The strongest Marquis in history

Page 675

A middle-aged scribe named Zhang Gui.

He is Long Xu's counselor and concurrently serves as the governor of Guazhou, responsible for assisting Long Xu in handling government affairs.The affairs of the army are handled by Long Xu himself, but in terms of government affairs, Long Xu delegates power to Zhang Gui and does not interfere with Zhang Gui's handling of government affairs.

Zhang Guidao: "City Lord, just received the news that the army of Qi State has entered the territory east of Guazhou and started to come towards our area. It is estimated that in four days at most, the army of Qi State will arrive in Guazhou City .If the army is arranged to resist and block the attack halfway, the Qi army should not be able to reach Guazhou City for a while."

Long Xu said: "Sir, what do we do?"

Zhang Gui said slowly: "The situation this time, Qi State is aggressive. In addition, the court of Wei State has already given an answer. The Emperor Cao Xuan personally leads the army, sits in the rear of Puchang City, and will wave the flag for us in the rear , let us resist with all our strength."

"As for General Amat, the answer he gave was to let us resist with all our strength."

"It is said that Qi State is tough, and Qi State wants to confiscate all the land and population, so it must be resisted."

"Otherwise, all the power of the nobles in these places will be wiped out. As for our own people, we came back from Gaochang to report the news, saying that Amat had issued an order to resist stubbornly on the surface, and had secretly fought with a group of people. The result of the nobleman's discussion is to prepare to resist first, and at the same time arrange someone to see Wang Qi."

"Aimati's plan is to see if Wang Qi is willing to accept the surrender. As long as Wang Qi allows, all the nobles still control the current territory and population, etc., and Aimati will take people and directly surrender to Wang Qi. "

"If Wang Qi is unwilling and insists on taking away all the cities and resources controlled by the nobles in the Western Regions in accordance with the rules of the Qi Kingdom, all of us will have to fight the Qi Kingdom."

"That's the big problem right now."

Zhang Gui said slowly: "In fact, in Qi, the land is indeed owned by the imperial court, and all the resources are also owned by the imperial court. As for local officials, it is impossible to have private soldiers. According to Qi's set, our Western Region countries The nobles are not living a good life, so General Amat made a two-handed arrangement."

Long Xu nodded after listening, flicked his sleeves, and said forcefully: "No matter what, I want to see how tyrannical Qi is? We don't choose to block every step, nor choose to resist along the way. Guazhou City is waiting for the army of Qi to come."

"As long as Qi's army comes, at that time, we will try our best to frustrate them. Once Qi's army is blocked in Guazhou City, I, Long Xu, will have a greater reputation and strength in the Western Regions."

Long Xu has always been the main combat faction.

To fight, to fight.

He, Long Xu, never flinched, and he had nothing to be afraid of.

Zhang Guidao: "What the city lord said is true, but it is not easy to resist Qi's attack. After all, Qi also has a lot of cannons. Countless artillery bombardments may not be able to defend the city. At that time, it will still take two Army confrontation."

A gleam flashed in Long Xu's eyes, and he said, "A confrontation is a confrontation. Our army has full combat effectiveness and is not afraid of a battle."

Speaking of this, Long Xu paused for a while, and then said, "Could it be that you want to persuade me to surrender?"

"of course not!"

Zhang Gui shook his head and said, "If you surrender without fighting, how will the city lord gain a foothold in the future? What we have to do now, even if we plan to surrender, is to fight first and then consider the follow-up. As for the others, we will not care about it for the time being."

"well said!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Long Xu ordered, "Arrange people to quickly send a message to the rear and tell Aimati. The army led by me, Long Xu, will definitely block Qi's army and prevent Qi from advancing half a step."

"In short, if you want to negotiate with Qi, you can only talk if you win Qi and defeat Qi's offensive. If you haven't even fought the most basic battle, Qi will look down on us and look down on us, how can you negotiate? .”

Long Xu said: "The Qi Congress will speak loudly, and the other party will make things difficult for us."

Zhang Gui praised: "The city lord is wise, the so-called peace is indeed the result of the war."

Long Xu said: "Go ahead, I can rest assured that the government affairs are entrusted to you."

"Yes!"

Zhang Gui nodded and left.

After practicing martial arts, Long Xu went back to his study to read.The books that Long Xu read were all the military books of the Central Plains in Qi State. He didn't like wine and sex, but was obsessed with martial arts and the art of war.

