I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

The servant outside said,

"Master, I have said it, but the man insisted on coming. He said his name was Yan and he came from the north. He said you knew him and you must meet him."

"What the hell is that Yan? I don't know him..."

Hearing this, the servant was so angry that his nose was crooked. He turned out to be a liar. Just wait and see how I beat him when I get out.

Suddenly, Huang Tao, who was urinating with great pleasure, shuddered all over and suddenly realized,

"No, no, no, please come in, quickly, this is a distinguished guest!"

"Ah? Oh, I'll go right away."

Huang Yao quickly shook the urinal, tidied her clothes, and quickly returned to the living room.

A moment later, a young man with an unremarkable appearance walked in, clasped his hands and said with a smile,

"I've met Mr. Huang."

"Your Excellency is coming from the north?"

"That's right. I'm here on the orders of the prince to meet with Master Huang. If Master Huang has anything to say, I'll pass it on to the prince."

The young man smiled and said,

"Master Huang is such a busy man! I came here in the afternoon, but I waited until the evening."

Huang Tao smiled and said,

"Dear guest, please take a seat. I am helpless. The entire court is paying close attention to this matter. As soon as I returned, they all gathered around to ask about it.

But, I have accomplished something meritorious this time..."

Huang Tao exaggerated some of his actions and talked about how he used his eloquence to persuade everyone to surrender.

That day the network staff laughed and said,

"Okay, okay, I will report all of Mr. Huang's contributions to His Majesty, and His Majesty will never forget Mr. Huang's help."

"I work for His Majesty, and I seek no reward. However, I would like to ask, are you still recruiting generals to surrender?"

After thinking for a moment, the Skynet personnel said,

"Let's just ask them to surrender. After all, the more surrenderists there are, the better it is for us.

They might not dare to turn against the emperor, but they certainly dare to surrender."

"That's good. Then I can go ahead and do my job."

Huang Tao said with some worry,

"However, once this news gets out today, I'm afraid that many powerful people will transfer their assets in advance and then quietly send their families and themselves out of the city, right?"

The Skynet personnel smiled and said,

“It seems that Master Huang was really busy this afternoon and didn’t pay attention to the outside news.

The prince had already thought of this. Not long after you left, His Royal Highness the Prince of the South sent more than 10,000 Zhennan troops to guard the four directions of Luoyang City day and night.

In the current Luoyang City, no one is allowed to enter or leave.

The entire city is now a huge cage.

As for their hidden assets, haha, we Yan Army have a hundred ways to make them voluntarily reveal them."

"That's good. In that case, I'll be relieved."

Huang Tao chuckled, with a look of pride in his eyes.

That night, he arranged a room for Skynet personnel to rest.

The Skynet personnel did not tell him that there were actually officials in the Wei court whom they had bribed. Tomorrow, they would all persuade the Emperor of Wei to surrender and guide the entire court.

At this time, the Yan army had not yet completely crossed the river, and had nothing to do, so they made some plans to let the Wei State fall into chaos first.

Surrender is naturally the best option. If you don’t surrender, the dilapidated city of Luoyang will not be able to withstand the attack of the Yan army.

……

The next morning, all the civil and military officials came to the court.

The Emperor of Wei had not arrived yet, and the buzzing sound of the ministers in the court discussing in low voices could be heard continuously. Everyone had a worried look on their faces, discussing whether they should surrender or fight to the death.

Cao Xiang also came. He listened to the people around him talking without any doubts in his heart.

Although he was sleeping at home, people from the Prince of Jin's Mansion went outside to find officials to inquire about this matter.

Looking at the attitudes of the civil and military officials in the court, Cao Xiang also sighed inwardly.

Are we really going to surrender?

A feeling of powerlessness came over me.

He felt helpless and unwilling.

No real soldier would be willing to surrender and survive, but what else could he do for the emperor's life?

Fight? Even with 150,000 Wei troops, he couldn't defeat 150,000 Yan troops.

So can the 200,000 Wei troops defeat the more than 600,000 Yan troops?

The result of resistance can only be a massacre.

Soon, Cao De came up. Although he was wearing a dragon robe, he did not look very majestic at the moment.

He sat on the dragon throne and said,

"Go to court."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Flat body."

Cao De said weakly,

"Today, we will discuss only one matter. Lord Huang, please tell us all what you saw and heard yesterday."

"According to the order."

Huang Tao stood up again and repeated what he had said countless times.

The ministers were mentally prepared and were not surprised at this moment. They just stood there quietly.

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

Everyone remained silent. At this time, no one was willing to take the initiative to stand up and express their opinions.

"No one wants to speak? Prime Minister, please speak."

The Prime Minister stood up helplessly and said,

"Your Majesty, I believe that for the sake of Your Majesty's well-being, for the lives of all officials, and for the survival of the millions of soldiers and civilians in Luoyang, we should...

drop!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials looked at him.

Cao De sighed and said,

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

No one spoke, and no one stood up to oppose the Prime Minister's words.

"It seems, my dear ministers, that we all think we should surrender."

"Prince Jin, what do you think about this matter?"

Cao De looked at Cao Xiang, the person he relied on the most.

Cao Xiang said,

"Your Majesty, I believe we can discuss further matters with the Yan army, such as the placement of royal family members and dignitaries, and the protection of their property.

These are the capital that everyone relies on to make a living. Without them, we can’t survive. Living is no different from being dead.”

Everyone immediately agreed, saying that King Jin was right.

Huang Tao snorted coldly,

"Yesterday, Prince Lanling made it clear that he would no longer accept negotiations from the envoys.

If you want to go, you go. I won't go. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem like I'm not keeping my word?"

Cao De sighed and said,

"Lord Huang, you are indeed exhausted from the journey these past few days. How about this, Lord Fang Ling, you should hurry up and go to the Yan army to discuss the matter with Shen Changgong. We are all waiting for you here, so go quickly."

"The minister obeys the order."

The minister hurriedly accepted the order and rode in a carriage out of the city.

There was a deathly silence in the court.

Cao De closed his eyes and rested.

None of the ministers dared to speak.

A quarter of an hour later, Leader Fang rushed in.

Cao De frowned and said,

"Didn't I ask you to go on a diplomatic mission? How come you're back so soon?" Fang Ling knelt down and said,

"Your Majesty, the Yan army blocked the city gates and asked me if I was surrendering. I said I was an envoy, but they said they would not accept negotiations and wanted to kill me.

Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have died!"
