Chapter 12: Destroy Fujian

City, town, conference hall!

There were hundreds of civil and military officials in the Fujian and Yue in the hall, which filled the hall with a lot of stuff! However, the atmosphere in the hall was very strange, not only surprisingly quiet, but also filled with a sense of despair! This can be seen clearly from the unsacred eyes of the ministers in the hall!

Even the King Wuzhu of Minyue, who sat high above the throne, lost his former majesty at this time: his face is still the same, but he has lost his former passionate spirit; the pearl crown and golden power battle, these two holy objects of the Minyue Kingdom are still dazzling, but they can no longer support the last dignity of this country!

Just now, the news that the Qin army defeated the Pu Shui Shi in Vietnam with 200,000 attacks and defeated the news of Ni Zhong's failure arrived in Chengcuncheng. After two blows, no one could have any excitement!

Looking at His Highness's anxious ministers, Wu Zhu took a breath and barely calmed down his panic. As a king, he must support this sky in times of crisis!

"You are all you have now defeated our Nanpu Navy, and you are crossing Nanpu River and rushing towards the city and village! How to deal with it now, please help me to overcome the national crisis together!" Wu Zhu is also a dead horse, hoping that a miracle will happen!

When the civil and military officials heard this, they looked at each other and bit their ears for a long time. Prime Minister Bo Yue then stepped out and said, "King, if the natural danger of Nanpuxi has been broken, although there is still Chongyangxi more than 200 miles east of Chengcun to defend the enemy, our Fujian and Yue have no troops to retreat, and no response. Therefore, I believe that the surrender should be the best!"

Wu Zhu couldn't help but twitch. For him, a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, the word "resume" has a huge blow to him! But he can't get angry now. Now he is in the face of national crisis. If he gets angry and slaughteres his ministers, wouldn't he even seek death!

So Wu Zhuqiang endured the anger in his heart and asked calmly: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Bo Yue is surrendering to the top, what about your opinions?"

Seeing that Wu Zhu didn't seem to be angry, the ministers said, "I think the situation is now hopeless, and only by surrendering can we ensure the safety of the king and the peace of the former king's tombs!" "I agree! The Qin general Fu Su is kind and kind, and will definitely treat the king well!"...

Looking at the ministers of the palace who were eager to descend, Wu Zhu couldn't help but feel like a knife cut in his heart: "It's really a disaster that is coming, everyone flew away! Before the Minyue was dead, he began to please the new master! He still kept thinking about my king and the ancestral temple. Do you really think of me as a fool!"

Seeing that Wu Zhu was speechless for a while, when the ministers were about to persuade him again, they suddenly shouted: "Shut up!" This roar was like rolling thunder, which made the echoes in the hall, making the ears numb!

When everyone heard the sound, they saw that it was the General Jinhu.

Jin Hu pointed at the ministers and said angrily: "You are waiting to eat your king's fortune, so you should share your worries! Now that the Qin army has not yet arrived at the city, they are all trying to sell their masters for honor. Do you still have any shame?" After being scolded by Jin Hu's righteous words, the ministers felt guilty and bowed their heads for a moment and dared not say anything again!

But Bo Yue couldn't help but say, "General Jin is a loyal minister. Do you think others are treacherous ministers? If you don't surrender to the Qin army, what do you use to retreat to the enemy? Do you want the ancestral tombs of the king and the former king to be destroyed by war? If this is true, I see that you, Jin Hu, have no face to meet the previous kings of Fujian and Yue!"

Jin Hu was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He pointed at Bo Yue and cursed: "Although I have no way to retreat to the enemy, I hope to lead the remaining troops to defend the city and village to survive and die with the capital! I, Jin Hu, was born in Minyue, and died as a ghost in Minyue. I will never learn from the snake, mouse, and surrender to the tyrannical Qin!" Then Jin Hu turned to Wuzhu and said earnestly: "King, it is not easy for me, the previous kings of Fujian and Yue have created such a foundation. How can I give it to others just now! Even if the general situation is irreversible, I should fight for it. Even if I die, I will be worthy of the previous kings of all dynasties!"

