Chapter 1114 The Old Benefactor

In the capital, Wang Xiao was already preparing to go on a southern tour. His family members rarely went out for a trip, and they were all very happy.

Gu Hengbo shuttled through her sisters' houses every day, measuring and setting clothes for them, and making a few clothes that are convenient and beautiful;

Ying'er counts on her fingers every day what pastries she wants to bring to eat on the road;

Chunning, Zuo Mingjing is so gentle, even though she doesn't say anything, she can't hide her expectation...

Although Wang Xiao was a little worried about the battle in Liaodong, he could not find any flaws even after the map was broken. In the end, he put down his worries.

On the 12th day of the first lunar month, he handled the last few trivial matters before departure at the palace.

Thinking that the Li North Korea might be destroyed by the remnants of the Qing army, the Chu Dynasty, as the former sect leader, failed to protect its former vassal state, Wang Xiao felt very sorry, so he submitted a petition to Emperor Chu Zhou Yan to appoint Concubine Li as the queen.

This Concubine Li was originally the Princess Shu'an, North Korea, whom Zhou Yan married. Now her father, Li Xiu, has inherited the position of the throne of North Korea and can be called a princess.

Then, two more wood carvings that Wang Xiao customized were also made and sent to the palace.

These two wood carvings are very exquisite. They wear phoenix crowns and colorful clothes respectively. From a distance, they look no different from the empress dowager and queen of the Chu Dynasty today...

Wang Xiao actually asked his mother-in-law Empress Dowager Xu whether he wanted to live in the palace, or live with Chunning, or go to find his son Mr. Zhou.

Empress Dowager Xu thought about it and asked if she could live with her son for a while before checking out. She was worried that she would not be used to the hard life, so Wang Xiao promised that she would come back if she could not be used to it.

As for Empress Li, she said she wanted to accompany Mr. Zhou very firmly. Perhaps it was because she was really affectionate, but she knew in her heart that the Chu Dynasty could not let her remarry.

In short, if you change the wood carvings to replace these two people from the palace, Wang Xiao plans to take her with her to Mr. Zhou during this southern tour.

Wang Xian was a little embarrassed about this...

"King of Jin, Mr. Zhou has now married and had children, and has a deep relationship with his wife. If he sends Li... Li over, he may be embarrassed."

In Wang Xiao's eyes, this was not a reason, and he said: "He can learn how to treat two women well. Although this requires some skills, it is not difficult."

Wang Xian was silent for a long time and asked: "If Mr. Zhou is unwilling to accept Li..."

"In this way, you can cut off the money you provided to him for a month or two, and then let Li take the money over with him." Wang smiled, "Look, it's not difficult at all."

Wang Xian was speechless.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Wang Xiao set out south on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

He usually went out by himself, but no one knew his itinerary because he was walking casually, and never brought too many guards. But this time, he brought many family members and entourages, and the route was set, so he brought three thousand guards and left Yongding Gate in a mighty manner...

Xuanfu.

Shi Mengnong counted a batch of supplies and turned to the yamen room.

He was originally a minister of Southern Chu, and he went north to support Southern Chu and negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty. After being arrested, he would rather die than surrender. He was rescued by Su Jian, and then followed Tang Jie to fight against the Qing Dynasty and finally returned to the Chu Dynasty.

Shi Mengnong was a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, and had great achievements in both civil and military affairs, so he was sent to the Xuanfu Governor of Military Affairs. On the other hand, it was also for trade with Mongolia and the subsequent civil and political affairs of Mongolia.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is heading north to sweep Mongolia, Liu Yigu brought the troops from Xuanfu to guard Jizhen, and Xuanfu's defense becomes empty.

But according to the current situation of the Chu Dynasty, there are no enemies outside the Xuanfu, and there is no need for too many troops to guard the battle...

After the Chinese New Year, I looked around and saw the scene of busy farming. Shi Mengnong thought about the next thing to go to the grassland to build a city and relieve the people. When he looked up, he suddenly saw a wolf rising...

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The shouting started, followed by the sound of horse hooves, and the Xuanfu started the war unexpectedly.

...

"boom!"

The cannons on the top of the city fell into the formation of the Junggar cavalry.

However, this was already the last shell on Xuanfu City Gate.

Finally someone climbed to the top of the city...

