Chapter 684: Liukou?
In fact, the three paths given by Leng Qiu are normal and simple, but there are just some hidden conditions.
First of all, the first rule is to judge according to the severity of the battle, and the result is nothing more than that once the city is broken, Shura City will not accept anyone's surrender, that is, on the day the city is broken, the defenders of Fancheng will be completely slaughtered. And most importantly, it implies the possibility of a city massacre.
On the second surface, it seems that Fan Yong has just changed his master, he is still the lord of Fancheng, and he has no losses. But once he announced his position, it would be up to him, after all, he had already offended the empire at that time, and he could only be slaughtered by Leng Qiu.
As for the third one, hehe, don't even think about it, neutral, do you think the royal family and Leng Qiu will give him a chance to be neutral?
"Then I don't know which one the city lord chooses?" Rong Zhen looked at Rong Zhen with a smile.
"As a soldier, you should fight to the death. But in this way, the number of casualties is too heavy. Fan Yong sighed, "Do I still have a choice?"
Besides, the city lord used to be the old department of the Qin clan, and now he is still the general of the Qin clan, and this has not changed in any way, so how can he say that he is a traitor?" "It's just that the royal family is aggressive, which causes the Qin family to be wronged and almost wiped out. I'm just helpless to wait for the army to resist!"
Yes, the steps are given, and it is Fan Yong's business if he can't go down.
"You said you were planning to return to Shura City before you went back, is that true?" asked Fan Yong. "Is it because of that battle with Shura City?"
Rong Zhen shook his head, "No." Before that, I had already surrendered. That battle was just a show!"
Fan Yong asked again: "Do you think the Qin clan still has the strength to fight against the royal family now?"
"It's not the Qin clan who is fighting against the royal family! Our leader has someone else! As for who it is, you will know sooner or later. Rong Zhen said.
Fan Yong felt that things were getting more and more difficult, and if he dared to confront the royal family, could it be that he was a person from other empires? In this way, it was not just as simple as treason, it was simply a stench for 10,000 years!
"Report!" a soldier hurried in.
Fan Yong immediately reprimanded angrily: "Who let you in? Didn't you see that I was entertaining guests?"
The soldier froze in place, a little at a loss.
"If there is anything, just say it quickly!" Fan Yong knew that if there was nothing very urgent, it would be absolutely impossible for the soldiers to trespass in here without notification.
The soldier looked at Rong Zhen and the others, and immediately whispered something in Fan Yong's ear.
Fan Yong's expression was indescribably strange.
"Alright. I know. You go down first!"
The soldier slipped down, for fear that Fan Yong would settle the previous account with him.
"I didn't expect you to really come out of the Imperial City
Target. Not only that, but you even killed the second prince. Fan Yong no longer knew what expression to make to describe the shock in his heart.
Rong Zhen sighed: "Alas, I don't want to either." It's just that the second prince is too aggressive, and it is really helpless for me to kill him..."
Fan Yong naturally knew that what Rong Zhen said was true, after all, the soldiers had made the cause and effect clear just now.
"How about it, please tell me your decision!" Guishun said this, and Rong Zhen could be completely relieved if he heard Fan Yong say it with his own ears.
"I am willing to submit, but one thing I must declare is that I am submitting to the Qin clan, not to someone else in your mouth!" Only in this way did Fan Yong's heart not have so much resistance.
Rong Zhen smiled slightly: "It's okay! The boss has always believed in equality and democracy, and he doesn't care about these!"
"Those two are here now, wait a while, I'll go out and make arrangements!"
Surrender or surrender is not just talking, Fan Yong is preparing to tell the world... Well, it is to announce the submission of the Qin clan to the outside world.
didn't let Rong Zhen wait long, Fan Yong came back soon.
"It's arranged. Soon, the entire Falling Moon Empire will know that Fancheng has been reincorporated into the territory of the Qin clan. Fan Yong still looked a little reluctant.
Rong Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Soon you will know how smart your current choice is." The boss is not going to let anyone down. ”
Fan Yong suddenly looked up at Rong Zhen and said seriously: "Take me to meet him!"
Rong Zhen restrained the smile on his face, lowered his head slightly, rolled his eyes a few times, and said, "Okay." ”
............
