Huang Mengze, the captain of Li Dingguo's personal guard, was unwilling to lead people to retreat, he knelt in front of Li Dingguo, said that the King of Jin was going over, and stepped over his corpse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

King Jin raised his sword, but the knife did not fall in the end.

"Why don't you let you go alone, why don't you let you go alone! Isn't the life of the soldiers the life of the soldiers, but the life of the lone is the life! Could it be that the soldiers want to return to China, but they don't want to be alone! Get out of the way and let the lonely pass! Today, Lone will return to China with his soldiers, even if he dies, Lone will return to China with their ghosts and return to their hometown! ”

The King of Jin has made up his mind, or he has decided to die. He kicked Huang Mengze away, but Huang Mengze hugged him again in the blink of an eye.

"When we are dead, it will not be too late for His Highness to come up again!"

Huang Mengze said that he was about to get up and lead his subordinates to attack the city. However, Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang, and Li Sixing, the prince of Gongchang, on the side, suddenly lost their voices: "Why did the city gate open?!" ”

The gates opened?

King Jin and Huang Mengze and other guards were all shocked, and they all looked at Kapok Prefecture City. Sure enough, the city gate that had just been closed opened at some point, and the Wu army that was originally densely packed in the city also quietly disappeared.

This sudden scene made the soldiers of the Ming army who were charging also stunned, and the people in front subconsciously stopped, because this was really incredible.

The people behind didn't know what was going on, and they were still rushing forward, causing chaos in the Ming army. After figuring out what was happening, thousands of Ming soldiers opened their mouths wide and stared blankly at the city gate.

Why did the gates open?

"This, what's going on?"

King Jin's hands were trembling, his voice was trembling, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Is there really a miracle in this world?

Li Sixing didn't think much about it, jumped up excitedly, and shouted, "Father, they let us go back to China!" ”

Bai Wenxuan was worried in his heart, and when he found that it was not the cavalry of the Wu army that rushed out of the city, but dozens of cavalry wearing red army uniforms, he was violently excited, and immediately overjoyed, and shouted excitedly to the king of Jin: "It's the Taiping Army, Your Highness, it's the Taiping Army!" ”

.........

What came out of the city was Lu Guangzu, the headquarters of the New Fifth Army of the Taiping Army, and Le Tongwu came with him.

After learning that Kunming had changed banners and that Governor Lin Tianqing was dead, the general of Mumian Prefecture, who could not bear to do anything to Li Dingguo's troops, immediately ordered his subordinates to lay down their weapons and let the Taiping army enter the city.

Knowing that the Ming army outside the city was preparing to attack the city of Mumian Prefecture, Shao Jiugong was startled and hurriedly asked Lu Guangzu and Le Tongwu to hurry out of the city to get in touch with the King of Jin.

"Soldiers under the command of King Jin, Yunnan has changed banners anyway, you can return to China!"

"I'm Le Tongwu, brothers, Yunnan is anyway, everyone can go back to China!"

Lu Guangzu and Le Tongwu Zongma shouted loudly in front of the Ming army, and soon the news spread throughout the Ming army and also reached the ears of the King of Jin.

"His Royal Highness Gong, it seems that there are still miracles in this world!"

King Jin couldn't hide the excitement and joy in his heart, how could he not be excited, how could he not be happy. At this moment, many soldiers will no longer die in vain in this country, and they will finally be able to set foot on their homeland!

Heaven finally left him Li Dingguo with a glimmer of life; God, and finally did not disappoint Li Dingguo, the great hero of the Han people.

Bai Wenxuan was also excited, and even shed tears in front of his subordinates. Seeing His Royal Highness King Gongchang like this, many Ming army generals were in tears.

All the officers and men of the Ming army were cheering, and the family members in the rear were crying, this time, they were not crying for their relatives, but crying for being alive, crying for being able to return to the country.

Under the order of Shao Jiugong, the Wu army in the city took out the stored grain, collected all the iron pots in the city, and provided the Ming soldiers with their first meal after returning to China.

This meal, the soldiers of the Ming Army, who had been living abroad for more than two years, were finally able to eat a full meal with peace of mind.

Seeing those thin and haggard soldiers of the Jin Dynasty who were due to lack of medical care and food, Shao Jiugong was very moved, and secretly blamed himself in his heart for coming late, if he came earlier, these people would be able to suffer a little less.

After his subordinates and families were settled in the city, King Fang of Jin and King Gongchang, as well as generals such as Li Sixing and Wu Sanxing, went to the banquet together.

........

The banquet was specially organized by Shao Jiugong, although there was no delicacies from the mountains and seas, but it was already a big fish and meat that King Jin and others had not seen for a long time.

"See His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"See His Royal Highness King Gongchang!"

As soon as King Jin and King Gongchang and others came in, Shao Jiugong led a group of civil and military officers under his command to pay homage to them.

"I can't help it, hurry up, hurry up!"

Looking at dozens of Taiping generals kneeling neatly in front of him, Li Dingguo was a little caught off guard, he didn't expect that the people of the Taiping Army would make such a big salute to his fallen prince.

King Gongchang was also a little stunned, and he didn't accept it, and he didn't accept it. The generals of the Ming army, such as Wu Sanxing, who came with the two princes, saw the people of the Taiping Army treating the two princes like this, which moved them and at the same time gave birth to respect.

Shao Jiugong and others insisted on the etiquette of seeing the prince and the prince of the county, and then invited the king of Jin and the king of Gongchang to sit down.

"General Shao doesn't have to be like this, His Royal Highness Gong and I are just the ones who will survive the catastrophe, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that now, the two of us may have died in battle, where can we still stand here."

