The situation in Gangneung City naturally affects not only the ordinary people in Gangneung City, but also the ministers in the court, the officials in Gangneung City, and the high-status scholar groups.

For ordinary people, it is the same for everyone to be the supreme ruler, and no matter who presides over Gangneung City, they will live as usual and pay taxes as usual, as long as it is not the kind of tyrannical ruler who makes it impossible for them to survive.

During this time, in response to the various situations in Gangneung City, all the forces in the city kept playing to the court, and the statements were different, and even some scholars jointly wrote to the court through the relationship, asking His Majesty to open the city and surrender.

Today's little Tianzi Liu Qiong is only seven years old, and after hearing the news, she naturally doesn't know why, in the face of the current situation, what can the seven-year-old baby do.

So he hurriedly summoned his important ministers to the Gangneung Hall to discuss the solution of this matter.

Liu Qiong is still young, so the Empress Dowager Fu has been cooperating with the government all these years, of course, the Empress Dowager Fu does not have any substantive political power, she does this, just to support the little emperor, and the second is just to be able to support Fu Wan from the perspective of her Empress Dowager at a critical moment.

But in the current situation, these forces supporting the Jingzhou Imperial Court have no time for infighting.

Xiao Liu Qiong sat directly above the main hall, looked at the ministers below, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, the army of potters is pressing, and Jiangling City is in danger, what should we do in the face of this situation?" ”

All the ministers in the palace bowed their heads and were silent, if they knew what to do, wouldn't this matter be solved as soon as possible? Do you still have to wait until now for you to ask?

Seeing that none of the ministers answered their questions, Xiao Liu Qiong began to name them.

"Taifu, tell me about it."

Fu Wan sighed and stood up: "According to the minister's intentions, the enemy army is strong at the moment, and although Jiangling is strong, it is not enough to fight against the strength of the whole country, the old man suggested...... Negotiate peace with Tao. ”

Liu Qiong frowned and said, "How to negotiate peace?" ”

After brushing the beard of the man, he said: "Draw the river and rule, agree on the boundary, and never invade each other." ”

When you say this, it's just a fart, don't talk about others, you don't believe it after you finish it.

Don't look at Liu Qiong as just a child, but she is also very sensible.

"Taifu, I'm afraid your suggestion is not very attractive to potters, right? At present, all parts of Jingzhou, except for the land of Nanjun, have almost been annexed by potters, and only Jiangling City remains...... Could it be that the potters will return the seized land to us? ”

After Fu Wan, he also knew that he was pure, so he smiled and didn't say anything.

Dong Cheng stood up and said, "Since it is not possible to negotiate peace...... Your Majesty, then let's surrender. ”

The Empress Dowager Fu next to Liu Qiong was unhappy when she heard this.

"General Zuo, what did you say about this? I, the Son of Heaven, how can I ask the rebels of the Han Dynasty to surrender? ”

Dong Cheng didn't even look at the Queen Mother, but said to Fu Wan: "Taifu, you must know that if you surrender to the potters at this time, he may still remember the opening of the city, let go of Your Majesty, and let go of your ministers, but once the potters themselves conquer the city, all this is not easy to say!"

Fu Wan's face became extremely ugly, and he seemed to be trying to figure out Dong Cheng's words.

Liu Bei said in a low voice on the side: "General Zuo, you seem to have forgotten something. ”

Dong Cheng turned his head to look at him: "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Bei said lightly: "In this entire hall, the potter may let go of anyone, but he may not let you and Taifu alone." ”

When Dong Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth, not understanding why Liu Bei was so obscure with him.

But Fu Wan obviously seemed to have thought of something.

That's right, the rebellion in Fandu that year, he single-handedly planned and harmed Tao Guifei and Liu Xi, although the two of them were later rescued by the pottery merchant, but it is said that Tao Guifei has never been healthy because of the events of the year, and now if Jiangling City is really breached, according to the pottery merchant's urine, the first one to be killed must be him ambushed!

Thinking of this, he shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no!" Absolutely not! Surrender is never allowed. ”

Liu Bei arched his hand at Liu Qiong and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion, maybe you can give it a try." ”

Liu Qiong turned her head to look at him: "What suggestions?" ”

"Xichuan Liu Jiyu is a relative of the Han family, and he was also loyal to His Majesty back then, if Your Majesty is willing, he may be able to go to Xichuan to avoid the edge temporarily."

When everyone in the hall heard this, they immediately became excited.

Liu Qiong's eyes also lit up: "What the hussar general said is that instead of sitting here at the moment, it is better to quickly command the three armies and go to Xichuan to avoid the enemy." ”

Dong Cheng said suspiciously: "But at the moment, the Jinling army is besieging the city, and its momentum is very large, if Your Majesty wants to withdraw to Xichuan, I am afraid that it will not be easy." ”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "But it's not, the minister has figured out the law of the Jinling army's march, our city is surrounded by water on three sides, Zhao Yun's main force is in the north, but the road in the north is blocked, as for the other three sides of the city surrounded by water, although there are potters' water armies from time to time to attack the city, but we can't always watch the city, so we can find the opportunity, and then go upstream from the waterway to Xichuankou." ”

As soon as Liu Qiong heard this, her two eyes suddenly flashed brightly.

"Or the hussar general has been in battle for a long time, has foresight, has ideas, and goes to Sichuan and Shu...... Very good! ”

Liu Bei arched his hand and said: "The minister is willing to lead the troops as a pioneer to protect His Majesty to Xichuan." ”

Before Liu Bei could admit it, he saw that he finished saying after seeing him: "Your Majesty, it is a little inappropriate to let the hussar general be the pioneer." ”

Liu Qiong looked at him curiously: "Why can't you let the hussar general go?" ”

Fu Wan cleared his throat: "Once we plan to go to Xichuan, so that the pottery merchant can hear the news, we will inevitably pursue on the one hand, and send troops to seize Jiangling City, just look at it below, Jiangling City is currently the most important for the pottery merchant, if he conquers the city quickly, I am afraid that he will concentrate all his forces to come and pursue, and then I am afraid that it will bring danger to His Majesty, according to the opinion below, the urgency of delay is to let people be able to protect the city while His Majesty escapes, so that His Majesty can have enough time to go west." ”

Liu Qiong blinked, after all, he was young, and some things were not easy to do too directly.

So, he naturally looked at the Queen Mother beside him.

Empress Dowager Fu naturally supported her father's remarks.

"In this case, I will ask the hussar general and the generals under his command to guard the city of Gangneung, and the other general will open the way for His Majesty and go to Xichuan."

Liu Bei didn't refute either, he just made a long bow to the Son of Heaven and took the order safely.
