The world worships me as the White Snake Immortal

Chapter 114 A desperate fight to no avail

The army led by Lieutenant General Sun, perhaps now should be said to be General Sun, would eventually return home by being submerged in the torrent of the Sui Dynasty!

They were like insignificant pebbles, making a small ripple on the water, and then quickly sank to the bottom.

Cui Congwu witnessed all this on the city wall.

Seeing his most loyal subordinates fall one after another, he felt extremely sad.

Then he completely lost his mind and began to gather an army to prepare to take the initiative to leave the city and fight the Sui Dynasty to the death.

But at this time, something that panicked Cui Congwu finally appeared.

A large number of soldiers in the city were unwilling to work for him anymore, and were unwilling to struggle for this country that was about to collapse.

They asked Cui Congwu to surrender, because only in this way could they return alive to see their families.

During this time, they heard too many rumors.

The rear is unstable and news of hometown being occupied by rogue bandits is not uncommon.

But even so, Cui Congwu was still recruiting young people from all over the country to join the army.

What hope is there for such a country?
Nowadays, many soldiers cannot bear the inner torture and secretly leave the military camp and return to their hometowns to defend their parents from the attacks of rogue bandits.

There are many such people, and the soldiers who stay in the military camp are worried about their families far away all the time.

If Cui Congwu is willing to dispatch an army from the border to quell the chaos, they will say nothing.

But Cui Congwu never did this from beginning to end. He even continued to recruit young people to join the army. Some soldiers even saw their fathers and brothers in the camp...

The reason why they didn't fight back was because Cui Congwu's attitude towards his soldiers was pretty good, at least he didn't treat them badly because of it.

That's why they asked Cui Congwu to surrender instead of directly tying him up and sending him to the Sui army.

Seeing the soldiers kneeling in front of him, Cui Congwu's eyes almost burst out with fire.

bass!
He drew his sword out of its sheath and quickly killed two soldiers. Then he looked at the others fiercely and said, "Whoever dares to talk about surrender again will end up like them!"

However, even if he threatened with life and death, those soldiers still knelt down, with a posture of not giving up!

Cui Congwu took two deep breaths and cursed angrily: "A bunch of weaklings, weaklings!"

After saying that, Cui Congwu dropped his sword on the ground and led his men who were still loyal to him to ride out of the city to meet the enemy.

But these are ultimately in vain.

No matter how hard he tried, he would still be trampled into mud by the cavalry of the Sui Army with the help of monks from Dishan.

That's exactly what happened.

Cui Congwu's deathbed counterattack had no effect, and he was eventually besieged and died by the Sui generals.

His body was also returned to the Sui camp.

Once Cui Congwu died, the next thing would be much easier to handle.

Before the Sui army could knock on the gate, it suddenly opened, and the Zhou soldiers were willing to surrender.

Li Ji led many Sui soldiers to take over the city.

Nowadays, this border city has become a sick city. There is rotten vomit and excrement everywhere, and the smell is very pungent.

The stench in the military camp was even worse, and some soldiers who had not yet died were still being tortured by the plague, with their skin ulcerated and life-threatening.Li Ji took over the city and sent a letter to Taichang telling Yang Chang the good news.

At the same time, Li Ji also arranged for many doctors to enter the city and start treating many seriously ill soldiers.

What no one expected was that the plague in the camp was contained in just one day, and the situation of those Zhou soldiers who surrendered took a turn for the better, and they could even get out of bed and move around.

Everyone was in disbelief. Only Li Ji knew that the First Emperor had withdrawn his punishment.

As mentioned before, the interior of the Great Zhou Dynasty is mostly composed of plains, which are very suitable for cavalry to charge and kill, so it is easy for the Great Zhou Dynasty to capture this border city.

At this point, the punishment of the First Emperor ended.

Including the various bandits and rebels in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will disappear after the Great Sui Dynasty moves in.

Then Li Ji firmly sat in the central army's tent and dispatched troops. Five generals led [-] troops and tens of thousands of Zhou troops to conquer cities in various places.

In just five days, half of the land on Monday fell into the Sui Dynasty's pocket, which was so smooth that it was ridiculous.

The most important reason for this is that all the cities in Da Zhou are facing various problems now.

Previously, Cui Congwu mobilized young people from all over the country to join the army, resulting in an extreme shortage of local labor force. Even the county police officers were old guys. In addition, there were rogue bandits at work, and everyone had been living in misery for a long time.

Now that the Sui army came, even if they were still loyal to the Zhou Dynasty, they were powerless. Moreover, a large part of the people who came back to conquer the city this time were the local people of the Zhou Dynasty. Through their stories, people knew that Cui Congwu was dead. News of the end of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Who would have the heart to resist under such circumstances? The Sui army naturally won consecutive battles and victories.

They also followed Li Ji's teachings and did not harass the people after entering the city. Instead, they directly occupied the government offices and replaced all the Zhou flags on the city walls.

Yang Chang, who was far away in Taichang, was also overjoyed to learn that the Sui army was making good progress in the front, and immediately began to select smart and capable civil servants from the Sui country to go to the Zhou Dynasty.

Nowadays, the Sui Dynasty is prosperous and capable ministers and generals are everywhere. It is not difficult to recruit 80 people.

According to Yang Chang, there is only one person who can take the lead.

That is the youngest governor in the Sui Dynasty, Huang Wen, the governor of Yanzhou.

Huang Wen is very capable, there is no doubt about it.

But what really reassures Yang Chang is that Huang Wen has known him for a long time, and he believes in Huang Wen's character.

Only when he led all the officials to the Great Zhou Dynasty did Yang Chang feel truly at ease.

So he immediately issued an order to Yanzhou and ordered Huang Wen to choose a day to set off without delay.

Huang Wen was a little surprised when he received the imperial edict.

However, it was a big deal for him that the Sui Dynasty could conquer the land of the Zhou Dynasty, so he immediately handed over Yanzhou affairs to Sima temporarily, and rushed to Taichang with his family!

Soon, a mighty army escorted hundreds of Sui officials to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This trip will be an unprecedented experience for all of them.

Huang Wen, in particular, had the humblest background among the traveling officials, but he also had the greatest prestige. Yang Chang mentioned his name in court more than once.

A young man who only wanted to study hard when he was a child has now become a big official, and his fate is very strange.

"Lord Snake Immortal, have you seen that I'm successful?"

Huang Wen was sitting in the carriage, holding in his hand a statue of a snake fairy made of pure gold, and two scales glowing with white light.

For him to be able to do what he is doing now, Zhou Bai helped him the most!
