Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 688 Pang Qiuxia: Perhaps, I came at the wrong time [3 more]

"Report——"

A scout came to Duan Wu, who was supervising the battle, on Pegasus:

"A Confederate army is coming!"

"Commander Du?"

Duan Wu had no idea how to march and fight, so he had to ask Du Fu beside him:
"What do you think...what should we do?"

Du Fu looked at Pang Wanchun and his sister who were guarding the palace gate in front of him, and shook his head helplessly:
"Commander-in-Chief Duan, our military strength is limited. We can no longer do what we want today..."

Du Fu was very depressed. If they had 30,000, no, even 20,000 troops, the result would be different!
It can only be said that the embankment is higher than the shore...

Duan Wu is such a waste!

Upon hearing what Du Fu meant, Duan Wu's expression changed:

Blame me?
But Duan Wu did not get angry with Du Fu. After all, he still had to rely on Du Fu to fight the war.

Duan Wu snorted coldly: "Commander Du wants to withdraw the troops?"

if not?
Du Fu sighed:

"Commander Duan, if we wait for the Southern Army to arrive, we can attack them from both sides together with the Southern Army guarding the gate of the Imperial Palace!
"We are attacked from both sides. It will be difficult to leave..."

Duan Wu spat and glanced unwillingly at the precarious gate of the palace:

"Just a little bit..."

Isn't it because we don't have enough troops?

Du Fu didn't want to say anything to him, after all, he was the brother-in-law of the King of Chu, so he could only urge him:

"Please make a quick decision, Governor Duan!"

"Ugh!"

Duan Wu stomped his feet helplessly:

"go!"

……

"How's your brother?"

When Liu Gao arrived and saw the sea of ​​blood and corpses outside the palace gate, he hurried forward to ask about the injured Pang Wanchun.

It can be said that Pang Wanchun fought a bloody battle. He was covered in blood and even left bloody footprints with every step he took.

"I'm fine..."

Pang Wanchun supported Liu Gao and waved his hands weakly:

"Just a little tired..."

After saying this, Pang Wanchun's body went limp.

Liu Gao quickly hugged him and summoned the imperial physician.

After the imperial physician came to examine Pang Wanchun, he said that there were no fatal injuries and Pang Wanchun had fainted due to exhaustion.

"Consort——"

"Brother Liu Haizhu——"

Fang Jinzhi and Pang Qiuxia ran over to Liu Gao for comfort. They also participated in the war.

Pang Qiuxia realized something was wrong halfway through the run, so she had to slow down silently and watched Fang Jinzhi fall into Liu Gao's arms.

She also wanted to throw herself into Liu Gao's arms, but she didn't dare...

Maybe she came at the wrong time.

"Wang Qing, you bastard!"

Fang Jie was so angry that he started cursing, but it was of no use.

The 20,000 imperial guards in Bangyuan Cave were either killed or wounded, making pursuit impossible.

It is impossible to transfer troops from other provinces to attack the State of Chu. The Southern Kingdom has been in turmoil after experiencing so much.

If you can't even protect yourself, how can you have the energy for revenge?
Fang Jie could only feel helpless and furious:
"Take advantage of someone's misfortune and add insult to injury!

"Wang Qing, you bastard, I swear to kill you!"

……

Side hall.

"Excluding the casualties, there are only about 12,000 of the 20,000 Imperial Guards now..."

Fang Jie reported to Fang Tianding with a gloomy face.

Fang Tianding's expression was also very ugly. He took over a mess...

Today, there are only five states left in the South: Shezhou, Muzhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou and Xuanzhou.

After the Fangmao Rebellion, the army suffered countless casualties and was severely damaged.

On one hand, they were attacked by the imperial court, and on the other hand, they were attacked by the State of Chu...

He has endured too much that he shouldn't have to endure at his age!
He is still a twenty-year-old boy!
Fang Tianding asked Liu Gao with a sad face:
"Brother-in-law, for now...how should we deal with this?"

