Ning Bao still has one thing to worry about, and he doesn't want to leave the Eastern Capital like this.

He had no intention of seeking revenge against King Wu, because he knew very well that this was a battle of life and death, and if he won, there was a chance that he would kill King Wu immediately, but unfortunately he lost, although he was not convinced, he never felt unfair, and when he accumulated enough strength, he would still fight with King Wu.

He also had no intention of rescuing the virtuous wife who was left in the city, not because he was ruthless and unjust, but because he knew that Niu Tiannu had a way to protect herself and her children, a woman who never needed him to worry about it.

He wants to recapture Empress Dowager Luan.

It's just that this reason can't convince the soldiers to turn back, and the 6,000 people he took away are mainly Jiangdong river workers, who want to return to their hometowns and go east, all of them are full of interest, and turn back to the west, all of them are embarrassed, not to mention just to compete for a woman?

Taking advantage of a pause to rest, Ning Baoguan gathered the generals on the side of the road and said to them: "King Ning asked us to attack Runan, but I don't understand, what is the use of attacking such a small city?" It is said that the guards there have thrown themselves into the Huaizhou officers and soldiers, and have received at least 30,000 supports, no matter how I think about it, I feel that more than 6,000 of us are going to die. ”

A general said: "Maybe King Wu just wants us to die, in fact, everyone has already seen that King Wu is dissatisfied with King Ning and those of us." ”

Another general said: "King Wu was brought out by the Seven Clans, and of course he is dissatisfied with us. ”

Ning Baoguan waited for these few words, and immediately said: "There is a lot of water in Jiangdong, and it is the river workers and boatmen who support the entire Wuzhou, but what have you gained?" When you are a lowly subordinate, the Seven Clans will not allow you to go ashore with heavy taxes, and when you apportion, they will be eager to empty your family funds and occupy your wives and daughters......"

Before the words were finished, the generals were already furious, and soon sighed again, they had been bullied for a long time, they didn't dare to shout revenge, if it weren't for the fact that the Seven Clans had already lost power, they didn't even dare to show their anger.

"The Kingdom of Wu perished, Tiancheng benefited you, forced you to leave your homeland, and you couldn't even return home after you died."

"That's why we have to follow King Ning and turn against him." There is humanity, they first threw themselves into King Ning by accident, and after following for a long time, they naturally gave birth to loyalty, and King Ning's courage and firmness are exactly the qualities they need.

"Since it's anti, then it's a bad one, and you can't let a new emperor sit on top of your head."

"Where to go, King Ning is in charge, we all listen to you."

"Jiangdong is definitely going to go, and it is also my hometown. But you can't go like this, you have to show your prestige, you want revenge, and you have to avenge the oppression of the Seven Clans and Tiancheng. ”

The generals looked at each other, not because they didn't want to take revenge, but they really didn't know how to take revenge, the troops were insufficient, the horses were few, and the grain and grass were only enough for ten days.

Ning Baoguan's eyes were like torches, and in his eyes, nothing was a problem.

"We people, if we can't attack the city, the eastern capital will definitely not be able to take it, although Runan is small, the defense must be strict, even if it is stormed, the damage will be great. If you want me to say, it is better to attack the battalion of officers and soldiers. ”

The congregation will continue to look at each other.

Ning Baoguan became more and more unswerving, and continued: "The officers and soldiers confronted King Wu, and the troops were divided into north and south, I didn't expect that we would turn back, and our army would bypass the rear, and if we were taken by surprise, we would definitely be able to win a big victory." ”

"The defeat of the officers and soldiers is also the ...... the king of Wu benefits," the general said to everyone.

Ning Baoguan sneered, "What's the harm in letting him pick a cheap one for nothing?" But I'm not fighting for him. He looked at the crowd, "There are 7,000 Wu soldiers in the officer and soldier camp, all of them are children of the Seven Clans, who were mistaken by the King of Wu and became prisoners. ”

There were not 7,000 captured Wu soldiers, and not all of them were children of the Seven Clans, but no one cared about this exaggeration, and the generals' eyes lit up and began to be interested in this idea.