Li Dingguo was telling the truth, he was ready to die in battle, and even he hoped that he could die on the road of attack.

Bai Wenxuan nodded, although the people of the Taiping Army saluted him and Li Dingguo, but he didn't dare to really see himself as a prince.

After King Jin and King Gongchang sat down, Shao Jiugong said with a sincere face: "My marshal has always been worried about His Royal Highness, and he has long wanted to send troops to rescue His Highness to return to China, but the domestic situation is extremely urgent, in order to recover the southern capital as soon as possible, my marshal has to let His Royal Highness suffer outside the border." Therefore, the marshal of my family specially asked me to convey to His Highness, asking His Highness to forgive him, if he arrives in the southern capital one day, the marshal of my family will ask His Highness for his guilt in person! ”

"Lone has never blamed King Qi, if he is Lone, he should also focus on recovering the southern capital. Since Jiashen, I have suffered too much, and what are these sufferings that I have suffered alone... After all, Lone is still alive, but the dead can never be resurrected, and when I think of them, Lone feels uncomfortable, as if there are ten thousand catties of boulders..."

Li Dingguo did not blame Zhou Shixiang for coming to his rescue for a long time, the importance of recovering the southern capital to the overall situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty was much more important than that of him Li Dingguo, and it can even be said that ten Li Dingguo were not as important as recovering the southern capital. He was really sad now, and he regretted the soldiers who died in a foreign land.

Seeing this, Bai Wenxuan hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, today is a day of great joy, don't say this, don't say this." The dead brother would probably be happy if he knew that His Highness had returned home safely. ”

Shao Jiugong, Lu Guangzu, Wu Sansheng and others also comforted King Jin, saying that they had returned to China today, and His Royal Highness put down his thoughts. After he rested and recuperated, he ordered his troops and horses to go to Burma, set foot on his Burmese royal city, and avenge the dead soldiers.

King Jin pressed the emotions in his heart, and didn't want everyone to be in a bad mood because of his emotions. After all, today is a big day for the soldiers to return home.

The King of Jin personally picked up the wine glass and got up, thanking the Taiping Army for saving him. Shao Jiugong didn't even dare to say it, and drank it all with the generals. Gongchang Wang Bai Wenxuan and Wu Sanxing also raised their glasses, and soon, the gloom in the banquet was swept away.

Because he was happy, King Jin drank a few more glasses, and his face was a little red. Seeing that King Gongchang and Wu Sanxing were talking happily with the generals of the Taiping Army, he was very emotional in his heart, pondered for a moment, put down his wine glass, and slowly said to Shao Jiu: "But I don't know how His Royal Highness the King of Qi arranged for these soldiers under me?" Will it be settled in Yunnan or will it be somewhere else? ”

Hearing this, the excitement in the banquet came to an abrupt end, and Wu Sanxing's eyes fell on Shao Jiugong's face.

Shao Jiugong said with a smile: "His Royal Highness has just returned to China, and these things will be discussed later." At present, His Highness and the soldiers are still resting and recuperating. ”

King Jin glanced at King Gongchang, who was about to speak, and said to Shao Jiu in a deep voice: "Lonely, my greatest wish is to be able to return to the country with the soldiers. Now, this wish has been fulfilled, so Gu has decided to disarm and return to the field, and when this matter is over, he will go to the southern capital to listen to the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Hou Qi. Therefore, how to settle these soldiers under Lone's hands, Lone wants to know if His Royal Highness King Qi has any arrangements. ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Wenxuan and Wu Sanxing were all shocked, and Shao Jiugong, Lu Guangzu and others were also stunned.

"Your Highness, you can't leave us!"

Le Tongwu stood up excitedly, and Wu Sanxing and the others were also instantly confused.

Bai Wenxuan sighed, as early as when he was outside the border, he had discussed this matter with Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo told him very clearly at that time that if Zhou Shixiang could help him and his soldiers return to the country one day, then he would put down his military power and go to Nandu, lest because of his existence, his subordinates would be suspicious of Zhou Shixiang.

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Bai Wenxuan knows that Li Dingguo's decision is not wrong, if Li Dingguo does not do this, Zhou Shixiang can tolerate him for the time being, and he will not tolerate him in the future, just like the relationship between Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo back then.

Now that Zhou Shixiang supports the establishment of the Tang Dynasty and ascends to the southern capital, he has the potential to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, how can he not guard against Li Dingguo. You must know that it was Li Dingguo who snatched Zhu Youlang from Sun Kewang to Kunming, which led to a series of subsequent accidents, which eventually led to the fall of the southwest. If it weren't for Zhou Shixiang, the Ming Dynasty would have completely perished.

If he doesn't want the current good situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty to repeat the old things, Li Dingguo's best choice is to give up his military power and stay honestly under the nose of Zhou Shixiang in the southern capital.

In other words, Bai Wenxuan would also make the same choice as Li Dingguo, because they actually don't have the strength to compete with Zhou Shixiang. It's just that he didn't expect Li Dingguo to make a decision in such a hurry.

When everyone was surprised, Shao Jiugong slowly stood up from the chair, took a step back, hugged his fist at Li Dingguo, and then raised his voice and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to disarm and return to the field, and you don't have to go to Nandu!" Because His Royal Highness is not only the King of Jin of the Ming Dynasty, but also the King of Jin of my Han people, and the King of Jin on the battlefield, my family marshal has long said that the King of Jin must fight to the end for the same as him, for my Ming Dynasty, and for my Han people, so that he is the King of Li Jin! ”
