The battle on the head of the city, the deserters and pursuers under the city were also stunned, and they never thought that the first person to fight was not Li Xin and Qi Gongshun, but Yu Wenbao and Qi Gongshun, two allies, who started a fight in an instant.

However, it is simply that Yuwenbao has very few soldiers and horses, but more than 100 people, although Yuwenbao is extremely fierce, but it was soon drowned in the Beihai soldiers, and the city was full of blood.

"Father, I'm sorry." Qi Yanshan also felt that he had made a big mistake, his face showed remorse, and the long knife in his hand also fell to the ground.

"Father, it's all my fault. He also asked his father to punish him. Qi Yanfei also stepped forward in a low voice and said.

"Hey! You are all grown up, and you have to take responsibility for what you do. Qi Gongshun looked at the side, Yu Wenbao was already lying on the city wall, dead and blind, his eyes seemed to be staring at Qi Gongshun.

"Father, what now?" Qi Yanshan looked at Qi Gongshun and said a little nervously: "We kill Yuwenbao now, it is better for my father to give my two brothers to the King of Qi and let the King of Qi fall, so that my father can be spared from death." ”

"We have no chance of backing down." Qi Gongshun seemed to be a little older, looked into the distance, and said: "Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, is a person who will repay him, and if we kill his people, even if Li Jiancheng protects us, Li Jiancheng will not offend Li Yuanji because of us." Li Yuanji will never let us go. ”

"Father said he wanted to take refuge in Li Xin?" Qi Yanfei couldn't help but say: "Now Li Xin is sunset, and he is about to be destroyed by the prince and the king of Qi. Qi Yanshan also nodded again and again.

At this time, the two brothers regretted it a little. I knew that the two of us had just been a lot more impulsive and had done something wrong. It's just that the problem is big, and it's not for Dengzhou to advance, and it's not for you to retreat.

"Open the city gate and let Yancheng and Mr. Liu in." Qi Gongshun looked at the big flag in the distance, and on it was Wei Chigong's big flag. Qi Gongshun knew that Wei Chigong would never attack the city.

Sure enough, the city gate opened, and Wei Chigong did not rashly attack Dengzhou City, but slowly withdrew his troops. Qi Yancheng and Liu Lan successfully entered Beihai Cheng. There was no joy on the faces of the two who escaped death, and everything that happened on the city wall let the two know the situation that Dengzhou City was facing now.

"General." Liu Lan showed a slight look of regret, seeing that Li Xin was about to be killed, Qi Gongshun also blocked Li Xin. Outstanding meritorious service, in the future will be a sure thing. But now it's better to kill Yuwenbao on the city wall.

Should Yuwenbao be killed? That should be killed, but it can't be now, Yuwenbao is Li Yuanji's confidant, kill Yuwenbao, Li Yuanji will definitely find trouble with Qi Gongshun.

"Ah, sir. Now do you think Tang Huang still has a chance to turn over? Qi Gongshun sighed, and now there is only one way to take refuge in Li Xin. in order to save the lives of his family.

"There is still a glimmer of life, it depends on the general." Liu Lan thought for a while and said.

"Oh!" Qi Gongshun's eyes lit up, looked at Liu Lan, and said, "Sir, please speak." ”

"Dedicated to Dengzhou, the Tang Emperor relied on Dengzhou to support it for half a year." Liu Lan thought for a while, and then said: "There are hundreds of ships in Dengzhou. Ask the Tang Emperor to sail out of Dengzhou, but if this is the case, I am afraid that the Tang Emperor will have to abandon tens of thousands of soldiers. The subordinates look at the Tang Emperor, and they may choose the former. ”

"Tang Wang is benevolent, so he will naturally choose the former. It's just that now the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are gathered in the Guanzhong area, and most of them are restrained by Li Zhao, and there is not much grain and grass in Dengzhou itself, how can it support tens of thousands of troops for half a year? Qi Gongshun shook his head and said.

"How's that to be?" Qi Yanfei said nervously. He was so remorseful at this time that he wanted to die, and he wanted to kill himself and ask Li Yuanji to forgive himself.

"Since there is still a glimmer of hope, we can't give up, Li Yuanji is narrow-minded, and he will definitely not let us go." Qi Gongshun thought about it and sighed. In any case, taking refuge in Li Yuanji is definitely the death of the whole family, and if you return to Li Xin, there may be a glimmer of life. Qi Gongshun finally decided to submit to Li Xin.

"Since the general has made a decision, then hurry up to see Emperor Tang, otherwise, in order to survive, Emperor Tang will definitely attack Dengzhou immediately, and at that time, it is impossible to return to obedience." Liu Lan hurriedly said.

"Okay, the old man will go to see Emperor Tang in person." Qi Gongshun stood up and said: "Two hours later, if the old man does not come back, you will return to Li Zhao, if the King of Qi asks about today's affairs, just say that you are on the order of the old man to kill Yuwenbao, so that even if the King of Qi wants to settle accounts with you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will protect your safety." ”

"General." Liu Lan arched her hand and said, "Let's go down!" ”

"No, you can't, the other party is His Majesty the Emperor, self-made, how can he care about you, let's go old man!" Qi Gongshun also knew that he should hurry up to see Li Xin at this time, otherwise, Li Xin would have to send troops if he couldn't get it right. Everyone also knew that this was a helpless thing, so they had to agree with Qi Gongshun's words.

