Gong Yonggu discussed everything with Yu Yin, Li Yukui and others. After they left, he slowly walked to the case and took a piece of rice paper. When he was about to pick up a pen to write, he stopped again.
I saw his eyes staring closely at the rice paper, but he never wrote, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Snapped!"
A drop of ink dripped from the tip of the pen and spread slowly on the rice paper.
A ball of black ink immediately appeared on the originally white rice paper. Although the area was not large, it was very dazzling.
Gong Yonggu looked at the black ink, anger gradually flashed in his eyes, and the hand holding the pen trembled slightly.
"Snapped!"
Another drop of ink dripped, and a ball of black ink appeared on the rice paper again, and slowly merged with the previous ball of black ink.
When Gong Yonggu saw this, the anger in his eyes became even more intense. He pressed the brush tightly onto the black ink, then slowly and heavily rotated it.
After a while, a big word "kill" appeared on the rice paper.
Although there is no skill in the word "kill", the swords are drawn out everywhere, as if they want to kill everything.
Gong Yonggu stared for so long that his upper and lower eyelids trembled slightly.
But he still stared at the word "kill" like a sculpture.
Suddenly, he started writing again, and he wrote dozens of pieces of rice paper in one breath, but he only wrote one word - "kill"!
Gong Yonggu looked at the densely packed words "kill" for a while, then slowly closed his eyes.
But his constantly shaking eyelids hinted that his heart was not at peace.
After a long time, Gong Yonggu exhaled a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, the anger in his eyes had dissipated, leaving only guilt and unwillingness.
He used the inkstone to adjust the tip of his pen and stabilized his slightly trembling arm. Then he took a piece of clean rice paper and slowly started writing.
"Da...Shun...Zuo Dudu..."
Gong Yonggu had just finished writing, and there was a surge of anger in his eyes. However, he did not stop, but continued to write, but his movements were very slow.
But when he thought of the wounded soldiers groaning in pain, and of the soldiers who had traveled thousands of miles to fight against him and longed to return home, the anger in his eyes gradually receded, and his writing speed became faster and faster. In the end, his pen was just flying.
When Gong Yonggu wrote the last word, his momentum reached its peak, and his whole person was like an unsheathed sword, which made people dare not look directly.
He carefully read this humiliating letter asking for surrender, and another trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Then he tremblingly sealed the book and asked his bodyguard to find Xu Wenpu.
After Xu Wenpu arrived, Gong Yonggu first asked about Ren Zhihua. After learning that there was no new progress, he took the opportunity to talk about the war.
Xu Wenpu saw that he was rambling here and there without any topic, and he was a little confused in his heart, but he still answered respectfully.
After almost half an hour, Gong Yonggu suddenly fell silent and stared at Xu Wenpu closely.
Seeing this, Xu Wenpu first checked himself secretly. After finding that there was no problem, he looked at Gong Yonggu with some doubts.
Seeing that Gong Yonggu still didn't speak, he had no choice but to stand and bow.
"Wen Pu, has Liu Zongmin sent someone to persuade him to surrender in the past few days?"
Just when Xu Wenpu couldn't hold on any longer, Gong Yonggu's deep voice sounded.
Hearing this, Xu Wenpu raised his head and said, "They have been there for the past two days, but the general was afraid that they would affect the morale of the army, so he did not let them get close!"
Gong Yonggu was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I...I want...to ask you to...do something, are you willing?"
Seeing Gong Yonggu's expression, Xu Wenpu remembered that Gong Yonggu had pretended to surrender before, and immediately said loudly: "Ping Xigong, you don't need to worry, the last general and other generals have already discussed it, and we will definitely be able to break out of the siege. ....."
Gong Yonggu listened to Xu Wenpu's story, and a warm current surged through his heart, and then he smiled and said: "Wenpu, I know your loyalty and believe in your ability, but I cannot agree to you."
"You must know that Your Majesty has worked hard to gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. I can never leave all these soldiers and generals here..."
Xu Wenpu heard this and knelt down to persuade: "Ping Xigong, since this is a fake surrender, you might as well let the last general go. The last general will ensure that he can contain the rebels and buy time for the army!"
Gong Yonggu stepped forward to help him up and said in a deep voice: "No, this matter can only be done if I go!"
"Because only if I surrender, Liu Zongmin and others will relax their vigilance, and only if I surrender, will Zuo Liangyu let you go back east!"
