? Isn’t that sick?
As it happened, the Tang had driven them out, so one could make full use of these men and let these men go and kill the Tang generals in return.
This 200,000-strong army may not be able to win, but at the very least, they can bite off a piece of Tang’s flesh.
When the time comes, the Qilin army will then move out, and they will be completely sitting on their hands.
When this was said, the leading army commanders of the seventeen countries really weren’t surprised at all, after all, their only use was this.
Only someone couldn’t help but speak up.
“Marquis, there is no problem in allowing us to conquer, just that after the conquest is over, can we be released to leave on our own? Please guarantee, Marquis, that we will definitely not offend Great Wei again.”
Someone spoke up, he wished to leave and help Great Wei F**k Tang, they were willing to do so, but afterwards, they had to stay, they were a little reluctant.
“Are you qualified to negotiate terms?”
The Marquis of Sheyang spoke coldly, he somehow felt that this person was a bit ridiculous.
How dare they want to negotiate terms?
What a ridiculous thing to say.
What qualifications do you have to negotiate?
“Since you are unwilling to do so, then let’s do as this Marquis wishes, kill!”
The Marquis of Shueyang spoke indifferently, he was looking for these people, he just wanted to make use of them, it was best to agree, if not, he would kill them.
Even if your army is determined to die, he will not be afraid to give up 5,000 troops to wipe out these 200,000 troops.
Five thousand for two hundred thousand, he will not lose at all.
Even if he joined the battlefield himself, the casualties would be even less.
“Please forgive me, Marquis, we promise!”
“Marquis, we promise.”
“Please forgive me, Marquis.”
At this moment, the seventeen country commanders immediately became honest, knowing that they were not qualified to negotiate terms, and that they were just testing the waters, but they did not expect Marquis Sheyang to be so decisive.
Naturally they didn’t dare to nag.
“Fine!”
“Rectify for half an hour, kill!”
The Marquis of Sheyang only gave them half an hour to regroup, and after half an hour, they would be the vanguard and charge through.
At that moment, the Marquis of Sheyang had his men keep a close watch on these foreigners. At the same time, the Marquis of Sheyang did not stay idle and had ten generals lead 50,000 troops to search for hidden criminals, as well as all kinds of resources, not a single stone of grain could be missed.
These were all the spoils of war, and they must be counted carefully.
And at this time.
The capital of the Tang Kingdom.
Inside the Tang Palace.
The faces of all the civil and military officials were pale.
The Minister of War, Lin Qiu, had even lost his soul.
Originally, they thought that if the Qilin Army wanted to attack the city, it would be impossible to take over the Tang Kingdom unless the 900,000-strong army came together in one go.
Even if the 900,000-strong army came together, they still had a way to block it for half a month.
And yet, they did not expect it.
One night!
No, not a night.
It was a matter of hours, and the city outside Tang was overrun.
They had counted on everything, but they had not counted on Xu Qingnian to use this trick.
This was truly incomparably vicious.
At this moment, in the main hall of the royal palace, the civil servants of the court began to argue.
Some suggested that they should immediately think of a way out, while others suggested that they should hold on to the Tang capital, arguing that the foreigners had been driven out and there would be no more spies, so they should hold on to the gates and wait for new a*sistance.
The two sides were extremely controversial and quarrelled.
In the end, the King of Tang slapped his throne and roared in anger.
“All of you, quieten down.”
As the Tang King spoke, with a roar, the great hall quieted down at this moment.
Everyone looked towards the Tang King with some fear.
On the throne, the Tang King looked angrily at the Minister of War, Lin Qiu, he wanted to reprimand Lin Qiu fiercely, but when he saw that Lin Qiu was already in such a state, he finally sighed.
He didn’t know what to do anymore.
The distance between the two was only fifty miles, and in the outer city, there was no telling how much food and straw was stored.
In terms of consumption, the capital of the Tang Kingdom is really no match for the Qi Lin Army of Wei.
