Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 114 The Gaoyang Kingdom is destroyed without bloodshed! 【Ask monthly ticket】

Gaoyang State, under Gaoping City.

The [-] troops of Liaozhen in the Great Wei Dynasty lined up neatly.

Armed with shields, crossbows, spears, and broadswords, the soldiers were terrific.

All of them stared ahead with determination on their faces. Even though they had been traveling for days, they did not feel tired at all.

Because everyone knows what this battle means.

Just knock down Gaoping City.

Then, each of them is a hero who has the merit of destroying the country.

Although this kind of credit cannot fall on their heads, at least after leaving the army, they have the capital to brag to future generations.

In particular, all the soldiers understand that if this battle is successful, their names will surely be left in history. Even without their names, just these are enough.

Therefore, the momentum of the soldiers in Liao Town is at an all-time high, and they can't wait to attack now.

But at this time, at the forefront of the queue, Song Hongzhi was wearing silver armor and a silver spear, with an extraordinary imposing manner.

Regardless of the fact that he has only been in the army for a few months now.

But the kind of momentum revealed by the body.

It is not comparable to ordinary people at all.

"General."

At this time, Deputy General Chen rode up from behind and said respectfully, "When will the attack be launched?"

At this moment, in addition to being excited in his heart, he was also in a trance, as if in a dream.

Even from the very beginning, he knew that the purpose of this war was to destroy the country.

But when it comes to this step.

I still don't believe it.

Destroy the country.

Putting it on someone who joined the army is already the highest achievement.

Especially in this, there is not much to do by myself.

Basically, I just followed the general in front of me throughout the whole process, and I got to this point.
How can you not be excited?

Behind Vice-General Chen, Vice-General Wang and the others all had joyful expressions on their faces, and the hands holding the spear and saber were also trembling.

To be honest, they couldn't wait any longer, and wanted to charge at the next moment to capture Gaoping City.

But everyone knows that in this case, it is still necessary to obey the coach's order.

As for Song Hongzhi, after hearing this, he thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "There is no rush, Gaoyang Kingdom is now empty, and they cannot raise a large amount of food and grass in a short period of time. They have no way out."

"Also, because we marched too fast this time, we didn't carry some large siege equipment. Although Gaoping City Wall is not much stronger than Liao Town, it is still a city after all."

"So, let's wait first, wait a little longer, we may not be able to fight this battle without bloodshed."

Before this, Song Hongzhi had already understood.

The reason why Gao Yangguo dared to choose to go to war with Wei.

The fundamental reason lies in the strong attitude of Prince Li Jae.

As for King Gaoyang, he was not very willing to do this in his heart.

But he couldn't stand the persuasion of his son and ministers, so he agreed to the battle.

Now, his own army is approaching the city, but in Gaoping City, there are only 1 defenders.

Coupled with the fact that the overall quality of the Gaoyang soldiers was almost behind that of the Wei soldiers, there was almost no chance of winning this battle.

Of course, Song Hongzhi knew very well that the reason why the other party hadn't chosen to surrender now was nothing more than the last hope.

"Soldiers without blood?
"The general means that they will surrender, shouldn't they?" Deputy General Chen was a little puzzled when he heard this.

Why do you think Gaoyang is a country, no matter how unbearable it is, it will not be reduced to directly surrendering the city?

"How is it impossible?" But at this time, Vice General Wang came over and said with a smile: "The general said to wait is to wait for King Gaoyang to receive news from Li Zai, because Li Zai still has nearly 20 yuan in his hands." As for the army, if they can return to aid at this time, it will definitely solve the crisis of the capital."

"So we have to wait, when King Gaoyang knows that the army in Li Zai's hands is no longer capable of fighting, and when he knows that all the food and grass in the granary city will be lost, his expectations will be completely shattered."

"At that time, Gao Yangguo knew that everything was a foregone conclusion. If he chose to surrender, he might still save his life. If not, he might only die."

Speaking of this, Vice General Wang turned his head and bowed: "General, is the last general's guess right?"

"clever."

Song Hongzhi nodded and said with a smile: "King Gaoyang's hope is placed on Li Zai. As long as this hope is shattered, their faith will collapse. Surrender is the best choice."

