Chapter 630 Wei Surrenders
Liang Kai, who was about to kneel down to express his gratitude, looked at Yu Huatian and said coldly,
"General Yu, what you said is really disheartening, isn't it? Although I know I'm not as good as you, I do have some skills.
In my early years in Kun’s army, I led troops into battle alone many times.
Later, I joined the Yan army and led the Tianyu army in divisional battles many times. The time when I attacked Fan County in Pushin County, I led the troops alone to capture it.
I have always worked hard and never sought credit, but how come General Yu said that I was unable to shoulder such a heavy responsibility?"
Yu Huatian immediately retorted angrily,
"No means no. You've been with me for so many years, don't you know how much you weigh?"
"That's because with you here, my talents can't be fully utilized, so you think I'm incompetent. Give me a chance to lead the troops in battle alone, and I'm no worse than you!"
"You'll kill the whole army!"
"Yu Huatian! Don't go too far. I've tolerated you for a long time!"
Liang Kai roared angrily.
Shen Changgong looked at this scene with a playful smile on his face.
Yu Huatian turned his head away angrily and said,
"That's all I have to say. You can do whatever you want. If you get into trouble in the future, just don't say it's my fault."
Liang Kai snorted coldly,
"Okay, since that's all you have to say, I will sever all ties with you Yuhua Tianen today!
You promoted me, and I'm grateful to you for that. But I've also served you for so many years and followed you in surrendering to Dayan without hesitation, which is also my way of repaying your kindness.
Today, you and I sever our ties!"
Shen Changgong advised,
"Alright, alright, what are you two doing? You used to have such a good relationship, why are you arguing so fiercely? We haven't seen such a fierce quarrel in the Yan army before."
Liang Kai immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his hands and said,
"The prince wants to promote me, and I am grateful. But General Yu, he doesn't understand me and thinks I'm not capable. I've followed him for so many years, but he still doesn't trust me."
"Don't worry about him, Liang Kai. I just want to ask you, do you think you can lead this Wei army well?"
"I can do it. If I can't fight well, I will be beheaded!"
"Forget about the charge. Since you're willing, just cooperate with Nie Yang and take good care of this legion.
In addition, Yuhuatian should have also told you that this legion is a cannon fodder legion with an excessive number of people, so you have to fight a hard battle and reduce the number of people to 100,000 to become a standard legion.
Only after that will I assign you the Divine Machine Camp.
But don't worry, since it was a tough battle and the sacrifices were so great, the credit must be great. I, Great Yan, will not treat anyone who has made meritorious contributions unfairly."
"General Liang Kai thanks His Majesty. I will be loyal to His Majesty and follow your lead. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Liang Kai kowtowed solemnly.
Shen Changgong nodded and said,
"Don't publicize this matter yet. After all, the Wei army hasn't surrendered yet, and there might be some unexpected changes.
If the Wei army surrenders, you will be responsible for taking over this army and reorganizing it. Do you understand?"
"You will finally understand."
"Go down."
Shen Changgong waved his hand.
"I'll say goodbye!"
Liang Kai stood up, glared at Yu Huatian fiercely, snorted coldly, and turned away.
Yu Huatian smiled bitterly, clasped his hands towards Shen Changgong, and said goodbye.
After they left, Shen Changgong chuckled and said,
“These two people act quite similar.”
The Southern King also laughed and said,
"Yeah, it was such an awkward performance. Although it made sense, it was too sudden. They really took us for fools."
"Not really. This is also a way for Yu Huatian and Liang Kai to show their loyalty to us. Don't they know we can see it?
They simply had no better way, so they resorted to this public breakup to prove that they had no rebellious intentions and no desire to form a clique for personal gain.
So we won't expose them, let it be, as long as we understand their intentions."
Shen Changgong stood up, stretched, and went to sleep with Marshal Yu Ziling.
……
Two days later, the Yan army completely crossed the Luo River and assembled on the south bank.
Three floating bridges were left on the river. Although they temporarily blocked the canal transportation route, they were also a preparation for the subsequent transportation of supplies.
Afterwards, the Yan army took another day to rush from the river bank to Luoyang, and set up camp in the east and south of Luoyang city. Although they did not surround Luoyang city, it was almost there, and the people inside had no way to escape.
That night, a handwritten letter from the Emperor of Wei was delivered from Luoyang City. It stated that the State of Wei would formally surrender the next morning, and asked the Yan army not to attack the city and to prepare a surrender ceremony at the east gate.
After receiving this letter, Shen Changgong felt relieved and wrote a letter back to the Emperor of Wei, asking him to come out the next day and order the Wei troops behind him to lay down their weapons and surrender, and to take their baggage and other belongings and go to the Yan army camp.
That night, Cao De had a final crazy night, favoring several concubines. He was exhausted and drunk.
The next morning, in the Wei court.
All civil and military officials gathered together. Emperor Cao De of Wei walked up to the dragon throne with heavy steps and sat down.
This time, no one spoke out.
Yesterday, the Yan army was already at the gates of the city. Today is the time to make a decision. If we don’t make a decision in the morning, the Yan army will attack the city in the morning.
They didn't know that their emperor had already sent a letter of surrender to the Yan army.
Cao De looked at the civil and military officials in front of him, stroked the dragon throne under him, and picked up the jade seal and stroked it gently.
He was extremely reluctant and unwilling to give up his throne and power.
But he was even more unwilling to give up his life.
A tear fell from the corner of his eye. He hugged the jade seal tightly, closed his eyes, and said to the people below,
"Order everyone in the palace to gather at the front palace, and all members of the royal family to be ready at home.
All the troops laid down their weapons, packed up their baggage, and headed to the Yan army camp.
Today, we, the Great Wei, surrender."
As soon as the Emperor of Wei said this, there was a burst of crying below.
All the civil and military officials in the court knelt down and cried bitterly, shouting "Long live the emperor" to express their reluctance to leave.
They were crying for the emperor, for themselves, and even more for the lost glory and wealth.
Cao De formally announced the surrender of Wei State, and then took the civil and military officials and the imperial seal, and left the city in a carriage.
Outside the city, the Yan army had set up an altar.
Shen Changgong stood alone on the altar, flanked by Yan army soldiers and cavalry in armor and weapons, full of murderous intent.
The Emperor of Wei's carriage stopped at the city gate.
Then, he got off the carriage, holding the imperial seal, and walked out of the city with all the officials.
With this departure, the State of Wei was gone.
