The next day, the news of Ye Gui's death in battle also spread back to Caizhou.
When he first heard this, King Ling's face was full of disbelief. He stood up and shouted loudly: "Impossible! General Ye Gui dominates the world and is unbeatable! How can he die in battle!"
"It must be you, a pawn, who falsely spreads military information!"
"Here comes someone! Drag him down and behead him in public!"
Hearing this, the soldiers who came to report turned pale with fright, and kept saying: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life, this is military intelligence. Even if I have the courage, I would not dare to deceive Your Majesty..." ..."
Cheng Ping couldn't bear to see the soldier die in vain, so he bravely stood up and said, "Your Majesty clearly knows that the soldiers are not guilty."
After saying that, he also waved his hand to the soldier kneeling on the ground, signaling him to retreat quickly.
If the latter was granted amnesty, he kowtowed quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing, thank the military advisor..."
The soldier wiped his cold sweat and retreated. The Spirit King did not stop him, but he just became a little lost.
"Haha... Impossible, absolutely impossible! Ye Gui can't die in battle..."
He was still talking, although he knew in his heart that the soldiers who reported the report would never dare to talk nonsense, but he just didn't want to believe it.
Seeing him like this, no one around the hall dared to say a word. Cheng Ping also silently returned to the train, everyone bowed their heads slightly.
"Impossible! How could I, the first general of Great Spirit, die at the hands of Qin thieves..."
The Spirit King said as he left here, his words gradually faded away.
He left, leaving the generals in the hall. People looked at each other at first, and then quickly became noisy. Someone said: "Even General Ye Gui died in the battle, and our Ling Army suffered a great loss." One arm..."
"The situation is critical now. It won't be long before Murong Yan's main force will be wiped out..." Another person said.
"Yes, the Qin army's frontline will be directed towards Caizhou soon. What should we do..."
"The situation in Baiting and Liupanshan has not improved at all. If this continues, Caizhou will also be in danger..."
People were talking all over the place, and their words were full of worry and anxiety.
Cheng Ping sighed secretly and silently exited.
However, as soon as he left the hall, Huang Zu quickly caught up with him. While walking side by side with him, he also said loudly: "The military advisor has a good plan."
"Alas, the overall situation has been lost, and now Your Majesty has no confidence in fighting at all." Cheng Ping shook his head slightly, and then asked: "In Commander Huang's opinion."
Huang Zudao: "In my opinion, no matter what, Caizhou must not give in. This place is the viscera of my great spirit. Once we lose this place, we will lose half of our country, and the situation will become even more irreversible."
Then he added: "But military advisor, please ask your majesty to return to the capital and take charge. Firstly, you can stay away from dangerous places. Secondly, you can stabilize the domestic situation, replenish troops, and personally supervise the food and grass."
Cheng Ping shook his head again and said with some bitterness: "Shuai Huang doesn't know the situation in the country. Does he think that the prime minister has not tried his best? Now it is not only a problem of conscription, but also the supply of food and grass for our army is in a state of tension."
"This..." Huang Zu also frowned deeply.
Yes, this war has lasted for a long time since the war between Qin Ling and the original four war zones to the present. Both sides can be said to have poured out the strength of the country and mobilized millions of troops. Not only the number of soldiers killed in the battle is in a straight line The fortunes of food, grass, ordnance are astronomical.
Let’s talk about Murong Yan’s side.
Ye Gui's death had a huge impact on Lingjun, and was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Now, they not only have no fighting spirit, but also no food. Even drinking water is a huge problem, because the shallow river next to them is full of corpses, and the clear river water has long been dyed red, making it impossible to drink normally.
On Feiyun Beach, Murong Yan was wearing a general's armor and a cloak on his back, looking steadily at the other side of the river. There were many generals of the Spirit Army standing beside him, and the soldiers below had not eaten for two or three days. , everyone was hungry and panicking, sitting or lying down in groups, weapons and flags were thrown all over the ground, and no one paid attention to them.
Seeing him staring blankly at the other side, the generals couldn't help but look at each other. The deputy general moved his lips and tentatively shouted: "General..."
Murong Yan came back to his senses, turned around and looked at everyone, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "I commanded 400,000 troops. I never expected that the officers and soldiers of the three armies would be where they are today. This is all my fault. What do you have to say? Just say it.”
"General, please don't do this. Victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. Originally, if we lost the decisive battle, we could have retreated to Caizhou. I can only say that Su Yi's interception of Feiyuntan was too hateful." The deputy general did not forget to comfort him.
"Yes." Another partial general said: "Now our army is trapped here, surrounded by enemies on all sides, but King Qin has not given orders for a long time, only besieging but not attacking. It is obvious that he wants to drag us to death."
Someone else said: "There is no hope for reinforcements, food, grass and drinking water are cut off. If we want to break out, we can only forcefully cross the river, but that will only sacrifice the soldiers in vain."
"Now the soldiers are hungry and have no fighting power at all. There are many riots. If they are not resolved, there will be a mutiny."
"Yes, the situation is at this point. Even if we are willing to fight, there is nothing we can do..."
The generals said something to each other. When he said this, the deputy general also followed: "The generals must pay attention to what the generals said. Although our army still has more than 100,000 troops, it is not only more than 100,000 soldiers, but also There are more than 100,000 young men..."
The meaning of these words was already obvious. As soon as he finished speaking, the general knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "At this point, there is no room for maneuver. The general dares to ask the general. For the sake of the lives of the soldiers, surrender. ...Come down."
After saying that, the general also bowed his head.
And as he knelt down, other generals also knelt down one after another.
Looking at this scene, Murong Yan closed his eyes deeply. In the past few days, it was not that he had no desire to surrender, but he had been hesitant and undecided.
Now that it was time like this, he also sighed and said quietly: "Okay, as you said, surrender, you all go down and prepare."
"No!" All the generals responded in unison.
It is inevitable for the spiritual army here to reach this point.
Under the organization of various generals, the spirit army that had been scattered throughout Feiyuntan finally gathered together that afternoon, but it was still listless, with their armor crooked and unable to stand.
Not long after, a general also walked to the foot of the mountain on the left, holding a white flag.
Because this was a signal to surrender, the Qin army did not fire arrows. After the spirit general arrived, he looked up and said loudly:
"The two armies are fighting now, and the outcome has been decided. It will inevitably lead to a loss of life. Our army is willing to put down the war and dare to ask His Highness the King of Qin to surrender."
