Chapter 1263

Cui Shanzhong is not reconciled!

He is full of tears!

The army was defeated like a mountain, Cui Shanzhong's feeling of powerlessness... no one can understand.

"The old general can't hold it anymore! The general situation is gone! We have to quickly retreat to the palace! Maybe we can hold on for a while! The subordinates will send someone out to ask for help!" Seeing that Cui Shanzhong was not moving, the deputy general of the old general Cui said loudly, "The old general can't hesitate anymore! We withdraw most of our troops and return to the palace now, maybe we can defend until the reinforcements come!"

can't last...

Cui Shanzhong knows!

Even if they return to the palace now, it is just a futile struggle of a trapped beast.

When he, Cui Zhongshan, was in command, he sent dispatch orders to each city to dispatch troops!

Those who are willing to come have come, and those who don't want to come will hear nothing.

Not to mention, now that the Allied Forces of Great Zhou and Yan Kingdom have invaded Yunjing, the defenders of other cities may be wondering whether they surrendered to Great Zhou or Yan after hearing the news!

Who would be willing to strike a stone with an egg, and come to rescue him with a force that is not even enough for the Zhou army and the Yan army to squeeze their teeth!

"Report! The Kingdom of Yan is attacking the city at the east gate!"

"Report! The Allied Forces of the Yan State of the Great Zhou Dynasty are attacking Ximen!"

"Report! Da Zhou is attacking the South Gate!"

The battle reports were continuously sent to the old general Cui Shanzhong and Li Tianjiao in the palace. The soldiers in Xiliang heard that the city gate was surrounded everywhere, and they all felt scared to fight.

Regardless of whether it is Xiliang soldiers or soldiers from other countries, in fact, what is being fought in the war is morale! What is morale... is hope!

Or from their invincible generals!

Or it may be because their deadly battle can win a glimmer of life for the people behind them!

Or from the victory is in sight!

But what does Xiliang have?

Their old general Cui Shanzhong is a famous general, but he has not led troops for many years, and he is over eighty years old... On the battlefield, he often shows a state of powerlessness.

To protect the people of Xiliang? However, every time Da Zhou captured a city, he never slaughtered the city. Instead, he gave food to the people, distributed land and houses, implemented new policies, and treated the people as the people of Da Zhou! Many Xiliang people who knew the kindness of the Great Zhou were attracted to defect to the Great Zhou. Only a few people feared that the Great Zhou would be massacred, and fled to the south of Xiliang early.

Hope for victory? Now Xiliang Yunjing is besieged on all sides, and the city gate has even been opened, so there is no hope of victory, even if they return to the palace, it will only be a stubborn resistance!

"Head the soldiers back to the palace and preserve their strength!" After Cui Shanzhong gave the order, he turned his horse's head and galloped towards the palace, preparing to go back and re-arm and defend the palace.

Now Cui Shanzhong only hopes to wait until the emperor of the Great Zhou, Bai Qingyan... can come before the food in their palace is exhausted, then they Xiliang will send Bai Qingyu back to the Great Zhou as a gift, and they will be a minister to the Great Zhou!

·

In the palace, the sound of killing outside could still be heard.

The eunuchs and maids kneeling in the palace were trembling and did not dare to raise their heads. Occasionally, if there was a piercing scream, they would tremble, for fear that the Zhou army and the Yan army had already fought outside the Xiliang palace gate.

Li Tianjiao knelt at the top of the main hall, looking down at Bai Qingyu, who had woken up but was obviously still very weak. He just sat on the shoulders that carried him so loosely, covering his heart with his hands, not in the slightest. Without the awareness of being a prisoner, the half of the cheeks are warm and handsome, and the half of the cheeks are ferocious and burnt. It just makes Li Tianjiao inexplicably uncomfortable, and even feels contemptuous.

"It seems... General Bai feigned surrender to Yunjing City with the mentality of seeing death as home." She put her hands on the edge of the table and said with a smile, "Or, is there nothing to fear?"

Bai Qingyu raised her eyelids to look at Li Tianjiao, and her hoarse and terrifying voice sounded unhurriedly: "Where is the emperor of Xiliang talking? Xiliang and Yan Guo colluded and betrayed Da Zhou. After being captured, he was seriously injured and almost died, so how could he be confident?"

Li Tianjiao smiled coldly: "Listen to the killing sound outside, isn't this just... Da Zhou is attacking the city? Da Zhou is attacking the city. You are the last trump card in our hands in Xiliang. will kill you!"

"The emperor of Xiliang is really flattering you." Bai Qingyu spoke slowly.

"I don't want to betray General Bai anymore. Now that Xiliang is gone, I only want to survive in Xiliang, and I am willing to surrender to Dazhou!" Li Tianjiao stood up and walked towards Bai Qingyu from above the high ranks, "Still Hope... General Bai thinks that Xiliang saved your life no matter what, and he will bring a message to the emperor of Dazhou after he returns. Zhou is willing to not garrison troops in Xiliang after he becomes a minister in Xiliang, and Xiliang will be exempted from paying tribute for ten years, and Xiliang will bow down to Zhou!"

Bai Qingyu lowered her eyelids to hide the coldness in her eyes, rubbed her fingers, and said slowly: "Yunjing is surrounded by enemies, and the destruction of the country is just around the corner, Your Majesty thinks... Xiliang still has room to bargain with Da Zhou? "

Li Tianjiao had already walked down from the high ranks, looked at Bai Qingyu intently and said with a smile: "It is said that the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring, but if you ask General Bai to say a word or two, General Bai will not refuse Bar!"

"No matter how big your majesty's hat is, Bai Qingyu might be powerless..." Bai Qingyu said with a slight smile.

Li Tianjiao laughed, she walked with her hands behind her back, turned half a circle around Bai Qingyu, suddenly bent down, and said on top of Bai Qingyu's head: "General Bai is the younger brother of the Great Zhou Emperor. The weight in his heart was so high that the emperor of Zhou Dynasty was so shocked to give birth prematurely when he heard the news that General Bai had been captured alive. Cool, you can see how important General Bai is in the heart of the Great Zhou Emperor..."

Bai Qingyu's palms tightened suddenly, sister was born prematurely? !

Is it because he knew the news of his arrest, or... did he really think that Yan Guo betrayed Da Zhou, what about Xiao Rongyan? Didn't he send the news to sister?

Seeing Bai Qingyu's slightly stiff body, Li Tianjiao's smile deepened: "If General Bai agrees, I... can send General Bai out of the palace now."

Contrary to what the old general Cui Shanzhong thought, since Li Tianjiao knew that the Great Zhou Yan Kingdom had joined forces to attack the city and had opened the east and north gates, there was no point in holding on to Bai Qingyu and other Bai Qingyan.

It's better to send Bai Qingyu out, first stop the war with Da Zhou, and announce to the world that he is a vassal of Da Zhou, then...Yan Kingdom will attack Xiliang if it invades Da Zhou's territory.

This... is Xiliang's lifeline!

Otherwise, relying on the Xiliang Imperial Palace, which has only a small amount of food, may not be able to last for a few days.

Now that this is the general trend, Li Tianjiao doesn't want to let Xiliang's soldiers make fearless sacrifices anymore. After all, as long as they can talk about not paying tribute for ten years and not stationing troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty, she can still develop slowly by relying on these troops!
