The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.
Chapter 379 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?
Chen Shoubei actually knew very well in his heart that since the other party had ambushed here, they would never let them leave safely, so the two sides were bound to fight to the death!
This was his original plan. After all, as far as they knew, King Wen and his group could only have a thousand people at most.
But the moment he dismounted, he finally became afraid.
That arrow is the navy's arrow!
What does this mean? It means that there is a navy in King Wen's team who betrayed them.
Without an advantage in numbers, Chen Shoubei naturally lost the courage to fight them to the death and ordered everyone to retreat, even though he knew that the chance of successfully escaping was very small.
As Guard Zhang's left hand slightly pressed down, the people who were ambushing behind Chen Shoubei and others finally appeared, and quickly and accurately cleared away the Jiangzhou city defenders who had retreated from the beginning.
The wailing sound resounded throughout the sky, and even the birds in the jungle were frightened, chirping and flapping their wings to take off.
The way he came was already blocked. Chen Shoubei glanced at the deserted road and the jungle behind him, gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat into the jungle!"
However, his words seemed to be an instruction to take action. Two rows of archers suddenly stood up in the jungle behind him.
They drew their bows and shot arrows with expressionless faces.
After the first row finished shooting, they quickly squatted down and drew their bows, then switched to the second row to continue. This lasted only a few rounds, and another group of Chen's defenders fell.
Only then did Chen Shoubei realize that he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and he had no way to escape.
They originally thought they might have an advantage in terms of numbers, but they didn't want to face each other like this. They didn't even touch the other's head, and they had already lost more than half of their lives.
If you resist again, you will be dead!
For a moment, complex emotions such as fear, panic, fear of death, unwillingness but also hope that King Chu could succeed, intertwined in his heart, making his movements of resistance become sluggish.
At this moment, Gu Yuzhi tugged on Guard Zhang's wrist and winked. Guard Zhang understood and put Gu Yuzhi on his neck.
Gu Yu knew that this was not his first time on the battlefield, but when he saw the blood and corpses on the ground, he couldn't help but frown.
He took a deep breath and let his energy settle in his Dantian, trying his best to make his voice sound reliable and steady: "This king is Wen Wang Gu Yuzhi!"
"You are all soldiers of our Sang Dynasty, and you are all good men! The evidence of the crime committed by the criminal Gu Yufan is conclusive. Please put down your weapons and surrender immediately. I can write to the emperor to intercede for you."
Having had this experience once or twice, Gu Yuzhi was already very skilled in persuading people to surrender.
His slightly childish voice spread out quickly, causing the city guard soldiers who were originally a little confused to look over.
For a moment, neither side made any move and remained in a silent stalemate.
The eyes of the ordinary city guards gradually became a little panicked. Only Chen Shoubei and a few confidants were holding the steel sword tightly, but their eyes were no longer as determined as before.
The prefect and the two aides were right. King Wen already knew that King Chu had been demoted to a commoner and was about to be questioned.
As a defender of the King of Chu's fiefdom, he couldn't pick it off at all.
Chen Shoubei gritted his teeth and whispered: "King Wen has not been favored since he was a child. The emperor sent him to Mobei as soon as he ascended the throne. Do you really want to believe what he says?"
"He said that asking for mercy from the emperor would absolve us of our sins? Don't forget who protected you during floods and plagues!" Chen Shoubei knew very well that no matter how many secrets he told about the King of Chu, He couldn't escape the outcome of being beheaded, and his family couldn't escape either...
When he thought of this, Chen Shoubei's originally hesitant expression instantly became firm. Instead of being taken to the execution ground in the end, it would be better to fight them and maybe there would still be a glimmer of hope.
So he can't let the people around him betray him, not even one of them!
Chen Shoubei said in a deep voice: "You have to think carefully, your family members are still in Jiangzhou! The magistrate and the prince's staff are all in the state capital. If they know about your surrender, will your family members still be alive?"
"We work together to break out of the siege. As long as we return to Jiangzhou and hold the city gate until the prince comes back, we will be safe!"
Several confidants around Chen Shoubei also advised: "Yes, what Chen Shoubei said is absolutely right. Things have reached this point. Treason is a serious crime that will destroy the nine tribes. Just one word from this young prince can do it." Will you be exempted from the crime of beheading?"
Another person took over the conversation and said: "There is still a glimmer of hope if we fight, but if we don't fight, everyone will die!"
Several people murmured persuasion, and the bewildered city guards gradually came to their senses.
I thought to myself, yes, things have come to this point, can the emperor really spare them?
But do we really have to resist to the end?
What if what King Wen said is true?
Even if he was beheaded, would King Wen be willing to speak for them and let his family survive?
For a moment, everyone was even more confused, but no one had the intention to put down the knife.
Gu Yuzhi was now sitting on Guard Zhang's shoulder. He was much taller and his vision was broadened. He naturally noticed something strange in the crowd.
He patted Guard Zhang on the shoulder, bent down and whispered softly: "Guard Guard Zhang, please put me down first."
He didn't want to persuade anymore, he just wanted Guard Zhang to let his eyeless arrows hit Jiangzhou Guards.
After Gu Yuzhi stood on the ground again, he stamped his feet and said softly: "This Jiangzhou garrison is very bad! I saw that some soldiers were already moved, but I don't know what the Jiangzhou garrison said, so these people hesitated again. "
There is no difference between the city guard and the navy.
Ordinary soldiers obey the instructions of their superiors, and the emperor is not a bad person who likes to kill, so he will naturally be lenient to these ordinary soldiers.
He asked Xie Changshi, and Xie Changshi's meaning was very simple.
After the situation calms down, these ordinary soldiers will be sent to other places, such as Lingnan or Mobei, where the conditions are harsher and the supervision is stricter.
He snorted and pushed away the weeds in front of him with his little fleshy hands: "Guard Zhang, hurry up, hurry up, let this Jiangzhou garrison be beaten by the sword!"
Gu Yuzhi pouted and said: "Anyway, there is still the governor of Jiangzhou and Gu Yufan's staff. If the Jiangzhou defense is gone, it will be gone!"
When the words Daojian Wuyan came out, Guard Zhang was still a little unable to react for a while.
After being stunned for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is right! This Jiangzhou garrison is bound to die anyway, so it is better to die now and make some contribution to Your Highness."
Gu Yuzhi scratched his head, contribution?
What contribution can Jiangzhou Defender's death make to himself?
Guard Zhang took out his bow and arrows and drew them to full capacity in an instant. The arrow reached the forehead of the Jiangzhou guard: "Of course it's to kill the chicken to scare the monkey!" (End of Chapter)