"There are not too many people, the ones with horses will follow me, and the others will stay and camp and wait. Let's attack at night and burn down the company camp. The officers and soldiers must have panicked, thinking that it was a sneak attack in the city, and the troops would inevitably be transferred to the direction of the eastern capital, so we immediately retreated. Thinking that those Wu soldiers were just prisoners, the officers and soldiers would not try their best to put out the fire, and they would definitely die. As soon as Wu Bing died, you took revenge a little, and the officers and soldiers and King Wu had no money to negotiate, wouldn't it be good for their father and son to fight you to the death? ”

Ning Baoguan's firm gaze, coupled with his just right words, finally said that all the generals, especially those from Jiangdong, asked for battle.

Ning Baoguan sent soldiers, ordered Luo Hanqi to find a place to camp, ready to meet at any time, Ning Baoguan selected a thousand soldiers, only brought a small amount of grain and grass, and rode around the north.

The time of the sneak attack was originally scheduled for the early hours of the morning, and the officers and soldiers were in civil strife, so that Ning Baoguan saw the opportunity and decided to launch an attack in advance.

In the barracks, Lou Wen also thought about the Queen Mother, before, he had never had any interest in this woman, only as an inconspicuous ornament in the palace of the Emperor of All Things, and an orphan queen specially selected by the first emperor in order to balance the power of the ministers.

However, the rumors that have been raised have greatly increased his interest, and he wants to see what kind of appearance the Queen Mother has that can make a group of rebel leaders mad - rumors are always exaggerated than the truth, and this time, they are exaggerated many times, and even King Wu was made up to say that it was not his idea to send the Queen Mother, but was forced by the Golden Holy Maiden......

Lou Ji entered the city to negotiate, Lou Wen couldn't think of any reason for King Wu to refuse his kindness, several veterans went to the battalions to appease the Jizhou soldiers, Lou Wen also couldn't think of anyone who had the courage to oppose the general.

Everything is safe, tomorrow morning he will send troops to Yecheng, and tonight, he can celebrate a little.

"The Emperor of All Things died well." Lou Wen said secretly in his heart, and said to the seventh son Lou Shuo who followed: "Some things seem difficult, but they are easier to do. ”

"Anything that meets a general will be easy." Lou Shuo flattered and catered to it.

Lou Wen snorted, this son obviously didn't understand what he meant, he was talking about rebellion.

He couldn't help but wonder what he would be like now if he had listened to the persuasion of the seventeenth son? He shook his head, there was nothing wrong with refusing, the rebellion at that time was treachery and chaos in the world, but the current rebellion is in accordance with the will of heaven and set things right......

There was someone blocking the road in front, and the leader was Fei Xun.

Lou Wen didn't have Fei Xin in his eyes, so he waved his hand, and his children, grandchildren and guards rushed up and took Fei Yan away, and the rest of the people scattered in a hurry.

Fei Yu scolded loudly, didn't shout a few words, and was gagged with mud and snow.

Lou Wen didn't stop a step, walked to the queen mother's tent, and said to the palace maid who was trembling at the door: "Inform me, Lou Wen, the general of Tiancheng, is here to meet the queen mother." ”

The palace maid entered the tent, but a middle-aged female official came out, and said coldly: "The night is dark, the queen mother is resting, it is inconvenient to see guests, please come back tomorrow." ”

Tomorrow he will send troops to the north, until he captures Yecheng, Lou Wen is in the mood to do something else, tonight no matter what, he wants to achieve his wish, "It's just dark, the whole camp is not resting, the Queen Mother sleeps so early?" I don't believe it, let me go in and have a look. ”

"The Great General......

Lou Wen stepped forward, and his fat body squeezed the female officer away, like shaking off a grain of dust.

The female officer had to chase after her and be stopped.

The queen mother's tent was relatively wide, and there were two palace maids left by her side, Lou Wen didn't look at it, and said "go out", and the palace maids immediately ran away in a hurry.

It was not the first time that Empress Dowager Luan had experienced this kind of thing, and the panic in her heart had not diminished at all, but the expression on her face was a little calmer.

