Liu Mingge pulled Tan Banshan to the city gate, and Tan Banshan suddenly withdrew, "Lord Liu, isn't he here to earn my city?" ”

Liu Mingge couldn't cry or laugh: "With my skills, do you think a city gate and hundreds of defenders can stop me?" What is the use of me earning your city? The country is almost gone, do you think we are going to rely on a mere Bajun city to recover the beams? ”

"Don't be surprised Lord Liu, someone Tan is responsible for the lives of the soldiers and civilians in Ba County, so you can't be cautious!" Tan Banshan reached back and grabbed Liu Mingge's sleeve.

The two took dozens of sergeants to the city gate and welcomed Liu Jian and his party in.

Liu Jian cried with joy, "Lord Tan is really a loyal and righteous man, I want it"

Before he finished speaking, Tan Banshan waved his hand, "The minister knows, I know, Your Majesty is quiet, there are not many soldiers and horses in Bajun City!" ”

"Lord Tan is used to being cautious, Your Majesty don't be surprised, if he weren't so cautious, this Bajun City would have been out of place a long time ago!" Liu Mingge came to play the round immediately

Liu Jian wiped his eyes and whispered, "I know, I know"

Xiao Qian around was all around, Qin Zhong covered his mouth and snickered, Tan Banshan looked around, "Be careful, be careful!" ”

Everyone couldn't stop laughing at this time, Liu Mingge patted Tan Banshan on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, I'm here, don't worry, we'll repair in a few days and leave!" ”

Tan Banshan's face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty and Lord Liu, don't you believe me?" So anxious to go? ”

"You are stupid, if Cui Ju knew that we were in Ba County, and didn't send a large army over, then your Ba County would be finished! All we need is a few boats, and we will have someone to pick us up and down the river. Keep guarding your Bajun City! ”

was counted down by Liu Mingge, Tan Banshan felt a little aggrieved, but it was not easy to attack, so he had to lower his head and continue to settle everyone.

Liu Jian suddenly remembered the matter of the Sword Tower, and also wanted to try his luck, "Mr. Liu, will there be people from the Sword Tower in Bajun?" ”

Liu Mingge patted Tan Banshan, "Lord Tan, is there a Taoist temple in this city?" ”

Tan Banshan was a little nervous: "Lord Liu is going to the Taoist temple to incense, or?" ”

"You tell me there are, how many there are, just where they are!"

"That's the case, Lord Liu, in order to prevent spies from mixing in the Taoist temples, I sent someone to seal the three Taoist temples in the city!"

Liu Mingge and Liu Jian almost shot at the same time, but they shrank back again, "Where did the Taoist priest in that Taoist temple go?" ”

"The lower officials placed them in a village outside the city, except for a drunkard Taoist priest who had to drink all day long, and the others still followed the rules!"

"Okay, Lord Tan's work is really good, quickly send someone to take me to see them, the food and clothing of the few people here depend on you Lord Tan." There are also dozens of brothers who are escorting, and they also ask Lord Tan to send someone to settle down," Liu Mingge said, picked up his long sword and walked out again

Tan Banshan hurriedly sent a team of soldiers to guide Liu Mingge, and personally vacated the government office for Liu Jian and them, only saying that a distinguished guest had come.

This time, Liu Mingge was very lucky, and the drunkard Taoist priest was the sword chief arranged by the Sword Tower in Ba County.

This person's name is Xie Dian, and he drinks all day long, and the people of Bajun call him a drunkard Taoist. This Xie Dian relied on this image of a drunkard, and ordinary people were not wary of it at all, so he heard and saw many secrets without difficulty.

Liu Mingge took out a gold ingot and a Huayang sword recipe and gave it to Xie Dian, "Senior nephew, thank you for your hard work, I don't have anything else to give away, this sword recipe has followed me for many years, and the other is a little wine money!" If you don't dislike it, take it! ”

Xie Dian was not crazy at all at this moment, and immediately knelt on the ground and thanked him, holding the Huayang Sword in both hands and trembling uncontrollably.

"Okay, okay, you put away the sword trick and the gold, come with me to meet the distinguished guest, we have something to ask you"

"Uncle Shi instructed, the little nephew must know everything!" Xie Dian took the sword

Jue and Jin took it into his arms and followed Liu Mingge back to the city.

