I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 711 Meeting the Empress

When the more than 8,000 Qian soldiers on the shore of Peach Blossom Island saw that Gongyang Ge was finally captured, they were so disheartened that they had to turn around and cross the bridge to the south.

After they crossed the river, they destroyed the bridge and then headed towards Xiangyang.

They will follow Gongyang Ge's orders, go to Xiangyang to get military supplies, then go to Jingzhou and return home by boat.

……

On the boat, Zhang Han looked at Gong Yang Ge for a long time, and then said,

"That's a great achievement, Gong Yang Ge. Now you've been captured too. Will you surrender?"

"Master Zhang, are you trying to persuade me to surrender, or recruit me?"

"Forget about trying to persuade you to surrender. Judging from your behavior, you probably won't seek death and refuse to surrender. So what if I recruit you?"

"That depends on what Marshal Zhang can give me. You can't just recruit me under your command with nothing but words, right?

Let the commander of the Qian army serve as your deputy general. If this gets to the ears of your Majesty and the two princes, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

Zhang Han smiled nonchalantly.

"You won't lose your head, at most you'll just get scolded. To be honest, I don't think I'm qualified to recruit you.

How about this, after you get there, come with me to meet His Majesty and the Prince.

I, Old Zhang, can't talk or coax you, so let His Majesty and the Prince talk to you."

"Okay, can you please untie me? It's so uncomfortable being tied up."

"That won't do. If you untie me, and I jump into the water, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with you."

Zhang Han refused to listen and refused to untie the rope for him.

Gong Yangge sighed.

He was now exhausted and really didn't have the energy to run away.

He struggled to sit up, with his hands tied behind his back, and said to Zhang Han,

"General Zhang, I haven't asked you yet. What did you do with our captured soldiers after the first battle? Where are they now?"

"They are still prisoners and have not been reorganized. They are always fighting and there is no time to do ideological work on them.

Oh, don't ask me, it's a military secret. You haven't surrendered to us yet, so I can't tell you."

"Okay, okay. OK."

After a few simple conversations, Gong Yang Ge basically figured out Zhang Han's intelligence level.

He looks like just a reckless man.

Soon, the boat docked, they got ashore, and walked north with Gong Yang Ge in their arms.

At this time, the Qian-Chu coalition forces had just surrendered and were about to enter the Yan army camp.

The soldiers of the Yan army also retreated, and auxiliary troops were rushing to clean up the battlefield.

Among the soldiers responsible for cleaning the battlefield, there were many prisoners from the Qian and Chu armies, all of whom were captured in previous battles.

They passed through the outskirts of the battlefield and headed north, where they were soon met by scouts.

"Greetings, Commander Zhang, what are you doing..."

Zhang Han waved his hand and said,

"Don't worry about it. Go get some people to row those boats upstream and return them to the villagers over there.

Also, on the west bank, my people are watching the horses, tell them to bring them here quickly!"

"okay."

The scout looked at the ship to the south and said,

"Marshal, please leave these boats here. We're going to build a bridge soon, and these boats can help rescue any soldiers who fall into the water."

"That's fine too. Give the fellow a little more money, buy the boat, and then go to the Zhennan Army to get reimbursed."

"As ordered!"

The scout immediately rode westward.

They walked all the way through the battlefield, through the middle area, and arrived at the Yan army camp, almost exhausting Gongyang Ge to death.

It was evening now. The battle had been going on all day and finally ended. Gong Yang Ge was tired and hungry, feeling dizzy and dizzy.

The clothes on my body were wet and I was freezing cold. It was extremely uncomfortable to take a step, and I was tied up.

But he was too embarrassed to ask for some food and clothes. After all, he was a noble of Qian Kingdom and the commander of the entire army, so he still had to have the proper manners.

At this time, no matter how hungry you are, you can't say it out loud.

Coo coo

Although he didn't say anything, his stomach started to growl.

Everyone stopped and looked at Gong Yang Ge.

Gong Yangge smiled awkwardly and said,

"hungry."

At this time, instead of hiding, it is better to be generous and free.

Zhang Han sighed and said,

"Untie him. Who has any food on him?"

"Marshal, I brought it."

A soldier took out some dried meat and biscuits.

The Marshal's guards eat relatively well.

Gong Yang Ge was untied, holding food in his left hand and water in his right hand, eating and drinking as he walked.

On the way, there were some prisoners from the Qian army who were working. When they met Gong Yang Ge, they greeted him.

"Meet the Marshal."

"Well, do a good job."

Gong Yang Ge nodded naturally, as if he had come to his own home.

This made Zhang Han and others look like outsiders.

When they arrived at the door of the general's tent, Zhang Han asked Gong Yang Ge to wait here and he went in himself.

In the general's tent, the emperor and two princes sat at the top, and the other generals sat on both sides.

"Greetings, Your Majesty! Greetings, Your Majesty!"

King Nan slammed the table, pointed at Zhang Han and shouted,

"Where have you been? From the beginning to the end of the battle, I haven't seen you anywhere.

Do you want to be beheaded for deserting the battlefield?"

However, Zhang Han smiled and said,

"Your Majesty, you really can't kill me today."

"Oh? You're laughing so obscenely. What achievements have you made? If you don't tell me a merit worth your head, I will punish you anyway!"

Zhang Han was not at all panicked and said,

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, there is someone you need to see."

"Who?"

Zhang Han turned around and shouted outside,

"come in."

Shen Changgong tilted his head slightly and looked outside, only to see a handsome young man, soaking wet, walking in.

"Criminal General Gongyang Ge pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Yan, and to His Royal Highnesses the Prince of the South and the Prince of Lanling."

Gong Yang Ge knelt on one knee and said.

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

They all looked at Gong Yang Ge, their eyes full of curiosity and shock.

Yan Fuyao was also slightly stunned. She lowered her head and looked at Gong Yang Ge with her beautiful eyes, then glanced at Shen Changgong with a meaningful smile on her lips.

Shen Changgong sighed. It seemed that he was going to lose this bet.

But it’s okay. Being able to get Gongyang Spear is better than letting it fall into the hands of the enemy.

Yan Fuyao slowly said,

"Are you Gong Yang Ge? Raise your head and let me see you."

Gong Yang Ge raised his head and looked at the empress.

The empress's peerless beauty was so shocking that Gong Yang Ge almost lost himself in a trance. He quickly lowered his eyes to avoid making the empress feel that he was being presumptuous.

It is incredible that there is such a beautiful woman in the world.

Gong Yang Ge lowered his head and remained silent.

"General Gongyang, please stand up. Someone, please give him a seat."

The guards at the door immediately brought a chair and asked Gong Yang Ge to sit down.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor!"

Gongyang Ge sat down and looked at Lanling King beside him.

Lanling Wang also looked at him. He didn't know why there was a helpless look in the other's eyes.
