The system forced me to be emperor

Linghu Feng gasped in pain, and roared, "Open the door? What if there are enemy troops among the people outside the city? Besides, once the city gate is opened, what if the enemy's cavalry suddenly rush in? You also saw today That man's archery skills, the city gates must not be opened! As for the anger? Order the whole city not to believe the enemy's lies, how can such a good thing be done, and each household will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, bah!"

Until now, Linghu Feng is still unwilling to open the door.

Xun Qing didn't want to dissuade him any more, that's all he said, so he turned around and left.

……

Great Summer Barracks.

Xiao Rui heard about the situation and asked Zhang Liang, "Zifang, what should I do next?"

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "I sent people to inquire about the character of Linghufeng, the general guarding the city of Eastern Tibet, but I didn't expect that it was because of his relationship with the high-ranking naan. Help Zhao Guo defend the city, but help us break the city. So we don’t have to worry, let the people in the county discuss and discuss. There must be a brave man under a heavy reward, not to mention the promise by His Highness’s order! Your Highness, although you He is the prince of Daxia, but he is also the grandson of Princess Zhao, and he has the blood of Zhao's royal family, and this identity will have unexpected effects!"

No one is willing to collude with the enemy and betray the country, and the same is true for the people of Zhao State, but Xiao Rui's identity gave them a reason to convince themselves, and now the people and soldiers in the eastern Tibetan county understand that the county cannot be defended at all!

Under such circumstances, those who wanted to survive would be forced to take action, and Xiao Rui even offered them generous rewards.

and so…

Don't worry, the show has just begun.

Chapter 482: What is loyalty?

The night is slowly coming.

In Eastern Tibet County, the soldiers guarding the city chatted together in groups of three or five, and the conscripted men gathered together to discuss heatedly. The content of the discussion was naturally what happened during the day.

Just as Zhang Liang predicted, someone couldn't bear it anymore.

Guarding an impossible city, tying his life here, what is even more hateful is that even his family members cannot enter outside the city.

Hate the soldiers and horses of Xia Kingdom?Of course I would hate, but I hate my own country even more!

"Brothers, both left and right were dead, but now Xia Guo gave us a way to survive, why not cherish it? The Great Xia Prince is the grandson of our eldest princess, and has the blood of Zhao Guo's royal family. What he promised will definitely be fulfilled." A man Gritting his teeth, he suddenly shouted in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence all around.

"Do you want to do it?" the man asked ruthlessly.

After a while, someone also gritted his teeth and shouted: "It's done!"

"It just so happens that I know a captain guarding the city, who is from my hometown!"

"I know some people too!"

"Then I'll contact the others!"

……

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Inside the Sheriff's Mansion, Xun Qing looked at the darkness outside, and felt a bone-chilling chill. The steward he sent out to investigate hurried back and said, "My lord, the atmosphere outside doesn't feel right. Many people are ready to move. I'm afraid there may be soldiers tonight." thing."

Xun Qing changed his mourning, since he was powerless to save, then let's break up and stand up. What are the chances of Zhao Guo being able to survive this crisis?Xun Qing knew it clearly.

"Call together your loyal confidants." Xun Qing made up his mind and shouted immediately.

The steward hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord!"

This night, it is doomed that the eastern Tibetan county will not be peaceful.

……

When the sky was bright, Xiao Rui got up to practice martial arts. As the saying goes, one is good at work but not at play. Xiao Rui is only a third-rank martial artist, so naturally he will not slack off.

He fought against Li Yuanfang, although it was far from Li Yuanfang's actions, but fighting against a master can greatly stimulate Xiao Rui's potential, Xiao Rui is improving every day.

When the fight was in full swing, Yang Youji rushed to report, "Your Highness, something happened."

Seeing that he was out of breath, Xiao Rui and Li Yuanfang took their moves and stood firm, Xiao Rui was surprised: "Could it be that Zhao Jun took the initiative to attack?"

