Chapter 39: The Great Victory Ends
The situation on the battlefield is already obvious, after this period of fighting, the 50,000 Shu army has already occupied a clear advantage in terms of momentum and numbers, and under the attack of Gao Yanshou and others, the Wuping army was surrounded into several pieces.

Their morale was already very low, and now with so many deserters, the strength was already insufficient, after a series of killings by Han Yao and others, where was there any combat power, but in an hour or so, there were countless casualties.
And in the distance, because of the attack of Gao Yanshou and Zhao Li and others, Zhou Xingfeng had no choice but to send all the troops in his hands to the two wings, at this time, there were only hundreds of guards around him, and under the attack of Han Yao and others, the guards had already killed and injured a lot.
"God won't help me, help Meng Xuanjue, ah." Zhou Xingfeng was already at the end of his rope at this moment, seeing this situation, blood spurted wildly in his mouth, his face was like ashes, his heart was depressed, and his eyes were full of despair.
The spear in his hand had already fallen to the ground, and he suddenly pulled out the long knife at his waist and wiped it towards his neck.
But at this moment, it was no longer the time for him to control his life and death, suddenly a chill came from behind him, and suddenly Zhou Xingfeng felt a pain in his back, and saw a spear appear in his chest, which had already penetrated his chest, and when he looked back, it was Han Yao, who couldn't help but sigh deeply and fell to the ground and died.
"Zhou Xingfeng is dead, Zhou Xingfeng is dead." In an instant, on the battlefield, there was a burst of cheers, and it spread throughout the entire battlefield in an instant, Meng Xuanjue and others in the distance heard it clearly, Meng Xuanjue couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
Now that Zhou Xingfeng is dead, this shows that the most elite strength of the Wuping Army has completely disappeared, and as for the garrisons left in Jingxiang and other places, there is no combat power to speak of.
"Oh, oh, oh." On the battlefield, Han Yao and the others held their spears high and roared in the sky.
At this time, a group of black cavalry rushed in the distance, and behind them, there was a large group of soldiers escorting a golden-armored general to come slowly, and behind him, was the royal banner of Shu, and it was Meng Xuanjue who came.
"The last general will see the Grand Governor." Han Yao saw Meng Xuanjue coming, and dismounted and saluted.
"Get up, Zhou Xingfeng is also a hero, let's bury it." After speaking, Meng Xuanjue walked to the heights, faced tens of thousands of troops, and said loudly: "Soldiers, we have won, you are all heroes of the Shu Kingdom, today, this palace is drunk with you." ”
"Long live the Shu Kingdom, long live the Grand Governor."
"Long live the Shu Kingdom, long live the Grand Governor."
The soldiers of the whole army shouted in unison, Gao Yanshou and others smiled bitterly, although Meng Xuanjue is now above 10,000 people, but he is not the emperor yet, the word long live is taboo, but no one cares about these at the moment, the soldiers here have almost fanatical worship of him, and I am afraid they don't care if this is taboo or not.
Three days later, Meng Xuanjue came to Wanzhou.
"The Governor of the Metropolis has arrived, and the city gates are opened." The guards were under the city of Wanzhou, roaring, raising their heads and shouting loudly.
"Open the gates." Yang Ye shouted loudly: "Generals, lords, go with the general to greet the Grand Governor." As he spoke, he took the lead, and behind him was the Wanzhou garrison moraine, and Luo Huan and others also followed, and they all went down the city wall to meet Meng Xuanjue.
"The last general, Yang Ye, led the civil and military forces of Wanzhou to welcome the governor." Yang Ye led everyone to kneel under the city gate, but it was the king's courtesy, although Gao Yanshou and others felt inappropriate and did not conform to the etiquette system, but at this time they did not object to anything, and the people who followed Yang Ye also knelt down, and in an instant the crowd was full of people outside the city gate.
"Haha, Yang Ye, General Shi, Lord Luo, and all of you get up." Meng Xuanjue jumped off the horse, helped Yang Ye up, and said with a smile: "Wanzhou is thanks to you, this palace is here for the people of Shu and the people of Wanzhou, thank you." ”
"It is a duty to serve the governor." Yang Ye showed a humble look on his face, stepped forward a few more steps, and said in a low voice: "Just now, Yang Shifan sent a letter of surrender, and asked the metropolitan governor to deal with it." ”
"Oh." Meng Xuanjue's face was shocked, revealing a hint of joy, "Let's go, it's not appropriate to talk here, enter the yamen, first send someone to set up a banquet, prepare a reward, I want to reward you for your deeds." ”
"The Last General's Order." Yang Ye nodded.
But when Meng Xuanjue approached Wanzhou City, it was dilapidated, the houses near the city gate had been demolished, their walls and door panels were used to make rolling stones and shields, and the people in the city were wearing tattered clothes, and their faces were full of dirt, so they also came here to kneel to greet him.
Meng Xuanjue looked at everything in front of him, his heart was very sad, he walked among the people, knelt down, and said loudly: "The invasion of foreign enemies and the suffering of the people are all the fault of this palace, let you suffer, please accept my three worships." ”
After speaking, Meng Xuanjue bowed three times heavily, and all the generals and officials, seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today were all kneeling, they also knelt down, and when they heard Meng Xuanjue's words, their eyes were red.
"This palace is here to promise that Lone will give you new clothes and build a new house." After speaking, Meng Xuanjue stepped forward and helped an old man in front of him.
How could this old man have seen such a scene, and said excitedly: "There has never been only the people kneeling officials, and no officials kneeling to the people, but today, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually knelt down to us, I, the little old man has nothing to say, as long as I follow His Royal Highness the Prince, then our Shu Kingdom will definitely be strong, long live His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Meng Xuanjue couldn't help but think that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, this is an eternal truth, he comes from later generations, and he knows deeply that as long as you are good to the people, then the people will hand over their names to you.
And he just said a few words and kowtowed a few heads, not only won the hearts of the people, but also won the hearts of the military, and he could make his authority reach the peak.
Early the next morning, the sky was bright, the morning sun rose slowly, shining on the entire Wanzhou City, and outside Wanzhou City, the 50,000 army led by Yang Shifan stood under the city, under the banner of the word "Yang", Yang Shifan was alone in front of the army.
After a while, Yang Shifan slowly moved forward, only to see him holding a sword, a seal letter and other things, came to the gate of the city and knelt down, and shouted loudly: "Defeated general, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have mercy." ”
Meng Xuanjue stepped forward and said lightly, "Get up." ”
Then the guards stepped forward to take his sword and the seal, Yang Shifan was still kneeling there, Meng Xuanjue stepped forward, helped Yang Shifan up, and then took his saber from the guard's hand and handed it to him.
Yang Shifan was stunned, not understanding what Meng Xuanjue was going to do, but Meng Xuanjue motioned for him to take it, and he took it.
Meng Xuanjue walked before the surrender of the troops, and said loudly: "Feng Yang Shifan is the chief soldier of Jiangling Mansion, commanding the headquarters, and going to Jingxiang." ”
Meng Xuanjue's meaning is very simple, that is, there is no need to suspect people, and there is no doubt about employing people, since he accepted his surrender, then trust him, and what he doesn't know, his words, let this general follow him loyally and fight the world.
