"His Royal Highness Prince Chen, all of us can surrender to the Chinese, but you can't surrender to the Chinese, King Chen. We are subjects now, Chinese or Chinese. But the King Chen was the master now, how could he be the master if he surrendered to the Chinese? Furthermore, with the arrival of the Chinese generals, all of the beautiful women in Chen Han have been snatched away by them. "
Yin Qi's face revealed a sinister smile. These words he had said reached the sore spot of King Chen. Almost all the beauties of Chen Han were chosen by him to enter the palace. What Yin Qi said was the same as telling King Chen, "Are you willing to part with your beauties?"
As expected, the King Chen was unhappy. He had only been listening to their conversation and was in no hurry to express his stance. As a king, he also knew how to let others finish their words before making his own decision. Listen, he had an idea.
"We really can't beat the Chinese, so we have to surrender to them. But we have to make conditions to surrender to the Chinese. If the Chinese do not agree to a single surrender, we will retreat to the mountains. No matter how strong they are, they can't just go and find us all over the mountain. "
"Yes, yes, yes. King Chen, Taibai Mountain is so big, even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to find it. Let's see how long they can stay. The Han Chinese have a large territory, and if anything happens to them elsewhere, they will withdraw. "
Grand Commander Yin Di immediately agreed. Once he entered the mountain, it would be his entire world. Those soldiers had been his subordinates for many years, only he had followed his orders. At that time, he would not even care about the army in the palace, and perhaps even the King Chen would listen to his advice.
"His Royal Highness Prince Chen, the palace can retreat to the mountains, and the army can also retreat to the mountains. But can you withdraw all the people into the mountains? The Chinese army is coming. They won't come to us in the mountains, but they'll take all the civilians away, just like they took all the Pitiful Moslems. Afterwards, he let the Chinese Wasteland soldier come in and gave all of the Chen Han's women to the Chinese as wives. "At that time, if we don't have any commoners, how long can we stay in the mountains?"
Seeing that the King Chen actually listened to the ministers and attempted to withdraw the palace into the mountains, he could not help but be furious. But he didn't dare to get angry with his King Chen, so he could only speak tactfully. In fact, what he wanted to say was, hundreds of thousands of Pitiful Moslems s had all been captured, but not all of them? If there is no Chen Han, who else can you be?
"How preposterous. We did not attack the Chinese nor did we offend them. We could say that we had no enmity with them, but why did they attack us? Isn't it just too overbearing to make all of us into Mute Eunuch? "
After hearing CHEN Han emissary's words, the King Chen also clearly knew that escaping to the depths of the mountains was not an option. He couldn't escape, he couldn't win or fall. He couldn't help but get angry. These damned Chinese people, did they really not want him to live anymore?
"His Royal Highness Prince Chen, do wolves need a reason to eat sheep? If the Lord General wanted to establish his territory and pacify the world, he had to kill everyone that blocked his path. Either you become his subordinate and help him destroy the enemy, or you become his enemy and be destroyed by him. And he didn't need any friends. Even if it were his friends, there were only two possibilities in the future, subordinates or enemies. The sad thing about us Chen Han people, is that our tribe is too small and too close to the Han Chinese. "
How could the CHEN Han emissary not know that this Chinese general was unreasonable? However, the CHEN Han emissary who had been travelling and studying in the Central Plains for a long time also knew that the world was not a reasonable world. When the Huns were slaughtering the Chinese, they were unreasonable. When he was slaughtering the Chinese, the Urushion was just as unreasonable. On the other hand, did the Chinese need to be reasonable when they fought back against the other tribes?
After a long debate, no one was able to come to a conclusion, so King Chen had no choice but to announce that they would discuss it another day. From the bottom of their hearts, whether it was the King Chen or the ministers, none of them were willing to surrender. However, the Han army had already entered the Chen Han. Their army lost again and again, and they simply could not fight back, so they had no choice but to surrender. Right now, their only goal was to gain some benefits for themselves.
Chen Han was not big, with a total of less than 3,000 inhabitants, but there was actually more than a thousand Chen Han armies. Ever since the CHEN Han emissary returned, the citizens of the Imperial City started to get busy. They bought everything they could eat and wear, preparing for their escape.
On the second day, some families had already started to flee, immediately bringing with them a tide of escape. All of them dragged their children, supporting each other as they fled into the deep mountains. In just a day's time, most of the Imperial City was already gone, only the soldiers were still wandering around.
CHEN Han emissary repeatedly tried to persuade King Chen, hoping that he would change his mind. But to no avail, CHEN Han emissary couldn't help but to be thoroughly disappointed. Right now, not only was the King Chen not allowed to see him again, he was also not allowed to go out as he liked, lest he talk about the fierceness of the Chinese.
That afternoon, CHEN Han emissary was sitting in his backyard with his mouth shut. The depressed CHEN Han emissary could only look at the dead leaves on the ground and feel depressed. Just as he was sighing towards the sky, a maid suddenly came in from the palace, saying that she had sent a box of snacks to the CHEN Han emissary on behalf of the Queen.