The only reason for this is that the outer city is the most important city, and almost 70% of the food and provisions are inside the outer city.
This is really a case of lifting a stone and smashing one’s own feet.
However, at that moment, a voice rang out.
It was the voice of Xu Mao, the Minister of Rites.
“Your Majesty, I have a plan.”
With the sound of Xu Mao’s voice, King Tang instantly perked up, and with joy in his eyes, he looked at Xu Mao and said.
“Speak quickly, Ai Qing.”
Your Highness.
Xu Mao took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke.
“Your Majesty, I have a plan.”
“Surrender to the Great Wei!”
Xu Mao said so, and when this plan was said, the joy and expectation in the eyes of the court was instantly gone.
What did they think Xu Mao could come up with? But this was it?
Surrender to Wei? You need to say that?
A look of disappointment flashed across the eyes of the Tang King, but he didn’t reject it outright, instead he looked at Xu Mao and said.
“Ai Qing speaks first.”
Hearing this, Xu Mao did not speak without nonsense.
“Your Majesty, I know that the word surrender sounds very ridiculous.”
“But at the moment, this is the only way to preserve my Tang Kingdom.”
“Otherwise, if Great Wei occupies the outer cities and has enough provisions, it will be nothing but an early death and a late death for us.”
“Once we have no provisions, even if we go back to surrender at that time, will Great Wei agree? No, it won’t.”
“So why not, at this time, we should just surrender.”
“Great Wei will definitely agree, because this is only the second battle, there are still five more battles waiting for Great Wei.”
“Great Wei cannot stay for long, we surrender to Great Wei and lose money and food, it will be a good thing for Great Wei, at worst, His Majesty will make a trip to the capital of Great Wei and personally apologise to the Empress.”
“We are all of the same clan and tribe, even if Great Wei kills and surrenders, it is still the foreigners who are killed, so I guarantee that Great Wei is willing to accept our surrender.”
“Moreover, I have a way to make Great Wei grant benefits to Tang, and the three demands made before can be slightly modified.”
“In that case, we also have a choice, if Great Wei sings all the way, we will waive our demands and consider it as a good sense to make amends, and Great Wei will not take it into account.”
“If Great Wei loses the battle and returns, we will then demand our possessions, and that is something that is not wrong.”
“Your Majesty, what do you think?”
Xu Mao said what he thought.
The meaning was simple, just saying, now we are evenly matched, although I have no food, but I am now defending the whole capital, you have trouble even if you want to fight in.
How about this, I will surrender and do my best to help you, but you have to promise me a few conditions, which of course are certainly within your reach, to ensure that you only make a profit and not a loss.
After all, I, Tang, have surrendered.
If Great Wei sings all the way, I don’t want these conditions, will I shut up?
If Great Wei loses the war and returns, then I will call your illness your life, and Tang cannot lose anyway.
This was Xu Mao’s plan.
Indeed, when this plan appeared, the hundred officials nodded their heads and praised it as a good plan.
The King of Tang also showed his joy, but immediately he could not help but frown and said.
“At this juncture, still offering terms to Great Wei, aren’t you afraid of angering Great Wei?”
The Tang King asked.
“No!”
“Your Majesty, if we don’t ask for something, instead they will get suspicious.”
“Your Majesty, think about it, the outer city was there because of the foreigners, now the inner city is free of foreigners and the gates are guarded by the royal sons, is it hard to believe that the royal sons will betray you?”
“So, for the Great Wei Qilin army to attack in would be no less than ascending to heaven, at the very least there would be no problem in holding on for a month, and King Si Long would do everything he could to come to our aid.”
“For Great Wei, they are the whole war situation, they are facing a hundred countries, not us, a Tang country, how to choose, I believe they know in their hearts.”
Xu Mao said with unparalleled confidence.
And his confidence was built with the fact that the Great Wei Qilin Army could not attack the city.
At this moment, the Tang King pondered.