After entering the city, Xie Dian began to talk to Liu Jian about the current situation, and before he could say a few words, Xiao Qian couldn't help but ask, "Is the little emperor okay at the moment?" ”

Xie Dian nodded, "At present, he is still the emperor, but it won't be in half a year, Cui Ju has already added nine tin, what is he going to do next, presumably the nobles know!" ”

As soon as she heard that her son was fine, Liu Jian Xiaoqian felt a little better.

Xie Dian continued to talk about Cui Ju's attack on Luoyang, Tuyuhun aiding Wei, and the Southern Navy sending troops to Jiangnan.

Regarding the Southern Navy's dispatch to Jiangnan, Liu Jian said that he was very surprised, "My master and Li Xiaofei are strange, they didn't fight King Cui Juqin first, but were in a hurry to fight Jiangnan, could it be that they wanted to defeat Jiangnan and establish themselves as kings?" ”

"It's not for the villain to know, the villain only gets these specific news, as for their motives, I can't do anything!"

"This Southern Navy doesn't know whether it is loyal or treacherous, even if it is a loyal minister, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, not to mention that they have already started a war with the Wei State." Qin Zhong also interjected

Liu Jian pondered for a while, "Since the leader of the Southern Navy is Li Xiaofei, there is naturally no need to doubt his loyalty, it's just their line."

Speaking of this, Liu Mingge stroked his palms and laughed: "Very good, if the Southern Navy comes westward with all its might, there will definitely be heavy guards on the Yangtze River. Now in such a situation, I can swim on this big river, without further ado, I will go down the river east tomorrow! ”

Liu Jian also immediately understood, "What a risky move, put it to death and then live, whether I am the true son of heaven or not, it depends on this time!" ”

Liu Mingge waved his hand, "Of course, Your Majesty is the true son of heaven, this is not a dangerous move, you can leave tonight, go to Huarong County to find the black pearl, and tell her that we have gone down the river to the east, let her go up the river to answer!" ”

"If we meet with Black Pearl's fleet, it would be better if Li Xiaofei could lead people to the west to meet us!" Liu Jian wanted to defeat Cui Ju and restore the throne as soon as possible, so he said what he thought in his heart

"It's not impossible, when we gain a firm foothold, send a secret envoy to tell Li Xiaofei to stop fighting with the Wei army, and it is best to form an alliance to crusade against Cui Ju together. Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the minister will do everything he can to do it! ”

Xiao Qian frowned, "Your Majesty and Prime Minister should not be too optimistic, the emperor is still in Cui Ju's hands, and when Cui Ju threatens the emperor, do we want to sacrifice the emperor?" ”

Liu Jian wanted to say what a son was for the foundation of Daliang, but when he thought about it, all the people around him were chilled, so he squeezed out tears: "At that time, I will exchange my life for the emperor, the emperor cannot be sacrificed, and the loyal ministers and righteous people cannot be sacrificed!" I want everyone to be well! ”

Liu Mingge coughed, "Cough, Your Majesty and the concubine don't have to worry too much, as long as you are safe, it will be enough for Liu to save the King of Linjiang!" ”

Seeing Liu Mingge's promise, Xiao Qian immediately knelt down, "Mr. Liu is really our great benefactor!" Xiao Qian has nothing to repay, only to burn incense and pray for her husband every day in the future! ”

Liu Jian also made a posture of kneeling, and Liu Mingge hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty, concubine, you can't help it, so without the dignity of the upper and lower levels, isn't it a trap for disloyalty and no king?" If you are like this again, Liu will have to escape and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests overnight! ”

Xie Dian also yawned, "Uncle Shi, Your Majesty, I'm addicted to alcohol, I'll leave first, there are too many people, I'm not comfortable drinking and eating!" Farewell! With that, he went out briskly

Liu Mingge helped Liu Jian and Xiao Qian back to sit down, "I have been an official for a few years, and I have learned red tape, but I am not as free and easy as my teacher and nephew!" After His Majesty rejuvenated the Great Liang, the first thing the old minister did was to resign from his official position and cultivate immortal alchemy! ”

"Lord Liu, is there really an elixir of immortality in this world?" Qin Zhong couldn't help but ask

"Maybe there is, but I haven't seen it, don't say it, don't say it, or dine with Your Majesty, the old rules,

Father-in-law Qin, you and I will taste it first! ”

Liu Jian Xiao Qian suddenly burst into tears and laughed, "You have eaten this good dish first, we will eat the leftovers, and everyone will eat them together today, in no particular order." ”

Tan Banshan disagreed, "Your Majesty's golden body is dining here in Weichen, the minister can't break the rules, this dish is still tasted by the minister first" As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and immediately a servant brought twenty-eight dishes, and then dozens of people brought four pots and put them in the middle.

