In the eyes of many people, the Shiyu Kingdom has a vast territory and rich resources, and it covers eight counties. Whether a war fails or not does not matter at all, let alone being linked to the country's subjugation.

Therefore, Xi Linan and others can safely sell out the country's interests for gold and silver.

Therefore, in order to satisfy his appetite, Yang Benzhong did not forget to bring his favorite cooks, pots and pans when he went to the military camp, and actually filled a carriage. By the time he arrived at the military camp, it was already delayed by a whole day beyond the originally scheduled time.

.

Even though there were a lot of criticisms in the army, Yang Benzhong still turned a deaf ear to it.

He also answered the deputy general's questions plausibly.

In his words, a general does not need to share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers. He only needs to know the rewards and punishments. Those who deserve rewards will be rewarded and those who deserve punishment will be punished. As long as he can lead them to continuously make great achievements, he will be able to win the soldiers.

of respect.

There were a total of 80,000 reinforcements composed of three towns. Yang Benzhong simply ordered the generals to restrain his sergeants, and after swearing, he issued the order to set off.

At this point, ten days have passed since Zheng Xin sent troops to ask for help.

…

"Boss, Shanggu City is really almost undefendable. Why don't we withdraw?"

In the ruins of the city, the soldiers held on to Zheng Xin's sleeves and begged their general.

Zheng Xin was already red-blooded, and if the deputy general hadn't stopped him quickly with his quick eyesight, the gaping sword in his hand would have struck the soldier.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming. As long as you hold on, hold on to the lane, the death of the Chetuo people is coming..."

Even though Zheng Xin was hugged from behind, his eyes were red and he kept shouting.

"General, there are no reinforcements! All of us have been betrayed by that dog emperor. For ten days, the promised reinforcements have not even been seen. Let's go, you no longer owe that dog emperor!"

There were still tears on the confidant's face.

Shanggu City had been destroyed three days ago. The exhausted guards did not notice that there was a secret passage outside the city that led directly to the city. Just like that, on a dark night, the Chetuo warriors who entered the city in the dark set fire to the city.

It caused a commotion, and the inside and outside cooperated to trick the city gate into opening.

At this point, Shanggu City fell.

However, after the fall of Shanggu City, Zheng Xin did not escape. Instead, he led the remaining soldiers to break into pieces. Using his familiarity with the lanes of Shanggu City, he actually started a street fight with the Chetuo people.

As of today, almost everyone in the city is dead, except for dozens of people surrounding Zheng Xin, especially those who are stubbornly resisting.

The soldiers finally broke through the siege and reported back, telling Zheng Xin the good news of the approaching reinforcements.

This is also the driving force behind the defenders' ability to survive to this day.

I just didn't expect that after waiting and waiting, two days had passed since the originally agreed time, but Zheng Xin still didn't see the reinforcements. The completely disappointed guards in the upper valley burst out with resentment. Some officers and soldiers even tried to kidnap Zheng Xin and go to the car.

King Tuo asked for credit.

Fortunately, the cronies discovered it in time and put an end to the mutiny.

However, this also reduced the number of remaining soldiers to less than fifty.

"Why?"

Zheng Xin leaned on the earthen wall and looked at the sky stained by the black smoke of the fire, showing a puzzled expression.

It was obvious that the whole city was working together to kill the enemy, but why did the reinforcements that were supposed to arrive not show up? It was obvious that so many people did not deserve to die, but they all died in the hands of their own people.

His firm confidence was shaken from the moment he joined the army, leaving him with only confusion and confusion.

At this moment, a close confidant suddenly ran in in a panic.

"No, General..."

Before he could finish speaking, a man's rough voice came from outside the room.

"People inside, listen, your majesty is magnanimous. As long as General Zheng sincerely surrenders, all past mistakes will be forgotten, and the rest will be spared the death penalty. Don't be stubborn!"

Immediately, there was a sound of soldiers moving around, and it was obvious that the Chetuo people had completely surrounded the courtyard where the defenders last lived.

When Zheng Xin heard this, his bloody eyes widened and he was about to rush out and fight to the death with the Chetuo people.

The henchmen of the left and right guards exchanged glances with each other, and suddenly struck out to knock Zheng Xin unconscious.

Not long after, a soldier who had taken off his armor walked out unarmed, raising his hands in the air, and plucked up the courage to ask.

"If my general is willing to surrender, are you really willing to let me wait for a chance to survive?"

Willing to surrender?

Qu Shaoqing pondered for a moment and then agreed.

This man is a useful talent. With only 7,000 defenders and the people in the city, he defended Shanggu City for eleven days. Even when the city gate was captured, and the street fighting lasted until this moment, such an opponent should get his respect.

Although I don’t know why the other party changed his mind, and it is somewhat different from King Chetuo’s guess, it is obvious that a living Zheng Xin is more valuable than a dead Zheng Xin.

After receiving the promise from Qu Shaoqing, a general whose identity was extraordinary, the man ran back into the courtyard. Not long after, three or four people came out surrounded by Zheng Xin, who was still unconscious. The leader looked at Qu Shaoqing warily.

Sir.

"The general has been brought out by our brothers. Are you really willing to keep your promise?"

This person is Zheng Xin's deputy general.

Looking at the unconscious Zheng Xin, Qu Shaoqing immediately understood something in his heart and agreed with a smile.

"Of course. As long as your general is willing to surrender to my king, all the promises I made before, and I will guarantee them with my life will still count."

These words seemed to give everyone a dose of reassurance.

Besides, even if you don't believe it, what can you do? The other party has more people and strength, and if you want to capture them, you will only have to pay a higher price.

"Then we surrender!"

The deputy general was the first to drop his weapon and spat fiercely in the direction of the royal city, completely cutting off his last thoughts.

"We are willing to surrender."

Seeing that someone had already set an example, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all dropped their weapons.

He knelt down towards Qu Shaoqing.

At this point, all their debts to Shi Yu have been repaid, and now it is King Shi Yu who owes them.

Everyone was escorted away by Qu Shaoqing's cronies. As for Zheng Xin, his hands and feet were tied and carried back to King Chetuo's camp by two people. The moment they passed each other, the deputy general suddenly asked.

"Have the reinforcements outside the city arrived..."

Qu Shaoqing raised his head strangely and looked at the other person, but that person's eyes were looking leisurely into the distance and did not meet his eyes.

"Reinforcements?"

Qu Shaoqing let out a sneer.

"There are no reinforcements. In the eyes of your newly appointed coach, you soldiers are not as valuable as his cooks!"

The moment he got the news, he couldn't believe it. The majestic commander of the army actually delayed the army's departure for a cook. It was simply unreasonable for Shi Yu to survive.

When the deputy general heard this, his eyes were blank, as if he was wondering if he had heard the wrong words.

Could this kind of person be the newly appointed commander-in-chief of King Shi Yu?
