Pang Tianshou's guarantee is not only to the Empress Dowager, but also to his own heart.

"The queen mother, the mother concubine, and the sons will never be fine."

"Okay, Na Gu and your mother and all the ladies in the palace will pray for you, pray for the emperor, pray for Daming, and pray that my Daming can survive this catastrophe safely."

"Well, Queen Xie!"

Immediately Qianqian got up, looked back at her entourage, and said only one sentence with a deep and distant gaze: "Go!" ”

Outside Liuzhou City, the newcomer Kong Youde ordered the troops to attack without stopping, and the queen, accompanied by Yu Qing'er and the chief eunuch of the celebrant Zhangyin, even personally climbed to the top of the city and commanded the army and the people to defend the city.

This is the difference between the Ming army in Liuzhou and the Ming army in Guilin, Qianqian did not send troops to fight a field battle with the enemy in Xiaorongjiang, but resolutely defended the city.

For a time, the offensive and defensive battles in Liuzhou were anxious, and Kong Youde came with a surprise attack with light equipment, lacking heavy firearms in his hands, but he was in chaos under the blow of the Ming army's artillery fire defending the city, and many charges were repulsed in succession.

The battle lasted until nightfall, Qianqian actually ordered the fierce general Jiao Lian to lead the army out of the city to counterattack, Qu Shiyun and many ministers said no, the so-called fierce general Jiao Lian did not listen to the queen's orders, but chose to remain silent.

The herald truthfully returned to the city to tell the queen, Qianqian frowned, and looked at Pang Tianshou, at this time, the white-haired old man beside her seemed to be the person she trusted the most.

The sunset on the city sprinkled on Pang Tianshou's silver-white hair and eyebrows, as well as his bloodless face like white paper, the old eunuch has always been a cold-hearted and cold-blooded person, seeing Qianqian looking at himself, he raised his eyebrows lightly, and his eyes showed a killing intent, if the emperor put down his words and let him do what he wanted to do the most, he would be the first to help Tianlang kill Qu Shiyun, this Qu Shiyun never knew what harmony and win-win was.

In the group of eunuchs under the leadership of Pang Tianshou, the word 'harmony' has unwittingly become a verb to describe murder.

"If Niangniang has a decision in her heart, she will make her own decisions, but the regret is that the old slave can't lead troops to kick his ass outside the city like Kong Youde did last time when he came to Guilin.

In the eyes of the old slave, big things are not as important as the safety of the mother, the mother wants to kick the city, the old slave will inevitably accompany him, but as long as the old slave does not die, he will never leave the mother's side. ”

"No wonder the emperor has always said that the eldest companion is his elder, but the eldest companion also takes care of us as his own children." ”

"Hehehe," Pang Tianshou smiled freely, "The group of monkey cubs in the palace all call the old slave an old ancestor, the old slave has served four emperors, and he does have some face."

But what the old slave wants is not this kind of face, the old slave only hopes that the old slave is the last emperor that the old slave serves, so the old slave will never allow the mother and the long live lord to have something to do, even if he wants to die, he has to let the old dog of the slave die in front of the two masters. ”

Qianqian had never heard any good words in the mouths of the internal and external ministers in the past, most people either hated her or forbade her, most of them respected her on the surface, but they had a rebellious attitude in their hearts, Pang Tianshou's words were the first time she heard in the mouths of the ministers of the imperial court that made her happy.

Qianqian was very warm-hearted, pursed her lips, with a slight trace of sadness, her eyes were soft at first, and then decisive.

She took out the queen's treasure seal from her waist, handed it to Wang Kun, and said: "You take this, go to the right camp to show Jiao Lian, and tell him that he is taking the military salary and Yulu given to him by the national dynasty, and he should also be a military general of the national dynasty, not a retainer of Qu Shiyun, if he dares to disobey the edict of the palace and refuse to leave the city, the palace will let Chen Youlong and Du Yinxi destroy him first!" ”

Pang Tianshou also snorted lightly and added, "Hmph, eating the rice in the pot but thinking about how to smash the pot, this thief should be killed!" ”

Wang Kun took the phoenix seal and went to Jiao Lian with Qianqian's message, but Jiao Lian didn't expect the queen's will to be so resolute, and he had the heart to take Qu Shiyun's opinion into account, but he already felt that if he continued to listen to Qu Shiyun like this, his situation would become more and more embarrassing, the queen was right, was he Qu Shiyun's retainer or the Ming general's general?

After clarifying the reality and weighing the severity, Jiao Lian finally gathered the men and launched an attack on Kong Youde at the last moment when the sun set.

Kong Youde was encamping in the north of Liuzhou at this time, which should have been done when he came in the morning, but he didn't.

After waiting outside Guilin for a day, there was a heavy rain during the siege, which made Kong Youde very depressed, regretting that he had watched too much of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and knew that Guilin City was not an empty city at all, so it was not good for him to go into the city comfortably and lie down and sleep that night?

So this time he thought about entering Liuzhou City for lunch, but he didn't eat a meal until the evening.

Jiao Lian's sudden attack he didn't expect it, and found that the Ming army went out of the city to counterattack, so he quickly led his troops to throw down the military tent and retreat in an orderly manner.

He knew that he had few soldiers, so he didn't dare to chase after him, so he lit a fire in the tent and barracks that Kong Youde retreated to leave without waiting to set up, and then returned to the city leisurely.

For such a record, Qianqian naturally didn't say anything, Jiao Lian's attack on the left and right was won, and it greatly boosted the morale of the defenders.

While watching the battle at the head of the city, she also noticed that Yu Qing'er, who was beside her, had a fiery and bright smile on her face when she saw the raging fire lit in Kong Youde's military camp, and the tent that once made her heart palpitate forever burned to ashes.

Kong Youde wanted to break into Liuzhou and catch Qianqian for lunch, but he didn't eat a single meal; I wanted to spend the night in Liuzhou City, but I didn't even have a tent to sleep in at night.

After that, he still insisted on staying outside Liuzhou for a few days, but this time he was lightly armed, and the military rations were about to run out.

In this way, he pinched his fingers, and it seemed that Liuzhou City was not something that his strength could take, so he reported it to Nikan, and wanted to ask King Jingjin if he could pull his brother in the face of the Great Qing Kingdom.

When Nikan received the letter, he was stationed in Hengzhou City, and he expressed his contempt for Kong Youde's betrayal and pretext, and he hurriedly replied to Kong Youde, strictly ordering Kong Youde to continue to attack Liuzhou City regardless of whether he could break the city within three days, only wait for himself to arrive in three days, and take Liuzhou in one go.

At the end of the reply, he also gave a strict order, that is, he Kong Youde either honestly captured Liuzhou, or he had to be killed under the city of Liuzhou, otherwise when Nikan's main force arrived, he would ask him if he was offended. In other words, he will either receive the merit with Nikan, or he will wait for himself to be punished.
