"You are the official army of the imperial court, how can you do the slaughter of the city? It's even worse than bandits! ”

Liu Min scolded angrily.

Xu Guanzhong's words were something he never imagined, how could he do such a thing as a court official.

It's horrible! It was so terrifying that he didn't need to think about whether Xu Guanzhong's words were true.

Whether it's true or not, he has to take it as if it's true, because he can't afford to gamble.

He treats the people of Wanzhou like children, why don't the people of Wanzhou treat him like parents? If he was really slaughtered because of him, it would be difficult for him Liu Min to die and be able to atone for his crimes.

"I know what you're thinking, you don't have to wonder if this will happen, because as long as you die, it will happen, and I have a good reason."

Xu Guanzhong looked at him and said.

"After conquering Wanzhou City, the Song army sent 30,000 people, with 5,000 dead and wounded, and there were as many as 70,000 or 80,000 sergeants guarding Wanzhou City. They killed the Song army, and the Song army naturally had the right to kill them, which was one of the reasons. ”

"If this reason is not enough, I can add one more: that is, I know that at present, there are still people in Wanzhou City who want to plan to save you! So if you die, they will rebel, I don't slaughter the city now, do you wait for them to kill them? Why did I sacrifice the lives of my sergeants in vain! ”

"Now, you won't doubt it, will you?"

"How on earth are you going to let them go? The sin is not for the people! Liu Min said angrily.

Xu Guanzhong looked playful: "It's very simple, if you surrender, the people of Wancheng will naturally surrender, such a simple truth, don't you understand?" ”

Surrender?

Liu Min was silent.

surrender, infidelity; No surrender, no righteousness!

Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve, and today, I have fully realized it.

"Is it hard to choose?" Xu Guanzhong said indifferently, "Do you want to write a letter and ask Wang Qingrang if he will let you surrender?" Oh! By the way, Wang Qing is not available now! In order to save Wancheng, Wang Qing hurriedly sent 100,000 troops from Nanfeng Mansion, but he was annihilated by me before he entered Wanzhou, and only a few thousand people fled back, he should be thinking about escaping now, you go and ask him now, he must let you not surrender, it is best to use the heads of the people of Wanzhou to drag the Song army for a few days...... And guess it would? ”

"What...... What the? 100,000 troops wiped out? ”

Liu Min grew his mouth and was speechless for a long time.

"Yes! The 100,000 army has been wiped out, and there is no one left to save the people of Wanzhou, their only hope is you! You're right, the people won't be harmed, and I don't want them to die. But if they die, I don't care if I say it, you say it's okay! ”

Liu Min squinted at Xu Guanzhong and said coldly: "In order to force me to surrender, you threaten me with the lives of the people of Wanzhou......"

"Wrong! I just said very clearly, I don't care if you surrender or not, what I care about is that you surrender to save the lives of the people of Wanzhou! ”

"If I surrender ......"

"You are the new Wanzhou Governor of the Great Song Dynasty! I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will refuse my request! Xu Guanzhong said directly.

"I can descend! But I have conditions! ”

"Tell me about it!"

"First!" Liu Min held up a finger, "Don't hurt another Wanzhou people!" ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "You are Zhiwanzhou, and you have the final say on the people under your rule!" ”

"Good! Second, maintain the current status and not allow tax increases in Wanzhou! No conscription in Wanzhou! ”

Xu Guanzhong glanced at him when he heard this: "Don't you know that the current tax of the Great Song Dynasty is lower than that of Wanzhou?" As for conscription, there is no need for it, anyway, Wang Qing's defeat has already appeared. ”

"Then the third question: bypass the life of the King of Chu at that time!"

"I can't do it!"

"Then I can only die!"

Xu Guanzhong: "I can't do it, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can do it!" You surrender first, Wang Qing will wait until the time comes! ”

Liu Min: "......"

Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Min bid farewell to Xu Guanzhong, and Wang Huan, Yang Wen, and Xu Jing entered Wancheng with 10,000 Song troops. Seeing Liu Min wearing the new official uniform of the Great Song Dynasty and walking into the state office, a stone in the hearts of the people of Wancheng finally fell to the ground.

Zong Ze, Xu Guanzhong, Yang Cunzhong, and Li Yanxian also left Longzhong Mountain with a large army and entered Fancheng.

On the road.

"Wu Jue and Wu Ling didn't have time to participate in the Wanzhou War, and they missed a success!"

Zong Ze looked at Xu Guanzhong, but saw Xu Guanzhong smiling and shaking his head.

"Calculating the time, they shouldn't have missed the Wanzhou battle, I think they have encountered something else."

"What does Guan Zhong think will happen?" Zong Ze looked at Xu Guanzhong and smiled.

Xu Guanzhong knew that this was the teacher testing him, so he said: "The direction of his original attack is close to Shannan Prefecture, where there are Duan Er's 30,000 horses and 20,000 sailors, I guess they met the reinforcements sent by Duan Er; With the skills of their two brothers, they may be able to meet in Xiangyang! ”

"Hahaha! You and I see the same thing......"

"Report!"

Before Zong Ze finished speaking, two Song soldiers rode their horses to the front and reported on the horse: "The two Wu generals asked their subordinates to report: 10,000 reinforcements from Shannan have been defeated, and the generals Bairen and Zhang Qia have surrendered; The two generals were delayed due to the war, and when they wanted to attack Wanzhou, they heard that the defeated army in Wanzhou who fled to Shannan said that Wancheng had been surrounded, so they went straight to Shannan with the cooperation of Bai Ren and Zhang Qia, killed the generals Que Zhu, Qian Fu, and Qian Yi, captured the main general Duan Er, the general Weng Fei and the army Zuo Mou, recruited 20,000 troops, and now they have rushed to Xiangyang to meet! ”

Zong Ze and Xu Guanzhong looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, and Xu Guanzhong asked again: "Who is guarding Shannan now?" ”

"It's General Hu Cheng and General Zhang Qia, leading 5,000 people to guard!"

"Hmmm! Hu Cheng is brave and strategic, and can defend the south of the mountain! Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "You go back and report to the two Wu generals, Ji Shanjun's attitude is unclear, he may not only sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, but also help Wang Qing, let him act carefully, don't be careless!" ”

"Yes!"

Xu Guanzhong looked at the back of the sergeant who reported the news, and said to Zong Ze: "There are still 20,000 sailors under Duan Er, and Wu Jue and Wu Ling didn't encounter it when they attacked Duan Er, so they should have collided with Han Shizhong!" It's a pity that I don't know about water warfare, but I believe that with the ability of Han Shizhong and Li Jun and others, I can lead 60,000 naval troops to attack 20,000 Zhuneng, even if I am not familiar with the location, it is not difficult to win. Now the most important thing to guard against is still the Kiyama Army. ”

Zong Ze nodded: "Although there are only 30,000 Ji Shanjun, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly warned you and me to be especially vigilant against Li Zhu, Li Yi, Yuan Lang, Ma Xun (Yin Jiang), Ma Jin, Teng Ji (Yin Kui), and Teng Ji (Yin Kan). Except for Li Kai, none of these seven people are not ten thousand enemies, and Li Kai is good at commanding troops, so this Jishan army really needs to be guarded against. I don't know what happened to the prince, it is said that Dai Zong should return, is something wrong? ”
