Chapter 524 Just give up when you’re ready

Huangjia Town.

North Tower.

As Murong Zhengye and his four companions walked up to the city wall, they saw the hot air balloons floating in the air outside the city wall. They were so dense that they stretched as far as the eye could see.

On the way here, the four people were still hoping that perhaps there was no Feitian Battalion among the Yan army surrounding the town. Now their hopes were shattered and the Feitian Battalion they feared the most was right before their eyes. The four people's hearts sank in an instant and their faces turned very ugly.

It's over, it's completely over now.

This was the common feeling of the four people at this moment. As for breaking out, they didn't even dare to think about it, because there was only a small space at the entrance of the town. In front of the 50,000 Yan troops equipped with bombs, leaving the town would mean suicide.

Seeing the three princes, the generals led by Peng Ning all bowed and saluted, "Prince, the Yan army has been silent."

Murong Zhengye waved his hand and went straight to the edge of the city wall. He looked at the neat military formation under the city wall and the countless hot air balloons behind the military formation. Suddenly, he felt his scalp tingling.

Huangjia Town is such a tiny place. Once the Flying Battalion launches a bombing, I'm afraid I'll be killed without leaving a trace.

As soon as Murong Zhengye and the other three appeared on the city wall, a faint smile appeared on Lin Feng's face, and he immediately put down the telescope in his hand.

"The real master is here. Please follow me to meet them."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he walked down from the command platform and rode towards the front of the army. Seeing this, Gong Yuan, Liu Song, Song Dian and Qin Jingyun immediately followed him.

At Lin Feng's signal, Gong Yuan immediately rode forward and shouted, "His Royal Highness the Great Yanxian King is here. Those upstairs, please report your names quickly."

Miyahara's voice came, and the three brothers looked at each other, and finally nodded together. There was nothing they could do, and they had to compromise in order to survive.

The three brothers all bowed to the outside of the city wall and said, "Prince Zhuang of Yue, Murong Zhengye, Prince Gong, Murong Zhengguo, and Prince Xian, Murong Zhengyang greet the virtuous king of Yan."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Three of you, your current situation is clear to you all even if I don't tell you. I will give you a quarter of an hour to decide whether to fight or surrender. When the time is up, the Flying Camp will take off immediately."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he turned his horse and walked towards the command desk. Miyahara and the other four immediately followed him.

Lin Feng returned to the command platform and just sat down on the chair when he found that Song Dian and Qin Jingyun seemed to be hesitant to speak. He immediately smiled and said, "General Song and General Qin, you two can just speak directly if you have anything to say."

Song Dian immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, your words of persuasion to surrender are just one sentence, isn't this too simple and direct!"

"Your Highness, you only gave them a quarter of an hour to consider. This time is too short. What if they wanted to surrender but didn't have enough time to reach a consensus?"

Qin Jingyun was also very anxious. After all, he was able to capture 150,000 troops without bloodshed, so he naturally hoped that such a feat would be foolproof.

Lin Feng pointed to the chairs behind the two men with a smile on his face, "Generals, please take a seat. The current situation of the Vietnamese army is very clear. If I don't make it clear directly, the other side will think that we are not confident enough."

"As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more dreams one may have. The reason why I only gave them a quarter of an hour to consider is because if they consider for too long, they will inevitably have other unrealistic ideas."

"The reason why I am pressing so hard is to make them feel that we have absolute confidence and ability to win this battle, and we are not afraid that they will not surrender."

"To persuade someone to surrender, you don't necessarily have to make a long speech. Sometimes a short sentence is enough, and the effect will be better."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he looked at Liu Song with a smile on his face, "Liu Zhangjian, do you think my attempt to persuade them to surrender will be successful?"

Liu Song quickly stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I think they will agree to surrender soon, and it won't take even a quarter of an hour."

Lin Feng immediately became interested when he heard it, "Oh! Tell me your reasons."

"To persuade them to surrender, sometimes the more you say, the more likely they will think you are guilty. On the contrary, the tougher your attitude is and the more you push them, the more likely they will think you don't want them to surrender at all, and that you are just pretending to persuade them to surrender. This will greatly increase the chances of them agreeing to surrender."

"This is human nature. I think Your Majesty's understanding of human nature has reached a level that ordinary people cannot reach. I have learned a lot."

After Liu Song finished speaking, he bowed respectfully towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng waved his hand quickly, "Master Liu, you are too kind. Actually, my intention is not as complicated as you think. However, your analysis of human nature is indeed very reasonable, and I agree with it very much."

"Your Majesty, we agree to surrender, but we also have conditions. Please come forward and speak."

At this moment, Murong Zhengye's voice suddenly came from the city wall.

"It seems that it will take less than a quarter of an hour. Let's go and listen to their conditions."

Lin Feng's face lit up with joy, and he immediately stood up and walked down the command platform, followed by Miyahara and the other four.

Soon, Lin Feng and his four companions rode to the front of the battle formation again. "The king is here. Tell us your terms!"

"Xian Wang, we have three conditions. As long as you agree to these three conditions, we will leave the town and surrender immediately. First, after we surrender, we hope that His Majesty the Emperor Yan can continue to retain our titles. Second, after we surrender, we hope that His Majesty the Emperor Yan can agree that we can continue to stay in our original fiefdom. Third, the 150,000 troops under our command will continue to be managed by ourselves."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, then said loudly: "Three of you, it seems that you still don't understand your current situation! First, it is absolutely impossible to retain the title of king. Even if you agree to surrender, you can only be made an earl at most. Second, after you surrender, you must move to Fengyang City. Third, the 150,000 troops under your command will also obey the orders of His Majesty."

"This is the best condition I can agree to for you. There is still some time until the 15th hour. The military order on the battlefield is as firm as a mountain. When the time comes, the Flying Battalion will immediately take off. It is up to you to decide whether to fight or surrender. You should take the time to think about it carefully!"

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he immediately turned his horse and walked towards the command desk without any hesitation.

On the city wall, the three brothers looked at each other.

Murong Zhengye spoke first, "Lin Feng's attitude is very tough. It seems that the earl is the highest price Lin Feng can offer. Once the Feitian Battalion is launched, the consequences will be disastrous. It will be too late to regret it then. Let's quit while we are ahead!"

The situation is stronger than people. We are at the mercy of others. When choosing between life and death, no one will choose death. Murong Zhengguo and Murong Zhengyang could only nod their heads helplessly to show their agreement.

"Your Highness, we accept the conditions you have given us. We agree to surrender."

Lin Feng's face lit up, and he immediately turned his horse to look at Song Dian and Qin Jingyun behind him, "General Song, General Qin, I will leave the task of receiving the prisoners to you. First, let them throw their weapons down from the city wall, and then walk out of Huangjia Town one by one."

"Yes, Your Majesty! I promise to complete the mission!"

Song Dian and Qin Jingyun were overjoyed and immediately turned their horses and headed towards the city gate of Huangjia Town...
