Lin Feng stood up on his horse and looked at Qu Yan on the tower. He did not interrupt, but nodded to Qu Yong, indicating that Qu Yong would face it on his own.
Qu Yong used to be respectful and fearful of Qu Yan.
He has ideas but dare not say them.
Now that he has surrendered to the Qin Dynasty and betrayed the Gaochang Kingdom, he no longer has any scruples.
Qu Yong clenched his fists and said loudly: "Father, you said that I voluntarily surrendered. Indeed, as the son of the leader of Gaochang, I betrayed Gaochang by voluntarily surrendering. However, can Gaochang resist? It can no longer be stopped. ”
"When the Qin Dynasty came to kill me, I was prepared to advance and retreat together with my father. If my father defended to the death, I would defend to the death and follow him to the death. My father wanted to live and die with Gaochang City, so I naturally wanted to live and die with Gaochang City. But my father stayed behind. But we, on our own, dispatched Brooke from my East Palace to protect Qu Guang and his son from Gaochang and go to the Kingdom of Qiuci to join my aunt."
"Why did Qu Guang leave?"
"I am the prince, and it is normal for me to stay and die."
"But I am the prince, the eldest son. I also have a son, who is my father's eldest grandson. To preserve the royal bloodline, we should arrange for someone to escort the eldest grandson away. Why is it Qu Guang and that witch?"
"He even dispatched the most powerful people in my East Palace to protect Qu Guang."
"Why do you do that?"
At this moment, Qu Yong was roaring hysterically.
His eyes were full of anger. He had never been favored by Qu Yan since he was a child. Because of Ma Yan's presence, his status as prince was stable. Otherwise, he might have been killed long ago.
Qu Yan's cheeks twitched. He originally scolded Qu Yong, which was a habitual action. Now that he heard Qu Yong's words, he was stunned for a moment. Is this really the case?
Is it because he has never balanced a bowl of water?
In the early years, Ma Yan had persuaded Qu Yan that since Qu Yong was appointed as the crown prince, he should cut off the thoughts of all other princes and not pamper Qu Guang. It's just that as a husband and father, Ko acted as a husband and was influenced by the pillow style of his beloved concubine, so he naturally had a preference.
Qu Yan was silent for a while, but then he became angry. Qu Yong, who had always been obedient, was so rebellious. He continued to scold: "You bastard, Qu Guang is favored by this king. But he is my son, can't he be favored?" Really? You are the prince of Gaochang, so you naturally have to take responsibility."
"Responsibility, what a joke?"
Qu Yong became even more angry and said loudly: "In the more than ten years since I became the crown prince of Gaochang, my father expressed his intention to depose me no less than three times. If the Prime Minister hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid my father would have been seduced by that witch. , destroy me."
"Without the Prime Minister, maybe my grave is covered with grass. It's a joke to talk about the responsibilities of the prince. As a father, have you fulfilled your responsibilities? Oh, you have fulfilled your responsibilities, but it was for Koji It’s just light.”
"You trust Ma Yan and are a wise king. However, you are not a loving father and you are not worthy."
He yelled and cursed every word and slapped Qu Yan in the face.
Qu Yan's face lost even more luster.
This is being skinned.
He was filled with hatred.
Qu Yan flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Niezi, you are truly a disgrace to my Qu family."
Qu Yong sneered and said: "Yes, I am the shame of the Qu family. I am not like Qu Guang who can eat, drink, whore and gamble, so naturally it is a shame. I am not like Qu Guang who can walk dogs and fight cocks. What is it if it is not a shame? Father, you are more He is a wise man, not a disgrace to the Qu family."
"The Qin army is approaching the city and there is no way to stop it. Since you are not a disgrace, then why don't you sacrifice yourself for the country and die?"
"Father, do you dare to die for your country?"
brush!
Qu Yan was even more furious.
Throughout his life, he has been working hard to make Gaochang Kingdom rise. Unexpectedly, he would be criticized by his own son.
Still in front of the two armies.
Qu Yong watched Qu Yan deflate, and his heart felt as happy as he had never felt before. As a prince, he has always lived a cowardly and cautious life. In Qu Yan's eyes, Qu Guang was talented, filial and loyal, and good at everything else. But he was treated harshly everywhere.
He, the prince, was just a symbol, of no use. He was fed up with the days of compromise.
Nowadays, it's pretty good.
Qu Yong raised his voice and said again: "Qu Yan, aren't you very confident? Aren't you very proud? Now are you showing your integrity?"
There was a lot of discussion on the towers of the imperial city.
The Forbidden Army soldiers, as well as the Gaochang soldiers in the city, were all talking, and their hearts were floating. There is no way, the Gaochang Kingdom is in trouble, and the Qin army has already killed them in the imperial city, how can they still fight?
Kang Changde stood aside in armor, sighing in his heart.
Gao Changguo is hopeless.
Kang Changde did not express his position for the time being and watched quietly.
Qu Yan was so angry that his breathing became rapid. He grabbed the city wall on the tower with his hands and said in a deep voice: "I am in the city. I want to see how you treacherous officials and traitors can break into the imperial city?"
Lin Feng took the words and said with a smile: "Qu Yan, speaking of which, this is the first time that I and you have met. The huge Gaochang City has been controlled by this governor. Although you occupy the imperial city, do you think you can resist it?"
