The best princess

Chapter 121 The Unlucky Baili Linjiang

This time the matter was simple, the reactionary leader was arrested, and Mo Weitian deserved his credit. It was not in vain that he went out at night and stayed up for several nights to secretly dig a trench.

As the saying goes, the tree fell and the scorpion scattered. The puppet Chu Dynasty originally had the final say on Baili Linjiang. Now that he has been arrested, the people under him must either surrender in time or stand on their own.The generals stationed in the city facing the Chu army together, with their own strength, standing on their own is tantamount to seeking death. Why should the Chu people embarrass the Chu people, just pack up and surrender.

So the gates of the city were opened wide to welcome the queen into the city.

The cities in the east of the Junjiang River returned to the embrace of the motherland one after another. Fu Youran was overjoyed and decided to travel day and night to cross the Junjiang River and recover the lost land in the northwest.

The west of Junjiang is the base of the Baili Group, and the resistance encountered is also stronger, but it doesn't matter, the army is behind, and the persuasion will not be a feint attack. What kind of ladders and flying stone carts can be put on it? You are half-dead, half coaxed and half scared like this, there are more cities with orthodox Chu banners planted, but the closer you are to the core area of ​​the Baili Group, the more difficult things will be.

"Report--" With a loud shout, a scout rushed into the hall with a command flag in his hand.

The place where Fu Youran was at this time was called Jinyuan, which was the fifth city recovered after crossing the Junjiang River.This is not enough.

"How is it?" Fu Youran, dressed in military uniform, asked anxiously, "Has Chen Dingbang surrendered?"

Chen Dingbang is a rather important little leader in the Baili Group, he is highly regarded by Baili Linjiang, and now he is guarding Fengming City and is in a confrontation with Jinyuan City.Fengming City is the first checkpoint on the way to the west. If Fengming is not broken, it will be difficult for Fu Youran's army to continue westward.

"Qizou Your Majesty." The scout knelt down in the hall, "Mr. Li failed to summon to surrender, and was sent out of Fengming City by Chen Dingbang, and is on his way back."

Mr. Li was talking about Li Peishan. Most of the first few cities were mentioned by him. He probably said that he had fallen into an addiction.

Fu Youran pondered for a moment, then glanced at Qi Yibei, who was sitting there with his hands folded around his chest, his long eyebrows furrowed, and he was also considering his next move.

At this moment, General Chi who was beside Qi Yibei stood up abruptly, and said to Qi Yibei, "Your Highness, the last general invites you to fight and capture Chen Dingbang!" Although he was in Dachu, he He still insisted on calling Qi Yibei His Royal Highness.

Qi Yibei waved his hand, "General Chi, this is my first time on the battlefield, I hope the general can enlighten me on many things I don't understand."

General Chi hurriedly cupped his hands and gave advice to Qi Yibei, but he didn't dare, Qi Yibei said, "If you want to forcefully capture Fengming City, how long will it take?"

General Chi only hesitated for a moment, and replied in a stern voice: "Your Highness, please hand over [-] elite soldiers to the last general, and they will certainly be conquered within ten days."

Qi Yibei thought for a while, then raised his head and said to the old man on the opposite seat: "What do you think of General Sun?"

That old man—that is, the young old man who was pulled out from among the old men, the leader of the army.

Old man Sun twitched his beard, "General Chi is brave and good at fighting, and he will definitely capture Fengming City within ten days, but..." After a long time, he sighed and shook his head.

Qi Yibei didn't make a sound. He fully understood the reason why they didn't want to fight. How many people lived in the east of Junjiang, but their parents, wives and children stayed in the west of Junjiang. Once the two sides go to war, many people may never see each other again .

Therefore, Fu Youran's purpose is not to fight if he can't fight, and mainly to persuade him to surrender.But this Chen Dingbang is really nerve-wracking.

The hall fell into silence, whether to fight or drag, became a problem that everyone struggled with.

