A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1328

[Chapter 1318 Landing]

Shen Tuluo sneered: “You want the prince to threaten me?”

“You think that’s what I meant.” Qi Ning stared at Shentuluo: “The life and death of 20,000 Qi soldiers, plus the life of the prince of Dongqi, do not know how big it is. Does the governor care now?”

Shen Tuluo clenched his fists, and Qi Ning sighed, “The governor is not a common man, and he should understand better than anyone else. With the current situation, there is no hope for the state of Qi to recover. If Duan Shao really dies, Your last hope of recovering the country is absolutely gone. If you surrender to my great Chu and help solve the Han kingdom, then you have made great achievements. The emperor will reward and punish clearly, and the face of the queen is still there, and you will be sealed in the future. The title of King Duan Shaoqi is not impossible.”

“You know that this general and His Highness have the idea of restoring the country, but you dare to let us go to Chu?” Shen Tuluo’s eyes were sharp: “Could it be that you are not worried, let’s pretend first Return to submission, wait for the opportunity, and then resume the country?”

“At least the Han kingdom should be resolved first.” Qi Ning smiled: “Does the governor think we can continue the discussion?”

Shen Tuluo frowned, thoughtful. .

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that once he really surrendered to the state of Chu and wanted to return to the state, it would be just wishful thinking. The people of the state of Chu are not fools. Now, if you want to surrender yourself, it is nothing more than your own useful value. Wait until after this war. , even if the people of Chu country do not settle accounts in the autumn, they will definitely put themselves under house arrest, and will not give themselves any space for activities, let alone seek to restore the country.

But what Qi Ning said was not wrong.

If the state of Qi wants to restore the country, it can only play the banner of Duan Shao. Once the Duan royal family is cut off, there will be no meaning of restoring the country.

Since Feichan Miren has surrendered to Chu, Duan Shao is likely to fall into the hands of Chu people. Duan Shao’s life and death are in the hands of Chu people. Although Qi Ning is threatening, it is actually the most important thing. valid threat.

Shen Tuluo certainly didn’t want to see Duan Shao killed, not for Duan Shao, but Duan Shao’s identity.

He didn’t forget that Mo Ying’s plan was still being implemented. Once Mo Ying’s plan was successful, the current situation would likely be turned upside down, but the premise of all this was that Duan Shao must be alive. ,

all Moying’s plans will be in vain.

Duan Shao can’t die!

“What are you going to tell me to do?” Shen Tuluo asked suddenly after pondering for a long time.

Qi Ning negotiated with Shentuluo tonight, and he was mentally prepared in advance. He knew that it would not be easy to persuade Shentuluo, and he had made up his mind that once Shentuluo refused to submit, he would have to kill Shentuluo. In this way, he did not conceal Huang Yandu’s plan.

As far as Qi Ning is concerned, being able to make Shentuluo return to Chu is much more effective than killing him with one knife.

After all, there are 20,000 Qi troops in Puyang, which are the elite main force of the Qi state. Although they are now huddled in Puyang City, Qi Ning knows very well that as long as that army exists for one day, it will pose a threat to the Qinhuai Army for one day. The Puyang garrison in the northeast corner of Tao Yao was like a secret arrow aimed at the Qinhuai Army. No one knew when the secret arrow would be fired.

The Qinhuai Army is now guarding the front line of Dingtao and has not launched an offensive against the Han army. In the final analysis, it is because the food and grass were not delivered in time. When the food and grass are insufficient, Yue Huanshan can only stand still.

Now that the Huai River is open, food and grass will soon cross the river, and the Qinhuai Army will soon launch an offensive against the Han army with food and grass security. Beware of enemy attacks in the direction of Huaiyang, but also because of the presence of the Qi army, it will not be able to fully deal with the Han army.

And if the Qi Army really sent troops to attack the Qinhuai Army from the flank, it would be extremely troublesome.

Qi Ning solved the problem of food supply, so he wanted to take this opportunity to relieve Puyang’s threat by the way.

To solve the Puyang problem, Shentuluo must be used.

He didn’t know whether using Duan Shao as a bargaining chip could really persuade Shen Tuluo, and he had prepared for the worst. At this time, when he heard Shen Tuluo’s words, his heart was lifted, but his face did not change, and he said: ” All

you need is a letter!”

“Let me write a letter and send it to Puyang to persuade Linghu Xu to submit to him?” Shen Tuluo smiled and said, “You must have thought too much!”

Qi Ning shook his head: “The governor cares about the life and death of the 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the life and death of Duan Shao. Does Prime Minister Linghu not care? The Prime Minister Linghu may be hesitating

. Luo shook his head and said, “I won’t write this letter without seeing His Royal Highness!”

“This is a matter of course.” Qi Ning said with a smile: “If the governor does not object, now you can let the fleet dock and follow me. Huize City is waiting for His Highness to arrive, and I will never force it until I see His Highness!”

“Go ashore?”

“Captain, if you don’t go ashore again, I only worry that these soldiers under your command will starve to death.” Qi Ning said : “If my estimate is correct, His Royal Highness will definitely arrive at Huize City within three to five days. A banquet has been prepared in the city to wash away the dust for the Governor.”

Shen Tuluo stared at Qi Ning with a solemn expression. Go to the window.

He stared at the pitch-dark night, and seemed to use a pair of eyes to see through everything in the darkness. After a long time, he said solemnly: “Come on!”

