Chapter 918: The Messenger (2)

Zhou Bin, the king of martial arts, said that he would be slaughtered if he did not surrender after ten days, but it did not mean that he would do nothing within ten days.

When Li Wenbo returned, the warships of the Fujiao army covered the sky and the sun and sailed towards Jiaoshan, which was more than 60 miles north of Linfeng Harbor.

There is a city at the southern foot of Jiao Mountain, Li Xu Fangyuan, the city lord Xu Jin, who has been cultivating for fifty years in Mulei Mountain, and has been able to build a city at the southern foot of Jiao Mountain, although it is only a small clan attached to the Li family, but it is also a well-dressed clan, with six or seven hundred elites under his hands, seeing the soldiers and horses of the nine counties like tigers and wolves landing on the shore, he does not dare to fight, nor does he dare to surrender, and he does not see the reinforcements out of the harbor, standing at the head of the city and only thinking about the city being broken and captured, it can be regarded as an explanation.

However, there was a golden pillar of thunder that blew half of the city, scorched Xu Jin and a dozen people, and Jiaoshan City was broken.

The Xuanlei Ship was once a holy boat admired by all the people on Silu Island, but at this time it became a violent soldier of the enemy's abuse, and the tiger and wolf soldiers slaughtered into the city, and searched for one hundred and twenty-six people of Xu Jin's relatives, both old and young, men and women, all beheaded, and sent their heads to Linfeng Harbor.

In the next few days, the 800,000 royal city forbidden camp troops of the nine counties landed from Jiaoshan, and 400,000 elites approached Linfeng Harbor City, and set up a large array in 30 miles, dug ditches, and built fortresses......

Linfeng Port is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Qichuan River, as the most fertile area of Silu Island, although it covers an area of only one-tenth of Silu Island, but it inhabits nearly a quarter of the ordinary people of Silu Island, which also makes the cities on both sides of the Qichuan River numerous, not only Linfeng Port City.

If Lei Yangzi was not captured alive, there would still be a monolith in Silu Island, and Chen Hai would not dare to instigate the martial spirit king Zhou Bin to use troops so boldly, but at this time, there was chaos in Silu Island, and although the Linfeng Harbor was difficult to bite, the martial spirit king Zhou Bin did not hesitate to divide the other 400,000 royal city forbidden camp troops into several shares to sweep the outer cities.

If the defenders hesitate to defend these cities, those who break the city will behead their clans, and then send their heads, large and small, to the harbor.

When the ten-day deadline was approaching, although Linfeng Harbor was still impregnable, there were 111 large and small walled cities on the periphery that were ruthlessly destroyed by the soldiers of the nine counties; 80 of them chose to surrender unconditionally and wait for disposal, and 9 walled cities chose to close the city and defend it, but none of the walled cities could hold on to the front of the soldiers of the nine counties for an hour, and they were ruthlessly broken, and the defenders of the 21 walled cities abandoned the city and fled, but they were all ruthlessly defeated in the middle, and the guards and their relatives were also beheaded and sent to Linfeng Harbor......

At this time, the generals who were trapped in Linfeng Harbor could be regarded as completely understanding, and what King Wuling said about delaying the slaughter of 10,000 people a day was talking about their relatives above the rank of captain.

Yes, there are more than 40 million ordinary people in the middle and lower reaches of the Qichuan River, and even if the soldiers of the nine counties are not tired of killing and the knife is not broken, they will have to kill for more than ten years before they can slaughter more than 40 million ordinary people.

In order to prevent the Nine Counties from launching a surprise attack, all the defense and guardian arrays are surrounded by array mages waiting at any time, and there are also dense clusters of armor soldiers on the city walls.

