"Emperor Yongzhao surrendered?"

Zhao Cuo stood astride his horse behind the military formation.

He looked at Zhao Yuanqing in surprise, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, his expression still heavy.

It was indeed unexpected that the deposed emperor gave up his escape, but it was also his only choice in a desperate situation. Although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

"The deposed emperor did not mobilize his army to go out of the city to fight. The soldiers guarding the city opened the city gate and offered to surrender."

General Zhao said in a deep voice while suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"good."

Mr. Zhao nodded.

He heard this and understood the situation.

The young emperor did not really give the order to surrender. He knew that there was no hope of victory, so he gave up the resistance.

"General, please pass on the order and ask the soldiers to stand ready and not be careless in the slightest! To avoid falling into the rebels' possible plan to surrender."

General Zhao remained rational. He had already been convinced that he could win when he captured the Dragon Clan, so at this moment of victory, he only felt relieved.

"How are we to surrender?"

Zhao Yuanqing hesitated.

There are nearly 100,000 rebels in the capital of Qi.

If this was a mistake, the remaining soldiers and defeated generals would cause huge troubles in the city, and it would be the people who would suffer at that time.

"The vast majority of the rebels are just people from the Six Kingdoms who were coerced by Emperor Yongzhao. You order the army to shout into the city, and those who put down their weapons and walk out of the city will not be guilty."

Zhao Cuo paused for a moment and then said that he was experienced in dealing with the aftermath of wars, and that those among the rebels who could not be killed should be spared their lives as much as possible.

"As for the enemy generals, except for Lin Anmin, the traitor who deserves to be punished, I believe that they were all coerced by the deposed emperor and had no choice but to wear armor."

Mr. Zhao said hesitantly.

War is not his purpose. He will take over the management of the Six Nations, so naturally he cannot kill all the generals of the Six Nations Army.

Those who can hold the title of general in the army are all members of the gentry class in the vassal states. In order to stabilize the situation in a short period of time, they should kill less.

"What the general said is true. Even if the generals in the rebel army are guilty, we should wait until the war calms down before interrogating them carefully."

The commander-in-chief nodded with deep understanding, he understood the meaning of Zhao Thief's words, and now he still has to focus on the overall situation.

War is not just about fighting and killing. How to deal with the consequences after victory is even more important. Everything should be based on interests.

After the two countries meet at war, the so-called justice and kindness will become pale. The most important thing is the pros and cons.

"Follow the general's arrangements."

Zhao Cuo raised his head and looked at the capital of King Qi that seemed to be right in front of him.

"This general will enter the royal city before sunset and tell the rebel generals to surround the palace where Emperor Yongzhao is located. No one is allowed to enter. Anyone who violates this will be regarded as refusing to surrender!"

Mr. Zhao said calmly that he could now threaten the rebels who were still in the capital of King Qi. The life and death of everyone in the city depended on his thoughts.

"As you command!"

Zhao Yuanqing saluted, turned his horse's head and left.

"We've finally come to this point... I've made them wait for me for too long."

General Zhao murmured, turning his head to look in the direction of the Yu capital, and the soft and pleasant spring breeze blew across his face.

Although the conquest of Qi State was unstoppable along the way, we have been fighting for more than a month here, and summer will begin in two or three months.

"An'er will be born when I return to Beijing, right? Which one comes first, him or Huan'er, or Ning'er in my mother's belly?"

When Zhao Cuo thought of this, the corners of his mouth began to curl with pride, but he quickly restrained himself.

He will soon be promoted to a higher level, and he will have many younger brothers and sisters, and he will behave like a father and brother.

As a father, he also has experience in this. The Imperial Master also called him father, while Yan'er preferred to call him "daddy".

"General Zhao has an order, and the soldiers who leave the city with their hands are not guilty! After this battle, they can receive money and go home."

Outside the King's City of Qi.

The Confederate Army's more than 200,000 troops were divided into various battle formations.

Deafening voices urging surrender echoed on the battlefield.

"Most of the rebel generals were coerced by the deposed emperor and had no choice but to rebel. Those who surrender today will be exempted from death penalty! If they surrender sincerely, the palace will be protected."

The superior conditions given by Zhao Cuo also showed the courage of Dayu's king. After a brief period of silence in the capital, a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami came.

"General Zhao Renyi!"

"I am willing to surrender."

"Wow..."

The soldiers of the Six Kingdoms hardly hesitated.

After all, this is not Dayu's external pioneering war, but a civil war, and the rebels are also Dayu people.

Soon, disarmed soldiers poured out of the wide-open city gate of King Qi's capital. They raised their hands above their heads and obediently followed the instructions and squatted down in an open space.

"General Zhao has said that this battle will only kill Emperor Yongzhao and his party. All compatriots from the six countries are my subjects of Dayu."

The Southern Army was still shouting according to Zhao Cuo's wishes.

This trick is of course useful. The rebels who surrendered out of the city are in good order, and the troublemakers among them will even be eliminated by their own people.

Everything went according to plan until late in the afternoon when the rebels, who claimed to be one hundred thousand but actually only had about seventy thousand, had assembled outside the capital of the King of Qi.

"General Zhao is victorious!" Zhao Cuo appeared on the front line riding a snow-trained white horse, surrounded by soldiers, "Enter the city."

He looked at the capital of the King of Qi in front of him with a calm expression. The southern army was filing in through the city gate to clear the way for him.

"What's the situation in the city? Has the palace been attacked by the rebels? Is Emperor Yongzhao still there?"

Mr. Zhao asked the Confederate generals who came out of the city.

"General, several rebel generals have led their troops to surround the Qi Palace and are waiting for you to come and accept your surrender."

Zhao Thief only nodded slightly when he heard this. He had already known the news about King Qi's self-immolation and death, so as long as he captured Emperor Yongzhao alive, he could basically end the war.

"Commander Zhao will go with me to Prince Qi's palace."

He said without hesitation or haste.

"yes!"

Zhao Cuo rode into the city on a tall horse and was guarded by his own soldiers.

There was no longer any obstacle in front of him, and the city road was empty except for the soldiers of the Southern Army.

The State of Qi was quite prosperous, so the royal palace was naturally of extraordinary splendor, and its structure had many standards that could be seen as overstepping the royal family.

"General Sin is waiting to meet General Zhao!"

"That's all."

Mr. Zhao looked calmly at the rebel general who was kneeling on the ground outside the palace.

"You have to restrain the officers and soldiers in your hands, and someone will hand over the military power to you. You are all ministers of Yu."

His last words made the rebel general lying on the ground breathe a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, please step back."

The Zhao thief entered Qi Palace with heavy troops.

He walked straight to the main palace. Emperor Yongzhao did not run away, but was waiting for him in the palace.

From this point alone, he felt that the deposed emperor had some imperial spirit, at least he could afford to lose.

"General...the deposed emperor is in the main hall."

The deputies he sent out returned.

After listening to his words, Mr. Zhao just nodded, turned over and dismounted, and placed his right hand on the sword at his waist.

The commander-in-chief of the Southern Army on the side waved to Yuan Qing, and a group of people and horses escorted General Zhao and walked towards the main hall with him.

"How dare you, the rebellious minister and traitor, sit on the throne? If you don't kneel down and salute, this is..."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhao Cuo raised his hand and interrupted the confidant beside him.

He looked calmly at the handsome and thin man sitting in the hall.
