Chapter 9 What’s wrong with being a dog?

Weighing a big man?

To be honest, the land in the city of Dahan cannot be sold for a good price.

Yang Zhong didn't dare to answer, but he kowtowed repeatedly and bled.

"This piece of shit, I will confess everything through my words and deeds."

Liu Ke stood up and kicked the head of the Donghu man in the second wooden box until it was bone-like.

"He said that you, old master, have been in contact with Donghu for many years and are willing to surrender to Kaicheng."

"As the saying goes, knowing your destiny and acting accordingly, and doing everything in your power, what I did was going against nature."

Liu Ke helped Yang Zhong tidy up his clothes that were messy due to his repeated obeisances:

"What the old master did is right. The Han Dynasty is dead. If Kaicheng surrenders, I can also become a wealthy man named Anlehou without losing my bloodline. The old master should be able to save the Han Dynasty!"

There is nothing wrong with the logic. In the fictional world that Liu Ke lives in, there is no Sima Yi swearing to Luo Shui. Most of the kings of subjugated countries can do well. When they are unable to make a comeback, surrendering the city to gain more benefits and preserve the Han Dynasty is the best choice.

.

Yang Zhong raised his head, thinking it was irony. In his sunken eye sockets, two lines of clear tears flowed together with the blood on his forehead:

"I have faults, I have faults, I have faults!"

"What's wrong with the Grand Master? What's wrong with being a dog for the Donghu people?"

Liu Ke handed the wooden box containing Yu Wenbai's head to Yang Zhong:

"Since the old master has been in contact with Donghu for a long time, let's continue. This is my sincerity. I leave it to King Zuoxian of Donghu. I am willing to open the city and surrender."

Yang Zhongqian was immediately stunned by Liu Ke's words.

You, the emperor, behave like a wolf warrior. As soon as you came to power, you killed all the powerful ministers and set about clearing the imperial court, but then you said you wanted to surrender?

Qing Yuwenbai’s head is a gift to the Donghu people?

It really makes sense. After killing the fiercest and most capable general, the Donghu people have no fear at all. This sincerity could not be more sincere.

But that’s not right. If Yu Wen was really wanted to surrender, he would have provided the Dong Hu secret agent with food and drink. Why is there only one head left?

Moody, unpredictable, unpredictable!

Liu Ke couldn't help him think too much and said seriously:

"Measure the material resources of the great Han and win the favor of Donghu. My life will be entirely entrusted to the old master."

"Old Minister"

Yang Zhong had no choice but to bow and say: "I will live up to your majesty's trust. I will make an oath of alliance with King Zuoxian of Donghu when I leave!"

"Go ahead and leave the city secretly. Don't let others know. If the civil and military forces in the DPRK know that I am going to surrender to Donghu, they may surrender faster than me. If things get messed up, there is no guarantee what will happen."

"yes."

Yang Zhong cupped his hands and didn't even have time to wipe the blood from his forehead. Now he understood.

The emperor was cowardly, so he killed Yuwen and surrendered, not to gain time to eliminate Chao Gang and take control of the government, but to gain time to surrender, fearing that trouble would occur before the surrender.

After all, there are many people who jump over the wall or break the jar.

If someone takes advantage of the chaos to hijack the emperor, or even raises the Donghu Yi flag to launch a rebellion before the Han Dynasty surrenders, the surrender of the city will be in vain!

To put it bluntly, it was a game of life and death to see who could surrender faster. Yang Zhong suddenly felt extremely anxious and shouldered a heavy responsibility.

Liu Ke personally sent Yang Zhong out of the palace, and suddenly turned to ask the guards guarding outside the palace:

"Are you afraid of me or Donghu?"

The guards did not squint their eyes and were still wary of their surroundings. At the same time, they respectfully replied: "I'm afraid of your Majesty."

"Afraid of Your Majesty?"

Liu Ke chuckled: "Your Majesty is not a tiger or wolf, so why should you be afraid?"

He looked at Yang Zhong's retreating figure and murmured:

"Surrender the city? Pledge of alliance?"

"The Donghu people are barbarians, a bunch of underfed dogs. If they come to our Central Plains, even if they become Chinese for twenty years, will they still abide by moral restraints and pay attention to alliances and oaths?"

