Du Fuwei's face suddenly changed, and even a few drops of sweat began to appear on his head. This arrogant tycoon across the south of the Yangtze River also had some feelings for Li Tang's ruthless treatment of other surrendered kings. The fear from the heart, today, in front of Fu Gongyou's words, this fear finally showed up. When Fugongyou saw Du Fuwei's face, he knew something in his heart, and sneered: "Brother, you are the one who set up the pole yourself. All of us can surrender without losing the position of king, but only you, Li The Tang Dynasty will not let you go. Just like Xue Ju, the entire Xue family was killed, but generals like Zong Luohou and Zhai Changsun could continue to serve Li Tang. Therefore, you must have a clear understanding. When the time comes, you will be sold to others without knowing it." Wang Xiongdan became a little anxious and said loudly: "Second uncle, how can you say this to us? Our lives were given by our adoptive father. If Li Tang is really right. How can we live alone if our adoptive father is not good? How can we exchange our adoptive father's life for our own glory and wealth?" Fu Gongyou laughed: "I know people but not their hearts. How can I know what you think? . If you were really thinking about your adoptive father, why would you make such a suggestion? I strongly opposed it back then, but you said you only accepted it in name, but in fact you still stood on your own. Considering that Li Zitong was facing a huge enemy at that time, I also I reluctantly agreed. But now that Li Tang has left the Central Plains and wants to dominate the world, you still want to help Li Tang and ask your eldest brother to surrender. Who are you on? " Wang Xiongdan is so anxious! He knelt down directly to Du Fuwei, spread his hair, pointed to the sky, and said loudly: "The sky is above, the earth is below. I, Wang Xiongdan, swear by the sky that if I have any evil intentions and want to do harm to my adoptive father, If you say anything, I will die under a knife!" Kan Ling also knelt down and swore: "If I, Kan Ling, say anything false, I will die badly." Du Fuwei sighed, stood up, and helped him up. He had two adopted sons and said: "Okay, okay, don't swear casually, it's not good. I know your loyalty, but what your second uncle said makes sense. Li Yuan is ruthless and will treat all those who surrender to them." Those who claim to be emperor will be killed without mercy. Even if we really want to join them, will there be any good results? Once we lose our land and army, we will be at the mercy of others. Whether you live or die at that time is a matter of one's thoughts." Wang Xiongdan shook his head and said loudly: "Father, I think things are not as absolute as you think. After all, Li Yuan's background. Being a big family allowed him to quickly raise troops to gain an advantage. The people of the world wanted to win over the family, but at the same time, it also gave him an invisible yoke. It was the kind of moral shackles that made it unlucky to kill anyone who surrendered to him. To kill them all is an act of betrayal. If you destroy your credibility, your descendants will still get retribution, even if your own generation is fine. " Du Fuwei curled his lips and said: "Yes. Well, what happened when they killed Xue Rengao and Li Gui? " Kan Ling smiled slightly and said: "These two people did not surrender on their own initiative, but had to surrender when they were defeated. They were just desperate attempts when they were desperate. , and their rule was extremely cruel. The Xue family and his son massacred the prisoners of the Tang army and tortured the scholars to steal their money. However, Li Gui clearly had food in his warehouse, but refused to help the victims, so that Liangzhou in Hexi Province, which had not experienced any war, actually went to Liangzhou in Hexi Province. There was a tragic situation of cannibalism. Both of these people were extremely angry with the people. They lost all their subordinates and killed them. This was not an act of breaking a promise or breaking a promise. On the contrary, it was an act of eliminating harm for the people and satisfying people's hearts. Otherwise, if you can't fight, then you surrender, and even if you surrender, you can't kill. How can there be such a good thing in the world? " Wang Xiongdan took over the conversation: "But our situation is different. Since we received the title from the Tang Dynasty, we have always been content and obeyed the orders of the Tang Dynasty. Just like the last time the Tang Dynasty sent the envoy Xia Hou Duan was pacifying the states and counties in the Central Plains and was chased by Wang Shichong. It was we who sent troops to protect Xia Hou Duan and allowed him to return to Guanzhong. For this we even received a commendation from Li Yuan. Now the overall situation of the world has gradually become clear. Wang Shichong is trapped in Luoyang and will be destroyed overnight. Li Jing and Yang Xuangan are obviously ready to stand on their own. Their next target is us. If we don't truly surrender to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, we will only be joined by them. In attack, with our current strength, we are not as good as Xiao Xian, so how can we be Li Jing's opponent? " Fugongyou gritted his teeth: "Li Jing and Yang Xuangan are not fools. Even if we can't unite with Wang Shichong, we can always do non-aggression with them and join forces to protect ourselves. Even if Li Tang can defeat Wang Shichong, their army It is beneficial to fight in the north, but when we reach the south of the Yangtze River, we may not be our opponents. Why abandon the country and the foundation in front of us and be controlled by others? " While they were talking, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. The four of them stopped talking. Du Fuwei said in a deep voice: "Who is here? I have given an order?Secret military discussions, no one is allowed to interrupt! " A clear voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty Li Baiyao, I have an urgent military report. " The corner of Du Zhanwei's mouth curled up: "It turns out to be Li Shilang (Li Baiyao's current official position is the Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Southeast Daoxingtai, responsible for handling various official documents), please come in, do you have any return in advance. " The door opened with a creak, and what came in along with the sunlight was Li Baiyao's fair face and beautiful three-strand long beard. He held a newspaper in his hand and said anxiously: "Commander, Pengcheng. Yang Xuangan sent someone to deliver a letter, saying yes, saying" At this point, he looked embarrassed and stopped talking. Du Fuwei's expression changed, he took two steps forward, grabbed the letter, and hurriedly With two glances, he became furious and said: "What, Yang Xuangan actually wants us to give up Jiangdu? ! Bastard, who is he? We all won Jiang through hard work, why should we give it to him? ! " Fu Gongyou frowned, took the Tang newspaper from Du Fuwei's hand, and while reading it, he said: "This Yang Xuangan is too arrogant. Could it be that he really wants to stand on his own and wants to seize the two Huaihe lands? ? Wang Xiongdan sneered and said: "The Tang Dynasty hasn't sent troops to attack us yet. Yang Xuangan, who the second uncle said can be regarded as a foreign aid, has issued an ultimatum. Father, it can be seen that Li Jing and Yang Xuangan are all ambitious." The arrogant and untrustworthy warlords in troubled times will not unite with us. Now is the time for you to make a decision. " Du Fuwei gritted his teeth, threw the letter to the ground, stepped on it hard, and said sternly: "Damn it, I can't beat the Tang Dynasty, can I still beat you Yang Xuangan? Don't think that just because you are the most powerful general in the world, I am afraid of you. Now I want you to get to know us. Our Chu army is not a vegetarian! " "Send the order to raise troops immediately, including 50,000 infantry and 10,000 horse troops. I will personally lead the attack on Pengcheng. I want to see how good you, the most powerful general in the world, are! "
