I held the letter and wondered what Liu Zongmin meant by this dog day.

As a result, when I opened it, there was such a paragraph written crookedly: "Chongzhen, Ben Shuai has already found out that you are playing an empty trick with me, but Ben Shuai will give you a chance, as long as you dedicate the beauty Chen Yuanyuan to Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai promises to withdraw the troops immediately and give you a way out." ”

Nima! After reading the letter, Lao Tzu was angry and tore the letter in half.

Seeing this, Liu Zongmin's messenger said to me: "The emperor doesn't need to be angry, what the marshal said in his letter is true." And the marshal also said, give the emperor a day to think about it, as long as the emperor agrees to the marshal's request and gives Chen Yuanyuan to the marshal, the marshal will definitely retire! ”

The messenger said that it was high-sounding, but from what I know about Liu Zongmin, although he is lustful, he is definitely not the kind of mediocre and incompetent person.

He said that as long as I gave Chen Yuanyuan to him, he would withdraw his troops.

But no matter how stupid I am, I know that even if I give him ten Chen Yuanyuan, he may disobey Li Zicheng's order because of a woman.

Although I know what Liu Zongmin wants to do, those mediocre and wasted generals under my command can't see through the essence of things at all.

After they heard the messenger say this, they said one after another, saying that Chen Yuanyuan was originally a woman in the dust, and since Liu Zongmin wanted it, it didn't hurt to give it away.

I was already very angry, and those wasted generals added fuel to me, which made me angry.

I yelled at them, "Your words are useless. If Liu Zongmin can abandon Nanjing because of a woman, then why did Li Zicheng send him south? ”

As soon as he said this, the messenger's face changed, and he whispered to me: "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand Dashuai, Dashuai really thinks so!" ”

"Misunderstanding, you should be stupid!"

So saying, I grabbed him up, dragged him out of the main hall, and then drew my sword and prepared to kill him.

Seeing this, he cried and begged: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the two armies have fought against each other without killing them. If you kill me, even if you dedicate Chen Yuanyuan to Dashuai later, Dashuai will not let you go! ”

Just as he was saying this, Chen Yuanyuan happened to come over and heard it. Then he asked me, "Your Majesty, what's going on?" ”

I didn't answer her, I raised my knife and said to the messenger: "Since ancient times, I have not killed the envoy, but Lao Tzu has crossed over, you don't talk nonsense with me!" ”

With that, I cut off the messenger's head to the ground with a single sword, and Chen Yuanyuan screamed in fright.

I wiped the blood on the knife, then changed the topic, comforted Chen Yuanyuan and said, "Yuanyuan don't have to be afraid!" ”

But Chen Yuanyuan was not stupid, she understood the words of the messenger, so she said to me: "Your Majesty, is it that if I follow Liu Zongmin, he will withdraw the army?" ”

"How is it possible, don't think about it, go back quickly. I still have to consult with the ministers about state affairs! ”

After that, I asked the guards to send Chen Yuanyuan back, and then walked into the main hall by myself.

As a result, Chen Yuanyuan put aside the guards, rushed directly to the main hall, and asked again: "Your Majesty, if you can protect the country from trouble with me alone, Yuanyuan is willing to follow Liu Zongmin!" ”

As soon as she said this, those mediocre and wasted generals in the court were instantly excited, and they accused her of being a disaster, and some even said that they lost Nanjing last time because of her, but they didn't expect it to be because of her this time.

After these mediocre generals finished speaking, Chen Yuanyuan knelt on the ground and said coldly: "I beg the emperor to give the people the opportunity to serve the country!" ”

"Please allow Chen Yuanyuan to serve the country!"

A group of mediocre and wasted generals immediately chimed in, and with a kick of Lao Tzu's anger, he kicked the desk in front of him to the ground, and said sharply: "If you dare to mention this matter again, you will end up like Liu Zongmin's messenger!" ”

After that, I said to the guards: "Imperial guards, quickly take Chen Yuanyuan back to the palace!" ”

The guards carried Chen Yuanyuan and walked outside the main hall, Chen Yuanyuan kept saying: "Your Majesty, please let the people be loyal to the country!" The Emperor ......"

When I heard her say this, my heart was extremely uncomfortable.

I can't help but think of that sentence: If a husband can't protect a woman, how can he protect the world!

