There is no need to say more about what this early plan meant.

When the Ling King heard this, he said with pain: "You asked me to give up the capital and flee, and give up the great spirit's foundation for hundreds of years? If so, what is my face to meet the ancestors of all generations!"

"But Your Majesty, the front line is now retreating step by step, and there is no barrier to stop the enemy. It won't take long to meet with a million troops in Lingzhou. At that time, how can Your Majesty protect the 100-year foundation of Daling?" Cheng Ping said seriously.

This is the fact, and the Ling King himself understood it, but he couldn't pass this hurdle in his heart. He couldn't help but say: "After I proclaimed myself, I was attacked by the King of Qin in the east. This is really hateful. If I were defeated and fled as the emperor, it would be no different from Emperor Rui at the time."

"Your Majesty's words are wrong." Cheng Ping understood his psychology and advised him seriously: "Shang Rui is a foolish and incompetent person, and Your Majesty is the Holy Lord. How can you compare with each other? The defeat is only for a moment. If Your Majesty moves east, he may not be able to make a comeback."

Hearing that the King of Spirit could not help but look at him.

Cheng Ping continued: "My great spirit has a century-long heritage and a strong financial resources. In the east, there are not only dangers of mountains and seas, but also the 100,000 regular troops of General Chang Zhen. Your Majesty is enough to use this separatist. You only need to endure for a few years and wait for changes."

"Although the King of Qin has obtained our territory, he will definitely not be supported by the local gentry family, because Qin Ce strictly prohibited the powerful from annexing fertile land, which violated the interests of the class. On the east side, when the food, grass and weapons are prepared, the strong bow and crossbow are built, and the recruitment of soldiers and brave training is over, Your Majesty can contact the wealthy gentry of the Ling Kingdom, get their support, and counterattack from the east."

If Cheng Ping's words are possible.

After hearing this, the last hope arose in his heart. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and made up his mind to say, "Okay! According to your words, the movement eastward will be completed as soon as possible."

"I accept the order." Cheng Ping responded first and said, "But Your Majesty, the situation is critical. You must give up some things that should be abandoned to avoid being burdened by the multitude of things and delaying the time."

"Well, you are in charge of all these." The Spirit King nodded, and decided to flee east, and then explained: "In addition, you immediately order Wei Guang to keep Xinchang no matter what, and not to retreat. Tell him that I have already drawn the Dongjing garrison here and will support him immediately."

Xinchang was the last city to Lingzhou, and it was to make Wei Guang delay time there. The words of Ling King were equivalent to giving up the last troops on the front line.

Cheng Ping didn't say anything about this because it must be done, otherwise Su Yi's advance would be too fast.

He was about to bow and retreat, but the guards outside the door walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Taizhong Doctor Huo Lian, the Right Armour, the Ministers of the Dumen's Inner Order, and other ministers asked for their visit."

The Spirit King frowned, looked at Cheng Ping naturally, and then said impatiently: "Let them come in."

"No." The guards took the order and left.

Soon, led by Huo Lian, seven or eight Lingguo civil servants entered the study.

Everyone stepped forward in small steps, knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison: "See Your Majesty--"

"Don't give me a gift." King Ling waved his sleeves and sat behind the desk. When everyone got up, he also looked at Huo Lian coldly and said calmly: "Is there anything important to ask for a visit in the study room?"

Huo Lian was about fifty years old and was a doctor of the Taizhong period of Ling Kingdom. His official position was not low. He did not notice the look of Ling King looking at him. He looked sad and said, "Your Majesty, the Ling Kingdom is in danger today. If one of them is not handled properly, my 100-year foundation in Da Ling will be destroyed."

"Huh?" The Ling King frowned secretly and said, "What do you mean by my dear?"

Huo Lian said: "The Qin King's Tiger and Wolf Army, attacking the city and siege, and the vast territory of our Ling Kingdom has fallen. At this time, Your Majesty can no longer force the troops. Only by speaking with the Qin King and stopping this war can you protect the Daling Kingdom..."

Although it is tactful, to put it bluntly, this is persuading surrender.

How could the Spirit King not hear it? He suppressed his anger and said, "I am the emperor who is willing to bow to the King of Qin?"

"No, no, no, I am not this intention, but I am thinking about Your Majesty." Huo Lian said: "The battle of Qin Ling caused heavy taxes in the world, the war ravaged the earth, the people were displaced, and the people were living in poverty. If you force troops, it will not only fail to reverse the situation of the war, but also cause trouble for life. If you seek peace with Qin, you will not only be able to protect Lingzhou, but also your Majesty can live in peace with the King of Qin."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Another minister said, "Mr. Huo is a loyal and kind word, and Your Majesty must observe it."

"Your Majesty, I heard that in the battle of Ruizhou, the Qin general Su Yi would slaughter the whole city. If we continue to fight, I wonder how many innocent people will die in danger."

"It is the best strategy to cease war with Qin today, so Your Majesty think twice."

"Your Majesty also asks you to think about the people of the world so as not to suffer from the suffering of life..."

People talk all the same, but they all act with high-sounding reasons and persuading surrender.

At the end, everyone knelt down and said in unison: "Please think twice before-"

This scene made the Spirit King clench his fists secretly, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed away.

However, he was not angry, but took a deep breath to calm down and said as calmly as possible: "I already know what you said, but this matter is of great importance and I still need to consider it."

"His Majesty......"

Huo Lian was about to say something else, but King Ling had already swept to him coldly and interrupted: "Why, such a big deal, do I have no time to think about it!"

Huo Lian was also frightened by such words and said quickly: "No, no, how dare I, my uncle? Your Majesty calmed down. But as a minister, he had to make a loyal and good word."

What a loyal and kind person! The Spirit King sneered in his heart and waved his hand and said, "Okay! I will consider this matter. Let's retreat if you have nothing to do."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, but there was no way, so they could only salute each other again: "Your Majesty think twice, I will leave--"

After persuading the surrender, seven or eight civil officials left. The Ling King couldn't help it anymore. He slapped the table hard and stood up and said angrily: "These slander ministers are greedy for wealth and fear of death! They even tried their best to persuade me to surrender to the Qin thief, but they are really cunning! You dare to say something loyal and kind, which is really ridiculous!"

Speaking of this, he was also furious: "Now the head of the Taizhong doctor Huo Lian, these villains are like forcing the palace! Is it unbearable? Even if I ordered the Sili Camp to secretly execute these people while moving east!"

"This." Cheng Ping said with some concern: "Although Huo Lian and others are hateful, they only persuaded surrender and did not grasp the substantial act of treason. If they are executed..."
