Zhong Wuguo, under the east city pond.

Jiang Tai led an army of 40,000 to arrive, the city gate was closed, and the city wall was several zhang high.

In the army, most of them are soldiers who have cultivated in the spirit realm, so naturally they can't all fly over, and there are a large number of archers on the city wall.

At the moment, he was looking out of the city cautiously.

Above the city tower, an old man who was quite old looked at the 40,000 army outside the city with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"City Lord, what should I do? There are only 30,000 defenders in my city, and they are all scattered, as soon as the Wu army comes, many of the defenders are so frightened that they lose their swords!" said a general with an ugly face.

"Yes, city lord, this has to be fought down, and our eastern city can't hold it at all!" said the other general, with an ugly face.

The old city lord frowned and said, "When will the army of the Chu State arrive?"

"We've already sent a message out of the city, and we don't know when we'll have to wait!" said one of the generals.

"Guard, we must hold it, the news is out, there should be support from other cities, and the Chu State will not ignore us, once the reinforcements arrive, we will have nothing to do!" said the old city lord.

"Yes!" the generals worried.

The defenders of Dongchengchi stared at the army opposite with a sense of worry.

At this moment, in the middle of the army in the distance, it was a big horse, slowly galloping over.

But it was Jiang Tai who came on horseback.

"Stop!" shouted the general on the castle tower.

Jiang Tai smiled slightly and said: "Under Jiang Tai, he is now the commander of the 40,000 Wu troops outside the city, but he can't bear to meet the two soldiers, and there are countless casualties, so he came alone to discuss the affairs of the two armies with the city lord of Dongchengchi!"

"What?" said the soldiers on the castle tower.

The commander on the other side? He actually risked his life and came alone?

The old city lord also looked surprised.

Jiang Tai was already within the range of the archers, and the scene in front of him made the archers look shocked.

In the distance, it was Jiang Tai who arranged for Chen Liu, Tianyi and others to guard the army.

There was a burst of surprise in the old city lord's eyes: "Open the door and let him in!"

"Yes!"

The city gate slowly opened, and Jiang Tai slowly stepped into the city on a big horse. In the city, a group of guards looked at Jiang Tai with great vigilance, but the people not far away were a little afraid when they looked at Jiang Tai.

"Listen to the people in the city, I am the Buddhist Jiang Tai, this time I came alone, but in order to resolve this fight, so as not to ruin the lives of the people, your children and grandchildren in the active army, once the war, there will be death, you are at this moment, you are in the city, once the war will be looted and burned countless people. In order to prevent you white-haired people from sending black-haired people, and not to let you suffer, I am here, and I hope that your city lord can also think about you!" Jiang Tai shouted.

The city was quiet, and the people looked at Jiang Tai blankly, but their hearts were full of thoughts, and a trace of expectation flashed in their eyes.

"Jiang Tai, this is not the place for you to be presumptuous!"

Jiang Tai smiled slightly and said: "I have seen the city lord of Dongcheng, I also did it before I came, and there are very few people who are still loyal to the king in the current Zhongwu country." The East City Lord is one of the few people!"

"Hmph!" the old city lord snorted coldly.

Jiang Tai dismounted, holding a burden in his hand, threw the reins of the horse to a soldier and said, "Help me take care of the horse, I'll come down in a while!"

"Huh?" the soldier took the reins, his face dazed.

You're alone, but this is in my eastern city. Your life is in danger all the time, how do you act like you're home?

Jiang Tai grabbed the burden and slowly walked up to the city tower.

The old city lord is on top of the city tower, and there are a group of generals standing around, who are looking at Jiang Tai coldly at this moment, and some generals are even more murderous in their eyes, this kid in front of him is the enemy commander?

If it is true, if you take him, the enemy will not dare to act rashly?

"Where you are stepping in, the ruins are thousands of miles, and the old man has admired Your Excellency's name for a long time!" the old city lord said coldly.

"Buzz!"

The soldiers were excited, they didn't recognize it before, but when they heard the old city lord say it at this moment, their faces suddenly changed, and some even took a step back unconsciously.

Is that scourge? No wonder, no wonder he became the commander of the Wu army.

"The old city lord praised it, and when he came, he brought you a gift, I hope you like it!" Jiang Tai smiled and threw the burden to a general.

The general immediately took it, and everyone was at a loss, and the general opened his baggage.

Suddenly, one by one, the bamboo tubes were exposed.

The general's face changed drastically, and he quickly opened the bamboo tube, and there were letters inside.

"What? How is it possible, this is a letter for help that we sent out to the city? A lot, all here?" the general's face changed.

"Buzz!"

On the tower of the city, the faces of all the generals changed wildly.

Doesn't that mean that there are no reinforcements at all in Dongchengchi?

The general, who was already afraid of battle, became more and more panicked at the moment.

