To Qu Chuxiao's surprise, Ba Niu neither surrounded them nor communicated with a messenger, so he sat firmly in the city, waiting for the result he wanted. He had no choice but to re-encamp the camp, and then called his two most trusted people, Xu Youning and Lu Kuan, into his big tent.

"The reason why Li Jiuyuan did not attack was because he knew that we had no way out." Xu Youning said gloomily: "Kangle, we can't go back, don't say that these people are now, even when they are defending the city, it is difficult to go back." What about the rest of the place? In addition to us, how many other provinces and roads in Dongduo are completely controlled by the Kangle people? Hardly. Except for Dong Duo, the only one who still has the strength to contain us and will not be destroyed quickly is the Fallen Leaf Town in Mingsha Mountain, where Yu Haitian is, and now he is relatively safe. But more than 2,000 miles from Kyoto to the town of Fallen Leaves, the dangers can be imagined. I believe that with our current strength, we will be wiped out before we reach Fallen Leaf Town."

Qu Chuxiao thought for a long time before he said silently: "In this way, don't we have no way to retreat"?

"It's not just that there's nowhere to go back, it's nowhere to go." Lu Kuan also said gloomily: "If Li Jiuyuan encircles and suppresses us, we can only be a dead end."

The three of them were silent for a long time at the same time, looking at each other, no one said a word, and now there was nothing to say at all, they had neither hope nor too many choices.

"Although the meaning of the dead country and the dead family are different, they ultimately return to righteousness. In this case, since we have no choice but to die for our country"! Qu Chuxiao said impassionedly, but Xu Youning and Lu Kuan's reactions were extremely flat.

"Dead country, for which country shall we die? We have no country of our own, and the current well-being is no longer a country. Dead home, our family is in the city of Kyoto, and now we are living a peaceful and stable life, looking forward to our return day and night, how can we die at home"?

Lu Kuan's words completely angered Qu Chuxiao, and he stood up and said with his sword: "According to your meaning, you are going to take refuge in the people of the Autumn Mountain Peninsula"?

Lu Kuan did not flinch because of this, he did not stand up, but looked at him with extremely sharp eyes, and said very firmly: "We are all Kangle people, and we are also loyal to Kangle, but is Kangle worth our allegiance?" He didn't allow Chu Xiao to answer, and then said: "Not to mention the current turbulent situation, that is, when Your Majesty was in power, in addition to being reckless and doing whatever he wanted, when did you consider the feelings of our border generals?" When did you think about our safety? Why did General Sheng Shiyuan submit to the Akiyama Peninsula, and why did Chang Lin betray the Great Prince? Is it all a matter of their own quality? Good ministers choose wood and live, wise men choose the lord and the master, the king treats the ministers with courtesy, and the ministers do their best to be loyal, such as today's disputes, recreation no longer exists, only to make a wise choice, is the first priority. Guan Yiwu forgot the enmity of the prince and Shi Qi Huan, the princes of Jiukuang, all under one day. This is not because Guan Zhong's human nature is flawed, but because he wants to show his ambitions, sacrifice small things and do great righteousness, and it is also the talent of the son to correct the non-human master, and Qi Huan has merit. Now we have no way out, only a dead end. It's easy to die, but what's the point of dying? With your talents, generals, and our abilities, which is more meaningful, or making meritorious contributions and blessings to our descendants? In life, we should not seek to be the one who has never been before or after us, but also to make a difference, so that the name and surname are worthy of our descendants. I think that instead of dying unintentionally, it is better to leave a useful body and make a career, so as to be worthy of this life."

It's not that Qu Chuxiao doesn't understand what he said, but the education he received since he was a child does not allow him to be a traitor. Therefore, he drew his sword, stabbed Lu Kuan's chest with a trembling hand, and shouted, "Traitor! You say such a rebellious thing, but unfortunately I have always treated you as a brother. You are greedy for life and afraid of death, but I am not afraid, now, I will kill you first, and then kill myself, to thank the first king"!

His sword was not fast, Lu Kuan had time to dodge, but he didn't, he closed his eyes and waited quietly for the sound of the sword piercing his heart. The sword didn't pierce his heart, it didn't even touch his clothes, and Qu Chuxiao's sword was stopped by Xu Youning almost as soon as he made a move.

