Gao Jichong was captured, Sun Guangxian and Liang Yansi surrendered. Jiangling City soon opened the gates, and the defenders put down their weapons and left the city empty-handed. Li Chugeng immediately led his troops to occupy the key points in the city, and immediately sent an envoy to report good news to Murong Yanzhao and requested assistance. After receiving the notice, Murong Yanzhao quickly asked the follow-up troops to set out to reinforce Jiangling City. At this time, Gao Baoyin realized that he had fallen into the trap of concealing the world!

After Jiangling City, the Nanping Kingdom had no longer established a resistance force. Under the coercion and temptation of the Zhou army, the entire Nanping Kingdom soon fell into the control of the Zhou army. Gao Jichong also let go of his face at this time and wrote more than ten letters of oath of allegiance, begging Dong Zunhui for forgiveness...

Considering that the Nanping Kingdom was the first vassal state annexed by the Later Zhou Dynasty, even if he had bought horse bones for a thousand gold coins, he had to take the initiative to surrender Gao Jichong as the inspector of Jingnandu. He took his jade belt and gorgeous clothes to Jiangling City to appease Gao Jichong.

After urgent consultations with Fan Zhi and others, the Later Zhou court formally ordered that the position of governor of the Jingnan Army would continue to be granted to Gao Jichong. Of course, at this time, the military and political power of Jingnan had been handed over to the officials appointed by the Central Committee to coordinate, and Gao Jichong had no power in his hands. They also had rewards for Sun Guangxian, Liang Yansi and others who took the initiative to surrender to the Zhou army, and Sun Guangxian was immediately appointed as the governor of Huangzhou.

Just when the Zhou army captured the entire territory of Nanping Kingdom, a major event happened to the Wuping Army, that is, Yang Shifan defeated the enemy in Pingjinting and captured Zhang Wenbiao alive!

It turns out that although Zhang Wenbiao had some wisdom, he only had a mob in his hands. He had not received much training at all. Although Yang Shifan's troops were few, they had accumulated all the elite soldiers Zhou Xingfeng had worked hard to train during his lifetime. His combat power was relatively strong. This gap was destined to be the final outcome.

Zhang Wenbiao used tricks to lure Yang Shifan's main force to Pingjinting, and then the ambush came out and surrounded Yang Shifan's troops. However, his subordinates were too weak, not only did not surround others. Instead, Yang Shifan, who broke through the siege, was defeated repeatedly. Zhang Wenbiao, who personally supervised the battle, was captured alive by Yang Shifan's subordinates!

After the war, Yang Shifan's subordinates were slowly cleaning the battlefield, confiscating the weapons and armor left on the battlefield, and many arrows inserted diagonally on the ground. The entire battlefield was relatively calm, and there was no tragic situation of blood flowing all over the ground and corpses in the wilderness that everyone imagined. Except for Zhang Wenbiao's personal guards who had fought bloody battles, the newly gathered troops were almost defeated and did not make any high-intensity resistance at all.

Yang Shifan looked at Zhang Wenbiao who was tied up in front of him and asked unwillingly: "General Zhang, you have surrendered! The old lord has always been good at you. Although the little lord is a little cautious about you, it is also respectful. Although you lead the public to rebel openly, you will definitely be killed by your lord to serve as a warning. But as long as you surrender voluntarily, the lord will pardon your family, wife and children! For your sister-in-law and your eldest nephew, you surrender!"

Zhang Wenbiao spitted blood foam on the ground and said angrily: "I, Zhang Wenbiao, have been born and died for so many years, and have worked hard without any credit. But Zhou Xingfeng later was suspicious of me, not only deprived me of my military power, but also sent someone to secretly monitor me. This time, even if I don't lead the army and promote righteousness, Zhou Baoquan will send someone to poison me quietly! Isn't it just death? What's the terrible thing about me in my life? As for my wife and children, I have sent someone to send them away quietly. With those gold, silver and jewelry, they can enjoy wealth as long as they hide their names. What are I afraid of!"

