Chapter 230 Deng Jun Enters Wucheng
Chapter 230: Deng Jun enters Wucheng
Zhou Kai, facing a choice, was a little at a loss. The Grand Governor of the Wu Kingdom, who used to be so arrogant and guided the country, would have a day of dilemma today. Such a choice would be better than die, at least not have to worry about it.
After the word "death" appeared in Zhou Kai's mind, it lasted for a long time. Perhaps death was the best relief. So Zhou Kai's face appeared resolutely and said to Ling Rong: "General Ling, I already know about it. You go down first. Come to find me again tomorrow, and there will be a solution."
"Here! Then I will come to see the Grand Commander again tomorrow!" Ling Rong was overjoyed when he heard Zhou Kai say that there was a way, and then retreated.
After Wenling left, Zhou Kai looked at the sword hanging on the rack and said nothing for a long time. Time slowly passed and it was already dark. After the leader came to deliver the meal to Zhou Kai, Zhou Kai looked around the tent of the central army, silently finished the meal, then walked to the desk, wrote a letter, placed it on the desk, then walked to the stand, picked up the sword that he had followed him for many years.
Zhou Kai gently stroked the sword and murmured: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are in a dilemma. Father, I can only let you down. King, Zhou Kai will accompany you now and apologize to you on behalf of the Zhou family." After that, he pulled out the sword, crossed his neck, and stroked it hard. With a blood arrow spraying out, Zhou Kai fell to the ground, looked at the big tent, and silently closed his eyes.
At this time, the Wu army camp was quiet, and no one knew that Zhou Kai had committed suicide. Early the next morning, Ling Rong came to the central army tent. The Wu army generals Mali and Zhu Jun came with him. They also heard Ling Rong say that Zhou Kai had already thought of a solution, so they all wanted to come and listen.
Everyone asked for a meeting outside the tent, but there was no reaction in the tent. At first, everyone thought that Zhou Kai had not yet gotten up, so they waited outside the tent again. After half an hour, there was no movement in the tent. Everyone called Zhou Kai again, but no one responded, and then they realized that something was wrong.
Everyone broke into the central army's tent, but found that Zhou Kai was lying on the ground. His body was already cold and there was still a large pool of blood on the ground. Everyone realized that Zhou Kai had committed suicide, and he was immediately sad and cried around Zhou Kai's body.
After crying, Ling Rong walked to the desk and saw the letter left by Zhou Kai. When he opened it, he found that it was Zhou Kai's last words. Zhou Kai said that he would bear great responsibility for the destruction of Wu Kingdom because his family led the attack on Wucheng. He could not refuse the blame and lived in the world without the face. So he committed suicide and ordered that after his death, the army would be led by Wen Ling to surrender to Deng's army.
After Ling Rong and others buried Zhou Kai in a hurry, they followed Zhou Kai's last wish and led the army to surrender to the chief general of Deng's army Yue Fei.
Yue Fei had known about what happened in Wucheng for a long time. He was still thinking that if Zhou Kai could surrender, he would have to ask Deng Sheng for his orders to lead the army alone. However, what he did not expect was that Zhou Kai was so tragic that he used his death to end the end of Wu Kingdom.
After receiving the surrender, Yue Fei buried Zhou Kai with a marquis' courtesy. This move also made Yue Fei initially conquered the surrendered soldiers of the Wu army.
Just when Yue Fei surrendered the Wu army in Yi County, Huan Heng from Niuzhu, Lu Feng from Lingyang, and Wenling from the county in Lingyang also surrendered to the Deng army at the same time. At this point, all the Wu army forces in Danyang and Wu County surrendered, and the road to the Deng army to Wucheng was also smooth.
On November 20, the 16th year of Qianyuan, Yue Fei led 70,000 troops to Wucheng. At the same time, Chang Yuchun also led 40,000 troops to cross the Yangtze River south and headed towards Wucheng.
On the first day of December of the 16th year of Qianyuan, Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun met in Wucheng. A group of Jiangdong families, led by Zhang Yong, Xie Quan, Lu Bai and Zhou Zhuan, welcomed Yue Fei's army into the city outside Wucheng.
