Chapter 197: Submission
Ji Chu's attitude was very resolute, but Fang Yuhan could see that this old boy wanted to surrender, as long as he got the edict now, he could be sure that this old boy would surrender directly, so he said: "Okay, then Uncle Huo is waiting for me The good news is!"
Fang Yuhan came out of Ji's barracks, and Ji Fu came up and asked, "How is it?"
Fang Yuhan said with a smile: "It's just an edict from the Son of Heaven, I'll go back and report to Duke Zhou, it shouldn't be a big problem!"
Back in the military tent of Duke Zhou, Fang Yuhan said the conditions of Ji's place, and when Duke Zhou laughed, he said: "The Son of Heaven is benevolent and magnanimous, as long as he is willing to surrender and reform himself, he will forgive his sins, after all, the main culprit is not him, he is just bewitched by others!"
Fang Yuhan heard Zhou Gong's words, but he smiled bitterly: "What he needs right now is an edict, not your promise, once this edict goes down, there will be a certain risk, does he dare to issue it, Son of Heaven?"
Zhou Gong's eyes shot two fine lights, and said: "What you say is a big rebellion, but as an envoy to persuade surrender, you naturally have to give others a promise, rest assured, the Son of Heaven is definitely not a stingy person, you just wait in the barracks, and when I send everything back to Hojing, I can give you an answer in three days at most!"
When Fang Yuhan received Zhou Gong's gaze, it was like a mountain pressing on his heart, and he realized at that moment that a person like Zhou Gong, even if he was just a mortal, it was not an ordinary person who could challenge his majesty.
In other words, it is impossible for a practitioner to be completely high and desperate. Knowing this truth, Fang Yuhan bowed and retired, and came out of the camp tent, which could be regarded as a sigh of relief.
In nearly three days, the edict of the Son of Heaven really came, Fang Yuhan came to Ji Fu's camp with the edict, and Ji Fu smiled at the moment: "Now you don't need me to send troops to cheer for you, right?"
Fang Yuhan said with a smile: "It's useless, but since Ji Chu has surrendered, there must be a handover of his soldiers, and you must be ready to accept these people!"
Ji Fu said: "Won't his people be brought back to Huo Guo?"
Fang Yuhan said: "Now is the time for us to employ people, what are we going to do when we go back to Huo Country?"
Ji Fu glanced at Fang Yuhan, but laughed out loud and said, "Okay, everything depends on your means!"
Fang Yuhan said: "You just wait for my good news, and then let Ji Xian give a good drink, this old boy is the most jumpy among the three eunuchs!"
Fang Yuhan didn't know that Ji Xian had learned the news that Fang Yuhan had gone to persuade him to surrender, and he had already sent someone over to Ji's side, and the purpose was naturally to prevent Ji from surrendering. At this moment, the people sent by Ji Xian were in the camp, and Ji was personally receiving them.
But at this moment, the soldiers outside came in and reported: "The envoy of the imperial court is here!"
When the man heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and now his hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife, as long as Ji had any movement, he would definitely pounce on Ji at the first time. Ji Chu said to the man: "You take a rest in the back, I want to see what he says!"
The man understood that it was inconvenient for him to see Fang Yuhan, so he just nodded and walked to the back cautiously. Fang Yuhan came into the tent and said, "Uncle Huo, I brought the edict you asked for today, I don't know if you are a man of words?"
When Ji Chu heard this, he suddenly became excited, and then he took the edict in Fang Yuhan's hand, looked at it, but after making sure that everything was true, he said: "Ji Chu is willing to surrender, Ji Xian's people were in the camp before, he is behind, I will kill him first to make up my mind!"
The man behind him didn't want to turn his face so quickly, and at this time of crisis, he unsheathed his long knife, cut through the tent, and ran outside. At this time, Ji Chu shouted: "Stop him!"
This person dared to come to the military camp of Ji's place, and his cultivation was naturally not weak, at that moment he rose in the air, wanting to fly out of the military camp directly, but at this moment, the stone sword in Fang Yuhan's hand shot out and penetrated his body. At this point, the person sent by Ji Xian has no life.
Fang Yuhan understood that if Ji Chu wanted to kill this person, he didn't need to deliberately remind him, he would kill this person, and he would cut off Ji Chu's way.
Ji Chu knew that this man was dead, and he had no other way to go than to surrender sincerely.
"Now that Uncle Huo has surrendered, and the soldiers under your command will also belong to the imperial army, I will go and let General Ji Fu come over and take over!" After Fang Yuhan finished speaking, he came out to spread the news that Ji Fu brought people over and took over Ji's army.
For a while, Ji Chu became a loner, and in addition to returning to his fiefdom, he could only stay in the barracks to help attack Ji Du and Ji Xian.
Ji Xian was reluctant to lose the army, so he continued to lead the troops with a look, and at the moment Ji Fu also agreed, but in the army of Ji, he arranged a lot of his own henchmen, in addition, he was also very good to many soldiers, like a family, in less than ten days, all the troops of Ji were all turned into the army of the imperial court.
Ji Fu led an army of nearly 100,000 to join forces with Zhou Gong, and the next thing to do was to capture the positions of Ji Xian and Ji Du. Unlike Ji Chu, Ji Xian and Ji Du are both determined to rebel. However, the Lonely Void Daoist still hoped that Ji Shengxuan could be of some use, and at this time, Zhou Gong sent people to help Ling Ying and Bai Chong attack Ji Du, and at the same time, he still used the strategy of persuading Ji Xian to surrender.
