Emperor Son Sang gl

Eighteen cities of Jiangzhou.

Since this morning, a team of imperial envoys sent by the Daning court has arrived in the area of ​​the eighteen cities in Jiangzhou.Along the way, after changing the flattering attitude of other prefectures and cities, the imperial envoys seem to be ignored when they come to this place. They live in the most common post stations, and eat and drink out of their own pockets.

This imperial envoy was named Bo Sheng, who used to be a retainer of the Bai family, and his original surname was Zhou; this time, seeing that the Yan army was about to launch an attack on the eighteen cities of Jiangzhou, Bai Daocheng specially appointed him as the imperial envoy, and went to Jiangzhou to order the war .

"Little brother, I don't know if your Zhoubei is free today? Our imperial envoy came all the way from the capital to discuss something important." One of Baisheng's subordinates came out to ask the Jiangzhou soldiers at the station.

The Jiangzhou soldier looked at him roughly, and said lightly: "Zhoubei is very busy every day, and we are not sure if he is free. If the imperial envoy wants to find Zhoubei, then he should visit him personally. We young soldiers and generals can't do it." Pass."

"you…"

The subordinate couldn't help but choked, and looked back at Bai Sheng who was also pale.

Well, you Li Chang, relying on yourself to be in charge of the eighteen cities of Jiangzhou, and now you are in the limelight again, you can't be called the overlord!Bo Sheng cursed secretly in his heart, but he was helpless.Now that the situation is urgent, I'm afraid I have to go to the state preparation mansion to find someone in person.It's just that Li Chang is a popular general next to the emperor, and he can't offend him.

This imperial envoy is really miserable.

After lunch that day, Bo Sheng brought his team down to the gate of the State Chang Garrison Mansion.The soldiers in front of the door did not question their identities for a long time, but finally confirmed their identities without giving in at all, and asked them all to remove their weapons, saying that this was Jiangzhou's rule.

After Bai Sheng entered the door, he kept yelling, he only said that he tried it when he entered the palace to unload his soldiers!How can a small state be so arrogant and arrogant when it is always on the defensive!

And Li Chang, who he called arrogant and arrogant, was sitting in the study and writing quietly at this moment.

"Zhou Bei, the imperial envoy is here."

Although the housekeeper who came to sue said so, he couldn't hear the urgency at all.

The person who was standing in front of the desk and wielding a pen was none other than Zhou Bei Li Chang.Li Chang was a rather burly man with a dark complexion, and he had the bloody aura of fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years.The swipe at this moment is a bit out of place.

"Come as soon as you come," Li Chang dipped in the ink carelessly, only looking at the copybook: "Ask someone to serve them tea and some snacks. I have to finish writing these words before going out to meet guests. "

The butler responded, and couldn't help asking: "It's just Zhoubei, I'm afraid that the imperial envoy—"

"What are you afraid of? If he is even slightly dissatisfied and wants to sue me to the emperor, we have to see if he has the ability." Li Chang raised his eyes, staring straight ahead with his eagle eyes: "My eighteen cities in Jiangzhou are stretching So wide, I don't believe he can escape under my nose."

The butler nodded and stopped dissuading.

"Come and see, how do I write these words?"

Li Chang returned to a smiling face and looked at the copybook on the table with satisfaction. "Now that the war with the Yan army is imminent, I purposely waved these words to embolden the soldiers. By the way, let's take out this copybook together. I want the imperial envoy to take a look at Li Chang's determination."

"Yes, state equipment."

On the other side of the hall, Bo Sheng waited anxiously.I have already drank tea several times, and ate a lot of snacks. Why do you think that Zhou Bei is so embarrassed?Feeling depressed, I wondered if I should sue him in front of the emperor?It's just that the war is raging now, military generals are more important than civil generals, it's better not to act rashly...

"Master Bai! I kept you waiting!"

Bo Sheng was in distress, when he heard a hearty laugh.When he raised his head, he saw the majestic Li Chang. "What did Zhou Bei say? I just sat down, not long ago."

This is the case in officialdom, even if you scolded each other badly one moment, you still have to flatter each other when you meet each other the next second.

"The emperor sent an adult to supervise the battle this time, so Li Chang really didn't have time to prepare." Li Chang smiled amiably, as if he didn't know about the imperial envoy. "I was still practicing calligraphy in the study just now, now that my lord is here, let me show Li Chang what I can't live with."

Li Chang made a gesture and asked someone to hand over the copybook.

Bo Sheng said yes with a smile on his face, but he murmured in his heart: you, a general on the battlefield, don't go to fight the enemy well, but instead write big characters in the government office?

The butler came up with the copybook, and called a servant to open the copybook together.Sure enough, it was written by a bloodthirsty person. Although it is only black and white ink, without the slightest hint of blood, it will make people see the majestic feeling.On the copybook, there are four vigorous and powerful characters: The flag is a victory.Every swipe and every swipe seems to have the blood of roaring and fighting.

