Lin Feng didn't come out at this time to persuade him, but to fight for interests.

"King Chu, General Pan, Lin has a request, and the two of them will be rewarded with some thin noodles." Lin Feng looked calm and spoke slowly.

Ma Xixu also just needed someone to ease the atmosphere on the field, so he immediately laughed and said loudly: "Special Envoy Lin, please speak." ”

Lin Feng pointed in the direction of Tanzhou City and said softly: "In Tanzhou City, there are several old friends of Lin, and they all have some small property. Lin wants to ask for convenience, this request is not too much, right? ”

Ma Xixu didn't say a word and turned to the coiling dragon.

Panlong Ha Lu laughed twice and replied in a rough voice: "Since you are a friend of Special Envoy Lin, it is naturally easy to say." However, on the battlefield, there are no eyes for knives and guns, how do you know that they are friends with Special Envoy Lin? ”

Lin Feng smiled, turned around and pointed to the Datang military flag standing behind him, and said loudly: "All old friends, there is my Datang Black Dragon Battle Flag on the door, and I also ask the King of Chu and General Pan to tell all the siege soldiers that if there is a mistake, Lin Mou's face is not good-looking." ”

Pan Long patted his chest and said loudly: "No problem, everything is wrapped up in me!" ”

After receiving Panlong's promise, Lin Feng turned his inquiring gaze to Ma Xixu again.

Ma Xicao was stunned for a moment, immediately reacted, and hurriedly said: "The Tang Battle Banner and our Chu State soldiers will naturally respect it very much, please don't worry about Special Envoy Lin!" ”

Speaking of this, Ma Xixu turned to the generals present and said loudly: "Wang Kui and Zhou Xingfeng are responsible for commanding the attack on the west gate of Tanzhou, He Jingzhen is in charge of the south gate, General Pan is in charge of the east gate, and the north gate is personally responsible for this king. Let's go! ”

Liu Yan's body turned back slightly, raised an old face, and hid a tear that slipped from the corner of his eye, feeling sad and indignant in his heart! From the first year of Tang Qianning (894 AD), Ma Yin immediately followed Liu Jianfeng to lead his troops into Hunan, and three years later was promoted to marshal, that is, according to Tanzhou. Now, Changsha Mansion, which has been under construction for nearly sixty years, has been shamelessly divided by the tribal army and Lin Feng!

Like Liu Yan, Wang Kui, Zhou Xingfeng and other generals were also silent, lowered their heads, and left the cabin on their own.

The military discussion in Langzhou broke up unhappily, and the emergency military discussion in Tanzhou City was even worse, and Ma Xiguang and a group of civil and military ministers were discouraged by the news of the loss of Xiangxi Road, and they lost their minds. The generals stationed outside arrived one after another, and without exception, the first thing they did was to scold Han Li, the commander of the infantry army, who was still unconscious.

Every time a general comes back, everyone will be scolded by him for Han Li, careless use of troops, improper strategy, poor handling, false reputation, weakness and incompetence...... All sorts of accusations come out in a variety of ways.

Before the official start of the military discussion, Li Yanwen, who was stationed at the camel mouth, also led 3,000 cavalry back to Tanzhou City, and Li Yanwen, who was frightened, rode straight to the palace of the king of Chu.

Of course, Li Yanwen was even more aggrieved, and his mouth was full of words, saying bitterly that because Han Li lost the Yangliu Bridge on the left, his cavalry on the right side had actually become a lone soldier hanging outside, and he could be attacked at any time, and for the safety of Tanzhou City, he had to lead the army to retreat.

Ma Xiguang sat on the dragon throne like a pile of rotten meat, his eyes glazed, and these quarrels in his ears didn't seem to affect him at all.

"Shut up!" A trembling shout suddenly sounded from the corner, and the speaker was none other than the old Tuoba Heng, who stood there blankly, with tears on his face, staring vacantly at the top of the Nine Dragons Hall hidden in the darkness.

All the civil and military forces were shocked, and the audience fell silent. Immediately, there was an even louder noise.

Liu Yingyao, the commander of the camp, quietly walked up and shook Ma Xiguang a few times in a row. Ma Xiguang finally came back to his senses and stared at Liu Yingyan stupidly.

"King Chu, the battle situation is critical now, and I have to consider a perfect strategy. Chen and Li Yanwen can lead the cavalry to protect the king of Chu if necessary! Liu Yingyu came to the front and whispered.

Ma Xiguang shook his head vigorously, wanting to shake off his decadent mood, and showed an ugly expression on his face that was better than crying.