"It's unstoppable."
"If I want to attack, I have the strength to directly break the imperial city. Even if I don't attack and surround the imperial city, I can trap you to death. There are thousands of elites in your imperial city. Thousands of people consume countless amounts of energy every day. food."
"How many days can it last in the imperial city?"
"Besides, if you, Qu Yan, want to resist, it's because if you die, everything will be gone. These soldiers in the army and the people in the imperial city still have their families and relatives. If they die, what will happen to their families? Even if you die, they can still surrender and continue to live."
"Do you think they will fight to the death?"
"You hide in the imperial city, so you don't have to worry about someone killing you when you sleep in the middle of the night."
Lin Feng's voice was neither fast nor slow, but it reached the tower clearly. The soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom were already panicked and had no fighting spirit. Now, after what Lin Feng said, countless people were panicking.
Many people have no desire to fight.
When Qu Yan saw this scene, he felt disappointed. The soldiers had lost their fighting spirit. How could they resist?
The most important thing is that there is no food supply.
The food in Gaochang City is all in the granary. As long as Gaochang City is not lost, the grain energy from the granary in the city will continue to be delivered. Now that they are retreating to the imperial city, without such food support, the army in the imperial city will starve in a day or two, and even mutiny.
Qu Yan subconsciously wanted to ask Ma Yan, but found that Ma Yan was gone.
Qu Yan's confidant was Ma Yan. He could ask Ma Yan on all major military and political matters and any difficult decisions. Now, Qu Yan can't find anyone to consult. Qu Yan was flustered and hesitant.
He has some wisdom, but in the current situation, it is impossible for a clever woman to make a building without rice and it is impossible to resist. He himself was not willing to die, so he sighed and ordered: "Send the order, open the city gate and surrender."
"Here!"
Kang Changde breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was unwilling to resist. Kang Changde was willing to give it a try if he could resist it, or if there was still a glimmer of hope.
Now, there is no hope at all.
Why resist?
Kang Changde gave the order, and not long after, the gate of the imperial city opened with a creak.
Lin Feng waved his hand, and the generals under Meng Ao quickly entered the city with their soldiers and took control of the key gates of the imperial city. At the same time, Qu Yan and Kang Changde also came out, and Qu Yan looked even more panicked.
Qu Yong said disdainfully: "My good father, don't you want to live and die with Gaochang? Why are you surrendering now?"
"Evil son."
Qu Yan was furious.
Qu Yong said: "Of course I am an evil son. Only your son, Qu Guang, is not an evil son. He is your good son."
At this time, Qu Yong completely let go.
Why should you suppress yourself?
Why should I be wronged?
He didn't care.
Qu Yong was dissatisfied, and all the suppression he had suffered over the years burst out. He is no longer the prince and has nothing to worry about, so there is nothing to be afraid of in front of Qu Yan.
Lin Feng looked responsible and said: "If you, father and son, want to speak, you can do so slowly. But now, who among you, father and son, will talk about the Gaochang Copper Mine?"
"I know."
Qu Yong was the first to report, and he said seriously: "Grand Governor, the newly discovered copper mine was actually discovered by me and the Prime Minister Ma Yan. This location is in a large mountain northwest of Gaochang City, and the road is not difficult. , but the distance is far and there are no roads built, so it is not easy to mine yet.”
Lin Feng said: "That's good, since you know, you can lead the way."
"Here!"
Qu Yong answered directly.
But he was happy in his heart. He was valuable, so he would definitely be alive next time.
Moreover, he also completely let go.
Damn Prince Gaochang.
He, the prince, has always been cowardly, suppressed, and targeted, which makes no sense.
Lin Feng said no more and asked people to take Qu Yan and Qu Yong down, while everyone else was put under control first. In less than half an hour, the imperial city was under Lin Feng's control. All the palace maids were sent away, and all the gold, silver and jewels in the imperial city were sealed.
Because it was a little late, Lin Feng asked Xun Peng and Meng Ao to set up camp.
The army camped outside the imperial city.
Lin Feng lived in the military camp and had never been to the imperial city. In the early morning, Meng Ao and Xun Peng came together.
The two of them were previously controlling Gaochang City.
This is a big deal.
Whether it is the imperial city, the entire Gaochang City, or the arsenal, money storehouse, granary, etc., all these aspects must be controlled. Only if the army controls these things will everything not go into chaos.
After Meng Ao and Xun Peng saluted, Meng Ao took the lead and said: "Grand Governor, Gaochang State is really rich. I didn't expect that a small country as big as a palm could be so wealthy."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Gaochang is located between Daqin and the countries in the Western Region. It is a key place for transit and transportation. In addition, Ma Yan has been running Gaochang for more than ten years and has worked hard to manage it, so it is normal for Gaochang to have money."
"On our way to Gaochang, we met many businessmen, all coming and going from Gaochang. It's just that Gaochang has insufficient foundation, the environment in the Western Region is harsh, and the geographical location is limited. Otherwise, Gaochang's strength will not be at our disposal. "
Meng Ao said: "The governor is wise."
Lin Feng asked: "General Meng, how much money has been seized in the imperial city, why are you so excited?"
