Lao Jiedu made Xu Jing kill himself, and begged for benevolence.

With Xu Jing's suicide, the war finally came to an end.

On the side of Yuncheng County, Zhu Biao has already cleared the rout of the official army, those who can escape have fled, those who have been caught have been arrested, and Yuncheng County has returned to calm.

Only Hua Rong led 3,000 people to stay in Yuncheng County, and the rest of the people returned to Zhujiazhuang.

Xu Guanzhong was recruited back by Zhu Long in advance, and Zhu Long had to make some major decisions, so he was recruited back to discuss confidential matters.

The two of them discussed in the house all day until Zhu Biao and they returned.

On the day Zhu Biao came back, Zhu Long held a grand celebration banquet and issued a reward. From the four major captains to the ordinary soldiers, the whole army was richly rewarded according to their positions and merits.

Zhu Jiajun fell into a sea of joy.

Only Jiang Qin, the chief financial manager, sighed at the account book under the oil lamp, and his abacus crackled, eager to count tens of thousands of taels of silver.

He found Zhu Long and pleaded: "Lord, can this reward be reduced by two percent, if it continues like this, if we win a few more battles, our family will have to lose everything!" ”

Zhu Long patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry! ”

Jiang Qin's eyes lit up, "Does the lord have a way to make money?" ”

Zhu Long shook his head, "I mean, let's not fight, fight less!" ”

Seeing Jiang Qin's puzzled face, he smiled and said, "Don't say anything, let's go to the celebration banquet!" ”

In the newly built banquet hall, the lights were bright, the drums were blowing, and the servants were like ants moving, going in and out, serving wine and meat and delicacies like water.

Zhu Long sat on the tiger skin chair above, and all the generals under his command sat below, divided into two rows, left and right.

Or staggered, pushing the cup to the cup, or drinking a lot of wine, eating a large piece of meat, the atmosphere is very warm.

Zhu Long suddenly stood up, picked up the wine bottle, and said: "In this war, the 100,000 troops of the imperial court invaded my Zhujiazhuang, and in just one month, they were defeated by my Zhujia army and captured the main general Gao Yu, which proves the courage and good fighting of my Zhujia army. ”

"Thanks to the loyalty and bravery of all the brothers, I wish the family army to be defeated in the future, capture Gao Yu in the future, and repeatedly defeat the official army, and spread its prestige to the world!"

"The merit and glory belong to the brothers, this first cup, I salute everyone, please drink this cup!"

Zhu Long held the wine bottle high and drank it all. The generals got up one after another and drank all their wine.

"In all the previous wars, although we defeated our opponents and won victories, many soldiers died on the battlefield. This second cup, we salute these comrades who died in battle! ”

Everyone looked solemn, stood up one after another, held up the wine bottle, and drank it all.

"This third cup, we respect the heavens. Ask Heaven to continue to bless us in our victory over a mighty enemy! ”

Xu Guanzhong below raised his glass with everyone, with an imperceptible smile in his mouth.

This "respect for the heavens" was his idea, in order to give the generals a hint that we are blessed by the heavens, and our victory is the will of heaven.

After three glasses of wine, the atmosphere is even more enthusiastic, and many people are already a little drunk.

Lu Zhishen stood up, his body swayed, and he said in a loud voice: "Lord, let's not recruit any birds, rebel directly, you are the emperor, we will fight the world for you!" ”

"Good! The lord should be the emperor! Bao Xu said loudly.

"The surname Zhao deserves it, but the surname Zhu deserves it?" Liu Tang said drunkly: "Lord, take advantage of today's good day, you will ascend the throne and become the emperor!" ”

After speaking, he left the table, walked to the middle, fell to his knees on the ground, and said with a big tongue: "Long live my emperor!" ”

Zhu Long touched his forehead and glanced at Ruan Xiaoqi, who hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Liu Tang back to his seat. 90 look

"My lord, they are right! Since the Great Song Dynasty is so weak, why should we recruit peace, go to others to snort, and suffer from that nest? Wu Song also stood up and supported the views of Lu Zhishen and others.

He and Lu Zhishen were both aware of Zhu Long's "three-step" strategy, and knew that Zhao'an was just an expedient measure, so the opposition was not very fierce, but they felt that there was no need to make more moves.

