Chapter 637: Zhou Ruyuan was surrounded!
"I have pacified Dongchuan, recovered the northwest, and unified the southwest. I have stabilized the situation in the capital, reduced taxes, allowed the people to rest and recuperate, built factories, and improved water conservancy projects, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, everyone can have enough food and clothing, children will no longer suffer from diseases, and the elderly can enjoy their old age. What about you?"
"What are your achievements?"
Shen Lanxi questioned sharply.
Zhou Ruyuan opened his mouth, but found that he had made many decisions that benefited the country and the people, but he didn't have the confidence to speak out.
"I am of royal blood and shall inherit the throne. If it weren't for you, the world would have been at peace long ago!"
All the things that happened now were caused by Shen Lanxi's rebellion. If he could inherit the throne from the beginning, there wouldn't be so many things happening later.
These extra things are entirely Shen Lanxi's responsibility.
Not to mention Shen Lanxi couldn't stand it anymore, even the soldiers behind her couldn't stand it anymore.
“Nonsense!”
"That's just far-fetched talk!"
"You haven't done anything meritorious, but you're just using the blood on your body to make trouble."
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."
"So what if you are of royal blood? There are many people of royal blood, but they are just like parasites, eating the people's blood and fat, but doing nothing for the people."
"Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different races?"
"Zhou Ruyuan, get off your horse and accept your death..."
"Those who surrender will not be killed..."
Shen Lanxi raised her hand, and the cursing behind her stopped immediately.
"Zhou Ruyuan, you are still deceiving yourself!"
At this point, who still cares about his royal blood?
"I am grateful to God for his kindness. You are also citizens of my Great Zhou. I would like to give you a few words of advice."
"No matter what choice you make, I must kill Zhou Ruyuan!"
Shen Lanxi's sharp eyes swept behind Zhou Ruyuan.
"Think about your wives, children, and parents, think about your current situation, and think about how Zhou Ruyuan brought you to your current situation."
"Is it worth it to follow such a person and work hard for such a person?"
Zhao Zheng immediately shouted: "Not worth it..."
Immediately afterwards, the voices behind me became one.
Among the soldiers behind Zhou Ruyuan, even more people were wavering.
With a clang, a spear fell to the ground.
"If I surrender, can I go back home?" a soldier suddenly shouted.
Zhou Ruyuan's eyes suddenly changed, pointing at the man and shouting: "He is shaking the morale of the army in front of the battle, kill him!"
The soldier who threw down his spear screamed in fear and ran towards the Eastern Expedition Army.
Just as the bows and arrows were about to be aimed, a group of people threw their weapons on the ground and ran towards the Eastern Expedition Army.
Only more soldiers dropped their weapons.
The archer's hands were unsteady.
"What are you doing? Pull the bow to its full length and shoot the arrow."
"No, my brother just ran over there."
"Captain, let's run too. As long as Shen Lanxi is not dead, we have no chance of winning." The archer said, throwing down his bow and arrow and running.
Zhou Ruyuan looked at countless people running towards the Eastern Expedition Army. He looked like a madman, with his eyes red with anger.
"Archer, shoot!"
"Anyone who dares to run will be killed without mercy!"
"What are you still standing there for? Go kill them!"
Seeing that he could no longer control the situation, Zhou Ruyuan immediately urged the soldiers around him.
Those soldiers had followed them all the way from the southwest, and many of them were unable to bring themselves to take action.
There were some who were able to do it, but after killing a few people, they were counterattacked by those people.
Shen Lanxi gestured to Che Mingyuan, who shouted, "Take down Zhou Ruyuan's head and make him a marquis of ten thousand households, with a reward of ten thousand taels of gold and one hundred acres of land."
Shen Lanxi jumped off the warhorse and took the Moon-Ban Sword from the chariot.
The long sword shone brightly as it pointed at Zhou Ruyuan.
"kill!"
