Chapter 331: Chisha County's Submission
After resting for a night in Zhao Yongning's house.
Jiang Chen arrived at the county governor's mansion, and Huo Xiang and other northern border generals had already gathered here.
Originally Jiang Chen thought that after learning that Chiwan County was conquered by him.
The people in the county town will hold a protest march...
However, after seeing that the Northern Army did not carry out a massacre in the city as Wang Derun had said before.
The people of Chiwan County all calmed down and did not protest or make any trouble.
However, compared to this, what worries Jiang Chen more now is actually...
The situation of the 150,000-strong army led by Xiong Kehui and others!
According to the intelligence , Chunning City has learned the news of the fall of Chiwan County.
The next step is likely to be to urgently dispatch reinforcements to support Rongtai County!
But now, there has been no news from Xiong Kehui and others for three days.
This made Jiang Chen start to worry...
Have Xiong Kehui and others already engaged in combat with Bei Ming's reinforcements?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen expressed his concerns to Gongsun Liang and the other generals.
After hearing Jiang Chen's concerns, Gongsun Liang stepped forward first.
"My Lord, Liang thinks you are worrying too much."
"General Xiong Kehui is a veteran who has been guarding the border for many years, and he is accompanied by two generals, Han Zhong and Du Mingyu."
"Even if we run into reinforcements from Beiming, nothing will happen."
"What's more, Bei Ming now only has 100,000 soldiers left."
"Among these troops, 50,000 are stationed in Chunning City, the capital."
"So, even if Beiming sent reinforcements."
"General Xiong's methods and experience are enough to deal with it."
Judging from the current situation, what Gongsun Liang said is indeed right.
The Qi State is now divided into two factions because of its continuous support for the Northern Ming.
They have no time to take into account Beiming's current situation, and it is even more impossible for them to send reinforcements to help Beiming.
In this case, all Jiang Chen needs to do.
That is to wait for news from Xiong Kehui after conquering Rongtai County.
He then led his troops directly northward and attacked Chunning City!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen gradually felt relieved and asked Huo Xiang and Guo Qing who had just joined the team.
"Have the 20,000 county soldiers in Chisha County sent back any reply?"
After conquering Chiwan County, Jiang Chen sent Guo Qing.
A letter was sent to the 20,000 Chiwan County soldiers stationed in Chisha County.
Jiang Chen's plan was to use these 20,000 county soldiers for his own purposes.
It would be best if we could gain the loyalty of these 20,000 county soldiers without bloodshed.
Originally Jiang Chen didn't have much hope, but that's where the coincidence came from.
The commander of the 20,000 soldiers in Chisha County was Guo Qing's best friend.
After hearing the news, Jiang Chen gained some confidence.
In response to Jiang Chen's question, Guo Qing took out a reply letter from his arms.
He walked forward, handed it to Jiang Chen, and explained.
"My Lord, this is the reply from my good friend."
After taking the letter from Guo Qing, Jiang Chen began to read it.
After reading the letter in his hand, Jiang Chen's mouth curled up slightly.
"Hahaha, Guo Qing, you've done a great deed this time!"
"After we completely conquer the Northern Ming territory, I will personally report to Emperor Xia."
Jiang Chen said to Guo Qing with a smile on his face.
I heard that Jiang Chen was going to write a letter to the Emperor of Xia personally to ask for a reward on my behalf.
Guo Qing excitedly knelt on the ground and bowed to Jiang Chen.
"I will always follow you, my lord, and serve you wholeheartedly!"
Looking at the grateful Guo Qing, Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, then continued.
"Okay, you should get up first. I still have something to say."
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Guo Qing finally came to his senses and stood behind Huo Xiang.
After Guo Qing returned to his position, Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at his subordinates.
Then Jiang Chen stood up and spoke to everyone.
"Chisha County has announced its surrender to our Northern Territory. This is the case."
"Chiwan County will completely belong to my northern border!"
"I have decided to wait until the news from Rongtai County is reported back before marching into Chunning City!"
Hearing this, the expressions of Huo Xiang and others became solemn.
Is this war, which has lasted for months, finally coming to an end?
Since it is almost over, they must try to destroy one more country before it ends!
Add another great achievement to your life's achievements.
Therefore, whether it was the veterans such as Huo Xiang, Li Yuanyi and Yuan Hao, or Guo Qing who had just joined the army.
Several of them saluted Jiang Chen with high fighting spirit and shouted loudly.
"Occupy Chunning and destroy Beiming!"
"Occupy Chunning and destroy Beiming!!"
…
Just as Jiang Chen was excited about Chisha County's surrender.
In the neighboring Rongtai County, Xiong Kehui was strolling on the streets with Han Zhong and Du Mingyu.
Looking at the people coming and going on the street and the busy traffic.
Xiong Kehui couldn't help but speak to the two people behind him with deep emotion.
"I never thought that Rongtai County could be taken down just like that ."
Hearing this, Du Mingyu couldn't help but curl his lips.
He hooked Xiong Kehui's shoulder with a helpless look on his face and spoke slowly.
"I say, old bear, what's there to be sad about?"
"Our northern army has not suffered a defeat so far this time when it marched north."
"A small county governor is facing our 150,000-strong army."
"Then isn't it normal to just choose to surrender?"
Han Zhong, who was standing by, heard this and gave Du Mingyu a look of disdain.
Du Mingyu, a reckless man, never thought about the reason why the governor of Rongtai County did this.
"General Xiong, ignore this guy."
"It's been three days. We have to contact the Lord as soon as possible."
"I think the lord must be getting impatient now."
Han Zhong said this as he pushed Du Mingyu aside.
Du Mingyu has become accustomed to Han Zhong's attitude towards him.
After all, he had made Han Zhong speechless many times before.
Xiong Kehui, who was standing by, nodded in agreement after hearing Han Zhong's words.
"General Han is right. I have been busy these days trying to instigate the soldiers of Rongtai County to rebel."
"I almost forgot the most important thing. I will go back and send a letter to my lord by carrier pigeon."
After saying that, Xiong Kehui said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Looking at Xiong Kehui's departing back, Han Zhong looked at Du Meng again.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"It seems that the next target of the lord is Chunning City."
"Old Du, it's time for us to go back. Those county soldiers are still waiting for us to deal with them."
Hearing this, Du Mingyu turned around with Han Zhong and walked towards the training ground in Rongtai County.
Ever since Rongtai County announced its surrender to the Northern Border, Xiong Kehui handed these county soldiers over to Han Zhong and Du Mingyu for training.