Run, where to run? The north and west of Tanzhou have been fully controlled by Lao San's soldiers and horses, and it is believed that the east and south will soon be surrounded. Even if you are lucky enough to escape the encirclement, where do you go? The mountains and rivers in the west are heavy, and if you can't run far, you will definitely be caught up; Jing Nan in the north can't be relied on at all, and he will definitely rob his belongings and give himself to the third child; Nantang in the east has already chosen to stand on the third side, and he can't go; The Ning Yuan army and the Jingjiang army in the south can't go, and the two brothers who don't make it are afraid that they will tie themselves up and send them to the third child as soon as possible, and then go south, then Liu Sheng, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, has been on the border of Chu since the year before last, and has repeatedly violated the border, and he has long wanted to bite off a piece of meat from Chu State, let alone enter the tiger's mouth. The world is so big, but there is no place for me to go!

As if suddenly awakened, Ma Xiguang stood up abruptly and shouted in a broken voice: "Another 100,000 Guan Mansion silver, immediately reward the soldiers who defend the city!" ”

A ray of evening sunlight shone into the hall, and Ma Xiguang stood in the shadow of the light, his hands fluttering, and the corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth, like crazy, with an indescribable desolation.

The king of Chu finally spoke, and the noise below suddenly became much quieter. The commander of Zhan Di, Xu Qiong, got up and said: "King Chu, at present, only my Jinbei naval army is still holding out outside the city, please hand over the defense of the Xuanwu Gate on the north wall to the minister, so that the minister can dispatch troops at any time." Even if the enemy is defeated, more than 10,000 soldiers on the ship can be withdrawn to the city and increase the number of troops defending the city. ”

Ma Xiguang slumped back in his seat, waved his hand, and agreed.

Since then, no more generals have spoken. Ma Xiguang stood up and shouted with his face into the sky: "This king accumulates good virtues and scatters money, and I hope that all the Qing families will work hard to go to the national disaster together!" Remember, this king and all of your relatives are in the city praying for everyone! ”

Ma Xiguang's words sound very benevolent, but they are actually a threat. Long before the siege of Tanzhou City, he had already instructed his guards to "invite" all the relatives of the generals stationed abroad to the palace of the king of Chu.

Speaking of this, Ma Xiguang waved his hand, and a large group of soldiers rushed in from outside the door, carrying a dozen or so women and children who wept bitterly.

"Han Li and Zhao Yu's family!" Some generals recognized the tied woman and exclaimed.

Ma Xiguang glanced at him, and the leader of the personal guards slashed at Lu with his right hand, and several soldiers swung their broadswords and slashed at Zhao Yu's young wife, seven-year-old son, and three-year-old daughter at the same time.

The sound of crying stopped abruptly, and the three-chambered hot blood splashed out far away, and a small stream happened to spray on the face of Han Li's old wife next to her, she screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted directly.

"Zhao Yu surrendered to the enemy, causing trouble to his family, and there is no forgiveness for killing! Han Li was captured and injured in battle, lost Yangliuqiao, and all his family members were put in prison! Ma Xiguang said viciously, turning around and walking towards the Buddha hall in the back room. It's just that his steps are high and low, as if he is stepping on clouds, and he has lost his sense and consciousness.

The generals and ministers left silently one by one. Xu Qiong took two personal entourage, left the palace of the king of Chu on horseback, went out of the Xuanwu Gate, and went straight to the Jinbei ferry to command the boat.

As soon as he entered the bottom compartment of the command ship, Ma Xichong, a smiling overseer, greeted him and excitedly raised a small burden in his hand to Xu Qiong.

Xu Qiong opened it and saw that it was a delicate cyan jade seal. He walked two quick steps, came to the front of several cases, dipped in mud, and pressed the paper. As soon as the hand was raised, the white paper left four bright red italics: the treasure seal of the king of Chu.

Ma Xichong leaned over and said softly, "This is something that my brother just sent. My brother said that as long as General Xu acts as promised tomorrow, the areas east of the main stream of the Xiangjiang River will be returned to Brother Xu and become the territory of the new King of Chu! ”

There are still 12 prefectures to the east of the main stream of the Xiangjiang River, which is exactly half of the existing 25 prefectures of the Chu State.

Xu Qiong gently wiped off the overflowing danmud on the edge of the word "king" on the paper with her hand, glanced at a trace of bright red on her fingers, nodded slightly, and replied softly: "As you wish!" ”
