Surrender, in quotes of course...
Once they really surrender, Jinghua's game will be over.
The entire Long Yan will be in chaos.
Yu Qian is not that stupid.
Jinghua is not big.
Youzhou's 200,000 troops are enough to mess up Jinghua.
By then.
What about the other feudal lords?
What would they think?
The world is in chaos!
They will definitely take advantage of the troubled times to harm Long Yan under various names. In the name of King Qin, in the name of fighting against the Youzhou rebels... By that time, the prosperous age of Dragon Flame created by Liu Shoufu would really be over.
but……
If you don't surrender, what can you do?
Just now, Yu Qian suddenly thought of a way. To capture the thief, capture the king first!
As long as Xie Chao, the "culprit", can be eliminated, the 200,000 troops under the city will not be a threat.
Why do you say that?
After all, Long Yan has always had the supremacy of imperial power.
Then, the existence of Jinghua is the supreme existence to the common people!
This is the glory of Long Yan.
This is the dignity of Long Yan.
so.
Even if King Zhao wants to rebel, what about the soldiers below?
Yu Qian believed that they did not necessarily want to rebel with Xie Chao. But now that the situation has reached this point, they can only obey military orders.
so……
If Xie Chao dies, these 200,000 troops will definitely disperse!
This is their Jinghua advantage!
Their legal advantage!
Of course, some despicable methods must be used, but at this time, there is no need to worry about so much.
"Come here, prepare a white flag to replace the military flag on the city wall. Come with me to the city." Yu Qian said loudly when he thought of this.
"Sir, what are you..."
Hearing Yu Qian's words, the soldiers guarding the city were all stunned.
"What, can't you understand me?"
Yu Qian asked with a cold smile.
"Sir, do you want to surrender?"
The city guard's expression changed drastically.
If you surrender, the fun is over!
"This is not a surrender, but a peace negotiation. Judging from their state, I am afraid they are about to attack the city. I have to stabilize them. You leave the city first, and I will arrive later."
Yu Qian explained.
Negotiate peace?
…
So isn't this peace negotiation just surrender?
Although the soldiers were still a little confused, after all, Yu Qian had just led them to a victory, and they had no doubts about Yu Qian's ability. At this time, they could only obey Yu Qian.
After the soldiers went out, Yu Qian did not go down directly, but called Zhao Yan on the side.
"General Zhao, this time, I have to wrong you..."
Yu Qian said calmly.
Zhao Yan looked confused: "Master Yu, what do you mean?"
Yu Qian didn't waste any time and shouted directly. Several guards around him went over and tied up Zhao Yan.
When Zhao Yan saw this posture, his expression changed drastically: "Master Yu, what do you want to do?"
"Let go of our general!"
"Master Yu!"
"Do you want to rebel?"
The people next to him were also glaring furiously.
Yu Qian said calmly: "Without General Zhao, King Zhao will not be fooled. I can only use you to attract him! If there is any disrespect, please allow Yu Qian to apologize later!"
After saying this, he gave a long bow.
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I'm so good at inviting you to the urn! Mr. Yu is a great talent! Come on, give me a few whips!"
"this……"
"General!"
Zhao Yan shouted: "Don't be afraid, just come!"
Yu Qian's eyes slowly closed as he watched.
This is Long Yan’s general!
This is Long Yan’s soldier!
This is Long Yan’s man!
Snapped!
Bang bang!
The whip hit Zhao Yan's body hard, and soon his skin was torn and his flesh was bloody.
However……
He was stunned and didn't say a word!
Everyone could see that tears were flowing out.
"In a moment, I will introduce King Zhao into the city. One team will be responsible for surrendering to me, and the other team will be responsible for ambush. As soon as their people enter the city, control them immediately!"
Yu Qian ordered carefully.
"yes!"
Zhao Hui led the soldiers in Jinghua City and began to ambush.
Yu Qian just walked out with a few guards.
At this moment, Zhao Wang Xie Chao looked at Jinghua City in front of him with a surprised look on his face.
Just when I was thinking about attacking, I thought I would just hang the white flag.
"Military advisor, what do they mean?"
Xie Chao asked, tilting his head.
"I don't know. Let's take a look."
Meng Zan also frowned and shook his head.
"Look!"
At this time, the people next to him exclaimed.
I saw a civil servant escorting a general who was covered in blood, with a bruised nose and face, and who was about to die, to come out.
"This is……"
Xie Chao's eyes lit up.
Meng Zan also narrowed his eyes slightly.
At this time, Yu Qian had already walked in front of the sergeants, and then shouted loudly.
"Can you ask King Zhao to come forward?"
After Yu Qian finished speaking, Xie Chao glanced at Meng Zan. After receiving Meng Zan's approval, Xie Chao rode forward.
In fact, they will not attack the city unless it is absolutely necessary. Once they attack the city, their reputation as "rebellious ministers and traitors" will be confirmed, and they also hope to have a better solution.
"Who are you?"
Xie Chao came to a safe distance and asked coldly.
"Your Highness, I am the city guard of this capital."
Yu Qian bowed.
"Civil official."
Xie Chao looked up and down at Yu Qian in front of him. It was rare for a civilian to guard the city.
"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. It is our duty to fight against the Mongolian Tatars."
