Chapter 284 Accept Your Recruitment

Anyone with eyes can see how outstanding Chu Jiang is.

Before he even reached adulthood, he had already defeated many veterans who had fought on the battlefield for many years.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Chu Jiang will have a bright future. It would be best to recruit such a young general who has outstanding martial arts, courage and strategy.

Yuan Qi clenched the sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword unconsciously moved towards Chu Jiang, as if waiting for his answer. If he dared to agree, he would kill him immediately.

Chu Xi's eyes were calm as he walked to the top of the wall, with half of his body exposed.

"Accept your offer?"

"Yes." Qi Minsong lowered his eyes, "The Emperor of the Great Zhou is incompetent and obsessed with seeking immortality all day long. With such a king, the Great Zhou will collapse. Even if you try your best, it will be difficult for you to turn the tide by yourself!"

If you look into this carefully, there is really nothing wrong with this statement.

Over the past twenty years, the political situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty has become increasingly chaotic.

Even if there are no natural disasters or man-made calamities, Your Majesty's reckless behavior will sooner or later destroy the foundation laid by the late emperor!

Han Ziyu frowned slightly and said a lot of nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight. The people of Western Chu never get tired of this trick.

At the north gate, Qi Jianshu had already called out many times in an attempt to recruit them.

Now we have arrived at the South Gate and a new commander has taken command, but he still wants to surrender!

Who do these people take them for?

Chu Xi didn't intend to give others room for criticism, so he naturally avoided the main point when answering.

"No matter what your majesty thinks, this is an internal matter of our Great Zhou Dynasty. It has nothing to do with other countries, and it is not an excuse for you Western Chu to start a war!"

Han Yaojun answered with a faint smile, using only a little effort to achieve a great result.

"I wonder if General Qi is willing to surrender to our Great Zhou. The court of Western Chu is not at peace either. The Qi family has worked hard and paid a huge price for the peace of the Western Chu border..."

"But how many people in Western Chu still remember the Qi family? If General Qi is willing to lead your tens of thousands of troops to surrender to us, I believe His Majesty will treat you and your family well!"

Qi Minsong clenched his fists, "......"

This was a great counter-attack, and Qi Minsong shut up completely.

He kept his mouth shut, but his confidants stood up for him and started to scold him.

Han Yaojun was too lazy to waste words and was just casually fighting back.

His move obviously touched the sore spot of Qi Minsong, so Qi Minsong completely lost his temper and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​surrender.

The ancient imperial ruling class was almost composed of three major systems.

The royal interests headed by the emperor, the aristocratic families as one, and finally the poor families.

There is a reason why noble sons can be born in humble families. Those humble families can rise to the top of the court, occupy a certain position, and then marry into other noble families after ten or twenty years.

This poor student will become a new noble family!

So this is why emperors in every dynasty have been trying to reduce the power of the aristocratic families, and why the aristocratic families have always stood firm.

Because the name of the family and the people in power can change, but the family system will never change.

The Han family is a family of military generals that has long been entrenched in the north. After hundreds of years of inheritance, the family has complex relationships.

When the late emperor founded the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Han family had already surrendered and rebelled. The situation was special at that time, but fortunately it was an internal rebellion in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the one who sat on the throne was still the orthodox royal family of the Great Zhou.

Besides, it was already the general trend at that time. It is different now. This is a foreign enemy. What does it count as surrendering to Western Chu?

Whether out of the integrity of his family of military commanders or family considerations, he would not surrender.

Zhou Yichen, a member of the royal family, was also killing enemies on the city wall. He heard Qi Minsong, who was under the city wall, criticizing the Zhou royal family so brazenly in front of him.

Not only did he not show any sign of anger, he also listened calmly.

As the prince of the Great Zhou, he sees the current situation of the Great Zhou more clearly than anyone else, without anyone telling him.

Qi Minsong was not wrong in his criticism, nor was he exaggerating. With his father's "playing tricks", the people's resentment was growing day by day.

Throughout the dynasties, there have been cases where the people have risen up in rebellion. Even if they failed, as these incidents accumulated over time, the princes from other fiefdoms would be able to march into the capital under the pretext of serving the king.

Those who can overthrow the imperial power are naturally not ordinary people, but if an emperor has a too bad reputation, it will give others many opportunities to take advantage of the situation to cause trouble.

Zhou Yichen was distracted and the spear had already reached in front of him, almost piercing his eyes.

Fortunately, before he was stabbed, he realized the danger and raised his sword to block the attack.

Chu Xi turned around and saw Zhou Yichen fighting with someone. He quickly used his sword to push them apart, and then the tip of the sword quickly scratched the man's neck.

Blood spurted out, right at Zhou Yichen, all over his body and face.

"Are you okay?" Chu Xi asked.

Zhou Yichen laughed softly, "It's okay, you arrived just in time."

Chu Xi raised her eyebrows, "That's right."

Zhou Yichen liked to see Qi Bai so confident and high-spirited. A few days ago, Qi Bai was overwhelmed by the war and had no mood to joke, let alone rest.

As he watched from the side, he was worried that Qi Bai's temperament would change drastically because of this war.

Qi Minsong, who was standing on the city wall, sighed with regret when he saw that his attempt to surrender failed. In that case, the only option was to fight.

He should have known it long ago. With Chu Jiang's personality, he would not surrender even if the Great Zhou Dynasty was really doomed.

It's just... I feel it's a bit of a pity.

Qi Minsong turned his head to look at Qi Jianshu who had returned an hour ago, "Is everything arranged?"

Qi Jianshu nodded, "Yeah."

"...That's good." Qi Minsong wanted to take over Xi'an City, but he wasn't in a hurry.

It's rare to meet an opponent he recognizes, and he wants to make him a close friend, but unfortunately his stance is wrong.

After today, everything will become a luxury.

Sorry?

Of course, but he had no choice.

Well, it's a pity.

He shoulders the fate, expectations and future of the entire family, and he cannot act on his own.

Even though he felt that Chu Jiang was a talented person who could not be missed, he could not force him.

After all, as a military general, he knew better than anyone that Chu Jiang was just making the decision that any normal military general would make.

Han Yaojun felt that Xi Chu's offensive was becoming more and more urgent. This urgency was not because something was forcing them, but rather an uncontrollable excitement.

It seemed as if they had already seen victory and the city of Xi'an had already been completely returned to them, the excited Western Chu.

He waved his hand, signaling Han Ziyu to come over, "Time is running out, you can't rest tonight, and...it's better to arrange more people at the North Gate!"

Han Ziyu instantly understood the meaning, and immediately went down the city wall and found the last reserve troops in the city. These were the firemen who specialized in cooking, and there were about a thousand of them.

They were all taken to the north gate, and he himself stayed at the north gate to defend against sneak attacks.

The battle at the north gate began in the second half of the night, after midnight.

At that time, the soldiers defending the city were almost drowsy and their vigilance was at its lowest when suddenly someone climbed up the ladder.

If it weren’t for Han Ziyu’s sharp ears and extraordinary five senses, he would have been able to quickly move in front of the person climbing up the wall.

He drew his sword, stabbed the man in the neck, and then pushed the ladder down.
