For someone like him, who comes from a famous family in Kansai, but needs to climb up step by step, and someone like the Han family, who is just a generation or two old but is in power, it is a bit embarrassing in itself... When I was a child, I went to a relative's house, those Prime ministers and Zhu Guo often slap their thighs and say that this child is good and can be in my position in the future. But in fact, which child would not say so? If you take it seriously, it is over. Because your surname is Li, because your grandfather and If the great-great-grandfather has been the Prime Minister and Zhu Guo, then he can be the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister. What about the biological son of the current Prime Minister and the Prime Minister?

Even if you don't care about this and return your ancestors' seats as Prime Minister and Zhuguo, but you are such a big family, with four or five houses per surname and dozens of young people in each house, one Prime Minister position is not enough.

That is to say, there are only a few families like the Bai family, the Dou family, and the Zhang family that can maintain their family name while actually holding power for a long time and be worthy of their name.

Of course, after all, they are Kansai people, and they are still 10,000 times stronger than the Hebei clan and the Eight Kodong families. At least there is no invisible ceiling, it just requires hard work at a few thresholds.

Turning back to the front, Li Qingchen realized the arrogance of the other party, but had no choice but to do anything about it, especially since the other party, as Han Bolong's younger brother, did not rely on his elder brother's support. Instead, he had a reputation for bravery. After his elder brother's death, he often led troops independently and went out of town. , resume, and strength are all here, even with Uncle Cao as his backing, how can he be qualified to motivate others in person?

So, Li Qingchen just thought about it for a while, but he forced a smile under the surprised look of his sister: "General Han likes me, so I am naturally obligated... But before entering the city, there is one more thing I want to ask General Han. "

"Come on." Han Yingong was also a little surprised.

"Captain Lu Changheng." Li Qingchen mentioned a reliable person to him. "It is said that he came to see General Han. I think he was the one who informed General Han about the military situation in Yuncheng. I don't know where he is now? Yes. Do you want to act with those five thousand people?"

Han Yingong smiled slightly and nodded directly: "Yes, Lieutenant Lu is going north with the five thousand people. I even directly informed those generals that once they go north, they will be temporarily at Captain Lu's disposal... However, Captain Lu The captain is really not in Dang County at this time, but in Mangdang Mountain. It is said that he wants to go north to recruit a group of bandits."

"In that case, I will go into the city right now." Li Qingchen understood in his heart and couldn't help but take a long breath, nodded repeatedly, and then stood up.

Frankly speaking, this situation is much better than he thought.

"Don't you need to change your clothes?" Han Yingong also relaxed.

"It just so happens that this sour smell proves that the emptiness of Jiyin is not a lie, and then proves that five thousand troops can easily cut off the northern retreat." Li Qingchen answered frankly. "It is also good for this nondescript internal servant army in the city to see clearly earlier. Situation - Even if the imperial court encounters difficulties, it is not for messed-up people like them to take advantage of the situation and cause trouble."

"He seems a bit like Cao Zhongcheng's disregard for his own safety." Han Yingong squinted his eyes and smiled, stood up, and called the attendant beside him again. "Bring me some wine, I'll give Li Twelve Lang a drink."

In this way, Li Twelve drank a glass of wine and went straight to the city to work as a lobbyist regardless of being exhausted and dirty. Although Li Shisan was discouraged by his brother's troubles, he could not rest assured after all and had no choice but to leave.

But Han Yingong just sat there, watching the two disciples of the Guanlong clan come and go in such a hurry, with an erratic expression, as if he was recalling something, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Not to mention what happened to Han Yingong, just that the Li brothers and sisters came to Xiayi City and easily summoned a basket - it can be seen that there has indeed been communication and discussion inside and outside the city, and it is definitely not Han Yingong's lies.

In fact, when the two of them entered, they easily met Wang Gonggong, the leader of the chamberlain army. In fact, Wang Gonggong was more respectable than Han Yingong. After the other party briefly explained the situation, he actually prepared enough hot rice and soup for the two brothers.

Li Qingzhou was fine, but Li Qingchen was really hungry and unbearable, so he simply swept away the remaining clouds.

