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

"What are you shouting about? Who is shouting?"

Zheng Ping'an, who was commanding the battle, heard someone behind him shouting "surrender" and became furious. He vowed to tear this bastard who disrupted the morale of the army into pieces.

He was riding a horse, coming from behind, and bumped head-on into the prime minister.

"Ah? Prime Minister? Why are you here?!"

Zheng Ping'an was horrified and quickly dismounted and saluted.

The Prime Minister looked at Zheng Ping'an with tears in his eyes and said angrily,

"Zheng Ping'an, what kind of war are you fighting? Xianyang City has been occupied by the Yan army, and the emperor has been captured alive!"

"What? Xianyang City was occupied?"

Zheng Pingan's head buzzed, and he said in disbelief,

"How is that possible? The Yan army has been fighting us all along. How could they attack Xianyang?"

"Asshole, asshole, the Yan army had already sent a surprise force, bypassed the west gate, charged straight in, and captured the emperor alive.

Now the Emperor has issued an order for the entire nation to surrender. Stop fighting! Enough of our troops have been killed!"

After saying this, the Prime Minister slammed the imperial edict into Zheng Ping'an's arms.

Originally, the army was outnumbered 300,000 against 300,000, and there were 400,000 reinforcements 80 miles to the south. It was a battle that was sure to win, but Zheng Ping'an defeated them and destroyed their country.

This person is truly the eternal sinner of the Qin Dynasty!

The Prime Minister now wanted to skin Zheng Ping'an alive.

Zheng Ping'an hurriedly opened the imperial edict and checked it in the light of the torch. Then his head buzzed and he almost fainted.

"Really...really surrender?"

"Nonsense, why don't you go back to Xianyang City now and see if there is the flag of Yan State on the top of the city wall!

What are you still hesitating about? Give the order quickly. If you delay any longer, the emperor will be beheaded!"

Zheng Ping'an felt bitter and couldn't accept the news for a while, but he had to believe the facts before him.

He knew that the prime minister was the most loyal to the emperor. If the emperor's life was not in the hands of others, the prime minister would never do anything to betray the country.

The messenger on the side looked at him nervously, waiting for his order.

In the army, especially in an army at war, the commander-in-chief's orders are supreme, and the prime minister's words are of no use unless the emperor himself comes.

Otherwise, even if the imperial edict is here, the army still has to obey the commander.

Zheng Pingan had tears in his eyes and said painfully,

"Surrender!"

The messenger immediately turned around and left, came to the general's platform, struck the gong loudly, and shouted,

"The commander-in-chief has ordered the entire army to surrender!"

The battlefield was huge and his shouts could not be heard throughout the entire battlefield.

Many messengers rode on horses, carrying banners, and walked around the battlefield, shouting,

"Soldiers of the Great Qin, surrender!"

"The Emperor has decreed surrender!"

"The commander-in-chief has ordered the Qin army to surrender to the Yan army!"

As the messenger shouted loudly, all the Qin soldiers on the battlefield heard the sound.

They were all stunned and looked back in disbelief.

They don’t understand. They are just in a disadvantageous position and have not lost yet. There is still hope of a comeback. Why should they surrender?

But military orders were as heavy as a mountain, and the commander's orders were everything. They had no choice but to obey, put down their weapons, and squatted down dejectedly.

On the Yan side, after hearing the news of the Qin army's surrender, the Yan army also stopped and no longer attacked the enemy.

The Yan army also had military regulations that stipulated that those who surrendered would not be killed.

They did not dare to disobey military orders.

As batches of Qin troops laid down their weapons, the battlefield finally became quiet.

Guan Shouchang and Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. It was already three quarters past midnight, and the Yan army was so exhausted that they could hardly fight anymore.

It went smoothly on Su Wuan's side, and the Qin army really surrendered.

Guan Shouchang took a deep breath and said,

"Order the Yan army to assemble, escort the surrendered Qin army into the city, and collect the weapons on the ground."

The two sides' intertwined military formations began to retreat.

Under the command of Zheng Ping'an and the Prime Minister, the Qin army dropped their weapons and gathered towards the city gate.

After gathering, the Yan army picked up the torches on the ground and the Qin army's weapons, then surrounded the Qin army and rushed into Xianyang city together.

Zheng Ping'an rode his horse and came to Guan Shouchang's side.

The two coaches met and stopped.

It was not until this time that Zheng Ping'an could clearly see the appearance of the enemy commander.

The man was nine feet tall, with a beard two feet long, a face as red as a date, lips as red as if painted with fat, phoenix eyes, and drooping eyebrows. He had a dignified appearance and an awe-inspiring demeanor.

Holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, he was staring at him coldly.

"Excuse me, sir. Are you Guan Shouchang, the commander-in-chief of the Yan army?"

"Exactly."

After receiving a positive answer, Zheng Ping'an got off his horse, picked up his sword with both hands and held it high.

The commander offered his weapons as a sign of surrender.

Guan Shouchang asked the guard to take the sword, and then asked,

"Where's the tiger talisman?"

Zheng Ping'an took out the tiger talisman from his arms again.

The guard took it over again.

From beginning to end, Guan Shouchang never got off his horse.

Zheng Pingan said,

"I am Zheng Ping'an, the commander of the Qin army..."

"He's just a traitor."

Guan Shouchang snorted coldly and arrogantly.

This sentence made Zheng Ping's face turn red with anger, and he immediately retorted,

"General Guan, even though our army has surrendered, it doesn't mean we've lost. They say the Yan army is invincible, but our armies have been fighting for three hours, and the Yan army hasn't defeated ours, and we haven't even shown any signs of defeat.

Your words about those who are willing to sell their heads are a bit too much, aren't they?"

Hearing that he dared to be so arrogant, the guards became furious and drew their swords.

Guan Shouchang sneered and said,

"I admit that the Qin Army's fighting strength is the strongest I have ever seen in my life. Whether it is the Kun Army, the Qi Army, or the Liang Army, they are not as strong as the Qin Army.

But it's just that the Qin army is strong in combat, what does it have to do with you?

The reason why the Qin army was able to fight our army for so long was all due to the bravery of the Qin people, not your command.

On the contrary, your terrible command resulted in a complete loss of a battle that could have been won.

Bringing out all your troops and ignoring the most important city of Xianyang, which resulted in our army stealing your city, wasn't this a strategic mistake on your part?

The two armies were fighting against each other with equal strength, but you insisted on deploying the Crane Wing Formation and surrounding our army, intending to annihilate us completely. This resulted in your forces being dispersed and being defeated one by one by our army. Wasn't this a tactical mistake on your part?

If Bai Wuan were here, this battle would not be so easy for our army.

As a head coach, if he lacks strategic vision and tactical skills, what else can he be but a traitor?

Calling you a waste is a compliment to you.

You are only at the same level as Sun Tai."

After saying this, Guan Shouchang walked straight forward.

The soldiers tied Zheng Ping'an up with ropes.

Guan Shouchang glanced at the Prime Minister and said,

"Come forward and speak."

"As ordered!"

The Prime Minister immediately rode forward and followed Guan Shouchang carefully.
