Chapter 377 The World Cultivation Reduces the Face

5days ago traverse Novels 2
Outside the east city of Chengdu Prefecture, more than 50,000 troops slowly approached the towering capital on the plain.From the far end of the city, it seemed that the ocean was spreading to the Shu Kingdom Basin, with a vast ocean of people.

Mrs. Huarui was wrapped tightly and climbed to the top of the city with the company of several eunuchs, wanting to see the moment when this country was destroyed.She seemed to hear some broken sound deep in her heart.

The city walls of Chengdu Prefecture have no smell of war, and even a lot of peonies were planted. When Meng Chang got Mrs. Huarui's whim, he issued an imperial edict to plant everywhere, and even there were many on the city walls, but now the flowers have faded... Because Mrs. Huarui likes peonies, but later people have gradually forgotten how so many peonies were planted.

This tall city wall looks majestic, but in fact it has not been tested by war for a long time.

Under the city wall, a cavalry of hundreds of people was rectifying the queue.

Marshal Hou Mao, the Grand Marshal of the Army, went out of the city to fight with the order. There were only a few people who could get enough. The soldiers who were unwilling to come out were not forced.

Hou Mao drew out his sword, and the soldiers took the long weapons in their hands and turned on their horses one after another.The flag in front says: Da Shu.

Hou Mao shouted loudly: Dukes, the weapons we have in our hands are to protect the people of Shu!Now, the capital is about to be ravaged by the enemy. Do we have the face to watch the people being trampled?

The troops were in an uproar and shouted: No!A soldier can be killed but not humiliated!

The general shouted: In this battle, we will fight to the last person with the determination to die, and we will do our best to defend the territory!

Hou Mao gritted his teeth and nodded, sighing: Good brother... Hou Mao is a person who has not passed the imperial examination several times. He is quite touched at the moment. Spring has passed and flowers have fallen, but next spring, the heroic spirit of the hero will turn into flying flowers floating above Chengdu Prefecture and beautiful peonies blooming on the city walls, guarding the ancient city and the rich hometown forever...

On the city wall, Mrs. Huarui was crying and almost fainted when she saw this. She choked and said: My real husband is dead, the city is empty, and only the weak are left to live a life of silence and endure humiliation...

At this moment, Hou Mao pointed his sword in front of him, and a group of horse soldiers began to jog forward and rushed straight to the central sea of ​​people of the 50,000 Zhou army.

Just like a drop of water in the sea, it cannot cause any turmoil.There seemed to be a fight in the distant place, the sound was faintly, ethereal and vague...

……

Meng Chang issued an order for Li Hao to surrender to the Zhou army with absolute superior combat power, and to announce the demise of Shu.

Li Hao received an order to write a surrender letter. He was preparing to go to the Zhou army camp early the next morning. When he opened the door, he saw a few big words on the door: Shi Xiu surrendered to the Li family.

Li Hao's beard stood up in anger. He reached out to tear off the paper, but stopped and sighed.

When the Former Shu Kingdom was destroyed, it was also written by Li Hao. Now that the Great Shu Kingdom was destroyed, the surrender came from his hands.It seems that people are not wrong to scold... Li Hao witnessed the destruction of the two regimes.

There were two other people who followed Li Hao out of the city, one was Wang Zhaoyuan's sn in law Li Liangyou, and the other was the eunuch Wei Zhong, who was sent by the concubine Huarui.

The three of them took a carriage and went to the Zhou army camp along the main road. Wherever they went, they saw the Zhou army flags were like clouds, the people were purged, and the camp tents were arranged in an orderly manner, which was nothing different from the Shu army's military appearance.

The scout on the road asked about the situation and escorted them to the camp while sending people back to report.

Not long after, a team of neat cavalry came towards us. A young man who was tall and tall, clasped his fists and said: Dong Zunhui, the vanguard of the Great Zhou imperial guards, was ordered to welcome the envoy of Shu. Please!

Li Hao and others got out of the carriage to greet each other, and then continued on the carriage. The cavalry was in the way and never encountered cross-examination again.

When we reached the tent, we saw two rows of heavy armored infantry covered with strange iron plates, all tall and strong men, covered with iron, Ka, Ka, Ka... The heavy and neat footsteps were very shocking.

Seeing this, Li Hao thought to himself: How can the Shu army be defeated?

A general raised his sword in front of him, and the soldiers turned around by the road, raised their cherry guns neatly with a loud bang, and stood on both sides with their heads raised and their chests raised.

The cavalry general dismounted and said: Only the envoys of Shu Kingdom were allowed to come in and see General Guo, and the rest were obeying the orders outside.

Li Hao calmed down and followed the general who asked Dong Zunhui to walk towards the tent.As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the tent, I actually heard the voice of Hou Mao who had spoken in the hall that day: It is useless to say more, but I want to die!

Another low and gentle voice said: I don’t want to hear how you say how to die, I want to hear how all the people in Shu live.

Lord, the envoy of Shu Kingdom has arrived!Another voice said.

Li Hao was taken in and saw a tall and upright general sitting on the top, with a straight face and a bit rough bronze skin... So young, Li Hao did not expect that the most powerful general in Zhou Jun, who is known as Guo Blacksmith, was such a young man.

This person is just a general of the Zhou army, not an emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. Even if Shu surrenders, he doesn't have to kneel down according to etiquette.