The servant sent tableware to Liu Jian and the others, and waited for Tan Banshan to taste the dishes in turn before serving them to Liu Jian.

The banquet went very smoothly, and Liu Jian was even more impressed by Tan Banshan, and privately told Liu Mingge that he would reuse Tan Banshan after the restoration of the country in the future.

Qin Zhong felt that Tan Banshan was too rigid, but Liu Mingge thought that it was such a serious person who was lacking in etiquette today.

"If there are more serious people like Tan Banshan around Your Majesty in the future, Your Majesty will be very lucky, and Da Liang will be very lucky! If you blindly pursue power and strategy, and forget to do things for the people, it will be a waste of time! ”

Listening to Liu Mingge's words, Qin Zhong was silent, and Liu Jian hugged his fists and said that after the restoration of the country, he would definitely put the people of the world first in everything, and select the best people to be able to prosper.

Under the city of Luoyang, Shen De's army did not dare to attack the city with all its might, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were more confident when they saw the Tuyuhun reinforcements to defend the city.

After Song Huafu came back, all the officials congratulated him one after another, but he frowned and looked sad, "What is there to celebrate, ceding Guanzhong to Tuyuhun and losing the land and population in exchange for reinforcements." If this so-called reinforcement easily defeats Cui Ju's army, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not covet the Central Plains! ”

Having said that, when he met Pharmacist Zhu, Song Huafu only said that the reinforcements were strong, and the army and the people were united, so that Pharmacist Zhu could recuperate with peace of mind.

In Shen De's camp, Cui Keyuan thought that Tuyuhun should be repelled first, and then attack Luoyang, and many generals also asked for battle.

"General Shen, our army has far more troops than Tuyuhun, we should first defeat Tuyuhun in one go, and then conquer Luoyang with the victory of Yu Wei, Luoyang City is just some old, weak, sick and disabled!"

"I am willing to take the lead, our combat power will not be lost to Tuyuhun!"

"General Shen, you can give the order to fight! If you wait any longer, the brothers will be tired of waiting! ”

Shen De has been thinking about one thing, that is, there is someone who has never appeared, and this person is Murong Ling.

The news reported by the spies was that the commander of Tuyuhun's troops was Murong Yuanzhong, not Murong Ling. However, Shen De's own soldiers found that there was a tent in the Tuyuhun camp that would be lit every night, and then a tall and thin figure would come out.

Shen De shook his head, "You can't fight easily, in case Murong Ling is in the army, you will only die in vain!" I do have an idea, if Wei can unite with Tuyuhun, we can also send someone to negotiate peace with Tuyuhun, and by the way, find out the truth! ”

Cui Keyuan turned around all of a sudden, "General Shen is right, we can send an envoy over, I already have this intention!" ”

The envoys here sent six batches in a row, and after confirming that Murong Ling was not in the army, Cui Keyuan went in person with dozens of carts of property.

Although there was an alliance with the Wei State in front, Murong Yuanzhong was shaken in the face of the yellow and white silk silk, coupled with the strength of Shen De's army.

Instead of helping to defend Luoyang, it is better to besiege Luoyang with Shen De and capture Zhu Yaoshi, and when the time comes, divide the Central Plains equally, wouldn't it be more rewarding.

Yesterday's enemy became today's coalition army in a blink of an eye, and Zhao Wei saw the Tuyuhun army moving towards the city from the city, and hurriedly ordered to prepare for war with the intuition of the soldiers.

Some officials who supervised the war were afraid of accidentally injuring friendly troops, so they were busy blocking Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei drew his sword and pointed, "This is clearly coming to attack the city!" If you don't gather the whole city to go to the city, it's over! ”

"But they're allies?"

"Go to his allies, it's true that there is only money, food, land, and women in the world, and the allies are unreliable!"
