Chapter 215 Surrender
Ye Qingyan left some people on the city wall, and the rest began to deal with the defenders in the city.
General Zhang Yang shouted on the street with a megaphone: "Southern Vietnamese Army, General Huyan has surrendered. If you surrender, the Eastern Qin commander will spare your lives."
The other South Vietnamese soldiers in the city panicked and rushed into the city.
If they didn't surrender, they would die. As the saying goes, it is better to live a miserable life than to die, so they all surrendered.
Outside the city, the two armies were in a stalemate...
The Eastern Qin army did not dare to take any action and were all waiting for Ye Qingyan's order.
The situation in the city was almost resolved, and Ye Qingyan teleported outside the city.
"Hu Yanzhuo, you are the general defending the city, but now the city has been lost.
There are two paths now: the first is to be beheaded, the second is to surrender to us.
We, the Eastern Qin, will certainly destroy the Southern Yue. You were loyal to the Lord, but it is a pity that your Lord soon became the ruler of a fallen nation."
Huo Xian was young after all, and his mind was quick: "Old General, the trend is irresistible. We should surrender."
Hu Yanzhuo sighed and then said, "If they surrender, can the Eastern Qin commander keep his promise and spare their lives?"
Ye Qingyan promised: "I will do what I say!"
"it is good!"
Hu Yanzhuo turned to the Nanyue army and said, "Commendations, now that Baiyi City has been lost, you have elders and children to support, so surrender to the Eastern Qin."
He came to Huo Xian and said, "Huo Xian, Baiyi City is an important gateway to Nanyue. Now that it has been opened, I, the general, have become a sinner.
You have also seen that the Eastern Qin army is invincible and is determined to unify the world.
Those who know the current situation are heroes. These people have followed this general for many years. I cannot let them die, so they will teach you."
After saying this, he drew his sword and stabbed himself in the heart.
"No!" Huo Xian hurried forward and hugged Hu Yanzhuo who was about to fall.
"Old General, you can't die, military doctor, military doctor!"
Hu Yanzhuo smiled and said, "Huo Xian, don't be sad. The Emperor of Nanyue has been very kind to me, and I cannot betray him.
I am old now, and even if I die, it will be worth it."
"No, old general, old general!" Huo Xian hugged Hu Yanzhuo, tears streaming down his face.
The veteran general Hu Yanzhuo closed his eyes with reluctance.
Ye Qingyan didn't expect that Hu Yanzhuo was so loyal that he would rather die than surrender.
Huo Xian slowly placed Hu Yanzhuo on the ground. He wiped his tears with the back of his hand and knelt on one knee in front of Ye Qingyan. "General Huo Xian, the surrendered general of Baiyi, leads all his soldiers to surrender sincerely."
The South Vietnamese soldiers dropped their swords, knelt, and shouted in unison: "We surrender."
Ye Qingyan looked at them, "Okay, everyone please stand up!"
Huo Xian clasped his fists and said to Ye Qingyan, "Thank you, Marshal, for not killing me. I will take them away right away."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Ye Qingyan hurriedly stopped him: "General Huo, please stay. Dong Qin is in need of men. Are you willing to bring these men to serve Dong Qin and continue to guard Baiyi City?"
General Huo Xian stopped immediately, looking a little puzzled: "You said you still want us to defend the city?"
Ye Qingyan's eyes were filled with ruthlessness: "That's right, but you must be loyal. If I discover any evil intentions, you will also die, and will be executed by slow slicing."
Huo Xian immediately knelt down and said, "Marshal, I am willing to swear allegiance to Dong Qin until death. As long as Dong Qin exists, Huo Xian exists. I am willing to live and die with Dong Qin!"
Ye Qingyan admired Huo Xian for his quick turn.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, remember what you said today, live and die with Dong Qin."
"Enter the city!"
In order to create a deterrent effect, Ye Qingyan waved her hand and brought everyone present into the city.
Huo Xian and the Nanyue soldiers understood clearly this time that there was no need to attack the city because it could be solved with a wave of their hands.
He can take a city without any effort, and no one can match his ability.
In the future, the emperor of Dong Qin will be the ruler of the world, and I cannot have any other thoughts.
After arriving in the city, we stayed for three days to reorganize.
Ye Qingyan transferred another thousand troops from Qingzhou City to help defend the city.

Nanyue Royal Palace
During the morning court session, Emperor Nanyue was so angry that he immediately threw the express letter that had been sent over 800 miles to the ground.
His lips twisted in anger, and every word was like a flame bursting from the depths of his heart, burning and blinding: "My two hundred thousand troops were all killed in Hanyou Valley, General Dugu died in battle, and the Imperial Master is nowhere to be found.
Baiyi City and several other cities were lost, and General Hu Yanzhuo died for his country!"
He clenched his fist like a hammer and slammed it down on the dragon table, "I never thought that the Eastern Qin army would be so powerful.
Our Nanyue Kingdom is not big. It won’t be long before they attack the imperial city. I will never let this happen.
What are your thoughts, my ministers? Who is willing to lead the troops there?"
Those ministers who usually talked big shut their mouths and lowered their heads.
They all thought to themselves: Who would be willing to go and die?
The Nanyue Emperor was furious and slammed the table and stood up: "Don't you usually talk a lot? Now that the country is in crisis, how can you be so silent?"
All the ministers knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am guilty and deserve death!"
"Prince, how about you lead the troops into battle?"
Crown Prince Xiao Daocheng quickly knelt down and said, "I have been seriously ill recently. I am willing but unable to do anything. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The eyes of the Nanyue Emperor flashed with fire, and his voice became even colder and harsher: "Look, this is the prince you chose, a timid prince.
He is still trying to protect himself when the country is in crisis. Without a country, there is no home. My Xiao family does not have such unfilial descendants.
Come, revoke the title of Crown Prince and demote him to a commoner."
"Father, I know I was wrong. Please don't abolish me."
The king is not joking. The prince only then realized that disaster was about to happen.
The Grand Marshal pleaded: "Your Majesty, calm down and give the prince a chance to reform. Let him serve on the battlefield and make meritorious service."
The prince's party also began to plead: "Your Majesty, the prince is still young, and the current situation is turbulent. It is better to allow him to atone for his crimes."
The Emperor of Nanyue said coldly: "I don't need a weak and incompetent prince.
Third Prince Xiao Tianzuo, you will lead 300,000 cavalrymen to meet the enemy."
Xiao Tianzuo came out and clasped his fists: "Your son obeys your order and swears to drive the Eastern Qin army out of the country."
"Good, this is what my son should be like. Here is the tiger talisman, use it to mobilize the troops."
Xiao Tianzuo took the tiger talisman and walked out.
When he passed by the deposed crown prince, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said mockingly, "Prince, no, you have been demoted to a commoner. It's a pity that you will never have a chance to turn things around.
This king will lead his troops to war, and when he returns victorious, the throne of crown prince will be his."
Crown Prince Xiao Daocheng looked at his back coldly: "What's there to be proud of? Maybe you will never come back.
I am a commoner and can still survive, but I am afraid you will lose your life."
On the second day, Nanxiang's 300,000-man army set out...
Ye Qingyan led the army southward and was less than 500 miles away from the Nanyue Imperial Palace...