After eating, he came to see Wang Gonggong again. The latter with a thin face just chuckled: "I thought Li Twelve Lang was here to scare me, but I didn't expect that he really just escaped... Is Jiyin City so empty?"

Only then did Li Qingchen wake up, but he took advantage of the situation to persuade: "My lord, since you know the interests and dangers, you should make a decision quickly, because the deposed dragon army will undoubtedly be defeated. In this case, the longer you delay, the more it will attract General Han." If you don't do it quickly, the consequences will be even worse in the future... Don't count on Duke Niu and the others to save their face, General Han is going to the Eastern Capital after this war."

The prince laughed dryly: "I know all this, but Li Twelve Lang, do you know what conditions General Han offered?"

Li Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Are you going to kill the culprit? So is it difficult for the prince to accept it?"

"No." Wang Gonggong shook his head. "If that's the case, I will agree... He wants all of us servants to surrender naked. We are not allowed to take any clothes or weapons. We must go out of the city and enter the camp to work as coolies with the army." "

"So what's the matter?" Li Qingchen was silent for a moment, but then asked. "You have seen the situation before. It is good to have such a result. It is better than losing a lot of lives."

The prince shook his head and answered seriously: "He didn't mention the consequences of the thousands of palaces and local people in the city, otherwise I would have surrendered long ago."

Li Qingchen and Li Qingzhou were stunned on the spot.

After a while, Li Shisanniang asked carefully, "Didn't you ask General Han?"

"When I asked, I just said, 'It's just a matter of surrender or not.'" Wang Gonggong replied calmly. "Otherwise, I would have surrendered long ago."

Li Shisanniang came to see her brother. The latter was silent for a moment, pressed his abdomen and asked with all his strength: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Before you two came, you wanted to keep a watch." Wang Gongzheng said calmly. "After you two came, you still wanted to keep a watch. But if you do, it will be meaningless. Instead, you will lose your life in vain.

, what can I do? So, what both of you said are true? General Han is going to Dongdu, so there is no need to sell Jiangdu's face? The imperial court was besieged on three sides, and the east road had been broken through, and the Dragon Army was forced to go east to deal with it.

Is it empty and vulnerable?"

Li Shisanniang came to see her brother again, and Li Qingchen pressed his abdomen, paused for a long time, and then nodded heavily: "I swear to God, what I said is true... Yuncheng has been destroyed, and Long Jundong has been deposed.

The front line collapsed. I can't think of what Zhang Xingneng could do with the 20,000 remaining troops on the Western Front. I don't believe he could repeat the old pattern of Mahu. What he could do was just to respond to the incident and just take it as a treat.

"

At this point, Li Qingchen looked at his sister seriously again: "I know why Sister Sisi is here. She wants to take Zhang Xing to escape... I should have thought that it is impossible for a smart person like Zhang San to

I don’t know that the first instance of rebellion is bound to be destroyed...the Dragon Gang will come back sooner or later, and Zhang Xing is indeed a serious problem for the imperial court."

Li Qingzhou also suddenly woke up, but she was still a little uneasy because she vaguely remembered that she had been lurking in Jiyin for the past few days, transporting materials and so on. It didn't feel like responding to an incident at all, but rather she felt like she was going all out.

But it seems that going all out will not change the situation, right?

So, just stay silent.

Similarly, when Wang Gonggong heard the two people talking, he also opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he became depressed.

There was a burst of muffled thunder, followed by a crackling sound. Obviously, it started to rain again outside. With the weather like this, what does it mean for mortals to be miserable?

"I will lead the way to surrender the day after tomorrow." Eunuch Wang sighed. "Li Twelve Lang, I know I am not qualified to ask for anything, but since you have got involved in this matter, please be sure to protect yourself and try your best to do your best.

Be considerate of the innocent people in the city."

Li Twelve opened his mouth to speak, but it was obvious that he still knew the ways of the army after serving as an official for a long time, and he also knew Han Yingong's unruly and toughness from the exchange just now.

On the other hand, Li Shisanniang, who had just joined the Taitung Town Fu Division in Jing'an this year, blurted out: "This is natural."

The prince nodded heavily.