After Yue Fei entered the city, he immediately sealed the ancestral temple and palace of Wu, and sent a group of Sun clan members and a group of surrendered ministers of Wu to Wancheng. However, Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun said nothing about Zhang Yong and others who executed Ma and her son. When the Ma family persecuted Princess Tai'an, the Qiu Deng family still remembered it. It would not be easy for Ma to go to Wancheng. Instead of suffering from Wancheng, it would be better to die in Wucheng. Moreover, now the daughter of Princess Tai'an, Xiling Wengzhu, is his daughter-in-law. From another perspective, Ma and her son are still enemies of him, so Yue Fei would not care even more, but Yue Fei still used this incident to hit the Jiangdong family.
After entering Wucheng, Yue Fei sent people to Danyang and various parts of Wu County to Zhangbang and Anmin. At first, the people of Wu were still a little panicked about the arrival of Deng's army, but after seeing Deng's army entering the city, they did not commit any crime. With the assistance of a Jiangdong family, the two counties quickly settled down. The people who were forcibly enlisted by the King of Wu in the past also returned to their hometowns one after another, living a life of working from sunrise and resting at sunset.
After doing all this, Yue Fei led his army to stay in Wucheng, one for the unstable Jiangdong, and the other for the purpose of waiting for Deng Sheng's order and the local officials who came to take over the Jiangdong counties.
Since February of the 16th year of Qianyuan, the Deng army began to advance eastward. After ten months, it finally destroyed the Wu Kingdom. If the planning begins, Deng Kingdom spent several years to destroy Wu. At this point, Deng Kingdom has completely settled for half of the south. Although there are Yue Kingdom and Southern Kingdom in the south, Deng Sheng said that he never regarded them as opponents. To destroy these two countries, as long as Deng Sheng wanted, he only needed a guard. However, Deng's main task is to recover his vitality as soon as possible, digest the dividends brought by destroying Wu, and then observe the success or failure of the Central Plains, take advantage of the momentum, accumulate strength to compete for the Central Plains and unify the world.
Just as Yue Fei's troops entered Wucheng, Deng Sheng, who was in Wancheng, also learned from the system that the war ended. After the battle to destroy Wu ended, Deng Sheng received a large number of rewards for the battle point from the system.
"Ding! The battle to destroy Wu ends, and this battle is divided into five parts.
1. The Battle of Water Village, Deng Jun won, and the reward of 200 points in the battle point
2. The Battle of Southern Yuzhang, Deng Jun won, and rewarded 150 points for the battle point
3. Chaohu encirclement and annihilation battle, Deng Jun won, rewarded 150 points for the hegemony
4. Battle of Huaihe River, Deng Jun wins, rewards 100 points for the battle point
Five, Battle of Yinling, Deng Jun wins, rewards 200 points for the battle
Complete two system tasks
1. Expand territory, occupy the five counties of Jiujiang, Lujiang, Yuzhang, Danyang and Wujun, and reward the 500 points of the battle point.
2. The battle to destroy the country, reward 300 points for hegemony
In this battle, the single four-dimensional characters above 90 have pictures, Pan Qing, Lu Ao, Lu Su, and the reward points for 40 points
A total of 1640 points of the Battle Point were obtained, and the current owner has 2700 points of the Battle Point."
In Ganyang Palace in Wancheng, Deng Sheng heard the system's prompt and looked at the fallen snow outside the door. He was relieved. Wu State was finally destroyed. This battle to destroy the country can be said to be the most difficult and the casualties were the battle. Although Deng State won, Deng State suffered a considerable loss. Nearly 80,000 elite soldiers died. Although Wu State surrendered troops were supplemented by Wu State, the losses were still great. After all, Deng State lost all elite troops, and the water of Wu State surrendered troops was relatively large, with different quality. Without a period of rectification, it was difficult to integrate into the Deng army.
However, after destroying the Wu Kingdom, Deng State also wiped out the last major concern for going north to the Central Plains. From then on, Deng's army went north without any obstacles. Since Wu Kingdom was destroyed, Deng Sheng turned his attention to the upcoming battle between the Central Plains and Hebei. This battle will change the pattern of the whole world. However, this war may be difficult to calm down in a few years. As long as Deng State can recover its vitality before the end of the war, or even go further, Deng Sheng does not mind being able to make a splash in this battle and gain some benefits.
