The Sacred Ding Chapter 308: Advise to surrender

The cultivation base of the Dao Dan realm usually has a lifespan of more than 200 years old. Zhang Xiong is only over eighty years old at this time. In terms of his cultivation base in the middle of the Dao Dan realm, he can be said to be in his prime.

However, when Chen Hai, Ge Xuanqiao, Miao Mingcheng, and Yue Yiran walked into Yuchi City and were temporarily enlisted as a residence by Zhang Xiong, they saw Zhang Xiong with gray hair and aging.

A few days ago, when Zhang Xiong was standing in front of Yuchi City, he was still standing on a gorgeous chariot covered with crow-colored shawls. He was tall and stalwart, wearing a fire cloud armor, like a fairy general. Come to the world.

In the conference hall, whether it is the children of the Zhang family or the generals who had previously attached Zhang Xiong to the North and South Army, their eyes are more suspicious, vigilant, frustrated, fearful or even curious, but they cannot see anger. , Hatred, or madness driven to a dead end.

When he entered Jade Chi City, Yue Yiran still expected Zhang Xiong to jump over the wall and kill Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao. In his opinion, this was the biggest role that Zhang Xiong could play while he was dead. He was disappointed when he saw Zhang Xiong's aging appearance, and he was shocked. He didn't understand why a generation of lords advocated for being like this suddenly.

They have so many generals who were ruthlessly killed on the battlefield by the elite army, with their limbs broken and blood flowing in rivers. Why do they have no anger or hatred in their hearts, and why they have never thought of killing Chen Hai, the ruthless heart of revenge for Paoze?

In public and private, Ge Xuanqiao wanted to end this war as soon as possible, but he also thought in his heart that Zhang Xiong might be unwilling to give in, and would not be so easy to give in.

Walking into Yuchi City, I saw that although the city is actively preparing for war, demolishing houses, strengthening barracks, building more retaining walls, and digging trenches in the city, there are also several counterweight catapults manufactured. It can be seen that the rebel generals have rich experience in city defense, but the morale of the rebel generals is extremely depressed, and there is no vitality on his face. Ge Xuanqiao is truly convinced that it is indeed him and Chen Hai who are entering the city to persuade and give. The best time for mercy was when they walked into Yuchi City, they were not faced with hatred and crazy eyes.

Chen Hai stood in the dimly lit and depressed hall, calmly facing the startled and vigilant scrutiny of Zhang Xiong and the generals of the rebel army.

Considering that the defensive array will not last long, the rebels don’t have enough depth. The so-called palace of the kingdom will be within the throwing range of the stone crossbow outside the city. They use rows of circles inside the hall. The wood was reinforced to withstand the day and night blasting of the sling crossbow, but this also made the conference hall, which was not much spacious, more narrow and dimly lit.

According to the Zhang clan, who thrived in Tianai Mountain and reproduced their descendants, before Zhang Xiong, they were still small tribes on the southern coast of Pingluhai.

Even after Zhang Xiong cultivated Dao Dan, the rise of the Zhang clan was not rapid. In the early years, Zhang Xiong was known as a martial idiot in Pinglu, and he focused more on cultivation and ignored the development of the clan.

It was the cruel and **** Western Expedition that caused huge losses to the old clan tribes of the Pinglu Oasis. Only after the war was Zhang able to quickly make up for the power vacancies left on the southern bank of the Pinglu Sea, and rose to become The Ye family, the Shi family, and the Jing family also respect the big family of Pinglu.

However, as far as Zhang Xiong himself is concerned, he does not have a particularly strong greed for power. After the Western Expedition, Zhang Xiong only briefly held the post of the Western Qiang State and left the country, most of the time in Tian'ai Mountain. Qianxiu, but the clan brother Zhang Jun represents the Zhang clan, and has long served as deputy governor in the Southern Army, in charge of military and political power.

Before Shi Wuying and Jing Yiyuan, Zhang Xiong was persuaded by the Demon Temple and the Tibetan Qiang Kingdom to seek to usurp the position of the Western Qiang Kingdom. It is not so much Zhang Xiong’s personal ambition for power, it is more important and more important. The core factor is that Kong Peng's adultery with his daughter forced him to make such a choice.

Before the collapse of the western foothills of Tiele Ling, Zhang Xiong did not choose to break through with a few guards at the last moment, but stayed and guarded Yuchi City with the rebel generals. This was an indecision that he seemed to be indecisive. The ruthless heart of the Lord of Wuxiong.

This is also the key reason why Ye Chentian, the suspicious old master of Xiqiang, always lacked defense against Zhang.

Zhang Xiong has no ambition to be a hero. This is also the main reason why Chen Hai decided to enter Jade Chicheng at this time.

This is also the most appropriate time to show mercy and let Jing Juejun come forward to incorporate the remnants of the Zhang clan.

War is inherently **** and cruel, but no one will remember the blood and cruelty imposed by elite soldiers on the battlefield.

The Battle of Yuchi City will also replace to a certain extent the memories of the **** Western Expeditions of the Pinglu Oasis tribes. At this time, ending the war will not only not deepen, but even Greatly weaken the hatred of the tribes of Pinglu Oasis towards Yanzhou.

If the cruel war continues, the unprovoked reduction of the potential of the Pinglu Oasis is one aspect. On the other hand, even if Ye Qinglin leads the subsequent war, as long as the Ye clan takes **** revenge against the rebellious clan tribe, Purging, and the general looking for a point of venting beyond cruelty and mental exhaustion, will breed more problems outside the battlefield.

These are not what Chen Hai wants to see.

