"Ah!" Li Hongji screamed in horror in front of everyone. He knelt on the ground and his body was shaking violently. Several soldiers came forward and stretched out their hands to touch his back and comforted him: "Commander, don't be afraid, everything you see is

Fake, that person has already wiped off the blood and is looking at you and smiling!"

Unexpectedly, Li Hongji suddenly jumped up, swung the bone in his hand and hit his own soldiers hard. Unexpectedly, several of his soldiers were hit and fell to the ground in pain.

At this moment, Li Hongji's eyes were wide open and he was gnashing his teeth and looking around. His face, which was reflected by the firelight, was full of ferocious and crazy expressions. From time to time, he would wave the bones in his hands and smash them into the void, muttering something in his mouth, "Don't come here! Don't come here."

!…”

His appearance shocked the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. The commander was suddenly frightened and went crazy in front of the two armies. Something strange that would never happen in ten battles happened right in front of them. They didn't know what to do.

A general of the Tang Army yelled at the soldiers of the Tang Army: "They have caused harm to the commander-in-chief. We cannot spare them. Brothers, if you are optimistic about the commander-in-chief, follow me if you have the guts!"

A "Senior Soldier of the Tang Dynasty" behind "Li Jingsui" suddenly ran out and shouted loudly: "I am King Zheng! I am King Zheng! Come and save me... Ouch!"

Li Congjia only ran a dozen steps and suddenly fell to the ground. Only then did he realize that there was a flying claw hooked on the armor behind him, and a thin line connected to the flying claw was held in the hands of another "Tang Sergeant".

Wu Liang took a few steps forward and captured Li Congjia in his hands. He drew a knife and put it on his neck. He shouted to the Tang army: "This is your Prince Zheng. If he doesn't retreat, I will wipe his neck!"

The Tang soldiers who were about to step forward immediately stopped and retreated to their original positions. Although Li Congjia was not as popular in the army as Li Hongji, he was quite famous because he was born with double pupils and was good at writing poems.

After Li Hongji's crown prince was deposed, everyone knew that Prince Zheng was favored by the emperor the most and was most likely the successor to the throne. If he was killed because of his rash actions, what good would it be if he won the battle?

Eat fruit.

Wu Liang shouted sternly: "I am telling you to retreat, not to block you here!" He threatened Li Congjia: "Tell them to retreat, or I will kill you!"

As he spoke, he pressed the sharp blade against Li Congjia's soft flesh. Li Congjia had been so intimidated for twenty years. He was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly and shouted to the soldiers of Tang Dynasty: "You retreat quickly, because you want to harm the soldiers."

Can’t you kill me?”

Those soldiers of the Tang Dynasty looked at Li Hongji, who was still in a state of madness and hammering into the void, and then looked at Li Congjia, who had fallen into the enemy's hands. They were really at a loss to advance or retreat, and they didn't know what to do.

Suddenly I heard a crashing sound behind me. I turned around and saw a large number of ships pouring in from the water village gate again, but this time it was Wu Yue's navy. The ships kept firing rockets as they moved, and the rockets fell on the Tang army.

The ship immediately burst into flames.

Seeing that the ship was burned, the Tang army immediately became commotion. At this point, they either had to fight to the death with the Wu Yue army and fell to the ground, or they had no choice but to surrender and become prisoners.

"Surrender without killing! Surrender without killing!"

The Wu Yue navy shouted loudly, but it had no effect. These troops were all elites of the Tang army, and they could not surrender so easily.

Xu Xian kicked Jiubao, "What's the use of just scratching your throat! Give me something affordable!"

Jiubao immediately had an epiphany and took the lead in shouting: "Surrender without killing! The first ten who surrender will be rewarded with a hundred guan, and the remaining ones will be rewarded with two guan!"

"The first ten who surrender will be rewarded with a hundred guan, and the remaining ones will be rewarded with two guan!"

Everyone shouted in unison. Hearing the movement, the red-turbaned soldiers in the camp immediately carried out several boxes of copper coins, including a box of gold, silver and jewelry. They all fell to the ground and said to Tang Jun: "Surrender, these are all yours."

.”

This move was quite effective against the soldiers of the Central Plains, but it was obviously less lethal to the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. No one came forward yet, but the originally agitated crowd quickly calmed down.