It's just that although his martial arts are good, it's hard to reach the pinnacle.And although he said he was obsessed with the art of war, he actually slaughtered many people who disobeyed him in Guazhou City. In fact, Long Xu had never participated in or encountered a real big battle.

While Long Xu was reading a book, time slipped away quietly, and it entered night in a blink of an eye.

After nightfall, the cold wind blows.

The temperature also dropped sharply.

At this time, Long Xu was already reading a book by the fire.The entire city lord's mansion was quiet, and there were no other people coming and going, it was quiet.

Outside the city lord's mansion, there was a group of people quietly appearing.

This team of people is obviously Jiao Zigui and his party.

Jiao Zigui is the leader, and Wei Tianxiang is leading the way. Although Wei Tianxiang is a member of the Intelligence Bureau, he has another identity in Guazhou City, that is, a local businessman in Guazhou City, who has been doing business here for more than ten years.

It's just that Wei Tianxiang was instigated by the intelligence bureau and became a member of the intelligence bureau.

Wei Tianxiang himself has also been to the City Lord's Mansion.

So he knows the road conditions.

Wei Tianxiang led people to the outside of the courtyard to lead the way, and Jiao Zigui led Wei Tianxiang and a group of people in.Because the road map was drawn in advance, after a group of people entered, two masters at the master level went to the door, and two masters at the master level went to the surrounding courtyard.

The rest, led by Wei Tianxiang, headed towards the study in the backyard.

This depends on Wei Tianxiang's familiarity with the situation.

A group of people went straight to the outside of the study.

Wei Tianxiang went up to knock on the door directly, but Jiao Zigui didn't stop him, it would be good to listen to the movement in the study first, to see if Long Xu was in the hall.With the sound of knocking on the door, the next step is the sound of coming in.

Wei Tianxiang pushed the door open and entered.

Jiao Zigui directly entered with two masters.The rest of the people were all blocked at the gate of the yard, and even the attendants at the gate of the yard had been dealt with.

When Long Xu saw the visitor, he had no impression of Wei Tianxiang, let alone Jiao Zigui.He frowned, and said: "Everyone came here uninvited, and you are not someone the city lord knows. Are you trying to kill me?"

He has been assassinated countless times.

So this time, it is also believed that someone came uninvited and wanted to assassinate him.

Jiao Zigui said directly: "I come from Qi State, and I am here to order you to surrender by His Majesty's order. If you surrender and submit to Qi State, you can survive. I will resist to the death and kill without mercy."

"Hahaha……"

After Long Xu heard it, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Laughter, full of sarcasm.

Laughter, but also full of pride.

You must know that Long Xu himself is only a short step away from stepping into the peak of the master realm and becoming a real master.At that time, he may even have the hope of stepping into the realm of a great master and becoming a person who overlooks the world.

Why Cao Xuan led people into the Western Regions and was able to win easily was not only because of Cao Xuan's elite army, but also because Cao Xuan had guns and ammunition, but also because Cao Xuan had masters at the Grandmaster level under his command.

After Long Xu laughed, he said: "In the past, countless people came to assassinate me, Long Xu, but they were all defeated in the end. Even, all of them were uprooted by me, and none of them survived. Now when the Qi Emperor's army is marching , It turned out to be sending people to die. That's fine, I'll take you down first, and give the emperor of Qi a blow."

"kill!"

Long Xu let out a low snort.

He clenched his hands into fists, and with one punch he went straight to Jiao Zigui.

Jiao Zigui didn't dodge or evade, he stretched his five fingers apart, and stuck out his palm directly.The speed of this protruding seemed to be very slow, but it was the first to catch Long Xu's fist.

Jiao Zigui pulled forward, Long Xu's body was completely unsteady, and he staggered forward.Jiao Zigui took advantage of the situation and raised his foot, kicking it out directly.

boom!

The soles of his feet were printed on Long Xu's chest.

With Peiran's strength rushing down, Long Xu's body flew upside down and crashed into the desk.Under the force of this impact, the desk was even shattered.

Long Xu himself also opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.Long Xu looked horrified, he looked at Jiao Zigui, especially Jiao Zigui was young, but this move had already demonstrated his extraordinary strength.

Obviously a master of the Grand Master Realm.

He couldn't stop it at all.

Although Long Xu said he was strong and domineering, he was not stupid. He quickly said, "Wait a minute, I have something to say."

Without stopping, Jiao Zigui stepped forward and directly grabbed Long Xu who was lying on the ground, quickly took Long Xu down, and then handed him over to the two accompanying masters to control him.