"What's more, this matter was originally caused by me because of my greed for fame, so I should end it..."
...
Although Xu Wenpu was unwilling, he finally had to take Gong Yonggu's letter of surrender and walk out of the tent.
After Xu Wenpu left, Gong Yonggu also sat slumped on the ground, as if everything before had exhausted all his strength.
moment...
Two moments...
Three moments...
...
Gong Yonggu just sat there blankly, looking at the top of the tent silently, motionless.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the tent.
When Gong Yonggu, who was originally dull, heard the sound, he immediately stood up and looked at the entrance with a majestic look.
"Ping Xigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards is outside asking for an audience!"
The personal guard who came in trembled slightly when he saw Gong Yonggu's gaze, and then reported respectfully.
"Commander of the Jinyi Guards?"
Gong Yonggu repeated it subconsciously before coming back to his senses.
He was going to greet him in person, but seeing that he was disheveled, he asked his bodyguard to invite Gao Wencai in, while he took the opportunity to tidy up his appearance.
After a while, Gao Wencai, covered in blood, walked into the tent.
Seeing this, Gong Yonggu was a little surprised and said: "Master Gao, are you...your majesty okay?"
Gao Wencai bowed and saluted, and then said: "Your Majesty has gone north, and the general has been ordered to help you break out!"
A look of shame flashed across Gong Yonggu's face, and he whispered: "I have failed to trust His Majesty so much, so how can I have the nerve to see Your Majesty!"
Gao Wencai heard this and consoled him: "Ping Xigong, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists, so why should you care about it?"
"And Ren Zhihua and Li Yan have already used their lives to instigate rebellion..."
"Ren Zhihua is dead?"
Gong Yonggu exclaimed before Gao Wencai finished speaking.
Gao Wencai nodded heavily, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Gong Yonggu and said: "This is Li Mou's letter of surrender. He is willing to work with you to encircle and suppress the rebels..."
It turned out that after Li Yan accidentally learned of Li Yan's plan last night, she immediately felt regretful and miserable.
She knew that a big mistake had been made, and only by persuading Li Mou to surrender could she win a glimmer of hope for Ai Lang.
So after she left a letter explaining the reason, she rushed to Li Mou's military camp at starry night.
Ren Zhihua, who came back from the camp, saw the letter and found that Li Yan had a death wish, and hurriedly chased him out.
However, although Ren Zhihua was anxious, he also knew that entering Li Mou's camp without permission would cause trouble.
Therefore, he hid his whereabouts and, with the help of spies, sneaked into Li Mou's military camp and met the imprisoned Li Yan.
Ren Zhihua learned from Li Yan's cry that Li Mou was unwilling to participate in this matter. He only tried to implement it because it was Li Yan's last plan.
So Ren Zhihua asked the spy to send a message to Li Guo and Hao Yaoqi, saying that Li Mou had surrendered under Li Yan's persuasion.
Then he calculated the right time and took Li Yan to sneak into Li Mou's camp to lobby, so that this scene could be seen by Li Guo and Hao Yaoqi who came after hearing the news.
When Li Guo saw this, he did not get angry. Instead, he praised Li Mou for his loyalty and bravery, and released Li Yan and Ren Zhihua.
Seeing that his plan failed, Ren Zhihua devised another plan and asked the spies to lead people to hunt them down.
He originally wanted to use his life to provoke Li Mou and Li Guo, but he never expected that Li Yan would see through it and die before him.
Although Ren Zhihua was grieved, he still held Li Yan's body and fled towards Li Mou's military camp, hoping to use this to instigate Li Mou.
Just as he expected, Li Mou, who came after hearing the news, was furious when he saw Li Yan's body, and immediately went to kill Li Guo and others to avenge Li Yan.
Unexpectedly, Hao Yaoqi arrived unexpectedly at this time and persuaded Li Mou.
Just when Ren Zhihua was anxious, a general under Li Guo suddenly led an army to attack and wanted to kill Li Mou and others.
Fortunately, Li Mou's soldiers arrived in time and saved the defeat.
Upon seeing this, Ren Zhihua knew that a great event had been accomplished, and he died generously.
After Li Mou repelled the rebels, he immediately led his army to attack Li Guo and others. However, due to the overwhelming force of the enemy, he failed and had to escape with more than 10,000 people under his command.
Some people died, but not completely...
