When He Tengjiao was fiercely shooting in Changsha City, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shen Yongzhong and others were standing on a hill looking at Yuezhou City in the distance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It's about the same as the scout's return. The city was very well guarded, but there was no sign of camping in the direction of the official road leading to Changsha to the south, and it seemed that it had no intention of blocking it. Kong Youde held the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and said while observing.

The Qing army, commanded by Kong Youde, has been moving south from Wuchang for some days, and so far the progress has been relatively smooth. It was not until two days ago that the Wuchang Naval Division, which accompanied the expedition, fought a battle with the Ming Army Naval Division with the banner of Huguangzhen at Chenglingji, and drove them back to Dongting Lake completely, thus ensuring the smooth flow of the supply line from the south of Wuchang. And the Ming army in Yuezhou in front of him didn't seem to have the intention of firmly blocking it, and the road to the south could be described as bright.

"They're quite self-aware, which saves us a lot of trouble. It's just that the reputation of the Pang thief who is loyal and good at fighting is afraid that it will be dusted because of this. Letting our army go south and going straight to the puppet Ming Emperor's actions, no matter how you look at it, it is not the work of loyal ministers and good generals. Geng Zhongming's words were a little playful.

"I'm afraid this matter can't be saved." Shen Yongzhong had a serious face, "Even if the road to the south is smooth, with such a puppet thief army nailed here, our army's food and grass supply will be threatened at any time, how can we go south with peace of mind?" ”

Shen Yongzhong is the nephew of his predecessor, Shen Zhixiang, the Duke of Shun. In last year's Jingzhou Campaign, Shen Zhixiang was killed by Huguang Town, and he himself had no son, so the title of Duke Xushun fell to Shen Yongzhong. Because Shen Zhixiang was, after all, the first duke of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to die since the old slave started the army, so Dolgon behaved generously afterwards, not only letting Shen Yongzhong inherit the title of Duke Xushun and serve as the governor of Huguang, but also recalled some of Shen Zhixiang's old troops that had been scattered before as Shen Yongzhong's team to prepare for the establishment of the Admiral's standard battalion.

Although Shen Yongzhong, who took charge of the army, did not say anything, anyone could see that he had been holding his breath in his heart to avenge his uncle. And now the Ming army stationed in Yuezhou is the culprit who killed Shen Zhixiang - the soldiers and horses of Huguang Town, Shen Yongzhong obviously does not want to let go of this great opportunity for revenge.

To fight or not to fight, after all, it is up to Kong Youde to make the final decision. After thinking for a while, Kong Youde decided to send someone to the city with the negotiation conditions that had been prepared long ago. Anyway, the army had just arrived in Yuezhou, and even if it wanted to attack the city, it would not be possible to start it immediately.

Of course, Kong Youde didn't expect much success in this matter, and he barely had any hope that the envoy's head would be saved. But at that time, through the reaction of the guards in the city, we can see his general temperament, and even deduce what his true intention is to stay in Yuezhou. Knowing this, the next step will be more confident.

The envoy was appointed as a secretary surnamed Li in the army, who had recently made a mistake and had not had time to accept punishment, so it was only fitting that he was arranged to do this almost death-defying job.

After Li Shuban learned of his mission, he was almost disillusioned, and was sent outside the East City Gate by a team of cavalry like a walking corpse. What gave him some hope again was that the Ming army in the city did not immediately release arrows to kill him after learning of his intention, but took him into the city as if they had already prepared.

Could it be that the false guards in this city are real...... At that moment, Li Shuban had a lot of thoughts.

After that, he was blindfolded and limped to a place where he was removed from his blindfold. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in an ordinary house. The house was very simple, the windows were closed, and the scenery could not be seen, and in front of a table and a chair, a swarthy and stout man in civilian clothes was sitting on a chair looking at a stack of official documents.

The person who brought him in had already closed the door and gone out, so Li Shuban had to have the courage to ask himself: "Dare to ask this adult, ...... is here?"

"Hades!" The short man didn't wait for Li Shuban to finish asking, and then interrupted loudly.

Li Shuban was taken aback by this thunderous voice, and he trembled and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Lao Tzu is known as the Five Yama Kings, what is Lao Tzu's territory if it is not the Hades Palace?" The stocky man added.

"Villain...... The villain has seen Lord Chen! Li Shuban fell to his knees with a thud. Although he is timid, he is also well-informed, and he knows that if he wants to save his life, he can't think about saving face. If you still want to put a shelf on this one, it is equivalent to sticking out your neck and asking someone to cut it. Besides, there was no third person in the house at this time, and there was not much need to care about face.

"Hahaha......" Chen Youlong, a short man and the "King of the Five Yamas", laughed, "You really give Kong Youde a long face!" Okay, since you have come to Lao Tzu, you have to listen to Lao Tzu, and you will kneel again when Lao Tzu tells you to kneel! Now stand up and speak well! ”

"Thank you...... Thank you, Lord Chen! Li Shuban stood up tremblingly.

