In Texas City, Wang Xiao was talking to the ghost loach.

"Dezhou is the gateway from the south to the capital, and now it is also the gateway from the north to Shandong. At present, the anti-thieves and thieves are still second, if Jiannu goes south, the canal will be along Ludezhou, Liaocheng, Jining, Xuzhou, Yangzhou...... These places were taken, and half of the country was paralyzed. We can only defend this Shandong gateway, and if we hold it, our father and emperor are in Shandong again, and Jiangnan is still nominally the Chu Dynasty, and then the canal can be alive again. This is the reason why your Texas Gang supports me, and this is where I can't do without your Texas Gang. However, Texas has no danger to defend ......"

"There is no danger to defend, so you can only defend it with the flesh and blood of the soldiers. When the war broke out, the people had to retreat, grain, grass, artillery, and all kinds of materials had to be brought in, and the wounded had to be transported away...... I'm going to leave it all to you. Not only for transportation, but I also want you to build all the roads and fortifications. Of course, that's an afterthought. ”

The ghost loach solemnly hugged his fists and said, "Never let Hou Ye down." ”

Wang smiled and nodded, and then said: "Linqing is now in the hands of Wu Tong, and before we take it back, the canal is not easy to go for the time being." Don't just set your sights on this one river. At present, in many places, land transportation should be carried by land, and sea transportation should be transported by sea. First build three roads between Texas and Pingyuan County and Dongdaying, so that the cavalry can support each other as quickly as possible. ”

"Next, it is not only between these three places, from Dezhou to Jinan, from Jinan to Laizhou, from Laizhou to Binzhou, and then from Binzhou to Dezhou......" Speaking of this, Wang Xiaozhi drew a circle on the map and muttered: "In this big place, I have established a defense line, and the population and materials have been migrated, except for a section of the sea, the rest are by land." In the midst of war, taking the land route is not as good as taking the canal before, and now you have to let your brothers practice...... In short, to run this place well, you have a number in mind. ”

The ghost loach looked at the circle on the map, tried to remember it for a long time, and then looked up and said, "Master Hou, I wrote it down." ”

"Okay." Wang Xiao nodded, and explained the construction of several fortifications, and the ghost loach responded one by one.

Before leaving, the ghost loach thought for a while and then turned back and asked, "Master Hou...... That one...... Military Aircraft Division...... Can anyone take the test? Is it okay to have been in jail? ”

"Huh?" Wang Xiao was slightly surprised, looked the ghost loach up and down, and said, "Yes, but the written test is not simple, you must understand the art of war...... Well, you have to be able to calculate. ”

The ghost loach scratched its head.

He looks fierce, and it is quite strange to have such a shy expression.

"It's not me, it's Hua Ye who wants to take the exam. He has always felt that it is a shame for his ancestors to beg for a living on the canal......"

"Then if Hua Ye is gone, can you help with the affairs of Zhongzhong?" Mobile phone one second to remember the "Idea Chinese Network →" to provide you with wonderful \ novel reading.

"I'll find someone else to do things." The ghost loach patted his chest and said, "Of course, I want to become a brother." ”

Wang Xiaowei was a little funny, but he changed his serious expression.

"Let's talk about it after I get in, don't try to find me to go the way, this exam of the Military Aircraft Department is fair, just and open."

Before the ghost loach left, Wang Xiao was about to deal with other things, Geng Dang poked his head in and said, "Master Hou, the eldest prince has brought Li Baibo here." ”

Wang Xiao thought about it, but said, "I won't see ...... first."

~~

Wang Xiao didn't have time to see Li Baibo, and Wang Zhen had to go to Pingyuan County, so he had to leave Li Baibo at the military plane first.

They chatted speculatively along the way, but at this time, Wang Zhen was unceremonious, and asked people to handcuff Li Baibo there with a chain.

"Brother Li, I'm offended." Wang Zhen was very polite and thoughtful, and bowed her hand again before leaving.

Li Baibo smiled bitterly, and was a little helpless about Wang Xiao's brother's actions.

It's an ordinary room, and there's not much furnishings. Occasionally, when someone walks by, they can also hear a little bit about the Chu army's side that is not very important.

"There is such a good opportunity now, if I can be admitted, I may be able to become Lord Hou's henchman......"

"We're in the military aircraft department, why do you have to take the test?"

"It's different, now draw some maps here, people only need to be craftsmen, and if we are admitted, we will become officials."

"Ha, what about the craftsman, we don't receive less rice than any official. Besides, it's not a serious scientific examination, in the final analysis, even if it is admitted, it is also an official position recommended by the Hou Ye to the King of Qi. And how can anyone regard this as a serious fame? ”

"Different, different, our army went out of the city to fight, Mr. Dong and Mr. Xia's insight and courage are slightly better than that of the general soldiers, and this military aircraft will definitely shine in the future......"

The voice faded away, Li Baibo listened in the room, and sighed slightly.

After a while, someone pushed open the door and walked in.

Although Li Baibo had never seen Wang Xiao, he still knew that it was him at first sight.

"I thought that Chu Hou was busy with business and wouldn't see me so soon."

"It's not because I'm busy with business, I just don't see you with my eldest brother. He said that you are the best in the world, and if you meet and persuade you again, you may be able to persuade you to surrender. But I think why bother? ”

"Not really." Li Baibo smiled: "On the other hand, you didn't want to see me, but you were also afraid that you would be persuaded by me, right?" ”

"Don't be so loud, you're my captive now."

