Volume 10 Chapter 369

The Zhen Kingdom is barren, and the level of poverty is even far worse than that of the Feng Kingdom. During the war, the court could not afford the huge military expenses, so there was a tradition of the Zhen army plundering the spoils and keeping them for themselves. This is also to support war with war. Typical style.

However, the Baizhan Army now belongs to the Feng Kingdom, and they can receive fixed military pay every month. The soldiers have a stable and generous income. Chen Xiu and others have their reasons for proposing to hand over the spoils of war.

Regarding this matter, Nie Ze refused to allow it. The two sides argued and argued with no result. In the end, Nie Ze could only express his position. Now everything in Bai Zhan Army is done according to the tradition of Zhen Army. If there are any differences, wait for Please let the king decide when he arrives.

He said this, Chen Xiu and others couldn't rape him any more, so the matter was settled for the time being.

In the battle of Baitu City, the Baizhan Army won a complete victory, and the casualties of the entire army were not large. For Feng Kingdom, it was a great joy to have its own battle flag unfurled in victory. The morale of other legions was also greatly encouraged and extremely high, but For Mo State, it was undoubtedly like a head-on blow. The Zeping County defense line that had been painstakingly managed was easily torn open by the Feng Army. The next battle may be much more difficult than imagined.

The leader of Mo's central army stationed in Zeping County is Lieutenant General Yuan Cheng. He is the cousin of General Li Jin. He has some real talents and knowledge, and is not a general person who climbed up through connections.

The disastrous defeat in Bai Tu City left Yuan Cheng on pins and needles. He had no idea how to resist the wolf-like Hundred Battle Army next.

When discussing countermeasures with his soldiers, Yuan Cheng couldn't help but lament in public, and said quietly: "Feng Kingdom's Hundred-War Army is actually the Zhen Army. The Zhen Army's bravery is unparalleled in the world, and there are as many as 400,000 people. This... this How about letting me be handsome!"

The Mo generals below looked at each other, and no one dared to answer. The combat power of the Zhen Army was there for everyone to see. The city defense of Bai Tu City was so strong and there were 80,000 elite men stationed there. However, the Zhen Army did not even use half a day to completely capture Bai Tu City. Such a powerful legion is no longer something that our current strength can contend with.

At this moment, a counselor below stood up, raised his hand to Yuan Cheng and said: "General, although the Bai Zhan Army is strong, it is not invincible. First, the general can send an eloquent person to Bai Zhan Army." Zhan Jun, persuade his general Nie Ze to surrender. Bai Zhanjun is a Zhen man. If they can join Feng Country, why can’t they switch to our Mo Country?”

Yuan Cheng's eyes lit up at first, then he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to persuade the Hundred War Army to switch sides!"

"That's right! If we can successfully persuade the Bai Zhan Army to surrender, that would be great. Even if we can't, it's no big deal. Now that the Bai Zhan Army has captured Bai Tu City, we need to advance towards Jin Pan and pass through Jin Pan. , is Panling, this place is steep, the general can take advantage of the favorable terrain to fight with the Bai Zhan Army. In this battle, our army will fight if we can, and retreat if we can't, so as to attract the Bai Zhan Army to pursue us. After successfully leading the Bai Zhan Army into the hinterland of Zeping County and cutting off its supply and retreat, no matter how powerful it is, it will collapse without fighting and become a slave to others!" The counselor who spoke was named Shen Yuan, and he was a disciple of Yuan Cheng! , is also one of his most important think tanks.

After listening to Shen Yuan's eloquent talk, Yuan Cheng felt quite enlightened. He nodded his head and responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, this is a great plan!" After speaking, he looked around the crowd and asked: " What do you think of what Mr. Shen said?”

Everyone raised their hands and said, "What Mr. Shen said is absolutely true. The general can follow Mr. Shen's strategy!"

"Yes!" The audience also said the same. Yuan Cheng nodded his head. He took a deep breath, stood up, and said seriously: "If we can defeat the Hundred War Army in one fell swoop in this battle, then I and the generals will also Become famous in one battle and enjoy endless glory in the future. If this battle fails, you and I... will not be able to return to Zhenjiang to see the king. "

All the generals also stood up, stepped in and saluted: "General, don't worry, I will live and die with the general, advance and retreat together, and fight the enemy to the death!"

Jinpan City is located in the south of Baitu City, more than 200 miles away from Baitu City. When Nie Ze, commanding hundreds of armies, arrived in Jinpan City in a mighty manner, he captured the city without any fighting and without any bloodshed.

Before the Hundreds of War Army arrived, this place was already an empty city. Not only the defenders had completely withdrawn, but also all the people in the city had fled.

Although the Bai Zhan Army blocked the news of the massacre in Baitu City, such a thing could not be blocked. The ferocity of the Bai Zhan Army had already been publicized, and the people of Mo State fled after hearing the news.

The war progressed smoothly, and Nie Ze was very happy that he had conquered two cities in Mo State. He sent people to report the victory to the rear, and ordered the entire army to stay in Jinpan City, repair for a day, and wait until tomorrow before continuing southward.

