In order to avoid suspicion, Baili Wuji took the lead in drinking it all. Liu Renzhen smiled and drank it all.

Liu Renzhen said loudly: "Good wine, this must be the world-famous drunken fairy bar?" ”

"Exactly."

Liu Renzhen smacked his mouth and asked, "Can you have another drink?" ”

Baili Wuji personally poured him full of wine, and Liu Renzhen drank it all again.

"I don't know if the king of Chu invited someone to come here, what is the matter to discuss?"

Baili Wuji smiled and said: "If this king wants to persuade Liu Jieshuai, I think it will not only insult Jieshuai, but also insult this king." I don't know if Liu Jieshuai agrees with this? ”

Liu Renzhen was stunned, this King of Chu really can't be underestimated, he has already made plans in his heart, if he opens his mouth to persuade him to surrender, he will be cursed by himself.

"Liu Jieshuai doesn't have to be suspicious, come and invite Li Jianxun, the envoy of Zhaowu Jiedu."

Liu Renzhen was stunned again, how could Zhaowu Jiedu make Li Jianxun return to the Chu State?

"Liu Jieshuai is not in a hurry, I will know in a while, come, and have another drink."

After a while, the guards brought Li Jianxun to.

Baili Wuji stood up and helped Li Jianxun and sat down.

"Li Jieshuai, this king has offended, don't blame it. Today, please tell Liu Jieshuai how your army collapsed and how long did it take before and after? ”

Li Jianxun explained in detail how the two armies met, how he set up a formation to attack, how he threw fire and thunder, and how he collapsed inexplicably.

When he heard that Li Jianxun's 20,000-strong army had collapsed in less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Renxun was shocked for the third time.

Baili Wuji said at this time: "Don't doubt Liu Jieshuai, this king invited you here this time." There is no intention of showing force, I just don't want to see the lives of people in misery again. 20,000 troops, 20,000 lives. 20,000 households, please also ask Liu Jieshuai to think twice. ”

Liu Renzhen pondered hard, and suddenly smiled, "The king of Chu is so scheming, he almost fell for you." But you didn't have gunpowder or anything in that firearm, so you came to deceive someone? ”

Baili Wuji sighed: "Since Liu Jieshuai is suspicious, this king's words are useless, let Li Jieshuai talk about whether the firearms under this king's command are sufficient." ”

Li Jianxun said: "Liu Jieshuai. I did see that the supply of the Chu army was smooth, from Yuanzhou to Jiangzhou, all of them were in the hands of the Chu army, so why was there a lack of supplies. ”

Liu Renzhen shook his head, Li Jianxun was already a prisoner, and his words could not be fully believed, "I have never seen it lightly, and I can't believe it." ”

Baili Wuji was helpless, and said to Liu Renzhen: "If Liu Jieshuai doesn't believe it. There is no way for this king, if you want to see it with your own eyes, you can go to the city of Jiangzhou to have a look, but. I'm afraid that Liu Jieshuai won't dare. ”

Liu Ren wanted to answer, why don't you dare, and then thought that this was probably a hundred miles of unscrupulous radical methods. He smiled and said no more.

Baili Wuji knows that he is suspicious, but this is really impossible to guarantee. It can only be Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

So stand up. He said to Liu Renzhen: "Liu Jieshuai, this king admires your reputation and pities the lives of those 20,000 soldiers, so he invited you to come to a meeting, but Liu Jieshuai has become suspicious, so this king will leave." After the end, he also asked Liu Jieshuai to take care of the soldiers, if he attacked the city, he could not go all out, so as to leave some fire for the Wuchang army. Leave. ”

After Baili Wuji finished speaking, he ordered the guards to take Li Jianxun away, and he also turned over and rode away.