In fact, Zhu Long has been secretly observing the reactions of the generals, some people support it, and some people don't express it.

Xu Guanzhong smiled, stood up, walked to the middle, and said, "The so-called want to take must be given first!" The lord's sincerity in serving the country, the court must know, but without sympathy, he still sent 100,000 troops to suppress it, which shows that our loyalty is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the emperor and ministers, and it will only make them more unscrupulous! ”

Everyone nodded their heads, quite dissatisfied with the imperial court.

Originally, Tong Guan and 30,000 officers and soldiers were released to go back, expressing enough sincerity, but the imperial court still refused to recruit an and sent Gao Yu to attack Zhujiazhuang.

Zhu Hu shouted: "Wagging your tail and begging for mercy is not respected!" Only when the court is beaten will they remember that we were once willing to recruit peace! ”

"Not bad!" Chao Gai raised his chin and said in a deep voice: "We must return a tooth for a tooth!" ”

Xu Guanzhong's eyes swept around, and when he saw that the generals' emotions were stirred up by himself, he smiled and said, "Since all the brothers think so, let's ask the lord to be the emperor!" ”

"No, never!" Zhu Long hurriedly refused according to the script he and Xu Guanzhong had written.

"Why not, if the lord becomes the emperor, he can reward us as generals and grandfathers!" Xu Guanzhong continued to persuade him, but what he said was written by Zhu Long.

Zhu Long was afraid that his subordinates would be safe when they were rich, and he had no ambition for glory and wealth, so he drew a big pie from time to time to stimulate their enterprising spirit.

"The Zhao family just bullied orphans and widows to steal the throne! The lord is the son of destiny, if you don't rule the world, how can I be born? Tianhuang Guichai stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"In the world, the virtuous live in it!" Hu Yanzhuo stood up and said righteously: "The Zhao family is immoral, arrogant and lascivious, reuses traitorous ministers, plunders the people's fat and people's ointment, and the heavens hate it!" ”

"The Lord is generous and benevolent, cherishes the people, and God blesses him! Please call the lord the emperor and change the yuan to build the country! The subordinates are determined to sweep the Lord's Fortune and annex the Eight Desolations! ”

After Hu Yanzhuo finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee.

Bian Xiang also stood up, looked at everyone, and said: "Everyone also knows that I was the right prime minister with Tian Hu, but in fact, I am a prime minister, I don't even have a good fortune, and I am just a grass platform." When Tian Hu was proclaimed emperor, he had only 8,000 men under him, and he had a lot of governors, prime ministers, and privy envoys, attracting heroes from all over the world! ”

"Now that the main public soldiers are brave and brave, they have repeatedly defeated the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and they should be called emperors, and then the heroes of the world will flock to vote!"

Bian Xiang is worthy of being a prime minister, and he is right, and others have echoed him, especially Lu Zhishen, Qin Ming, Wu Song, Shi Wengong and others.

"Zhu is not a foolish and loyal person, but if I am called the emperor, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world, and when the time comes, the lives will be ruined, and the people will be displaced, how can I bear it, brothers, don't force each other!"

No matter what others say, Zhu Long categorically refused, and when it came to the suffering of Baixin, he even shed tears.

All the generals were touched by Zhu Long's benevolence.

At this time, Xu Guanzhong stood up again and said: "Since the lord has the common people in his heart and can't bear the people to fall into the flames of war, it is better to take a step back, we will not force the lord to raise troops to become the emperor, but we want to elect the lord as the 'dragon king', please allow the lord!" ”

As soon as these words came out, even the four lieutenants and Zeng Lane and others who had not expressed their stance all supported and applauded!

The title of "Dragon King", although there is also a "king", has a bit of a Jianghu atmosphere, which is not the same as directly calling the emperor.

Once Zhu Long is proclaimed emperor, between him and the Great Song Dynasty, you can only live and die, and there is no room for maneuver.

Zhu Long said helplessly: "You persecuted me too much!" But you have worked hard, and I can't refuse, so I'll promise you! ”

"Dragon King!"

"Dragon King!!"

……

The people in the hall shouted the word "Dragon King" in a loud voice, and the sound reached outside, and the soldiers heard it, and the clever man literally guessed what it meant, after a little thought.

Everyone shouted along, and the sound continued to spread, echoing in the sky above Zhujiazhuang.
