The entire Northland was in chaos.

The Zhou army and the Han army were embedded in each other's range. You were surrounded by me, and I was surrounded by you. You couldn't tell who surrounded whom.

In comparison, the situation in Hanoi is much clearer.

Dugu Yongye was constantly beaten, tens of thousands of troops huddled in the city, and Liu Taozi led the army to attack day and night.

The sound of throwing carts and shooting resounded continuously, and arrows covered the sky again and again.

Under the fierce day and night attacks of the Han army, Yewang City was on the verge of collapse and suffered heavy casualties.

There was a sense of deep despair all over the city.

There were soldiers running quickly in the city, and noises could be heard everywhere.

There were officers leading the soldiers through the alleys. The soldiers were like ants, constantly shuttling back and forth in the huge Yewang City.

The officer looked at the two soldiers, who took a few steps back and rushed toward the courtyard door in front of them.

"Bang~~"

“Bang!!”

"Crack!"

After hitting it several times, the courtyard door collapsed.

A scream came from the courtyard, and someone quickly ran into the house. Several soldiers pulled out their knives and started shouting. Within a moment, the ants transformed into tigers and wolves, five big and thick, holding sharp knives, and occupied the courtyard. Some of them started to search.

, leaving nothing behind, even the chicken coop, they would reach out and dig through it to see if they could find anything good.

The officer led the other two people into the house.

There was only one woman in the house, holding several children, shivering with fear.

The soldiers continued to 'search' and missed nothing.

In every house, there were constant cries.

When the officer returned to the street with the captives, many teams with full harvests had appeared on the road. Many men, old and young, were all tied up at this moment and brought all the way back to the school grounds as new students.

A batch of cannon fodder for defending the city.

The things looted were used as military supplies.

Just as I walked towards the school grounds, I suddenly saw flames coming from the east.

That was the direction of the arsenal. When the soldiers rushed over, they saw a mob. The civilian husband who had just been arrested not long ago took advantage of the opportunity to transport supplies and entered the arsenal. Then they attacked the soldiers here and set fire to them.

The soldiers were not surprised and quickly suppressed these lawless villains.

The city has formed its own cycle system. In order to defend the city, they are constantly recruiting civilians and plundering money. However, their actions have led to frequent resistance by the people, making it difficult to defend the city. Then, in order to defend the city, they have increased their efforts again.

The area around the official office was already heavily guarded.

However, the atmosphere here was equally dead. The soldiers did not speak, and just patrolled back and forth in the mansion silently.

In the inner room, there were musicians singing.

The ministers and generals were sitting on the left and right respectively. Everyone looked very bad. Even though the musicians played hard, they could not appreciate the charm of the music.

Only Dugu Yongye was sitting in the upper seat, holding a wine cup in his hand, eating with big mouthfuls, his face was red and he looked drunk.

The next moment, a person suddenly broke into the house quickly.

"Get out of the way!!"

"Get out of the way!!"

After hearing a few roars, the man rushed in quickly. Everyone looked around and saw that the person who came was none other than Dugu Xuda.

Duguxuda looked at the scene in the house and became even more angry, "Everyone get out! Get out!"

However, the ministers did not dare to listen and looked at Dugu Yongye one after another.

Dugu Yongye looked at the son who was disturbing his enjoyment, stared at him for a long time, and then said: "Let's all go out first."

The ministers and generals seemed to have been relieved. They stood up one after another and said goodbye. The musicians also left together.

The father and son were the only ones left in the house.

Dugu Xuda hurriedly stepped forward and took away the wine cup.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

"How can you be so drunk in the face of a powerful enemy?"

Dugu Yongye's eyes were complicated. He looked at his son and suddenly laughed disdainfully.

"What, do you have a way to repel the enemy?"

Dugu Xuda was speechless for a moment.

He said seriously: "When I was young, my father taught me archery. I thought it was too difficult, so I wanted to give up. My father once told me that unless my finger is broken and I can no longer hold the bow, don't do it lightly."

Say "give up"

"Currently, there are still several states in my hands. I have more than 100,000 troops at my disposal, millions of subjects under my command, and countless civil servants and generals!"

"No matter how you say it, it won't reach the point where your fingers are broken and you can't hold the bow. Why did you give up?"

Now, it was Dugu Yongye's turn to be speechless.

His eyes gradually became clear, but were immediately replaced by deep sadness.

He said: "You don't know how to fight."

"I have several states under my command, but outside of Heluo, the defenses of the areas are in vain and cannot stop the enemy. With a hundred thousand troops, only ten thousand can fight the enemy. The so-called subjects have long been alienated. Civil servants and generals,

Talking about the tiger's complexion, he no longer dared to fight Liu Taozi head-on."

"This is not a broken finger, this is a broken arm!!"

Dugu Yongye raised his head, "With such an offensive, in just half a month, you and I will become the prisoners of Liu Taozi."

"Nothing like that!!"

Then I heard a voice coming from outside the door, interrupting the conversation between father and son.

Dugu Yongye was furious and was about to reprimand when he saw Yang Su walking in quickly with a determined look on his face.

Dugu Xuda sneered, "The reason why we have fallen to this point is not all because of Yang Jun's gift?"

"Master, even if you are Liu Taozi's prisoner, you must first kill this Zhou people who did bad things!"

Yang Su was not afraid at all. He looked at Dugu Yongye and said, "My lord, I didn't expect Liu Taozi to be able to confuse the people to this extent. The mistake was my fault. Whether your lord wants to punish or kill him, I have no complaints."

"As a humble person, life and death are not a big deal, but my lord is different."

"My lord, Tiger has been in Heluo for many years. Even Zhou, with an army of 200,000, couldn't defeat Liu Taozi. So what does it matter now?"

"Even if we let him seize the wild king, we can still retreat to Jin Yong and continue to hold on, but Liu Taozi still can't be cruel!"

Dugu Yongye sneered, "What's the difference between returning to Jinyong and staying at Yewang? It's just a different place to make a tomb."

Yang Su fell silent. It seemed that he was thinking, his face was mostly tangled, and he hesitated to speak.

Dugu Xuda disliked Yang Su very much and was ready to drive him out immediately.

But before he could speak, Yang Su bowed to Dugu Yongye.

"Lord, there is only one solution left at the moment."

"you say."

"Submit to the Great Zhou."

Dugu Yongye was not surprised or surprised. He didn't even answer. Dugu Xuda sneered, "Is this the real purpose of your coming here?"

Yang Su knelt on the ground and said seriously: "My lord, Liu Taozi will definitely not let you go. He has always prided himself on loving the people. With what we have done, if we fall into his hands, we will die."

I'm afraid he will be tortured and killed like the King of Nanyang back then."

"And Wang Lin attacked fiercely from the east, progressing faster and faster, and more and more soldiers were trapped."

"To stay in Hanoi is to die, and to return to Kim Yong is the same."

"The only way is to surrender to the Great Zhou."

"The Emperor of Zhou has always attached great importance to the land of Heluo. If the lord surrenders, he will never treat me badly. The lord can continue his official title, wealth, and perhaps continue to sit in Heluo."

Dugu Xuda did not refute the other party at this moment.

It's just that his face is extremely ugly.

As for Dugu Yongye, he suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"Yang Jun, Yang Jun."

"It's easy to surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but how can you save your life?"

"Do you think that I should stand on the city wall and shout to Liu Taozi?"

Dugu Yongye stood up and pointed forward, as if pointing at Liu Taozi, and said in a pretentious manner: "Liu Taozi! I have submitted to the Emperor of Zhou!!"
