"Captain, Li Ducheng has been captured!" Xu Mu heard the good news as soon as he left the camp.
"Down?"
"Exactly." Yin Hu's voice was ecstatic, "In addition, after capturing Lidu City, Zuo Shiren did not stop and quickly took a detour to cooperate with Ma Yi to defeat Yijiang City within one day!"
Yijiang City was originally poorly defended. Ma Yi's role is just to contain him. But now, with the capture of Lidu City and Yijiang City, there is only the last imperial capital left in Cangzhou.
"The Demon Queen quickly retreated to the imperial capital with her remaining troops. Now, the entire Cangzhou imperial capital has been completely surrounded by our allied forces——"
Before Yin Hu finished speaking, another general came over happily.
"My lord, the allied forces are besieging the imperial capital of Cangzhou. The Demon Queen has come forward to request that you surrender! The leader of the Zuo Alliance wants you to come over."
"I'll leave immediately."
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He had not made any move because he was worried that the Demon Queen had some tricks up his sleeve. But now it seemed that the Demon Queen was trapped in the imperial capital and only had her last breath left.
However, Xu Mu didn't believe it when the Demon Queen came forward to ask for surrender. I always felt in my heart that there was something wrong after all.
"Six Heroes, it's almost half a year."
"Exactly."
From the time when the Allied forces joined forces to the siege of the imperial capital, time passed quietly, and before anyone knew it, nearly half a year had passed.
Before leaving the camp, Xu Mu just got on his horse. After thinking about it, he still called Chang Wei.
"Chang Wei, don't follow me this round."
"Little boss...I can't hold it in anymore." Chang Wei said nervously.
"Listen to me, if you take 10,000 people and ambush them in one place, you won't be able to achieve great results."
"where to?"
"Besides the Imperial Capital, Feilong Forest. Remember to bring two or three guides. I've been looking at the map these past few days. If I hadn't looked back and forth several times, I almost missed this place."
"Boy Chang Wei, Brother Mu is lying to you, go there and feed the mosquitoes." Si Hu, who was riding a tall horse, thought he had seen through everything.
"Si Hu, you can stay in the camp and look after the stables."
Si Hu's face was horrified, he hurriedly lowered his voice and huddled into the long queue.
"Chang Wei, be careful. When you win the battle, I will treat you to a drink."
"Don't worry, little boss, I believe in you."
"Very good."
From Changyang to the border and then to the grassland, his friendship with Chang Wei was like old friends. Of course, Chang Wei's character is more important, he is forthright and righteous.
Chang Wei in this world was not the murderer of the thirteen members of the Qi family.
…
"Please surrender? Haha."
The camp outside the imperial capital of Cangzhou was already crowded with allied generals. Zuo Shiren was sitting in the main seat. Below, there were Zhao Di and other Nanhai kings, many leaders of forces who had joined the alliance, and even Yu Wen, who led troops to rush for reinforcements, restrained Ma Yi, who was north of Cangzhou...
"What does this Demon Queen mean? She is just a foreign demon." Zuo Shiren exhaled and felt that his chest suddenly became comfortable.
"Everyone, how long will it take to storm the imperial capital?"
"The walls of the pseudo-capital are high and thick, but the Demon Queen has retained some elite troops. It may take two months, I don't know."
"In two months, it will be autumn."
"The Demon Queen is at her wits' end and asking for surrender is nothing more than begging for a living. If not, let her hand over to Emperor Yuan first."
"What kind of Emperor of the Era? He is just an infant and the Demon Queen's puppet emperor. Whether he is a descendant of the Yuan family or not remains to be seen."
The imperial family of the Epoch has collapsed, and people like them can no longer be loyal to the Emperor of the Epoch.
On the main seat, Zuo Shiren smiled faintly, "Everyone, I have already made plans regarding the son of Emperor Yuan. As you all know, I, Zuo Shiren, have a good reputation in the world. When the time comes to capture the imperial capital, this pseudo-emperor will be handed over to me. Give it to me and I will send it to an ordinary family and become a farmer. God is so kind to you."
"Leader Zuo, he is truly a benevolent person in the world."
"I'll be convinced."
No one knew, but Zuo Shiren had other plans. Being a peasant is just an excuse.
"Back to business." Zuo Shiren looked up and looked down, "What do you think about the Demon Queen's request to surrender?"
"Of course I won't accept it, just destroy the city and kill the Demon Queen!"
"The Demon Queen is also stupid. She knew it was useless to ask for surrender, but she did it superfluously." Countless people in the military tent sneered.
…
"Six heroes, I feel more and more that the Demon Queen's act of asking for surrender is just to lure me to show up." Seeing that they were approaching the allied camp outside the imperial capital, Xu Mu suddenly spoke.
"Out of consideration, I kept a team of troops to be on guard at all times. But this time, the Demon Queen asked for surrender, and Zuo Shiren and many allies wanted to let me pass."
Yin Hu nodded, "Even so, helmsman, the Demon Queen only has the last city left, and it is tightly surrounded again."
"No, throughout the ages, in important places such as the imperial palace, whether it is the puppet capital or the accompanying capital, there will always be a secret passage leading to the outside of the city. Six heroes, do you remember how the puppet emperor Fang Ru escaped from Yuan Song?"
"I took the secret passage of the puppet palace...but later, even though I escaped, I was caught by Yuan Song and executed in public."
"That's it." Xu Mu frowned.
"Hezhou's side will probably retreat as soon as the Demon Queen is destroyed. As for Chang Silang's side outside Dingbei Pass, they will take action soon."
"So, the Demon Queen must understand that if the situation is unfavorable, she will not survive. Please surrender, this is a lie to fools."
"The helmsman is not a fool. However, just as the helmsman said, this time, the helmsman showed up. Many people understand that although the leader of the entire world alliance is Zuo Shiren, the one who controls the overall situation A human being is the helmsman.”
"Be careful."
Xu Mu only hoped that the current Allied forces would not be carried away by the joy of victory. The world is united to work together for the great cause. If the Demon Queen is not forced to death, it will not be considered a great victory.
"Helmsman, we're here."
Xu Mu raised his head and first looked at the huge imperial city that came into view. As he thought, the imperial capital city had high walls and thick walls, which made it even more majestic in the setting sun.
"Captain, there is someone kneeling outside the south city gate. It should be the envoy."
Outside the south city gate is Zuo Shiren's camp.
Not far from the camp, there were about a dozen people, wearing plain robes, kneeling with hands in hands. An old minister at the front held the watch high above his head.
"Li Gongda, the guilty minister, asks to see the leader of the Zuo Alliance and the King of Shu. My Queen Mother is kind-hearted and cannot bear to let the people fall into the disaster of war again. She specially orders the guilty minister to come and submit a petition to surrender——"
The voice was obviously trembling, and it was even more hoarse.
No one paid any attention to him.
Of course, if Zuo Shiren gave the order, these people would be shot into sieves in an instant.
Xu Mu understood that Zuo Shiren was just waiting for him. The Demon Queen's request to surrender is like a joke.
"Six heroes, enter the camp."
After getting off his horse, Xu Mu turned his head again. Under the setting sun, the puppet capital of Cangzhou fell into a blur of light and shadow.
