The night is dark.

Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.

In the master bedroom in the backyard of the governor's mansion, Ye Feng had an in-depth exchange with Madam Cai, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Jingxiang, and he felt extremely refreshed.

The king was supposed to embrace his beauty and stop attending court early in the morning, but because of the appearance of the jealous Zhang Ning, he had to get out of bed.

Walking out of the bedroom, I saw Zhang Ning standing quietly under the full moon in a black nightgown.

The bright moonlight shines on her beautiful face, like a black rose in a bush, both tempting and capable of hurting people.

"Why are you here so late? Didn't I tell you not to travel at night? Everything has risks. If anything happens to you, won't I be the one who feels bad?"

Zhang Ningjiao snorted, "There are countless people in the world who want to send women to your bedside. Why would you care about a lonely woman like me?"

Seeing that the beauty was angry, Ye Feng stepped forward and took her into his arms regardless of her objection: "I told you to stay in the north and enjoy the wealth and glory, but you just wouldn't listen and insisted on running back and forth. Aren't you the one who suffers?"

"But your position is something that others can only dream of. Apart from me, who in the world would not respect you?"

Zhang Ningjiao snorted, "I would like to stay by your side every day, but I'm afraid you don't want to."

"It will delay your in-depth communication with the beauty."

Seeing that the beauty was becoming more and more jealous, Ye Feng knew that just two words would not be enough to quell her anger, so he simply carried her inside like a princess.

"What are you doing? Put me down now. I don't want to be with anyone else."

Ye Feng slapped the beauty on her hips and said, "As long as I'm here, don't even think about cholera in the harem. If anyone doesn't have a good relationship with me, I'll make you serve together."

"hey-hey."

A soft moan was heard, and there was another in-depth and simple discussion.

Zhang Ning's physical strength was much better than Cai Jue's, so it took him a lot of time.

Venting out his anger once again, Zhang Ning crouched on Ye Feng's chest: "News came from Yizhou that the Barbarian King Meng Huo is willing to surrender."

"After Zhang Lu of Hanzhong received the news, he immediately sent people to surrender without any negotiation. Now the whole world has completely surrendered to you. Many people in the north want you to return and take charge to discuss your ascension to the throne."

Ye Feng was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "Liu Bei still has some tricks. He knows how to lure the enemy deep into our territory."

"It's not that easy to completely wipe out the barbarians. After all, they live in deep mountains and old forests, with miasma as a barrier. We can lure them out and kill them as easily as taking something out of a sack."

"As for Zhang Lu, seeing that the situation is not good, how dare he bargain?"

"It's normal to surrender."

"The issues of Yizhou and Yangzhou have been settled, only Jiaozhou is left!"

"Cao Cao, how is Liu Ji's situation? Is it going well?"

Zhang Ning blushed slightly and said with a sweet smile, "Things in Jiaozhou are even more bizarre."

"Cao Cao and Liu Ji were victorious all the way, and Zhang Jin had no power to resist." "I heard that Zhang Jin wanted to surrender, but the people he sent were killed without even saying a word, so he was so scared that he didn't dare to talk about surrender."

"Now trapped in Nanyue City, it seems that we should give Cao Cao and Liu Ji more credit."

"Are Cao Cao and Liu Ji going too far? They can't even make people surrender, right?"

Ye Feng shook his head and smiled: "I think this makes sense."

"Cao Cao surrendered to me because he wanted to make a difference in the troubled times. But just when he was about to seize Yangzhou, when Yangzhou was about to become a fat piece of meat, Liu Yao's son Liu Ji suddenly jumped out and surrendered."

"A great achievement just flew away like that."

"I finally negotiated with Liu Ji to take Jiaozhou and give it to me, but Zhang Jin of Jiaozhou also surrendered."

"If we simply accept surrender, it will be futile."

“Although the results are the same, an army and a general need to have a sense of pride. The long-term preservation of this pride will become the soul of the army.”

"I plan to let him continue to fight southwards. If his morale is low, how can he conquer the barbarians? How can we let those foreigners know how powerful we Chinese are?"

Zhang Ning nodded subconsciously: "I also feel sorry for Cao Cao. He has traveled a long distance but has not achieved anything. If this continues, he will definitely have a shadow in his heart. So I didn't stop him, and I didn't think too much about other things."

"But I also asked someone to remind Cao Cao that those who surrender will not be killed. This is the iron rule you set. If anyone dares to violate it, the swordsmen will kill him."

Ye Feng laughed: "This is a good reminder."

"But even without warning, Cao Cao knows the depth of the situation, and even Zhang Jin understands the reason."

"Otherwise, do you think Zhang Jin would stay in Nanyue City obediently? Isn't he afraid of being captured alive by Cao Cao?"

"There should be results in the next two days."

"In two days, you will accompany me to the north. Once the south is stable, it is time to ascend the throne."

"But before that, we need a fire. Being an emperor can't be so ordinary!"

"A fire?"

Ye Feng said: "We must take down the Xiongnu's royal court, Langju Mountain, in the north. In addition, the Qiang tribe in the west must also be completely wiped out."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculed if the news of my ordinary coronation got out?"

Zhang Ning nodded and said, "I will ask the night guards to pass on your message when the day breaks. According to the time, General Zhang He in the north should have arrived at Langju Mountain, but I am afraid that General Zhang He in the west may have arrived..."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have asked Yun Chang to rush to the Western Regions. I think he will not let me down."

"By the way, Jue'er wasn't awake just now, but now she's finally recovered. Shall we play Landlord for a while?"

"This time you two come together" (End of this chapter)
