Domineering prince, your princess is a bit fierce
Chapter 172: Lord of the country, please consider the soldiers of Cang Yue Kingdom!
"Your country is quite sincere, but go back and tell your king that we will not accept peace!"
"Cang Yue Kingdom has no choice but to surrender!" King Jin said domineeringly.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the Zhou Dynasty had this idea!
King Jin looked at him blankly and didn't mind at all.
"I'll give you ten days to think about it. You can either voluntarily submit to the Zhou Dynasty and become our vassal state from now on, or you can be directly attacked by me!"
"At that time, you will only become slaves to the subjugation of the country!"
The envoy was so frightened that it took him a while to recover: "I'll go back and inform the king right now!"
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he immediately left the Zhou camp as if fleeing.
The generals laughed out loud when they saw this situation.
"These grandsons now cast a shadow on our soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty!" Vice General Qian said.
"Hahaha, that's right! We don't eat people, so we can run so fast!" Wei Ziyu rarely teased.
"Your Majesty, it seems that our previous strategy was very successful!" Vice General Zhou said with a smile.
"This is what I want! It's too late to sue for peace now!" King Jin said.
"My lord, do you think they will be willing to attach themselves to our Zhou Dynasty?" Wei Ziyu asked.
In the military camp, he always called King Jin Wangye to show respect, instead of calling him brother-in-law.
"Unless their kings completely disregard the life and death of their soldiers, they will choose to attach themselves to our Great Zhou Dynasty!" King Jin said.
"It's really hard to tell!" Vice General Qian guessed.
Cangyue Kingdom Palace Hall
When Li Yuan relayed King Jin's words to the king, he saw that the king's face was very pale!
The ministers in the DPRK all looked at each other in confusion, not expecting that the Zhou Dynasty would think this way.
It was originally thought that they had been delaying a large-scale attack because they wanted to wait for them to take the initiative to sue for peace.
It turns out that the purpose is to slowly reduce their strength, causing the army to lose morale, and then to capture it in one fell swoop.
"Don't even think about it! Even if I fight to the last soldier, I will never surrender!" the king said with a majestic look.
The ministers didn't dare to speak. To be honest, they couldn't fight now. If they continued to fight, they would just let innocent soldiers die.
If you don't fight and surrender directly, the king will never be willing!
What a dilemma!
Most of the ministers still want to surrender. After all, the Zhou Dynasty is relatively strong now. It is not necessarily bad for them to be dependent on them.
Maybe after becoming attached, the development of Cang Yue Country will get better and better.
After all, if the two countries are connected, they can promote economic exchanges and drive the development of the entire country.
At the same time, the Zhou Dynasty will also protect them, and then their people can live a comfortable life.
It is not a war every now and then.
The leader of the Cang Yue Kingdom is warlike. During the years he has been in power, he has always used various means to launch wars.
Invade other countries’ land and expand their territory.
But at the same time, this is also very wasteful of people and money.
War requires manpower, material resources and financial resources, and this continues all year round.
Taxes are getting higher and higher, and the people are miserable.
Although the Zhou Dynasty came to attack their Cang Yue country this time, due to emotions and reasons, it was their country's leader who was at fault first.
Desire to make the Zhou Dynasty rich!
They all knew that the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty did not advocate war and had been recuperating.
Peace has always been the most important thing! The request was really too much, so he would send the King of Jin to send troops to fight to defend his country's territory!
This is how the Jin King's reputation as the God of War came about. Every time he went on an expedition, he would definitely return in triumph!
Over time, the reputation of the "God of War" spread like wildfire.
The Prime Minister of Cangyue Kingdom stood up at this time: "My lord, I think it is not shameful to surrender!"
"The current strength of the Zhou Dynasty is far beyond what our country can match!"
"If we continue to fight, we will only suffer heavy casualties! I hope the Lord will think twice!"
After the prime minister finished speaking, he knelt down.
The king was very angry when he heard what the prime minister said.
"Prime Minister, I think you are old! Surrendering without a fight is an insult to me!" the king said sternly.
"My lord, please think about the soldiers of Cang Yue Kingdom! Surrender! My lord, please think twice before you act!"
The prime minister was not afraid of the majesty of the king and continued to risk his life.
"Come here, pull the Prime Minister down and hit him twenty times!" the king ordered with a cold face.
Immediately, a guard came forward and pulled the prime minister down.
"Master, please have mercy! What the Prime Minister said is not unreasonable!" The imperial censor immediately begged.
"Instead of letting the soldiers lose their lives in vain, it is better to surrender. Maybe the people of Cang Yue Kingdom will live a better life!"
As soon as these words came out, the king's face became even more livid.
"What the imperial censor means is that the Cang Yue Kingdom is not doing well under my rule now!"
"Old minister made a mistake! Please punish me, Lord!" The imperial censor knew he had said the wrong thing and immediately knelt down.
"Come here, drag down the imperial censor and punish him with thirty sticks!" the king ordered again with a cold face.
Now, no one dared to plead for mercy. I'm worried that if I'm not careful, I will suffer physical pain!
This matter was settled by the king alone.
After that, anyone who dared to stand up and object would be slapped down by the king.
The prince saw all this and was very sad.
He stood up to plead for mercy, which also made his father, Emperor Longyan, furious and received a slap in the face.
He didn't mind surrendering. As long as the Zhou Dynasty could make their Cang Yue country better and better, he didn't mind changing the country's name.
He has always disliked his father's wars, wasting people and money.
He often went to tell his father about this matter, but his father didn't listen to a word and even disliked him more and more.
On the contrary, the Third Emperor's younger brother, like his father, liked war, and was the son of his father's favorite concubine, so he was deeply loved by his father.
He knew that the heir his father had always preferred was also the third prince.
The prince was lying on the bed, thinking about his strategy.
Finally decided to take the plunge.
On the sixth day, King Jin received a secret letter.
The letter was written by His Highness the Crown Prince of Cangyue Kingdom.
It was clearly stated above that the leader of Cangyue Kingdom was unwilling to surrender and advocated war to the end.
But he was willing to lead the people of Cangyue Kingdom to surrender.
When the army approaches the city, people will be arranged to open the city gate to welcome them into the city.
But King Jin must guarantee that innocent people must not be killed indiscriminately!
All the ministers in the DPRK were willing to surrender and submit to the Zhou Dynasty.
As for those who are unwilling to surrender, he will control them.
By then he will be in the palace, waiting for King Jin to arrive.
The people in the city do not want any more wars, and hope to live a peaceful and contented life.
They will also be welcome to come.
Finally, they begged to spare their father's life.
King Jin saw that the words in the letter were sincere and did not seem like he was pretending to surrender.
So he gave the letter to other generals to read.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Cangyue Kingdom, my subordinates understand." Vice General Zhou said.
"Tell me, what is this person like?" King Jin asked with interest.