The old city lord said with a cold gaze: "Jiang Tai, what do you mean?"

"Old city lord, and the generals, what do you think are the chances of winning our next battle?" Jiang Tai asked with a smile.

"Hmph, we have a castle tower, and you can't break through it at all!" said a militant soldier.

Jiang Tai smiled slightly, walked to the entrance of the city tower and said, "Have you seen that mountain?"

"Huh?" everyone looked at Jiang Tai in confusion.

saw Jiang Tai suddenly take out a small sword the size of a palm, the Juque Sword.

Jiang Tai pulled it slightly.

"Groan!"

A fierce sword aura suddenly slashed towards that mountain.

"Boom!"

From it, the mountain is cut in half!

"Shhh

Everyone looked at Jiang Tai in horror, what kind of treasure is that?

Jiang Tai smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, is the city wall useful to us?"

"Jiang Tai, are you here to persuade you to surrender?" the old city lord said coldly.

"That's right! The old city lord is wise, he should be able to see the situation clearly!" Jiang Tai said with a smile.

"Hmph, persuade me to surrender, we are all Zhongwu ministers, we are Zhongwu ministers in life, and we are ghosts in Zhongwuguo, if you want to fight, you can fight, even if you fight to the most stubborn and a soldier, I will make your Wu army pay a heavy price!" the old city lord said coldly.

"Come on, take down Jiang Tai!" one of the generals shouted.

"Haha

The archers from all over were slightly stunned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I dare to come here, what do you think this group of soldiers can do to me? Not to mention blocking them, just that sword qi just now, you have also seen it, I am here, if I want to harvest your lives, it will be easy!" Jiang Tai said coldly.

"Groan!"

A group of soldiers drew their long swords one after another, and the sword aura just now was too terrifying, and everyone was scared for a while.

"Put your sword down!" cried the old city lord.

Jiang Tai looked at the old city lord, and the old city lord also stared at Jiang Tai: "Mr. Jiang, I know that you are powerful, although there is news from the world, you don't shoot much, but, you can cause countless damage and then retreat, obviously not mortal, that sword qi just now, we can't resist it, you want to hurt us, it's not difficult, but it is impossible for Dongchengchi to compromise, I'd rather die than be a slave to the country!"

"I'd rather die than be a slave to the country!" many soldiers shouted.

But some of them are at a loss.

Jiang Tai smiled slightly: "Old city lord, for the major cities, in fact, we have done a survey before coming, other city lords have their own greed, but you are arrogant, do not bow to anyone, the entire city, under your governance, is the only fair and strict city in Zhongwu country, and the people love it." My heart is to the city lord, if I kill the old city lord, the people may even form a riot and clash with our army!"

"Huh?" the old lord nodded.

The old city lord did have this appeal in the city, and he gave countless favors, and many people were grateful to the old city lord.

"However, the old city lord should understand one thing, Zhong Wu's national qi is exhausted!" Jiang Tai said in a deep voice.

The old city lord's face sank.

"Compare what you have in Zhongwu country, there are only five cities in total, the weakest kind in the lower country, what is the appearance of the scattered army? Do you also know that you expect the other four cities to save you? Don't dream, they are all unable to protect themselves now. How far is the Chu State from Zhong Wuguo, are they using you, or are they really friends with you?" Jiang Tai said.

The old city lord's face was gloomy.

"Look at my Wu Kingdom again, and see how the army in front of you is? Isn't it full of fighting spirit? Besides, the military giant is the commander-in-chief, how long can you Zhong Wuguo resist?" Jiang Tai asked.

"Even if the country is destroyed, I will not surrender!" the old city lord said coldly.

"Yes, you will not surrender, you have left a clear name, but your clear name is used at the cost of slaughtering the people who trust you, they trust you, believe that you can lead Dongchengchi to a better future, and you selfishly drag them to the abyss of hell for the sake of your bones!" Jiang Tai asked.

"Bastard, when am I going to drag them into the abyss of hell?" said the old city lord in a deep voice.

"The old city lord should have had some news earlier, I am temporarily the commander of this army, these Wu troops may not listen to me, right?" Jiang Tai asked.

The old city lord's eyelids jumped.

"Once the war starts, if you are defeated, what will this group of Wu troops do? Burning, killing and looting in the city, this is what the Wu army does normally, this does not need me to explain, your parents may be killed by the Wu army, your wives and daughters may be insulted by the Wu army, and your young children will be crushed all the way.

Brave soldiers, have you ever thought about the consequences?

For the sake of your integrity, let your relatives suffer hellish ordeals, and let the people who trust you go into the abyss?" Jiang Tai asked.

The soldiers were cold.

"That's also your fault, your majesty is not strict!" said the old city lord with a clenched fist.

"It's not that my majesty is not strict, five days ago, this group of troops were all soldiers under Wu Zixu and Lord Wu, I just temporarily took over for five days, how can I be strict?" Jiang Tai asked.

