Chapter 228 Divine Master, Fire Bull Array(1/2)
Lian Po and Zhao She were two horses, and before the gate of the Zhao army camp, they watched the carriages coming from Jimo City in the distance, with a strange look.
Lian Po touched his chin, which looked messy because he hadn't taken care of it for a long time, and thought to himself: "Zhao She, what do you think this Qi people want to do?"
Zhao She squinted her eyes and thought for a long time, and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe... the people of Qi want to surrender?"
Lian Po was stunned at first, then couldn't help laughing: "Surrender? You are such a funny person to speak! The people of Qi have been defending for so many days. Seeing that we are becoming more difficult to fight day by day, will the people of Qi choose to surrender at this time?"
Lian Po thought that the joke Zhao She said was really funny.
Half an hour later.
"The people of Qi really want to surrender?" Lian Po's surprised scream almost penetrated the eardrums of everyone in the tent.
In the handsome tent at this moment, Le Yi's eyes were calm, and he pointed to the five large boxes neatly placed on the ground: "Do you know what's here?"
Lian Po and Zhao She shook their heads at the same time.
Le Yi kicked open the box cover that was covered with a false appearance, and suddenly, a burst of jewelry came towards him, making Lian Po and Zhao She's entire faces lit up.
Lian Po widened his eyes and looked at the pile of gold, silver and jewelry in front of him in surprise: "This..."
Le Yi kept kicking all the box covers one after another.
The yellow and golden gold, the green jade, the snow-white jade, and the countless Qi Guo sword-making coins...
The handsome tent, which seemed a little dark because the door curtain was closed, seemed to be completely illuminated at this moment.
Le Yi said with a calm expression: "This is the sincerity sent by the people of Qi. According to their words, Jimo will open the door to surrender tomorrow. They are willing to give all their money, as long as they can become ministers of Da Zhao, and Da Zhao will not have to plunder their concubines."
When he said this, Le Yi still had a faint smile on his lips, which looked a little sarcastic.
On this day, the Zhao army did not attack the city.
This is also the quietest day in the entire Jimo battlefield since the Zhao army officially sieges the city.
Jimo City is very lively.
The reason why it is lively is that today, Jimo doctor Zhou Zhong and Jimo General Tian Dan jointly announced that they would slaughter the animals in the city to sacrifice to the sky, and pray to God Tai, hoping that the gods could bless the new king of Da Qi and Da Qi so that Da Qi could turn danger into peace.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is... Today everyone can have a full meal, and every soldier who fights can have meat to eat.
Since the Zhao army besieged the city, hunger has been with the vast majority of the people in the city. No one knows how long this time the siege will last. To be on the safe side, except for those who went directly to the city wall to fight, the remaining people only maintained the minimum ration for one meal a day.
Therefore, when the aroma of wheat rice and the taste of stewed meat floated in the air, and when the hungry stomach finally could be filled with food rarely, the trust in Jimo guardian Kanda Dan in the hearts of the people in Jimo City naturally went to a higher level.
Like all the time before, Tian Dan did not have a high position to have dinner with the officials, but chose to come to the people to have dinner with them.
In this era, the separate meal system is very common, but this is usually something that only decent people do. For most people from the middle and lower classes, they do not have the luxury of having one dining table and a set of tableware. Most people just hold a bowl and find a place to sit down, and then the wind blows away the clouds and eliminates all the food.
As usual, Tian Shan came over and received greetings and greetings from countless people, and he also returned the salute to everyone with a smile, but this time Tian Shan had another problem.
Whenever he walked to a place, Tian Dan would ask a question very seriously after saying hello to everyone.
"Yesterday, God Tai asked a dream to me, saying that a divine master came after the sacrifice today. Now that the sacrifice has been completed, who is possessed by the divine master, can be reported to me."
Many soldiers and the soldiers and civilians in the city looked at each other.
A sage master?
When people's knowledge cannot explain the current situation, the theory of ghosts and gods comes into being.
For the people of Qi State and even the princes of China, professions like divine masters that use the power of ghosts and gods as gimmicks are actually common, but people often come into contact with witch doctors and priests on weekdays. I really don’t know what the divine masters who suddenly say fall from the sky.
Tian Dan was very patient. After seeing no one answered, he smiled and waved his hand and left, and then went to the next place to ask this question.
Soon, the news that General Tian Dan was looking for a divine master spread throughout Jimo City, becoming everyone's latest and most popular topic.
An old Qi army soldier who was gnawing the chicken's claws couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "God Master? If this God Master really exists, why didn't he come in Taoyi, Gaotang and Linzi? We didn't come when we were guarding the city before, but we just came at this time?"
The next moment, the old man with a single name "bone" was immediately refuted by the people around him.
"Bone, don't talk nonsense. If it were not for the protection of Tai Yi Shen, how could Da Qi dominate until now? If you say these disrespectful words again, be careful that Tai Yi Shen will take your life tonight!"
"That's right, how can the gods easily offend?"
Even Gu's boss, a young martial artist, appeared in Qi army, and glared at Gu and said, "Get your claws well, don't be nonsense."
Gu laughed and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth. He slowly stuffed all the chicken claws in his hand that had been gnawed into his mouth, biting them and swallowing them, but suddenly had an idea in his heart.
