Watching Li Liang ride away, Zhuge Qi's heart fell into deep worry, he felt that the Jin army had completely taken the initiative, and it was impossible for him to agree to such outrageous conditions.

But the ancestral precepts cannot be violated, and he decided to follow the admonition of his ancestors and never be a minister of the Jin Kingdom, even if he paid the price of the annihilation of the entire army.

In the direction of Luocheng, the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Shu Army that had just surrendered were resting in their respective camps, and the whole Luocheng was in harmony, and the people in the city lived with peace of mind, and there was no resistance to the Jin army.

In order not to disturb Hua'an's rest, Li Liang went to his camp tent and prepared to report the situation of persuasion to Hua'an early the next morning.

#####

At this time, in the imperial palace in Chengdu, Li Shi, the emperor of Shu, was sleeping on the dragon couch, and outside the door were several eunuchs and palace maids waiting, all of whom were so normal.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, ahhhh......hh

The palace maids and eunuchs who were keeping vigil were taken aback, and hurriedly opened the door of the dormitory, and walked in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you!" The palace maids and eunuchs who rushed into the dormitory shouted loudly.

When I walked into the dragon couch, all the eunuchs and palace maids were stunned, and Li Shi, the dignified king of a country, sat on the dragon couch with round eyes, holding a pillow in his arms, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were dripping on the pillow drop by drop.

"Your Majesty. The emperor ......" a eunuch stepped forward and called softly.

"Ahh Don't come, don't come, don't kill, don't kill. Li Shi hugged the pillow in his arms tightly with both hands, curled up in the corner of the dragon couch, and looked at the eunuch in front of him tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, it's a minion! You must be having nightmares. The little eunuch comforted Li Shi softly.

Li Shi fixed his mind, and after a closer look, the person in front of him was indeed a little eunuch who served him day and night. Instead of trying to kill their own villains. The nervous mood eased slightly, and the feelings became stable.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Assassin. What about the Assassins? "The general of the internal guard who patrols the night. led a group of subordinates to hear the news and rushed over. But seeing that the emperor and the palace maids and eunuchs were intact, and there were no traces of assassination at the scene, he frowned for a while.

The little eunuch looked back at the night watchman. He said softly: "General, there are no assassins here, the emperor has a nightmare, and it is not in the way." ”

Seeing the little eunuch say this, the general who was patrolling the night and the subordinates beside him were relieved.

At this time, Li Shi was completely sober, and he clearly remembered that if his ugliness just now spread, it would affect his image as the king of a country.

For this reason, he glared at the little eunuch and said angrily: "What did you just say. ”

"Your Majesty, the slave just said that the emperor has a nightmare." The little eunuch replied truthfully.

"Presumptuous, I am the king of a country, how can I have nightmares, come to someone, push it out, cut it down." Li Shi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he shouted loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The night patrol general responded with a fist clench, waved his hand, and ordered: "Pull out." ”

When the two internal guards heard the order, they hurriedly stepped forward, set up the little eunuch and walked out.

The confused little eunuch looked at Li Shi in horror and begged loudly: "Your Majesty, the slave is wronged!" Your Majesty, spare your life! ”

But the person Li Shi decided to kill would not change his mind temporarily, he looked coldly at the palace maids and eunuchs in the dormitory, and asked softly, "You guys, what did you see just now?" ”

"Click." At this moment, the sound of the little eunuch being beheaded came from outside the dormitory.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the dormitory couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly bowed their heads and replied: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids didn't see anything, they didn't see anything. ”

"I really didn't see anything." Li Shi asked coldly again.

"Didn't see it, didn't see anything." The palace maid and the eunuch hurriedly replied tremblingly.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Shi's mouth, and he moved his gaze to the soldiers who were patrolling the night, and asked, "What about you?" What do you see? ”

The night patrol soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and the leading general trembled, thought for a moment, and hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "Back to the emperor, there is a small eunuch in the palace who is making a loud noise and is very disrespectful to the emperor, and the last general has already killed this person." ”

Li Shi nodded when he heard this, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, you are all loyal to me, go down!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone in the dormitory withdrew from Li Shi's dormitory with trepidation.

After everyone withdrew from the dormitory, Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and then lay down on the dragon couch, and then went to sleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, in the direction of Luocheng, Hua'an got up early, and took more than a dozen personal soldiers to go around the Luocheng market, and then returned to his Chinese army tent.

"Oh, it's General Li, fast forward to the big tent." As soon as Hua An returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, he found that Li Liang had been waiting at the door of the big tent for a long time.

When Li Liang heard this, he made a slight gesture and followed Hua'an into the Chinese army's tent.

"How is it, is Zhuge Qi willing to surrender?" Hua An asked softly, in fact, from Li Liang's spiritless expression, it could be seen that he ran away in vain.