Wu Zhu sighed after hearing this and said to himself, "This is the true loyal minister!" After looking at Ni Zhong, Wu Zhu asked, "Doctor Ni, you just came back from the Qin army. What about your opinion?"

Ni Zhong looked hesitant and was silent for a while before saying, "King, I am unable to decide my intentions! Now the peace talks have completely failed, the princess was detained by Qin camp, and Nanpu natural danger was broken, so I really have no chance of winning! Therefore, if you consider the consideration of caring for the people, I think any resistance is futile, and will bring unnecessary death to the people, and should be surrendered. Moreover, Fusu personally agreed to the princess and the ministers that as long as the king surrenders, he will treat the king and the ministers well.

, This should be a good choice! But if we consider loyalty to the country and the royal family, I believe that we must resist bloodshed. Even if the city and village are destroyed, our country of Minyue will fight to the last moment! Even our army can even give up the city and village, avoid the Wuyi Mountains, and engage in long-term dealings with the Qin army! But doing so will inevitably bring greater casualties to the military and civilians of Minyue! Therefore, it is difficult to decide whether to fight or surrender. I only listen to the arrangements of the king. No matter whether it is fighting or surrender, I will swear to follow the death!"

It should be said that Ni Zhong is a very rational person, and the two choices he gave were also very helpless: he neither wanted to continue to resist, so that the people of Minyue were bleeding; he did not want to wait for death and surrender in humiliation! However, how could Wu Zhu easily decide such a problem!

Wu Zhu has always loved the people, but he is also strong in nature. He cannot surrender, but he cannot resist but cannot bear the trouble of the people. After thinking for a long time, Wu Zhu opened his eyes, looked determined, and said seriously: "I have decided! Immediately send an order: All civil and military officials and soldiers in the city who want to surrender, soldiers and people who want to surrender can leave the city at will, and they must not be blocked, but they must leave within two days; after two days, close the four gates, and I and those who are willing to stay will guard the city and village to death, and swear to defend the foundation of the previous kings!"

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other and saw Wuzhu so generous, they couldn't help but feel ashamed. Suddenly they knelt down together and shouted, "King!" Wuzhu sighed and waved his hand and said, "Go, find your way. I can't take care of you now!"

The ministers burst into tears, not knowing whether they were moved or ashamed!

However, after Fusu led his army across Nanpuxi, he left 20,000 remaining naval troops to stay in Nanpuxi, and the remaining main army was more than 150,000 troops to Chongyangxi and headed straight for Chengcun!

On this day, as soon as the army crossed Chongyang Creek, a rebel soldier came to report: "Reporting to the emperor, King Wuzhu of Minyue has opened four doors recently, allowing the officials and people of Minyue to enter and leave freely! Most of the people in Minyue City have fled!"

Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this, "Oh, it's true!? Does the King of Minyue mean to surrender?" The scammer hurriedly said, "Return to the Lord, it's the opposite! Wuzhu, the King of Minyue, closed the four gates this morning, claiming to lead the remaining troops to survive and die together with Minyue!"

Fusu and the generals were shocked when they heard this. Li Xin said in surprise: "Is Wuzhu crazy? Our army has more than 100,000 people, but he only has more than 10,000 remaining soldiers at most. Do you really want to seek death??" Ren Xiao sighed and said: "Wuzhu is a benevolent monarch! Let the officers and soldiers be released, and the people voluntarily escape from the front. It is rare to defend the foundation of the previous king if they die!"

Fusu was stunned when he heard this, and then exclaimed: "People say that heroes are not judged by victory or defeat! Wu Zhu can be called this!" Ren Xiao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Wu Zhu has a high prestige in the minds of the people of Min Yue. If he can convince him to surrender, it will be of great benefit to me to quickly stabilize the Min Yue Kingdom!"

