Chapter 807 Surrender without a fight
Shu Kingdom.
Capital.
Above Jiang Mansion.
"The white-clothed army is at the city?"
Xie Qi suddenly became shocked and said angrily: "How is it possible? The general guards Jianmen Pass firmly, how can he be defeated?"
The young man who came to report bowed and said, "There are only more than 5,000 white-clothed troops, not Deng Yin's army, and there is no news of the loss of Jianmen Pass."
Xie Qixing said: "Jianmen Pass has not been lost, so how did the White Army come from?"
The young man whispered: "Not known yet."
Xie Qi took a deep breath and said, "Call the troops and follow me to the city gate."
The young man said bitterly: "Have you forgotten that the military power of the capital's imperial guards is no longer in the hands of the general. It has been handed over to the emperor long before."
"What about the emperor?"
Xie Qi said in a deep voice: "Does the emperor have a decree to impose it?"
The young man whispered: "No order has been given yet."
Xie Qi lowered his head slightly, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Go to find Zhao Xu and ask him to lead his wife and the young master to leave Beijing from the East City Gate. I will see the matter in this capital..."
The young man was shocked and was about to speak when he heard Xie Qi shouting: "Stop talking nonsense, I ask you to find Zhao Xu, gather the men in the mansion, and leave the city quickly, so that you can't delay."
When the young man heard this, he nodded immediately.
...
Royal Palace.
Hu Hao walked out of the imperial study room. He was thin and looked sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked. At this moment, he looked very sad.
"The emperor has an order. Everyone prepares for a moment and wait until the city gate is opened and surrenders to the Liang army."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked, and the audience was shocked.
Hu Hao seemed to be unaware of it, and he slowly walked forward.
The black-clad guard followed behind him and whispered: "What should I do now?"
"What else can I do?" Hu Hao snorted coldly, his tone was full of anger, and he said, "Jiang Bojian, this waste, was actually defeated by Chen Zhiyun to the capital. What a person Chen Zhiyun is like? He is known as the first general in the world. He once defeated hundreds of thousands of Gezhan's army with thousands of white-clothed troops. How could he stop him with more than 10,000 imperial guards in the capital? Instead of defending the city for a few days, fighting a tragic ending, and making the other party want to slaughter the city, it would be better to surrender now. Now... go back to your house, hide all my treasures in the treasure house, take out ten pieces and put them in the study. After I go back, I can present them to Chen Zhiyun, and maybe I can win a wealth in the Kingdom of Liang in the future."
The black-clad guard nodded slightly when he heard this, and asked again, "What about you?"
Hu Hao said coldly: "I have to find another group of people to kill Jiang Bojian's wife, children, and children, and give them to the generals of Liang State... I think Jiang Bojian has blocked Liang State for many years and is deeply hated by Liang State. If I kill his whole family and offer it to Liang State, it may be more useful than gold, silver and jewelry."
The black-clad guard agreed and said, "This is not bad."
...
Jiang Mansion.
The Jiang family's power in the capital was operated by Mrs. Jiang in the early years, and it was quite powerful. However, later, General Jiang Bojian was dismissed from military power and returned to the capital. She gave up her power and took care of her husband and children with peace of mind.
This time Jiang Bojian rushed to the front line, and Xie Qi took over the burden of the capital.
During this period, Mrs. Jiang was considered leisurely. At this moment, she was in the backyard, accompanying the young master of the Jiang family.
This dignified, generous, noble and elegant lady also noticed a strange voice outside.
"What's going on?"
Mrs. Jiang frowned slightly.
Zhao Xu came in from outside, bowed slightly, and bowed, saying, "The white-clothed army is coming to the city."
Mrs. Jiang suddenly shook and her face turned pale.
In an instant, she thought of many aspects and felt a slump in her heart.
"General..." Mrs. Jiang covered her mouth, her breathing seemed to be stagnant.
"The general should be fine, Jianmen Pass has not yet been lost."
Zhao Xu hurriedly said, "Chen Zhiyun's soldiers came from the sky and didn't know where they came from, but there should be no mistake in Jianmen Pass. Now Xie Qi has already walked towards the city gate. I will protect my wife and the young master, head to the east gate and leave the capital. After this matter, I will return to the capital."
"Li Jing..." Mrs. Jiang was born in a literary family and was a scholarly family since she was a child. She is not unfamiliar with various power schemes. She took a deep breath and barely calmed down, saying, "Is it already so serious?"
Zhao Xu said: "It's not serious, it can't defeat thousands of people. There are more than 10,000 imperial guards in the city, and the geographical advantage of occupying the city walls should be fine."
Mrs. Jiang shook her head slightly and said, "Xie Qi has always been steady. If it weren't for not being sure, he wouldn't let the people from the Jiang family leave the capital easily, leaving any handle in the court. Xie Qi must have realized that the capital was difficult to defend, so that you would let us lead us mother and son away..."
Zhao Xu's expression changed again and again, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Mrs. Jiang said, "Since Xie Qi has made such a decision, I, a woman, cannot make a decision, and cannot be indecisive. Take the young master over there, I will pack up important things, and let you go."
When Zhao Xu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and bowed, "Thank you for your understanding, Madam."
Mrs. Jiang lifted her long skirt and left in a hurry.
...
West City Gate.
Xie Qi brought people to come in a hurry.
It was already noisy and noisy, extremely messy, and there was vague chaos.
At the gate of the city was General Fu, who was guarding the city. However, at this moment, General Fu, holding a volume of imperial edict in his hand, his face changed again and again, as if he was angry, angry, helpless, and bitter, extremely complicated, all manifested on his face.
"What's going on?"
Xie Qi was suddenly frightened and walked forward.
General Fu obviously knew Xie Qi, so he looked at him, finally sighed, and handed over the imperial edict in his hand.
Xie Qi took the imperial edict, glanced at it, and stayed there immediately.
"Open the city gate and welcome Liang Jun."
General Fu said quietly: "This is surrendering without fighting."
As a veteran, he has experienced many battles and has suffered countless blood.
When he was old, he defended the city with more than 10,000 people. Facing thousands of soldiers and horses, he surrendered without fighting.
In the evaluation of later generations, I am afraid that this old face will not be able to hold on, and I am afraid that the achievements accumulated in my life will become a laughing stock.
For a general, surrendering without a fight is even more humiliating than dying on the battlefield.
Xie Qi held the imperial edict and his face changed. In an instant, he seemed to have anger, hatred, and murderous intent. All the thoughts appeared on his face.
The general and others were still on the front line to resist Deng Yin.
Countless soldiers are still selling their heads on the front line, sprinkling their blood to defend their country.
There are still countless traces of passionate blood infection on this land over the years.
But now, all of this is empty talk.
"ridiculous……"
Xie Qi closed his eyes, raised his head to the sky, and said, "Bastard!"
General Fu clenched his fists and loosened them, and then clenched them again and again.
Just then, a loud voice came from behind.
"The Emperor is here!"
After this voice, another voice was answered and said, "Open the city gate quickly and welcome General Chen!"