Yu Qian said.
"That makes sense. Then, what does the white flag on the city wall mean?" Xie Chao asked with a smile.
"I hope you won't attack the city." Yu Qian said bluntly.
Yu Qian's suddenness really caught Xie Chao off guard. Attacking the city was an act of rebellion. When someone asked him, he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Sir, what do you mean by this? We, the Youzhou Army, are here to visit King Qin. How can we attack the city?"
"Your Highness, we saw your ladders and siege engines from a distance. Don't tell me that these are all used by King Qin." Yu Qian said with a smile.
"this……"
"Your Highness, I will get straight to the point. Today, Jinghua City is an empty city without any defensive capabilities. Any army with combat effectiveness can easily break the city; Your Highness has an army of 200,000, and he has the heart to dominate the world. , I will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Instead of fighting to the death, it is better to give up resistance and let His Highness enter the city. On the one hand, it can reduce a lot of casualties, and on the other hand, it can also leave a good reputation for His Highness."
"I tied up this guard because he came to surrender to the prince!"
Yu Qian pointed at Zhao Yan next to him and said loudly.
"oh?"
Yu Qian's words really moved Xie Chao. Now, his biggest worry is that he needs to break the city by force and use force against the capital. He is a sure-fire rebel!
But if we can enter the city peacefully, we can follow the example of Cao Cao back then and use the emperor to control the princes. The great cause of unification will be much easier.
Just when he was thinking this, Yu Qian tied up the main battle guard?
The good thing happened so suddenly that Xie Zhaoshan was a little suspicious, and then he looked up and down at Yu Qian in front of him.
He smiled coldly: "Why do you think things are not that simple?"
"To be honest, I, Yu Qian, came from a civil service background, and I pride myself on my superior abilities, but I have been a minor official for twelve years. I am not willing to accept it. Alas, Yu Qian only hopes that His Majesty will wear yellow robes in the future. I hope that Your Highness will remember what I have done today. achievement."
Yu Qian said with sincerity.
After saying this, he knelt down directly.
His Majesty?
Xie Chao was very excited after hearing this.
"Being a civil servant..."
Xie Chao thought about it. Judging from the official uniform, Yu Qian was indeed a petty official. However, such a petty official stood in front of a group of military generals.
Xie Chao suddenly had an idea: Could it be that the scholar in front of him was responsible for the defense of Beijing?
If this is the case, then this person is really a talent!
"Bold! I am here just to lead my army to serve the king! Are you wearing a yellow robe? If you say such treacherous words, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
But Xie Chao still refused to admit that he was here to cause trouble in Jinghua and shouted coldly.
"The official made a mistake, the official made a mistake. Your Highness, because the Mongolian army is attacking the city, the city of Jinghua is in chaos. Please ask your Highness to come into the city and take charge of the overall situation!"
Yu Qiancheng said in fear, and raised the tiger talisman of the city defense army with both hands.
Xie Chao's eyes lit up when he saw the tiger charm.
The tiger talisman is a symbol of military power. With this thing, Jinghua's city defense army can be mobilized by him!
It seems that this Yu Qian has truly surrendered!
"What's your name?" Xie Chao asked with a smile as he collected the tiger charm.
"Your Majesty Yu Qian."
"Okay, I remember this name. You are a talented person and cannot be buried here. When I go to Beijing to meet the Holy Emperor, I will recommend you to be Minister of the Ministry of War in front of the Holy Emperor! It depends on you whether you can be granted the title of Marquis or Prime Minister in the future. It's up to you." Xie Chao patted Yu Qian's shoulder.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Qian. Even if you die, you will never be able to repay Your Highness for your kindness!"
Xie Chao responded and asked the messenger to inform Meng Zan that the army entered the city, but was stopped by Yu Qian.
"Your Highness, the people in the city are now frightened. Sending a large army into the city at this time will inevitably give people a handle. According to my opinion, Your Highness only needs to bring the required personal guards. Without a large army entering the city, the soldiers will feel at ease. That will make you more convinced."
Yu Qian suggested.
"Without an army?"
Xie Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, and anger appeared on his face.
Could it be that this is really a trap?
But looking at the dying guard...
He looked at Yu Qian.
He looked back at Meng Zan.
"What do you think, military advisor?"
In fact, Meng Zan has been observing Yu Qian from the beginning when Yu Qian appeared. Observe his every move, observe his words and deeds.
He didn't see any flaws.
This guard was indeed injured...
And he beat him very hard!
"Your Majesty, Sir Yu is right. Beijing is the capital of Longyan. The army's rash entry will definitely have an impact on His Highness's reputation. With the Tiger Talisman in hand, there shouldn't be any problems in the city. His Highness only needs to bring a hundred personal guards. , I will lead the army to control outside the city. If there is an emergency, I can also lead the army into the city to respond."
Meng Zan hesitated and finally said.
It can be seen that Yu Qian is indeed an underappreciated talent, and "changing dynasties" is a good thing for him.
The previous dynasty did not give him any favors, but the new dynasty allowed him to become Minister of the Ministry of War and a first-rank official!
Whether it is for an individual or for the people of the world, the latter is undoubtedly his better choice...
He could not think of the reason why Yu Qian refused.
