He leaned against the battlements and looked down into the city.

The people under the city, alone and on horseback, did not bring any weapons or bows, but they were undoubtedly Xu Huang.

"Gongming, don't persuade you to surrender. I am the chief of the county government appointed to guard the city, I have a heavy responsibility, I must defend the city, the city is in the people, if there is no county government document, I will never open the city, you don't have to persuade again! ”

Jia Kui looked at Xu Huang and shouted to him, and at the same time ordered the guards around him to put away their bows and arrows, so as not to accidentally hurt Xu Huang.

Jia Kui is not a person who does not know about military affairs, in the past few days, if Xu Huang wants to storm Jiangyi, only with the three hundred new soldiers temporarily gathered under his command, he will not be able to resist Xu Huang's army to attack the city.

However, Xu Huang did not attack and chose to burn the jade, but took advantage of the old friendship between the two of them who had served as county officials in the county government, and tried to persuade Jia Kui to surrender, let Hedong shed less blood, and retain one more loyal civil and military minister for Yan Xing.

Although Jia Kui did not accept Xu Huang's persuasion, the two also felt a sense of sympathy.

"Liang Dao, this time it was the county government that came to the court, and explicitly ordered Jiangyi to open the city, and the government was magnanimous and pardoned the crimes of the rest of the personnel, so you should open the city quickly!"

In the face of Xu Huang's persuasion this time, Jia Kui hesitated, and he saw that Xu Huang was indeed holding something similar to a letter in his hand.

Has Hedong changed the sky?

Jia Kui's hand holding the wall battlement clenched and relaxed, and finally he returned to calm in his heart, and shouted to Xu Huang outside the city:

"Gongming, before the situation is clear, I won't rush to open the city, but if you have the heart, you might as well come to the city to meet me!"

As he spoke, Jia Kui shook his hand and asked the guards beside him to bring a hanging basket, which was slowly placed at the base of the city wall along the city wall.

If Xu Huang is brave and sincere, he naturally dares to go to the hanging basket and climb to the top of the city.

Of course, falling into Xu Huang's eyes, it can also be understood that if the text in Xu Huang's hand is a forgery, of course he doesn't dare to put it in the hanging basket.

Xu Huang heard Jia Kui's answer after hesitating for a while, and then saw the slowly drooping hanging basket, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Jia Liang Dao, a true loyal and upright person!

Xu Huang immediately ordered the cavalry in the distance behind him not to step forward, and then he decisively dismounted, stood on the hanging basket without hesitation, and shouted to signal the guards at the head of the city to pull him up to the city.

The guards at the head of the city were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at Jia Kui, wanting to listen to his orders, and after seeing Jia Kui nodding in acquiescence, several guards worked together and slowly pulled Xu Huang up from under the city with a hanging basket.

The cavalry outside the city were dumbfounded, but Xu Huang had already given an order before, and they were not allowed to come close, although they were worried, they did not dare to stubbornly resist the military order, and rushed forward, they could only appease the war horse under their crotch, and they couldn't go, their eyes were round, and they stared closely at the hanging basket and slowly rose to the top of the city.

When the hanging basket was close to the head of the city, Xu Huang in the basket stretched out his hand and pressed the battlement of the city head, and with the force of his feet, his body went straight over the city head and landed firmly on the city wall.

The guards who were on guard on the side suddenly felt like a big enemy, and wanted to step forward to force the unarmed Xu Huang to stop, but Jia Kui ordered the other soldiers to retreat to the back, and he was going to go close to Xu Huang.

"County Jun, this person is a general in the enemy army, and he is athletic, if there is no guard, I am afraid that it is-"

Seeing that Jia Kui was going to step forward alone and go to see Xu Huang, the guards around him had seen Xu Huang's skills and were worried about the change, so they immediately dissuaded Jia Kui and said.

"He has come alone, and I, as the proprietor, dare not see him?"

Jia Kui immediately interrupted the guard's dissuasion, Xu Huang went to the city alone to persuade him to surrender, if he even had to bring many guards when he met, wouldn't he be laughing and generous.

"Gongming, where is the text?"

Jia Kui also walked in front of Xu Huang alone and asked.

Although Xu Huang was in danger, he did not panic, he calmly handed the text to Jia Kui, waited until Jia Kui unfolded it, and after looking at it for a while, he said leisurely:

"Liang Dao, you and I are originally from Hedong, and we are in the same county government, the situation is clear today, so you don't have to resist in the city anymore."

Jia Kui didn't answer immediately, he couldn't hold back the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, and after reading the text, he carefully looked at the official seal on the text, and after confirming that it was the official seal of Hedong Taishou, he finally changed color on his face slightly, and asked Xu Huang in a low voice:

"Prince?"

