Chapter 95 Wu Guo Begs to Surrender

Zhengyong five years, the fifth day of the eleventh month.

Xu Mujun used the power of thunderbolts and red cannons to bombard Heishanguan.

The city wall of Heishanguan collapsed in half a day, and most of the houses in the pass collapsed. Countless soldiers of the Wu Kingdom were crushed under the rubble and rubble.

Xu Mujun led 100,000 cavalry into Heishanguan and had a street fight with the only remaining soldiers of Heishanguan.

In just half a day, after a night of fighting, Dayu's soldiers finally occupied Heishanguan.

Of the 500,000 soldiers guarding Heishanguan, less than 50,000 escaped.

The remaining soldiers were either killed by thunderbolts, crushed to death by collapsed houses, or died in battle. Only a handful of them knelt down and were captured.

In the battle of Dayu, only more than 10,000 soldiers were killed or injured.

Wu State's Heishanguan Pass was once again occupied by Dayu.

In this battle, the only Xiantian realm warrior in the Wu Kingdom, the ancestor of Yinshan, was also beheaded by Xu Mujun!

And the thunderbolts, red cannons and other objects that appeared over the Black Mountain Pass that night and almost blew the entire Black Mountain Pass into rubble were also spread quickly towards other countries by spies from various countries.

The Black Mountain Pass was broken, and the southern border of Wu State was no longer dangerous to defend.

Xu Mujun left 200,000 infantry and heavy troops to guard Heishanguan. At the same time, he excavated the collapsed houses to see if there were any living Wu Guo soldiers.

Then use rocks and wood from both sides of Yinshan Mountain to repair Heishanguan, and strive to rebuild Heishanguan.

And he himself split the remaining cavalry into two and rushed towards the capital cities of Mangzhou and Huangzhou in the southern border of Wu Kingdom!

Mangzhou and Huangzhou are two states on the southern border of Wu Kingdom, bordering Dayu Binzhou and Youzhou, and separated by Yinshan Mountain.

And Heishanguan is at the junction of these two states.

The first army, led by Xu Mujun, rushed towards Mangzhou at extremely fast speed.

The other army, led by Chen Hongxiu and Zhao Tieshan, rushed towards Huangzhou.

Zhengyong five years, November 11th.

Xu Mu's army broke through Mangzhou Prefecture, the capital of Mangzhou, and killed the enemy without any calculation. They captured King Wu Mang of Wu State who was in Mangzhou, and Wu State was greatly shocked.

Zhengyong five years, November 13th.

Chen Hongxiu and Zhao Tieshan used red cannons as weapons to bombard Huangzhou Prefecture, the capital of Huangzhou, Wu Kingdom.

After a stick of incense was burned, the city wall of Huangzhou Prefecture, the capital city of Wu State, was blown down. One hundred thousand cavalry swarmed up and destroyed Huangzhou Prefecture.

With no plan to kill the enemy, King Wuhuang of the Wu Kingdom who was sitting in Huangzhou rose up to resist, but was accidentally injured by a stray bullet and died of serious injuries!

Subsequently, Xu Mujun ordered the Heishanguan garrison to continuously increase its numbers, encroaching on other counties and cities in the two major states of Mangzhou and Huangzhou.

The entire southern border of Wu Kingdom is under the command of Xu Mujun's Bingfeng!

The most important thing is that the soldiers and horses led by Xu Mujun did not rob the people of Wu State, but stood still and waited for help.

He...

To occupy the two wild states!

When the news that Xu Mu's army broke through Heishanguan and occupied the two states of Manghuang spread back to the country, the entire army and civilians of Dayu suddenly exploded.

"As expected of General Xu Mujun! He is so powerful that he can actually break through the Black Mountain Pass!"

"I have said before that General Xu Mujun is the best general in the world. It is really terrifying!"

"I wonder what your Majesty will reward General Xu Mujun? One word, King of Side by Side?"

"Hush...! Silence! Taizu has decreed that no one with the surname Zheng can be king. You are putting His Majesty and the General at a disadvantage!"

"Hehehe, now I have fifteen states in Dayu!"

"Newspaper! The latest information! General Xu Mujun conquered Qingzhu County in Mangzhou. From then on, Mangzhou is under the rule of Dayu!"

"Kid! Bring me a newspaper!"

"I want it too!"

"Look what's written on it...!"

Hot public discussions are the most likely to trigger countless speculations.

The fact that Xu Mu's army occupied the two major states of Wu State undoubtedly increased the morale and cohesion of the people of Dayu to an unprecedented level.