Fu Youran's eyes suddenly lit up, "By the way, where is Baili Linjiang?"

The crowd didn't understand what they meant, and one general replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Baili Linjiang will be detained with the army, and nothing will go wrong."

Fu Youran clapped her hands, "That's good, we can ask Baili Linjiang to persuade him to surrender."

Qi Yibei was taken aback, "Then he still hasn't run away?"

Fu Youran smiled, "Of course someone has to 'protect' him personally." Then she said her thoughts.

General Sun hesitated for a long while, "This..." seems a bit unsightly, but thinking of Qi Yibei's trick of capturing Baili Lin Jiang alive, it is nothing. , who cares what is upright.

So Baili Linjiang had another chance to shine, and he was brought into the hall with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't know what Fu Youran wanted to do to him, could it be... wanting to slap him?
Baili Linjiang was going to be afraid of death, but he still had a little bit of backbone, he didn't ask for mercy, but his legs were trembling when he stood there.

"We decided to let you go."

"Ah?" Baili Linjiang didn't react.

Fu Youran stood in front of Baili Linjiang, "After all, you are my brother-in-law. Although you are a rebellious party now, you are ruthless and we cannot be ungrateful, so we let you go."

Called the guards on both sides to loosen Baili Linjiang, Baili Linjiang stood there dumbfounded, "You, you...I, I..."

Fu Youran smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. In fact, you saved yourself. As long as you can persuade Li Dingbang to open the city gate, and you can run into the city before the Chu army arrives, you will be safe."

Baili Linjiang was silent.Isn't this playing him?Can his two human legs outrun the cavalry's four horse legs?
Qi Yibei snorted, "Since Brother Baili is unwilling, then we have to accept our other decision."

"What decision?" Baili Linjiang not only trembled in his legs, but also trembled in his voice.

Fu Youran also looked at Qi Yibei curiously, Qi Yibei signaled the guards on both sides to step forward, pointed to the rope in their hands, "Tie it up again, and send Brother Baili to the execution ground tomorrow, where he will be sentenced to death by a thousand swords. "

The two guards said yes, and Baili Linjiang was about to be tied up again. Baili Linjiang was so frightened that his legs gave way, and he almost fell to the ground. He said repeatedly, "I'll go persuade Chen Dingbang."

Fu Youran laughed, Qi Yibei also laughed, and everyone present laughed.Fu Youran stretched out her hand to Qi Yibei, let him hold it, and said, "Tomorrow we have to keep an eye on it."

Baili Linjiang almost vomited to death, he was just playing with him if he was let go, the couple didn't have good intentions.

Early the next morning, Qi Yibei led the team, Gu Ge and General Chi cooperated, Fu Youran supervised the battle, and [-] soldiers and horses marched to Fengming City in a mighty manner.At the beginning, the defenders in Fengming City thought that the Chu army was invading, and they were under martial law for a long time, but there was no movement. Standing on the city wall, Chen Dingbang looked up and saw a fiery red figure stumbling towards the city gate.

"Archer!" Chen Dingbang yelled softly, preparing for the archer.The archer on the side stepped forward, stretched his arms and opened his bow, aiming at the approaching figure with the tip of the arrow, just waiting for Chen Dingbang to give an order, and the person's life would be killed.

Closer...closer again...

Chen Dingbang saw the face of the person who came, and he was startled in his heart. He quickly turned back and suppressed the archer's arrow, and looked down the city in surprise. The person who came was actually their Supreme Emperor, Baili Linjiang.

Chen Dingbang naturally knew the news that Baili Linjiang had been captured, but he was a bit foolish and loyal. He was single-handedly promoted by Baili Linjiang, so he was willing to die for Baili Linjiang.When Li Peishan went to the city to persuade him to surrender, it happened that Chen Dingbang was reading the internal documents issued by Baili Group - "Create Tomorrow, Create Brilliance" collection of essays.

