(Second update.) ）

Li Congjing looked at Gao Jixing, his eyes playful. Gao Jixing behaved like this, I don't know whether to praise his understanding or scold him for being greedy. Now that he is a prisoner, he is guilty, and his life and death are not yet known, so he has to worry about his former position of power to the extent that he will be provoked by Song Qiqiu's words, so he really comes to negotiate conditions with Li Congjing?

Gao Jixing opened his mouth to return to the two states, and did not first use one state as a test, but it can be seen that he has a bit of sincerity. Li Congjing had the intention to joke with him, so he said seriously: "It is not difficult to withdraw the army from Jiangling, but the king of Nanping secretly communicated with Yang Wu and privately sent troops to be loyal and 10,000, which is the crime of rebellion, but he has to go back to Luoyang with Gu." ”

Gao Jixing opened his mouth, stopped talking, showed a painful look on his face, as if he had experienced a struggle, and then said: "Xiao Wang seeks to take Xia, Gui, Kui and other states, it really shouldn't be, Xiao Wang is willing to go to the court, and in the future, he will no longer have any thoughts about states and counties other than Jingzhou, and I hope that King Qin will see clearly!" ”

This was because Li Congjing thought that the conditions he gave were not enough, so he took the initiative to give in.

Let Jing Nan return to the pattern before Guo Chongtao's war against Shu, this is the bottom line preset in Gao Jixing's heart.

Facing Gao Jixing, who looked serious and serious, Li Congjing laughed and said: "King Nanping, according to Gu's intentions, you should cut off your title, remove your rank and official position, conceit your hands, walk Luoyang, and ask for guilt in white clothes, so that you may be able to save your life." If there is any other thought, it is all delusional. ”

"King Qin, don't bully people too much!" Being so humiliated, Gao Jixing couldn't sit still, and his eyes, which had not rested so far, turned red at this time, like a mad beast, staring at Li Congjing, "Wang Jue Gao can not do it, and the rank and official position can be reduced, but Jingzhou Gao will not let an inch of land, King Qin should not be too persecuted, otherwise you and I will not benefit!" ”

Gao Jixing's anger made Li Congjing laugh dumbly, he squatted down in front of Gao Jixing, shook his head, and said helplessly and sympathetically: "Gao Jixing, Gao Jixing, you really don't know what to say, haven't you woken up yet, what you did in Jingnan, any one of them is enough to destroy the Nine Clans?" Alone, is it to negotiate terms with you? Lone can tell you very bluntly that since the moment you dared to disobey the edict, whether it was Jingzhou or your head, it no longer belonged to you, and now, Lone is just taking it away for the imperial court! ”

With that, he waved his hand lightly, "Take it down." He also instructed the armor who came to pick up Gao Jixing: "From this moment on, this person is no longer the king of Nanping, and he no longer has an official status, just a prisoner, and there is no need to speak for him anymore." ”

Jia Shi promised, Gao Ji was stunned, his face was still full of disbelief when he was taken away, he still couldn't accept it, he had changed from a dignified vassal king above 10,000 people to a white body, no, he was a prisoner who was not even as good as ordinary people. And this, for the person who gave the order, is just a matter of words.

"His Royal Highness's thunderous means, the servant admires." Sang Weihan exclaimed.

Waving his hand, Li Congjing said lightly: "Traitor, there is no room for bargaining. ”

Sang Weihan's expression was grim and he nodded solemnly.

After Mo Li and the others retreated, Li Congjing spread out the map of Jingnan and began to ponder the battle situation.

If there is a hundred battle army in hand, how can the situation be so difficult to deal with, whether it is the Jingnan army or the Wu State water division, they can be destroyed in the backhand, and the four prefectures of Kui, Gui, Xia, and Jing, the hundred battle army will attack the past one city after another, and it will not take much time.

