Gao Bufan stood on horseback and looked down at the two of them. He had never seen Wang Xiongdan, but he had heard that this man was Du Fuwei's son. He had also not seen Fu Gongyou, because when he assassinated Yang Guang on the dragon boat,

Fu Gongyou had his face covered, and the scene was so chaotic that he had no time to take a closer look.

"Which of you is Fu Gongyou and who is Wang Xiongdan?" Gao Bufan asked calmly.

Fu Gongyou raised his chest proudly: "I am Fu Gongyou, and I guarantee it will be true!"

The soldier next to him smashed it with a knife, smashing Fu Gongyou's mouth. His flesh and blood were all blurred, and the pain made him scream in agony and even bring tears to his eyes.

"How dare you disrespect the emperor with your words, you are seeking death!" the soldier shouted harshly.

Fugongyou was a little pissed, and he gritted his teeth and took a sip: "What a bullshit emperor. I only recognize the King of Chu. The emperor of Qi is none of my business. Let's go and cool off."

The sergeant was furious, and he hit the knife again, this time knocking out both of Fugongyou's front teeth. The pain was so painful that he almost fainted, but this guy didn't know whether to live or die, and he still looked unruly.

He glared at Gao Bufan unruly.

Gao Bufan raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Show your head to the public."

Several sergeants immediately swarmed forward. One of them kicked Fugongyou to the ground, pulled out his sword and was about to cut off the head. Wang Xiongdan was shocked and hurriedly said: "Save someone under the sword!"

The sergeant ignored him and slashed him with his sword. Wang Xiongdan hurriedly shouted: "General Pei is not dead!"

Gao Bufan was shocked and shouted: "Stop."

The sergeant hurriedly stopped the sword, his whole body staggering due to inertia, the blade deflected, and the tip of the knife was about an inch above Li Fu Gongyou's head, almost shaving off a layer of the latter's scalp, but just a little

If you lean a little, half of the head will be chopped off.

Fu Gongyou was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to pretend anymore. He lay there and didn't dare to move.

Gao Bufan stared at Wang Xiongdan with sharp eyes: "What did you just say?"

Bai Yunshang felt that Gao Bufan's aura was extremely unstable, and his whole body was exuding a dangerous aura, like a ferocious beast that chose people to devour, so he quickly muttered: "Amitabha!"

The ferocious aura on Gao Bufan's body immediately subsided, but his eyes were still sharp. Wang Xiongdan was secretly frightened. They all said that Gao Changqing's martial arts was extremely high. It seemed that the rumors were true. This aura was so terrifying that it made people unable to breathe.

He felt angry, so he said cautiously: "General Pei is still alive!"

"Which General Pei?" Gao Bufan asked sharply.

"General Pei Xingyan!"

Gao Bufan dismounted with a swish, and Wang Xiongdan felt his eyes blur, and then he tightened his collar and was lifted up.

"Seriously?" Gao Bufan's face almost touched Wang Xiongdan's nose, and his originally handsome face was a little distorted by excitement.

Wang Xiongdan shuddered intelligently. He had heard before that Gao Changqing was angry because of Pei Xingyan's death and went on a military expedition. Now it seemed to be true. He hurriedly said: "It's absolutely true. When General Pei was trapped in a heavy siege, he killed

After going in and out three times, he was finally hit by more than a dozen arrows and fell from his horse, and was snatched by our people... He went back, but he was actually not dead, and was still breathing. The King of Chu admired General Pei's bravery and loyalty, and sent people to treat him with all his strength.

, finally rescued General Pei, and now General Pei is recuperating in Liuhe City."

Gao Bufan threw Wang Xiongdan back to the ground and laughed loudly: "Xingyan, you are indeed not dead. I know that your kid will not die so easily."

The soldiers and counselors present couldn't help but look happy. Bai Yunshang smiled, put her palms together and said softly: "Amitabha, good, good, good!"

