The relationship between the Zhang brothers and Cao Kun is extraordinary, if it weren't for Cao Kun's support and help back then, the Zhang brothers would have become a pile of white bones, where is it possible to become a respected Yuan Shen Realm existence?

Dafengguo's announcement of surrender means that Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong's hope of revenge is very slim, but in the face of Dafengguo's 'betrayal' behavior, the brothers have no hatred for Cao Kun and Dafengguo, because they always have a grateful heart, even if they can have better development without Cao Kun and Dafengguo.

If this is not the case, knowing his human nature, how could Da Fengguo and even Cao Kun be unguarded against the four brothers?

Since it was decided to surrender, there was no need to procrastinate, so on the afternoon of the next day, Dafengguo sent an envoy, that is, Cao Kun himself, to enter the Chinese army camp in person and meet Li Zhen.

Li Zhen learned that Cao Kun, the ancestor of Dafeng Kingdom and a master of the Yuanshen Realm, had personally visited, and knew his intention, so he laughed and said: "Dafeng Kingdom has taken it!" Today is a day to be happy about. ”

The courtiers at the bottom were also very happy, and they congratulated Li Zhen one after another.

Li Zhen and the courtiers happily exchanged ideas, and then personally went out to greet Cao Kun.

Cao Kun waited outside the barracks, alone, looking lonely and lonely.

Li Zhen took the military generals of Wenchen and the Wanxian Pavilion to greet him ceremoniously.

"The junior Li Zhen has seen Senior Cao, let the senior wait for a long time, and please forgive the sin!"

Li Zhen said respectfully.

"Vantage is too polite, and I'm just here."

The two sides simply exchanged two polite sentences, Li Zhen led Cao Kun into the camp, and when he arrived in the camp, Li Zhen invited Cao Kun to be the first to be the first.

"I don't know that Senior Cao is here, but it's for the sake of surrender?"

Li Zhen said with a kind smile.

Hearing this, Cao Kun nodded, and said very frankly: "Not bad! Now that the general trend of our country has gone, continuing to fight will not only increase casualties, but will not be able to reverse the situation, since this is the case, it is better to surrender. In addition, the conditions given by the Vantage Emperor were also very favorable, and it was also a joy that the two countries were finally able to end the war in such a situation. ”

Li Zhen was very excited when he got Cao Kun's personal answer, because the victory of Dafeng Kingdom was of great significance to him and Huaguo.

"Not bad! It is indeed a joy that the two countries were able to end the war in such a situation. ”

Li Zhen knew that it was time to express his position, and said without hesitation: "Except for the conditions promised before, I will give one more preferential treatment, that is, the state where the ancestral land of the imperial family is located will become the fief of the Cao family for the Cao family to cultivate." ”

gave the official title and the land, Li Zhen's treatment of the dead royal family can be said to be very generous, and he has never even done so.

Why did Li Zhen do this? The reason is very simple, if you know the current affairs, I will give you a reward, and at the same time, I will also set an example, and when they conquer other countries in the future, they can also have a reference.

To put it bluntly, it is also a means to buy people's hearts.

"Thank you for your grace."

Cao Kun didn't have any change in his expression, and continued: "I have a reluctant request below, and I hope that Emperor Hua will promise." ”

"Please."

"That's the case, the two brothers Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong below, I hope Vantage can let them go."

Cao Kun was a little apprehensive in his heart, according to common sense, this condition may not necessarily be agreed to by the other party, after all, there is a grudge against killing his brother, and letting them go is undoubtedly letting the tiger return to the mountain. As far as the superior is concerned, this is a potential threat that cannot be ignored.

"Huh!"

When Li Zhen heard this, he didn't immediately agree, Cao Kun chuckled in his heart, but before Cao Kun could say anything to guarantee, Li Zhen took the lead and said: "For Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong, I have the heart to accept them, so let them go, I really can't bear it, if I can serve the court, it will be a blessing for the court." ”

As soon as Cao Kun heard this, he almost scolded on the spot, how could he talk so well, and suddenly stopped talking?

Killed two younger brothers, and turned around and wanted to recruit the brothers, is it possible?

Cao Kun's face suddenly became gloomy, and when Li Zhen saw this, he smiled slightly, and said: "I know that the contradictions with Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong are very deep and difficult to resolve, but fortunately, I didn't do everything and left room for maneuver. ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhen glanced at Peng Fei's predecessors, Peng Fei's predecessors understood, flicked his embroidered robe, and two remnant souls appeared in front of Cao Kun, it was Zhang Hao and Zhang Jie, the state of the two remnant souls was very bad, dying, especially Zhang Hao was the most serious, if it wasn't for Peng Fei's seniors to protect him, he would have completely lost his soul.

"This?!"

Cao Kun was shocked when he saw this, and soon became overjoyed.

