Outside Lidu City.
More than a hundred cavalry hurried scouts finally arrived in front of the city gate. Just seeing Kang Shuo's face at the top of the city, his face instantly became ecstatic.
He could recognize that the leader was the general who was at the side of Zuo Shiren.
"General Zhou Bai! General Zhou Bai is finally here!" Just thinking that the information had finally been delivered, Kang Shuo hurriedly hurried to the bottom of the city wall.
"Those damn Shu people have been using cunning tactics during this time -"
When they got down to the city gate, Kang Shuo's voice suddenly stopped. Because he found that beside Zhou Bai, General Yu Wen of Western Shu was also fighting shoulder to shoulder.
"General Zhou Bai?" Kang Shuo trembled and vaguely guessed something.
"General Kang... My lord, my lord has an order. Li Ducheng's army is asking for surrender to Western Shu... General Kang can only take three thousand people and return to Wuzhou. This is my lord's personal letter and a token."
Kang Shuo's eyes were full of fear, he was still guarding. Even though the Shu people used many tricks, he did not fall into the trap and kept guarding Lidu City. This...how come they suddenly negotiated and surrendered?
After opening the letter that was handed over and looking at it a few more times, Kang Shuo felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The crippled military advisor of Western Shu did not intend to attack Lidu City, but used a trick to trap him and an army of 60,000 to 70,000 people in Lidu City!
Kang Shuo was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.
"My brother died in battle on the river, and his body has been sent back to Wuzhou for a good burial... General Kang, the overall situation is our top priority."
Kang Shuo closed his eyes in pain. After only a long while, when he opened his eyes again, he looked at Yu Wen fiercely.
"With the order of half a stick of incense, if Li Ducheng does not surrender, he will be surrounded and killed immediately! At this point, the people of Ling have no faith, and the Western Shu army entered Wuzhou and captured Zuo Shiren alive!" Yu Wen, who was wearing armor, was not afraid at all. Looking at Kang Shuo, he ordered coldly.
Around Lidu City, the troops from the Nanhai League and Xishu who came over were already ready.
"General Kang, don't do this. The Lord's request for peace and surrender has been known to the world. Could it be that General Kang really wants to destroy the entire Dongling!" Zhou Bai's face was full of anxiety.
Although there are still 60,000 to 70,000 people in Lidu City, the Shu people have already prepared various means if they dare to persuade them to surrender like this.
"Remove armor!" Yu Wen shouted coldly.
"Remove the armor, remove the armor!" The same angry voices echoed throughout the mountains and plains. It was accompanied by the sound of siege equipment pushing forward.
In Li Du City, an atmosphere of panic suddenly enveloped the entire army. Without knowing the information in the city and staying for a long time without fighting, morale was already low. Now I see Shu people all over the mountains and plains again, and I am even more shocked.
I'm afraid that if the news of Kang Zhu's death spreads again, the entire morale will almost collapse.
Kang Shuo understood this very well. He gritted his teeth and was still thinking.
"Kang Shuo, do you recognize me?"
Kang Shuo looked up and found that Fei Xiu, the leader of the Mufeng tribe, had walked out of the Shu camp at some unknown time.
"My son Feifu was loyal, brave and righteous, but he died unjustly at the hands of his colleagues. And the governor, Miao Tong, had his whole family beheaded!"
Fei Xiu burst into tears and screamed angrily under Li Du City in front of countless defenders.
"Old leader, you are talking nonsense!"
"Ask them!" Behind Fefu, many sea people and a few respected Shanyue people walked out.
"The King of Shu has said that when you enter Western Shu, there will be a place to live regardless of whether it is over the sea or over the mountains. My Lord Xu Mu will do what he says. Don't you see the southern barbarians in Shuzhou, the Ke tribe in Bingzhou, and the outsiders in Liangzhou?" The Qiang people all have some time to recuperate and recuperate.”
"For two years, my lord will exempt the Yue people from taxes, and will not recruit Shanyue people into the army."
Compared with Zuo Shiren's brutal military force, Xu Mu's measures were clearly more popular.
"If you don't surrender, you will be punished as a rebel!"
