...

In the battle last night, if Zhe Keqiu and Wang Huan hadn't reacted in time to lead Zhejia's children and Jiu Jiedu to block Du Po and others, the consequences would have been disastrous.

After the war, Tong Guan, who was terrified, ordered the whole army to retreat ten miles and set up camp again.

Gather up the rout and check the food and supplies. In the battle last night, the Song army was killed and injured more than [-], and less than [-]% of the food and supplies were left.

There is no doubt that this is an out-and-out defeat.

Tong Guan's face turned livid, and he searched for the culprit among his generals.

Soon, Tong Guan's gaze rested on Song Jiang, and he thought, "If you, a cripple, didn't respect me and only sent a personal guard to report the enemy's camp robbery, how could I be defeated like this!"

Tong Guan looked away from Song Jiang, and said: "Which one of you has a plan to break the city?"

The generals looked at each other, and finally the deputy commander Tan Zhen said: "Commander, why don't you rest for a few days to recover your morale, and then discuss how to break the city?"

Tong Guan also knew that after such a big defeat, it would be impossible not to rest for a few days, so he said: "Then let's rest for a few days first."

The Song army rested for nine days in a row, but the generals still didn't think of a way to break the city.

Just when the anxious Tong Guan was about to attack, someone suddenly came to report: "The little lady has come to visit the commander-in-chief."

Although Tong Jiaoxiu is the daughter of Tong Guan's younger brother Tong Jian, she was raised by Tong Guan. Therefore, Tong Jiaoxiu is equivalent to Tong Guan's adopted daughter.

Because he is an eunuch and cannot have his own offspring, Tong Guan dotes on Tong Jiaoxiu very tightly.

So, when he heard that Tong Jiaoxiu was coming, Tong Guan swept away his previous depression and said, "Bring her in, forget it, I'd better pick her up personally."

While speaking, Tong Guan got up and left the Chinese army tent.

Seeing Tong Jiaoxiu, Tong Guan's old face was serious, and he blamed: "This army is in chaos, why did you come here?"

Tong Jiaoxiuyan smiled and said, "Daughter is here to help father repel the enemy."

Tong Guan thought Tong Jiaoxiu was joking, and said: "I will definitely make your father happy."

At the same time as he said this, Tong Guan led Tong Jiaoxiu into the main tent of the Chinese army.

"Jiaoxiu, you..."

Tong Guan looked back, and besides Tong Jiaoxiu, there was another person following in, so Tong Guan's words stopped abruptly.

Tong Guan looked at this reckless person, frowned and said, "Who are you? Why are you so unruly?"

The man clasped his fists and said, "Fan Quan, the villain, is the cousin of the King of Chu. He has met the Duke."

Tong Guan reacted for a moment, then his eyes flashed, and then he asked calmly, "King Chu? Wang Qing?"

Fan Quan said: "Exactly."

Tong Guan asked, "Why are you with my daughter?"

Fan Quandao: "The king of Chu and his wife are old acquaintances."

Tong Guan looked at Tong Jiaoxiu and asked, "Do you know Wang Qing?"

Tong Jiaoxiu said: "It's not just my daughter who recognizes it, Father also recognizes it."

Tong Guan is very different. He doesn't remember knowing a person named Wang Qing.

Seeing that Tong Guan hadn't remembered who Wang Qing was, Tong Jiaoxiu reminded: "Father still remembers my daughter's friend a few years ago, the one who was assigned to Shanzhou by Father."

Tong Guan thought for a while, then suddenly remembered who Wang Qing was, and asked, "It's him?"

Tong Jiaoxiu smiled and said, "Isn't that the bad guy?"

Tong Guan narrowed his eyes and said, "Why is he looking for you?"

Tong Jiaoxiu said: "He said, there is a great achievement, it is better to be cheap than you, daddy, than to be cheap to outsiders."

Tong Guan asked, "What great achievement?"

Tong Jiaoxiu shook her head, expressing that she didn't know.

Fan Quan took over the conversation and said, "The king of Chu is willing to accept the public's recruitment."

……

Because of the defeat of the Song army some time ago, the morale of Wancheng is booming.

