Chapter 189
Xuzhou Pei County, one of the eight counties in Xuzhou, has occupied this place as the base camp since You Xingye’s army entered the vicinity of Xuzhou City. The North Route Army has a total of [-] troops. Sixty thousand troops.

Unavoidable to be defeated one by one by King Huai, You Xingye ordered the troops to join forces and hold on to Pei County to wait for reinforcements. According to the news from the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit armies, they have captured Guangling County and are rushing here. Whether the army is still looking forward to a selective battle or fighting has nothing to do with the overall situation.

After a burst of hurried footsteps, the soldiers led a literati dressed as a middle-aged scholar into the county government office.

You Xingye sized up this person, frowning involuntarily. This person was about 40 years old, with a narrow heaven, a sharp chin, and a pair of mung bean-sized eyes that gave him a hint of wretchedness.

This person should be Yang Jinxing, the mastermind of King Huai. You Xingye immediately went up to him with a smile as he quickly had an important figure in King Huai's system in his mind.

"However, Mr. Yang, the king's strategist, assisted King Huai in occupying Huainan and pacifying Xuzhou. Xingye has long admired his name."

Yang Jinxing's goatee twitched slightly, and his face was very proud. He is an extremely proud person. King Huai has grown from a private salt dealer to a powerful ruler of a state. Qianlong mostly relies on his strategy. King Huai's reputation and strength, no matter Ming or Qin, can treat each other with courtesy.

After the two parties took their seats, Yang Jinxing lowered the letter written by King Huai, saying: "King Huai has heard of the great name of the Ming Emperor for a long time, and is willing to use the Great Ming to form an alliance in Xuzhou."

You Xingye took the letter secretly, Duke Huai still couldn't let go of his face, even if he surrendered, he still wanted to find a name in the alliance, and he was probably thinking of negotiating terms.

It's just that Duke Huai's request for His Majesty to appear in person is a bit embarrassing. The emperor's travel is no small matter, let alone in wartime, and if he really wants the Emperor to come in person, wouldn't it appear that he is incompetent as a general.

Putting down the letter, he said with a smile: "Since Duke Huai has a heart, I will naturally not refuse, but the place of the alliance cannot be in Xuzhou, and Duke Huai still needs to go to Jinling." At this point, he cupped his hands towards the south and said, "Your Majesty is wise! , will give Duke Huai a satisfactory answer."

Yang Jinxing's face darkened immediately, and he said in a somewhat soft voice: "My king started fighting against the tyrannical government of Daqing seven years ago. In terms of qualifications, he is also among the first batch of potential dragons in the world, and in terms of age, King Changming is in his twenties. King Ming should not refuse because of emotion and reason, you must know that King Qin has invited King Wu to join the alliance several times and my king has not agreed."

You Xingye was furious. This was a blatant threat. Could it be that Yang Jinxing really thought that they would not be able to take down Xuzhou unless they surrendered to him? Instead, Master Yang’s title should have been changed long ago.”

His sudden anger surprised Yang Jinxing, and he was a little flustered. He thought that the fame and strength of King Huai was there, and Daming would always have to worry about it. understand.

Now is no longer the time when all the heroes rose together, King Huai's strength was negligible in front of Da Ming and Da Qin, especially at present most counties and counties in Xuzhou were occupied by the Ming army.

"Report, there is an urgent military situation." A soldier entered the account to report, and seeing Yang Jinxing suddenly realized that it was inappropriate at this time, he immediately kept silent. '

You Xingye's thoughts changed sharply, and he said calmly: "It's okay to be straightforward, Mr. Yang is not an outsider."

These words are full of domineering, as if they don't care about Yang Jinxing, the enemy's envoy.

After the order of the soldiers, he said: "Just received the news from the Yinglong Army that General Li Yuanlong landed from Donghai County and is recruiting the Huai Army of Donghai County."

As soon as Yang Jinxing said this, his face changed sharply. At present, the Jinwuyutu armies of the Great Ming Dynasty have arrived in Xiao County, and it will take half a day to join the Ming army in Peixian County. Now the Ming army has cut off the way for King Huai to flee north. other options.