"The flag has won..." Bai Sheng's throat seemed to be choked by something, and seeing the strong smile on Li Chang's face, he was a little more relieved about the matter of supervising the battle.From this point of view, if Jiangzhou goes to war with the Yan army, Li Chang will definitely do his best.In this way, my imperial envoy will not have to worry about his life...

Anyway, he came to supervise the battle and lost Jiangzhou, what would Emperor Bai Daocheng think?

"That's right, we won the battle!" Li Chang laughed loudly, feeling happy: "I specially gave this to this battle to tell my soldiers that this battle must be invincible and win the battle!"

"It's very good, very good!" Bai Sheng's previous dissatisfaction was also reduced a lot, and he had a little more favorable opinion of Li Chang who cooperated with his work. "By the way, Zhoubei, how long can Jiangzhou last in this battle?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

"When I left Beijing, the emperor had appointed the second prince as the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses, and led 20 troops from the frontier to rush back to the side of the Qing Emperor. This time, the Emperor also intended to make meritorious service to the Second Prince, presumably to let him be the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses Do something. At Jieshi, the second prince will come to Jiangzhou to fight with Zhou Bei, so I asked Zhou Bei about the situation?"

Li Chang nodded understandingly and thought for a moment.

"The Second Prince has been appointed as the Marshal of the Army and Horses and marched from the frontier..." Li Chang pursed his lips, a little surprised and somewhat expected: "The Second Prince has always been capable, and Li Chang is not good at it, so he will definitely show it." Leave more opportunities to the second prince." After speaking, he lowered his voice and said lightly: "Furthermore, Li Chang has made a lot of achievements in recent years. The so-called tree attracts attention. If the emperor is not satisfied and cuts me off, that's not good. It's..."

Bai Sheng smiled, and met Li Chang's eyes: "It's good that Zhou Bei understands."

----------------------------

The sixth day of June, summer day.

"Grandma is a bear, it's raining today!" Eighty miles outside Jiangzhou City, the Yan Army has already set up camp there and is ready to fight at any time.Gongsun Zheng walked back and forth outside the camp, drenched in the rare rain these days, and felt extremely happy.

"These days the scorching sun is in charge, and the prince has also worked hard."

Gongsun Zhengben took off half of his heavy armor and was only wearing a thin shirt underneath. When he suddenly saw a person coming out from behind, his expression became a little embarrassed. "Uh...Your Highness..."

"The weather is hot recently, I don't blame you." Zi Sangyu smiled lightly, together with Lian Xin, Gu Tang, and Zhao Gan who were behind him. "This rain is estimated to last for a long time. After the rain, it will be almost dawn. I plan to lead the army to attack Jiangzhou City after the rain."

"Daybreak?" Gongsun Zheng was stunned, "Although attacking the city at dawn will catch the enemy by surprise...But Your Highness, you have worked hard for the war in recent days, and even brothers said that your health is much worse. Now it's so sudden again , I don’t know if you can catch your breath.”

Zi Sangyu smiled slightly, supporting himself who was already exhausted.

"If you're tired, the brothers under your command are even more tired. It's been a hot summer these days, and they must be exhausted. Pass on the order, let the soldiers rest well tonight, and reorganize the troops and horses on the fourth watch, and send troops to Jiangzhou!"

"The subordinate understands." Gu Tang got the order, and immediately turned around to announce.

Gongsun Zheng looked at Gu Tang like this, and he probably understood something in his heart.Since Zi Sangyu's name was corrected, generals such as Gu Tang and Zhao Gan have been used by him, and the cronies who were by his side at the beginning are also slowly attaching to and assisting this future lord.This is also good, after all, it is worthy of the crown prince under Huang Quan.

"It's nightfall now, although it's still early, but there's not much time left before the fourth watch." Lian Xin stayed by Zisang Yu's side, a little worried: "Your Highness has been sleepless for days, so you have to rest well tonight, otherwise you will go to the battlefield tomorrow. Where did the spirit come from when I was young?"

There are some compliments in the words, and there is also Lian Xin's love as a brother for many years.

"It's just Yixiong... Li Chang is not easy to deal with..." Yu sighed lightly, looking at the people around him: "This is a very wanton gamble, I am very grateful to you all for having the courage to bet with me on this one. I Yanjun 30 people, against the 20 people in Jiangzhou, although we have a little advantage in numbers, but because we are attacking the city, we are evenly matched. Tomorrow's attack on the city, you still need to make suggestions and make a hole as soon as possible, otherwise If not, the protracted war is not in our favor.”

"My subordinates understand this." Zhao Gan, who has always been famous for defending the city, stepped forward: "The battle of defending the city depends on the soldiers at the city gate standing firm and not being disturbed by external things. I heard that This Li Chang manages well, and the eighteen cities of Jiangzhou can be said to be independent as a small country. In this way, his soldiers should also have a lot of backbone."

