"Grand Commandant, according to the reports of the rebel soldiers who surrendered, the King of Wu, Liu Bi, had already led his men to retreat when the army showed signs of defeat. It has been a few days since then, so I'm afraid that the King of Wu, Liu Bi, must have fled back to Wu!”
While everyone in the tent was silent, a general cupped his fists and spoke to Zhou Yafu.
Zhou Yafu looked up at him and said in a deep voice,
"If he escapes back to Wu, we can still capture him as long as we spend some time. If he escapes to other places, such as Dongyue, Minyue, or South Yue, it will be a little troublesome!”
Everyone nodded silently and sighed in their hearts.
Dongyue, Minyue, and Nanyue were still not within the Han Dynasty's territory. The Han army could not enter as they pleased. They had to force these forces to hand over the King of Wu, Liu Bi, through the court.
The East Yue was easy to deal with. The East Yue was weak and might not dare to go against the will of the Han court. However, the Min Yue and South Yue were not weak. If they refused to lower their heads, there would inevitably be a conflict.
Especially since the King of Wu, Liu Bi, was the leader of the rebel army and had been in the Wu Kingdom for a long time. His influence in the Wu Kingdom was very deep, and the Imperial Court was bound to get rid of the King of Wu, Liu Bi.
"Immediately send people to infiltrate Dong Yue State and find out about Wu Wang Liu Bi!”
Zhou Yafu muttered to himself for a moment before immediately giving the order.
If the King of Wu, Liu Bi, was not eliminated, this battle could not be said to be a complete victory!
"Yes, sir! Grand Commandant!"
A general immediately responded and prepared to make arrangements!
Just as he was about to leave!
A soldier hurried into the tent and reported to Zhou Yafu,
"Commandant, General Tian has returned with his army!”
"Oh? Deputy General Tian has finally returned?"
Zhou Yafu's eyes widened as he listened. He knew that this young general possessed extraordinary talent. His sudden departure was probably not without reason.
Why did he leave?
"Quick, get him to see me immediately!”
"Yes, Grand Commandant!"
Watching the soldier leave, many of the generals in the tent were filled with curiosity. They wondered why this young general had returned so late.
What was he doing?
Especially when he had given up the opportunity to increase his military achievements and suddenly left when the Han army had defeated the enemy, this made them very puzzled!
Very quickly!
Under everyone's curious and puzzled gazes!
Tian Qiong led a soldier who was holding a box and lifted the curtain of the camp, walking straight into the tent.
Tian Meng immediately saw Zhou Yafu, who was standing in the lead and staring at him.
"I, Tian Meng, pay my respects to the Grand Commandant!"
"This general has returned late. Please punish me, Grand Commandant!”
Tian Meng cupped his fists at Zhou Yafu as he spoke in a clear voice.
Zhou Yafu didn't respond. He glanced at Tian Qiong, and then his gaze focused on the box in the hands of the soldier beside Tian Qiong.
The box was just an ordinary box, but the size was just right for a human head.
"What's inside?"
Zhou Yafu pointed and asked.
At this moment, he looked at the box and felt an inexplicable anticipation in his heart. He felt that the other party's sudden departure should not be for a small matter.
The countless generals in the tent also looked over, filled with curiosity. Why did Deputy General Tian bring such a box into the tent?
What was inside?
Tian Qiong looked at the crowd and glanced at the soldiers beside him.
The soldier did not hesitate and quickly opened the box!
"Grand Commandant, please take a look!"
Tian Meng pointed at a huge human head in the box and smiled.
Zhou Yafu looked over, and the surrounding soldiers also looked over!
Look at that head, look at that face!
"Liu Bi!"
"It's Wu Wang Liu Bi!"
The surrounding soldiers widened their eyes and exclaimed.
Zhou Yafu's eyes widened as well, and he couldn't help but feel delighted!
Wu Wang Liu Bi!
It really was Wu Wang Liu Bi!
He was beheaded!
"Hahaha…Well done, well done!!”
Zhou Yafu suddenly laughed out loud. The King of Wu, Liu Bi, had been beheaded by his subordinates. This was simply a perfect ending to his final battle!
"So you actually went to kill Wu Wang Liu Bi!”
Zhou Yafu looked at Tian Meng, feeling both surprised and delighted. He was feeling a little regretful that he hadn't been able to get the head of the King of Wu, Liu Bi!
He didn't expect Tian Meng to give him the other party's head!
The generals beside him looked at the head in the box and were also amazed.
They looked at Tian Meng, who was standing in the middle, with envy in their eyes.
Who would have thought that the head of Wu Wang Liu Bi would actually be obtained by him!
This was a great merit!
"Grand Commandant, other than the head of the King of Wu, Liu Bi, we also beheaded the Crown Prince of Wu and the 33 generals of Wu!”
Tian Meng reported to Zhou Yafu. There was no need to mention the heads of some ordinary soldiers. They would be included in the beheading later!
"Haha, Deputy General Tian, you've captured all the generals of the Wu Country!”
Zhou Yafu pointed at him and laughed.
The surrounding generals were all amazed when they heard this, and their eyes were shining with envy!
This young general had made a great contribution the moment he joined the army. After that, he had been put in an important position by Zhou Yafu and followed Han Tui to capture Huai Si Pass, cutting off the rebel army's grain route. Now, he had made such a great contribution!
This reward was probably incredible!
The generals in the tent discussed animatedly.
They had not expected that the young deputy general, who had the lowest position among the generals, would end up with such a great contribution.
Other than Grand Commandant Zhou Yafu, there was probably no one else who could compare to his contribution!
"Alright, everyone!"
Zhou Yafu looked at the noisy tent and regained his composure. He waved his hand at the crowd to stop them from discussing.
After the tent calmed down, Zhou Yafu smiled at Tian Meng and said,
"Deputy General Tian, you truly exceeded my expectations!”
He really didn't expect that the other party would be willing to give up the battle credits that were within his grasp and actually go for a great contribution that was likely to fail in his pursuit!
Tian Meng smiled but didn't say anything. Although he was gambling, he had already planned and prepared for this. Therefore, his success rate was not low!
Zhou Yafu looked up at the generals and said in high spirits,
"Alright, now I can finally report the victory to His Majesty the Emperor!”
