The news of the destruction of the Xingyang ships was delivered to the hands of the King of Qi Huang Fu the next night, and more than 400 warships were wiped out together with 300,000 stone grains, which made the Huang Fu Shen jump like thunder and be furious, and the sharp new weapons of the Chu army pressed a heavy stone on his heart, but the granary was safe and made him feel more or less lucky, this anger, luck and inexplicable panic emotions were intertwined, making his heart a mess, he didn't want to see anyone, and even the strategists were rejected by him outside the big tent.

At night, Gao Gao Ye's own camp tent was also difficult to calm down for a long time, he stared at the map on the table, and repeatedly considered the intention of the Chu army to attack and destroy the military ships, destroying the water transportation lines of the Qi army was certainly one of the main purposes of Huangfu Wujin, but it was probably his real intention to hit the morale of the Qi army.

Qizhou has been occupied by Chuzhou, and most of the families of the Qi army have fallen into the hands of the Chu army, which has shaken the heart of the Qi army, which is also aware of this, but the only thing that made him miscalculate is that the Chu army marched slowly, and actually stopped in Dongjun and did not leave.

Gao Gao has a feeling that it is difficult to ride a tiger, at the beginning he gave the king of Qi three strategies, and finally the king of Qi chose the middle strategy, staying in Yuzhou and the Chu army for a decisive battle, but now the Chu army seems to be unwilling to fight with them, and formed a state of confrontation, and now he is returning to Qizhou, so what should Luo Jing do? has been fighting for nearly half a month, and seeing that the city is about to be broken, it is impossible to give up easily.

Gao Gao has already begun to feel that Luo Jing is a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it, and he is helpless.

Depressed, he walked out of the big tent with his hands behind his back, patrolling the camp, he deliberately did not bring his entourage, walked alone in the soldiers' tent, next to a bright tent, stopped high, the tent was very thin, you can see many figures inside, as if there were more than 20 people gathering, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly came up.

"Xiaolang, if you want to open a little, your parents will be fine, Chu Jun is not a brutal person, Huangfu Wujin is to seize the world, and he will definitely treat the people well."

"But my father's leg is broken, my mother's health is not good, my brother-in-law is extremely stingy, I don't go back, who will feed them, no, I'll leave tonight!"

Listening to the voice, this young man named Xiaolang was not very old, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, at this time, another veteran with a slightly older voice sighed: "Don't be stupid, when the deserter catches the person who wants to kill the head, bear with it!" ”

Another person said angrily: "Brother Wang, you are good at everything, but you are too cowardly, what is it meant to endure it, my wife and children are all in my hometown, I heard that Qizhou is going to redivide the land, and now it is registered in Dingkou, and those who are not at home have no share, if you don't go back, I want to go back!" ”

"Zhao San, we also heard that Qizhou is going to redivide the land, is it true or false?" Several people asked in unison.

"This ..... Anyway, it is rumored in the barracks, it is estimated that the land will be redivided, and the firearms of the Chu army, which exploded a few hundred steps away, can't be avoided at all, I don't want to fight this battle, I will go with Xiaolang tonight, can you go? ”

There was a lot of noise in the camp, some said to leave, some said to think again, and at this time, suddenly someone shouted, "Stop arguing, listen!" ”

Gao Gao also heard it, someone was blowing the flute, the sound of the flute was whimpering and desolate, echoing over the barracks, this is the homesick song in the Donglai area of Qizhou, and many people also sang in a low voice, 'In the past, I went to the past, and the willows were still there; Now I think about it, the rain and snow are flying; Thinking of returning, thinking of returning, parents leaning on the door, gray hair, wife facing the mountain, face and hard work......

Gao Gao sighed in his heart, he couldn't drag it out any longer, he had to give up Luojing Jingjing, he turned around and walked quickly towards King Qi's camp.

........ "No! ”

Huangfu resolutely rejected the lofty proposal, "In order to attack Luojing, I spent food, killed and injured more than 50,000 people, and even lost Qizhou, seeing that the city was about to be broken, but asked me to give up Luojing Jinggui and return, I will never do it!" ”

"But the morale of the sergeants is low, they are eager to return home, they are afraid of mutiny, Your Highness, Luo Jing is dispensable, but the military spirit cannot be lost, which is more important, I hope Your Highness will think twice!"

"Who said that Luo Jing can have it!"

Huangfu looked at Gao Gao coldly, "I am looking forward to entering Luojing, it has been more than one day, if I don't ascend to the position of Jiuding, if I don't enter the palace of crape myrtle, I have traveled thousands of miles, what are I doing in Yuzhou?" ”

High and anxious, what's the use of having Ziwei Palace, ascending the throne in such a hurry, it will only be spurned by the world, when did the emperor become so eager for quick success?

"Your Highness....."

