Tang Zhengquan died, and he was originally holding on to his breath to block Tianze's flood peak for Chen Haotian.

When the news of Chen Haotian's defeat reached the siege, Tang Zhengquan cried and died that night.

The king was defeated, the commander died, and there was no main backbone in the siege, and the generals who had already secretly surrendered to the enemy took the opportunity to attack.

On the second day, the siege was broken, and tens of millions of troops surrendered in Chenhaotian.

At this point, the northern states were completely encircled by the north and the south, and the remaining state capitals were no longer in danger to defend.

The envoys from the northern states rushed to the besieged city like a swarm to ask for surrender.

When he learned that Mu Jinyun was in the old capital, he rushed to the old capital again, stood at the door of the Tianwei camp, and respectfully asked to see the king of Tianze.

How to deal with these old foxes in the northern states is indeed a headache.

These days, Mu Jinyun and Xiao Xiangyi, as well as the ministers, have repeatedly discussed countermeasures.

In the end, it was decided to adopt Xiao Xiangyi's opinion to deal with this matter.

Xiao Xiangyi believes that this side now has absolute strength, and the northern states have their own selfish intentions, and it is impossible to unite into a whole and fight against Mu Jinyun together.

It's very simple.

If Chen Haotian and Mu Jinyun are defeated, they will both lose and the net will be broken.

Then, no matter who wins or loses, those old foxes have the confidence and capital to negotiate with them.

It may even unite and form a coalition to fight against the king's command.

But now the situation is different, Mu Jinyun used a surprise attack strategy, and only paid a very small price, and killed Chen Haotian.

The main force of Tianze Kingdom has almost no losses, and its morale is greatly boosted, and the military momentum is strong.

At this time, if you still choose to confront Mu Jinyun head-on, it is obviously irrational.

Another point, the loss of Tianrui's main force is not large, and he has already surrendered to King Tianze.

After Mu Jinyun incorporated the main force of Tianrui, his troops were strong and strong, and his combat power was high, and the northern states had a smooth road, and there was no natural danger to rely on.

Under such conditions, let those old foxes have any confidence to fight against Mu Jinyun's army.

Of course, one of the most important factors must also be taken into account.

This factor is the intervention of Tianwei Kingdom.

Tianwei Kingdom is obviously Mu Jinyun's helper, and at this moment, the army is stationed near the capital of Tianrui Wang, and its military peak is directed at the hinterland of the northern states.

As long as those old foxes dare not surrender, it is foreseeable that Tianze Kingdom will attack from the south, Tianwei Kingdom will attack from the north, and under the attack of the north and the south, how long can they hold out?

In this case, how could those old foxes work together to fight against Wang Shi.

It must be each with its own abacus, each with its own little ninety-nine.

It is conceivable that as long as this side is both endeavoured and pulled, even if the northern states build an alliance, they are not destined to be monolithic, and it is only a matter of time before they collapse and disintegrate.

Therefore, for the northern states, there is no need to adopt any softer policies, and there are only two paths in front of them.

The first is to accept surrender unconditionally, and all armies must accept reorganization.

The second is to continue to resist stubbornly and eventually bring about self-destruction.

The difference between the two is that by choosing the first path, Mu Jinyun can make a guarantee that they will only seize military power, not official positions, and they can continue to be their feudal officials.

If they don't know the current affairs and choose the second path, the only way awaits them is to exterminate the race.

Mu Jinyun received the messengers and told them of his decision.

After they leave the camp, they should explain it to their master as soon as possible.

And clearly tell them that their patience is limited, whether it is war or surrender, and let their masters think it through themselves.

He only gave the other party three days.

After three days, if you don't make a statement, you will be regarded as a stubborn resistance and refuse to surrender, and at that time, you will bear all the consequences.

The messengers bowed down to receive the order, and left the camp with promise.

After going out, they all took out the communication jade plate and passed the news to their master as soon as possible.

Those who can be sent as messengers are all old and sophisticated slippery heads.

After the news was delivered, no one left, and they stayed outside the Tianwei camp, waiting for further instructions from their side.

These people know in their hearts that if they decide not to descend, it will be too late to leave.

After all, Mu Jinyun is the king of a country, and he will not do the ugly thing of tearing up the book and cutting the envoy.

If you accept Mu Jinyun's conditions, then don't run back and forth, and it will be over if you go in and kowtow.

After all, there are only three days, and you must not waste time on the road, in case you delay a big event, it will be a big mistake.

On the same day, two envoys visited Mu Jinyun again.

Soon after entering, he walked out with a relaxed face, greeted the others politely, said goodbye, and went home happily.

The rest of the messengers were like mirrors in their hearts, needless to say, those two states had already surrendered, and they had snatched the first merit from the dragon.

Everyone hurriedly passed the news to their masters, and there was a trace of anxiety in their expressions.

This kind of thing must be decided as soon as possible, and the most taboo attitude is hesitation.

Either fight or surrender, and the practice of looking ahead and looking backward will not only hurt the morale of the own side, but also easily invite catastrophe.

On the morning of the next day, just after the hour of the hour, several envoys begged to see Mu Jinyun, accepted his conditions, chose to give up military power, and surrendered the state.

