In Dezhou City, Wang Xiao was talking to Gui Niu.

"Dezhou is the gateway to the capital from the south, and now it is also the gateway to the south of Shandong from the north. The treacherous bandits are still second. If Jiannu goes south, the canal is along the Lutezhou, Liaocheng, Jining, Xuzhou, Yangzhou... These places are taken away, and half of the country will be paralyzed. We can only guard this Shandong gateway and keep it. My father is in Shandong again. In name, Jiangnan is still from the Chu Dynasty. The canal will be alive again. This is the reason why your Dezhou Gang supports me, and it is also the place where I cannot live without your Dezhou Gang. But there is no danger in Dezhou to defend..."

"If there is no danger to defend, I can only defend it with the flesh and blood of the soldiers. When the war begins, the people will retreat, food, grass, cannon fire and all kinds of supplies will be transported, and the wounded will be transported away... I will give all of these to you. Not only transportation, I also want you to build all the roads and fortifications. Of course, this is a later story."

Gui Nie Loach solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Don't let the Marquis down."

Wang laughed and continued, "Linqing is now in Wu Tong's hands. Before we get it back, the canal will be difficult for the time being. Don't just focus on this river. Now many places should transport land, and sea transportation should transport sea transportation. First build three roads between Dezhou, Pingyuan County and Dongdaying, so that the cavalry can support each other as quickly as possible."

"Next, it's not just between these three places, from Dezhou to Jinan, from Jinan to Laizhou, from Laizhou to Binzhou, and from Binzhou to Dezhou..." Speaking of this, Wang Xiao drew a circle on the map and pondered: "In this big place, I have established a line of defense and migrated population and materials. Except for a section of the sea, the rest are all over the land. During the war, taking the land is not as good as walking on the canal. Now you have to let your brothers practice it... In short, you have a idea to manage this place well."

Gui Niu looked at the circle on the map, tried hard to remember it for a long time, then looked up and said, "Mr. Marquis, I've recorded it."

"Okay." Wang Xiao nodded and explained the construction of several fortifications, and the ghost loach responded one by one.

Before leaving, Gui Nie Loach thought about it and then turned around and asked, "Marquis...that...Military Affairs Department... can anyone take the exam? Can you pass the jail?"

"Huh?" Wang Xiao was slightly surprised, looked at Gui Niuqiu up and down, and said, "Yes, but the written test is not simple. You have to understand the art of war... well, you have to know how to plan."

The ghost loach scratched his head.

He looks fierce, and it is quite strange to have such a shy expression.

"It's not me, it's Mr. Hua who wants to take the exam. He always feels that making life on the canal will embarrass his ancestors..."

"Then if Mr. Hua is gone, can you help with the affairs of the Chinese government?" The mobile phone remembers "Silu Chinese Network →" for a second to provide you with exciting novel reading.

"I'll do something with someone else." Gui Niu slapped his chest and said, "Of course I want to fulfill my brothers."

Wang Xiaowei was a little funny, but changed into a serious expression.

"Let's talk about it after passing the exam. Don't think about taking a chance on me. The Military Affairs Office exam is fair, just and open."

The ghost loach left, and Wang Xiao was about to deal with something else, when Geng Dang leaned in and said, "Marty, the eldest son is here to bring Li Baibo."

Wang Xiao thought about it, but said, "No see you for now..."

~~

Since Wang Xiao had no time to see Li Bobo, Wang Zhen had to go to Pingyuan County, so he had to leave Li Bobo in the Military Affairs Office first.

They had a very scheming along the way, but at this time, Wang Zhen was not polite and asked someone to bring a chain and handcuff Li Bobo there.

"Brother Li, I'm offending." Wang Zhen was very polite and considerate and bowed again before leaving.

Li Bobo smiled bitterly, and was quite helpless about the behavior of brothers Wang Xiao.

This is an ordinary house with no decorations. Occasionally, someone can hear a little about the things that are not important to the Chu army.

"There is such a good opportunity now. If I can pass the exam, I may become the Marquis' confidant..."

"We are in the Military Affairs Office, why do you have to take the exam?"

"It's different. Now I'm drawing some maps here. People just think we are still craftsmen, and if we pass the exam, we will become officials."

"Ha, so what about craftsmen? We have no less rice and grain than any official. Besides, it is not a serious scientific examination. After all, it is an official position recommended by the Marquis to the King of Qi. How could anyone regard this as a serious fame?"

"Different, different. When our army left the city to fight, Mr. Dong and Mr. Xia were far more courageous than General Gao. In the future, the Military Affairs Office would have to shine..."

The voice gradually drifted away, and Li Bobo listened in the room and sighed slightly.

After a while, someone pushed open the door and walked in.

Although Li Bobo had never seen Wang Xiao, he knew it was him at first sight.

"I thought the Chu Hou was busy with business and would not see me so soon."

"It's not because of the busy business, I just don't meet you with my elder brother. He said you are a talented person in the world. If you meet him and persuade him again, you may be able to convince you to surrender. But why should I do it?"

"It's true." Li Bobo smiled and said, "On the other hand, you didn't want to see me, because you were afraid that you would be convinced by me?"

