Li Chengbing slumped on the throne, as if all his energy and spirit had been drained away.
The army in the hands of the prince was his last hope. Now, not only had half of the men run away, but he had no more food or supplies.
"It's over, everything is over." Li Chengbing muttered to himself, his face pale.
He regrets it now.
Why did you listen to the prince and start a war with Wei?
Why can't we just be a vassal state?
It's okay now.
There are 50,000 troops at the gate of the city, and the prince's army cannot be relied upon.
If he didn't think of any other solution, Gaoyang Kingdom would probably perish in his hands.
At this moment, he couldn't help but look at the ministers in the hall and said, "Everyone, do you have any way to save Gaoyang from danger?"
Below, all the ministers of Gaoyang State looked embarrassed and began to shake their heads.
The huge army under the prince's command has already exhausted the entire country's strength.
The country is now empty and there is no reinforcement at all.
What else can we do?
Finally, a minister hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's best to surrender. Otherwise, if we wait for the Wei army to attack, we won't be able to hold the capital with only 10,000 men. Once they break into the city..."
He didn't say any more, but everyone knew what was going to happen.
The country is destroyed and the people die!
It's not just these ministers.
Even the entire Gaoyang royal family was not spared.
But if you choose to surrender, you may be able to save your life.
Therefore, none of the ministers present stood up to object, because there was no other way.
The capital city cannot be defended, and there are no reinforcements. There are only two options waiting for them: death or surrender...
After hearing these words, Li Chengbing fell silent, because he had already anticipated this result.
The entire hall fell into silence.
Until an hour later.
King Gaoyang Li Chengbing compromised because he did not want to die, so he stood up and ordered people to take out the Gaoyang national seal.
Then, he led all his ministers out of the hall and out of the royal city.
Under Gaoping City.
The deputy generals of the Wei Dynasty looked at the capital of Gaoyang in front of them, all with frowns on their faces.
Several hours had passed since they besieged the city, but there was still no movement inside, so some people could not help it.
But Song Hongzhi half-closed his eyes, as if he had everything planned out for himself.
that's all.
Not long after.
The Gaoping city gate opened.
King Li Chengbing of Gaoyang walked out holding the national seal and draped in white silk.
Dozens of ministers, also draped in white silk, followed behind with their heads bowed.
Then he walked through the city gate step by step and approached the Wei army.
The deputy generals of the Wei Dynasty saw this scene.
All of them smiled.
Song Hongzhi opened his eyes at this moment and muttered to himself: "Gaoyang Kingdom, destroyed!"
