Chapter 223
Seeing his calm and unworried face, Meng Qi was puzzled but did not dare to question rashly, "Yes, this subordinate understands!"

He stretched out his hand, took the letter solemnly and put it away properly, then stepped out of the camp, and soon disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there before.

At night, the starry sky of the prairie is still beautiful, and darkness covers everything, good and bad, and all forces are ready to fight.

Cheng Yu even guarded the city wall, guarding against the night attack of the Li army.

"Your Majesty, it's already Yin time, I think the Li army will not make a surprise attack tonight, you haven't closed your eyes for three days, go and have a rest!"

The general was wearing armor, and said cautiously.

"I'm fine, General Yetu, let's go to rest." Cheng Yu waved his hands, his eyes were burning and bloodshot.

Yetu sighed softly, "This subordinate is with the king!" How could he rest alone at a time like this?

As soon as the words fell, a little bonfire lit up in the distance. The two of them became energetic for a while, thinking that the Li army had attacked, but there was no movement after waiting for a long time. It turned out to be a false alarm.

"Your Majesty, why didn't the Li army take advantage of the victory to pursue it at night when they launched dozens of attacks during the day?" Yetu was puzzled. If he was the commander of the enemy army, he would definitely choose to attack at night, because night is the time when people's spirits are most relaxed.

"Hmph, there is only one possibility. Their casualties are not optimistic."

Cheng Yu said calmly, he didn't think that Gu Jingcheng would be merciful and let him go, the reason why he didn't attack was of course because he couldn't attack.

"Report-"

In the silent night, a loud cry broke the silence.

A soldier in armor ran over shouting, "Your Majesty, we have captured an enemy spy!"

There was excitement in the voice, and soon two soldiers escorted a tall and strong man forward.

Cheng Yu frowned, looked at the prisoner in front of him raised his head, opened his eyes slightly, and exclaimed, "Monkey? Why is it you! Let go!"

He naturally had an impression of the secret guard who followed Gu Jingyao that day. Does it mean that Gu Jingyao already knew about it.
"Your Majesty!" Monkey said neither humble nor overbearing, his eyes showed firmness and fearlessness.

He was dressed in Li Jun's attire, and was arrested as a spy, but Cheng Yu knew that with his skills, being caught by his men must have been done on purpose.

Sure enough, Meng Qi said, "Your Majesty, the people you sent have arrived in Mozhou, and the master already knows the current situation. This is a secret letter written by the master himself."

Monkey took out the letter in his arms and spoke in a steady voice.

Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily opened the letter. The more he looked at it, the more his eyebrows relaxed. At this moment, Gu Jingyao's army was stationed twenty miles away from Xianbei Wang Cheng, and was ready to fight against the Li army at any time to support Xianbei.

"What do you need me to do?" Cheng Yu was so smart, he closed the letter and looked at Meng Qi fixedly. Since he took the risk to deliver the letter, he must have a perfect plan.

"The king is holy," Meng Qi chuckled, his eyes signaled Cheng Yu to step back, and told him Gu Jingyao's plan in a low voice.

"Pretend to join the enemy?" Cheng Yu frowned, and after hearing what he said, he couldn't help asking back.

"Yes, when the city gate is wide open, Gu Jingcheng's vigilance will definitely be relaxed. The two armies should cooperate internally and externally, and the Li army will be caught off guard!" Meng Qi patiently explained.

Cheng Yu nodded, and discussed the countermeasures with Meng Qi carefully.

At the same time, in the Li Dynasty military camp.

Gu Jingcheng sat in the camp with a face full of anger, and several generals stood shyly aside, not daring to show their anger, silently bearing the men's pressure.

"Two days, loss of [-] elite soldiers? They're all trash!" Gu Jingcheng swept everything off the desk, furious.

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Who will explain to me? You are all dumb?" Seeing his subordinates cowering, he became even more angry, and the night attack originally scheduled tonight was delayed because of this.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the enemy is relying on the superiority of its position," the leading general said cautiously, and immediately expressed his loyalty, "However, don't worry, Your Majesty, I would like to guarantee that the king's city will be captured within two days!"

"Okay!" Gu Jingcheng said loudly, looking at her with a vicious gaze as if quenched by poison.

The next day, an uninvited guest came to Li Jun's tent.

The soldiers escorted the man in, "Your Majesty, this man claims to be an envoy from Xianbei to deliver the letter of surrender."

Gu Jingcheng raised his brows slightly, and his heart felt relaxed.

"Emperor Li Dynasty, if the two armies are at war, if you don't kill them, the Li Dynasty is a big country, so you don't understand this truth?" Yetu sneered, glanced at the two soldiers who were tightly restraining him, and said mockingly.

Gu Jingcheng waved his hand in a good mood to signal them to let go of the man, and said with a smile, "It's natural, but where is the surrender letter?"

Yetu took out the booklet from his bosom and presented it up. The man opened it for inspection, and Yetu said firmly, "Our army is willing to open the city gate and surrender to the Li Dynasty, surrender voluntarily, and become a vassal state of the Li Dynasty. I just ask Your Majesty to care about humanity." Doctrine, save the people in the city from death!" The man's tone was neither humble nor overbearing.

Gu Jingcheng looked at the surrender letter with satisfaction, every word and sentence was beneficial to the Li Dynasty, and laughed contemptuously, "Go back and tell Cheng Yu that as long as he is willing to surrender, the people of Xianbei are also my people!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor." Yetu sneered in his heart, but his face was watertight.

"At noon tomorrow, Kaesong will be surrendered." Gu Jingcheng said.

Yetu left, and the leading general looked at Gu Jingcheng and reminded him, "Your Majesty, why did Xianbei suddenly propose to surrender after holding on to the corner for many days? Beware of fraud!"

"Oh, it's the end of the crossbow. Now I can't hold on anymore. Naturally, I have to surrender. No one is not afraid of death!" Gu Jingcheng said nonchalantly, and solved Xianbei. It would be good to attack the Li Dynasty, so that he can catch the turtle in the urn and solve everything. From now on, he can rest easy and have no future troubles.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, the man wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted impatiently, "Okay, stop making noise, get a good night's sleep, accept the surrender tomorrow, and return to court triumphantly!"

"Yes! Your Majesty is wise!!" Seeing this, everyone immediately flattered and withdrew.

On the other side, Yetu returned to the city and went straight to the palace, where Cheng Yu was already waiting here.

"how?"

"The dog emperor has already taken the letter of surrender, and he has already firmly believed in it." Yetu sneered, if it wasn't for the balance, he would rather die than surrender.

"Okay, everything is ready, just wait for the city to open tomorrow, and Gu Jingyao's army will also cooperate with each other to drive him out of Xianbei!"

Cheng Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashed, and the unwillingness and humiliation of the past few days turned into the excitement of eagerness to try.

"Your Majesty is wise, we swear to follow you to the death!" Yetu led the lieutenant general to kneel down, and said solemnly, the prairie man with strong bones, if he still has a breath, he will swear to defend the territory to the death.