"I surrender! No one can rob me!" A Tang soldier suddenly dropped his weapon and rushed forward, grabbed a handful of jewelry and hid aside.

Xu Xian, who was on the bow of the boat, sang out. If these more than 10,000 Tang troops stubbornly resisted, neither side would know how much they would lose. There was no need to use human lives to solve the problem that could be solved with money.

With the first one, there will be the second and the third. More and more soldiers throw away their weapons and rush forward to grab money and jewelry. Those who don't get it are still unhappy.

Fortunately, Xu Xian had the habit of throwing away coins in large quantities, so a lot of money was put in the camp. He immediately sent an order to the camp to distribute it to the soldiers of Tang Dynasty one by one. After the money was distributed, he continued to distribute the wine. After a bowl of strong wine, it turned out that

The stalemate atmosphere finally relaxed a lot.

The boss was very dissatisfied, "Why did the commander give them so much money for nothing? It seems that we are afraid of them."

"Killing is not the purpose. In many cases, killing people may not necessarily be useful. Today I can use money, wine and meat to buy them once, and tomorrow I can buy them again. This is how a good reputation spreads. In the final analysis, it is for big guys like you

Good soldiers..."

"What! The money I gave them today is not enough and I have to pay them tomorrow. Commander, we have more money, but we can't waste it like this!"

"That's my money, not ours! Stop talking nonsense, get out of here and bring those two phoenix sons and grandsons in!"

The chief came out of the commander's tent and soon escorted Li Hongji and Li Congjia in. Li Hongji still looked crazy, but fortunately he was already tied up and couldn't do anything.

Li Congjia's hands were only tied behind his back. Xu Xian stepped forward and personally untied him, scolding several of his followers: "Thanks to King Zheng's plan today, otherwise you would probably enter the Palace of Hell."

Li Congjia rubbed his numb wrist and said, "The commander-in-chief has won a great victory. I have also made a contribution for you. Now you should let me go."

"Why are you so anxious! I haven't captured Changzhou yet. I'll wait until I do!"

Before Li Congjia could speak, the old eunuch pointed at Xu Xian's nose and cursed: "You...you break your word, which is not what a gentleman does!"

Xu Xian sneered and sat back in his seat without being annoyed, "Thank you for lifting me up and measuring me by the standards of a gentleman! I am indeed not a gentleman, but I value credibility most. I guarantee that you will be safe in the end.

When I return to Jinling, I can successfully inherit the throne in the future."

Li Congjia said: "You have to show me some sincerity!"

"It's easy to talk!" Xu Xian ordered: "Go and find Yin Simiao, give Li Hongji some medicine and be sure not to cure his madness."

Li Congjia seemed quite satisfied and said: "What else do you want me to do for you?"

"I'm going to capture Changzhou tomorrow, and I need your cooperation. I promise to let you go immediately after capturing Changzhou. The army will stop at Changzhou and never move forward!"

Li Congjia said: "Changzhou is the gateway to Jinling. If it falls into the hands of the enemy, our Tang Dynasty will never have peace. If you have the ability, just go and get it yourself, I will not help you."

"This is not easy to handle. When the time comes, I will ask my respected father to cede Changzhou and Wuxi as the conditions for ceding the land north of the Yangtze River and Huainan. The Great Zhou Dynasty and Changzhou are far apart. It is useless for my lord to keep Changzhou, let alone give it to Wuyue to breed them.

I should be ambitious and I will definitely return it to your country."

"This is just your wishful thinking. Your men are all soldiers and horses of the Wuyue Kingdom. What if they refuse to retreat?"

"Don't worry, Qian Chu serves my lord extremely diligently and will never dare to disobey his orders."

"No! Father will never forgive me if I do this!"

…

No matter how Xu Xian persuaded him, Li Congjia would rather die than obey. Xu Xian said angrily and fiercely: "In that case, don't let me be rude to you. Da Kui will suppress him. I will have a way to tell him to behave."

Submit."

Dakui escorted the three people out of the tent. Xu Kejian suddenly said: "I want to go to the latrine, please ask the military master to be accommodating."

"Damn it, isn't there a toilet in your tent? It's not too late to go back and use it!"

