After Minister Chu took control of the army … he played a small trick. The enemy's 400,000 soldiers took off their armor and surrendered.
He ended the battle without shedding a drop of blood.
The enemy had reached a dead end. So, Minister Chu had resorted to trickery. But, one couldn't deny that Minister Chu's strategy had no problems.
He had acted swiftly and decisively the moment he had assumed office. He had continuously harassed the enemy dozens of times in one night. This had made the enemy panic. It was like removing salt from a wound.
He had asked Wu Kuang Yun to go out and persuade the enemy to surrender. Wu Kuang Yun had a special status. So, he had personally come to persuade the enemy to surrender. Long Ao would've been despised if he hadn't come out. Moreover, he had sent Wu Kuang Yun to persuade the enemy to surrender. This had given Long Ao a vague hint, [We can talk.]
That's because the status of both sides was high enough.
Long Ao had reached the end of his rope. Wu Kuang Yun's arrival had given him an opportunity to regain his face. So, he had no choice but to go out.
Moreover, Long Ao had to go out under such circumstances. [This chapter is provided by Baidu Tieba of the World Defying Stage Heavens.]
Wu Kuang Yun would've driven Long Ao crazy if he hadn't angered him to death in accordance with King of Hell Chu's teachings. Of course, Long Ao would've lost his prestige in the army at the very least.
There would've been a commotion at most under normal circumstances. But, he would've lost his prestige in this life and death situation … and that would've been the end of him.
So, Long Ao had committed suicide. The 400,000 soldiers had lost their leader. They had lost confidence in Long Ao. In fact, they even despised him. Moreover, they were in a desperate situation. So, what else could they do but surrender?
Even after this incident, they still refused to accept King of Hell Chu's decision. They thought, [I could've done it at such a time.]
However, this thought disappeared without a trace after they had taken over the army. And, they had seen that Long Ao had secretly ordered people to open up a big slope.
This slope would've been completed in half a day at most.
If the generals' thoughts before Chu Yang's arrival had been to wait for the enemy to starve to death and take advantage of the situation, then these 400,000 soldiers would have flown away right under their noses! That would be like a cooked duck flying away … If things really turned out like that, the generals would probably even have the heart to kill themselves …
The generals were drenched in cold sweat when they were talking about how to deal with these captives. Especially the surrendered generals who had entered the commander's tent. They were so scared that they almost pissed their pants.
Because Minister Chu had said, "Kill them all!"
Minister Chu was wearing a black robe and a black veil as he spoke. His eyes were cold and cruel, without the slightest bit of emotion!
Everyone was horrified!
As the ruler of a country, Tie Butian repeatedly pleaded for leniency, believing that this move was against the harmony of the heavens.
However, King of Hell Chu said, "What's wrong with that? Wasn't it just 400,000 people? Since I can smash 100,000 people to death, why would I care about a blood debt of 400,000? "
Hearing this, all the generals felt their bodies cramp!
[So, that extremely terrifying landslide that day was also caused by this King of Hell Chu?] Oh my god, is he still human?
None of the generals dared to say anything. Minister Chu was determined to kill! He even said, "Let them dig a big hole by themselves, then drive them all in and bury themselves alive …"
Tie Bu Tian repeatedly pleaded for leniency. Therefore, King of Hell Chu seemed to have no choice but to relent under the sincere pleas of the ruler of a country. Obviously he was very unhappy; threatening, he said, "Today is for His Majesty; otherwise, I will kill you all!" [But … if any of these captives isn't obedient, I will kill the whole team!] [If any of them isn't obedient, I will bury all 400,000 of them alive!]
The surrendered generals walked out of the big tent after the terrifying meeting was over. Their legs were weak. Their faces were pale, and they were wiping their sweat. They were scared witless as they returned to their troops. Then, they ordered, "No one is allowed to act blindly without thinking. Motherfu * ker, anyone who moves will be whipped!"
They also explained, "His Majesty, the Emperor of Iron Cloud, had repeatedly argued with reason. So, he had saved our lives from King of Hell Chu's butcher's knife …"
One could well imagine what the response would be like.
Chu Yang and Tie Bu Tian played the role of good cop and bad cop. They pacified the captives, and handed them over to Wu Yi. Then, they left behind 150,000 soldiers to guard the Heaven Splitting Mountain Pass, and led 300,000 soldiers to return in triumph to the main battlefield.
Whether it was the defending generals or the surrendered generals, everyone heaved a sigh of relief when King of Hell Chu left. They didn't know what was going on. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but they felt as if a thick layer of low clouds had shrouded the Heaven Splitting Mountain Pass as soon as they saw King of Hell Chu's black robe.
Tie Bu Tian was grinning from ear to ear on the way, "Minister Chu, you played the role of bad cop very well! Lian Lian was also doubtful. Didn't you say that you wanted to surrender? So, why did you suddenly want to massacre them? Fortunately, Lian Lian's brain worked quickly. "
Chu Yang tilted his head, and looked at Tie Bu Tian with a strange look in his eyes, "Your Majesty thinks … that I'm joking?"
Tie Bu Tian's complexion changed. She said while stammering, "Don't tell me … you're not?"
Chu Yang smiled and said in a cold voice, "These are merely 400,000 people … There's no harm in killing them. You must know that these captives may become the biggest variable if Diwu Qing Rou doesn't get defeated. After all, this is the Heaven Splitting Mountain Pass! It's better to kill them cleanly. Once and for all. You don't need to worry about anything. "
Tie Bu Tian was dumbstruck. She realized that she had broken out in cold sweat after a long while.
