Chapter 426 Difficult Choice(2/3)

"What if the Han army starts to attack?" asked a middle-aged general.

"Then defend Luoyang City to the death!" Zhong Hui, the general of the Dian army next to him, said before Chen Tai: "If the people are in the city, the city will be destroyed and everyone will die!"

As soon as Zhong Hui's voice fell, Chen Tai nodded and said: "The truth is not here, you will act according to General Zhong's orders!"

"Promise!" The generals heard the promise and agreed.

"Shi Ji!" Before leaving, Chen Tai held Zhong Hui's hand tightly and said, "I will leave the truth of the South Gate to the general."

"Promise!" Zhong Hui bowed and said, "In the end, we will definitely fulfill our mission."

The time to burn a stick of incense was very short, and Chen Tai did not dare to delay at the top of the city. After explaining, he hurried straight to the Luoyang Palace.

Luoyang Imperial Palace——

Imperial Study Room.

Cao Fang was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot. He heard the several gunshots just now very clearly.

Has the Han army already begun to attack?

It's just that...after four cannon shots, there was no movement.

Just when Cao Fang was anxious, Chen Tai came in from outside and no longer waited for the eunuch to report. As soon as he entered the room, he bowed to Cao Fang and said: "Your Majesty!"

"Prime Minister, how is the situation?" Cao Fang asked anxiously.

"Han Army..." Chen Tai frowned and sighed: "The Han Army has issued an ultimatum, and your Majesty will surrender within one stick of incense."

"Otherwise..."

"Otherwise!"

"Otherwise, they will bombard Luoyang City."

After hearing these words, Cao Fang collapsed on the ground with a bang.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Tai knelt down and tried to help Cao Fang up, but Cao Fang was already limp. Although he had not seen the power of the Hanwang Cannon with his own eyes, he could feel the loud bangs just now.<

/p>

This thing is very powerful.

"Your Majesty!"

"Get an idea quickly!"

Chen Tai is also very anxious now. He has already seen the power of Hanwang Cannon.

"Prime Minister!" Cao Fang asked: "Can our army stop it?"

Chen Tai shook his head affirmatively and said: "The Han army just fired a cannonball at the South Gate Tower, and the roof of the South Gate Tower has been blown apart."

"Prime Minister, do you want me to surrender?" Cao Fang asked again.

Chen Tai still shook his head and said: "There is a small door in the northeast corner. Your Majesty can escape from Luoyang immediately through this door. After your Majesty leaves, the veteran will fight to the death with the Han army to buy your Majesty time to escape."

When other civil servants advised Cao Fang to move the capital, Chen Tai opposed it.

But at this moment, he hoped that Cao Fang would run away quickly.

He didn't know the power of Hanwang's artillery before, and he didn't think that the Han army would attack Luoyang in a large scale. Even if it attacked, the emperor would be in Luoyang, and the 130,000 Wei army would be able to stop the Han army.

But at this moment, he no longer had the confidence.

The range of Hanwang's artillery is 1,500 paces.

Nowadays, the Han army's artillery is less than 600 steps away from the city head. This shows that the Han army's Hanwang artillery is not only intended to attack the city tower. Once the war starts, I am afraid that the Han army will really attack Luoyang City directly.

Escape——

When Cao Fang heard this, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

A month ago, many civil servants, including his biological father Cao Kai, King of Jinan, advised him to leave Luoyang temporarily to avoid the attack of the Han army.

However, he refused.

Because he is the emperor of Wei.

As the monarch of a country, how can he be the first to escape?

But now, Chen Tai, who had supported him to stick to Luoyang, also asked him to escape through the small door.

But, where can we escape now?

For more than a month, the Wei Dynasty has been busy spreading rumors, hoping to make the Han army self-disrupted, so that the Han army may retreat without fighting.

What a pity.

For more than a month, the Han army did not rebel. Instead, it was unstoppable. Now only the city of Luoyang was left in the Wei Dynasty. The other prefectures and counties were either captured by the Han army or surrendered to the Han army.

