Chapter 290 The Choice of Yue Country

Chapter 289: Yue Kingdom's Choice

On March 19, Qianyuan [-], Yue Fei arrived at the Deng Army camp under Shanyin City. So far, the entire Deng Army had gathered in Shanyin, and the [-] angry guards led by Lu Feng had also completed the task of sweeping the eastern part of Kuaiji. Came to Sanyin.

"The last general pays homage to the great general!" Murong Chui took the lead and led a group of generals from Shenwuwei and Nujiaowei to welcome Yue Fei outside the gate of the camp, while the general of Nujiaowei Zhou Yu was still staying on Jingruo Lake. here.

After arriving at the tent of the Chinese army, Yue Fei asked Murong Chui, "General Murong, what's happening in Shanyin City during this time?"

Murong Chui shook his head, and said: "No, Shanyin City didn't do anything other than strengthen the city's defenses. It's just exhausted like this. It won't fight, surrender or escape."

"Didn't the people from the family in Shanyin City do anything?" Yue Fei was a little surprised. It stands to reason that the Yue country is about to be destroyed, and those aristocratic families in the Yue country should find a way out for the family. That's the best way out, there's no reason not to move at all.

"The general doesn't know anything!" At this time, Lu Meng, the military guard of the Shenwu Army, came out and explained: "The original capital of the Yue Kingdom was Yongning City in the south. Later, the capital was moved to Shanyin in order to fight for hegemony in the north. Yin is close to the border, and the Yue Kingdom has been at war with the old Wu all year round. All the aristocratic families of the Yue Kingdom were afraid that the old Wu would attack Shanyin in one fell swoop, so they did not move their families to Shanyin, but stayed in Yongning. In order to guard against the old Wu, the city defense of Shanyin has been strengthened. This Shanyin is not so much a capital city as it is an important border town of Yue State. Except for the Yue royal family and civil and military officials, most of the city is soldiers and horses. Even the people are not as many as Yongning."

When Yue Fei heard this, he understood. There is no Yue family in Shanyin City. No wonder no one has secretly informed Deng Jun. But Yue Fei was wrong. In fact, someone in Shanyin City actually planned to He secretly informed Deng Jun, but in Shanyin City, the Yue King can be said to be in control of the overall situation. The Yue King’s family is powerful and controls Shanyin City to death. One of the causes of Yin.

"Now that our entire army has arrived at Shanyin, tomorrow we will send people into the city to meet the King of Yue to persuade him to surrender, and tell the King of Yue that we will only give him three days. If he does not open the city and surrender after three days, he will be killed It’s time to attack the city.” Yue Fei thought for a while, and now that his 10,000+ army has arrived, he must fight, but before the fight, he still needs to send someone to persuade him to surrender. If King Yue can take the initiative to open the city and surrender, then Everyone is happy.

The next day, Lu Meng, a division of the Shenwu Guard, entered Shanyin City as an envoy of Deng Jun, and met the King of Yue in the Yue Palace.

"Foreign minister Lu Meng pays homage to the King of Yue!" In the main hall of the Yue Kingdom, Lu Meng bowed to the King of Yue and saluted. Although the Kingdom of Yue was about to perish, the King of Yue was still the king of a country after all. People say that Deng Guofei is domineering.

"You don't need to be polite, please get up!" King Yue sat on the throne, listlessly.

After Lu Meng stood up, the King of Yue said: "Your Majesty, I think you want the widow to open the city and surrender, right?" What could it be?

Lu Meng nodded with a smile and said: "King Yue is wise, that's right, the ministers here are ordered by General Yue Fei to persuade King Yue to open the city and surrender. Now the general situation is set, and the country of Yue has no chance to turn defeat into victory. Now, why does the King of Yue need to make unnecessary struggles? The King of Yue should also know that my Great Deng has always given preferential treatment to those who surrendered. The king is so stubborn to the end, could it be that the country is destroyed, and the king of Yue thinks twice."

Although Lu Meng said this with a smile, the King of Yue felt a strong sense of threat from it, but what Lu Meng said was true. After the rise of the Deng Kingdom, even Mie Jing, Han, Xiang, Chen, and Wu , except for the King Wu family, all the royal families who surrendered are living well. As for the State of Wu, it is because it is not the King Wu family that surrendered, but the family of the Wu State, so the King Wu family has become a commoner, but there is Xiling Weng Lord Sun Yan is here, and life is not too difficult. There is only one Hunan country that is stubbornly resisting. Except for the prince and queen, the Ma family is almost wiped out by Deng's army in Linxiang City. Even the Xiang country that escaped The prince and queen were also settled by the Wu family before Deng Jun entered Wucheng.