Gao Bufan was excited for a while before calming down. He pointed at Wang Xiongdan and said: "Untie!"

The sergeant immediately stepped forward and untied the rope from Wang Xiongdan's body. The latter was surprised and happy. He cupped his fists at Gao Bufan and said, "Thank you, Emperor Qi, for your kindness!"

Gao Bufan said calmly: "No need to thank me, you should be grateful that Xingyan is still alive. Go ahead and tell Du Fuwei to send Pei Xingyan out of the city safely before noon tomorrow, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."

Wang Xiongdan sighed secretly, cupped his hands and said: "Wang Xiongdan will definitely bring Emperor Qi's words to you. I hope Emperor Qi will not harm Fu Gongyou and spare his life!"

"Okay!" Gao Bufan agreed simply. It was just one Fu Gongyou, and ten Fu Gongyou were not worth Xing Yan's life.

At that moment, Gao Bufan ordered someone to bring a horse to Wang Xiongdan. The latter thanked him, got on his horse and rode off.

After the Qi army cleaned up the battlefield, they marched to the outside of Liuhe County and set up camp.

In the early morning, on the city wall of Liuhe County, Du Fuwei stood quietly. His originally tall and straight figure seemed to have become a little stooped. His originally arrogant face had become much older overnight, and his eyes were not as sharp as before.

Standing next to Du Fuwei at this moment are Ximen Junyi and Wang Xiongdan, who was released by Gao Bufan last night. Ximen Junyi is also one of Du Fuwei's subordinates. His abilities are average, but he has a good character.

Wife Deng.

It is said that this Deng family was very powerful, stronger than men, and once saved Du Fuwei's life. Du Fuwei was injured in a sneak attack by Li Zitong, and was protected by his adopted son Wang Xiongdan, who escaped to the water to retrieve him.

He was killed, but misfortunes never come singly. He happened to encounter officers and soldiers coming to suppress him again. Fortunately, Deng, the wife of general Ximen Junyi, was brave and energetic. She volunteered to carry the injured Du Fuwei on her back and ran all the way, finally escaping from the officers and soldiers.

Chase.

Du Fuwei repaid his kindness and began to reuse Ximen Junyi from then on. However, his abilities were limited and he could only stay in the middle ranks. In yesterday's battle, Du Fuwei lost four-fifths of his soldiers.

There is no one left under him. Although this Ximen Junyi is useless, he can only make do with it.

"King Chu, what should we do now? Emperor Gao Changqing of Qi has asked us to send Pei Xingyan safely out of the city before noon." Ximen Junyi looked at the Qi army in full force outside the city, and his scalp couldn't help but feel numb. He remembered yesterday's disastrous defeat and has been there ever since.

He still had lingering fears. Once the Qi army broke through the city, he was afraid that none of them would be able to survive.

Du Fuwei said calmly: "One life for another, Gao Changqing returns Xiongdan, and I return Pei Xingyan to him. What else can I do?"

Ximen Junyi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The King of Chu is wise, but if we return Pei Xingyan to them, Gao Changqing may not necessarily let us go."

Wang Xiongdan rolled his eyes, one by one, why should they let us go?

Du Fuwei glanced at Ximen Junyi and said calmly: "Then what does General Ximen think we should do?"

Ximen Junyi said politely: "Subordinate..."

"Speak if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say. Don't hesitate, like a bitch!" Du Fuwei scolded coldly.

Ximen Junyi originally wanted to persuade Du Fuwei to surrender, but he immediately did not dare to say anything, and said politely: "Subordinate... I don't know, but it is up to the King of Chu to make the decision."

Du Fuwei almost wanted to kick this idiot off the city wall. Ximen Junyi was stared at by Du Fuwei's sharp eyes and shivered intelligently. Seeing that Du Fuwei was still staring at her, she had no choice but to risk it and say

: "Didn't Emperor Qi Gao Changqing issue an imperial edict before to recruit King Chu to peace? In the current situation, why didn't Emperor Chu take advantage of the situation and accept the recruitment?"

