Li Heng walked to Li Linfu's side as he spoke, but at this moment, everyone present, including Li Linfu, probably only believed him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't hesitate any longer, this Jiujiang City will let the old ministers defend it, right?" "That'...... That? Since Li Xianggong is so concerned about the overall situation, this prince will not say more...... It's just that the number of troops left behind after the break, I don't know how many Li Aiqing you need to be sure to hold the ...... steadily."

"One hundred thousand! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels that something is wrong, he can reduce it again, and the old minister is willing to take the initiative to ask Ying to stay behind this time, just to repay His Royal Highness for your original kindness, so His Royal Highness the Prince, you have an order, and the minister dare not obey! And this life of the old minister will be returned to you from today onwards, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

"Li Xianggong, the words are serious, the words are serious, although this matter is a bit dangerous, but it has not yet reached the point where you and I are separated from life and death, this prince will leave 100,000 people in Jiujiang City for Li Xianggong to send according to what you said, and Li Xianggong, you only need to hold Zhang Xiaojing's army for ten days and nights, no matter what, Li Xianggong, you must hurry to the direction of Lin'an City to join this prince......"

Heng said that the affection was deep and serious, and Li Linfu was also very cooperative with Li Heng to perform, and then the two hugged and cried while talking in front of everyone, but everyone was very puzzled why Li Heng had to use Li Linfu to stay behind the break, be this scapegoat, and pay 100,000 people like a fool to appease Li Linfu's emotions.

On the other hand, some of Li Linfu's cronies were also confused by his performance, and they couldn't turn the corner for half a day, because in such a life-and-death task, except for a very few people who were really willing to die for Li Heng, others would not dare to take the initiative to get involved, and before that, Li Linfu had clearly seen Li Heng's purpose of using him as a stepping stone.

So all these signs are added together, they really can't understand it, and they can't accept it, a large group of people like themselves have to accompany Li Linfu to wait for death in Jiujiang City. "Xiangye, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already left with someone, why are you really at ease to cut off the back road for him, the little ones still think that you have other ideas?"

"Other ideas are naturally there, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to give us a way to live, and we can't ignore it! Rather than saying that these 100,000 people are responsible for the defenders after the break, then it is better to say that they are Li Heng's gift of life to General Zhang Xiaojing? ”

"Xiangye, how can you say this! How did a good army become a gift of life? Do you really want to take me to wait for ......?" Benxiang was originally a member of the Li Tang royal family, although it was a side branch, but it was also the same blood as the saint, and it didn't hurt for their brothers to fight back and forth, but it was always uncomfortable to keep their own face in the middle and play with it! This time Li Heng also figured out the key to it, he knew very well in his heart that no matter who came to stay in the Nine Generals City, he would not be able to hold on for ten days, as long as he left his true appearance, maybe Zhang Xiaojing would directly send someone to persuade him to surrender in the past, so this time he came and went, and they had time to delay, so you said that these 100,000 soldiers are not a gift for him to stay and live, too little sincerity is insufficient, too much and it hurts his muscles and bones, so these 100,000 people are not more than no less than just let Zhang Xiaojing eat enough...... Haha......"

After Li Linfu's explanation, more than a dozen of his followers were instantly opened, and then they all hurriedly raised their wine glasses to greet our Li Xianggong's cleverness.

However, in fact, just as Li Linfu and Li Heng predicted, when Li Heng hurriedly withdrew from Jiujiang with hundreds of thousands of troops and rushed back to Zhedong Road all the way, Zhang Xiaojing also immediately ordered all the horses in his headquarters to pursue, but when he came to Jiujiang City and learned that the person left by Li Heng to defend the city was Li Linfu, he immediately came to Jiujiang City to persuade him to surrender.

And Li Linfu, a cunning guy, had pretended to fight Zhang Xiaojing to the death before, and after the two sides dragged back and forth for three or four days, he turned over as if he was moved by Zhang Xiaojing's sincerity, and personally went down to the city to open the door and welcomed all the more than 100,000 men and horses of Zhang's department into Jiujiang, and even took great pains to offer Zhang Xiaojing a clever plan to immediately hunt down and kill Li Heng.

"General Zhang, your current military strength, plus the 100,000 horses to which the official belongs, already have the strength to fight against Li Heng, he only wants to rescue the lair of Lin'an City at the moment, but this official dares to conclude that as long as Xiao Tiancheng makes a move, then Lin'an City must have been in the pocket of my court, even if he Li Heng rushes to it day and night at this moment, I am afraid that when he arrives at Lin'an City, he can only look at the city and sigh, but if the 400,000 horses he goes here converge with the urging wind, it will inevitably cause unprecedented pressure on Lin'an City to defend the city, Xiao Dashuai has more than 100,000 horses in his hands...... General Zhang, you understand what this official means! ”

"Thank you Li Xianggong for mentioning it, but I won't spare you for bothering about this matter, this general has his own arrangements, for now, you should hurry up and return to Chang'an with the messenger in the army, I want to come to the sage to know that Li Xianggong will be very happy if you abandon the darkness and turn to the light again......"

"This ...... This...... At the beginning, the official pretended to be attached to Li Heng's side, and he had to do it as a last resort! Moreover, in the past few years, the official has also been in Jiangnan, his heart is in Chang'an, and he has secretly done a lot of things that are beneficial to the imperial court, such as the paper money that urged Qingfeng to oppose was planned by the official to be implemented in Jiangnan, and there are many trades between Jiangnan and the whole country, if it weren't for the official, how could their Zhedong clan be estranged from Li Heng because of interests......"

"Okay, okay, Li Xianggong, you should keep these words and tell the sage in person, I don't understand and don't want to listen to these twists and turns, but for Li Xianggong, you can get lost and return to the matter of surrendering 100,000 troops to our department, and I will also report to the sage according to the truth...... As for this, why didn't you open the door and surrender at the beginning, but delayed for four or five days......"

Hearing Zhang Xiaojing say this, Li Linfu seemed to be stripped naked at this time, and then smiled a little embarrassedly at Zhang Xiaojing, "General Zhang said that it was a joke, this delay of four or five days is human nature, the general is also the person who leads the army, and he should know that the relationship between the army and the army is complicated, and it took a lot of effort for the official to persuade them one by one!" ”

Zhang Xiaojing saw that Li Linfu's mind was turning fast, and this explanation was also reasonable, so he immediately hurriedly saluted and said goodbye, and then Li Linfu was left alone, a little overwhelmed, worried about what kind of tragic consequences this trip would have after arriving in Chang'an.
