"I don't care if you have a good plan or not. Northern Qi is yours, not mine."

After saying that, he turned his head and no longer looked at the person in front of him angrily.

"Have you made up your mind? Do you want to surrender?"

The eldest prince's voice was heard again from under the city wall.

"We will never surrender until death," Leng Ze on the city wall continued to stick to his principles.

"Well then...keep on attacking"

"Wait a minute," a voice from the crowd stopped the enemy's determination to fight.

"and who are you?"

The enemy general questioned the person who spoke out to stop their actions.

The person who spoke was none other than the second prince of Northern Qi, Nangong Yu.

"I am your Dayu's ally, let me persuade them."

The leading general looked at their eldest prince.

The eldest prince nodded to the general who was about to lose his temper.

Nangong Yu rode a tall horse and slowly came to the foot of Yongcheng.

His eyes were cold and firm, and the sword in his hand flashed with cold light.

On the city wall, the defenders of Yongcheng looked solemnly at the approaching Second Prince, their hearts filled with contradictions and struggles.

"Soldiers defending the city, I am the second prince of Northern Qi. You are no longer able to resist. Lay down your weapons and surrender!" His voice was clearly heard by every soldier defending the city.

Leng Ze glared at the Second Prince and said sternly: "You traitor! You actually led the enemy to attack your own country!"

"I am doing this for the people of the world. Only I can bring true peace and prosperity to Northern Qi."

Leng Ze pouted, "You are guilty of treason and will be tried by the court!"

Nangong Yu said nonchalantly: "A man of insight is a wise man. Surrender, I can guarantee your safety."

The soldiers on the city wall began to whisper, confusion and fear revealed in their eyes.

Leng Ze turned to face the soldiers, raised his sword high, and shouted: "We are soldiers of Northern Qi. Our duty is to protect this city! Even if we fight to the last man, we must not surrender!"

Inspired by Leng Ze, the soldiers shouted in unison: "Fight to the last man! Fight to the last man!"

Nangong Yu's face turned gloomy when he saw that his attempts to persuade him to surrender were futile.

"Governor Liu...I order you to open the city gates."

When Governor Liu, who was pretending to be dead, heard his master calling him, he immediately became alert.

"The Second Prince has arrived, hehe...hehe...Brothers, open the city gates and welcome the Second Prince."

Some of the guards guarding the city were die-hard supporters of Governor Liu.

When they heard the order from Governor Liu, they rushed to the city gate and opened it regardless of the consequences.

“Stop them, don’t let them get near the city gates”

At Leng Ze's command, chaos broke out inside the city wall and internal fighting broke out.

Some of Governor Liu's men fought with those who were defending the city gate.

The generals outside the city gate seemed to know something and immediately burst into laughter.

"They are fighting among themselves. There weren't many people guarding the city to begin with, and now they are fighting."

The enemy generals were not afraid to make a fuss about it.

The enemy soldiers also laughed along with the general.

The rebel troops inside the city wall were soon killed by the soldiers led by the two young masters of the Wang family.

Governor Liu also lost his life in this fight.

Only after resolving internal strife can we unite against external enemies.

"Your Highness...what are you waiting for? Since these people refuse to accept my toast and refuse to listen to my advice, let's attack."

Following the order from Prince Dayu, the enemy army began to attack again.

This time the enemy attacked in one force, with a disparity of 50,000 men versus 3,000 men. There was no doubt that Dayu took Yongcheng.

Just as Dayu soldiers entered the city gate, Leng Ze and Wang Yu were escorted by Dayu soldiers to the eldest prince.

"This prince is giving you a chance. It's not too late for you to surrender now."

"You can kill us, but we will never surrender," General Wang said to the enemy with his head down.

Ouyang Miaoling, who was hiding in the dark, saw that it was her grandfather who was tied up, and was about to rush out to rescue him, but was stopped by Nangong Mingxuan beside her.

"Don't worry... just be patient, I won't let Grandfather get hurt."

Ouyang Miaoling looked suspiciously at the man in front of her who was stopping her from going out to rescue.

"I wonder what you are up to?"

"Just watch it."

As he said this, he pulled Ouyang Miaoling and asked her to continue looking in the direction his finger was pointing.

"Stop talking nonsense to them and just kill this old thief."

"This old thief has killed many of our Dayu soldiers in the past."

"I killed the thieves who tried to invade our Northern Qi territory. You didn't stay in your own territory, but insisted on occupying other countries' territories as invaders. Don't you deserve to die?"

"You old bastard"

As he said this, he was about to use the sword in his hand to beat Wang Yu to death.

"Wait a minute"

The eldest prince stopped his general's actions.

"Keep this old man for now. We may need him in the future."

"Then leave this one for me to kill."

The one who spoke was Nangong Yu.

After Nangong Yu finished speaking, he didn't care whether the other party agreed or not. He directly drew out the sword in his hand and stabbed towards Leng Ze.

Just when Nangong Yu’s sword was about to pierce Leng Ze’s chest.

The sword light beside him blocked Nangong Yu's sword that was about to stab forward.

The one who blocked his shuriken was Xue Yang who was beside him.

"Xue Yang...you are courting death. How dare you stop this prince?"

"The Second Prince should be spared. He is also one of our compatriots. You cannot kill him."

"I am going to kill him today?"

"Then Xue Yang is offended,"

"Xue Yang, do you dare?"

As he said this, he pointed the sword in his hand directly at Xue Yang in front of him.

Xue Yang was not to be outdone and prepared to meet the Second Prince's attack with the sword in his hand.

Just when the situation became tense, a voice rang out from behind, breaking the deadlock in the confrontation.

"Your subordinate respectfully welcomes the Second Prince into the city."

The person who spoke was Song Yi.

"You came at the right time. You have made an invaluable contribution to our successful attack on Yongcheng. When I take that position in the future, I will make you a frontier official to manage the land of Northern Qi."

"Yes...Thank you, Second Prince."

"Listen, anyone who lays down their weapons and surrenders now will not only not be held accountable by this prince, but will also be rewarded handsomely."

There were still a few soldiers in the crowd who were determined to defend Yongcheng to the death. Encouraged by the Second Prince, they were somewhat shaken. Some of them put down their weapons, and others followed suit and also put down their weapons.

The second prince looked at the battle situation in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

He turned to the eldest prince Da Yu and said, "This prince has already captured Yongcheng. Now is the time to put pressure on the Northern Qi court."

"Oh..what does the Second Prince want to do?"

"The eldest prince wishes me the position of general. I will give you the three cities of Yongcheng, Lincheng and Yecheng. What do you think?"

"Second Prince, you are collaborating with the enemy and betraying your country. Aren't you afraid of being despised by the people of Northern Qi?"

"A real man can bend and stretch. It's okay for them to scold him for a while, right?"

"Once I get what I want, I will definitely lead them to a better life."

"Grand Prince...Do you agree with the proposal made by this prince?"
