"How should this be, sir." Lu Cheng asked with a flustered expression, Zhu Qi was full of sadness, his eyebrows wrinkled into a lump of flesh, and after a long time, he said: "Order someone to contact the other party's generals, saying that we are willing to surrender, our attitude must be sincere and our words must be cautious, we are not a fraudulent surrender, I don't have such a literary talent, so let's ask Lord Lu to draft a document." ”

"The king is absolutely impossible, the Lu of the Eater, the Loyal Monarch" Lu Cheng was interrupted by Zhu Qipai before he finished speaking: "If you don't agree, then ask Lord Lu to lead troops to resist." ”

When Lu Cheng heard this, the words were completely speechless, where would he lead the troops to fight, Zhu Qi sighed and said: "Lord Lu, I didn't mean to choke you with that words, but now that the general trend has gone, the opponent's military strength is far superior to ours, if we don't surrender, we can certainly keep our wisdom, but the head will not be guaranteed, not to mention that our Jiangxi children in the city will also accompany us to die thousands of people, we are willing to give up our reputation but save many hometown fathers and elders, so that they are not poisoned, this is a great merit." ”

Lu Cheng nodded, he had to agree, not to mention that no one is afraid of death, this may be the best ending, I hope Zhu Jianwen can make great contributions, and when the time comes, he will keep Zhu Qi's good reputation of pretending to surrender with a curve to save the country, and he can live with himself, if he resists now, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on to that time and his head will fall to the ground.

Under the leadership of Lu Cheng, the defenders of Jiujiang City threw away their weapons and surrendered, Zhu Qipai and Lu Cheng were escorted to Zhen Lingdan with a smile, Zhen Lingdan smiled and loosened the ties for Zhu Qipai and Lu Cheng, and then hugged his fists and said: "Your Royal Highness, I didn't expect us to meet again, and I really feel a lot of emotion when I think of the time when we served together under the adult's door before." ”

Zhu Qipai smiled coldly and hugged his fists, but did not answer, Zhen Lingdan looked at Lu Cheng, and then said to Zhu Qipai: "In this way, you write a letter to your son Zhu Jianwen, and say that he will submit to me, or leave the soldiers to me, and I will let you live." ”

Zhu Qijiao shook his head and said: "You don't know what you have seen and heard, as the saying goes, you will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, not to mention the father's order, we cooperated with Yu Qian before, you also know this, in short, it is good to be excluded, it is good to be able to save your life, this time there is such a big opportunity for meritorious service, it is a godsend opportunity to turn over, my son will never let go of what he has seen and heard, not to mention that my life is in your hands, even if our whole family is held by you with a knife to the neck, he will not give up the hard-won power in his hands." ”

Zhen Lingdan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, indeed, Zhu Jianwen did such a thing, so he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take Zhu Qijian away, after Zhu Qijian left, Lu Cheng's face turned pale, looked at Zhen Lingdan who was smiling, choked his throat and said: "You let go of the official, I am willing to persuade Zhu Jianwen to surrender." ”

Zhen Lingdan nodded, patted Lu Cheng's shoulder and said, "Lord Lu, I really need your help, and I also need to borrow something from you to persuade Zhu Jianwen." ”

Lu Chengyi clenched his fists and said: "Thanks to the general, you can say it, as long as Lu can do it, I will not be ambiguous." Zhen Lingdan said lightly: "I need Lord Lu's head to be used." Saying that, he waved his hand, dragged Lu Cheng away left and right, Lu Cheng screamed non-stop, and after a while, he heard a heart-rending shout, but it stopped after a while,

The sergeant held a wooden box and sent it into the account, Zhen Lingdan said: "Give the head to Zhu Jianwen and give him a message, just say that he has two choices, one is to surrender to me, and the other is to leave the soldiers, horses, money and food to me, he will withdraw from the two lakes alone, if he doesn't obey, the next head will be his family's." ”

In the evening of the next day, Zhu Jianwen received Lu Cheng's head, and heard the message from Zhen Lingdan's subordinate messenger, he frowned and was worried, sure enough, Jiujiang was lost,

Bai Yong opened his mouth and said: "What should I do now, we must not agree to his request, but the life of the king of Tong cannot be saved, you see this is good, I will lead a team of strong soldiers to raid Jiujiang and rescue His Royal Highness the king overnight." ”

"Thank you, brother, but I think Zhen Lingdan must be strict, it won't be so easy, although you have a superb way to control qi, and your strong soldiers are gathered, but it is not so easy to calmly enter Jiujiang Mansion." Zhu Jianwen said gratefully, Bai Yong's personality is relatively upright, what he just said is from the bottom of his heart, how can he not be moved by being willing to take the risk to save Zhu Qipai,

Bai Yong calmed down the anger in his heart, pondered a little and said: "You are right, I was too reckless just now, although Jiujiang Mansion is well defended, it is not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as Yueyang or Jingzhou, I think they are likely to carry the king of Tong to these two places, but Jiujiang will also deploy troops to confuse our sight, so that we don't know where the king is, I have already contacted the spies to check, but now that the two armies are fighting, it is difficult to transmit information, we can't hang ourselves on a tree, in this way, I will lead the troops to take Jingzhou directly, and you will attack Yueyang directly." If the king is in the city, they will definitely threaten him, if not, we will gather Jiujiang, and then my lord should also come, let's listen to the order. ”

In fact, there are a lot of personnel in the army, and there were originally more than a dozen in the army of Zhen Lingdan, who served in different positions, but after Zhen Lingdan collected the troops, he quickly grasped the power of the army, removed the commander of the captured soldiers and horses, and let others serve as them. It's not like a house slave garden worker can use Gu worms to communicate with Lu Yunzhi, so everything depends on the legend of flying pigeons or fast horses, so this line is really not used for a while, even if it can be used, it needs to be reversed at a critical moment, and now I am afraid that I will be exposed early and move the whole body, and Bai Yong does not have the power to use the power of the Thirteen Mi,

Zhu Jianwen heard Bai Yong finish speaking, he was silent for a while, and then coughed lightly and said: "You just arrived, I don't know the situation, my soldiers are scattered in various cities in the territory of the two lakes, defending and governing the city, and now there are less than 3,000 soldiers in my hands, I'm afraid."

"This is what my lord has long expected, so I will give you a message for the lord, saying that you must not be greedy for merit and venture into the extended front, we are now in a quagmire, you are in Zhen Lingdan's plan, but I think we don't necessarily want to attack the city, just determine the location of the king, and then we will surround them everywhere, and when the lord comes, we can implement the plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements, they are scarce, and they will come to the rescue desperately, and then the big thing will be done." Bai Yong sneered and said,
