Chapter 98: Invitation(1/2)

The fight lasted from night to dawn.

Standing at a high place under the sunlight, looking away, tragic and shocking.

The Zhongshan King's troops who had originally retreated from the camp have resumed their attacks - no one will give up resistance when others raise their swords and kill wildly.

Bodies piled up outside the city, with soldiers and people.

After passing the remains of the body, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp rushed to the city. In addition to flying arrows like rain on the city wall, the civilians threw woods and stones. Compared with the soldiers and horses guarded by battlements and shields, the civilians were as naked as they stood up and threw stones, and were shot to death by feather arrows outside the city.

But they had to stand up, because if they retreated, they would be shot to death by feather arrows in the city.

The bodies kept falling under the city.

"Your Majesty." A general rushed over, "The scouts reported, and the reinforcements of the King of Zhongshan came."

After saying that, the general looked at the child sitting in front of Xie Yanfang. The little emperor held a knife, but he was ignorant of the outside world, his eyes were blank and he didn't speak-

"Split the troops to fight." Xie Yanfang said, "This city must be taken down regardless of the price."

Xie Yanfang's words were His Majesty's words, the imperial edict, and the general responded, and was about to let the war drums divide their troops, but the horn of withdrawing the troops came from a distance.

The ground was pedaling, reinforcements running from afar, and reinforcements blew the horn of withdrawal.

At the same time, a horn of retreat was also sounded in the city.

The general was stunned. This was the same again? He couldn't help but look at Xie Yanfang.

Xie Yanfang seemed to have not heard it and said, "Attack."

This time, not only did he give an order, he also urged the horse and the emperor to move forward.

"Your Majesty, go with me to attack the city yourself, and your Majesty will take down Xiao Xun with you."

The general was busy following, but the next moment, another horn came. This time, it was not about withdrawing troops, but about removing armor.

Remove armor.

This is not just retreating, but surrendering.

In fact, surrendered?

With the sound of the horn, the sound of soldiers on the city wall throwing down their weapons and armor and landing clearly came into their ears.

This - if you surrender, you can't beat the drums and kill them anymore.

As soon as the general was stunned, Xie Yanfang looked at the soldiers and horses that were close to him and held the reins tightly.

As the horn sounded and shouted.

"Your Majesty - Your Majesty - The Prince of Zhongshan is rebellious and causes a big disaster-"

"Your Majesty——The King of Zhongshan teaches his son without any reason. He removes the crown and untied the robe and crys blood and apologizes for his crimes. Please atone for His Majesty——"

......

......

The sky was bright, the spring was in full swing, and the streets were bustling, but there was no joy in the spring of previous years. There were even many people walking with their families and their mouths and their faces were sad, and even more beggars were growing.

"It's all escaped."

"The prince of Zhongshan and the Beijing soldiers fought, and the city and villages were turned into ashes, which was so miserable."

"God, are you going to fight to the capital?"

This made the people in the restaurant and tea shops unable to sit still, but someone soon conveyed new news.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty went there in person. The Zhongshan King's Army was repelled twice and could not conceal it."

"Why did I hear that the situation seems to be not good? The King of Zhongshan takes retreat as his advance and lets His Majesty get into the trap?"

"You really underestimate Mr. Xie. Will Mr. Xie be fooled easily?"

"I don't underestimate Lord Xie, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses are hidden in the King of Zhongshan-"

During the quarrels, the soldiers galloped on the street, and the people were the postmen, and the people were automatically avoiding each other. The people in the restaurants and tea shops also leaned over to see them, nervous and anxious, and looking forward to them - is this good news?

This time, the post soldiers did not make the people speculate. They held up the letter in their hands and shouted, "The Queen's Victory - the King of Zhongshan handed over the apology and handed over the king's seal--"

There was a silence on the street, and then there was a bang. The King of Zhongshan pleaded guilty! He would not fight again!