Before Bai Zhanjun could march south, envoys from the Mo Kingdom came first, asking to see Nie Ze. When the two armies were fighting, Nie Ze still had some magnanimity without killing the envoy. He patiently received the envoy from Mo State.

The envoy from Mo was a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a white face and black beard, and a thin build. He looked like a frail student. Nie Ze sat upright in the central military tent, glanced at Mo Guo's envoy for a moment, and asked: "Who is coming? Tell me your name!"

The middle-aged man lowered his head and did not dare to squint. He bowed respectfully to Nie Ze and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Dong, pays homage to General Zhenguo Nie!" He deliberately added Zhenguo in front of Nie Ze, He also deliberately reminded Nie Ze that he was a chaste person, not a wind person.

Nie Ze was not a reckless man, so how could he not understand what he meant. He laughed and said, "You are really ignorant. Don't you know that I have already surrendered to Feng Kingdom? Now I am the commander of Feng Kingdom's army. If you dare to slander me again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wang Dong's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly changed his words and said, "It was a slip of the tongue by the subordinate. I hope the general will not be offended."

"Humph!" Nie Ze snorted coldly and raised his head and said, "Tell me why you are here!"

"I am here to visit General Nie on the order of my general." As Wang Dong spoke, his eyes were rolling around, thinking about how to start the strategy of inducing surrender.

He reached into his arms and took out a brocade box. Before he could hand it forward, the guards around him had already rushed forward and put several steel knives against his neck.

Wang Dong was so frightened that he shuddered and hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, this is a little gift from my general to General Nie."

Nie Ze smiled. It was new that the commander of the Mo army actually gave him a gift. He waved to the guards, asked them to leave, and then said, "Send it up."

Wang Dong was delighted and hurriedly handed over the brocade box.

Nie Ze took it and opened it. Well, there was a night-shining pearl the size of a quail egg inside. Even in the daytime, the pearl was still shining and dazzling when looking directly at it. Nie Ze was a man who had seen the world. Such a pure and large night-shining pearl was priceless and could not even be bought with money. He squinted his eyes at the night-shining pearl, then closed the brocade box. He had no intention of returning it. He put it on the table beside him, with one hand covering it, as if he was afraid that someone else would snatch it away.

He said with a smile: "Such a valuable gift, how can I accept it!" The generals on both sides almost laughed out loud when they heard it. The general's actions and words were completely opposite.

Since Wang Dong was sent to be a lobbyist, he was naturally good at observing people's words and expressions. Just by looking at Nie Ze's expression, he judged that he was a greedy person. As long as the other party had a weakness, things would be easy. The only thing to worry about was that the other party had a heart of stone and would not be moved no matter what treasures he saw.

He rubbed his hands and smiled, "This is just a small gift, not a sign of respect. Compared with my general's admiration for General Nie, it is really insignificant. I hope the general will accept it with a smile."

Nie Ze nodded with a smile and said, "In this case, I will... be disrespectful to refuse it!"

Seeing the opportunity, Wang Dong hurriedly said, "In fact, with General Nie's talent, it is a pity to be the commander of only one army."

"Oh? So what you mean is..."

"As long as the general is willing to switch to our Mo country, he will be able to be a marquis and a prime minister, and live a life of wealth and honor. My king also appreciates General Nie very much and often says that General Nie is indeed the best general in the world. If General Nie is willing to come to Mo country, the king is willing to become sworn brothers with General Nie and share the vast land of Mo." His words were half true and half false. It was true that Shao Fang appreciated Nie Ze, but it was impossible to say that he would share the land with him.

When he finished speaking, everyone's faces changed and their bodies trembled. The conditions offered by the Mo Kingdom were very tempting. King Mo actually wanted to share the Mo Kingdom with the general. This was too incredible. At this time, even Chen Xiu and others on the side couldn't help but get nervous. If Nie Ze couldn't resist the temptation and really defected to the Mo Kingdom, the blow to Feng Kingdom would be too great. Even the war against Mo might turn into a war against Feng.

The other generals also stared at Nie Ze with big eyes, waiting for him to make a statement. They had no feelings for Feng Kingdom. If Nie Ze really defected to the Mo Kingdom, they would follow him without hesitation.

Nie Ze smiled and said, "Lord Wang, are you saying that as long as I am willing to defect to the Mo Kingdom, King Mo will become brothers with me?"

"That's right!" Wang Dong agreed straightforwardly.

"Whether what you said is true or false, one thing is very obvious." Nie Ze leaned forward, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold face. He said word by word: "You want to harm me!"

After hearing this, Wang Dong's legs softened and he knelt on the ground with a plop, saying repeatedly: "Unfair, unfair! General Nie, I dare not harm you even if I have the courage of heaven. What I said is from my heart..."

Before he finished speaking, Nie Ze waved his hand and sneered: "Everyone in the world knows that King Mo Shao Fang has killed all his brothers long ago. Whoever becomes his brother will be unlucky. Now you want me to become sworn brothers with Shao Fang. Isn't this to harm me or what?"
