Father, that Song Jinghao's mouth is very stubborn, he just refuses to let go, it is better to forget the result......"

"Bastard, Song Jinghao can't have any accidents, since he refuses to help me go to the official family, then use him to force Song Lian to compromise, okay, don't care about him for the time being, let's force Wei Wenran, the old fox, out first."

Outside the tower, after listening to the results of Shangguan Yun's persuasion of Song Jinghao, Shangguan Fei stopped indifferently and focused on the tower where Wei Wenran was hidden.

……

"Bang ......"

"Hey, it's time to eat, it's time to eat~"

"Bacon and white flour multigrain cakes, eat them with an open belly......"

Inside the tower, hearing the deliberate banging of the mallets and the tempting aroma from outside the tower, the defenders inside also felt hungry, and the sound of swallowing saliva continued to rise and fall in the tower, after all, they had not eaten anything since last night.

"Damn, these traitors!" Wei Jing scolded fiercely, "They eat all the stored grain in the Guannei!" ”

At that moment, the shouts of a tin megaphone were heard outside the tower.

"Come, come, give some food to those brothers who have surrendered at Linyuan Pass, now that the battle is over, everyone is their own brothers, divide the meat and bread among them, and have not eaten all night, don't starve them."

The roar outside the tower immediately alarmed the defenders in the tower, and they all looked out of the narrow stone window, and sure enough, those captured companions were under the distribution of the gangster, nibbling on cakes and drinking hot broth, which was a burst of gobbling.

This scene made the hearts of these hungry defenders even more tormented, and they wanted to open the door and surrender immediately.

As soon as Wei Yuan saw that the situation of the soldiers in the tower was not right, he immediately said: "That is the enemy's plan to attack the heart, you must not fall for it, once you go out, you will die and have no place to be buried!" ”

"But how well did those brothers who surrendered eat like death?"

A defender soldier couldn't help but mutter, which immediately attracted the approval of everyone around him, making Wei Yuan not know what to do for a while.

"Wei Jing, Wei Yuan......" At this moment, Wei Wenran called the two of them lightly, "How much food is still in the tower, and it will be distributed to the soldiers......

Wei Jing's face was bitter, and he came to Wei Wenran's side and said, "Lord Governor, I have already looked for it, and there is not a grain of grain in the tower now......"

When Wei Wenran heard this, he groaned, "How can this be? Why don't you prepare food at the tower? ”

Wei Jing replied: "Lord Governor, none of us would have expected things to develop to such a point, firstly, I didn't expect the outer city to be attacked by the rebel army so quickly, and secondly, I didn't want the retreat to be destroyed by someone, so ......" Speaking of this, Wei Jing no longer spoke.

"Alas......" Wei Wenran sighed bitterly, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect it to fall to this point, I thought that the more than 20,000 Liuzhou dead soldiers would be able to hold on for a while, and I didn't want to be wiped out by them so soon (nearly 10,000 captured), it's really useless, what should I do now......

Wei Jing and Wei Yuan were silent when they heard this, they didn't expect that those Liuzhou dead soldiers who had been trained for many years would be so vulnerable, but instead let the Shangguan family seize the handle in vain.

But now is not the time to think about this, after all, the biggest problem in front of him is the lack of food and water, and the morale of the defenders in the tower is basically on the verge of collapse, and there is a possibility of mutiny at any time.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Just when Wei Wenran and the others were at a loss, there was a knock on the door from the tower on the first floor.

"Huh? Preparing for battle...... Wei Jing was startled, drew his sword on the spot, and began to order the defenders to meet the enemy.

"Is Governor Wei here? In Xiashangguan Qiong, on the order of Marshal Shangguan, come to discuss important matters with Governor Wei, and please open the door to let Zai Xia go in for a while, rest assured, only the next person will come to ......"