Some people tugged their hands, some people laughed, and some people cried.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Mr. Xie's move is indeed amazing. When His Majesty arrives in front of the formation, it is unstoppable."

"Although Your Majesty is young, the power of the dragon cannot be ignored, and the late emperor can rest in peace."

But in the joy and chaos, some people came to their senses and thought of what they said just now-

"No, it seems to be said that the Queen's victory?"

Queen.

Previously, a group of women in the city praised the queen for her bravery every day, and the voice was not lowered until Chu Lan's family ran away.

But when Chu Lan was criticized in the restaurant and tea shop, when it involved the queen - there was no way. Chu Lan was the queen's uncle after all, how could the family be separated? There were still a few girls rushing out and saying, "You wait, this is definitely not the case."

At that time, it seemed that "the queen led her troops from the border counties to besiege Zhongshan County, and she would definitely pacify the chaos of the Zhongshan King."

Everyone didn't take it seriously, and some people laughed at me, "The queen should guard the border county and talk about other things."

Then Lord Xie took the emperor to fight in person, and no one mentioned the queen.

Unexpectedly—

Could it be that the queen conquered Zhongshan County and asked the King of Zhongshan to confess his guilt?

.........

......

The officials in front of the formation knelt down one after another. They reported their names, all of whom were the officials of Zhongshan County. The soldiers and generals behind them also took off their armor and knelt on the ground, raising the crown and robe in their hands.

But Xie Yanfang didn't say a word, and the Beijing soldiers stood in secret and blocked them.

These officials had no choice but to repeatedly apologize and pay tribute to His Majesty.

The atmosphere gradually became solemn. The kneeling generals looked at each other with solemn eyes, and their hands placed on the ground were touching their sides.

They had stopped fighting and retreated, but they were still chasing and attacking. Now they have disarmed and confessed their guilt. If they still want to kill, they will not really surrender.

In the anxiety, another general rushed over in the distance.

"This is the apology of the King of Zhongshan." He held the scroll in his hand and said loudly, "The Queen has reviewed it, please check it out."

Queen! The general was stunned. Before he could come back to his senses, a child shouted beside him.

"Sister Chu!"

"It's Sister Chu!"

The general turned his head and saw the originally dull little emperor coming back to his soul in an instant.

The emperor also raised his hand and pointed at the general and shouted loudly: "I know you, you are Captain Bai!"

There are not many people around Sister Chu, but he keeps each one in his heart.

Xiao Yu threw down the long knife in his hand, grabbed the reins, and did not ask Xie Yanfang. He eagerly urged the horse, and the horse neighed and rushed forward.

The general ordered the military formation to move aside without hesitation.

Xie Yanfang didn't say anything anymore, put away the long knife in his hand, and only Xiao Yu's voice echoed in his ears.

"Person Bai, was it Sister Chu who defeated the King of Zhongshan?"

"Personnel Bai, did Sister Chu ask you to come?"

"Where is Sister Chu now?"

"Sister Chu, are she injured?"

"Is she okay?"

......

......

Xiao Xun walked out of the hall. He didn't want to show weakness, but his vision was still a little stagnant for a moment, as if he had been locked up in the dark underground for the rest of his life, and suddenly he saw the world outside and was not used to it.

He has not been imprisoned for the rest of his life, nor has he been dark, he has just been defeated for a while, not for a lifetime!

"Where is Chu Zhao?" Xiao Xun raised his eyes and asked.

There were many people standing in the yard of the government office, just as he felt in the hall, but the atmosphere was different.

The generals and officials were no longer angry, the soldiers were not angry, and their expressions were all at a loss. It seemed that they had been locked up for a long time and did not know the world.

Hearing the words Chu Zhao, another group of people came over in the yard, and a girl was the leader.

"Can you call the queen's name directly?" she snorted.

Xiao Xun looked at her. He had never seen this girl before, but he seemed to be familiar with it. Perhaps because he could see Chu Zhao's appearance on her face.
To be continued...
