Chapter 1485: Respect the Commander

When the fourth round of the Little Prince and Yuehuanshan started, it was already dusk, and there was a report outside the tent: "Report to the General, and there was an envoy from the Han army asking for a visit!"

Yue Huanshan immediately looked stunned on his face. He couldn't help but look up at Qi Ning opposite him, but saw that Qi Ning had put down the chess piece in his hand, stood up, and smiled and said, "A guest is here, the general is going to come out to welcome the guests!"

Yue Huanshan said in surprise: "Prince, can it be!"

"I should know everything when I see the messenger." Qi Ning smiled.

Yue Huanshan and Qi Ning came out of the tent, and many generals in the Chu army had already come.

"General, there are envoys from the Han army coming." A general came forward: "But their outfits are a little strange, I don't know what happened."

In fact, there is no need for this person to say that Yue Huanshan has already seen the strangeness.

From a distance, the team of people looked plain white, and their armor and helmets were all wrapped in white cloth.

When Qi Ning saw the other party's outfit, she frowned slightly. Yue Huanshan stood beside Qi Ning. Although he was the chief general of the Qinhuai Legion, Qi Ning was the imperial king's title. Yue Huanshan naturally did not dare to stand in front of Qi Ning. He hesitated for a moment and finally said in a deep voice: "Let them come here!"

There were about a dozen troops in the Han army, but the first one was not [Zhenling.] Zhongli Ao, but Zhai Zhi. At this time, he was outside the gate. When the gate opened, Zhai Zhi turned over and got off the horse, but took two subordinates into the gate. Someone immediately stepped forward and seized the swords of the three. Zhai Zhi's eyes twitched, but the situation was stronger than the people, but he could only get upset.

When they entered the camp, there were Chu soldiers on both sides, staring at the three people who were heading towards the Central Army's tent.

Qi Ning looked at Zhai Zhi from afar, surrounded by more than a dozen generals on both sides. Seeing Zhai Zhi and the other two were pale, they realized something and their faces were a little cold.

Zhai Zhi was a few steps away from Qining and stopped.

"General Fengdao, please send a letter to the general of the army and the general of the army to read it in person!" Zhai Zhi took out a letter from his arms, held it with his hands, bowed slightly, but did not kneel down.

A general went forward, took the letter, turned around and walked to Qi Ning, hesitating for a moment, not knowing whether the letter should be handed over to the little prince or directly to Yue Huanshan, but Qi Ning had already winked and signaled to hand it over to Yue Huanshan. The general then sent it to Yue Huanshan.

Yue Huanshan reached out to take it, but did not open it immediately, and said to Zhai Zhi: "Is General Zhongli going to issue the last letter of war?" As he spoke, he had already opened the letter. After only two glances, his face changed slightly. When the generals saw this, they were surprised and thought that the general had always been happy and angry, and had excellent psychological quality. How could he see a letter change color?

Qi Ning was calm but calm.

After reading the letter, Yue Huanshan presented it to Qi Ning with both hands. Qi Ning reached out to take it, looked at it twice, showed a smile, and nodded, "We know the feelings of Grand Marshal Zhongli, but why didn't Grand Marshal come in person?"

Zhai Zhi looked sad and said, "The General has passed away!"

Except for Qi Ning, everyone present changed their colors. Yue Huanshan was even more surprised and said, "Master Zhongli?"

"The general said that he could not save the Han Empire. He was ashamed of the late emperor, and he was not ashamed of the Marquis of Changling, and even more so that he was sorry for the thousands of people of the Han Dynasty, so he committed suicide and apologized for his guilt!" Zhai Zhi's eyes were full of grief: "Before the general died, he asked me to hand in a letter of surrender to General Yue, and the soldiers of the Han army were also ready to surrender to your country."

Everyone was extremely surprised and never expected that such a result would be.

In the past year, the Chu and Han armies have fought bloody battles on the battlefield, each with their own victory or defeat. Although the Chu army now has the upper hand, everyone knows that the reason is nothing more than the civil strife in the Northern Han Dynasty, the political situation is unstable, and the logistics of the Han army has serious problems. But even so, the Han army commanded by Zhongli Ao is already an extremely difficult bone to crack.

The two armies fought each other as their own rulers, but the generals of the Chu army still admired Zhongli Ao.

The Han army retreated to Yaoshan, which was the last barrier to garrison Luoyang. The Chu soldiers were also ready to fight a decisive battle with Zhongli Ao's troops, and everyone knew that even if they won this battle, they would inevitably suffer a considerable loss.

But unexpectedly, just before the eve of the decisive battle, Zhong Liao committed suicide and sent someone to hand over the surrender letter.

Yue Huanshan glanced at Qi Ning. It was not yet there on the fifteenth day, but what the little prince said turned out to be true.

Why did characters like Zhongli Ao commit suicide before the decisive battle?

Zhai Zhi saw the generals in surprise and said, "It's not that our Han army dare not fight with you, but we didn't expect that Qu Yuangu's traitor actually killed the king and rebelled, our army's food was cut off, the destiny of the Han Dynasty was over, and the general did not want tens of thousands of soldiers to die in vain, so he handed over the surrender letter."

"Has Qu Yuangu rebelled?" Yue Huanshan said in surprise.

When Zhai Zhi saw Yue Huanshan's reaction, he was a little strange: "Don't you know? After Qu Yuangu killed the lord, he controlled Luoyang, cast out your Chu flag, and had already cast it on your Chu State."

