(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) ）

Ning Baoguan invited Xu Ji aside, "It's your idea to attack the east, but it's up to me to make the decision, so all the responsibility lies with me." ”

Xu Ji arched his hand, "King Ning is generous, but this is not the time to divide responsibilities......

Ning Baoguan asked Xu Ji to take a few steps again, "I'm not dividing the responsibility, I just want to tell you that although you are the king of Wu, since you agree with me to be the coach, you have to listen to me." ”

"Of course, if it weren't for King Ning's order, I would never have divided my troops here without permission."

Ning Baoguan nodded with satisfaction, although he was born poor, but he was arrogant since he was a child, he played with other children, he must be the leader, and he was ashamed of his life, that is, he lived under the people, although he was the king of the world, he had to stand on his own feet when he had a chance, even if it was a very small opportunity.

For him, oppression is neither a goal nor a choice, but the blood flowing in his body, just like some people are irritable, some are easy-going, some are silent, and some people love to talk and laugh...... Ning Baoguan's temper was like this, he couldn't even notice it himself.

Others can detect that Xue Liujia is extremely disgusted with him, Ma Wei is restless when he sees him, and Xu Ji can't help but be careful everywhere, and he is afraid that there will be a little mistake.

"The general led his troops back to Beijing to rescue, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive after nightfall, originally we were going to flank the officers and soldiers, but now it has become a flank by the officers and soldiers, if the eastern capital does not surrender as soon as possible, you and I and the soldiers will definitely die."

"The eastern capital has already surrendered, wait a while......"

Ning Baoguan turned his head to look at the west-leaning sun and shook his head, "Waiting is not a solution, the longer we wait, the more people in the city will see our weakness." ”

"What is King Ning's plan?"

"I'm going to send you and that cowardly fellow into the city to persuade the people of Dongdu to surrender quickly."

Xu Ji had already guessed Ning Baoguan's thoughts, and arched his hand and said: "I can go, but there is something to say: King Ning knows my identity, and the people of the Eastern Capital are even clearer, and I go to persuade them to surrender, which may make them make up their minds, or it may backfire." ”

"We are the 'traitors' of the world, and you are the 'traitors' of the Eastern Capital." Ning Baoguan actually smiled, "Let the people of Dongdu see, the 'traitors' are better, not worse, if they hate you to the bone, needless to say, you die in the city, I die outside the city, it's just a morning and a night, if they are calmer and can listen to you, we will have a chance to enter the city in advance." ”

Ning Baoguan turned his head and glanced into the distance, he is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, although he is also panicked in case of trouble, he can always adjust quickly, "I can pretend to accept Zhao'an, I will never surrender before the battle, when the officers and soldiers arrive, I will fight to the death." ”

"Please send someone to the city to call for a message."

"Okay." Ning Baoguan also bowed his hand, "I think when we first met by the river, I offended my brothers and I, looking at King Wu Haihan, I didn't know that King Wu was also a hero." ”

Xu Ji returned the salute, looked at the city, and didn't say anything.

"How many people does King Wu want to bring?"

"No need, me and Zhou Lu are enough."

Ning Baoguan went to call his subordinates to shout to the city, and Xu Ji summoned Tang Weitian to come over, "I will enter the city to negotiate with the imperial court later." ”

"Okay, I'm ready, I'm ready to go."

"You don't have to go in with me."

"How?" Tang Weitian tilted his neck and widened his eyes, "I can't leave the Metropolitan Governor for a single step, the people in the city are insidious, what if I want to assassinate the Metropolitan Governor?" ”

Xu Ji smiled: "I am a person from the Eastern Capital, I know a lot of people, who dares to harm me?" And-" Xu Ji lowered his voice, "I have another purpose in keeping you outside, if I don't come out before dark, and there is no news, or my head is thrown out, you immediately go to Wang Dian, roughly in the Supreme Garden in the east, you have to find the specific location." ”

"I'm looking for it, but the head of the Metropolitan Governor ......"

"Don't worry about it, your legs and feet are fast, after finding Wang Dian, tell him that it was my order, let him lead his troops back to Runan City, join General Bao, go to Yecheng together, surrender to the king of Jibei or the king of Xiangdong, don't go back to Jiangdong, remember?"

Tang Weitian listened attentively, but there was no response, and Xu Ji reminded: "I asked you if you remember?" ”

"Oh, remember, go back to Runan, find Bao Dun, and go to surrender to the two kings of Yecheng together, don't go back to Jiangdong."

"Leave others alone, leave when it's time to go, don't hesitate."

"But I still want to stay with the Grand Duke." Tang Weitian is young after all, and he has a childish side.

Xu Ji smiled: "The fortune teller said that I have a big fate, and I will find you in the future." ”

"But you said your head would be thrown out......"

"I scare you, I shouldn't ......"

Ning Baoguan came over, Tang Weitian was also a little afraid of him, and immediately retreated.

"It's done, I'll take the people back to the camp, and you and that guy can go into the city."

Zhou Lu was escorted over, thinking that he was going to be beheaded in front of the city gate, so he was so frightened that his whole body weakened, he walked staggeringly, and the last few dozen steps were dragged by the guards.

Xu Ji said: "Zhou Lu, you follow me into the city to persuade you to surrender." ”

Hearing that it was not a beheading, Zhou Lu's legs were able to stand firm again, and he shouted: "Enter the city!" Let's go into town! Surrender! Persuade them to surrender! ”

The guards looked disdainful and pushed him in front of King Wu.

Ning Baoguan said: "You still have about an hour." With that, he turned and left, leading the soldiers to retreat to the camp that had just been built.

Tang Weitian was the last to go, and he wanted to speak several times, but when the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, got up and left.