After hesitating for a moment, King Tang took a deep breath and looked at Xu Mao and said.
“Good! Let it be as you wish, Aiqing Xu, you will be the messenger and go to negotiate with the Great Wei Qilin Army.”
“If you can do so, my king, confer a title on you.”
With a big wave of his hand, King Tang promised the title.
In an instant, Xu Mao was excited, he bowed towards the Tang King, then without saying a word, he took a few of his civil servants and went straight ahead to find the Qilin Army.
About three quarters of an hour later.
Xu Mao arrived under the outer city gates at great speed in a carriage.
“An envoy from Tang, Xu Mao! He has come to see the Marquis of Sheyang of Great Wei!”
As Xu Mao’s voice rang out.
Soon, someone went forward to report.
Not long after, an army appeared and brought Xu Mao directly into the city.
Tang Foreign City.
The Military Office.
The Marquis of Sheyang sat on the tai shi chair, flanked by generals, his gaze high at this moment.
A very familiar image.
Here comes Xu Mao again.
It was still an emissary from Tang.
Only, even so, Xu Mao was still towering over them, his eyes full of arrogance.
“My humble servant, Xu Mao, Minister of Rites of the Tang Kingdom, see Marquis of Sheyang.”
Xu Mao bowed towards the Marquis of Sheyang.
“Release!”
The Marquis of Sheyang had contempt in his eyes as he slowly spat out one word.
For a moment Xu Mao froze.
Release? What does release mean?
His eyes were puzzled as he looked at the Marquis of Shooting Sun.
“I told you to let go if you have a fart, what are you still standing there for?”
The general at the side roared loudly.
With a single word, Xu Mao’s face turned red.
He is the Minister of Rites, a scholar, and to speak like this is simply vulgar and degrading.
But Xu Mao also knew that the Great Wei Kirin Army was not what it used to be.
At the beginning, Tang had no fear of the Great Wei Qilin Army.
But now.
The Great Wei Qilin Army had taken over the outer city and was naturally emboldened.
So Xu Mao held back.
He looked at Marquis Sheyang and took a deep breath and said.
“Marquis, the King of Tang is willing to surrender and does not wish to start another war. This time, we have all fallen for the treacherous schemes of the foreigners, so much so that we have killed each other.”
“Now the King of Tang has come to his senses and regrets, so he has sent his officials to surrender, and hopes that the Marquis will accept.”
Xu Mao said this.
He said the reason for his visit.
“Oh? Surrender?”
“The King of Tang actually wants to surrender? Tsk, did I hear you right?”
The Marquis of Sheyang spoke blandly, humiliating the other party.
Only Xu Mao was not the least bit annoyed, but looked to Marquis of Sheyang and said.
“Marquis, Tang’s troops are still there and are a powerful force, and this time, Great Wei will naturally need a large number of troops to pacify the rebellion, as well as the support of all countries.”
“In terms of the bigger picture, Tang is the stronger capital of Great Wei, and geographically, it is also excellent, it can enter to attack and retreat to defend, if Tang surrendered, it would be like a tiger adding wings to Great Wei.”
“The previous feud, and the King of Tang has also said that he will personally go to Great Wei and beg forgiveness from Her Majesty the Empress.”
“But if this is a stalemate, my humble servant is not a threat, the Qilin army will not be able to break the capital of Tang in half a month, if they want to.”
“I hope that the Marquis, for the sake of the people of the world, for the sake of the 900,000 Qilin army, and for the sake of the people of Tang, will make peace!”
Xu Mao said slowly, still praising the Tang Kingdom, while still standing on the moral high ground, advising Marquis Sheyang to think about the Qilin Army ah.
But it was better not to say this.
Once he said it, the Marquis of Sheyang couldn’t help but rebuke loudly and angrily.
“Dogs!”
“If you don’t surrender sooner, you won’t surrender later. The Kirin Army has already lost more than 50,000 men in battle and 80,000 men have been seriously injured.
