1015: It's Better to Surrender (2)
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! The seventh prince said sadly, "We were caught by the willow thief... and now we are her prisoners..."
He was seriously injured, the arrow wound on his shoulder was full of filth, if not treated properly, it might fester and rot.
Hachioji's heart skipped a beat, as if he didn't believe this reality.
"We were captured?"
He is not a naive person, and if he falls into the hands of the enemy, the end can be imagined.
The Seventh Prince nodded heavily, "En."
"In that case..." The Eighth Prince hurriedly asked, "Is there any movement in the imperial court?"
He and the Seventh Prince are both princes of the imperial court, representing the face and majesty of the imperial court in Northern Xinjiang. If they are humiliated, the imperial court will lose its face.
It is impossible for the imperial court to allow the enemy to humiliate them, and they will definitely send someone to negotiate with the willow thief and negotiate a deal to exchange the two.
The Seventh Prince knew what the Eighth Prince was thinking, so he slowly shook his head after a while, refusing the other party's expectations, and said sadly, "The willow thief has no intention of seeing us so far, and the imperial court is controlled by the sixth. Someone come to redeem us?"
The Seventh Prince has been supporting the Eighth Prince for free, and the Eighth Prince is still a strong contender for the acting king.
The two are the sixth prince's confidantes, how could the latter give up his interests in exchange for the two?
As everyone knows, the imperial court has exploded.
The sixth prince hadn't slept for two days. He was afraid that if he closed his eyes, the enemy would break through the royal city and enter the imperial court.
After not sleeping for a long time, his nerves are extremely fragile, and the ministers below are still chattering, making his brain ache.
"Noisy Noisy—Apart from Noisy, is there anyone who can relieve your loneliness?"
The sixth prince broke out emotionally, and the angry voice made all the officials quiet for a moment, not daring to speak.
"You! You stand up and say it!" The sixth prince pointed at a minister casually, "If you can't tell how ugly you are, I will kill you!"
All the ministers were as quiet as chickens, and no one dared to be such an early bird.
Only the father-in-law of the sixth prince dared to stand up. He was the main combat faction. The only child, Hakei, died in battle. He wanted to avenge his son.
The sixth prince felt a little guilty when facing his father-in-law, so he barely suppressed his manic emotions and listened patiently to what the other person said.
The old man has only one core in the whole story - war!
As for the strategic layout, he didn't mention a word. He was a reckless man who only had muscles in his mind.
war?
What fight?
Hit the willow thief with his head?
They have been blocked into the royal city by willow thieves, they are as useless as bastards for ten thousand years, their morale is extremely low, and they cannot be defeated at all.
The sixth prince endured the urge to vomit blood in his heart, and on the surface, he wanted to keep the old man steady, and now he still had to rely on the old man.
"Report to King Dai that an arrow has been shot from outside the city, and there is a letter from the willow thief on it."
The sixth prince cheered up, and said quickly, "Read it quickly, and see what it says."
The ministers of Northern Xinjiang didn't know many Han scripts, so in the end they had to pass the letter to the third prince and ask him to read it for him.
The third prince opened the letter and read it, his face was gloomy like ink, something seemed to be choked in his throat, and he couldn't read a single word in a daze.
"Third son—even you want to disobey the orders of the lonely king?"
The sixth prince was furious, and his anger made him short of breath, his chest heaved violently, and he panted like a cow.
The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then read out the above content with difficulty.
The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince have become prisoners of the willow thief. If the Northern Xinjiang imperial court wants to redeem them, they must surrender in Kaesong—the surrender of Kaesong is not over yet, and the imperial court will become a prisoner—if they agree to this condition , she only cleans up the imperial court and does not hurt other nobles.
This is an ultimatum issued by Jiang Pengji, if Bei Jiang doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
"Get out—give it all to the lonely one—" The sixth prince lost control of his emotions. He got up from the throne, rushed to the third prince with strides, grabbed the letter in his hand, and tore it into pieces in twos and twos, "She Liu Xi Who do you think you are? How dare you make such a threat!"
The royal court of Northern Xinjiang is the most noble race in Northern Xinjiang.
According to the genealogy records, they are the descendants of the gods believed in in northern Xinjiang, and their blood is extremely noble.
Don't think that only the aristocratic families in the Central Plains pay attention to blood, and the barbarians in northern Xinjiang care more about blood.
The imperial court of Northern Xinjiang is descended from gods, they were born to control the creatures of the land, and mere mortals still want to control their life and death?
absurd!
However, the descendants of the gods, to put it bluntly, are putting gold on their own faces.
If not, how could the royal family be able to overwhelm other families in northern Xinjiang and become the royal family?
The third prince looked at the crazy and furious appearance of the sixth prince, and asked coldly, "If you shouldn't, what should the seventh and eighth do?"
The sixth prince pulled out the dagger at his waist angrily, and said to the third prince, "Gu is the acting king, you are just courtiers. You don't solve problems for Gu, but ask Gu what to do? Waste—all are waste—Gu want What's the use of your trash?"
The third prince looked at each other coldly, he knew - the brother in front of him was about to be driven crazy.
The courtroom was chaotic, and everyone was noisy and had no idea.
On the second day, a mobile arrow tower was pushed hundreds of steps away from the royal city, with two naked people hanging from it.
It was the Seventh Prince and Eighth Prince who were half dead.
Around their necks are two long strips with a few big characters written on them.
A long strip reads - [When the two princes died]
Another long strip reads——[Our army breaks the city, and you wait for the day when the lord heads]
At the end, the family emblem of the Liu family was painted, and the arrogance and arrogance rushed to the face.
Seeing this, the guards on the wall of the king's city were so frightened that their legs became weak, and they hurriedly sent the news back to the imperial court.
The Sixth Prince sat on the spot in a daze, his face was too dark to look at, and the courtiers arguing under the tent couldn't bring him back to his senses.
"On behalf of the king, the old minister is willing to volunteer to fight."
"...Instead of being humiliated, it's better to integrate and go out of the city to fight to the death with the willow thief!"
The old man was bent on avenging his son, who was the only seed in his lineage.
Now that his only son is dead, he is equivalent to cutting off his sons and grandchildren. Rather than being humiliated by the enemy while alive, it is better to fight a quick battle in Kaesong.
The old man regards death as home and is willing to fight to the death for the royal family, but other nobles are not willing.
Why die when you can live?
How much is a backbone worth?
They don't pay attention to etiquette, justice, shame, filial piety, loyalty and trust.
As long as they are still alive, they can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, but it is just a change of loyal master.
If surrender can save their lives, why should they be buried with the royal family?
"Why don't you—let's surrender—" An old official said anxiously, his voice was not loud, but he attracted everyone's attention, and he said boldly, "Now that the willow thieves are in full swing, it will be sooner or later that the city will be broken. Instead of increasing casualties, it is better to—"
Before he finished speaking, a white light flashed in the air, his neck felt cold, and hot blood spattered all over the ground.
The third prince put the knife back into its scabbard, and said with a gloomy expression, "Surrender without a fight, are you still tough men from northern Xinjiang?"
If Master Wu Liba is still there, he will definitely fight to the end, why would he have the idea of bowing to the enemy?