After saying these words, Ximen Junyi breathed a sigh of relief, and Du Fuwei also breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally wanted to surrender, but he couldn't say it himself. After all, it would be too much of a loss. He, Du Fuwei, still wanted to save face. Now

It was proposed by the general, and he expressed that he would consider it, and it would at least look better in terms of face.

Du Fuwei remained silent and pondered for a moment before saying: "This matter is not something that I alone can decide. When I convene all the soldiers to discuss it, if most of them agree to accept the recruitment, then let's surrender. If everyone doesn't want to

If you surrender, I will fight to the death with Gao Changqing."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw dozens of iron guns rolling out from the Qi army's camp outside the city. Du Fuwei recognized them at a glance and saw that they were artillery pieces, and his expression changed drastically.

"No, the Qi army is going to bombard us!" Wang Xiongdan said in a loss of voice.

He saw the Qi army lined up these artillery pieces, with the black muzzles aimed at the city head. Du Fuwei couldn't help but his hair stood on end, and he hurried down the city head.

Boom boom boom...

As soon as Du Fuwei got off the city, earth-shattering cannon fire rang out. The city wall of Liuhe City was hit by several cannonballs, and it suddenly shook violently. Two bullets were hit on the city tower, and the roof collapsed on the spot, with rubble and tiles falling.

There was a splash, and a few unlucky ones were crushed by the collapsed beams and lost their lives on the spot.

Fortunately, the Qi army only fired one round of artillery and then stopped, more like a warning. Du Fuwei was shocked and angry. Gao Changqing didn't give him any face, but on second thought, they had strong soldiers and horses, and they had just been wiped out.

He killed most of his troops. In this case, why should others give him face?

Du Fuwei thought about it, and finally sighed helplessly and waved his hand: "Gather the soldiers together for a meeting. I have important matters to discuss."

The meeting was just a formality, so soon the meeting was approved and the recruitment was accepted.

Du Fuwei was also a decisive man. Since he decided to surrender, he immediately ordered all the city gates to be opened. All the Chu troops in the city came out of the city and discarded their weapons by the roadside.

Du Fuwei and his soldiers took off their armor and left the city with empty hands. They knelt on the ground in front of the supreme emperor and touched the ground with their foreheads: "The guilty prisoner Du Fuwei overestimated his own capabilities and had a wishful thinking, so he shook the big tree like a cricket."

He tried to fight against the heavenly soldiers, which was almost ridiculous. Now he regretted it and led his subordinates to plead guilty and surrender to the emperor. He also hoped that the emperor would have more people and spare Du Yao's subordinates. All the blame will be borne by the prisoner Du Yao alone.

.”

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no great good. Du Yao can rein in his horse. I am very relieved. From now on, I will make you the Duke of Liyang and the general manager of Danyang, and lead the troops to attack Shen Faxing!"

Du Fuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed quickly and thanked him: "I accept the order and thank you!"

"Get up, where is General Pei Xingyan?" Gao Bufan looked up and asked.

Du Fuwei quickly stood up and gave orders. Soon, a cane chariot was quickly carried out from the city gate. There was a person sitting on the cane chariot. Although his face was covered with scars, he could still recognize it as Pei Xingyan.

A flash of excitement flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes, and he stepped forward quickly. Pei Xingyan was obviously very excited at the moment. Before he put down the cane chariot, he struggled to get down to salute, and almost fell over and fell into the mud.

Gao Bufan rushed forward to hold him down and said with a smile: "Xingyan, you don't want your two dog legs anymore?"

"I will see you at last, your Majesty!" Pei Xingyan giggled, his eyes turning red unknowingly. Gao Bufan opened his arms and gave the former a firm hug, saying in a deep voice: "Good brother, my world would be so boring without you.

!”

Pei Xingyan's heart warmed up and he giggled even harder. At this moment, he didn't know how to express himself other than giggling!
