Wang Ming smiled and invited him into the house, turned on the lamp, and then said, "What am I here to do, I am here to save the lives of your whole family." ”

Wu Guoding was slightly shocked and said, "Lord Wang, don't be sensational, you are here to be Cheng Yue's lobbyist?" ”

Wang Ming sneered: "Am I sensational? Wu Guoding, Wu Guoding, you have grown so big in vain, I really don't know whether you live or die. I might as well tell you that tomorrow the Metropolitan Governor will attack the city, and after the city is broken, all three of you will be destroyed. The governor was ready, but he didn't do anything because he took pity on the people being implicated, so he first found someone to enter the city to persuade him to surrender. Originally, I was going to send someone else, but I took the initiative to ask for help, just because of your previous friendship. ”

Wu Guoding heard that Cheng Yue had decided to attack the city, his face couldn't help twitching, and said: "Lord Wang doesn't need to scare me, I think my Anji Prefecture capital city is as strong as a golden stone, even if it is Cheng Yue, it won't be so easy to attack it." ”

Wang Ming squinted at him, shook his head and sighed, "If I knew you thought like this, I shouldn't have ventured into the city to save you." Anyway, leave your son to me, I will definitely raise him as an adult, and I won't let your Wu family be extinct. ”

When Wu Guoding heard him say this, his face turned pale with fright, and he looked at Wang Ming in a panic and said, "Why did Lord Wang say this?" Isn't the Metropolitan Governor a god? How come I haven't heard of him conquering any city? ”

Wang Ming saw that he was really as Cheng Yue said, he was fierce and inward-looking, and he admired Cheng Yue even more in his heart, and said: "Of course, the Metropolitan Governor is not an immortal, but it is more than enough to break through this city." What do you think about Yangzhou City? Li Tingzhi and Lord Li defended the city, and the fierce general Jiang Cai was deputy, and his subordinates were all elite soldiers. Plus the upper and lower hearts. The people of Yangzhou would rather starve to death on the side of the road than surrender. The Yuan army's prime minister, who was known as a hundred victories, attacked for several months in vain. But what about the change of the Grand Governor? When the Governor heard that Lord Li Tingzhi dared to put forward conditions to him, he was furious and sent four fierce generals to Yangzhou with 20,000 men and ordered them to break the city within seven days. When Jiang Cai heard about it, he was so frightened that he rushed back to Yangzhou overnight, contacted other guards in Yangzhou and Taizhou Sun Liangchen and others who were summoned to Yangzhou by Lord Li to discuss, and took advantage of the night to make trouble and kidnap Lord Li to the Metropolitan Governor. You know Jiang Cai's loyalty to Master Li. Why would he rather be scolded by Lord Li than do this? After Lord Li returned to the Metropolitan Governor, he did not blame Jiang Cai at all, and the two reconciled as before. Tell me, what's going on? Is Yangzhou City really impregnable? ”

"The governor of the capital dared to besiege the seventy or eighty thousand elite soldiers who arrived in Boyan with more than 10,000 troops, and Boyan was so frightened that he did not dare to go out of the city to engage in battle. If it weren't for the fact that the Metropolitan Governor wanted to negotiate peace with the Yuan army, and didn't want to capture Boyan alive and let the Yuan Dynasty not come to Taiwan, do you think Changzhou would not be able to fight? Boyan honestly returned the place and Jiangxi to the governor of Jiankang, and kept almost all the grain and grass, do you think Boyan is incompetent or he is just so easy to talk? There are so many soldiers and civilians in Sichuan that there is no deterrent from the forces of the Grand Governor. Can you get it back? If the Metropolitan Governor can't take Changzhou, will Boyan Ken be so compromised? Tell me about it. I'm not here to save your life, I'm here to do something? ”

Wu Guoding was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly saluted Wang Ming with gratitude: "Thank you Lord Wang for saving your life, I am too confused, if Lord Wang doesn't wake me up, my Wu family will almost die here." ”

Wang Ming looked at Wu Guoding fixedly, and said, "Which of the civil and military generals under the Metropolitan Governor can you afford to provoke?" At this point, Anji Prefecture is a must-lose, and I ask you one last question, are you willing to serve the Grand Governor? ”

Wu Guoding hurriedly said: "Yes, a hundred willing." Lord Wang, I will do whatever the Governor tells me to do, and I will do everything I am told. ”

Wang Ming slapped the table angrily and said, "What did I just say about Jiang Cai?" Do you still need me to say it again? ”

Wu Guoding thought for a while, patted his head fiercely and said: "Alas, Lord Wang, I am stupid, if you have something to say, just say it, I will do what you say." ”

Wang Ming nodded with a smile and said, "It's not to do what I say, it's to do it for the Metropolitan Governor." Now that the night is dark, it's time to start, do you still want to talk to me here? ”

Wu Guoding hurriedly saluted Wang Ming and said: "Lord Wang, I will arrange it, and I will definitely let the Metropolitan Governor enter the city smoothly, and I will never dare to delay the major affairs of the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Wang Ming said with a smile: "Tell you a good thing, the Metropolitan Governor has a word first, as long as you hand over Anji Prefecture to the Metropolitan Governor completely, this place will be under your control." I've just been cast under the Governor's account, and the credit is on you. Let's go. The Metropolitan Governor is there, and naturally I have good words for you. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Wu Guoding immediately said goodbye and went out. He agreed with Wang Ming to surrender, and suddenly felt relaxed, all the previous worries and fears disappeared abruptly, and his steps were much easier.

