"Blackmail, this is blackmail! Deceive people too much, deceive people too much! Emperor Liu Jun was so angry that he couldn't help but roar loudly, overturned the imperial case, pulled out his sword and slashed and stabbed indiscriminately, and the ministers below all held their breath one by one, and some timid officials trembled in fright.

When Liu Jun was tired of chopping, the imperial case was also cut to pieces, and he dropped his sword and sat on the ground panting loudly.

Shang Shu ordered Liu Yigong to stand up and say: "Your Majesty is angry, the dragon body is important!" In the opinion of the ministers, it doesn't matter if the territory of the Qiu Chi State is not wanted, it is a big place, there is not much output, and the imperial court still has to station a lot of troops, but I am afraid that the output is not comparable to the input, even if it is lost to the Qianguo, it is not a pity. Besides, Qianguo used this method to swallow Qiu Chi Guo, Yang Nandang can see even if he is stupid, that Qiu this person is not a good character, he will definitely be unhappy in his heart, and afterwards we will secretly send someone to provoke him, let him create some trouble for Qianguo, the minister thinks that this is more beneficial than getting the land of Qiu Chi! ”

Zang Zhen also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Shang Shuling said is very true, now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is not appropriate for our dynasty to confront Qianguo for the time being, Your Majesty will endure for a few years, and when my Great Song Dynasty national strength recovers, it will not be too late to settle accounts with Qianguo!" ”

Liu Jun said angrily: "I understand the truth, but I just can't swallow this evil breath!" This Wang De actually bullied me to the Xuande Palace, when did my Great Song Dynasty suffer such a humiliation? ”

As the so-called lord humiliates the ministers to death, the ministers saw the emperor like this, and knelt on the ground one by one in fear and pleaded: "Let Your Majesty be humiliated, and the ministers will be sentenced to death!" ”

Pei Songzhi said: "Your Majesty, in ancient times, King Goujian of Yue endured humiliation, tasted courage, and worked hard, so that he later broke the Wu State and returned with a great victory!" My Great Song Dynasty needs time to recuperate, restore national strength, and need to strengthen the army and select generals! ”

Liu Jun sighed and raised his hand: "Pass the decree, order Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming to hand over the land of Qiuchi to the cadre army to garrison, and lead the army back to Liangzhou, if there is nothing else, they will all disperse!" ”

The eunuch shouted: "Retreat!" ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The ministers bowed down again and shouted.

Wang De, who had just returned to the post house, was about to have lunch, when a guard outside the door walked in and bowed down with his fists in his fists: "Yu Changshi, someone outside the door sent this, saying that he would hand it over to you personally!" ”

Wang De took a small scroll of paper from the guard's hand, opened it, showed a smile on his face, and greeted his entourage Akui: "Today, Master Ben is happy, go and ask the kitchen to get two hard dishes, and take a pot of good wine, Master Ben wants to drink two cups!" ”

Seeing that the old man was happy, Akui also got up with a smile and agreed: "Okay! ”

Wang De successfully completed the mission this time, did not stay in Jiankang for more, and set off to return to Yicheng the next day.

······

The original Qiuchi national capital, Wudu.

Pei Fangming hurriedly came to Liu Zhendao's line, and when Liu Zhendao saw him, he asked, "Why did General Pei come, is there something?" ”

Pei Fangming clenched his fists and said: "I just received the news that the Qianjun army has increased its troops in the areas of Tianshui and Chencang, and the increased strength is about 10,000 people!" ”

Liu Zhendao frowned, and unconsciously stood up, he walked down from behind the desk with his hands behind his back and said: "It's normal for the cadres to react in the border area, but it's a little abnormal for them to increase so many soldiers and horses at once!" General Pei, it seems that we still have to prepare for war, so as not to be suddenly attacked by the cadre army, what do you think? ”

Pei Fangming clenched his fists and said: "What the envoy said is very true, the last general has ordered the defenders of Baima (Yangping Pass), Chiting, and Turbid Water City to strengthen their vigilance!" ”