Li Liang shook his head, clenched his fists and replied truthfully: "General Hua, Zhuge Qi swore to the death on the grounds of ancestral training and refused to be loyal to the Great Jin, and put forward a request to return to Nanzhong. ”

"What do you mean to return to Nanzhong?" Huaan didn't understand for a while.

Li Liang explained: "General Hua, what Zhuge Qi means is that he is unwilling to be loyal to the Great Jin, either to fight with our army to the end, or the well water does not interfere with the river water, and returns to live in seclusion in the deep mountains of Nanzhong, and will never be an enemy of the Great Jin, nor will he be loyal to the Great Jin." ”

"Haha! This Zhuge Qi is quite loyal, he has been besieged on the mountain, and he still insists on his principles so much, do you think Ben will agree to let them go? Hua An said and looked at Li Liang.

Li Liang shook his head, he felt that Hua'an would not agree to such an unreasonable request from Zhuge Qi after occupying such a huge advantage.

Hua An smiled and said: "General Li, you guessed wrong, this Zhuge Qi, Ben will appreciate it very much, as long as he promises not to be an enemy of Da Jin again, this condition he proposed, Ben will be able to agree to him." ”

"General Hua is not afraid that Zhuge Qi will regret it, and he will continue to be the enemy of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future, so he can let the tiger return to the mountain and leave trouble!" Li Liang Zhengse said.

Hua An smiled and said loudly: "No, definitely not, Zhuge Qi can stick to the ancestral teachings in this situation, I will believe that such a person will not lose my trust, and even if Zhuge Qi repents, only a thousand people will not be able to set off any big storms." ”

"General Shengming, the last general will go to tell Zhuge Qi to stop the confrontation with our army and release the prisoners of our army." Li Liang said loudly.

Hua An nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "General Li, Zhuge Qi's troops have been trapped in Luofengpo for a few days, and the grain and grass must be insufficient. ”

Li Liang was greatly moved when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The general is so benevolent and righteous, but Zhuge Qi refuses to be attached, it is really pedantic!" ”

Hua An smiled and said, "After the prize, Ben Jiang is worried, Zhuge Qi suspects that the grain and grass are poisonous and refuses to eat it!" Ha ha! By the way, after the grain and grass are delivered, you tell Zhuge Qi that Ben will greatly admire Zhuge Wuhou and admire him very much, he can choose to return to Nanzhong from any road, Ben will never stop him, as long as he is not an enemy of our army, even if he stays in the mountains, and let Lei Storm and Li Yi lead five thousand men and horses from Luofeng Slope to Guò, go to Luocheng, and join me. ”

"Yes, General, the last general will do it." Li Liang accepted the order loudly and turned to leave the big tent.

"Big brother, big brother, the pro-military camp has been prepared and is ready to go." Wang San walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported loudly.

Hua An shook his head and said softly: "No need, the pro-military camp doesn't have to go, Wang San, you immediately gather five hundred baggage battalions, bring enough grain, grass and water, go to the West Gate, and hand them all over to General Li Liang, go quickly." ”

"Big brother, what are you doing here!" Wang San was immediately confused.

Hua An smiled and said, "Of course, it was sent to Zhuge Qi, carry out the order!" ”

"Ahh Yes, big brother. Wang San was very surprised, but he still obeyed Hua An's order.

Two moments later, Wang San handed over 500 soldiers and a large number of supplies to Li Liang, who was waiting at the west gate.

Seeing that the preparations were completed, Li Liang led the team and set off towards Luofengpo.

At noon, Li Liang and his entourage arrived at Luofengpo and sent a cavalry to report.

Zhuge Qi was distressed by the shortage of food and water, but when he saw Li Liang coming again and bringing a large number of vehicles, he led more than a dozen personal soldiers to meet him with a lucky heart.

Seeing Zhuge Qi coming over, Li Liang said angrily: "Zhuge Qi, you are really lucky, General Hua agreed to your request, and sent you grain, grass and water, as long as you keep your promise, no longer be an enemy of the Great Jin, the road back to Nanzhong, you choose, even if you stay here, General Hua is not to blame, so do it yourself!" Unload. After speaking, let the pro-military battalion behind him unload the supplies.

"General Li, did the chief general of the Jin army really agree to my request?" Zhuge Qi was a little skeptical.

Li Liang glanced at Zhuge Qi very unhappily, and said: "Yes, or I won't have sent you grain and rice, General Hua said that he admires Zhuge Wuhou very much and admires you very much, hum!" After saying that, he snorted.

Soon, all the supplies were carried up the mountain, and the 500 soldiers of the baggage battalion of the Northern Expeditionary Army also returned one after another, only Li Liang and a dozen of his own soldiers remained in place.

"General Li stays here, what else is going on?" Seeing that Li Liang did not return to Ruocheng directly, Zhuge Qi asked. (To be continued......)
