We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

”Not long ago, General Xiahou of Bichui City sent a letter urging our general to surrender, saying as long as our general surrenders to the Zhei Kingdom, the specifications of the prince title bestowed would only be higher than now, and he would even marry a Zhei Kingdom princess to our general but General Xiahou is merely a general after all. How can our general know whether he can represent the Zhei Kingdom rulerʼs intentions?

So we want an official edict from the Zhei Kingdom ruler!

After Yanmen Pass surrenders, General Xiao wants the position of Great Pillar of State, with a domain of no less than three provinces, not including the Qin Kingdom territory conquered in the future.

As for the Zhei Kingdom princess, our general also wants to marry her.

Furthermore, we generals should all be enfeoffed as lords!”

”Hehehe, General Xiao really opens his lionʼs mouth wide, quite an appetite!” Guo Xin sneered.

”Whether the appetite is large or not depends on the value of this Yanmen Pass and us.” Li Jing spoke slowly. ”General Guo can write to the Zhei Kingdom ruler, or refuse. At worst, our two armies will mutually destroy each other.”

”...”

Guo Xin clenched his fists tightly, staring into Li Jingʼs eyes.

”This matter, I still need to consider.” After thinking, Guo Xin didnʼt immediately agree. ”Someone, escort General Li out of the camp first!”

”If thatʼs the case, then we await General Guoʼs news.”

Li Jing clasped his fists in salute and took his leave.

”What do you all think?”

After Li Jing left, Guo Xin looked toward the several generals beside him.

Left General Yu You frowned and said, ”This person Xiao Mo is proficient in military strategy and full of schemes. We must be on guard!”

The Right General shook his head, ”This subordinate feels we can trust him. After all, Xiao Moʼs martial talent is astonishing, and heʼs young with an unlimited future. Naturally he doesnʼt wish to just die at Yanmen Pass like this. Perhaps he truly wants to surrender!”

”This subordinate also thinks so. General Xiahou may truly have urged Xiao Mo to surrender, but we couldnʼt give any commitments. The other side wanting an edict to be publicly announced in the Zhei Kingdom is also quite normal.”

”If we donʼt accept the surrender and fight Xiao Mo to mutual destruction, our armyʼs casualties will likely be even more severe!”

”Moreover, if we cut off their path to surrender, wonʼt their will to resist become even more resolute?”

”This subordinate suggests accepting Yanmen Passʼs surrender. The General should immediately write to His Majesty!”

”Indeed so. Weʼve completely lost contact with Bichui City and the other eleven cities, and donʼt know the situation. The pressure there is also considerable. If we donʼt accept Xiao Moʼs surrender and Xiao Mo defends to the death while something happens at Bichui City, how will we account to His Majesty?”

”General, Xiao Mo was indeed arrogant before, and this subordinate also wishes to cut him into a thousand pieces, but at this time we cannot act on impulse. Everything must prioritize the greater good.”

Listening to the generals in the tent speaking one after another, Guo Xin lowered his head, looking at the sand table, falling into contemplation.

Finally, Guo Xin shook his head, ”Write to Yanmen Pass. We accept Yanmen Passʼs surrender. Additionally, Iʼll immediately send a flying sword message to His Majesty. But during this time, the entire army must not slack off. Be vigilant against Xiao Mo raiding the camp.”

”Yes!” All the generals clasped their fists in acknowledgment.

Two days later, outside Bichui City, in the Northern Frontier army camp tent, Xiao Shi was discussing siege strategies with various generals.

For these seventeen days, the Northern Frontier army had attacked the city day and night at any cost.

Although Xiahou Nan still resisted to the death, Bichui Cityʼs situation was now extremely pessimistic, and the other ten cities also found it difficult to protect themselves.

What Xiao Shi most hoped for now was that Xiao Mo could hold firm!

Just as he had initially predicted, as long as Xiao Mo could hold for thirty days, he would certainly take the eleven southern cities!

”Your Highness! A letter from the Zhei Kingdom imperial capital!”

Suddenly, a soldier ran into the tent, clasped his fists, and knelt on one knee.

Xiao Shi furrowed his brow.

The Qin Kingdom had quite a few spies in the Zhei Kingdom imperial capital.

If there was any relatively major matter, they would immediately send word to the Qin Kingdom!
