Chapter 508 Surrender? No! I'm just loyal to Xia Kingdom in a way(2/2)
After hearing what Liao Gu said, Qiu Tianlu raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and said:
"Do you know where I received the remaining scars?"...
Without waiting for anyone to speculate, Qiu Tianlu immediately informed:
"It was during the Yangpingguan breakout battle that year. I led my soldiers to clear the way for the army to fight to the death, trying to break out of the siege! Yun General Yang Zaixing left three or four fatal wounds on my body!"
"And at that time, the Daxing County reinforcements sent were only twenty or thirty miles away from our troops!"
"But in the end, because they were afraid of the Yun army's front, worried that their retreat would be cut off, and because I was extremely unpopular in the army, the reinforcements chose to retreat and reported to the Central Government that they could not rescue them in time and that our entire army had been wiped out."
The generals in the tent only knew that Qiu Tianlu died in battle, but they did not know that there was such a reason, and they could not help but be stunned by it.
Liao Gu sighed and continued:
"I don't know much about this matter. But when the news of your death in battle came back to the capital, His Majesty was extremely sad and immediately ordered you to be granted the title of General and a title. This is a great favor to your family!"
Qiu Tianlu sneered several times, gritted his teeth and said:
"Haha, the reinforcement general at the time was not a powerful figure, so it was impossible to block the news. The other generals in the tent may not be aware of it, but I don't believe you, Liao Gu, you haven't heard any rumors!"
"I don't believe it even more. The Xiuyi Agent has spies all over the country, and Yu Zhaoling doesn't know anything about it!"
"Just because I have no loyal confidants in the army, my old friend, Yu Zhaoling, in order to appease the troops of Daxing County, actually chose to suppress the matter and not pursue it any further. The idea of mourning after death is just a trick!"
When all the generals heard this, they all immediately looked towards the chief's seat. When they saw their own commander, sitting on the commander's seat, bowing their heads in silence, they suddenly understood in their hearts.
This matter is most likely true!
They never imagined that there was such a hidden secret in the Yangpingguan defeat that shocked the government and the public!
A famous general in the army, who had worked diligently and loyally for more than 20 years, was finally found dead by Pao Ze. After his "death", he still had to bear the reputation of being an incompetent leader. It was really chilling.
For a moment, they actually understood why Qiu Tianlu chose to serve the Yun Kingdom now.
Qiu Tianlu looked at the generals in the tent and began to avoid his sight. He took a deep breath, pulled up his clothes again, and said in a deep voice:
"I am now the Second Prince of Dayun and the Prince and Grand Tutor of Jiangyang County.
I am responsible for enlightening His Highness in reading and teaching martial arts."
"Although His Highness is five years old, he is smart and has outstanding qualifications. He is loved by His Majesty today. The most important thing is that His Highness is the daughter of Emperor Rou Ning!"
"Now that Da Yun is dominating the world, it is a foregone conclusion and unstoppable. I will protect Da Xia with all my strength, which may be the last trace of blood of the descendants of the Emperor of Da Xia. I, Qiu Tianlu, will never be sorry for Da Xia!"
Having said that, Qiu Tianlu said no more, turned and left under the complicated eyes of the generals.
For a long time after Qiu Tianlu left, there was a dead silence in the entire Chinese army tent.
"Will we end up like him before?"
I don't know who said this, and all the generals' eyes immediately turned around, their hearts wandered, everyone had their own thoughts, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
If you think about it carefully, Xia Jun, who has been holding Qichang City for several months now, is in the same situation as Qiu Tianlu, or even worse. If they were abandoned by the court, how would they feel about it?
On the throne, Liao Gu saw the expressions of the generals and remained silent, with a faint look flashing in his eyes.
With Yun's army so strong, Xia had no hope of victory, so why bother to persist and only increase casualties?
Humans are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? He is deeply trusted and relied upon by his hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If he had the choice, he would never send them to die!
Now, with this psychological attack method, if he can make his subordinates surrender to the Yun Kingdom and reduce casualties, it will make him feel less guilty.
After today's persuasion to surrender, the generals were shaken and had different thoughts. They no longer worked together as before to defend Qichang City.
Some people think of Qiu Tianlu being abandoned by Pao Ze, and the injustice he suffered was treated with indifference by the court, and they can't help but feel cold in their hearts, feeling the sadness of a rabbit dead and a fox dead.
Some people thought of the second prince who was the daughter of Emperor Rou Ning and who was of the Xia royal family's blood, and began to contemplate surrender in their hearts.
After all, the general trend of the world is so powerful that it is difficult to stop it. Even if I surrender, I am just changing my loyalty to the Xia Kingdom royal family. My loyalty can be shown by the sun and the moon, and it can be shown by the sun and the moon!
After continuing to hold on for several days, the generals lost their fighting spirit and their psychological defenses were almost collapsed. Finally, most of the Xia army surrendered. Only a handful of generals who refused to surrender led their loyal followers to escape from Qichang City overnight, and continued
resistance.