"Congratulations to my father (general)." Everyone sent Qi Gongshun under the city gate, and they couldn't help but feel a little miserable.

"Don't worry, Li Xinai is a masterpiece of a generation, even if he won't agree to our surrender, he won't kill the old man." Qi Gongshun smiled and comforted everyone and said: "If he doesn't have the capacity to tolerate people, how can he become the Son of Heaven?" Saying that, Qi Gongshun rode a white horse and laughed out of the city gate.

"If Li Xin really dares to kill his father, I swear that one day, I will cut off Li Xin's head." Qi Yanfei said loudly.

Ten miles outside the city, Li Xin's army stopped there quietly, there was no sign of camping, just standing there quietly, Chu Suiliang beside him showed an inexplicable look on his face, and Luo Shixin and Wei Chigong looked a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, look, Qi Gongshun is here." Chu Suiliang pointed to the old man who came slowly in the distance, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really clever, it seems that Qi Gongshun is really going to submit to my Tang Dynasty." ”

"He killed Yu Wenbao, that is Li Yuanji's confidant, Li Yuanji This is the person who wants to compete for the position of the crown prince, there are very few talents in themselves, and the death of a Yuwenbao can be imagined, the blow to him can be imagined, even if Qi Gongshun dies a hundred times, I am afraid it will not be able to offset his crime. Qi Gongshun also knew Li Yuanji's character, so he was forced to return to me. Li Xin shook his head, gently urged the war horse, and stepped forward.

"The guilty minister Qi Gongshun paid a visit to His Majesty, and he returned late, and asked His Majesty to forgive his sins." When Qi Gongshun saw Li Xin coming on horseback, he was terrified, and he knelt on the ground after a long distance and said loudly.

"Why, the general who killed the King of Qi had to surrender to my Tang Dynasty?" Li Xin looked at Qi Gongshun on the ground, and he didn't see any joy or anger on his face, but said very calmly.

Qi Gongshun showed embarrassment on his face, he really had nothing to say about this sentence, didn't he come to surrender because he killed Li Yuanji's generals, and he had to surrender?

"The sinner is guilty." Qi Gongshun bowed his head and said.

"Get up!" Li Xin said very calmly: "Do you know why I spared you? ”

"I don't know." Qi Gongshun thought in his heart that Li Xin needed Dengzhou and used Dengzhou to resist Li Jiancheng, but this sentence was not easy to say.

"You must have thought that I needed Dengzhou and used Dengzhou to defend against Li Jiancheng's hundreds of thousands of troops, right?" Li Xin seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, and said disdainfully: "Although Dengzhou is strong, I can capture Dengzhou in just one day, do I still need you to surrender?" I don't kill you, not because of anything else, but because you have made meritorious contributions to governing Dengzhou and Laizhou, although it can't be said that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but at least they can live a peaceful life, in the troubled times, this is quite rare, I see that you are still a person with a conscience, so I spared your life, otherwise, according to what you did today, it is not too much for me to kill you. ”

Qi Gongshun was drenched in cold sweat when he was said, but he didn't dare to speak, but said yes again and again, and sighed slightly in his heart, he was able to survive, but he didn't expect it to be because of this.

"Don't think I'm lying to you." Li Xinyang pointed to the distance and said, "Is the sailor camp in Dengzhou still there?" ”

"This? It's still there. It's just that there is no water master in the hands of the criminals, and it has been sorted out over the years. Qi Gongshun heard Li Xin say this, and knew that Li Xin really decided to leave Dengzhou with the help of the power of the Dengzhou Navy warship, sighed slightly in his heart, and glanced at the army in the distance, although these soldiers were invincible under the leadership of Li Xin, but months of conquest, so that the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, and the armor was full of dark red bloodstains, which showed the hard work of the campaign. But I didn't expect Li Xin to abandon most of the people in it today. Sure enough, the bones will be dry, and the emperor is even more so.

"Shixin, lead the army into Dengzhou, Ji Gang, collect all the people in Dengzhou City who can build ships and know water, and bring them to Jiangnan tomorrow." Li Xin commanded.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there are only more than 100 Dengzhou Navy Commander warships, and it is difficult to fit so many people." Qi Gongshun hurriedly said.

"If I rely on your Dengzhou Navy Warrior warship, then I won't come to Dengzhou, how about my 60,000 athletes." Li Xin said with a smile: "I can't hide it, in the sea off Dengzhou, I'm afraid there are more than 1,000 warships waiting for me at this time." Before setting out on the expedition, I secretly ordered Qin Qiong, Kan Ling and Wang Xiongdan to sit in Jiangnan, collecting the major naval warships in Jiangnan, the sea ships in the Quanzhou area, and the various warships built, and more than 1,000 warships were still easily available. As long as I give out the signal, Qin Qiong will definitely lead a big ship to meet me. ”

"Ahh It turned out that the emperor had already prepared. No wonder this is the case. After hearing this, Qi Gongshun was surprised and delighted, but he didn't expect the peak to turn around. Li Xin had been prepared for a long time. (To be continued......)
