Cai Yu and Xu Xian glanced at each other, seeing that the Song people actually broke the city and arrived at the palace gate, he had already lost his will to fight in his heart, and the words just now were just to say the surrender tactfully, this Song General didn't know whether he didn't understand, or he wanted to deliberately humiliate. Cai Yu sighed, his lips opened lightly, and he was about to speak, when a few rough words suddenly came from outside the door: "If you want to fight, you will fight!" "We will accompany you to the end!" "Rats!" "Fight with a knife and a gun!!"

The door of the temple was pushed open with a bang, and a cold wind with raindrops poured in, causing several people in the room to shiver. Lu Jiang, Hu Ze, Yu Yan, Wu Yingying's four major military generals rushed in, all four of them were wearing iron armor, hanging sharp blades from their waists, Wu Yingying and Hu Ze still had blood stains on their bodies, and when they came in, they had a bad breath on their faces, and they collided so that the red candles in the hall were beating endlessly, and the sound of gold and iron resonating sounded, and the gloomy face was made by the four major knots, so that the air in the hall seemed to be a few degrees lower.

It turned out that the four of them sent their own soldiers to send a message to the forbidden middle were isolated by the Song soldiers, and after returning, the envoys of each section felt that the matter was very important, and at this time the battle situation in various parts of the city wall had stabilized, so they coincidentally led the elite tooth army to relieve the siege. The Song army was tired after a night of fierce fighting, and lost the benefit of the sneak attack, and the Jinling city wall was so tall that it could not be attacked in one day and one night, and most of the Song generals such as Cao Bin withdrew the elite such as the Ya army to rest, leaving only part of the army to continue to attack, intending not to let the Tang army in the city rest. At this moment, there are 5,000 elites of the Tang army in front of Hongqiao outside the palace gate, surrounding the 300 Song legions, and just waiting for the palace to decide, they will be broken into 10,000 pieces.

Hearing that Cao Han, the general of the Song army, came for a forced landing, and had been invited by Prime Minister Xu Chengyan, all the generals were in a hurry, for fear that His Majesty would rashly agree to surrender to the Song Dynasty under the prodding of Wenchen, Lu Jiang took the lead, Wu Yingying and Hu Ze said together that they were moving, and the four of them couldn't wait for the eunuch to ask to see each other and enter together.

The sentence just now, "If you want to fight, you will fight" is the Wuchang Army Jiedu envoy and the commander of the Shenwei Army, Wu Yingying blurted out, "Accompany to the end!" from the mouth of Lu Jiang, the envoy of the Zhaowu Festival and the commander of the Lingbo Army, "Rats!" is the Xuanzhou Jiedu envoy and the commander of the Tiande Army, Hu Ze scolded angrily, and the one who wants to "fight with a clear sword and a gun" is the commander of the forbidden army, and the envoy of Chengde Jiedu and the commander of Heiyundu, the elite Tang army of more than 50,000 people held by these four major festivals, is the last backbone of the defense of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that the peace agreement was about to be completed, he didn't want such a military minister to hear the rumors out of nowhere to stir up the situation, Zhang Xun immediately scolded: "You and the others have not been summoned to enter, and you are armed to face the king, but do you want to rebel and make trouble?" He didn't mention the major event of the war and surrender, and first took the hat of the minister to buckle a few military generals, just wanted to suppress their arrogance first.

Xu Xian saw the four generals coming in, and he was about to reprimand him for being arrogant, but seeing that the four of them had unkind faces, they pressed the hilt of the sword with their hands, and swallowed back the words to their mouths, secretly remembering the time when Huangfu Jixun commanded the Divine Guard, the two joined forces to suppress Lin Zhaoren and other military generals. Thinking of this section, I can't help but secretly cry out in my heart: You are willing to find death, why bother to pull the old man and bring the people of Jinling all over the city to be martyred for you!

Cao Han was suddenly in his heart, since the Tang army dared to return to the palace to face the saint, he wanted to come to the battle situation on the east city wall had been stabilized, and the situation here was indeed not good. Wu Qiao was overjoyed, he immediately sent someone out to inform the generals of the situation of returning to Dongcheng, and informed the Song army of the threat of a forced landing at the palace gate, and finally came to help at a critical time.

Although Wu Yingying has shallow qualifications and his status is not as good as the other three generals, he is articulate, known for his resourcefulness, and he is the first heavy general to rush to the gap in the east city wall to command the battle, so he first bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Song people blew down a small section of the east city wall with gunpowder, in a vain attempt to seize the city, the soldiers fought bravely, and the Song army has been driven out, and the city wall is being repaired day and night. ”

Hu Zeye said: "The ministers are guilty, and they actually let the three hundred Song troops infiltrate the city, so as to disturb the holy car, I have mobilized troops to surround the troops, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, no one will be left, as easy as slaughtering chickens and killing sheep." In his words, he pointed out that the Song army that entered the city was only 300 people, and it was just infiltration, not that the city was broken. And these infiltrated Song troops are just meat on the case.