The vast majority of them have not experienced the war of the Xiao rebellion and being wiped out, and they don't know that the soldiers and horses of the Nine Counties have improved their combat power by leaps and bounds compared to the past, and they don't know that the heavy crossbow and the heavenly machine chariot are more than the spirit swords in the hands of those Xuan Xiu. The magic weapon is more deadly, so their morale is still good, and they are still looking forward to Lei Yangzi, who is regarded by hundreds of millions of people as the Holy Ancestor of Silu Island, one day he will be able to personally bathe the Xuanfa high cultivation in the Thunder Mountain, and come over to sweep away the thieves who invaded the territory.

However, at this time, the person who was qualified to sit in the Fenglingang Town Guard Mansion had a gray face, and his eyes were full of resentment, unwillingness, struggle, fear, and many other expressions.

In the council hall, several jewels inlaid on the beams illuminate the entire hall as if it were day.

Under Lei Yangzi, Li Xuanshan, one of the six town guards who really controlled the military power, sat behind the long case, even if there was a faint thunder in his eyes at this time, he couldn't hide the tiredness in his heart.

After a long time, Li Xuanshan said in a hoarse voice: "In three hours, it will be the deadline given by the thieves, whether to fight or surrender, I believe you should have a decision in your hearts, right?"

Before sending Li Wenbo to Chishan Island to see Zhou Wanqing, the fairy of Shuyu, and Zhou Bin, the king of martial arts, it was because under the current bad situation, he didn't want the children of the clan to die needlessly, and he intended to belong to him, but who would have thought that the Nine Counties Kingdom would ask all the sect lords to give up half of the elite children of the Spirit Clearing Realm and the Mingqi Realm and send them to the Demon Deer Ridge Demon Battlefield?

Judging from the long enough history of the human race, the change of dynasties and the rise and fall of the sect are common things, Lei Yangzi was captured, whether it is life or death, it is difficult for the Lei Yang Sect to recover the dismal ending of falling apart, such a history Before the rise of the Lei Yang Sect, Silu Island does not know how many times it has been repeated, so it is not so difficult to accept that the Jade Palace and the Zhou clan will replace the Lei Yang Sect as the new ruler of Silu Island.

The key is that everyone wants to keep their own interests as much as possible, even if they know that under the fierce soldiers of the Nine Counties, they will inevitably give up some of their interests, but they never expect to give up so much.

This is only the first step, and no one is sure that the Zhou people will not have more and more demanding demands in the future.

Even this is where everyone's biggest concern lies.

After the Zhou clan returned to the country, they first wiped out the Xiao clan, and said that it was an open net to the other subordinate clans, but in the following years, it was purged as usual, and a large number of elite children were incorporated into the Beiling Town Soldiers and sent to the battlefield of the demon.

In the first battle of Xinyancheng, the high-end combat power above the Mingqiao realm in Beiling Town killed nearly 200 people, ninety percent of whom were from the Jiujun Kingdom who attached themselves to the Xiao clan and were severely punished by the Zhou clan afterwards.

Although the Demon Deer Ridge was eleven or twelve miles away from the Fusang Sea, it was impossible for the high-level leaders of the Lei Yang Sect not to pay attention to such important news.

It's just that the ten-day period is about to pass, and the reinforcements from Nanjiang, Qianlong and other military towns as well as Mulei Mountain have no sign of dispatching, and the Jiujun State has 200,000 elites at this time, detouring from the land to the upper reaches of the Qichuan River, occupying Jinzhangling, and sealing the passage of reinforcements down the river.

After Li Xuanshan's words fell, no one answered for a long time, and some people were even worried that if they said something that should not be said at this time, after the city was broken, their relatives would be the first to be slaughtered.

"If we surrender without a fight, we will never get the slightest respect from the enemy, do we surrender now, one day, the Zhou people will not raise the butcher's knife against us?

This man's words are not something that can be agreed, but no one refutes him.

Everyone also knew very well in their hearts that even if they accepted the conditions and chose to surrender, all the clans of Silu Island would have to unite, and the chance of the Zhou clan not being divided would make the Zhou clan jealous, and the possibility of them being purged in the future would be reduced.

