As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 224
The next day, the wind was calm and the horns of war died down. The price was the compromise and concession of the people of the city.

To show his sincerity, Gu Jingcheng came to accept the surrender in person, and the army stood in a black crowd outside the Xianbei King City. The number alone was already horrifying.

Gu Jingyao's army also arrived quietly in the dark, hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.

At noon, the gate of the city opened wide, and Cheng Yu walked towards the enemy step by step with a seal in his hand.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the scene in front of them with complicated expressions.

Gu Jingcheng sat on the sandalwood grand teacher's chair, his eyes became even more playful, he casually looked at the man with a firm expression, and did not ignore the unwillingness hidden deep in his eyes, such a discovery made his heart feel more carefree.

"Cheng Yu, if I knew this earlier, why did you have to fight against me?" Gu Jingcheng stood up, looked at the man in front of him with a chuckle, and said sarcastically.

"Winners and losers, there is nothing to say. This is the seal of King Xianbei. I only hope that you can keep your promise and let the innocent people in this city who have no power to restrain them."

Cheng Yu opened the box and said in a firm tone.

"Hehe," Gu Jingcheng didn't answer, as he said, his subordinates are just defeated, so why negotiate terms with him, whether they don't kill or not depends on his mood, obviously at the moment he is in a good mood.

"Why do you negotiate terms with me? Do you think that if you don't surrender, I won't be able to capture the royal city?" Gu Jingcheng sneered.

Cheng Yu suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a steady voice, "There is no point in pointlessly shedding blood and sacrifices, I believe His Majesty would not like to see blood flow into rivers in the army."

Gu Jingcheng chuckled, noncommittal, or he didn't bother to talk to him.

He took the seal and casually threw it to the people behind him. He captured Xianbei but he didn't have any joy, or he enjoyed the excitement of war more.

"Enter the city!"

Gu Jingcheng turned his back to the man and waved his hands. Since it went so smoothly, he could return to the Li Dynasty earlier.

"Yes!" Cheers came and went, and the army entered the city in an orderly manner.

The change was only in an instant, and the Xianbei army, which was supposed to accept the surrender obediently, unknowingly pulled out swords, guns, swords and halberds from everywhere, and rushed into the loosely guarded army to fight desperately.

Gu Jingcheng's face changed suddenly, he stared blankly at the sudden scene in front of him, and didn't even realize what happened.

"There is an ambush! Protect Your Majesty!"

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The principle of capturing the thief first has not changed since ancient times, and in an instant, countless officers and soldiers rushed to assassinate Gu Jingcheng.

"Cheng Yu! How dare you plot! Today I will wash Xianbei with blood and make your people pay for your stupidity and recklessness!"

Gu Jingcheng dodged the knife in embarrassment, and was escorted by his subordinates to a safe place. Looking around, they were all covered with cold armor. Where could he find Cheng Yu's figure, he ordered the slaughter angrily.

"Come on!"

"kill!"

Suddenly there was a sound, groups of soldiers and horses appeared from everywhere, and they came towards Li Chao's army.

There were wolves in front and tigers in back, and the Li army was surrounded heavily, unable to move in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty! We have been tricked!"

At this moment, someone finally realized that this was a deliberate trap.

Gu Jingcheng cursed secretly, fled to a safe place under the desperate cover of everyone, frowned and looked over, the leader of the army who suddenly appeared behind him was his good brother who should have died in prison, Gu Jingyao!
"It's him!"

Gu Jingcheng's face was stern, blaming him for not cutting the grass and roots, for such a humble life to be so inexhaustible, his expression was complicated, one side was angry, and the other side was excited.

The man's information was correct, but the plan had changed. He damaged a large group of troops, and I don't know if he can break out of the encirclement.

Gu Jingyao commanded the soldiers to launch the ballista cart, attacking from a long distance as a cover, while the soldiers behind them stepped forward to fight.

Li Jun had never seen such an advanced combat weapon. The iron arrows thrown were like a rain of swords, and there was no way to hide, and he died on the spot.

Even with shields to protect each other, it was useless. The morale was high, and with all their strength, the Li army was retreating steadily, but there was no way to retreat. The Xianbei army was unprecedentedly brave and invincible.

"Your Majesty! I cover you and leave quickly!"

The leader, the general, frowned fiercely, protecting Gu Jingcheng with one hand and dodging arrows with a long knife in the other.

"Kill me!" Gu Jingcheng was trembling with anger, they dared to join forces to plot against him!Anyone who opposes him will die!
He frantically drew out the saber at his waist, and slashed fiercely at the enemy beside him.

"Your Majesty! Let's go!" The leader, the general, watched the soldiers covering them fall one by one and shouted, protecting Gu Jingcheng and leaving without hesitation.

It was very chaotic at the scene.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

The man slashed a bloody path, with bloodstains on his face, and shouted loudly with red eyes.

Li Jun fled in despair.

"Chase!" Seeing that Gu Jingcheng was calm, Cheng Yu commanded his subordinates to speak.

"Don't chase the poor!" Gu Jingyao stopped him, "Gu Jingcheng has lost so many elite soldiers, it's nothing to be afraid of, it's more important to appease the people in the city now."

Gu Jingyao's silver armor was already stained with blood, and he looked a little scary, so he spoke in a steady voice.

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment, and only sent a team of troops to chase the deserters and make sure they had taken out the Xianbei.

Cleaning up the scene, tens of thousands of blood flowed into rivers. For a while, the smell of blood in the air lingered for a long time, but the people present were all people who were used to killing on the battlefield, and they didn't feel anything.

The people in the city cheered in unison, drove away the enemy army, and restored the original royal city. The leader was defeated and fled. Cheng Yu sent Yetu to take advantage of the chaos to conquer the previously occupied city without any effort.

The Xianbei crisis has been resolved, and Cheng Yu is very grateful for Gu Jingyao's help. The army is stationed ten miles outside the city for a short rest, and also to prevent Gu Jingcheng from fighting with his back and making a comeback.

In the royal city, Cheng Yu hosted a banquet in honor of Gu Jingyao.

"Jing Yao, thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have become Gu Jingcheng's soul!" Cheng Yu raised his wine glass, talking about this, he still felt sad.

"Gu Jingcheng is cruel, inhumane, and careless about human life. I will not sit idly by!" Gu Jingyao replied with a calm expression.

"It's a pity that I couldn't kill that stupid king in one fell swoop this time!" Cheng Yu sighed softly, with some regret in his eyes.

"Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, Gu Jingcheng is cunning, and the city is extremely deep. We don't know the number of enemy troops yet, so we can't act rashly. This time, his vitality has been seriously injured, and he must not be able to provoke trouble again in a short time." Gu Jingyao said lightly.

Cheng Yu looked at him, and said with a smile, "Jing Yao, are you still telling me the truth? You have always been thoughtful, so you must have other plans?"

Cheng Yu stared at him with a determined smile.

Gu Jingyao neither admitted nor denied, "Do the math, it's about time."

Hearing his endless words, Cheng Yu felt a little strange, seeing that he didn't intend to answer his doubts, he stopped asking.

"By the way, it's all thanks to Balu to find you in Mozhou to save the day. You should be rewarded! Where is Batu?"

Cheng Yu smiled, suddenly thought of something, and said.

"Go back to the king, Batu didn't go back to Xianbei," the palace servant whispered after hearing the words.