“What did you do earlier?”
The Marquis of Sheyang shouted angrily.
Xu Mao lowered his head and bowed towards Marquis Sheyang.
“Marquis don’t be angry, everything was provoked by someone, I hope Marquis will understand.”
“I hope that Marquis will also understand the big picture and not be impulsive.”
These words of Xu Mao were so angry that one wanted to laugh.
After so many of his own people had been killed, the city had been attacked for so long, so many people had died, Tang had been arrogant and suppressed the Qi Lin army’s momentum, and now it was actually the Marquis of Sheyang being impulsive?
Good, good, good, really a reader’s mouth, no reason is justified.
“That’s fine, surrender is fine, let the Tang king kneel in front of my marquis and open the gates of the Tang kingdom, my marquis is willing to accept the surrender.”
The Marquis of Sheyang spoke.
Surrender, right?
I accept.
Let Tang kneel over and talk, then open the gates of Tang, it is still negotiable.
Only when this was said, Xu Mao laughed and he shook.
“Marquis is joking.”
“This surrender of Tang is not a surrender without war, but a surrender for the sake of peace in the world.”
“Tang fears Great Wei, but has no fear of the Kirin Army, and with the current situation, the Great Wei Kirin Army needs Tang even more, so we are not surrendering in defeat.”
“Rather, we are surrendering peacefully.”
“Therefore, the Tang Kingdom has three conditions, if the Marquis agrees, the Tang Kingdom is willing to surrender, if not, then forget it.”
Xu Mao said so.
But when this was said, all the generals in the military office froze.
Was this guy stupid?
Surrendering just like that? How can you surrender like this?
A surrender with conditions?
Brother, we’ve already taken your outer city.
Can’t you make sense of the situation?
All the generals were so angry that they had nothing to say.
And the Marquis of Sheyang was almost laughing.
Was this Xu Mao suffering from a brain disease?
How could he say something as if he had no brain?
But the Marquis of Sheyang did not get angry, but looked at Xu Mao and said.
“What are the three conditions?”
Xu Mao took a deep breath and said without any trace of weakness.
“One, return the outer city to Tang!”
“Second, sign a non-aggression contract for a hundred years to guarantee the safety of the Tang Kingdom.”
“Thirdly, the Tang Kingdom will give all its troops to support the Great Wei, but it is up to the king to decide, and the Great Wei will also need to subsidise the Tang Kingdom with silver, but of course this can wait until after the war.”
Xu Mao stated these three conditions.
Compared to the previous conditions, these three conditions were nothing, and even said that if Tang had offered these three conditions at the beginning, Great Wei might have agreed to them directly.
Only in the face of these three conditions.
The Marquis of Sheyang laughed.
He laughed out loud.
The rest of the generals were silent.
Xu Mao was a little disturbed by the laughter and could not help but ask.
“Why is the Marquis laughing?”
At these words, Marquis Sheyang stood up and looked at Xu Mao and said icily.
“This Marquis laughs at your witlessness, even if you don’t know when you’re dying, how dare you make such an offer?”
“This Marquis laughs at the Tang King’s stupidity, sending people like you to die, it is really ridiculous.”
“This Marquis laughs at the fact that you, with your brain disease, can still become the Minister of Rites of the Tang Kingdom, do you think it is ridiculous?”
The Marquis of Sheyang’s voice was icy cold.
Xu Mao was a little dazed by the scolding.
Only Xu Mao keenly noticed the phrase, sending someone like you to die?
In an instant, Xu Mao could not help but say angrily.
“Marquis, even if you don’t agree, there is nothing for my subordinate to say.”
“But when two countries deal with each other, they do not behead their amba*sadors. If you behead me, there is no way that Tang can negotiate peace.”
“Although the Qilin army is brave, there is no way that the Qilin army will be able to open the gates of the Tang Kingdom in fifteen days.”
“Marquis of Sheyang, think twice!”
