Chapter 925: I Live up to Jiangnan

Chapter 927

Chu Yunsheng's body was hastily buried, which is not even a big event in Jiangnan at this moment.

Conquering Yangzhou City, too many people died. Luofeng City's 100,000 horses have lost at least half. Of course, because of the replenishment of prisoners of war, the total strength of Li Xingzai's men was even greater than before. But too many brothers fell on the way forward.

In contrast, Chu Yunsheng was no different from them.

There are too many things to deal with, and there is no time for Li Xingzai to grieve.

The Eastern Navy successfully took over the city of Yangzhou, and encountered no resistance along the way. Taking prisoners of war, reassuring the people, setting up defenses in the area... Li Xingzai was also troubled by all kinds of things.

It's fine with Chu Yunsheng, but without Chu Yunsheng, Li Xingzai will handle all these matters personally. After Chu Yun died, Song Youqu took over his original job.

Of course, Song Youqu is also a talent that can be made, but compared to Chu Yunsheng, there is still a certain gap.

The letter of Anmin was first issued, saying that Li Xingzai was transported by the sky and got Jiangnan from Li Xing. All of them are descendants of the Li family, and they have little to do with outsiders. When you do things for Li Xing, you are allegiance to the empire. Doing things for Li Xingzai is like allegiance to the empire. Moreover, Li Xing also had a will before his death, to let everyone protect the Li family's country, resist foreign races, and not fight with each other.

Thanks to Li Xingzai's surname, after the letter of Anmin was sent out, the city lords all over the place expressed their allegiance. Anyway, everyone has no psychological burden, and Li Xingzai has indeed shown the appearance of a king.

In general, Li Xingzai's acceptance of Jiangnan's job was quite smooth. In one month, he became the ruler of Yangzhou, and the name of the British emperor was spread all over the world.

But it is not without dissonance.

This voice came from Jiangning, to be precise, Heshen.

But he said that Heshen brought 5,000 people to support Yangzhou City, and he accommodated the remnants of defeated soldiers along the way.

However, before he could reach Yangzhou City, Mr. Zhu returned to report that Yangzhou had changed hands. He Shen also knew in his heart that it would be useless to rush to Yangzhou City now, so he turned to Jiangning City halfway.

Li Xing's youngest son, Li Lingyun, escaped from Yangzhou and joined Heshen. In Jiangning City, Heshen supported Li Lingyun to become emperor and established a small court to compete with Li Xingzai.

On the side of the couch, how can others sleep peacefully.

After sorting out the matter at hand, Li Xingzai immediately sent troops to attack Heshen. The army marched to Jiangning City, but did not launch an attack, but set up camp ten miles away from the city.

Li Xingzai didn't want to start the war lightly. First, he had too many things to deal with, and the most important thing was to recuperate. Second, his opponent is He Shen, after all, he came from Toad Village.

Thinking of this, Li Xingzai felt a little headache.

We all know what to do, and we can't sit down and talk about anything.

Therefore, he sent someone to give Jiangning City a letter of persuasion to surrender, saying that everyone was the descendant of the Li family, and the top priority at the moment was to quell the war and fight the Rong clan together.

They also sent envoys to Jiangning City to negotiate. The task of negotiation fell on Song Youqu, and he looked embarrassed, but he meant that he didn't want to take on this errand.

Li Xingzai frowned: "Jiangning City is not a dragon pond, what are you afraid of?"

"What this subordinate is afraid of is not Jiangning City. Even if it is Longtan Tiger's Den, I dare to venture into it. The person I want to meet this time is Heshen. He has already said that when we met last time, he will not be merciful when we meet again. The subordinate is I am afraid that there will be no return.”

Li Xingzai waved his hand and said, "You have been worrying too much. What kind of friendship does I have with Heshen? He will not kill them all. Besides..."

Li Xingzai paused: "Li Xing's family is still in my hands, and if they want your life, aren't they afraid of the ruthlessness of the king?"

Seeing the expression on Li Xingzai's face, Song Youqu showed a hint of fear.

It was really different, he was no longer the poor prince in Luofeng City. At present, it has occupied Jiangnan, and has the qualifications to wrestle with the Rong. In the future, this world may not be his.

He has already said that the king's way is ruthless, not to mention Jun Wu joking about it. Song Youqu really did not dare to refuse, and brought a group of people to Jiangning City to negotiate.

Everyone knows that the person in charge of Jiangning City is He Shen, and Li Lingyun is only thirteen years old, so he can't really do anything big.

After some setbacks, Song Youqu met He Shen, and the two met at a pier by the river.

Even with the attitude of a winner, in front of He Shen, Song Youqu still didn't dare to care. After seeing him, he saluted respectfully, without any arrogance.

"Mr. He, Your Majesty ordered me to meet with Mr. He. Your Majesty is full of praise for Mr. He's talent, and this time he ordered me to ask Mr. He."

"Miao Zan, the subordinate's ability is very clear, Master Song please come back."

The key is that He Shen's attitude is also polite, which makes Song Youqu realize that things are a bit difficult. If he was furious, things would be easier. Anger is because there are knots in the heart, and knots can always be unraveled. But now with his attitude, he doesn't know what his heart knot is, so he can't start.

Song Youqu cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty has indeed issued a strict order, Jiang Ning can refuse it, and Mr. He must be asked to go back. Please think twice about this matter. My Majesty has asked Mr. He more than once, and it should be taken seriously. Mr.'s talent. Now that Li Xing is dead, I really don't know the reason for rejecting Mr. and Mr. He. Can I forget about the past friendship, and Mr. and Mr. and plan to spend all what he has learned?"

Looking at the surging river in front of him, Heshen sighed softly and said, "I told you last time that I will not be merciful when we meet again. This time it is a battle between the two countries. Some words, I will say it again, I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet in the future."

Song Youqu held her breath and listened.

"When I walked out of Liangzhou, the first thing I did was to invest in the East China Sea. If I really did what I wanted, you and I would be friends today, not enemies."

Song Youqu was stunned, he really didn't know this.

"It's a pity that good luck makes people, and everything is different from what I think." He Shen continued: "Li Xing treated me with the kindness of knowing, and gave me a way when I was desperate. He once told me that I If I don’t lose Jiangnan, Jiangnan will not lose me.”

He Shen raised his head and said, "Jiangnan didn't blame me, and I won't blame Jiangnan."

Song Youqu paused and said, "Mr. He is determined to be an orphan in the south of the Yangtze River. It is truly admirable and admirable, and everyone in the world will spread the reputation of Mr. He. However, for the sake of one person's reputation, Jiangning City has been plunged into war, hundreds of thousands of people have died. What are the people guilty of?"

"After all..." Song Youqu looked into He Shen's eyes and said, "You and I both know that Jiangning City cannot be defended."
