Above the river, the sound of killing was loud.
No matter which direction you look at it, it seems that the Qingzhou Army is about to die, with all routes blocked. In addition, the ability of water warfare is not as good as that of Jiangnan soldiers. At this time, more and more Qingzhou soldiers were killed in the river after their boats were destroyed.
Amid the fire, large beads of sweat continued to fall down Tang Wuyuan's face. He didn't need the counselor's reminder to understand that this was the end of the road.
"Break out, find a way to break out! Get out quickly!"
Unfortunately, apart from making the sound louder, it has no effect. First, there was the surprise attack by the Huofang, and then the collision of the fighting ships. The entire Qingzhou Army was already on the verge of collapse.
"Lord, the siege has been completed. I'm afraid... we won't be able to get out." The counselor's voice trembled. Around Tang Wuyuan, many Qingzhou generals also looked depressed.
Tang Wuyuan gritted his teeth and was about to say a few words when suddenly, another piece of bad news came.
"My lord, King Xu Shu has appeared! Right behind the navy army!"
"This guy, this guy is here!" Tang Wuyuan was immediately furious. He was still able to endure the collapse of his original morale. But when he heard Xu Mu's arrival, he became as crazy as an old dog whose tail had been stepped on.
The last time, also on the river, he was chased by Xu Buyi for seven days and eight nights. He felt that there was no chance of life and wanted to jump into the river and commit suicide several times.
"Lord, what should I do? If not... I will surrender."
"shut up!"
Tang Wuyuan trembled all over, turned his head and looked at the fighting nearby. The Qingzhou Army of more than 10,000 people was completely defeated. Being rampaged by Dongling's navy was terrible.
Even near the main ship, the ships sent by Miao Tong were constantly being rammed wildly.
Long-distance containment is even more useless. Every Qingzhou soldier could hardly muster the courage to hold a bow.
"Lord, keep Qingshan here!"
"I have been in Wuyuan of the Tang Dynasty. I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I have been taught by wise men. I am in charge of the army of a state, and I am a military general in the court..."
These words made the Qingzhou generals and counselors on the left and right think that their lord was going to die, but they never thought——
"So, I want to save my life and pursue a great cause!"
"Take a white robe... and place it on the mast of the ship. A real man lives in this world and can stretch and bend."
…
"So, he is asking for surrender." Seeing that he was about to meet up with Miao Tong, he didn't expect that Tang Wuyuan would shamelessly ask for surrender at this time.
"Tang Wuyuan must die. This round of morale boosting must also be done."
Cangzhou is about to be destroyed, and only the last strength is left. Obviously, Tang Wuyuan's Qingzhou Army was like a bowl of bone-strengthening soup, which increased their strength.
"Pilot Master, Tang Wuyuan...please reply, Captain."
"I'll remove the eggs, tell Miao Tong, and just kill them." Xu Mu smiled lightly.
"Tang Wuyuan said that he knows who the Grain King is."
Xu Mu was stunned, frowning and lost in thought. After a long time, he calmly spoke.
"Six heroes, let the boat master row the boat across."
"Don't worry, helmsman."
Raising his head, Xu Mu looked ahead. Under the instruction, Miao Tong's men and horses had already surrounded Tang Wuyuan's last dozen warships. In the river, there were also countless Qingzhou troops, shouting for help and looking extremely frightened.
"The guilty general Tang Wuyuan, please see the King of Shu, Xu Mu!" Holding his sword, Tang Wuyuan knelt on the bow of the ship, facing the direction of Xu Mu.
This gesture is the Central Plains' means of asking for surrender.
"The guilty general Tang Wuyuan, please see the King of Shu, Xu Mu!"
"The guilty general Tang Wuyuan, please see the King of Shu, Xu Mu!!"
…
"Brother Mu, this man really looks like an old dog begging for bones." Next to Xu Mu, Si Hu spoke in a dull tone. He wasn't even warmed up yet, and he felt unhappy when he saw that he stopped fighting.
"Really like a dog."
In this troubled time, countless wars broke out. Those who are loyal, righteous, and courageous would rather die than surrender. Then, there are those who beg for mercy in order to survive.
Tang Wuyuan is the most representative of the latter.
Miao Tong puffed his face, pressed the knife, and looked at Tang Wuyuan who was kneeling from a distance. Many Dongling soldiers also cursed endlessly.
Xu Mu put his hands behind his hands and looked calm. He knew without guessing that Tang Wuyuan's next sentence should be something like, "If I tell you who the Grain King is, you will let me go back to Qingzhou."
"King Shu, I know who the King of Grain is. If I tell him his name, how about you let me go back to Qingzhou?" Tang Wuyuan raised his head and knelt down in an extremely humble manner, not daring to be disrespectful in any way.
A person who can chase him for seven days and eight nights, needless to say, must really want to kill him.
"King Shu, how about you and I making a written statement? Let the world testify about the transaction between you and me today. I, Tang Wuyuan, have exchanged my life for a name that will shock the world. You will not suffer any loss in this transaction."
Rory. Xu Mu frowned.
"Six heroes, tell Tang Wuyuan that I will only give half a stick of incense. If he is unwilling to tell, I will give Miao Tong an order to kill him immediately."
Yin Hu nodded, walked to the edge of the building boat, and conveyed Xu Mu's words one by one.
All around, the murderous look on the Dongling Navy's face was in stark contrast to the frightened look on the Qingzhou Army's face.
"Raise your bow!" Miao Tong said with a cold face.
"call."
On the warships one after another, countless Aventurine bows were nocked, aiming at the last few Qingzhou warships.
This pressure alone is scary enough.
"Okay, okay! If you don't want to establish written evidence, that's okay. I, Tang Wuyuan, have always told my subordinates that Xu Mu, the King of Western Shu, is a man of his word."
"If I tell you, you have to let me go."
"I know who the Grain King is. He was in Kezhou before. I guessed it——"
There was deathly silence all around. Xu Mu, who was listening with his ears pricked up, suddenly found that the sound had stopped. When he raised his head, he saw Tang Wuyuan on the Qingzhou ship not far away, his face covered with blood, and he was holding his throat in pain.
"What?" Xu Mu was shocked.
Yin Hu walked back in a hurry, his face also filled with anxiety.
"Master...Tang Wuyuan's throat was cut."
…
On the main ship of Qingzhou, there was a middle-aged counselor holding a dagger, smiling like a maniac.
Tang Wuyuan covered his throat with both hands, opened his bleeding mouth, and kept breathing heavily, his face getting paler.
This sudden scene shocked many Qingzhou generals and counselors.
"Protect the lord!" I don't know who shouted first, and dozens of Qingzhou soldiers rushed towards the counselor holding the sword.
Relying on his kung fu, the sword-wielding counselor killed four or five people in a row. In the end, he was stabbed to pieces with a long knife and fell into the river, coughing blood.
"My lord, my lord!"
Tang Wuyuan covered his throat and let out extremely hoarse cries, intermittent, like a broken cowhide drum that hissed when the wind blew.
"The great cause...my great cause...the great cause has not yet been competed, I am Tang Wuyuan——"
In the winter of the 19th year of Xingwu, Lord Yuan Hou died beside Qing Jun. Many ambitious people in the world are taking action one after another.
In Qingzhou, an elegant official abandoned the book of sages in his hand, picked up the sword, and wanted to fight for the world. He only felt that his hidden identity and talents should lead to greater achievements.
Bang.
On the main ship of Qingzhou, Tang Wuyuan was lying on his back. He could only hold on for a while before he fell heavily into a pool of blood and could no longer move.
