"Actually, maybe we can try to recruit Li Qiong. Although he has done so many tricks, it happens to be like this. It seems that he has other ideas in mind."
"You don't have to worry about why he doesn't surrender. Anyway, the things he is doing are indeed not helping the Jin people. If they don't help each other, they have already made their attitude clear."
"If not, let the little old man give it a try? After all, that person is a student from Hebei, and he was also the leader of the little old man's defense back then. Maybe he will really take advantage of this..."
Pharmacist Guo was like a sparrow, constantly chirping in Liu Bang's ears for a long time, but Liu Bang didn't even look at him.
I have made up my mind not to use this old boy, so don't listen to this nonsense. He has no merit. If he really makes some achievements, Gouri's nostrils will be soaring to the sky.
He ordered Zhong Lei:
"Dig first. Zhao Mi and Yang Yizhong are not fools. Tens of thousands of people can't dig a damn hole? They dig inside, and you ask people to dig outside... People from the Imperial City Division, and the Empress For those who have not been mobilized by the army, you can mobilize more people."
After Zhong Lei responded, he said to Huang Yanjie:
"Tell Zhang Jun and Han Chang to keep an eye on their own gates, and no one is allowed to leave the city. If, if there is any other situation, don't make a decision first, talk to me first."
The old eunuch also quickly asked someone to pass the message. Liu Bang stood on the hilltop that was convenient just now and took in all the surrounding scenery.
If it doesn't work... I have to fight hard. Damn it, if something happens to the more than 30,000 people in the two yamen, then someone will be responsible for the more than 40,000 defenders in the city.
In his heart, Li Qiong was already a dead person at this time.
While he was watching, his eyes fell on Huang Yanjie... He didn't know who he met. He stopped and chatted with someone there, but the person was wearing armor and couldn't see clearly.
After a while, the old eunuch and the man bowed to each other, then turned back and led the man towards him. When he got closer, Liu Bang felt that he looked familiar, but he forgot his name.
Fortunately, Huang Yanjie was good at observing words and expressions. As long as he was around, his emperor would not be embarrassed. They all saluted to the emperor, and the old eunuch hurriedly said:
"The official family is in charge of the former army of Yue Fei of the Han Army. General Wang Gui is here."
In fact, he didn't need to say it, Wang Gui himself had to give his name, but since he said it, Liu Bang quickly remembered it.
The main reason is that this kid is always making jokes. Today he wore a black armor and a phoenix-winged helmet. He looked human-like and extremely serious, so Liu Bang didn't recognize him.
"Why did you come to me if you didn't stay with Yue Fei in Xuzhou?"
There is a distance of four hundred miles from Xuzhou to Bozhou. It will take Wang Gui at least four or five days to get here.
At this time, among the many armies, only Zhang Jun's branch has his own command. Whether it is for food or for food, Lin'an is here first. Although Bozhou City is difficult to chew, there is no need for Yue Fei to worry.
So before Wang Gui could reply, Liu Bang asked:
"Why, your marshal is dissatisfied with me for being too slow in advancing, and he's looking for you to plug my eyes!"
Last year, he spent a lot of time with the emperor in Lin'an. Wang Gui knew the temper of Zhao Guan's family, and he was always proud of his superiors but not his inferiors. Therefore, he did not really take the emperor's words seriously, but replied:
"Your Majesty, why did you talk about Marshal Yue the first time you opened your mouth? Even if you fight slowly, Marshal Yue is waiting in Xuzhou. If you don't say anything, how can he dare to take a step forward?"
I really dislike me for holding me back. To be honest, Yang Yizhong and Zhao Mi have been fighting for Bozhou for half a year. I can't even get there for less than a month, and it's already almost won. If you say you're not aggrieved, then you must be. Fake.
But Yue Fei was indeed walking faster. He was still at the gate of the Central Plains. He had spent a lot of time in the Central Plains. Liu Bang snorted coldly:
"If you have any trouble, hurry up. If there is nothing urgent, let's wait until the city is broken."
As someone who had followed Yue Fei in the war from the very beginning, Wang Gui was able to lead an army on his own, so he was certainly not worthy of his name. Judging from the siege equipment of these siege armies, everyone had no intention of entering the city from the front.
He bowed and said: "Officially, it was Marshal Yue who was worried about Li Qiong's cunning, so he sent his ministers to help."
"How many people did you bring?"
Wang Gui chuckled: "We are moving in a hurry, but there are only a hundred people."
"Then go back, I don't have much food here."
"Official!" Wang Gui, a big man with a beard, actually made a coquettish voice at this time, which made Huang Yanjie on the side have goosebumps all over his body, not to mention Liu Bang, who was directly disgusted. .
"The official family, Li Qiong, Marshal Yue, and the ministers are all from Xiangzhou. His hometown Linzhang is only a few dozen miles away from our hometown Tangyin, so he can be regarded as a fellow villager."
"When Marshal Yue was working under Grandpa Zong, he had contact with Li Qiong and probably knew his temper. Later, we all worked in the army together. Although they were in different positions, we still lost contact. Now he Standing firm in Bozhou and becoming an enemy of the King of the Song Dynasty are not asking for death!"
"So I am here to persuade Li Qiong to surrender, and ask your majesty to give him Bozhou as soon as possible. I only ask that your majesty balance his merits and demerits and leave him a way to live..."
Liu Bang's eyebrows lowered a little: "Is this Yue Pengju's idea?"
Wang Gui said seriously: "It is indeed the Marshal who invited me."
"Then he invited Bozhou Wuxiao or Li Qiongwuxiao?"
“Wouldn’t it be nice to have the best of both worlds?”
"The best of both worlds..." Liu Bang repeated these four words, not knowing what they meant.
"Let's do this," he seemed to have made up his mind, "Li Qiong just asked me to make a choice, and now you will make a choice on behalf of Yue Fei."
When Wang Gui heard the official address him as "I", he no longer dared to be distracted and quickly replied:
"Please tell me from the officials."
…
When Jin Sai entered the city from the city gate and rushed back to the tunnel from Laojun Temple, the command room had become even more lively.
Li Qiong, Wang Shizhong, Xin Zan and Liu Zhan were still on this side of the Han Road, and on the opposite side separated by the fence, in addition to the big and small yaksha, there were two more people... It was Zhao, the commander of the Infantry Army of the Song Dynasty. Secretly, Yang Yizhong and the former commander of the palace were both in command.
They were at that end, and there were constant knocking sounds coming from behind them, presumably looking for a way out.
As for Li Qiong, the previous mania has disappeared, and he has returned to his calm appearance.
This fence cannot stop tens of thousands of people, not even dozens of people.
But he said that as long as a few generals of the Song Dynasty dared to touch the fence, he would directly open the gate and release the water.
No one dared to bet. Except for Li Qiong, a lunatic, and the Zhao Guan family, no one dared to accept a bet involving tens of thousands of people.
The arrival of Jin Sai broke the somewhat rigid situation.
