"Your Majesty, two groups of people came from outside the city, saying they are the guards of Chenxi and Shupu."
Song Yang had just finished setting up the battle plan when the guards came to report.
"Haha. They move very quickly. It seems that they are always paying attention to the battle situation in Yuan Ling!" Song Yang laughed when he heard that they were coming.
"Are these people from your Liu family?" Song Yang looked at Liu Manqing and asked.
"General Chenxi should be."
"That's fine. You go and contact them. If you want to surrender, I'll transfer it directly to your name." Song Yang waved his hand and said casually.
He didn't notice the Liu family at all.
But Liu Manqing was very moved.
Regardless of whether people can take a fancy to this little bit of combat prowess, it at least shows that Song Yang already has great trust in her.
Liu Manqing secretly made up his mind to help Song Yang guard the Middle Guizhou Road.
Liu Manqing took Song Yang's order and took Jiang Fei and several other confidants out of the government office all the way to the south gate.
After yesterday's shelling, the damage to the east gate was relatively serious, and the people are currently cleaning it up.
People from Chenxi and Xupu came from the south gate.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, Liu Manqing held Song Yang's warrant and went up to the city wall. When he put his hands together and looked ahead, the two people he saw turned out to be former members of the Liu family.
"Send someone over and let them enter the city." Liu Manqing said to the Fuxing Army guarding the gate.
"Squeak~"
The heavy city gate was slowly pushed open, and a group of Renaissance Army soldiers came out.
When he arrived in front of those people, he greeted: "The general wants you to wait until you enter the city!"
After saying this, he turned around and walked back.
The two groups of people looked at each other in disbelief. They didn't even send anyone to meet them, and they just let them enter the city?
"Brother Xu? What should I do? Can I get in?"
"this……"
Xupu guard Qian Fu looked at Chenxi guard Xu Liuqi.
Both of them are former members of the Liu family.
In the previous battle of Chenxi, Gao Huaipei let Jiu An enter the city, but they were surrounded at the north gate. There was no hope of breaking out at the west gate, so they had to surrender.
Later, Jiu An plundered the property of Chenxi and Xupu, but no one has come to take over these two cities yet.
So let these two surrendered generals serve as guard generals first.
Xu Liuqi looked at the city head and was silent for a long time. Finally, he clenched his fist and said with determination:
"Come in! We're all here, we have to go in! Once we get in, we can still bet on a way out. If we turn back now, there will be no way out!"
After hearing what he said, Qian Fu took it seriously and said, "Brother Xu is right! Let's go in!"
After saying that, he dismounted and trotted to catch up with the Renaissance Army team that had gone far ahead.
Xu Liuqi also quickly followed.
Each of them only brought two people with them.
One is to show his courage, and the other is to leave a way out for himself, hoping to make the city a warlock.
After entering with the Renaissance Army team, several people were waiting in the corridor in the city gate.
The light outside is very strong, and when you suddenly enter the corridor through the hole in the wall, you can't see the faces of the people clearly.
However, Xu Liuqi and Qian Fu did not dare to neglect.
When he saw those people standing in the middle of the road, he knew that they were here to pick him up.
So they both prostrated themselves at the same time, cupped their hands and said, "The guard of Chenxi, Xu Liuqi, and the guard of Shupu, Qian Fu, pay their respects to your lord."
I can't figure out how the person came, but it's never wrong to call the adults.
The two of them paid their respects, but the man opposite did not respond.
The two of them didn't dare to get up and just knelt there.
After a long while, a familiar voice rang.
"Liuqi, Qian Fu, you're fine!"
"Huh?" Xu Liuqi was stunned, why is this voice so familiar?
"Miss!" Qian Fu heard it directly and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Miss! It's you! Why are you here?" Xu Liuqi also knew who the voice was.
The two of them raised their heads, their pupils gradually recovered, and they could see the person in front of them clearly.
Sure enough, it's Liu Manqing and Jiang Fei!
"It's...it's really Miss! Didn't you say that the Prince of Jiangzhou conquered Yuanling? Why is Miss here?"
Both of them were extremely shocked.
Liu Manqing looked at them and beckoned: "You guys, get up. Now I have taken refuge with His Highness the King of Jiangzhou, and the King of Jiangzhou is indeed in Yuanling City!"
"This...that's what it is!"
The two of them suddenly realized that the young lady had gone to bring in reinforcements.
And the efficiency is so high and the effect is so good that the King of Jiangzhou moved here directly.
"Miss! I cannot live up to the Liu family's kindness!"
Xu Liuqi said suddenly, and then knelt down again.
Qian Fu also knelt down and said with some shame: "General Liu treated me well, but I failed to swear allegiance to the death. Alas... I am ashamed..."
"Two generals. Surrendering was a helpless move under the circumstances at that time. I can understand the difficulty of the two generals. Get up and let the past matter be over."
Liu Manqing stepped forward and helped the two of them up with her own hands.
"Two generals, from now on the stability of the Central Guizhou Road will have to work hard for the two generals."
"Miss, you...are we still on Qianzhong Road in the future?" Xu Liuqi asked in surprise.
"Yes! It's still on the Central Guizhou Road! But this is the Central Guizhou Road of Daqian! We are helping the prince to guard this place!" Liu Manqing emphasized.
At this point, the two of them understood.
It turns out that the King of Jiangzhou really incorporated the Liu family's forces and made full use of them, directly letting them sit on the Qianzhong Road to continue fighting against the Barbarians.