"Don't be so big, you are my prisoner now."

Li Bobo said: "I met Wang Zhen today, and his character and talent are indeed heartbreaking. He has pity for the people, but he is probably not a loyal minister of the Chu country... Now the Chu Hou is now a great military achievements and has become the mainstay of the Chu Dynasty. The elites in the north are all in the hands of the Chu Hou."

He said this, smiled and suddenly asked, "Do you have the will to be independent on Chu?"

"Li Bobo, you are very smart." Wang smiled, "It's a pity that you guessed wrong."

"That's half the guess. Even if you don't have this mind, Wang Zhen may not have no intention of helping you succeed. He is the same person as me, and I understand him." Li Bobo said: "He knew that I would not surrender to the Chu Dynasty, but he still wanted to let you see me. So, he wanted me to surrender, but to you."

Wang Xiao didn't answer, and spread his hands helplessly, saying, "I just said I shouldn't see you."

"Since I have seen Wang Zhen's thoughts, why should Chu Hou kill me?"

"Since you can see it, others may also see it. But it doesn't matter. I don't have the intention, and no one can wrong me."

Li Bobo smiled and asked, "Marty Chu doesn't want to kill me, is it because of the Seventh Prince?"

"Well, you are such a bad scholar. Have you peeked at my letter?"

"No. But since you are willing to release my wife back, you must still have the Seventh Prince in your heart."

Wang Xiao said, "So what? I want me to let you go too?"

Li Bobo said slowly, "The Chu Hou doesn't know what he wants, right? In the chaotic times, if you want to make a living on Chu, you shouldn't have gone to Liaodong at the beginning. Wouldn't it be better to directly manage Jiaodong? Or now, you have already held Emperor Chu hostage and you don't have to pay any attention to Zhou Yan's life or death. If you really want to support Chu, you shouldn't have captured so much military power. You support Zhou Yan's coup and seize power, and you don't act like a loyal minister at all. You even privately convict your life with our seventh prince. If one day Zhou Yan really stabilizes the situation, you will be the first person to kill."

"You won't be confused about these. At least I know that Wang Zhen has seen them very clearly. I really can't figure out where your intentions are. Maybe you don't understand what you want?"

Wang Xiao looked at him, smiled and said, "I didn't want to be an emperor or a powerful minister. I just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life without being safe, nor would I be oppressed. I didn't have to kneel down and act respectfully, nor would I be killed for no reason. I could be a commoner, but I could still live a wealthy life and would not be worried that someone would rush into my house one day."

"Ha, it's simple. If you think about it carefully, how many people in this world can live like this?"

"Yes, but I want to live that way."

Li Bobo said: "If the Marquis of Chu really thinks like this, he can join our Rui Dynasty. I promise that the Marquis can live like this."

"You can't promise."

"I promise." Li Bobo was very sincere, "I understand Your Majesty. As long as you are willing to vote, Your Majesty can promise you a marriage with Your Highness Seventh, keep your troops, alive and iron coupons, and be kind for life. Even if the Marquis can't trust me, he should be able to trust Your Highness Seventh."

"You can't promise." Wang Xiao was also sincere, "I'll vote. Even if Tang Zhongyuan doesn't kill me, I still have to worry about Jiannu killing me."

"What's the difference? I said, Your Majesty can keep your troops, how did you do it on the Chu Dynasty? You can still act the same when you arrive in Rui Dynasty..."

"It's different." Wang smiled.

“Same.”

"Different..." Wang Xiao said: "The power given by Tang Zhongyuan is not given by Zhou Yan..."

He said this, and he stopped, and then chuckled slightly after a little confused.

Kicked Li Bobo's iron chain, and Wang smiled and said, "Remember to me, you are my prisoner."

A prisoner actually dared to surrender the person who captured him.

——I didn’t treat this way when I was a prisoner in Liaodong.

Thinking of this, he was too lazy to talk to Li Bobo anymore, and turned around and walked out.

"The Seventh Prince is sick." Li Bobo said again.

Wang Xiao stopped.

"She promised in front of His Majesty that the Wang family would surrender, but Wang Zhen led the Emperor of Chu to run away. When he was in Bazhou, the Eastern Expedition Army had already caught up with the Chu army. The Seventh Highness was worried that the Wang family would be in trouble, so he opened the passage privately, so Wang Zhen was able to break through and escape to Cangzhou. She was a daughter and spent countless efforts to make her debut in the rebel army, and now she failed all her efforts..."

After saying a few words, Wang Xiao did not turn around and walked out the door.

Li Bobo looked at his back and exhaled slightly.

Still couldn't convince Wang Xiao.

After picking up Tang Xiaoshuang, he began to think about this. Unfortunately, he still didn't convince him.

Forget it, I met today, and the road is still long...

~~

Outside the house, Wang Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

He came to meet Li Bobo, which was the most meaningless thing he had done in the past few days.

He had no purpose in Li Bobo.

So, he did not act as a marquis and pretended to be deep, but just came over and chatted casually like an ordinary person. Because the other party was Qianqian's old acquaintance, he came to meet him.

Unexpectedly, I was so open-minded, but the other party wanted to persuade me to surrender.

——It's simply bad intentions...