What Zhai Zhi said was really incredible, and all the generals of the Chu army doubted whether they had heard it wrong.

Yue Huanshan looked at Qi Ning and suddenly understood why the little prince was so sure that the Han army would collapse more than ten days ago.

Of course, Qu Yuangu could not surrender to the State of Chu for no reason. All of this certainly had a lot to do with the little prince.

However, Qi Ning's expression was extremely solemn at this moment.

When the Han army surrendered, the generals of the Chu army breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not feel too much joy. The atmosphere was a little solemn. Suddenly, Qi Ning shouted loudly: "Come on wine!"

Immediately someone took a jar of wine. Qi Ning took it, patted Kaifeng mud, and said solemnly: "Master Zhongli is extremely loyal and brave, and it's easy to walk." But he sprinkled the wine on the ground and shouted: "Be kind to Master Zhongli!" Then he knelt on one knee on the ground, including Yue Huanshan, but they all quickly knelt down on one knee in the direction of Yaoshan to show their respect for Zhongli Ao.

Seeing this, Zhai Zhi turned around with his men and knelt down in the direction of Yaoshan.

The first snow in Luoyang came earlier than in previous years. It started to snow at dusk, and it took a whole night. By the next morning, the whole of Luoyang had been covered with a layer of white gauze.

Outside Luoyang City, thousands of northwestern soldiers lined up, while Qu Yuangu led the civil and military officials from Luoyang to wait ten miles outside Luoyang City.

At noon, a flying flag finally appeared in the distance, and more and more flags were coming. The sound of horse hooves, and thousands of cavalry swept over like the wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Behind the cavalry, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers were advancing towards Luoyang.

Seeing the flying flags flying in the air and hearing the rumbling horse hooves, Qu Yuangu felt a little grateful. He thought to himself that the Chu army was magnificent and his combat power was extraordinary. If he really defended Luoyang, facing such a rainbow of momentum

Can the enemy troops really defend?

The civil and military officials in the Northern Han Dynasty behind him were different in expressions.

Qu Yuangu and his son killed Beitangfeng and blocked Luoyang. They even used the banner of Chu. They also claimed that Beitangfeng was stupid and incompetent, and that the world should be a promising wise ruler. The emperor of Chu State's civilized and military strategy was a true hero, so the Qu family was willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light and surrender to the state of Chu.

As soon as this order was issued, the whole of Luoyang was in an uproar.

Many literati princes rushed to the top of Luoyang city and scolded the treacherous ministers for treason. Luoyang was once in a riot.

But Qu Yuangu certainly would not think that such a commotion was a big deal. The Northwest Army took to the streets, killed a group of people, and captured a group of people. In the bloody situation, there was no noise. All civil and military officials also understood that the Han Dynasty had lost its emperor and the general situation was hopeless. At this time, the objection was just to give up, and they could only succumb to Qu Yuangu's iron-blooded power.

Qu Yuangu got that the Chu army was about to enter Luoyang soon and immediately led all civil and military officials out of the city to greet him.

The iron cavalry of Chu was like the wind, and it was approaching soon. The first cavalry was the cold light of iron armor. It was Yue Huanshan, the chief general of the Qinhuai Legion.

Yue Huanshan originally wanted to invite Qi Ning to accept Luoyang's surrender, but Qi Ning flatly refused. This Northern Expedition was brought by Yue Huanshan. When he was victorious, Qi Ning would certainly not seize the beauty of others. He firmly asked Yue Huanshan to lead people to Luoyang City first to surrender, and he followed closely behind with a large group of troops.

Seeing Yue Huanshan, Qu Yuangu immediately brought people to welcome him, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "The criminal general Qu Yuangu led all civil and military officials in Luoyang to visit General Yue. Here is Luoyang's household registration list and money and grain documents, which are dedicated to the general!" Looking back, someone immediately sent Luoyang's household registration list, money and grain records and other related documents.

Yue Huanshan was taken over, and he rode on the horse and glanced at it. Then he got off the horse, went up to help Qu Yuangu up, and said with a smile: "General Qu is the overall situation, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and our great Chu unified the world, General Qu is a great minister. I have already submitted a memorial to the court, and sent it to Jianye with a quick horse, and told the emperor that General Qu's meritorious deeds. When the emperor knew about it, he would be happy, and he would reward General Qu and all the civil and military officials heavily."

"I dare not dare!" Qu Yuangu hurriedly said, "The general knows his guilt and surrenders late. He should be punished!" He raised his hand and said, "He has already set up a banquet for the general and you all. Please!"

"No hurry!" Yue Huanshan smiled and said, "General Qu, now you are a minister of my Great Chu, so the Northwest Army under the general are naturally all soldiers of my Great Chu. I thought that the Northwest Army should be reorganized quickly and become part of my Great Chu army. I wonder what General Qu wants to do?"

Qu Yuangu's mouth twitched slightly.

Of course he understood the meaning of Yue Huanshan.

Although Luoyang City has been opened to welcome the Chu army into the city, and has offered a household registration reduction form, he still has 30,000 Northwest Army in his hands, which ultimately makes the other party worried. Therefore, Yue Huanshan is not in a hurry to enter the city, and he must reorganize the Northwest Army as soon as possible. To put it bluntly, he naturally has to conquer the Northwest Army's equipment.

In fact, this is also what Qu Yuangu expected.