But now I am in a situation where I can't protect the woman I love, and I can't protect Nanjing, which has just been recovered.

Thinking about these complicated issues, and then looking at the waste generals under Chongzhen, I left the court and returned to my dormitory, and began to think about how to deal with Liu Zongmin.

……

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure out how to repel Liu Zongmin, and finally walked out of the dormitory and came to the imperial garden for a walk.

As a result, as soon as I stepped into the Imperial Garden, a few darts suddenly flew towards me.

Fortunately, I learned some basic martial arts from Mu Xia before, so I dodged the darts with a backflip.

"Bold assassin, don't come out yet!" I roared.

As soon as the words fell, Mu Xia came over from under the osmanthus tree behind and said to me: "Brother Emperor, how can there be any assassins, it's me!" ”

"What are you messing about?"

I walked over to see that Chen Yuanyuan was also there, and he was still holding a pipa in his hand.

"Brother Emperor, how can I make trouble. I'm teaching Sister Yuanyuan how to install a hidden weapon in the pipa. ”

After speaking, the little girl picked up the pipa, and then pointed to the pipa and said to me: "Sister Yuanyuan said that she is a weak woman and doesn't know how to defend herself, so she asked me to install a hidden weapon in her pipa." Didn't you just install it, you big pervert ran over, and luckily didn't shoot you to death! ”

Forehead......

I looked so embarrassed that I didn't know what to say.

Chen Yuanyuan stood up and said to me: "Your Majesty, the people's daughter didn't mean it just now, and please ask the emperor to atone for her sins!" ”

"Oh, what's your sin." I waved my hand and walked towards Chen Yuanyuan, and then asked, "You have guards to protect you every day, why do you install this secret weapon?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan first paused for a moment, and then said: "Although there are guards to protect you, it is inevitable that you will encounter danger, so I ...... the people's daughter."

Seeing her say that, I didn't think much of it. After chatting with them for a while, he returned to the dormitory.

……

Back in the dormitory, I thought again about how I could slow down Liu Zongmin's march and ensure that the city of Nanjing was still in my hands before Li Dingguo and the others came.

As the messenger told me, Liu Zongmin only gave me one day to think about it, and after one day, he would attack the city again.

So when I returned to the dormitory, I couldn't sleep all night, holding a military map and studying it repeatedly, but unfortunately I couldn't get an answer.

Soon, a ray of sunlight shone on my face through the window, and when I opened the door and saw the red sun rising, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this Nanjing city seemed to be doomed.

However, it is very strange that I waited until noon, but I still did not see Liu Zongmin's army attacking the city.

I was thinking, is Liu Zongmin, a thief, still waiting for me to send him Chen Yuanyuan?

Just when I was puzzled, Li Dingguo's lieutenant Gao Anbang suddenly came to the Nanjing Imperial Palace and presented me with a secret report.

When I opened the report, I saw that there were two letters inside. One is for me, and the other is for Liu Zongmin.

In the letter, Li Dingguo told me that there is only one way to delay Liu Zongmin temporarily, and that is to surrender by fraud. Because Liu Zongmin, he and Liu Wenxiu are both fellow villagers in Shaanxi, and Li Zongming is still his uncle in terms of seniority.

So he wrote a letter to Liu Zongmin, in which he told Liu Zongmin that he had surrendered to me in Sichuan because he was completely forced to do so, and now he could join forces with his uncle and nephew to defeat me in Nanjing in one fell swoop. told Liu Zongmin to wait for him to arrive before attacking the city.

Nima, when I saw this letter, I was so excited that I almost cried.

Li Dingguo is worthy of being a generation of war gods, he is really capable of literature and martial arts, and he even thought of such a strategy.

So I sealed the envelope and asked his deputy Gao Anbang to send it to Liu Zongmin quickly.

After Li Dingguo's messenger left, I came to the city tower again, just to see if Liu Zongmin would come to attack.

As a result, as soon as he walked up to the city tower, he heard the soldiers guarding the gate talking about Chen Yuanyuan, and one of them said: "Didn't I say it earlier, Liu Zongmin is a reckless." No, Chen Yuanyuan went to Liu Zongmin's camp last night, and Liu Zongmin didn't come to attack the city. ”

"Yes, Liu Zongmin is really trustworthy. But don't talk about Chen Yuanyuan in the future, what she did this time was really to save the country with her body! ”
