If Cao De announced his surrender now, he would have to notify the Yan army to come and accept the surrender. There were still two or three days left before the deadline given by the Yan army. He did not want to surrender so early, nor did he want to give up the throne so early.

If Cao De surrendered now and held the surrender ceremony a few days later, he would lose his power as emperor in those few days, and the soldiers would no longer listen to him! The Imperial Guards would no longer fight for him!

The imperial power was lost, the court collapsed, and the power of the government vanished in an instant. The violent soldiers and mobs would cause chaos in the city, killing and looting, and the entire Luoyang city would instantly turn into purgatory.

You, the emperor, are about to surrender. You are no longer the emperor. Who will support you? Who will protect you?

If we kill you, your money and your woman will all be ours.

Cao De was well aware of the evil of human nature, so he would never give up his rights as emperor at this time.

Otherwise, he will die without a burial place!

He returned to the harem and continued to indulge in wine and women.

The ministers also realized that the emperor wanted to surrender. He was no longer interested in state affairs and was only enjoying himself in the harem.

Now, it's time for them to find a way out for themselves.

Many officials prepared a lot of gold and silver and sent people to pull carriages to deliver them outside the city. After seeing the Yan cavalry, they said they wanted to see the two kings and give them gifts.

Someone also handed the envelope to the Yan army, asking them to deliver it to the two kings.

After leaving their things behind, those people quickly ran into the city.

After all, the Yan army is blocking the door and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

After Cao Xiang learned about this, he immediately ordered the city gates to be blocked and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

At the same time, he also sent his confidants to watch over the city gates and strictly prohibited anyone from opening them.

But what he didn't expect was that his subordinates also knew that the court was preparing to surrender.

Those who wanted to leave the city could successfully leave after bribing the defenders with money.

Of course, they also tried to bribe the Yan people with money in exchange for the qualification to escape from the city.

The result was that he was chopped to death by the Yan people.

It’s not that the people of Yan don’t love money, but that they have received a death order from above.

Emperor Cao De of Wei is in the city and may leave Luoyang by any means. Any unit that dares to let one person leave the city will be punished for releasing the emperor of an enemy country. The informant will be rewarded but not punished, and all others will be held accountable!

Under such heavy penalties and rewards, the Yan army did not dare to gamble on the humanity of their colleagues, so they could only refuse to collect money and not allow people inside to leave the city.

The Wei soldiers dared to accept money because they knew they were about to surrender. The court's credibility was declining rapidly, and now everyone was thinking about themselves.

The Yan army did not dare to accept the money because the Yan State was prosperous and the court and army were very powerful, so they did not dare to try to stop it.

Of course, as the invincible Yan army, they naturally have their own pride and are unwilling to become wanted criminals for some money and give up their bright future.

The people in Luoyang still couldn't get out, so they could only give gifts to the two kings of the Yan army.

So, in the past few days, Shen Changgong and Ma Ling received a huge amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and letters of pleading.

Looking at the gold, silver and letter, Shen Changgong threw the letter directly into the brazier and sneered,

"Now you know you're here to bribe us, but why didn't you do that earlier? After they surrender, all the gold and silver in their homes will be ours. Thinking you can just take some of that gold and silver to protect your property is just wishful thinking."

Gongsun Wan'er chimed in like a lackey,

"That's right, once they surrender, all the wealth in Luoyang City will belong to us. Who would care about such a small amount of money?"

Shen Changgong looked at Ma Ling with a smile and said,

"Brother Nan Wang, tomorrow, our entire army will cross the river. When that happens, we will surround Luoyang City, and the enemy will most likely surrender.

Do you have any ideas?"

"Just surrender if you want to. This will save us from having to fight. I'll have some thoughts."

King Nan looked at Shen Changgong in confusion.

Shen Changgong chuckled and said,

"As far as I know, the Emperor of Wei really likes mature women, just like your taste. There must be many such women in his harem. When the time comes, you can choose first. After you have chosen, the rest can be used as military prostitutes or sent to the Jiaofang Bureau for the brothers to enjoy.

I think our brothers wouldn't compete with your Southern Prince for a woman, right?"

The generals laughed and said they would not compete with the prince.

Nan Wang's old face turned red and he snorted coldly.

"I have heard that the Queen of Wei still has her charm. I remember someone who likes the queen of another country, right?"

Everyone laughed again. Yu Ziling's face turned red. She glared at King Nan fiercely, then glanced at Shen Changgong.

Shen Changgong saw Yu Ziling's dangerous eyes, laughed and said,

"Nonsense, what's the point of being a queen? This prince only likes young, beautiful and capable women.

The Queen of Wei was old and ugly, and had no abilities at all.

"I don't keep idle women in my harem, so what do I need her for? I want her to grow old. Should I take her home and take care of her in her old age?"

Everyone laughed so hard that they were out of breath. The atmosphere in the commander's tent was extremely joyful.

Yan Fuyao had warned Shen Changgong that if he looked for women outside again, the Empress would have to keep a male concubine.

Shen Changgong was not willing to make himself a cuckold.

Now these six women are enough, one a day, and I can give my dick a break on Sunday, otherwise my waist really can't take it.

Just then, a Skynet personnel came in, took out a note, handed it to Shen Changgong, and turned to leave.

Shen Changgong looked at it and said,

"Our Lord Huang is truly dedicated to practical matters. He said that the generals they bribed in the army have already spread the exact news. Now everyone in the army knows that the emperor is going to surrender, and they have no fighting spirit.

The emperor, on his part, did intend to surrender, and so did his ministers, but they had not yet announced it.

He guessed that Cao De might want to wait until the Yan army besieged the city before surrendering, and was now enjoying himself in the harem, not caring about state affairs, and enjoying himself every day.

He also said that they had bribed only a few generals in the army, and most of the generals and soldiers were still under the control of Cao Xiang, who was loyal to Cao De.

Moreover, because Cao De had not yet ordered surrender, the Imperial Guards were still loyal to Cao De. It would be too difficult for them to rebel and kill the emperor.

Ask this king if he wants to rebel again."

The Southern King knocked on the table and said,

"Since a peaceful handover is possible, there's no need for rebellion. If Cao Deren refuses to surrender and doesn't know how to handle the current situation, we can just use them as internal support when my army attacks the city."

Shen Changgong nodded and said,

"Then write back to him and tell those generals to calm down. Also, have him prepare a list of names of those who have made contributions so that they can be rewarded when the time comes."