"However, we can also choose to attack the city, but that would be a bit expensive. This general once said that we must use the smallest cost to achieve the greatest results. The soldiers have rushed thousands of miles away from Liao Town. Now the situation is clear."

"What this general has to do now is to take them, and you, back unscathed."

Immediately, he narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head and said, "This is my responsibility as the coach!"

As soon as these words came out, the lieutenants present were all silent.

Before that, they all had great opinions on Song Hongzhi in their hearts.

He is obviously a soldier, but he is unwilling to endure hardships, so he has to find a cook from the capital so that he can enjoy delicious food.

More importantly, on the way to train the army later, I hardly want to stay with the soldiers.

Although some of the lieutenants have never followed Marquis Shenwu, they also know that this old Marquis is a true lover of soldiers, and his food and clothing are almost no different from ordinary soldiers.

Now, there is such a coach who only cares about enjoying and doesn't know how to share weal and woe with soldiers.

For them, if it weren't for their status, they would have started scolding long ago.

Who in the army has no temper?
But today's speech.

Let the lieutenants understand some truths, even if they don't choose to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, as long as they can win the battle and make the soldiers under them not waste their lives, they are also worthy of respect.

Of course, this does not mean that they do not agree with Shen Wuhou's set.

It was only under the influence of Song Hongzhi that he began to agree with this point.

The coach is not only about winning battles.

More importantly, the lives of soldiers must be preserved.

Although it is not a love of soldiers like a son, it is definitely due diligence.

At this moment, the lieutenants did not speak, and all stood silently behind them.

Song Hongzhi, on the other hand, raised his head and looked at Gaoping City not far away.

What he hoped was that King Gao Yang would know the current affairs best.

otherwise.

You won't be polite until you do it yourself!

At the same time, in Gaoping City, in the palace hall.

All the officials of Gaoyang Kingdom gathered together, everyone's face was full of horror, and the hall was chaotic.

"Shut up, everyone!" At this time, Li Chengbing, the king of Gaoyang, shouted loudly on the king's chair in the main hall.

All of a sudden, everyone shut up, lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

But after Li Chengbing drank a lot.

I didn't speak anymore.

He just looked at the ministers under him, sitting on the throne dejectedly.

Just this morning, I was still eating delicious food and watching Wu, when I suddenly heard the news that the army of Wei was approaching the city and the capital was besieged.

At first, Li Chengbing thought he heard it wrong, but soon he thought of the previous battle of Licheng, and felt that the army that came to the capital this time should be the army that broke through Licheng.

Because I got the news before and knew that the Wei army was very small in number, I thought it was no big deal.

But soon, someone reported that there were 5 people who surrounded the capital this time.

a time.

He was frightened and ran to the top of the city to have a look.

Sure enough, there was a dense army of troops under the city, holding the dragon flag of the Great Wei, ready to go, and it seemed that they would launch an attack at any time!
Li Chengbing never dreamed, why would the army of Wei appear in the capital?

And in the back, he heard a series of military reports.

Know this Wei army.

In the past few days, they have attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold.

Now dozens of cities in Gaoping City have fallen.

Although it was not in the hands of Da Wei, he did not have the power to fight.

Finally, Li Chengbing recognized the reality clearly, that is, the current capital is in danger.

The entire Gaoyang country is on the verge of extinction.

Get flustered.

He quickly summoned the ministers of the royal capital to discuss countermeasures.

But what I didn't expect was that those ministers were more afraid than themselves.

Even the number of ministers standing in the court today is one-third less than in the past.

As for the reason, Li Chengbing can naturally guess that those who are usually loyal people have been emboldened and dare not even go to court.
However, the most important thing now is not these, but the way for the ministers to get along with each other.

It's a pity that the whole morning has passed, and nothing can be done.

The whole hall is noisy.

In helplessness, fear, and anger, he told everyone to shut up.

But what about after?

Li Chengbing himself had no choice.

"Your Majesty." A minister came out and immediately said, "Don't be in a hurry, Your Majesty. As usual, wait for news from the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince still has nearly 20 troops in his hands."

"The army of Great Wei now has only 5 people, and it is deep inside our country, without support from the rear. As long as the prince's army arrives, this situation will definitely be resolved!"

"That's right, my lord, let's not worry, there is still enough food in the capital to last for a while."

At this time, some Gao Yang ministers came out and spoke one after another.

