Chapter 1908: The Qin King’s Special Envoy Ye Qingmei
Chapter 1906: The Qin King’s Special Envoy Ye Qingmei
Before Huo Qubing''s army arrived, Su Dingfang continued to attack the city. After five days of attack, he paid another 5,000 casualties, but the casualties in Yanjing were as high as 30,000.
Obviously, Yanjing City is about to run out of fuel, and the reason why we can continue to hold on is just to fill in the lives of human beings.
Five days later, Huo Qubing''s 55,000 army finally arrived at the city of Yanjing and joined with Su Dingfang''s 45,000 army, and the general of the Qin army also soared to 100,000.
As for the total number of defenders in Yanjing City, the total casualties reached 70,000, which lost nearly 70,000 troops.
More than half of the 30,000 regular soldiers have suffered casualties, and the 10,000 family soldiers have been wiped out, and only more than 10,000 were left in the initial recruitment.
Although there are still 60,000 defenders in Yanjing City, four-fifths of them are civilians. How could there be no reason for the 100,000 Qin troops to attack such Yanjing City?
"Military advisor, General Huo Bing, you are finally here."
After Huo Qubing and Zhang Liang arrived, Su Dingfang went out to the camp to meet him for ten miles and smiled and said, "With General Huo Bing''s help, why worry about Yanjing''s failure?"
"Even if there is no Huo, the Yanjing City can''t stop Su Shuai. Instead, Huo came to grab a point of credit. Please don''t mind Su Shuai." Huo Qubing said with a modest look on his face.
Before entering the camp, Huo Qubing had already visited the city walls. The city walls had been cracked and the city defense was even more optional. It was obvious that Yanjing was already on the verge of breaking the city.
Even if Huo Qubing did not lead reinforcements, Su Dingfang could still conquer Yanjing, but the casualties might be greater.
"What does General Huo mean? They are all his brothers, so there is no way to grab them or not." Su Dingfang said.
Huo Qubing felt relieved when he heard this.
The city of Yanjing is about to be destroyed. Such a great contribution can be taken as long as people come, and Huo Qubing arrives at the last moment. This is suspected of malicious robbery.
Huo Qubing was also afraid that Su Dingfang would feel dissatisfied with this, but Su Dingfang''s mind was far beyond his expectations, and he didn''t care about giving him a single point of credit, which made Huo Qubing admire him very much.
"Now our army is gathered with 100,000 troops. Even if Yanjing City is a turtle shell, it can still be smashed directly."
Su Dingfang''s eyes were full of confidence, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Send the order and the whole army will attack..."
The word "city" has not been said yet, but someone here comes to report: "Report to the Grand Marshal, the lord''s special envoy is here."
Su Dingfang was unwilling to be neglected and hurriedly took the generals to greet him, but he didn''t expect that a woman was walking out of the frame.
After seeing Ye Qingmei''s unfamiliar face, Su Dingfang, Huo Qubing and others all showed doubts and said: There has never been a precedent for a woman as a special envoy before. What is this woman''s identity and is qualified to become the lord''s special envoy?
Among the people, Li Hongzhang knew Ye Qingmei and immediately exclaimed: "Miss Ye, why are you here?"
Ye Qingmei smiled and said, "Of course I am talking about surrendering Liu Che."
"What?"
Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Huo Qubing and others all exclaimed, while Zhang Liang looked thoughtful.
Talking about surrendering to Liu Che? How is this possible?
Anyone in the pseudo-dynasty of the Northern Han Dynasty might surrender, but Liu Che, who was the emperor, could not, because even if he surrendered, he would not have a good ending.
In addition, Liu Che had no intention of surrendering at all. If he really wanted to surrender, how could he have swept the people of the whole city to fight against the Qin army and would rather turn Yanjing into a dead city?
"Mr. Li, what is the way Miss Ye doing to become the lord''s special envoy?" Su Dingfang asked in a low voice.
After Li Hongzhang looked at Ye Qingmei, he replied in a low voice: "She is Gongsun Xuanyuan''s sister. The lord is righteous and intends to marry the Gongsun family. She is the object of the marriage between the two families."
"Oh, so that''s it." Su Dingfang, Huo Qubing and others showed a sudden look when they crossed the east. It turned out that this relationship was inside, and the difficulty could be used as a woman as a special envoy.
But how could he let his fiancée take risks and personally come to surrender to Liu Che?
The generals were really puzzled by this.
Ye Qingmei glanced at the generals who were pointing at her and frowned and asked, "Generals, what are you talking about?"
But he thought to himself: Zhang Liang, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Huo Bing... are all historical celebrities, and they are all handsome men, but unfortunately they are all married old men.
After hearing Ye Qingmei''s words, Zhang Liang stood up and asked, "Madam, why did the lord send you as a special envoy to tell you about surrender?"
"Husband, madam?"
Ye Qing''s eyebrows slightly clumped, and then he seemed to remember something. He covered his face shyly and said, "I hate it, don''t scream, I''m not a wife."
"Okay lady."
Ye Qingmei: “…”
I don’t know how many people have mistakenly regarded her as Qin Hao’s wife. Ye Qingmei saw each other and explained it, but it was useless. Now she is too lazy to explain.
"Madam, the risk of persuading Liu Che is too high. How could the lord let you take risks in your own risk?" Xue Rengui asked.
Ye Qingmei hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "This... was what I asked for."
This time, Ye Qingmei came to lobby for Liu Che''s surrender, but it was unanimously opposed by all the civil and military officials.
Not only Qin Hao opposed it, but even his righteous brother Gongsun Xuanyuan strongly opposed her and surrendered to Liu Che, saying that he was going to die, but Ye Qingmei insisted on his decision.
Ye Qingmei believed that as Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, who would rather destroy his country than form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty, would not let his civil and military officials and the people of the whole city be buried with him.
Now the war in Youzhou is a foregone conclusion, and the Northern Han Dynasty has only four cities left, and only tens of thousands of troops are left. Continuing to resist stubbornly is just a waste of sacrifice and has no meaning at all.
Now that the Qing army is in front of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people should not continue to fight to the death. If they continue to fight, they will only be cheaper in the Qing Dynasty.
Ye Qingmei believes that as long as Liu Che and Chen Ming make a profit and arbitrary reason, he is likely to surrender voluntarily.
Ye Qingmei''s remarks convinced Qin Hao and the ministers.
The Qin army lost 25,000 elite troops under the city of Yanjing. Although it is about to conquer Yanjing, it is better for Liu Che to surrender voluntarily.
However, Qin Hao obviously did not want Ye Qingmei to go as the candidate for the messenger. After all, there are many eloquent people in the Qin army, so he would not let his fiancée take the risk as a messenger.
Ye Qingmei was very puzzled about Qin Hao''s rejection, but retorted that it was safest to use women as a means. Liu Che was a wise king of the generation, and he would not make things difficult for her, a little woman.
Qin Hao felt that what Ye Qingmei said was reasonable, and saw that Ye Qingmei was so persistent and acted like she wanted to do everything for him. She was moved and agreed to let her go to persuade Liu Che to surrender, so she sent two masters and three hundred cavalry to protect Ye Qingmei to Yanjing.
After hearing Ye Qingmei''s explanation, Su Dingfang and others suddenly realized that now they finally understood why the lord gave his wife a risk.
"Madam Gao Yi, we are convinced."
The generals saluted in unison, even the military advisor Zhang Liang looked at Ye Qingmei with respect.
Ye Qingmei''s face was full of helplessness, and she said that I was not a wife.
?The first time the guaranteed update is... The Youzhou chapter is about to end. In order to speed up the plot, the pace behind may be a little faster.