"Kong Youde sent you here to persuade Lao Tzu to get lost and return to the city, right? Anyway, Lao Tzu is idle today, and listening to this kind of is regarded as a relief from boredom. Tell me, what conditions have been given to Lao Tzu? What official position was arranged for Lao Tzu on the Tartar side? ”

Li Shuban's face turned white, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "Lord Chen...... Master Chen misunderstood. King Gongshun had long heard of Lord Chen's prestige, and he had always admired such brave generals as Lord Chen. also knows that the hero's will cannot be forced, and he will not force Lord Chen to change his banner. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that there are some things that I hope Lord Chen can think about. Even if each side is its own master, it is not necessarily necessary to go toe-to-toe everywhere and break the bloodstream, and in some places, more opportunities will be beneficial and harmless to each other. ”

"Oh? How to change the method? Chen Youlong leaned back in his chair, his face not showing any annoyance, and even a hint of a smile. But after all, it was a warrior who rolled over in the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, even if he was not angry, that strong murderous aura was rushing to his face.

Li Shuban didn't even dare to raise his eyes, lowered his eyes and expounded in detail the words of Kong Youde, from the analysis of interests to the exchange of conditions between the two sides, it can be said that everything is comprehensive.

I have to say that Kong Youde still put some effort into this. The current entanglement of the Ming Dynasty forces in Huguang, the grievances and grievances between Huguang Town, the Governor Yamen and the rest of the military towns are well understood.

"Finished?"

"Say...... That's it. ”

The room was silent again, and even a pin could be heard falling on the ground. At this time, Li Shuban didn't raise his eyes, and he also felt a murderous aura slowly surrounding him. He was almost suffocating, and his brain was almost dead.

After a long time, Chen Youlong finally spoke, but it was not a reply to the negotiation conditions: "How many soldiers and horses did Kong Youde bring this time?" Who are the men leading the troops? How many cavalry, infantry, and sailors are there? What are the powerful firearms in the army? ”

This one...... Li Shuban really doesn't know very well, even if he is clear, he doesn't dare to say nonsense: "The villain is just a bookmaker, I really don't know." ”

"Really? Last year in Jingzhou, Lao Tzu asked a similar question to a person, and he really didn't know. Hehe, I really can't help him. However, Saion lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, but Lao Tzu got a good treasure from him. It's this wrench, how about you? Chen Youlong raised his right palm.

"Very good, very good, good texture, fine workmanship, good eyes of adults." Li Shuban was frightened and casually perfunctory.

"Haha, your vision is even better! Nothing could have been taken from his leg bones like this! ”

"Legs...... Yes! Spare your life! Spare your life! The villain really doesn't know, he really doesn't know! The villain is just a messenger, a messenger! Li Shuban woke up like a dream, screamed and fell to his knees again, howling and crying. There are also faint signs of dampness in the crotch.

"Hahaha......" Chen Youlong laughed, "Okay, Lao Tzu won't talk nonsense with you anymore." If Kong Youde asked you to bring it, Lao Tzu heard it. No matter how happy or angry Lao Tzu is, he can't kill you as an errand runner. But you're a little uninteresting, Lao Tzu listened to you patiently for so long, and after only asking a few questions, you kowtowed and peed your pants, what is this for? Alas, forget it! If you don't say it, don't say it. If you don't say it, Lao Tzu also knows, I wrote something casually here, you take it back to Kong Youde to see if what Lao Tzu said is right. ”

After speaking, he threw an unsealed envelope in front of Li Shuban.

"Thank you for not killing!" Li Shuban, who thought that he had escaped death, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and didn't even dare to ask Chen Youlong's answer to the negotiation conditions, so he waited for Chen Youlong to send a sentence early and let him leave this terrifying Hades Palace.

"This time, Kong Youde didn't rush to attack the city, but he let you say so many words first, which is really rare. It just so happens that Lao Tzu has a stomach and wants to talk to him for a long time, and he has been ready for a long time, so you can take it back with you. Chen Youlong threw another sealed envelope in front of Li Shuban, and beckoned to the door, "Come on, let him go!" ”

Two people walked in outside the door, blindfolded Li Shuban again, and walked out on one left and one right.

"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Chen! Li Shuban, whose back was already soaked, was finally relieved and said excitedly.

............

Li Shuban, who miraculously escaped from the Yama Palace, returned to the camp outside the city, handed over the two letters to Kong Youde, and repeated every word Chen Youlong said at that time almost intact.

Kong Youde didn't say anything after listening to it, and he didn't bother to see Li Shuban's embarrassing appearance again, so he waved his hand directly and asked him to get out.

Then, Kong Youde opened the unsealed envelope first, took out the paper inside and read it carefully, and a trace of solemnity gradually appeared on his face. Then he picked up the sealed envelope and flipped it, and the paper inside seemed to have several pages. And listening to Li Shuban, this is what Chen Youlong has been preparing for a long time. Could it be?

With a hint of curiosity, Kong Youde opened the envelope.

There were several blank pages inside, and only one page had three big words written on it: fuck your mother.