There was a moment of silence.

Even the old city lord, looking at the 40,000 troops outside the city at this moment, his face was extremely ugly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhongwu's national strength is exhausted, what you have to defend now is not the Zhongwu royal family, what you want to defend is your homeland, what you want to protect is the people who love you, the people you love, and the countless people in this city who trust you, they are the ones you need to protect the most!" Jiang Tai persuaded.

"Then, we surrender to you?" said the old city lord in a cold voice.

"Old City Lord, come and see!" Jiang Tai shook his head and said.

Jiang Tai walked towards the other edge of the city tower, and a group of soldiers surrounded Jiang Tai, but no one dared to make a move.

The generals walked to the edge of the city tower and looked into the city, but what they saw was the people slowly gathering in the distance, and the people looked at the city tower with a strong expectation in their eyes.

Jiang Tai's words at the beginning seemed to have worked, if he could not fight, who would want to fight? The people did not want their children and grandchildren to die on the battlefield, nor did they want the lives in the city to be ruined.

If only I could not fight!

One by one, the people looked expectantly at Jiang Tai and his party on the city tower.

The old city lord looked at the people in the city, and his eyelids jumped wildly for a while.

"See? The life and death of these people will depend on the old city lord later, if you let them die, they can't stop it, but for the sake of your own so-called integrity, are you really willing to watch them die? Old city lord, there are people you know well, right?" Jiang Tai said.

At this time, the people in the distance also saw the city lord.

"That's the city lord, the city lord!" the people looked at the old city lord excitedly one by one.

"City Lord, we support you, what you say, we will do!"

"Old man, my life was saved by the city lord back then, and now I sell my life to the old city lord!"

"Wow!" a baby cries.

........................

............

......

The chaotic voice sounded, listening to the voices of these people, the old city lord's previous toughness, but he became more and more guilty.

"Old city lord, look at their simple faces, can you bear to let them all die in order to fulfill your so-called integrity?

The surrounding soldiers were also looking ugly at the moment.

The old city lord took a deep breath, his face showed bitterness, surrender, it is disloyal, disloyal to Zhongwu country, the old city lord has been loyal all his life, but he doesn't want to need treason in his old age?

Many of the generals were also moved, and they were also looking at the old city lord expectantly at this moment.

"I, Jiang Tai, can be the master, if Dongchengchi can safely transition to Wu State, the officials in the city will only be demoted by one level and continue to be officials, and the generals in the city will only be demoted by one level and continue to be generals!" Jiang Tai said.

"What?" the generals wondered.

Can he still be a general? It's just a downgrade? And some officials in charge of government affairs on the periphery are also bright-eyed.

"Old city lord, for the sake of the people a way to live, old city lord, come down!" an official suddenly knelt down.

"Bold!" shouted one of the soldiers.

However, immediately afterwards, the surrounding officials and soldiers knelt down one after another: "Old city lord, the people are innocent!"

"Old city lord, please save the people!" pleaded the officials and soldiers.

The old city lord looked at his subordinates who were kneeling on the ground around him, and for a while, he looked at Jiang Tai in horror.

This, this, how long has it been? Jiang Tai persuaded everyone to surrender?

"Mr. Jiang, you, you, you are so amazing!" the old city lord shouted in horror with his eyes widened.

"Thank you to the old city lord for your success!" Jiang Tai smiled slightly.

Jiang Tai understood that Dongchengchi had officially surrendered from then on.

"Alas!" said the old city lord, looking bitter.

Jiang Tai looked at the people of the city and said, "The old city lord has decided to stop fighting at this point, everything will continue as usual in the eastern city, and there will be no more wars!"

"The lord of the city is wise!"

"Ah, great, finally don't fight!"

"Thank you, old city lord!"

"I don't have to worry about it now!"

"Great!"

..............................

..................

......

The city was cheering.

The old city lord was at a loss.

"Zhong Wuguo has long lost the hearts of the people, old city lord, have you seen it? This is the heart of the people, the will of the people is the will of heaven, the will of heaven belongs, the expectations of the people, what do you have to regret?" Jiang Tai said with a smile.

The old city lord looked at the people blankly, thinking that the people would be lost, but they cheered one by one?

After being dazed for a while, he looked at Jiang Tai again and said: "Mr. Jiang, what a powerful Mr. Jiang, first enter the city, bewitch the people, lead to the people's demands, and then intercept the letter for help to cut off our hopes, hope is shattered, and then cut the mountain with a sword, extinguishing our determination to fight back on the verge of death, kidnapping us with the people, and then using the officials to win the hearts of the people." Interlocking, controlling people's emotions. I've seen it a long time today. Alone, he rebelled against the whole city!"

"Providence, the trend of the times, I just follow the trend, thank you to the old city lord for making it happen!" Jiang Tai smiled.
