Staring down at the surrendered general, King Tu Nan said expressionlessly, "What rank do you live in in Daye?"

Lu Chengye respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, I am a fifth-grade general."

King Tu Nan said in a deep voice: "You have made great contributions to the city. I will make you the third-rank commander of the south courtyard of Huangting. You will be given [-] lands, a viscount, and [-] households. You will be hereditary!"

The Huangting has a two-chamber system, the North and the South. The North is in charge of the nobles of the Huangren, and the South is in charge of the people in the Daye territory.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am humbled by my position and am willing to serve as a desolate court. I will live in ruins and will not give up even if I die!"

Lu Chengye was stunned and kowtowed in ecstasy, feeling that this betrayal was worth it.

In Daye, even if he works hard for another twenty years, he still won't be able to reach the third level!

As soon as he took refuge with Huangren, he was promoted to the third rank, and even received a title, which was hereditary.

At this moment, he wished he could immediately help Huang Ren and destroy the Daye Dynasty.

King Tu Nan climbed up the city wall, stared at the dragon's head pass of blood and fire, took out a pot of wine and poured it on the city wall, his cold and stern eyes revealed regret: "Wu Mu, I originally planned this game for you, but it's a pity that Emperor Daye I'll kill you because of my stupidity. But it won't be long before I, the king, will ride into the imperial capital and take the head of the dog emperor to pay homage to you, the only opponent who defeated me!"

The wine pot was placed at the top of the city. King Tu Nan put his hands behind his back, his cloak fluttering in the wind. His tall figure was like a solitary peak, exuding desolation and loneliness.

The shouting of killing at Longtou Pass lasted for an hour before it stopped!

A young man wearing an animal skin hat and silver armor went upstairs: "Father, Longtou Pass has been taken, but I don't understand why you made a traitor such a big official and gave him a title and so much land. !”

King Tu Nan smiled slightly: "Agucha, if you want a dog to help you bite people, you have to feed it bones. Remember, our desert people are in the expansion period, and only generous rewards can attract more generals of great cause to work for me. The barren people work hard for their lives. As for some land, we can get it by conquering more."

The young man Agucha frowned.

The Huang people value bravery, but they look down upon some traitors who seek glory!

Glancing at the young man's expression, King Tu Nan's eyes darkened: "Agucha, you have to remember! A qualified king has no personal likes and dislikes. No matter he is a traitor or a warrior, as long as he can be used by you, you must treat him equally. Merits will be rewarded and mistakes will be punished.”

The young man Agucha nodded blankly.

Looking into the dark night, King Tu Nan said quietly: "As a crown prince, you have to look further, beyond the boundaries of the wilderness and the great cause. As far as you can see, your pasture will be as far as you can."

"……Um!"

Agucha nodded blankly, glanced down and said, "Father, all the prisoners are here!"

In the urn city, there was a darkness of people, all of whom were captured Daye soldiers.

There were [-] people guarding Longtou Pass, and [-] were under Lu Chengye's command. Five thousand were killed, more than [-] escaped, and nearly [-] were captured.

King Tu Nan glanced down and said: "Select five thousand people, let them kill their own officers, and then give them the title of Feng Huangting, and then let them go back overnight."

Agucha's eyes lit up: "Father, I understand. In this way, when we attack Jiushan County, these people will become our swords, and we can cooperate internally and externally. By then, it will be easy to conquer Jiushan County!" "

King Tu Nan nodded slightly, looked into the sky and murmured: "Wu Mu, Wu Mu, do you know that without your opponent, the great cause has become my pasture, and taking it is like picking something out of a bag, without any sense of accomplishment."

……

"Brother Yuan, something serious has happened!"

At noon the next day, Wang Yuan, who was sleeping in a daze, suddenly heard shouting.

"What's the matter? Are you panicking?"

Looking at the group of people Hu Mengying, Wang Sihai, Dahu, and Erhu who broke into the house, they all had panic expressions. Wang Yuan yawned and said: "I haven't told you that the most important thing for a man is concentration. If the mountain collapses before it, Without changing his color, the elk is moving to the left but his eyes are not blinking! Calm down and speak slowly!"

Dahu, Erhu, and a group of teenagers looked ashamed!

Hu Mengying said slowly: "King Tu Nan captured Longtou Pass last night!"

boom!

Wang Yuan was shocked as if he heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

It has only been three days since the deserters attacked Longtou Pass, and they have captured it!

It has been promised that the gate will be forged through the ages and be impregnable, and that one man will be able to guard the gate and that no ten thousand men can open it!

Are all the gatekeepers trash?

Looking at Wang Yuan with an unchanging expression, the boy from Dawang Village was in awe of him: As expected of Brother Yuan, he didn't even blink when he heard about such a big event!

"Now the defeated generals at Longtou Pass and the people from the north are rushing to the county town!"

Hu Mengying said slowly: "Many of the wealthy families in the city did not pack up their belongings and took Xinruan out of the city directly. Many people said that Jiushan County could not hold it anymore and they were all in a hurry to evacuate. Should we leave now. "

"Would you like to go?"

Wang Yuan frowned.

Longtou Pass was lost, and the deserters quickly came to Jiushan County. Fei Cang was on his way to advance.

In this way, even if you return to Fu County, you will not be able to get salt in the future!

It means that during this trip, except for selling three Tang knives, I didn't get anything.

I'm not willing to leave like this!

But don’t leave, Longtou Pass is so dangerous, King Tu Nan can break it in three days!

How long can this Jiushan County last with Xue Pan's ability?

"Brother Yuan!"

Suddenly Wang Ergou walked over quickly: "Brother Fei Niuqi is here with the people from Lao Feizhuang."