However, today's Li Congjing is no longer simply the commander of the Hundred Battles Army, he is also the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, to a certain extent, the entire Tang Dynasty is in his hands, and he can't leave the Hundred Battles Army, he won't fight, and he can't win the battlefield, right?

Gangneung City, Nanping Palace.

Gao Congzhi and Liang Zhen stood opposite each other, the former looked worried, and the latter had bandages wrapped around his arms and hung on the back of his neck, looking quite embarrassed - but it was the trauma left by the gentleman when he surrounded the post house yesterday.

Gao Congzhi said to Liang Zhen: "Now that my father is in the hands of the enemy, although there is no bad news, but he is also in danger, Congzhi has sent several waves of envoys to ask to see the king of Qin, but they are all blocked outside the camp, and even the camp gate is not allowed to enter. How to save my father, please teach me! ”

Gao Congxue, although he has the name of the son, is not a descendant, but because he is the eldest son. His mother Zhang is a concubine, and her identity is not prominent, and Gao Congzhi is a little lucky to be able to become a son.

Speaking of Gao Congzhi's luck, there are quite allusions. When Gao Jixing was young, he was also a veteran general on the battlefield, and he had many battles, and whenever he went out to fight, he liked to take Zhang's army with him.

Once, Gao Cong's army was defeated, and he fled with Zhang, stayed until the night, and strayed into a deep stream. At that time, Zhang's was already pregnant with Gao Congzhi, with a big belly, and it was inevitable that he would be unable to move. On the way to escape, because Zhang's feet were slowing down, Gao Jixing wanted to kill Zhang's so that he could hurry up. But I can't bear it, I think about it and think about it, and I have a plan for life.

The place where Zhang's sleep is an earthen eaves, and Gao Jixing dug up the eaves, wanting the soil to crush Zhang's to death. Gao Jixing dug the eaves, raised his feet and left, and when there were exclamations and soil collapse behind him, Gao Jixing didn't look back. What he never expected was that he didn't run far, and Zhang caught up intact.

Gao Jixing was certainly surprised by Zhang's safety, but what surprised him even more was Zhang's next words, Zhang's said: "The concubine is suitable for dreaming of a landslide and crushing the concubine's body, and there is a god wearing gold armor to support her with her hand, so she is spared." Gao Jixing was surprised, fell into deep thought, he looked at Zhang's stomach, and felt that Zhang's would give birth to a noble son, so he didn't abandon Zhang's again.

Gao Congzhi taught this person, "for the sake of generosity, although the scholar is not as good as the doctor", even if he is barely worthy of Gao Jixing's original estimate, it is not in vain The difficulty of Zhang's hard work at that time was not wasted, and he inevitably inherited Zhang's wit, so now the position of the prince is very stable.

At this time, Liang Zhen was enduring the pain of flesh and skin, but the current situation in Jiangling made him have no time to take care of his own injury, and after listening to Gao Congzhi's eager inquiry, he said solemnly: "What Lang Jun should ask at this time is not the situation of His Highness, but the situation of Jingnan!" ”

Gao Congyu was stunned and puzzled: "Why did Sikong say this? How can a son of man be a man who cares about the safety of his parents and covets power? ”

Liang Zhen sighed and said, "The old man is not teaching Langjun to ignore the way of humanity, but Jingnan is really safe, and His Highness can be safe!" ”

"Please elaborate."

"Lang Jun, please think about it, His Royal Highness has repeatedly disobeyed the orders of the imperial court, privately occupied Kui, Gui, Xia and other prefectures, appointed the Gao clan as officials, refused to enter the imperial court appointed assassin Shi, and now he has colluded with Yang Wu, but the King of Qin captured His Royal Highness but did not kill him, what is the reason?"

