When he saw Qian Biao for the first time, Pi Guangye couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Qian Biao, the king of Yue. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although he had never seen Qian Biao before, he had followed Yang Wu and met Yang Xingmi a few times.

In his heart, Yang Xingmi always has an inexplicable majestic bearing, full of confidence and pride in his actions, which makes people feel broken at first sight and is willing to serve him.

And although Qian Biao had never seen it before, he felt that as a hero who had also opened up a career, he should at least be as majestic and proud as Yang Xingmi.

But at this time, Qian Biao, the king of Yue in front of him, although he seemed very calm and confident on the surface, Pi Guangye saw deep tiredness and decadence in his expression.

It seems that the former lord of the two Zhejiang provinces has lost his former enterprising spirit in repeated defeats, and this discovery makes him feel very happy.

"You are the messenger sent by Yang Wu? Now that you and I are at war, and Gu's envoy, General Gu Quanwu, is still being detained in Guangling, aren't you afraid that Gu will also detain you? Seeing Pi Guangye, Qian Biao shouted in a deep voice.

He always felt that if Gu Quanwu was still by his side to give advice, maybe he would have conquered Huzhou by now; At the end of the day, there will be no Annihilation and embarrassment of the entire army of the First Battle of Deqing. So until now, he is still angry and regretful about Gu Quanwu's detention, maybe he shouldn't have sent Gu Quanwu to Guangling as an envoy in the first place.

"The king laughed, General Gu was not detained in Guangling, his original mission in Guangling was to send Ling Gongzi and my king's daughter to marry, the marriage between the two was not completed, how could General Gu return to Hangzhou regardless of his mission? Besides, Zai Xia is just a nobody, and even if the king detains him, it is useless. Pi Guangye said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Qian Biao stared at him tightly for a while, and then said, "That's it, since you said that General Gu stayed in Guangling to complete his mission, how has his mission been completed now?" ”

"Congratulations to the king, a few days ago, Ling Gongzi and the daughter of the king of my family have completed their marriage, and now Ling Gongzi is already my Huainan concubine."

"You mean, Chuan Hui has married the daughter of King Wu in Guangling?" Qian Biao was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

He also thought that after the two families re-joined the army, even if his son was not treated harshly in Guangling, at least the marriage that was set before would definitely be no fun.

He didn't have to let his son marry Yang Xingmi's daughter, but Yang Xingmi's generosity still touched him. At least, Yang Xingmi's benevolence and faithfulness are not comparable to those of himself.

"Naturally it's true, here is a handwritten letter from Ling Gongzi to the king, the king can look at it!" Pi Guangye took out a sealed brocade box, and when it was opened, it revealed a letter. Qian Biao's guard stepped forward to take the letter and turned to present it to Qian Biao.

Qian Biao took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was his son's handwriting.

In the letter, in addition to greeting Qian Biao, Qian Chuanhui mainly mentioned his life in Guangling.

Except that he could not leave Guangling City at will, his life in Guangling was very free, and the officials up and down Huainan did not discriminate or prejudice against him. Yang Xingmi also often summoned him, was very easy-going to him, and did not treat him differently because he was Qian Biao's son.

In short, his life in Guangling is good, and the only thing he can't worry about is Hangzhou.

In addition, Qian Chuanhui also mentioned Gu Quanwu, Cheng Ji and others in the letter, saying that they were also courteous in Guangling, but none of them chose to surrender. This made Qian Biao also breathe a sigh of relief.

After reading Qian Chuanxuan's letter, Qian Biao was silent for a long time.

At this time, he felt very complicated in his heart, Yang Xingmi insisted on marrying his daughter to his son, which at least showed that he did not have the idea of killing the Qian family, otherwise he would not insist on letting the two get married in this situation.

Moreover, Yang Xingmi's benevolence is also famous in the world, so it seems that if he fails in the future, at least he will not affect the family; Even, when he really can't resist, he may be able to choose to surrender, presumably Yang Xingmi will not kill him all.

Thinking about it like this, Qian Biao's heart was actually relieved, and the trace of worry in his heart for so many days suddenly dissipated.

But then, he became alert again, remembering that he would feel relieved just now, Qian Biao was shocked in his heart, and began to reflect on what he had done these days.

It seems that since he went out of the city that day to fight with the Huainan army, and finally failed to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop because of the continuous rain, how long has it been since he sent troops out of the city to fight the Huainan army?