In Ji Xian's military camp, Ji Yu and Ji Shengxuan were both there, and there were also some generals. At this time, Ji Yu said: "Father, we have come to this point, there is no way out, surrender is definitely a dead end, if you don't surrender, you can still live like a person, maybe you can really lay down the country that belongs to us!"
One of the generals said: "The words of the second son, the last general does not dare to agree, the current situation is in front of us, we have no second way to go!"
Ji Sheng preached: "Father, do you still need to think about it?"
Ji Xian said: "Don't think about it, naturally you can only talk about it!"
On the same day, Ji Xian ordered the army to march forward and went straight to the Zhou Gong military camp. Zhou Gong ordered Qin Ruochan, Xie Yingying, and Wei Li to lead the troops to meet the battle, and the two armies fought in the forest, and in the end, Ji Xian's army was blocked in the forest by Qin Ruochan and the three of them, and they couldn't advance an inch in half a step.
With an army of more than 100,000 in his hands at the moment, as well as many disciples of Tianxin Pavilion, Zhou Gong's heart was reassured, and at the moment he was not in a hurry to win at the moment, but assigned a part of his men to Fang Yuhan Zhuo Qingfeng and them to support Ling Ying and Bai Chong.
As for the three people of the Lonely Void Dao, the Woyun Dao, and the pyrotechnics, they were in the military camp to protect the safety of Duke Zhou. At this moment, the four of them were sitting in the camp tent, and the Lying Cloud Dao people said: "My lord, Poor Dao feels that it is a rapid attack of a large-scale attack right now, if we let Ji Xian come back to his senses, we will not be able to clean it up!"
"Ji Xian's attack this time was originally tentative, there is no relaxation, now that everyone is tempting, it is best to focus on attacking Ji Du!"
Lonely Void said: "Right now, let's occupy the top, and steady and steady is the key!"
Zhou Gong nodded: "Steady and steady, it's not that there is no action, Ji Xian's troops are 100,000, and Ji Du is 50,000, the best strategy at the moment is to attack Ji Du first, and then form a siege to completely take Ji Xian!"
Zhou Gongnai is the commander of the three armies, and since he has made a decision, the lonely Taoist naturally didn't say much. Right now, Yu Han and Zhuo Qingfeng are the commanders sent out to support Ling Ying and Bai Chong's 20,000 people.
Fang Yuhan is the main commander, and Zhuo Qingfeng is the deputy commander, and now the two of them are hiding 20,000 horses in the forest, while sending people out to find out the news of the enemy army, and on the other hand, they are sending people to contact Ling Ying and Bai Chong.
In the past three years, the cooperation between Ling Ying and Bai Chong can be said to be extremely tacit, and the two of them have held on to Ji Du, a general on the battlefield, for many years with the same strength, which shows their ability.
Recently, I heard that Wu Geng died in battle, and Ji Chu surrendered, and the two of them were also extremely happy, but it was a little difficult to capture Ji Du at the moment.
But at this moment, a guard came in to report: "Duke Zhou sent troops to support, and now the person who delivered the news is outside!"
Ling Ying and Bai Chong were both smart people, they understood that if it was just a simple message, there was no need to send someone over, and now that they knew each other, they invited someone in.
When they saw the visitor, they were all happy, because the person who came was none other than the iron pillar. Tiezhu has always been the main force on the battlefield, and when he was sent to be a messenger, he was depressed in his heart, but when he saw his friends, of course he couldn't be bitter.
Ling Ying had been dealing with Tiezhu for a long time, and when he saw Tiezhu's expression, he knew what this kid was thinking, and immediately smiled: "Why don't you come, how about staying in the army and charging into battle?"
Tie Zhu listened, but his eyes lit up, and then he said, "No, I have to go back!"
Ling Ying understood that Fang Yuhan and Zhuo Qingfeng arranged like this, just to send a general to them, and the news was just more superficial than to confuse the enemy, and at the moment, he didn't need to understand anything, he was proficient in the way of using soldiers, so he knew what Fang Yuhan and Zhuo Qingfeng were going to do.
"You listen to me, there is a fight here, as for the news, I will naturally send it back, and it will be extremely safe!" Ling Ying said with a smile.
Bai Chong pondered for a while, and then understood what Ling Ying meant, and he also smiled at the moment: "Stay, let's prepare a big gift for Ji Du!"
Now is a critical time, Ji Du naturally pays attention to Ling Ying, Bai Chong, and Zhou Gong's every move. Before Fang Yuhan and the others set off, he got the news.
At this critical moment, he deliberately sent someone to deliver the news, what was going on? Ji Du had already planned to rob the iron pillar halfway through, and asked for a clear understanding, but what puzzled him was that the iron pillar did not go back, but actually stayed in Ling Ying's army.
"What kind of medicine is sold in your gourd?" Ji Du thought about it for a long time, after all, he didn't know the point, like Ji Xian, he was an advocate of war, so naturally he would not surrender.
In fact, Ji Du also understands that at the moment, the Duke of Zhou will not let him surrender, let alone the imperial court, and there is only one way for him, that is, to defeat the Duke of Zhou, drive the army to Haojing, achieve prestige, and seize the world.
