Chapter 448: Qin Hui seeks peace and is condemned by thousands of people
Mid-June of the fifth year of Taichu.
The news of the fall of Shuozhou spread throughout the Qin Dynasty.
At the critical moment when Ying Yuan was attacking Qizhou of Yan State.
The sudden invasion of a foreign race was a heavy blow to the people of Qin.
It seemed as if the boundless sky above the Qin State had become gloomy, as if covered by a haze.
People in the northern towns were evacuating towards Xianyang.
Daji personally ordered that the people be settled at all costs.
At such a critical moment, the court no longer had enough manpower.
However, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles she faced, the biggest reason why she never gave up on the people was...
I want to protect this home for Ying Yuan.
Yanzhou.
Xu Miaoyun, dressed in military uniform, and several of Zhu Di's sons have been defending the city for more than half a month.
Originally, there were about 30,000 defenders in Yanzhou.
After Xu Miaoyun's mobilization, many people also participated in the important task of defending the city.
At its peak, the Yanzhou garrison had exceeded 100,000.
But after half a month of hard fighting.
Today, the Yanzhou garrison has only 30,000 to 40,000 troops.
Almost all the young and middle-aged men in the city have participated in this battle.
If we continue to mobilize, it will be the elderly, the weak, women and children who will be the targets.
But once that time comes, everyone will know it.
Yanzhou can no longer be defended.
Zhu Gaochi and his mother Xu Miaoyun were on the top of the city wall, inspecting the wounded.
Xu Miaoyun personally treated every wounded soldier.
At this moment, just as Xu Miaoyun squatted down and bandaged the wound of a wounded soldier.
Zhu Gaochi suddenly received a piece of news, and was startled. He bowed and said:
"Mother, something terrible is happening..."
He didn't say anything else.
Because Xu Miaoyun glared at him fiercely.
Afterwards, the mother and son came to a place with fewer people.
Xu Miaoyun then slowly asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Gaochi said solemnly, "Shuozhou has been lost, General Yu has been killed in action, and our Yanzhou has become an isolated city."
He originally thought that his mother would be shocked when she heard the news.
However, unexpectedly, Xu Miaoyun simply nodded and responded, "I understand."
knew?
Just these three words?
No further news?
Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "Mother, if Yanzhou doesn't receive reinforcements, I'm afraid...it will be conquered by foreign invaders sooner or later."
Xu Miaoyun shook her head. "At this point, there's nothing more I can hide from you. We don't have any reinforcements in Yanzhou."
No reinforcements?
Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice: "Then this Yanzhou..."
Xu Miaoyun said decisively: "The city survives as long as people live; the city is destroyed and people die."
The saying "women are as good as men" is just like this.
Zhu Gaochi was worried. "There's no problem holding on to the throne. I'm just worried that this beautiful land will be trampled by foreign invaders..."
Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "The three giants of the grassland... don't even have the courage to raise their heads in front of Your Majesty."
"As long as we can hold on until His Majesty arrives to help, these mere foreign races are not worth mentioning. However, by then, we in Yanzhou will no longer be able to worry about them."
The implication is that by that time, the entire Yanzhou will be occupied by foreign races.
She and Zhu Gaochi will both die.
"Arrange some reliable personnel to escort Zhu Zhanji out of the city when Yanzhou falls."
Xu Miaoyun had just finished speaking.
Then we saw a large number of enemy troops gathering outside Yanzhou City again.
The general responsible for attacking Yanzhou was Wanyan Aguda.
In Ying Yuan’s previous life.
This is an extremely powerful man.
He was the founding emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.
During his reign, the Jin Dynasty was at its most powerful.
A moment later.
The entire Yanzhou sounded the clarion call to meet the enemy.
Xu Miaoyun's eyes were firm. He drew out the sword in his hand, raised it high above his head, and said loudly to all the soldiers defending the city:
"Everyone, for the Great Qin, for His Majesty, for the King of Yan, and for the people of Yanzhou!"
"Today, I will stand with you and defend the city gates to the death. We will live and die together, and we will never retreat!"
"All troops, listen up! Prepare to fight and kill the enemy!"
“…”
--------------
The moment the court decided to negotiate peace.
An envoy had already been sent to contact Temujin first.
now.
In the Xuanzheng Hall.
Daji summoned Qin Hui alone and said earnestly:
"Foreign races have slaughtered countless people in our Great Qin. The old Qin people are all filled with anger."
"Therefore, falsely seeking peace with foreign races cannot be spread throughout the world in the name of the imperial court."
"Otherwise, the imperial court will chill the hearts of the Qin people."
Speaking of this.
Qin Hui roughly understood what the other party meant.
He smiled and said, "If it were the Great Qin during the second or third year of Chengping, I would have taken the initiative to propose a genuine peace treaty with the foreign race."
"But now... after so many years, the Great Qin has become so powerful under the leadership of Your Majesty."
"I will never, and will never allow, any stain to be seen in the history books of our Great Qin, or in the people's evaluation of our Great Qin."
To put it bluntly, if it were placed in the formerly weak Qin State.
So he doesn't care what people in the world think of Qin.
It would be enough for him if he could just stop the war and stay in a corner for a while.
But now...
Ying Yuan treated him well.
He can bear that infamy.
The Qin State should not have the stain of seeking peace with foreign races.