Obviously, just as Song Hongzhi expected.

They put all their hopes on Li Jae.

Li Chengbing, who heard these words, also nodded.

Correct!
As long as the prince comes back, everything will be fine.

"Report!"

But at this time, a clan suddenly broke into the hall, knelt down on the ground, and said in horror: "My lord, the latest military report, all the food and grass in the granary city have been burned, and the army led by the prince has all dispersed. Now only There are less than 7 people left, and they are resting in Fucheng, but because there is no food, the army cannot move forward. The prince sent a military report, asking the king to find a way to raise more food. Otherwise, the army may appear soon mutiny."

hum!
As soon as this sentence comes out.

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.

Everyone's eyes widened, and chills spread all over their bodies.

And Li Chengbing, the king of Gaoyang who was sitting on the throne, was trembling all over.

There are nearly 20 troops, and now there are less than [-] left.

In particular, the grain and grass in Granary City are gone
At this moment.

His face turned pale, and he was speechless.

It should be noted that those food and grass were collected after a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and they were all burned like this.

But now, the prince actually said that he still needs to raise some money.
Li Chengbing knew that this was impossible.

Because of the current Gaoyang national strength, there is no way to do it in a short time.

What's more important is that outside of the capital now, the [-] troops of the Great Wei are approaching the city.
Li Chengbing sat slumped on the throne, as if his energy was taken away all of a sudden.

The army in the hands of the prince is his last hope. Now not only half of the people have run away, but even the food and grass are gone.

"It's over, everything is over." Li Chengbing muttered to himself, his face pale.

He regrets it now.

Why did you listen to the prince's words and start a war with Da Wei?

Why can't it be a vassal state honestly?
it's good now.

An army of [-] is just below the city, and the prince's army cannot be counted on.

If he didn't think of any other way, Gao Yangguo might perish in his hands.

At this moment, he couldn't help but look at the ministers in the hall, and said: "Everyone, is there a way to solve my Gaoyang danger?"

Down below, all the ministers of Gaoyang Kingdom showed embarrassment and began to shake their heads.

The army in the prince's hands has exhausted the power of the whole country.

Now the country is empty, and no reinforcements can be found at all.

What else can be done?

Finally, a minister hesitated for a moment, came out, and immediately said: "I think, Your Majesty, you should surrender. Otherwise, if you wait for the Wei army to launch an attack, the 1 people in the capital will not be able to defend at all." , once they break into the city."

He didn't go on, but everyone knew what was going to happen.

The country is destroyed!

Not only these ministers.

Even the entire Gaoyang royal family could not be spared.

But if he chooses to surrender, he may still survive.

Therefore, none of the ministers present stood up to object, because there was no other way.

The king's capital can't be defended, and there is no reinforcements. There are only two ways waiting for them, death or surrender.
Li Chengbing was also silent when he heard these words, because he had already expected this result.

The entire hall fell into silence.

until an hour later.

King Li Chengbing of Gaoyang compromised, because he didn't want to die, so he stood up and ordered someone to take out the seal of Gaoyang.

Then just like that, he took all the courtiers out of the hall and out of the royal city.

Under Gaoping City.

The deputy generals of the Great Wei looked at Gaoyang Capital in front of them, and all of them frowned.

Several hours have passed since they besieged the city, but there is still no movement inside, so some people can't help it.

It's just that Song Hongzhi half-closed his eyes, as if everything was planned.

that's it.

It didn't take long.

Gaoping city gate opened.

King Li Chengbing of Gaoyang came out slowly, holding the imperial seal, plain clothes and white silk.

Dozens of them were also dressed in white silk and satin, and the ministers followed behind with their heads bowed and their arms bound.

In the rear, there were groups of unarmed soldiers holding white flags.

Everyone looked sad, and walked through the city gate step by step, and walked up to the Wei army.

The lieutenants of Great Wei saw this scene.

All smiled.

Song Hongzhi opened his eyes at this moment, and muttered to himself: "Gaoyang Kingdom, destroy it!"

　Acute gastroenteritis, last night yesterday.

　　Today I can only temporarily update [-] words.

　　It can be considered that Fengxue took half a day off.

　　Tomorrow, Feng Xue will be resurrected with full blood, and then resume daily [-]-word updates!

　　Ask for support!
