Chapter 7: Why don't we make a bet

After the capture of Jiangcheng, the remnants of Jiangcheng were all absorbed.

But there are still fish that have escaped through the East City Gate.

Jiangcheng originally belonged to the territory of the Great Zhou, but it was captured by the Liuyun Kingdom three years ago, and since then the people here have suffered the most severe oppression and enslavement.

The annual tax paid has doubled since the time of the Great Zhou.

The people's grievances are deep.

The people are also miserable and helpless.

Now that Da Zhou has regained control of Jiangcheng, the streets and alleys have been running to tell each other for a while, and the people are in tears!

And I heard that the Great Zhou Emperor personally conquered,

The people flocked to the Jiangcheng City Lord's Mansion one after another to bow down and bow.

"Long live the emperor!!"

Zhou Xiao stood on top of the pavilion of the City Lord's Mansion, overlooking the black pressure below, and the people kowtowed to him.

A heroic feeling of pointing the country arises spontaneously.

"The people of the Great Zhou, the people of me!" Zhou Xiao was dressed in a dragon robe, and his bearing was majestic, "From now on, the people of Fanjiang City will be exempt from tax for one year!

Zhou Xiao's voice fell, and the whole city cheered.

"The Emperor Shengming!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

All the people worshipped.

Exemption from taxes for one year is nothing for officials and businessmen, but for poor people, it is the process from not having enough to eat to being full, which is related to people's livelihood and is extremely important.

Zhou Xiao before crossing was also a low-level person.

He knows very well what the people at the bottom really need and care about......

Let's say that the 100,000 troops of Liuyun Country came mightily under the leadership of Guo Nu.

Although he was in a hurry, he was still some distance away from Jiangcheng.

Guo Nu planned to take a short rest after arriving in Jiangcheng, and then hurried to Luyang City overnight, catching Da Zhou off guard.

However, at this moment,

An iron horse galloped in.

Judging from its armor and equipment, it is the defenders of Jiangcheng.

The soldier's left arm on horseback had been blown off, and blood was pouring out.

Guo Nu suddenly raised his hand and motioned for the army behind him to stop.

After that, the defenders of Jiangcheng turned over and dismounted, and knelt in front of Guo Nu with a bang.

Seeing this, Guo Nu knew something was wrong, and asked, "What happened? Why did you rush here?"

The soldier said, "General Guo, Jiangcheng, it's fallen!"

"Fall?" Guo angrily exclaimed.

"The Great Zhou Emperor personally conquered, and they have a powerful holy weapon. That kind of holy weapon can kill on a large scale, and it is incredibly powerful...... The Great Zhou army approached the city, and the hundred sacred weapons were aimed at Jiangcheng, and Jiangcheng was captured in less than a quarter of an hour!

"It's terrifying!" the soldier still recalled, still feeling palpitations.

Guo Nu grabbed a few key words.

Hallows.

Fall in less than a quarter of an hour!

Throughout the history of warfare, unless there is a supreme master who comes forward to take charge, and it is a unilateral crush, there is no record of such a rapid capture of the city.

A quarter of an hour,

What an exaggeration!

And there were zero casualties......

Guo Nu suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

"What kind of artifact is it?" asked Guo Nu.

"Like a chariot. The soldier briefly described, "General Guo, retreat...... Under that holy weapon, the army of 100,000 was not vulnerable at all. ”

Guo Nu snorted coldly and said, "Withdraw the army, how can I be afraid of a fluctuating Great Zhou in Liuyun Country? I want to learn and comprehend this holy weapon!"

"General......" The soldier still wanted to dissuade him.

Guo Nu was already quite impatient, and said, "Okay!"

Then he ordered the soldier to be dressed for his wounds.

Guo Nu's army continued to advance.

It's just that he sent an exploratory army to Jiangcheng to investigate the situation.

As the news of the army came back, Guo Nu's heart became more and more solemn, because the news was gradually verifying that what the soldier said was true......

......

River City.

Zhou Xiao briefly understood Guo Nu's situation.

"Half-step true martial arts powerhouse?" Zhou Xiao said while playing with the jade lion in the city lord's mansion, "I didn't expect that there were such masters in the entire Liuyun Country. ”

Yang Hu said: "It is precisely because of Guo Nu that Liuyun Kingdom has gradually prospered over the years. It can be said that Guo Nu alone is half of the country of Liuyun. ”

"Otherwise, with the national strength of the Liuyun Country, it would have been annexed by other great powers long ago. ”

"What is the character of this person?" Zhou Xiao secretly thought in his heart.

"Guo Nu is loyal, brave, and does righteous things, and is a character. Yang Hu has a high opinion of Guo Nu.

"How about taking him under your command?" Zhou Xiao asked again.

