When all the generals heard this, except for Yang Jian who didn't understand yet, everyone looked at Shi Zhongkui and secretly said, "You killed at least six to seven hundred demons by yourself yesterday, and now you actually say you should do less killing."

Then everyone mistakenly thought that Shi Zhongkui's intention was to reduce the casualties of heavenly soldiers and generals.

Despite the heavenly soldiers and generals setting up a dragnet, after the actual battle, because of the secret intervention of the Bull Demon King and others, the number of casualties in the heavenly court still exceeded 4,000.

The general's senses of Shi Zhongkui immediately increased several times.

And his plan is very feasible.

If there is a one-time imperial edict to surrender 10,000, 20,000, or even 50,000 or 60,000 demon clans, not only will everyone have a chance to gain credit, but it will also make up for the damage to the soldiers caused by this war.

Don't think that all the heavenly soldiers and generals are from the human race.

The largest proportion of members is the demon clan.

Even the 1,200 grass-headed gods under Yang Jian were all captured when he traveled to three mountains, five mountains, five lakes and four seas, and the four major divine states.

After annihilating and subduing the demons, ghosts, wandering ghosts, evil cultivators, etc. that originally gathered in the mountains and forests in various places to do evil.

He took the most powerful ones under his command and directly organized them into an army, bypassing the Heavenly Court, and stationed them as a private army at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.

Now that there is an opportunity to perform meritorious service and expand the army at the same time, Yang Jian and other leading immortal officials will naturally not object.

After all the generals agreed with Shi Zhongkui's plan, they all looked at Li Jing.

And Li Jing also understood that if he did not agree, it would harm everyone's interests and would inevitably cause public outrage.

And if you think about it carefully, if you accept the surrender of 10,000 or 20,000 troops at once, the Jade Emperor will definitely agree.

The generals who led the troops into battle this time basically had nothing to do with Dou Bu or the immortals who were born in Jiejiao.

Even though Jiuyao Xingguan and Twenty-eight Stars are under the control of Doubu, they are still part of Ziwei Xingjun.

The relationship with Doube is just a subordinate relationship, not one of the same mind.

With this group of people, it is equivalent to strengthening the power of the Jade Emperor and winning over the immortal officials who will go out this time. It is strange that the Jade Emperor does not agree.

As the military order came out from the camp, dozens of teams of heavenly soldiers and generals dispersed in auspicious clouds, shouting in the air, "Bima Wen fled before the battle, why don't you return quickly?"

Although surrender and surrender have the same meaning, the treatment is different.

Surrender obviously means to conquer.

Then the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals shouted, "God has the virtue of good people. If he is willing to surrender, those who have meritorious service and ability can serve in the Heavenly Army."

This sentence makes it clear that they are trying to divide and win over, and even instigate the seventy-two cave demons to engage in civil strife and capture the leader.

But there is a demon in his heart.

Obviously, everyone says that in the lower realm, as a demon, you don't have to listen to others to control you, and you can live freely.

But if you really have the opportunity to become an official in heaven and come from a good background, there won't be too many people who are willing to do so.

Even most of the little demons want to go to heaven.

Anyway, you are taking orders under someone else's account, so naturally Heavenly Court is the best choice.

And those smarter leaders, in order not to be captured by their men, even used their own heads to claim credit, and took the initiative to send little demons to contact other cave owners and leaders.

We discussed that everyone should surrender together and get better treatment.

The first person to express this idea will be followed by the second, third and unwilling to surrender, and then there will be inevitable internal strife.

Of course, there are also people who hide or attack the dragnets laid by heavenly soldiers and generals.

But the number is only a very small number.

After Shi Zhongkui suggested to Li Jing that he should only capture but not kill, the attitude of those demons who were still waiting and watching suddenly changed.

In just half a day, more than 5,000 demons from the Seventy-Two Cave came to negotiate terms with the heads of those demons who were unwilling to surrender.

As for the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, no one cares about them or conquers them.

However, when the seventy-two cave demons surrender in Heaven, even if it is just a siege, they will be able to trap the 40,000 to 50,000 monkey soldiers and generals to death.

Moreover, once Shi Zhongkui took a walk secretly, the monkeys in Huaguoshan basically suffered no casualties.

Those demons from the Seventy-Two Cave who surrendered had grudges when they conquered the monkeys, and in order to show off in front of their new masters, they must be the most ruthless ones.

----------

By the time Sun Wukong was at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, he had been acting as a master for a long time, and it was almost evening when he looked at the sky.

Yang Jian still didn't react until he came.

He secretly said, "Oh no!"

This is also the reason why Shi Zhongkui went to heaven and never thought of seeking refuge with Sun Wukong.

If you follow this guy, you will definitely be tricked by him.

It may be wrong to say he has no brains, but it is absolutely okay to say he has no heart.

By the time Sun Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain, the situation had already become even more unfavorable to him.

Before, it could be said that Sun Wukong was a symbol of dissatisfaction and resistance to heaven in the world, but with the surrender of the seventy-two cave monsters, Sun Wukong suddenly became a villain who escaped from battle and ignored the safety of his men.

Tianting, which only recruited surrender and did not send more troops to cause more killings, not only gained tens of thousands of soldiers with actual combat experience, dozens of generals, but also gained a good reputation.

As for whether these monsters sincerely surrender, let alone heaven has plenty of means to deal with them.

Just look at Song Jiang in Water Margin and you will know that some people are willing to put aside any kind of brotherhood and friendship in order to gain an orthodox background.

They may even use brotherhood to kidnap you morally.

Moreover, most of the so-called rebels are no different from bandits who gather in the mountains and forests and do all kinds of evil.

Sun Wukong cannot be like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, but more like Xiang Yu. Just because he thinks he is strong, he can replace Qin Shihuang.

And if you rely on force rather than brains to conquer the world, failure is doomed.

So when Sun Wukong flew back from Guanjiangkou, what greeted him was not the joy of his subordinates, but indifference and even hatred.

Yang Jian flew outside the Water Curtain Cave and shouted angrily, "Monkey, you escaped before the battle, causing the army to lose morale. The demons in the seventy-two caves have abandoned the dark and turned to the light."

You, the grandson of the monkey in the Water Curtain Cave, would have been wiped out by us long ago if we hadn't been merciful and grateful for the suffering of living beings.

If we don’t surrender now, when will we wait?”

After saying that, Yang Jian looked anxious and scratched his head and face. Sun Wukong, who didn't know how to explain, asked, "Monkey, do you think that when all the monkeys in the mountain are destroyed with you, you will know what regret is?"

These words are a bit heart-wrenching.

Moreover, it can be seen from the precedent that Sun Wukong was said to be an official in heaven twice.

He raised the flag of rebellion, probably more because he himself did not know the consequences of rebellion, and he only wanted to feel bad about being looked down upon by others.

He was bewitched by the One-Horned Ghost King again, so he raised the banner of the Monkey King.

When the Seventy-Two Cave Demons surrendered to him, it was obvious that they were being coerced into rebelling.

Sun Wukong looked back at the monkey Monkey Sun in the Water Curtain Cave, thinking in his heart that there was no way out for me, Sun Wukong.
