Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 710 Occupying Xianyang City

It was too late for Cao Peng to regret it now. Xie Liancheng's three-pointed two-edged knife penetrated his chest and directly pierced his heart. His body fell to the ground with a 'thud'.

The sound made the hearts of countless soldiers at the scene twitch.

One of the archers on the opposite side subconsciously opened his bow and fired an arrow.

Zhou Chongshan, who caught a glimpse of the opponent's movements, moved faster. He bent his bow and set an arrow. His movements were as smooth as clouds and water. Without seeing how he aimed, he shot the archer to the ground with one arrow! That's a neat move!
【Ouch! Amazing! 】

Zhou Chongshan's archery skills made Xie Liancheng's eyes light up.

When the opponent made the first move, Zhou Chongshan was able to strike first and shoot the opponent down without even releasing his arrow. This move was quite valuable.

Now it seems that if I fight archery alone, I am afraid that I may not be this guy's opponent.

While these thoughts were passing through his mind, Xie Liancheng himself was not idle either. He quickly untied the package hanging on the saddle, revealing the head covered with a layer of lime inside.

"The head of the tyrant Yan Sheng is here! This general has abandoned the dark side and surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty! Put down your weapons, kneel down and surrender! Those who resist in this corner will die!!"

Suddenly, the scene was in an uproar!
Although Xie Liancheng has no ability to lead troops, it is an indisputable fact that the army worships the strong. In addition, Cao Peng died so simply, and Yan Sheng's head was even held in his hands. Now Xie Liancheng said this Yelling, among the remaining soldiers in front of him, no one dared to move.

Afterwards, no one knew who lost the weapon first, and the soldiers on the opposite side quickly fell to their knees.

Xie Liancheng didn't need to say much after that. The trapped camp headed by Zhou Chongshan quickly stepped forward to collect their weapons and take the surrendered soldiers into custody.

Jie Liancheng, on the other hand, led a team of people and headed straight to his mansion as quickly as possible.

From the summer expedition to now, he has not been home for almost half a year. He is worried about the safety of his wife and children. Now it can be said that he is ready to return home.

During this period, the groups of soldiers who had been hiding near the mansion and waiting for the signal undoubtedly found out about Liancheng's existence.

"Oh my god, it's the general! What should we do now?"

"What should we do? We didn't send a signal! Let's just pretend we haven't been here and let's go! Let's go quickly!"

They did not dare to show their heads during the whole process, and the few groups of soldiers who retreated in a low-key manner quickly returned to the camp to resume their duties.

They obviously didn't know that the camp had changed. As soon as they arrived at the camp, they were immediately arrested without even the slightest resistance.

Jie Liancheng obviously didn't know that there was such an episode. He opened the door and entered the mansion directly. When he saw the servants in the mansion, he hurriedly asked...

"Where are the madam and young master?"

As soon as he asked this question, he heard a young child's obviously excited voice in the distance.

"Dad!"

This shout made Xie Liancheng's frown instantly relax.

The next second, he followed the sound and saw a child wearing a tiger-head cotton hat and a tiger-like head running towards him.

Xie Liancheng immediately beamed with joy, knelt down, picked up the child and spun him around several times.

The child laughed loudly under the pull of centrifugal force, finding it extremely funny.

During this period, I heard a movement, and a woman with a capable temperament came out of the house.

Then he looked at the idiot who hadn't been home for half a year and was holding his son in a crazy circle when he came back. He rolled his eyes angrily, but he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

"That's almost it. Do you want to stun your son?"

Hearing this, Jie Liancheng laughed twice and put his son on the ground.

"Go and play by yourself while Dad talks to your mother for a while." Xie Liancheng's son was obedient and went to play obediently.

After walking into the house and looking at her husband, whom she had not seen for almost half a year, the woman asked.

"The war is over? You can always rest at home for a few years this time, right?"

Regarding Yan Sheng's suspicion of him, Xie Liancheng did not hide it from his wife, so his wife also knew that Yan Sheng was in need, so she transferred her husband to the front line, and when nothing happened, he immediately dismissed him military power and throw it back to the capital.

As a wife, rather than letting her husband guard the border all year round, she would rather Xie Liancheng be idle in the capital mansion, where it would be safe and their family could be reunited.

However, the emperor's suspicion also made her very worried.

Looking at his worried wife, Xie Liancheng felt guilty.

"Aru, listen to me."

While talking, Xie Liancheng closed the door and informed the other party that Yan Sheng was dead and had surrendered to Dazhou.

This shocking news made Aru's mind go blank, and it took him a while to sort out his situation.

"Is the emperor of Zhou Dynasty reliable? Will he..."

Aru was worried that the emperor of Zhou Dynasty was just like Yan Sheng and was suspicious of her husband. If so, his husband, as a subordinated general, might not have a good life there.

Seeing this, Xie Liancheng quickly shook his head, and then spoke with a firm tone...

"No, the king of Dazhou is my little brother. He and I grew up together. To me, there is no one more trustworthy than him here."

Although she didn't know where her husband's little brother came from, Aru also knew in her heart that because of Yan Sheng's suspicion, her husband pretended to be a fool on the surface, but in fact he acted like a fool. , they all have a clue in their hearts.

Since the other party had already spoken for this reason, as her wife, Aru naturally chose to believe and support her.

"Then do we have to leave immediately?"

"Need not."

Xie Liancheng shook his head.

"Now I have led Zhou's troops to occupy Xianyang City. Later, my brothers will come over. I will guard Xianyang City and wait."

As the other two remaining forces on this side, Liu De and Long Aotian, who is currently in charge of Feiyan City, probably would not have thought that Green Forest City and Xianyang City would fall one after another in such a short period of time.

At this moment, the two sides haven't even heard the slightest news.

One day later, Zhou Xu's eyes lit up when he saw the pigeon captured by one of his subordinates in the palace of the city lord of Green Forest City.

"Is this a homing pigeon?"

While speaking, Zhou Xu looked down and saw a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg.

When Zhou Xu saw it, he couldn't wait to untie the bamboo tube, pour out the secret letter inside and read it.

There is not much content in it, just one sentence, "Xianyang City has been captured", and the inscription is the word "Jie".

"Yes, this carrier pigeon is very efficient. My old friend told me before that it takes almost five days to ride light horses from Green Forest City to Xianyang City, but this carrier pigeon can fly there in a day and a half at most."

After Xie Liancheng officially surrendered, the method of flying pigeons on the opposite side to deliver messages was also officially revealed to him. Some of the carrier pigeons now placed in the city can already be used by him.

It is no exaggeration to say that the emergence of homing pigeons will greatly improve the communication efficiency of this era!