Almost at the same time, tens of miles east of Xiayi, in the Juyi Hall on the top of Mangdang Mountain, the great leader Wang Zhen, nicknamed the Tong-Arm Great Sage, summoned several of the leaders below and just gave an explanation.

My own difficulties:

"Everyone, you should know that in the past few days, many of my old colleagues have come to me in turn. Some hope that I can go north to fight against the army, while others hope that I can be recruited into the army to fight against bandits. I am already confused.

Don’t know who to help?”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone below knew what the other party meant, and someone immediately laughed: "Does the big leader mean that we can sit on the mountain without helping each other, so as not to ruin our loyalty?"

Wang Zhenqian laughed, he really thought so.

Moreover, for Wang Zhen, there was absolutely no discount on his previous commitment and loyalty to Zhang Xing, but Sima Zheng had a great influence on him. At that time, he was really shaken, but Sima Zheng did not accept the promise in the end.

When the soldiers came out, he didn't recognize Han Yingong or anything like that, but the arrival of Bai Yousi and Zhang Xing's summons really made him waver again.

However, isn't this his old friend Lu Changheng coming to see him again? At this time, the two of them simply don't help each other to avoid ruining their loyalty, which is Wang Zhen's real idea.

Seeing Wang Zhenlai's smile, the other leaders were unwilling to send troops, but they all agreed, and the matter seemed to be settled.

But at this moment, the second master in the hall, Chef Fan Laoliu, suddenly said: "Master, do you know that another colleague of yours, Zhou Xingfan, also came from the southeast today and went to the mountain?"

Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed: "Where is Xiao Zhou now?"

"In my fairy cave." Chef Fan said, stroking his stomach. "When he came, Captain Lu had not left yet. I was afraid that they would fight, so I put him in my place."

Wang Zhen took a long breath and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for your hard work, Six."

"It's not hard work." Chef Fan continued calmly. "The reason why he is willing to stay is because I promised him that I will definitely convince you to send troops north to fight against the army... Otherwise, judging from his appearance, I am afraid that he will

I want to make a life-and-death fight with Lieutenant Lu so that I can force you to submit."

Wang Zhen was stunned again, and then wanted to say something, but was stunned again and again, and finally realized what the other party meant: "What does Lao Liu mean? Are you not interested in the incident when Third Brother came to the mountain to drive the tiger down the mountain and cross the river?

Are you still holding a grudge? How come you have such a clear stance?"

"It's natural to be resentful. Who wouldn't be resentful when something like that happens?" Chef Fan stood up and touched his stomach. "But what about the big boss?"

"Then..." Wang Zhen, who was sitting in the middle seat, didn't know what to say for a while.

But Chef Fan had already continued talking: "The reason is very simple. He was an official at the time and I was a thief. He became an official to deal with thieves. Although I felt unhappy, I knew the truth. It was hard to say that others were wrong. I only blamed myself.

He has no ability... In the same way, Mr. Master, given today's situation, if you demoted the army and become an official because of the situation, you will naturally have the views of the army, and I have nothing to say."

Wang Zhen twisted his body in his seat uneasily.

"But now that he has not become an official, he is still a thief. Since he is a thief, he must have the principles of a thief... How can an officer and a soldier show up as if they are not helping each other when they are fighting to the death with the rebels?

If you act like this, no matter which one of the officers, soldiers or thieves wins, can you be spared?" Chef Fan continued.

Wang Zhen was silent, and other leaders in the hall were also talking about it, as if they all felt that Fan Er's words were very reasonable.

"So, big boss." Chef Fan continued to ask seriously. "Are you going to surrender the army, or are you going to continue to be a thief?"

Wang Zhen continued to be silent for a while, and then he spoke under the gaze of the leaders who gradually calmed down: "If Brother Sima doesn't come, how can other things like this convince me? I won't be demoted."

"Then I will continue to be a thief." Chef Fan looked around with a shy belly. "Since you are a thief, you should act like a thief... I propose here that you ask Chief Zhou to come up, and then we can discuss together to send troops to go north to help

The matter of deposing the Dragon Gang! What do you think, big boss, and everyone else?"