As long as the remnant soul is not extinguished, it is not difficult to resurrect it, but it is difficult to restore it to the peak, but as long as the resources are sufficient, it is not impossible.

"Senior Cao can go back and tell Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong that as long as the two of them are willing to stay, and join the Wanxian Pavilion to serve our Huaguo, I will not only give them the remnant soul of his brother, but even tilt resources to help him recover."

As soon as Li Zhen's voice fell, Cao Kun immediately said: "No problem!" I'll go back and talk to them. ”

Cao Kun didn't expect that Zhang Hao and Zhang Jie were not dead, which can be said to be the biggest happy event since the war with Huaguo.

After Cao Kun left the barracks, he informed Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong of the news, and the two brothers were overjoyed and unbelievable when they got the news.

"Is this true? How can it be? I saw with my own eyes Peng Fei beat the soul of the third brother and annihilated it. ”

"That's it! Is there a fraud in this? ”

The brothers were not entirely convinced.

Seeing this, Cao Kun said: "Big brother has seen it with his own eyes, will he collude with Vantage and cooperate to deceive you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong hurriedly waved their hands.

"Brother Cao's words are serious, it's not that we don't believe you, but we think it's too unbelievable."

Cao Kun said categorically: "Big brother can guarantee that the third and fourth children have indeed not completely fallen, but the state of the remnant soul is not very good, as long as you are willing to submit, Vantage promises to vigorously tilt resources to help the third and fourth recover." ”

Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong were assured by Cao Kun that they were correct, and hurriedly said: "There is no problem!" No problem! As long as the two younger brothers are not dead, don't say that they will return to the country of Shunhua, even if they are cattle and horses. ”

"Not bad, not bad! As long as the two younger brothers don't die, everything is easy to say. ”

Zhang Xiong was also excited.

Cao Kun took the two into the camp of the Chinese army, and the two brothers saw the remnants of the two younger brothers in the big tent, and immediately cried with joy.

"The third! Fourth! It's great that you're not dead! ”

Happiness came too suddenly.

·····················································

In Fengyun Pass that day, Zhang Hao's Yuan Shen attacked Jiang Shang, and the demon ancestor Peng Fei seized the opportunity to stab the Yuan Shen with a shot in the back, and dispersed it with mana, causing it to disappear. But Zhang Hao's strong desire to survive made the Yuan Shen not completely dissipate, and after Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong left, the demon ancestor Peng Fei looked at Zhang Hao's remnant soul, calculated it, and collected it.

In private, Peng Fei's predecessors informed Li Zhen when he received Zhang Hao's remnant soul, and after Li Zhen learned about it, he quickly understood the purpose and agreed with it.

At this time, Li Zhen had already begun to prepare for the surrender of the Zhang brothers.

Outside the imperial city yesterday, Li Zhen and the demon ancestor Peng Fei's purpose was to use Zhang Hao's remnant soul as a blackmail, so that the three brothers would not oppose Huaguo, which was also one of the killer features that Li Zhen dared to let the demon ancestor send him to the imperial capital. It's just that he never expected that Zhang Jie was eager for revenge, and he actually ran out by himself, and brought great trouble to the demon ancestor Peng Fei. In desperation, Li Zhen could only use the life-killing nail to clean up the other party, but he still did not forget to recruit the three Zhang brothers, so when Peng Fei's predecessors communicated with him in private, he decided to show mercy to his subordinates, not to kill them with one blow, and give Peng Fei's predecessors a chance to collect the remnant soul.

At this point, it can be seen that it is a wise move for Dafengguo to surrender, because once Li Zhen threatens Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong with the remnants of Zhang Hao and Zhang Jie, it will cause fatal damage to Dafengguo.

Although Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong will not do anything to harm Dafengguo, for the safety of their two younger brothers, Li Zhen ordered them to stand by and watch Dafengguo suffer, besides, even if they are not coerced, the handle is held by Li Zhen, can Dafengguo still trust unconditionally as before?

Cao Kun, the ancestor of Dafeng Kingdom, came back to his senses, and was afraid for a while, if he hadn't chosen to surrender, the royal family would really be finished.

Li Zhen waved his hand at Peng Fei's senior, and Peng Fei's predecessor gave up control of the two remnant souls and let Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong protect the remnant souls.

"Two seniors! As long as you are willing to submit to our country and serve our country, the remnants of your soul can be taken away. ”

Li Zhen said solemnly: "I don't know what the two seniors think? ”

When Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong heard this, they glanced at each other, showing hesitation, obviously Li Zhen pinched the two of them.

"Good! We promised that as long as the remnants of our two younger brothers were handed over to us, we would be willing to serve Huaguo. ”

Zhang Ying, as the eldest brother, agreed after a little groaning.

