Chapter 663 This King Only Accepts Surrender
That day, Ning Chen was playing with Du Bu.
Yuan Long hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, someone from the Xiliang royal family has arrived!"
Ning Chen chuckled and said: "The Xiliang royal family is quite tactful... Who is the person?"
Yuan Long leaned over and said respectfully: "The King of Zhenxi!"
Ning Chen was slightly startled. This name sounded familiar. Fang Pu had pretended to be this King of Zhenxi before.
"Where is the person?"
"Outside the camp!"
Ning Chen thought for a moment and said: "Bring him to see me!"
"Yes!"
Yuan Long retreated.
Almost an incense stick of time later, Yuan Long's voice sounded outside the tent: "Your Majesty, the person has been brought here!"
"Come in!"
Yuan Long walked in with the King of Zhenxi.
Ning Chen looked at the King of Zhenxi from Xiliang. He was about fifty years old, a little fat, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and had an extraordinary demeanor.
The King of Zhenxi looked at Ning Chen and was amazed in his heart... What a young man in bright clothes and a fierce horse!
"Greetings to King Daxuan."
Ning Chen got straight to the point, "Are you here on behalf of the Xiliang royal family?"
King Zhenxi nodded, "I came here only for peace talks."
"Peace talks?" Ning Chen frowned and sneered, "Then don't talk, I only accept surrender."
King Zhenxi's face changed slightly.
Ning Chen continued, "Let me tell you my requirements. First, you, the king of Xiliang, must hold the surrender letter and bow your head."
"Second, it's the issue of compensation. My Daxuan's hundreds of thousands of soldiers have worked hard and traveled thousands of miles to Xiliang. The cost of food and horses is not small."
"Third, send a prince to Daxuan as a hostage."
"Fourth, Xiliang's military strength is weak now. If you bow your head, then Daxuan has the responsibility to protect you... So I will station 50,000 troops in Shengguang City to protect Xiliang's safety."
King Zhenxi clenched his fists in his sleeves. These conditions were all a great shame and humiliation for Xiliang.
He looked at Ning Chen, "Are these conditions too harsh?"
"Harsh?" Ning Chen smiled, "It doesn't matter, you can refuse... Let's continue fighting!"
The face of the King of Zhenxi suddenly changed.
He looked at Ning Chen, hesitated for a moment, and said: "We can agree to the first two conditions... But we will never agree to the last two conditions."
Ning Chen sneered: "In that case, let's meet on the battlefield... Yuan Long, see you out!"
"Yes!" Yuan Long looked at the King of Zhenxi, "Please go!"
The old face of the King of Zhenxi flushed.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Ning Chen, "I have to go back and discuss these conditions of the King of Zhenxi with the king."
Ning Chen said indifferently: "Okay, but I don't have much patience... I want a reply in the most time."
The King of Zhenxi sighed helplessly and nodded slightly.
Ning Chen waved his hand.
Yuan Long looked at the King of Zhenxi, "Please go!"
After Yuan Long took the King of Zhenxi away, Ning Chen immediately ordered that the army would set out tomorrow and head to Dingtiancheng.
Ning Chen came to Tan Tai Qing Yue's tent.
"The King of Zhenxi from Xiliang was here just now."
Tan Tai Qing Yue looked at Ning Chen, she really wanted to know the result.
Ning Chen shrugged, "The conversation was not very pleasant. Your Xiliang royal family is both in power and in power. The country is about to perish, and you still want to maintain your dignity. It's ridiculous."
Your conditions must be too harsh, Tan Tai Qing Yue thought.
Ning Chen changed the subject and said, "Which of the princes of Xiliang is the most outstanding?"
Tan Tai Qing Yue thought for a while and said, "Of course it's the current prince!"
"The current prince? What's his name?"
"Tan Tai Xiao."
"So all the Xiliang royal family members have the surname Tan Tai!"