Lu Meng's meaning was already very clear, either surrender and live a life of luxury in Wancheng, or follow the example of Hunan, resist stubbornly, and finally destroy the country.

The King of Yue sighed and said: "Your Excellency, this is a serious matter, can you allow me to think about it?"

Lu Meng nodded, and said: "Of course, after all, it is understandable that King Yue can't make up his mind for such a big event, but General Yue Fei said that he only gave King Yue three days. After three days, if King Yue If you still refuse to open the city and surrender, then our army will have to attack the city."

Three days, only three days?King Yue nodded expressionlessly, and said: "The widow knows, please go slowly."

Lu Meng turned around with a smile and left the Yue Kingdom Hall. After Lu Meng left, the King of Yue said to the civil and military ministers: "Your Excellencies, you all heard what Deng Envoy said just now. For three days, Yue Fei only gave the widow three days. , tell me, how should the widow make a choice?"

All the ministers were silent, even those who clamored to fight Deng Jun to the death a few days ago were afraid to speak, because the tragic situation in Yujicheng was too terrible, but if they were asked to say the word surrender, they would not dare to speak. They couldn't say it, after all, when they shouted a bloody battle a few days ago, they were the ones who yelled the most.

At the critical moment, it was Wen Zhong who stood up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, our country is in the end. Although the king may not like to listen to what I say, I still want to say it. The fall of Fayue is an irreversible end. But Da Yue can perish, but the Zhao family cannot perish!"

Although Wen Zhong did not directly say the word surrender, the words that Da Yue can perish but the Zhao family cannot perish are telling the king of Yue that even if the Yue state cannot be kept, the Zhao family must be kept. As for how to keep the Zhao family, there is no other way except surrender. any way.

The king of Yue smiled bitterly and said: "I understand, Wen Xiang, I can't keep Da Yue, and I am ashamed of my ancestors, so I will go to the Taimiao to make amends to my ancestors in the next few days, and the yellow book of Da Yue's fields will be sorted out by Wen Xiang .”

"Here!" Wen Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief. In the face of the family's survival, King Yue still chose to compromise, and did not make a wrong decision for the so-called dignity of the king.

After Lu Meng returned to the camp, he immediately went to see Yue Fei. After arriving at the tent of the Chinese Army, Yue Fei asked Lu Meng, "Mr. Lu, I wonder how the ruler and ministers of the Yue Kingdom will react? Do you want to surrender?"

Lu Meng replied: "Back to the general, the reaction of the monarch and ministers of the Yue Kingdom was quite calm. They didn't stare at each other, let alone curse. As for the matter of surrender, the King of Yue said that he still needs to think about it, but his subordinates watched the civil and military affairs of the Yue Kingdom." , is still inclined to surrender, and the subordinates also said that we only give them three days."

"That's good!" Yue Fei said with a smile. Although the king of Yue didn't open the city and surrender immediately, he didn't make it clear that he would fight to the death, and the civil and military ministers of Yue didn't want to resist. I believe that after three days, it will be a good one. The news, as long as Shanyin is broken, half of the war against Yue is completed, and the next step is to consider how to deal with the Shanyue people hiding in the deep mountains.

The Shanyue people have existed since ancient times. Since the South Vietnam captured Kuaiji in the past, and later the South Vietnam split up, the Yue Kingdom has been besieging and suppressing the Shanyue people, but they have not been able to solve the problem completely. Since the 18th year of Qianyuan, Deng Jun gathered an army in Wu The county put on a stance to attack the Yue country. The Yue country had to transfer its elite main force to the north to reduce the suppression of the Shanyue people. In the past half a year, the Shanyue people have started to move out again and again, constantly attacking the county county.

And Deng Sheng did not give Yue Fei enough time to destroy the Shanyue people. Deng Sheng only gave Yue Fei half a year to destroy the Yue country and encircle the Shanyue people, so Yue Fei made preparations while fighting the Yue country, so as not to be caught off guard when the time came. of.