Gao Gao still wanted to persuade again, but Huangfu didn't want to listen to it anymore, he waved his hand to interrupt him, "Don't persuade him anymore, I know in my heart, the morale of the army is low, I will reward you if you capture Luojing, you should think about it for me, how to defeat Luojing as soon as possible!" ”

As soon as Huangfu finished speaking, a personal soldier came to report at the door of the tent, "Your Highness, Shao Jingwen, the general of the Yongzhou Army, has something important to ask to see!" ”

The emperor was stunned, then overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Please come in quickly!" ”

Shao Jingwen is the second person in the Yongzhou Army, his arrival, there must be something important, Gao Gao but a little worried, with the Huangfu Chen's current mentality of quick success, I am afraid that he will be used by the Yongzhou side, he hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness must not easily agree to anything, Yongzhou has ill intentions, and his subordinates are very worried that they will take the opportunity to fall into the well." ”

Originally, Huang Fu was a little dissatisfied with Gao, but his words made Huang Fu even more unhappy, and he said with a sinking face: "I'm not a three-year-old child, I will judge Yongzhou's intentions, you retreat!" ”

In the conversation with Shao Jingwen, he was not allowed to participate in Gao Gao, and Gao Gao had no choice but to retreat.

After a while, Shao Jingwen was led in by his own soldiers, and he knelt down on one knee and saluted, "The last general, Shao Jingwen, see His Royal Highness the King of Qi!" ”

In the past, Huangfu and Shao Jingwen had dealt with him several times, he knew that this person was shrewd and capable, and he was Uncle Shen's first confidant, and now he had 100,000 troops in his hands, so he couldn't be despised for it, so he hurriedly smiled and helped him up, "General Shao is exempt, please take a seat!" ”

"Your Highness!"

Shao Jingwen sat down, and a concubine served him tea, Shao Jingwen thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "I heard that the princess and the prince have returned to the barracks, congratulations to Your Highness on the reunion of the whole family." ”

"Hey! It was also a good personal guard, and he almost encountered the Chu army in Lu County, which was only thirty miles away. ”

Huangfu also sighed that his wife and daughter finally fled back to the army a few days ago, and the things that had been worrying him were finally resolved, and the whole family was safe, which made him happy for several days, but now his mind was all on Luo Jing, and he also wanted to talk to Shao Jingwen about the attack on Luo Jing.

"I don't know if General Shao is looking for me, what's the matter?"

Shao Jingwen smiled and said, "I was ordered to negotiate with His Highness, and there are two main important things. ”

"General Shao, please speak, I'll listen to you!"

"The first thing is to discuss with His Highness about dealing with the Chu army, and the Empress Dowager Shen has decided that the Yongzhou army will fully cooperate with the Qi army to attack the Chu army and help His Highness restore Qizhou and Youzhou."

"Oh!"

Huangfu sighed, but did not show excitement, he knew very well that there was no free lunch in the world, the Yongzhou army would help him, there would be no conditions, help him restore Qizhou, and Huangfu Wujin to start a war, this condition will not be low, he smiled faintly, "What are the conditions for the Empress Dowager Shen?" ”

"Of course, there is a little bit of condition!"

Shao Jingwen was not polite, so he said bluntly: "After defeating Huangfu Wujin, with Dongjun as the boundary, and the west of Dongjun will return to Yongzhou, His Highness's army will return to Qizhou, of course, Luojing is still according to the original agreement, Luoshui has been bounded, and half of the family is half." ”

Huangfu Yan showed a bitter smile on his face, without Yuzhou, what is the point of taking half of Luojing, is it possible for him to ascend the throne in someone else's place? If he gave up Yuzhou, he spent money on Fermi, suffered countless casualties, and in the end he got nothing, and made a wedding dress for Yongzhou, and in the end, Youzhou may not be able to get it back, after all, it is the territory of the former King of Zhao, and it does not belong to him.

"Let me think about this matter, and I'll reply in a few days, and General Shao will talk about the second thing!"

Shao Jingwen knew that he would not agree so easily, so he urged him, and said with a smile: "The second thing is to discuss with His Highness how to take Luo Jing as soon as possible." ”

This emperor was very interested, and he hurriedly said, "General Shao, please speak!" ”

Shao Jingwen smiled slightly, "Luojing has been attacking for half a month, the defenders are exhausted, and Luojing City is not as united as it was at the beginning, according to the news in the city, Zhang Jinjie has done a few unpopular things, we consider using a strategy, hoping to get the cooperation of His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

．．．．．．．． Luojing City is in a mess, holding the city for half a month, the defenders under the leadership of the general Li Mi and Xiangguo Zhang Jinjie, repelled the Yongqi coalition army attack again and again, so that the Yongqi coalition army was killed and wounded more than 100,000, but the defenders also paid a heavy price, the defenders from the initial 10,000, recruited to 70,000, and now reduced to less than 30,000, most of the dead and wounded.

What's worse is that the casualties are too high, making it very difficult for the defenders to recruit new soldiers, joining the army is equivalent to sending them to death, not many people are willing to send their sons to the city, and at the same time the treasury is almost exhausted, in addition to a little food, the treasury silver and light goods have been exhausted, originally Daning army, everyone's will to resist is not strong, mainly relying on high money to maintain morale, now the defenders are paid silver by the day, a day to 100,000 silver, a huge amount of silver plus pensions so that the treasury has been empty, not only no silver to recruit new soldiers, Even the payment of salaries was difficult, and they had to pay their debts, and their morale fell, and the soldiers began to complain.

But Zhang Jinjie did not dare to raise the price of grain, which would cause a popular uprising, and in desperation, Zhang Jinjie had to use his last killer weapon and began to raid the house under the pretext of collaborating with the enemy, specifically targeting the royal family and the magnates, and copied twelve powerful families overnight, got one million taels of silver, and repaid the debts, and barely lasted for six or seven days, but the crisis of Zhang Jinjie appeared.
