Fang Chen felt chills in his heart. He never thought that such a thing would happen!
Along the way, Fang Chen has conquered cities and territories, but no one has ever committed suicide to stop this war.
Obviously, everything in front of us is not that simple!
Fang Chen observed that every one of these people was conscious and had not been assisted in controlling them.
They all willingly killed themselves to fight the war!
Fang Chen's figure flashed and came to Li Weishan, and he pressed his right hand on Li Weishan's head.
The Insect King entered the opponent's brain immediately!
In just a few seconds, the Insect King unknowingly took away the other party's memory.
"Lord Holy Lord, it's useless for you to kill me. After you kill me, when you leave, everyone behind you will kill themselves!"
"You have only one way now, and that is to retreat!"
Li Weishan had no idea that Fang Chen had taken away his memory.
Fang Chen understood that these common people were all believers of the Qiankun Divine Religion.
The Qiankun Cult is a very powerful church. It was established decades ago and has been developing rapidly in the north of the Dajiang Dynasty. Moreover, many forces in the world are followers of the Qiankun Cult.
Li Weishan is just a small figure in the Qiankun Cult. This time he received an order to lead 10,000 believers to stop Fang Chen's army.
There were five thousand people outside the city gate, more than a thousand people on the city tower, and thousands more waiting inside the city.
As long as Fang Chen forces his way into the city, these people will choose to commit suicide to stop the army.
Once all these ten thousand people are dead, the Qianlong Cult must have other plans behind it!
In other words, more people will be summoned to fight the war by committing suicide or other methods!
Throughout this journey, Fang Chen has never harmed any common people.
Fang Chen’s enemy is the Daqian court, not the common people!
But now, so many innocent people are dead!
If Fang Chen leads his troops into the city, countless people inside will commit suicide.
Although the people of the Qiankun Divine Religion do not control these people, the common people are all believers of the Divine Religion and are loyal to the Divine Religion. They will obey any order of the Divine Religion without any hesitation!
All the people have been brainwashed!
Now, Fang Chen has two choices.
The first is to give the order to kill without hesitation!
The headquarters of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce is still in other cities. If you want to fight all the way there and destroy the headquarters, I'm afraid countless people will die along the way!
The second way is to withdraw our troops!
Fang Chen didn't want to hurt innocent people, especially when he saw that there were three- or four-year-old children, fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girls, and infants in the crowd.
There's no way he's letting these kids die!
After Fang Chen hesitated for a moment, he finally gave the order: "Everyone listen to the order and withdraw the troops!"
When Li Weishan heard the word withdrawal, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Their plan was successful!
They won the bet.
Because the people of the Divine Religion know that Fang Chen’s army will not harm the common people, and every time they occupy a city, the people’s livelihood will be improved, and everything will be developed with the common people as the center.
After the people of the Qiankun Cult knew this, they planned to use Fang Chen's kindness to threaten Fang Chen with the lives of ordinary people!
It worked, it was a success!
Fang Chen could only choose to withdraw his troops, and then find a way to deal with the Qiankun Divine Sect.
Li Weishan said: "Lord Holy Lord, please don't be angry. We have no choice but to do this. Please withdraw your troops to the imperial city. It won't take long before the people from the Qiankun Divine Sect will go over and negotiate with you to surrender and negotiate!"
Fang Chen snorted coldly, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come and surrender!"
Many soldiers did not want to withdraw their troops, but they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and return to the imperial city.
After returning, Fang Chen waited in the palace for a full month before the people from the Qiankun Cult finally arrived.
In total, more than two hundred officials, large and small, came to the palace to meet Fang Chen.
Jinluan Hall.
Fang Chen was sitting on the golden throne, next to him were Li Qingwu, Hongzhu, and other generals.
All the officials knelt on the ground and saluted Fang Chen.
"Long Yuan, the Lord of Longyuan City, pays homage to the Holy Lord!"
"Greetings to the Holy Lord!"
Many people announced their names and identities and knelt down to worship. Everyone had respect on their faces.
If they want to negotiate for surrender, they can only salute the enemy.
Fang Chen said calmly: "Everyone, please get up."
After everyone stood up, Fang Chen said again: "Come and surrender and show your trump cards."
"If you can't convince me, I will behead you all in public!"
The last withdrawal of troops had completely angered Fang Chen.
At this moment, Fang Chen's words were straight to the point and straight to the point.
Show no mercy!
If more than two hundred people dare to come, everything must be prepared.
The leader is Long Yuan, the city lord of Long Yuan City.
This person is already in his nineties, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the eighth level in his life.
The city of Longyuan City is named after him.
This man was extremely famous in the north and was deeply loved by the people. All thirty-six cities in the north were dominated by him.
Fang Chen would naturally investigate every city he captured, and he had already heard of Long Yuan's name.
This person truly loves the people like a son and treats them very well.
And this person also has another identity, the high priest of the Qiankun Church!
Long Yuan said: "Lord Holy Lord, these two hundred people are the city lords and important officials of major cities. They are all people with clean status, clean sleeves, and honest officials. I bring you here this time to show your respect to Dayan.
The dynasty surrenders and asks for peace.”
After speaking, Long Yuan handed the prepared memorial to the guard next to him.
The guard was delivered to Fang Chen, which was the condition for peace.
Fang Chen opened the memorial. At the top of the memorial, there was a mark of a Buddha statue, and below it was a line of neat fonts.
This mark of the Buddha statue deeply attracted Fang Chen, and Fang Chen couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
The content of the memorial is: all the cities in the north surrender, hoping that Fang Chen will not lead any more troops to attack, and that all the city defense troops and major legions in the major cities will be integrated with the army of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The development of major cities and various regional areas were also fully controlled by the Dayan Dynasty.
However, Long Yuan and all officials continued to serve, and the commercial and other areas of the major cities remained as they were. They could be managed by the Great Yan Dynasty and could not be plundered.
After Fang Chen read it, he said coldly: "You want me to give up the war? Give up attacking you?"
"What about the benefits you gave me? Where is your sincerity?"
Long Yuan explained: "General Fang, as the Holy Lord, you should know that after occupying the Daqian Dynasty, it is an extremely long process to truly make all the people of the Daqian Dynasty surrender to Dayan. Even in the process
There will be a lot of confusion.”
"I and the major officials from the northern cities will fully assist Dayan. With our help, Dayan will completely control Daqian. The time will be shortened by many years, and chaos and losses will be minimized."