"Stable." Liu Gao habitually waved his goose feather fan:

“Stability comes first.”

Fang Tianding only understood half of what he heard:
"Brother-in-law, how to be stable?"

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day.

"Brother, you take the throne first."

As Liu Gao spoke, he looked around, keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully to the changes in everyone's expressions:
“Mobilize troops from all states to help Yuandong, and the palace must have at least 30,000 imperial guards to protect its safety.

"Don't worry about the court, I'll take care of it for you.

"The main thing is the Chu State, we must guard it strictly.

"Don't think about fighting externally for now, conserve your energy first.

"After I recover my strength, I will talk about revenge."

Lou Minzhong was very unhappy:
I am the Prime Minister. Your Highness, why don’t you ask me when you have something to ask, but ask your brother-in-law?

The left prime minister Lou Minzhong was definitely not a treacherous minister, but at this time he couldn't help but come out to argue:
"I wonder how the prince consort can stand up to the imperial court?"

Liu Gao didn't need to speak, Fang Tianding spoke for him:

“If I succeed to the throne, my husband will guard Hangzhou for me.

"With the prince consort here, the imperial army will never be able to march south!"

Are you stupid?
Lou Minzhong was stunned:

"Hangzhou is of vital importance. How can we hand it over to the prince consort?"

Hangzhou is the largest city in Jiangnan. Fang La gave Hangzhou to Fang Tianding because he is the eldest prince!
If he hands it over to his husband, isn't he afraid of being tricked by his husband?
"We're all family, so why not?"

When Fang Tianding said this, he thought of Fang Mao and felt a pain in his heart, but he still said firmly:
"I believe in my brother-in-law!"

Liu Gao was stunned for a moment, then Tian Ding bowed to him:

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. I'll definitely keep Hangzhou safe with me here!"

Since Fang Tianding and Liu Gao said so, Lou Minzhong had nothing to say and could only hold it in.

"Your Highness, ascend the throne first!"

Du Wei persuaded Fang Tianding:
"In an emergency, take the necessary measures and keep everything simple!

"Only when your highness ascends the throne can the Southern Kingdom be stabilized!"

Deng Yuanjue: "Your Majesty, ascend the throne first!"

Pang Wanchun: "Your Majesty, ascend the throne first!"

Everyone present persuaded Fang Tianding to ascend the throne first, and Fang Tianding pretended to agree reluctantly.

……

That night.

Liu Gao and Wu Song slept with their feet touching.

Wu Song asked Liu Gao: "Brother, do you really want to help him defend Hangzhou?"

"Of course."

Liu Gao patted Wu Song's hairy legs that were pressing on his hair, and Wu Song reflexively moved the hairy legs away.

Pushing his long hair back, Liu Gao sighed:

“Plans can’t change as fast as they should, and now the situation has changed.

"Fang Tianding believes in me, Fang Jie believes in me, Deng Yuanjue, Pang Wanchun and the others all believe in me.

“They are my brothers too, I cannot let them down.

"Since I have promised them, I will never use military force against the Southern Kingdom again."

Wu Song expressed his understanding.

"Well, we've been fighting for half a day, let's take a break early."

Liu Gao closed his eyes and prepared to open the package.

[Ding! Congratulations to the owner for obtaining five "Youth Pills"! ]

Youth pill?
What a good thing!

Liu Gao asked the system, although the youth pill cannot keep you young forever, it can slow down the aging process.

For example, Fang Jinzhi is eighteen years old this year. After taking the youth pill, her aging speed is one fifth of the normal speed.

In other words, Fang Jinzhi looked like she was twenty when she was twenty-eight.

This way, when Fang Jinzhi dies of old age, she will look like a charming young woman.

I didn't expect that Fang Jie's "Fateful Friendship" gift pack would give me this. Unfortunately, there are only five of them, and they can't be used in combination.

Liu Gao counted on his fingers but it was not enough, so he could only earn it later.

[Ding! Congratulations to the master for obtaining the talent "Dream into the Fairyland"! ]

What is this again?
