The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 867 Dongying Surrenders
The emperor is very happy recently. Not only the problem in Tongzhou has been solved, but also good news has come from the east. The two thousand elite soldiers sent out before arrived in the east and severely damaged the Dongying Kingdom. They were helpless Dongying originally had [-] troops, but today, there are only less than [-] left, and they are all remnants and defeated generals.

It is worth mentioning that the Dongying Kingdom sent the chief general Wu Kun to try to boost the morale of the soldiers, but Yun Shaoyang did not give them any chance. After receiving the news, he went to the battlefield again before he recovered from his injuries. The morale of the soldiers of Dayan Gao Gao was stunned to besiege the people of Dongying Kingdom, and Yun Shaoyang even beheaded Wu Kun with his own hands, and took the head of the opponent's general. Dongying was defeated without a fight!

Seeing that the soldiers of Dayan were about to enter the territory of Dongying, the king of Dongying immediately wrote a form of surrender and sent someone to Yun Shaoyang's barracks. Yun Shaoyang hesitated because of this, temporarily ceased fighting, and sent the form of surrender back to the capital.

How could the emperor not be happy when he saw it, and the court was even more energetic: "Dongying finally surrendered, what's your opinion?"

Zheng Yunsheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I think that Dong Ying is too deceitful to assassinate the crown prince and princess concubine during the Chinese New Year. That's why I don't agree to retreat."

"Your majesty, my ministers also do not agree to retreat."

"My minister agrees!"

As soon as Zheng Yunsheng spoke, many ministers stepped forward to express their disapproval of retreating. Yes, Dayan now holds the power of life and death. Even if they do not retreat, it is normal. After all, this war was first provoked by Dongying, and so was Dayan. victim.

But then again, Dongying has surrendered now, and it is clear on the form of surrender that if Dayan agrees to withdraw, Dongying is willing to pay tribute of property and food every year to show his sincerity, although the food still has gold. There is no shortage of silver treasures and treasures, but Dongying has already said so. If Dayan still invades with troops, people will inevitably gossip, saying that Dayan bullies the weak with the strong, and bullies the few with the more. This is the embarrassment of the emperor. place.

Of course, not everyone agrees with the statement of not withdrawing troops, Yun Changqing advocated that peace is the most important thing.

"Your Majesty, I thought that since Dongying surrendered, he also stated that he would pay tribute every year. As a subordinate state of Dayan, why don't we take this opportunity to establish our prestige, not only let Dongying learn a lesson, but also let everyone in the world know. Dayan will win only because of our strong military strength, not because Dayan bullies the small with the big ones, Dongying attacked Dayan first, it is reasonable for Dayan to repel Dongying, but if it continues to attack, it will become an active attack, How will the world see Dayan? If it is not done well, it will cause alerts in the border towns, and if they join forces to attack, what will happen to Dayan?"

The emperor nodded slightly, fully agreeing with Yun Changqing's thoughts, and it was rare for the two of them to have the same thoughts.

Zheng Yunsheng disagreed: "Your Majesty, I believe that Dongying State made mistakes first. It was their decision to invade Dayan, and now it is their decision to surrender. Then what will our Dayan be regarded as? If we stop here, it is inevitable that the border will be destroyed." Other small countries will not think that Dayan is easy to bully, so what if everyone invades Dayan for no reason in the future? Anyway, if you can’t beat Dayan and surrender, Dayan will be magnanimous and forgive you, Your Majesty, you have to think twice!"

The emperor frowned and nodded again. What Zheng Yunsheng said made sense. If he agreed to Dong Ying's surrender, would outsiders look down on him?
The emperor looked at the prime minister and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think should be done?"

The prime minister stepped forward and cupped his hands to respond: "My Majesty, the old minister thinks that Mr. Zheng's point of view and Lord Yun's point of view are reasonable, but whether peace is the most important or continue to suppress, then you have to think carefully, maybe it is The veteran is getting old and doesn't like those who fight and kill. If he continues to attack, the casualties will definitely not only be the soldiers of Dongying, but our soldiers of Dayan will continue to be in dire straits. The veteran doesn't want to see Our soldiers of Dayan went through life and death for one breath, Dayan has never intended to annex Dongying, so why pretend to be fierce for others to see?"

The emperor said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister means to accept Dongying's surrender?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"What does the prince mean?"

So everyone focused on Yan Beiqin. After all, he was the future emperor of Dayan, and his thoughts were also very important.

Yan Beiqin had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and he had an idea for a long time, and said: "Father, my son was just thinking about what Dayan would get if he continued to attack, and what would Dayan get if he withdrew the troops. The emperor first listens to his ministers to talk about the situation that will usher in the two aspects, and then make a decision."

The emperor nodded: "Let's talk and listen."

"Yes, father." Yan Beiqin glanced around, and said: "Let's talk about continuing to attack, today's letter of surrender can be regarded as not received by Dayan, and continue to attack Dongying, then the cruelty of Dayan will be spread. All over the world."

"His Royal Highness, I do not agree with you. It is obvious that the Dongying Kingdom first invaded Dayan. Why did Dayan become cruel and inhumane when he invaded Dongying?" Zheng Yunsheng argued hard, firming his mind.

Yan Beiqin took it easy and said, "Because the land of Dongying is nothing compared to that of Great Yan. The big Yan actually conquered the small Dongying. The wolfish ambition of Great Yan is clearly revealed. The rest of the border Small countries will naturally panic, thinking of countermeasures, it is not ruled out that small countries on the border will join forces and attack Dayan together."

"His Royal Highness is so sure? How can those small countries have such courage?"

"If it was 20 years ago, maybe I wouldn't have the courage, because at that time all countries were still in a state of stability, and no one dared to act rashly, but you all know that in recent years, small border countries are just around the corner. Let me ask, who would have thought that a small east Ying, to attack Dayan?"

The officials nodded one after another and started whispering. Zheng Yunsheng couldn't say anything to refute, so he pursed his lips unwillingly and closed his mouth.

Yan Beiqin continued: "On the contrary, if we accept Dongying's surrender form, in the eyes of the world, it is not because Dayan is incapable that he agrees to retreat, but because Dayan is magnanimous and letting Dongying go is also showing the world It is announced that there will be no good end for a small country on the border to invade Dayan, Dayan can defend or attack, if it acts rashly, the consequences will be like that of Dongying Kingdom."

"Everyone understands what the prince means. I think it is feasible. Do you have any other opinions?"

The officials looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't speak. The emperor nodded in satisfaction, got up and said: "Dayan has always adhered to the principle that people will not offend me and I will not offend others. This time Dongying invaded Dayan, naturally I will not just count it like this Yes, I will write a letter to ask Dongying to show his sincerity, how to make peace, and how much the annual tribute will be. I want Dongying to send envoys to discuss it before making a decision. Just one letter is enough to make a truce , it's not that easy!"

"The emperor is wise, the prince is wise."
