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

Chapter 828
Although Ling Zhongxian intervened to persuade him to surrender, Lu Hao still made two preparations.

His soul power was released instantly, and he immediately sensed the specific locations of Xuanyuan Lingyu, Cao Ming and Ding Rumo.

"General Xuanyuan, General Cao Ming, and General Ding Rumo, I have called the Prime Minister of Zheng to persuade us to surrender. It would be best if General Wu, who is guarding the city, opens the city and surrenders."

"If that doesn't work, I will order an attack. You should be prepared and wait for my order!"

Lu Hao immediately sent a message from his soul.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The three responded immediately.

At this moment, General Wu appeared on the city wall with his people.

"General Wu, I am the Yongtai Emperor of the Chinese Empire!"

Lu Hao introduced himself loudly.

"You know the old man?"

General Wu was surprised.

"General Wu, I brought Emperor Yongtai here!"

Ling Zhongxian said loudly.

"Master Prime Minister, have you been caught by Emperor Yongtai?"

General Wu was shocked.

After all, his family was with Ling Zhongxian, and now it is very likely that he has fallen into the hands of Emperor Yongtai.

If Emperor Yongtai uses his family to threaten him, what should he do?
"General Wu, I'm just an old man. Emperor Yongtai doesn't even bother to deal with an old guy like me. I followed him to Xunyang City voluntarily."

Ling Zhongxian responded loudly.

"Then why did you come to Xunyang City? Don't tell me, general, that you are here to persuade me to surrender?"

General Wu asked coldly.

"General Wu, the weapons of the Chinese Empire are too powerful. In order to prevent the sacrifice of the soldiers defending the city in vain, I shamelessly begged Emperor Yongtai to take the initiative to persuade the general to put down his weapons and submit to the Chinese Empire!"

Ling Zhongxian said loudly.

"To put it nicely, what is surrender to the Chinese Empire? Surrender is surrender! It's a pity that the word 'surrender' is not in this general's dictionary!"

General Wu refused.

"General Wu, you are about to be buried. Of course you are not afraid of death. However, look at those soldiers, they are only 30 or [-] years old, so young, and they also have families. If they die like this, the whole family will How to survive?"

Ling Zhongxian persuaded loudly.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I have served as an official in the same court with you for many years, and I know that you are loyal to the State of Zheng. Why did you choose to join the Chinese Empire?"

General Wu asked sharply.

"Emperor Yongtai of the Chinese Empire is the eternal Mingjun who has seen his true form. You should stop being stubborn and follow that good-for-nothing coward Zheng Yuanjie. There is only one way to die!"

Ling Zhongxian argued hard.

"General Wu, to tell you the truth, the 30 reinforcements from the Zhou Dynasty and the Yue Kingdom were ambushed by me in the Jilin Mountains. They have been completely destroyed. Don't have any illusions now."

Lu Hao interrupted loudly.

"Emperor Yongtai, you despicable villain. You invaded Zheng State and you are an invader. Now you have the nerve to persuade me to surrender. If you want to take Xunyang City, you have to step over my general's body!"

General Wu was very loyal to Zheng Guo.

"Hahaha... General Wu, well done! Well done!"

Zheng Yuanjie, the leader of the Zheng Kingdom, clapped his hands and walked out slowly together with Huang Zhengming, the Minister of War.Before, he was worried that General Wu would surrender, but now it seems that the old general is loyal to him, which is really gratifying.

"Emperor Yongtai, did you hear that, you despicable villain, you invader!"

Zheng Yuanjie roared loudly.

"What? Am I a despicable villain? Zheng Yuanjie, the Zheng Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom deliberately provoked the rebellion of the ethnic minorities in the Chinese Empire in an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the Chinese Empire. I remember that I sent someone to warn your country."

"However, you idiot is stubborn and thinks that the Chinese Empire is far away from you and there is nothing you can do about it, so you are even more unscrupulous and threaten to invade the Central Plains."

"Immediately afterwards, I sent envoys to various countries in the Western Region. Your brother, Prince Zheng Yuanpei, actually led an army to intercept his country's envoys. Is it our Chinese Empire who is provoking trouble?"

"Not to mention, we signed a friendly trade agreement with the State of Jin. You, the State of Zheng, took the opportunity to lead an army to invade the State of Jin, which was in civil strife. They burned, killed, looted, and tortured, and committed all kinds of evil, resulting in the loss of life and starvation for thousands of miles. Could it be that these were also caused by the Chinese Empire? ?"

"In the face of repeated warnings from the Chinese Empire, you idiot still turned a deaf ear and turned a deaf ear to my words. Today I am sending an army to attack the State of Zheng. You just say that I am despicable and that I am an invader. You, the State of Zheng, What does it mean to invade Jin?"

Lu Hao's series of questions were deafening.

In just a few sentences, Lu Hao clearly explained the grievances between the two countries and clarified the rights and wrongs.

If Zheng Guo had not provoked trouble, why would the Chinese Empire have gone on an expedition and wanted to destroy Zheng Guo?

"You ambushed the coalition forces of the two countries, what are you if you are not a despicable villain?"

Zheng Yuanjie asked rhetorically.

"When the two countries are at war, their troops are always deceitful. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Is it despicable to ambush the coalition forces of the two countries? Zheng Yuanjie, are you really a fool?"

Lu Hao cursed coldly.

"You are the fool! You still want us to surrender? Are you dreaming of your Spring and Autumn Dream? I will fight to the death to coexist with Xunyang City!"

Zheng Yuanjie finally got tough.

"I came here today to persuade you to surrender because I don't want to see so many innocent lives being buried with a fool like you! It will be easy for the Chinese Empire to conquer Xunyang City!"

Lu Hao didn't take this solid city seriously at all.

"Lord, please surrender to Kaicheng. Stop struggling in vain, lest the soldiers be buried with you!"

Ling Zhongxian spoke to persuade.

"Ling Zhongxian, you, an old man, dare to betray Zheng Guo. I really regret not having your family confiscated and exterminated earlier!"

Zheng Yuanjie shouted coldly.

"My lord, the death of an old minister is not a pity. I only ask you to open the city and surrender, lest so many innocent soldiers die in vain!"

Ling Zhongxian couldn't bear to watch so many soldiers die.

"What sacrifice is in vain? They are the warriors of the Zheng State. They died fighting for the Zheng State. They died a worthy death, a heroic death! A worthy death! Are they betraying their own country like you?"

Zheng Yuanjie spoke righteously and shouted sternly.

"My old minister did not betray his country, but wanted to find a way out with Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo's swords, bows and arrows could not stop the Chinese Empire's army at all. Do we have to have more than 30 soldiers die and be buried with you? "

Ling Zhongxian was almost furious.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the king sometimes has a bad temper, but how can you collude with the Chinese Empire?"

Huang Zhengming, Minister of War, finally spoke.

"Master Huang, I have been with you for many years. You should know very well what I am like. Today I have the shamelessness to persuade you to surrender because I can't bear to see the innocent soldiers die miserably! Do you also think that I am betraying Zheng Guo?"

Ling Zhongxian looked at Huang Zhengming and suddenly became very calm.
