Chapter 76 (2/2)

Although the imperial army has driven Wu zhence to the point of exhaustion, it has also suffered a lot. Today, its military strength is less than 140000, and it is exhausted due to long-term combat. However, the army of the Duke of Chu has been keeping up its strength, and the gap between the two sides is clear at a glance.

If the two sides fight each other formally, it may take only one world war to determine the victory or defeat. Even if the Imperial Army does not lose a lot, the best result is to be forced to withdraw and hand over the rich land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River to Zhao Yuanjin.

”We are now What should I do? ” Wu zhence asked slowly.

”There are two ways to go.”

Lin Shiqian said: ”one of them is to stick to the city and watch the battle between the Duke of Chu and the imperial army. If they lose both sides, it may be our chance to make a comeback.”

”The second is to send someone to contact Zhao Yuanjin secretly and express his willingness to surrender and ask the other party to come and help as soon as possible. After the Imperial Army retreats, the Lord will decide to stay.”

Wu zhence was so excited that he seriously thought about it.With his original intention, of course, he is willing to live with Yangzhou City, but it is hard to say how many people are willing to accompany him to death.

It sounds good to watch the Duke of Chu's army fight with the Imperial Army, and his own side shrinks behind to take advantage of the opportunity. In fact, it may not be feasible. The commander-in-chief of both sides is not a fool. He can't be so easy.

Then the only viable option is to surrender to Zhao Yuanjin, give up the status of Qianlong and his ambition to dominate the world, and become a courtier in order to save the lives of his wife and children.

”Well, you go and arrange for people to go out of the city at night to ask for help from the Duke of Chu. As long as he is willing to raise his troops to help, Wu is willing to give up the Yangzhou city.”

After a long silence, Wu zhence finally made a decision.

As for the surrender to the Imperial Army, it is absolutely impossible. For such an anti thief and rebellious minister, the imperial court has always only copied the family and killed the family, and there will never be amnesty or death.

……

The army of the Duke of Chu came fiercely, and the Imperial Army naturally kept a high degree of attention.

After weighing the pros and cons, Luo Yanxiong decided to keep a small number of troops to keep an eye on Yangzhou city. He led a hundred thousand troops to meet Zhao Yuanjin. He must defeat this powerful enemy at one stroke.

“…… It's quite surprising that Wu zhence sent an envoy to ask for surrender. ”

In the camp account, Zhao Yuanjin frowned and said.

Song Wu disapproved and said, ”Lord, Wu zhence is now in a desperate situation. In order to save his life, he can do anything.”

”Do you think we need to accept his patronage?” Zhao Yuanjin asked again.

They were not ordinary princes, but Huaiyang Qianlong, who was once expected to swallow up the whole Jiangnan area. Although they are in a state of desperation and have lost their days, they still can't be ignored. Accepting the other side's submission requires more than just a sense of mind.

There were different opinions among the officials, some were in favor of it, others were against it, or they were in favor of ignoring it and letting it live and die on its own.

”What do you think of it, sir?” Finally, Zhao Yuanjin asked Qin Feng Dao.