Early the next morning, Rong Zhen and Nangong Xue took Fan Yong to Shura City.
"Boss, we're back!" Rong Zhen pushed open the door of the conference room, and was instantly stunned in embarrassment, there were three middle-aged men in the conference room who had never seen him.
Leng Qiu frowned, and just wanted to be angry, but when he saw that it was Rong Zhen and the others, he endured it, "It's right to come back so soon?" Let's sit down together! Let me introduce you, this is Duan Heng, the city lord of Xucheng, this is the city lord of Fengcheng, Dong Wen, this is the city lord of Yangcheng, Shenlong!"
Immediately afterwards, Leng Qiu introduced Rong Zhen and Nangong Xue to the three city lords, "This is the famous and victorious general Rong Zhen in the past, this is my sister, Nangong Xue." This..."
Leng Qiu paused, then smiled again: "This must be the Fan Yong City Lord of Fancheng, right?"
When Leng Qiu looked at Fan Yong, Fan Yong was also looking at him, was he the driving force behind all this?
Rong Zhen and the three city lords nodded to each other, and in response, they found a place to sit down.
"It's just right, it's rare that it's all here today. I won't go into any more nonsense, but that's right, in order to strengthen our familiarity with each other, I suggest that we should draw out a part of our forces in each city and form another army together.
What do you think about this?" Leng Qiu glanced at everyone present with a smile.
The three city lords were silent for a while, and Duan Heng was the first to speak, "This proposal is good. I agree, it's just that the matter of our separation from the Falling Moon Empire has already spread throughout the Falling Moon Empire at this moment, and the empire's army will not allow us to grow, so the number of troops we can balance out is very small. ”
Dong Wen and Shen Long also nodded in agreement, "What City Lord Duan said is right. We are not enough to protect ourselves, and we are afraid that we are powerless to make suggestions from adults. ”
Leng Qiu knew that this was not the three of them shirking, what they said was the truth.
Indeed, the number of troops is a big problem, and conscription must not be compulsory.
Leng Qiu asked, "Then what can you do to solve this problem of the source of soldiers?"
Leng Qiu felt that this matter must be solved first, otherwise, self-protection would not be enough, and what would he use to fight against the royal family?
"It's not impossible. Duan Heng looked at Leng Qiu and said, "In the past ten years, everything the royal family has done has lost the peace of heaven and the people's hearts. Many people began to gather to make trouble, and finally they were suppressed and sent to the frontier. But the vast majority of them are in hiding. Hiding in a mountain range called Tiandang Mountain, he looks like a rogue coward. If adults can recruit them, it would be a good idea. ”
"Tiandang Mountain?" Leng Qiu asked again: "How far is Tiandang Mountain from here?"
Duan Heng replied: "Tiandang Mountain is located at the junction of the Falling Moon Empire and the Flying Star Empire, so the army of the Falling Moon Empire does not dare to go too deep, for fear of provoking incidents between the two countries. ”
Yes, needless to say, Leng Qiu also knows, this must be 108,000 miles away, I went so far away to solicit a fart!
Rong Zhen knows about Tiandang Mountain, but because it's too far away, knowing is no different from not knowing...
Seeing Leng Qiu's expression, Duan Heng hurriedly said, "My lord, I'm afraid I misunderstood what I meant." I mean, every place has its epitome. Just like Xucheng, there is a valley located a hundred miles northeast of Xucheng, and no less than 300,000 people gather in it. Most of them were the old members of the Qin clan, and even now they are plotting to avenge the Qin clan. We also think of the kindness of the Qin clan in the past, and turn a blind eye to this, otherwise, they would not be able to survive until now. ”
Leng Qiu asked again, "Then in the name of the Qin clan, what are the chances of subduing them?"
Duan Heng shook his head again and again and said, "They are just a group of rogues under the slogan of reviving the Qin clan. ”
Duan Heng paused and said, "They often harass some surrounding cities, especially my Xu City, which is even more annoying. To tell you the truth, I have a plan to unite with the surrounding cities to destroy it. ”
"That's it!" Leng Qiu touched his chin, thought for a while, and then said: "You can try to subdue them, if it really doesn't work, then you can only completely break them up, after all, keeping them is also a scourge." ”
