The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 163 The envoy Gongyun pleads for mercy and provokes the enemy to scold Jianfeng ([-])

Li Gongyun said: "Your Majesty, it's better to put this person in custody for the time being, and make a decision when the war is over. If we Qu Yue wins, we will kill you at that time, but if I, Qu Yue, lose, you can also use it." Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to keep his life, to keep my Quyue territory, and to keep your supreme throne than to kill him now?"

Li Huan nodded approvingly, and said with a smile: "Well, you are indeed smart, and this method is indeed feasible. Then I will hand him over to you. No matter what, don't let him escape, otherwise you are the only one asking!"

Li Gongyun cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the general will definitely put him in the sky prison himself, and will never let him escape."

Li Huan looked at Li Gongyun, and rarely showed a sincere smile, "Okay, I believe you." Then he waved his hand again, and said: "I promise you that you will go out with me, but on the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes. If you want to protect me, you have to protect yourself first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Gongyun bowed excitedly, and then made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Zongquan.Zhang Zongquan saw that Li Gongyun not only interceded for him, but also treated him with courtesy, which was completely different from Li Huan's violent and domineering attitude just now, so Zhang Zongquan couldn't help feeling good about him. Go to prison.

More than ten days later, Yongzhou Prefecture Yamen.

Hou Renbao sat in the middle of the back hall with a face as heavy as water, without any expression on his face, only occasionally when his eyes turned, he showed a little nervousness and anger.Kou Zhun sat on a chair next to him, staring at Hou Renbao, waiting for him to speak.

After a long while, Hou Renbao said: "Brother Kou, the government sent Mr. Zhang to Qu Yue, but was detained by Li Huan without reason. What do you think we should do about this?"

Seeing that Kou Zhun was thinking about it and didn't make a sound, he asked again: "In my opinion, Brother Kou, should we notify Liu Cheng, Sun Quanxing and others to send troops immediately, and accompany us to conquer Qu Yue and rescue Master Zhang?"

Kou Zhun looked at Hou Renbao and said, "My lord, if we stand still at this time, we will definitely be underestimated by Li Huan, and the morale of the army will also be shaken. But the government has not issued an edict accusing Li Huan of being a traitor. If we rashly send troops, it is inevitable that we will come out of nowhere." , the pros and cons of it, adults should think twice."

Hou Renbao wondered: "What Kou Xiandi said is true. At this time we are too passive. It is not right to send troops, and it is not right not to send troops. What can we do?"

When the two were indecisive, a yamen servant suddenly ran in from outside the door.He ran straight to Hou Renbao, panting and said: "Master... Your Excellency, good... Good news, the government sent someone to send an imperial edict, asking Your Excellency to send troops immediately!"

Hou Renbao suddenly stood up and asked, "Where is the angel now?"

The yamen servant pointed to the direction behind him and said, "The angel is now in the hall."

Hou Renbao and Kou Zhun looked at each other, and both walked quickly to the main hall.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the main hall, and Hou Renbao stepped into the hall first.I saw a young eunuch standing in the hall holding the imperial decree in his hand. He hurriedly bowed to the ground, "Your Majesty Hou Renbao has seen an angel."

The little eunuch said: "Lord Hou, the imperial decree is hereby, and I invite the two of you to accept the decree."

Hou Renbao and Kou Zhun hurriedly knelt down in front of the little eunuch and paid respects.The little eunuch smiled, held the imperial decree in both hands, and said in a loud voice: "Qin, the National Acoustic Education Institute, Wei Ling Xianji. Therefore, it is the territory of the Yuan site, and it has not been returned to the map of Yudi. This side is close to Wuling, and there was chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty. The part of the region became a hypocritical state, and it became the custom of the deaf and blind. And Panyu Diding was first issued in Zhengshuo. Although the head of the Jishou was called a vassal, it was quite self-reinforcing. Is this the case for a big ceremony? There is no other way to fight against the people. It is advisable to fight against the heavens, and use pi to change against the barbarians. It is advisable to use Hou Renbao, Liu Cheng and others to lead the crusade."

When Hou Renbao heard the words, he hurriedly said: "The official is a sage, and the next official, Hou Renbao, will accept the order!"

The little eunuch handed the imperial decree to Hou Renbao, and immediately said: "Master Hou, the mission of the miscellaneous family has been completed, so I will take my leave."