The atmosphere in the hall was gloomy, no one said anything for a long time, Li Xuanshan sat behind the long case, his heart was anxious, but his heart was also in a mess, he didn't know how to choose, and what kind of attitude could he force others to express?

At this time, everyone sensed that there was a bright and obscure breath like the moon, and they flew across the sea from the direction of Chishan Island, and they all looked at each other, not knowing what kind of demon moth Zhou was going to do, and guessing that maybe the time limit was approaching, Zhou couldn't help but send a messenger to urge, and Li Xuanshan wanted to send Li Wenbo out to deal with it.

Whether it is a battle or surrender, before a decision is made, he doesn't want the envoys sent by the Zhou clan to spy on the reality on their side, and he doesn't want anyone present to have the opportunity to secretly communicate with the Zhou clan.

"Choose the virtuous nephew of the mountain, can I Liu Zhenghua go into the city for a while?" At this time, Liu Zhenghua's loud voice came directly from hundreds of miles away.

Liu Zhenghua of Kuhai City came to Linfeng Harbor in person?

Li Xuanshan walked out of the main hall, at this time the moon was in the sky, although it was more than a hundred miles apart, but for the strong people of their level, they could also see clearly that it was Liu Zhenghua who was alone, stepping on the sword and crossing the estuary of the Qichuan River into the sea, waiting for the opening of the defense array here.

No matter what Liu Zhenghua's intentions were and what his intentions were, but he dared to enter the city alone, Li Xuanshan categorically had no reason to refuse, and ordered to open the defense array and let Liu Zhenghua in.

Liu Zhenghua is the true monarch of heaven, Li Xuanshan did not dare to carelessly invite him into the main hall to speak, so he met Liu Zhenghua in the front yard of the most heavily defended general's mansion.

"......" Seeing that Li Xuanshan and others were facing a great enemy, Liu Zhenghua was also bitter in his heart, but he didn't expect that he had failed to persuade the Zhou clan to quit more than a month ago, and at this time, he had to run over to persuade the remnants of Lei Yangzong to surrender.

Of course, Liu Zhenghua was invited by Zhou Wanqing.

Chen Hai didn't want to kill Silu Island with a river of blood, and consume Fusanghai's demonic power for no reason, but he needed to immediately transfer a large amount of manpower and material resources from Silu Island to the Demon Deer Ridge to participate in the battle, and the long-term hostile relationship between the Zhou clan and the Lei Yang Sect had no way to make the clan of Silu Island really let down their guard, so Chen Hai asked Zhou Wanqing to send someone to see Liu Zhenghua.

They will give all the clans that surrendered on Silu Island a choice, that is, after handing over half of the disciples of the Spirit Clearing Realm, the Enlightenment Realm and the corresponding armor and equipment, if they are worried that they will be purged, they can choose to move to Yetuo Island and take refuge in Kukai City.

The disciples of Kuhai City were naturally worried that this was a trap of the Zhou family, and resolutely dissuaded Liu Zhenghua from crossing the sea, but Liu Zhenghua also thought about it again and again, and finally decided to come over and run this trip in person.

Liu Zhenghua also knew in his heart that he only had less than two hundred years of life, and among the many disciples of Kuhai City, although there were more than 30 Dao Fetal Realm powerhouses, none of them had the hope of stepping into the Heavenly Realm, and his heirs did not even have a single cultivator of the Dao Fetus - the rise of the Zhou clan in Fusang Sea was already unstoppable, if the Zhou clan's ambition for Kuhai City did not even have the patience for the last two hundred years, and would rather bear the infamy of treachery and detain him Liu Zhenghua, he could only admit it.

And in the future, if the demon calamity is unstoppable, it will inevitably affect the Fusang Sea, and a unified Fusang Sea will not necessarily be bad.

Therefore, Liu Zhenghua decided to cross the sea and enter Linfeng Harbor alone to persuade Li Xuanshan to surrender.
