On the city wall, Zhao Lei couldn't help frowning after hearing Zhao's words, and wanted to curse people impulsively.

You said so well-soundingly, but after all, it’s not for your own life. Have you ever considered us?

If we surrender, we will be dead.

By then, everyone in the Zhao family would have to die, and now they have at least protected the father and son.

Zhao Lei pursed his lips and said nothing. When the Empress Dowager below saw that Zhao Lei did not speak, she thought that Zhao Lei had listened to her words and persuaded her even more.

"Zhao Lei, go and persuade your father to surrender. You can't be a traitor and harm everyone in the Zhao family. Your mother, your wife and children are all in prison now. Do you want to watch them die?"

Zhao Lei sneered on the city wall, saying that he could not even care about others, and he would die if he died.

He was not close to his wife and the children he gave birth to. He married another fair wife at Long Customs. He did not lack his wife and children.

Of course, Zhao Lei would not tell the Empress Dowager about these things, but as he saw the Empress Dowager talked more and more powerfully.

He couldn't say nothing, so Zhao Lei shouted under the city wall with a calm face: "Please go back, Empress Dowager."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing that he ignored him, the Empress Dowager turned around and returned to Xiao Wenyu.

"Your Majesty, they don't listen to the Ai family, and the Ai family has no choice."

Xiao Wenyu looked at her with a smile and said slowly: "They don't listen, and the Empress Dowager will persuade her under the city wall until she persuades them to surrender. I am not in a hurry."

As a result, this persuasion lasted for three days, and every day the Empress Dowager went outside Dingcheng to persuade him to surrender.

Xiao Wenyu did not issue an order to attack Dingcheng, but only asked the Empress Dowager to persuade the surrender on the wall.

On the walls of Dingcheng, the Zhao family army did not dare to shoot arrows at will, and the two armies were twisted like this for a moment.

Xiao Wenyu was not in a hurry. They did not lack food and grass, food and drink. In addition, they marched for several days, so they could just rest for a few days, but the Zhao family army in the city became irritated.

Originally, they were rebels, and they were in a thief, and they were in decline, and they were exhausted. This would only kill them, and the people in the city had a faint sense of resistance.

Although Duke Zhao seized three cities, in fact, the people in the city were only forced by his tyranny and dared not criticize and resist. However, the people themselves did not agree with them. They called him Zhao thief in private, and said that evil would not suppress the righteousness and would die, and that they would definitely not have a good ending in the end.

Although these people dare not say it openly, the private muttering still vaguely spread to the army. Many of the soldiers in the army did not react before and followed Duke Zhao all the way back. Now if you think about it carefully, many people regret it. They are just small soldiers. Even if they follow Duke Zhao, what are the benefits for them?

Their family has parents and children, but now they have become traitors who have treason.

But now they have become traitors and there is nothing they can do if they look back.

For a time, the morale of the Zhao family army was greatly damaged, and the entire Dingcheng was shrouded in defeat.

Zhao Lei was worried and immediately summoned a group of people under Duke Zhao to discuss the matter.

"Father, what should I do now? Xiao Wenyu, the little thief, did not let someone attack the city, but asked the Empress Dowager to persuade the surrender in front of the formation. This has been persuading for three days. If this continues, I am afraid that our army's morale will be disintegrated."

Duke Zhao looked at several subordinates in the lower head and asked in a deep voice: "What should I do now?"

The next leader of the leader quickly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is inevitable to get rid of the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager is allowed to continue, I am afraid that our army's morale will be dissipated."

After hearing this man's words, Zhao Lei nodded immediately in agreement: "My son agrees with Lord Cao's words."

Duke Zhao frowned. It was his sister, but it was not a solution to ask her sister to persuade her to surrender in front of the situation.

Zhao Lei looked at Lord Cao on the side and said, "What do you think Lord Cao will do?"

Lord Cao thought for a while and said, "It's better to have someone shoot the Empress Dowager."

After hearing Lord Cao's words, Duke Zhao immediately spoke in disagreement: "If I shoot the Empress Dowager, wouldn't I beg me to insult me?"

Lord Cao was choked by Duke Zhao's words and wanted to ask this person, do you still have the reputation now? People outside call you a traitor, are you still worried about your reputation? Do you still have a reputation?

However, Lord Cao didn't dare to say that this person has now been called emperor, so how dare he talk nonsense anymore?

Lord Cao thought while speaking: "Your Majesty, we can create an uninformed truth, let our subordinates shoot and kill the Empress Dowager, and then pretend not to know and severely punish those subordinates."

It's just to add some fig leaf to yourself.

People outside may not believe that they don’t know.

But what can Lord Cao do? Now he is a member of the Zhao family and his son on the ship, so he can only follow them.

Before, the Zhao family sent people to sneak into the capital to assassinate His Majesty. They thought they would definitely succeed, but they failed. Later, he could only follow the Zhao family and his son to rebel.

If he did not rebel, the Zhao family and his son would definitely kill him. In order to save his life, he had no choice but to respond.

As soon as Lord Cao's words fell, Zhao Lei first agreed: "Father, this method is feasible. If the Empress Dowager kept asking the Empress Dowager to persuade him to surrender in front of the formation, our army's morale would be lost."

They didn't feel much about what the Empress Dowager said, but the soldiers guarding the city were deeply moved.

This is not a solution.

After the head of the army, Duke Zhao finally agreed: "It's correct."

That night, the Empress Dowager was shot and killed. On the city wall, Zhao Lei rushed up and scolded the subordinates of the Empress Dowager, as if they were unaware of it.

Outside the city wall, Xiao Wenyu ordered to attack the city.

He had been waiting for Zhao to shoot the Empress Dowager, which made the reputation of Duke Zhao and his son worse. Secondly, he used Duke Zhao and his son to kill the old witch, the Empress Dowager.

His father died because of this woman, how could he allow her to live? But if he killed the Empress Dowager, he would be criticized. No matter what, the Empress Dowager is an elder, and it was not his turn to kill him. But now that the father and son of the Zhao family shot and killed the Empress Dowager, the reputation fell on the father and son of the Zhao family.

"Feng Yao obeyed the order and led 30,000 troops to attack the East City Gate."

"yes."

"Xiao Wenjia led 30,000 troops to attack the South City Gate."

"Yes, your Majesty."

General Feng and Xiao Wenjia took the order to lead the army to attack Dingcheng.

The fighting continued that night. The Empress Dowager had already surrendered in front of the formation, but the morale of the army was dispersed. He was attacked by the army. Dingcheng was only defended for one night and was captured. Duke Zhao and his son led their troops to retreat to Sucheng.

Originally, he captured three formation cities, but lost a formation pool in the blink of an eye. Duke Zhao and his son were so angry that they died. At the same time, they also became alert to Xiao Wenyu and the troops he brought.

The atmosphere in Sucheng lobby was indescribable, and Duke Zhao, the head of the head, said nothing.

Although he didn't say that, his sharp eyes swept across the faces of the people from time to time. He could see that the people under his command were now fluctuating and they all had the intention to retreat. If there was no way out now, these people would have turned against each other at the first time.