If they don't agree, they can't take away the remnant soul, can they watch their brother die a second time? Moreover, the third and fourth children still have hope of living, Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong's hatred for Li Zhen and Peng Fei will be greatly reduced, their resistance will be weakened, and they will even have a little gratitude for their subordinates, even if the other party has bad intentions, so as not to hinder this gratitude.

Li Zhen was very satisfied and happy when he saw that Zhang Ying agreed.

"Good, good! From today on, you are the enshrinement of the Ten Thousand Immortal Pavilion, and I promise that I will give you resources to restore your third and fourth brothers within ten years. ”

Li Zhen made a guarantee, and this sentence surprised everyone present.

Within ten years, let the two remnant souls return to their peak state, this is too big to say, if it is a hundred years, it is almost the same.

Zhang Ying, Zhang Xiong, and Cao Kun all showed expressions of disbelief, while Li Zhen said seriously: "Don't think that I am painting cakes for you, I have no way of holding back, the resources I have at hand are beyond your imagination, and if you say ten years, ten years will be ten years." ”

"Remember! No jokes! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Zhang Ying and Zhang Xiong received a positive reply from Li Zhen and knelt on the spot to salute.

With the resources that Li Zhen has at hand now, it is undoubtedly whimsical to restore the two Yuan Shen Realm remnant souls to their peak state for ten years, but what if there is the help of the Luofu faction? Is this still whimsical? Lip-stitching?

He has a great favor to the Luofu faction, and the Luofu faction will definitely repay it, and when the time comes, some small requests will be promised.

"Senior Cao, why don't you join Wanxian Pavilion as well."

Li Zhen looked at Cao Kun and said, "Obedient Cao seniors and the four predecessors of the Zhang family are like brothers, if they can join the Wanxian Pavilion together, it will definitely be a happy thing." ”

Li Zhen turned his head to look at Cao Kun and invited Cao Kun to join Wanxian Pavilion as well.

Cao Kun's original intention was to follow the clan to return to the ancestral land and be a fustic cultivator, at this time, seeing Li Zhen recruit the Zhang brothers, it seemed inappropriate if he did not agree, and it was also a joy to be able to continue to work together with the Zhang brothers, so he agreed.

"It's an honor to be invited by Your Majesty."

Cao Kun agreed, and the power of Wanxian Pavilion instantly increased by several grades.

"Good, good! Today is a memorable and happy event, set up a banquet to celebrate the joining of several seniors in Wanxian Pavilion! ”

Li Zhen ordered.

That night, the barracks set up a banquet, and Li Zhen brought his cronies and the two brothers of the Zhang family or Cao's predecessors to drink and talk.

Yesterday was still a mortal enemy, but today he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, Li Zhen's methods are really extraordinary. Of course, the biggest hero is Peng Fei's predecessors, if there is no proposal from Peng Fei's predecessors, how can Li Zhen get their allegiance?

The next day, Li Zhen took the civil and military officials to receive the letter from the Dafeng Emperor outside the imperial capital.

On the day of the Dafeng royal family, the Dafeng royal family moved back to the ancestral land to live, and Li Zhen took over the Dafeng imperial capital and renamed it 'Taiping City'.

The meaning of Taiping City comes from the Taiping Domain, and Taiping City is located in the center of the Taiping Domain, which is only suitable as the future ruling center.

The people of Dafeng are still very reluctant to become the people of China in the future, after all, the people of every country are full of love and a sense of belonging to their country, and Li Zhen does not care about this, because time can smooth everything out.

After settling in Taiping City, Huaguo officials began to slowly take over the bureaucracy of Dafeng State, everything was going on in an orderly manner, Li Zhen must not be idle at this time, Dafeng Kingdom surrendered, and his next goal was to make the biggest opponent, the Zhengzhen faction, bow down.

Four days later, Li Zhen took Yun Linglong and a few people to leave Taiping City and went to the Demon Sect's frontline base camp to help the Demon Sect take down the Zhengzhen Sect as soon as possible.

·················································

Since the three factions of the Demon Sect were unified by Li Zhen by thunderous means, Ouyang Feng took over the position of the sect leader, and with his strong skills, after rectifying the internal affairs in a short period of time, he immediately deployed the forces of the three factions to launch an attack on the third line of defense of the Zhengzhen faction.

The overall strength of the three factions of the Demon Sect combined is superior to that of the True Sect, but the strength on paper is one thing, and the actual fight is another.

In terms of overall quality and ability, the Zhengzhen Sect and its subordinate Dao sects were obviously superior to the three Demon Sect factions, so the first battle led by the Demon Sect Leader Ouyang Feng did not achieve too significant results, but fortunately, this battle ended with the victory of the Demon Sect, which could be regarded as saving Ouyang Feng's face.
