"Quan Cong, I would like to ask you, how did you come up with the idea of surrendering to me?" Li Xian was still under the moonlight and could not clearly see his uncertain face, but his words were extremely penetrating. , asked Quan Cong honestly.
Quan Cong was naked and knelt on the ground, and then he said in fear: "The Commander... The Commander-in-Chief is so powerful that I will admire you... I will admire you."
Li Xian heard this and shouted sharply: "Tell the truth!"
The three words were so frightening that Quan Cong lowered his head again, almost prostrate on the ground, and then replied tremblingly: "Commander...Commander, please forgive me, our army already ran out of food before entering Wuling Mountain. .....After entering the mountains, I originally thought...I thought there would be something to eat in the mountains...but I didn't know there was nothing. Then Pan Zhang, in order to protect his own soldiers and tiger cavalry, it turns out....."
Seeing Quan Cong hesitate to speak, he started to choke.
"What the hell!" Li Xianrao was patient, but now he was extremely impatient.
"They actually ate all my... Mei Ji that I brought, and hundreds of... hundreds of old and weak soldiers who resisted... were also eaten by them It's over..." Quan Cong burst into tears for a while.
At this moment, it was Li Xian's turn to be silent. Humanity without food is so terrible, even for the soldiers on the front line, let alone the common people. After a while, the new moon began to slowly set, and the starlight gradually began to dim. Li Xian then slowly gave the order: "Push Quan Cong back to Chengdu, and listen to the emperor's instructions."
"yes!"
"As for the crime of killing the surrendered soldiers without asking for orders, I will ask the governor to write a letter to your majesty to apologize. In addition, we don't know where Lu Xun is now. Without my general order, we will never send troops without permission!"
"Yes! I will obey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief!"
Where is Lu Xun? It is indeed a problem. Li Xian has not thought about it until now. After he was activated again, he should immediately rush to the front line to break the chaos. Why did he not show up for a long time? Ever since Lingtong broke through, Li Xian had actually had a hunch that this would happen. Lu Xun should have arrived, but he still couldn't find any clues.
In fact, Lu Xun really arrived. However, he was neither in Jiangling nor Jiangxia, but in Changsha. He even knew that Pan Zhang, in order to survive, started eating each other, and later, everyone cannibalized each other. , which lasted for a month, hiked across the north of Wuling Mountains, the south of Wushan Mountains, across the entire Shennongjia, and finally arrived at Linju City, not far from Maicheng.
Changsha County Sheriff's Office.
Lu Xun still stared at the map without saying a word, but Sun Shao kept pacing around the house, looking anxious. Finally he couldn't help but ask: "Oh, my governor, Boyan, you Come on, tell me how to rescue Quan Cong, we can't watch the three counties of Yiling fall into the hands of the Shu army."
Lu Xun just shook his head and said coldly: "It's useless. Quan Cong will either die in Wuling Mountain or go back and surrender. He can't be saved."
"What about General Sun Huan?" Sun Shaozhen asked anxiously and angrily.
"It's useless." Lu Xun still shook his head and sighed: "Countless Kongming lanterns flew from the direction of Yiling last night. This governor knew that Sun Huan was already in danger. Yiling is so quiet now, but I’m afraid that the governor’s guess is right.”
Sun Shao became even more furious at this time and said bluntly: "Captain! You were so high-spirited in the Fire Company that day, why are you so depressed today? Could it be that this Li Xian is still a god who descended to earth and can trigger thunder from the sky? I, Sun Shao, don't believe it! The Commander is in the city. Watching from inside, I immediately led an army to Yiling to take the head of Na Chen!"
After saying this, Sun Shao immediately lifted up his shirt and went to the school field to order troops with angry eyes.
"Come back to me, Governor!" Lu Xun said sternly.
"Why? Do you have to watch me, Jiang Dongerlang, all be given away by that bastard Quan Cong?" Sun Shao became more and more angry, and felt a depression in his chest, and cursed: "Then Quan Cong is nothing!"
"I don't know who Quan Cong is any more than you do! That Li Xian is no match for you. I have been planning how to avenge these 30,000 Wu troops!" Lu Xun said sternly again.
"How to repay? Are you hiding here in Changsha City!" Sun Shao also asked sternly, not losing the slightest.
"Yes! This is how I planned to stay in Changsha!" Lu Xun said not to be outdone.
"Then go back to your place! I, Sun Shao, will never be treated like this wimp! Generals, listen to my orders! Those who are willing to fight with me, please follow me and go straight to Yiling now!" Sun Shao said loudly.
Outside the governor's house, countless soldiers and generals all responded: "I am willing to go to war with the general! I am willing to go to war with the general!"
"Let's go!" Sun Shao greeted, and in an instant, thousands of Qingqi followed Sun Shao and rushed out of the city...
.......
Chengdu city.
Liu Chan's hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and even his voice began to mutate. He almost couldn't grasp the battle report, so he subconsciously clapped the battle report together, and immediately lowered his voice and asked Huang Hao beside him: "Huang Hao, This Li Xian... trapped and killed... 30,000 people."
