Chapter 1023: Unification
In just a moment, the entire Chu army camp surrendered.
This actually did not exceed Chen Kaizhi's prediction. Before, he released Liang Xiao, which was essentially a strategy to attack the heart.
Although the entire Chu army would be in panic when they learned that the main force of the Chen army had begun to arrive, after all, the Chen army had few soldiers, and the Chu army had hundreds of thousands, which could be said to be a huge force.
And when Liang Xiao was released and he had to pass on the words of only pursuing Xiang Zheng, it was enough to make the Chu army, who were in fear and dissatisfied with Xiang Zheng, explode.
Today, Chen Kaizhi ordered Liang Xiao to lead the Chu army to attack Chu State, which was essentially a kind of attacking strategy. He expressed to these surrendered generals and ministers of Chu State that Chen Kai did not care about letting the tiger return to the mountain. If these Chu troops rebelled again, the Chen army could still easily go south and destroy Chu State. The previous destruction of Hu had proved the combat power of the Chen army. This time, it was easy for them to attack Chu State, which also proved that in Chen Kaizhi's heart, he was never worried about the rebellion of the Chu army.
The more you have such confidence, the more you will make these surrendered ministers and generals who have already killed the monarch, dare not have any unfair intentions.
Appointing Liang Xiao as the general is a great deal.
Who doesn’t know that Liang Xiao was once Xiang Zheng’s confidant, but Chen Kaizhi trusted him very much. So... even Liang Xiao was not held accountable for the crime. Others were worried that Chen Kaizhi would settle the score after the autumn because they were Chu Chen? Even Liang Xiao gave such trust. So... Why should others, in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, worry that they would be alienated?
What's more, this time it is clearly intended to make a contribution. With this contribution, although not to mention wealth and honor in the future, the treatment after surrender can be more or less guaranteed, and it will not be worse in the past.
This is why these Chu ministers suddenly fell into the ground and everyone was excited. Psychologically, because of Chen Kaizhi's destruction of Hu and Xiang Zheng's defeat, they began to have no barriers to the Great Chen Emperor. But now, Chen Kaizhi gave them hope, making them realize that even if they were the Chu people, they could still look forward to their future prospects. At this time, they had no doubts anymore and began to become devoted.
"Long live my emperor."
Chen Kaizhi knew that hundreds of years of estrangement needed to be gradually eliminated, but now, it was obviously just the first step. He immediately sat down and said, "Bring people in."
The ones who were brought were two military officers, but when they saw that they were dressed, they were not Chen or Chu, but a deputy general of the Shu army and a guerrilla general of the Yue army.
"Give me your life!" The two bowed down together, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
The Shu army, as well as the Yue army, which came with the Chu army, were not large in scale and were not like the Chu State. Now, both armies have been defeated, especially after the Wu and Chu army were destroyed by the Vietnamese army, the Yue army had no leader and was almost slaughtered.
As for the Shu army, this time they were just a coordinated relationship with the Chu army. Once the Chu army surrendered, they naturally fell into an embarrassing situation.
Chen Kaizhi sat on the chair, leaning back slightly, showing his majestic look: "Come on the name?"
"My minister, Hong Jian! He is the deputy general of the Shu army."
"My minister Xi Zhirong, he was a guerrilla in the Vietnamese army..."
Chen Kaizhi smiled: "You are all following the orders of your master to invade the boundaries of my Dachen. Now, we have come, but what are you saying?"
Hong Jian was already in a state of sacredness. He was just following the order to follow the Chu army to fight some Qiufeng. Unexpectedly, the Chen army defeated the Chu army. As soon as the news came out, the Shu army was actually in chaos, because everyone knew that once the Chen army defeated the Hu army, Xiliang would inevitably change its ownership. At that time, Hanzhong of Shu was exposed to the Chen army's edge. Then, the Chu army surrendered without taking over, and even the Chu State was afraid that it would be in danger.
Once the Chen army recovered Chu and Xiliang, the world would have occupied half of the world. Although Shu was known as the country of Tianfu and had natural barriers as a barrier, once Chu and Xiliang were taken down, it means that the Chen army could attack Shu from both Hanzhong and Baidi. However, their lonely army would not be the opponent of Chen army. There was no way to heaven, no door to the ground, and no place to die.
Hong Jian kowtowed like pounding garlic: "I have nothing to say. Shu is guilty, I hope Your Majesty will punish you severely."
At this moment, I could only hope for Chen Kaizhi's kindness, but Chen Kaizhi smiled: "Even if you are guilty, it is not your fault. You are just a group of ministers who obey orders. In my eyes, the guilty one is the King of Shu!"
There was a trap in ambushing this. The Emperor of Shu had become the King of Shu in Chen Kai's mouth.
Hong Jian naturally did not dare to argue anything. He knew in his heart that this was the plan of disagreement by Emperor Chen. Those who were guilty were all foolish monarchs, and others had the opportunity to abandon darkness and turn to light, but if they wanted to go to the same path with the foolish monarchs, this would be a way of thinking.
The record of destroying Hu has really shocked the world. The 600,000 Hu troops are destroyed and can no longer find any trace of Hu people. In addition, the internal affairs of various countries will definitely have ulterior motives. Many ministers and aristocratic families will definitely try their best to choose a way out for themselves. Chen Kaizhi's words are only the King of Shu. To some extent, it is to tell the people of Shu that they can be Shu or Chen, and they can be ruled by Shu. By the same token, what is the difference between being ruled by Chen Kaizhi?
If one road is to reach the darkness, then an imminent battle is right in front of you. At that time, countless people in Shu will be conscripted, countless people will be brought with them, wearing swords, wearing armor, and fighting the elite Chen army, and even the included Chu army and the Xiliang army. By then, it will be a real catastrophe.
The chance of victory is very slim. Even if you win, it will be a miserable victory. The entire Shu area will be reduced from the country of Heavenly Prefecture to hell. But what is terrible is defeat. Once the Chen army enters Shu, then Chen Kaizhi only pursues the preferential treatment of the King of Shu before, and countless people will be buried with the King of Shu.
Hong Jian was so scared that hesitated and said, "Yes, it's the King of Shu's fault. I'm just doing it on orders. Your Majesty is kind, please..."
This was obviously a helpless move, especially the ministers of Chu who had once been holding hands with him, now they have become surrendered ministers, standing one by one on the side of Chen Kai, staring at him with a fierce look. Even the Chu people have surrendered, Xiliang and the Hu people have also been destroyed. Even if the Shu Kingdom, which has occupied a geographical advantage, can it last until?
