A huge bamboo basket carrying Ke Yongsheng was slowly pulled up the wall by the defenders who were locked by Youxian, so that the Vietnamese soldiers who were miles away looked at him and sweated for him.

This requires the other party to suddenly do something, and Ke Yongsheng, who is already hanging in the air, really has only one way to die. However, such an accident did not happen, and he was quickly pulled up to the wall, but before he could make a statement, several weapons were already on top of him.

Then a familiar but cold voice sounded from not far away: "What are you doing here?" Be a lobbyist? ”

Ke Yongsheng calmly came out of the bamboo basket, without the slightest fear, and looked directly at Li Chengdong over there: "Brother Li, I entered the customs this time, of course, to help you!" ”

"Help me, then I'll have to hear it." With another sneer, Li Chengdong waved his hand and asked his subordinate generals to retreat first, and then made a gesture of please, signaling the other party to go down with him.

Youxian Pass is not big, and now it is in wartime, Li Chengdong, as the main general of Guanzhong, naturally cannot be too far away from the wall. He led Ke Yongsheng down the wall, and after only walking two steps, he entered a courtyard, which was the place where he commanded the battle and rested at night.

After a soldier brought two bowls of water, only the two of them were left in this room, sitting opposite each other.

"You ventured in to convince me to give up the guard, didn't you?" Li Chengdong spoke again very directly.

"That's right, but not for the imperial army outside, but for you." Ke Yongsheng admitted without any evasion, "You and I have known each other for many years, and we have a lifelong friendship with each other, I really don't want you to sacrifice in vain!" ”

"Sacrifice in vain? I don't think that defending Youxian Pass and blocking tens of thousands of enemies for a month or two is a waste of sacrifice! ”

"Enemies? They are the dignified teachers of the imperial court, but it is Guo Yan of Liangzhou who you want to assist now that is the rebel and thief! ”

Ke Yongsheng didn't care if he would annoy the other party, so he went straight to the point: "And don't forget, you and I were originally the generals of Lianzhou Liu Taishou, and we were not his confidants of Guo Yan, otherwise I wouldn't have let you guard Youxian Pass, and when I was ordered to accompany the army, I was wary of me in every possible way......"33

"I know what you're trying to say." Li Chengdong sank his face and interrupted the other party's words, "Do you think that since we have already voted for another lord once, we naturally don't have to worry too much about the so-called loyalty this time."

"But I would say that it's a completely different story. At the beginning, Liu Taishou, although he was our lord, only valued his kindred, and most of them acted perversely in Lianzhou, no matter the people and soldiers complained about him, I naturally would not do my best to protect him.

"But Guo Taiwei is different, he really wants to make a career in the Central Plains, and he can also know people well, at least for me.

"I never felt that being transferred from Lianzhou to Youxian Pass was demeaning, in my opinion, it was a trust in me. Youxian Pass is the gateway to Lianzhou and the first gate of Liangzhou, and it is the absolute trust in my ability and loyalty that Taiwei Guo entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility. Therefore, I will never betray him and fail him! ”

Ke Yongsheng was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to have such an opinion, which was completely the opposite of what he thought. He could only sigh and said, "But you also have to think about your own life......

"What you said just now is right, I did betray at the beginning, so I am even more grateful to Taiwei Guo for his trust in me, and I will not betray again!

"Even if I die in this Youxian Pass, I won't have any complaints, every extra day I hold on, it's earned for me!"

"You...... Why are you doing this......" Ke Yongsheng's face was sad, and he didn't know what to say at all.

He thought that he knew this robe brother very well, but now he realized that he still looked down on him. Compared with him, it seems that he is the villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

But he still wanted to make a final effort: "But do you know what you're up against? Now there are not only tens of thousands of imperial army outside the gate, but also His Majesty the Emperor, who is personally driving, do you really think that you can hold out until the arrival of reinforcements?

"And as far as I know, the current Liangzhou army has long been demoralized because of the previous defeat, and even Guo Yan has fled, and those cities before are even more invincible, only your family is stubbornly defending, can it really be recovered? Why don't you go against the sky and be the praying mantis that blocks the car? ”

"Enough!"

Listening to the more he talked, the more unpleasant he became, Li Chengdong suddenly stopped drinking, and slammed it on the table again, shaking the water bowl on the table and almost hitting the ground.

"Because of the friendship between you and me, because you once saved my life, I will allow you to enter the customs, so I didn't let my subordinates really treat you, and please Yongsheng You don't have to inch in and force me to do something!

"I have clearly told you my attitude, even if I die, I will die on this Wandering Immortal Pass. Even if the emperor kills him, I will use the knife in my hand to tell him that the way of the world has long changed, and we already have our own emperor majesty!

"You go back and tell him that he is a faint king, and he is the culprit who has caused chaos in the world for ten years and hundreds of people have lost their lives, if he dares to appear in front of me, I, Li Chengdong, will kill him!"

These words were extremely resolute, and they left no room at all.

also made Ke Yongsheng completely lose his thoughts, and could only sigh. He knew that his previous thoughts were completely wrong, and it was impossible to really convince this former brother to join the imperial court!

What else can be done is to accept the facts.

Li Chengdong did not agree to surrender, nor did he mean to embarrass Ke Yongsheng, and after refusing, he asked people to take him away, re-use a rope bamboo basket, tie him down the wall, and put it back to the opposite side.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the day was about to pass, and it seemed that a new round of offensive and defensive battles was inevitable.

And then, the Da Viet official army will inevitably use the previously agreed strategy to attack day and night, and the number of casualties by then will inevitably exceed imagination.

Thinking of this layer, Ke Yongsheng was full of regret and helplessness, and after returning to the barracks, he came to Sun Ning for the first time to ask for guilt: "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent and failed to persuade Li Chengdong to surrender......

Sun Ning didn't show any disappointment, but only asked with a smile: "Then what did you see in Guanzhong, and what did you say to him, and tell me everything in detail." ”

This result can be regarded as his expectation, after all, not all enemy generals will lose their fighting spirit because of the situation or identity. Those enemies were so weak before, and naturally there will be people with different choices.

Ke Yongsheng didn't know Sun Ning's thoughts, so he could only tell what he saw and heard one by one according to the emperor's intentions, and he didn't dare to hide anything.

Some people died, but not completely......
