Chapter 67: It Should Be Settled

At this time, Xiao Xu was already fighting hard with King Xiao Nanchen, but first he heard that Jinling was suddenly attacked from the other side, and then, seemingly a moment later, he learned the news that Jinling had been lost.

The battle here was already extremely difficult. When Xiao Xu and his subordinates heard the news, they were immediately stunned and at a loss. They were still hesitating, but their subordinates had already made the best response.

The smart and astute officer immediately led the entire army of soldiers and horses, seized the ship and fled to the north of the Yangtze River to submit to King Xiao Nanchen. But those who did not have more strength, or even had ulterior motives, led their troops to flee in all directions, trying to gain their own small world in the chaos.

The situation was now in chaos, and Xiao Xu's heart was beating wildly. He didn't know how to deal with this mess, let alone how to face the possibility of being captured by Zhou Shengchen and Xiao Yan.

It is a reality that the chaos cannot be rectified, but it would be better if Zhou Shengchen catches him. If he is caught by Xiao Yan, Xiao Xu knows that there is no way to survive. Even if he surrendered to Zhou Shengchen now, Xiao Xu would not survive because he knew that Zhou Shengchen and Xiao Yan had a deep friendship.

The battle could no longer continue, and Jinling did not dare to turn back. Xiao Xu gritted his teeth and had to recruit as many troops as possible to fight southward, hoping to break through the harassment of the surrounding natives and seize the road to escape southward.

As for where to escape to the south, Xiao Xu could only have an idea of ​​​​Mohu: just go down, either to Guiyang, Lingling, or Yunnan, and then simply escape to Jiaozhi...

The regent of Beichen in Jiangbei and Zhou Shengchen, the king of Xiaonanchen, had naturally learned the news about Xiao Yan and others' attack on Jinling City. As the architect of the overall strategy, Zhou Shengchen had already made preparations in all aspects. At this time, of course, he had to show his overwhelming momentum and deliver the perfect final blow to Xiao Xu.

His order for a general offensive was issued, and soldiers and horses from all the major battalions in the north of the Yangtze River immediately boarded ships to cross the river. On the broad water of the Yangtze River, countless large and small warships with sails and seats appeared. Immediately the chilling sound of horns and golden drums sounded on the river, and the cold light of the swords and guns in the hands of the soldiers flashed in the sun.

When the officer of Nanxiao, who was escaping to the north of the Yangtze River by boat, saw it, he quickly raised the white flag to show surrender. But the king's army just ignored them and passed by their boat.

The surrendering army of Nanxiao was still surprised when they heard a herald from the Wang Army shouting: "Since we are surrendering, why don't we go south to pacify it together!" The surrendering army immediately saluted and said yes, quickly removed their titles and banners, and turned the bow of the ship to follow. Go south.

The mighty warships crowded the river. Fortunately, Xiao Xu was not able to see this scene with his own eyes. If he could see it, he would have immediately raised the white flag and surrendered like the soldiers who stayed behind.

As soon as the ships of the royal army landed, they were immediately divided into orderly groups, either fighting with the remaining enemies, or rushing to granaries, armories, etc. As the king's army moves forward like a tide, Nanxiao's troops will immediately collapse or surrender or flee.

As soon as Zhou Shengchen's main ship docked, he saw his soldiers and horses rushing toward Jiangling City like a tide.

Seeing this majestic and shocking scene, Nao Shiyi, who had been by his side, first trembled in horror, then fell to the ground and bowed: "Congratulations to my king for going south in the first battle!"

Zhou Shengchen took her hand, helped her up and said, "Shi Yi, we will re-enter Jiangling City later."

Miao Shiyi was so excited that he couldn't help but admire Zhou Shengchen even more when he saw how calm he was. Looking at him, she heard the roar of thousands of troops in her ears, and her eyes were filled with tears caused by passion: "My king, even though Shi Yi has the knowledge he has learned since childhood, he cannot express his feelings at this time."

Holding her hand tightly, Zhou Shengchen said with a smile: "When I first started fighting, I was more nervous than you." Although he was caring, even if Zhou Shengyi knew how to adapt to this and adapt to being by the side of the heroic Zhou Shengchen, he still couldn't. There must be a continuous adaptation process.

She nodded, but her body was still trembling slightly. Zhou Shengchen just held her hand to comfort her, and then looked at Jiangling City.

Over there, Huang Tianhe, Shi Mengyuan, Bashanhu and others led many natives to harass and besiege them. At this time, countless royal troops attacked, and the Nanxiao troops who had rebelled and surrendered turned against them and counterattacked. How could it be defended?

Almost as soon as the royal army's flag appeared, countless white flags were immediately raised on the top of Jiangling City to show submission.

The front troops quickly entered the city to stabilize order, and Zhou Shengchen immediately led the rear troops. Because Shi Shiyi was shocked and panicked, Zhou Shengchen calmly hugged her on the dragon colt and sat behind her to support her.

This is how they want to tell the world that Zhou Shengchen can rebuke Fang Qiu and pacify the world, and he can also make all people live and work in peace and contentment just as he carefully cares for the delicate girl in front of him.

Entering the government office hall safely from outside the city, Zhou Shengchen dismounted and hugged Piao Shiyi to the ground, and then ordered the maid to accompany her to the back house.

Then sitting in the lobby, Zhou Shengchen gave another order: "We only need to capture Xiao Xu alive, but do not harm his life." His order was issued and passed on by the soldiers. The troops who pursued and searched Xiao Xu everywhere became more meticulous. .

After making some arrangements, Zhou Shengchen went back to the back hall. At this time, Yan Shiyi had slightly recovered from the successive shocks, and when he saw him approaching, he quickly stepped forward to salute.

Zhou Shengchen held her hand and sat down and said, "Shi Yi, I want to capture Xiao Xu again. The situation of this battle is unknown, so you don't have to follow me for the time being."

Nao Shiyi felt reluctant to give up, but he also roughly knew that the pursuit battle was changing rapidly, and it was really inconvenient for him to follow him. Although he was not allowed to follow him, he still bowed respectfully.

Zhou Shengchen felt strange, and quickly helped her up again, and said with concern: "Why is Shi Yi so polite? I already told you, you don't need to be like this. What's more, it's just the two of us facing each other at this time, and no one else is present. "

Shi Yi still maintained a respectful posture and said calmly: "The national affairs are important, and Shi Yi should not talk nonsense. But thinking that my king wants to stabilize the world as soon as possible, he makes a bold request."

"Shi Yi, just say it." Zhou Shengchen looked at her and nodded.

"Xiao Xu may have been guilty of killing Xiao Yan's parents, but we don't know the truth. Moreover, Xiao Xu has been very benevolent since he came to the throne, and the people of Jiangnan are grateful for his kindness. My king is unparalleled in martial arts, and it will be easy to kill Xiao Xu. But if we can see that he is benevolent to the people and has more prestige in the south of the Yangtze River, Shiyi will boldly plead." After that, Shiyi fell to the ground and bowed.

Zhou Shengchen naturally had to deal with Xiao Xu properly. What Miao Shiyi said was not something Zhou Shengchen had been thinking about. It's just that Xiao Yan's parents were killed by Xiao Xu, so this feud should be settled.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Shengchen solemnly helped Nao Shiyi up. Looking at her beautiful face, he nodded and responded: "It is the right time to consider this important matter with the world and all the people as the top priority. I would like to thank you for all the people."