About two quarters of an hour later, Tian Dan came over with a few personal guards. After greeting him with a smile on his routine, Tian Dan really asked the question of the master again.
This time, everyone here was the same as those who had encountered this problem before, either remained silent or shook their heads.
Just as Tian Dan was about to leave, a voice suddenly said, "To be honest, I did feel a little strange last night. It seemed that a voice called a divine master was talking to someone. I wonder if that voice was the divine master the general said?"
Tian Dan paused and turned his head. He happened to see an old man who had just finished gnawing chicken feet, greasy and dirty on his hands, standing there smiling at him, with a hint of a hint of smile on his face.
The next moment, Tian Dan made an action that surprised everyone.
With a thud, Tian Dan knelt down in front of the old man.
"Mortal Tian Dan, I have met the master!"
Tian Dan respectfully gave a big gift to Lao Zuogu three times.
Now, Gu was really panicked.
You should know that this bone is born with a stubborn personality. He wants to do what others don’t want to do, and he wants to say what others don’t want to say. Because of this, a stinky mouth has offended many people, so most of his life has passed without even a woman, and he can only be a bachelor.
Today, because I was suppressed and ridiculed by my companions just now, I deliberately argued with Tian Dan. Where did the bullshit voice of the master come from?
This fake god is a serious sin.
Gu subconsciously reached out and wanted to help Tian Dan up, but when his hand was about to touch Tian Dan's body, he suddenly remembered that his hand had just finished gnawing the chicken claws, and he suddenly stopped and didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Tian Dan had finished his salute at this time, and stood up and shouted to the people around him: "Why don't you find a carriage? Please ask the divine master to return home and let the doctor and the general pay a visit to the divine master together!"
As soon as Tian Dan finished speaking, a carriage appeared on the street and drove towards this side.
Gu was completely panicked and hurriedly said, "General..."
"Master!" Tian Dan interrupted the bone, hugged the bone very affectionately, and then said seriously: "Please get in the car!"
At this moment, Gu's face became extremely strange. He hesitated for a moment, but obediently followed Tian Dan onto the carriage.
Because just now, Tian Dan was holding it over, he said in Gu's ear, "Shut up, otherwise the military law."
Gu He Tiandan quickly got on the carriage and headed towards the Jimo Doctor's Mansion not far away, leaving only a group of Qi soldiers looking at each other.
A moment later, the Baijiang who had just scolded the bones couldn't help but ask, "That bone... is really a divine master?"
No one answered.
After a while, the Baijiang couldn't help but say, "Did I offend the divine master just now?"
Still no one answered.
Later that day, an even more explosive news spread throughout Jimo City.
Under the sunset, countless people gathered together, watching the old man, who was originally named bone but now occupied by a divine master, twitched and trembled wildly on the altar, and then heard his hoarse roar.
"The divine master from heaven will bless Jimo, and the decisive battle will be won tomorrow!"
...
The next day.
On this day, the Zhao army did not attack the city.
At noon, amid the sound of the horns, teams of Zhao soldiers gathered outside the camp, red flags fluttering everywhere, crowds of people were surging, and endless.
The Zhao army general Le Yi, surrounded by many generals of Zhao State and countless soldiers, stood on a chariot and quietly stared at Jimo City in front of him.
According to the agreement, it was already time for Jimo City to open the gate and offer the city.
Sure enough, a moment later, the west gate of Jimo City opened.
In the city gate, teams of Qi soldiers rushed out and began to line up outside the city.
The Zhao army did not take any action. The Qi army went out of the city to surrender was actually very particular, which showed that I had taken out all my troops and there was definitely no ambush in the city. After you confiscate my people, you can go directly to the city.
It is precisely because of the very sincere actions of the people of Qi that the people of Zhao naturally have to be kind and wait until they line up before moving on to the next step.
As for whether the Qi army will launch an attack suddenly, this kind of question is completely an unnecessary question for most of the Zhao soldiers present.
What a joke, just the little force in Jimo, the Qi army dared to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight the Zhao army in the field. I'm afraid it's not that I'm tired of living?
A moment later, a Qi army knight came to Le Yi and said respectfully after saluting: "Please count the property first, and then surrender on the battlefield after our army lined up."
Le Yi nodded slightly and said, "Sure."
Soon, carriages drove out from Jimo City.
It seems to be to prove one's sincerity, the box covers of these carriages in Jimo City are open, and even from a distance, you can easily see a lot of wealth, gold, silver and jewelry.
This made the Zhao army's soldiers feel a stir and start to whisper.
The wealth is so touching. Everyone fought hard to get these things home?
For a time, the Zhao army's formation was even a little scattered. Many Zhao soldiers who stood in the back row or could not see were scratching their heads and itchy. As for those who could see it, it was even more unbearable. They stared at the gold, silver and jewelry in the box and fell into various imaginations.
The Qi army's assembly speed was quite slow, and it was noon again. Although it was late autumn, many Zhao soldiers were still sweating all over the place after being shining in the sun for a long time. Some even began to sit quietly on the ground, and the entire queue became loose.
Le Yi seemed a little impatient, and said to the Qi army envoy in front of him: "What's going on? It's not going well for so long?"
To be continued...