The recruitment gates for the Forbidden Army and other units were almost full of people, all dreaming of opening up territory for Dayu and conquering the world like General Xu Mujun!

This is true among the people, and even more so in the court.

After Xu Mujun's military orders were sent back, Zheng Yi had held three major dynasties in a row.

The information coming back every day can arouse the crazy enthusiasm of the people in the court.

Because the distance between the two places is too far, there is a lag in intelligence. Zheng Yi's latest intelligence is that Xu Mujun has occupied Qingzhu County in Mangzhou.

As for where he is now, he really doesn't know.

"Your Majesty! General Xu's hard work and merits deserve great rewards!"

"According to the report! Let's discuss the reward with the Ministry of Etiquette."

"No!"

"Your Majesty! General Xu wrote a letter, hoping to continue to send reinforcements to Heishanguan to defend the two states!"

"Accurate!"

"Your Majesty! General Xu has written a letter. Although the two states are barren and barren, they are holy places for raising horses. I hope your majesty will send special personnel to the two states for grazing."

"Accurate!"

"Your Majesty! General Xu..."

After a lot of heated discussion, Xu Mujun's great achievements were discussed almost all day long.

At this time, Lu Xiangqing, who was standing at the front of the hundred officials, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, General Xu has worked hard and achieved great success. He broke through Heishanguan before the end of the year, but the success of breaking Heishanguan also owes to the Shenji Battalion."

"I invite you to report, the Great Conferred God Machine Camp!"

"Accurate!"

Wang He, the assistant minister of the cabinet and the imperial censor, suddenly stepped forward and said: "I have a starting point."

"Speak!"

"Your Majesty, Heishanguan Pass is the most important pass between Dayu and Wu Kingdom. It runs between our country and Wu Kingdom. Now that the general is conquering cities and territories in Wu Kingdom, it is really a blessing for Dayu."

"But General Xu is good at fighting but not good at defending. For the sake of the general and Dayu, please replace the general who defended the city at Heishanguan, so that General Xu can safely attack the city and capture territory for Dayu."

As soon as Wang He finished speaking, the originally bustling hall immediately fell silent.

The officials lowered their heads slightly, their eyes flickering. They didn't dare to look at His Majesty on the steps, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.

Only Wang He looked at His Majesty calmly.

Zheng Yi said indifferently: "I believe General Xu, the Black Mountain Gate Guard will not need to be replaced."

"Your Majesty!"

Wang He argued vigorously: "This action is for my great danger!"

"And this policy is also for the sake of General Xu..."

"I said, this matter does not need to be discussed again!"

Zheng Yi waved his sleeves and left, leaving only the officials and ministers looking at each other in bewilderment.

A minister came to Wang He and whispered: "Master Wang, why are you so anxious?"

"Afraid?"

Wang He said coldly: "Heishanguan is located in a natural chasm. Once Xu Mu's army blocks Heishanguan, he can declare himself king. My Majesty's plan is for Dayu's plan, and we have to be prepared for this."

"You..."

"What I'm doing is just to nip this problem in the bud." "Alas...!"

After returning to the palace, Zheng Yi went directly to Baihua Palace.

In the past few months, he often stayed at Baihua Palace.

At the same time, he was also constantly wooing the three women, and he had already pulled out a lot of secrets about Baihuamen from the three women.

The three girls also became pregnant one after another in the past few months.

For a time, the three-female alliance was extremely powerful in the harem, almost only under Concubine Duan and the Queen.

Even Li Changle, the concubine of Virtue, had to bow her head after seeing the three girls.

A few days later, another news came.

Xu Mujun resigned from the post of guard general of Heishan Pass and focused on conquering the two wild states.

At the same time, Xu Mujun actually wrote a letter asking Your Majesty to reward his people with large tracts of land, gold, silver, beautiful women, etc.

He even sent a letter to move all his family members to the capital.

After repeatedly asking to resign, Zheng Yi had to agree to Xu Mujun's request.

After some consideration, Chen Wannian, who was stationed at Cangguan, was recalled and appointed as a general to station at Heishanguan.

Zhengyong five years, the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

His Majesty ordered that Concubine Duan Xu Qingluan be prudent in nature, diligent and submissive, yonghe and pure, gentle in nature, submissive in nature, and virtuous. She was immediately canonized as a noble concubine!

For: Concubine Xu!

Since then, Zheng Yi has had three concubines.

Concubine Cui.

Concubine Yang.

Concubine Xu.

For a time, the Xu family was unparalleled in the court and unrivaled.