A few days later, Liu Zhendao was discussing with Pei Fangming, and the subordinate government came to report: "Report to the envoy, the imperial court has an edict, and the envoy who announced the edict has arrived outside the city!" ”

Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming glanced at each other, and Liu Daozhen immediately ordered: "Come on, set up the incense case, and prepare to welcome the angel!" ”

Soon, a team of cavalry of the Yulin Army escorted several eunuchs and rode horses to the outside of the line, and Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming immediately greeted them: "Liang and Qin Erzhou assassinated Liu Zhendao, and Pei Fangming, the general of Longxiang, greeted the angels!" ”

The leading eunuch dismounted, took two steps forward with a sweep of dust, and said: "Our family is in Chongyang, His Majesty the Emperor has an edict issued, and I also ask Liu Yuanjun and General Pei to order to summon all the generals in the army to come and listen to the decree!" ”

Liu Zhendao arched his hand: "Please also invite the angel to enter the house to rest for a while, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body, and wait for the generals to come and make another announcement!" ”

Yu Chongyang nodded, and took a few little eunuchs and a few Yulin soldiers into the mansion, and the other Yulin soldiers who accompanied the guards dismounted and stood guard on both sides in front of the mansion.

After serving the tea, Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming kept knocking on the side, wanting to ask Yu Chongyang about the content of the edict, Yu Chongyang kept talking about him left and right, Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming were helpless.

Soon, the lieutenant generals and colonels arrived one after another, and Pei Fangming said to Chongyang: "Father-in-law Yu, everyone has arrived, you can see ······"

When Yu Chongyang heard this, he put down the teacup and got up: "Then let's start, come here, please ask the emperor for an edict!" ”

Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming immediately got up and stood neatly with the other generals.

"Liang, Qin Erzhou Assassin Liu Zhendao, Long Xiang General Pei Fangming and the generals in the army listen to the order!"

Then all the people bowed down together.

"The ······ system"

After reading the edict, Liu Zhendao, Pei Fangming and others felt half cold, and many generals remembered that the soldiers had suffered many casualties in the previous battles with the Di people, and many people would never go back, but the imperial court wanted to give up the territory they had fought with their lives to the Qianguo, and they couldn't help but feel sad and angry.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "What's this called?" finally laid down the revenge pool, so give it to people? Lao Tzu is not convinced! The brothers were killed and wounded, but did they die in vain? ”

"That is, why should you give it to Qianguo? If the Qianjun wants this territory, he has to ask Lao Tzu if the knife in his hand agrees! ”

"The court is full of mediocre and incompetent people!"

The generals scolded a lot, some beat their chests, and some hung their heads.

Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming were even more angry, their faces turned blue and they were extremely angry.

Yu Chongyang saw this posture and was worried that such a fierce soldier would do something irrational, so he immediately said inwardly: "Liu Yuanjun, General Pei, dare not obey the order?" ”

Liu Daozhen didn't say anything, and Pei Fangming said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law Yu, there must be a reason for the soldiers to withdraw the army, right?" So many brothers have died, and now His Majesty has an edict to let the soldiers hand over the territory in their hands, how can this be convincing? ”

Yu Chongyang's face was gloomy: "The edict has made it very clear, let you follow the order, and you don't have to ask anything else!" This is not something you should worry about, you are all generals in command, and you dare to question Your Majesty's edict? Want to rebel? ”

Liu Daozhen and Pei Fangming glanced at each other, they didn't dare to rebel, so they had to reluctantly agree: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

Yu Chongyang accepted the edict, raised his hand and said: "All the generals, get up, implement the edict as soon as possible, and complete the handover with the cadre army!" ”

Liu Daozhen arched his hand: "Yes!" ”

Pei Fangming said: "The last general still has to appease the soldiers and prepare for the handover, so he won't send the angel and leave!" ”

This attitude made Yu Chongyang angry, he was just a eunuch who announced the decree, but Pei Fangming sprinkled his anger on him, he had traveled nearly 3,000 miles all the way, he and the accompanying eunuchs and the soldiers of the Yulin Army were already sleepy, and Pei Fangming didn't even arrange food and lodging for them, how could it be unreasonable, would he be a man?