Xu Mao shouted sternly.
But the next moment, the Marquis of Sheyang drew his long sword and his kingly aura directly overpowered Xu Mao, causing him to kneel on the ground, unable to move.
“Foolish!”
“This Marquis laughs at your stupidity.”
“At the beginning, you also said that the Marquis of Tang Foreign City could not be broken by this Marquis.”
“But what about now?”
Marquis Sheyang stepped on Xu Mao’s shoulder and said in a cold voice.
“That was because the foreigners betrayed us, otherwise, the Great Wei Qilin Army would not have been able to attack.”
Xu Mao roared loudly.
“The same ploy, why can’t this Marquis use it twice?”
Marquis Sheyang said murderously.
“Impossible, all the foreigners have been driven out.”
“The one guarding the city gates is the imperial son.”
“The royal son of Tang!”
Xu Mao said seriously.
Just as he said this, he suddenly froze.
His pupils instantly dilated.
“No!”
“Impossible!”
“This is absolutely impossible!”
He shouted frantically while the Marquis of Shuyang held his battle sword in his hand and was about to swing it down.
At this moment, Xu Mao felt this killing machine, this incomparably terrifying killing machine.
“No!”
“You can’t kill me, you can’t kill the messenger, you can’t kill the messenger.”
“If word gets out, Great Wei will be reviled by the world.”
“Marquis of Sheyang, Marquis of Sheyang, Marquis, Marquis, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I don’t dare.”
“Marquis, I was wrong, please let me go and let me go.”
Xu Mao struggled particularly hard at first, shouting frantically that he could not kill the incoming envoy.
But when the killing machine locked in.
He completely P*ssed himself in fear, his mind going blank in the middle of his head as he frantically begged for mercy.
Poof.
When the battle sword fell, Xu Mao’s eyes stared huge.
He couldn’t even believe it.
The Marquis of Sheyang would behead the incoming envoy.
And at this moment, the only thought in his mind was.
Why did he have nothing better to do than to come and trouble the Marquis of Sheyang?
Poof!
The messengers who had followed him over fell to their knees and began to cry out loudly, begging the Marquis of Sheyang not to kill them.
Xu Mao was dead.
The Marquis of Sheyang was comfortable.
He swept a glance at the group of people, not caring at all.
“Take them to the city gate, behead them, and then take their heads and send them to Tang so they can see for themselves!”
The Marquis of Shuyang left these words and left straight away.
And so it was.
Two quarters of an hour later.
The heads of Xu Mao and the others were nailed with arrows, directly above the city gate, with a note on top.
The note read simply.
When two countries come and go, no envoys will be killed.
Tang has been destroyed, there are no coming amba*sadors.
Half a quarter of an hour later, inside the palace, the Tang King’s roar rang out.
The Great Wei Dynasty, no longer treating them as human beings.
For a full little half an hour.
The Tang King cursed for a full little half an hour.
It was a great shame to behead an envoy.
No, it was a great disgrace to the heavens.
Eventually, the Tang King roared.
“All troops listen to the order, defend the country’s gate to the death!”
This was the Tang King’s military order.
Kill my people, right?
Then I will defend the gates to the death!
I have driven the foreigners away, so what other schemes do you have, come on.
But less than a quarter of an hour after the order was given.
A voice rang out.
“Report! The Tenth Prince has collaborated with the enemy! Open the gates of the kingdom, 200,000 foreigners are the vanguard and are rushing in, ask the king to give the order.”
As this voice rang out.
The Tang King froze in place.
“Ten! …… Ten …… The tenth prince collaborates with the enemy?”
The entire court was in an uproar.
And after the King of Tang heard this news again, his eyes could not help but go black.
The next moment, he vomited blood and fainted to death on the spot.
At once, the court was filled with despair.
The tenth prince had collaborated with the enemy.
Then what was the point of fighting.
The Tang Empire!
It was really over!
Xu Qingnian …… This battle seals the deal!