When Wei Wenran heard this, he immediately said to Wei Yuan: "Quickly open the tower door and let Shangguan Qiong in." ”

Wei Yuan hurriedly said: "Lord Governor, I'm afraid that this Shangguan Qiong is here to be a lobbyist for the rebel head......"

Wei Wenran laughed miserably and said: "Now we are all the meat of other people's chopping boards, do we have to choose by ourselves?" Go open the door and listen to what Shangguan Qiong has to say before making a decision......"

Wei Yuan sighed, and then ordered someone to go down the tower to welcome Shangguan Qiong in.

"Subordinates meet the Governor......"

As soon as Shangguan Qiong saw Wei Wenran, he respectfully saluted him, and his posture was abnormally standard, which gave Wei Wenran enough face.

Wei Wenran looked at Shangguan Qiong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said weakly: "Shangguan Qiong, let's explain my intentions directly, how does Shangguan Fei plan to treat me?" ”

Shangguan Qiong straightened up when he heard this, and said to Wei Wenran: "Back to the words of the Governor, the marshal of my family said that he only needs the position of the Governor, and he has never thought of taking the life of the Governor.

As long as the Governor is willing to cooperate with the Governor Shangguan, and then resign as a Governor, and then make a recommendation to the Imperial Court that the Marshal Shangguan is the Governor of Dingzhou, his subordinates will guarantee the lives of the Governor and the whole family with their lives.

Moreover, I will ensure that the Governor of Wei's family will be prosperous and wealthy, and will not be able to enjoy it for several lifetimes, and I will ask the Governor to make a decision as soon as possible, and the marshal has prepared delicious food and wine outside the tower, and personally wait for the Governor to drink and talk ......happily together."

"Full of nonsense!" When Wei Yuan heard this, he scolded angrily, "What kind of thing are you from the Shangguan family, you are just a traitor, and you are worthy of competing with Lord Wei for the position of governor!" ”

Shangguan Qiong glanced at Wei Yuan, and then said: "General Wei's words are wrong, now the entire Linyuan Pass is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops from my Shangguan family, and the Governor's Mansion is gone, so why bother struggling here?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Wei Wenran again, and said again: "Please also ask the Governor to make a quick decision, my marshal really doesn't want to meet with the Governor again......"

"Bold ......"

"Enough!"

Wei Yuan was about to scold again, but was stopped by Wei Wenran.

I saw him get up and paced back and forth for a while, and suddenly looked back at Shangguan Qiong, and asked in a tone full of longing: "Shangguan Fei really won't want my life and my family's life, and is he willing to protect my Wei family's glory?" ”

Shangguan Qiong said indignantly: "When my subordinates came, the marshal of my family personally promised me that if he dared to break his credit, his subordinates would protect the safety of the entire governor with death!" ”

"Well...... Wei Wenran nodded, then stepped forward to help Shangguan Qiong, personally patted the dust on his knees for him, and said with a slightly excited expression, "You go back and tell Marshal Shangguan that I am willing to agree to his conditions......"

"Your Excellency! No! Wei Jing hurriedly said, "That must be the conspiracy of Shangguan's dog thieves, if you go out, you will be at his mercy......"

Wei Yuan also said with tears in his eyes: "Shangguan Fei's father and son did not hesitate to make a big move for the position of governor, how could he be so kind to let go of you, Lord Governor, please think twice!" ”

"That's enough...... Wei Wenran hurriedly stopped Wei Yuan's persuasion, and said firmly, "What do you think is the way to survive if you stay here any longer?" I have already decided, instead of sitting still, it is better to take the initiative to surrender, willing to step down from all positions, and be a rich man in the future, I think that he will not be embarrassed by me if he goes to Guanfei! ”

After finishing speaking, ignoring the cries of Wei Yuan and Wei Jing, he turned around and took the governor's seal from the chair, and said to Shangguan Qiong: "Let's go, lead the way ahead." ”

"Alas!"

Wei Yuan and Wei Jing glanced at each other, and they both saw their disappointment in Wei Wenran from their respective eyes.
