"It's just ......" Zhong Zishan and others are still worried. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Did the other party scare all the generals with only a few hundred people?" Li Jia asked.

Everyone looked at each other, and it was hard to say anything more. Li Jia asked again, "Who wants to go with me to the Martyrs' Shrine?"

Zhong Zishan, Yang Yue and the others pondered for a moment, looked at each other again, and said in unison: "General Li, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman and accompany you on this trip!"

"Okay! Whether our army can finally join forces with the Zhenjun army depends on this meeting!" Li Jia took a deep breath and looked up to the sky and said: "If the Zhenjun army is willing to join forces with us, the palace of King Yu will be a big thing, if the Zhenjun army is unwilling to join forces with us, I am afraid we will have to be forced to withdraw to Fengjun and establish ourselves as kings in Fengjun's palace." In Lijia's view, this is the worst possible outcome.

Li Jia took Zhong Zishan, Yang Yue, Xue Yuan and other rebel leaders, escorted by many spiritual cultivators, a total of hundreds of people, left the rebels' brigade and came to the Martyrs' Shrine.

When he arrived at the gate of the Martyrs' Shrine, Li Jiama bowed his hand to the Zhenjun army standing at the door and said, "In Li Jia, please come out and see Lord Shangguan!"

Hearing the sound of registration from outside the courtyard, everyone in the ancestral hall was shocked, yo, Li Jia, the leader of the rebel army, really came in person. Everyone's eyes fell on Shangguan Xiu, waiting for him to make a decision.

Shangguan Xiu knelt on the ground and did not move, but said slowly: "Please." ”

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu had no intention of going out to greet him, Luo Ren couldn't help but stand up and strode out.

When he arrived outside the courtyard, he glanced at Li Jia and the others opposite, and said, "The commander of the First Army of the Zhenjun Army, Luo Ren, may I ask which one is General Li?"

There are only four corps commanders in the Zhenjun Army, all of whom belong to the core of the senior generals, and the rebels are certainly not unfamiliar with Luo Ren's name. Li Jia took two steps forward, with a smile on his face, and arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be General Luo, disrespectful and disrespectful, in Li Jia, this is polite!"

"General Li is polite, I have admired the name for a long time!General Li, please come inside!" As he spoke, Luo Ren turned sideways, stepped out of the door, and made a gesture of invitation. Li Jia was just about to step inside, Zhong Zishan snorted coldly and said, "Lord Shangguan is so powerful, what a big shelf!"

Although he had a sense of closeness to the rebels, after listening to Zhong Zishan's words, Luo Ren's face still sank, and a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he looked directly at Zhong Zishan.

In any case, Luo Ren is Shangguan Xiu's brother and his ministry, and when he heard that someone was disrespectful to Shangguan Xiu, he naturally felt disgust and hostility in his heart.

Li Jia saw Luo Ren's displeasure, turned his head and glanced at Zhong Zishan, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Shangguan is worshipping the martyrs, and it is rude for us to wait to disturb him." As he spoke, he smiled apologetically at Luo Ren again. The latter's gloomy face eased a little, and the light flashing in his eyes disappeared.

Everyone walked into the courtyard and looked up, only to see a large number of people kneeling in the ancestral hall. Seeing this scene, Li Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if this was a trap set by Shangguan Xiu, it was impossible for him to have already fallen into his trap on his own side, and he was still deliberately making a show.

Entering the ancestral hall, Li Jia did not speak, walked straight to the table, and saw that there was incense placed by the Zhenjun army on it, Li Jia took out three incense sticks from it, lit it, and solemnly inserted it into the incense burner with a heavy expression, and then took two steps back, knelt not far from Shangguan Xiu's side, and kowtowed forward.

Li Jia is like this, Zhong Zishan, Yang Yue, Xue Yuan and others also followed suit, offering incense, kneeling and bowing.

After bowing, Li Jia took the lead in getting up, bowed deeply to Shangguan Xiu on the side, and said: "Old General Wei Chi is dedicated to protecting the country, and would rather die than give in, he is really a model for my generation!"

He and Shangguan Xiu have never met, but the latter's silver hair on his temples is too eye-catching, and he kneels at the front of the generals of the Zhenjun army, and Li Jia can recognize him without being recommended by others.

Shangguan Xiu, who had been kneeling down for a long time, finally stood up. As Shangguan Xiu and Li Jia both got up, everyone behind them also stood up.

Shangguan Xiu raised his eyes to look at Li Jia, he was in his early fifties, with a Chinese face, a mediocre appearance, but also a little amiable, medium stature, no helmet and armor, only civilian clothes.

After looking at Li Jia, Shangguan Xiu bowed his hand and said: "The old general is indeed a model for my generation, and he is also a heroic martyr of the gale! In Shangguan Xiu, I have long admired General Li's name." ”

Li Jia smiled, waved his hand and said, "Lord Shangguan is polite, he is only the leader of the rebel army in a district, how can he enter the eyes of Lord Shangguan." His self-effacing politeness is not only a scene, but also a temptation of Shangguan Xiu.

