Chapter 354: Lian Po's Death Battle
The Jin Emperor's tone is now very humble.
Those who should leave have already left.
Today, the most powerful person in Shangjing City is Lian Po.
He was afraid that the other party would not agree to surrender.
That's why I asked in a tentative and pleading tone.
There is no trace of the imperial majesty of the past.
Hearing his words, Lian Po was stunned.
He never expected that the Emperor of Jin would say such words.
"His Majesty!"
Lian Po stood up suddenly, a little angry.
"The soldiers at the front are fighting bloody battles. Are you telling me you want to surrender now?"
He really wanted to ask, what were you doing so far?
For a moment, he didn't realize that he had been struggling to resist the Qin army for so long.
Who are we fighting for?
For the people?
He had heard that every time the Qin army captured a city, they would treat the people there well.
Even the people in some towns that were captured by the Qin army early on.
With the support of the Qin Ministry of Revenue, his life is much better than before.
Therefore, from the perspective of the common people, it is not impossible for Jin to be destroyed by Qin.
For justice?
Although the conflicts among nations have a long history, they are all of the same origin.
To be loyal to the emperor?
The Emperor is about to surrender...
At this time, Ji Chong'er saw Lian Po was angry, and said earnestly:
"Old General, please understand the situation clearly. We are doomed to fail."
"Instead of waiting for the Qin army to break through the city gate, it is better to surrender."
"This way, even if you and I become prisoners of the Qin army, we won't end up dead!"
Indeed, if he and Lian Po had surrendered voluntarily.
Even if the Qin State wanted to show off to the world, it would still treat the two of them well.
However, is Lian Po the kind of person who would live in disgrace?
He clenched his fists, stared at Ji Chong'er, and said in a deep voice:
"If Your Majesty wishes to surrender, I will not stop you!"
"But I have made up my mind and decided to fight to the death!"
Hearing this, Ji Chong'er could no longer bear it and said angrily:
"Lian Po, you are the subject, I am the king. I am informing you now, open the city and surrender immediately!"
It was a long time after the words were spoken.
Lian Po did not respond at all, but just looked at the other person as if he was looking at a prostitute.
Ji Chong'er gradually felt that he seemed to have told a joke.
Based on my current situation, what qualifications do I have to order Lian Po around?
When people are in a good mood, they are ministers.
When I'm in a bad mood, I'm afraid I might kill myself in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, Ji Chong'er couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:
"Lian Po, Lian Po, I thought you were truly a loyal minister."
"I regret not listening to Guo Kai and actually giving you more power!"
When Guo Kai was mentioned, Lian Po became furious.
"Take care, Your Majesty!"
After he said this, he left without looking back.
Seeing this, Ji Chong'er couldn't help but grit his teeth.
About half an hour passed.
Ji Chong'er heard from the eunuch that it was the Minister of Revenue Tu'an Jia who wanted to see him.
It was this person who advised him to surrender to the Qin Dynasty.
When Tu'an Jia arrived here and was about to kneel down, he heard Ji Chong'er's voice.
"Lian Po was determined to fight to the death and was unwilling to surrender."
Hearing this, Tu'an Jia frowned deeply and said, "If the Qin army really breaks through Shangjing City, I'm afraid your Majesty's life will be in jeopardy..."
He didn't dare say anything more.
Ji Chong'er sighed and said worriedly, "I know this too, but there's nothing I can do."
"After all, Lian Po controls all military power. With just one command from him, over a hundred thousand soldiers will fight for him."
At this moment, an idea suddenly came to Tu'anjia's mind. He whispered:
"Your Majesty, I have dozens of retainers in my palace. If all else fails... I will plot to kill Lian Po!"
-------------------------------------
After Lian Po returned to the top of the city wall, he did not reveal to the soldiers what the Jin emperor was thinking.
He has decided to fight to the death.
One day later.
The Qin army began to attack the city again.
This time, Xu Chu and Dian Wei led the troops together.
Under Lian Po's command, the Qin army was defeated again.
But Lian Po already had a bad feeling in his heart.
The Qin army attacked cities more and more frequently.
In other words, they decided to take over Shangjing City in the shortest possible time.
As expected.
The next day.
Xiahou Dun led another 100,000-strong army to attack the city.
Moreover, the main attack was on the north gate.
That place was defended by Hu Ze's army.
Outside Shangjing City.
The Qin army lined up.
Then, waves of heart-shaking voices rang out:
"wind!"
"Wind! Wind!"
"Strong wind!"
“…”
Every time the Qin army soldiers shouted such slogans, there were only two possible results.
First, they would let the archers shoot countless sharp arrows first, and then the rest of them would prepare to charge.
Second, it boosts courage and inspires people.
But no matter which one it is, it will herald the beginning of a war.
Sure enough, in an instant, countless sharp arrows were shot towards the top of the capital city.
Hu Zhe quickly ordered his soldiers to defend.
"Raise your shield!"
As soon as the words fell.
At a glance, the entire city was covered with shields.
"Fireball, release!"
On the Qin army side, Xiahou Dun changed his strategy when he saw the enemy shields raised.
