After Valens shouted the order to surrender, he shook his head as if he had completely lost his energy.
Behind him, a crashing sound came out.
Groups of soldiers threw away their weapons.
All Roman soldiers laid down their weapons.
One by one, they knelt on the ground.
However, many people still covered the pockets of their clothes, or quickly hid the gold cakes and gold on their bodies in the linings. Otherwise, when it comes under control later, the gold will be confiscated.
When the Roman soldiers moved quickly, Lu Xuan waved, and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others had already led the army to surround them, quickly confiscated their weapons, and quickly controlled the Roman soldiers.
The soldiers of the Ming army also quickly reported the discovery of gold.
The news reached Gao Shun's ears and was reported to Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan directly ordered: "All gold will be collected as public property, and then the generals and officers in the army will be rewarded in turn according to their respective merits."
Gao Shun made arrangements.
The control of the Roman soldiers was ongoing, and at the same time, all the gold from the Roman soldiers was also confiscated.
Although the Roman soldiers were dissatisfied, and some even resisted and were unwilling to hand over the gold, after facing the iron fist of the Ming army soldiers, all the uncooperative Roman soldiers became honest and cooperated honestly one by one.
Lu Xuan also brought Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others to the front of Valens, Libius, Split and others.
Valens was still on horseback.
Lu Xuan stared at Valens, his eyes slightly cold, which made Valens tremble unconsciously. He originally wanted to put on airs, but facing Lu Xuan's eyes, Valens consciously turned over and dismounted. He knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Valens, the Grand Duke of the Roman Empire, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor."
Libius said: "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor."
Split also dismounted. The position where he knelt was at the front of Valens and Libius, closest to Lu Xuan. When Split knelt down to salute, he raised his head to look at Lu Xuan, but he suddenly got angry, took out a dagger in his hand, jumped directly, and killed Lu Xuan.
"Emperor Dog, go to hell."
Split roared loudly.
He did not want Valens to surrender, because the Valens family who surrendered would definitely be deprived of everything by Her Majesty the Queen.
The Valens family is gone. For the same reason, the Valens family members will also be gone. They will all be disposed of, or executed, or sold to other families and become members of other families.
This means that people from the Split family will also be dealt with.
So Split took action.
However, Split was fast, and Xu Chu was even faster. As the person whose duty was to protect Lu Xuan's safety, Xu Chu rushed in front of Lu Xuan's horse in an instant, pulled out the sword at his waist and stabbed it out.
Split is a dagger, very short.
Xu Chu's weapon is a sword, which has a sharp edge and is longer.
Before Split's dagger could get close to Lu Xuan, Xu Chu had already hit Valens' chest armor with his sword.
It gradually became dull for a moment.
The next moment, there was only a thud as the tip of the sword pierced Split's heart and penetrated the heart.
The moment Xu Chu drew his sword back, he kicked it out.
boom! !
The sole of his foot hit Split's body.
Blood flowed from Split's mouth. Split raised his head and fell to the ground. His body twitched twice and then lost his breath.
Xu Chu looked around, his expression cold and murderous.
This kind of momentum made Valens afraid.
Valens cursed Split in his heart for choosing to assassinate him at this time, which made his situation very embarrassing.
Valens mourned Split's death in his heart.
But, he was also very angry.
What should he do?
Valens put a smile on his face, looked at Lu Xuan, and said: "Your Majesty, Split made all this without authorization, and I didn't know it at all. From the beginning to the end, I never thought about it. Let him assassinate."
Libius was also very nervous and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, it's true. We have never thought of assassinating you. All of this was done by Split without authorization and he was self-righteous."
Both Valens and Libius were very nervous.
They are all worried about being implicated.
Lu Xuan had no intention of killing Valens for the time being, and smiled and said, "I believe in you." "
call! !
Valens breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly kowtowed and thanked him. Fortunately, Lu Xuan did not express his anger. Otherwise, once he was angered, he would suffer a big loss this time.
