Proud Ruler of the World

Chapter 52 - Situ Leshui's Allegiance

Chu Fanliang was a middle stage spiritual exercise, his control of his mind and will was already very strong. Even though that Situ Leshui was also a martial general, he had lived in peace in his mansion for too long, to the point that he no longer had the energy and drive that he had when he was young.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Fanliang appeared in front of Situ Leshui and pressed on his hand. First Army Commander, do you think you can commit suicide just because you want to? " Everyone in the tent stood to one side and did not make another move.

"I say, you've lived a long time. Wasn't it all just for a peaceful old age? Yet, you were dragged onto the battlefield by that little emperor Tianwei. In your entire life, besides doubt, he has given you doubts.

What did he tell you? I'm on your side to help you think.

Look, if your granddaughter wasn't the empress, you wouldn't have been entrusted with such an important task, and you wouldn't have allowed those two men in black to protect you.

Back in the day, you worked so hard to get a share of the family business. I didn't expect you to get old and rely on your granddaughter.

Although your Situ Family is the strongest family in Tianwei other than the Royal Family, you have to go if they want you to go down, right?

Was there still such a thing as the might of the heavens? The old emperor from before was alright, but what about the little emperor now? Heavy taxes, harsh government, you know that for yourself.

Right now, the might of the heavens was already in everyone's hearts, and the general situation is going to turn out like this. Do you really have to become such an obstacle?

I can assure you that once the Chu Clan takes over the heavenly might, your Situ Clan will definitely not be any weaker than the powers currently in the Heavenly Might. "Furthermore, our eyes are not limited to just this tiny southern region …" Chu Fanliang actually advised his to surrender under such circumstances.

"How can you guarantee our family? In Heaven's Might, other than the royal family, our family is still better off even if I die. But as for you, isn't that what you and your son say?

It's true that your father and I have always been rivals, isn't it? " Situ Leshui was moved. He knew that Chu Zhi was a benevolent person, but he was still worried about his family.

"Yes, but if you think about it carefully, it won't be hard for you to find out that if military power reigns supreme, then wouldn't it be easy to overthrow the might of the heavens? And for you and my father to become enemies, and even restrain each other's power.

I can only assure you that if we stop here, your family will not decline, and it will only grow stronger. I, Chu Fanliang, swear that if the Situ Family does not do something outrageous in the future, as long as the Chu Family still exists, we will protect the Situ Family for a day. If there is any violation of the heavens, the earth will be destroyed! " Chu Fanliang was anxious, he did not want to dawdle at all. The battle between the two armies was still going on outside. Not even a second would be enough for people to die.

"Alright, pass my order, everyone surrender!"

"What?" Marshal, think twice! "

"Think twice about your family, think twice, quickly, surrender." Situ Leshui gave the order. In a few seconds, the Heaven's Might's two hundred thousand strong army had become prisoners.

The voice of Chu Fanliang, who was using all his Qi to shout, rang across the sky, "Northern Army, if you see anyone surrendering and still trying to kill them, punish them with martial law."

After that, Chu Zhi's side gave the order and it was exactly the same as what Chu Fanliang said.

Finally, the two sides stopped fighting. It ended with the surrender of the heavenly might army. Chu Fanliang ordered his men to bring Situ Leshui and the rest towards the direction of Chu Zhi.

Along the way, cries of agony could be heard. Some vomited, some hugged corpses as they cried silently, while others howled in grief. This was war. When there was war, there would be death. No one could stop the footsteps of death.

Chu Zhi's army was collecting weapons and sweeping the battlefield, checking the number of casualties. In the darkness of the night, torches illuminated the entire night sky.

Finally, Chu Fanliang brought over thirty officers as well as the marshal to see Chu Zhi. Of course, all along the way, Jiang Qing kept chattering non-stop to Chu Fanliang, he was already getting annoyed by him.

Chu Fanliang also knew this Jiang Qing. He hadn't had a good time together in the past few years. Now that the power of the Heaven's Might Army was gone, he could once again return to being under Chu Fanliang's command and continue working.

He was excited, Chu Fanliang also knew that that guy must be extremely excited, hence she did not disturb his chattering. He just quietly listened and let him vent.

The generals of the Heaven's Might wanted to kill him. If it wasn't for him, how could they have lost all four hundred thousand soldiers to two hundred thousand men, and not even taking down the fifty thousand men from the other side?

In this battle, the might of the heavens had lost more than 81,000 people, and the northern border had lost more than 37,000. Although the ratio was much higher than the one before, they were all elites among elites.

Chu Zhi's heart ached, while Chu Fanliang's heart also ached. In the future, they will all be on the same side, and not even half of the 200,000 people will be left.

Hua Shu and Chu Yunyan quietly followed behind Chu Fanliang, without saying a word, as though they were bodyguards. But it wasn't, right? The two of them had been following the entire time, and no one had been stopping them. No way, these two didn't look like guards, and there was even a woman.

"Brother Le Shui, you finally came. We brothers can finally fight against each other again!" When Chu Zhi saw that the group of people had walked over, he had already informed them beforehand, saying that the eldest young master had brought Situ Leshui and his group over, so Chu Zhi directly walked towards their direction.

When they met face to face, Chu Zhi went forward and hugged Situ Leshui tightly.

Situ Leshui's face was filled with awkwardness, he did not know what to say next, and luckily, Chu Fanliang broke through the awkward situation and pulled Chu Zhi away.

"Alright, alright, what time is it? Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say!" Uncle Situ, how about this, tonight you will sleep for the night, and we'll talk in the morning. "Rest and store your strength, and all uncles, go to bed!"

There was no foppish young lord of an aristocratic family, nor was there the arrogance of a victor. Instead, he had treated them, the soldiers, as his elders. As a result, the animosity in their hearts was greatly lessened.

"Wait for Liang’er, let me talk to them for a while." Chu Zhi pulled Chu Fanliang back.

"Brothers, I know that you all might not be convinced, but you all know how the might of the Heavens is right now. With such heavenly might, you are all willing to work so hard. I can only say that you are all loyal generals.

But you took the wages of the people, and now the people are dead, and eating to their fill is a problem. This must change, or the people will rise even if I don't.

I, Chu Zhi, with my life, guarantee that the positions of the generals will only be one level lower than before, and once we have accomplished something in the military, we will return to our original positions.

Brother Le Shui is still your commander. I trust him to be in charge of an army!

Brother Le shui, is this alright? "

After Situ Leshui heard this, he kneeled on one knee. "In the future, I, Situ Leshui, will follow Marshal Ma Dong's lead. He had actually sworn a venomous oath. This was an oath of absolute allegiance.

Chu Zhi had really done all that was merciful, a general surrendering yet making his position remain the same, what should he do? He was also relieved. If Situ Leshui didn't vow his loyalty to him at this time, it would be weird.
