Chapter 1463: Unable to Be a Gentleman
The next morning, Yun Zheng brought his guards to the outskirts of Gongbu City.
They even deliberately raised a few more flags.
The big word "cloud" on the general's flag is particularly eye-catching.
"Shout!"
Yun Zheng gave the order.
"Yes!"
Lin Ji took the order and immediately ran to the front of the team, shouting, "Shout as loud as you can, in unison..."
After Lin Ji started, the guards immediately began shouting loudly.
"King Fa Qiang, listen to me! I am Yun Zheng, the regent king of Daqian. I will give you three days to surrender. If you refuse to surrender after three days, I will summon the thunder to help you..."
With everyone shouting in unison, countless voices merged into a torrent and flowed into the ears of men, women, young and old in the city.
King Fa Qiang stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the word "cloud" on the big flag fluttering in the wind from afar, his heart filled with fear.
Yunzheng!
This prince, who is known as the best general in the world, is a god of war who has never been defeated since he took command of the army.
Destroy the country at any time!
Countless kings, princes, generals and ministers died at his hands.
He really led the army to attack in person!
Although the enemy's strength is not particularly large, as long as Yun Zheng is the commander-in-chief, they will never dare to take it lightly even if the enemy has only a thousand people.
What's more, Yun Zheng can also summon thunder from the sky to help in the battle!
This matter has long been widely circulated in Xiqu.
Although they had never seen how Yun Zheng summoned the heavenly thunder, they had heard all kinds of miraculous rumors.
Some people say that Yun Zheng summoned thunder from the sky and easily broke through the heavily guarded Turtleback City of Dayue.
Some people also said that Yun Zheng once summoned thunder from the sky to kill the barbarian king of the northern barbarians.
There are even rumors that Yun Zheng is the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Thunder God...
Although they were skeptical about many rumors, those rumors became more and more outrageous as they spread.
Many people even believe it firmly.
King Fa Qiang didn't know how many of the ministers in Gongbu City believed these rumors.
But from the fear on the faces of the soldiers guarding the city, we can guess something.
Faced with this Prince Daqian who could destroy a country at will, their morale had already begun to plummet before the war even started.
They didn't even dare to think about going out of the city to fight.
Even Yu Bolun, who had a grudge against Yun Zheng for murdering his father, did not dare to have such an idea.
守！
Still drop!
This is an issue they urgently need to consider.
It is easy to surrender.
As long as he says surrender, I believe not many people will object.
But he was still a little reluctant to surrender.
After all, Xiqu still has hundreds of thousands of troops. He surrenders before the battle even starts?
No matter how you think about it, it's a bit unwilling!
Moreover, he still has some patriotism in his heart.
Otherwise, he would not have supported Chinpu so much and only kept such a small number of troops.
But if he doesn't surrender, if Gongbu is defeated by Yun Zheng, he will be reduced from a king to a prisoner.
In addition, he was also worried that if he did not surrender, those nobles who wanted to surrender would kill him!
For some nobles, it doesn’t matter who rules Xiqu.
As long as they can ensure their own interests!
At this moment, King Fa Qiang was struggling fiercely with both his conscience and his desires.
Yu Bolun saw the struggle of King Faqiang and immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you can go back to the palace to rest first. Leave the defense of the city to me! As long as Yu Bolun is alive, I will never let the enemy break through Gongbu!"
"Yu Bolun, don't brag!"
A Fa Qiang noble snorted coldly: "First take a look at the words on the enemy's flag, then ask yourself how much you are capable of!"
"that is!"
Another person immediately agreed: "Since Yun Zheng took command, he has never lost a battle! The Prairie Pearl Jia Yao, Prince Lou Yi of Dayue, King Gui Fang, Yu Tai of Qiuchi, which one of them is not a hero? What is the result? Forget about defeating Yun Zheng, has anyone ever gotten the slightest advantage from Yun Zheng?"
"How can you say such things?" Another person tried to help. "Yu Bolun could have fled back to the royal city, but he stayed to help us defend Gongbu. How could you treat him like this?"
When the others heard what this person said, they immediately became unhappy.
"We are only telling the truth!"
"Yu Bo's courage is commendable, but whether we can defend Gongbu is not up to him."
"You are afraid before the battle. You want to surrender to Yun Zheng and keep your wealth and glory..."
"I am thinking about the king!"
"I think you are thinking about yourself!"
"..."
Soon, the people on the city wall started arguing.
Some people advocated opening the city and surrendering directly, while others advocated defending to the end.
However, the capitulationists still formed the majority.
The argument between the two sides became more and more intense, escalating from initial personal attacks to simple physical conflict.
Listening to the quarrels among the people, King Fa Qiang felt extremely overwhelmed.
"Enough! Stop making noise!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight on the top of the city wall, King Fa Qiang could not help but roar: "The enemy is just outside the city, but you are fighting here. Aren't you afraid that the enemy will laugh at you?"
So angry that the Qiang King was angry!
Yun Zheng just sent people to make announcements outside the city, and their internal situation became so chaotic.
What should they do if Yun Zheng officially launches the attack?
The army's morale is unstable and low!
Although they could barely muster 30,000 troops to defend the city including the slave army, given the current situation, it would be difficult to defend the city even with 100,000 troops, let alone 30,000 troops.
Under the roar of King Fa Qiang, both sides finally shut up.
However, both sides disliked each other.
Although the conflict was stopped, the gap between them had already been formed.
King Fa Qiang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Yu Bolun, the defense of the city will be temporarily handed over to you! The rest of you, follow me back to the palace to discuss countermeasures!"
Now, this is all we can do!
Let’s guard it first!
Didn’t Yun Zheng give them three days to consider?
Whether to defend or surrender, decide as soon as possible!
If this continued, he was worried that they would fall into civil strife before the enemy attacked the city.
After leaving Yu Bolun in charge of guarding the city, King Fa Qiang led everyone away.
Yun Zheng put away his clairvoyance and ordered the guards to stop shouting.
With his clairvoyance, he could see the situation on the enemy's city wall clearly.
Well, it seems that there is a lot of chaos within the Fa Qiang!
If this is the case, we can give King Fa Qiang a little more time.
It would be best if you could persuade them to surrender directly.
Just as Yun Zheng was leading his guards back to the camp, a horse galloped over.
Soon, the knight came in front of Yun Zheng and quickly dismounted: "Your Majesty, General Zeng has an urgent report!"
Lin Ji had a bad feeling in his heart, and quickly took the urgent report and passed it to Yun Zheng.
When Yun Zheng saw the urgent report sent by Zeng Guang, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "It seems that we really have to launch an attack on Gongbu in advance!"
Damn it!
Why is it so difficult to be a gentleman for once?
"what happened?"
Miaoyin asked with a frown.
Yun Zheng replied: "Zeng Guang urgently reported that a reinforcement force of about 30,000 troops is coming to Gongbu from the direction of Xiqu King City! According to their marching speed, it is estimated that they will encounter Zeng Guang's troops within three days!"