On weekdays, in addition to ordering the soldiers to strengthen the city wall, he didn't even think about how to defeat the Huainan army and how to lift the siege of Hangzhou, and even the officials and generals under his command hadn't seen it for a long time.

In terms of external affairs, in addition to sending envoys to Bianzhou to ask for help, he rarely took the initiative to send people outside to inquire about the news, and he didn't even know about the many big things that were happening outside today.

Realizing that he had become so decadent, Qian Biao couldn't help but regret it in his heart.

However, now the Huainan army has besieged the city on a large scale, looking out from the city wall, just the continuous camp tents are so many that people are scared to death, if the Huainan army did not deceive, now the Huainan army outside the city has at least 70,000 or 80,000 people, and the people are as many as 100,000, and it is a little difficult to rely on their own strength to lift the siege of Hangzhou.

However, as a strong-minded hero, he naturally would not surrender so easily; On the contrary, after realizing his decadence, Qian Biao actually began to regain his strength, and even the tiredness in his expression was much less.

On the other side, Pi Guangye didn't know that his words just now had such a big impact on Qian Biao, but he saw the change in his mentality from Qian Biao's expression, and couldn't help but be very surprised.

"I was a little decadent just now, why did I suddenly cheer up? Could it be that what I just said was counterproductive? Pi Guangye thought wildly in his heart.

After a long time, Qian Biao asked, "What did Yang Wu send you for?" ”

Pi Guangye thought about it, and finally said bluntly: "King Qiqi, I am here to persuade you to surrender!" ”

"Bold! The city of Hangzhou is strong, there are many defenders, and the king is personally stationed, I am two Zhejiang soldiers and civilians are united, and you Huainan army can bear me? ”

"Yes, our army is united and its morale is high, how can it surrender?"

……

As soon as Pi Guangye's words fell, the civil and military generals who were standing next to him scolded one after another.

"Although Hangzhou is strong, His Royal Highness the Prince of my family has always been resourceful, and General Li Shenfu, the deputy commander of our army, is a famous general who has won all battles! In addition, our Huainan army has many generals and sharp siege equipment, Suzhou, Runzhou, Xuanzhou, Ezhou, these strong cities can not stop our army. Now that His Royal Highness the Prince of my family and General Li Shenfu are commanding an army of 100,000 and attacking the city with all their might, how long can the king hold on? ”

Everyone couldn't help but stagnate, speechless for a while, Qian Biao sneered when he heard it: "Don't say much about this kind of persuasion, Hangzhou Jiancheng, no matter how Yang Wu and Li Shenfu use their troops like gods, this siege battle is real, and there is no trick." If Yang Wu wants to capture Hangzhou, with Huainan's current strength, even if he can do it, how many troops will he lose at that time? ”

"What's more, Gu Nai is the king of Yue, and like Yang Xingmi, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Wu is just a junior, what qualifications do you have to persuade Gu to surrender?"

Pi Guangye couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, he also knew that it was too difficult to persuade Qian Biao in this situation, not to mention that there was still hope for Qian Biao to stick to it now, just because he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it was not something that Yang Wu could do if he wanted to persuade him, maybe there was some hope for Yang Xingmi to come forward in person in the future.

However, he still continued to persuade: "I heard that the king is a native of Hangzhou, and since the beginning of the army, he has always been generous and loving to the people, and he can't bear to trap the people in fire and water. Now that the king is alone, trapped in a lonely city, even if he doesn't think about the king's family, at least he has to think about one or two for the people of this city, right? ”

Qian Biao said with a smile when he heard this: "I heard that Yang Xingmi has always been a kind person, and your son Yang Wu has always paid attention to strict military discipline, and he will pay attention to protecting the people every time he attacks the city, so he believes that even if he breaks through Hangzhou in the future, he will treat the people here well." ”

Pi Guangye said: "My Huainan army has strict military discipline, so naturally I will not do anything to slaughter the people." But what if the siege lasts for a long time, and the people in the city starve to death because of the lack of food? Could it be that the king saw that the people of his hometown were starving to death for the king's selfishness? ”

He turned to look at the other civil and military generals, and continued: "And all the lords and generals present, these are all subordinates who have followed the king for many years, can the king bear to let them die in battle to defend the city?" ”

Qian Biao listened silently for a moment, shook his head with a firm expression, and said, "Enough, there is no need to say anything more about persuasion." While Lone hasn't changed his mind now, you should hurry out of the city! ”

Pi Guangye's heart sank, and he knew that he couldn't say any more, otherwise he might really be detained in the city, so he had to leave immediately.
