Chapter 424 Xu Chengye's Decision
Inside the Yan State camp, Jiang Chen slowly put down the telescope in his hand and spoke to Gongsun Liang beside him.
"Gongsun, I think Xu Chengye will believe what I say this time, right?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Gongsun Liang smiled and nodded, then said to his master.
"Your Majesty, once you make this move, even if he doesn't believe it, I'm afraid he has already decided to surrender."
Having said this, Gongsun Liang couldn't help but complain in his heart .
Who would be able to remain calm and fight against Jiang Chen after being bombarded by two rounds of artillery fire?
After hearing Gongsun Liang's answer, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile and nodded.
After a while, Yu Shuo and Yuan Hao also brought the soldiers from the Artillery Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion back to the Yan State camp.
Looking at Yu Shuo and Yuan Hao who came back with smiles on their faces, Jiang Chen couldn't help but praise them.
"Yu Shuo, Yuan Hao, you two did a great job!"
"I have decided to give you the Divine Core Battalion and the Artillery Battalion extra meals tonight."
"But, forget about this fine wine. I have already said that you cannot drink during war!"
Yu Shuo and Yuan Hao, who were originally very happy, suddenly felt a little disappointed after hearing Jiang Chen's last words.
However, thinking of the prohibitions in the Yan State Army, the two could only bow to Jiang Chen and accept the order.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your orders!"
Seeing the two men's somewhat lost looks, Jiang Chen turned around and returned to the central military tent, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Soon, it was night, and Yu Shuo and Yuan Hao gathered together with the soldiers from the Artillery Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion.
He began to congratulate himself for successfully carrying out Jiang Chen's orders during the day.
Although there was no wine, there were dozens of cattle and sheep that Jiang Chen specially ordered the Huozao Camp to slaughter.
It can also be considered as a comfort to these rough men in the army who cannot live without alcohol.
But just when Yu Shuo and Yuan Hao were about to dismiss their soldiers, a figure in black armor slowly walked into their tent.
I saw that the person who came was holding two jars in his hands.
Looking at this scene, Yu Shuo and Yuan Hao held their breath for an instant.
The next second, the man threw two jars at the two men.
"Your Majesty's order: I know you two are a bit of a drunkard, this is just one time, it won't happen again!"
After saying that, the figure in black armor turned around and quickly left the tent.
Watching the black-armored figure leaving, Yu Shuo and Yuan Hao quickly caught the two jars.
After opening it and taking a look, it turned out to be the special wine from Lao Ba Secret Winery!
Smelling the fragrance, Yu Shuo and Yuan Hao couldn't help but bow happily in the direction of the central military tent.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine!"
At this moment, the figure in black armor walked into the central army tent.
He bowed to Jiang Chen and replied softly.
"Master, Long Yi has sent two jars of fine wine over according to your order."
After listening to the report from the black-armored figure, Jiang Chen nodded slightly and said.
"Well done, go down, I need to rest now."
"Yes, Master."
After receiving Jiang Chen's instructions, the black-armored figure retreated.
The black-armored figure was the leader of the eighteen new Ghost Valley warriors under Jiang Chen's command.
After he swore allegiance to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen gave him the name "Long Yi".
As for the other seventeen people, the same thing can be said of them.
After Long Yi retreated, Jiang Chen fell into a deep sleep.
At the same time, in the Shanyang Pass City Lord's Mansion, Xu Chengye couldn't sleep all night.
I saw Xu Chengye sitting quietly on the bed.
As soon as I closed my eyes, my whole body began to tremble involuntarily.
The scenes of artillery bombardment in broad daylight kept appearing in his mind like a punishment from heaven.
"How did the Yan Nation gain control of such divine and demonic power..."
"However, in this case, I no longer have any reason to continue to obey Zhu Hongwu's orders."
"After all, I have to thank the emperor of Yan Country."
"If it weren't for him doing this, I would probably have to work for Zhu Hongwu."
Having said that, Xu Chengye smiled helplessly and shook his head.
In fact, Jiang Chen had already explained the story of Zhu Yuanzhang's substitution of a cat for a crown prince in his letter.
Xu Chengye has already believed that the current "Tian Min" is Zhu Hongwu in disguise.
The reason why he did not choose to join Jiang Chen immediately was because Xu Chengye was very afraid that the 150,000 defenders of Shanyang Pass under his command would mutiny.
Because they wouldn't believe that Zhu Hongwu pretended to be Tian Min...
Thinking of this, Xu Chengye made up his mind completely.
Early the next morning, Xu Chengye rode on his mounts with his deputy general and five commanders.
Under the escort of five hundred personal guards, he walked out of the gate of Shanyang Pass.
He came all the way to the Yan State camp and shouted loudly to the Yan State soldiers guarding outside the camp.
"Qi State Commander Xu Chengye requests to see Yan State Emperor!"
Hearing Xu Chengye's words, the Yan soldiers guarding the camp drew their bows and arrows and aimed at Xu Chengye and his group.
Even the musketeers of the Shenji Camp who were guarding in the dark pointed their muskets at Xu Chengye.
After feeling that he was being targeted, Xu Chengye did not react at all.
He just sat quietly on his mount, letting the soldiers he brought with him feel at ease.
Soon, the news of Xu Chengye's visit reached Jiang Chen's central military tent.
When Jiang Chen heard the news that Xu Chengye had brought people here, he immediately laughed.
Then, he looked at Gongsun Liang on the side and said with a smile.
"Gongsun, it seems that Marshal Xu is ready to surrender."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, for finding another talented person."
Gongsun Liang on the side stood up and congratulated Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Hahaha, alright, alright, just come with me to meet this Marshal Xu!"
"Liang, I obey your command."
In this way, Jiang Chen rode on the Qilin monster and came to the gate of the Yan Kingdom camp under the protection of Gongsun Liang, Long Yi and other Eighteen Ghost Valley Warriors.
Xu Chengye, who was already getting a little impatient, was about to ask questions to the Yan soldiers guarding the village tower.
But he saw that the gate of the Yan State camp was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the inside by the Yan State soldiers guarding it.
Soon after, he saw Jiang Chen and his companions riding on the Qilin monster, slowly walking towards him.
Looking at Jiang Chen in dragon-slaying armor, Xu Chengye couldn't help but feel a strong sense of oppression from Jiang Chen.
This feeling of oppression was the same aura that Xu Chengye had felt from Tian Min before.
But Xu Chengye could clearly feel the royal aura from Jiang Chen.
It was many times more intense than what he felt from Tian Min!
"General Xu Chengye pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor Yan!"
"Your Majesty, please accept my service!"