His family and clan members also had a transcendent status in the capital and the court, and were attracted, intimate and attached to by countless people.

Zhengyong five years, December 10th.

The special envoy of the Kingdom of Wu knelt outside the palace, begging for surrender and peace!

According to the latest battle report, Xu Mu's army has reached Mengzhou, which is adjacent to the two Manghuang states.

If he were allowed to defeat Mengzhou again, then this place would only be a thousand miles away from the imperial court of Wu Kingdom.

It can be reached in half a month by horse.

Wu Guo summoned the troops and horses from all over the country, and more than a million people rushed towards Mengzhou.

The armies and horses of both sides have fought several times in the Manghuang grassland at the junction of Mengzhou and Mangzhou, leaving more than 100,000 corpses!

On both sides of the war, the army led by Xu Mujun always won.

For a time, the mood of Tan Xu in Wu Kingdom changed, and no one dared to ignore his edge.

With no other choice, the Imperial Court of Wu Kingdom could only mobilize special envoys as quickly as possible to ask for peace.

At the top of the court, Zheng Yi threw aside the credential of the Kingdom of Wu and said: "The Kingdom of Wu sent envoys to ask for peace. What do you all think?"

Lu Xiangqing stood up and said: "Your Majesty, General Xu's army is at its peak. He has already occupied the two states of Manghuang and Mengzhou is also under his army."

"Of course, we, Dayu, have been fighting for many years, and our soldiers have suffered countless casualties. Moreover, the two states of Manghuang are too far away from the hinterland of Dayu, so the luggage is traveling south."

"So, I propose that we negotiate peace."

"I second the proposal!"

A large number of officials agreed, but a very small number of military attachés had different opinions.

It is a pity that they are soft-spoken and few in number, and cannot form a unified voice.

Zheng Yi also knew in his heart that what Lu Xiangqing and others said was reasonable, and the thunderbolts, red cannon shells, etc. carried by the Shenji Battalion had been exhausted and could not be replenished on the spot.

Xu Mu's army was blocked in the wild grassland, which can prove this.

Those who are strong in the Xiantian realm are the enemies of ten thousand people.

But it is not the enemy of one hundred thousand people or the enemy of one million people!

Dayu also needs to recuperate.

Thunderbolts and red cannons also need to be replenished.

There are also new weapons.

Now that he had a plan in mind, Zheng Yi immediately said: "Special envoy of Chuanwu Kingdom!"

"Special Envoy of Chuanwu Kingdom!"

Soon, a middle-aged man with naturally curly hair strode up.

"The foreign minister Meng Zhan has met His Majesty Dayu!"

"Special envoy of the Kingdom of Wu, why do you want to see me?"

The corner of Meng Zhan's mouth twitched, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty Dayu, our two countries, Wu and Yu, have been on good terms, but now Xu Mu's army invaded our country of Wu at will, killed the people of our country, and plundered our cattle and sheep. In fact, It’s a heinous crime.”

"I also ask Your Majesty Dayu to convict Xu Mu's army, order them to withdraw from Heishanguan, and compensate our Wu Kingdom for its losses..."

"Here comes someone!"

Zheng Yi was too lazy to listen to this person's excuse and said directly: "I'll beat him out with a stick!"

Four wolf-like and tiger-like Ouchi guards rushed forward, picked up sticks and hit Meng Zhan on the head.

"Your Majesty Dayu! What are you doing! Ah!"

"Dayu is a country of etiquette...ah!"

Meng Zhan screamed and cursed angrily, but he was still beaten out by the Ouchi guards.

Zheng Yi sneered: "What did Emperor Wu send here?"

"If you want me, Dayu, to retreat, just change me to someone smarter!"

"Retreat!"

That night, the Wu State envoy went crazy looking for ministers in the capital with a large number of gifts.

In particular, the thresholds of Lu Xiangqing, Wang He and others were almost crossed.

Even Liu Chengen's foreign residence was found by the Wu State envoy and sent a large number of gifts.

Half of these gifts also flowed into the palace.

A few days later, the Wu State envoy could no longer bear it any longer and knelt at the entrance of the palace, crying and begging loudly.

In just a few days, Xu Mujun's army has already reached the territory of Mengzhou!

Finally, Zheng Yi agreed to meet the Wu State envoy again.

"Your Majesty Dayu!"

The envoy who came this time was an old man in his sixties. As soon as he met him, he knelt down in front of Zheng Yi with a bang.

"Your Majesty Dayu! As long as Xu Mujun retreats, our country of Wu is willing to pay any price!"
