In Nanyang County, the mercenary groups had finally divided up their respective territories, and finally thought of "persuading" Nangong Zhi and Guo Hongyan to surrender. They then sent some people to "escort" the two to the wise king in exchange for money.
Persuading Nangong Zhi to surrender is worth 5 million taels of gold, and persuading Guo Hongyan to surrender is worth 2 million taels of gold!
Famous generals are hard to come by, and famous counselors are also hard to come by. In order to attract talents, Li Xian did not hesitate to spend a lot of money. Of course, Li Xian would only pay the price to the mercenaries after he was sure that they had truly surrendered.
When they were on the road, Nangong Zhi and Guo Hongyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ye Changsheng did not change. It seemed that their plan to surrender to the Shang Kingdom should be successful.
"Be careful!" Guo Hongyan transmitted, "There are many capable people around Li Xian. Li Yuanming is better than Xu Ren in understanding people's hearts. This is the hurdle we must face if we want to join the Shang Kingdom! Be careful."
Nangong Zhi took a deep breath and nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Behind the mercenaries were the Wang family. Just as Li Yuanming had expected, after seeing Li Xian's "disdainful, casual, and indifferent kindness", the Wang family considered it over and over again and actually decided to develop in the Shang Kingdom!
After being expelled from Qi, the Wang family was really desperate. After all, no country would welcome the Wang family after they were accused of "stealing the imperial power of Daxia, controlling the princes, separatism, and rebellion".
Under such circumstances, suddenly a member of the Shang Dynasty "foolishly" stood up to show magnanimity and a little false kindness, which instead became the last straw for the Wang family.
After repeated discussions among the Wang family, they finally came to the conclusion that Li Xian was just pretending to be nice and trying to put some gold paper on his face, and he had no intention of accepting the Wang family at all.
Therefore, the Wang family made the following decision: Li Xian had no intention of accepting us, which meant that Li Xian would not do anything to us. And since Li Xian had made this "false invitation", we were going to the Shang Kingdom, so he could only force himself to welcome us.
Thinking about it again, there doesn't seem to be any irreconcilable hatred between my family and Li Xian. Instead, it is Li Xian who has a grudge against my family, that is, he beat Wang Ming to death, but the Wang family has no ability to pursue it... So, for this reason, Li Xian should let my family go.
It's just... will it be like this
Back then, Kong Xiang once said that politics is all about kicking someone when they are down. When you see the enemy fall, you have to step on them a few times to make sure they will never get up again!
Perhaps, Wang Chuan, the head of the Wang family, did not fail to think of this, but he did not dare to think in this direction! The Wang family, who had no way out, could only pray for mercy from their enemies.
In fact, this is a common problem of the weak. Unfortunately, in the environment of the fairyland, praying... is hopeless!
"You go to the Shang Kingdom and walk into a trap. You have no chance of survival!" A faint voice suddenly sounded in Wang Chuan's ears.
This voice mercilessly revealed what Wang Chuan was most worried about. Wang Chuan remained silent, but his eyes had already begun searching and his spiritual consciousness began to scan.
"Wait, why does this voice sound a little familiar?" Wang Chuan thought.