"I'm afraid it's hard to tame. Yang Hu said respectfully.

Zhou Xiao weighed it in his heart.

At this time, Da Zhou is weak, and it is the time to employ people. Although Zhao Zilong is brave. But Zhao Zilong alone is not enough.

It's uncertain when the check-in system will be able to award summon cards again.

A half-step true martial arts master like Guo Nu can be wooed, so he naturally wants to woo him.

Although Guo Nu's character is the kind that is difficult to tame and take under his command, it is not without opportunities to use the means.

Next, Zhou Xiao inquired about Guo Nu's details in more detail, and already had an idea in his heart......

It was getting dark.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report, "Meet the emperor, two generals!"

Say. Zhou Xiao said majestically.

The soldier said: "The 100,000 troops of the Liuyun Kingdom have come to the city and surrounded us. ”

Zhou Xiao smiled faintly when he heard this, Guo Nu's arrival time was about the same as he had calculated.

"Go check it out. Zhou Xiao got up, waved his dragon robe, and strode out of the City Lord's Mansion with his head held high.

Behind him, Zhao Zilong and Yang Hu followed.

Ascend to the gates,

Suddenly, he saw an army of 100,000 waiting for him.

At the front of the army, a man rode a war horse and hung a sword at his waist.

The contours of his face are like a knife, and at first glance he looks like a man who has experienced a hundred battles.

The description of the bearing is very comparable.

"I have heard for a long time that General Guo is brave and good at fighting, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation. Zhou Xiao stared down on the city wall.

The golden ancient dragon robe shimmered in the moonlight.

A strand of dragon qi emanated from the ancient dragon robe, and his bearing was majestic.

Guo Nu raised his eyes and stared at Zhou Xiao.

I couldn't help but be shocked.

He didn't expect that this little emperor, who had just ascended the throne, would have such a majestic bearing, just like the emperors of the previous dynasties when the Great Zhou Dynasty was prosperous......

Guo Nu was about to open his mouth to respond, but he heard Zhou smile again: "I admire General Guo quite a lot, but it's a pity that I am a little stupid and loyal." ”

"Guo Mou, as a minister, loyalty is the basic, for his master, how can he be foolish and loyal?" Guo said angrily.

"The emperor of Liuyun Kingdom is greedy and cruel, your loyalty is to help the abuse!" Zhou Xiao stood with his hands in his hands, "Guo Nu, good birds choose trees to perch on, and submit to my Great Zhou, your loyalty is meaningful!"

As soon as Zhou Xiao's words came out, the audience was silent.

ZHOU Xiao,

is actually wooing Guo Nu!

Zhou Xiao's words actually spoke to Guo Nu's heart.

Over the years, Guo Nu has fought everywhere for the Liuyun Kingdom, and with the increase in military power in his hands, the emperor of the Liuyun Kingdom has the intention of suppressing him.

He also felt the vigilance and deliberate alienation of the Emperor of Liuyun Kingdom many times.

And over the years, the emperor of Liuyun Country has been addicted to beauty and greedy, this is no longer the Liuyun Country it once was......

"Loyalty, no matter whether it is good or bad!" Guo Nu pulled out his long sword and said in a loud voice: "For Liuyun, fight to the death!"

"Now Jiangcheng has been surrounded by 100,000! Who will be submissive to whom, it is not certain!"

Guo Fu's fighting spirit burned.

Zhou Xiao smiled indifferently and said calmly: "Do you believe it or not, I can defeat your 100,000 army with only a hundred soldiers?"

"One hundred defeats a hundred thousand troops?" Guo Nu suddenly laughed, "It's just a fool's dream!"

"One hundred soldiers, one of my 100,000 troops can drown them with a mouthful of saliva!"

Guo Nu suddenly looked down on Zhou Xiao a little,

Is this Great Zhou Emperor so rash?

Sure enough, it's still too young!

Zhou Xiao was not angry, but said, "Why don't we make a bet?"

"I have won a hundred thousand of your army, and you will submit to me. Zhou Xiao looked at Guo Nu, "If I lose, you can take my head, and you can take the territory of the Great Zhou!"

Zhou Xiao is going to use Bing Bean.

I haven't been able to get a chance to try it out, but now is the right time.

The soldiers of Liuyun Country couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

This Great Zhou Emperor is a fool, right?

A hundred soldiers against a hundred thousand troops, that is, an egg against a stone, the result is obvious.

Even gambling on his life and territory, such an IQ can also be an emperor?

Guo Nu snorted, he knew that Zhou Xiao was not as simple as it seemed.

But he became more and more curious about how Zhou Xiao would use a hundred soldiers to defeat his 100,000 army, and after a little thought, he agreed, "Okay! Since you bet on Da Zhou, Guo will play a game with you!"