At this time, Jiao Zigui was relieved.

Jiao Zigui is very clear that if a lion fights a rabbit, he still needs to go all out, and he must go all out.Take down the person first, and then it will not be too late to interrogate Long Xu to see if Long Xu is willing to surrender.

Chapter 936

Jiao Zigui looked at Long Xu who was under control, and said, "Long Xu, let's talk now, are you willing to submit to Qi?"

"me……"

Long Xu still hesitated in his heart.

He fears being killed.

Therefore, the strong words that came to his mouth were swallowed back in a blink of an eye, so that he hesitated.

Seeing this, Jiao Zigui reminded, "You have to think clearly before answering. Let me remind you. If you submit to Qi, you can survive. If you don't submit, I will kill you directly and give you a ride."

"Without you, I can take action one by one to deal with the other leaders of Guazhou City. It is not difficult to kill them. It is not difficult to capture Guazhou City. When the time comes, all the dragons in Guazhou will have no leader, and they will also surrender. "

"So, whether you surrender or not, it doesn't affect the overall situation. You should think about it carefully."

Jiao Zigui's words were very calm.

Even more confident.

Long Xu's cheeks twitched in fright.

Between life and death, there is great terror.Facing Jiao Zigui, Long Xu originally wanted to bargain hard.But seeing Jiao Zigui's attitude, when the words came to his lips, he could only swallow them.

Long Xu sighed inwardly, and said, "I, I am willing to surrender."

Jiao Zigui said: "If you are willing to surrender, that's fine. As long as you cooperate, everything is easy to talk about. Even as long as you are obedient and obedient, you will be able to enjoy prosperity and wealth in the Qi Kingdom in the future."

Long Xu smiled bitterly.

What can he do if he does not surrender?

The state of Qi sent great masters to assassinate them, and there were also a group of masters at the master level.Under this premise, if he really resisted to the end, the final result would be to kill himself.

Long Xu didn't dare to go against the Great Master.

Even in the face of the great master, he was left with nothing but despair. You must know that he was defeated just after a face-to-face encounter.Even, he was seriously injured with one move.

Long Xu took the initiative and said: "Please rest assured, I will fully cooperate. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do. I am Guazhou City, and I will unconditionally submit to Qi State."

Jiao Zigui said: "You make arrangements immediately to announce that Guazhou City will change its banner and flag, and will submit to Qi State and serve Qi State."

"Yes!"

Long Xu said: "I'll arrange it now."

Jiao Zigui called for someone, but it was quiet outside.Jiao Zigui waved his hand, and the guards who were restrained outside were put into the courtyard and allowed to enter the study.

The attendants were all trembling, fearful in their hearts, and bowed to salute Long Xu.

Long Xu said: "Go, let Zhang Gui come to discuss the matter."

"Yes!"

The servant turned and walked out.

At this time, Long Xu suddenly said: "Remember, the affairs of the family are not allowed to be leaked. Don't make up your own mind. If you do anything wrong, you will definitely be punished."

"Yes Yes!"

The servant left quickly.

Long Xu looked at Jiao Zigui and said, "Your Excellency, are you satisfied?"

Jiao Zigui said: "Cooperate well, and I won't treat you badly."

Long Xudao: "May I ask who you are? Although the territory of Qi is vast and rich in resources, there are not many great masters. You are already a great master at such a young age. I guess you are not from an ordinary background."

Jiao Zigui said: "My name is Jiao Zigui, and I am a member of the Three Purities of the Qi Kingdom. Long Xu, I brought more than ten masters this time, and each of them is a master at the peak of the master realm. As for me, I have been a great master for many years. .So if you have any thoughts in your heart, it is best to put out the thoughts in your heart. If you want to go to the first and second ends, you will be killed first."

hiss! !

Long Xu gasped.

More than ten masters.

One must know that it is extremely rare for masters in the Grandmaster realm to be in the Western Regions.But Jiao Zigui brought more than a dozen grandmasters here in one go, and they are still the pinnacle masters of the grandmaster realm.

It's terrifying.

Long Xu himself has always been a martial idiot, and he doesn't really care much about power.After all, even if he is the lord of Guazhou City, he will hand over the government affairs of Guazhou to Zhang Gui.

Hearing Jiao Zigui's words, Long Xu's heart became alive, and he immediately asked, "Grandmaster Jiao, I surrender to Qi State, and I will never resist from Guazhou City. But can I make a request?"