Cao Han was shocked when he heard this, thinking that Hu Ze was acting so ruthlessly, he couldn't help but stare at him angrily, and Hu Ze also glared back unceremoniously.

Yu Yan said again: "After a night of fierce fighting, the Song army could not seize the city, and they were already depressed. If our army takes advantage of the situation to kill out of the city and trample on the enemy's camp, the Song people will surely suffer heavy casualties. ”

Lu Jiang also said: "The Lingbo army is willing to advance with Heiyundu by land and water, and vow to let the Song people know that our Jiangnan cannot be insulted." ”

Seeing that the Jinling generals said a word to me, and Cai Yu hesitated again, Cao Han was in a hurry, stepped forward and said: "Cai Yu, do you want to regret it?

"You dare," Hu Ze saw him threatening, stepped forward with his hand on the hilt of his sword, and said angrily, "I will chop you into meat paste now!"

Cao Han is also a single personality, his brows twisted, he took half a step forward, held down the waist knife and said horizontally: "There is a kind of you try?"

Seeing the tension between the two sides, Xu Xian was so anxious that he hurriedly stood between Hu Ze and Cao Han, and said with a smile on his face: "The two generals are slow and angry, listen to me." Zhang Xun didn't wait for the two to answer, and said to Hu Ze first: "General Hu, there is a way that the two countries do not cut off the two countries, and besides, what an important place is forbidden to China, how can you use swords and soldiers in vain!"

Hu Zezao saw that he was not used to it, and he was about to turn his lips and shout angrily, but he heard Cai Yu sigh and said: "That's it, that's it, for my Cai family, I have a surname, and I have been slaughtered by millions of living beings in Jiangnan, and I am guilty of a lot of crimes." Standing tall, with the respect of a country, he actually bowed to Cao Han and bowed, and said in a low voice: "Please ask General Cao to return to the capital to deploy the adults, Jiangnan Cai's disobedience to the Son of Heaven, alarming the soldiers to come south, Chongguang is willing to surrender with the meat before the capital, all the sins are the fault of Chongguang alone, and I hope that the generals will have the virtue of a good life in heaven, restrain the soldiers, and don't hurt the people of Jinling." ”

If he didn't open his mouth, he was like this, which shocked Wu Qiao, Lu Jiang and others, and the four generals of the army were inconvenient to kneel and worship, and they were stunned for a while and didn't know what to do. Wu Qiao immediately knelt on the ground, touched his head to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Jiangnan has its own Taoist system, and the century-old foundation cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop!"

Cai Yu closed his eyes in pain, and said in a deep voice: "The destiny is not in the Cai family, what's the matter!" He didn't look at Xu Xian, who was kneeling on the ground, and the military generals who were stunned next to him, he opened his eyes and said to Xu Xian alone: "Xu Xiang sent General Cao out of the city to respond, and then selected some good gold, silver and jade silk in Changde Palace to reward the army." In addition, you can carefully discuss the surrender with Cao Bin. After that, it should be arranged, and you can do it cheaply, and you don't have to be lonely in everything. ”

Xu Xian was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was silent, and he lowered his head and said, "Minister, obey the order!"

Cai Yu made this perhaps the last will of the monarch of Jiangnan, so he turned around and slowly avoided the forbidden, not knowing whether he had no intention of discussing the final country with the ministers, or whether he felt that he had no face to see the ministers again.

After Cai Yu retreated into the ban, Xu Xian and Cao Han confessed, and no longer entangled with Wu Qiao and others, and it was important to send Cao Han and his deployment out of the city first.

Halfway through, a eunuch came from behind and sent Cai Yu to write a decree in the study, stating that Xu Xian was entrusted to take charge of the surrender of the Song army, and the officials and soldiers in the city should obey Xu Xian's arrangement. Xu Xian was originally worried that the troops outside the palace gate would test the holy decree, but in the way of Wu Qiao and the generals, he himself had to cherish his feathers, and it was not good to force Cai Yu to write down the will on the spot. If it weren't for bad luck, the queen would really be a wise man, it's a pity. Xu Xian thought secretly in his heart, and while sending Cao Han out of the palace gate with a promise, he declared his will in front of the army.

The army had just experienced last night's hard fighting, and the blood of the Song people on many armors was still there, and they were holding their breath, just waiting for the commanders who had entered the palace to ask for an order to return, and they would concoct this Song army that dared to break into the city, so as to avenge the comrades who had died in the battle for months. Who knew that such a big official suddenly walked out of the palace, and many people didn't believe it, Xu Xianbian asked several lieutenants and lieutenants to check the holy decree on the spot.