Seeing that Yang Jinxing's face was pale, it seemed that he was shocked by the news, and he should recognize the reality. You Xingye's tone softened a lot, and he persuaded him: "The people of the world have longed for unification for a long time. The Ming Dynasty has long rivers and natural dangers, and Xuzhou and Liangzhou are two wings. However, King Qin has not yet unified the north, so Lord Yang should be able to see who is strong and who is weak."

Just pointing to his nose and saying that those who know current affairs are heroes, Yang Jinxing's pale face slowly recovered, and he said in a low tone: "Prince Huai has long wanted to submit to Daming, but many generals in the Huai army are formerly Jianghuai Han. Bandit Mi Zhixing’s subordinates, they are afraid of being liquidated after surrendering to Ming Dynasty, so the alliance first and then submitting is to appease their hearts.”

Speaking of this level, You Xingye is no longer pressing hard, Yang Jinxing is telling the truth, Huai Wang Zhang Wushang inherits the power of Jianghuai gangster Mi Zhixing, and must be restricted. These years, Huai Wang has been unable to grow It is because of congenital inadequacy.

After pondering for a while, he said: "I understand what you said. I will report the situation to my emperor. My emperor's sage can make his own judgment. Mr. Yang might as well spend a few days in Pei County to recuperate first."

How could Yang Jinxing dare to stay here, so he left immediately and hurried back to Xuzhou to report along the way.

In Xuzhou Huai Palace, Zhang Wushang was drinking in the back hall, his previous ambitions had all disappeared, his face was full of exhaustion.

Daming Li Qing started up later than him, and in a remote place like Jiaozhou, he managed to unify the southern states and successfully become emperor. Looking at his current situation, his eyes are full of bitterness.

As he came into contact with various forces, he gradually understood the complexity of fighting for the dragon in human nature. Because of his background, he had no help from the Taoist sect, and he was ambiguous about the way of luck, wasting many opportunities for nothing.

Thinking of this, he drank the wine in the glass, and the maid next to him tremblingly filled up the wine glass. Duke Huai has been moody recently, and his favorite concubines are often scolded, let alone these court ladies.

Just when he was upset, a eunuch from outside rushed into the apse, Duke Huai was furious when he saw it, he ordered not to see anyone, but this little eunuch dared to come in and disturb him.

The little eunuch had served Duke Huai for many years, seeing that Duke Huai's expression suddenly turned pale, he hurriedly said: "Outside there is a fairy descending in front of the palace with auspicious clouds, saying that he is asking to see His Highness."

Duke Huai's face was full of surprise, he already knew about the existence of immortals, and his current luck is low, why would there still be immortals seeking to see him?

He hurriedly said: "Please ask the immortal to come to see me."

The little eunuch secretly wiped the sweat off his face, and hurried away again.

Soon, a Taoist man wearing a Taoist robe and carrying a fairy sword walked in slowly. His beard reached his belly, giving people a sense of elegance. When he came to King Huai, he bowed slightly and said, "The real person at the top of Yunlong Mountain cave has seen King Huai."

Zhang Wushang looked at the real person on the top of the cave curiously. Yunlong Mountain is a famous mountain near Xuzhou City, and he has never heard of any immortal living in seclusion.

"It turned out to be the fairy head of Yunlong Mountain. I lived alone in Xuzhou for many years, but I didn't know that there was such a person as the fairy head in Yunlong Mountain. It was the sin of loneliness that I didn't go to see him."

As he spoke, he walked towards the real person on the top of the cave, introduced him to the seat next to him, and poured tea for him personally, secretly startled in his heart, but he could feel the surging blood on the real person on the top of the cave, even if he was not a god, he was good at fighting people.

After finishing these tasks, Zhang Wushang returned to the throne, and asked softly: "I don't know what the fairy elder is talking about, if there is an order, I will make arrangements for the immortal elder."

The real person at the top of the cave smiled, and said lightly: "Pindao is not here for anything else, but to get out of trouble for King Huai."
