Chapter 2161 Is the Northern Qi Emperor reliable?
The next thing was to summon the troops of the Western Rong Kingdom in the name of Mo Ze to return to Beijing to rescue the emperor, avenge the former kings, and drive the Southern Chu people out of the Western Rong.
Three days later, 30,000 soldiers from the Xirong gathered outside the city of Xijing. Of course, although Xiao Yichen did not want the soldiers of the Northern Qi to work hard for the Xirong, since they were working together, they naturally had to send troops.
Thirty thousand Xirong soldiers and 20,000 Northern Qi soldiers attacked Xijing, and soon the city was destroyed and Wei Shihui was captured.
The commander was captured, and the soldiers of Nanchu lost their backbone and were confused for a moment.
Dongfang Lingyu stood at the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Those who are willing to surrender, put down their weapons and avoid death."
After hearing this, most of the soldiers of Nanchu put down their weapons and surrendered, while only a small number of them were still resisting.
In less than two hours, this small number of Nanchu soldiers were wiped out.
Moze regained the position of King Xirong.
During this war, the ministers of the Western Rong were killed and wounded. Mo Ze sat in the seat, looking at the ministers standing scattered below, and sighed in his heart.
It seems that the Mo family's energy has been exhausted.
Mo Ze said to the minister below: "After repeated considerations, the Lone King decided to throw all the people and soldiers of the Western Rong and join the Northern Qi."
The ministers below were all surprised, one of them said: "King, the Western Rong finally managed to repel the invasion of Southern Chu, why did he surrender to Northern Qi again?"
The others also agreed: "Yes, king, why is this? How can the kingdoms conquered by the former kings give up people?"
Mo Ze did not argue for a moment. When everyone had finished speaking, he spoke slowly and said, "The Lone King is not giving in, but asking the Northern Qi Dynasty to accept our Xirong."
"What? Is it still asking them to surrender to Northern Qi?"
“…”
Mo Ze nodded and said, "Think about it, our Xirong is located in the northwest, the weather is bad, and the people are not full or warm in food all year round. Now, the world is united, and Wuyi and Nanchu have all surrendered to the Northern Qi Dynasty. Why didn't our Xirong take this opportunity to integrate into it?
Moreover, the emperor of Northern Qi promised the Lone King that if the Western Rong surrendered to Northern Qi, the people of Western Rong would be like the people in Northern Qi, and could intermarry and trade with the people there. Our Western Rong did not have good geographical conditions, but our Western Rong men were strong and strong. As long as they had the opportunity and let them work hard, they would definitely work hard and support their wives and children, so that the people of Western Rong could live a happy life."
After hearing Mo Ze's words, the ministers were a little skeptical.
Someone asked: "Is that Northern Qi emperor reliable?"
Another question was: "When you surrender to Northern Qi, where will the king go?"
Mo Ze said: "Emperor of Northern Qi is one in a million, no matter in terms of character or talent, and he is many times better than the Lone King. If you follow him, you will naturally have a future than following me. Moreover, this time, if it were not for the help of Emperor Northern Qi, the Western Rong would have been destroyed long ago."
"And, to show sincerity, the Emperor of Northern Qi agreed to transport a batch of grain to our Xirong before this winter to solve the current dilemma of our Xirong."
Although the Xirong had a lot of land, it was mostly barren land because of its harsh climate. Every year, there was little food and the people were hungry, which was very pitiful.
This also created their barbarity, and in order to fill their stomachs, they often robbed in villages in neighboring countries.
When the ministers heard that Northern Qi actually agreed to transport food, they were very happy, so they no longer opposed the surrender of Northern Qi.