Fusu smiled a little regretfully and said, "Is it really that easy? If Wu Zhu is willing to surrender, he will probably not do this like this!" The generals were a little silent when they heard this: Wu Zhu is a respectable opponent, and it is much more exciting to surrender than kill him! It was a pity for a moment!

Three days later, 150,000 Qin troops swept over the city of Chengcun, surrounding the city of Chengcun! Under Fusu's arrangement: Ren Xiao and Li Xin guarded Xiying and Beiying respectively, cut off the road for the Minyue people to retreat to Wuyi Mountains; Qiang Wei guarded Dongying to prevent the Minyue people from breaking east; Fusu personally guarded Nanying, strangling the Minyue people's escape south to the hinterland or the Nanyue Kingdom!

The next day, Fusu personally led 10,000 "Pojun" cavalry toward the city. The Minyue soldiers on the city far away saw a large group of Qin soldiers rushing towards him, so nervous that they pulled their bows and arrows to prepare to shoot!

To show his sincerity, Fusu ordered 10,000 "Pojun" to stop five hundred steps outside the city of Chengcun, and only took more than ten personal guards straight to the city of Chengcun. Along the way, a prisoner from Minyue hurriedly shouted: "Don't shoot arrows on the city! The Qin general wants to see King Wuzhu, and there is something important to do!"

The Fujian and Yue soldiers on the city looked at each other, and a general shouted: "Wait a moment, don't act rashly, otherwise you will wait for the bow and arrow!" As he said that, he hurried down the wall and went to Wuzhu.

Not long after, there was a commotion on the top of the city wall. A majestic man wearing a crown and holding a golden war appeared on the top of the city wall and looked down!

Fusu bowed under the city and shouted, "Is the King of Minyue Wuzhu in the city?"

"That's right, you and I are the enemy country. What's the point of asking me to meet me today?" Wu Zhu was neither humble nor arrogant, and had no fear on his face!

Fusu smiled and said, "Although you and I are enemies, not friends, I still admire the king very much, so I can't bear to see the king die tragically, so I come and persuade him to surrender!"

"I will not surrender!" Wu Zhuwu said nothing, just this dry sentence!

Fusu shook his head and advised: "How unwise the king is! Now that the situation in Minyue is gone, the number of soldiers who can fight in the city and village must be more than 10,000. How can we resist the tens of thousands of tiger and wolf troops of our Qin army? If the king surrenders now, he will not lose his position as a marquis; if he insists on not surrendering, it will be too late to regret it when the city is broken!"

Wu Zhu laughed at the sky and said, "Fusu, I will tell you: If I want to surrender, I will surrender long ago! The day before yesterday, I let go of a large number of officers and soldiers, the people, just to live and die with the remaining loyal and brave men and the city villages and Fujian and Yue! Don't say more, just let go of the attack, I, Wu Zhu, frowned and was not considered a man who stood up!"

Fusu shouted when he heard this, "Okay! Wuzhu, I won't say much to you. I will give you a few conditions for surrender. You can decide for yourself. First, I guarantee that all the property, land, house and lives of the subjects surrendered to the Minyue people are absolutely safe, and those who violate the situation will die; Second, I guarantee that the king will be free of worries and appointed as the governor of the Minnan County of Xinjun, the tombs and ancestral temples of the previous kings of Minyue in Minyue. On the contrary, I guarantee that every grass and tree will not be moved, but will be protected more; Third, I promise that I will never discriminate against the Minyue people. When the Xinjun Minnan County is established in the future, the Minyue people will be given the same treatment as the Qin people in the Central Plains, and I guarantee that at least half of the officials in the Xinjun will be borne by the Minyue people! What do the king thinks about these three points? If the King has other conditions, I might as well give it out, and I can also consider it!"