At this moment, the King of Chu, Wang Qing, personally led an army of [-] to [-] to help. Li Yan, the governor of the Anton Protectorate, and [-] Liangshan troops also came.

This pushed the morale in Wancheng even higher.

As soon as they met, Wang Qing said to Liu Min and Du Po: "You fought beautifully, you two are really first-class generals!"

Liu Min and Du Po said: "Your Majesty praises you." Then they bowed to Li Yan: "I have seen the Great Governor."

Li Yan was full of liking, and said: "General Liu, General Du, please hurry up."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, a group of people entered the government office.

Liu Min and Du Po asked Wang Qing to take the lead.

Wang Qing smiled and said to Li Yan: "You should take this seat, fourth brother."

Li Yan declined and said: "Third brother, what are you talking about, you should naturally sit in this seat."

Wang Qing looked at Li Zhu and asked, "Military Master, who do you think should take this seat?"

Li Zhuchang sighed, and said: "Since Your Majesty doesn't want to sit, let the governor sit."

Wang Qing said with a smile: "Look, the military advisers all said that the fourth brother should sit in this seat, so don't refuse any more."

Du Po felt the strangeness of the atmosphere, but he still said: "Your Majesty respects the Governor, and you can set up another seat next to this seat. How can you give up your seat to the Governor?"

Liu Min, who roughly guessed what was going on, remained silent.

Wang Qing looked at Du Po, and said: "I have been recruited, and I am no longer your king, so I am not qualified to sit in this position."

Hearing from Wang Qing that he was recruited, all the generals of the Chu army were in an uproar!
Feng Tai clasped his fists and said: "Song Lord is stupid, Song ministers are treacherous, Your Majesty cannot be recruited!"

Wei He said: "Your Majesty, we are at odds with the Song court, how can we be recruited by it?"

Wang Qing stretched out his hands to stop other people who wanted to speak, and said, "Wang Qing was originally a libertine in the city of Tokyo. He was forced to take the road of rebellion. He committed a lot of trouble and committed a heinous crime... Still, Wang Qing can't pay it back. The only thing Wang Qing can do is to stop being a disaster and stop evil... In addition, with your help, Wang Qing has the means to clean up, Wang Qing thank you."

After speaking, Wang Qing bowed to Liu Min, Du Po and others.

Seeing this, some people's eyes immediately turned red!
Wang Qing got up, and said again: "If I can keep you happy, Wang Qing is actually willing to be the king of Chu forever, but the current situation is very clear. We have nowhere to go. If we resist, everyone will die. I'm not Tian Hu, I won't choose a dead end, and I don't want you to choose a dead end."

Someone said: "We have just defeated the Song army, why have nowhere to go?"

Wang Qingdao: "Can you keep winning?"

The man who had seen the powerful fighting power of the Song army opened his mouth, and then closed his mouth unwillingly.

Wang Qingdao: "Let's not talk about the number of soldiers and generals. We need money and food to fight. We have been fighting for less than four months, and our money and food will bottom out. After half a month at most, I won't even be able to supply your food and grass. How to continue fighting?"

Everyone was silent, they knew more or less about this.

Wang Qing said again: "As for me, being a friend and a brother is good, but being an emperor is not good. My ambition is to fight with others, seek flowers and ask willows. I don't have the ambition to be an emperor, nor do I have the ability to be an emperor. , it will harm me, and it will also harm you."

Many people have already cried at this time!
Wang Qing continued: "I can't give you a future, and I can't harm you. I have found you an excellent next home. You should have guessed it. He is my fourth brother Li Yan, not me. Boast, my fourth brother is definitely a first-class hero in the world. He can be a king and an emperor when he advances, and he is also a vassal prince when he retires. The key is that he values ​​love and righteousness, and loves the people like a son. You and him will definitely be able to I have a bright future, and of course, if you want to be recruited by the imperial court, I can also take you to join the imperial court... Besides you, people in several other cities have already made their choices, so hurry up and make your choice."

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone cried loudly.

Wang Qing turned to Li Yan and said, "Fourth brother, they are calling you."

After speaking, Wang Qing pushed Li Yan to the main seat.

The moment he sat down, Li Yan clearly saw that Wang Qing's eyes were also red.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect!