"Your Majesty will send off the angel respectfully." The two stood up as they spoke, and sent the little eunuch out of the state office.

Hou Renbao looked at the young eunuch's back and asked: "Brother Kou, the official's sending secret envoys here must be intentional for us to send troops as soon as possible so as to seize the opportunity. I wonder when my brother thinks it is safest for us to send troops?"

Kou Zhun said without hesitation: "My lord, since the official has issued an imperial edict, it should be sooner rather than later. I will write a few letters and inform the lords Liu and Sun that a group of soldiers will send out to Qu Yue in ten days' time!" "

Hou Renbao nodded, "Okay, Brother Yu has been wanting to conquer Qu Yue for a long time, and the time is finally ripe today. You go and inform the other armies to prepare, and then invite Miss Murong and Shaoxia Wan to go together. Brother Yu will call you soon." Li Huan knows how powerful I am, Da Song!"

After receiving the order, several armies quickly gathered together, mobilized food and grass, and were ready to go.Ten days later, Hou Renbao led the army out of Yongzhou, and Liu Cheng led the navy out of Guangzhou. Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked Quyue by water.The two armies drove straight into the territory of Quyue, invincible, and approached Hualu with an irresistible force.

Near Lang Son, an open hill.

The hills are covered with endless weeds, no flowers, no sheep, no horses.At this time, the weather was slightly overcast, and the strong wind blew the weeds as high as half a person up and down like waves, making a "rustling" sound. Looking at it at a glance, one felt an inexplicable sense of desolation.

Suddenly, at the end of the hill, a team appeared faintly.At first it was just a few blurred black dots, but the black dots soon became bigger and denser, and in a blink of an eye they gathered into a mighty army of tens of thousands.

The leader was a middle-aged man. He was wearing armor and a long sword in his belt. There was shrewdness and bravery in his brows, but he still couldn't hide his literati aura.On his left is a middle-aged military general in a red robe and holding a big knife.On the right is a handsome and elegant civil servant.The expressions of these three people are very serious, and the official air of the whole body reveals their identities without a doubt.

Behind the three were two young men, a purple-clothed girl, and a ruffian young man.Not only did these two people not have the slightest official air, their expressions were more casual than ordinary people, and they did not have the seriousness and tension before the war.

The girl in purple was riding on the back of a thin horse, and while slapping the horse's butt, she complained: "What kind of broken horse is this? It can't go as fast as this girl. How can you ride it to kill the enemy!"

The ruffian young man rode on a majestic horse and joked: "Little witch, since you said that this horse can't go as fast as you, why don't you go down and walk, what are you doing on someone else's back?"

The girl in purple glared at him when she heard the words, "Stinky beggar, if I don't kick you a few times, your ass will itch, won't you? Be careful, this girl will steal your horse and let you go down!"

The pissed young man smiled and said: "You are a girl, and you still want to ride this tall horse? Be careful that you don't succeed on it, and let it throw you off. You are a tiger in the first place. If you break your brain again, you can't ride it." Just being stupid!"

The girl in purple was about to fight back, but when she heard the soldiers behind her laugh out loud, she turned her head and gave everyone a hard look, then fell silent.The ruffian young man took off the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip of the wine, and said to the soldiers: "Brother, this is what's wrong with you! How can you laugh at them in front of them?"

The girl in purple snorted coldly: "That's right, do you have any rules?"

The soldiers all restrained their smiles when they heard the words, and just about to say a few words of apology, the naughty young man saw this but said: "If you want to laugh at her, you should find a place where she can't hear you, otherwise she would be so self-effacing." , so stupid, really angry that one punch can send you all to heaven?"

The girl in purple slapped the horse's ass, leaned against the ruffian young man's horse, raised her hand to grab the ruffian young man's ear, and said angrily: "You stinking beggar, tell me! Are you always behind my girl's back and secretly laughing at me? "

The ruffian young man quickly shook his head, "No, no, how dare I be a young hero?"

The girl in purple snorted, "I'm sorry you don't dare!"

The pissed young man grinned, and said: "You little witch does nothing wrong, if I always secretly laugh at you, I don't know how many times I will die from laughing. How many delicious things are there in this world that I haven't eaten?" However, there are still so many good wines that this young hero has never drunk, if this little life is for nothing, it is really not worth it!"