This letter of the Hedong County Government is to surrender the cities in Hedong that have not yet surrendered Kaicheng, and at a glance they know that they are from the camp of Yan Xing's side, and the official seal of Hedong Taishou is used at the end, which proves that Xu Huang did not deceive himself, and the Xiliang Army has indeed captured Anyi City, where the Hedong County Administration is located, in a short period of time, and the Taishou seal ribbon in the county government will fall into the hands of the Xiliang Army.

As the former Taishou Wang Yi, there are only two endings, either surrender or die in battle.

When Xu Huang heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he said softly:

"Wang Gong'an is good. This rebellion in Hedong was all caused by Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others, although the prince had no way to do it, but General Yan was a magnificent and generous person, and he pardoned many of the remaining people's crimes, and the prince had already moved to the palace. ”

Jia Kui heard that Wang Yi was safe and sound, and his heart settled down a little, no matter what, Wang Yi was once his lord, if it wasn't for Wang Yi's promotion, how could he jump from a county official to a county magistrate who tried to defend a county.

It is precisely because of this that Jia Kui, who was thinking of the grace of Wang Yi in his heart, knew that he could not resist Xu Huang leading the army to attack the city with the land of Jiangyi, but he still defended the city and chose to live up to Wang Yi and live and die with Jiangyi.

Subsequently, he also thought about why Yan Xing's side only blamed Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others, and pardoned Wang Yi's personal intentions.

Wang Yi lost the title of Hedong Taishou and went to politics, while Yan Xing, as the Taishou of Hedong, as long as he placed his henchmen in key positions in the county government, he would soon be able to eliminate the influence of Wang Yi, so that Wang Yi no longer had a foundation in the county government and Hedong.

In this case, Yan Xing was also happy to be generous and pardoned Wang Yi, on the one hand, it was not only to show his grandeur and grace, but on the other hand, it was to use the little prestige left by Wang Yi as a cover and example to recruit cities such as Jiangyi that had not yet surrendered.

And like Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others, they are all big surnames in Hedong, not only have grain, there are granges, but also tribes, armor soldiers, there are many people, and they have a bad relationship with Yan Xing, this time they gathered troops to resist Yan Xing's Xiliang soldiers entered Hedong, Yan Xing just took this opportunity to wipe them out, with the purpose of eliminating evil, naturally he would not easily pardon any of them.

Thinking about this, Jia Kui also has a little understanding of his own situation. He looked at Xu Huang, who came alone to persuade him to surrender, and thought that the other party had besieged Hedong without attacking it in the past few days, and his face was suddenly solemn, and he shook it to the end.

"Liang Dao, what are you doing?"

Xu Huang saw that Jia Kui didn't answer, he thought that Jia Kui was swaying left and right in his heart, but as soon as Jia Kui reacted, he threw himself to the ground, he subconsciously went over to help Jia Kui, but thought that he was at the head of the city at the moment, and there were other guards not far away who were on guard, so he rushed forward, in case he was mistaken for holding Jia Kui hostage, which caused a struggle, but it was a big deal.

Therefore, Xu Huang did not step forward to help Jia Kui, but just turned sideways to avoid Jia Kui's etiquette and asked in surprise.

"This worship is to replace the people of Jiangyi, and thank Xu Jun for his great grace of only besieging and not attacking!"

Jia Kui was solemn and did not stop bowing down because of Xu Huang's surprise. After Xu Huang listened to his explanation, his face moved slightly, but Jia Kui was about to bow a second time, and continued in his mouth:

"This worship is Kui's own gratitude to Xu Jun for not killing!"

Jia Kui was talking, and his body was about to move forward, but at this time, Xu Huang had already taken the lead and helped Jia Kui, he smiled, and said:

"This worship, thank you, you wait until Anyi, and then go to thank General Yan, if it weren't for the secret order of the general, you must keep Liang Dao's life, and the military order is in your body, but you don't dare to show favoritism because of friendship!"

Xu Huang's words made Jia Kui's heart move, he also felt strange before, although Xu Huang and himself had a sense of sympathy, but Xu Huang is the person who commands the army, the military order is in his body, he can't help himself, especially able to favor himself, now hearing that Xu Huang is under Yan Xing's secret order, he suddenly realized in his heart, but he also felt surprised, he opened his mouth slightly, stopped the guard, and asked:

"General Yan?"

Xu Huang smiled, nodded, and said:

"It is the general's order, the general asked me to tell you that his ambition is not limited to the corner of Hedong, and you are not a talent in a county.