Wu Guoding walked out of the inn, took his team of henchmen to a corner, and commanded in a low voice. Immediately, Wu Guoding immediately returned to the city tower, and his henchmen went to contact and control the people in the city.

In the middle of the night, the henchmen came back one after another, and the people in the city were all at their disposal, waiting for Wu Guoding's order.

Wu Guoding saw that the big event had been decided, and his heart was overjoyed. took a few sergeants, held their chests high, and went straight to Zhao Liangchun's room.

Zhao Liangchun was nervous and very tired by Cheng Yue's army during the day, so he slept very deeply at the moment, and he didn't hear the sound of Wu Guoding picking off the latch at all.

Wu Guoding walked to Zhao Liangchun's bed with the sergeant, and with a wave of his hand, the three sergeants pounced. One lays his hands, one presses his feet, and one stops. Before Zhao Liangchun could figure out what was going on, he had already tied him up in a strong knot, and his mouth was blocked by a cloth.

Zhao Liangchun's eyes widened, and he looked at Wu Guoding angrily and helplessly, he really didn't expect that he would be betrayed by his subordinates.

The door was pushed open again, and several sergeants walked in carrying Xu Daolong's father and son, who were also tied up, and threw them to the ground one by one.

Xu Daolong looked at Wu Guoding viciously, his mouth was silent, and the green tendons on his neck were violent, obviously angry.

Wu Guoding was very calm, and gave a slight salute to the two of them: "Two adults, please forgive the last general for being rude." The Metropolitan Governor was ordered to enter Lin'an Miansheng, and it was inappropriate for the two adults to stay in trouble, not to mention accusing the Metropolitan Governor of the wolf's ambitions, which was even more of a crime. The last general did not dare to obey the orders of the two adults. Therefore, on the order of the Grand Governor, the two lords were taken down. The last general will never hurt the two adults. Everything was decided by the Metropolitan Governor after he entered the city. "Ignore them. Command men to guard them, and then order them to arrest their families. He personally ran to find Wang Ming, opened the city gate, and asked Wang Ming to report to Cheng Yue. (Historically, Wu Guoding opened the city gate to let the Yuan army enter the city, and Zhao Liangchun committed suicide.) Xu Daolong had led his troops to Lin'an to reinforce at that time, but was caught up by the Yuan army, and his headquarters were completely annihilated, and Xu Daolong and his eldest son Xu Zaisun committed suicide)

Cheng Yue was asleep. Awakened by a sergeant. Immediately meet Wang Ming in the dormitory. Wang Ming told what had happened before and after, Cheng Yue laughed, and was a little impressed by Wang Ming. Immediately ordered Tokhtar to take the five straight guards to investigate.

Tokhtar led the army into the city, and saw that the Song army was under the command of Wu Guoding, all laid down their arms and waited for surrender, so he immediately ordered the guards to control the city gate, and then ordered Wu Guoding to maintain law and order, and no one was allowed to take the opportunity to make trouble, and he returned to Cheng Yue on his own horse.

Cheng Yue was not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, he went back to sleep and didn't lead the civil and military into the city until after dawn. The army was still camped outside the city.

Wu Guoding saw Cheng Yue coming to the front of him, and he hurriedly bowed to the ground, calling himself a sinner.

Cheng Yue helped him up, smiled and encouraged him, telling him that he was still staying here, and asked him to continue his efforts.

Wu Guoding was overjoyed, took Cheng Yue and others to his house, personally guarded them, and waited carefully.

Cheng Yue did not waste time, let a group of Wenchen sit beside him, and ordered someone to bring Zhao Liangchun and Xu Daolong over.

Zhao Liangchun and Xu Daolong were still tied up very strongly, and they didn't even take out the rags stuffed in their mouths.

Zhao Liangchun couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Zhao Mengfu was also here. is also a clan, why does even he have to work for Cheng Yue?

Cheng Yue didn't need others to do it, and personally untied them.

The two of them have been tied up for a long time, and it is inevitable that their hands are sore, and they are unable to remove the cloth from their mouths.

Cheng Yue helped them take out the cloth again and throw it aside.

The two moved their hands and feet for a while, and their blood vessels were back unobstructed, and they finally ended up relaxed. But he still looked at Cheng Yue coldly and didn't give courtesy.