Fang Cai ran out of a mile, and suddenly heard a loud shout from behind: "King Chu stays." ”

Baili Wuji turned around, and heard Liu Renzhen say loudly: "A certain letter that the king of Chu is not that sinister villain, so he will follow you into the city to have a look, but explain in advance, no matter what the situation is, the king of Chu must not stay in trouble, how about it?" ”

Baili Wuji Da Yan smiled and said: "Liu Jieshuai said, this king should answer, no matter what the situation is, give no difficulty Liu Li Shuai, this king swears here, if there is a violation, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." ”

Liu Renzhen smiled, ordered the guards to lead the horses, and led eight guards to run to Baili Wuji together.

The group then entered Jiangzhou City.

Baili Wuji asked people to collect the door panels and stand in the open space.

Then he ordered the musketeers to set up three rows at 15 zhang and fire a salvo at the door panel with a three-stage strike method.

Three rows of shots, just between a breath and a breath, the front row of door panels either penetrated, or cracked, or buckshot deep in.

Liu Renzhen was shocked, and hurriedly ran up to check the door panel, and then checked the musket.

"How many musket soldiers are there like this kind of King Chu?"

"Three thousand."

"How much is the firearm stuffed?"

Baili Wuji smiled, and asked people to pull ten transport trucks.

Lifting the covered tarpaulin and opening the wooden box, countless ammunition was displayed in front of Liu Renzhen's eyes.

Liu Renzhen collapsed at this moment.

There is no longer any possibility for Nantang. Liu Renzhen sighed in his heart.

Baili Wuji said: "This king knows that Liu Jieshuai is loyal, but this king thinks that loyalty to one person is small loyalty, loyalty to the country, and loyalty to the people is great loyalty." I don't know if Liu Jieshuai thinks so? ”

Liu Renzhen sighed and said: "The king of Chu thinks that abandoning the Southern Tang Dynasty and surrendering to the Chu State is great loyalty? ”

Baili Wuji shook his head, and said solemnly: "This is a fallacy, this king means that now the Khitan people are eyeing the Central Plains, and as generals, they should go north to fight against the Khitan and protect the people of the Central Plains, which is great loyalty." ”

Liu Renzhen smiled bitterly: "In this way, why should the king of Chu attack the Southern Tang Dynasty and go north to fight against the Khitan." ”

Baili Wuji said: "Competing with the Khitan is a duel between nations, if the Chu State wants to go north, it is necessary to open up the road to the north, otherwise, after going north, it will be hit in the back by the Southern Tang Dynasty, how to resist?" ”

Liu Renzhen was disheartened, seeing that even if it was a battle to the death, he had only pulled 20,000 soldiers to accompany him to the funeral, but how could the word loyalty be violated, and under the entanglement in his heart, he actually had the intention of death.

"A certain can't be loyal to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he won't turn his back on the Southern Tang Dynasty, the King of Chu is merciful, please be kind to a certain soldier under his command." After speaking, he drew his sword and wanted to cut his neck and kill himself.

Baili Wuji was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Liu Renzhen, and then ordered Liu Renzhen's personal guards to step forward and lower his sword.

"Liu Jieshuai is confused, this king did not force you to surrender to Chu, in this way, Liu Jieshuai led his troops back to Ezhou to station, as long as you do not attack Chu, this king will never send a soldier to Ezhou, and when this king opens up the road to the north, when the Northern Expedition, you will make a decision, so, okay?"

When Liu Renzhen heard this, he nodded unconsciously and agreed.

"Liu Jieshuai can't do stupid things anymore, leave a useful body, and lead the army to fight a decisive battle with the Khitan under the Great Wall in the coming day, how majestic is it? This is the only way to benefit the people of the world, and this can be called great loyalty. Baili Wuji incited.

Liu Renzhen's heart began to fluctuate, he had read the sage book since he was a child, and he understood this truth.

So, he saluted Baili Wuji and said: "The king of Chu is benevolent and righteous, and he will return to Ezhou to camp according to what the king of Chu said. ”

Baili Wuji replied: "A gentleman's word." ”

Liu Renzhen said: "It's hard to chase a horse. Leave. (To be continued......)
