Chapter 645: The Qin Nation Surrenders
"Bring all these people to the main hall!"
"As ordered!"
The soldiers pushed the people from the harem and dragged the Qin Emperor all the way into the hall.
In the main hall, the three dukes and nine ministers were still watching this scene, kneeling on the ground and trembling, not daring to say a word, they were all terrified.
Su Wuan looked at them and asked,
"Who are you all? Civil servants? Who's the most senior official here?"
Everyone looked at the Prime Minister.
The prime minister is the head of the three dukes and the head of all officials. There is no official higher than him.
Su Wuan also looked at him, stretched out his spear, and put it in front of him, and asked,
"who are you?"
"I...I am the Prime Minister."
"Prime Minister? That's great. It's you. I want to ask you, do you want to live or die?"
"I...what are you going to do?"
Su Wuan threw the halberd to the soldier, then picked up the prime minister with one hand and walked towards the dragon throne, saying as he walked,
"Go write an imperial edict of surrender for the entire Qin State. If you don't, I will kill your emperor first, making you bear the infamy of being disloyal and causing the emperor's death. Then I will kill your entire family one by one, and then I will torture you to death."
Write well and cooperate with me, and I will guarantee that you and your family will be safe."
When he finished speaking, he had already walked up the steps and came to the dragon throne. He threw the Prime Minister in his hand to the ground, and then found a blank imperial edict and asked the Prime Minister to write it.
The Prime Minister wept bitterly and said,
"This is usurpation and rebellion. How can I write an imperial edict for you? My Great Qin has not surrendered yet..."
"Didn't you hear what I just said? Of course, you don't have to write it. Go to hell with your whole family."
Su Wuan looked at the ministers below and said,
"Whoever is willing to write it can save the lives of his entire family!"
"I, I, I, I'll write it. I'm the Imperial Censor, and I'm also one of the Three Dukes."
The Imperial Censor hurriedly crawled up.
The Prime Minister said hurriedly,
"I write, I write."
He took the pen and began to write the imperial edict tremblingly.
After writing the surrender edict, Su Wuan took the jade seal, stamped it, and then read the imperial edict, nodded with satisfaction, and said,
"As expected of the Prime Minister, your writing is so beautiful. These words are something that a mere warrior like me could never write in my lifetime.
Please, Prime Minister, go back and take the Saint to the army outside the city so that Zheng Ping'an can lead his troops to surrender!"
"Ah? Still going to persuade them to surrender?"
"It's okay if you don't go. I can replace you. Whoever goes won't die."
"I'll go, can't I just go?"
Su Wuan nodded and sent his cavalry guards to escort the prime minister out of the city to persuade the enemy to surrender.
After seeing off the Prime Minister, Su Wuan breathed a sigh of relief. Tired, he wanted to sit down and have a rest. After taking a look at the dragon throne, he hesitated for a moment and still didn't dare to sit on it.
He walked down, took the jade seal, and sat on the chair below.
He looked at the Qin Emperor lying on the ground and said with a smile,
"Where are the imperial doctors in your palace? What are they doing? Your emperor is almost bleeding to death, why don't you come and save him?"
Two imperial doctors hurried out from the captive crowd, saluted Su Wuan tremblingly, and said,
"General, I need to get some cloth and medicine from the Imperial Physician's Office..."
"Go back quickly!"
Two soldiers took them to the imperial physician's room.
Su Wuan bent down, looked at the Qin Emperor in front of him, chuckled and said,
"Come on, why bother? Whether you live or not, the Qin State will perish. I've given you a chance to live, so you should cherish it. At least, you and your family can live in peace, right? Look at the Cao family of the Wei State. They are so sensible."
The Emperor Qin sneered and said weakly,
"Then let me ask you, if one day, our Great Qin invades Shengjing, and a Qin general holds his sword to your neck, will you surrender?"
"I won't."
"Likewise, I will not do the same. Do not do to others what you do not want done to you. You are determined to serve your country to the death, and I am determined to do the same."
"What you said makes sense, but this possibility does not exist, because Dayan is invincible!"
Su Wuan stood up, patted the dried blood foam on his hands, and said coldly,
"No one can stop the Great Yan from unifying the world. Anyone who tries to stop the tide of the times is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating their own capabilities.
Emperor Qin, I respect your determination to defend your country. I hope that on the way back to Shengjing, you can cooperate more and behave yourself. Eat when you are supposed to eat, sleep when you are supposed to sleep, and keep some dignity for yourself.
You are my merit, you must live.
If you go on a hunger strike or commit suicide, the escorts will drag your concubines and women in front of you and torture them in front of you.
I will drag your son in front of you and torture him to death.
So, everyone, please be respectful. After all, I was once an emperor. Don't make things difficult for me."
Su Wuan smiled brilliantly, and that devilish smile was very similar to Shen Changgong's.
He looked at the emperor's relatives behind him and said with a smile,
"And you, if you don't want to suffer on the road, remember to persuade your emperor!"
……
Su Wuan sat in the palace, commanding the army to search for food and cooking directly in the palace square and streets, preparing to welcome his friendly troops and ensure that the Yan army, which had been tired for several days, would have food to eat when they entered the city.
They occupied the Qin army's barracks and cooked in the barracks.
Anyway, there is plenty of food now.
Although the Yan army outside was still fighting bloody battles, the aroma of food had already wafted over.
The guards led the Prime Minister on horseback, heading towards the north gate, shouting as they ran.
"The Emperor has issued an order! The entire nation of Great Qin surrenders!"
After they shouted like this, the other Yan soldiers who were busy everywhere also followed suit. Soon, the whole city knew that the Qin Dynasty had surrendered.
Soon, they arrived at the north gate, and the guards shouted to the Yan army guarding the city,
"Open the city gates! We have the imperial edict. Has the enemy noticed that Xianyang has been captured?"
"No, the enemy was a bit far away from here, so they probably didn't see us. We didn't go to inform them. If they knew, they would probably turn around and attack us immediately."
"That's good, it saves energy."
After the city gate was opened, they rode at full speed all the way to the north.
Two miles to the north, on the battlefield, the Qin army and the Yan army were still fighting in full swing.
However, the Qin army was already at a disadvantage. Their encirclement was torn apart by the Yan army, which split their formation and fought everywhere.
They looked at the torches, found the location of the Qin army's flag, and rushed over.
When the Qin army saw that the newcomers were wearing Yan army uniforms, they immediately attacked.
The Prime Minister shouted hurriedly,
"Don't do anything. I am the Prime Minister. The Emperor has ordered the entire nation to surrender!"
Many Qin soldiers were stunned when they heard this shout.
We were still fighting bloody battles, but the emperor surrendered behind us?