Wu Zhu was stunned when he heard this and said to himself: "What the hell is that after the fierce battle between the Minyue and the Qin army, the Qin army must have suffered a lot of casualties, but he was willing to give Minyue and Dongou more preferential surrender conditions! Is this true or false?"

Wu Zhu shouted: "Is this true?"

Seeing that Wu Zhu was relaxed, Fusu hurriedly said, "In order to reassure the king, I am willing to marry Princess Yinhua as my wife. In this way, you and I are already relatives. I will never go back on my word! And the king must have heard of it. I have always praised myself for my trust and reputation in the past. The king can be brave enough to trust it!"

Wu Zhu was speechless for a moment and was in a fierce battle in his mind! In the past, Wu Zhu planned to fight to the death and refused to surrender, because he was completely worried that he would be insulted by the Qin army because he had bravely resisted, and was worried that the ancestor's tomb temple was destroyed by the Qin army. Now Fusu made an oath in front of the two armies, and the conditions were very generous, which made Wu Zhu immediately moved!

After thinking about it, Wu Zhu still couldn't make a decision for a moment, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes to the only two important officials left behind in Fujian and Yue: Jin Hu and Ni Zhong! Seeing Wu Zhu look at it, Jin Hu shook his head and said that he could not surrender! Ni Zhongze hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Your Majesty, please ask again, if you don't surrender, how will the Qin army deal with Min Yue after the city is broken?"

Wuzhu nodded and said loudly: "What if I don't surrender? How are you going?"

Fusu sneered: "If the king does not surrender, then we are the enemy and we cannot be merciless towards the enemy! The day when the Qin army breaks the city, it is the time when the chickens and dogs in the city are left unrest. At that time, the tombs of the ancient kings and the ancestral temples are destroyed. In order to avoid future troubles, the royal family of Minyue will also be eliminated! The people of Minyue will not have any preferential treatment in the future! The king thinks it carefully!" Fusu is actually a word of intimidation. Even if everyone surrenders, after the city is broken, Fusu will do his best to comfort the people of Minyue except for the clan and other Minyue royal family!

Wu Zhu was stunned when he heard this, and was silent for a long time. He suddenly waved his hand and said, "Send the order, open the city and surrender!"

Ni Zhong was relieved when he heard this: This is the best result at present! He hurriedly said: "The King and the King are wise!"

Jin Hu was stunned and suddenly knelt down and said, "King, you can't surrender!" Wu Zhu said sadly: "I was not going to surrender either, but Fusu personally promised me that he would treat my royal family well, the ancestral temple and the subjects of Minyue. If he did not surrender, it would be okay for me to die. My ancestral royal family would be destroyed, and the tombs and ancestral temples of the previous kings would be destroyed. Then I will be broken into pieces, so how can I meet the previous king in the nine springs! General Jin, get up, the situation is over, and it is useless to die! Open the city!"

With a dull sound of "Boom", the gates of the city and village were open, and no one led the remaining civil and military officials to go out of the city to surrender!

Seeing this, Fusu was overjoyed and quickly dismounted and greeted him: "The king, Shengming, has made a wise choice! The people of Minyue will thank the king for his kindness! If someone comes, he will send orders to the city and villages to take over the city! If anyone dares to rob, he will be killed without mercy!" "Here!"

The army was about to enter the city, when suddenly, a Fujian Yue soldier came to report to him: "King, General Jinhu drew his sword and committed suicide on the city!" Wu Zhu was stunned when he heard this, and seemed much older for a moment!

Fusu sighed and said, "A loyal minister! The person who came, I will give you the order to be buried with a generous general!" "Now!"

In the early autumn of 217 BC, Minyue was destroyed! Fusu newly established Minnan County, and Wuzhu was the prefect. Half of the officials in the army were transferred from the Central Plains, and half were selected by the former officials and the people of Minyue. In addition, the new policy was vigorously implemented, the Fujian-yue area was quickly stabilized!
