"boom!"

A shell exploded in the distance, shaking the windows of the room. [】

Everyone in the room looked very ugly.

The left prime minister Yelu Longyun, commanded the Zhongjing defense general Xiao Yilu, and a group of civil and military officials gathered here. The atmosphere in the room was very depressing.

At this time, someone suddenly said: "Seven days have passed since the Great Prime Minister. The Zhao army bombed every day. Now they have developed such a large stone thrower that can hit the inner city. They bombarded day and night. There are casualties and injuries in the city at all times. A few days ago, several shells arrived at the imperial city. Now the people in the city are panic. They have been filled with moat outside the city for more than 30 meters. They are about to reach the city gate. What should we do?"

Everyone looked at the left Prime Minister Yelu Longyun.

Yelu Longyun's face, which was originally thin, now has a pointed chin, and he lowered his head slightly as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Yelu Longyun said in a low voice: "What are your plans?"

Seeing the left prime minister speaking, someone said boldly: "The city must not be able to be defended, so why don't we abandon the city and run away."

Someone retorted: "The Zhao army surrounded us from all sides. How can we escape? Do you think we can rush out with our own hands?"

"That's better than sitting there and waiting for death." The man said.

The atmosphere remained silent again.

In fact, many people think of a word in their minds, but no one dares to say it easily.

At this moment, a guy finally couldn't help it and said, "Major, why not surrender. We can make a request with Qin Guan, but we can't kill us."

Everyone looked at the guy who was talking, and it turned out to be Hu Jie, deputy minister of the Privy Council, and a second-rank official.

Facing the eyes of everyone, Hu Ji was not afraid at all and said loudly: "What do you think of me? Don't say that you haven't thought about this problem. You all know that staying is just waiting for death. There are only two ways now, either rush out and escape to the grassland or surrender."

"But can we fight out? Even if we fight out, there are no supplies, no tents, no food, so many of us live and eat whatever we eat. The grassland was covered with heavy snow outside, so we could only freeze to death."

"As for the rest, it's all about surrender."

Who is not a human spirit here? How could you not know this? Even if you run out of the siege, you will be dead.

At this time, someone said, "I'm afraid those people in the imperial city will not agree."

"Your Majesty took away Empress Xiao and several princes. Now there are only some unpopular princes, princesses and concubines left in the imperial city. So what if you don't agree? Will you let more than 100,000 people in the city die together?" Someone replied angrily.

At the end of the discussion, people looked at the left Prime Minister Yelu Longyun.

Yelu Longyun's eyes closed and his cheeks moved from time to time. This decision was also difficult for him.

Surrender will inevitably bear the infamy, and this responsibility must be the highest position for him. If he does not surrender, the Zhao army will be able to break through the city gate in only four or five days at most. What will happen to them at that time? If the Zhao army surrenders, what will happen if they don’t let them go if they enter the city.

The room was very quiet, and the needle could be heard, and even people were breathing to a minimum.

"boom!"

A violent explosion sounded not far away, and even many people were screaming.

Someone in the room was so scared that he screamed in a low voice.

Yelu Longyun sighed in his heart.

Forget it, forgot.

Now all the officials in Zhongjing City are here, and they all have little confidence in sticking to each other. Today they come here, aren’t they just forcing themselves to make a decision?

"Write a surrender book and send it to Qin Guan."

After Yelu Longyun finished speaking, he stood up and returned to the inner room hunched over.

Qin Guan was standing in front of a huge trench and watching the soldiers busy. This huge guy was more than 20 meters high. It was what the craftsman called a "cloud cannon car". He could shoot a 20 kilogram shell at a time, and it could shoot more than 2,000 meters.

Only two were built in five days, so Qin Guan asked them to start firing and kept firing shells into the city. If anyone was unlucky, a shell would be thrown down and their house would be gone.

This kind of bombing put a lot of pressure on Zhongjing City.

No one knows when a shell was dropped and the family's life was gone.

The filling work was done well. It had already advanced more than 30 meters, and the passage could be opened in a dozen meters. At that time, pushing the car over, Qin Guan believed that the city gate could be blown up in one or two wheels.

However, many prisoners of the Liao Kingdom who filled the soil were also killed and injured, and more than 20,000 people died in seven days.

"The cloud cannon car is ready."

"shoot."

Whoosh~~~

The cloud cannon van swung his thick arms and threw a huge shell out. It was extremely fast. It turned into a small black dot and fell into the city.

"boom!"

From a distance, you can hear an explosion, followed by a stream of black smoke.

Qin Guan looked very touching.

At this moment, a fast horse ran towards this side. Before he could enter, he was stopped by the guards around him. The knight was brought over and bowed to Qin Guan: "Li Mutou, the head of the vanguard camp, had met the Grand Marshal. He had just shot a letter from the head of Zhongjing City. They shouted that it was for you and asked you to see it yourself."

Qin Guan nodded, and a personal guard took the letter and slowly opened it. He did not read the content of the letter, but checked it inside and out. Now there was no problem, so he held the letter in his hand and held it for Qin Guan to see, looking at the side.

There were many ways to murder generals in ancient times, some of which were strange and bizarre, such as applying poison to letters, Qin Guan had to be careful.

Qin Guan was stunned when he saw the content of the letter, and then a smile appeared on his face.

This turned out to be a surrender book.

The surrender letter reads that Zhongjing City is willing to open the city to surrender, hoping that Qin Guan will not start a massacre and try to ensure that the interests and personnel of each family are not damaged. The signature is actually the seal of the left prime minister Yelu Longyun and the left prime minister, which should not be fake.

Qin Guan immediately called his own people to discuss that Han Yuqing, Xiong Daxionger, Xue Mu, Pan Liang, Li Xuan and others had read the letter of surrender.

Qin Guan asked, "What do you think?"

Xiong Er said, "Young Master, the people of Liao will not cheat, right?"

Pan Liang said: "We are not afraid of cheating. We can put forward conditions. If they do it, they will really surrender. If they can't do it, they will be cheating. When the city gate is broken, they will be killed without leaving any armor."

At this time, Han Yuqing said: "My dear, if the Liao people are willing to surrender, they will save a lot of trouble. But we must also beware of them cheating. I don't think so. We ask them to stop all attacks, open the city gate, and ask them to remove the city gate. All officials and soldiers come out to surrender, and they don't believe they can play any tricks."

Everyone thinks it is feasible.