But the current situation is very different from before. Before, they only had Chenxi, but now they have the support of the entire Daqian.
As long as you are loyal to Song Yang, there are plenty of opportunities to make achievements in the Middle Guizhou Road.
The two looked at each other and bowed for the third time.
"Miss Meng will not give up, and we are willing to follow her to guard Qianzhong Road!"
The first time I bowed down, I felt an unknown awe.
The second time I bowed down, I was ashamed of myself.
Bowing down for the third time has already ignited the seeds of hope.
Liu Manqing smiled with satisfaction. With the return of these two people, his team was now set up.
If we can gather some old troops later, we will have more manpower.
Coupled with Song Yang's support, controlling several important cities is not a big problem.
Now all that's left is to kill Jiu An and avenge his brother!
Liu Manqing comforted Qian Fu and Xu Liuqi, and took them to meet Song Yang.
Song Yang comforted them with kind words and asked them to follow Liu Manqing's orders.
After appeasing Qian Fu and Xu Liuqi, Liu Manqing arranged a reception banquet in the evening.
Of course, their subordinates outside the city also sent meals to them.
Along the way, the two people's moods went from uneasy to surprised and finally to joy.
Not only did he successfully join the Daqian regular army camp, but he also returned to his old master's sect.
The most important thing is that the current development is much more promising than before.
Several people exchanged cups and cups, and Liu Manqing suddenly asked:
"Two generals, do you know where my brother's body was abandoned?"
Xu Liuqi and Qian Fu were stunned, with a look of shame on their faces.
Liu Jinpeng was not dead when Liu Manqing and the others fled. Liu Jinpeng was buried in the county government office after his death. She didn't know about this either.
As soon as Xu Liuqi and Qian Fu discussed the matter, Liu Manqing couldn't help but shed tears.
"I will invite General Li out at the end of tomorrow!" Xu Liuqi said seriously.
He was the guard general of Chenxi. After Jiu An left, he also went to the county government to clean up the place where Liu Jinpeng was buried and erected a monument.
After all, it was the old owner, and he could not be buried hastily.
The next day, Liu Manqing came to ask for leave from Song Yang early in the morning. She was going back to Chenxi for two days.
Song Yang already knew the purpose of her return and agreed to it.
Liu Manqing immediately took Liu Yuhua on the road back to Chenxi.
Song Chengwang was worried about Yuhua's safety and brought 500 revival troops with him.
Returning to Chenxi after half a month, things and people here have changed.
Liu Manqing's steps were a little frivolous and her whole body was trembling.
The closer she got to the Yamen, the harder she shivered.
In the end, he could only falter with the help of Liu Yuhua.
In the backyard of Chenxi County Government, in the northwest corner, a grave mound is very obvious, and there is a stone tablet erected in front of the mound.
"Brother! Second brother!" Liu Manqing shouted heartbreakingly, staggering towards the grave.
"Plop!" Liu Manqing laid the stone directly on Liu Jinpeng's grave, unable to hold back her tears.
"Second brother! Second brother!" Liu Manqing cried.
Jiang Fei silently walked to the grave, knelt down and dunked to the end.
Liu Yuhua also knelt down in front of Liu Jinpeng's tombstone with tears on her face, and kowtowed three times solemnly.
Song Chengwang sighed and did not come forward to help him. At this time, the sisters needed to vent their sadness.
The two sisters cried for a while, and then Liu Manqing gradually stopped crying.
"Miss. I will invite the general out now, and we will find a geomantic treasure for him."
Seeing that they were crying less, Xu Liuqi stepped forward and said.
Liu Manqing looked at Liu Jinpeng's tombstone.
It says "The tomb of General Chenxi Liu Jinpeng. The last general Xu Liuqi was established."
"General Xu. Brother, I will be able to serve General Xu in future generations." Liu Manqing was somewhat grateful.
"I don't dare. I will only be able to do trivial things." Xu Liuqi waved his hands.
Liu Jinpeng was originally buried hastily by Jiu'an's people. If Xu Liuqi hadn't installed a new coffin for him, Liu Jinpeng's body might have been eaten by wild dogs and rats.
Liu Manqing stood up, with tears still on her face. She looked at the tombstone and was silent for a long time and said: "General Xu, just bury your second brother here."
"Second brother has indeed said in the last few years that he wants to stay in Chenxi forever. Now that he has been buried, let him rest here forever."
Liu Manqing finally made the decision, and Liu Jinpeng was buried in the corner of the backyard of Chenxi County Government Office.
Xu Liuqi asked people to circle around and circle a place.
In this way, this place looks like a cemetery.
Although it feels a little weird to place this cemetery in the Chenxi County government office...
Liu Manqing and Liu Yuhua paid homage to Liu Jinpeng and erected a monument in front of his grave.
That's all.
The next day, Liu Manqing reintegrated Chenxi and Xupu.
Xu Liuqi and Qian Furan stayed in their original positions for the time being. They would wait until Jiu'an was eliminated before making other arrangements.
Liu Manqing arranged work for the two of them, recruiting soldiers and expanding the team.
When the Central Guizhou Road is pacified, they will be sent to other important towns to guard the area.
Xu Liuqi and Qian Fu naturally agreed with joy, and patted their chests and promised to complete the task.
Early on the third day, Liu Manqing returned to Yuanling.
At this point, all three major towns in Chenzhou were under the rule of Dagan.
Chenzhou will become the starting point for regaining the Central Guizhou Road, and will soon continue to advance to the surrounding areas.
