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

Chapter 829 A Useless Sacrifice

Although Ling Zhongxian wanted to save the soldiers guarding the city, many people did not know his good intentions and instead thought that he had betrayed Zheng Guo.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we may not be able to defend Xunyang City, but holding on to Xunyang City is our final bottom line as Zheng people. Please stop trying to persuade us to surrender."

Huang Zhengming responded loudly.

"Master Prime Minister, this is the last time that I call you Prime Minister, because you are no longer worthy of being the Prime Minister of Zheng!"

General Wu also spoke sarcastically.

"General Wu, why should I fear death! As long as you are willing to open the city and surrender, I will kill myself here immediately! You will never break your promise!"

In order to save these soldiers, Ling Zhongxian even risked his own life.

"Old Ling, why are you doing this? This general has told you a long time ago that you have to live and die with Xunyang City, how can you surrender?"

General Wu also looked helpless.

"Old Wu, don't you want this home anymore? Don't you want your own family?"

An old woman came out with a cane.

This person is General Wu's married wife, and there are two young women supporting her, and there are General Wu's two sons behind her.

Behind the two sons, there were actually more than a dozen family members, who looked like General Wu's grandchildren.

General Wu looked at his family and his face became ugly.

"I didn't ask you to take the children and run away as far as possible. Why did you come back?"

General Wu was anxious for a while.

What would he do if Lu Hao threatened him with the lives of his family in a fit of anger?

"Xunyang City is our home, and we won't go there. I have seen the weapons of the Chinese Empire. They are not strong enough to withstand swords and spears. You can just die, but we can't let so many soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices." !”

Mrs. Wu persuaded.

"This general also knows that we cannot win. However, this general will never betray Zheng Guo. You should stop trying to persuade me."

General Wu said coldly.

"I came here not to persuade you, but to persuade those soldiers to surrender. Emperor Yongtai promised us that as long as Kaicheng surrenders, the Chinese Empire will never kill innocent people in vain!"

Mrs. Wu looked at the soldiers guarding the city and persuaded them loudly.

"You old man! How dare you shake the morale of our army! I will kill you!"

Zheng Yuanjie directly drew an arrow, bent his bow and aimed it at General Wu's wife.

"My lord, please calm down. The old woman doesn't know the rules. I hope you will spare her life!"

General Wu quickly begged for mercy.

"General Wu, for the sake of your loyalty, I will not care about your wife. You can shoot this arrow!"

Zheng Yuanjie handed over the bow and arrow in his hand.

General Wu looked at the bow and arrow in his hand and was completely confused.

Zheng Yuanjie actually let him shoot his own wife, was he still a human being?

"Your Majesty, please calm down. You must not do that! Why should you vent your anger on Madam Wu?"

Huang Zhengming, the Minister of War, quickly persuaded him and took the bow and arrow.

"Master Huang, what do you want to do? Give the bow and arrow to General Wu and let me see if he is really loyal to me?"

To put it bluntly, Zheng Yuanjie wanted General Wu to show his loyalty.

However, Huang Zhengming knew very well that General Wu now had a large number of troops and had repeatedly refused to persuade him to surrender.

If at this juncture, he was allowed to shoot his wife, wouldn't it force him to rebel?
"Your Majesty, please calm down. General Wu is loyal to your Majesty. It is obvious to all. Please show mercy to your Majesty!"

Huang Zhengming winked at Zheng Yuanjie as he spoke.

"Hahaha……"

Zheng Yuanjie was not stupid, he immediately laughed and said: "I am not a tyrant, how could I let General Wu shoot his wife?"

"Thank you so much, Lord, for not killing me!"

General Wu quickly thanked him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Wu, did you hear that? This stupid king asked you to kill me. Come on!" The old woman of the Wu family was not afraid at all and even took two steps forward.

"Okay, stop talking and leave quickly!"

General Wu shouted loudly.

"Let's go? Where are we going? Xunyang City is our home. You open the city gate and we want to go in."

The old woman from the Wu family took two more steps forward.

What?Open the city gate?How is that possible?

"Stop being so messy, please take the children and leave!"

General Wu was so anxious that he almost cried.

"Emperor Yongtai, if General Wu doesn't surrender in Kaicheng, you will kill our whole family until he surrenders in Kaicheng!"

General Wu's wife turned to Lu Hao and said loudly.

What?Kill their whole family?

What's happening here?Please ask Lu Hao to kill their family and force General Wu to surrender in Kaicheng?
Lu Hao was also slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "The old woman is joking, I don't disdain such despicable methods at all. You should go back first, I am going to prepare to attack the city!"

"Your Majesty, Ling Fengwu has brought the refugees here. Many of them are family members of soldiers in the city. They say they want to come over to persuade them to surrender. What should I do?"

Liu Ruxu reported loudly.

"That girl Feng Wu is also here to cause trouble, it's true!"

Lu Hao was really angry.

"Your Majesty, let Feng Wu bring the refugees here. This will also break the will of the soldiers guarding the city."

Ling Zhongxian spoke in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll give Feng Wu a chance to show off."

Lu Hao reluctantly agreed.

After a while, Ling Fengwu came to the front of the formation with the fleeing civilians.

"Little Button, I am your mother! Just put down your weapons and surrender!"

A middle-aged woman came out and shouted towards the city wall.

"Mother, why are you back?"

A soldier on the wall responded loudly.

"Little button, the rifles and grenades of the Chinese Empire are too powerful. You have to retreat far away to avoid the explosion of the grenades. Do you understand?"

The middle-aged woman quickly explained.

"Xiao Bin, are you also on the city wall? Did you hear what Bute's mother said? You must hide far away!"

Another middle-aged woman stood up with the support of a middle-aged man.

"Mom and dad, why are you back? Didn't I ask you to go as far away as possible?"

Another soldier shouted back.

"My parents can't bear to worry about you, and they don't want to leave Xunyang City, where they were born and raised. If the Chinese Empire invades the city, you must surrender quickly. They won't kill the prisoners. Why are my parents still waiting for you to die for me?"

The middle-aged man also persuaded loudly.

Immediately afterwards, countless refugees stood up, called for their children, and began to communicate through the air.

Lu Hao was completely defeated by the scene before him!

Didn't we agree that if we fail to persuade them to surrender, we will directly attack the city?There are so many refugees coming now. After they finish explaining their affairs, maybe they can have lunch.

Of course, Zheng Yuanjie, the leader of the Zheng Kingdom on the city wall, was so angry that one Buddha gave birth to two Buddhas in the field.

"General Wu, tell your soldiers not to reply, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"

Zheng Yuanjie roared loudly.

"Yes, my lord!"

General Wu responded loudly.