Huang Hao's eyes widened immediately when he heard this. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while. After a while, he responded: "Your Majesty! This is the minister of Ying Yang! How can you kill tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers without asking for orders! Your Majesty , this person must be restrained, if word spreads, I am afraid that His Majesty’s reputation as a benevolent monarch will be completely destroyed at the hands of this person!”
Liu Chan asked: "In your opinion, how to control it? Apart from the prime minister, who can suppress him now? His apology form has been thrown in my face."
"Retribution! Your Majesty, Li Xian's father, Li Jun knelt down outside the palace to plead guilty and ask for your Majesty's permission."
Now it was Liu Chan and Huang Hao's turn to look at each other. Liu Chan asked, "Am I seeing you or not?"
"Your Majesty, this Li Jun must be here for the purpose of killing and surrendering. Your Majesty might as well listen to what he says and then respond."
Liu Chan nodded and said: "I have this intention, and you better understand me. In this case, you can go with me and listen to what Mr. Li has to say."
The two of them slowly walked out of the inner court and reached the side hall, allowing Li Jun to step forward.
"Li Jun, a common man, wishes your majesty long live, long live, long live!"
"Beginning of health, why did the old man come here today? What crime did I have to blame you?"
"Your Majesty, my son has been favored by the emperor and has been favored by the emperor. He holds the position of governor of Yong'an. Now he has acted beyond his authority and killed and surrendered soldiers. I am here to plead guilty on my son's behalf." Li Jun knelt down on the ground and said.
Liu Chan smiled and said: "I thought it was such a big deal. It turns out it is this. But I only heard about it today. I didn't expect Aiqing to be here at this time."
"Your Majesty, I just heard this and was horrified, so I immediately asked for forgiveness. I hope Your Majesty will be kind enough to forgive the dog." Li Jun continued.
"Why should I love you? How can I blame a meritorious minister? Now that the Han Dynasty is rising, Zhang He will be killed in the north and Quan Cong will be defeated in the south. Even if there is any disobedience to the order, I will only treat it as a matter of urgency and expose it. That's all." Liu Chan said helplessly.
"I thank your majesty on behalf of the dog. I also hope that your majesty will remember me to protect my son and forgive me for disturbing me." Li Jun continued to kneel down and speak.
"It's okay, but dear, I would like to know, what does Han Xing usually do at home? Or does he have any special hobbies?" Liu Chan seemed to be relaxed and chatting away.
Li Jun started to sweat on his forehead at this moment, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, my son likes to study some weird things. He rarely goes out. When there is a military order, his only hobby is eating."
Liu Chan immediately laughed and said, "I like eating too. Huang Hao, do you like eating?"
Huang Hao immediately smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I like it too."
Liu Chan laughed and said, "Look, everyone likes to eat it."
Li Jun then raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, my son's food is not ordinary food. He not only studies how to eat, he also studies how to make food. This has always been a headache for me. Confucius said that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen. But he did not follow the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and often told his ministers that his dream was to wipe out the bandits in the world for His Majesty, study all the cuisines in the world at home, and cook them for his family."
Liu Chan understood clearly and really knew that there was something in his words. He immediately pointed his finger at Li Jun with a smile and said: "My dear, if this Han Xing can really smooth the world for me, why should he do it himself? I will give him the best from all over the world." Invite all the cooks to cook for him."
"Your Majesty has already said that I still know how much the dog weighs, but..." Li Jun suddenly wiped his tears with his hands.
"My dear, why are you crying?" Liu Chan asked in confusion for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I just remembered the past and suddenly lost my temper. Please forgive me."
"What's the crime? Tell me what happened in the past." Liu Chan asked curiously.
"Yes, your majesty, this son was not born in Chengdu, but was born outside Jiangling City when hundreds of thousands of people helped the old and young to cross the river with the late emperor. He was still in his infancy at that time. The minister and his second brother were also separated, leaving only an infant brother. The minister and his wife took their two children to Jiangling and Jiangxia, and later followed the army to Chengdu. The journey was bumpy, and the minister often told the two children, Their lives were given by the late emperor. When they grow up, they must protect their families and the country, but later..."
"What happened next?" Liu Chan asked subconsciously.
"Later, both General Guan and General Zhang were killed by the rats of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and they lost Jingzhou. Quanzi's cousin was unable to join the army because of his weakness, and Quanzi followed the army to Yiling. At that time, the minister and his wife were outside Chengdu. When I was working as a farmer, I heard that the Yiling Fire burned for seven days and seven nights, and no one survived. During those days, the ordinary things in the village never stopped. Only bad news came one after another. The minister and his wife spent every day in torment. , My wife doesn’t think about food and tea because of this, and looks forward to the return of the dog every day..."
"Then you've finally got it." Liu Chan also had a slightly sad look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I want to say that I am undoubtedly lucky, but what should they do about those families who cannot look forward to the return of their children? They are also parents, and many families even have only one child. They also have hatred, and they are even worse than Your Majesty hates Soochow even more, but they cannot go up and kill their enemies in person. Your Majesty, Quanzi is doing this just to win over the hearts of Chengdu, so he is not allowed to make such a plan and act beyond his authority. Please forgive me!"