The declaration said that we established a new regime not to overthrow Da Chu, on the contrary, it is for the better development of Da Chu. Li Ze said that he found the empress dowager, but no one knows if it is true or not. The family is gone, we cannot be used by others, we must stick to our beliefs, and in order to create new glories for Dachu, we must sacrifice ourselves bravely for the future of Dachu regardless of personal gains and losses.

Chen Dingbang was deeply moved, so he refused to surrender. He believed that even if the Supreme Emperor was captured, he must still have this idea in his heart, and vowed to fight against the evil forces to the end!
But... why did they release the Supreme Emperor now?Seeing Baili Linjiang running and shouting: "Chen Aiqing..." The voice was extremely bleak, Chen Dingbang felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife, and seeing the approaching Fu Chu army, he fell into a battle between heaven and man.

The lieutenant next to him asked, "General, do you want to open the city gate?"

Chen Dingbang slapped back, "Bastard, the Chu army rushed in after opening the city gate."

"But the Supreme Emperor..."

Chen Dingbang gritted his teeth, "No." After speaking, he endured the struggle in his heart and went back to the pre-war command post to experience the spirit of saving the country.

Poor Baili Linjiang yelled for a long time, but the city gate was still closed and he didn't move a muscle.

Seeing that it was past noon, Baili Linjiang's throat was also smoking, it was early summer, the sun was very poisonous, Baili Linjiang had no strength, turned around and walked back, and asked for a bowl of water to drink from the head office, right?There is such a clause in the Three Kingdoms Pact that prisoners of war must not be abused.

But he forgot that the three countries are not at war, not an international war, but civil strife, so the Three Kingdoms Convention cannot be applied.

After walking a few steps, there was a "whoosh", and a sharp arrow shot not far in front of him. This was the Chu army's warning to him.

The patience of Qi Yibei and the others is about to run out, doesn't it mean that Chen Dingbang is loyal to Baili Linjiang?Just such a "loyalty" law?Seeing that the Taishang Emperor yelled and broke his throat, he ignored it.

Qi Yibei looked at the sky, "Wait another half an hour, if the city gate is not opened, we will go back and discuss another method."

So Fu Youran, who was squatting in the chariot and pretending to be a plant, was pushed back first. Fu Youran was really sad. The idea he finally came up with was useless.

At this moment, there was movement in Fengming City, and a basket hung down from the city wall.

Qi Yibei was shocked, "No, they want to hang Baili Linjiang up!"

General Chi reacted quickly, leading the cavalry to rush over.

Baili Lin Jiang was overjoyed.

He hurriedly ran under the city wall, but...is this basket a little small?
No matter how many, he stepped in and found that there were a few pancakes and a flagon in the basket. He couldn't help being stunned for a moment. When he looked up again, the cavalry of the Chu army was close in front of him. Throwing everything out of the basket, shaking the hanging rope desperately, the defenders on the tower seemed stunned, but it happened suddenly, so let’s pull it up, it doesn’t matter, the basket is already small, maybe not Strong, Baili Linjiang's body was just one foot off the ground, and when he was happy, Baili Linjiang's weight couldn't be restrained at the bottom of the bamboo basket. With a "plop", Baili Linjiang leaked and fell to the ground.

The idea is really memorized, but Baili Linjiang is not discouraged, there is no basket, and there is a rope, and he is struggling to grab the thumb-thick rope, intending to climb up the city wall.

General Chi had rushed to the city with his cavalry at this time, and he carried Baili Linjiang to the horse with almost no effort. The baskets procured by the government cannot be used for the first time, because they are too watery and not strong."

The soldiers hanging down from the rope looked dazed. It was not until General Chi returned to the Chu army that he thought of reporting to Chen Dingbang.

Chen Dingbang was intensively reading Baili Linjiang's speech, when he saw the little soldier come in, he sighed, "How is it? Is the food delivered too much for the emperor to eat?"

First Soldier: "..."
