Chapter 363: Where Would There Be Women in the Military Camp

~8 min read 1,548 words

Seeing this, Yang Jiye frowned slightly. If he called someone over and the medicine had no effect, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

And this hidden illness had been there for many years; he didn't believe one pill could cure it, so he'd better not embarrass himself!

Jiang Jinshi had never taken this medicine either, but the quality of the system's products was indeed trustworthy. Jiang Jinshi was also kindly reminding him; if the medicine was too fierce and General Yang had nowhere to release it in the military camp, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable?

In the end, Yang Jiye did not follow Jiang Jinshi's suggestion and took the pill directly.

At first, there was no feeling, and just when he was about to be disappointed and sneer, a scorching, almost violent heat flow suddenly exploded from his lower abdomen! It instantly swept through his whole body!

That male symbol that had been silent for many years, and which he had almost forgotten himself, actually... actually sent a long-lost, extremely clear throb and heat!

Although accompanied by intense heat and discomfort, the real feeling made him feel like he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body froze in place!

He reached down subconsciously with trembling hands... what he touched was no longer the coldness and atrophy of the past, but...

"Hah..."

A gasping sound, suppressed to the extreme and mixed with pain, ecstasy, and disbelief, overflowed from his throat.

This old general who had spent his life on horseback was now teary-eyed, extremely excited, and his whole body was trembling violently.

It was just that what followed was a bit embarrassing. The military camp was full of big men; where would there be women?

Moreover... doing such a thing in the military camp would be looked down upon by the soldiers under his command. How could he lead the army in the future?

So Yang Jiye could only endure it. For so many years, he had wanted it to stand up, but now that it stood up, he wanted to press it down.

He tossed and turned in discomfort for a long time. Even Yang Jiye did not expect this medicine to be so overbearing; it was truly a good thing!

For Yang Jiye, this was painful but happy.

At this moment, he finally saw hope; he could pass on his family line!

His branch of the Yang family could finally continue. This way, even after he went down, he would have an explanation to his ancestors.

The effect of the medicine lasted for several hours. Yang Jiye persisted. Although his whole body was soaked in sweat and his face was exhausted, his eyes were frighteningly bright.

It was different! It was really different!

At this moment, the only person he thought of was his wife. For so many years, she had initially been questioned by the outside world as being a stone woman.

To protect his wife's reputation, Yang Jiye chose to speak out about this hidden danger, even if he was ridiculed by the world, it didn't matter!

Now that he had a way to solve the hidden danger, he naturally wanted to tell his wife as soon as possible. Although they were not young, they should still be able to have children.

That afternoon, a secret letter without any signature was secretly sent to the Ming Army's outpost.

There were only a few words on the letter: "Midnight tonight, old place, one person, waiting quietly."

It was midnight again, at the abandoned beacon tower.

Yang Jiye stood alone with his hands behind his back, looking up at the starry sky. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned slowly.

Han Xiao arrived as promised, also alone.

"Han Xiao!" Yang Jiye spoke first, "Go back and tell Jiang Jinshi... he knows those three rules of his. If he can really do what he says, give the people of the world fairness, and give the common people a way to live... this old man, is willing to surrender."

He paused, a flash of determination in his eyes: "But there must be three chapters of agreement. First, the soldiers under my command can stay or leave as they please. Those who are willing to surrender must not be discriminated against and must be treated equally with the Beijiang Army. Those who are willing to leave must be given travel expenses and must not be blocked.

Second, I can give up Shuoning City, but you must not let the troops plunder or harass the people.

Third... that pill must be supplied to this old man regularly until... this old man has an heir."

Han Xiao felt settled in his heart and cupped his hands solemnly: "Old General is righteous, this subordinate will definitely report truthfully to the Lord! The Lord is definitely not a person who breaks his word, and what he promises will definitely be fulfilled!

The three chapters agreed upon by the Old General are reasonable, and this subordinate can agree on behalf of the Lord first! After the handover of the two armies is completed, the Lord will definitely drink and talk in detail with the Old General!"

Yang Jiye let out a long breath and continued: "These three are the most basic conditions, but I still want to say two things!"

There was no impatience on Han Xiao's face, "Old General, please speak!"

"I haven't led troops for many years, these generals may not obey me, and if I surrender, they may not necessarily follow me! If you want to handle this matter well, you still have to put in some effort!"

Yang Jiye was not shirking, but telling the truth. He had been abandoned by the Imperial Court and had been mediocre for the past few years, and even in the court, few people remembered him.

Although he was temporarily enabled as a general, these soldiers had not been in contact with him for long. If Yang Jiye were to stand up and call for surrender now, I fear someone below would kill him immediately!

Yang Jiye knew this clearly. His prestige in the army was not high. If Jiang Jinshi wanted more surrendered troops to surrender, he could only think of a way himself.

He could open the city and offer the pass, but he couldn't control the thoughts of the soldiers!

After hearing this, Han Xiao pondered for a moment, then said: "I will report this to the Lord and see how the Lord decides! What is the other thing?"

Yang Jiye continued: "For so many years, I haven't had any concubines, only a wife at home! If I send a letter asking her to come, I fear others will be suspicious! So..."

Han Xiao understood immediately upon hearing this, "Leave this to me, General, you can rest assured, I will personally handle this matter and bring the sister-in-law safely."

Hearing this, Yang Jiye let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had unloaded a thousand-jin burden, and as if he had opened another heavy and unknown journey.

He was old, and it was not easy to see hope, so he really didn't want to miss it like this. Moreover, the people of Beijiang were indeed living and working in peace and contentment under the rule of the Ming Army, and he also knew of the Ming King's benevolent government.

Both publicly and privately, he believed that surrendering to the Ming King was the correct choice!

The atmosphere between the two was much more relaxed than before, and Han Xiao chatted with Yang Jiye for a few more sentences before leaving.

Jiang Jinshi was also overjoyed after receiving the news and hurriedly discussed the matter with the civil and military officials.

"Yang Jiye has agreed to surrender, but he has concerns. His prestige in the army is indeed not enough to make all 250,000 soldiers surrender. And his wife's reception also needs to be secret and secure, and we must not mess this up."

Han Xiao spoke first: "My Lord, what General Yang said is true. He was temporarily enabled this time, and many of the generals under his command were directly appointed by the Imperial Court or were the original Shuoning defenders. He doesn't have many trusted old subordinates. If he acts suddenly, I fear there will be changes."

Zhang Honghong clenched her fists: "What are you afraid of? As long as the city gate is opened, our army will march straight in! Without the advantage of defending the city, our Ming Army is not afraid of any head-on fight!"

"Don't be reckless."

Luo Feng shook his head, "Forced pressure is easy to cause changes, especially when our army has just entered and the hearts of the people have not yet surrendered."

Jiang Ze nodded in agreement: "Forced pressure will not only damage military strength but also chill the hearts of those who may surrender later, and it is also contrary to the Lord's name of benevolent government. We need to combine hardness and softness, divide and disintegrate."

Wang Hou's eyes lit up: "There is also a lot of room for operation in the middle of this matter. Even General Yang has defected to us, wouldn't announcing it to the world raise our reputation even higher?" ===== CHAPTER 364 =====