Lu Xuan waved his hand, and soldiers stepped forward to control Valens. At the same time, a large number of troops controlled the Roman soldiers, and Zhang Ren also came from the rear, leading people to join Lu Xuan's army.
When the two sides met, there were some minor incidents, that is, soldiers composed of ordinary people from Tianzhu were unwilling to stop and continued to kill the Roman soldiers in order to rob them of the gold.
Zhang Ren directly killed a group of people to scare the Tianzhu people and stabilize the situation.
After everything was stable, Lu Xuan led people into the city.
After returning to Surudha City, everyone had settled down. It was already early in the evening.
Lu Xuan handed over the matter to Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang Ren and Chen Dao, and took a rest himself.
At about three o'clock the next morning, Lu Xuan got up and washed up. After breakfast, he braced himself to deal with government affairs. Zhang Liaocai came with Gao Shun and others. The expressions on each of their faces were very exciting.
Zhang Liao was the first to report: "Your Majesty, in the battle last night, we won a complete victory without spending a single soldier. Yesterday, our own soldiers did not suffer any casualties, mainly because some of the Tianzhu people mobilized by General Zhang Ren died. , but the losses are not big.”
"The number of Roman soldiers killed was more than 1,300, and they were all killed by Tianzhu soldiers. The number of Roman soldiers captured was more than 30,000, and not a single Roman soldier survived."
"The most important thing is that this time we captured Valens, the Grand Duke of Rome."
Zhang Liao said excitedly: "This battle is a complete victory."
Lu Xuan praised: "This time, it was indeed a good fight. Zhang Ren's actions in the city are indispensable."
Zhang Ren looked modest and said: "Your Majesty is very grateful. It is also your Majesty's prestige that I can move smoothly. If it were not for Your Majesty to overwhelm the Tianzhu people and defeating Valens, it would be impossible for the Tianzhu people to obey the arrangement."
Lu Xuan said: "Overall, we won this battle. Next, we can calmly face the reinforcements from the Roman Empire from Tianzhu."
Zhang Liao took the words and said: "Your Majesty, Valens wants to see you."
Lu Xuan waved his hands and said: "You all go about your business and reorganize the army. At the same time, Guan Yu is ordered to escort all the prisoners and return to Suraduo City. I will see Valens now."
"Here!"
Everyone agreed and left.
Lu Xuan waited. After a while, Valens was brought over. He was now in custody, with his hands and feet tied up and unable to move.
Valens' armor was stripped off.
He also changed into the most ordinary clothes.
Now, Valens looked in a miserable state. He no longer had any brilliance, only embarrassment and dejection remained. There was no luster in his eyes, only longing remained. He knelt on the ground with a plop and said loudly: "Valens, pay homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor."
Lu Xuan looked at Valens who was kneeling on the ground and said: "Valens, I didn't really believe what you said about the situation of the Roman Empire before. However, I would like to know about the situation of the Queen of the Roman Empire. Let's talk about it. .”
Valens said quickly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the queen of the Roman Empire is Her Majesty Queen Victoria. She is a noble from the island of Great Britain. She married into the Roman Empire and became the king's princess."
"After the king's death, Princess Victoria received the support of the Senate and became the first queen of the Roman Empire."
"Queen Victoria's methods are very powerful."
"He took power with the help of the Senate, and then supported more people to destroy the original Senate people, and supported his own people to take control of the Senate. Her Majesty the Queen is now very powerful and can already control the Roman Empire .”
Valens's eyes also showed unprecedented longing, and even a touch of envy.
With pious eyes, he said: "Her Majesty Queen Victoria is divine, beautiful, and infinitely charming. Moreover, Her Majesty's intelligence is unprecedented. Her development of commerce led to the unprecedented development of the Roman Empire."
"The place is very prosperous."
"Nobles from all countries support Her Majesty the Queen and obey Her Majesty's orders."
"When people from the Roman Empire went to sea, all this was promoted by Her Majesty the Queen. Because of Her Majesty's presence, we were able to go to sea in large numbers, and our business became more prosperous."