The rebels retreated, Xu Ji walked forward, Zhou Lu followed closely, and slowly gained some strength again, "King Wu, what do you say after entering the city?" ”

"It depends on who you say, and then you decide how you say it."

"King Wu Gao saw. What about me? What do I need to do? ”

"You don't have to do anything, just follow me, your face is a weapon to persuade you to surrender."

Zhou Lu didn't understand the meaning of the words, and raised his hand to touch his face, "That's right, I know a lot of people in the Eastern Capital, and for my sake, they will also surrender." ”

When he was about to get to the city gate, Xu Ji saw the bloodstains left by Lu Kuan's fall to the ground, and the body had been removed, and sighed lightly, and couldn't help but think, is there really such a thing as Kefu in the world?

Zhou Lu said with a smile: "King Wu's entry into the city is amazing......

Xu Ji raised his hand and forbade Zhou Lu to speak.

The small door in the city gate opened a crack, and someone poked his head out to make sure that there were only two people outside, and then opened it a little wider.

Xu Ji entered the door, looked up and saw the receptionist, and his heart was slightly wider.

There are people who can be persuaded first, and then there are words that can be persuaded, if the person who greets the envoy of the righteous army is still Fei Xun, Xu Ji will take this life to rest, and now the person standing opposite is not Fei Xun, but Lou Hard.

Lou Hard seems to be a little fatter than before, and he can finally be on par with his father, with a very strange expression on his face, as if he wants to laugh or cry, and looks more like a brother than Zhou Lu.

"Is it only Lou Zhongjun?" Xu Ji stepped forward and asked.

Lou Qiang became more and more embarrassed, "There are other people, that one...... King Wu, please come with me. ”

There were only a dozen people under the city gate, and from them, Xu Ji could see a strong fear.

The place of negotiation was near the city gate, which was originally the seat of the city gate keeper, slightly decorated, with a long table and several chairs on each side.

Xu Ji sat alone, Zhou Lu didn't dare to sit, standing behind him, confused about his identity, and more and more lost his soul.

There are four officials in total, except for Lou Qiang, the others Xu Ji are also familiar, and they remember that they should be important ministers in the court.

The four sat down, but the chair in the middle was empty.

Xu Ji got up, "It turns out that you asked me to enter the city for fun, I don't want to talk about it, so I leave." ”

Lou Hard and the others were taken aback, they were too anxious when they got up, they overturned the chair, and Lou Hard trotted over around the table, "What does King Wu mean by this?" We don't mean to have fun. ”

Xu Ji stopped, "In that case, why don't you see Lan Sui and Mrs. Liang?" Can you call the shots for the Emperor? ”

Lou grabbed one of Xu Ji's arms and said eagerly: "It's because we don't have a backbone that we haven't opened the door to surrender to the rebels." The Liang family quietly went out of the city with His Majesty yesterday morning, and we only got the news today, and now only the Queen Mother is still in the palace, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor have run away. ”

"What about the Lan family?"

"Lan Yong came back last night and said that the army had been defeated, and the court was in chaos when he heard the news, so he took advantage of the chaos to run home and left with his father and family."

"The two kings of Jibei and Xiangdong?"

"I went earlier, saying that I was going to move the rescue soldiers, but there has been no news, and now that I think about it, they are fleeing with the Queen Mother."

"Why didn't Lou Zhongjun leave?"

"I ...... I...... The general is still outside, and I can't leave. ”

Xu Ji didn't believe this reason, Lou Jian had to say: "There are many things at home, and there are many wives and concubines, I didn't expect the righteous army to come so quickly......"

This reason is credible, and Xu Ji said again: "Why didn't Fei Yu Fei Shilang come?" ”

"He is crazy, there is not even a decent army in the eastern capital, but he has to hold on, saying that the righteous army is the people, and will not fight, there are still many people in the eastern capital, and there are people against the people, and there are high cities and thick walls, there is no reason to be defeated...... We could not listen, and when we saw that he had killed the messenger of the rebels, and wanted to coerce the whole city to die with him, we locked him up. The rebels want revenge, and looking for him is really irrelevant to us. ”

Xu Ji was secretly shocked in his heart, if the ministers of the DPRK and China listened to Fei Xun's words, the eastern capital would really be unbreakable.

The eastern capital was destroyed by the Lan and Liang families, and the people in power ran cleanly, and the rest of the people naturally refused to fight.

"This is not here, that is not there, who has the highest official position in the Eastern Capital now?"

"Nope." Lou Hard and the others shook their heads again and again, and an official said: "Lou Zhongjun has an old relationship with King Wu, so we push him ......"

Lou said angrily: "Master Qi, don't talk nonsense, you pushed it, I didn't agree." ”

No wonder the chair in the middle is empty.

Xu Ji said: "Since you agree to surrender, it will be much easier to do, the righteous army is in the sky to crusade without a way, and you don't want to see the lives ruined, you put forward conditions, you can accept it, and the righteous army will accept it." ”

The four of them rushed to put forward the conditions, which were almost the same as before, all about how to protect their own property and status, and there was not a word of mention to the people.

Xu Ji was suspicious in his heart, since Fei Xin had been imprisoned, Lou Qiang and the others should have opened the door and surrendered a long time ago, why did they hesitate until now?

The two officials spread out the paper, and as long as Xu Ji nodded, they wrote down the conditions.

While the negotiations were in progress, the door of the hall was suddenly opened, and several people broke in, and one of them shouted: "Whoever dares to surrender, I will be the first to ...... How are you? ”

The person who came was surprised, and Xu Ji was also surprised, and arched his hand and said, "Tian Zhuangshi, don't come unharmed." ”