Cheng Yue doesn't care, he admires people like them very much in his heart, and almost all of the most important civil and military generals under him are of this type.

Cheng Yue waited for their faces to return to normal before he smiled and said, "The two adults are working hard to defend the city. I just asked, the families of the two adults are safe, two ??????"

Xu Daolong didn't wait for Cheng Yue to finish speaking, interrupted him and reprimanded: "Cheng Yue, as the governor of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor is magnificent, but you want to seize the city and kidnap people, do you want to rebel?" ”

Cheng Yue expected them to say this, so he was not angry, and still said very gently: "This is Lord Xu, right?" I know that Lord Xu is a little inconsiderate of me, but I have something I need to do, and I have to do it. If Da Song continues like this, how long can it last? If no one comes forward, who will be the world in a few decades? I can honestly tell you that the Yuan army was blocked by me this time, giving us a chance to breathe. But if I don't do anything, next time we will lose. You ask me if I'm rebelling, but I've never considered it. All I know is that no one can stand in my way. The city is to be taken, but I do not want to take it captive. I have invited so many people here today to witness just to reassure you. Although the two adults are at their own convenience, I will not leave it uneasy. ”

Zhao Liangchun sneered and said, "Does the Metropolitan Governor think that I have no one in the Great Song Dynasty?" In Lin'an City, there are still 30,000 or 40,000 elite soldiers, and there are countless loyal people in the government and the opposition. As long as we raise our arms and shout, we will definitely respond like a cloud, and it will be easy to gather tens of thousands of people, and most of the governors want to go against the sky, don't make a mistake. ”

Cheng Yue shook his head when he heard this, looked at him calmly and said, "This must be Lord Zhao." Cheng is not talented, I want to ask Lord Zhao if you want to make a bet with me? ”

Zhao Liangchun was slightly stunned and said, "What are you betting on?" What is the stake? ”

Cheng Yue said very confidently: "I bet you can't gather more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight me, even the army in Lin'an City." ”

Xu Daolong said angrily: "What's so great about you Cheng Yue? Don't look down on the heroes of the world! I, Xu Daolong, dare to be the first to fight with you, do you dare to kill me? ”

Cheng Yue smiled when he heard this: "It's not that I'm anything great, but no one will listen to you at all." If you don't believe me, give it a try. ”

Li Tingzhi thought for a moment and knew what it meant. Said: "Jing Cheng (Zhao Liangchun's words), Bo Qian (Xu Daolong's words), what the Metropolitan Governor said is true, you don't struggle in vain and waste your lives." ”

Xu Daolong snorted coldly: "I don't know who this is?" The Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty can't say such things, the court is not kind to you, is this how you repay the court's kindness? Where did you go to guard Yangzhou before? Let a yellow-mouthed boy ride on your head as a prestige, are you ashamed? ”

Li Tingzhi was not angry, and smiled: "You two, you are loyal, but you can't be blind. The Metropolitan Governor's appearance this time is precisely to make great achievements in the court. If the Metropolitan Governor wants to be the emperor, do you still have a life at the moment? Besides, can you stop it? If you want to gather your men against the Grand Governor, who will follow you? Whose credit is it that the people were saved from captivity? The Great Song Dynasty was saved from the destruction of the country and the annihilation, who did it? How many people can you stir up with the clamor of the two of you? Will the princes of the court and the central government dance with you? Have you thought about any of this? The Governor wanted to release you, and fearing that you would not believe, called us to witness it. Even if you don't appreciate it, you don't have to hurt people like that. ”

Zhao Liangchun sighed and said bitterly: "Lord Li, since ancient times, all loyal ministers have entered the palace to face the saints, have there been so many troops?" In addition to forcing the palace, what is the use of these centaurs? Lord Li, you are so confused, the lower officials don't think so. ”

Li Tingzhi did not give up, and persuaded again: "The metropolitan governor wants to make great progress, how can he do it without military power?" If the Metropolitan Governor really wanted to replace Song and replace him, why should he only bring these people? The Metropolitan Governor now has 180,000 troops, what can he do if he wants to? Both of you are uniquely talented, so you should keep your useful role as the people of the world to do more things, don't insist on going your own way, and you have to force the Metropolitan Governor with the Death Festival. If you are willing to be a good official and not be an enemy of the Metropolitan Governor, the Metropolitan Governor is the time to employ people, why worry about the uselessness? ”

Xu Daolong said righteously: "As a courtier, the king wants the minister to die, and he should die generously to repay the king's kindness, how can he protect himself with a sword?" The Metropolitan Governor kept the ancestral hall for my Great Song Dynasty, how could the official family be sorry for the Metropolitan Governor? If anyone dares to disadvantage the Grand Governor, I will plead with me to never let the Grand Governor suffer unjustly! ”

Cheng Yue looked at the Wenchen beside him helplessly, and all the Wenchen were also a little sour by him. (To be continued......)