400,000 people! You want to kill them … and you want to kill them?
"Of course, you're going to be the Lord of this world in the future. So, killing them all won't have a good influence on you. So, you pleaded for mercy, and I pushed the boat along with the current to give you face," Chu Yang said calmly. Lax!
Black lines appeared on Tie Bu Tian's forehead.
[Lian Lian's face is really big ah …]
Tie Long Cheng hadn't slept for three days and three nights by the time Chu Yang and Tie Bu Tian arrived at the main battlefield barracks. Tie Long Cheng was burning with anxiety because of the constant reports of the Heaven Splitting Mountain Pass' movements.
Tie Long Cheng flew into a rage when he heard that Wu Kuang Yun had left His Majesty behind, and had run back to the Heaven Splitting Mountain Pass to fight the enemy. He wanted to go there himself. He wanted to chop off Wu Kuang Yun's dog head even if the entire front was routed.
Tie Long Cheng was so angry that he vomited blood. He hadn't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days. Each day felt like a year. Tie Long Cheng almost fainted from excitement when he saw Tie Bu Tian return.
He rushed over to greet her. His old eyes were almost brimming with tears.
Tie Butian sensitively discovered that Chu Yang, who was beside her, had already disappeared without a trace. Niao Qianqian knew that he had gone to replace Wu Kuang Yun. She felt an indescribable sense of loss in her heart …
Chu Yang rushed into Bu Tian Pavilion's tent. Based on Wu Qian Qian's habits, Chu Yang did not hesitate to find her tent. His speed was extremely fast; it was as if a light breeze had blown by, and he was already gone.
He was about to open the door when he suddenly heard a sigh from inside.
Chu Yang was startled. He couldn't help but stop his footsteps.
"His Majesty has returned. Has he returned?" Niao Qianqian sat on the chair in a daze. Her heart was in a mess.
Niao Qianqian wanted to be the first to run out when she heard that the army had returned. However, she stopped when she reached the door. [What if … what if he hasn't returned?
What if … His Majesty has brought back bad news …]
What if …
What should I do?] [This chapter is provided by the World Defying Stage Heavens Baidu Tieba]
She was worried about personal gains and losses. She didn't dare to move even a step. The truth was right in front of her. She would see it as long as she went out. However, she didn't dare to take this step no matter what.
She was afraid that she would cry when she saw Chu Yang return. She was also afraid that Chu Yang hadn't returned … and was dead …
She was afraid and hopeful. Her heart was in a mess. She couldn't make up her mind. Suddenly, her eyes darkened. A voice said, "Minister Chu, what national affairs are you thinking about?"
Wu Qianqian's body trembled. She didn't dare to turn around. She closed her eyes and opened them again. A slender jade-like hand was about to pinch her arm. [Am I dreaming?] [Am I dreaming?]
Then, she viciously pinched him …
[It doesn't hurt?]
Wu Qianqian didn't believe it. She pinched again. [It still doesn't hurt?]
She opened her eyes in disappointment. She said dejectedly, "It's really a dream … sigh."
A voice that seemed to be grimacing in pain said, "Sister … of course it doesn't hurt. You pinched my arm. My poor arm is already purple …"
Wu Qianqian screamed and jumped up. Her chair flipped over with a 'bang'. She turned around in surprise. However, she saw a distorted face. Chu Yang sucked in cold air and said, "Sister … please … let go of your hand."
Wu Qianqian looked down. She saw that her slender jade-like fingers were pinching Chu Yang's arm. She had jumped up and turned around. However, she didn't let go. Moreover, she had unconsciously used too much strength in her surprise. She knew that his flesh had been twisted by three hundred and ten degrees …
She quickly let go. She didn't know what to do for a moment. [Should I throw myself at him and hug him? Or … should I pretend that nothing happened?]
However, Niao Qianqian's eyes were already red. Tears streamed down her face. She felt her heart beating wildly. She was so excited that she felt that it was worth it even if she died at this moment! [Because … because he came back safe and sound!]
[He came back!]
"I'm back." Chu Yang smiled and said, "You were worried, right?"
Niao Qianqian smiled sadly. She quickly wiped her tears and turned around. She said, "It's good that you're back. Ha-ha, you've made people worried these days. "
Niao Qianqian's voice had been very emotional when she had started to speak. She was trembling. However, she had calmed down by the time she had finished speaking. She turned around and looked at Chu Yang. She smiled and said, "You're back. I can finally relax. It's been such a long time. I'm really tired. "
Chu Yang saw that Wu Qianqian was trying her best to control her emotions. He suddenly felt a lump in his throat. It seemed that some kind of emotion was blocking his heart. He couldn't breathe. He forced himself to control himself and said, "Yes, it's been hard on you."
Wu Qianqian smiled faintly and said, "You sit down. I'll go get you a cup of water." She turned around and left.
The two of them had been separated for a long time. However, they were trying their best to talk about irrelevant things. They were trying their best to control themselves. They were afraid that they would overstep their boundaries.
Wu Qian Qian turned around and walked out of the tent. But, her small mouth suddenly flattened. Then, she covered her mouth with all her might. Her tears started to flow out violently. But, she controlled them with all her might. She didn't make any sound. She walked faster and faster until she finally reached a corner. Then, she squatted down, and started to cry silently.
