The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 765
In mid-May, the Haizhou Army, which was blocked in the rear, suddenly became chaotic. They had been suppressed and beaten by the Tianhua Army in the north, and it was already extremely difficult.Now the back road is blocked again, and there is no place to retreat.

Gu Xiong'an was very anxious. The Qingping River was occupied by the enemy. It is conceivable that something must have happened in Haizhou.Now almost all of Haizhou's troops have gathered in Jinzhou, and the interior is extremely empty.Once attacked by Tianhua, it is impossible to defend against it.

Just when he was in panic, the messenger sent by his father finally arrived at the barracks.It turned out that after the river was blocked by the Tianhua Army, the messenger had to abandon his horse and swim across the Qingping River to deliver the letter.It's just such a delay, the time has already run out a lot.

When Gu Xiong'an read his father's letter, he finally knew that for some reason, the Tianhua Army was not attacked and killed by the navy, but entered Haizhou openly.At the time of his writing, the Tianhua Army had led at least 5 troops to besiege Jinghai City.

Seeing this, Gu Xiong'an couldn't help but feel cold. There are less than [-] defenders in Jinghai City. How can it stop the attack of [-] Tianhua troops?Even if he retreated from Jinzhou, it would take nearly a month to reach Jinghai City.What's more, now that the back road is blocked, the return period is even more hopeless.

what to do?At this moment, a guard outside the door hurriedly came to report: "General Qi, outside the camp there are Tianhua soldiers who claim to be from Haizhou, and they say they have a letter from their family."

What, Tianhuajun, a letter from home?Gu Xiong'an couldn't help but staggered, he immediately realized that Jinghai City had already fallen, and my father had also been captured by Tianhua.Their Haizhou army has become a lone army.

He ordered someone to bring the letter and read it. Sure enough, Gu Baichuan stated in the letter that Jinghai City fell in less than a day, and he had already surrendered to Tianhua for the sake of his family.Emperor Tianhua has also promised that they will not pursue their Gu family's act of killing the king, but the premise is that Gu Xiong'an must surrender to the Tianhua army in order to protect the safety of the Gu family.

Gu Xiong'an silently folded the family letter, with a look of hesitation on his face.How could he be willing? After ten years of dormancy, the Gu family managed to separate themselves from one side. It is not impossible for the Gu family to become the emperor in the future.But now, he has to give up all the years of hard work and accept a path with an unpredictable future.

But now that his father was captured, the entire Gu family was taken over.How can he continue to persevere in this troubled world on his own?Once the whole army knows about Haizhou, how many people are willing to follow him?There are too many things to worry about, Gu Xiong'an is already in a state of disarray, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, Gu Xiong'an slowly stood up and ordered people to summon the generals to discuss.

After the crowd arrived, Gu Xiong'an no longer kept his secrets, and immediately revealed the matter of Haizhou to everyone.After the generals learned that Haizhou had fallen, they immediately fell into panic.The families of most of them are in Haizhou, so they can't help but hastily advise Gu Xiong'an to retreat.

Gu Xiong'an smiled wryly, and sighed: "This general also wants to retreat, but the Qingping River has been occupied by the Tianhua Navy, and our army can't go south at all."

"Well, what should we do then?" The generals couldn't help but panic and panic.

"Everyone, my father has sent a letter." Gu Xiong'an signaled everyone to be quiet, and said in a deep voice, "After the fall of Jinghai City, my father led the people to surrender, and your family is safe. Moreover, my father endured the humiliation and finally begged Emperor Tianhua for mercy." , as long as our army is willing to surrender to Tianhua, we will forgive our crimes. This general called you here this time to discuss this matter."

When everyone heard the words, their hearts were relieved, and they immediately looked at each other, cautiously, not daring to speak.

Gu Xiong'an took a look, and he didn't know what they were thinking, so he couldn't help but said: "Everyone, at this critical juncture, the lives of 20 soldiers of our army are involved, please speak up without any worries."

With Gu Xiong'an's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after a short while, a general mustered up his courage to stand up and said: "General, now Haizhou has fallen, and the family members of our 20 soldiers are all in Tianhua's hands. We have no choice but to surrender."

Gu Xiong'an nodded to him, motioned him to sit down, and then turned his gaze to the crowd.

With the first opening, the rest of the people finally began to speak enthusiastically, basically choosing to surrender.From their point of view, the Cao and Gu families are now at the end of their ropes, and even if they don't surrender, it will be nothing more than a delay for some time, which is meaningless at all.On the contrary, because they continued to resist, their own family suffered because of themselves.What's more, most of the 20 troops now come from Haizhou. Now that Haizhou can't return, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be completely shattered.

After everyone present expressed their opinions, the unwillingness in Gu Xiong'an's heart finally disappeared without a trace.Even the generals have lost their fighting spirit, how can he continue to persevere?
So, after everyone reached an agreement, they immediately rushed to the front, handed over the surrender document to the Tianhua army, and asked the other party to accept it.

In late May, Luo Yi, who sits in the north of Jinzhou, finally received a letter of surrender from the Haizhou Army.He was very surprised by this. The Haizhou Army still has at least nearly 20 soldiers and horses. Although they are retreating steadily, they have not yet reached the end of the mountain. Choose to surrender?
After opening the document, Luo Yi couldn't help but stand up in shock, with an excited look on his face, which aroused the doubts of all the military officials.

"Haha! Your Majesty is indeed an auspicious person with a natural appearance and destiny." Luo Yi laughed and said, "I will immediately inform the whole army that your majesty has captured Haizhou and forced all the Haizhou army to surrender. Order The whole army will step up their offensive and join forces with His Majesty on the banks of the Qingping River!"

When the civil officials heard the words, they couldn't help being overjoyed, and congratulated His Majesty on the victory and defeat of the Mandate of Heaven, and saved the day from danger.Then immediately rushed out of the big tent and dispatched people to spread the good news to the whole army.

Not long after, the soldiers stationed in the camp at the rear suddenly burst into cheers, and the sound shook for more than ten miles.

Luo Yi was also very excited, and hurriedly wrote a letter, tied it to the carrier pigeon, and asked it to go to Huayuan City with the news.These days, the entire court has been in chaos, and everyone is prepared for the worst. Once His Majesty dies, Tianhua will be ready to deal with the rebellion of the four directions and the siege of various countries.But now that His Majesty is safe, the entire Tianhua Kingdom will be stable again.

What Luo Yi cared about the most was his daughter. After learning that His Majesty was in danger, Qing'er shed tears every day.If it wasn't for her to stand up and support the prince to supervise the country, she would have collapsed long ago.When she got the news, at least she could feel at ease.

Looking at the request for surrender on the table, Luo Yi couldn't help showing a hint of relief, "The war in the Central Plains is finally coming to an end."
