Chapter 2715 No War in Xincheng
Jiang Fan sighed lightly: "Tell her, no."
He knew that Meng Chanjuan was kind-hearted, but the food and grass would not be used on the people. Feng Chen would only use it to support the army. Hou Zhao was not a place Feng Chen wanted to operate for a long time. The people would not care much about him no matter what.
"... Well, I'd better tell her that although the people of Hou Zhao are poor, the royal family is rich. Let her think of a solution from Feng Chen."
Fu Cai promised: "Also, Yanshou Xingjun hopes that the master can send Wujiang Medical Association to station there. I just heard about this. She seems to have written a letter to Lin Zhaoji."
Jiang Fan pondered for a moment: "This is feasible. After all, Wujiang Medical Association can directly benefit the people. Tell the Jin State branch to do their best to do something for the people."
Fu Cai bowed, "The master is kind."
Jiang Fan sighed: "Kind... Chanjuan is really kind, Yanshou Xingjun... Yanshou, the symbol of truth, goodness and beauty... really shouldn't participate in this kind of war..."
Fu Cai bowed his head and said nothing. He knew that this person had a very close relationship with the world's most beautiful woman Meng Chanjuan. The master's private affairs must not be interrupted.
Jiang Fan said to himself: "Maybe, this is why she must join the war. If it were Feng Chen, he would not be so gentle."
The next morning, Jiang Fan set off and headed straight for Xincheng.
He went to Xincheng not to watch the battle, but for another thing-Yin Yousi.
At the beginning, he and the Ghost King conspired to trick this old man, and Feng Chen was also involved in this. Now all preparations are almost done, and the plan should be implemented.
Although the Ghost King and Feng Chen had a battle and met for the second time in the underground palace, there was not much intersection between the two. Jiang Fan was needed to bring them together in the end.
Xincheng was unexpectedly large.
The Later Zhao could be said to be a small Danwan country sandwiched between the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but the capital Xincheng was built tall and magnificent, and it was said that it was even more magnificent and luxurious.
This is what people criticize about the royal family of the Later Zhao Dynasty. They are typical people who know that they will be annexed by the big country sooner or later, so they break the jar and pursue the style of enjoying life in the moment. Not only do they live a life of luxury and debauchery, but they also build such a luxurious city. It is said that in addition to enjoying themselves, they also plan to use it as a gift when they surrender to a certain country in the future to seek an identity and continue their wealth.
Unfortunately, this generation of Xin Chengjun would never have thought that it was not any of the five countries that attacked him, but the Dark Dynasty, the Dark Dynasty that suddenly emerged.
Although Xin Chengjun was arrogant and debauched, he was not stupid. He understood that he could survive by surrendering to Wei and Jin, and even get a good title, but the Dark Dynasty could not. Since they were born, they would inevitably devour the territory crazily, and would also raise the butcher knife to clean up the human troubles, and there was no possibility of keeping him.
Therefore, he fought with his life. But he also understood that his pampered old soldiers could never be the opponent of the Crusaders, so while defending, he sent envoys to Taiyue, Wei, and Jin for help. He had already thought about it, at worst he would surrender to one side.
But who was Feng Chen? He obviously could not hide this little thought from him, so he sent Xingluo to guard against the enemy and killed 26 groups of envoys. Later, he completely blocked all the ferry crossings of Jintang River and Dayanshan Passage, leaving Xin Chengjun no way to ask for help.
Xin Chengjun, who did not give up, kept trying, and even tried to escape quietly when he found that the situation was hopeless. Unfortunately, if he had tried earlier, there might have been some hope, but he was reluctant to give up this glory and wealth and could not make up his mind. Now it was too late. There were only dozens of miles of Crusaders, and there was really no place to escape. Finally, when Feng Chen's troops were at the gates of the city and besieged the city from all sides, he was completely desperate.
At this time, he also wanted to surrender, but it was too late. The previous resistance had already determined Feng Chen's killing intention. It was not that there were no smart people in the Later Zhao Dynasty. With just a simple analysis, Xin Chengjun knew that there was no other hope except to hold on and wait for changes.
His only hope was that Taiyue could call on the great powers to stop Fengchen's behavior with the dignity of the holy land, but it was so slim, Fengchen was the one who dared to occupy the holy city.
At this time, the smart man finally gave him a plan, asking him to go up to the tower to negotiate with Fengchen in person, and specifically surrender to Meng Chanjuan, asking Meng Chanjuan to save the royal family and escort them to Jin. Otherwise, the 60,000 troops would burn all the food and grass in the city, slaughter the people in the city, and then fight Fengchen to the end.
Obviously, this smart man heard that Meng Chanjuan was kind and knew that Fengchen was trying to seize the city instead of destroying it, so he came up with this bad idea.
But who knew that Fengchen saw at a glance that Xinchengjun was afraid of death, and directly rejected it, and stated that if he surrendered within three days, he could be kept in captivity instead of being killed, otherwise all nine members of the royal family would be executed by slow slicing.
At that time, Xinchengjun was scared to pee on the tower and was dragged down in a panic.
His actions made Xincheng, which was already in a state of panic, even more unstable, especially the nobles of the Later Zhao Dynasty, who completely understood that this guy was unreliable and could only find a way to survive.
So the wise man who found out that Xincheng Jun was a complete failure found those nobles and gave them an idea. They should join forces to kill Xincheng Jun and put all the responsibility on him. Fengchen would definitely spare their lives.
The nobles, who had been panicking for a long time, thought it was reliable, so they grabbed this life-saving straw and took action within the three days promised by Fengchen.
Therefore, when Jiang Fan arrived, he did not see the fierce siege scene, but a group of servile people who took the heads of 300 people from Xincheng Jun's family and surrendered the city.
Xincheng was broken without bloodshed.
Jiang Fan sighed as he looked at the big city in front of him. Feng Chen had completely mastered Hou Zhao, and also got a place that was currently more suitable as the capital. From then on, he could respond to Daizhou, stabilize, and then slowly unfold the follow-up plan.
Jiang Fan was not in a hurry to meet Feng Chen, and he had to wait for this guy to accept the surrender.
So, he did not enter the city, but temporarily settled in a dense forest by the Jintang River. After simply building a temporary camp, he broke a branch as a fishing rod, found a clean place by the river, put the suitcase under his butt as a seat and started fishing.
Xiang Yinghong, who was making a fire next to him, was also speechless when he saw this scene. After all, the person in the box was his master, and he had ascended to heaven and become a secondary god. Now he was actually used as a butt pad. I don’t know what this naturally clean-freak Peach Blossom God feels at this moment.
Before Mr. Jiang caught the fish, Gray Wolf had already succeeded, and climbed ashore with a fresh grass carp more than three feet long in his mouth.
Jiang Fan laughed and patted the dog's head: "Taro, well done, dinner is settled, but fishing is a refined thing, I still need to try my luck, you go and have fun."
At this time, a chuckle came from the dense forest behind him: "The fisherman still can't stand returning empty-handed."