Lou Wen didn't even want the politeness on the surface, so he picked up the candlestick on the table, held it up in front of the Queen Mother, and frowned slightly, "It's a beauty, but it's not stunning, the traitor really hasn't seen the world." ”

"It is my sin to have a rough appearance and defile the eyes of a general." Empress Dowager Luan would rather admit that she was ugly.

Lou Wen smiled, turned around and put the candlestick back in its place, "I can understand, after all, it is the queen mother, how have those traitors ever seen it?" Naturally, I was lost in my soul. ”

"How can a reckless person compare to a general who has read countless people?"

"I do have a lot of 'reading people', when I destroyed the Five Kingdoms, I slept with the queen, I married the princess, but the queen mother has never touched it, and they are not as young as you."

Empress Dowager Luan smiled reluctantly, "The first emperor was as kind to the general as a mountain, he was the emperor of all things, and he was not thin on the general......"

"Hey, the first emperor doesn't need to say it, treat me like his own brother. The Emperor of All Things, he wanted me to die, but unfortunately he was the one who died. When the Emperor of All Things was alive, he liked to have fun among the people, and he snubbed the concubines in the palace all the year round, and you couldn't get pampered, which is a well-known thing. Although you are the queen and the queen mother, I am afraid that you have not enjoyed the benefits for a day, right? ”

"The daughter of an ordinary family has no regrets about being able to climb the dragon."

"Haha, a group of poor ghosts still have ambitions after the rebellion, not to mention that you have been in the palace for many years? Don't be afraid, don't worry, the name of the Queen Mother is noble after all, you are from me tonight, it won't be long before you are still the queen and the queen mother, this time it is true......"

"The general said that the emperor treated you like a brother, and this is how the general treated his brother's daughter-in-law?"

"I've enjoyed all my own daughters-in-law, let alone my brother's daughter-in-law? Don't argue with me, the Queen Mother, I have a bad temper, I only like to listen to good words and soft words in my life, and I will kill people when I am provoked. The Queen Mother is young - at least she looks young, and she has been in the dormitory alone for many years, and it is time to think about herself. The first emperor is unfortunate, the descendants left behind are not decent, the emperor of all things still has at least some courage, the king of Xiangdong and the king of Jibei are all incompetent, counting on them to rescue, it is better to serve me well, and wait for me to fight for you a world. ”

Empress Dowager Luan reluctantly squeezed out a smile again, "Lonely and weak woman, only the king is obedient." ”

Lou Wen Dayue, when he thought that the woman in front of him was the wife of the Emperor of All Things and the mother of the little emperor of Jiangdong, he was even more proud in his heart, and he somewhat realized the greed of the rebel leader.

Outside the tent, the female official's face was like ashes, regretting that she was out of the tent, and she could no longer get close to the general, let alone the queen mother.

The two had already made an agreement that if they were humiliated again, the female official would kill the queen mother, and then the female official committed suicide, but she couldn't even enter the tent.

There was silence in the tent, and a large group of men stood outside talking and laughing softly, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

A soldier came running on horseback and shouted from afar: "Quickly inform the general, the Jizhou soldiers are going to run, and someone has already left the camp......

"What's going on?" Lou Shuo had to ask for clarification before he dared to see the general.

The soldier stopped, panting and said: "General Xiao Sun killed Jizhou General Liwei, I don't know how to annoy the soldiers, they got on the horse and wanted to go back to their hometown......"

"Stupid." Lou Shuo scolded, and when he saw that everyone was hiding back, he had to come to the tent by himself and said loudly: "General, please come out, there is something important." ”

shouted three times in a row, there was still no response in the tent, Lou Shuo was a little surprised, turned his head and looked at the brothers and guards again, gave himself courage, lifted the curtain and entered the tent, "The Jizhou soldiers want to run, the general has to go to see ......"

Lou Wen was lying on his back on the ground, his neck was gushing blood, and Empress Dowager Luan was standing on the side, her clothes were untidy, holding a blood-stained dagger in her hand, and she was actually smiling on her face.

Lou Shuo's blood surged up, called "Mother", and sat on the ground.

On the other hand, the Jizhou soldiers escaped from the barracks, and Ning Baoguan took the opportunity to attack the camp in advance.

On the city wall, Xu Ji heard the news and also sent troops to fight.