Gao Congzhi was quite annoyed, "At the beginning, my father intercepted the wealth in Shu and harmed the officials of the court, and there were many exhortations from the teachings, but my father didn't listen to it, and seized Kui, Gui, Xia and other states, no matter how he persuaded him, his father still insisted on going his own way" Seeing Liang Zhen's ugly face, he knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said - Liang Zhen picked up behind those things, and hurriedly changed his words, "King Qin is merciful, and the root cause is because his father is still useful to King Qin." ”

"Yes, yes." Liang Zhen coughed and continued: "If Jiangling is captured by King Qin, His Highness will be useless, and then it will be really dangerous. At present, Lang Jun wants to save His Royal Highness, only by accumulating the power of Jingnan and putting King Qin in a predicament, so that Lang Jun can only succeed on the condition of relieving King Qin's predicament and asking King Qin to release His Highness. ”

"Clever plan!" Gao Congzhi stroked his palms and sighed, "However, how to put King Qin in a predicament?" ”

"The shortcomings of the King of Qin, there are few soldiers and few generals, if Lang Jun can mobilize heavy troops and surround the King of Qin outside the city, then the King of Qin will be helpless!"

"Commonplace!" Gao Congzhi was first excited, and then his face showed embarrassment, "Sikong, the soldiers besieged the King of Qin, but it is a great crime of rebellion, even the Jiangling Army and the gentleman have fought before, after all, they have never taken the initiative to challenge the King of Qin." In addition, the sword and gun have no eyes, but if the King of Qin is injured, I am afraid that Jing Nan will offend the court too much, and there will be no room for maneuver between the two at that time."

"Lang Jun!" Liang Zhen hated that iron could not become steel, "Then Li Congjing, last night he killed several high-ranking officials of the palace one after another, and even rebelled against Cao Qingyu, who joined the army, isn't he a mortal enemy?" At this time, could it be that Lang Jun still wants to fight with the imperial court? ”

Gao Congzhi was silent, for a long time, Fang sighed and said: "I am not talented, I am unwilling to leave no room for action, when the army is assembled, I must give clear orders, and I must not touch a single hair of King Qin!" ”

"It's not wrong for Lang Jun to have this thought." Liang Zhen was reluctant to argue with Gao Congzhi on this kind of detail, "In addition, in case the King of Qin is unfavorable to His Royal Highness, Lang Jun has to do this."

Stone head, afternoon.

The city changed hands last night. The Fuzhou army came suddenly, Shishou County was negligent in defense, and was successfully attacked by the Fuzhou army, Ma Huaiyuan took the lead, and captured the city without much effort, and the Jingnan army in the city was cleared by Ma Xiaodao and Zhou Xiaoquan before dawn.

In the afternoon, in addition to leaving some men and horses to garrison the county seat, Ma Huaiyuan led the main force of the Fuzhou Army to the riverside and built fortifications in order to cut off the Yangtze River traffic and make it impossible for downstream ships to go upstream.

Since Shishou is a fortress of the Yangtze River, it is naturally impossible to build it in a place where the river is wide and the water flow is gentle, and the favorable terrain here also provides great convenience for the Fuzhou army in preparing for defense.

Busy until dusk, Ma Huaiyuan ordered the work to be called a day, and most of the soldiers were stationed in the water village to deal with the battle that might break out at any time. At midnight, as soon as Ma Huaiyuan fell asleep, a scout came to report that a large number of ships were found downstream, but because of the darkness of the night, he couldn't see how many soldiers and horses the other party had, and only saw the lights like dragons.

The ship basically does not sail at night, Ma Huaiyuan estimated the distance, and concluded that the fleet will arrive tomorrow, so he did not say more, let alone alarm the rested army, sleep well tonight, recuperate the spirit, and fight tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Ma Huaiyuan beat drums and gathered the generals, informed everyone of the situation, and arranged combat missions. On the eve of noon, when the Yang Wu fleet appeared in the field of vision, Rao is Ma Huaiyuan was prepared, and he couldn't help but be shocked by the scale of the other party, he knew that this time the stone head held the battle, and it was inevitable that it would be a vicious battle.