"Please take off your armor!"
"Remove armor!"
"Warriors of the Mufeng tribe, get out of the city!" Under Fei Xiu's call, six to seven thousand people from the Mufeng tribe quickly abandoned their weapons and armor and walked out of Lidu City without saying a word.
As if they were infected, countless Shanyue people also removed their armor and followed the Mufeng tribe out of the city.
Kang Shuo's body was shaking, but he was unable to stop it.
The general trend of Xishu has been achieved, and the layout outside Lidu City is even more layered.
"Xishui Tribe, follow me back to Wuzhou!" Kang Shuo gritted his teeth and shouted angrily. It's a pity that in the end, only more than two thousand Shanyue troops gathered.
Not wanting to wait any longer, Kang Shuo let out a cry of sadness, remembering his brother's past glory again, his face full of unwillingness and loss.
"The people of Shu destroyed my home, and I waited for An Neng to become a thief!" On Lidu City, a Dongling staff member shouted angrily with a burst of courage.
"Warriors in the south and north, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy! Otherwise, you should be like an old dog, with your tail between your legs, nestling in the old mountains with your family, and you can be safe and sound all your life." Yu Wen raised his hand and shouted.
"After joining us in Western Shu, two years later, all of you can join the army! You will be promoted with military merit! There are barbarian king Meng Huo in Western Shu, and the general Chao Yi of the Ke tribe. They are all promoted to the rank of general step by step with military merit. Furthermore, regardless of the Yue people, Barbarians who join our army in Western Shu will all be paid the same rate!"
"Over the South China Sea, our leader Ruan Qiu is willing to follow the King of Shu to compete for the throne with all of our clansmen!" Ruan Qiu came out of the queue and bowed deeply in the direction of Li Ducheng.
"The Mufeng Tribe is also waiting for you warriors." Feif also handed over.
…
"In the past, the great ancestor of the Ji Dynasty borrowed 50,000 barbarian soldiers to conquer the world. Now, we in Western Shu are waiting to be reborn and unify the south of the Yangtze River. We are willing to recruit loyal and courageous people from all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River to fight against the enemies in the north. King Xu Mu of Shu, please be kind and brave. "Xu Mu suddenly walked out and bowed calmly to Li Ducheng.
At this time, the entire Lidu City suddenly became more commotion. A majestic king of Western Shu lowered his posture like this just to surrender them.
"Zihai tribe, get out of the city!" Not long after, a bearded Shanyue general raised his arms and shouted.
"The Koala Tribe is also leaving the city!"
"Lishui Tribe——"
…
In the huge Lidu City, the only people who had not taken off their armor were the more than 20,000 Dongling soldiers. You look at me and I look at you, both of them look terrified.
"Don't surrender!" The previous staff member was still trying to stop him, "Don't forget, we are the real Dongling people and we will fight to the death until we surrender!"
"My lord Zuo Shiren has a reputation for benevolence in the world. If the Shu people had not used treacherous tactics, how could they have been defeated -"
Bang.
An arrow shot directly into the forehead of the staff member. After only a moment's pause, the staff member's body fell from the top of the city, shocking the people around him and retreating continuously.
"Your lord Zuo Shiren, if you were truly benevolent and righteous, why would you use the weak and old in the flesh army?" Xu Mu said coldly. There were continuous battles in the south of the Yangtze River. First there was the Demon Queen and then Zuo Shiren. The troops in Western Shu were already insufficient. He wanted to take these Shanyue people and even the more than 20,000 Dongling soldiers under his command.
This is why he has never let Zuo Shiren get involved in Li Ducheng's affairs.
"Everyone, I just want to say one thing. I, Xu Mu, have been around since I was young. In all these years, have you ever heard of rebels in Western Shu?"
"No. In the whole of Western Shu, the only thing is the support of the people, the soldiers will die in service, and the army and the people will conquer the world together. One day, our parents will be happy, our wives and children will have food, and we will live our lives in vain!"
"Those who remove their armor will enter Western Shu together!"
Suddenly, in Lidu City, more and more sounds of armor removal slowly began to resound.