The remaining messengers were even more anxious, and after feeding back the news to their side, they were restless one by one.

By the afternoon, more than a dozen had chosen to surrender unconditionally.

The few remaining envoys were even more anxious, and they circled around outside the camp.

In the evening, several messengers received a summons almost at the same time, and then they all rushed madly into the camp.

No one wants to be the last state to surrender.

Although they are all surrenders, the difference between surrendering first and surrendering later is very big, and this is related to the matter of attitude.

In less than three days, all the northern states surrendered.

The armies of the states were disarmed and ready to be formed, and the state pastors gathered in the old capital to wait for disposal.

Mu Jinyun held a feast in the barracks, entertaining officials from all sides, and the guests and hosts gathered very happily, at least, on the surface, it was still very harmonious.

King Mu did not engage in the old business of smashing cups anymore.

In the future, they will all be their own subordinates, and they will all slaughter who will do the work.

A few days later, the king's order was issued, first of all, the state pastoral officer changed his post, and the title of the state pastoral official remained unchanged, but he had to accept the change of post in another place and take office again.

There is nothing wrong with this arrangement, and everyone has been prepared for it in their hearts.

So, those who wanted to continue to do it were gladly grateful, and those who didn't want to do it anymore politely asked Mu Jinyun to resign in person.

Mu Jinyun didn't care about this.

If you want to do it well, he will never treat these people badly.

If you don't want to do it, you can resign, promise that you will never settle accounts after the autumn, and reward them with a lot of money, so that they can be rich with peace of mind.

After this move, the upper-level officials and gentry in the northern states praised the king's benevolence and righteousness, and the people's hearts were quickly calmed down.

After the adjustment of the state pastor is completed, the next thing to do is to integrate the army.

In this regard, Mu Jinyun was not so polite.

Based on the Tianze and Tianwei armies, all armies were reintegrated.

Disperse Tianze's old army and assign it to the new army of various departments and become the core team of the new army.

The establishment of the army, military regulations and discipline, as well as the daily transfer of officers, all follow the previously established system.

After some rectification, the troops of the two countries were divided into 40 battalions and a total of 40 million troops.

Immediately afterwards, under the intentional arrangement of Yi Pei and Da Jiang, the heroic deeds of King Mu were rendered in the military camp.

After continuous brainwashing and propaganda, it didn't take long for the king to become the god of war in the minds of the soldiers, and his image became extremely uplifted.

This move made Mu Jinyun look at these two people with admiration again.

I think these two are not only scheming and tricks, but also good at personality cult and political propaganda, and they are really talents in many aspects.

After the integration of the armies was completed, the large army was divided into two and stationed in the territory of the two countries.

The difference is that the army stationed in Tianze Country is still under the banner of Tianze Kingdom, and the army stationed in Tianwei Country is under the banner of Tianwei Country.

After all, the external statement has not changed, Tianze and Tianwei are just close allies, and few people know that the two kings are two people.

Therefore, Tianze and Tianwei are still two countries.

Every house has its own army, and every house has its own king.

The major affairs of Tianze Country have been decided, and the last thing is how to deal with Chen Haotian's family and those old ministers.

It's impossible to put it, it's not benevolent and righteous to kill them, and it's not safe to continue to use them, this time, Mu Jinyun is stumped.

In the end, Xiao Xiangyi came up with an idea.

Bringing these people into the realm treasure, so that they can also become mortals from now on, be a rich man in the realm treasure, live and reproduce, and live a life in peace can be regarded as preferential treatment for them.

Mu Jinyun clapped his hands and applauded, and praised his daughter-in-law greatly.

He smiled and said: "It's still Xinyi smart, this idea is really high, so that you don't have to worry about them making trouble in the future, and you won't increase the number of killings, it's really a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone, my family Xinyi is smart, and it's really a good helper for the husband!" ”

Although she is also an old husband and wife, after hearing her husband's praise, Xiao Xiangyi is still very useful.

The little face was flushed, and he looked at Mu Jinyun with affection.

The big event was set, and Mu Jinyun and Xiao Xiangyi returned to the Tianwei royal capital together.

Although he had recovered the old capital of Tianze, Mu Jinyun always felt that there was an indescribable awkwardness in that place, and he didn't want to stay there for a long time.

Therefore, he still chose to go to the capital of Tianwei to live.

Xiao Xiangyi is naturally 10,000 in favor, how can the bitter days of separation between these two places compare to the sweetness of staying together day and night.

If you can be with your family every day, of course, it is a good thing that you can't ask for.

Not long after returning to the royal capital, another good news came, Jiao Ziyan was out of the customs.

Jiao Ziyan successfully fused the ancestral blood of the phoenix, and her cultivation rose sharply, and she had already entered the stage of channeling.

And according to Feng Wanyun, the current Jiao Ziyan is only a preliminary fusion of Phoenix ancestral blood.

As the degree of integration becomes closer, the two will eventually merge completely.

At that time, Jiao Ziyan's cultivation would greatly jump up a few steps, and a small period of enlightenment was nothing at all.

After hearing the words, Ming'er and Gong Shaoxue were both envious and sad.
