Xiu Jie was reorganizing the soldiers who had just surrendered. When he saw Mo Qifei coming over, he put down what he was doing with a smile, walked over and said, "The battle is over so soon?"
"That's right," Mo Qifei turned around slightly, pointed at He Xiqing and said, "Your Battalion Commander He was too powerful and quickly captured Kang Taizhao."
Xiujie walked a few steps, looked at the tied Kang Taizhao, and said, "Are you willing to hand over Zhenluo to me?"
Kang Taizhao lost his temper long ago and said: "What can I do if I don't want to? You have already captured me. You can capture me as long as you send troops into the town."
"With your help, it will be easier to control the town." Xiu Jie said.
Failure to surrender may lead to death. Kang Taizhao said: "Since Xiu Zhen Gong can use my place, I am naturally willing to join Xiu Zhen Gong and do my part for Xiu Zhen Gong."
"Okay, let's loosen the ties." Xiu Jie shouted, and two soldiers nearby stepped forward and loosened the rope that tied Kang Taizhao.
"From now on, we will be one of our own," He Xiqing said.
"Commander He is more powerful than me." Kang Taizhao said with a hint of shame.
"Stop talking politely," Xiu Jie said, "Hurry up and prepare a notice to transfer Keti Town to Roy Town."
"Yes, Lord Town." Kang Taizhao went to prepare the documents.
Mo Qifei smiled and said: "Thanks to Duke Xiu this time, don't forget our agreement not to attack my town."
"That depends on your future performance." Xiu Jie smiled faintly at Mo Qifei, then turned to He Xiqing and said, "We are going back to Roy Town."
"yes."
Mo Qifei watched Xiu Jie lead the army away from his territory, slowly put away his smile, turned back to the town office with a gloomy face.
Recently, the weather has not been very good. The continuous drizzle has turned the wilderness into shallow depressions, making it difficult to march on the muddy road.
In Sesha Town, Jiang Yuxuan braved the drizzle and ran a few steps across the yard to his residence in Luofeng Town.
There were two soldiers at the door of the house. When they saw Jiang Yuxuan coming, they quickly called: "Jiang Siguan."
Jiang Yuxuan nodded and asked, "Is the mayor here?"
"Yes." A soldier replied.
"Okay," Jiang Yuxuan pushed open the door of Luo Feng's room, entered the living room, and shouted: "Gong Zhen."
Luo Feng was in the room. When he heard Jiang Yuxuan coming, he knew something was important and hurriedly walked out of the room and said, "Yuxuan is here, sit down quickly."
Luo Feng took a kettle, poured a glass of water for Jiang Yuxuan, and said, "If you come to me even if it's raining, something must be wrong. Tell me quickly."
Jiang Yuxuan smiled and said, "I really can't hide it from the town master. There is indeed something going on."
Jiang Yuxuan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, put it down, and continued: "It has been raining continuously in the past few days, and the water level in a reservoir near Sisen Town has risen. As long as we send troops to dig out the reservoir, the water will flow through the gap. If it surges down, it can submerge Sisen Town in just a moment."
"This movement is too big," Luo Feng exclaimed, "many villagers will die."
"Indeed, but Sisen Town can be easily captured." Jiang Yuxuan said.
Luo Feng pondered for a moment and said resolutely: "No, if the water from the reservoir rushes down, all the villagers in Sisen Town will suffer, absolutely not."
Seeing Luo Feng's persistence, Jiang Yuxuan said: "In that case, fine, the town can send people to occupy the reservoir and order people to notify the villagers of Sisen Town to stay away from Sisen Town, give them one day to evacuate, and release the water one day later."
Hearing that the villagers could evacuate, Luo Feng felt relieved and said, "This can reduce the casualties of the villagers."
"Prince Zhen," Jiang Yuxuan said, "One advantage of doing this is that it can alleviate people's resentment and help the Duke unify Zhongzhou in the future."
"Then you still call me Shuiyan Sison Town." Luo Feng stared at Jiang Yuxuan in confusion.
Jiang Yuxuan smiled and said: "There are three ways to unify Zhongzhou. One is domineering, the second is benevolent, and the third is kingly."
"Which category do I belong to?" Luo Feng asked.
Jiang Yuxuan said: "The tyranny of the Duke is not as good as Xiujie, the benevolence is not as good as Meng Shuyi, and the kingliness is not as good as Ma Heng."
After Luo Feng heard this, he looked at Jiang Yuxuan with confusion on his face, "So there is no hope for me to unify Zhongzhou?"
Jiang Yuxuan shook his head and said: "These are just fixed definitions, too rigid, but the Zhengong and the benevolent king are combined in one, with both strength and softness, kindness and power. Only when the Zhengong unifies the Central Continent, can the villagers live and work in peace and contentment and live a happy life."
"Whether we can unify Zhongzhou depends on you." Luo Feng said with a smile.
Jiang Yuxuan and Luo Feng chatted casually for a while and said, "Zhen Gong, it's time to hold a military meeting to prepare for the capture of Sisen Town."
"Okay," Luo Feng clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Immediately notify the military meeting tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll inform everyone right away." Jiang Yuxuan left the office and went to inform Zhang Xuli and others.
In the western part of the Central Continent, after Tan Shidao was defeated by Zhang Shunxiao, he led his army all the way to the vicinity of Keli Town.
Looking at the boundary stone on the side of the road, Tan Shidao stepped forward, touched the profound word "Keli" on the boundary stone with his hand, and lamented: "We once resisted Zhang Shunxiao together, but now only Keli is left to suppress it. I know if Mei Fa will take me in."
"Zhen Gong." A soldier ran forward and said: "The Zhen Gong of Keli Town, Mei Fa Chang, wants to see you."
Hearing the word "Mei Fa Chang", Tan Shidao's face kept rising and falling, and finally he said in a slightly excited tone: "Let's go, lead the way."
Tan Shidao followed the soldier to the front of the army.
When Mei Fachang saw Tan Shidao coming out, he shouted: "Tan Town Duke, I heard that you were passing by here, so I came here to greet you."
Tan Shidao walked quickly, arrived in front of Mei Fachang, and said, "I have been defeated by Zhang Shunxiao. I didn't expect that Mei Zhengong could still come to greet me."
"That's right," Mei Fachang said: "We are a front, allies who once resisted Zhang Shunxiao together."
Tan Shidao lowered his head and sighed in shame: "Now we are no longer eligible for the alliance."
"It doesn't matter if we lose our territory and can't form an alliance. We can take a step closer," Mei Fachang took Tan Shidao's hand and said, "I hope you can join us and resist Zhang Shunxiao. The position of flag commander is reserved for you."
Tan Shidao felt bad about being inferior to others, but now he had nowhere to go, and if he became a wandering army, there would be no future. After thinking about it, it was better to be a flag commander. Tan Shidao said: "Thank you very much, Lord Town. I, Tan Shidao, am willing." Join Keli Town, treat Keli Town as your own town, and never have second thoughts.”
"Okay, let's go, hahaha." Mei Fachang smiled and pulled Tan Shidao into the town.
Sesha Town was settled, and Luo Feng held a military meeting in the office.
Luo Feng sat on the town official's seat, facing Jiang Yuxuan and others, and said: "It has rained continuously recently and the roads are muddy and difficult to walk. However, there is a large reservoir in Sisen Town. The reservoir is bottomless. Legend has it that it is beyond the sky. A huge hole was formed when a rock fell, and after continuous water accumulation, the current reservoir was formed.”
