"I am naturally happy that you are willing to follow me."
"It's just that I am following the King of Zhenbei now. Whether you can catch the King's eye depends on your performance."
Cong Chongqiu looked at everyone seriously.
"Just one thing, if you follow the King of Zhenbei, you must be loyal and never turn against him in battle, otherwise you will die."
He was naturally happy when the enemy turned against him in the middle of the battle.
But if his own soldiers turned against him in the middle of a battle, he would be doomed.
These soldiers are not the same as the ones he has always led. They are not as obedient and their cohesion is not as strong as that of the divine soldiers.
They all followed Shi Jian, that eccentric man, and he was still a little worried about his character.
Those who need to be struck should naturally be struck in advance.
The deputy generals were delighted and expressed their loyalty one after another, "We are willing to follow the King of Zhenbei and will never betray him. We will obey his orders. If you disobey this, you will not live a good life!!!"
Cong Chongqiu narrowed his eyes and scanned the crowd, his eyes full of majesty.
"In the eyes of the King of Zhenbei, it doesn't matter if a soldier is strong or not. As long as he is loyal, he is a good soldier."
"For the sake of our past friendship, this general will keep you safe for now. From now on, you better keep your eyes open!"
Along the way, the King of Zhenbei handed over all the matters concerning the surrender of soldiers in various cities to him.
He didn't expect that his prestige in the army was so good that the soldiers treated him like their own mother when they saw him.
It seems that his kindness to these soldiers in the past was not in vain.
The lieutenants and soldiers excitedly shouted in unison, "We swear to follow the King of Zhenbei until death and never betray him. Thank you, General Cong, for giving us this opportunity!"
Cong Chongqiu pursed his lips and raised his chin forward.
"Lead the way, let's go to the military camp!!"
Statements are just statements, but we still need to wait and see whether these people are human or ghosts.
Among so many people, there is always Shi Jian’s loyal dog.
When he gets to the military camp, he'll arrest Shi Jian's diehard lackeys and make an example of them!
"Yes!!" The lieutenants responded excitedly, stood up and shouted to the soldiers behind them,
"Brothers, turn around and return to the barracks!!"
After watching the deputy generals and soldiers turn around and walk back, Cong Chongqiu raised his hand and waved to the crossbowmen next to him, giving orders.
"Teams one and two, scout ahead. Teams three and four, go up to the rooftops and conduct a full-scale search. Teams five and six, keep a close eye on the soldiers ahead. If they make any unusual movements, they will be killed without mercy!"
He couldn't guarantee whether these people's escape was some tactic of Shi Jian's, so he had to be on guard in all directions.
One must be on guard against others. He cannot lead the Heavenly God Army into Shi Jian's trap.
After watching the crossbowmen split up and move on, Cong Chongqiu raised his hand and waved.
"Set off!"
The large army, which had been stagnant for less than a quarter of an hour, started moving again.
The lieutenants heard the noise on the roof, looked up, and saw the nimble movements of the crossbowmen with the light crossbows on their backs, and they felt a surge of fear in their hearts.
Look at the weapons of the Heavenly God Army, and then look at the spears in their hands. How can they possibly win this battle?
Looking at how light as a swallow he is, I wonder how much better his kung fu is than theirs.
Things are really going to change in Xiliang Kingdom.
The combat effectiveness of the Heavenly God Army far exceeds that of all the armies of the Western Liang Kingdom.
Along the way, Cong Chongqiu listened vigilantly to the movements around him, his eyes fixed on the deputy general and soldiers in front of him.
As a result, there was no trouble at all along the way.
The crossbowman who had gone out early to gather information did not find anything wrong.
Cong Chongqiu raised his eyebrows in confusion. He didn't expect that Shi Jian would actually abandon hundreds of thousands of soldiers. How awesome.
Standing at the gate of the military camp, Cong Chongqiu glanced around.
I saw that few soldiers in the military camp could stand upright. They were either lying on the ground or leaning against the edge of the tent, looking like they had no bones.
Cong Chongqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his horse's head and walked to Xiao Yunhao's carriage.
Xiao Yunhao lowered the car window and looked at Cong Chongqiu.
Cong Chongqiu jumped off his horse,
"Your Highness, I will take some people in to investigate first. I'm afraid there's a trap!"
Who knows what's going on in the tent?
Xiao Yunhao glanced towards the military camp.
"Send someone to take over at the city gate. I'll leave the barracks to you. I'll take half of the soldiers to the Wu Ma family residence."
The soldiers were so hungry that the most urgent thing was to take out the food from the Wu Ma family’s warehouse, cook porridge and distribute it.
By the time Cong Chongqiu was done with his work, he would have almost finished cooking the porridge, so neither side would be delayed.
Cong Chongqiu bowed and said, "Yes, I respectfully send you off, Your Highness!"
Xiao Yunhao nodded, rolled down the car window, started the car and drove towards the Wu Ma family residence.
After watching Xiao Yunhao and his team leave, Cong Chongqiu gave instructions to the remaining Heavenly God Army:
"Immediately surround the military camp and ensure there is a guard at every step. If anyone dares to cause trouble, kill them!"
Shi Jian left behind two or three hundred thousand soldiers. It would not be easy to subdue these rough guys without using iron-blooded tactics.
But not everyone is willing to follow him.
With such a large military camp, it is impossible for Shi Jian not to have a few trusted subordinates.
All he has to do is pick out these troublemakers and prevent them from causing trouble.
"Yes!!" The deafening voices of the soldiers rang out, followed by the sound of clattering footsteps that filled the entire military camp.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the tents in the entire military camp were surrounded by the Heavenly God Army.
Cong Chongqiu walked into the military camp with a cold face, called the deputy generals into the tents one by one, and questioned them one by one.
Half an hour later, all of Shi Jian's supporters in the military camp were pulled out.
Those who shouted and resisted particularly loudly were beheaded on the spot in front of the soldiers.
The noisy military camp fell silent the moment Shi Jian's supporters' heads fell to the ground!
........
At the gate of Lingxiao City...
"General Shi... General Shi!!!"
The envoy stared with wide eyes at Shi Jian who came out of the gate of Lingxiao City, his face full of horror.
What’s going on?!?
Isn’t Shi Jian leading troops to fight the enemy in Huanlian City?
At that time, he saw the defenders riding their horses and galloping towards the military camp to inform Shi Jian.
What about Shi Jian, who came out of Lingxiao City?
He had just arrived in Lingxiao City, so how did Shi Jian get out of Lingxiao City?
Could it be...
Shi Jian has never returned to Huanlian City! !?
Thinking of this possibility, the envoy almost peed his pants.
It’s over now!!
How can we fight the enemy without the Lord of Huanlian City?
Shi Jian held the reins in his hand and frowned as he looked at the terrified envoy standing in front of him.
"How's the negotiation going?!"
Originally, he was planning to take one of the captured direct descendants of the Wu Ma family back to Huanlian City.
But the empress did not agree!