This time, Chen Hai, Ge Xuanqiao, Miao Mingcheng, and Yue Yiran walked into Yuchi City. Naturally, he personally talked with Zhang Xiong directly about the conditions for persuading surrender.

Zhang Xiongzhuo and Young Master usurped the throne, or imprisoned or killed more than 10,000 of the children of the Ye family and their relatives. It is impossible to tolerate them staying in the Pinglu Oasis without punishment. Xiong and others were imprisoned in Taiwei Mountain, exiled Zhang's children to Montenegro, and asked Zhang Xiong to persuade Zhang Jun, Kong Peng and other rebel generals to give up resistance. These conditions are by no means harsh and cruel.

Chen Hai personally went to the city to persuade surrender, and the conditions for persuading surrender were endorsed by Taiweizong and Demon Temple. Zhang Xiong and other rebel generals had no way to raise any questions, but it took time to consider and sent someone to Zangdan. Feng communicated with Zhang Jun, Kong Peng and other rebel generals...

*

Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao returned to Ye Qinglin's camp safely, while Miao Mingcheng and Yue Yiran went to Zangdan Peak instead of Zhang Xiong to persuade Zhang Jun and Kong Peng to surrender.

Although Zhang Xiong has not yet directly surrendered and the generals are still fully preparing for the siege of the city, Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao can leave the city safely, and everyone knows that Zhang Xiong has the heart to belong.

The mood of the generals of the Ye's royal family is quite complicated.

Don’t talk about Shi Wuying, Jing Yiyuan and others. Even if Zhao Jin, Zhou Yiming, Gu Yanxia, ​​Yang Jinsheng and others later voted for the chiefs of the clan under the Ye clan, they all hope to end this rebellion. It also impressed Chen Hai's pity on the rebels.

Even if the generals of the Ye clan were very dissatisfied, there was no way to express it at this time. They were persuaded to take care of the overall situation. Only a few young generals such as Ye He left the camp angrily.

It is a pity for Ye He to leave the camp angrily. As the most outstanding son of the younger generation of Yeh, he has matured in all aspects after undergoing the tempering of the war, and established his own prestige in the army. , Will re-administer the North and South Army, Ye He is also qualified to take the lead.

Chen Hai knew that persuading surrender would arouse dissatisfaction among many people in the Ye family, but he wanted to include the remnants of the Zhang family, so there was no way to satisfy everyone. Fortunately, the Taiwei Sect and the Demon Temple did not want to see it. It is the situation of Taiweizong and Demon Temple that Taiweizong and the Demon Temple are happy to see the future situation of the Pinglu Oasis when the Ye clan is dominant in the Pinglu Oasis, balanced and mutually restrained.

Two days later, Miao Mingcheng and Yue Yiran returned to Dazhai at the west entrance of Nanjianxia from Zangdan Peak.

Although Zhang Jun and Kong Peng can still gather forty to fifty thousand soldiers and horses west of Zangdan Peak, they also know that the situation is over.

Even without considering the anomaly of Jingjuejun, many clan tribes in Pinglu chose to invest in the arms of the Ye family again. The force of the Ye family’s royal army is growing all the time, and the war resources that can be mobilized are also In the constant expansion, the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom and the Demon Temple, whether bright or dark, will no longer participate in this hopeless war in a short period of time. Zhang Jun and Kong Peng have no more choices at this time.

However, unlike Zhang Xiong, who was besieged in Yuchi City, Zhang Jun and Kong Peng could lead their troops to escape if they could not beat them. The condition they put forward was that Jing Juejun and Ye clan allowed them to lead their troops and Zhang. His direct children and relatives in Tian'ai Mountain moved to Tahe Oasis to end this year-long rebellion.

At this time, many of the rebels who accompanied Zhang Jun to Zangdan Peak and Tian'ai Mountain, Xiqiang King City and other cities were generals who were forced to surrender to the Zhang family when Zhang Xiong rebelled.

Neither Chen Hai nor Ye Qinglin would allow Zhang Jun to take these people away. This will allow Zhang Jun and Kong Peng to lead these generals to counterattack Lu in the future.

Yue Yiran led the disciples of the Demon Temple in the middle ~ IndoMTL.com~ After several negotiations, the final negotiated condition was that Chen Hai and Ye Qinglin agreed that Zhang Jun and Kong Peng could lead the descendants to move west; other concerns The clan tribes who will be purged by the Ye clan can move into Changle City, but under the supervision of the Demon Temple and Taiweizong disciples, it is necessary to ensure that these people move to the Tahe Oasis or Changle City voluntarily rather than under coercion.

Even after the First World War in Yuchi City, the Jing Jue Army and Ye's Royal Family Army had enough strength to sweep the entire Pinglu Oasis, but they still followed the pre-war agreement to allow Changle City to remain relatively independent like Lucheng. status.

Regarding the occupation of Changle City by Heshi and the Demon Temple, Taiweizong was quite dissatisfied, but Chen Hai and Dong Ning resisted the dissatisfaction from Taiweizong under pressure.

Jing Juejun must maintain a relatively independent position. Ye clan should not be allowed to lead his nose, let alone Tai Weizong lead his nose. The future pattern of Pinglu Grand Oasis is played out by Jing Juejun. The right to speak and dominate the dispute must be grasped.

Otherwise, Jing Juejun will completely become a vassal of Taiweizong——Although the Ye clan hates the Demon Temple, he also knows that the power of the Demon Temple is completely expelled from the Pinglu Oasis. Shi is not at all advantageous, so he kept silent on this matter. . .