Valens was talking nonchalantly, and he suddenly looked at Lu Xuan again and said, "Your Majesty, I do not deny that you are the most powerful emperor. Your cavalry is very elite. However, I want to tell you What you want is that the strength of the Roman Empire is far beyond your imagination. Once the entire Roman Empire's army sends troops, you will definitely not be able to stop it."
Lu Xuan laughed and asked, "How old is the Victoria you mentioned now?"
Valens was stunned for a moment.
Lu Xuan asked what this meant?
Lu Xuan further asked: "Why, haven't you seen it and don't know about it?"
Valens immediately said: "Of course I have met Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty the Queen should be twenty-seven or eighty years old now. You must know that when Her Majesty the Queen rose, she was not yet twenty years old, and she had just married the king of the Roman Empire. Human. However, she is extremely smart and has unimaginable intelligence and wisdom."
Lu Xuan leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "You said, I destroyed the Roman Empire, how about snatching her away and becoming my woman?"
boom! !
Valens' mind seemed to explode.
Everyone was shocked.
Extremely surprised.
He never thought that Lu Xuan would be so courageous, that he would dare to molest Her Majesty the Queen, and even dare to say such crazy words.
Valens was also a little excited. He said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have to solemnly tell you once again that Her Majesty the Queen is unique. Her Majesty the Queen's intelligence and wisdom are unmatched and comparable to any man. Even though you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you cannot be the opponent of Her Majesty the Queen."
Lu Xuan said with a smile: "Then we'll see."
Valens noticed Lu Xuan's expression.
He had a ridiculous feeling in his heart. Lu Xuan was too bold. However, when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly felt that the Ming Dynasty where Lu Xuan lived was also more powerful than ever before.
Lu Xuan is also more powerful than ever before.
This time, he occupied Suratra City, which originally had an advantage.
But the advantages were stripped away bit by bit.
Valens licked his dry lips and said: "Your Majesty, the Roman Empire and the Ming Empire are in the west and in the east. They are two different countries. In fact, they are the best for peaceful coexistence. If you are willing, I am willing to serve as a mediator and return to the Roman Empire to convey your concept of peace for you."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "I don't need peace. What I want is to destroy the Roman Empire and capture Victoria."
"No way," Valens said.
Lu Xuan said: "Nothing in the world is difficult except for those who are determined. As long as they are ambitious, they can naturally do it step by step. For example, now, Tianzhu is under the control of my Ming Dynasty, and your army has also been defeated. I will soon. Towards the Roman Empire."
Lu Xuan stared at Valens and asked: "Now, will you submit to me as my person, or will you continue to be loyal to Victoria?"
Without even thinking about it, Valens said quickly: "I am willing to surrender."
In his mind, he was thinking of pretending to surrender first.
First, deal with it to stabilize Lu Xuan.
Later, when he found an opportunity, he took the opportunity to escape from Surudha City and he was able to escape.
Lu Xuan smiled half-heartedly, looked at Valens in front of him, and asked, "Are you really willing to surrender?"
"willing!"
Valens replied decisively.
Lu Xuan said: "If you surrender to me, you will become an enemy of the Roman Empire and the people of the Roman Empire. Are you really willing to do anything to be loyal to me?"
"willing!"
Valens answered without hesitation.
He thought very clearly that he should surrender first and then think about other things.
Lu Xuan laughed and said: "You surrender to me. I appreciate your knowledge of current affairs very much. In this case, I will accept you. Next, I will declare war on the Roman Empire and release a Roman soldier back." "
"I will tell these soldiers about your surrender to the Ming Dynasty and regard you as a model of surrender to the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, I will ask them to go back and tell Queen Victoria that I will invade Europe, destroy Rome, capture Victoria, and make him my woman. "
boom! ! !
Valens' mind was completely fried.
Everyone was confused.
He wanted to deal with Lu Xuan, but according to Lu Xuan's arrangement, he made the lie come true. Once the news spreads back to the country, not only will countless people in the country hate him and want to kill him, but Her Majesty the Queen will probably be the first to destroy his family.
Valens looked at Lu Xuan with extremely fearful eyes, and his body was trembling slightly.
