Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

At midnight.

The earth was shrouded in darkness, except for the lights in the Nanli army and the central army camp.

"Queen Xiao Yan!"

"Lord, I am Xiao Yan from the Xiao Clan!"

Zhao Xu looked at the woman in front of him with great interest. She had the guts to come here alone. Her bulging belly showed that she was about to give birth.

"The baby is about to be born?"

"The life and death of my daughter and I depends entirely on the king's decision."

"You are a smart man!"

"I dare not show off my skills in front of the king!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan no longer had the arrogance that the Queen of Wu had once had, and was now very humble.

"Open the city gates and keep the palace in order!"

"As long as you complete these two tasks, not only will the Xiao family be rich and powerful, but you and Princess Anwu who is pregnant will also be second only to Yang Ying in the future!"

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he handed a bright yellow scroll to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan took it respectfully and understood its contents without even reading it.

The emperor’s word is law.

At this moment, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, was mostly at ease. With Zhao Xu's promise and the imperial edict, her future with the Xiao family was secure!

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous of Yang Ying's good luck.

"I thank the Emperor for his grace!" She took the imperial edict and, on behalf of the Xiao family, officially surrendered and became a subject of Nanli.

"No gift!"

"No need to bow!" Zhao Xu looked at the other person, bulging his big belly, and said lightly.

"I obey the decree!"

A trace of gratitude appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

The wind blows and the lights sway.

After Xiao Yan left, Jia Ling entered the tent.

"How is the Xiao family connection?"

"Everything has been arranged. After dawn, the East Gate of Wudu will be opened for surrender!"

"When Sha Xing arrives, he will lead the army and enter through the east gate!"

"That's good!"

For Nanli now, breaking into Wudu is an easy task.

But keep the losses to a minimum.

There are many people in Wudu who want to surrender, openly or secretly, but the truly valuable and suitable target is the Xiao family.

Military power within Wudu is divided into three factions.

Prince of Anyang Yang Xingjian and Prime Minister Zhang Song were both die-hards and would never surrender.

The west and south directions were mainly controlled by the two of them, while the east gate, which had less pressure, was handed over to the Xiao family, which had suffered losses in the Tianmen Pass battle.

The Xiao family not only holds military power, but Xiao Yan and the baby in her belly are also suitable candidates to share Yang Ying's future pressure.

After a while, a cool breeze suddenly blew in, and the light swayed, shining on half of Jia Ling's face. Under the interweaving of light and dark, she suddenly said:

"Yang Xingyuan has been brought here!"

……

The east was turning white, and the morning mist was lingering.

God also helped. The fog blocked the view and the east gate was wide open. Without causing much alarm, Sha Xing's army entered the city directly.

A quarter of an hour later, Wudu, which had been silent recently due to the war, suddenly became noisy.

The south was the main attack direction of Nanli. Yang Xingjian and Zhang Song stayed on the city wall all night to keep on guard.

The noise in the city immediately woke up the two people who were resting for a while.

"Nanli attacked?"

"what happens?"

As soon as the two woke up, they immediately asked their trusted subordinates.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the Nanli army is attacking from the east gate!"

"what?"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Zhang Song felt dizzy and almost fainted.

"Xiao Family!" Yang Xingjian's face was as gloomy as water. He didn't need to think about some things to understand what was going on. After all, his character was not bad. He immediately made a decision:

"Prime Minister Zhang, you hold the city gates, and I will lead the troops to drive out the enemy!"

Yang Xingjian just turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Ow ooh..."

"Kill, kill, kill..."

At this time, drums and trumpets sounded outside the city, the army gathered, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

It was clear that an offensive was about to begin.

"It's over, it's over..." Zhang Song's face was pale and he kept muttering to himself.

To unite parties to fight against dissidents and to fight for power in the court requires ruthlessness, thick-skinnedness and black heart. He is a good hand at this, but he seems powerless when faced with the overwhelming strength of the army.

Yang Xingjian, who was standing next to him, instantly lost his spirit and energy, as if he had lost his parents. There was no point in rescuing the East District at this moment.

time flies.

The noise in the city gradually subsided. Sha Xing's army took over other areas, retained the southern area, and did not attack for the time being.

The sun rises in the east.

The morning mist dissipated and the sky became bright.

Yang Xingjian and Zhang Song stood on the city wall with expressionless faces, looking at the army lined up in neat formations with shining armor outside the city.

At this time, the army formation broke apart.

A team of elite cavalry began to line up in front of the battle.

Then, a disheveled, down-and-out man was brought to the front of the battle.

Finally, Zhao Xu came out with Jia Ling and Shen Tu Chi.

"Yang Xingjian and Zhang Song finally meet!"

"Lord of Nanli?"

Looking at the unrealistically young man below, the two of them felt extremely complicated.

"I have brought your master back!"

Then, Zhao Xu said to the destitute man not far away: "Yang Xingyuan, I will send you back now!"

"Lord, please spare my life!" Hearing this, Yang Xingyuan was shocked and begged for mercy immediately.

Zhao Xu ignored it completely.

Yang Xingyuan's heart was very cold at this moment. If he was sent back at this time, could he still survive?

"Does Zhang Song still recognize me?" Not getting a response from Zhao Xu, Yang Xingyuan took another approach. He lifted up his long hair, revealed his face, and shouted towards the city wall.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Song, after hearing what Zhao Xu said, was already prepared.

"Since you know me, I order you to open the door and surrender!" In order to survive, Yang Xingyuan fought hard. He didn't care about his imperial face or his majesty at this moment.

"This, this..." After hearing Yang Xingyuan's request, Zhang Song was stunned and at a loss for a moment.

The morale of the soldiers who were still holding out on the city walls suffered a severe blow at this moment. The morale was already low, and now it was completely unstable.

"Yang Xingyuan, you are such an unfilial descendant. The Yang family's ancestral foundation has been destroyed in your hands!"

……

Yang Xingjian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly started cursing. At this moment, he didn't care about brotherly love or respect at all.

He vented out all his dissatisfaction with Yang Xingyuan over the years.

At the foot of the city, Yang Xingyuan looked extremely ugly. Even if he was thick-skinned, he still felt ashamed to be scolded like this in public.

"They say that the king dies for the country!"

"Yang Xingyuan, standing on the city wall, you may even leave a good name in history books!"

"Go!"

To Zhao Xu, this scene was a farce. He said a few words calmly and waved his hand.

"Ah..." After Yang Xingyuan screamed in fear, he was sent to the city wall by an invisible force.

He, Zhang Song, and Yang Xingjian looked at each other for the last time.

All kinds of embarrassments, conspiracies and past events are not taken to heart at this moment.

The three last powerful figures of Wu State quietly welcomed their death.

"kill!"

There was a long roar from under the city, and then a bright white sword light flashed between heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

……

The roar gradually faded.

Wudi has entered a new era.

South of the flag, a short time.

It was filled with the entire map of the Wu Kingdom.
