Not only the military appearance, but also the spirit and spirit collapsed immediately the moment Yiyang Lord Ji Xuan died. This was an all-round mental collapse. None of the Yancheng generals under Ji Xuan could suppress anyone.
, without Ji Xuan, it would become a piece of loose sand.
Even though some counselors said that the princes were still alive and could go to Lai to try again, some officers had already made up their mind to surrender to Wu King Gouchen.
As for those who are loyal to Ji Xuan, what they are thinking about now is how to redeem Ji Xuan's body from Tancheng.
"No problem, no problem..."
Shaha, who was covered in blood, fainted immediately after returning to the city. At first, the doctor thought it was excessive blood loss, but after careful inspection, they found that most of the blood was not Shaha's. The strong man who helped him collapsed from exhaustion.
.
"Remove your armor quickly!"
Tan Zhuangzi had experience. Although he couldn't move, he was too old after all. This strenuous exercise almost made him burp.
He couldn't recover for a long time, so he just slumped on the carriage and let the servants help him down.
Shaha, who is wearing three layers of armor, is very heavy. If the "Crocodile Man" hadn't been through a lot of experience, it would have been difficult for Tan soldiers to even peel off the armor for a while.
"Captain, captain?"
The "Crocodile Man" team member, who looked a little nervous, patted Shaha's fat face. At this moment, Shaha's disheveled hair was very wild. It seemed that he felt someone patting his face. Shaha suddenly stood up, stretched out his hands, and opened his eyes angrily: "
kill--"
He stabbed him with both hands in the air. If the "crocodile men" on the left and right hadn't reacted promptly and hugged him tightly, the throat bones of Tan soldiers would have been shattered in an instant.
"Hey!"
Several "crocodile men" came together and held Shaha down before saying, "Captain, everything is fine! Go and report to Shou Li!"
"yes!"
Tasks were assigned immediately and the efficiency was amazing.
Outside the city, there were hundreds of Yancheng Wu Jia kneeling at the city gate. They were all Ji Xuan's loyal servants. They were all crestfallen and crying, begging Tancheng to release their lord's body.
The "crocodile man" at the top of the city refused directly and ordered him to throw away his helmet and kneel by the road, otherwise Ji Xuan's head would be dismembered.
In desperation, these hundreds and dozens of Wu Jia had to obey orders. They were not from the royal family, but were promoted by Ji Xuan and were retainers of two generations.
Others Wu Jia might be able to survive, but Wu King Gouchen would never let them live.
The Yancheng army was like birds and beasts scattered, and the small nobles each led a group of troops to escape. After falling apart, they could only survive. Some people wanted to find Ji Xuan's son to join them, and some people went to the Huaishang Kingdoms.
Try your luck. The cold weather and long-distance migration are inherently an adventure.
Others turned around and headed south, preparing to surrender to King Wu.
"today……"
Tan Zhuangzi, who recovered from his illness, sat in the hall, looking ahead without focus, and spoke, but he didn't say anything for a long time. He just sighed, "Sacrifice your life for righteousness, dare to be a martyr!"
"Father."
Ji Lie was at the city head before and saw the shocking changes with his own eyes. He also knew that his father had been humiliated by Lord Yiyang. However, he did not know the details as to why Shaha went on a rampage and killed people, because Tan Zhuangzi himself was also the one now.
I was still in shock and felt that my escape from death was just this.
At this moment, Ji Lie could only feel that his father was terrified, but he had no way to comfort him.
One day later, Li Jie, who had arrived in the country of Phi, met Ying Mi, the king of the country of Phi. The country of Phi was really small, and the capital of the country was more like a larger Zhuangzi than a city.
The city wall is just like a village wall. Li Jie can climb over by sprinting and holding the top of the wall with both hands.
The function of the entire city is probably to defend against barbarians and wild beasts. The main daily routine of the people of the Xi Kingdom is to go out of the city to farm during the day.
The handicraft industry is not developed either, but stone processing is pretty good, and the technical level is probably about the same as when Li Jie was polishing stone axes.
There are very few metal utensils, and Ying Mi has not yet collected the bronze utensils that will be buried with him after his death. This shows how poor the country's strength is.
Therefore, in order to make the monarch more dignified after his death, the people of the Yin Kingdom were willing to go out to work and earn foreign exchange to help raise some funeral expenses for the monarch.
In the countries of Ju, Lai, Ji, Qi, and Lu, there were many farm laborers who were people from the Phi State. In addition to farm laborers, there were also many people from the Phi State who served as stonemasons, spies, sheep herders, and pig herders.
"I was envoyed to Donglai under the king's orders. There were many disturbances on my way to your country. I hope you won't be surprised."
"The strong man is powerful in the Central Plains. I also know it from the Kingdom of Ju. How dare you neglect the envoys of the Kingdom of Heaven?"
The king of a small country naturally has his own way of survival. The country of Tan still has to kneel and lick it, let alone the country of Phi, which is far inferior to the country of Tan.
The willingness of both parties to cooperate is very strong. Li Jie needs to hire some people and purchase a batch of grain. Depending on the activities in Lai, there may be more purchases.
This list was a surprise to Ying Mi. With this money, he could save enough for funeral expenses and put together a set of bronzes that were not too bad and a set of jade that were not too bad.
With these, his life is almost perfect.
In order to hug Li Jie's thigh, Ying Mi also tried her best to please him and tried her best to bring out what she could in the country to entertain him.
Ying Mi even secretly killed a cow. This matter had to be hidden from the people of the country. If the people of the country found out, they would hate him.
Of course, you have to wait until Li Jie leaves before you criticize him. The people of the Xi Kingdom are not stupid. How can they dare to face the envoys of the overlord Wu Kingdom?
In a small country, there is not such a big difference between the superior and the inferior. After all, there are just a few people. No matter how much you pretend, you are just a township entrepreneur, or a township entrepreneur in a remote mountainous area.
"Shou Li! Urgent report!"
The one who came to report the news in a hurry was Sha Dong. Sha Dong rarely loses his composure, but this time he looked very excited, "Shou Li! Tan City suddenly changed, Shah assassinated Lord Yiyang outside Tan City!"
"Um?!"
Mayor Li looked confused, "Jun Yiyang? Is it the old turtle, Mr. Yiyang?"
"Exactly!"
"Fuck!"
Li Xiangchang's dog eyes widened at that time, "How did you do this?!"
As for the host, Mr. Ying Mi, who was holding the Tongjue in his hands to toast him, was so frightened when he heard the news that his hands shook and the Tongjue fell onto the table with a clang.
With such breaking news, it was obvious that the Wu people had no intention of hiding it from the Tan people, and they couldn't hide it. How far could the Tan country travel?
"Master Wang has arrived at Zhuxi?"
"We have arrived at Zhuxi."
When he said this, Li Jie had already stood up, saluted Ying Mi, Lord Yu, and said, "I have important things to do. I'll meet Lord Yu another day!"
"Macho men do what they want, do what they want..."
"Farewell!"
After leaving Jun Jun's place and entering the outer room, Li Jie asked Sha Dong: "Did Ziqi's people arrive at Zhuxi in advance?"
"Yes, for the surrender of Tan Kingdom, Dazai asked for the quota of five meritorious officials."
"The first credit for killing Jixuan belongs to Shaha. The rest can be left to Ziqi to make an offer."
"yes!"
"You go back to Tancheng first, I'll make some arrangements, and I'll be there soon."
"yes!"
Watching Sha Dong leave, Li Jie put his hands on his hips and sighed with emotion: "Oh my god, is this weather really adding a super buff to Erha? Is this even okay?"
