Seeing that Lu Ji was killed, Xiang Duan Tian did not dare to fight anymore and led the troops around him to fight out.
When Beigong Jueji saw Xiang Duan Tian running away, he chased after him with his army and blocked Xiang Duan Tian's way.
After fighting Duan Tian for a while, he found that he could not break out. Chen Zishu's troops were all around him. Not far away, Beigong Jueji's bows and arrows were already pointing at him.
With a "clang" sound, the weapon fell to the ground, he opened his hands to Duan Tian and shouted: "Stop fighting, surrender."
The fighting slowly stopped, the surrendered troops were collected, and the battlefield was cleared. Chen Zishu ordered people to bring Xiang Duan Tian up.
Xiang Duantian's hands were tied, and he was escorted by several soldiers to Chen Zishu.
Chen Zishu looked at Xiang Duan Tian for a while and asked, "If I don't kill you, will you do something for me?"
The moment he chose to give up resistance and surrender, Xiang Duan Tian had no choice but to let Chen Zishu decide.
Now that he heard that he was not going to kill himself, he immediately said to Duan Tian: "Heroes are established in the world just to build a reputation. Now that City Lord Lu is dead, if City Lord Chen can respect him, I will do his best."
Seeing Duan Tian's sincerity, Chen Zishu said: "Okay, as long as I surrender sincerely, I will never treat you badly. I will appoint you as the battalion commander now, and I will raise the flag to the commander after you have made meritorious service."
"Thank you City Lord." He immediately thanked Duan Tian.
Returning to Tiya City, Chen Zishu sent Zhu Baotong to Pusa City to discuss with Huo Ziyou, and then issued a notice calling each other lords.
Jiang Yuxuan received the news that Chen Zishu and Huo Ziyou called each other lord in the office. He looked at the map hanging on the wall and figured it out carefully.
Luo Feng walked to the door of Jiang Yuxuan's office and saw Jiang Yuxuan studying the map. He walked in and said, "Jiang Shangguan, have you received the news?"
Hearing Luo Feng's voice, Jiang Yuxuan immediately raised his head, turned around, walked up to Luo Feng and said, "City Lord, you are here."
Luo Feng nodded, walked to a chair and sat down, and said: "Now the powerful ones are called lords. According to Tuoba's news, the Lupo City army that was eliminated by you last time, their city lords will also be called lords. .”
Jiang Yuxuan walked to the map, pointed at it and said: "There are now more than twenty forces occupying the Central Continent, most of them are called lords, and there are also a few city lords. I am afraid they will be annexed sooner or later. As for Lupo City, He Zhangwen, even if you claim to be a lord, you won't be able to stir up trouble. The mountains there are rolling, the land is sparsely populated, and the resources are scarce, so there is nothing to worry about."
"It seems that we also have to call ourselves lords." Luo Feng said with enlightenment.
Jiang Yuxuan nodded deeply and said, "We really need to step up our planning for future development. If we delay it any longer, it will be too late."
After Xiujie returned to Roy City, Guo Wuchen, the lord of Houshuang City in the north, brought several carts of resources to the Lord's Mansion.
In the council hall, Xiujie was sitting facing south, walking down the stairs, with Fu Tuo and others standing on the left and right sides.
Guo Wuchen stood below and said to Xiu Jie who was sitting in the seat: "Congratulations to the lord on winning the city of Essai. I specially brought resources to congratulate you today."
The entire southwest is already in Xiujie's hands, and Xiujie doesn't like these few resources.
"During this period, you have been working hard to contain Zhang Shunxiao in the north. You can keep the resources for your own use."
Hearing Xiu Jie's tone, Futuo immediately understood, took two steps and said, "Lord, now we have sufficient resources and the entire southwest has been unified. Now we can only go north."
When he heard that he was heading north, Guo Wuchen's face was shocked and sweat broke out from his forehead.
"Lord, the roads to Thousand Frost City are open to the lord at any time."
Xiujie glanced at Futuo and motioned for Futuo to continue.
Futuo understood what Xiu Jie meant and continued: "This is too troublesome. City Lord Guo, instead of doing this, it would be better for City Lord Guo to temporarily settle down in Roy City, and Houshuang City will be managed by us first. This is more convenient. .”
"Futuo." Guo Wuchen was furious when he heard this, pointed at Futuo and shouted: "How could you come up with such a bad idea."
Xiujie listened and laughed and said: "Hehehe, City Lord Guo, don't be angry. I think Futuo's idea is good. Anyway, you are still the City Lord, and Houshuang City is still yours. Live here with peace of mind, and wait until I kill Zhang Shunxiao, and then Return Thousand Frost City to you."
Guo Wuchen was originally wary of Roy City's power, so he thought of proactively sending resources to Xiujie to avoid being beaten, but he didn't expect that he would end up in the tiger's mouth instead. If I fight hard now, I'm afraid I'll be killed. Even if I go back, I won't be able to withstand Xiu Jie's army.
Guo Wuchen could only sigh and said: "Lord, please don't take charge of me anymore. I will surrender directly to the lord."
After getting a city in vain, Xiujie laughed happily: "Hahaha, it's enough if this is the case. As long as you sincerely join our Roy City, I will never treat you badly."
"Thank you, Lord." Guo Wuchen thanked him.
Lan Yao stepped forward and said: "Lord, City Lord Guo is also the Lord of a city. He surrendered voluntarily and set an example. I suggest that Lord Guo retain his position as City Lord and stay in our Roy City for the time being."
"This is a good suggestion." Xiu Jie said, "City Lord Guo, you are still the City Lord, and your treatment remains unchanged."
Although he was still the lord of the city, he no longer had military power, only administrative power. What's more, he still stayed in Roy City and even the administrative power was gone. Guo Wuchen was unhappy in his heart, but he had no choice but to thank him again.
In Red Maple City, Zhang Shunxiao heard that Guo Wuchen had returned to Xiujie and was furious: "Damn Guo Wuchen, if I had known, I would have captured Houshuang City first."
Hong Fengliu was sitting in Zhang Shunxiao's office. Seeing Zhang Shunxiao's anger, he said: "Lord, we don't have the energy to pay attention to the affairs of Houshuang City now. The army of Lado City in the east has gathered in Sanya City, which is putting great pressure on us."
Mentioning Lado City, Zhang Shunxiao looked unhappy: "If Kang Zuo dares to enter our territory, we will never let him go back alive."
Kang Zuo is the lord of Lado City. He is in his forties. He is very handsome and looks like a scholar. However, he has become a hero through training. His combat power is much higher than that of ordinary people. However, compared with Zhang Shunxiao, he is naturally far behind. .
Hong Fengliu would not mention Lado City alone, but Xiujie in the south has expanded his territory to the nearby area and can attack Hongfeng City from Houshuang City at any time.
Hong Fengliu said: "City Lord, our biggest enemy now is Xiu Jie, so we must concentrate our combat power to defend the south. Kang Zuo will never attack us as long as he sends some resources."
When he heard that he was going to give Kang Zuo resources for nothing, Zhang Shunxiao said angrily with a straight face: "Why, it's not enough for him to give me resources, so he won't give them to me."
Seeing that Zhang Shunxiao was unable to get in, Hong Fengliu could only say: "In this case, the lord only needs to deploy his troops in the south to prevent Xiujie. I am going to go to Lado City to see Kang Zuo and see if I can Let them retreat."
Now that the war is raging, it is already dangerous to leave the city, let alone go to other cities to meet the city lord.