"The weather is too hot, I'm afraid it will inflame the nobles!"

"That's all, you send those two away first, and I'll take them to the latrine!"

Da Kui dragged Xu Kejian to the latrine, but Xu Kerjian did not go in. He took out a jade ornament from his body and handed it to Da Kui, "Please take me to see your commander-in-chief. I have something important to tell him!"

"

But Dakui didn't answer. He looked at Xu Kerjian with a wary expression and said, "You old man has some bad idea. Could it be that you want to assassinate the commander-in-chief!"

"No, no, no, I am just a weak eunuch, how can I assassinate him!"

"That's true!" Dakui put the jade ornaments into his arms, "But my handsome man should have taken a shower now. He pretends to be clean. I don't accept things from you for free. If you have any questions, I will let you know.

Chuan, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take you back!”

"That's fine!" Xu Kejian stretched his head and looked inside the latrine and then looked around to make sure no one whispered to Da Kui: "Go and tell your marshal that I am his biological father!"

Da Kui was startled when he heard this, and suddenly raised his hand and knocked Xu Kejian to the ground, "This thing that doesn't even have balls, dare to say that he is our handsome father's father, you must be blinded by shit.

I still want to be a biological father to the Marshal, but he thinks I’m too old to accept his adopted son!”

He grabbed Xu Kejian's back collar and walked back. Xu Kejian said vaguely: "I am really his biological father. I also know that your name is Da Kui. I have met you since you were a child."

"Huh, you know I am called Da Kui a lot. There are eight thousand if not ten thousand. Marshal calls me like this every day. How could you not know if you are not deaf? I also met Marshal's biological father when I was a child. He was a man with thick eyebrows.

A strong old man with a beard, you look like this! If you were his father, how could he not recognize you!"

Seeing someone coming from the opposite side, Dakui immediately said: "Xu Lang, this old castrated dog said that he is the handsome father, do you think it's funny or not?"

Xu Lang, who was rushing to the hut with a bamboo chip in his hand, was furious when he heard this, "He is my father's biological father. Couldn't he be my grandfather? The old gelding dares to humiliate me like this. I will kill him if I don't!"

Seeing Xu Lang about to draw a knife, Dakui quickly stopped him, "Kill him for nothing. The commander will be offended. Just slap him twice to vent your anger. Hehe..."

When Li Hongji wanted to lead his troops to the lake, Wang Kuangye strongly opposed it. There was no reason to give up his own strengths and fight the enemy. But after all, he was only the supervisor of the army and not the chief general of Changzhou. He couldn't stop Li Hongji if he insisted on doing so.

.

Li Hongji was so radical. From Wang Kuangye's point of view, he just wanted to take advantage of his great success in defeating the Wuyue army and take the opportunity to ask the emperor to restore him to the throne. It is completely understandable.

He still has great confidence in Li Hongji. Li Hongji is brave and resourceful and has rich experience in both land and water battles. In addition, he has many soldiers and ships, so there should be no surprises against the Wuyue Navy.

But the spy he placed next to Li Hongji sent news yesterday that the Wuyue navy seemed to have captured King Zheng. This made him feel uneasy. King Zheng was sent by the emperor to Liao for help. No matter what the outcome, he should have returned, but now it is too late.

If you don't come back later, this news may not be groundless.

As Li Jing's confidant, Wang Kuangye knew that King Zheng was the best heir to the throne in Li Jing's heart. It would be really troublesome if he fell into the hands of the Wu Yue army at this moment. He was not worried that Wu Yue would dare to kill King Zheng, and at most he would take him as a hostage or treat him as a prisoner.

A bargaining chip, but once it falls into Li Hongji's hands, he will surely die.

Now he seems to have understood it all at once. No wonder Li Hongji insisted on going to the lake to fight the Wuyue army. He immediately sent people to Changtouzhu to question Li Hongji. For the first time, he hoped that the enemy army would be more tenacious but Li Hongji had not succeeded yet.

When he woke up early this morning, Wang Kuangye's eyelids kept twitching, and he had a vague premonition in his heart. He was restless, hoping that the tragedy of brothers killing each other had not happened yet.

"Supervisor Army! Supervisor Army! Wu Yuejun is calling!"