Seeing more and more people defecting, Zhou Ruyuan began to panic.
Suddenly, Zhou Yanxing's loud shout came from not far away.
"We have all been deceived by Zhou Ruyuan. Kill Zhou Ruyuan and I will take you back to my hometown in Dongchuan!"
Zhou Ruyuan stared at Zhou Yanxing intently. If he wanted to exchange his life for wealth and safety, he could forget it.
"Soldiers, don't listen to Shen Lanxi's nonsense. Kill Shen Lanxi and I will grant you high positions and generous salaries, and let your descendants benefit from it!"
Just when Zhou Yanxing was feeling complacent, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and then he was stabbed by the guard next to him.
The guard drew out his sword, but Zhou Yanxing was already dead, with his eyes open.
"I didn't take Zhou Ruyuan's head, does Zhou Yanxing's count?"
Shen Lanxi immediately raised her voice: "Well, in my eyes, Zhou Ruyuan and Zhou Yanxing are of the same kind, of the same weight!"
The guards immediately shouted happily: "Brothers, join me in serving His Majesty!"
"I am a marquis of ten thousand households, and you are all marquises of a hundred households. Let's divide the reward of silver and land equally!"
Most of the people around Zhou Yanxing disappeared in an instant.
How can we fight the war now that the commander-in-chief is dead?
Zhou Yanxing's men either fled or surrendered. The huge group was reduced to pieces in an instant.
Zhou Ruyuan's eyes were filled with hatred and rage. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he still refused to admit it.
"All soldiers, follow me back to Tianjin!"
Fortunately, he had already trained the navy before. When they retreated to Tianjin and boarded the warships, even if Shen Lanxi had a strong army, he would be unable to do anything.
"Your Majesty, should we send someone to chase after him?" Zhao Zheng saw that Zhou Ruyuan was about to escape, so how could he let him slip away before his eyes?
Shen Lanxi laughed and said calmly: "Wait!"
What are you waiting for?
Shouldn't we order a pursuit?
They did not mobilize a single soldier from the Eastern Expedition Army and could only watch Zhou Ruyuan's men kill themselves.
Zhao Zheng wanted to ask for mercy, but when he saw Che Mingyuan, he saw him shaking his head slightly.
Why isn't the military advisor in a hurry?
…
Zhou Ruyuan had just turned around and heard from his soldiers that Shen Lanxi had not ordered a pursuit. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a group of people coming in the distance.
"Your Majesty, someone is coming from the direction of Tianjin."
Zhou Ruyuan was delighted, thinking that it must be their people who came to pick them up.
"Join up immediately!"
"yes!"
When he was halfway there and saw who was coming, Zhou Ruyuan immediately realized something was wrong.
"Stop, it seems that they are not ours."
Xiao Fang has already issued an order: "Capture Zhou Ruyuan's head, and His Majesty will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Zhou Ruyuan's face changed drastically, and he murmured in disbelief: "How could someone coming from Tianjin be Chen Lanxi's man?"
He had seen this man before, and he remembered that this man was a general beside Shen Lanxi.
"Your Majesty, why did this person come from Tianjin?" The general next to Zhou Ruyuan was also anxious.
There was only one possibility for Shen Lanxi's men to appear in the rear, that Tianjin was occupied by Shen Lanxi's men.
Tianjin was wiped out by Shen Lanxi.
"Chen Lanxi..." Zhou Ruyuan let out a heart-wrenching cry in the direction of Shen Lanxi.
The sound of fighting was deafening!
Zhou Ruyuan has been surrounded and is now a turtle in a jar.
Shen Lanxi raised her voice: "Soldiers, it's time to make achievements!"
"It's your turn, show off your skills!"
After hearing the order, Zhao Zheng, Qian Feng and others rushed towards Zhou Ruyuan immediately.
"Revenge for the Southwestern Army!"
"Revenge for the Black Tiger Army!"
"Father, I will avenge you today..."
