Chapter 926： Wen Chou's Choice

"There is also Master Lu Ban. Before, he had all the skills, but because of his low background, he traveled in many kingdoms in the southwest of Yuzhou. He wanted to make use of what he had learned throughout his life, but because he was not a disciple of the family, he didn't have any chance and was depressed. But under His Majesty the Emperor, he is now an important minister of the Ministry of Industry, and his improved catapult must be impressed by General Wen Chou."

Wen Chou heard Lu Ban's name, his face suddenly changed, and there was a lot of jealousy in his eyes.

Gao Shun led the army to attack Changze City many times, and used a catapult in it. That terrifying power left Wen Chou's impression on Wen Chou's heart.

Had it not been for the loss of Nanxiang Road, Changze City had become the first city to defend the Nanyan Kingdom. It had been reinforced by many times, and it would have been broken under the bombardment of a catapult.

But even so, Luban's improved catapult scared the Changze city guard.

Whenever the catapult attacked, the generals in Changze City closed their eyes and couldn't bear to watch his soldiers be crushed to death without resistance.

Fortunately, there are not many catapults, otherwise even if the city of Changze has been reinforced a lot, it would have been breached early.

"In addition to these three, there is also Liu Ji, the drunkard in the eyes of others, and Guo Jia, the drunkard in the eyes of others, before the two of them had not had the opportunity to display their talents, but now they are two of the five great counselors of His Majesty the Emperor. The Nanyan Kingdom has made great contributions to its current scale."

"General Wen Chou, you also have the ability, are you willing to go to waste in the Hongbao Kingdom? Make your own skills useless?" Chang Zike asked rhetorically.

Wen Chou's face changed again as he listened.

The name of Guo Jia made these generals of the Nanyan Kingdom especially remembered. It was not about the capture of Hongbao City, but the battle of Pingguang City before.

If that battle hadn't been for Guo Jia's plan to calculate the millions of troops in the Hongbao Kingdom, the current Hongbao Kingdom would not be so passive, and now it would have lost the capital, Hongbao City.

He also has the ability, perhaps not as good as Guo Jialubu and the others, but if there is a chance, he will definitely be able to build an industry, then why should he give up this good opportunity?

Wen Chou asked himself in his heart.

"General Wen Chou, if before, you had taken refuge in the Nanyan Kingdom as a betrayal of the Hongbao Kingdom, but now, the Hongbao Kingdom Emperor Lan Taohong's order has been given to let them surrender. At this time, surrender, how can it be considered a betrayal? betray?"

Wen Chou's heart moved. In fact, one of the reasons why he was so late in making a decision was that he did not want to lose a reputation for betrayal.

This is something to follow the general for a lifetime, and he doesn't want to carry it.

"And if you choose to continue resisting, when Changze City breaks through, the general who resists will get no benefit."

Chang Zike continued: "And if Song Tonghao chooses to surrender in the end, you have to surrender with it. Since it is all surrender, why don't you make a big contribution earlier than him?"

Wen Chou's eyes moved, and he pondered for a while, and said, "Why did you choose me?"

After speaking, he looked up at Chang Zike and said: "In Changze City, I am a little bit lighter, it is not an important task. You have a better choice. Even if you go to lobby Song Tonghao, as far as the current situation is concerned, he There is a great chance of being persuaded by you to succeed."

"Why did you choose me as an ordinary general defending the city?"

A smile appeared on Chang Zike's face. Wen Chou asked this to mean that he had planned to surrender in his heart, and he only had to answer this question himself, and Wen Chou would most likely surrender.

He said, "Master Guo Jia had already anticipated the problem with General Wen Chou, so Master Guo Jia asked me to tell the general..."

Looking at Wen Chou, Chang Zi Ke said: "Master Guo Jia said that he chose the Chinese Chou General for three reasons. First, General Wen Chou was a person with real abilities in the investigation of Jin Yiwei. This is the other generals in Changze City. It’s not comparable, even Song Tonghao won’t do it. Your Majesty likes people with real ability, so Master Guo Jia chose you, thinking that your Majesty will appreciate you and give you a chance;"

"Second, General Wen Chou is not a member of the family. Regarding the family of the Hongbao Kingdom, Jin Yiwei has long reported the news to Lord Guo Jia. All of these families take family interests as their priority. Your Majesty does not like such generals, so Guo Jia Your lord has chosen you."

"Thirdly, General Wen Chou is a smart man. Master Guo Jia said you will make the right choice."

Wen Chou heard it and sighed, "Guo Jia is really amazing."

"If I told you that since I contacted you, Master Guo Jia taught me anything to say, would you believe it?" Chang Zike smiled.

"What? These words were taught to you by Guo Jia?" Wen Chou was shocked, and said: "Could it be that he can count all my reactions?"

Chang Zike nodded, and said, "I'm just the commander of Jin Yiwei's spy, not an expert in negotiation. If it wasn't for Master Guo Jia who taught me this, how would I say this?"

Wen Chou heard it, and suddenly smiled bitterly, and said: "Guo Jia is truly a ghost in the southwest of Yuzhou. He can count all this. Is he really a human?"

"but……"

After a pause, Wen Chou sighed again and said: "Compared to Guo Jia's greatness, I admire the Emperor Lu Feng of the Nanyan Kingdom even more. He can reuse the alcoholic in the eyes of an outsider, and this alcoholic is now known as Yuzhou. The ghost of the Southwest."

"His ability to recognize talents with insight is the most terrifying!"

Chang Zike very much agrees with Wen Chou's words. No one thought that the new emperor of the Nanyan Kingdom, who was less than twenty years old, could develop the Nanyan Kingdom from a weak and small kingdom into the overlord of the southwestern Yuzhou in a short period of time.

But after looking at Wen Chou, Chang Zike said, "So, General Wen Chou, what is your choice?"

I already knew what Wen Chou would choose, but only if Wen Chou said it personally, could Chang Zike complete this mission.

Wen Chou didn't hesitate much, and said: "I choose to worship His Majesty the Emperor of the Nanyan Kingdom."

He chose to surrender.

Because he needed an opportunity, an opportunity to let himself show his ability, Nanyan Kingdom now has such an opportunity.

In fact, Wen Chou had longed for the Nanyan Kingdom a long time ago, because the Emperor Lu Feng of the Nanyan Kingdom knew good use of people and was not tied to his birthplace. This was too attractive for a general like Wen Chou without a background.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was a general of the Hongbao Kingdom before, he didn't want to carry a reputation for betrayal, he might have gone to the Nanyan Kingdom to join the army long ago.

Now, with such an opportunity, and never betrayed his reputation, he has no reason to miss it.

"Many years later, General Wen Chou will definitely be grateful for today's choice!" Chang Zike smiled.

Wen Chou decided to surrender, and his task was completed.

"I believe it will be so."

After Wen Chou answered, he asked again: "But I don't know what Master Guo Jia needs me to do now?"