Tan Tai Qing Yue glanced at him, as if to say, isn't this nonsense?
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Tan Tai Xiao, then it's him!"
Tan Tai Qingyue looked at him, "What do you mean by him?"
"One of the conditions I put forward is that you Xiliang send a prince to accompany me back to Daxuan as a hostage... Since Tan Tai Xiao is the best, then it's him!"
Tan Tai Qingyue's pretty face changed slightly. She hurt Tan Tai Xiao with just one sentence.
Ning Chen walked over and sat down at the small low table.
"I've been really tired recently... Little Tan Zi, come and rub my shoulders for me."
Tan Tai Qingyue looked at him coldly.
Ning Chen sneered.
"Little Tan Zi, if you want to be a slave, you must have the awareness of being a slave. If you continue to put on your saintly airs, don't blame me for not knowing how to cherish women... Don't try to provoke me, otherwise you will regret it!"
Tan Tai Qingyue's face was frosty, but she still stood up and came behind Ning Chen and began to rub his shoulders.
Ning Chen's mouth twitched. This woman almost crushed his shoulder.
"Be gentle. Do you know how to serve others? If you don't know, when we return to Daxuan, I will send you to the brothel and let the madam teach you... Brothel women know how to serve others the best, especially men."
Tantai Qingyue stared at the top of Ning Chen's head, her cold eyes flashing with murderous intent.
Ning Chen did not raise his head, and said lightly: "Put away your thoughts. If something happens to me... In less than ten days, your Xiliang capital will be reduced to ruins, people and animals will be killed, and no grass will grow. The earthworms will have to be dug out and split in half vertically, and the ant nests will have to be scalded with boiling water."
Tantai Qingyue's strength in her hands was lighter, and her expression was a little sad.
Xiliang is no longer the Xiliang it used to be. Now the life and death of Xiliang is decided by the young man in front of her.
Ning Chen suddenly stood up, frowned and looked at his shoulder, "I guess every inch of your skin is very delicate, but your hands are too rough... your clothes are getting caught."
Tantai Qingyue was so angry that her body trembled.
If she had a sword in her hand now, she would definitely poke a dozen holes in Ning Chen's body.
She is a martial artist and often holds a sword. It is normal for her hands to have calluses... but it is definitely not as bad as Ning Chen said.
"Don't hold a sword during this period. When your hands become delicate and soft, I will teach you to hold a gun... But not now, your hands are too rough, my gun can't stand it."
Tantai Qingyue was puzzled. Is there any requirement for holding a musket?
Ning Chen left with his hands behind his back.
......
The next morning, the army set out!
Lan Ziyao took away 50,000 troops a few days ago and escorted the prisoners back to the border.
Ning Chen left 10,000 troops to guard Shengguang City, and then led 100,000 troops to Dingtiancheng.
Five days later, the troops were at the gates of the city!
In fact, Xiliang can still gather tens of thousands of troops.
But Xiliang's current military strength is not enough to fight against Daxuan.
Dingtiancheng stationed 10,000 Xiliang troops, and the rest were all guarding the imperial city.
Dingtiancheng, the Xiliang soldiers on the top of the city wall turned pale and their hands and feet became weak when they saw the 100,000 troops stretching all over the ground.
Ning Chen ordered the army to be stationed outside Dingtiancheng.
He gave the Xiliang royal family ten days.
Now five days have passed... If there is no surrender in five days, the 100,000 troops will attack Dingtiancheng, and then the Xiliang capital.
......
Daxuanjing City, the Golden Palace of the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xuan was very happy and laughed out loud without caring about his image.
All the civil and military officials were stunned. What made His Majesty so happy? He didn't even care about his manners.
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "My dear ministers, yesterday I received a report of victory sent back by Ning Chen... He has led his army to the Holy Light City in Xiliang and will soon reach the capital of Xiliang."
The civil and military officials were shocked beyond words and there was an uproar!