"Wait!" Yu Chongyang stopped Pei Fangming, "General Pei walks slowly, our family was ordered to stay and urge the two to obey the order, and asked General Pei to arrange food and lodging for our family and the others!" ”

Pei Fangming clenched his fists with a straight face and said: "This matter is not under the care of the last general, the last general is only in charge of commanding the troops to fight, and he will leave!" ”

"You ······" Yu Chongyang watched Pei Fangming swagger away with the generals, and trembled with anger, "It's really arrogant and domineering, do you think it's great to win two battles?" There are more generals in the DPRK than you can fight, you ······"

Liu Zhendao hurriedly persuaded: "Father-in-law Yu, forget it, General Pei is this stinky temper, he didn't deliberately target his father-in-law, this withdrawal is really annoying, please forgive your father-in-law, don't be like General Pei!" The accommodation of the father-in-law and his entourage is arranged by the lower officials! ”

Yu Chongyang was a little angry, "Okay, since Liu Yuanjun intercedes for him, our family won't bother with him!" ”

Under Liu Zhendao's arrangement, Yu Chongyang and his entourage soon lived in Wudu City, as the eunuch of the emperor's decree, Yu Chongyang lived in a big house, and Liu Zhendao also arranged some maids to come to serve.

On this day, Yu Chongyang came to Liu Zhendao, intending to ask him how the matter of the handover of the garrison was going, and after being invited in, he just walked near the lobby when he heard Pei Fangming's angry voice coming from inside: "The court is a group of stupid and incompetent people, if it weren't for this, how could my Great Song Dynasty fall to the point of being bullied by the Qianguo to the point that he didn't dare to fight back?" ”

Yu Chongyang immediately stopped and leaned against the wall, and heard Liu Zhendao hurriedly say: "General Pei said carefully, this kind of thing must not be said again!" ”

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? If they dare to compromise and admit cowardice with Qianguo in such a shameless manner, are outsiders still not allowed to make irresponsible remarks? ”

Yu Chongyang was worried that the eavesdropping would be discovered and he would be killed, so he immediately shouted: "Liu Zhendao, Pei Fangming, where are you, it's been a few days, why hasn't our family seen any signs of the withdrawal of the army?" ”

Liu Zhendao hurriedly went out to explain and appease, and finally persuaded Yu Chongyang to leave.

"General Pei, we are just afraid that we will not be able to drag it on, this matter of withdrawal and handover must be carried out immediately, once Yu Chongyang writes that we deliberately delay and slander His Majesty, we will not be able to eat and go around! Send someone to contact the cadres and discuss the matter of handing over the garrison! ”

"Hey, I'm really unwilling!" Pei Fangming sighed helplessly, remembered something and asked, "By the way, ······ that batch of property?"

Liu Zhendao said: "The two of us are forty percent, and the remaining two are given to the soldiers, what do you think?" ”

"The last general only needs to achieve two achievements, and the rest will be distributed to the soldiers!"

Liu Zhendao's face darkened when he heard this, and he scolded in his heart, what kind of intentions are you pretending, you only take 20%, how can I be embarrassed to take 40%? If the generals and soldiers below knew about it, what would they think of the old man? Aren't you cutting off people's money?

"Since you don't want these two percent, let's give these two deals to the old man to go to the court to do some work, and we also have to accumulate some contacts in the court, what do you think?"

"It's not going to work!" Pei Fangming hurriedly refused, "The last general would rather give it to the soldiers than to those moths!" ”

"You······ You, you, no wonder you only got mixed up with a Long Xiang general until now, what do you call me to say about you! ”
