Chapter four hundred and fortieth those who know the times
After receiving a letter from the motherland in the north, Zheng Yu learned that Xu Du was broken, and his first reaction was not anger or at a loss.
On the contrary, the emotions that arose in his heart even had a little sense of relief.
This feeling even made him feel a little guilty. He was at least Xuanwu Hou of the Great Wei, one of the two Dharma principles of the Great Wei and the pillar of the country. It is a bit inappropriate to have such emotions.
However, people must face their hearts honestly. After knowing that Xu Du was defeated and the Wei Dynasty had surrendered unconditionally, he really felt glad.
He was glad that the situation he was most worried about did not happen. His Excellency General finally made a wise choice.
What he feared the most was that even though he knew he was defeated, Xia Cang insisted on leading the people of Wei. He would rather break up than be a complete one. He fought to the end with the people of Yan, and then everything would be over.
Zheng Yu has always been a firm supporter of the General Xia Cang in Wei. A long time ago, he was able to climb up step by step within the Wei system, and his cultivation level was improved step by step, and he obtained a large amount of resources granted by the country, which was inseparable from Xia Cang's appreciation and support.
Of course, he was very grateful for this and always remained loyal to the general. Even after becoming a Dharma Priest monk, he became accustomed to being Xia Cang's deputy and subordinate, and he had no ambitions to stand on his own or something.
In his opinion, under the leadership of Xia Cang, the wise and powerful general of the Wei State, was enough to have abundant martial ethics and strong national strength?
But all this began to gradually change after Lu Qing emerged.
Especially after the battle at Dongyang Temple, after he had a deeper understanding of Lu Qing's power, he gradually had some ideas with Xia Cang.
Like Xia Cang, he felt that Lu Qing was incomparable; but the difference between the two was that Xia Cang felt that no matter what, he could not sit still and wait for death. He had to make some attempts, such as joining foreign players, such as finding a place to gain a favorable location... In short, he still had to compete.
Zheng Yu's ideas are even more pessimistic.
He felt that he could not compete with Lu Qing.
Perhaps the best fate of Wei State is to strive to be able to connect with Yan and Qi State in a relatively peaceful situation. And under the premise of peace, as long as the two sides are not at the point where they are taking swords and swords, there is still something to talk about. It may be impossible to win very good conditions, retain the name of the Great Wei State and the position of the Cao royal family.
However, within Wei, the one who has the final say is the General Xia Cang, and Zheng Yu's right to speak is definitely not as good as the General.
What's more, his thoughts were in his opinion as rational, and he also believed that he was devoted to the country and the best solution to the future of Wei.
However, even so, he thought rationally that it would be impossible if he dared to put forward his ideas publicly. This pessimistic and surrendered idea would inevitably be completely opposed.
It was not that he had tried to remind Xia Cang of his thoughts in a vague way, but that was useless. Even just saying this obscurely, Xia Cang had a very fierce attitude.
What else can I do? Zheng Yu could only bury his thoughts back to his heart.
At the moment, after hearing that the Yan army went south and attacked the Wei State, especially when Xu Ducheng was captured and Lu Qing had clearly taken action himself, his heart was in his throat.
Fortunately, the worst situation did not really happen. Xia Cang did not completely abandon the royal family and the people of Wei State, and chose to fight to the end. Instead, he followed the general trend and chose to surrender.
Although the so-called "unconditional" surrender will be dealt with in the future, it can only be determined by the Lu family's meaning, and it can even be called a saying that the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed. However, this is much better than the end of death when all people die.
...
Looking at the dejected monks of Wei who had already given up all the resistance, especially Zheng Yu in front of him, Weiyun and Lu Chaohe had a sense of innocence in their hearts.
Wei State...had really surrendered?
The most important enemy in the south of Dayan, in the past years, was defeated by the Dahe defense line and suppressed Yan State almost in anger. Is it like this?
But no matter how strong the sense of unreality is, this matter is already a certain fact.
Earlier, they received news about what happened in Xudu, and asked them to prepare to accept the surrender of the Wei army led by Zheng Yu.
They were actually very worried whether Zheng Yu would be so obedient.
As the saying goes, the general is outside, and the king will not accept anything. Will they really surrender obediently?
The country was destroyed and the emperor and the general surrendered together. This incident must be very, very sudden for the people who were expeditioning abroad. For a moment, it may not be acceptable, and it is normal for them to do some irrational things or continue to resist.
If the Wei army did not surrender, Wei Yun and Lu Chaohe would not have any good solutions to deal with it.
After all, no matter what, the current situation in Wu State is quite unfavorable for the Yan and Qi coalition. The internal sorting work of the main force of Qi State is still in turmoil, and Chu State is eyeing it in the west. If Zheng Yu really ignores it and follows the Chu people to cause trouble, it will be really troublesome.
However, unexpectedly, Zheng Yu surrendered very simply.
Weiyun and Lu Chaohe didn't know what Zheng Yu was thinking, but no matter what, this was a great good thing.
They did not treat these surrendered Wei people harshly.
A large area was drawn up on the northern border of Wu State, and the spiritual veins here will temporarily become the garrison of the Wei troops led by Zheng Yu.
All the mountain protection formations of these spiritual veins were destroyed and demolished. As long as these Wei cultivators stayed in these spiritual veins, did not try to rebuild the mountain protection formation, did not try to leave collectively, and did not make any abnormal movements, then in this area, they would do whatever they wanted, and there would be no restrictions.
The Yanqi coalition forces left only a small force, monitoring the situation of these surrenders here.
The team led by Zheng Yu is quite honest.
In the north, Jingping, for the Yan and Qi coalition, this great threat was equivalent to being lifted. Next, they could finally devote most of their power to the southwest direction and confront Chu.
