At this moment, the ministers inside the hall could no longer remain still.
They all clasped their hands in a fist salute to the Emperor of Northern Qi.
"Your Majesty, I take my leave!"
"Your Majesty, I take my leave!"
"We take our leave!"
"..."
The Second Prince has already attacked; these are all civil officials, utterly powerless, and even if they were kept alive, they wouldn't be of any help.
And one wrong move and you could lose your life.
They had to leave the palace, this place of trouble, as soon as possible.
"You...you..." The Emperor of Northern Qi cried out in anguish, feeling the despair of being betrayed and abandoned by everyone.
...The imperial guards had just arrived at the gates of Qi capital,
On the city wall, General Liang's sword was pressed against the neck of General Wu, the garrison commander of Qi.
A heavy stroke,
Then, General Wu's head flew to the ground and rolled down the steps from the city tower.
General Liang actually killed the garrison commander of Qi with his own hands?
The guards were terrified.
Looking again at his side, there stood the tall Dongjin commander, Gu Qian.
He froze, turned his body, and walked away from the city gate.
General Liang stood high atop the city wall, his voice deep and resonant as he began to persuade them to surrender.
"Soldiers, as you have all seen, the outcome of the war between Northern Qi and Dongjin is already clear."
"Live or die, the choice is yours!"
On the city wall, Commandant Qin looked down at the Northern Qi enemy troops below.
General Gu said, those who surrender will not be killed!
The soldiers guarding the city knew something was terribly wrong, and seeing that General Liang had already surrendered, they all knelt down before Gu Qian.
"We are willing to surrender to General Gu and follow his lead from now on!"
It's already come to this point.
Moreover, their commanders had already died under General Liang's blade.
If they do not surrender, death is the only thing waiting for them.
They were tired of war; if they could live, no one wanted to die.
"General Gu, we surrender!"
General Liang watched helplessly as his soldiers lay beneath him.
Suddenly, I was overwhelmed with emotion.
He thought that persuading these soldiers to surrender would require a lot of talking.
Unexpectedly, they agreed to surrender without hesitation.
It's all their emperor's fault; he's too cruel.
It's also Gu Qian's fault; he somehow managed to get so much artillery fire.
Gu Qian is right; a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on.
Two more loud thuds were heard.
The city gate was smashed.
The sound of horses' hooves filled the air, a mighty and imposing procession, and just like that, they entered the capital city of Qi.
"Alright, rest where you are!" Gu Qian's order left the Dongjin Army and the surrendered Northern Qi soldiers completely bewildered.
Gu Qian did not offer any explanation, but instead watched as Feng Qi approached and entered the city gate.
Feng Qi and his troops also marched in a grand procession.
They entered the capital of Qi without any hindrance and went straight to the palace.
"General, shouldn't we go and meet the Emperor of Northern Qi?" Captain Qin asked Gu Qian, somewhat puzzled.
General Liang watched the departing figures of Feng Qi and his soldiers.
"Didn't your people go?"
Captain Qin shook his head; they were simply not on the same side.
They only cooperated temporarily for their own benefit.
"I won't go." Gu Qian's entry into the city was now complete.
He leaned against the city wall, glanced at the sky, and
It was already late afternoon.
He hadn't had lunch yet when he realized he was a little hungry.
"Let's go eat."
"Huh?" Captain Qin was completely baffled.
However, speaking of food, he was actually quite hungry.
At this moment, the originally crowded people in the city had already hidden in the shadows.
At that time, the capital city of Qi was deserted, with its wide streets of all sizes.
All the people in the city who had cellars hid inside them.
Those without cellars hid them in wardrobes, under beds, and so on.
Therefore, the meals that Gu Qian ate were prepared by General Liang's men.