This is nine days after the war began, and the 26th day of the first lunar month has arrived.

Su Jian was already angry. He did not expect that the Xuanfu city could block the Junggar army's powerful troops for seven days, Shi Mengnongcai's little force.

He had to capture Xuanfu and get artillery and food from the city before he could capture Juyong City, encircle Yanjing City, force the Chu army in Liaodong to withdraw its troops, and rescue the Qing Dynasty.

Then, he could rush his troops south to rob the captive.

Otherwise, without the support of the Qing Dynasty, he knew that Junggar could not bear the revenge of the Chu Dynasty alone.

In this first battle, the Junggar army unexpectedly cut off all the roads for help from Xuanfu, and even the cavalry rushed into the city gate as soon as possible. However, Shi Mengnong actually regained the city gate due to insufficient troops, and then defended for nine days...

But in the end, Su Jian captured the city gate.

He paid a huge price, and finally...

"boom!"

There was another loud bang on the top of the city, and a cannon barrel exploded and smashed into the siege army under the city wall.

"Stop him!" Su Jian roared, "Don't let them destroy the cannons!"

"kill!"

Blood spilled over the city, and the Chu flag finally fell down...

When Su Jian climbed to the top of the city, he saw Shi Mengnong, covered in bruises, being pressed tightly.

Shi Mengnong looked at the city and immediately wanted to commit suicide with his sword, but he thought that he could not let the cannons fall into the hands of the enemy. So he led people to destroy the cannons. After destroying three cannons in a row, he was finally captured.

Su Jian watched him struggle there and strode forward.

The anger he had accumulated over the past few days disappeared completely in a moment.

"Mr. Shi! It's me... Su Jian."

Mr. Shi Meng raised his head, and an unbelievable feeling flashed in his bloody eyes.

It was not that he didn't know that Su Jian was coming, but he couldn't believe that Su Jian could call him so enthusiastically now.

The voice was still full of sincerity.

"You let him go! Mr. Shi, listen to me, don't commit suicide, it's unnecessary. Even if you want to go back to the Chu Dynasty, I won't stop you... But listen to me, I'm doing something big."

"Su Jian, are you crazy?!"

"I don't, Mr. Shi, listen to me, do you know why people have rebelled in all dynasties? Do you know why there is the White Lotus Sect? People are living too hard! I am creating a new country, which will have a vast territory as vast as the Yuan Dynasty, but the difference is that all ethnic groups are brothers and sisters..."

"Su Jian!"

"We still have doctrines. I'm trying to combine Tibetan Buddhism and White Lotus. Remember what I told you about enlightenment? I have two friends who have been doing it. They want people's wisdom and democracy, but they can't do it. I can do it, just use doctrines..."

Shi Mengnong seemed to be stunned again. He stopped roaring and no longer struggled, but just stared at Su Jian blankly.

Now, he can still see enthusiasm in the eyes of the other party, which can greatly infect others' enthusiasm...

"Mr. Shi, come and help me. Do it according to my ideas. The Chu Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are too corrupt. We should build a dynasty that will last forever. Do you know? Khan listens to me, he listens to me, he is my most determined believer..."

Su Jian stretched out his hand sincerely and smiled.

He obviously really felt that what he did was right.

Shi Mengnong didn't say anything anymore.

He knew that there were always people in the world who went astray, but most people could realize that something was right or wrong. Only Su Jian in front of him always firmly believed that he was right, so there was no possibility of turning back...

madman.

"You can let go of my Shi Gong, don't worry, he is my best friend, it's okay." Su Jian was still saying.

Shi Mengnong felt the force on his back relaxed, and he quickly pounced on him, trying to push Su Jian down the head of the city.

"No!" Su Jian shouted.

"Puff, puff..."

It was too late, and several spears had pierced Shi Mengnong's body at the same time.

Before he could pounce on Su Jian, the man had been nailed to the ground.

He didn't look up at Su Jian anymore, but just murmured vaguely in his mouth, and he couldn't finish it, and he was already dead.

"I owe you a life, I've paid it back...but you have to take another step forward and step over my body..."

Su Jian burst into tears.

While crying, he turned to look at the mountains in the distance.

"You stopped me by nine days, you would rather die than listen to me... but I want to tell you that I am right..."
