"General Cao, all the artillery pieces have been prepared. As long as you give the order, I guarantee that this royal city will be blown to pieces!"
Just when everyone in the city was in danger, Yingbu grinned outside the city and reported the situation to Cao Shen.
"good!"
However, Cao Shen only responded and did not issue other orders.
Yingbu followed behind, scratched his head, and waited for a moment. Cao Shen still had no intention of giving the order to fire.
He finally couldn't bear his impatience anymore and asked, "General Cao, when will we attack the city?"
"hold on!"
Cao Shen held a telescope and looked towards the city wall.
"Wait? What are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for Yelang Kingdom to surrender!"
Seeing Ying Bu's confused face, Xiao He explained with a smile.
"Surrender? Isn't King Yelang very arrogant? He always thinks that his country is very powerful, how can he surrender voluntarily?"
Yingbu shook his head, feeling that this matter was unreliable.
It is better to attack early and capture Yelang King City, so that we can prepare food earlier!
"According to my guess, the archers sent in the last wave are here to test our strength. After knowing our strength, they are very likely to surrender! That's why I just said that maybe we can save some energy this time!"
Xiao He smiled lightly.
"Oh, I see!"
Yingbu and others suddenly understood.
"The Yelang Kingdom is considered a big country nearby. It would be a pity if all the city walls like this were blown up. It would be better to keep them and become a government office of Da Qin in the future, so as not to have to rebuild them!"
Putting down the telescope, Cao Shen said with a smile.
"General Cao, look!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp-eyed soldier discovered that the city gate suddenly opened a small opening.
A young soldier came out first and kept waving his hands!
"Haha! It looks like Yelang sent an envoy here!"
Seeing that the Qin army had no intention of taking action, the young soldiers moved a few steps further. An old man led two middle-aged ministers and walked out together. Like him, they kept waving their hands.
"Pfft..."
Looking at the funny looks of these people, bursts of laughter suddenly broke out among the Qin army.
"Meng Yun, Meng Yu, go and bring them here! Be careful!"
Cao Shen nuzzled his lips at the people who kept waving their hands.
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the two men rode forward and brought several people over.
"Yelang Mu Yi has met the commander-in-chief of Great Qin!"
After seeing Cao Shen, Mu Yi led several people to give him a Qin salute, and then greeted him in unfamiliar Qin dialect.
"Yeah! No gifts...!"
Cao Shen held his head high, turned over and dismounted, "Tell me, what is the purpose of your king sending you here?"
"The Qin army is so majestic that my king has always admired it. Now that I see it, it is indeed worthy of its reputation...!"
"Okay, don't tell me those useless things, just tell me why your king sent you here!"
In order not to anger the Qin people, Mu Yi planned to praise Da Qin fiercely first, and then talk about surrendering.
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted impatiently by Cao Shen.
"Uh...yes!"
Helpless, Mu Yi had no choice but to tell the truth, "My king admires Da Qin, and Sui Yelang is willing to surrender!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Shen and others looked at each other and smiled.
Especially Yingbu, who quietly quarreled with Xiao He beside him, said in a low voice: "Okay, Old Xiao! I'm usually a serious person, but I didn't expect to be so thoughtful! You can even guess this!"
"What's so hard about this?"
Xiao He laughed immodestly.
Seeing smiles on the faces of several generals, Mu Yi became bolder and continued: "My king promises to pay tribute to the Qin Dynasty every year and go to Xianyang to pay tribute every year!"
However, before he finished speaking, he saw the expressions of several generals suddenly change.
The original bright smile suddenly turned into a gloomy face, and everyone was glaring, as if they could eat him alive at any time!
"General...general, is there anything wrong with...?"
The sharp looks from everyone frightened Mu Yi's whole body, making him stutter even more when Qin's words were not very good.
"Pay tribute? Pay congratulations?"
Before Cao Shen could speak, Yingbu raised the corners of his mouth and started questioning.
"No...that's right!"
Mu Yi nodded.
"You guys are going to be a vassal state! Do you still want to keep your country name?"
"This...it depends on what King Qin wants!"
"Ah! What a beautiful thought!"
Yingbu spat directly in his face.
"You don't need our General Cao to open your mouth. Today, the Japanese General will tell you bluntly, it's impossible! Absolutely impossible! Such a good thing, even you Yelang can't dream of it!"
"Yes! We came all the way here and wiped out all the surrounding small countries. Is it just to keep you Yelang?"
Meng Yun and Meng Yu also spoke one after another with dissatisfied expressions.
"This this……?"
Facing several young men who were tall and as strong as oxen, Mu Yi shrank his neck and cast his eyes on Cao Shen in embarrassment.
Obviously, this is the commander-in-chief of the Qin army.
Whether this matter can be accomplished or not depends on the commander-in-chief’s intention!
"Go back and tell your king, if you want to live and let the people in this city live, put down your weapons, lead all the soldiers out of the city, kneel down to welcome my Qin army into the city, from now on, this is my land of Qin, and the people will also You will become the people of my Great Qin! And you will be sent to Xianyang as prisoners, and how you will be distributed afterwards depends on your fate!"
Cao Shen had a calm face and spoke very clearly.
"Can……"
"No, but you are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me now. I will give you an hour to think about it. After an hour, I will light these cannons. When the city wall is blown down, even if you regret it, you will not late!"
Mu Yi wanted to fight for it again, but Cao Shen stopped him with a word.
"Someone, send them back!"
"yes!"
Cao Shen gave an order, and several soldiers immediately took Mu Yi and others away and threw them at the city gate.
The city gate was opened again with a small gap, allowing a few people to slip back!
"Hmph! You're already a fish on the chopping block, and you're still dreaming of becoming a vassal state. Did your head get caught in the door?"
After several ministers left, Yingbu started to curse and mutter.
"That's right! It's obvious that we are fools!"
"If they refuse to surrender later, I will be the first to rush into the palace, pull out King Yelang, and ask him where he got the courage to negotiate terms with us."
"No! The gun is already pointed at their heads. If you don't quickly beg for mercy, do you still want to be a vassal state? Just dream...!"
The other soldiers also cursed with disdain.
"Okay! Just wait a little longer! If King Yelang doesn't know how to praise, then don't blame us for being rude...!"
Cao Shen continued with a cold face: "After taking care of Yelang, we can return to Xianyang!"