"You ......"! Qu Chuxiao looked at Xu Youning tremblingly, at this time, the people who were not on his side were obviously on the opposite side of him. He never expected that Xu Youning would also betray him.

"General, General Lu's words are not entirely unreasonable." Xu Youning let go of the hand he was holding Qu Chuxiao's right hand, and said slowly: "Chu Yuxing is cruel and unkind, reckless and reckless, and has torn a good country apart. Now that the recreation is a mess, since we can't restore the recreation of the recreation dynasty, it is the wisest choice to choose the master. Li Jiuyuan is a genius of the world, a rare lord, bending to him, and not insulting us, I believe that a person like him will definitely unify the world and become the master of the entire Kyushu Continent. The world of the well-being is gone, and we must recognize this reality."

Qu Chuxiao sighed, sat down on his seat dejectedly, shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "How can I not know this simple truth? But I have been favored by the previous dynasty, how can I say that betrayal is betrayal? , did the first king die at the hands of Li Jiuyuan, but I went to surrender to Li Jiuyuan, wouldn't I provoke the scolding of thousands of people and become a disloyal and unfilial rebel thief"?

If a person starts making excuses, it means that he has backed down. Qu Chuxiao's current situation is exactly like this. Xu Youning saw through his thoughts, and then said: "All history is written by the winners, and the losers are always the foils." I think we shouldn't worry about what people will say or think in the future, but we should worry about whether we can show our ambitions and become useful people in the future."

Qu Chuxiao was silent for a long time, and then waved his hand to signal them to retreat. He sat in the big tent until dawn. After daybreak, when the first rays of the sun reached the tent, the envoys of Ba Niu also arrived.

"The general of my family has always admired General Qu's name, and the villain came to visit." As the envoy spoke, he handed Ba Niu's handwritten letter to Qu Chuxiao.

"Brother, the Akiyama Peninsula Lieutenant, the Grand Governor, and the Great General Li Jiuyuan, specially worship the garrison of Kangle Kyoto, and the Great General Qu:

The name of the general is like thunder, and the talent of the general is ten times that of Si, so he cannot show his ambitions, and as for those here, it is not a crime of war, it is really the will of heaven, and it cannot be competed with intelligence. For example, there are many people today, and there are no less than 10 million people who want to get it, and those who can have this ability, I think, are only a few. Longshi Fort Lu Xinghe, the world's famous general, has a deep strategy, if he is based on the dome, all take Mingsha Mountain, and then send troops to Changtu, in order to fight for the world, the world is at your fingertips. The big monks in the capital, if they can fully base the surrounding three auxiliaries, and then send troops to the six towns to gradually unify Kangle, their power should not be underestimated. It's a pity that Lu Xinghe stubbornly defended Longshi Fort, and the great monk stubbornly defended the capital, with no desire to compete with the world. Other than that, we are from the Akiyama Peninsula.

Although he is not talented, he is willing to gather the intelligence of the world, first take Dongduo, then take Mingshashan, and then use the heyday of the army to Linjiuzhou, gradually sweep away the thieves, unify the world, so that the world is one family, and there will never be the pain of war.

Those who take the world as their home will conspire with the people of the world. The general is a genius, if he is not of the same heart as me, who is still of the same heart with him? Li someone brushed off the dust of the room, burned incense and waited, hoping that the general would be able to meet with a certain meeting.

Li Jiuyuan 100 Bow to the Head"

The wording of this letter is humble enough, and it can be regarded as giving Qu Chuxiao a good step, how could Qu Chuxiao not understand? He could let Xu Youning accompany the envoy to meet Ba Niu, and dedicate his seal to him.

Ba Niu did not take his seal, but together with Xu Youning, he watched his 100,000 army, and wrote an edict for him to bring back, the general content of which is that Qu Chuxiao still maintained his original position and was named Shifang, his subordinates were still under his command, and Kyoto City was completely handed over to him for defense, but their flag was changed from the bat flag of the Kangle people to the Nine Dragons flag of the people of the Akiyama Peninsula, and the clothing also changed somewhat.

Lu Kuan and Xu Youning were meritorious in persuading them to surrender, Lu Kuan was named Yuyuan Hou, and Xu Youning was named Lu Zhenhou, and the two people listened to it before the army. Soon after, Dawn also moved from the Akiyama Peninsula to Kyoto, and a new Todori dynasty was formed.
