"Your Majesty, Li Yang is here."

Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard this and walked out of the cabin. The breeze was gentle on the river.

Looking high from the Five-Otto Ship, the clouds and mist on the Dayi Mountain in the distance are blocked, and the yellow city of Liyang City at the foot of the mountain is embedded in the mountains. On the official road from the city to the ferry, tens of thousands of civilians carry chicken buses carrying military rations, and four-wheeled ox carts are coming to the ferry.

On the land, Xu Shiji, Wang Mahan also led 10,000 soldiers to camp on the shore, and saw flags and spears and halberds.

The Zhao army warships from Yongji Canal were successively anchored on the Liyang Ferry.

Only one Liyang Ferry could not dock with thousands of warships from the Zhao army, so some warships were divided and parked on the Baima Ferry in Qi County on the other side.

But the navy on both sides of the Taiwan Straits used large ships and giant ships as the city, and small boats shuttled back and forth. The Yellow River rolled, and the navigators on both sides of the Zhao State actually blocked the entire surface of the Yellow River.

Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu felt very comforted.

And under the Five Toothed Ship, a small boat was slowly sailing in.

There were four people sitting on the boat, including Qin Qiong, Wang Bo, Yu Shinan, Wang Xuanying, and several soldiers who rowed the oars.

Qin Qiong was injured, with a bandage on his right arm, and his face was not good. Yu Shinan was silently looking at the Yellow River, showing a thoughtful look. Wang Xuanying was pale and his eyes moved. He didn't know what he was thinking, but Wang Bo was always restless.

Looking at the majestic Five-Toothed Ship and its future destiny, Wang Bo was always very nervous. He remembered that this was also the case when he was chased by Zhang Xutuo's Qi County officers and soldiers.

The future is uncertain, and life and death are unknown. You may have to fall to the ground in the next moment. Why is this the reason? If I had known before the fall of Hulao Pass, I would not have to work hard, so why bother back here?

But Wang Bo couldn't help it. When he saw the huge fleet of Zhao troops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, he knew that his choice to surrender to Zhao was the best.

Qi County on the other side is his base camp. When the Zhao army heads south from Yongji Canal and crosses the Yellow River from Liyangdu, they must land on Baimadu. At that time, they will be the first to be defeated, either to subdue Zhao or defend against Zhao's army to the end. Wang Bo did not stay out of the matter. This is the third way out.

Wang Bo boarded the Five-Tooth Ship nervously. At this time, he saw a man in a famous yellow military uniform standing on the deck, surrounded by Zhao army officials and generals, like stars holding the moon.

Wang Bo knew that the other party must be Li Chongjiu. Wang Bo looked at him secretly, but saw that the other party was only in his twenties, and was a round younger than him, but now he is the overlord of the side.

I think Li Shimin is about the same age as Li Chongjiu, but Li Shimin has today because he relies on the power of the Tang Dynasty. Li Chongjiu started from scratch and has today, Wang Bo cannot help but admire him.

Wang Xuanying was also looking at Li Chongjiu, thinking that it was this person, his father, Li Yuan, the Turkic Chuluo Khan, who was the most powerful person in the world. At present, Hulao has been lost. This person is Luoyang, and the last hope of Zheng State.

After the four of them visited Li Chongjiu's name, Wang Xuanying was the crown prince of Zheng, but he just bowed and did not kneel down. Seeing that the other party had reached this time, he was still holding on to the air, and the generals of Zhao army beside him couldn't help but hum.

However, Du Yan and Changsun Anshi, who were among the ministers of Zhao, came up together and worshiped Wang Xuanying. Wang Xuanying nodded casually, obviously very arrogant.

At this moment, Wang Bo suddenly kowtowed and said, "The criminal Wang Bo, begs His Majesty to give him death."

"Marquis Licheng, what crime is there?"

"The criminal and the Tang army fought fiercely at Hulao Pass for three days and three nights. They were attacked by Li Shimin personally and were eventually defeated. Hulao Pass was owned by the Tang army. The criminals were responsible for his heavy trust and lost Hulao Pass. They deserved to die if they lost Hulao."

Li Chongjiu did not speak, and all the generals of the Zhao army were surprised. The envoy of Wang Shichong Du Yan and Changsun Anshi who came with the army changed their colors and had no blood on their faces.

Speaking of this, Wang Xuanying, Yu Shinan and Qin Qiong all showed a look of guilt.

Yu Shinan said: "Your Majesty, there are only more than 2,000 remnants of Zheng's army in Hulao City. When the Marquis of Licheng arrived, the Prince of Zheng did not allow our army to enter the city, and even lost the opportunity. When the Tang army attacked the city, Sima Chen Yue rebelled. In the time of crisis, the Marquis of Licheng led his army to break into Hulao Guanzhong and fought in the streets of the Tang army, while the General Qin was attacking from the side. The two armies fought fiercely in Hulao Pass for three days and three nights. Finally, Li Shimin led his light cavalry to attack from Luoyang. Only then did we not be able to defend Hulao and give it to the Tang army, which was really ashamed."

