Li Hong was not threatened by Tang Yin, but laughed wildly and said: "How can I, my dear fellow, be afraid of these pigs and dogs like you?"
Tang Yin walked into him, leaned close to him, and whispered: "Brother Wang, you can not care about the life and death of the people in Xitang City, how can you not even care about your own children, grandchildren, wives and daughters?"
These words made Li Hong's expression change, and Tang Yin continued in his ear: "You should also be able to tell that although Li Dan is disrespectful to you, from the bottom of his heart, he still respects your father very much.
, he is even willing to plead guilty to the emperor on your behalf and accept the emperor's punishment for you. Such loyalty and filial piety is really admirable! With such a loyal and filial son, can you really bear to let him do this?
Your burial object?"
Even though Li Hong hated Li Dan so much that his teeth itched, but it was a hatred for him for not fighting and for not being strong. Now when he heard that Tang Yin said that he would also kill Li Dan, the old man's eyes turned red and he yelled: "How dare you
?”
As he spoke, he grabbed Tang Yin's collar.
Tang Yin turned a blind eye to his irritation and let him grab his collar. He said with a faint smile: "There is nothing I dare not do. What's more, besides me, there are Chuan, Mo, An, Huan, and Yuwu."
King, after the war is over, do you think they will be able to accommodate Young Master Li Dan? However, if I protect him, it will be enough to ensure that Young Master Li Dan is safe and sound. If I ignore him, Young Master will die at any time.
Come on, when the time comes, Brother Wang will also have no descendants and no successors, and the Li family will be destroyed from now on! Brother Wang will not care about future generations, right?"
Looking at Tang Yin, who was smiling but as ruthless as a snake and a scorpion, Li Hong wanted to eat his flesh and gnaw his bones, but he couldn't do it and didn't dare to do it.
The hand holding Tang Yin's collar slowly loosened, and then, as if his strength had been drained, the old man sat down on the ground with the lower half of his body, unable to recover for a long time.
Yes, now he can grit his teeth and refuse to order the entire army to surrender, but this is meaningless. If he just falls into Li Dan's hands, he has a tough attitude, and Li Dan doesn't dare to do anything to him. Minister
They will not be held hostage by Li Dan, but now that Tang Yin is here, as long as Tang Yin pulls him outside the young master's house and puts a knife to his neck, then who else dares not to listen to Tang Yin's words? By Shixi Tang
There will be chaos, the city defense will collapse without attack, and the situation will become even worse.
It can be said that Li Hong has no other choice now but to do what Tang Yin wants. He paused for a long time, slowly raised his head, looked at Tang Yin, and asked: "If I am willing to order the entire army to surrender, will you let me go?"
Live with me?"
Tang Yin shrugged and said, "Of course! I will ensure that they are safe and sound."
Li Hong took another deep look at him, then took a deep breath and returned his gaze to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He tremblingly picked up the papers and pens scattered on the floor one by one, spread them on the table, and then picked up the pen.
Come, but never fall.
He knew very well that once he surrendered, it would be a disaster for Zhenguo, but if he did not surrender, the result might be even more tragic. Li Hong, who was over fifty, seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden, his face lost its luster and became dull.
A layer of dead ashes rises.
Seeing that Li Hong had not started writing, Tang Yin on the side was quite impatient. He asked coldly: "Brother Wang, what are you waiting for? This is Brother Wang's last chance. If the coalition forces break the city later, Brother Wang will bargain with me."
All the qualifications are gone.”
Li Hong murmured and asked: "The Feng Kingdom sent troops to attack our Zhen Kingdom, just to avenge the Zhen Kingdom's attack on the wind?"
Of course not! As long as Zhenguo is there, there will always be a powerful and terrifying enemy to the south of Fengguo. Zhenguo can be said to be Fengguo’s thorn in the side, and Tang Yin will naturally not let go of any opportunity to destroy Zhenguo.
He did not answer, but asked with a smile: "Is this important?"
Li Hong let out a long sigh, calmed down, and wrote a letter of surrender on the paper.
He can be regarded as a courageous person. In the letter of surrender, Li Hong took all the faults on himself, indicating that all the disputes were caused by him and had nothing to do with Zhenguo. He was also willing to pay the corresponding price for this.
, be punished accordingly.
After he finished writing the letter of surrender, Li Hong read it roughly, then turned away and handed the letter of surrender to Tang Yin. The latter did not accept it, but said with a smile: "Brother Wang seems to have omitted a few things."
"What?" Li Hong glared at him.
"If it is not stamped with a jade seal, who will know whether this letter of surrender was actually written by Brother Wang?" Tang Yin reminded slowly.
Li Hong gritted his teeth, and finally took out King Zhen's seal from his sleeve and stamped it on the surrender letter.
As soon as he finished stamping the seal, Tang Yin reached out to take away the book of surrender, held it in his palm, read it from beginning to end, and then walked out of the side room without saying anything more.
"Tang Yin, don't forget your loyalty to me. If you dare to break your promise, I will not let you go even if you are a ghost."
"Haha" Tang Yin looked up and smiled, shrugging as he walked out: "If I'm not afraid of you as a human being, how can I be afraid of you as a ghost?" As he spoke, he walked out without looking back.
Watching Tang Yin's back disappear outside the door, Li Hong collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball, his face pale and sweating like rain.