Yang Shifan frowned slightly. If this Wenbiao had always had prestige in the army because of this Wenbiao. Yang Shifan would have been dragged down and killed by this old-fashioned guy, how could he have the intention to talk to him!

Seeing that Zhang Wenbiao was stubborn, Yang Shifan slowly lost his patience. At this time, a counselor of Yang Shifan asked in a low voice: "Can the general be independent? If not, he should kill Zhang Wenbiao to express his determination; if the general has that intention, he should arrange for someone to spread the news of Zhang Wenbiao's escape so that he can continue to retain the military power in his hands. Taking advantage of the opportunity of "chasing Zhang Wenbiao" to bring most of the Wuping army into your control!"

When Yang Shifan heard him say this, he was a little moved, but then sighed and shook his head. He was not like Zhang Wenbiao, who had an influence in the army that was no less than Zhou Xingfeng, and he responded to it with all his calls. At present, all Yang Shifan's status and power were derived from Zhou Baoquan's orders; and the food, food and supplies in his subordinates were all under the control of the rear. If he raised the anti-flag, he might not be as good as Zhang Wenbiao!

Yang Shifan sighed again and said to his subordinates: "Present this article, behead this article, and then pass the head back to Langzhou..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw a messenger suddenly rushed from afar, urging his horse to come to Yang Shifan. Before he could dismount, he hurriedly reported: "Report to General, the Zhou army captured Jiangling Mansion, and his troops were approaching our Wuping Army! The master urged him to ask about the situation of the battle, and hoped that the general could return to the army quickly!"

Yang Shifan was shocked and asked anxiously: "The Zhou army attacked the Nanping Kingdom? It is impossible! Besides, although the Nanping Kingdom is small, it has been passed down for three generations and five generals. For more than 40 years, how could the Zhou army capture it so quickly?"

The messenger got off his horse and handed the letter in his arms to Yang Shifan. Yang Shifan opened it and saw that it was Zhou Baoquan's handwriting. The general idea was that the Zhou army was aggressive and had a bad momentum. I hope that Yang Shifan could quickly quell the rebellion of Zhang Wenbiao's troops, lead a large army to quickly return to reinforcements, and keep the Zhou army out of the country!

Yang Shifan couldn't help frowning. Although he was defeated here and even captured Zhang Wenbiao alive, the southern prefectures and counties were still under the control of Zhang Wenbiao's remaining troops. If he rashly returns to the army and gives them a chance to grow, a second Zhang Wenbiao may appear at that time! Instead of returning to the army in a hurry, it would be better to lead the army to quickly pacify various places, and then concentrate all the Wuping army to compete with the Zhou army!

Thinking of this, Yang Shifan immediately ordered his staff to write a sincere letter for him and handed it back to the messenger. In the letter, Yang Shifan listed in detail the disadvantages of hasty return to the army, hoping that the lord would forgive his actions of not withdrawing the army for the time being. As long as Zhang Wenbiao's remnants were pacified, Yang Shifan would immediately lead his army back to aid. Anyway, the walls of Langzhou City are towering and the city defense is strong. As long as you work hard to defend, the Zhou army will never be able to capture him in the short term!

After the messenger left with Zhang Wenbiao's head, Yang Shifan pondered for a moment and ordered Zhang Wenbiao's body to be cut, cook all the cut human flesh, and take it to drink!

As Yang Shifan expected, Zhang Wenbiao's captured soldiers were shocked by his actions of eating human flesh and never dared to move. Zhang Wenbiao's old subordinates even sent messengers to Langzhou, carrying loyal Xin to surrender. Yang Shifan's name of ogre was even passed to Jiangling City, which shocked the Zhou army!

[When I returned from the national examination, the next challenge was the professional editor who started the exam on December 1. When I resigned in the past, I always felt that I had an unlimited future, but after getting married and having children, I realized that the meager royalties were not enough. Which one does not need to spend money on food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, milk powder, diapers, baby clothing? I just hope that I can pass the exam smoothly, not to create a comfortable condition for my son, but to not lose first place, to grow better, work better, and live better!]