Qi Ning frowned slightly. With his current martial arts, he naturally wouldn’t worry about Shen Tuluo meeting. A threat to him, even if a group of soldiers rushed in from the outside, Qi Ning was confident enough to kill Shen Tuluo.

Soon, the hatch was opened, and one person came in and cupped his hands: “The subordinate is here!”

“Go on, all ships will dock!” Shen Tuluo turned around and ordered.

The man was stunned and asked, “Captain, rely on… which way?”

“Nan’an!”

The man was even more surprised, but immediately said, “Got the order!” He retreated.

Only then did Qi Ning breathe a sigh of relief. It was not difficult for him to kill Shen Tuluo, but he didn’t want to kill him tonight. This was not because Qi Ning was benevolent, but once he started, he carefully planned to crack the purpose of the garrison in Puyang. cannot be reached.

Shen Tuluo gave an order, and the sailors of the fleet were quite surprised, but they did not dare to disobey the order. All ships went to the south bank. There was no dock on the Huai River. Although several small warships came by, but Shen Tuluo, the main battleship, was unable to dock and was easily stranded. When it reached shallow water, it stopped and let the boat go down.

Shentuluo ordered everyone to disembark. In the dark, hundreds of sailors from Dongqi landed on the south bank. This area was deserted and the shore was full of lush thorns and grasses. As soon as everyone landed on the shore, they heard shouts from all over the place. The shore was not far away. In the grass at the place, countless figures suddenly appeared, armed with guns and knives, all rushing towards this side.

Shen Tuluo drew his knife in his hand, and the sailors also changed color, but after all, they were well-trained and formed a formation in an instant. Shentuluo glanced at Qi Ning and sneered: “So you set an ambush here?

” Don’t be impatient.” Qi Ning smiled slightly, stepped forward, raised his arm, and held the fire zhezi between his fingers, the huo zhezi burst into flames, and then he stopped when he saw the group of people rushing over, one with a number of people. The man greeted him with his armor on his body and holding a big sword, it was Han Yu.

Seeing Qi Ning, Han Yu said happily, “Your Highness!”

Qi Ning nodded, then turned around and said, “Captain, they are waiting on the shore just to bring food.” He ordered, “Bring the dry food here!”

Han Yu turned around, made a gesture, and immediately stepped up to a dozen people from behind, picking up the bamboo basket and placing the bamboo basket in the middle, Qi Ning then said to Shen Tuluo: “Great Governor, in addition to fried rice, there are other Big bread and steamed buns, enough for your brothers to eat for three to five days.”

Shen Tuluo stepped forward and used a knife to open the tarpaulin covered on top of the bamboo basket. When he saw that there was food underneath, he hesitated for a while, and then he withdrew his knife and swept away the crowd of Chu soldiers. He said lightly, “They have always been on the shore. Follow?”

“I know that the governor’s house is kind-hearted and will not ignore the soldiers in Puyang.” Qi Ning smiled: “I believe that our negotiation will be successful, so they have been following the fleet on the shore, ready to send at any time. Serve the

food.”

“What do you mean when you say it’s enough for my people to eat for three or five days?” Shen Tuluo frowned.

Qi Ning sighed: “Captain, these brothers under your command must be concerned about their families. What I mean is, let them go home to visit their parents, wives and children first, and they don’t need to follow the governor to Huize City.”

Shen Tuluo frowned. But he quickly laughed and said, “Are you afraid that after they enter the city with me, they will seize the city of Huize?”

“If the governor really thinks this is the case, I can’t argue. Actually, in my opinion, I am worried about the city. The governor feels that he will take them all to Huize City, thinking that I will take them all as hostages.” Qi Ning said with a smile, “In Huize City, a residence has been prepared for the governor, and it is very clean, just waiting for His Royal Highness to come. Meet the Governor.”

“Haha, that’s good.” Shen Tuluo stared at Qi Ning’s eyes and said, “Qining, you are very thoughtful.” He turned around and swept the exhausted people under his hands. The soldiers were silent for a long time before sighing: “Bring your dry food and go back to your hometown.”

“The Governor…!” Everyone rushed forward: “We will live and die with the Governor!”

“Captain, let’s fight with them!”

Han Yu’s sergeants were all ready to guard against the Dongqi sailors.

Shen Tuluo’s face became serious, and he said solemnly: “This is the last time this General will issue orders to you. Are you going to disobey your orders? Bring food, and go back now.”

Seeing that Shen Tuluo was like this, the sailors did not dare to say any more. Some of them stared at the Chu soldiers with fierce light in their eyes. After a while of silence, someone finally stepped forward and took rations from the bamboo basket, and the others also stepped forward. They took the food, but they all stood on the shore and did not leave.

Qi Ning smiled and said, “Captain, your brothers, at most four boats can fit in. We will keep the other boats for

now . I don’t know what to do next?”

, but still instructed his subordinates: “You take the four ships, and the rest are left here.”

“Please!” Qi Ning raised his hand and made a gesture, Shen Tuluo did not hesitate, and walked away, behind him The voice of a soldier came: “The Great Governor!” Immediately, there was a burst of agitation, and all the Dongqi sailors knelt on the shore, and some even choked and sobbed.

Shen Tuluo stopped for a while, closed his eyes slightly, but did not look back, and quickly continued to move forward.