Then he walked into the palace with his hands behind his back: "I won't talk about it anyway."

A few days later, Qi Yangou, King Zuoxian of the Eastern Hu Dynasty, heard about Yang Zhong's intention and quickly led the elite cavalry in person, taking the lead and marching directly to the gate of Qiongzhou City.

The people in the city are panic-stricken, the markets in every street are in depression, the doors and windows of the houses on the streets are closed, and not a single bird can fly out of the four gates in the east, west, north and south.

Qiongzhou City is not prosperous, but for a while, the sound was actually banned.

In Dongshi, the fortune-telling Taoists did not have the immortal spirit of the past, and people did not have much respect. Even the Dharma flag was left in half after being pushed around.

In the West Market, the stalls shouting and hawking were bumped into by people coming and going. Coins and broken silver were scattered all over the floor. It was all for nothing.

Not to mention children, even adult men were so frightened that they panicked, or held their heads in their hands, trembling with tears streaming down their cheeks.

This day has come, and everyone knows the cruelty and barbarity of the Donghu people.

Every time a city is conquered, it must be plundered. Not to mention ordinary civilians, even aristocratic families cannot avoid this.

If you are a woman, as long as you have a little bit of beauty, you will not be able to escape from the poisonous hands. What's worse, you will be like a wolf and a tiger who will not choose food when you are hungry.

Outside Qiongzhou City, looking around, there are only more than ten thousand Donghu cavalry led by Qi Yangou.

In Qiongzhou City, there are a total of 50,000 forbidden troops, all of which have been accumulated over the years. Although they have lost more than they have won, they can still be regarded as elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles.

Logically speaking, with rich experience, relying on the city, and supplemented by the military formations that the Han army is best at, there is no problem if one can be used as two, or even as three, or as four.

With the numbers suppressed, there is no need to be afraid of the more than 10,000 Donghu vanguard cavalry. Just hold on and it will be difficult for the cavalry to attack the city.

But after twenty years of defeat, they lost their confidence long ago. Once the Donghu people came to the city, the city would look like this.

The generals in the army are also timid.

"The Han Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the world. How can we, the generals of the Han family, still fear the mere Donghu barbarians?"

Only Yue Shaoqian, who was ordered to command the three armies, did not take a step back.

The warriors are all trying to persuade you, do you think you are Yu Wenbai?

If it were Yu Wenbai standing at the top of the city, his armor covered with knife marks, his tall and burly figure and his rough voice could boost the morale of the Han generals a lot, giving them the courage to fight against Dong Hu.

But this Yue Shaoqian, who was born as a civil servant and has an ordinary figure? Where are his abdominal muscles? Where are his chest muscles?

It’s not that everyone doesn’t like it, it’s just a fact.

He was just a scholar who gained the emperor's attention by virtue of his loyalty to the emperor, and luckily took over the military power. He could be called a loyal minister, but he could never be called a good general.

Some generals even felt sulky.

Now that Yuwen is gone, the military power should be handed over to generals like them who know the art of war. Apart from being loyal, Yue Shaoqian doesn't know how to lead troops. Does he have that ability?!

The emperor only distinguishes between loyal and treacherous, not right and wrong!

I saw Yue Shaoqian holding his sword high and shouting:

"How can a dignified man abandon the Han Dynasty and join the barbarians? If the city is destroyed, he will die!"

"Jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed; bamboo can be burned but its joints cannot be destroyed. Even if the body dies, the name can be immortalized in history, so there is nothing to fear!"

"Those who are timid will be killed!"

"Must kill!"

"Must kill!"

"Must kill!"

Everyone was shocked. The people who responded to Yue Shaoqian were actually soldiers from the third army.

Military morale available?!!

What mysterious magic did he use to completely convince the soldiers to dare to fight in a few days?

"Report! Yue Shaobao, a car drove out of the city and headed towards the Donghu Formation!!"

Yue Shaoqian straightened his body, exuding a warrior temperament and full of murderous intent. He was able to cross the city gate and force the defenders out of the city. He must be a high official, and he was just in time to use the sacrificial flag!

"Who takes it? Ten clans should be killed!"

"It's Your Majesty. Your Majesty"