After hearing this, Zi Sangyu remained silent for a long time.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry." Zhao Gan suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and he seemed to want others to destroy his prestige. "Our Yanjun soldiers are also tough men. We will definitely go all out in such things as war. As long as our morale is high, we will definitely win."

"It's going to be like this, my heart is at ease."

Zi Sangyu smiled faintly, and looked up at the faint starlight.

This battle will be a hard one, right?Father...I can't lose...I can't...

This Hugo really fell all night, and it stopped in the middle of the night.As the fourth watch was approaching, Zi Sangyu got up from the bed, put on a cape and only a middle coat, and came down to look at the topographical distribution map of Jiangzhou again.

Lian Xin, who lived in the tent next door, did not sleep well that night.He got up and planned to walk around, but found that Zi Sangyu's tent had already been lit with a single lamp, which was especially bright at night.

You are so troublesome, how can God fail you.Lian Xin sighed and walked forward.

"Your Highness?"

"come in."

Lian Xin raised the curtain, and what he saw was Zi Sang Yu in a single quilt. "Your Highness, it's a bit cold at night, be careful not to get sick from being blown by the wind." After saying that, he got up to get the clothes that were put aside, "Although the war is important, if something happens to your body, everyone will be worried .”

"Don't worry, brother Yi." Zi Sangyu took it with a smile, and roughly put on the battle armor.Looking up at the sky outside, he said lightly, "Is it four o'clock?"

"Correct."

----------------

Drums of war shook the sky and thunder, flags were raised and dirges were sung.

The [-]-mile stretch of open plains outside Jiangzhou City has become the battlefield of today's Jiangzhou Battle.

Zi Sang Yu was wearing a battle armor and a red blood belt, sitting on the horse, his eyes staring silently.And behind her, there were 30 soldiers and horses following all the way from the south of the Yangtze River, all of them gearing up, waiting for the curtain to kick off in this unknown battle.

The watchtower at the head of Jiangzhou city saw the formation of the Yan army from a distance, and hurriedly sounded drums and orders, and assembled soldiers and horses to deal with it.

Not long after, Bei Lichang of Jiangzhou Prefecture appeared on the top of the city.

"Boys, are you ready?" Li Chang smiled slightly, looking at the Yanzi military flag not far away, feeling excited and distressed. "How much have you guys grown in the past ten years, can you do better this time?"

"Invincible, open the banner to win! Invincible, open the banner to win!"

"Invincible, open the banner to win! Invincible, open the banner to win!"

"Invincible, open the banner to win! Invincible, open the banner to win!"

The morale of the Jiangzhou soldiers was like a rainbow piercing the sun, especially in this early morning, which shocked Zi Sang Yu's heart.

The Yanjun soldiers were anxiously awaiting the command from the chief general, Sang Yu.Unexpectedly, on the other side of the city gate of Jiangzhou, Li Chang waved his hand to signal the soldiers to open the gate.

"Your Highness, this..."

Zi Sangyu raised his hand.

"Regardless of whether the enemy is deceitful or not, all the soldiers are ready to fight, and they must not be taken lightly."

"My subordinate understands."

Li Chang took the token from his personal guards, rode a black horse, and left Jiangzhou City alone.

Zi Sangyu was startled and didn't say a word.

"Woo--" Li Chang tightened the reins and stopped the steed. At this time, he was not far from the Yanjun army.Looking back at the subordinates above Jiangzhou City, he raised his hand.

The guards at the top of the city over there were proud, but they drew their knives and chopped off the military flag at the top of the city!

Before Yanjun had time to react, Chang Li had already got off his horse, and walked step by step towards Zi Sang Yulai, who was at the front of the army, holding the things in his hands.

"Jiangzhou Zhoubei, Li Chang," Li Chang held things and walked closer and closer to that person, but he only had eyes for this person, and he didn't take all the sharp blades around him in his eyes at all. "Prince Dayan, under the command of the Tianzhi dark guards, was ordered to lurk under the Bai family to fight for real power. The 20-year mission period has expired. Li Changte presents the seal of the eighteen cities of Jiangzhou and the city of Jiangzhou, and bows down to His Royal Highness Dayan Emperor and Sun today!— —”

The soldiers at the top of the wall over there also seemed to kneel down, shouting in unison:

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Dayan Emperor and Sun—"

At this moment, the world seemed to freeze.

It was five watch, and a new round of sunshine broke through the clouds and gradually climbed up the mountain.Zi Sang Yu turned towards the sun, looked at the seven-foot man kneeling in front of him, and felt indescribable emotions in his heart.

"you…"

Gongsun Zheng Gu Tang and others beside him were even more surprised, not to mention the Yanjun soldiers standing behind them.This scene came too suddenly, even more unreal than the victory in the surprise attack on Luoguan City!

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, Li Changxiang's head can be taken right now!"

That Li Chang knelt on the ground, his eyes were burning, and his blood boiled in everyone's heart.

Zi Sang Yu let out a long breath, but tears welled up in his eyes.Looking at that day, he cursed fiercely in his heart:

Father...why...why did you help me so far...