Li Hao thought about it for a moment, looked at Hou Mao sideways, and bowed: Li Hao, the Prime Minister of Shu Kingdom, pays homage to General Guo according to the will of the monarch.

The person above nodded, just staring at him without saying anything.

Li Hao held the surrender in both hands: The Shu army was defeated, and the Great Zhou army is at the city. My country does not want to see the misfortune of life, so he offered surrender to the Great Zhou and apologized for the guilt...

...Guo Shao got the demotion form and unfolded it quietly and looked at it first, then carefully put it back on the envelope.He turned around and said: 700 miles in expedited to deliver to the Queen Mother of Tokyo.

Get order.

Guo Shao still didn't talk to Li Hao. This kind of cold situation made Li Hao look a little nervous.Guo Shao glanced at him and finally said: At this time, Mr. Li is very nervous, right?

Li Hao said: A minister who has lost his country can only be dealt with by General Guo, and it is useless to be nervous.

Guo Shao said: Actually, I am also concerned about the demise of the Shu regime. This is not the end, it is just the beginning.The Meng family has ruled Shu for decades. The Shu people have become accustomed to it. They will feel the humiliation of the destruction of the country...

Li Hao and Hou Mao both stood there in surprise, without saying a word.

Guo Shao turned his head and looked at Hou Mao, and said: There is not no one in Shu Kingdom. General Hou rushed to our formation with hundreds of people. This courage is worthy of our army's respect.

After saying that, he opened his booklet, searched for it, found Li Hao from the sloppy handwriting, and then reviewed the news collected from prisoners of war and officials of Shu Kingdom.

As he looked, he unconsciously knocked on the rough chopping board with his fingers.

Li Xianggong, his reputation in Shu Kingdom is not very good.Guo Shao said with a smile.

Li Hao was speechless.

Guo Shao said: But looking at a person does not all depend on his reputation, but also on what he did and said.I think Shu Kingdom mainly listened to you earlier, and maybe I could defend it for a while.

Li Hao hurriedly said: Everyone is their master, and the criminal officials are not determined to be enemies with the Great Zhou.

Guo Shao said: Mr. Li, you have seen the destruction of the former Shu Kingdom. You should understand that this is just an alternation of ruling power, right?

Back to the Marshal, yes.Li Hao replied respectfully that as long as the Zhou court treats the people of Shu well, everyone will soon return to their hearts, no matter who is in power, they will be their own family.

Guo Shao immediately became interested: Xianggong Li thought, what should our dynasty do in Shu?

Li Hao hesitated for a while before he said: Try to avoid burning, killing, looting and restoring the government's laws as soon as possible.The criminal officials said that although the Zhou army occupied Shu, once the uprising in all directions was aroused, and they would have to mobilize troops to quell the rebellion, it would probably be more than worth the loss.

Every word is a gem!Guo Shao said, Shu no longer exists, and your original official will be gone.I am currently appointing you as the "Sentence of Chengdu Prefecture". The official is smaller than the original one. Are you willing to do it?

Li Hao looked surprised: Does Marshal Guo trust the guilty official?

Guo Shao looked at his face without saying a word.

Li Hao immediately bowed: The emperor thanked Marshal Guo and was willing to accept the order.

Hou Mao beside him said in a daze: Mr. Li, you...

Li Hao said: We should be glad!You have also surrendered!

Guo Shao said again: I led elite troops into the city, and only took over the city gate defense. The army set up camp outside the city, prohibiting entry into the city, and waiting for military orders.Strictly order all tribes not to hurt the people, otherwise the crime will be increased.

Li Hao was even more happy after hearing this.

Guo Shao said: Let’s settle the matter in the camp for the time being. When I make arrangements, you will follow me to the city to hand over the defense.

Then he turned to look at Hou Mao, reached out and took out a piece of paper: Go home with the soldiers.If I figure it out one day, I will come to me with this visitor before I left Chengdu, and I will ask you to continue to be a general of the Zhou army.If I really don’t want to, I let my brothers go home and live a good life.

Hou Mao's expression was extremely complicated and he blurted out: What does Marshal Guo mean? Then why should I fight to the death?for what……

Guo Shao said: For your "Emperor of Great Shu", he continued to eat the people and scattered the money for fun.I heard that the Lord of Shu raised tens of thousands of beauties?It's really enough to form a Detachment of Women.Let's go!

Hou Mao took the paper from the guards, shook his head and walked out of the tent.The short figure pulled out a long shadow under the sunlight at the door, looking very lonely.

When all the people from Shu Kingdom left, Guo Shao's eyes swept over Cao Bin's face and looked at Xiang Gong: General Xiang has made contributions to Cao Bin, and he was kind and righteous in his subordinates, and he was completely unjust. What he said is true?

Xiang Gongdao: Xiang and Marshal Guo have known each other for many years. When did I miss Marshal Guo?

Haha... Guo Shao couldn't help laughing, Cao Bin, come and be the garrison of Chengdu Prefecture, and you will control the people stationed in various cities in Chengdu Prefecture.

Cao Bin stood up and said: The last general will receive order!

Guo Shao flipped through the booklet casually, remembering that he didn't know Cao Bin... But he seemed to have heard it vaguely. He had heard it a long time ago, but he didn't think about it very much for a while.

So I don’t know much about this general for the time being. Fortunately, the person recommended by Xiang Gong should be more reliable.

Guo Shaoxin is nothing but Cao Bin, at least he can trust Xiang Gong.