When Tang Yin returned to the lobby, Li Dan and others, who had been waiting impatiently, gathered around and asked: "How was the discussion between His Royal Highness the Wind King and my father (the King)?"
Smiling at everyone, Tang Yin handed Li Dan the letter of surrender written by Li Hong and said: "King Zhen has agreed to surrender. This is the letter of surrender written by King Zhen himself!"
Ah? Although everyone had expected such a result, when they heard Tang Yin say it himself, they still couldn't help but take a deep breath, and their eyes were all focused on the surrender letter in Li Dan's hand.
Li Dan's hands were trembling, and he looked down at the letter of surrender written by his father, with all kinds of emotions in his heart.
He understood his father's temper, and asking his father to surrender would be more difficult for him to accept than killing him. But now, his father has written a letter of surrender. From every word in the letter of surrender, he can't tell that his father's intention is
Helplessness and pain.
The other ministers and generals of the Zhen Kingdom also had complicated emotions. The surrender of the whole country was undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation for the Zhen Kingdom, which had always been tough in style. As a Zhen people, it was really shameless, but fortunately, the war
It was finally over, and they finally did not become victims of this absurd war.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise!" A minister of Zhenguo, with tears in his eyes, knelt down on the ground with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly towards the side room. As soon as he knelt down and knelt down, other ministers and generals also knelt down, and during the kowtow, they all shed tears.
Full face.
Soon, Li Hong's letter of surrender was passed from the Young Master's Mansion to outside the mansion. The Zhenguo ministers and soldiers gathered outside read the letter of surrender, and the place immediately fell into silence. After a short time, there was a crowd outside the Young Master's Mansion.
There was a loud cry.
Many Zhenguo soldiers involuntarily threw away their weapons, with blank faces on their faces, and stood there motionless. For them, this sudden surrender was too shocking and too confusing.
measures.
Li Hong personally wrote that the news of the nation's surrender spread rapidly in Xitang City as if it had wings. Not only the people in the city heard about it, but the news also reached the ears of the defenders in the four cities.
Hundreds of thousands of Zhenguo Central Army fought bloody battles with the coalition forces outside the city. They would rather die than retreat even half a step. No matter how ferocious and frequent the coalition's attacks were, they were never able to capture the city. However, as they fought desperately to survive,
When they were fighting against the enemy, the king in the rear ordered the whole country to surrender. What was the point of fighting here now?
Li Hong's letter of surrender was as much a blow to the Zhenjun soldiers as an atomic bomb. People's morale immediately hit rock bottom and collapsed instantly. Groups of soldiers gave up resistance and poured down the city wall like a tide, fleeing into the city.
.
However, many Zhen generals refused to give up and were still trying their best to stabilize their own chaotic situation. At this time, the four most important ministers of the Zhen Kingdom, the generals, the left and right prime ministers, and the imperial censor rushed to the four cities respectively to formally report to the four cities.
The defenders of the four cities read Li Hong's decree, and the entire army immediately gave up resistance, opened the city gates, welcomed the coalition forces into the city, and surrendered to the coalition forces.
As the letter of surrender was officially conveyed to the four cities, the defenders also fell into despair. The shouts of killing outside the city were still there, but on the city wall, there was an eerie silence. The Zhen soldiers held the spears and spears in their hands.
, slowly slid to the ground and burst into tears.
Zhen Kingdom has experienced so many wars and storms for thousands of years, but this is the first time that the whole country has surrendered. The unspeakable sense of shame is imprinted on the hearts of every Zhen people.
However, as the monarch, Li Hong had personally given the order. No matter how unwilling or unconvinced the Zhen army officers and soldiers were, it would not help.
Not long after, white flags were erected on the tops of the four cities of Xitang. At the same time, the suspension bridge was lowered, the city gates were opened wide, and the Zhenjun soldiers led by the four city lords walked out of the city gates with bare hands.
The sudden surrender of the Zhen army also shocked the coalition forces outside the city. Lingshuang, Yueze and Li Xin immediately realized after a brief shock that Tang Yin's move of sneaking into the palace of Zhen King must have had a miraculous effect, and it may even have been possible.
Li Hong was captured, so Zhenjun was forced to surrender.
The three kings were overjoyed and ordered the entire army to enter the city almost simultaneously, and temporarily imprisoned the surrendered Zhenjun soldiers in their own coalition camp.
There were no less than 300,000 defenders in Xitang City. Fortunately, the area of the coalition camp was large enough to easily accommodate the surrendered Zhenjun soldiers.
Just as the four armies of Yu, An, Huan, and Zhen were accepting the troops surrendered by the Zhen Kingdom, the Feng Army rushed into Xitang as quickly as possible and went straight to the palace of the King of Zhen without going anywhere else.
After arriving, the Feng army spread out and surrounded the palace on three floors inside and three floors outside, making it watertight and firmly controlling it.
The palace of Zhenguo houses a large amount of Zhenguo's treasures, and most of the important people such as the king and relatives of Zhenguo are also in the palace. Of course, Feng Jun must seize this opportunity.
By the time Lingshuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin reacted, it was already too late when they sent their own troops to take over the palace. The Feng army surrounded the palace into an iron barrel array and refused to give way. No one in the palace could get out.
