Chapter 1334       Yu Di

The shouts of killing in Lingzhou City have gradually subsided. In the torches held high on all major streets, batches of Qin soldiers were running forward, carrying neat armor rubbing.

Su Yi was standing beside the main street. Soon after, a general trotted over and bowed with his fists and said, "Reported to Su Shuai Su, the various officials and their residences of the ministers in Lingzhou, have all been controlled by our army."

"Yeah." Su Yi nodded and said in a calm voice: "The four sects are sent to the city before Lingzhou is completely pacified and the king has issued an order."

"No!" The general took the order and left.

Lingwang Palace.

The majestic palace complex has no bright lights of the past and looks particularly quiet tonight.

Outside the palace, there were countless black armored and red tassels gathered, and heavy troops surrounded them.

In the previous period, most of the imperial guards of the Ling Kingdom were transferred to the front line, but some were guarding the royal palace.

At the palace gate, the imperial guards were pale, many of them had cold sweat on their foreheads, and many of them had Adam's apples sliding, constantly swallowing their saliva, and their hands holding the long halberd were tight and loose, loose and tight. They stared at the front, but their feet were rubbing involuntarily, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

Outside the palace gate, there were many soldiers and armor, and the crossbowman was in his position. A Qin general was asking for instructions on whether to issue an order to attack.

With the current Lingwang Palace garrison, the Qin army only needs one round of attack to enter the palace, but Peng Shuang said: "The king clearly ordered the Dead Lingwang Palace to surround the Dead Lingwang Palace and not make a strong attack for the time being, but he still needs to maintain a state of fighting and not relax at all."

"I understand!" Qin general clasped his fists and shook his voice.

At the same time, Lingwang Palace and Yuming Palace.

The Ling King was sitting tired behind the desk, covering his mouth with a handkerchief, and constantly coughing.

His face was very pale, exhausted, and his health was almost gone.

Cheng Ping and Murong Hongye stood below, and no one spoke, and there was only the intermittent coughing of the Spirit King at the scene.

In this situation, no matter how smart he is, he is no longer able to make things happen. Cheng Ping cannot come up with any countermeasures.

Murong Hongye lowered his head slightly and thoughtfully. What he was thinking about now was not how to resist the Qin army, but about his concerns about his future fate.

It was not until he coughed a few more times that the Ling King put away his bloody handkerchief and said, "It has come to this point, and I know that there is no way. But the century-old foundation of Ling Kingdom and the achievements of the ancestors in the development of the ancestors will be destroyed by my hands. I will not be afraid of death, but what kind of face can I face my ancestors and ancestors?"

This passage is very sad.

Murong Hongye did not react at all, and was still thinking about his own affairs.

Cheng Ping, a loyal man, was inevitably sad when he heard this and said sadly: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have not eliminated the evil spirits. The most great spirit is here. I am ashamed of Your Majesty."

In grief, he also knelt down with a thud, tears flowing.

This is a true loyal minister. The Spirit King couldn't help but close his eyes deeply, "My dear, you don't blame you, don't blame you, get up quickly."

"Your Majesty"

The sadness spread until a while later, the Spirit King was weak: "Tell me, tell me the specific situation now."

Cheng Ping wiped his tears with his official sleeves, trying to calm down and said, "At present, the Qin army has entered Lingzhou and guarded the four gates. The outside of the palace was surrounded by heavy troops, but there has been no sign of a strong attack."

"I'm afraid this is what King Qin means." King Ling said: "At this point, what can I do?"

"Your Majesty's clarification." Cheng Ping said: "The reason why the King of Qin is like this is probably related to General Chang Zhen's 100,000 troops in the eastern territory."

This army is not only a regular army of Ling Kingdom, but also a border army, and its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

The Spirit King subconsciously looked at him: "Where is the opinion of your beloved?"

"This" Cheng Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "Although General Chang Zhen is loyal, it is impossible to save the country. Your Majesty can still negotiate with the King of Qin now. Otherwise, the King of Qin would not surround and not attack. Of course, if Your Majesty is willing."

This means that our side still has the capital for the final negotiation.

"Talk?" The Ling King smiled helplessly, "But what can I talk about? The initiative is all in the hands of the King of Qin. What conditions can I offer?"

Cheng Ping said: "I think there is still no problem in protecting some people and things."

Hearing this, the Ling King couldn't help but frown slightly and began to think seriously.

Murong Hongye felt aroused. Given the situation he is in now, after the Qin army recovered Lingzhou, he could not escape death under the liquidation. The only hope was that King Ling would protect him through the final negotiations.

So he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I think that what Lord Cheng said is actually a loyal and kind word, and is for the consideration of my Daling royal family."

As he spoke, he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "And I, I swear to protect Your Majesty to the death! No matter what the road ahead, even if it is broken!"

The Spirit King has been on the throne for many years, but how could he not hear the implication? He looked at him and said, "Murong Hongye, don't worry, as long as I am still here, you will be fine."

"Ah?" Murong Hongye was delighted, his forehead touched the ground, and he bowed respectfully: "The emperor's kindness is so great! I will never be punished if I die!"

"Get up." King Ling said casually, then looked at Cheng Ping with great concern: "In my opinion, I have garrisoned 100,000 troops in the east. What conditions can I offer to the King of Qin so that the State of Qin can accept it."

That night, Cheng Ping analyzed the main issues of the negotiations to King Ling, focusing on clarifying that the King of Qin could no longer allow the existence of separatist forces. Based on this point, the conditions could be maintained, otherwise the Qin State would not accept it.

And he was right. The reason why Xiao Yuan let Peng Shuang's troops surround him and did not directly enter the palace was that he was leaving the last room for the Spirit King and leaving him with a night of time to consider.

If Lingzhou can be captured and the remaining cities of Ling Kingdom and the troops stationed in the East are able to peacefully recover the Eastern Kingdom after conquering Lingzhou, it will of course be the best.

War is not a joke. War is not only a huge consumption of gold, silver, money and food, but also a bloody battle between soldiers.

The next morning.

On both sides of the main street of Lingzhou City, there were Qin soldiers standing there, all of them straight and motionless.

Soon, Xiao Yuan rode a war horse and led the generals past here and headed straight towards the Lingwang Palace.

When he arrived, Peng Shuang had already come up and bowed, "Master."

"Yeah." Xiao Yuan turned over and got off the horse, and a general hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the reins.

He was wearing a black brocade dress, a brocade belt around his waist, and a jade hairpin tied his hair. He looked at Peng Shuang and said, "How is the situation?"

"Return to the king, there has been no movement in the Lingwang Palace from last night to now." Peng Shuang said: "Our army is ready to attack at any time. As long as the king gives the order, he can enter the palace."
