Chapter 46: Triumphant Return & Military Parade
In less than a month, the grain in the Sun Qi treasury has been exhausted, resulting in the common people in the territory of hunger and cold, the people cannibalism, Xu Quan let people set up a grain station on the border, if the people of Sun Qi territory want to survive, they can enter the grain station to eat, over time, the common people in Sun Qi's territory are all supporting the old and the young, and cross the border into the grain station to get grain for their own food.
Xu Quan's selfless magnitude is also well known, widely won the hearts of the people, and then look at the Fu Studios, the city lord's mansion is gloomy and miserable, Sun Qi and all the civil and military are already hungry, a military minister took the case and left, scolding and said, "Xu Quan's traitors and thieves have deceived us too much, and now we can pour out of the nest and fight a decisive battle with it, if this battle is won, take back all the grain and grass, isn't it beautiful?"
When Li Ning heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Fang Jin's army has run out of food, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, how can they win? If they fight with it, they will be defeated...... It's not as good as ......."
Sun Qi saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked, "Why don't you do it?"
Li Ning sighed and said, "It's better to unload your armor and abandon your fight, but you can protect the life of the lord without worry." ”
When Li Yong, the son of Wuchen Li Ji, heard this, he was furious and shouted, "You and the others dare to talk nonsense?
Sun Qi saw Li Yong's fierce and vicious state, he was so frightened that he was incontinent, and all the ministers sighed when they saw it, Li Ning returned to the house, thought about it again and again, wrote a letter and sent someone to the Xu Quan Mansion in Guhe City quietly.
Xu Quan saw that Li Ning's messenger arrived, so he set up a banquet to entertain the messenger, and opened the envelope to see it, and the letter was to the effect: Sun Qi is weak, I have decided to defect to Your Excellency, and I hope Your Excellency will not accept it.
Xu Quan saw that Li Ning wanted to surrender, so he immediately wrote a reply letter, which was to the effect that Li Junshi should not worry, if you can bring Li Gu's head and come to defect, you can add an official to the knighthood.
Li Ning saw the letter, hesitated, but saw that the wife and concubine in the house were hungry, and his son was still in swaddling clothes, if there was no food to feed, the family would be ruined, so he decided to take Li Gu's head, and let people set up a banquet in the courtyard, banquet Li Gu, falsely claimed to make amends, but in fact committed murder.
Li Yong and his father are almost the same, both are a reckless man, hearing that Li Ning wants to make amends, without thinking and going to the banquet, seeing that the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the banquet have been cooled, he said, "Why don't you warm the wine and steam the vegetables?
Li Gu suddenly showed a fierce light on his face, and said, "You are about to die, why do you want to warm your wine?"
After saying that, the knife and axe hands in the courtyard swarmed up, beheaded Li Yong's head, and hid in the black box, Li Ning's little wife and children fled out of the country overnight, helping the old and the young to go straight to the grain station to get food, and then went straight to Guhe City.
Xu Quan climbed the building one day to look into the distance, saw a carriage coming, and said with a smile, "This is the head of Li Yong." Then he went downstairs and entered the house.
Sure enough, the carriage was really Li Ning's family, Xu Quan invited it in, treated each other with courtesy, Li Ning went straight into the knife and presented the black box, the thing in the box was Li Yong's head, Xu Quan saw it, and was overjoyed, so he named him the Liupin Dynasty Lang and made him settle in the city.
Sun Qi lost the general of the army overnight, and naturally the wood was dead, and he saw the people in the territory cannibalism, so he couldn't bear it, so he wrote a blood letter to Xu Quan's mansion, where did the blood come from? It was the blood of an attendant.
The blood letter is to the effect: the revenge of killing the father, this is not the same day, now I can't bear the suffering of the common people, so I surrender the city, hope that the king will help the people, Mo Wuzhi repeats the mistakes of the past, I do not ask for high-ranking officials, but seek to solve the problem and return to the field.
Xu Quan was relieved, and said with a smile, "If the soldiers are not bloody, they will win a big victory, so is this not God helping me?"
Half a month later, Sun Qi bathed and changed clothes, and surrendered with his sergeants, Xu Quan saw that although Sun Qi's army was numerous, they were all skinny and seemed to be dying people, and sighed, "If you surrender early, you will not fall into such a field." ”
The enemy surrendered without a fight, Xu Quan's soldiers included the fourteen cities in the bag without blood, and collected 150,000 troops, and surrendered more than 50 generals, overjoyed, let people build a mansion in the poor countryside, and invited Sun Qi and his family to stay, Xu Quan is now in the seventeen cities, gathering more than 400,000 elite soldiers, which can be called huge, not to be underestimated, and this is just the beginning.
Besides, the valley crane city, although surrounded by mountains and located in the canyon, occupy the geographical advantage and easy to defend and difficult to attack, but because the city occupies a very small area and it is difficult to garrison the grain, when the trouble Xu Quan occupies this city, regard it as a foothold, and now, Xu Quan's subordinates have occupied seventeen cities, several of which are located in a rich place, the land is vast and rich, it seems to be inexhaustible, Xu Quan sees it, so he gathers people to discuss the matter of moving the capital.

In addition, Xu Quan occupied Sun Qi's territory and immediately opened a warehouse to release grain, and distributed all the grain and grass accumulated in the treasury over the years, so that millions of people could be saved from the suffering of hunger and cold.

Shen Yue has no intention of having fun, studying the war every day, in the one-day banquet, everyone gathers together, when drinking and having fun, he suddenly said bluntly, "If the lord wants to stop here, I will dismiss my armor and return to the field, and abandon the official to go." ”
When Xu Quan heard this, he feigned surprise and said, "Why is the military advisor like this? Now I am in 17 cities, gathering 450,000 elite soldiers, and forming an alliance with the Unification Society to protect the lips and teeth, within the territory, the city is impregnable, the country and the people are safe, and I have been able to enjoy it for thousands of years, and I know enough. ”

When Shen Yue heard this, he stopped and looked back, and saw Xu Quan get up, slash the wooden table in front of him with his sword, and the wooden table fell apart and turned into powder in an instant, Xu Quan's eyes sprung with murderous intent, and he said with a stern face, "I am determined to dominate the world, how can I stop here to enjoy myself......?"
When Shen Yue heard this, he was silent, and Xu Quan said in a fierce voice, "Wu Cao executed my father, and connected me to the nine clans, and every day I have nothing to do here and enjoy myself, and I can't take revenge, so I will sleep with hatred all day...... But only by showing weakness to the enemy can we recuperate, and then sweep away external troubles and dominate the world. ”
When Shen Yue heard this, he immediately went out of the house, bathed and changed his clothes, and then returned to the banquet, drinking and having fun with everyone, drinking until he was half-drunk, Xu Quan returned, and slept with Zheng Yan...... General Guanfeng, please come in. ”
Speaking of Guanfeng, Xu Quan ordered him to take the demon beads to the Black Sand District, capture and control the mourners, and bring all the mourners back, after he arrived in the Black Sand District, there was no news, so far it has been six years, Xu Quan expected that he might die due to an accident, but he did not expect that he suddenly returned triumphantly today.
