Ancestor Above

After receiving a letter from the motherland in the north, Zheng Yu learned that Xudu had been breached, and his first reaction was not anger or bewilderment.

On the contrary, the emotion that rose in his heart even carried a sense of relief.

This feeling even made him feel a little guilty. At any rate, he is Xuanwuhou of the Great Wei, one of the two Ministers of the Great Wei, and the pillar of the country. To have such emotions is somewhat inappropriate.

However, one must be honest with one's own heart. After knowing that Xu Du had been breached and Wei had surrendered unconditionally, he really felt lucky.

He was glad that what he was most worried about didn't happen. Your Excellency the Great General, you finally made a wise choice.

What he was most afraid of was that Xia Cang still insisted on leading the people of Wei State when he knew that he was invincible. He would rather fight the people of Yan State to the end, and everything would be over.

Zheng Yu has always been a staunch supporter of General Xia Cang within Wei State. A long time ago, he was able to climb up firmly within the Wei State system step by step, his cultivation was improved step by step, and he obtained a lot of resources endowed by the state, all of which were inseparable from Xia Cang's appreciation and support. of.

Of course, he is also very grateful for this, and has always remained loyal to the general. Even after becoming a Dharma monk, he got used to the role of Xia Cang's deputy and subordinate, so he didn't have any ambitions to stand on his own.

In his opinion, under the leadership of the wise and mighty general Xia Cang, Wei Guo has abundant military virtues and strong national power, isn't that enough?

But all of this began to gradually change after Lu Qing Hengkong was born.

Especially after the battle at Dongyang Temple, after he had a deeper understanding of Lu Qing's power, he gradually had some conceptual differences with Xia Cang.

Like Xia Cang, he felt that Lu Qing was unmatched; but the difference between the two was that Xia Cang felt that no matter what, he could not sit still and try something if he couldn't beat him, such as joining forces with foreign aid, such as finding The geographical advantage is sticking to it... In short, we still have to fight hard.

Zheng Yu's thoughts are more pessimistic.

He felt that he couldn't compete with Lu Qing.

Wei State, perhaps the best destiny is to strive to be able to unite with Yan State and Qi State in a relatively peaceful manner. And under the premise of peace, as long as there is no trouble to the point where the two sides start fighting, there is still room for negotiation, and very good conditions can be negotiated. It may not be the case to retain the name of the country of Great Wei and the status of the Cao family. impossible things.

However, within the State of Wei, General Xia Cang was the one who had the final say, and Zheng Yu's right to speak was certainly inferior to General Xia Cang's.

What's more, his thoughts, in his own opinion, are rational, and he also believes that he is dedicated to the country, which is the best solution for the future of Wei.

However, even so, he thought rationally, if he dared to put forward his ideas openly, it would definitely be impossible. This kind of pessimistic and capitulation-like idea is bound to meet with full opposition.

It's not that he didn't try to hint his thoughts to Xia Cang secretly, but it didn't work. Even just saying it in such a cryptic manner met with Xia Cang's very fierce attitude.

What else can I do? Zheng Yu could only bury his thoughts in his heart.

But at the moment, when he heard that the Yan army was going south to attack the Wei State, especially after Xu Capital City was breached and Lu Qing had made it clear that he would take action himself, his heart was in his throat.

But luckily, the worst didn't really happen. After all, Xia Cang did not completely abandon the royal family and the people of Wei State and chose to fight to the end, but followed the general trend and chose to surrender.

Although, the so-called 'unconditional' surrender, how it will be dealt with in the future can only depend on the meaning of the Lu family, and it can even be called the death of the country. However, this is better than the end of people dying,

Much better.

...

Looking at the dejected Wei Guo monks who had all given up resistance, especially Zheng Yu at the front, Wei Yun and Lu Chaohe felt a sense of unreality in their hearts.

Wei Guo... really surrendered?

The main enemy to the south of Great Yan, the Wei State, which has been relying on the Dahe line of defense in the past years, has suppressed Yan State almost to the point of suffocation, is this the end?

But no matter how strong the sense of unreality is, this matter is already an established fact.

Earlier, they had received news of what had happened in Xudu, and they had been prepared to accept the surrender of the Wei army led by Zheng Yu.

They were actually very worried about whether Zheng Yu would be so obedient.

The so-called generals are outside, and the emperor's orders are not accepted. Will they really surrender obediently?

The collapse of the country, the surrender of the emperor and the general, must have been very, very sudden for the countrymen who were on an expedition. For a while, you may not be able to accept it, do some irrational things, or continue to resist, which is normal.

And if Wei Jun doesn't surrender, Weiyun and Lu Chaohe really have no good way to deal with it.

After all, no matter what, the current situation here in Wu State is quite unfavorable for the Yan-Qi Allied Forces. The internal sorting out work of Qi State's main force is still in turmoil, and Chu State is watching covetously from the west again. If Zheng Yu really didn't care about it and insisted on doing things with Chu people, it would be really troublesome.

However, unexpectedly, Zheng Yu surrendered very simply.

Weiyun, Lu Chaohe didn't know what Zheng Yu was thinking, but no matter what, it was a great thing.

They did not treat these Wei people who surrendered harshly.

On the northern border of the state of Wu, a large area has been marked out, and the spiritual veins here will temporarily become the station of the troops of the state of Wei led by Zheng Yu.

These spiritual veins' mountain protection formations are all in a state of being destroyed and dismantled. As long as these monks of the Wei Kingdom stay in these spiritual veins and don't try to rebuild the mountain guard array, don't try to leave collectively, and don't make any changes, then they can do whatever they want in this area without any restrictions. .

The Yan-Qi Allied Forces left only a small force to monitor the situation of these surrenders.

The team led by Zheng Yu is quite honest.

The situation in the north, as far as Jingping is concerned, for the Yan-Qi coalition forces, this great threat is equivalent to being lifted. Next, they could finally devote most of their strength to the southwest direction to confront Chu State.
