Chapter 1784 Your Majesty, please surrender
"Report!"
"Military advisor, I just came to report that the battle of Xincheng ended five days ago, and Yeon Gaesumun ordered the burning of Xincheng."
"Yesterday early in the morning, we led our army south to the capital of Xincheng."
Xu Shiji was not too anxious at first. He felt that after all, there were tens of thousands of defenders in the new city, and Yeon Gaesumun would not be that easy to break.
Unexpectedly, Xincheng had been captured five days ago.
It’s Xinchengpo, what about Zhao Chen?
Did something happen to him too?
Xu Shiji instantly became gloomy. If something happened to Zhao Chen, it would be really fatal.
"Where is His Highness the King of Han?"
"Can you see him?" Xu Shiji's fists hidden in his sleeves clenched slightly. He was worried that he would hear bad news about Zhao Chen next moment.
The other generals also looked ugly.
I thought that if something happened to the King of Han, people like them would probably not be able to get away with it.
"I haven't seen His Highness the King of Han. There are corpses everywhere in the city. The ruins almost cover the entire new city. There is no way to determine whether His Highness the King of Han..." The messenger did not dare to continue talking at this point.
If something happened to the King of Han, the whole Tang Dynasty would be turned upside down.
"Order the army to march urgently. We must arrive at the new city before midnight tonight." Xu Shiji didn't have time to think too much at this moment, and immediately ordered the army to set off quickly.
"yes!"
The frontier troops marched all the way to the new city.
…
"What are you talking about? Military Advisor Xu led the border troops to Silla?"
"Brother Huang also went to Silla?" Li Ke came all the way from Chang'an to Shacheng just to find Zhao Chen.
As a result, he didn't see a single acquaintance in Shacheng.
Xu Shiji led his troops into Silla, but Zhao Chen actually went to Silla earlier.
Li Ke has been on the road, so it is naturally impossible for the news of Silla to spread everywhere so quickly.
Only eight hundred miles of express service
Only by reporting could Chang'an get the news earlier than him.
"Your Highness, King of Shu, now Silla is fighting everywhere, you should stay in Shacheng to be safer." Shacheng officials advised Li Ke.
This Li Ke is alone. If something happens in Silla, he can't afford it.
But Li Ke is someone who can sit here and wait.
His temperament was naturally restless, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "No need, I will go to Silla by myself."
After that, Li Ke disappeared into the government office.
When Li Ke set off for Silla, a drama of forcing the palace was going on in the capital of Silla.
The king of Silla sat on the king's golden throne in the meeting hall.
In front of him were Silla officials, large and small.
But today, the faces of Silla officials did not show any respect.
Many people even had resentment on their faces.
They already knew that the New City was burned to the ground and the 100,000 New City defenders were wiped out.
Luocheng in the rear was attacked by the coalition forces of Japan and Baekje, and fell into the hands of the coalition forces early yesterday morning.
At this moment, Silla is a broken ship in the sea. It only takes a small wave to capsize.
Silla officials did not want to die in vain.
But it is absolutely impossible to fight against Goguryeo, Japan and Baekje.
Therefore, their only way was to force the King of Silla to surrender to Goguryeo.
They believed that only surrender could save their lives.
As for Silla's foundation, it is not important to them at all.
"Your Majesty the King, I, Silla, no longer have any troops to protect our territory, no matter how stupid
If we continue to resist, we will all die. "
"Your Majesty, please consider the people of Silla and surrender."
"If we don't surrender, neither Goguryeo nor Japan will let us go."
"There are hundreds of thousands of people in the royal capital. Do you really want them to be buried with you?"
The civil servants cried and shouted to persuade the King of Silla.
The military commander said nothing and looked at the King of Silla silently.
They have already discussed that if the king does not agree to surrender, then they will have no choice but to no longer recognize the king.
The King of Silla sat at the top, and he knew that the situation in Silla was now over.
But after all, he didn't want to be the king of a subjugated country.
Moreover, he also received news that Datang had actually sent 100,000 border troops for support.
As long as they wait a little longer, Silla might not have to destroy the country.
But these people in front of him have long since lost any intention of resisting.
"Datang's reinforcements have already set off, we just need to..."
"Your Majesty, do you know whether the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty or the Goguryeo army arrived first?"
"Does Your Majesty have to watch hundreds of thousands of people die at the sword of the Goguryeo army before he realizes that he is wrong?"
The official interrupted the King of Silla.
Faced with the accusations from officials, the King of Silla could not say a word.
He didn't want to surrender, and he didn't want to throw away his ancestral property, but no one in the civil and military dynasties supported him.
That’s it, just follow their wishes.
The King of Silla finally compromised.
"Since you all want to surrender, then just surrender. Tomorrow, I will draft a surrender edict..."
"Father, you cannot surrender!" Before the King of Silla could finish speaking, he saw his son running over in a hurry.
r\u003e When the officials saw the Prince of Silla rushing over, their expressions suddenly changed.
This prince would rather be punished with swords and axes than be taken prisoner.
Their king was so stubborn and unwilling to surrender, a large part of the reason was because of the prince in front of him.
"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense..." A minister quickly stopped the Prince of Silla.
The prince of Silla looked over and pointed at all the ministers present with an angry face: "You guys are so hateful."
"My Silla's hundreds of years of foundation are going to be destroyed by you."
"I'm going to kill you!"
After saying that, the Prince of Silla suddenly drew out his sword.
Prepare to kill one or two officials who want to surrender, hoping this can calm everyone.
But as soon as his sword was swung out, it was split open by a general's sword.
The sword fell to the ground with a clang.
"Your Highness, surrender is the wish of all ministers. Your Highness, please don't make a mistake." The general stared at the Prince of Silla with a cold face.
"Bastard!" Prince Silla was furious, rushed forward, picked up the sword on the ground, and stabbed the general.
"No!" the King of Silla shouted.
But it was too late.
The general's expression was cold and stern. He saw the Prince of Silla stabbing him, raised the sword in his hand and faced him.
The prince of Silla was no match for the general.
When the swords crossed each other, the prince of Silla's chest was pierced by the sword in the general's hand.
Blood dripped slowly along the blade of the sword and onto the floor of the hall.
Turn into little plum blossoms.
"My child!" The King of Silla's eyes were splitting as he looked at his son who had already died of anger in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, please surrender!" However, no one felt the slightest regret for the death of Prince Silla.