Yang Youji shook his head and said, "No, the governor of Eastern Tibet County killed Linghufeng, the general guarding the city, and came to surrender!"

Xiao Rui glared at him immediately, and said: "This is a good thing, this is not an accident! I thought Zhao Jun was brave once. Let's go and see this prefect who knows the current affairs!"

When I came to the big tent of the Chinese army, I saw Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan sitting at the top, and a middle-aged man standing below him, wearing the official robe of Zhao Guo.

Seeing Xiao Rui entering the tent, Chang Shenghou got up to salute, Xun Qing also turned to look at Xiao Rui, the first time he saw the Prince of Great Xia, Xun Qing's eyes lit up, there is such a handsome man in the world!

Afterwards, Xun Qing bowed his hands and said: "Xun Qing, the guilty minister of the Zhao State, and the governor of Tibet East County, pay homage to His Royal Highness Prince Daxia!"

Xiao Rui took the throne, seeing his extraordinary bearing, he smiled and said: "Mr. Xun, I would like to send you a sentence: He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and you are a smart person. This sentence is perfect to describe you. Since you have surrendered , I will not treat you badly. You should still be your sheriff, and comfort the people in the county for me."

After speaking, Xiao Rui looked at the box on the ground and said, "Is Linghu Feng's head in there?"

"Yes!" Xun Qing nodded.

At this time, Zhang Liang and Guo Jia came over upon hearing the news. They stood aside respectfully and did not speak, but Xun Qing recognized the identities of the two advisers and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Xiao Rui continued to ask: "You killed Linghu Fengtoucheng, and the soldiers in the city didn't resist?"

Xun Qing said: "I will kill all the generals who resisted. I have shown great righteousness to other officers and men, and have not aroused the anger of the army and the people. However, I still beg Your Highness to agree that after the Xia army enters the east of Tibet, it will not harm the people. Allow the soldiers to disarm and return home , Do not imprison them! If they are willing to become the people of Great Xia, the conditions promised by His Highness must remain the same. If this is the case, I am willing to give up the county city!"

"Okay, I promise you! You don't ask for something for yourself? If you take the initiative to surrender now, you will be listed as a sinner by Zhao Guo and bear a bad name. I can't let you be wronged." Xiao Rui said.

Xun Qing shook his head and said, "I don't ask for anything."

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "Okay then, Lord Hou, I will trouble you for the next thing."

Tian Boyuan nodded with a smile, and then went out with Xun Qing, and began to take over the eastern Tibetan county.

At this time, only Xiao Rui and the others were left in the tent.

Guo Jia praised: "This Xun Qing is not simple, but can be of great use!"

"Yes! It's a pity that such a loyal man was delayed by Zhao Guo!" Zhang Liang also praised.

Xiao Rui looked at the two of them, he only thought that Xun Qing was smart, but he didn't see that he was a loyal man.

"Why did the two gentlemen say that? He is now a traitor, so why talk about loyalty?" Li Yuanfang also asked curiously.

Zhang Liang explained: "To say that he is a loyal person is not to the State of Zhao, but to the people, and to the soldiers of the eastern Tibetan county. Under our scheming, the people in the eastern Tibetan county must be eager to try and prepare to kill. Hu Feng, no matter how you say it, this kind of behavior is collaborating with the enemy and treason. Soldiers and civilians will not escape the death penalty."

Guo Jia continued: "As for Xun Qing, the county guard alone resisted the crime of surrendering. In this way, even if Zhao's court blames him in the future, it will be his own business and will not involve the people."

Only then did Xiao Rui, Li Yuanfang and the others suddenly understand.

Zhang Liang sighed with emotion, and said, "Actually, there is no shortage of loyal and righteous men in the State of Zhao. It's just that the game of chess in the State of Zhao has been played badly by the Emperor Zhao. As far as Xun Qing is concerned, he will lead the soldiers in the city to defend to the death. Even if Zhao Guo is destroyed, he will not be able to wash away the reputation of treachery. Sometimes it takes more courage to live than to die !"
