With the death of the King of Jingjue, the surrounding artillery fire gradually subsided.

Jia Daoshi turned to look at Chu Luen beside him: "General Chu, it seems that the rest will have to be left to you."

Chu Luen's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "This subordinate obeys the order!"

After Chu Luen joined the Cliff City, Jia Daoshi selected a group of about 10,000 men from the surrendered troops of the Wolf Tribe, Tiger Tribe, Bear Tribe, and others and put them in Chu Luen's command.

Among the warriors of these tribes are many elite soldiers who are skilled in battle. It would be a waste to use them all as laborers.

Among these 10,000 soldiers who had previously gone to the grasslands to gather intelligence.

However, the main task is to help Cliff City control the situation on the grassland.

Since the formation of this force of 10,000 men, Chu Luen and his soldiers had been eager for a chance to prove themselves. Originally, Jia Daoshi wanted to send the mechanical beasts to end the battle, but after seeing Chu Luen, he hesitated for a moment and finally decided to let Chu Luen lead the troops to clean up the mess.

Because, to them, they were always surrendered soldiers, and only after their hands were stained with the blood of the tribe could their anxious hearts be at ease. This could be considered their pledge of allegiance to Jia Daoshi!

After this battle, the barbarian warriors and their people were finally able to truly integrate into Youzhou County.

Therefore, after receiving Jia Daoshi's order, Chu Luen did not hesitate and jumped down from the city wall, leading his men to begin reaping the remnants of the Jingjue King's army.

Meanwhile, Jia Daoshi's mechanical beasts and Shen Li's heavy cavalry from the Cliff City stood guard at the city gate, watching this scene with calm expressions.

As for the soldiers of the King of Jingjue, their fighting spirit collapsed immediately upon hearing that their king had died in battle. They were so frightened that they could not even hold their swords properly, and they looked completely bewildered.

At that moment, they saw Chuluen leading his menacing, bloodshot-eyed tribal warriors towards them, and they completely collapsed!

After witnessing this scene, they knew it was all over!

The first soldier of the Jingjue King suddenly knelt on the ground, throwing away his scimitar: "We're not fighting anymore! We surrender to the Empress of the Great Jing! We surrender to the General of the Great Jing!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Luen almost didn't stop his knife in time. He was already preparing to strike, but the other party immediately knelt down and surrendered!

Led by the tribal chief, the soldiers from the other tribes didn't hesitate and immediately threw down their scimitars and knelt on the ground!

Chu Luen: "..."

At this moment, Chu Luen was extremely depressed.

What a great opportunity to make a name for oneself!

But now, it's gone!

The surrender of the Jingjue tribe's warriors should be a good thing for Youzhou County, because they can bring in a large number of laborers who can mine coal, do farm work, build bridges and roads, and so on.

Moreover, the soldiers of Youzhou County no longer needed to fight, reducing casualties.

The only worry for them is that they have lost another good opportunity to prove their loyalty!

Chu Luen looked at the Jingjue tribe general in front of him. Although he was very unwilling, he had no choice but to put away his scimitar: "You are very smart."

After finishing his sentence, he looked around and said coldly, "In that case, let's start cleaning up the battlefield!"

Hearing Chu Luen say such a thing, the warriors of the Jingjue tribe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how you look at it, I survived.

In fact, if it were before, they certainly wouldn't have surrendered so easily, much less lowered their proud heads!

But now things are different!

Because today they are witnessing a completely different kind of war!

This battle shattered their worldview!

Especially in the nearby Mushui City, the warriors of the Jingjue tribe not only witnessed the power of the cannonballs, but also the terrifying mechanical beasts!

How is this still playing?

After learning of the death of the King of Jingjue, the Jingjue tribe in Mushui City was arguably the first to surrender!

From beginning to end, Jia Daoshi's defensive battle ended with zero casualties.

The only regret is that there are just too many corpses in the five cities, and it will take a long time to deal with them.

In addition, some houses were also destroyed and need to be rebuilt!

At this moment, Shen Li leaped over to Jia Daoshi's side and asked, "This battle ended quite quickly, but how should we report it to the imperial court?"

Jia Daoshi shrugged: "Report it as it should be reported. Consider it a warning to those petty scoundrels."

In the direction of the capital, undercurrents were still surging. Jia Daoshi also knew that his wife's position on the throne was not as secure as Ji Wuxin's.

Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to give a warning to those forces that are eager to make trouble.

With the only hidden danger, King Jingjue, eliminated, the situation in Juebi City has finally stabilized for Jia Daoshi.

However, the Fifth Prince from Jiangnan showed no signs of stopping; on the contrary, he was making increasingly big noise.

Jia Daoshi will not be polite to this prince.

After a brief rest in Youzhou County, they led their army of mechanical beasts southward.

That said, Wu Quan and Jia Daoshi were quite in sync; surprisingly, no trouble arose when Jia Daoshi was dealing with the King of Jingjue.

Actually, it wasn't that Wu Quan didn't want to cause trouble, but rather that his backers, the two masters from Yun Gu Lei Feng, had encountered some problems.

Now, facing Jia Daoshi's southward-bound army, Wu Quan could no longer sit still!

Especially after learning that Jia Daoshi had conquered the Yuezhi, the Eight Western Kingdoms, and the Great Grassland in one fell swoop, he was deeply shocked!

Not only was Wu Quan taken aback, but the vassal kings who wanted to respond to Wu Quan's call to overthrow the rule of women also became obedient after learning that the Empress's husband was so powerful!

Some clever ones directly sent envoys to the capital to show their loyalty, and even sent their sons and grandsons as hostages to avoid being suspected by the court and having them recorded in a little book to be investigated one by one.

When Wu Quan first learned of this news, he was furious and smashed a room full of furniture.

But in the end, all that remained was shock and fear.

"These spineless bastards!"

"But how exactly did Jia Daoshi manage to do that?"

"so horrible!"

The thought of how he had foolishly competed with Jia Daoshi for Yi Qianxiao filled Wu Quan with regret.

However, despite his feelings, he soon arrived at the villa in the mansion.

In this secluded garden, the faint scent of sandalwood wafts through the air, accompanied by the mysterious sound of chanting.

However, the person reciting the sutra is no longer the monk Bujie from before.

Instead, he was a monk who looked very young.
