Li Zitong was killed, and the 100,000-strong army was suddenly defeated, and they showed panic on their faces, quietly waiting for the trial of the Southern Sui and Jianghuai armies.

Mao Wenshen's face turned pale and knelt down in front of Li Xuanba, his eyes were a little vicious and full of resentment. The winner is the king and the loser is the thief, and his wrong strategy has led to the loss of Hailing and the tragic death of the main general, and he has lost any motivation to live.

"Who set up this bureau?" Mao Wenshen looked at Li Xuanba, who was not yet weak, and gradually regained his composure, he raised his head and said sincerely: "A month ago, Emperor Jing wanted to take your maidservant as a concubine, I think, from that time on, you have been planning to get rid of the King of Chu. ”

Li Xuanba had already learned from others that the person in front of him was Li Zitong's strategist, and in Mao Wenshen's eyes, Li Xuanba saw the resolute will to die.

The deceased is the greatest, Li Xuanba sighed lightly and replied: "You are right, the true and false remarks in the Jiangdu City in the half moon are indeed deliberately set up in order to eliminate you traitors. As for the people who laid it out, who else could there be but the wise Majesty? ”

"How is that possible?" Mao Wenshen shook his head in distraction, couldn't believe what Li Xuanba said, and muttered: "He is only seventeen years old, how can the city government be so deep?" ”

Mao Wenshen's suspicion is not wrong, Yang Tong is only a participant, not a planner, the real planner is Li Xuanba and the eldest grandson Wuji. But the name of the eldest grandson Wuji could not be mentioned, and Li Xuanba gave him the credit in order to improve Yang Tong's reputation.

"Do you know why this prince is in Jiangdu?" Li Xuanba's face remained unchanged, he didn't blush because of lying, and asked lightly. In Luoyang City, there is a child who is younger than Yang Tong, but his city is deeper than Yang Tong. Mao Wenshen heard about this incident and quickly reacted. A long sigh.

In fact, Mao Wenshen had many doubts in his heart, such as why Li Xuan's hegemony was overwhelming, why he dared to trust Yang Tong, and why Du Fuwei was strong and strong, and why Nan Sui dared to seek skin with the tiger. But he thought about it and decided that none of it mattered. So he asked the last question: "Shen Faxing is the weakest, why don't you attack him, but choose the king of Chu instead?" ”

"Because you're in the way." Li Xuanba replied meaningfully: "The matter has come to this, you might as well return to the imperial court, if you are really talented, this father guarantees that you will be reused." "Hailing City is in the north of Jiangdu, since Li Xuanba said that Li Zitong was in the way, the meaning he expressed is self-evident.

Mao Wen sneered, thinking that the king of Chu had more than 100,000 troops. They didn't dare to drip into the muddy waters of the north, and how many soldiers did the Southern Sui dare to have such an idea. But he thought about it, Nan Sui is weak now, didn't he still defeat the king of Chu?

"Thank you Zhou Guogong for being honest." A smile appeared on Mao Wenshen's ugly face, and then with lightning speed, he crashed into the spear of a Southern Sui soldier beside him.

The sharp spear pierced Mao Wenshen's body, and he frowned in pain. His gaze gradually dimmed.

The soldier looked at Li Xuanba innocently and quietly lowered his head. Li Xuanba smiled bitterly, no longer paid attention to the affairs in the venue, and ran to Hailing City with Yuwen Chengdu and the others.

The Jianghuai army was strictly disciplined, and the burning, killing and looting did not happen, Li Xuanba couldn't help but feel admiration, and arched his hand towards Fu Gongqi and others. and ordered someone to present Li Zitong's head.

Fu Gongqi was still a little vigilant, but seeing that Li Xuanba only brought a dozen people into the city, he relieved himself and returned the salute, letting Wang Xiongli step forward to take over Li Zitong's head.

"Li Zitong has been killed. I wonder what plans Lord Zhou Guogong has in the future? After the politeness, the assistant father-in-law looked away and asked seemingly indifferently.

"Your Majesty hopes that the court and General Manager Du can be at peace and do not invade each other, of course, if General Manager Du is willing to enter the court as an official, Your Majesty will definitely welcome it." Li Xuanba replied with a smile: "This time Li Zitong was killed, thanks to the help of Manager Du, Xuanba expressed his gratitude on behalf of the imperial court. ”

"Lord Zhou Guogong doesn't have to be polite, Li Zitong has had a grudge with the Jianghuai Army for a long time, and we have long wanted to take his life, but unfortunately we have never had the opportunity." Fu Gongfu glanced at Li Zitong's bloodstained head that had dried up, and said: "This is the matter, we should also withdraw to Liyang according to the agreement, I don't know if Zhou Guogong has other orders?" ”

"In any case, you have all made great contributions to the imperial court, Li Zitong has been in power for many years, and his mansion has countless properties, and my father is willing to give half of it to the Jianghuai army as a reward." Li Xuanba pondered for a moment and said, "Please don't refuse." ”

Although the Jianghuai army fought bravely, the losses in this battle were not small, how could Li Xuanba be embarrassed to monopolize the victory?

"Thank you so much Zhou Guogong." The auxiliary prince was also not polite, and thanked him, and ordered Wang Xiongli to integrate the army, and led Kan Ling and hundreds of Jianghuai troops to accompany Li Xuanba to the palace in Hailing City.

Although Li Zitong proclaimed himself the king of Chu, all the supply and demand were in accordance with the emperor's specifications, the strange mountains and stones in the palace, dazzling, jewelry, gold and silver, piled up like a mountain, the harem beauties, there were dozens of them.

Li Xuanba ordered people to divide the property into two parts, and let the auxiliary princess choose, and the auxiliary princess knew that the two were actually almost the same, so he pointed to a pile of them at random, and then set his eyes on the many beautiful women not far away, with obscene eyes, and the meaning of which did not need to be said.

"These women are all poor people, the assistant chief won't even want to occupy them, right?" As a man, Li Xuanba certainly understood the thoughts of the assistant father, and he said with a smile: "When my father was in the Eastern Capital, I heard that the chief officials were generous, and my father wanted to put these women home, so the chief officials should not have an opinion, right?" ”

"That's nature." The assistant grandfather smiled awkwardly and replied: "The grandfather has this intention, but Li Zitong's children, please also ask Zhou Guogong to be handed over to us." ”

"This" Li Xuanba looked embarrassed, frowned and looked at the people who were surrounded by soldiers, shook his head and said: "Li Zitong has been ambushed, his crime is not as good as his family, if this father hands them over to General Manager Du to deal with, I am afraid that they will not escape death, even if they can live, they will become playthings, this father really can't bear it." ”

Fu Gongfu was rejected repeatedly, his face showed a look of concern, and he said lightly: "Lord Zhou Guogong, you treat the enemy so kindly, have you ever thought that if Li Zitong wins this time, how will he treat those people in your mansion?" Can the holy aunt of Nan Sui save her body? Fu Gong's words may be a little ugly, but Li Xuanba has to admit that what he said is very reasonable.

"If Ben Gong puts these people to death, or humiliates them in every way, then what is the difference between Ben Gong and Li Zitong?" Li Xuanba pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't give up, and said righteously: "As long as they don't violate the laws of the imperial court, the imperial court has the obligation to protect them, just like protecting other people." ”

"Taught." The assistant prince was silent for a moment, said no more, ordered someone to carry the jewels and money, left the palace, and then joined the army and headed towards Liyang. (To be continued.) )