.

"Where should I run away?" Cao Fang sighed and shook her head helplessly.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Tai said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter where you escape. As long as you leave Luoyang, as long as your Majesty is still there, we, the Wei Dynasty, still have hope of restoring our country."

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly!" Chen Tai urged.

"That's all...that's all..." Cao Fang waved her hand, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Surrender, I will be the only one who suffers the humiliation of surrender, but the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang City will be saved from ruin."

"Your Majesty!" Chen Tai continued to dissuade: "Your Majesty cannot surrender."

"Your Majesty cannot surrender!"

Cao Fang waved her hand and said: "I am the emperor, so Sun Quan is also the emperor. Since Sun Quan can open the city and surrender, so can I."

Making this decision is very difficult.

But Cao Fang has no other choice now.

Escape——

Maybe, because for more than a month, he already knew that the Han army did not surround Luoyang and left a small gate in the northeast corner.

But——

He didn't want to leave because he believed that even if he escaped from Luoyang, he would still be captured by the Han army before long, and he would still be dead by then.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Tai said and suddenly started crying.

For decades after the founding of the Wei Dynasty, two generations of the Chen family served the Wei Dynasty.

But today, the Wei Dynasty is about to fall.

"Useless stuff!"

Suddenly, a roar came from outside the palace. It was a woman's voice. Cao Fang and Chen Tai were startled, and waited for them to turn around and look outside the palace.

"My son, I pay homage to my mother!"

The visitor was Queen Guo, the empress dowager of the Wei Dynasty. Cao Fang bowed slightly to the empress dowager Guo on the spot: "The mother's atonement is due to the incompetence of her sons and ministers, and the empire of the Wei Dynasty was lost."

"Emperor!" Empress Dowager Guo said solemnly: "Have you really thought about surrendering to the Han army?"

"Yes! Queen Mother!" Cao Fang said: "I have figured it out. Being humiliated alone may save the people of Luoyang from being killed."

Empress Dowager Guo was also stunned for a moment, and then said: "Emperor, you are the emperor of the Wei Dynasty. I still have an army of 130,000 in Luoyang and a strong city defense. How can you easily give up the country that your ancestors conquered?"<

/p>

"Mother!" Cao Fang said: "Unless you want to do this...The artillery fire of the Han army is too powerful. If you insist on not surrendering, when the artillery fire of the Han army bombards us, our 130,000-strong army in Luoyang will still have nearly 100,000 troops."

I am afraid that all 300,000 people will be annihilated."

Hearing this, Queen Mother Guo also fell silent.

After killing the Sima family, the emperor seemed to have changed his temper. If there was a chance, he would definitely not choose to surrender.

However, Empress Dowager Guo is the Empress Dowager of the Wei Dynasty.

She is unwilling.

She is reluctant to give up.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The foundation of the Wei Dynasty was established by Taizu, and Emperor Wen accepted the abdication of Emperor Xian to establish the Wei Dynasty. It lasted thirty-three years. Counting the short period of King Cao Yu of Yan, the Wei Dynasty has experienced four emperors.

Is it just gone?

While Empress Dowager Guo was stunned, Cao Fang ordered the eunuchs to get the jade seal, and then slowly walked out of the imperial study together with Prime Minister Chen Tai.

Outside Luoyang City.

Liu Chan looked at the tower, smiled faintly, and then asked Liu Tan: "Tan'er, do you think Cao Fang is willing to surrender today?"

Liu Tan paused and said with a smile: "Father, regardless of whether Cao Fang surrenders or not, Cao Wei will die today."

"If he doesn't surrender, the city of Luoyang will be blown up in no time."

"Hahaha!" Liu Chan laughed a few times after hearing this, then shook his head and said: "If my father wanted to take Luoyang by force, how could he wait until today and blow up the city of Luoyang long ago?"