Hearing that Wang Xuan should not let Qin Qiong and Wang Bo enters the city, Li Chongjiu glared at the other party immediately.

Even Qin Qiong said, "Damn it, if Li Shimin hadn't arrived in the end, how could it be lost to Chai Shao and Li Junxian? Your Majesty, please send another ten thousand troops to me, Lao Qin, and you will take down Hulao Pass."

After Qin Qiong finished speaking, Ji Chuan said coldly: "If Li Shimin personally supervised the Hulao Pass, then even if General Qin gave 20,000 troops, he would not be able to conquer Hulao!"

"What did you say?" Qin Qiong was so angry that his beard raised, "If you can't take the Huzhu, Qin will be willing to be a military order, please let Your Majesty accept it."

"At present, attacking Hulao Pass is indeed not the best opportunity." Li Chongjiu said softly.

Qin Qiong was just stunned, while Wang Xuanying and others were the ones who were on the side had the most movement, and their faces suddenly turned pale.

"Your Majesty!" Du Yan lowered his head and looked at Li Chongjiu in panic. He remembered Li Chongjiu's three conditions at the beginning, but he did not expect that at this point, Hulao Pass was still broken by Li Tang. Du Yan was about to say something to ask for.

But Wang Xuanying said anxiously: "The Emperor of Zhao, now you have a place of Zhao Wei. Thanks to my father in Henan to resist the army of Li Tang for you. If our Zheng State is destroyed, the next one will be your Great Zhao. At this moment, can't you see clearly? "

Wang Xuanying had just finished speaking, but with a snap, Li Chongjiu actually covered Wang Xuanying's left face with a palm.

"Does the prince feel pain?" Li Chongjiu asked softly.

"You actually hit me, I am the prince of Zheng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chongjiu covered Wang Xuanying's right face with another palm, but when he saw Wang Xuanying vomiting blood this time, his two teeth were thrown out. Changsun Anshi, just wanted to dissuade him, but was firmly held by several guards of Zhao State.

Li Chongjiu looked at Wang Xuan and said, "I, Li Chongjiu, have today. Fortunately, I am a general of the work. I have taken the head to conquer the world for me. I have nothing to do with your Wang family. Instead, you lost the Huzhu and ruined my major affairs. Even if you kill you ten times, I will take it seriously. You think the identity of the prince of Zheng is the only one who cares about it."

Wang Xuanying looked at Li Chong's nine-eyed sword, and immediately shook his head: "Your Majesty, I am young and ignorant. You are not aware of villains, don't bother with me!"

Seeing that Wang Xuan should surrender, Changsun Anshi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is already a mistake. Why should the two alliances hurt the harmony because of this? The life and death of Zheng State are just in your thoughts."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Xuanying nodded quickly.

Du Yan also begged: "Your Majesty has something unknown. The Tang soldiers have been besieging Luoyang for three months. There is no rice to eat in Luoyang City. Any piece of silk is only worth three liters of millet, and even ten pieces of cloth cannot buy a liter of salt. The clothes are as cheap as earth mustard. The ministers in the city cannot even eat thick bran. If Your Majesty does not save you, Luoyang will be destroyed."

Li Chongjiu glanced at Changsun Anshi, and Du Yan asked back: "Have I ever said I would withdraw my troops?"

Du Yan and Changsun Anshi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Marquis of Licheng!" Li Chongjiu looked at Wang Bo.

Wang Boben, who saw that Li Chongjiu and Wang Xuanying had slapped him so mercilessly, thought to himself that I was dead. But when he saw Li Chongjiu, he said, "Although the battle of Hulao did not protect Hulao, you have tried your best. I am very pleased. Now I will add you as Duke of Qi and serve Zhao State well."

Wang Bo did not expect that things would turn around, so he knelt down and kowtowed, "I thank Your Majesty for not killing you, and I am willing to do whatever you want."

Li Chongjiu nodded with a smile.

At this time, Xue Wanshu said, "If our army wants to enter Luoyang, we must go to Chenggao Road. If we do not break Hulao Pass, we will not be able to enter Luoyang. Now that the Tang army is guarding Hulao Pass, Li Shimin is in charge. I think it may not be easy to attack Hulao Pass."

"Xue Qing, what are your opinions?" Li Chongjiu asked.

Xue Wanshu said: "Instead of fighting with the Tang army under Hulao, Your Majesty should lead troops to attack Hanoi, and the troops are coming to Pujin and threaten Guanzhong. This is also the best strategy."