Qi Huan Gong Xiaobai, when he and Gongzi fought to rush back to Qi to inherit the throne, Guan Zhong, who was under Gongzi Jiao, led people to intercept and assassinate Xiaobai halfway, and the arrows were shot at Xiaobai's clothes with hooks, if it wasn't for Xiaobai's death, he would almost die in Guan Zhong's hands.

But Xiaobai escaped death, and after rushing back to the Qi State to take the throne, when he killed Gongzi and his henchmen, because Bao Shuya recommended Guan Zhong to Xiaobai as a talent who governs the country and determines hegemony, Xiaobai immediately pardoned Guan Zhong, and later appointed Guan Zhong as the prime minister to help him govern the Qi State.

Yan Xing asked Xu Huang to say these words to Jia Kui, just to make Jia Kui feel at ease, he is also a person with the same long-term vision and lofty ambitions as Qi Huangong, even if Jia Kui had schemingly seized the power of the city in Jiangyi before, and then guarded Jiangyi to resist Xu Huang's army going south to join him in Anyi, but Yan Xing would still ignore his past suspicions and pardon Jia Kui, because he knew that Jia Kui was not a talent in the county.

Death for a confidant.

Although Jia Kui was also born in a family with a surname in Hedong, he was a son of a side branch, and when he was young, he was already in the middle of the family, although he was diligent in studying scriptures and sharpening his reputation, but because of his family business, he could only go to the county as a small official, and if it wasn't for Wang Yi's promotion, even if he was talented, it would be difficult to be a big official, let alone the head of a county.

Therefore, Jia Kui was very grateful to Wang Yi for his promotion.

But now, Yan Xing treats him more than Wang Yi, Yan Xing not only pardons Jia Kui, but also knows that he is not a county talent.

Jia Kui, who has always considered himself hard, couldn't help but throb, he was a little emotional, a little choked, looked at Xu Huang and said slowly:

"Xu Jun, today's Jiangyi is down!"

···

Chang'an, Li Dao's house.

Li Dao is now a general of the chariot and cavalry, and the commander of the generals, can be described as a high power, the power of the court, his mansion is naturally a vast area, located in the prominent area of Chang'an City, the decoration of the mansion should also refer to the style of Dong Zhuo's Taishi Mansion when he was alive, magnificent, extremely luxurious.

But sitting in such a grand hall, Li Dao was irritable in his heart, frowning, and had the worries of being a chariot general.

At present, although he is a general of the chariot and cavalry, and he is the leader of the generals, but in the Xiliang Army, he is only above Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others.

This is also the reason why Li Dao is irritable.

Although the edict has been issued, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others are greedy for the power and prosperity in Chang'an City, and they are unwilling to lead the army to leave the town immediately, and they will find all kinds of excuses to delay the envoys of the imperial court.

"General, in Confucianism's opinion, there is no need to worry about this matter at all?"

Li Wei has a stingy temperament, and now he is willing to sit on an equal footing with Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others, so he doesn't like it. Li Ru saw the long term better than Li Dao, he smiled in his seat and said leisurely.

"But why?"

Li Dao glanced at Li Ru, although Li Ru pretended to be profound, but Li Dao had to admit that Li Ru's resourcefulness was indeed outstanding, and he was able to occupy a high position today and surpass the generals in the army, which was inseparable from the strategies that Li Ru had planned for him before.

Therefore, Li Ru's opinion, although Li Dao is already in a high position, he knows that he is insufficient, but he is still willing to listen.

And this is also the reason why Li Ru is willing to rely on Li Dao and plan for Li Dao.

"Now there is Ma Teng in Yixian County, and Ganling in Linjin, these are the henchmen of General Fan and General Guo, they are just nostalgic for the prosperity of Chang'an, once they react, they remember that there are still others peeping at their own important places, I am afraid that they don't need to be persuaded by the general, they themselves have to hurry up and lead the army back to their garrison."

"You have a generous heart for this plan."

Li Dao originally thought that Li Ru was going to plan for him, but now that he heard Li Ru's words, he actually persuaded himself not to worry, he sneered, drank all the wine in the wine bottle, and dealt with it casually.

Li Ru knew Li Dao's temperament, and he didn't care, he smiled, and then continued:

"Actually, what Confucianism wants to say is that what the general is worried about should not be General Guo and General Fan, who are still stranded in Chang'an City, but those who hurriedly led the army away and did not cherish the power and prosperity of Chang'an City at all."

Speaking of this, Li Ru slowed down again, and then said leisurely:

"Those who don't care about immediate benefits are the ones who have lofty aspirations!"

Li Dao originally just listened, but when Li Ru said this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and after recalling the deep meaning of Li Ru's words, he suddenly asked sharply:

"What you are talking about, who is planning, Zhang Ji, Duan Xuan, or Yan Yanming?"