"What time is it? Are you still in the mood to try snacks?"
Looking at these exquisite snacks, CHEN Han emissary could not help but reveal a bitter smile. The current Queen, who was his sister, had been out of favour for many years. She lived alone in the palace and the King Chen didn't even look at her. However, now that the kingdom was in trouble, how could she have the mood to make these small snacks?
However, this was after all a snack cooked by his sister. He could not throw it away or give it to the servants, so he could only eat it by himself. He had to open the box and admire the pastries. It had to be said that the queen's culinary skills were quite good. Her exquisite pastries were like many pieces of art.
"Mm …"
Just as CHEN Han emissary was about to open the dessert, he suddenly realized that there was a small piece of bamboo inside. Without moving, he chased the servants away, then went back to his room and pulled out the piece of bamboo from his spot in his heart.
"Wu Qi."
There was only one word on that small piece of bamboo, but CHEN Han emissary immediately understood what the queen meant. Since King Chen could not listen to his advice, he had to give it some advice. The CHEN Han emissary deduced that even though the Queen was ignored, the Queen was still very clear about everything that happened in the palace. Furthermore, the Queen was in favour of the agreement that he had reached with the Han people.
But the armies of the Chen Han were all controlled by Yin Di, and the palace guards were all controlled by the King Chen, what kind of power did he have to teach them a lesson? With those hundred plus emissary guards, perhaps even the palace guards wouldn't be enough to defeat them.
Just as he was thinking about that, a servant suddenly came in and reported that the First Prince had come. The First Prince was the Queen's biological son and also the successor to the King Chen. He was in charge of the royal guards. Suddenly, he understood. Could it be that the First Prince was called by the Queen?
"Greetings His Royal Highness. The streets are in chaos, His Royal Highness, what orders do you have to hit this old one? " CHEN Han emissary was not sure of First Prince's motive for coming here, but he had no choice but to open his mouth to probe. At this time, he had to be extremely careful, the King Chen did not allow him to meet anyone casually, if he let the King Chen know that he was at home meeting the First Prince, the King Chen would not forgive him.
First Prince was a tall, sturdy man, which was not common in the Chen Han. He bowed to the prince and then stood quietly beside him. Although he was a noble Uncle Wang, he was still an official in front of the princes, so he had no choice but to stand.
"Uncle Wang, the people in Imperial City are all busy preparing to escape, why aren't you prepared?" First Prince laughed and said indifferently.
"Chen Han is only such a small place, where can we go? Even if she ran into the mountains, what could she do? Even Pitiful Moslems was hiding in the mountains, wasn't it already destroyed by the Han army? " No matter what, the First Prince was still his nephew.
"Uncle Wang, do we really have no hope at all?" At that time when the First Prince was not in the imperial court, he had to personally listen to what the Uncle Wang had to say.
Finally, he said, "His Royal Highness, the current situation is, regardless of whether we agree to it or not, the Han Army's Iron Heel has already entered the Chen Han. There are only two paths for us, either death or surrender. The ministers who encouraged His Royal Highness Prince Chen to hide in the mountains were afraid of losing their official positions, because they wanted to think for themselves. His Royal Highness, please think about it, didn't Pitiful Moslems also hide in the mountains, but weren't they exterminated too? "
"Uncle Wang is right." First Prince nodded his head, his expression turning serious: "Uncle Wang, right now, the Han army is invincible, the people in Imperial City are panicking, but the ministers are still fighting for power and the Father is still hesitating, Uncle Wang, what should we do to save the people in Chen Han?"
"Well, I'll be frank. His Royal Highness, are you able to control the palace? " CHEN Han emissary suddenly felt that at the very end, if he did not make a move now and then, he would really become the Mute Eunuch of the Han Chinese. Even if they did not succeed, they could still bring their tribes and surrender to the Chinese. It could be said that they had preserved a trace of bloodline for the people of Chen Han.
"Absolutely!" As the Crown Prince, First Prince was in charge of the palace guards, he had absolute confidence in controlling the palace.
"There's no time to lose, we'll immediately make our move, I'll follow you back to the palace and control the King Chen, then give him an order to remove Yin Di from his duties, and let me take over the position of Grand Commander. Then, immediately send people to capture all the ministers, I will lead some people to take over the Chen Han's army. " Although she only had a little more than 100 people, with King Chen's orders, even those Generals wouldn't dare to disobey.
"Uncle Wang, what should we do now?" No matter what, that was his Father, he did not want to have the reputation of murdering his father and seizing the throne on his back.
"After we capture those ministers, we can try to persuade King Chen. He will change his mind." After all, this was the King Chen, and he did not plan to do anything to it. Since he was about to surrender to the Chinese anyway, that throne no longer had any meaning. The reason why King Chen didn't want to surrender was because he couldn't bear to give up his current position.
