Xiao Yunyou's gaze shifted from Yao Hai's face to Old Madam Yao's face, and then to Yao Wenhong's face.
He lowered his eyelids and sighed deeply.
This is something we have to face sooner or later. The closer we are to the capital, the more familiar faces and relatives we will meet.
It is impossible to stop this war just because of these familiar faces.
As long as war begins, there will inevitably be casualties, this is normal...
He could guess that the next general sent by Emperor Wu of Liang to resist the Heavenly God Army would definitely be Bai Hong.
Looking around, Bai Hong is the most powerful and capable person in Daliang State.
The Heavenly God Army has reached the gates of the capital, so Emperor Wu of Liang can't possibly play this trump card...
......
"Prepare!"
Xiao Yunzhan looked at the ready catapult and raised his hand, ready to launch an attack at any time.
At this time, the soldiers on the East Gate Tower saw the catapult and were so frightened that they ran down the tower.
Just when Xiao Yunzhan was about to shout the word "launch".
The East Gate of the city opened with a creaky sound!
Yu Weigang was so frightened when he saw the huge army of gods preparing for battle across from the city gate that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he ran fast enough. If he had run a little slower, unnecessary casualties would have occurred.
"Quick, wave the flag!"
Sun, the yamen runner who followed Yu Weigang, immediately raised the flag that he had prepared long ago and waved it high and vigorously.
Yu Weigang turned his head to look at the huge crowd of city guards coming down from the city gate tower, followed by him, frowned and shouted,
"Quick, everyone, get to both sides of the city gate. Anyone with white cloth, take it out and wave it..."
Really, if such a large group of people suddenly rushed out, what if the Tianshen army thought they were attacking?
Upon hearing this, the cowardly soldiers immediately lined up into two teams, stood obediently on both sides of the city gate, and began to search their bodies for any traces of white cloth.
After a while, some soldiers waved their grayish-white handkerchiefs, some took off their washed-out coats and shook them, and some tore off their black and white underwear and shook them...
Yu Weigang stretched his neck to look at the army of gods opposite him. Looking at the erected catapults, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Shout, surrender!"
Yu Weigang gave instructions to the yamen officer Sun.
If the opponent threw a stone at him, he wouldn't have time to run away.
It was all because of Prefect Tong and his group, who stayed in Dongmen City and wasted a lot of his time.
Sun Yayi glanced at Yu Weigang, waving a white flag and shouting at the top of his voice,
"Stop fighting, we surrender, we surrender..."
The soldiers standing in line on both sides were stunned for a moment, and immediately started shouting in hoarse voices,
"Surrender, we surrender..."
“…”
Lin Changshou, who was hiding in a ditch and watching the enemy situation, twitched his mouth twice when he heard the shouts of the soldiers from Dongmen City.
He climbed out of the ditch with his butt sticking out and ran back.
“Report!!!”
When they were still a hundred meters away from the main force, Lin Changshou started shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Dongmen City surrendered!!!"
Lin Yiran had already heard the shouts of the soldiers at the East Gate, and when she heard the news from Lin Changshou at close range, she burst out laughing.
In the year of natural disaster, if there is a rebellion, whoever has water and food will rule the world.
It was so easy to capture these cities that it didn't even feel like a war.
Xiao Yunzhan naturally also heard the shouts of surrender from Dongmen City, otherwise he would have ordered his soldiers to throw stones.
"Standing next to the waving flag is the one in the attire of the East Gate City Prefect."
Xiao Yunzhan picked up the telescope and took a look, then turned to Lin Yiran and said.
Lin Yiran smiled faintly, "He is a man who knows the current situation."
Xiao Yunzhan frowned slightly, "I just don't know if it's a trick!"
With so many people in Dongmen City, how could they surrender without any resistance?
Those people are all loyal followers of Emperor Wu of Liang.
When Yao Hai heard Lin Changshou's shout, his face lit up with joy. He immediately rode his horse to Xiao Yunzhan's side and just heard Xiao Yunzhan's doubts.
He pursed his lips, took a step forward and said,
"Prince Yongchang may not know that the prefect of Dongmen City is my wife's cousin, Yu Weigang."
"He has always loved the people like his own children and is not rigid. As long as it is good for the people, he will do it."
"Emperor Wu of Liang previously increased taxes, but only Dongmen City resisted the pressure and didn't pay, paying only its normal share..."
"So, it's normal for him to surrender for the sake of the people..."
In order to help the people survive the famine, Yu Weigang collected less taxes when the harvest was poor. As a result, Dongmen City did not pay enough taxes year after year, and his political achievements were always below standard, so Yu Weigang was not promoted.
Otherwise, with Yu Weigang's ability, he would have been promoted long ago.
