Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 413

The serious crime of rebellion involves confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

Now that the queen has come forward in public to persuade them to surrender, it can also give the soldiers a way out, which is naturally a perfect ending.

"Lu Hao, you are very powerful! I have given up!"

Chen Lin said loudly with a look of death on his face.

"Chen Lin, you were originally the marshal of the empire. Although you fought several battles with Liu Mu, it was just a personal grudge. The truth is that you are not regarded as a culprit of rebellion."

"Besides, you are the Queen's father. Now that the Queen has pardoned your crimes, what else can the truth say?"

"The Prime Minister hereby promises that as long as you open the city and surrender, I will forget the past and all the soldiers will be disarmed and return to their fields, and each person will be given 1 taels of silver as a means of survival!"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"These soldiers are following my commander to fight in Shacheng. I can still afford the 1 taels of silver to settle down, so I don't need to worry about it!"

"Kaicheng! Surrender!"

Chen Lin issued the most difficult order in his life, and it was also the last order.

quack quack...

The city gate slowly opened, and Chen Yuhuan followed Lu Hao and led the army into Hangu Pass.

"Father……"

Chen Yuhuan ran away and fell into his father's arms.

"Oh... Queen, am I really old? I can't even beat a young boy."

Chen Lin let out a long sigh.

"Father, why did you lose to your son-in-law?"

Chen Yuhuan whispered coquettishly.

"It's true that women are not allowed to stay in college! Forget it, this brat beats my father-in-law so hard!"

Chen Lin resented the injustice.

"Father, that boy shows no mercy. If you really don't surrender, those cannons will definitely wipe out all your soldiers."

Chen Yuhuan pursed his lips and snickered.

"Then maybe, I still have a reserve team that is not available?"

Chen Lin seemed less confident.

"Father, Lu Hao has only used one-fifth of his shells, and you guys can't handle it. If the fight continues, do you think there is still a chance of winning?"

Chen Yuhuan revealed the answer.

"What? Only one-fifth!"

Chen Lin was horrified.

"Yeah, what kind of explosives did the boy prepare, enough to blow up the city gate, but it's still useless?"

Chen Yuhuan nodded heavily.

"Explosive pack? What is this? Is it very powerful?"

Chen Lin asked with a frown.

"It's very powerful. It's said to be more powerful than a cannon."

Chen Yuhuan only heard what Lu Hao said and had never seen it with his own eyes.

What?More powerful than a cannon?

Chen Lin was dumbfounded again.

At this moment, Lu Hao slowly walked in with two beauties, Tantai Xiyao and Nangong Ruoxue.

Behind him were rows of soldiers, all holding rifles.

When Chen Lin looked at this kid, he was so angry that he wanted to hit him. After all, he had never been so aggrieved in his whole life fighting.

How can we fight this battle without even touching the corner of the enemy's clothes, and with most of his own casualties?

"Wei minister pays homage to the abbot of the country!"

Lu Hao bowed slightly.

The title of Imperial Marshal has been taken away by the Empire. However, Chen Lin is still the father of the Imperial Queen, so it seems more appropriate to call him the abbot of the empire.

"The prime minister's cannon is really powerful! I lost!"

It’s not like Chen Lin can’t afford to lose. "Our bet was to break through the city gate, but the truth is that we didn't break through the city gate. It was the emperor who gave up defending the city because he didn't want to see the empire's soldiers fighting each other. How can we say we lost?"

Lu Hao smiled calmly.

"If it weren't for my daughter, I wouldn't open the city gate and let you in."

Chen Lin looked at his daughter with a doting look on his face.

To be honest, on the one hand, he was stunned by Lu Hao's cannon, and on the other hand, he really didn't want his daughter to be trapped between the two of them. Furthermore, he didn't want his soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices anymore.

Besides, this kid is so powerful, now the Murong royal family has completely collapsed.

Once this kid ascends the throne and becomes emperor, and his daughter becomes pregnant with his child, even if she cannot become the new queen because she is the former queen, she will at least be treated like a noble concubine.

During Chen Lin's lifelong battle, Yu Lin's army was ambushed by King Lanling and Liu Mu, causing heavy casualties and serious injuries to himself.

I originally thought that I could become a separate overlord based on the natural dangers of Hangu Pass. Now it seems that this idea is too naive.

Lu Hao's new army and new weapons have completely changed the mainland's original combat model and will also change the situation of the entire continent.

There is no doubt that given time, this kid will defeat all his enemies, soar into the sky, and conquer the entire continent.

"Lu Hao, your kid's cannon is powerful! This powerful weapon subverts traditional warfare and will definitely change the pattern of the entire continent! It seems that it won't be long before your kid can unify the continent!"

Although Chen Lin was angry, he was convinced from the bottom of his heart.

"According to your good words, I will do my best!"

Lu Hao was not modest at all.

"You brat, I just said a few words to you and I got him."

Chen Lin smiled with relief, leaned close to his ear, and threatened in a low voice: "If you are sorry for Yuhuan, I can't spare you!"

"I see."

Lu Hao smiled awkwardly.

"The Empress, please resign, and return to your hometown! Take care of your old age! I also ask the Empress and the Prime Minister to please allow me to return to my hometown honorably for the sake of my many years of fighting for the empire."

Chen Lin looked at his daughter and said loudly.

"Father, are you really willing to retreat bravely?"

Chen Yuhuan said with great joy.

"The old minister's old-fashioned ideas and the tactics of the cold weapon era are gone forever. Now they are completely useless. The veteran also wants to take a rest. From now on, the world belongs to young people like Lu Hao."

Chen Lin was filled with emotions.

"I agree! What does the prime minister mean?"

Chen Yuhuan looked at Lu Hao and asked for his opinion.

"Since the Queen has spoken, there is no reason to leave things in jeopardy, so let's do what the Queen wants."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"In this case, I will arrange for the soldiers who have followed me for many years to have a good home."

Chen Lin bowed slightly.

The Battle of Hangu Pass ended successfully, and the soldiers who defended the city began to collect weapons and distribute resettlement allowances and pensions.

In the city lord's palace, Lu Hao and Chen Yuhuan were discussing how to deal with the follow-up issues of Chen Lin and his subordinates.

Pingxi General Wu Cangui heard that Lu Hao had captured Hangu Pass, and immediately hurried over to ask for an audience with the imperial prime minister and empress.

With Chen Lin backing him up, there won't be any big problems in the future. However, after guarding the west for so many years, I'm afraid his merits will outweigh his faults.

"General Wu Cangui pays homage to the Queen! Meets the Prime Minister!"

Wu Cangui knelt on the ground and kowtowed quickly.

"General Wu please rise!"

Chen Yuhuan raised his hand slightly, signaling for him to stand up and answer.

Chen Lin quickly stood up and explained: "Queen Qi, Prime Minister, General Wu is my commander's subordinate. Although I have made mistakes, please be considerate of the old minister's thin face and be open-minded!"

Chen Yuhuan didn't know how to deal with this matter. He turned to look at Lu Hao and asked, "Master Xiang, what do you think?"

"Please forgive me, Prime Minister! The general knows he was wrong!"

Wu Cangui quickly begged for mercy.