Li Baibo said: "I met Wang Zhen today, and his character and talent are really heartbreaking. He has compassion for the common people, but I'm afraid he is not a loyal servant of the Chu Dynasty...... Now the Marquis of Chu is now making great achievements and has become the mainstay of the Chu Dynasty, and the elite of the north are all tied to the hands of the Marquis of Chu. "The idea Chinese the fastest www.@@slzww@@.com network

When he said this, he smiled, and suddenly asked, "Do you have the heart to stand on behalf of Chu?" ”

"Li Baibo, you are very smart." Wang smiled, "It's a pity that you guessed wrong. ”

"That's half the guess. Even if you don't have this mind, Wang Zhen may not have the intention of helping you succeed. He's the same kind of person as I am, and I know him. Li Baibo said: "He knows that I will not surrender to the Chu Dynasty, but he still wants you to see me." Therefore, he wants me to surrender, but I am afraid that it will not be to the Chu Dynasty, but to you. ”

Wang Xiao didn't answer, he spread his hands helplessly, and said, "I said that I shouldn't see you." ”

"Since Wang Zhen's thoughts have been seen by me, Chu Hou might as well kill me?"

"If you can see it, others may be able to see it. But it doesn't matter, I don't have this mind, and no one can wronged me. ”

Li Baibo smiled and asked, "Chu Hou doesn't want to kill me, is it because of His Highness the Seventh?" ”

"Hmm, you're a bad reader, peeking at my letters?"

"Nope. It's just that since you are willing to put back my lady, you must still have the Seven Highnesses in your heart. ”

The king laughed, "So what? Want me to let you go too? ”

Li Baibo said slowly: "Chu Hou doesn't know what he wants, right? In the troubled times, if you want to stand on behalf of Chu and stand on your own, you shouldn't have gone to Liaodong in the first place, wouldn't it be better to directly manage Jiaodong. Or now, you have held Emperor Chu hostage, and you don't have to care about Zhou Yan's life or death at all. If you really want to help Chu, you shouldn't have so much military power, you supported Zhou Yan's coup d'état to seize power, and you didn't act like a loyal minister. He even made a private agreement with our Seven Highnesses for life. If Zhou Yan really stabilizes the situation one day, the first person to kill you will be. ”

"You won't be unable to understand this. At least I know that Wang Zhen has seen it clearly. I really can't figure out where your intentions are. Perhaps, you don't understand what you want? ”

Wang Xiao glanced at him, smiled, and said, "I don't want to be an emperor, nor do I want to be a powerful minister. I just want to live in peace, without precariousness and without being oppressed. You don't have to kneel down and act respectful, and you don't have to be killed for no reason. I could probably be a commoner, but I could still be rich and not worry about someone breaking into my house one day. ”

"Oh, that's easy to say. If you think about it, how many people in this world can live like this? ”

"yes, but I want to live like that."

Li Baibo said: "If the Marquis of Chu really thinks like this, he can vote for our Rui Dynasty." I promise that Hou Ye can live like this. ”

"You can't promise it."

"I promise." Li Baibo was very sincere, "I understand Your Majesty, as long as you are willing to vote, Your Majesty can promise you a marriage with His Royal Highness the Seventh, keep your soldiers and horses, Danshu iron coupons, and enjoy your life." Even if Master Hou can't trust me, he should be able to trust His Royal Highness the Seventh. ”

"You can't promise it." Wang Xiao was also very sincere, "I surrendered, even if Tang Zhongyuan didn't kill me, I still have to worry about Jiannu killing my home." ”

What's the difference? I said, Your Majesty can keep your soldiers and horses, how did you do it in the Chu Dynasty, you can still act the same way in the Rui Dynasty......"

"It's different." Wang smiled.

"It's the same."

"It's not the ......same," Wang said with a smile: "The power given by Tang Zhongyuan and the ...... given by Zhou Yan Not ......"

Here he paused, and after a moment's dazedness, chuckled.

Kicking the iron chain on Li Baibo's feet, Wang smiled and said, "You remember for me that you are my prisoner." ”

A captive dares to turn around and surrender the man who captured him.

- I didn't have such treatment when I was a prisoner in Liaodong.

Thinking like this, he didn't bother to say more to Li Baibo, turned around and walked out.

"His Royal Highness the Seventh is sick." Li Baibo said again.

Wang Xiao stopped.

She made a promise in front of His Majesty that the Wang family would surrender, but Wang Zhen led Emperor Chu to run. At the time of Bazhou, the Eastern Expeditionary Army had already caught up with the Chu army, and His Royal Highness was worried that the Wang family's family would be lost, so he opened the passage privately, and Wang Zhen was able to break through the siege and flee all the way to Cangzhou. As a daughter, she spent a lot of effort to make a name for herself in the rebel army, and now she has fallen short......"

After speaking, Wang Xiao did not look back and walked out of the door.

Li Baibo looked at his back and exhaled slightly.

Still failed to convince Wang Xiao.

Since he picked up Tang Xiaoshuang, he has begun to think about it. Unfortunately, it still didn't convince him.

That's it, today is an acquaintance, and there is still a long way to go......

~~

Outside the house, Wang Xiao also exhaled.

He came to see Li Baibo, which was the most meaningless thing he had done in the past few days.

He didn't have any purpose for Li Baibo.

So, he didn't hold the majesty of the marquis, pretending to be deep, just came over to chat casually like an ordinary person, because the other party was Qianqian's old acquaintance, so he came to get to know him.

I didn't expect myself to be so open-minded, but the other party still wanted to persuade myself.

- It's just ill-intentioned......