Shangguan Xiu said quietly: "As long as you are dedicated to the country, whether you are a rebel or not, in my eyes, you are the pillars of the Wind Country." His words are also a pun, focusing on the words 'wholeheartedly for the country', but in the ears of Li Jia and others, it is naturally understood that Shangguan Xiu is praising them as the pillars of the Wind Country.

Li Jia looked up and smiled, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Lord Shangguan said this, just torture me and wait." ”

Shangguan Xiu sneered in his heart, but there was not the slightest expression on his face, he shrugged his shoulders, changed his words, and asked: "General Li came to the Martyrs' Shrine this time, wouldn't he be like me, and made a special trip to pay homage to the old general and the martyrs?"

Listening to Shangguan Xiu cut to the point, Li Jia no longer made polite remarks, he said with a straight face: "I can't hide it, I came here this time to negotiate peace with Lord Shangguan." ”

"Oh? There is no grievance between me and General Li, so where did the peace talks come from?"

"For Chang Guan and Lin Yong's previous inappropriate behavior, I want to apologize to Lord Shangguan. ”

"These two thieves have ill intentions, and they have already been killed by me, and this matter has passed, so don't mention it. ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Shangguan is broad-minded and admires. Li Jia arched his hand and said, "Since Lord Shangguan no longer cares about the loss of Chang Guan and Lin Yong, I wonder if Lord Shangguan is willing to work together with me and others to attack Shangjing and lay the foundation stone for the great cause of King Yu's Palace?"

When Shangguan Xiu was young, he was a person who was moody, and after more than two years of training, the city government became more profound, as long as he deliberately controlled it, any changes in his heart would not be shown on his face.

The corners of his mouth raised and said: "Loyal to the palace, Xiu's heart has never changed." ”

Li Jia and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and Shangguan Xiu continued: "However, there is one thing, I have already made it very clear, I want the county lord of Qingyun. Live, I want people, I want death, I want corpses, it's such a simple request, General Li can't meet me, the sincerity of cooperation is too reluctant, right?"

"Uh...... This ......" Li Jia consciously looked at Zhong Zishan and the others, everyone hung their heads, and no one spoke. It was the Changguan Department and the Lin Yong Department that blocked the breakthrough of the Central Army, if the Qingyun County Lord died in battle, it would also be in the hands of the two of them, as for the burial of the corpse, it was also done by the Changguan Department and Lin Yongbu, and now they want to find the body of the Qingyun County Lord, they can't do anything.

After hesitating for a while, Li Jia smiled bitterly: "Lord Shangguan, we have carefully searched for the body of the county lord, but in the buried central army, we have not been able to find it. ”

He was staring and talking nonsense, he asked Chang Guan and Lin Yong to look for Tang Wanyun's body, but the two of them didn't look for it at all, and directly led their troops to attack Shangguanxiu's Zhenjun army. No one has been willing to do this matter, and it has been delayed until now, but in front of Shangguan Xiu, she can't say that, Li Jia improvised and speculated that she might have broken through on the grounds that she failed to find Tang Wanyun's body.

Shangguan Xiu stared at Li Jia and asked, "Is General Li serious?"

"Li is not half-false. Under Shangguan Xiu's forced gaze, Li Jia involuntarily lowered his gaze, avoiding his cold eyes and gaze.

Shangguan Xiu is so smart, there is no sand in his eyes, just looking at Li Jia's reaction, he knows that he is not telling the truth, and at the same time, his heart sinks, and he secretly asks: Could it be that Wanyun is really dead, and Li Jia doesn't dare to tell him the news?

Thinking of this, he put his hands behind his back, his palms clenched into fists, and the joints of his fingers were white. He said slowly: "I see, since this is the case, I will send someone to search for the whereabouts of the county lord." ”

"Li must cooperate with Lord Shangguan, even if he digs three feet into the ground around Shangjing, he must find the Qingyun County Lord. ”

"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "Let's talk about cooperation, what are General Li's plans?"

Li Jia's eyes lit up, and he said with a happy face: "Lord Shangguan is willing to stand on our side, our total army of more than 1.2 million people, three times the central army in the city, can completely forcibly attack the city, and Lord Shangguan still has such a sharp weapon as artillery in his hands, it is easy to break through Shangjing." ”

Shangguan Xiu said slowly: "Forcibly attacking the city is not impossible, and it is by no means impossible to win, but in a fierce battle, even if our side can completely annihilate the central army in the city, it will suffer heavy casualties and lose its vitality." ”

Zhong Zishan, Yang Yue, Xue Yuan and others nodded again and again, indicating that what Shangguan Xiu said was reasonable. Li Jia asked curiously, "What about according to Lord Shangguan's opinion?"

"Between me, find a way to lure out the central army in the city, let it fight with us on the plains outside the city, and lose the reliance on the defense of the city, the central army of 400,000 is not to worry at all. Shangguan Xiu said on the ground.

Li Jia nodded while listening, of course this method is good, but the Central Army is not stupid, how can it be stupid enough to give up the advantage of Shangjing's strong city defense and go out of the city to fight a plain war with his own side?

He smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Shangguan, we have thought of this tactic for a long time, and we have used various methods to lure the central army out of the city, but they have all failed, and the central army seems to have already made up its mind, and it is unwilling to take a step out of the city. ”