Wang Yuan came to the courtyard.

The seven Fei Niu brothers brought up their family, and Lao Fei, a merchant with hundreds of kitchen households, looked around timidly, each carrying a bag of salt with a look of horror on his face.

"I have seen my grace!"

Fei Niu quickly knelt down to salute, and the old Fei Zhuang kitchen owner knelt down with a loud cheer!

"What are you doing? Don't you know my temper? Get up!"

Pulling up Fei Niu and rubbing Fei Niu's head, Wang Yuan turned around and said, "Er Gou, go prepare food for the villagers. Si Hai, go out and collect more food?"

Fei Niu quickly waved his hand, pointed at the salt bag and said: "My dear benefactor, we are not here to seek refuge with you. The deserters are coming, so you should run away quickly. I took your money last time, and I have cooked a lot of salt in the past few days." , but you can’t carry much, you can only bring so much.”

One by one, the kitchen households put down the salt in their bags and grinned.

Seeing these bitter smiling faces, Wang Yuan's heart was tugged, and he frowned and said: "Then what do you do, what are your plans!"

"I-let's go back to Lao Feizhuang!"

Fei Niu grinned: "Even if the deserters come, they still need someone to boil the salt!"

A group of kitchen households laughed, their eyes were frightened and helpless, and they looked at a loss!

Wang Yuan looked worried.

When deserters attack a city, they will inevitably gather the surrounding people to serve as cannon fodder for the siege.

It doesn’t matter what household registration the people have.

But where can he escape with these kitchen households?

If we go back south to Fuxian, we don't have to hold on for a while, and the deserters will still fight through.

"What are you still freaking out about? Didn't you hear that Huang Ren broke through Longtou Pass?"

At this moment, Li Sansi came over and said: "According to the speed of the Huangren's advance, the troops will arrive outside Jiushan County tomorrow. Let's leave as soon as possible. If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave."

Wang Yuan frowned: "Where are you going? Longtou Pass is so strong that even King Tu Nan broke through it. At this pace, how long can Jiushan County hold on!"

"No matter how long we last, it's enough for us to leave!"

Li Sansi said anxiously: "Let's go back to Fu County and take Shihan to Zhoucheng. If Zhoucheng is not safe yet, we will go to the capital."

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "What if the deserters attack the capital?"

Li Sansi meowed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Impossible, impossible!"

"Why is it impossible?"

Wang Yuan sneered: "It took only a few days to attack Jiushan County. The common people, wealthy families, and county officials all wanted to escape, and no one wanted to resist. If everyone left and was gone, leaving only an empty city, what fighting spirit would those soldiers have?" I'm afraid that without the Huangren attacking, the soldiers are thinking of surrendering. If everyone doesn't leave and gathers together to defend the city, I don't believe that the Huangren have three heads and six arms and can capture Jiushan County."

Hu Mengying, Dahu, Erhu and the rest of the Dawang Village nodded their heads.

There was hope in the eyes of Lao Feizhuang Zaohu.

"Defend the city!"

Li Sansi was shocked: "You are crazy. You are a scholar and have no power to tie a chicken. How can you defend the city!"

Wang Yuan said coldly: "I am a scholar, and I am powerless, but as long as we don't run away and stand on the top of the city, I believe those soldiers will have a little more strength when they resist the deserters!"

Li Sansi wanted to say more, a voice sounded!

"it is good!"

Wang Haitian came with Wang Zhonglou: "Brother, you are right. As long as our army and people are united, it is entirely possible to defeat them!"

Wang Yuan turned around and smiled: "Brother Haitian, why are you here!"

"I can't do it if I don't come!"

Wang Haitian came closer and whispered: "I know your temper, and you are unwilling to escape like this. However, with the way Jiushan County is like this, I'm afraid it won't last long. I came here to entrust Chonglou to you and let you Take him away with you and preserve the last bloodline for my Wang family."

Wang Yuan frowned: "What about you, brother?"

Wang Haitian smiled casually: "You are right. If all the rich people leave, how can the soldiers have the confidence to defend the city. I am an old man who plans to stay here to inspire the fighting spirit of those soldiers. After all, I am the number one scholar. I can stand in the city. It can boost some morale on your head!"

Wang Chonglou whispered: "Uncle, let's go, you are not a court official!"

"To shut up!"

Wang Haitian said with a straight face: "At this time, someone has to sacrifice. At my age, death is worth it. You are still young. The most important thing is that I have talents from all over the world. I can't stay and take risks!"

"My benefactor, just listen to the Number One Scholar and leave here as soon as possible. It's too dangerous to stay! We came to you to thank you, not to drag you down. Please leave as soon as possible!"

On the side, Fei Niu knelt down again, banged his head three times, led more than two hundred villagers in Lao Feizhuang, turned around and left quickly!

"Fei Niu, Fei donkey..."

Looking at this group of kitchen households, Wang Yuan's heart felt like it was being pulled, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a voice full of fighting spirit sounded: "Sir, if you don't want to leave, just stay and fight with me. I am confident that I can defeat King Tu Nan and defend Jiushan County and the people in the city."

When everyone turned around, they saw the handsome young commander Wu Ling, standing as straight as a spear in the yard.

"Okay, I'll stay, and we'll meet with King Tu Nan for a while!"

Wang Yuan, who was reluctant at first, looked at Wu Ling's heroic appearance, and his heart was full of fighting spirit.

"Brother, don't lose your temper!"

Wang Haitian pulled Wang Yuan and glared at Wu Ling: "Wu Ling, I know your ability to lead troops, but you have no official position now, and the one who leads the troops is Xue Pan, a playboy. No matter how great your talents are, you can't use them!"
